My phone just updated this morning, I don't know what version I was on before, but now my root is gone.
I used Odin to put L720VPUAMDC_L720SPTAMDC_L720VPUAMDC_HOME.tar on my phone the last time I rooted.
But now I am worried that something has changed, and if I use that to put it back on my phone, and regain the root; something will go wrong and bam, brick.
Any assistance would be great.
This is the about info
Software Version L720VPUAMDL
Hardware 720.08
Model SPH-L720
Android V 4.2.
Baseban Versiion L720VPUAMDL
Kernal Version

hey,
I got HTC mytouch 4g a week ago. and I am familiar with some of the terms and whats going on.
Firstly, this is my software information on my phone currently:
Android version: 2.2.1
baseband version: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
kernal version: 2.6.32.21-g899d047
[email protected] #1
tues oct 26
build number: 1.17.531.2 CL277036
software number: 1.17.531.2
I have read that there is some OTA update that is applied to htc mytouch 4g and that I need do something about that prior to rooting. Am I suppose to do that then? and is the version of visionary 11 good and "safe" rather than latest versions?
Is there anything else I should read and learn before I tackle rooting? If so, can you please provide the link or let me know what to search exactly. I have checked out the wiki, but I don't really know what I am exactly looking for or should be looking for :S.
thanks!
Hello!
I'm on my 3rd Android device and I've previously used Cyanogenmod just because it offers the Privacy Guard feature.
However, I didn't realize that this wonderful new-to-me AT& T Galaxy S 4 is substantially more complex when it comes to installing something such as CM. While I'm familiar with using a tool such as heimdall to install a custom recovery, such as TWRP, I haven't previously had to root before.
In going through the FAQ, it states that I should install Safestrap, but the page it links to doesn't include a version for NC1. In searching through the forums, I see that there are other root options, such as Towelroot, but, even if Towelroot works, I have no idea what to do after rooting with Towelroot.
So what I am hoping is that someone can kindly just map out the steps for me to get where I want, which is to have a Privacy Guard type feature on my phone, be it through CM or another ROM. And what I mean by 'map out' is that it isn't necessary to explain every detail of every procedure, just generally list what needs to be done and I can usually figure out the rest.
The phone is currently 'locked' to AT&T and here are the device details:

Hello,
I have a Verizon SM-G900V,
Version: 4.4.4
baseband: G900VVRU1ANK7
Kernel Version: 3.4.0 [email protected] #1
Build number: KTU84P.G900VVRU1ANK7
Hardware: G900V.05
And I had my phone rooted but the updates kept popping up and I wasn't sure how to disable them. I have platinum backup but I just read about "Freeze" option. Unfortunately, I can't use it anymore because I don't have root access. I think my phone partially updated, for the 5.0. It did restart and optimize some settings but I can't use the playstore anymore, and I don't have any SuperSu.
I'm not sure if I should just go ahead and update it since I don't have any other option to use the play store, or is it possible if i can just re-root it based on the 4.4.4?
This was my 1st time rooting it, I used to have an iPhone so I tried to supply as much info as I could.
Thanks!
I looked but didn't find answer? Device: Samsung SM-G900V, I flashed the G900V_OA8_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM Via safe strap. Android version 5.0 ,build # LRX21t.G900VVRU1B0a8, Kernel version 3.4.0 [email protected] #1 Tue Jan 27 14:17:05 KST 2015
I'm getting update notifications for enhanced content? I assume I will lose root if I allow? I have disabled auto update in TiBk
Can someone tell me if I am able to accept the download w/o losing root. Thank you.

The update has been confirmed to keep root, but if you wan't to be 100% sure you'll keep root there is a thread in the general section about updating to OC4 and keeping root. It has a ROM just like the one you're using except it's OC4.
Hi, a friend has a Galaxy S5 (MetroPCS) he wanted me to unlock. He works at a hotel and any items found in rooms go to their "Lost and found" thing for a 60 day period. This was found and never claimed, so he wants to use it as his own. I've looked through it a bit and it appears it was used by a former drug dealer around town. Huzzah. Anyway.
It appears to already be rooted and has TWRP already installed, though still uses the stock ROM.
My questions are- How would I go about doing a fresh install on it? Also, is there a free way to unlock them or do I have to go through one of those unlock websites?
Here are the specs

Edit: I found this site, http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-G900T1
I see there's a newer version with 5.1.1. Would I be able to flash that without any major issues instead of the one already on it?

Upgrade it using Smart Switch.
Just an update- I successfully used SmartSwitch to upgrade the phone, kudos for that.
Also ended up going through cellunlocker.net to unlock it. They even sent an unfreeze code with it.
