How to flash ?
So... The whole update process will proceed in two steps. The first step is flashing the ROM in which certain features are unlocked (required for flashing custo ROM). Performance of the system, its working, etc have not been changed. The second and last step concerns flashing Custom ROM.
! REMEMBER! Everything you do at your own risk.
Step 1 !
a) Download ROM and Flash tool
b) Run "HWDiagnosticApp (##2846579#) ", turn on "Diag settings" and reset phone.
c) Run Flash Tool , select ROM file / Config XML and click "Scan && Download".
d) Now your phone should reset and start in download mode.
If your phone does not want to start the download mode, use QPST​
e) When phone displays 100%, and the inscription OK. The process of flashing rom is complete. Now you need Reset the phone (press power button on 15 sec or remove battery). Flash tool displays information about the bad file FFU, just ignore it .
Step2 !
Before you begin the process of flashing Custom ROM, make sure that you have a ROM with ability to run the device in mass storage mode. If not, flash it. Also remember that after flashing Custom ROM you need perform the first start (until you see the start menu). If you already have ROM with the ability to run in mass storage mode, you can follow the below instructions.
a) Download latest ROM + WP8CRUU, link at the bottom of the page.
b) Run device in mass storage mode
c) Run WP8CRUU.exe and follow the instructions in the program.
!!Attention!!​​​​If you have Custom ROM , you only need start the phone in Mass Storage mode and flash new Custom ROM with WP8CRUU. You do not have flash everything from scratch !!
How to Enable Mass Storage Mode ?
This is very simply, when you start your phone, press "cam" + "vol -" .

Great work indeed! When you say "mass storage mode" do you literally mean USB mass storage mode (view the phone's storage as a block device)? That would be... very impressive. I'm guessing you need to reboot the phone to enter such a mode though. Alternatively, if you "just" mean Full FS Access via MTP, that's still very cool.
One thought: did you include the Samsung RPC server (so that tools written for interop-unlocked Samsung phones will work)? If not, it may be difficult to port some apps; not all the relevant parts of the registry are writable even with capability unlock (unless you modified the registry ACLs) and I can't find an arbitrary registry write function in the Huawel WINMDs (although there may be one I just didn't see; I did find a read function).

I saw read/write dword functions somewhere in Huawei apps.

Finally. This literally might be the only way to upgrade the Tracfone version since straight talk has no plans on releasing a update. Been flashing all the foreign GDR2 Huawei W1 ROMS and all work fine but don't allow me to use 3G. Really hope this project takes off and possibly a work around for users with the Tracfone branded version of the phone.

It didn't work without bricking your phone, because HTC has other hardware and other bootloader!
Please stop posting stuff in development thread if you don't know about development!
I'm sure WojtasXda will find a way to do this on all WP8 devices, BUT WAIT!

please can you give us the link off your rom ?

Developer Preview only check some Registry Keys then apply a key I don't remember
When you have a Interop Unlocked devices you have Developer Unlock too . So there's no problem with using Dev Preview app.
I think next preview will release in 2nd of April , Yes?

Not sure either, but it sounds like the same issue that the S5 had (actually, I think it's KitKat 4.4 maybe?) where one can't write to the SD card.
There's an app in Google Play called NextAppt SDFix that'll change the permissions so you can write to the SD Card instead of Device only.
This was a lifesaver for me with the S5.
Here's the LINK

Fix not created yet... It is a fix that will enable apps to write on the external sd card... For example, Root Explorer will be able to write to external sd card... Titanium Backup... Etc, etc... (KitKat issue)

Yes, exactly

Sorry... Triple post... (was trying to fix double post into one and made a third) just woke up... Retard me... Lol

FYI, battery patch XXU1ANJ4 is rolling out, but you might not be able to apply it (yet) if you're rooted. http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_4_receives_battery_improving_update-news-9901.php

That looks like an update for the international version only (for now). I'd bet if it is relevant to the 910T we will see one soon from T-Mo.

If I'm stock can I update thru settings then root after will it work after I update?

Since it is a 30+MB Update... (very small update) most likely yes... you should be able to root.
According to post #145 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/orig-development/sm-n910-cf-auto-root-t2897428/page15
It confirms what I mentioned above...

CF Auto Root is failing for me. Wish I could provide more details but following the instructions (I've done this many time with many phones) it fails about halfway through flashing. Anyone else try it yet? I need to Odin the full firmware now.

[Guide] How to root SM-J730F without TWRP [Android 7.0.0] [Firmware Included]

Note to users: I am NOT RESPONSIBLE for any damage done to your device. I did this on my phone and it worked just fine. Any damages done to the device is your fault. Please make sure to follow the steps carefully.
This is a guide on how to root the Samsung Galaxy J7 SM-J730F without TWRP. I've included a backup stock firmware in case you soft-brick your device.
BACKUP STOCK FIRMWARE FOR SOFT-BRICKED DEVICES:
In case you have soft-bricked your device by doing this tutorial incorrectly, download the stock firmware HERE and follow this guide to re-flash your phone, HERE. Do not attempt to root your device again unless you know what you're doing this time.
I also recommend completely backing up your device after successful root - click here to find out how.
WARNINGS:
1. You will have to WIPE ALL YOUR DATA in order to complete this tutorial.
2. You are at a very high risk of screwing up your device if you proceed ahead with this tutorial. Please make sure you know what you are doing, and that you have knowledge of re-flashing your phone. I am not responsible.
Requirements:
1. A Samsung Galaxy J7 SM-J730F device;
2. PC;
3. An USB cable;
4. Odin v3.12.7 - Download Here;
5. SuperSU .tar file - Download Here;
6. ADB - Download Here.
Instructions:
1. Download Odin on your PC from the link above, and extract everything from the archive to C:\ODIN (create a new folder);
2. Download the SuperSU .tar file from the link above and place it in your C:\ODIN folder. DON'T extract this archive;
3. Download ADB from the link above and extract the contents of the archive to C:\ADB (create a new folder);
4. Make sure USB Debugging AND OEM Unlock are ENABLED in Settings --> Developer Options on your phone. If you don't know how to activate Developer Options, check this out. After you've enabled these, connect your USB cable from your phone to your PC.
Note: If the phone tells you an access request is being received from your PC's fingerprint, accept it.
6. Open ADB on your computer by going to a Command Prompt, and typing cd C:\ADB;
7. Type adb devices to make sure your phone has been detected by ADB, like so:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
8. In the Command Prompt, type adb reboot recovery and press enter to reboot your phone into Recovery Mode;
9. Once your phone has booted into Recovery Mode, select the Wipe data/factory reset, and then select Yes when it asks for confirmation:
(Note: THIS STEP IS MANDATORY. If you don't wipe your data, the encryption on your phone will remain and you will be unable to root your phone.)
10. After you've wiped your data, BOOT DIRECTLY INTO DOWNLOAD MODE FROM RECOVERY MODE. You can do this by holding down Volume Down + Home Key + Power Button WHILE STILL IN THE RECOVERY MENU.
Important Note: Ideally, you should still be in the recovery menu after doing a factory reset. Then do the instructions above to enter Download Mode. If you reboot AND THEN go to Download Mode, this method won't work, because your encryption will be put in place again and your phone will become unrootable. Please do the above steps with caution.
11. Hold the buttons down. If you did everything correctly, you should see a screen like this pop up:
12. Press the Volume Up button to proceed to the flashing section. You should see this screen:
13. Now, make sure that the USB cable is still connected to your phone. Open ODIN on your PC, and click on the AP button, then select the SuperSU archive that you downloaded. Make sure that your phone is detected, Odin has to say "Added!!" in the log to the right. If it doesn't say that, re-connect your USB cable to your phone, or switch the USB port on your PC. Then press Start to begin flashing SuperSU and rooting your phone:
14. After Odin has finished flashing your phone, it should say PASS! at the top left of the window, under it's name. Your phone will reboot automatically.
15. Once your phone has rebooted, you should be greeted by the usual setup screen that happens when you factory reset your device. Set up the settings as normal, and install SuperSU from the Play Store HERE once the phone is set up. (This is VERY important.)
16. After you've installed SuperSU, download Titanium Backup from the Play Store, and uninstall the system app "Knox" and everything with "Knox" in their name, and also uninstall "Device Security". They could mess with your boot and spam you with "Unauthorized Action" notification. You don't need them anyway -- once you're rooted, those two don't work anymore.
And that's it!
Your phone should be rooted now! I recommend installing Root Checker to see if you have done everything correctly. It should return this result if so:
Thanks for reading my tutorial! I hope it has helped you root your phone. If you did everything correctly, you should be rooted now. If you have soft-bricked your device and your phone is stuck on the Samsung boot logo, please download the included backup firmware and re-flash your phone, and do not attempt to root your phone again.
Hit the "Thanks!" button if my guide helped you!
Please leave any problems you might have in the comments, and don't be immature. I will not help people with a bad attitude. As I said, if you **** up, it's your problem and I am not responsible. But I will still try to help.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Recommendations (Optional):
I recommend the following root-only apps to enhance your rooted experience.
1. Titanium Backup - Must-have app for rooted users. Useful in debloating your phone, freezing apps (hiding them from app drawer and disabling them - even system apps), backing up apps and more.
2. FlashFire - Useful for completely backing up your phone, flashing your phone with ZIPs, restoring backups and more.
3. Link2SD - Useful for moving apps to the SD card or to the Internal Storage, and more.
4. Greenify - Greenify working in root mode is the best battery saving app there is. It hibernates the apps that you don't use so that you can get the most out of your battery.
5. ES File Manager PRO - The perfect file manager. It lets you back up your apps, has a root explorer function, can let you see hidden files, lets you create shortcuts to any file on your home screen, and much more. There is a free version too, but I strongly recommend the PRO version.
Note: You guys can leave root-only apps in the replies as well, I didn't include a full list of them, obviously, so you guys can help people finding the apps they need to enhance their newly unlocked root experience.
If you want me to send you a list of safe to uninstall system apps, PM me.
Quick extra tip: To disable the ugly white frames for icons in the TouchWiz Home launcher, go to Settings -> Display -> Icon Frames and choose Icons Only.
------------------
Revisions:
- Added extra step about Knox resulting from the feedback of a user.
- Removed system app section. Seems to be giving people boot issues.

Root again and check every step carefully.
After you've checked everything was done properly, ONLY UNINSTALL KNOX AND DEVICE SECURITY. Don't attempt to uninstall other system applications other than the ones listed in the list.
That's why you're getting "Unauthorized Action" warning. Because Knox is still in effect, and it's detected that you're using a rooted phone. Therefore it warns you. So uninstall it completely, and everything else with "Knox" in its name.
I'm going to add this to the guide so that this doesn't happen again.
NOTE: Also don't worry, once you have completely re-flashed your phone with default stock firmware, it's not rooted anymore and rebooting is safe. Rebooting while rooted is also perfectly safe, if you can do tutorial steps correctly and don't skip over any steps.

I think this guide should be on this forum : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7-2017, but it had very help me, thank you!
After my second reboot (first done after remove the knox things), I'm stuck ont boot screen... I'm not sure, but I think onedrive can't be remove... I will try again

Don't try to uninstall system apps. I will remove that whole section - seems to be giving people a lot of trouble.

Well, don't remove OneDrive then. I have no idea what's causing this issue. I uninstalled all those apps in the list on my phone and it works just fine?

this did not work for me. After rooting the device I am stuck with SAMSUNG boot logo. I think I have android 9 might be the issue.

Very Well Crafted....Kudos!
Having tinkered with well over a dozen similar tools over the past couple of years....I can only say.....Kudos to all involved in this project! It is very well crafted indeed and covers a very respectable gamut of tools while managing to be quite expeditious throughout the process. Most importantly...it works like a Swiss watch....precisely and reliably. Are there other things it could do?...Well...that's like asking a muscle car owner if there are any other bolt-ons his car could accomodate....right?
Again...Awesome Job!!...but a wise man once told me...when you start to break ahead of the pack...that's when you need to run twice as fast....

Why always AP?? oh well, Im not complaining. Listen, thank you guys for making such a great tool and sharing it!!! Blow away! May innovation be like a sister to you and yours. Question though.... so basically I can flash and tweak phones with what chip support? I missed it. Qualcomm (obviously because of Samsung) but MediaTek too? Also, how difficult would it be to port this to a Linux OS, if I used something like CrossOver or Wine or similar?

Hi dear
If you put the file in bl, it will be writed
Odin software write it to the device based on the kernel name or file system in the tar file.So it's not important to put in either ap or in bl
You can use this method for any processor or brand.Only your device must accept custom binary.(boot.img RvSecurity)
For the Linux version, I try to write the next version
thanks and good luck

Problem with my device is my volume buttons are totally non functional this is why i never was able to switch from Odin mode to recovery instantly by buttons combination (in result - always locked device and had to flash stock rom). I am on Stock Android 8.0 for S7 Edge G935F. Sorry for typing like a noob (a actually rooted/unlocked a lot of devices sometimes spending a lot of time on it but without volume buttons I am in dead point) PS. Last time i had to make 300kOhm device to get my phone into download mode so I am able to get into download but i am not able to use volume keys. And again thanks for any tips/tutorials etc

[GUIDE/TUTORIAL/HOWTO] LG G3 D855 Stock to Android 11

[GUIDE/TUTORIAL/HOWTO] LG G3 D855 Stock to Android 11
[GUIDE/TUTORIAL/HOWTO] LG G3 LG-D855 (Unlocked/Europe) Stock to Android 11 R/LineageOS 18.1 with all files included, Netflix and Disney+ working
This detailed step-by-step guide helps you transform your LG G3 D855 to a powerful one with Android 11.
I wrote it because what I read was incomplete or outdated.
Make sure your phone is compatible LG G3. In Android, go to Settings > General > About phone > Hardware info > Model number is LG-D855.
If not, quit this tutorial.
### I'll make a few comments like this, PLEASE READ THEM !
### WARNING. DO NOT CHECK FOR ANDROID UPDATES (we'll see this later).
CHANGELOG
v3. Use Netflix and Disney+ in SD
v2. Fix the link to download Android 5 firmware
v1. Initial release for Android 11
1) DOWNLOAD
- djibe LG G3 d855 pack: https://bit.ly/djibe-lgg3-d855-pack
(contains LG USB drivers + LGUP + KingoRoot4.8.apk + b007.autorecd855_2015-04-16.apk + Quick Reboot ROOT.apk + TWRP Recovery 3.5.2_9-0-d855 + Magisk root).
Unzip files.
- ROM LineageOS 18.1 Official: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...s990-vs985-lineageos-18-1-31-03-2021.4205475/
Download latest build here: https://server.zacherts.de/smartphone/LG-G3/?C=N;O=D or here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=4279422670115723669
- BiTGApps Package ARM 11: https://github.com/BiTGApps/BiTGApps-Release/releases
+ Charge phone to 100%
+ Always use USB2 port
No command line will be used ! No need to be a geek.
2) INSTALL USB DRIVERS
Install LG USB drivers (you unzipped earlier).
Then plug phone to PC in File transfer mode (Media device MTP option).
Collect all .jpg or .mp4
Use an app like Backupyourmobile to backup texts, contacts, etc.
Make sure Google account is synced, WhatsApp backups etc...
Check that backup is located on microSD card.
Then copy the backup on your PC.
Go to Settings > General > About phone > Status > IMEI.
Note and save EMEI (15 digits, just in case) !
3) ANDROID VERSION
Go to Settings > General > About phone > Software info > Android version.
- Android version is 6.0: bad news, we have to downgrade it.
Latest MarshMallow (Android 6) updates have closed the root opportunities.
- Android version is 5.0: cool, see you at chapter 5.
4) DOWNGRADE LG G3 TO ANDROID 5 LOLLIPOP
### Many thanks to shakeyabooti: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...mp-tot-method-with-lgup.2785089/post-64624353
### D-855 only. If not, read more on https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...p-tot-method-with-lgup.2785089/#post-64624353
This chapter is only if Android 6 is installed on your LG G3 D-855.
You may try to root with KingoRoot first, because early MM firmwares seem to have vulnerabilities.
Read next chapter to try KingoRoot. If it fails, follow this whole chapter.
Download firmware: http://storagecow.eu/Xda/LG G3/Stock/D855/United Kingdom/UK Europe General D85520I.kdz
### Write to me the day the link dies.
Install LGUP_LG_G3/LGUP_Install_Ver_1_14_3.msi
Then install LGUP_LG_G3/LGUP_8974_DLL_Ver_0_5_CODEFIRE.msi
Shutdown phone.
Plug in USB cable into computer.
Press and hold Volume+ button and plug phone to microUSB.
Hold until Firmware update screen is displayed and release Volume+ button.
Right click on Windows Start Menu icon > Device Manager.
Locate the COM & LPT Ports option and expand it.
Double click on LGE Mobile USB Serial Port.
### No LGE Mobile USB Serial Port ? Install LG USB drivers and restart PC
Double click on LGE Mobile USB Serial Port > Port Settings > Advanced.
Change COM Port Number to COM41.
Confirm with OK and OK Again.
Go to LGUP's Install folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP)
Right click on LGUP.exe > Run as administrator
LGUP will load and find phone on Port COM41.
Select UPGRADE and in File Path select the firmware: UK Europe General D85520I.kdz
Now select REFURBISH option.
Make sure BIN File is checked.
Then click on Start.
Wait during firmware flash.
Phone will reboot to Android 5.
Configure Android but DO NOT Agree to "Software Update".
5) ROOT LG G3 IN 2021 (Android 5 LOLLIPOP ONLY)
We need Root to flash a custom recovery.
Disconnect phone from PC..
Turn Wi-Fi off.
Connect phone to PC.
Access its Internal storage using Windows Explorer.
### If storage is not accessible, make sure in Android's notification panel that Media device (MTP) is the active transfer mode.
Copy KingoRoot4.8.apk, b007.autorecd855_2015-04-16.apk, Quick Reboot ROOT.apk AND twrp-3.5.2_9-0-d855.img on it.
On phone, use File Manager app and navigate to All files > Internal storage
Tap on KingoRoot4.8.apk > tap on Security button > Check Unknown sources in Security menu and confirm with OK.
Then complete Stump install by tapping on INSTALL button > Then Open.
Once in KingoRoot4.8 app, tap on Root.
Wait during process.

Hi jason, glad you liked it !

I have a LG-G3 D855 Europe version with 16GB internal storage and 2GB RAM
I read that the main camera doesn't work on the D855 (European version), is that correct?
What else doesn't work when Android 11 is on it?
I have a LG-G3 D855 Euro version with 16GB of internal storage and 2GB of RAM.
At the moment I have Fulmix ROM 6.9 installed (is Android Marshmallow 6) and thus also rooted.
So I could then install the new TWRP 3.5 and then the ROM Lineage OS 18.1 afterwards, proceed as described or do I have to pay attention to something else?
Thanks for the hints and tips

Installed... no WLAN on my LG G3 D855 with Lineage 18.1
Ok, now I've set everything up successfully, on my almost 7-year-old LG-G3-D855 with only 32 GB of memory and still a poor 32-bit device.
The WLAN settings required that I had to switch the WLAN encryption to WPA2 CWP on the AVM Fritzbox 6660 Cabe.
It's sad that such an Android 11 as Lineage 18.1 doesn't get along with normal settings in the Fritzbox as WPA2/WPA3. Didn't the developers pay attention again? something like that is allowed with Android 11 !!! not happen.
Even my old Fulmics 6.9 ROM could work perfectly with the Fritzbox 6660 Frotz OS 7.29 in 2.4 and 5 GHz mode, only Lineage 18.1 can't do anything with it. Already very sad.
But ok, I solved the problem and now the front and rear cameras work as well. I still have to look for an icon pack for the surface, the normal icons look terrible!

Glad you did it.
I don't remember having troubles with Camera.
I can't help about this AVM Fritzbox 6660 Cabe thing. I don't know this.

Hello friend, I have installed this ROM, but testing it, I verify that it does not record video. I have tried other apps such as Open Camera or even the LG Camera apk and the same problem still does not record video. At first I even did a factory reset to see but it still can't record video, do you know any solution or is it because it's the latest version of official Lineage OS that I flashed, what version does the video camera work with? Thank you.

I had Fulmix 8 and proceed this tutorial and it went well. I wanted Lineage because with Android 6 there are many apps that no longer run. The problem with Lineage OS is that the video camera does not record.

I fixed it by updating Google Play Services, Play Store and Framework and rebooting.
