I know,there's many threads about rooting l7. I searched here (xda), on websites in my country and I don't know what is wrong. From few days I'm trying to root my phone with any possible method I found. I think I did everything! I had every single file needed to get root, drivers, I install them, uninstall and install again and go on and go on. Yesterday I got ROOT! Flashed one rom, then one more and something went wrong. Right now I don't have root access and I spent half a day to do it again - nothing worked. I'm not sure if I have branded software (there is no logo of operator anymore when phone is turning on), but I know I have the latest version of it (v20d if i'm not wrong). I can't install any other version now (kdz).
It's late, I'm tired and dissapointed. I had HTC Wildfire once, and rooting that was so easy. I don't know what to do, so please, help me. Had anyone the same problems? What you did to fix that and get root?
I don't have your device, but I think you should list here all the tools you tried so others will have a better chance to help you right.
Maybe I'll tell you that:
1. I found 2 programs which should automaticaly root my phone - both don't work for me, even if I unbranded my phone (if you know what I mean).
2. I tried with UpTestEX_mod2_marwin to install kdz file and only once it worked. Something went wrong later and I had to back to original soft, so I tried to root again. Right now it doesn't work. There is en error (4010 if I'm not wrong) every single time I tried. I install drivers, msxml, windows enabler. I uninstall all of that, switch off the computer and switch on and try again - doesn't work. I tried to install v10k_00, v10A_00, v10k, v20D_00_root, v20a, v20B_deodex, v20d_00 - that is all I remember right now. I tried to do that with phone in emergency mode and normally, with and without battery.

First of all, I may be posting this in the wrong section. But I desperately need your help on this.
I got a Jiayu S3, and couldn't not try to flash a custom rom on it, so I tried with "Pure AOSP V1 TF".
All went well, untill i found this app which was included with the rom, "Kinguser" (should be Superuser, i believe), which game me the option to toggle root.
At first and only time I opened this Kinguser app, option root was active. I did deactivate it, and reactivated immediately after.
As soon as i reactivated root, the privacy pin screen showed up.
I didn't set any PIN on my phone, so at first i thought it could be something like 1111 or 0000. Tried 5 times and it made me wait 30 seconds. Then tried another 3-4 times.
Here began the real mess: "forgot pin" (or psw) didn't show up, but at the time i didn't even know about that recovery option.
I didn't know what to do, so I just thought that a factory reset would certainly solve the problem, how couldn't it? Well, wiped everything, but PIN lock screen didn't go away.
So, wiping everything, I also deleted my gmail account from the phone, and I lost the possibility to lock phone and give it a new password (Android Device Manager). Too bad at the time I didn't know about this recovery option as well...
Now I'm out of ideas. I think I've tried every method I could find with a search of "Smartphone PIN locked". Tried with resets, plugins, deleting files with adb..
How do I unlock my phone?
little update: after a factory reset, for 2-3 seconds, it shows the default initial screen, but it doesn't last more that and i just can't do anything.
Now i managed to bring back the stock rom, but with that i lost the twrp recovery, and i can't find a way to make pc recognize the phone to reflash it.
It seems it's going worse instead of better...
I had just bought this Jiayu S3 and planned to bring it on holidays on wednesday, but i'm starting to think i won't be able to fix it before then
Did you have any resolution to this problem. I am currently sitting in the exact same boat. Did the factory reset, pass code screen still there, I didn't set a pass code. Basically hands tied, can't update firmware, guessing i'll have to get a new phone, but hoping maybe you found a miracle cure! ha! - Thanks for any guidance. - Arden (Seattle, WA)
Just flash another rom (stock/original) and start over.
How have you done that?
Can you help please?
I tried factory reset (volume plus+ power button), hard reset (volume- plus power button), update, and nothing works; I also went to two different specialized stores and they failed to find a way to reinstall the original Android version or a recent one.
Comparing the files with the factory version installed in the phone, the phone report identified three changes:
- a new file: /system/priv-app/7mK0T6e8Z5.apk
- the lost of a file: /system/app/com.android.fallen.apk
- and a modified file: /system/bin/debuggerd

To flash firmware you can use SP Flash Tool on a windows or linux computer (not sure about macosx). You have to decide which firmware you want (which one do you have now?). The 'official' firmwares can be found on needrom. SP Flash Tool can be found there as well. There are 2 popular LP firmwares built by Jiayu resellers in Europe (Xtreme from Spain and Jiayu.de from Germany). Guides on how to flash are often present at the place where you find the firmware.

Thank you!
I found "Xtreme from Spain":
needrom.com/download/rom-xtreme-rom-tf/
I found the "SP Flash Tool":
needrom.com/download/sp-flash-tool-v5-1424-00/
but it is for Linux... can you send me the link of the windows version?
And I could not found the "Jiayu.de from Germany": can you send the link?
Also, can you recommend some good manual for dummies?
Thanks again for your patient and help!
latest sp flash tools is 5.1532
search needrom with "5.1532" will leed you to the download page
no link allowed here, so ...
for beta 10 from jiyau.de, search google with "jiyau.de Lollipop 5.1.1 - Beta 10 (14.10.2015)".
it will leeds you to the rom.
Good hunting

I would like to add: if you come from KK and go to LP, you must use firmware upgrade to update/adjust internal SD partition layout. Good Luck! if you succeed, and are happy with firmware, consider voting @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/firmware-jiayu-s3-t3212184 (almost 100 votes)
First, thank you for your great help!
With your suggestions, I managed to install Lolipop in my Jiayu S3S (upgraded from Kit Kat) - Xtreme ROM TF (JiayuS3-5.1Extreme1.1SP.zip).
However the problem remain... the phone still is asking for a PIN (that I never had put there, in first place)...
What should I do now?
you could try factory reset and are you sure its the phone asking for pin and not the sim card
Tuesday
306sh activated with MVNO, SA300 firmware, rooted, with TWRP recovery,
working fine for past 2 months.
For unknown reasons, it decided last friday (at home, none to low signal) to do a system update
(from SA300 to S7232). Phone - on the desk- just "dinged" and msg came up "updating
system software". I attempted to cancel, but it didn't respond. Less than a minute later, "Update Successful" msg. Didn't reboot, anything, settings showed S7232 firmware. (SA300 before,
i had done my weekly backup earlier that morning).
Since then, phone constantly reboots at the "Aquos" screen; after an average 8 hours of rebooting, it will boot to setup, the talking setup screen. Works perfect for about an hour then rebooting starts again. Let battery die last nite, tried again this am - same thing rebooting.
TWRP backups don't fix problem- weekly backup, i have 6 i've tried, factory reset doesn't fix, if i try to Software Update, it checks, tells me, "up to date".
I turn on wi-fi to use the phone from home, , guessing it did a ? hit & miss ? ota update since the
wi-fi was off when it attempted the update. Home is a very minimal signal area.
Any way to force it to take the S7232 update again?
(I could update over wi-fi if i had wanted, only i didn't want the update anyhow).
thanks, rik

Just home, thanks
Hi,
Thanks for the help, just home from work (rough), so i will plug the
Aquos in tonite and hopefully be able to try the file tomorrow,
(that 8 hour boot thing), just downloaded your file, i'm ready.
This is my take-to-work personal phone, sprint zone, and i missed it today.
Your help is really appreciated.
rik
Final note
thought i'd just post to let you know the phone obviously had big problems
-- it failed to start today -- just buzz on buzz off -- even after 4 hours charging,
all i could get was the battery dead screen, wouldn't come on at all.
Guess the real problem was with hardware, i laid it away in the junk phone box
in the attic, end of Aquos Crystal.

Question: My 306SH would not update (still at S8216). Could use your back up to update my firmaware?
After 306SH ph was acting weird, did a hard reset & saw system Software updtd to S7232, & unk file in Misc (.eCtcQjbu1dgnvtFnvnr6yepTp1M=) I then installed Malwarebytes & scan detects this S7232 software update as malicious malware Android/PUP.RiskyTool.Agent.ay (dm.redbend) "/system/priv-app/fotaClient.apk". When going to System to do an manual update, Malwarebytes popups w/same msg every scan "Software App", even aft reboot 2days ago 7/12/2017. And phone wont let me create new google acct. An error that "google account mgr not working" popup & I see that same unk file reappears. Ph not rooted -XDA says "there's no root for 306SH that works">see XDA blog 'Root for Aquos Crystal 306SH ONLY'.
Go to the Sharp USA website for the 306SH firmware, and see what firmware you are on.
Download the firmware from the versions higher than yours, and if there is a repeat, notably "kernel.img", download the most latest version of it.
Then, plug your device into your computer, make sure you have the proper drivers installed for the Sharp Aquos Crystal installed on your computer. Boot your device into bootloader. Go to a terminal, cd to the directory where you downloaded your .img's from the website, and do
fastboot flash kernel kernel.img
Ex.
fastboot flash foo foo.img
And you can flash all the latest updates. When done, exit the terminal, make sure the device is unmounted, unplug from computer, and reboot your Crystal.
Hooray, it should be updated!

Turkbot, I hate to beg on my first XDA post, but is there any chance that you still have that ROM and is there any chhance that it's not TextNow loaded? I've got TWRP, Busybox, SuperSU, Xposed, and I've tried every which way to edit the prop, tweak it with modules, unlock etc (it even works with my Sprint MSL, but crashes when I try to manually set my MDN and MSID) It just says no SIM/no service and refused to give me any signal except for GPS and WIFI without one. Countless 'techs' over the phone and 3 different Sprint repair stores claim they don't have the stock firmware and Sharp actually claims that the reason they can't help me with the firmware is their contract with Sprint forbids it.. If you still have the file or a TWRP / Titanium etc backup you would be my savior.
Hello
I have a Yotaphone 2 running android 5.0. I have a huge problem with the device which is, that the phone reboots automatically all by itself after the screen turns off. The screen timeout is set at 1 minute and once the screen goes off, the phone reboots! I don't know what the problem is but its making me crazy!
Note: The phone does not reboot if the screen doesn't turn off. So I changed the screen timeout to 30minutes. Also note that Wi-Fi doesn't start immediately. It doesn't even start most of the time and is stuck at "turning on"! And also, the phone isn't detecting my SIM Card!
Hope someone can solve my problem.
Wow, seems a lot of problems here. However you provided very few info about your phone.
1) Where did you buy it?
2) What have you done after you opened it, OTA? Which firmware was installed?
3) Have you tried factory reset by wiping data in the stock recovery? (Accessible with Vol+ and Power)
4) Have you tried to flash from scratch the RU .124 firmware with YotaFlasher?
5) The phone was behaving normally before or it's doing this as soon as you started using it?
I got the phone as a gift

-The phone was a gift from "Aramex Company".
-Yes, I have factory reset it! Note: It wasn't possible to reset it from settings because it would always get stuck in "Shutting Down" phase and nothing would happen. So I hard reset it.
-I found something strange going on though. Whenever I reset it, It would restart (after the reset is over) and say that "ANDROID IS UPGRADED TO 5.0".
I think it is upgrading by itself to 5.0.
-No, I haven't tried any flashing.
-Yes, the phone was working fine for a while and then started behaving like this!
Cheers!
(Thank You for your support and attention by the way)

Hello!
I have made a video showing what the problems are! Please give me your e-mail so that I can send you the "Dropbox" link to the video.
Thank You!
I think the first thing to do here is to flash a clean firmware (RU or EU) on your phone via YotaFlasher, search here on xda how, and then report back if it's happen again! Seems that the firmware it was shipped with wansn't so stable.
Flashed it!

Hey!
As you had prescribed, I flashed it! First I flashed it with Android 5.0.0-ME1.1.60 and after opening the phone I used it for a while and the phone was same as before flashing! There was no difference at all! The phone was restarting on turning screen off as usual, the WiFi wasn't turning on, and the SIM wasn't being recognized!
But then I flashed it with Android 4.4.3-S01-003-ME1.0.3.61a and the phone is still rebooting by itself upon switching the screen off and the WiFi problem still persists! The WiFi just simply won't turn on. It's stuck at "turning on"! The SIM isn't recognized either! Also, the phone is restarting from the inside now (It wasn't restarting before. I had to keep the power button pressed every time I wanted to restart)! But NOTE that the phone still cannot be just shut down, it can only be restarted!
I don't know what to do!
Cheers

Hi lgk350tr,
Why are you unable to make yotaflasher work, it is a pretty simple application. Have you tried to see instruction videos on YouTube on how to use it? Instructions are also available on XDA Developers' website. ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/yotaphone-one/general/yota-flasher-download-t3480922 )
Don't hesitate to contact, for any problem!

Try flashing the hybrid modem mentioned in the general guide (Part 2).
Try flashing 2 times before rebooting.
If nothing helps, you could try lineageos, @angelll123 made a lengthy guide how to that in the post quoted here , also check my comment.
Is this what you mean?

I do experience similar issue, but only recently. I haven't done anything like flashing or upgrading my phone, it started by itself .
I am experiencing reboots whenever battery drops below about two thirds of its capacity. Also, charging and handling some load prevents this.
Note that my Yotaphone has both displays damaged. Still working though.
Hello, everyone,
I tried to install LineageOS on my S10 Plus yesterday. That worked so far, but I found that it didn't have a decent camera app and the Samsung Watch wasn't that easy to connect either. So I thought I'd just go back to the Stock ROM again. I then downloaded the latest stock firmware according to this guide and installed it with Odin. The installation also runs through, after the installation the mobile phone starts and after the start screen there is an Android man with the signature "Erasing". After a few seconds, the device turns off and stays black. Even if I put it on the charger or try to restart it, nothing happens. I keep getting into download mode and recovery, but that's about it. Multiple reinstallations and resets via the recovery didn't help - the phone just won't start.
I used the CSC_... and not the HOME_CSC_... at the firmware is the right one for my phone.
Is there any way I can salvage the device? I'm afraid that something in the memory is defective now, which has nothing to do with the flashing itself. Do you have any ideas?
Many thanks!

I'm glad it worked.
I was very afraid that the phone died, what did you do for 5 days in this state?
Now I have a question in my mind: When Samsung releases an update in the future, will the bootloader and modem files be updated when we update it with odin? won't it be updated? After that, do we will always update manually as twrp? do you have any idea?
Well, I simply didn't use a mobile phone in these days. It was a very "interesting" experience, but not a huge problem. I sometimes opened WhatsApp as Windows App (interestingly, which works without phone).
I don't know, what happens at a Samsung Update, but until Android 13, I will not update (so probatly never). In our German forum (www.android-hilfe.de), a pre rooted and debloated "Stock"-Firmware is provided, but I can't install it, since my Bootloader is too new (V15 instead V14 for the ROM). When it is possible, I will install this firmware. If you are interested, here is the link: https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...3-2022-stock-rom-v2-0-pre-rooted.1000713.html
