Hi,
I'm using the international version of LG G2 D802, bought in Bulgaria. So my question, is it possible to remove that message which shows you are or you've been rooted before by flashing stock firmware. And if it is can you show me a video/text tutorial how to do it? Thanks.
Sorry, but currently there is no way to remove the red ROOTED in download mode.
I am confused on what this means then. I have not done anything to my phone except enable developer options and in download mode my phone shows rooted. Why would this happen?

I can only think of three reasons: Now there may be others I can not think of at this time....
1: You rooted the phone.
2: You received the phone rooted.
3. My favorite, The immaculate rooting.
Truly I can not think of another way but I have been known to be wrong before.
flash back to stock firmware and u r clean

I cannot flash back to stock. I am on stock. I have not rooteed this phone. I have only had this phone for 6 days. I would clearly remember if I rooted it. Unless running LG's PC Suite software or LG's LGMobile support Tool can root it then I am guilty of that but that is all I have done.

Just checked with TMO and while on the phone with them I went into download mode again and today it said Unrooted. TMO said LG was updating it's services and that is why it showed me rooted. Of course I didn't talk to anyone technical.
Last night the Code was B41 Rooted today is B99 Unrooted.
anyone have clues to what the codes are?
Still "Rooted"
I have sucessfully used the normal unrooting method in my D805, by flashing back to stock with Lg Flash Tool. I lost rooting permission under android and the system allowed OTA updates (with was denied when rooted). However, in download mode it still shows the device as "rooted". Any thoughts on how to delete it?
Why don't you try to unroot it using something to flash if there is and then flaah back to stock. I mean use something like unroot.zip or similar to first unroot and after that go back to stock.

Any luck?
So... anyone managed to properly change the red "rooted" on the Download Mode to "unrooted"?
The only reason holding me back from rooting and flashing custom roms on my international G2 is this problem.
As much as I love rooting all my Android devices, I'll still prefer to have a recovery solution in case I need my warranty to get some minor hardware issues fixed.
If anyone managed to overcome the root checker please do reply my message with your solutions (and some "before and after" screens if possible). Many thanks!

All you have to do is perform a factory reset (While powered off, hold PWR+VOL.Down key until you can factory reset. After that, the phone should show up as unrooted.

Thats your battery level
red rooted still showing
hy, i have the intl. version of the g2 and rooted the phone on the 4.2.2
after 1 day i have reverted to stock, following the thread on xda - there are more others on web, but have the same structure/basics
problem is that in download mode it shows ROOTED in red, although i have reverted to stock 4-5 times and with different stock roms (eur/asian/etc) but nothing new - the red rooted is still there in download mode - the phone is not rooted anymore
i have tried to hard reset but no change!
if any had this issue and resolved in some way - please respond
btw - i have updated to kitkat in march - the red rooted is still there
i have reverted the kitkat to stock 4.2.2 but no success - red rooted still present
i'm worried if my phone needs to be sent to warranty - it will be rejected and then i will brick my brain

sorry but no luck for me and others.
the red rooted status is still there.
UPDATE: after i flash the official rom for my g2 (4.2.2 or 4.4.2) the status is showed as UNROOTED, but if i need to do a factory reset then the status show ROOTED with red for the rest of the time and nomatter how many times i reset to factory!
conclusion - the red ROOTED status appears only (and remains there all the time) after the first factory reset!
if someone can help with this we (already a community) are wery greatfull
for now the problem has no valid solution!

You have to find out where your device came from and download the ORIGINAL Image file that came with it.
follow this guide to download it , after that you need to flash the KDZ file and that should get rid of the Rooted in download mode
I attached a text file with all the links
Let me know
U can unroot uor phone in download mode. First u need to root phone, then install root explorer. Copy this files in presist folder an gave im promisisons. Reboot uor phone, and go in doewnload mode. NO ROOTED enymore.

Hey guys so I am facing weird problems. I have searched through the forums either I cant find anything or I am too scared to do any more experiments I really dont want to loose my Razr M XT 907.
Problems
Laggy performance at times
Camera gets stuck when I take pictures at times then I have to restart.
when I reboot my phone it shows AP Fast boot screen, then I have to access boot menu and select the second last option (Console something). It always shows Null:Null and when I change it back the phone reboots normally
Phone hangs sometimes and then responds with everthing I have clicked all at once.
The screen on off button responds a second late
I think you guys can help me better if I tell you what I did to this phone exactly since I got this phone.
What I did
I initially bought this phone with defaul OS 4.0.1 in Pakistan.
I then installed a Verizon system update of 250 MB that got my phone stuck on a boot loop (and made me cry almost)
I restored my phone to the settings it came in using this procedure
http://www.andromods.com/tips-trick/how-to-restore-unroot-droid-razr-m-xt907-stock-original-firmware.html
The phone worked fine for 2 days but then I got that update prompt again and it got annoying so I though maybe If i upgrade it to JB using the same RSD Lite method but a different ROM that may solve it.
So I applied the above Procedure using this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250155
The method showed as Passed on RSD Lite but the phone got stuck on bootloop again so I paniced and tried restoring my phone abck to ICS using the method mention in the first link provided.
Then the phone got stuck on AP Boot Menu
Then I used DROID_RAZR_M_Utility_1.20 and used both methods 1 and two but it didnt work
Then out of the blue I went to the boot menu and I saw an option Switch Console (Null:null) I pressed up key on and null null changed to default:tty something it and the phone booted up just fine back to ICS
Now everytime I power off the phone it goes to AP Boot menu showing FASTBOOT REASON: Sticky bit factory_fastboot and I have to do the above to restart the phone.
What I need
Please help me restore my phone I dont want to brick it, I am a simple user I will need step by step guide
Anyone ?

ok
Could someone please offer some advice, i really am stumped on this one. I have a nexus 4 which is rooted has an unlocked bootloader and is running on the stock version of kitkat. Last week i changed network and as bizarre as it sounds when i got disconnected from three my phone bricked and got stuck on the boot logo.
Since then i went home and got the skipsoft toolkit up and running to essentially put a fresh rom on. Unfortunately no luck, i have gone into the bootloader and recovery,factory/wipe reset -- still no luck it's stuck on the boot logo. Now i realised that adb isn't working only fastboot which has also limited my options. i have tried multiple version of roms/recoverys etc.. they install which confirmed by the change of boot logo but that's it just hangs again.
Is there something else i can try? I would really appreciate some direction on it. Thanks very much in advanced.

What do you mean you changed network? What recovery are you using twrp or cwm hope it's twrp I think you need to search forums for wugfresh tool kit and start fresh which means going back to stock rom, recovery etc.. Wugfresh toolkit is the easiest method for you and even has videos on YouTube for step by step instructions you can't go wrong be patient and pay attention and you will be OK..www.wugfresh.com/youtube

I meant literally that i changed network from three to ee, which i also brought my original number over with it. The day my number transfered to ee my phone bricked and it's been stuck on boot loop since.
I have never used wugfresh before but i followed your instructions and spent sometime with it this morning. It's a very simple piece of software and i must admit i was feeling hopeful it might have fixed my boot-loop issue, but it hasn't. I have done factorywipes/wiped cache, flashed multiple version roms. As far as recovery i had TWRP running on my device, but for some reason i am no longer able to go into it only the bootloader. When i do click on recovery i got the android on its back with the exclamation mark, which obviously gives me the wipe options which i have done.
If there is anything else you can think of i would be greatly appreciative.

I really have no clue what changing network to ee is did you not create a backup if so you could restore it but since you can't once you get in bootloader and scroll to recovery you get dead android use to toolkit I told you and flash stock+unroot option it should work

I am very grateful you taking the time to help me with the boot issue. But i have actually just managed to sort it, finally!
It came down to me changing to an older radio version for 4.4.4., then i installed a 4.3 rom which it worked! I then upgraded to 5.01 and hey presto it's back to normal.
Thanks again nexus root tool-kit is definitely an essential

I've recently found away to fix a Galaxy S5 Active stuck in a boot loop. (This method only works if your device is on lollipop 5.0! )
Note: This method only works on the OC5 update.
More firmware support coming soon.
What happened: I accidentally made my Galaxy S5 Active get stuck in a boot loop. I couldn't find a solution for the longest time because the bootloader is locked. Time passed and I eventually found away to fix the boot loop if your devices is running Lollipop 5.0!
Solution:
1. You should always try to fix the boot loop by booting into recovery mode by holding down the Home+Volume-Up Key+Power button. Once the phone logo pops up on the screen releases the power button only, but continue to hold the Home+Volume-Up Key. If it worked is should say "Booting into recovery." or something along those lines in blue letters.
Once you're into recovery use the volume keys to navigate Up and Down. Find wipedata/factory reset. Select it with the power key and navigate down to Yes. Wait till it finishes. Then see if that fixed the problem. If not proceed to next step
2. Since the boot loader is locked it's really difficult to flash any kind of Recovery, ROM, or Stock Rom unless your phone accepts it as a valid file. So here's what you do!: (Method 1)
Download this file and save it to your desktop: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3UBRFq3BojVQnBSc3lCSzloYUU
Download ODIN v(3.09): http://odindownload.com/Samsung-Odin/#.VgiJ_8tViko - Extract it to your desktop.
Put your phone in download mode. (Note: Before you do this, install the correct drivers for your phone to your computer.)Make sure your phone is completely off and Hold the Home+Volume Down+Power. You will get a warning message just press the volume up key to continue.
Go to desktop and launch ODIN. After ODIN pops up, plug in your device. (Make sure you have the correct phone drivers installed)
You should see a dialog box in ODIN that say 0:[COM6] in blue. Note: It might be different for everyone, just make sure it says COM.
After that, Under "File [Download]" click "AP" Then navigate to the file you downloaded earlier called "boot.tar"
MAKE SURE RE-PARTITION IS UNCHECKED!
Leave everything else alone then click start. Wait till it says PASS! in green letters in ODIN!
(Method 2):
Go to this link download it to your desktop and follow the instructions: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3UBRFq3BojVdXlSUE43VzJPbEU/view?usp=sharing
Done! Your device shouldn't be in a boot loop anymore! If you have any questions let me know!
Note: Once this process is complete, your phone will permanently show a warning in your notifications saying "Unknown action detected." This happens because your phone will detect that your kernel was modified so if you don't want this to happen, then I suggest you wait for a official lollipop OS release.
UPDATE!: You should now be able to download the "Boot.tar" file. Sorry about that!
UPDATE!: New files and instructions added if the first method didn't work!
Having some major issues
First post so forgive me if this is misplaced. Before I was aware I'm unable to down grade from 5.0 or 5.1 version of sm-g870a I attempted to downgrade and apply root from version 4.4.2/4.4.4 via another XDA thread in a faulty attempt to root. At first this presented no issues until restart. At this point the phone is soft bricked and bootloops. Both download mode and system recovery ARE accessible and prior to this I had USB debug open. I have the factory cable and odin identifies the device easily. All other md5 files failed to apply OTHER than one. (4.4.4 ota) I presume because of bootlocks which I'm now aware of. I have attempted three different stock flashes via odin all from XDA all fail at authentication claiming error fused 2 binary 1. I attempted add data pull before all of this and the device ignored a request which prompted a factory reset which was odd. I have attempted installing 3 alternative stock and stock rooted 5.0 and 5.1 firmwares from XDAs threads. All of which failed, hiwever one granted me some precious Information when I slowed down the error message via recording. It states, "Package expects fingerprint of Samsung kltattactive/lteactive:4.4.2/kot49h/g870aucu1ang3:user/release-keys o0A1:user/release-keys this device has kltactive/kltactive. This tells me as far as I know that the device is showing no firmware installed and a double fed file making the attempting installation incompatible. At this point I want to start anew, I have how attempted every route accessible via XDA and feel my options are running very low other than attempting to randomly apply firmware in sequence until odin accepts one and it sticks. That sound like a brick plan however. I don't care what firmware is loaded as long as an OS is accessible. I think this is all available Information I apologize for typos I have been at this for a total of 20 hrs straight. This bootloop was a tired lapse in judgement and has cost me 5 hours of trial and error. Wiping cache fails, reformatting internally fails, as far as I know root was never successful and I THINK philz was successful installed although at this point I cannot recall. Thanks for reading and in advance for any available help. I have SOME c# experience and some java script which is zebra vs dolphin situation I only mention as to aide and explain my trainers of thought. All other languages are vague at best
Edit: I stopped bootloop with the file attached to this thread. It now boots into samsung display bht will not go further and stops there as though it still has no operating system.

Alright this stopped the looping now, to find a proper rom. I believe. Im going tohave to wait for 5.1 in order for it to be successful, however is having 4.4.2 still on it is a bit worrisome, I predict overwriting it should be fine though. Thank you for giving me a way to at least resolve bootlooping. I believe I shoulda have safestrapped the device, but hindsight is always 20/20 eh?

I'm glad you got past your Bootloop! If you need anymore help let me know.
Is there a way to root my galaxy s5 active [G870A] on att with 5.0? I'm getting conflicting info and not finding the root.tar I need to flash in order to roll back to 4.4.2 so I can root. Right now I'm just trying to get root. Thanks for any help or direction.
S5 Active
I'd say hold off for a while I did that exact 5 Hong with the s5 active and it bootlocks it. You need to, if you're going to do this install and use safestrap to di so and BACK UP EVERYTHING with safe strap to SD. As long as you follow those method you SHOULD be able to even soft brick it and come back from it.

I haven't found any successful way to to go back to Kit Kat or 4.4.2 for this phone. In fact that's why this thread exist is because people who have tried to flash back to 4.4.2 have failed and got stuck in a Bootloop. So if you plan on trying to find away make sure you back everything up and if you fail you can use this tutorial to get your phone working again.
Make sure you have "USB Debugging" on
Make sure you have the drivers for your phone installed on your PC before you start the process of looking for a root.
Yeah I tried flashing back to 4.4.2 and it was a no go . I had the stuck on 5.0 issue where download mode says "downloading do not turn off ...... " but after I wiped my phone I was able to update to 5.1.1 successfully without any "download interrupted "errors . So at least I'm not stuck on 5.0 now lol

There should not be anything attempting to download when you boot into ''download mode'' if there is, its highly likely there are still particulates of the last bad flash. I would as he said above, enable USB debugging and the like, and install safe strap to be safe. After safe strap is done and youve followed the tutorial which you can find in another thread on this site, boot your phone down and then power it back on, safe strap should come up first, when it does so push the ''recovery'' option to enter safe strap( someone correct me if thats wrong, my phone is currently dead/charging so i cant check) From there you can back up to an SD card, make sure you enable compression when you do.
Once thats done, WIPE YOUR PHONE, and Cache,( maybe dalvik as well if you cant find it dont worry.)and its all on SD CARD, then attempt to dirty flash( I dont recommend), or clean flash your device WITH safe strap. This typically entails downloading a .zip file and opening it THROUGH safestrap, which is done the same way as backing up your data, only via another option in the menu. Simply put; Back up data with safe strap, after thats done push back and choose FLASH, it should show you all available items it can flash from/to, pick and pray. I didnt go this route when I tried, I attempted to brute force the Bootlocked S5A, and it caused some errors that I now have reversed after much pain. If I HAD safe strapped, It may have went smoother for me, and may for you. Safestrap for us Samsung users is the same as Clockwork Mod for the rest if you weren't aware.
I'll edit this when my phone charges and I can walk you through appropriately, if need be MSG me and Ill do it as soon as I receive the message via this thread if I have not already.
hi guys! good day! i have tried the new method twice! and odin fails everytime! the problem is with the modem.bin! is there any way to fix this?
Make sure you're running lollipop and not Kit Kat and make sure you have the correct phone model. If you don't meet both those requirements then it won't work.
it has on lollipop recoverymode comes up with LRX21T.G870AUCU1B0C5. ISNT that lollipop? download mode also says ;A2, P1

Yeah that information is correct. You might want to download the latest version of ODIN and try again. (Make sure you're putting the modem.bin file in the correct spot in Odin.)
I think I have the latest odin.. And modem can only fit in the cp field I think. Its just not working for me. I tried doing each part separately. And the modem flash always fail.

Hey irontac. Since you came up with this fix. Are you able to tell me why those s5 go into bootloop like that? By the way mine is not in bootloop. It hangs on the AT&T logo (the glob) . I was thinking maybe I need to flash the system.img , but where can I find that. And how can I flash it by itself? Actually the phone belongs to a friend. He seems to have rooted it. But I don't know what else he messed with.

You might want to boot into recovery mode and try to factory reset it normally. If his phone is rooted you could also flash a custom rom to it and get it out of Bootloop.
I also forgot to mention you can't get ahold of the system.img because it's not released to the public.
Yeah. I wanted it back to stock. I downloaded the 5.0 cfg file. Opened it up and I realized that there is no system.img in there. Oh Well. You think it would boot if I used kitKat system.img?

If you flash the Kit Kat system.img you might have to downgrade the kernel also. I would give it a try and see if it works.

Friend, say please:
1. You phone ROOTed?
2. Recovery you phone stock or custom?
3. You phone S-ON or S-OFF ?
4. Bootloader you phone LOCKED?
Unroot your phone, flash back to stock recovery, relock it, change CID if possible, reflash stock android rom.
Follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-...allow-t3480444

Please forgive my English, too, but that's not the point, is not it?

I think it is something to do with mobicore.
New update has some New additional security.
Somewhere in system/app/mcregistry.
But sorry I don't have the solution.
If you guys can find out.
I think there is something wrong with the HTC update file itself. I took my mobile to the local authorized workshop and they tried several times but also without any luck. One of their brilliant staff said it might be the board!!.
That is also what i think. Htc update file itself have an issues or broken that need to be checked and re-compile.
Any update???

I have the same problem, after trying to update, i lost dialer and people app both close unexpectantly. After that i factory restarted, but still have the problem.
Did you ever find a fix?
Is there any solution for that issue please guys we need help here ... Its been long time and theres no update
Any update for this issue?
Hey guys, thought I would make a discussion thread about the new update today for the Sprint S5's. Looks like todays update was just over 200 MB. I don't know if it affects the latest chainfire root yet or not.
But yeah, make your stock S5 search for a update and you should find one waiting.
I've noticed:
The Android Security Patch Level is now December 1, 2016
Software version is now G900PVPU3CPL2
Do we know how long Samsung will continue to update our phone OTA? I appreciate that we still have support. It's not so bad being 1 month behind in security updates since even with security updates we are still vulnerable to 0-day exploits anyway.
Does anyone have a copy or link to this update? I want to see if it helps with signal on nougat based roms.
Thanks in advance

The best way to actually try and get this is through Kies or SmartSwitch apps. Sam Mobile does not have this, and it would be, about another month from now, till they even have it... Been there too many times looking for this so call update.
I know that is does state 01dec2016 security update. I also know, that Knox is added to (at least, all Knox is added data (Kbs, not Mbs) I also believe, they (Samsung, tech side phone updates) have added more apps for Knox. However, we don't have anything that is related to these new updates. heck 2 of them, state they have DATA. Through the stock app manager, you have an option, to erase this, because it is not installed....
not sure if this helps you find what you are looking for. ...
( me 2cents on this),... Why extra apps and data../. Why do we have to download a complete new Stock Rom, when we already were stock anyway ???) (Me dog did a real number on the phone. had to be a good eBay and Amazon shopper... Completely rebuild my S5.
Wondering if the S5 will be having A real update, such as 7.1... ??? !!!) we S5, was not on or in the press release early this month, regard the Samsung, Android updates... 7.0, 7.1 NOUGAT !!!
I certainly believe that they will in time update the S5 to 71 Nougat
This may just be a hunch but I have a feeling that if the Note 8's don't blow peoples faces off that the S5 probably won't be seeing Nougat officially (from Sammy).
Well there's a new update today for me anyways. This one is just over 27 MB's. 2 new updates in one month!
The new software version is called G900PVPS3CQA2
New antutu score updated.
It's very unlikely that S5 will receive an official N OTA from any carrier(or any msm8974, for that matter) as Qualcomm had planned 'no official support' for msm8974 past M. It was already very late in the cycle for M, and may not have made it onto the list for M had the msm8994 sucked less.
Does anybody know if we are still able to root our phone model with this new update?

I don't know for sure myself, as I have not gotten the update bring on aftermarket firmware. But I would imagine if you flash twrp and apply the latest supersu, it should work. I know that's how I did it with the cpk1 update.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong. I don't want anyone bricking their device based on what I've said.

Yes.. I did
I ran into some issues and factory reset, deleted my Internal Storage, and then ODined PK1 Stock onto my Sprint S5. I then got a prompt that G900PVPU3CPL2 update was available. After the phone restarted I was then prompted to update to G900PVPS3CQA2 After that one installed and restarted.. I successfully rooted using CFAutoroot and then put the latest TWRP Recovery on.
Now.. what screwed me up is me trying to put a 7.1.1 Rom on (LOS and even Resurrection Remix). Phone froze and would not allow me to enter any info in or select Wifi. When it did.. I had ZERO signal/data. I then re-odined.. PK1.. without the updates, rooted, and Twrped, then flashed the 7.1.1 (LOS and RR) with no problems. Made back-ups of both (within TWRP) and was able to Restore all three at will. I am currently back on the STOCK/ROOTED w/all updates including the QA2.. as I didn't feel like doing the customization of the 7.1.1. Roms with the game (SuperBowl) getting ready to come on.
Personally I like the Stock- Rooted -Updated- Twrp config as the only thing that bothers me is the heading theme being that Samsung Aqua blue. If I could theme it.. I might stay with it

Thank you for the info!! This is what I wanted to hear!! Someone who had the newest update and then went into detail of what they encountered. Thank you again!! Much appreciated!!
You can always see the latest official stuff for our phones here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900P/SPR/
The only way we'll ever see Nougat on the S5 is via rom ports, or CM14/CM14.1 Official, which is supporting the S5.

No problem. After using the STOCK/ROOTED MM version with all the updates , I have decided that I really am just gonna stay on it. It is smooth, fast, and has all the things I need. I killed Bloatware so outside of the pull-down bar being aqua blue.. and background being white I'm very content.
Anyone know of an app for rooted phones that will allow me to rectify those things?

@cmicasa the Great, I keep getting a failed when using Odin, CFAutoroot, KingoRoot, KingRoot, and even when I try to use TWRP. I also read somewhere that I would have to unlock the Bootloader in order for this to work? Do you mind sending me a message in PM about how you did your rooting? If you don't mind sir.

This is everything I did including putting PK1 on my phone, letting it then upgrade to G900PVPU3CPL2 and then update to G900PVPS3CQA2 After that one installed and restarted.. I proceeded to Root and put custom recovery on. Because U will not get the OTA updates once U root
Here are my steps Len:
1) First make sure U have the ODIN 3.10 or above> Links are here SamsungOdin or here Odin Download
2) Then go into Download Mode by pressing the "Volume down +home and then Power buttons" Once device boots hit the volume up button and Android dude should appear
3) open ODIN (I used 3.10) and plug phone to computer.
Load the PK1 tar in the PDA Slot, put your phone in Download Mode (power off, hold Vol Down, Home, and Power), and connect your phone to the PC. (I checked F.Reset and Auto Reboot)
Then after that is successful run CF Auto Root or whatever root injector you have in the PDA slot again. Once that finishes (wait until Odin tells you it was a Success before doing anything), get ROM Toolbox or something of that nature and remove any app with Knox in the title or that has the Knox symbol.
Load your phone into Download Mode one last time and then put whatever recovery you have (I use TWRP, make sure you grab the .tar format instead of the zip) and put that in the Bootloader slot in Odin. Then you're good to go, rooted and custom recovery, sky's the limit.

So just to clear, there is no need to unlock the Bootloader? Also, if my phone has a password, does it need to be disabled? I.e. lock security feature such as creating a pattern in order to unlock the device to use.
