[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] realpanv:
Installing TWRP was one of the first things I did when I got this Lenovo phone.

It worked like a charm, I pressed the Volume Keys and the Power button simultaneously and voila! TWRP opened. I was planning to install a custom ROM, so I decided to backup my device, just in case something goes completely wrong. I backed it up, then tried to move the backup from the /data partition. That went kinda wrong and for some weird reason TWRP didn't do anything but show this loading bar on the bottom of my screen.

Since TWRP was being unresponsive, I decided to remove the battery from my phone.

When I tried to access TWRP again, to my surprise, it was gone. The stock recovery appeared instead. I tried reflashing TWRP using both SFP and ADB/Fastboot, and even though the transfer was successful, the Lenovo recovery was still there. I booted to Android and saw that the "OEM Unlocking" option was disabled, even though I had enabled it. I re-enabled it, tried all the things I mentioned before and I got the same result. I opened up Android and.. OEM Unlocking got disabled.. Again.

I enabled it, yet again, tried going to fastboot, where I tried unlocking the bootloader. FAILED! I also tried side loading SuperSU.zip. FAILED!

As a last resort, I used Kingoroot to root my device, and to my surprise it worked.

I still can't seem to be able to flash CWM/TWRP, though, and I would like to install Xposed. SuperSU is also a necessity for me.

TL;DR I can't flash a custom recovery even though I could, Kingoroot worked for me, I need to get SupeSU, Xposed and a custom recovery. Side loading/Flashing using ADB isn't working, OEM unlocking gets disabled every time I reboot my device.
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raghuM:
Now that you are rooted, i would suggest you to try 'flashify' and check if you can get your twrp working again. I still doubt it would, since you said you werent able to get it installed through fastboot before, but first give it a try.

When you confirm it working just flash the supersu zip using whichever method you like.

FAQ Section

What is the MDL bootloader? It's the jelly bean 4.2.2 firmware for the at&t galaxy s4. It's a locked bootloader, however it has a flaw in it that can be exploited by Loki Doki to allow a custom recovery to be installed.

What is Loki Doki? It's something that exploits the flaw in the MDL bootloader allowing you to do things an unlocked bootloader can do. To my best of knowledge, it acts similar to a PlayStation modchip by tricking the bootloader into thinking that whatever you feed it, is authorized to boot.

Can I downgrade my bootloader to MDL if I took the OTA? Only if you're a Samsung or at&t smartphone hardware tech.

Why can't I use Loki on other bootloaders? Because the flaw that loki exploited was patched in the MF3 firmware. With the exception of the MDB bootloader which was the bootloader before MDL.

Do I need motochopper to root my at&t s4? Nope, towel root works just fine to get root on the MDL bootloader.

Why does OUDhs CWM recovery tell me root or recovery may be lost on reboot and want to fix it? I have no idea, I think it's a bug. Just select "go back" until your phone reboots and all should be fine.

Why does your guide say "experimental" for AOSP or CM based ROMs? Mainly because I haven't messed around with any and am basing on how to boot them off my time using the galaxy s2.

Why can't I use TWRP recovery instead of CWM? You can, as I pasted a link to get TWRP installed in my guide. It's just I based my guide around CWM because that's what I have always used. Do note that TWRP is different, so you'll have to figure out how to wipe and install the ROM property.

What's the difference between CWM recovery and TWRP recovery? Nothing really, except the UI and how they handle files and things. Due note that CWM recovery has been discontinued, while TWRP still thrives today with updates.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Tubifex:
So I am on MDL and have OctOS 7.1.1 flashed but no root. I have tried towelroot with no success. I do however have TWRP 3.0 on my phone but SuperSU won't flash. Do you have any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] StoneyJSG:
OctOS has root disabled by default. You have to flash a root .zip file to activate root. Make sure you are loki'ed and that you have the right TWRP version as well as the right root .zip for your phone. Towel root only works on stock Android jelly bean 4.2.2, 4.3, and kit kat 4.4.2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Tubifex:
Where do you suggest I find root.zip file?

Hi,

I'm trying to find a way to install MDL to be able to get past my att bootloader lock. I have everything except the MDL Odin file. Can you please tell me the link to get it. I'm new on the site sorry if Im in the wrong section. I want to be able to install custom rom on my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 Att. I have already downgraded all the way to NB1 and rooted and updated all the way back to OK2 without losing Root access. I went ahead and reflashed stock for fun however to see if I could do it. It worked. So now I'm unrooted back on OK3 official via OTA. I just tricked the time on the phone, changed the date, to bypass ATT's stupid ota 24 hour update wait period inbetween updates. . So I have no issue experimenting because I have the way to downgrade all the way back to NB1 no problem with Odin and then Ota update back to OC3 then OK2, Ok3 ext. Ext. So I just need to get to MDL so I can use loki from what I have read. I'mean only able to get to NB1 basically due to lack of .tar/Odin file for the exploitable mdl bootloader.

So if I can get the Odin file or zip to MDL I will know what to do.. Thank you ahead of time for all your hard work! This post is amazing.

-Scott

(Hopefully I did this right lol)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] StoneyJSG:
Once your phone has been updated past MDL, you cannot go back. NB1 is the farthest back you can go without bricking. You are stuck with safe strap recovery for kit kat and flash fire for lollipop. You can only boot custom touchwiz ROMs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Scottie32583:
Thank you so much!! You saved me a lot of time with this information. I can quit trying to find a way to go back. I will stick with flash fire and safestrap.

Scott
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] StoneyJSG:
No problem. Be careful as safe strap works only with kit kat to my knowledge. If you're on NB1 I think that's kit kat. Flash fire works with lollipop as safe strap doesn't. Flash fire may also work under kit kat, but I am not sure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] 7ravler:
Sorry to leave you hanging here. I was referring to towel root and I did find a good file. Thanks. I see you posted that I cannot go back to mdl after updating to OC3? Bummer! I should have researched a little more before I did that :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] StoneyJSG:
Nope, once you update past MDL which is MK3 I believe it patches the loki doki exploit so it can't be used and also makes it so if you try to downgrade back to MDL you can brick the phone.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] CroW_D:
Hello XDA community,

Is there anyone here who could port the oos animations to aosp/caf based roms as a flashable framework mod or a substratum theme since substratum support custom animations. I would do it for myself but I dont know how.

I would even be happy if someone eventually has a explanation/guide how to do it then I can try it for myself.

Thanks

Best Regard CroW_D
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] coldflid:
The animations are located in res/anims within framework-res.apk

To extract them from OOS you need to grab framework-res.apk from OxygenOS (it's in system/framework). I haven't done any mods for a while now, but replacing the anim files inside the framework-res.apk of your rom with the ones from oxygen os should work. I'd do a backup before trying this. I used to be quite nitty so what I used to do was decompile both framework-res.apk with apktool, replace the anim files after decompiling, then recompile your framework-res.apk

If you have the framework-res.apk from your rom i don't mind doing a test zip for you to try

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Origamiman72:
also idk if its just me, but did it also cause some systemui crashes for you?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] CroW_D:
No systemui crashes for me. Just replaced the anim folder from oos with the current one you have on the custom ROM but make sure you have to redone this every time you flash an update of the custom rom. Meiby you picked always the old framework res apk. And replaced it can causes the issue.

Please tell me the procedure to add su files in marshmallow system.img and flash it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vshlkmr:
Bro, I used to root androids way before, then I moved to windows phone and have just recently bought this lava a97. Although I can give you an easiest way to root a device, you can try it with this phone and let me know if it works.

Find a stock rom of any device you want to root, extract the boot.img (use cygwin if you are on windows), there will be a line "ro_secure=1" just change the one to zero, repack the boot.img and either reflash the entire modified rom or just the boot.img.

Then you can simply install super su and then any root checker app to see if the phone is rooted.

Although this method used to work flawlessly on indian branded phones running android 4 series but not sure it will work now, but it's worth a try.

---------- Post added at 08:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 AM ----------

Rooted phones use su binaries (small block of codes that perform a specialized function) which are granted to be used by any other app that requires them through superuser app. Just pushing in the superuser app won't give you root, you also need those binaries (which on various phones are transfered via adb or through zip flashing into the /bin directory)

---------- Post added at 08:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 AM ----------

You can do one thing, extract the stock rom, extract the system.img partition, and then copy the binaries directly to the /bin folder (you can lift those binaries from any rooting zip file from the corresponding bin folder), then copy the superuser app to /system/apk , repack everything, then edit the boot.img as I told earlier, then flash this modified rom onto the phone.

---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 AM ----------

Try googling for cygwin, if you are running Windows 10 x64 bit, you can also enable bash for ubuntu... These tools will make packing, editing and repacking of the images easier, but am not sure how to flash the image again back onto the phone
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karljsamuel:
I tried the above mentioned steps in my Ubuntu 16.04 with Android Kitchen and Superr's Kitchen. With Android kitchen, I unpacked the system.img and the kitchen made the boot image and made the ro.secure=0. Then I added the necessory files from [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] SuperSU.zip as per the update-binary script mentioned and repacked system.img with Superr's Kitchen. When I flashed modified system.img and boot.img with flash tool.

The superSU app said that su binaries are not installed and it cant install them also it asked me to reroot the mobile phone.

I also tried with Dirtycow exploit also but not worked.

Can you make me a custom recovery. I followed the steps mentioned in this forum to port a custom recovery but it struck in the boot logo.

T-mobile version is the only version rootable?
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] autoprime:
I believe there is sig verification now. But that doesn't mean game over.. just has to be bypassed.

It's a shame that tmobile allows bootloader unlock but removed fastboot flash/boot commands.. therefore requiring a bug to be burned just to get TWRP flashed.

Tmobile H872 G6 doesnt have root yet and will only have root once they have a method to get TWRP onto the device. Fastboot boot/flash commands are disabled so it will take an exploit of some sort to get TWRP flashed to the recovery partition.

The only other G6 device that will have root is whatever device LG adds to the official bootloader unlock list which can be found here: http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryId=CTULRS0703

Currently there is no G6 model added to that list.. but over time they may add a model or two. The models added to the bootloader unlock list will be the models to get for proper bootloader unlock, TWRP and root without jumping through hoops like the Tmobile H872 variant does.

For all the other G6 variants without bootloader unlock (att, verizon, us cellular, canadian, australian, south american, korean, chinese, etc..), a new root method of some sort would be needed but there is nothing public yet. Once a public root arrives and if a debug bootloader image is leaked (like the LG V20) then other G6 variants might be able to have an unlocked bootloader allowing TWRP and permanent root.

The LG V20 used the dirty cow bug to gain temp root to obtain privileges that allow the debug aboot img and TWRP img to be flashed. Dirty Cow bug has been patched in the G6 so a new root method will be needed.

Just laying out all the current info to this date. I have no plans to work on any of this as I do not have the device.
