IORoot on Vodafone G2-D802 Italy

Hi Guys,
I'm new in XDA and this G2 is my first Android phone.
Build:JDQ39B
Sw: D80210a-222-10
By the way I'm trying to root my G2 with the IORoot method, and probably for my carrier Vodafone, it responce that:
no matching phone found. Got VDF from adb.
Now, I know that I can edit root.bat, adding a line for my carrier like:
if %RESULT%==VDF GOTO ATTTMORoot
but, I want to know if someone tryed it before!
I'm waiting just your responce to proceed. Thanks!

Welcome to XDA!
You should be able to root your D802 regardless of carrier (unless in the US) by selecting the International version option. I rooted my D802 that was locked to O2 UK, by selecting the International version option. Good luck and report back!

if you superSU or superuser in your app drawer then it is successful and apps can request root permissions

Thanks. I hoped on over to the guys in the IRC and asked them the same. And what you are saying is correct. Though it seems that superuser from DD does not give you the superuser request and you can't track them inside the app. This was confirmed by one other user over there. Instead I now use SuperSU by Chainfire (GooglePlay) which handles the requests correctly.
Cheers

Thats great! just make sure you remove one of them and keep the other as it can cause conflicts between the apps

[Q] Anyone got the last My Verizon app pre-root stuff

I stupidly deleted my TiBu backup and sadly don't have the apk for the last My Verizon app before they started requesting root access. Does anyone have the apk for that version? Many thanks in advance.

Myverizon.apk hope this helps you out. btw are you making a rom? if u need a tester let me know?

I don't know if it's helpful, but I simply went into SuperSU and DENIED "My Verizon" root access. Not sure if that'll accomplish the same thing as installing a version of MyVZW that is "pre-root requesting."

True but I haven't felt 100% fully comfy with the latest version. Thankfully it still works just fine with by passing the root access request but it still makes me a bit weary if you know what I mean.

[Q] SM-T530NU not full root help

It's the 10.1 inch
I just rooted my tablet today and gained su.
I can give apps su. I get the give su prompt box.
I used the Odin method from this site by chainfire.
Now I managed to kill knox. I closed and un-installed all 6 knox stuff with titanium backup. I did create a back up file for all of them but I don't think you can restore them.
I need busy box for some of my root apps to function because I need the killall.
For some reason busy box gets error message saying there might be a problem with my root.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I had the same issue on the SM-T530NU rooted using the Odin/chainfire method (I assume you're referring to the Play Store busybox app). The problem went away for me when I installed and ran Root Browser, which installs components of busybox on its own. After installing and running root browser once (follow the setup prompts), and then rebooting the tablet, I was able to run the original busybox installer app with no issues. No idea if this'll work for you but since it was the exact same set of circumstances, hopefully it will.

With custom recoveries available, cf autorooot isn't really needed.
At some point you are going to trip knox. But if you have successfully disabled knox, go ahead and flash
a custom recovery. Then flash chainfire's latest supersu update zip. Then find your busybkox install via market
or a custom binary.
If custom binary, push it to /system/xbin, then open terminal and su, then
mount -o remount,rw /system
chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
busybox --install -s /system/xbin
reboot

i am unable to root my Tab too, is there anyway to pre-check if it can be rooted or not. and what is the tool for it ?

Settings > General > About Device tell me your Model number (e.g. mine is SM-T530NU) and I can tell you if it can be rooted. IF AND ONLY IF you have the same model number as mine, SM-T530NU (and by extension the one in the OP, the one in the title) this method will root your tablet BUT it will also trip knox, thereby voiding your warranty. If your model number is at all different do not use that link it could very well brick your device. Just tell me your model number, good chance there's a way to root it

Will someone please help me with this? Why can't I install busybox?

SM-T530NU is mine. That's what you needed right?
Now will I be able to unroot my device to play a game that won't run if I'm rooted?
Or is there a way I can run it and still keep my root?
I used the chainfires way of rooting and I just did the superuser unroot.
I went to the Samsung website and got the stock file for my device which is like 1.2 or so gb.
Can I put that back on my device and then wouldn't I be completely unrooted?
Also I used titanium backup to remove all the knox files while I had root.
Will this be a problem when I flash over my Samsung file I downloaded from the Samsung site?
I want to have full root but still be able to play this game ragnarok. Can it be done? Oh and using that lame hide my root from the Google play store didn't work. I hide the su binary and removed the suapp and it didn't work.

This will root your tablet BUT it will ALSO VOID YOUR WARRANTY

And what about my other questions? Can I hide the fact I have root? How?
What about if I want to unroot it? Will it be fully unrooted? How?
What if after I root it and then unroot it, can I root it another time? How and will it cause problems?
Is there a program like macro touch that I can use without root?
I feel that my questions are very simple and straightforward could someone answer them?
Someone that had actually done it and not just someone that thinks they know what their talking about.

Jesus Christ dude are you illiterate I was providing a link to the other guy to root his tablet. But yes please, get me banned. Sic the internet police on me for all I care. You want your answers questioned? There are two invaluable tools just waiting to help you find your answers. They're called the xda search button, and google. You're a human being living in an age where we have the most immediate access to just about any information imaginable. I have around a dozen devices all rooted using a variety of methods and I am able to install and run any program on any one that I darn well please. If you're really going to tool around and hem and haw about a bunch of apps I don't know that I can help you.
You have the SM-T530NU? Fine, this is a surefire way to root your tablet. HOWEVER, in doing so you will trip knox, thereby voiding your warranty. If you don't understand that sentence, I revisit my earlier point of READ. Learn on your own, that's what I've done. But stop coming at me with your confrontational language, especially coming from a position of such a persistent insufficiency in knowledge and a lack of the motivation to rectify that shortcoming on your own.

You can unroot in SuperSU. It's an option called "unroot"
Yes it will be unrooted. Or you can just reflash system firmware.
I don't foresee any problems with rooting, unrooting, and then even re-rooting your tablet but even so if problems arose (which they probably wouldn't) there are ways to wipe/reset the tablet.
I don't know what macro touch is. Use google, the play store, xda, etc. to search for apps.
Yes maybe he shouldn't've asked his question here. Don't jump down my throat for answering it. I can read perfectly fine, I do it more than most and have been blessed with 20-15 vision.

Advice needed on updating Samsung S5 from 4.4.2 to 5.1 whilst keeping Foxfi and Root

Hi everyone,
Looking for some help on updating my Samsung S5 to the latest Verizon update which looks to be LRX21T.G900VVRU2BOK3. I have found a lot of conflicting information on updates so first hand experience would be great. I need to keep foxfi working as I have unlimited data and the phone is rooted with towelroot. Details are
Verizon Samsung S5
Android Verion 4.4.2
Model Number SM-G900V
Baseband G900VVRU1ANCG
Kernel Version 3.4.0
Build Number KOT49H.G900VVRU1ANCG
Looks like Foxfi is supported on Android 5.1 but does anyone have first hand experience? I would also like to keep root if possible. I currently have Titanium Backup and SDM frozen, would it be best to take the over air update? Lastly anybody have bad experiences with the LRX21T.G900VVRU2BOK3 update?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

dont know if bok6 version will work on your g900v. but the battery life is awesome.

Hey Keypepper,
I'm in the exact same boat as you and would love any insight you may have--if you decided to pull the trigger on un-freezing (thawing?) SDM to grab the OTA update. Root would be great to keep, but I'm pretty sure that's no longer possible in the same fashion beyond 4.4.2. Hence the massive push back to this version and utilizing the ease of towelroot. Either way, if you can pass on any add'l perspective you have, I'd appreciate it.

Hey wlhovde,
I decided to apply the Samsung policy update to keep it more secure. This did not break root.
I'll probably will add the latest kitkat version when I get the S7 or when my contract expires.

For reference.....even if prior rooting hasn't broken OTA updating (it probably has) and the OTA downloaded, installing it WILL break root......

Hate to revive this thread, but I am in the same boat and my main concern is just patching the stage fright vulnerbility so I can have my MMS back.

You can adjust the settings in messaging so that attachments aren't automatically opened. That will help.....

Ah....I must have missed that part about Web videos.....mind you I don't use my phone for watching videos......My laptop has a larger screen lol.
About updating and keeping root....There are 2 ways I know of....it just depends whether you want to keep knox intact or not.....
1) Use Flashfire (by Chainfire) to keep root while upgrading with knox remaining at 0x0.
2) Odin flash (or OTA) your upgrade....this will kill root but it can be re - obtained by flashing TWRP and SuperSU afterwards.....
This method will trip knox and WON'T work on devices with locked bootloaders.....so if you're running a Verizon or AT&T device, don't go there.....

AFAIK Xposed doesn't play nice with lollipop touchwiz......it's the installer itself which isn't compatible (I think)......
If I remember correctly, somebody has created a modified installer which I think is SDK specific.....but I can't remember where I saw it......

Apps for root exploits?????

Hello everyone and I have a few quick questions. I will admit first that I am still using my AT&T Galaxy S5 and have been doing so for 4 years. I've recently been thinking about a new phone, and needing one since my battery sucks now. So, I'm looking at the Note9. On my S5 I was able to get a form of root access through an app named TowelRoot. I know I can't get full root on an AT&T phone but are there any other apps or workarounds to allow SU abilities on the Note9? My other questions is if there is not a way to get SU abilities, is there a version of Xposed, TB or anything similar that doesn't require root/SU to use the Xposed modules? Pardon if I overlooked threads with possible answers but I wanted to ask for any insight and or information. Thank you much.

Unfortunately no, they have their phones locked down. However you can get a Chinese variant, or international variant and get full root.

Ah man, that sucks. Thank you for the information and I'll try to figure out something soon.

What changed is that now there is something called secure boot that checks for root on startup so even if a app can root it wouldn't boot so its pointless so they stopped being developed

In case you haven't seen this thread yet, there is hope.
