Download giefroot rooting tool v3.1 and extract the files on your PC (Windows only). [original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/giefroot-rooting-tool-cve-2014-4322-t3011598]
Connect your phone to the computer.
Start install.bat
If until that moment you have never connected you phone to this PC via adb you will get a popup message on you phone to authorize this computer. Do it.
​
The procedure will start. After a while your phone should restart by itself.
After the phone boots up wait until a popup from SuperSu appears asking for adb shell root rights. Do it.
​
When you give the permission you have to see on the computer the sign "Device rooted".
If it says Device not rooted repeat all the steps running install.bat again.

No.

If I at some point would like to return to stock completely (not rooted no dualrecovery etc.) after rooting using this method could I just flash the Stock Firmware with flashtool?

Use flashtool (From flashtool.net) to flash the downgraded FTF file found in the FTF mega collection thread
EDIT @G-FACE, thanks for the reminder, the file you need is also, conveniently, found in the OP of this thread.

This is legit man. Really needed this noobed down version. The main thread was getting full of bs.
@[g-face] a few quick questions that I saw some ppl were having issues w/
(I'm running d6603 global, .77FW)
Read / Write r/w system access is solved from what I understand - correct?
Read / Write r/w to SD card solved as well (read a few quick comments about ppl experiencing issues w/ this).
Some people were experiencing issues w/ Xposed not working (r/w or something), can you please point me to a good guide on how to get Xposed running well w/ no issues foreseeable.
Again, really appreciate this. Cheers.

Tried this but the same issue as with another procedure I tried.
"Drivers need to be installed for connected device"
Why? I selected which FTF fw file the flashtool should be using, but it's still giving me this error. So strange that no one has had this issue, even though no guide mentions that one needs to install these drivers... :S

Maybe others actually install the drivers then
Goto C:\Flashtool\Drivers
and run
drivers.exe
Choose fastboot, flashmode and Z3 drivers
Then try again. The guides also do not mention that you have turn the PC on, some sort of self help in overcoming errors does help. If it says drivers need to be installed, install them...
PS, also there is never a need to quote the whole OP, I will edit that out for you

Choose the flashmode and fastboot drivers as well

If you are running Windows 8/8.1 you need to allow installation of unsigned drivers.
No problems with rw access if you follow the steps. Xposed installs normaly, as always, no problem installing it.
Rw access to SD is solved by installing SDfix from Market. I did it, and it's working as expected.

Official Boost LG G Stylo Unbrick Guide ZV4

I personally Tested this
Continue only if you have messed with the /system partition (and don't remember what you changed) and you are on 5.1.1 this will remove root but you will keep your data
Okay well now
Make sure you have a Windows PC
Download the LG Drivers from here
Download this 5.1.1 System.img
Place downloaded img to your external SD via adapter or through a spare phone you have
Now place SD back into your phone
Reboot your device into download mode
Download this folder and unzip it to your desktop:
Run ports.bat from within the extracted folder, to find your correct port (use the one with: LGVZANDNETDIAG1)
In the LG_Root folder hold shift and right click and choose open command windows here
Type
Code:
Send_Command.exe \\.\COM6
(Make sure your COM port number is correct, it varies)
Type
Code:
dd if=/storage/external_SD/system.img bs=8192 seek=42816 count=327680 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
you will see a flashing _ line instead of the # let it do it's thing you will know it finished when the # shows back up
Type
Code:
LEAVE
and press enter and let your device reboot

There's no real need to go back to 5.0.2 anymore. 5.1.1 came with improvements and ui enhancements. Just save yourself the trouble. As long as folks can unbrick to 5.1.1 all is good.

Yeah but I'm stuck on rooted 5.0.2 on boost lol
If I can either use this to upgrade system to get on 5.1.1 (would that even work?)
Or get system back to fully stock on 5.0.2 which should let me upgrade, then it would be great.
*edit
I'm going for it with the image. if I brick my phone then I can just tell LG it bricked trying to update

You can unbrick with this guide. Just ask 6th_Hokage to post his 5.1.1 boot.img and modem.img to flash along with the system.img he posted. When we got recovery for the metro stylo that is how I flashed it to my phone using the send_command.

I've tried using regular Send_command for the system.img i linked before and would get a message saying its not signed.
Hoping doing it this way bypasses that.
If 6th_Hokage can send me all that other stuff and I can upgrade manually piece by piece that would be amazing.

Yeah despite it working. I dunno how well I can suggest such crazy steps..
Basically asking someone to brick it so they can update it.
Crazy rollercoaster of emotions for me but I'm glad I went in knowing full well that I more than likely was going to end up with a bricked phone.
Finally my months long journey for getting to 5.1.1 has finally happened.
Thank you so much for uploading that system.img for 5.1.1 couldn't have gotten here without it!

Im 100% sure you can apply same steps/method to update from 5.0.2 to 5.1.1 (Latest version) without having to brick your device..... In other words this can be Boost Unbrick/Update guide if you see it that way

Yeah you can probably skip straight to using 5.1.1 system.img and then updating.
But I rather put down my exact steps.

Found L14 Honor 8 B320 Update... What do I do now?

So, I found the OTA update packages for the FRD-L14 to B320 (and B317)
I really wanted to update... but I'm not sure how.
I'm rooted, with TWRP and SuperSU installed, and it all works ok.
I didn't want to do any hard methods, scared of bricking it. Updating the OTA over SD card isn't working (can't even find the setting)
So what to do?
They are only OTA updates, not Full, so I can't just use dload method to load them up.
I would prefer to keep root, but if I have to reflash to stock, and then re-root, I can do that.
Any other methods I can use? Can anyone with a bit more knowledge help me out?
And of course, more than happy to share the OTA files, one is approximately 3gb (B317) and the other is about 300mb (B320)
Thanks

Will that work? I tried doing that but the updater didn't find the update in the SD card. It told me there were no updates available.

you need to make sure the zip file you get are the right one.
since your have TWRP, just flash the update.zip and the update_hw_usa.zip Link without reboot in between.

i updated to 5.0 (320) on my L14, i don't suggest you to upgrade if you need Bluetooth. Everything works fine except Bluetooth. And if you need tutorials and all roms, just reply me i will send to you.

that is honor8's hardware code and support library of Android 7.x. You can understand it as hardware firmware for honor 8. and update.zip is system and software part. In order to make software part works, you need correct hardware firmware.

Ahh, that makes perfect sense. Thank you.
I had tried to update it via twrp before, and when that failed, just tried dload method, and neither one worked. I didn't have the hw_usa file.

Thanks, it worked great! Any tips on how to re-root? I need the new SuperSU version, right?

Bluetooth is working fine for me on FRD-L14 on B320. That probably means you flashed the wrong file or an incorrect version.

Hmm, it seems to have worked for me, but I seem to be running into some issues. It might have failed for me too.
I HAVE to replace some of these default apps. Some of them are truly awful, not to mention I have to uninstall some.

Having searched with no luck so far, has anyone got a working root for the SM-J530F yet?

This device is very new, so you should wait for people to start work on it. If you have any knowledge, start by making a custom recovery or similar

it's happening finally! embrace yourselves

I am just trying to compile twrp for the J530f. Any help is appreciated aß groß is the first Recovery I am trying to build. Gathering Information about the boardconfig.md or where to get a proper binary. I am usimg the one from samsung openSource - http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=J530f - atm. However the version number is not exactly the same as my device's.
My Current config contains true for the values I already have looked up and informatio where I have found them.
I now have verified all uncommented flags.
Commented Flags still not verified.
Added TWRP Flags from https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943625
Edit: Updated BoardConfig.mk

Created a recovery.fstab. Should be correct . Could not find the usb block.

i'm going to trying this

edit: odin binary error. someone can correct it?
edit2: ROOT OK!!! just rename the file from md5 to tar. but there's a little problem: is necessary to wipe data before made it. after the root, softwares update don't work.

Was The root successful? Works the root with no Problems?

The root works. The correct procedure is: wipe data from recovery. Don't boot the Phone and go directly into download mode. Root the phone

Phone bricked while rooting

So i used this guide to root my phone:
youtube. com/watch?v=AMNVruAU6do
at the end it doesnt installed spuerSU and my phone have bootloop.
then i thought maybe factory reset would help. So i did it, and now i cant acces to my phone at all.
any thoughts?

Ok, need more info,
What model GRA ???
What Build No. ?
What you have tried since?
If the phone was bootlooping how did you access "factory re-set" ?
Have you done ANY searching/reading to help yourself, not least, even my advice in the post below "P8 Stuck at Boot"?
Have you any experience in flashing this phone or even others?

model GRA-l09
Build emui 4.03
so i used SRKToolHuawei 2.0 and it installed TWRP.
then i rooted, and it went into bootloop. So by this program i enterd TWPR again and did factory reset.
and i tried to reload lastest patch but i got "waiting for device", and its not moving from there.
only used kingroot to root another phone. and i tried looking on other forums for solution but nothing helped.

Have you tried downloading an official ROM, say B999, and putting the "update.app" into a folder on SD card named Dload and rebooting while holding all three buttons?
Have you read my advice here? :-
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p8/help/huawei-p8-l09-bootloop-trying-to-root-t3695022

ohhhh i will try this option, but first need to get another phone so i can put things on sd card ;/

okey it worked and put me into TWRP mode. What i should do next? continue to root?

So i continued to root installed supersu and now my phone is working, but still i dont have root, and i cant find super su app. Anyway thx for help <3

@krullol
If using B399 you MUST use the latest versions of TWRP and SU.
Just follow the instructions in post #1,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hua...4-0-1-t3431249
TO THE LETTER, using these linked to files (TWRP and SuperSU) and, hey presto, a fully rooted P8.
