Hello

I have the Sprint LG V20 LS997 software version LS997ZV9 on android 7.0 with 109/01/2017 security patch.

All I want to do is to install the high impedence quad dac hac.

Does anyone know of a root process that does work with simple clean instructions please?

Thanks
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
This doesn't belong in this sub-forum. With that said, you can't. ZV9 is ARB1 or ARB2 (doesn't matter), so you can't roll back to a firmware version that is rootable.

A new exploit similar to dirtycow will have to be found, or the reverse engineering of the LAF protocol will have to be finished.

[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] Atronid:
Hi everyone,

Today I am posting this thread because of some idiots who are now sharing pre-rooted firmwares for SM-G361F that are full of bloats.

I am sick of that, this is why I upload the archive of the first pre-rooted firmware I got that was at least clean.

You can download it here: https://mega.nz/#!oqpRhZJZ!B18uTiB3TH-QfChoqjgWCNmaPjqInPZbFyI4u9-T8s4

Note: This firmware is ONLY for Samsung Galaxy Core Prime SM-G361F devices with AOG1 build.

Of course I don't own the firmware and I didn't root it, I just keep the right to upload it.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] MelonChickens:
Although I have no use for it, I did test it out and...

...I bricked my device.

Nah, I'm just pulling your leg! I tested her out and she is perfectly functional. Much better than that, what was her name? Andro-Woman? Or was it Andro-Man?

She seems like a woman to me.

Much appreciated and thanks alot, Hank Cyclone, which is your new nickname.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] Atronid:
Thank you dude I almost got a heart attack :)

Glad to hear that worked fine for you (actually there were no reason for this to not work...).

BTW why she? Is this your new girlfriend now? :confused:

Uh ok.

You look pretty high... :rolleyes:

HIGHLY PASSIONATED I MEAN *cough*

You are welcome melon...chicken... dude.

Yay I always wished to get such a nickname thank you sir :good: :D

Pre rooted

Hey,can you find SM-G361F pre rooted version for this device?

BaseBand G361FXXU1AQA1

Build number G361FXXU1AQD1

I can't find it anywhere
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] AryanK1:
I love what you're doing. All other pre-rooted ROMS are full of trash. Could you make it for G361FXXU1APA3?
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] Atronid:
Hum... OK guys thanks for the love but I have to remember you something.

I am not a developer yet and truly not a ROM unbloater: I didn't "disinfect" the firmware, I just reuploaded it (well after a fast check, I found I've already prevented about that, just read the thread please...)

So no dudes I can't do that, sorry. I COULD eventually do that, removing bloats and extract system image to make a flashable shouldn't be as complicated, but I do not have time.

Sorry to disappoint you.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] elrecharlie:
Hey Atronid, you rock! I have the AOL1 but intend to give it a try cause I already rooted it but it's full of bloast. Do you know if I can flash another pre-rooted firmware considering I did this already? could this be harmul? -brickful? :))-
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] عبوش@:
:laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] Atronid:
I don't think doing this will brick your device, but careful. Ensure the usal requirements are here (OEM unlock, USB debug just in case...) and you made a backup, also in case something goes wrong.

But if you're rooted you got plenty tools that can remove bloats from your device, but I hope you're not easily scared because once removed system may spam that the bloat you just uninstalled has stopped. You can get rid of that by just rebooting your phone.

So you don't need to reflash any firmware if you just want to clean your phone up.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] elrecharlie:
Yes, you're right. The problem was that the apps I tried to remove other apps weren't the right ones, but now that's sorted thankfully :) On the other hand, as I couldn't find an Android 6 ROM for my phone (not even a sorry recovery.... :( ) in the end I set my mobile to install new apps on the sd card by default. Actually it works similarly to the app Link to SD, so a part of it is on the SD card and the rest (like the data it generates) in the device storage, despite all the tutorials sell this method as "Installation directly on your SD card". You need a computer and official Android development tools (SDK). In case it's of any interest for anyone I'll include the tutorial I followed, but it turns out I'm not allowed to post links yet, so the title of the article was Cómo instalar aplicaciones DIRECTAMENTE en la tarjeta SD from androidjefe website. In English, How to: Force Android to automatically install apps to SD card from softonic website

I hope it helps :)

Hi guys, can I use this rom to install on core prime g361f with baseband FXXU1AOH1? I tried once with TWRP but failed.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] Atronid:
Read first post. I don't think it will work if you have a build other than AOG1.

And you should not use TWRP to flash like this. Use Odin and Download mode instead.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] gymfreak:
Will this rooted firmware work with my SM-G361F phone? Need advice...

Hi there,

Will this rooted version work with my phone?

I'm new here and need some help and advice re Rooting this Samsung phone SM-G361F - I'M NO TECHIE but have ability to following instructions and make connections etc. My phone details are below.

Baseband G361FXXU1ASC1

Build LMY48B.G361FXXU1AQD1

Patch level is 2017-4-01

Security software version ASKS 1.2_161011

I did once try rooting a Samsung tablet using Odin and it all worked OK, but that was a while ago.

How important is it to get the identical build or baseband? Anything else I need to check?

I was trying initially trying to change the phone's MAC address, as I was experimenting with the phone, however I could not use an App to do this as it stated phone that the phone needs Rooting first for App to work. Also tried Terminal Emulator app but it kept failing to work as I was probably, unable to input the text commands required correctly.

I hope someone can please help and advise me on this.

Kind regards
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Mef:
hi,

New to the "ROM update" world, i've succeded in installing the French Rom V1.25.406.1.fr on my HTC Cruise (Polaris).

My "problem" was this red and very ugly "SFR / vodafone" splash screen. Then, i searched on the forum to find a way to change this screen and found this thread :

"How to kill vodafone startup" : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=368421&highlight=sfr , redirecting to a ...Trinity thread.

I arrived to the WIKI page dedicated to this : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Trinity_SplashScreen and followed instructions using "mtty" :

USB> task 32

USB> lnb finalsplash.nb 500e0000

USB> task 8

USB> task 32

USB> lnb finalsplash.nb 50140000

USB> task 8

The device restarted twice (after each "task 8" command), and now offers a white startup screen, but keeps on loading WM6 FR correctly. So there has been a problem while updating the screen but did not cause a dramatic failure.

I then restarted the device in booloader mode and found that the description in the red section had been sort of corrupted.

It now displays :

::::::::::: MFG

SPL-2.20.01inex

CPLD-2

As it looks strange to me, and as i can't find a way to have a proper splashscreen i decided to reinstall the ROM package. But when starting to install i now get this message "ERROR [244] : INVALID MODEL ID". On this error screen is also diplayed a kind of serial number on the right bottom, and it looks "corrupted" as far as i remembe i saw such number ant it was normal during my first installation. It now displays : "N-&ààaâäae-S-PPND./01*"

After this quick recap, i would be very please to find help for any tech guy (or not) who could find a way to get install a proper ROM on my device that will be updatable again.

hope i'm clear (i understand this can be a little messy ..), and i really hope someone will help me get rid of this.

thanks guys.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Olipro:
well congratulations for managing to find the place it stores the Model ID, hard luck for managing to wipe it.

what I'll do is rbmc my device and dump off my nand so you can write back a valid ModelID... but in the worst case scenario I can just bung you a patched SPL to ignore the model ID.

I think I'll post the correct addresses on the wiki... also, rather than committing suicide like that, in future, build an NBH properly and the device takes care of the addresses for you.

oh, one other thing, could you please check and see if your WLAN is dead or not.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Mef:
Thx for your time dude. i feel so stupid ...

I've just checked my WLAN. it could correctly open a WPA TKIP session on my router and browse mobile.htc.com with Internet Explorer.

That must mean it's alive and working i think.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Olipro:
yeah... unicode string at 0x50104000

I think we can probably recover you if we make a 0x100 byte file with the appropriate data and lnb it to that address
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Olipro:
OK, I've reconstructed you a ModelID to flash using lnb...

command is

lnb 50104000 thefile.nb

(where thefile.nb is the filename of the NB in the zip... please remember to extract it)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Mef:
That's really great news. I'm crossing fingers. thx.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Mef:
Guess what ?

The bootloader now dipslays "POLA100". Big thank Olipro !

I'm on my way to have a ROM UPDATE in order to know if i can give you the title of fu*** genious of the day or not ;)

PS : correct command is "lnb thefile.nb 50104000"
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Mef:
ROM update successful, title confirmed !

Cheers Olipro :)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Olipro:
yes, my mistake, it's file then addr.

incidentally, the correct address to lnb the splash screen to is 0x50140000 and 0x501A0000 respectively.

[Honor 9i  Questions & Answers] iaditya91:
It says like that but recovery will be installed. So what you do is boot your phone with power button + volume up (or in adb terminal enter this command "adb reboot recovery") you will enter into twrp recovery. Than install supersu.zip placed in microSD card/USB than your phone will be rooted!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ScottIsMyName:
So this morning, we finally got our hands on some factory images. That is the good news. The bad news is that so far I am unable to get Magisk to work. Anyone else get it to work yet?

Here is what I have done:

1) Download the latest (5.4) magisk manager apk [Thread | Direct Link]

2) Set the update channel to both stable (14.0) and beta (14.3)

3) Choose install from stock boot img (with and without keep dm-verity and force encryption)

4) Copy the patched boot img from your phone:

adb pull /sdcard/MagiskManager/patched_boot.img .

4) Flash the modified boot.img in fastboot

fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img

Results:

1) With 14.0, the system boots up fine, but magisk isn't installed

2) With 14.3, I get bootloops, and have to reflash the stock boot.img in order to get it to boot.

Might be worth noting that the patched boot img is significantly smaller than the original one (about 25mb vs 40mb)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] stevetrooper:
I tried the same thing with 14.3 only and it says it patches the boot.img that I pulled from the image. I then reboot and I am not rooted. Is there suppose to be an option to patch the second slot?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ScottIsMyName:
Once you patch the stock boot.img it should tell you where it placed the patched img. For me it was /sdcard/MagiskManager/patched_boot.img

You need to pull that img file, reboot to bootloader and fastboot flash that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] stevetrooper:
Ok, I see you have to manually apply the patched boot img. This is my first Pixel, came from a 6P where I just used twrp to install magisk. Guess we need to wait for a newer Magisk.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ScottIsMyName:
Can you try flashing the patched boot.img? If you get into a bootloop, simply hold power and volume down to get back into bootloader mode and reflash the stock boot img
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] stevetrooper:
My PC is at home, will have to try later tonight. I suspect that it will boot loop like yours, since the patched img is only 25 megs and the original was 40.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Born<ICs:

This might pertain to flashing an updated bootloader. The boot image flashed fine, just bootlooped, so I don't think that's the problem.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] PhoenixPath:
I had to re-extract the boot.img from the factory image and flash it manually again to get it to boot. A flash-all did not seem to get it.

Fastboot flash boot boot.img
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DaMadOne:
I dont have my 2XL yet, but I grabbed the factory image and yanked the boot out of it then used Magisk Manager on my MXPE to patch the img. I've unpacked both images to compare them and it's definitely patching it and the patched one doesn't seem to be missing anything so I'm fairly certain the size difference is due to the patched image not being padded to the 40MB size of the boot partition. So probably not something to worry about.

It looks like my device will be here wednesday. If nobody else has cracked this case by then I'll start poking around. If anyone else is poking around and looking for ideas. I would start by unpacking and repacking the normal boot.img and flashing it just to make sure it boots. Assuming it does then modify the default.prop on the patched_boot.img to enable insecure adb during boot so that adb logcat can be run while it's booting and maybe get an idea of what's going on.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] northmendo:
The only problem I see with your process is patching it in another device will likely cause problems because it was patched using the wrong vendor image.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DaMadOne:
Oh yeah, I wouldn't try to flash what I made from another device. I mainly wanted to see what, if anything magisk manager would do with it. If someone wants to upload a patched_boot.img they made on their 2XL so I can look into it when I get home from work tomorrow that would be appreciated.

Maybe I'll get lucky and get mine tomorrow.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] northmendo:
I can do that. I'll create one first thing in the morning.

What's the best way to look at the contents of the img files? Preferably on Windows
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ScottIsMyName:
update:

I mounted both the stock boot.img file and patched boot.img files and it does appear that changes are being made.

Here are the files that are different between the 2:

ramdisk/init

The patched boot img contains additional files that seem normal:

ramdisk/overlay/sbin/magisk (binary file)
ramdisk/overlay/init.magisk.rc

In addition, I found the backup of the main init file that was changed in ramdisk/.backup/init

Here are the contents of the init.magisk.rc file

# Triggers

Not sure if this is useful to anyone, but maybe it will be.

One thing I noticed was the the . rc file contained references to /dev/.magisk and /sbin/magisk but I do not see those files in the patched boot img (only in the overlay folder, and maybe that's all that's needed, I don't know nearly enough about this to say for sure).

But, perhaps that's part of the problem?

I'm hoping we can crack the egg on this only because no root or TWRP is a bit of a deal breaker for me. I won't have my device in hand until November 22-27 even though I ordered on release day. Once I have it in hand I'll do my best to contribute to the cause.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] CapnShiner:
I transferred data from my Pixel XL to my Pixel 2 XL using the USB cable and most of the app data copied over just fine, much to my surprise. I also use Titanium Backup and I was concerned about not being able to get all my backed up data without it. It's actually not so bad. The thing about root I'm missing the most is ad blocking.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cb474:
I had the same experience. It just downloaded my apps from the store and did not copy data or settings for almost all of them. It also randomly copied some things like wifi passwords, but not contacts, call logs, calendars (which I guess it just assumed I would sync through the cloud). Blech. This is the first and last time I buy a phone that has just been released and does not have root (and therefore Titanium) yet.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Steve:
My experience was even better. I went to go setup everything after I reset to unlock the bootloader and Google said my account had no cloud backups at all on it. I've been using android since the OG Droid, so how exactly is that possible.
