Hello new member here. I'm wondering, can I perform a factory reset on my towel rooted VZW Note 3, and keep root? Also will this soft brick my phone?
Thanks!

Personally, I would not. You may risk getting brick. Why do you want to reset your phone?

I'm having troubles with my ext sd RW permissions. This was after I attempted to install safestrap. But safestrap did not install correctly I don't think and it caused my phone to have random restarts.

If you have twrp installed I would try to flash a new rom or a stock Rom for your phone. That should fix the problem. You can always backup your apps and data with titanium backup. And make sure you back up your contacts. Also just make a backup in twrp of it current rom. Just to be sure

From everything I have found you cannot put cwrp/twrp on a verizon note 3. Do you have a link to a forum that u haven't seen?

Hi.
Guys. I need help. I tried changing font on my rooted Nexus. I used font installer from Play Store. After installation the app asked me to reboot the device. Now the phone is stuck on boot screen. I tried going in to recovery and wiping all the data. It did not help.
Can anyone in this community help me?

fastboot flash a recovery, and you could load a custom rom. twrp recovery has an option to push files to your phone with adb. you can push a rom to your phone then flash it in your recovery. or you can flash the stock image via fastboot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183555

Thanx Bro. My nexus is up and running now..

Today I tried fastboot and flash 4.3 stock rom on my nexus 4, root and stock rom.
For some reason the zip on "sdcard" is failing (error 7 code strange as it was full stock) letting me a stuck google boot.
I tried to wipe cache without success.
I am sure the solution is somewhere here as already said in that topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183555
But what line should I follow first? Ideally I would like to flash 4.3 or 4.2.2 without factory reset.
Any advice?
Is your boot loader unlocked?? If yes you won't loose any data if you follow the above procedure.. But if not, I think the chances of saving data are low. You can install 4.3 directly if you have the files. I updated mine yesterday using the same method.. I was on slimbeam..

Yes I am unlocked/rooted. The thing is 4.3 install fails either from sdcard or doing a sideload. I will try 4.2.2 but I am starting to worry a bit...

If you are unlocked, try this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
Download 4.3 factory image from here https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/takju-jwr66v-factory-c2ef855e.tgz.
Hopefully this should help.

I have been reading and applying more carrefully http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312 without D10. It is well writen and it is looking to be a safe and efficient to me. I even started by installing 4.2.2 again, then backup then 4.3 with the same method.
4.3 up running and rooted!
No data loss, some stuff learnt and a new backup!
If a new OTA is popping up I will look for the same method.

The current method available wipe's your data. No way around it.
This is true but if you don't want to wipe there will probably be a method eventually

I am not so sure about that. The version we have does not trip the knox counter and with the bounty being paid, i am not sure anybody is actively looking at an alternative root method that doesn't require wiping. Some other variants of the device can be rooted with the same tool/method from designgears and not be wiped but the vzw version is not one of them for whatever reason.
I used Helium from the play store and was able to back up without root and then used it after rooting to restore app data.

If I ever get an OTA update (almost unheard of on AT&T), what do I need to do before I install it to not mess up my phone? It's currently just rooted on the stock ROM.

unless you put a custom recovery on the phone

you get a nice recovery bootloop
but if you get an update
just use the update tool on the pc and plug your phone in and even if you
have a custom recovery it'll update because the update tool does it in download mode
What does "upgrade recovery" do in LG Mobile Support Tool? I tried googling it and couldn't find anything. I rooted and installed TWRP, and the LG Mobile Support tool says I don't have an update available but I'm only on the D80010d, not D80010o

I had edited my build.prop file in /system and now phone is stuck. I have stock nc1 with root. I can get to download mode or stock recovery. Is there any way to adb sideload a proper build.prop file? or is there a way to flash from sd card?
Do you have safestrap and did you make a backup before changing the build.prop? If so just restore it. If not Odin is going to be your friend.

Hello all,
I've had my nexus 4 ever since it came out and never faced this problem. Apparently, flashing any Lollipop ROM other than CM12.1 causes me to lose root. I would install SuperSU and whenever root access is required, it would prompt me, but no access is gained.
Any idea how to fix this? I want to use AOSP roms too!
Thanks.
Anyone?

When you flash new Rom's, do you do a clean or dirty flash. Do you use a custom kernel?
Thanks for replying. Clean,, always clean flashing. And no I don't use any custom kernels; tho I've tried using them to see if I get root access and it didn't work.

What about if you flash a ROM based on CM? Does that work? If not you could try flashing a factory image and start from scratch. Rooting and stuff again.
CM based ROMs work most of the time. I'll try doing the factory image thing. Do u recommend I try anything else?

I can't really think of anything but it is possible some of the more knowledgeable members here at xda have som other suggestions.
This seems like a really strange problem with a clean flash with SuperSU. The only thing I can think of is that root access is being granted too slowly. Have you tried any of the ROM's built-in root apps?
