Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9505. The micro USB port doesn't work : please don't even ask anything to try to make it work, I just tried nearly everything possible (clean up the port, 4 different PC and OS, all the drivers, KIES or nos KIESS, tried to play with the pins, tons of USB mods, tons of cables...). This USB doesn't work at all (apart from charging!).
I would like to update the phone since I'm stuck with a (stock I think?) 4.2.2 not rooted. :crying:
It seems also that I have only Custom Recovery (no wipe data, dalvik and stuff options at all, just basic stuff like "update from zip"..).
I can copy stuff on my ext CD Card or via AirDroid
=> I heard that i could make an OTA update via Stock Recovery but i can't find any file like that. Like that I could do a "update from zip" from Stock Recovery mode (UP+HOME+ON BUTTON)
=> Do you know where i can find this file ? Or do you have any ideas how I would update my phone ? :highfive::highfive:
Here is an image of what i currently have on my galaxy S4 :

Come on, no one can help ? Stuck forever on my 4.2.2 ? Damn, can't even use some features of my chromecast...

Ill get back at it.
Thanks, I'm all ears !
Before I begin, trying to OTA in the settings menu doesn't work? Settings > About phone > Software update. What is the error message you are getting?
The problem is as follows:
- Because you don't have a working usb port, it's a lot harder to fix things if it goes wrong.
- You can't upgrade/restore using Odin, because you don't have download mode.
There are a few things you can do. It's up to you what you want. The problem is that if something goes wrong, you will probably be unable to restore without a new usb port.
A.
Root your phone using Towelroot. Install Xposed Framework and then install Wanam Xposed. Open Wanam Xposed and click on "Fake system status". That should give you OTA updates back.
Downside to this method: You will probably be unable to root in the new version. The downside of not having root is that having a custom recovery would benefit you greatly, sinds you can't use download mode. In your case you will need root to flash the custom recovery.
B.
Use a custom rom.
There are a few things you will need to get everything working.
1. You will need root.
2. You will need a custom recovery
3. You need to update your modem (Wifi fix/non-hlos).
1.
Rooting should be possible using Towelroot. It should work on 4.2.2.
2.
After that you can flash a custom recovery true "Terminal Emulator". You can download that app in the market. You can find the instruction on how to flash the custom recovery here. http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/182
That's TWRP recovery, if you want a different one, go ahead just use the instructions.
If you the flashing was succesfull, then make a backup in the recovery.
3.
You need to update your modem so that everything will work on the old bootloader. You need Mobile Odin (probably the payed one) to flash the modem. You need a wifi-fix/non-halos version because you are on the old bootloader.
4.
You can flash any custom rom you want.

Man, thank you so much. Your explaining are crystal clear. I've been stuck for months without no solution until now. :crying::crying:
So here is what I did :
0. First of all as you asked when i was clicking on "update" to search for some OTA updates i didn't have anything. Absolutely nothing happen : i just click on it wihtout any warning. Please note that before I used to have a typical warning message "your device has been modified..." or something like that
1. I rooted my i9505 wIth towelroot, had to change a code in it because i had a message "your device is not yet supported". It woked after that, i installed SuperSu and RootChecker which are working perfectly. Of course RootChecker is telling me that I am well rooted.
2. I downloaded all the Xposed stuff : framework, update, reboot and also the Wanam Exposed.
3. On Wanam i found the "fake system status" on the "security" part. I did it (several times actually). After the reboots my status was on "OFFICIAL" in android AND in the download mode BUT the Binary Status stay always in "Custom". :silly: So when i try again to update via OTA my phone i doesn't do anything at all, just like before...
=> Then I saw that in this case you have to install TriangleAway to set back the official Binary Status to "officiel" again? Is it this way ?
=> I saw your warnings about the flashing. I think that it's too risky, I'm not very confident and don't want to brick it. I flashed a ROM once but doesn't know anything about wifi flash/non-halos, I doesn't even what that means !
=> But i would love to install a "pure" android 4.4.2 or 5.0, i'm just fed up with touchwizz... So I installed GooImager but unfortuately the servers are down now. So I couln't go any further to install a custom recovery. Could you give me another way and also maybe where to find the wifi/non-halos stuff to flash ? or at least a tutorial ?
Thank you very much? :highfive:
Once again, if you have a little time to help me about my last message.. Thank you in advance
I'm not sure if you need a new rmodem. Just go ahead and flash a recovery true the terminal, that's not really dangerous. Then backup and flash a custom rom that you want. If it works, then it works. If it doesn't work, you can always revert back.
The easier thing to do is replace the USB board. The part is less than £10 and is a piece of piss to fit.
Nope, I aleady tried this. Even with a new USB board it wasn't working.
It's either a bug bad bug on the ROM or a bug on the mainboard. I guess...

First of all I want to tell everybody I work as a WebDeveloper and designer. Last year I had rooted and changed my rom on HTC HD2 (to know i am not a newbie to this area) not a big deal. Me and my brother decided we can root our ACER ICONIA A500 because we.. just wanted it, but I guess we mess it up hard. Here is what we have done:
1.Find a SD card - Format it to FAT32 - Upload the GingerBreak.apk - USB Debugging (ON) - Original thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1055354 - DIDNT WORKED
2.Format the SD card for second time on FAT32 and run the files on PC from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546593 (ofcourse following all steps one-by-one) - and guess what -> IT DIDND WORKED
So we tought rooting for this device wont work, we have to try something else and I uploaded "update.zip" (this ZIP was from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633907 ) into my formatted SD card and run the tablet with Power btn and Vol- it started to load it everythig seemed OK till it restarted by itself and showed me this VIDEO
So where I am now?

The ONLY way to get root with full system RW, is to go to this thread;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622425
There are several ways to do this (unlocked bootloader and CWM) You HAVE to do the bootloader, and you HAVE to install a CWM. And you HAVE to install a pre-rooted rom. The thread offers different methods to do this via an application run from PC.
Root, is just allowing access to view the hidden system files. Most root apps, demand to do writes to the /system. Example, is SU. It does remounts so it can install SU binaries. Just having the Superuser app doesn't mean anything without /system RW. And the only way you get that, is by running an insecure kernel. And the only way you get an insecure kernel on ICS/JB, is via CWM. And of course the only way all this works, is via unlocked bootloader.
That's why we have the package in that link.
You "might" get by with doing the bootloader and CWM. Afterwards, Flash one of the kernels in the dev section (just look), then install SU and Busy Box from the market. This might probably keep your current rom intact. Or, just install a custom rom.
Ok. I think I unlocked my bootloader successfully. But I find it difficult to actually Install CWM recovery! I know that i have to have root before installing CWM recovery actually, am I right?
These are videos from what happens when I launch the tablet on normally and with vol + & -

Question: What is full system RW ?
I even dont know how to flash a kernel.
It may be hard, but I will keep trying till its done.

Can't see anything from yr links for some reason BUT to clarify.
No you are not right!
If you want root to install a recovery, it doesn't work like that with the acer, you must unlock the bootloader.
The unlocked bootloader AND custom recovery are 1 package - if the flash is successful you will already have cwm.
The link Moscow provided you with gives you everything you need.
Which ever method you choose (manual nvflash or auto tools) you must follow each step to the letter!!!
Run the bootloader package again.
Choose yr recovery.
Flash.
Boot DIRECTLY to recovery.
Wipe data/media and cache
Flash yr rom
Reboot.
Done.
If you really only want r/w access use blackthund3r's ICSRoot tool...in the link Moscow posted.
Also if you are on stock rom be sure to read that post regsrding boot.p file.
All of this information is in that post, please take some time to read thru it so u know exactly what is involved. ...if u need further help there are guides in my sig as well.

This is the word i was missing all time.
What i have done?
Installed TWRP, Wiped off SYSTEM,Factory, Dalvik Cache, Cache and finally installed stock rom with full root.
Ok today I rooted my lg g2 installed twrp all fine. Then I decided to install the new kit kat Rom. All ready to go went to wipe everything to start a clean install then stupidly wiped the internal storage too. So can't restore back up and can't install the blasted Rom. Phone will get as far as the lg logo. I can get into recovery but usb mounting doesn't work and Adb sideload will not start. If I try to use Adb push it says nothing is attached. Odd thing is the storage left being reported in twrp is just over 10 gig and it is a 16 gig phone so I thought it should be more. I know if it is booting into recovery there is hope but I'm stumped . Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TWRP OTG to load rom
I was using the d80010d_to_20c.zip firmware + SuperSu.zip + TWRP 2.7.0.0.zip.
i.e. "kitkat" with a custom recovery and root.
I had only the 3 above zips on the phone.
d80010d_to_20c.zip contains the kk_system and a custom kk_kernel, no bootloader.
The bootloader came from the LGFlashTool and a d80010d.tot file on my laptop.
After taking the April 8 OTA from AT&T, my phone was stuck in recovery.
Could not get into download mode or use ADB.
I made the mistake of wiping my phone hoping to get download mode to work.
I should have used the terminal in TWRP and typed:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
which has been reported to work. After wiping the phone it was too late for this.
I was stuck in TWRP 2.7.0.0 which has OTG capability, so I loaded a usb flash drive with d800_Kitkat.zip,
connected it to my phone via an OTG cable, and copied d800_Kitkat.zip to the sdcard using TWRP.
Then flashed it using TWRP. I also flashed SuperSU.zip before booting to system. I'm back to stock Kitkat + root.
I'm hoping someone with Kitkat + root reports whether the April 8 AT&T OTA works on a rooted phone.
We know it fails badly on a custom recovery phone with Jellybean bootloader/custom Kitkat kernel/Kitkat system.
AT&T claims that it just updates Google+, Google Wallet, and makes Google Hangouts the default messaging app
which sounds safe but isn't.
if you can get in recovery then you should also be able to get into donwload mode. Have you tried flashing a kdz for your phone through the lg flash tool?

I can confirm root on AT&T new ota is fully functional. No problems thus far. I haven't tried a custom recovery yet though

Giving up for today will try again t I tomorrow
ok now this is getting silly. I managed eventually by using Koush's drivers to get adb to work and got cm11 working. Whoopee at least the phone works. So I make a backup. then wipe remembering this time to check the backup works. Then install new 4.4 rom. Restarts but then the touch screen input is all over the place so I can't get anything to work. Ok fine go back to recovery and restore from backup.
But noooooooooooo:crying: The flipping TWRP Recovery has gone. I can get as far as the phone saying it is going to install TWRP and reboot, but it doesn't and doesn't. The KDZ files I've found don't seem to work and the part on the lg support tool that starts updating the phone after you have changed to Korean does zip zilch nada. I can get into download mode.
So is there a CM or lightweight kdz file I can try rather than these 2 gig monstrosities?
Any idea why R and D Test tool doesn't work? I've followed instructions and videos?
Why do I do this every time I get a new phone, it was fine I could have waited but no I had to go and tinker
I know this is fixable because I can get into a software installation but I am stumped at the moment.
Any sort of help or pointing to other tutorials would be greatly appreciated.
fixed
Wow what a kerfuffle. After all that I am back to a stock 4.2 Rom with bloat but I don't care the thing works.
All that was wrong was a # in the wrong place.
Next time read and read again. It's like carpenters with their measures twice cut once
Hi,
Is there any reasonably safe way to root LG D802 (international ANEUBK version) with latest 220H update installed ? The phone was never rooted before. I know how to use ADB, etc.
Thanks !

Sorry, but I just gave up on it. Everything is such a mess regarding tools, versions, download locations...I will probably just wait for the official Lollipop update (the reason why I wanted to root was to install CM12 eventually).

It's very simple:
1) download ioroot:
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/ioroot/ioroot.zip
2) extract datroot.zip from the archive just downloaded (from bts folder)
3) on the G2 enable dev option (Settings - About Phone. Then go to the bottom and you should see Build Number. This needs to be pressed a total of seven times. You should get a message at the fourth press. On the seventh, you'll get another message saying that Developer Options are unlocked.)
4) enable usb debug on the phone (Development Settings Enable USB Debugging)
5) plug the phone in usb with the pc and accept yhe RSA Fingerprint message.
6) reboot your phone in recovery with adb cmd (tape cmd: adb reboot recovery)
7) choose 'apply update from adb' in the phone recovery menu (navigate with vol down and valid with power)
8) in the pc tape cmd: adb sideload c:\datroot.zip
9) reboot et enjoy

Thank you, I figured these steps but:
- On one ioroot post (old post - first in thread I think) , they say that I cannot easily install custom recovery without some modified kernel ?? Are you sure I can install TWRP after rooting in order to ensure a way to flash images ?
- Also, can I revert to 100% stock after this (including baseband, bootloader, etc.), if I want to ? If so, with what tools and steps ? This information is very valuable to me.
- Right now I cannot enter recovery mode pressing the Vol Down + power then waiting for LG logo then pressing them again or power button 3 times, no matter what. I can only do this with "adb reboot recovery". Why is this ?
Thanks !

The bootloader is locked. Untill recently, there was only one way to work around it, loki patch.
Only JB bootloader was lokiable, LG patched the KK one and loki doesn't work on it.
So, with loki, you had to downgrade bootloader for being able to apply loki. KK kernel must be patched too for being able to boot behind the downgraded bootloader. All the method for installing a custom recovery with this system was automated by the app autorec.
Recently, Bump was made. it permits to stay with kk booloader. It inject in the kernel (custom recovery and custom kernel) LG authentic Key.
You can easily revert to stock by flashing kdz, or even flashing zip that contains original partition.
I don't understand you last question.

Sorry, but you lost me here. I can't map your answers to my simple questions. My simple questions are:
- Can I revert to 100% factory stock, if I mess with rooting and install CyanogenMod 12 ? If yes, how ?
- After rooting with ioroot (what's the difference between ioroot and ioroot25 ??) what is the simplest way to install CyanogenMod 12 ? I don't really care about TWRP and such if I don't need to.
I'm really not a noobie, but not living in this world of phone hacking I can't figure out the names, versions, etc.

No offense, but I tried to answer you on technical aspects, but I perceive me that your questions are more general order.
it takes time to explain what is custom recovery, and there are already tons of readings that relate to this topic.
I answered to your principal question, how to root 80220H.
As i said in my previous edited answer, you can go back to stock if you need.
I also realize that this thread should instead be placed in question/answer section, not in a dev section.

- How do I install CyanogenMod 12 after I root the phone.
- What are the steps to revert to 100% stock after I root the phone and install CM12; Can I just use the LG flash tool and flash the kdz with no complains from the LG software if I have CM12 installed ?
Thanks.
Do you loss data with this metod?
Thanks
Hello,
I am trying to root a Verizon s5. I read the directions and I thought it was going to be pretty simple.
I started with SM-G9000V
4.4.4
G900VVRU1ANK2
I flashed G900V_NCG_Stock_Kernel.tar and worked fine. Towl/su worked great.
Then it says to flash G900V_NK2_Stock_Kernel_.tar and that is where it gets bad. It says in odin it finished but it will not boot again. It goes right to stock recovery. I try to reboot and it just hangs on samsung then goes back to stock recovery. The only way to get it to booted again is to run G900VVRU1ANCG_Full_Odin.rar.
I am rooted and all is fine but I cant do a back up because I cant get safestrap to work. That is a whole other story. I am looking for a way to get him back to 4.4.4.

After you root, and SuperSU (update its binaries and reboot) you need to install busybox from the play store, open it and install it. After that, safestrap will install. After safestrap is installed, Odin the firmware of your choice. When your phone starts to boot up, safestrap recovery option will show. Click on the recovery button and install the rooted ROM (which you should have already on your phone) that matches the firmware you flashed in Odin.
Here is NK2 stock rooted ROM.

It will always say that if you are on the stock slot. Did you hit the "install recovery" button?
Yes. It seems to install but it doesn't

If you don't mind starting over, flash this tar instead.

Re-root with towelroot, install SuperSU from play store. Update its binaries and reboot. Download busybox from play store and install. Install safestrap, install its recovery. Boot into recovery to see if it works.
Going to try that Monday. Thnaks!~
I just tried it using flashfire instead of Odin and without safestrap (but you do have to be rooted). This worked for me but I am no expert. Just a hacker that is willing to try about anything, ha,ha.
Install flashfire (found at the top of this post). http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...w-to-update-to-g900voc4-5-0-keeproot-t3068546
Download to your phone the rooted stock ROM and corresponding firmware of your choice from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/ne9-stock-rom-t2878981
Open flashfire. Hit the plus button. Select firmware and navigate to the firmware you downloaded. Select boot and recovery. Click the check mark in the upper right hand corner. Hit the plus sign and select zip or ota. Navigate to where you put the rooted ROM. Leave auto mount unchecked.. Hit the check mark. Hit the plus sign and select firmware again. Navigate back to where you put the firmware and this time select boot, recovery, modem, and firmware. Flashfire will ask if you want these in separate flashes. Say yes. Hit the plus sign again. Select wipe. Check everything but SD card. Now arrange everything in this order (drop and drag).
Wipe
Firmware-boot & recovery
Zip-rooted ROM
Firmware-modem & firmware
Firmware-boot & recovery
Ever root - inject SuperSU
Reboot- normal
Hit the lightening bolt to start process. When done you should be on the stock rooted firmware you chose. Again, I just tried this myself and it worked for me but try it at your own risk. I'm just a hacker and not an expert like these other guys.

I plugged in my phone, everything worked fine. Than clicked "System backup", when it told me that it will restart the phone I clicked OK. The Phone just kept restarting. I think it's more like a bootloop, sorry. I could fix it using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2773098

Hi, thanks for your sharing but we need more information. After you click "System backup", was your phone reboot to recovery? Or just start bootlooping? And what's the system version you were using at that time?
