ok so...
after the first time around, when it reboots itself, do i put it back in download mode? or just run it again?

Yes after the first time boot back into download mode and run Sugar QCT again, this time with the 2 files replaced
Thank you for the question, I will update the instructions so people know to put it in download mode the second time. I'm at work now and will update that when I'm off

Awesome dude! worked first time unlike the other methods on here. thank you so much

No problem man, I'm glad to hear it worked for you. It originally took me 2 months to get TWRP on my phone using the old way. I tore the whole rom and kernel apart trying to figure out an easier way. Enjoy and if you feel like testing, try my ~CricketRom~

Once you uninstall with Titanium, reboot and popup will be gone

Yeah I got it to work. Have you tried magisk on this? Can seem to get it to install on the build you posted. And if i flash it again with QCT it will unroot?

I haven't tried Magisk because I don't need it. If you want it to work, you will need to install the stock kernel through TWRP. I posted a link in the cricketrom thread for the stock kernel because another person was trying to install Magisk as well.
Yes, if you install again with QCT it will unroot.

SugarQct
Any chance you can upload a link to the newer version of sugarQct? everytime I click for it to update the application, it just says that it isn't responding

I wasn't able to find a legit download link for the newest version, so what I did was copy the files from mine and uploaded it for you. I'm not 100% it'll work but it's worth a try. Just unpack and drop in your tool folder, located in your Sugar QCT install location.

User/Pwd combo no working for Sugar - has this been changed/updated?

Yeah, it's not working. That's not good. I'm going to be pissed and sending some e-mails if I can't get on and flash stock if I need to. I'll search around and see if I can find a working combo. Thanks for the heads up.

I appreciate your hard work with this. Any recommendation on the way to TWRP/Root this the user and pswrd don't work?
Thx

the login info is not working please help me.

Does it work on 6055P too ?

It looks like rooting the Idol 4 is now dead since we have no access to Sugar QCT anymore. So unless you already rooted or have a phone that works with DeckerSU's method, you're SOL

The password isn't working, is there a different one I can try?

There is somebody I know who does have a working Login for sugar. I just recently made contact with said person and am working on getting that login info. I'll update my post when/if that happens

Sugar not working

Froze blur.res 2.3.6

I froze this app because I decided I would try freezing some apps and was going by the thread on here that has a big list. When I froze this app my phones email and calendar stopped working. I tried unfreezing it and instead of it going back to the app list it just seemed to disappear, it was no longer in the frozen list or the app list. So I just tried a factory reset and now I can't do anything as the phone I keep getting force closes on Accounts, is there anything I can do?
If you REALLY want to stay blurred, go with a fruitcake:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009
Otherwise, improve your phone by going with one of the many nice ROMs in the Dev section. Neutrino/Joker's CM9 are my favorites.
And in case you aren't all ROMtastic yet, unlock your bootloader (MAKE SURE THIS IS OK FOR YOUR BLURRED SELF FIRST. I HAVE NOT BEEN KEEPING UP WITH 2.3.6 ISSUES AS I LEFT BLUR A LONG TIME AGO), flash Romracer's most recent recovery, and then flash the CWM zip for whatever ROM you go for.
If you end up bricking yourself, this may or may not be useful:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22583493&postcount=139
well it isn't an issue of a new rom or anything I want, my phone is unusable right now because I froze the blur.res 2.3.6, and with the factory reset I can't do anything because the second it comes on I get force closes on 'Accounts'
And my suggestion is flash a new ROM. If you are concerned about keeping your data, try an adb pull of whatever you want to hang on to.
Oh, and try adb install (ing) the specific apk you froze (grab it from the /system/app under the fruitcake for your ROM).
ohhh haha sorry I misunderstood, but I guess I'll give it a try if it's really all I can do. I'll try to find the apk from the fruitcake rom first though and see if I can do that first, is there any link for how to do an adb install? Thanks!
I just read that people who OTA'd to 2.36 without unlocking earlier have lost the ability to do so. Just regurgitating, again I unlocked forever ago and don't worry about ATT's ball and chain anymore.

No what I read says people on your version (2.36) can't unlock. You should verify this by reading around.

No problem, man. Let the community know how it goes, and for future reference, use the Thanks button (I don't care too much haha). Welcome by the way. A well-asked first post, though it should have been in Q+A
Haha and I will post again with results probably tomorrow
Okay i'm back and very pleased, I unlocked the bootloader with the automatic script tool linked earlier and then used the script for Tenfars recovery in it as well. After that, since I couldn't actually get on the phone to update CWM I just went ahead and tried flashing a ROM. I used Gingermod, I wanted to try Neutrino ROM but I couldn't get to the download links for some reason, anyway Gingermod is now installed (after trying the tegrapart 1100 kernel, I didn't know which one I have so I tried that one after looking at some forums saying most ATT Atrix's are 1100). I had everything backed up with Titanium Backup previously so restoring all my apps was simple, and everything seems good so far thanks again to omni_angel7!

No problem, man. Glad it worked out for you. I'd give neutrino a chance when the links work for you again. Welcome to ROMaholics anonymous! Oh, and to prevent any future error, make sure to get ROMRACER's recovery (recommended) or the most recent CWM. Tenfar's is outdated AFAIK.
Yeah, I heard that as well so I updated CWM with ROM manager. And I found a download for Neutrino so I have it saved on my computer currently, I'm going to wait a few days though and just see how Gingermod goes (since it's smooth and the battery seems good so far)

Successful Root and Unlock HTC One M8 with VZW Lollipop

Hey guys,
I have never posted a thread like this so please tell me if I have done anything wrong. I don't have enough time to write a proper guide but if someone wants to they are more then welcome. I take no credit for any of this information, I just took the risk and attempted an M7 root and unlock method on my M8. And it worked! But just a little differently. I followed the steps in this thread but with a few minor changes: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...root-root-method-bl-unlock-5-0-x-ota-t3122099
Okay so basically instead of using the mobile app of Kingroot I used the desktop version and had a much higher success rate. Once I gained temporary root for the first time I ran sunshine and finished all of the compatibility tests. The phone will reboot and you will need to re-root. Once you've gained root again run sunshine. It'll only take a couple of minutes. It may crash. That's fine you should now be unlocked. This is as far as I have gotten do to time constraints and not knowing exactly what recovery to flash. If someone knows please let me know! As stated in the original thread this is super finicky but will work. Just have some patience.
Also, I didn't get official software status. In case that's a problem for anyone.
My Phone:
VZW HTC One M8 running lollipop 5.0.1
Ill try to clean this up when I get home from work but I just wanted it to be out there so everyone knows. I will remove this thread if someone posts a better one. Thanks!
UPDATES?
i need this working bro, my m8 is pissing me off, king root wont work i followed all your instructions
also what version of kingroot did you have?

i have the one the ends with 7.0.1 i believe i cannot check right now, i am servicing it because i have to replace the jack and get a new housing which will take a coupe days to ship, i did however get root s off after trying for the longest time. my issue now is whenever i try to boot into the recovery, most of the time it will take me to stock or show the error triaangle which indicates there is none installed which there is (very frustrating) once in a blue moon however i will finally get into twrp and whenever i try to do a backup, it says failed or some kind of error. and EVERYTIME i try to reboot my system it would bootloop into recovery! and when that happens i would be forced to re install a rom and the whole proccess starts again. So i just stuck with the gpe rom basically and i tried to do a backup and the whole recovery issue just pissed me off so i just decided to to my hardware fix by replacing the frame and the headphone-charging port which ended up not being compatable with the verizon model so i had to re order (very frustrating) will probably by the at&t model at some point instead
anyways sorry for being rude earlier and thanks for your patience!

If I remember correctly all I did was go to twrp's website and download the most recent version for the VZW M8 (I think it might have just been one for all versions not sure) then installed it through adb and it has been working flawlessly. I since installed ViperOne without any problems. The version of twrp I got was 2.8.7.0. Once you get your phone going again i'd suggest reinstalling twrp through adb.

As noted by the previous response, you should get the latest version of TWRP (2.8.7.0) if you are on Lollipop firmware. TWRP versions 2.7 are known to be problematic on LP.

You're correct, TWRP for CDMA (Verizon, Sprint) and GSM versions (most other M8 versions) was merged some time ago.

Root Asus Memo Pad 176 on lollipop .36 newest firmware plus Xposed

***DISCLAIMER***
If done incorrectly, this can soft brick your device. I take no responsibility for this, and if you're unfamiliar with rooting android I suggest reading up before attempting. There are threads to fix your tablet if this goes sideways, but if this doesn't work I personally can't promise I can help you.
I used this method two days ago, and would like to thank jerbear294 for providing me with the information. I didn't come up with this, I just want to help others looking for root.
Hello guys
First, apologies if this is a redundant thread. All the root methods I've seen in individual topics seem outdated, and I just wanted to make this quick guide to help people from having to scan through pages of information to learn how to root these things. This method works on firmware WW_V12.10.1.33_20150917, which is the current release as of this post.
Lets get to it!
Download
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/intel-android-devices-root-temp-cwm-t2975096
(Navigate to page 1, for some reason it links to the last page)
Place it on your computer and unzip.
And the latest supersu .zip 2.46
https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/
Which will be on your tablet.
Install the temp recovery to your computer, connect the tablet, make sure you enable adb (USB Debugging) on it in developer mode (Settings → about → software version → tap build number 7 times for developer mode). Once connected, run the exe in the .zip from the temp recovery.
Choose: TWRP HDPI portrait, T4.
Your device will boot into twrp recovery. Now navigate to the supersu.zip on your tablet, and install, and you should be good to go . Good luck, and happy rooting!
Thanks to everyone who developed these tools (especially Social_Design_Concepts), and XDA for providing a medium to relate them.
To run Xposed, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
Choose 'xposed-v80-sdk21-x86', this is currently the only version I've had success with. Happy hunting folks!

I updated my me176cx directly from v17 to v33. No matter what I do, the rooting method you outline here doesn't work for me anymore. On v17 it worked first time, now it's a fail every time. No superuser app, no su binary. Any suggestions? I've reinstalled the v33 firmware (it was actually a nandroid backup posted by jerbear on androidfilehost).
Anyway, when I installed temp TWRP this time it asked me did I want to keep system read only - I answered no. Was that a mistake? Also, I went straight from v17 to v33, bypassing the v24 update completely. Was that the wrong thing to do?
Your help would be hugely appreciated, a life with an unrooted device is not one I care to contemplate.

I hear you. I'll be honest - I didn't so much Pioneer this method so much as succeed with it and then repost it to save people some time going through the threads on here :/
That said, I would ask jerbear if he has had this problem reported via his nandroid backup. Answering "no" in twrp was fine, if you said yes it would have been gimped and probably useless, so I doubt that's the problem. I would say it's the nandroid, but I've read people using it and nobody I remember mentioned a problem. In the meantime, try re downloading the backup and flashing it again, and then trying temp twrp and see if it works. I personally haven't tried jerbear's nandroid, so I can't speak on it's behalf
Sorry I don't have something more concrete, let me know what jerbear says and how things play out, and good luck

Hey, thanks for the reply. Just to clarify, is this the file you downloaded and restored? https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347832070
Here's what I had to do: I had to create a folder (this folder I named with my device's serial no) as well as creating a folder inside that folder that I named after a nandroid backup that I'd done earlier. Then I placed all the files from the nandroid zip inside that (second) folder. Only then did the TWRP 'see' the backup. I did the usual system/cache/dalvik cache wipe and restored the nandroid without any hitch. You did that or something similar to get TWRP to restore the nandroid, right?
I wonder should I have taken the recovery log from my own nandroid and replaced jerbear's recovery log with it? I'm starting to confuse myself at this point I think..

No sorry you misread: I never had to use that nandroid (or any on this tablet yet, all my updates .33 were in order and via ota) - I'm aware of it though and I've only heard good things so I'm not sure where the process might have broken down, outside maybe a corrupted download. That's why I recommended asking jerbear if he's heard of that problem from anyone, because it's a stock backup and I know tons of people have used it and supposedly rooted successfully using temp twrp. From what I can tell, you shouldn't have any problems...it sounds like you know what you're doing and did everything properly.
Can you revert to a previous version, and manually download .33 from https://www.asus.com/support/Download/28/6/0/23/3HzHuNmdcAgeMhJ1/32/ ? I assume there are no backups readily available, but the major xda thread on the 176 might have a couple older ones you can try.
I haven't done as much as a lot of pioneers with my tab, just update, root and install xposed. As such I can't really answer myself what the problem you're having is, just offer general advice I would try. Jerbear hopefully knows about what might be causing the root to fail

Hope I haven't misunderstood you here, but I'd tried installing the v33 from that thread when I was running v17 and didn't get anywhere with it - jerbear told me that restoring a v33 android backup was the only way to go. So even if I can revert back to v17 I'm kind of back to square one, really. I wonder if skipping the v24 update (which I couldn't flash anyway) is the reason behind my current woes though..
P.S. You got Xposed framework running on v33? I'm impressed, I couldn't even get it installed on v17, how did you do it?
Just chiming in to say this method worked for me and thanks a lot!
I was on firmware WW_V12.10.1.33_20150917, followed the instructions, and used root checker to confirm. Yep, rooted!
I did tap the keep read only button, more so on accident. Not sure what that does/did but I did find the restore defaults button. I don't know if that "fixed" anything or what but I didn't want to accidentally break something. Anyway, after that, I flashed SuperSU and was rooted.
Thanks again! :good:

Just chiming in to say this method worked for me and thanks a lot!
I was on firmware WW_V12.10.1.33_20150917, followed the instructions, and used root checker to confirm. Yep, rooted!
I did tap the keep read only button, more so on accident. Not sure what that does/did but I did find the restore defaults button. I don't know if that "fixed" anything or what but I didn't want to accidentally break something. Anyway, after that, I flashed SuperSU and was rooted.
Thanks again! :good:

Hope I haven't misunderstood you here, but I'd tried installing the v33 from that thread when I was running v17 and didn't get anywhere with it - jerbear told me that restoring a v33 android backup was the only way to go. So even if I can revert back to v17 I'm kind of back to square one, really. I wonder if skipping the v24 update (which I couldn't flash anyway) is the reason behind my current woes though..
P.S. You got Xposed framework running on v33? I'm impressed, I couldn't even get it installed on v17, how did you do it?

Hey sorry for the late response, work got crazy on me. I edited the original post to now include how to set up Xposed, for you or anyone else interested. Confirmed working on both .33 and .36
Hey guys!
Sorry for the off-topic but how is the new .36 firmware compared to .33? For me .33 sucked,all memory leaks , crashing apps, slow as hell,fortunately I got motherboard replacement and now I'm on KK again. Should I update to .36? What do you think?

It's got less battery drain here, performance seems better too but that could just be a placebo

Thank you. Does upgrading to LP unlock 64 bit capability of the processor (Z3745)? I'd really appreciate it if you could answer me.

I'm not sure, we should be because of art runtime but I feel like our version is bootlegged to a degree
unable to mount /data, internal storage 0MB. How can I load the zip file?
It's probably because FDE. I used a external SD card instead

Untouched 6.0.1 for boost/sprint/virginmobile

Its actually only 6.0 oops didn't look
If you are getting Error 7 Restore the stock system.img and it will flash
this is being uploaded i will have it up by the end of this day 1/4/2016
Update.zip file found here - Google Drive
when of course i get it fully uploaded
So if you have any questions or comments feel free to email me at [email protected] or text me at 5418870575 I do have school since I'm only 16 but will get to you asap
Me and 6th_Hokage think that the bootloaders completely locked because of the messages that the terminal gives system.img is unavailable because of this reason
Instructions
Step 1: Download the zip to your sdcard.
Step 2: Boot your phone into recovery mode by turning off your phone then holding the power and down volume button at the same time. Holdthese buttons until you see the recovery mode screen
Step 3: Navigate the menu by using the up and down volume buttons. Push the down volume button until you reach Update using sd card" It should be the last selection on the menu,
Step 4: Select this option by pressing the power button Once Step
5: Install the zip by selecting the update.zip.
Step 6: Let the install run(total time took about 15 minutes for me)
Step 7: Reboot the phone.
Your done.
I can't pull the system img I already posted what I was getting trying to pull it - bootloaders completely locked no way of bypassing it so far
Want to watch some tutorials on how to install the stock zv4 or zv5 come on by to my YouTube channel - Dominic Gresham
Ok ill say it... What the hell is this? Where did it come from?
Since Boost has already started OTA, I imagine Dominic is capturing and preparing to upload it for us.

Well it should be 6.0.1 because that's what ZV7 is so so so... get some kind of confirmation on it 'cause I'm pretty sure there's no 6.0.0 for our CDMA devices.

ya it is 6.0 thats the android version
Well that ain't right, geez, guess they'll have to push another update at some point to get that .1 happening. Bleh, I'm selling my Stylo this morning anyway so I guess I'm pretty much done with them till I can find a good deal on a T-Mobile model, the 1GB of RAM just ain't workable for me.
Is this for the sprint lg stylo too thx
i instaled update.zip i put in sd card recovery and install beware they stuck in update system image long time but they instaled fine
Thanks Dominic! and also [email protected] for preparing me to be patient for the update to install. Looking forward for the root solution Dominic, Thanks again!

should work an technically you should've gotten it first ._.
Where is the option to adopt sd card??
I did the update through recovery and the only thing i can't seemed to find is how to make sd card adoptable on my lg stylo??
Hey guys two quick questions, first the download seems to not be working, maybe uploading it someplace else would alleviate that. Secondly, doesn't booting into recovery force you to do a factory reset? If anyone that already flashed can clear that up I'd be grateful...
Anyone with root able to uninstall root and install update yet?
Either with simple unroot or factory reset

Blu8, I just re-dwnld's it went a 8,5 MB/s, that's my max ( downl'd to my PC, then transferred to my SD) and it was fine. So I don't know. Some guys on the facebook stylo page just now were having problems straight dwnloading to their phone, so I don't really know.
Kolma- I used the Un-root and un-brick-xda- http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/official-boost-lg-g-stylo-unbrick-guide-t3215198
then I used Dominic's update.zip in his OP on the first page and it all went fine. It took a bit of time to check, extract and install, so be patient, but it went fine for me. Good Luck!
This is Edwin bro lol thanks again

just install the file on your phone, and click 'root'
when green bar loads to 100%, you need to enter to recovery mode by urself to finish root.
root failed ;-(
I've got stucked at the full green bar. How to enter the recovery mode?

Most likely your download is corrupt. Make sure the file size is 25.8 MB.

Yeah, I don't know what the deal is, I've tried downloading it in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome, and every time it downloads as a 256KB apk file. A no-go on my end.
Root Does Work
Just an FYI - I did finally end up getting the download to be 25MB, and root did work perfectly. I was using Titanium Backup and Greenify in root mode. I was able to "freeze" a lot of apps. But I ended up making a mistake and going one step too far...I had everything frozen, installed Xposed Framework and XBlast, then decided I'd save some space by actually uninstalling the apps I had frozen. I did a bunch at a time, rebooted, no problem, then did another set, then got stuck at the "Sprint Spark" screen. Never was able to recover it even with someone else's TWRP backup, I get a ton of force closes, so it looks like I'm bricked. I'm not going to share the file since it's not mine, but after trying to download it repeatedly, for some reason it finally worked. Ran the app, had to hold I think it was Vol up + Power because it doesn't complete properly, but sure enough, it worked. TWRP gets installed and it boots to that when you do the Vol down + Power, then installs its' root. I've ordered another cheap phone so I can get one back up and running.

Hello, could you tell me where can I get the apk root file? I tried to download it from the chinese forum but I didn't find it
You just simply install it or do you need to do anything else in order to root it?
