[(GUIDE)] Lg V410 kitkat return to stock w/o pc.

So here's my little guide on returning your v410 to stock unrooted from kitkat.
First of all download the stock rooted rom by @timmytim
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-p...-v410-onlykot49i-v4101d-4-4-2-rooted-t3040208
Next download the stock recovery img.

here's a link to an image I made before flashing twrp on my v410. I've restored it with dd and flashify and it works fine. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1l3W9XHAqEgX0ZCUWc1QTlfWjg/edit?usp=docslist_api

Have flashify installed
Busy box app by stericson installed, I have pro.
Boot into twrp
Flash stock rom. Do not wipe anything!!
Reboot
Wait for apps to optimize.
Upon reboot flash the stock recovery via flashify. Once succeeded just press the home button to exit out!!
Open busy box wait for it to load and choose uninstall, normal uninstall not smart.
Reboot
Upon reboot open up su. Do not update binary!!
Scroll through settings and tick Full Unroot, select yes and wait.
Once uninstalled it will exit out on it's own
Reboot
Download root checker and check, you should be unrooted and able to factory reset or whatever you choose.
You removed busy box so there should be no traces of root.

Has anyone tried this? I'm desperate to get back on stock OTA/unrooted, this tablet has just been too laggy for my liking on any custom ROM. I'm currently on CM nightlies, on LL.....

So this works fine, I said "screw it" last night and flashed it. I decided to keep root though......so I just went from CM Nightlies on LL....back to KK. Oh man I missed KK. :silly: :good:
Only thing is, I went into bootloop after flashing the ROM, so I booted into TWRP and did a full wipe (minus external SD), did a factory reset.....and flashed it again. Booted up fine, and with an hour I was getting a prompt for an OTA being available.

ok, i followed your guide here and several others on the interweb. I am stumped. I am trying to install the update, but when I do i get that updates are not for rooted devices.
I did do a full unroot via supersu and flashed the stock recovery. When I put it in download mode, it says that it is still rooted. What did I do wrong?
little background, this all started when i was stock rooted and running xposed and twrp, and accidentally allowed my kid to install an update with out looking and got stuck in a twrp bootloop. flashed test build and then I am here. Any help would be appreciated.

any updates?

ok so there is a zip for stock non testbuild. But how did the device pop up with a update wouldn't it not update if you had a custom recovery

OTA Update with systemless root

I just received a notification on my 6P saying that the january security update is available. The thing is that I'm rooted with systemless root, xposed, EX Kernel and TWRP. Can I update using the update button?

With systemless I believe you should be able to.

I just posted about this too....no one got back to me. I got the same message and have more or less the same setup as you. I'm scared to reboot and update lol

No.
If you have TWRP installed you will not be able to take an OTA.
Why bother?
Just flash what you want.

Ok, so if I reboot and my phone tries to install the OTA, what happens?

I have exact the same setup and tried to let the OTA install but in TWRP it aborted because of the mismatching kernel I think (at least it said it expected the generic device name Google angler etc and in stead it found Huawei nexus 6P Dees-troy etc)
So no harm is done when you try to update other than it doesn't work
But as far as I know when using xposed there's no use for systemless root because xposed is changing system partition

This update message won't go away. Can I flash it myself through TWRP with Xposed installed?

You cannot use twrp with an OTA. You need stock recovery. Also I believe that Xposed modifies /system and that in itself would prevent the OTA with stock recovery.

I used step 10 from this guide then re-flashed TWRP, Super Su, ElementalX and everything seems to be fine, no data loss.

Nothing happens. it'll just fail to flash the update. It'll reboot to twrp, attempt to flash the update, and it'll fail the flash. So it just won't flash. Then you'll just reboot the system and nothing will be changed. I think you can flash these minor changes, but if you try to flash a major update through OTA it won't work with out stock recovery because that's part of the flash I think

It does not bored because of mismatched kernel. Because I tried flashing the stock kernel and then OTA and it still did not work

This. At this time it's the only fix. I did it as well. Never flashed a factory image via fastboot before so I was a little intimidated but Heisenberg's guide is so smooth and easy to follow I did it in about 5 minutes lol. Plus it was a great learning experience for me.

Is it likely that eventually TWRP flashable zips will make this process easier? Or is there some sort of restriction with these updates for Nexus phones that will always require fastboot?

Not sure. I do know that the above method only took me about 10 minutes. Yeah it sucks you have to utilize a PC to do it but its really not that bad. Maybe in the future someone will figure out how to implement the updates via flashable zip in recovery.

I struggle with this too. I really hope that someone will find a solution to flash it via .zip (sadly I'm more a programmer than an Android-hacker, otherwise I would try my very best right now ).

Just to point it out, it looks like the article you are referring to has been updated since it was linked. I wouldn't want to wipe userdata, so I think 11. How To Flash The Factory Images (Return To Stock But Leaving Internal Storage Intact) is what you were referring to at the time. Apologies for the resurrection.

I just used the FlashFire app to update my Nexus 6p with the February update and it worked like a charm.

Root for at&t note 3 on android 5.0

Is there anybody that has been able to root their at&t note 3 on android 5.0. I bought an at&t note 3 the other day and have been looking for a way to root it but have not found one yet. Please help me.

Absolutely. I just arrived at work or I would post a full detailed guide, but here's the run down.
You have to downgrade from 5.0 (OC1) to 4.2.2 (NC2).
Once you've done that, root with towelroot.apk, install SuperSU (I prefer chainfire), then install Busybox, (I prefer Stephan Erickson) and then finally, install Safestrap Recovery V3.75.
Then boot into Safestrap recovery, wipe/factory reset, and then flash the ROM you want.
I would gladly post links to everything but as I said, I'm at work. If nobody else does before I clock out. I'll definitely help you out.

im not the poster, but I would like the info if you dont mind. Thank you.

Did anyone ever figure out how to root this phone yet

Read above...

Sorry guys work got the best of me. I just got permission from a couple of developers to re-do a thread that elaborates more into how to root, flash etc. So that will be up by the end of the week (hopefully). My method I will be posting is completely different than what I'm telling you here. Because my guide will let you flash an a single file using flashfire that will already have root, xposed, viper audio, + extras already installed and configured. What I'm posting below is the main method being used.
In the mean time:
Download and install Samsung Mobile Drivers http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117, Reboot before connecting your phone.
Download https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001615211 - This is a stock NC2 (Android 4.4.2) image you will flash to down grade from 5.0. (Temporarily).
Download Towelroot https://towelroot.com/tr.apk - This is towelroot, it exploits a vulnerability in android 4.4.2 that allows you to gain root without even rebooting your phone.
Download SuperSU https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip?retrieve_file=1 - You can of course user any superuser app. I am personally a big supporter of Chainfire and his applications.
Download Safestrap Safestrap-KLTEVZW-NCG-3.75-B03.apk http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=4718#downloads - This will be your recovery.
Download Odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711451 Make sure it's version 3.10.0 and only download odin from that post please. There are obnoxious amounts of fake odin downloads that come up in a google search that may contain malicious code.
Don't forget Busybox https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en
Also download any ROM you want to flash, BEFORE doing this. Unless of course you want to stay on rooted 4.2.2
----
0. Backup. Back up everything.
1. Place Towelroot, SuperSU, Safestrap, and Busybox on your SD card.
2. Bring your phone into download mode. (Power Button+Volume Down+Home Button)
3. Connect your phone to your computer using usb. (Back of the computer usb is always better)
-Make sure you installed the Samsung Drivers
4. Bring up odin and place N900AUCUCNC2_Full_Odin_Tar.tar.md5 file in the AP slot. (Odin might hangup and freeze for a minute. It's normal, don't click or do anything, just wait.)
5. Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time on odin should already be checked. Just make sure.
6. Under ID:COM on odin, it should read 0:[COM4] in light-ish blue color.
7. Odins message should read <ID:0/004> Added!!
--Numbers might be different for each person.
8. Click Start and wait a while. After 15-20 minutes your phone will eventually boot into Android 4.4.2
And in this exact order:
9. Install Towelroot and click 'make it rain'
10. Install SuperSU, Be sure to disable knox when it asks. If it hangs at all just force close SuperSU and try again.
11. Install Busybox
12. Install Safestrap
Done.
When you want to flash a ROM simply place it on your SD card and flash it using Safestrap. Make sure when flashing that the ROM comes with the OC1 kernel. If it doesn't you'll need to flash it after flashing the ROM.
As I said above I'm going to be posting an entire thread this week dedicated to rooting, flashing, and working with this phone. It's going to have the most updated information that I have and an easier and quicker method that doesn't require Safestrap. I'm going to ask mods and hopefully it will get a sticky.

Thank you!! I`m going to try this tonight. I`ll let you if I can pull it off. Looking forward to your new thread too. Thanks again!!

Quick question phlashb4k, the first step in your guide ( 1. Place Towelroot, SuperSU, Safestrap, and Busybox on your SD card.), the link you posted for busybox is for the play store app. Is there a zip file for it elsewhere. I can`t download the app to my sd card.. Could I install it from the play store after I`ve downgraded from 5.0 to 4.4.2? I`ve searched this site and googled for a while and I still cant do it. Everything else is ready ready to go. Thanks in advance.

I am new to the root process and must also down grade to 4.4.2, can i re-upgrade to 5.0 after the root some how while maintaining my root?

Safestrap
Without question Safestrap is the biggest problem for me
The newer version B03 would not boot to recovery
I had to go back to B01

Yes you can install directly from the Playstore or flash a zip file. Either works just fine as long as everything is installed in the correct order you'll be good to go. Allow me a bit and I can upload the .apk directly to my google drive account and provide a link. You could really download SuperSU and Busybox from the Playstore if you wanted to. It just takes a bit longer.

Of course. After you downgrade you then have access to Safestrap, which is a custom recovery environment you use to flash ROMs with. (Almost) every ROM for our phones already have SuperSU installed, if it doesn't it will specify in the thread that you need to flash SuperSU using Safestrap. But there's only a few that require it. Most of them already include the OC1 kernel inside the ROM as well. (OC1 is the only kernel that will run 5.0 on our phones).

If the following doesn't help please explain your problem in a little more detail for me, write out each step you are doing and I will try to see which might be causing the issue.
Safestrap is very touchy and actually isn't compatible with 5.0 (OC1). To boot into Safestrap after flashing 5.0, if you want to do a backup (which I wouldn't recommend with safestrap, I've personally only had bad luck) you need to either flash the NC2 kernel with odin, or download and install http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/development/nc2-flasher-app-unsafe-t2989141. I suggest downloading the .apk. All you do is flash the NC2 kernel with the flasher app and it will automatically boot you into safestrap. After you do whatever it is you need to do, (flash patches, etc) you then flash the OC1 kernel and reboot. OC1 kernel can be found here: https://mega.co.nz/#!fAcA3JhL!-hK_TU6NamIJdvgwWdZ90VmOwBdRBxSL70VgC4sILwc
To fix your Playstore issue, remove any Playstore updates you have, then download and install the latest version from here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/

Well I was was able to down grade with out a hitch. If I knew it was so simple, I would have done it a long time ago. I finally was able find all the info I needed about ROMs available and how to`s but before I start flashing, I`m going to have do a lot more reading on this awesome site. Now since my note 3 is no longer in service and out of warranty, I`m assuming I don`t have to settle for a at&t rom. I`m just going to use as a little tablet with just wifi and bluetooth. That is after have used it as a guinea pig, then I`ll start on rooting my note 4. Thanks again for your help in getting me going, phlashb4k.:good:

It was like talking to Time Warner.
Reboot it.
I understand sir, just reboot it.
Something in their network failed.
So now that I'm off the roof.
The safestrap that you had a link to wouldn't run at all.
I mean it loads and looks like it works tells me that it is installed and that the recovery is installed but won't boot to recovery. That is with mine Safestrap-HLTE-3.72-kk-B01.apk
That is the same thing that happened with your version Safestrap-KLTEVZW-NCG-3.75-B03.apk
I finally unloaded everything and started over from 4.4.2 factory stock
order that I got to work was
towelroot
su
busybox pro
safestrap B03
uninstall safestrap B03
uinstall busybox and install it again
install safestrap B01
uninstall B01
restart busybox pro
install B01
And finally I got it to show up correctly and boot properly, recovery and all.
Everything installed but now........
It wants to "update again"
Every time it updates, it crashes the system and I start over.
Gonna try it one more time and then go back to rooted 4.4.2 probably if it doesn't work.
I wonder if Verizon is this bad.
It's like when I had Time Warner's all in one router modem. Crash o matic every time they "updated" something
Now with an Asus RT-68U and Motorola modem I'm fine.
Incorporated the stagefright fix I mentioned earlier and it got all but one file.
Shows good in Lookout but CCVE-2051-6602 shows up in Ziperium.
Just turned off auto mms for this second and see what AT&T screws up with their update her when it finishes.
It's been a long ugly day and has nothing to do with this but I'm tired.
Thank you very much for your post and your help.
Take Care

Could you upload a screen shot(s) of your modem and kernel version .
Verizons Note 3 doesn't have a locked bootloader. Just AT&Ts. Which is why we have to jump to get root and such

So the Verizon is easier to deal with? I just was looking at the BOUNTY for a Verizon note 4 and thought it might have been more of a pain
Sorry for the Delay I have 3 Great Pyrenees a Catahoula and 2 domestic short hair cats the were rioting to be fed.

Hi, are my ROM choices pretty limited because the ATT phone has to run on OC1 kernel? Will most of the popular ROMs from the other Note 3 threads run on OC1?
Thanks, Mike

Absolutely. I just arrived at work or I would post a full detailed guide, but here's the run down.
You have to downgrade from 5.0 (OC1) to 4.2.2 (NC2).
Once you've done that, root with towelroot.apk, install SuperSU (I prefer chainfire), then install Busybox, (I prefer Stephan Erickson) and then finally, install Safestrap Recovery V3.75.
Then boot into Safestrap recovery, wipe/factory reset, and then flash the ROM you want.
I would gladly post links to everything but as I said, I'm at work. If nobody else does before I clock out. I'll definitely help you out.

Supernoob question. I plan on doing this soon with my new note. However, I was wondering if the hotspot is automatically unlocked in 4.2.2. or do I need to download a special rom for that? thanks

Anybody know how to insall Xposed on Android 5.0? or have the link of the working one?

Thanks plashb4k, did this last night and it worked out great! I have a couple of questions though. (i'm completely new to this.) First, how can I disable Device Management from the phone? Now it is always in the Notification panel saying there is a new update. Secondly, are there any roms you recommend that work with android 4.4.2 really well? Thanks.

[RECOVERY][ROOT] N910T/T3 6.0.1 PE3 - How to Root (Systemless & System Mode) / TWRP

[RECOVERY][ROOT] N910T/T3 6.0.1 PE3 - How to Root (Systemless & System Mode) / TWRP
This is really simple but I'm guessing people are still wondering.
Download TWRP
Download SuperSU 2.76 Systemless (for Stock Kernels) or Download SuperSU 2.76 SystemMode (Permissive Kernel Required)
*Optional* Download a Permissive Kernel like BeastMode (only needed for System Mode SuperSu)
Download Odin
Put the SuperSU on your SD Card / Internal Storage
*Optional* Put Custom Kernel on SD Card (Optional, Only required if using SuperSu SystemMode)
Reboot into Download Mode
Flash TWRP in Odin
Boot into TWRP
Flash SuperSU
Enjoy!
For details on how to flash with Odin, flash with TWRP please see other threads or use Google.
Additional Downloads:

Additional Info:
NetFlix:
Some users have reported that NetFlix would not connect after rooting. There is no need to do this if you do not have any problems with NetFlix.
-Delete /system/vendor/lib/liboemcrypto.so and reboot.

Thanks of course to Chainfire & Teamwin
Also Thanks to freeza.

Cool. Thanks. it's same for all other mm roms too.

Is this Systemless root?

So if we already have a rooted device with TWRP installed, and assuming we already were able to flash 6.0.1 to the device, then the only step required is:
Download SuperSU
Flash SuperSU via TWRP
Is that right?

Your prior rooted device needs to be rerooted. Download SuperSu to phone. Download TWRP to computer. Odin TWRP. Once TWRP is flashed, boot to TWRP and install Supersu [at least that's what I did.]

But since I already have TWRP installed as recovery, do I need to re-install it via Odin?
Unless flashing 6.0.1 overwrites the recovery?
Otherwise just flashing SuperSU should re-root.

Odin flashing MM will overwrite your recovery.

Question, have rooted and jail broke many but not this 910T yet. I am on non-root 5.1.1, should I take the OTA 6.0.1 and then follow the above instructions or download 6.0.1 from samsung and install via Odin and then start following these instructions? Would perfer to take over the air so I dont have to reset up everything.
Thanks in advance and I cant fn wait to start using Adfree again!

I downloaded via Kies. Didn't have to setup a thing after.

Agreed.

Anybody know if editing the platform.xml still works for SD card writing? And with the update I am getting the stupid -504 error in google play store trying to install Titanium backup......I might have to reflash ugh.
Edit*****
I fixed my issue

They will.

Man I hope not. We did a lot of *****in! Looks like HTC is gonna do the next nexus and should be on par with the N7 but I really don't want to do that. There is no way any phone can compare with the same phone rooted and custom. We will see.

Any ideas, stock non rooted 5.1 updated via OTA to 6.0.1, flashed latest TWRP 3.2.0 successfully (USB Deb enabled, R/L disabled) and still boots into stock recovery? What am I doing wrong?

Found a work around from another post:
'm trying to install TWRP, but it keeps getting overwritten. After installing, I can initially boot into TWRP, but after doing a system reboot, it goes back to stock recovery. What am I doing wrong?
Here's the steps I take:
Open Odin, check AP and load twrp image (3.0.0)
Connect phone and wait for Added!
Uncheck Auto Reboot
Click Start and wait to finish.
I then have to take out the battery to turn the phone off (I had to do it this way because leaving Auto Reboot checked would cause the same issue as below). I then boot directly into recovery and TWRP loads as expected. Everything looks fine, and I can do a recovery reboot back to TWRP. However, if I do a system reboot and let Android load, then shutdown and boot into recovery again, I'm back to stock.

Perhaps try wiping everything...
System, Data, Internal Storage.
Then flash the Odin MM tar.
Then start the process in the thread.
I personally did the process after a SmartSwitch update and it worked from just doing what I listed in the OP.

It work!!!
Doing a new backup now

Thank you for that, but i believe i need more files such as a stock boot img to get an ota update, i have already tried flashing the stock recovery today and as soon as the ota update started it stopped a few minutes after so i think imma wait till i get my hands on a working computer this Friday

You need to flash the kdz file using LGUP and then you will be able to take OTA update. Then you can install TWRP and root.n And you don't need to lock the bootloader to go through this process.

Is Nougat easily to root? I'm rooted on mm now but nervous about making the update. Is xposed working?

If twrp is working then try and flash supersu, no harm in trying anything if you got a backup, right? (read somewhere that root and xposed were working tho)

LGUP does not detect my device :crying:[stylo 2 plus LG-K550 if wondering]. i have tried this over at this thread,
shakeyabooti said:
ARE YOU HAVING TROUBLE WITH LGUP NOT SEEING YOUR MOBILE?
Try this....... take the back off your mobile so you can get at the battery. Connect your mobile via USB. Start LGUP, if it does not see your phone DO NOT DISCONECT, DO NOT RESTART OR TURN OFF LGUP. Take out the battery and then put it back in.......let the phone restart on its own. LGUP should now see it.

seems it has detected my device after flashing superSu (root) to my device again, but it gives me an error "LGUP can't load the model[C\program files(x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\com"
noticed that it didn't end with a bracket "]" so the information it gave me is probably incomplete (or a typo in the LGUP development:laugh but i am still stuck

No longer stuck lol, and have nougat 7.0 rooted! See my signature to see how to update and get root access!
