This is nothing more than the latest beta (5/31/13) which is rooted, deodexed, zipaligned, with an insecure boot.img. The purpose of posting is to provide those who want to start modding/theming a base on which to do so.

Great.
Let the ROM cooking begin.
We need good ROM based of stock firmware with bloatware removed and lightened up
Hey man, this doesn't seem to be rooted properly. When I finished installing, TWRP said it wasn't rooted and prompted me to install SuperSU. I prefer Koush's Superuser and I flashed a zip I had from that, but, you may want to look into why I got that. I'm assuming you used Koush's because there were no other SU apps on my phone, or maybe you forgot to add in root.

I posted on the oppo forums. Superuser is added. Not sure why it's not working. I, too, got the su not properly installed in twrp, but I chose not to fix and all was well. I am using Chainfire's SuperSU...maybe that is the culprit. I will see what I can find.

Well, I didn't do a full wipe and I already had Koush's Superuser installed. So, I think that's why it didn't work for me.

That is a new feature of TWRP...it prompts to fix superuser as a precaution... just dismiss it.

Yeah I know that. My post wasn't about twrp, but about the fact that I didn't have root after flashing. I wasn't the only one that had the problem.
Sent from my X909 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I guess I misread your post....just out of curiosity did you bypass the the prompt in twrp? And if so did you try a root app before flashing your root package? I noticed on the last build supersu wasn't in my app drawer until a reboot for some reason..although it was in system/app and did prompt for priveledges

No I didn't bypass it. I just chose ignore because I thought it was wrong. But when it rebooted Koush's superuser app wouldn't work and I couldn't update the binaries, so I had to manually boot into recovery and flash a superuser package I have on my sdcard. I didn't do a fresh install, I just wiped cache and dalvik. So Superuser was still on my phone, but wouldn't work.

Hi all,
Issue with TWRP and restore. I've got a backup, but when I tried to restore it, it would crash and reboot while restoring the /data partition. I try wiping the /data partition (I have my backup on a server, too) and it crashes midway through that, too. Just reboots and returns to TWRP.
What should I do?
Thanks,
Ben

This issue is mentioned over in the official TWRP forum under "Original Android Development" The Dev acknowledged it, saying he needs to fiddle with it... Might not be bad if you poked your head in there with any other information you could add...
*fingers crossed* Hope they get it patched up soon... I'm a little restore shy now. Up until I encountered this, I was swapping ROMs on a nearly daily basis... No anymore.
I started over again, like you, and it works ok now. But I don't know when/if the problem will rear its ugly head again, so holding off until I hear more.

I'm having the same problem with 2.5.5.0. Happens probably 30% of the time and always during the data restore. It completes on the second go-round, but I'm constantly holding my breath. I was under the impression that this was taken care of in this latest version.

No, I tried with RomToolbox, same method as with the N10. I choose 2.3.3 0 from the list, so I assume it was the Holiday version. The first time I tried, it claimed I didn't have permission, but I think that was because it was the first time I was using Rom toolbox since flashing CM so the permission popup came after the fact. I rebooted and that was when the message changed to invalid instruction.
Edit: Tried again with 2.4.1.0. Same result. But I located the files and they are holiday, so I can just flash with fastboot, I guess.

What I do seem to have a problem with is Supersu. I previously had the 16Gb and to get rid of the unlock icon, you removed superuser and installed supersu. Supersu looks to not be working as my rooted apps wont run w/ supersu installed and superuser gone.
Odd - im sure i'll figure it out eventually, but parking it here in case someone ran into the same thing.

Open SuperSU, go to Settings, and hit Reinstall. Reinstall from the Play Store. Make sure Superuser is frozen or uninstalled. That might work. Also, you need to reboot at least once after, but some people are claiming they had to reboot a few times before the custom status went away.
i rooted my 32GB version earlier today and had to reboot twice before the lock disappeared.

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but I was unable to find anything searching for it.
I ended up getting stuck on the Sprint screen loading up trying to do the hotspot mod so I decided just to reflash back to stock and reupdate to MF9. This morning before running to work, I used the CF root (which is how I rooted the first time with no problems) and when I got to work I realized that SuperSU doesnt show up in my app drawer. But it does show up under manage applications. When I try running an app checker tool it just hangs and I have to force close it.
Any idea on how to get this fixed? Would just re-running the CF root when I get home help it?
Thanks in advance!

I want to get a list of root methods people have tried and which ones have been successful.
Kingo Root seems to be the most discussed method, but various reports have raised questions about whether it steals data. Looks as though the official policy on XDA is that it's in limbo until deemed safe:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47111019&postcount=65
Someone else suggested OneClickRoot.com:
http://www.oneclickroot.com/phone/lg-g-pad-8-3/
This method is widely used and from my research, considered safe by most people, but I don't know if anybody has used it successfully on a G Pad.
Please report in this thread what method you've tried and what worked.

I used the same method and also replaced Superuser with Supersu. And I installed Busybox from Google Play. The script works great! I would recommend that everbody who has not yet rooted use this method and not Kingo.

I think the two apps are pretty similar. I read reviews that said that SuperSU was better for later versions of Android and Superuser was better for older versions. I've been using SuperSU on my phone for a while, so I'm more familiar with it. Probably doesn't matter much which one you use.
As far as switching the apps, just uninstall Superuser and install SuperSU.

You can use SuperSU and there's nothing wrong with that but there's also nothing wrong with Superuser.
It works fine for new versions of Android, in fact it is what is built into CM11.
I think people are confusing the Superuser I included with the old Superuser made by ChainsDD. I included Superuser by Koush/Clockwork Mod because it is open source and used by CyanogenMod.
When it comes to an app that is so important to maintaining security then I stick with open source.

Use root explorer or the equivalent, go into /data/app and locate eu.chainfire.supersu.apk and if you have the pro version, locate eu.chainfire.supersu.pro.apk (there may be a "-<number>" before the ".apk) and tap on them and you should get asked if you want to install or view. Install each.
That should fix the problem.

Your best bet is to install safestrap and flash a supersu package. Then uninstall ss if u want. Towel root is a temporary fix imo.
Check your /data/data folder and /data/app (/system/app if you've converted) and check for duplicates or what number beside package name (e.g. com.xxx.xxxx-1 or -2 and sometimes even 3 and 4. Rename it to have a -1 and then go to /data/dalvik-cache and find the same package(s), delete them and reboot. If still unsuccessful, reflash from safestrap but manually mount system b4 flashing just for the hell of it and after second boot-up (if required), you should be good. Erase any .txt or the like from sdcard and extsdcard volumes from chainfire or supersu too I almost forgot to add
Got it to finally update binaries....upgrade your SU to Beta version 2.13. Works like a charm and snappier!
Just want to say thank you to everyone who replied with great suggestions, unfortunately none of them worked. I did however stumble on a fix. I downloaded mobogenie , and when it went out to look for app updates, it had an update for superSU that the play store did not show me. I ran the updates and now we're good.
Hope this fix might help others who are stuck in the same boat.

Thanks for the tip. Technology is complicated, it is weird how a random app like that will fix something.
My superSU actually works now, one day it just asked to update and it actually worked! I think that was after another fresh factory restore and towelroot.
Anyway, good luck!
Play store has a version that works fine now. Version 2.16
