ROM Backup LG E430

Hello
In this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2411426) I found a way to root my lg e430. But the guide says I need to change my ROM first, it isn't suitable for me because I can't make backup of my present branded polish orange ROM so it void my warranty. Is there any way to do a ROM backup before changing it?
Thank you in advance for your answers and sorry for my english.

So, I can use Clock Word Mod without rooted device?

aaa, no, is an adb command but not working well, without root you cannot make a backup

Ok so i need to find a way to root my device directly from original ROM or find this ROM in internet. If you have any ideas - let me know.

I could but I'd lose my current rom. So I can't flash my ROM back if something would be wrong or i decide to take my phone to warranty service in this case.

You can always say that you had to flash open version of the ROM because the Orange one crashed or something. Warranty void occurs when you root the phone/unlock bootloader. At least thats how I see it.

I finally found a method to root my device in this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2403230, but I can't change the superuser app that way. If I uninstall chinese superuser and then install normal, device acts like an unrooted then I must root again by vroot program. Do you have any ideas of changing superuser app?

Same problem, after uninstalling chinese version device is unrooted

Yes, you're right I added permissions to normal superuser by chinese superuser. And the uninstall then everything works perfectly.
Now I want to backup my ROM with ClockWordMod but it unlocks the bootloader. How to lock it again and uninstall CWM when I would take my phone to warranty service.

And the other question, Is there any other way to backup my ROM if ClockWordMod doesn't support my phone.

Rooting your device voids your warranty. You can't take it to the service center anymore
Sent from my LG-E610 using xda app-developers app

I though that when I unroot my smartphone or flash original firmware ROM my warranty doesn't void.

Root Lollipop

MOD EDIT @gregbradley
Also, users should be aware that Kingo root sends your IMEI to an unknown IP address in china during the root process, you have been warned. For more information read the whole OP here
Getting ROOT rights to Android 5.0 Lollipop (KingRoot) It is not my work. Taken from a russian forum.
1.Download and install latest version of Kingroot to phone.
2.Run the application and get the Root. Important - do not restart the device, because it can lead to failure in obtaining Root.
3.Enable "USB debugging" and "unknown sources".
4.Install the latest version from the PC XZDualRecovery to get full access to reading and writing to the section System (connect your phone to a PC via a cable, run the install.bat to select a number " 1 "on the screen to confirm a request for superuser)
5.Phone will reboot automatically to recovery. Install supersu.
6.Boot
Files to root.

I've been waiting for a one click root, but everything I'm reading says this is really sketchy and no one is quite sure what it is doing.
Can anyone confirm working on Z3?

For which phone? T-Mobile?

Well, I couldnt resist. I've now got a working root with SuperSU, and have removed all I can find of the KingRoot app.
So far, seems to be working well.

Someone else tried it?

Yes I believe so. I have the Kinguser icon in my app draw, but It wont open. I deleted all files associated with King via ES Root Explorer, and cannot find anything.
I still wouldn't recommend anyone else doing this, god knows what information was sent to China upon installing it, but I really wanted root.

I tried that, it needs internet connectivity. However, the reason I allowed this was I understand that this root is based on a Ping exploit, which would need internet connecivity to work.
I figured the risk werent THAT high for me. I dont re-use passwords and no bank details stored on my phone.

Can confirm this method works.
You might want to try going in Airplane mode if you're paranoid for the Chinese. In any case, Kingroot + XZDR + SuperSU 2.49 works perfectly.

It works for me I can confirm now.I have root on lollipop locked bootloader so nice haha ? thanks

Root checking bypass / dual boot, newbie question

Hi,
I'm following this site for years now, whenever I need to root my phones or just have some technical question related to them, mostly I find the correct answer right here. So, I decided to ask something for the first time, because couldn't find an answer good enough about this matter.
I have a Galaxy S7 Edge (G935F) right now and I decided to root it for the first time. Didn't go so well, I got the "Verification Failed, Unable to restart your device..." error. Doesn't matter, I lost everything I had on my phone, but now it's working again. But after I wasted 2 hours and a lot of data for nothing, I realized, that I can't use a rooted phone anyway, because I need multiple apps (bank applications for ex.) which won't open on a rooted phone.
I have three questions:
1) Is there ANY method to successfully hide my phone being rooted, which works a 100% for apps like bank apps?
2) Can dual boot solve my problem, having a primary custom, rooted rom, but having a secondary clean rom for only these few apps? Or those apps check for something deeper, than that?
3) If 1) and 2) won't work, is there any other method to have a rooted phone, but use apps which doesn't work on a rooted device?
TL;DR: Wanna use bank apps on rooted phones, but they won't start because of the root. Any method to make it work?
Thanks in advance!

What is Magisk? A custom ROM? A custom recovery? A root thing like SuperSU?
A little more explain would be good, like the title says, I'm a newbie.

How to root Galaxy A9 2018 (A920F)?

Has anyone successfully rooted A9 2018 (A920F)?

Is anyone working on it?

How to root
you can use rooting tool or a application to root your galaxy. But there are pros and cons. So you have to consider about them. You can use a single click rooting applications but i can not guarantee it is safe. So you have to do it at your own risk.

We can start with that. That's a good option. I hope it will work.

This site has instructions, however the TWRP version for the A920F is not listed on the site.

Yes, there is no twrp for A920F

I have tried KingRoot, KingoRoot, Dr.fone. But all failed

We need to get some traction on this. Has anyone submitted a request to get TWRP on this model?

I managed to get this rooted with EFT dongle. There was no other method that I could find.

Rooted Successfully
SM-A920F can be successfully rooted by OneClickRoot. If you pay them, they can help you root it manually. My device has been rooted successfully.
But now, the problem is TWRP. Technicians from OneClickRoot told me no TWRP is available for this device and they can't help. So I submitted the request on TWRP builder. But nearly 40 devices are ahead of me waiting for TWRP building.
Is there anyway to get the TWRP faster?

Does it trip knox counter?
Edit: I said screw the knox counter, I'm going with it. Everything was all green until it asked me to register so I entered some name and email. Then it asked me 30$(or 40$ if you're doing it from the computer and not the app). Definitely not worth it to root.
Edit 2: I'm now trying the Magisk boot file patch method, which can work without root and custom recovery. Unlocked developer options, checked OEM unlock option(which needed a factory reset)
downloaded stock firmware, extracted boot.img from it, patched and repacked it using magisk manager and finally flashed it to phone using odin. Knox counter is already tripped. It required another factory reset when I booted it after flashing(It said device integrity was compromised and it needed a factory reset, so I did it) but no bootloops. Aaand after I waited long enough to be able to install magisk manager again, I found out that my attempt was a success! I can now enjoy systemless root on my phone, at the expense of tripping the knox counter of course.
And of course, no luck on twrp side, which could've made the whole process easier for me.
Edit 3: It may sound simple when I write it like this here but it actually is a lengthy process. In fact, I looked up multiple guides on the internet, at least one for each part I talked about above and sometimes more than one since this is my first samsung phone ever.
Edit 4: One last thing, I can pass SafetyNet as well now, which was failing right after I did the OEM Unlocking and factory reset but before I actually rooted it with magisk.

Where is the su of rooted S7 edge binary stored?

Hi!
I want to hide su binary from my phone temporarily to trick apps into thinking that my phone is not rooted. I thought I could just rename su binary from TWRP but I could not find that. It's not inside /system/xbin/ or /system/bin/.

It's more complicated than that.
You may simply need to check your Play Integrity responses. See this thread.
For more details on how the Magisk patch works, see this post. Don't start arbitrarily messing with things, though.
Start with the basics, though. Which apps are failing? Make sure you are using the Play Integrity fix. Add those apps to DenyList just to be safe. If they are Samsung specific apps, be aware that Knox Guard is tripped by flashing modified/custom firmware, and cannot be reversed, even if the device is returned to stock.

Thanks!

I rooted my phone with TWRP 3.1.0.0 and SuperSU 2.7 instead of Magisk. How much of it still applies and how much does not? I actually rooted it like 5 years ago already, now I just have app that does not like rooted phone.

Also SuperSU asked if I want to disable Knox when it first started. Do you happen to know how to revert that? Would like to revert my phone to pre-SuperSU state in that regard as well. Just in case. Also will I be more vulnerable to viruses/malware when it stays disabled? Or should this knox question be separate topic already? Didn't want to spam this forum too much but it's also not connected to original question that much.

I honestly don't know that much about Knox but having it disabled doesn't make your device any more vulnerable than being rooted. Be mindful of what you install, and don't grant root access to apps you don't trust.
