Please HELP Cant Unroot!

Used the 1 click method to root the Vibrant, overclocked it, and did the lag fix. Was getting horrible distortion when on calls, using the Vibrant 2.1 Vanilla ROM, so I decided to 1 click unroot. For some reason upadate.zip was not on my SD but on phone HD so the unroot was unsuccessfull. Now Im stuck with the root, recovery mode allows me to select reinstal packages - nothing happens - and I'm back to the same rom/root - once phone reboots. I even put the update.zip back on the sd - but phone is not recognizing it or installing it for some reason. I somehow lost superuser as well. Please help me get back to unroot - if its possible!
Thanks

i'm a noob here too. but this happened to me before (the pc doesnt recgnze the sd card or phone storage. )
just place in one of the drive that PC recognize and then use eStrong or some file manager to copy & paste it... hope this help..
Dropbox is a nice tool too.. figure it out.. it's really useful

I will definitely try that! Thanks. I tried downloading/installing Titanium Backup - as I previously backed up apps - it asked for Busy Box, which disappeared! I downloaded busy Box - it said my phone was not rooted! WTF! It looks rooted - just like Vanilla ROM - defiantly not like stock, when I bought it. I just hope I didnt mess it up. After i initially "1 click" unrooted - I thought it had worked, I restored phone to factory settings - this might also be causing my predicament! I just cant get passed the , reinstall packages, in the boot menu, like before - phone reboots itself right away, after partially/or not at all installing the update.zip from SD!
I think I may need a manual way of getting unrooted/ back to stock!
Please help! Phone works fine otherwise - just looks like the Vanila Rom and root, without any of the benefits!

boot into download mode and flash back to stock using ODIN if you look around you should be able to find some tutorials for it. You'll need to have the android SDK and samsung's drivers installed on your PC though

OK, thanks - sounds like I have to reroot my Vibrant, since it has a lot of the root stuff missing afyter I accidently reset to factory settings while rooted! After I root Ill just have to unroot, right!
Ill look for tutorials, thanks!

[Q] is there a offical lollipop for d802

if so how can i update ? is there a ota update ?
please help,
thank you

Hi,
Yes there is an official Lollipop for the D802.
However, before I tell you how to get it, I gotta warn you: It could be working good, or it could be driving you crazy because it's possibly filled with bugs.
Also, the update COULD mess up your phone, meaning you'll have to reflash it using the TOT method. This is however something to worry about if it goes wrong.
Firstly, you need a Windows PC for this, if you've got a Mac with only OS X it will not work!
1. Now, to update I'd recommend you first back-up ALL of your files on the internal storage to your pc (pictures, music, video, etc, WhatsApp files, etc.)
2. If you've got that, go ahead and download & install the LG PC Suite.
3. Run it and connect your phone, select the PC Suite mode. Now it could be that it has to install some drivers so just be patient, shouldn't be taking that long in most cases.
4. If it's all connected, it should remind you that there's an update, the PC Suite should navigate you through the update. If it asks you to make a back-up (this isn't the same back-up as you made before), do it, there's nothing worse than losing everything!
5. Now if the back-up has been made you can go ahead and let it update.
6. Ur done! You should probably check if your files are still on the internal storage, if not, you should just copy them back to it.
Keep me updated if something goes wrong and I'll help you out.
Good luck!

For my experience, I have a D802 too
I was on CM12.1 so I flashed to stock with the method found here (LG flashtool) so I was on 4.2.2
After that with the LG pc suite I updated a first time to 4.4.2
and directly after still with Lg pc suite I update to 5.0.2
No error for the moment, it's very stable and bug-less.

thanks for your help,
i got two devices, one is a european one and the other is a israeli one,
does the method above should work on both ?

Unfortunately, I can not tell you. I've only got the D802, maybe you could do a little bit of research first.
Haven't really got the time to do that right now

Sorry for the late response, I've been busy this week.
Unfortunately, no. I do not have a video for you.
I would've made one if my phone needed a reflash, but it's working fine now and I'd like to keep it that way. Sorry

Like I said, it's best if you do that.
Even if you are a 100% sure that it won't delete anything, you never know what might go wrong in the process!

Never Before Seen or Discussed Soft Brick.

Let me start by saying im a noob well today i decided to root my Tmobile LG G2 running Lollipop 5.0.2 I searched many threads as im not advanced and i found kingroot. Used it version 4.80 and successfully rooted my phone. Then i tried superSU or what ever its called.. Did not work with king root.. So i did some research and came across Super Sume! I paid 3.99 i rebooted my phone and tried it out and it stuck on processing, did not do anything. So i forceclosed i rebooted again uninstalled it and ran it again. And again nothing. Waited half hour nothing. The loading bar would not move.. So i uninstalled the paid one and downloaded an earlier version of super sume. I think its 6.7 instead. I tried it and it installed super su on my device but would again not work. It also deleted king root files from the phone.. Since super su did not work i rebooted. Stuck on tmobile screen... Held the power button turned off the phone. Booted in recovery mode. Did a factory reset and am now stuck in the set up screen. Asks for the language i choose english then has me connect to wifi but when i go to type in the password no keyboard appears ive tried everything i turned in lanscape n tried it and keyboard will not launch so i cant type so I'm stuck. Even if i went to a no password wifi i would still be stuck in the type your name screen. Cause again NO KEYBOARD. What can i do ?? i will donate atleast 5$ if i can get help.

I am downloading a kdz from here at anothwr thread for my tmobile d80130c what flashtool settings do i need to use cdma or gsm and what do i need to input in the other fields on the flash tool. And what folder do i put the kdz file in for flashtool to have access to it.

I already have d80130c on my phone so should i be using that or do i have to use d80130h like u suggested? And should i do a normal flash or a cse flash? Sorry for all the noobie questions

Hey i cant sell it because it has the screen jitters it turns out Nd theres a million threads about it with no fix. Do u know of any fix for that so i can sell this phone i will donate when i sell it. Used to be my moms phone shes like "sell it nobody has to know it has issues it only does it at random" im like "mom, i cant just **** somebody over like that this shyts annoying" i know ppl will buy it if i dont tell em but i dont have it in my heart to do so ive had ppl texting me to buy it until i told em about the issue. I wanted 120 for it now ill take 60 lol.

i have a solution
Here i have a perfect sol.
1)One word--"nandroid backup".yes download a nandroid backup of anyone with same phone as u are having.
2)put it in external sd in a folder naming "clockwardmod"
3)flash cwm or twrp. I have not used twrp,so i prefer cwm as i know more about it.
4)click "backup/restore"
5)now choose restore.
6)now wait and watch.
7)enjoy
8)xda is a helping website so no need of donation

Yeah i finally learned all that and more. I was just comong into the phone game. But its an old post i still have 2 lg g3 and a lg g2. Yeah i know but i like to stick to my words and if i would of sold it i woulda paid em i feel its the right thing to do. Now im mostly into hacking and cracking and thats why im barely here but this site has been great i never bricked once because of this site i had close calls but was able to unbrick. My favorite method of rooting the g3 is the one click script method it works flawlessly.. Im using prime gsm on one phone and stock lollipop on the other. My g2 has the screen jitters. Cant type the letter h in the keyboard cant draw straight lines, scrolls like crazy and cant detect touch on the dead center of the screen so i cant sell it. I use twrp n supersu. Twrp is more user friendly and supports otg so i just flash from my usb drives and keep my phone memory open i have the 32gb versions and i always have more than enough memory on em.. Thanx for the feed back tho i appreciate it bud

Huge problem, need urgent help !

Hi,
I was about to install a custom rom on my LG L5 E615 when i thought of something stupid, which was "how about i do everything that one does before installing a custom ROM except i don't install it"
So, i opened CWM and wiped everything that needs to be wiped(data/devkin,etc), then i clicked on reboot, here the recovery made me realise my mistake and told me "You didn't install a ROM but are about to reboot the android, the phone might install stock recovery over CWM"(these aren't the exact words but this is what it meant). Realising this, i click on "Go Back" thinking once the ROM is downloaded, i'll put it into the SD and flash that and then i'll reboot.
But on clicking "Go back" the phone rebooted
Now, i can't seem to open CWM and the phone is stuck in a loop, "once it reaches the LG logo(the logo does its shining thing 4 times), then the phone restarts" saying the phone is going to shut down due to high temperature, but the phone is perfectly cool.
What should i do ? How should i now install the custom ROM, or i'll have to install stock again ?
I don't care wht i have to do, Please help me get my phone started, as of right now i'm without a phone :/
Thanks
Harry

If you can go into the recovery then just install everything as normal. If not, try using something like the program LG provides for updating the stock ROM, it's perfect if you can't do anything with the phone.

I don't, sorry, I'm not a developer myself. One of the many that are around here may know if any program like that does exist.

is there a tool like the AIO -ToolKit to just override everything for the 610? even if the drivers do not install properly?

J5 Bootloop After Trying to Update Xposed

So, as the title says, i found this video on how to get Xposed on my J500-H(Link below for reference). After I got it, I installed a few plugins, everything was fine. After exploring the app for a while i noticed there was an update, so clicked it and told me to reboot, fine. after rebooting the android boot logo pops up and half of the Samsung boot tune plays."Huh, that's funny" I say. I sit there, and sit there, and sit the- its been 20 mins. So I go onto XDA and see of there is a solution. I have tried mostly all of them and nothing has worked. I tried deleting the file in data, but it wasn't there. I go and read I can go into safe mode and uninstall it, I couldn't find out how because it requires you to be actually on the phone. I try a few terminal codes, that didn't work. And i finally do a factory reset,nope. So i kind of don't know what to do, right now my phone is a brick that gets very hot. If you have any suggestions, PLEASE, let me know. Thank you in advance, :crying: . Also my phone is running Android lollipop 5.1.1 stock touchwiz.
Link: i am not allowed to post it because i am new, so put this into youtube, "HOW TO install xposed on samsung lollipop 5.1.1" it should be the first one.

Your system is somehow corrupted by the xposed. You probably have your OEM unlock on, so you can easily flash stock ROM with odin. It will resolve the bootloop.

Did you install the right xposed version by wanam?
if no, reflash with odin
