Does anyone know any other way to get marshmallow on my rooted device? I have TWRP on there and am trying to side-load, but everytime i click on adb sideload on my phone, the phone disappears from my computer. I have tried many things to no avail. I apologize if this has already been asked elsewhere. TIA!

You could use the return to stock tool in the development section and just take the OTA. Then you can just reflash TWRP.
Thanks for the quick response, but I have done that a couple of times and i have received the OTA, but the install always fails. I am using the RTS program that has the file that starts out with CLARK_RETUS_5.1.1_LPH23.116-18.......... Is there another that i should be using? BTW, I am on the European 1572 variant if that matters. Thanks again for the reply!
I've got the same problem, I'm on the 1572 instead of the 1575 and not sure on what to do with the return to stock tool
I just went through this yesterday. I tried the twrp but got no WiFi even with flashing the modem. I tried return to stick and failed the first time. I tried return to stick the second time but flashed the modem file by itself again and then the MM upgrade worked. That is the only thing I did differently.

dont use the return to stock tool for the xt1575 on the xt1572, you need to get the xt1572 firmware from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development/pure-firmware-tuff-wip-t3224833 get it, and unzip it, then get this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzsA17IjC5k2Y203VklsVDhseDQ/view?usp=sharing and put it in the same directory, make sure you have fastboot installed system wide, otherwise put the files in the same directory as the images, boot the phone into fastboot mode (power + vol down), plug into computer, and run the flash-all batch script, once done, the phone should reboot into stock 5.1.1

Could I message you on Skype or something about this? I'm kinda lost... My Skype is ________ if you can. Sorry man...
My apologies. I didn't catch you were on 1572. Was on my way out of the house and answered quickly.

no problem oaklands! Thanks for trying to help out! I believe I have flashed to 5.1.1 alright, but for some reason I can't update. It don't seem like my modem wants to work or something. I flashed a new one and everything. Any thoughts? TIA
I am interesting also,
I have rooted EU version 1572, and cant wait for Marshmallow. Is there a solution to update from Lollipop to Marshamallow right now?

I can only tell you the only thing I did differently after returning to stock was to flash the non-hlos.bin file in fastboot a second time. I believe that is the correct file name. I am not at home to verify. That is all it took for me. I would try again. I have seen others that have repeated steps that did not work the first time to have it work the next time.
Keep in mind I am on US 1575 version but I don't see why it wouldn't work for you as long as you have the proper files. I would initially get to 15 or 20% and it would just fail with no error code.

So I'm really into Android developing, I'm always flashing and installing etc, but I got a problem now.
Phone information
LG G2 D802
Rooted
TWRP Recovery 2.7.0.0
Was running 4.4.2, found a kdz file on the internet and flashed it (no regular update from my phone)
What happenedI actually did something stupid, I received an application update from the LG Download Center (or whatever it's called) on my phone and clicked on it. I was planning on flashing Android 4.4.2 again because my firmware was not stable, and I thought this update could help me.
But no, after it finished downloading, I automatically booted into recovery.
What I didSo I tried to reboot and enter my OS, but unfortunately, I was stuck in recovery.
I did everything I could, wiping (Dalvik) cache, factory reset, flashed a new rom, restored Nandroid backup, but no, every time I booted, I got back into recovery again.
I only saw 1 option left, booting into download mode and flashing a new firmware.
I found the Netherlands 16GB kdz file for Android 4.4.2 (because I had a French one first), the one I was looking for.
Looked all over the internet, and all guides pointed me to this guide.
Tried it, but I got multiple errors, one of them was that my phone was not connected while I was at 15% of the flash process.
What happenedAfter that first flashing process, I booted up, but got a Security Error. After the Security Error was showing for 5 seconds, my phone shut down. This is happening every time I try to boot up.
I couldn't access my recovery anymore, nothing. Edit: I can access my recovery right now, and I tried this, but when I boot up I get the Security Error again.
The big problem right now is the Security Error! How do I bypass that?
So can someone please help me out!
Several phones/tablets of mine bricked and I always found a way to get out of it, but not this time, unfortunately...

Yes, I actually have. Didn't mention it, but after I did that I booted and got an LG logo and below it was a text that said 'Security Error' After like 5 seconds the security error goes away and my phone shuts down. I can only enter download mode right now.
I'll edit my first post with this info.
Thanks for the help though!
Edit: I find a way to access my recovery again because at first I couldn't but I figured out that the code in the thread you linked was a bit different than the code I entered at first.
So I used the code you gave me, but now I get the Security Error again!
Hi mate, just like you i downloaded that damn OTA today and messed up my phone, but in my case was because i had totally forgotten it was rooted and had custom recovery installed :silly::silly::silly::silly:
I followed this tutorial to fix the boot secure error http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 and it worked like a charm except for download mode wasn't working at all.
After doing some research i found this post http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...ricked-lg-g2-stuck-twrp-no-download-mode.html and got download mode (apparently) working again but Windows didn't recognize it at all so i couldn't use it to flash the .kdz stock firmware.
In the end i just flashed a custom aosp rom and got my phone back to life but the download mode issue it's still there and it's bothering me quite a lot.
Any suggestion is welcome.
EDIT: Don't download the recovery from the post, instead look for the latest version (2.7.0.0) because the one posted there (2.6.3.2) might corrupt your partitions

Thanks! But does my internal storage get whiped? Will all my pictures etc. be gone?
And the first thred removes the security error right? And after that I can just boot into recovery mode (I can boot in recovery btw) and flash a new rom? Just wanted to know this so I don't go through all that trouble for nothing
Edit: You know I can enter both download and recovery mode right?

Nope internal SD remains intact, basically what you'll be doing is pushing the right files into the system partitions and yes, in theory you should be able to flash a new rom.
Even if you can boot into recovery you should do it if you're getting that error, and after that you can just push a ROM file to flash (i'll assume you know how to do it) and btw let me know if you decide to flash a stock based rom instead of an aosp like i did.
Good luck with that :good:

i installed the drivers and the USB is connected but the pc don;t even say that the device is connected . and nothing in device manager at all
Perhaps you might consider sending it in to lg if you still have warranty. But I'd you don't, there are services on eBay/ Craigslist that can help you.

this best. because, i test all other method but my phone did not relock.
When I tried this method, phone is relocked and everything work without error.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
You are a life saver! This is the only method that worked for me after struggling for a couple of days trying to overcome errors wen I tried to flash stock and re-lock the bootloader. :good::good::good: Will this allow the OTA update and receive Motorola updates?
relock bl returns te warranty?
no. there is no reason to ever relock this phone.
So,if you want to receive Motorola OTA Updates, you only need to unroot and return to stock recovery?
Rotondo said:

No
You have to use motorola's website to get the unlock code. They know you unlocked, warranty still void.
I can't thank you enough for this thread!!! I've run through several of these and yours has been the only one to include the most recent security patch!!! You are a STAR!
Thank you for making this easy!
Awesome!
This worked beautifully, I can't thank you enough.
Update** Since using this to un soft brick my device, My bootloader seems to be in a weird place, It says "Device unlocked Status code 3". I followed directions from Motorollas site to relock boot loader nothing in ADB or Fastboot flashes. I tried re unlocking it fails. im not sure what happened. any suggestions would be great though! thanks.
THANK U!!!!
so I tried like 3 other methods to restore my xt1575 after I soft bricked it like an idiot... This was the easiest, quickest method by a long shot.... I wish I could shake ur hand sir! Thank u soooo much....
Edit : Now...it seems...my Bluetooth wont turn on....I've tried resetting network settings, clearing data under BT sharing in App Manager settings, and doing a full factory reset. Ive rebooted numerous times as well. I cannot, for the life of me , get BT to turn on! I'm about to flash TWRP, wipe, and install AICP... IDK..... has this ever happened to anyone? anyone got any idea's?

The firmware and procedure in the OP are outdated, doing any flashing via a batch file is highly frowned upon as you cannot see if any piece fails and judging from the date of the OP the firmware is out of date.
Aside from that, if just the BT isn't working, you likely need to reflash the BT firmware... it should be included in the firmware you downloaded, go to that directory and execute "fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin" to reflash the BT firmware partition. I am not sure what fastboot is included in this firmware archive, so it that fails try it as "mfastboot fastboot bluetooth BTFM.bin".
If BTFM.bin does not exist in this firmware archive, try over from scratch, look in my signature for a more up to date method of restoring stock and (optionally) relocking the bootloader.

This guide and it's files are outdated, and seems to be abandoned... look at one of the more current tutorials like the one in my signature maybe.
So I updated to G900VVRU2DPF4 and my phone was working fine until when I rebooted one of these times. Now I am getting 'Unfortunatly Sytem UI has stopped.' so I hit ok then the sreen goes blank with my homescreen wallpaper (and starts blinking from black to the wallpaper Except when I hit the lock button then It locks) and I can't do a thing. I recently turned off ADB on the phone so I can't do nothing there and I tried clear cache that did not work. I read that I need to erase the data on the system ui under setting, apps... but I can't even get into setting. I DO NOT WANT TO FACTORY RESET THE PHONE and erase all my files. There must be a way to fix it. I tried remote controlling via wifi (like with google's device manger and Samsung findmyphone) but now the phone won't connect to wifi for some reason it won't turn on. I am trying to sideload Samsung Good Lock because that might fix it also but I can't. I need help big time. When I connect it the the computer it kinda read it but I can't get files off the phone but it shows up and Unassuming Kies/Smart Switch does not work either. There must be a fix without loosing data. Help Please? :'-(
P.S. I tried adb sideload the PF4 updated in recovery and that did not fix it.

No I am not. Fully stocked. I had good lock installed before but I turned on finger unlock and good lock did not support finger unlock so it uninstalled.

Ok! Yeah my friend had a brick issue like a soft brick. And he was on stock also so he downloaded his firmware and installed it... It did not wipe his. I hope it doesn't wipe mine. My only problem is that I have fast internet but since I don't have a premium account on sammobile it will take 2 hours that why I was asking about SamFirm tool.

SamFirm ONLY allows to download the latest firmware (which is PF4), and we need PD1 :good:
If you were rooted we could have just done an "adb shell" into your phone and gotten all the data off, or simply use the built-in File Manager of Safestrap or TWRP.

I've tried rooting SM-G935U multiple times. The ENG boot image flashes fine in Odin but once it boots into the OS it reboots every 45-60 seconds. I never get to flash the root.bat
I'm thinking something has definitely changed. Others aren't reporting quite the same struggle I'm experiencing (at least not to the extent I have.) I just got this phone 2 weeks back. It came with Nougat.
Though I don't get any errors in Odin. Are you using the modified version?

No i'm using the original one from sam's mobile. I'm also on nougat. I had the same issue the first time i tried to root,got stuck in a reboot loop so i had to flash original firmware.

By modified version do you mean if it's a t-mobile device "for example" with the U firmware flashed? in that case no it's the original SM-G935U device.

I hear ya. Long process only to have it not work.
But when I asked about the firmware I meant the one you successfully rooted last. The one you posted was the same one I tried. And like I said, eng boot flashed fine but the subsequent reboot loop made it impossible to run the root.bat
My only theories are either something was changed by samsung and/or the devices that previously had M installed ARE able to be rooted.
One thing Im certain of is the new firmware does not like that engineering boot img.
But Im still holding out hope for root...

My only theories are either something was changed by samsung and/or the devices that previously had M installed ARE able to be rooted.
One thing Im certain of is the new firmware does not like that engineering boot img.
But Im still holding out hope for root...

It wasnt successful. It send me into a boot loop. Much like you. I couldn't run the root.bat file either. After that I just flashed original rom and that's it

Hey man i was wondering if you still want to root. here's what worked for me. https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...eres-how-rooted-nougat-s7-edge-g935t-t3567502 . This method works for the sm-g935u. Also xposed works as well
The only thing i could find that was wrong was that my device was a bit laggy after rooting it but i gave it some time and it's lag-free now. I'm glad i did this. The downside is there's no custom recovery but maybe we'll get one soon. Good luck

I just rooted it Sunday night but thanks for letting me know!:good:
If you could though, please tell me which version of xposed you flashed. Was it the purify os v87 sdk24 from 7/26?

I have a ATT v20 and ive been trying to root and put TWRP on it but cant seem to get into the bootloader or recovery or download mode.
Tried typing adb reboot bootloader and it just restarts the phone pretty much. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
No bootloader stock. You have to go through this procedure

I tried too but cant seem to get it to boot into download mode

@t0xicdr3am What version of the firmware is on your phone? What happens when you have the phone powered off, hold vol up and plug in the USB cable?

The only things I've been able to get it to do is display two barcode thingy screen. I got it into recovery by typing adb reboot recovery and it displays an android guy with an exclamation mark but no options. Tried to upload a screenshot but tapatalk won't let me lol.

Okay so following that tutorial he posted.. I get up to about STEP2.BAT.. Tons of static screens and Im not sure if I messed up my phone for good or not..
My phone has the H915 firmware or whatever from the KDZ.. I dumped my system so Im not sure if that saves me or not?
Also have no cellular signal..
I try following that tutorial to the T but idk what im messing up
Could really use some help guys..
Pretty much stuck on the H915 KDZ I flashed with no cellular.. Following the steps on the H910 tutorial doesnt work.. I get to past Step 1 and either Step 2 messes up or it boots into step 3 and tells me fastboot isnt a valid command or something....
Okay so I got TWRP on it.. but when I try to do anything, its like it doesnt mount system.. I try to flash the system.zip and system.img and i get unable to mount system (unknown error 150)..
Then I go to reboot recovery and it says no OS installed.. So Im assuming when I flashed the system.img it erased the OS?
Now you need to do this part to complete
Now that you are in TWRP you need to do a couple of things:

I did.. I flashed the 10m zip and flashed the system.img.. made sure not to get any mount errors..
So it flashed successfully.. rebooted system and it gave me a kernel error im assuming so I held down volume down to restart as it said and now its on the LG screen.. waiting to see if boot time just takes longer or what not and Ill report back..
But shouldnt I have data and cellular? Im on Cricket which is apart of ATT and in his post after flashing the KDZ file.. it says I should but I dont..
At this point I really dont want any root or anything.. I just want to restore my phone to a working state with cellular as I have a young son and use my phone for work and my stupid ass shouldnt of been ****ing with it from the beginning lol.. If I can get back to 10m or stock or whatever and the modem works ill be happy..
I have a full dump from that one step.. Will that help me revert these changes back? How do I go abouts using the DUMP to restore?
Sorry.. never used a dump before.. If it'll even work
Okay so no luck.. maybe TWRP didnt give me an error but when I went to reinstall the files again because i waited 10 mins.. it gave me the unable to mount system unknown error 150.. any ideas?
If you have a Cricket H910 it may be different than an normal H910.
Did you take a dump of your firmware before rooting? It is an optional step, but I hope you did.

I did but have no idea how to restore it using the files it pushed onto my computer.. It isnt a cricket H910.. Its an ATT H910.
Side note, good morning Brian.. Been waiting for you lol
Is there anyway one of you guys can point me into the direction of using the DUMP to restore whatever I can?

When I go to flash the system.zip and .img it erases system completely and then I get the unable to mount system (unknown error 150)
Im pretty sure this all has to do with the encryption.. When I go to format data, it cant mount storage.. When I finally get it to format; and I flash the system.zip and .img i get the unable to mount system..
I dont even want root anymore.. I just want to know how to use my DUMP to fix my phone if its possible?
If it is an AT&T H910 then there is a thread, linked to in the post about rooting that will get you back to stock.
However, I warn you, if you can't make this work, then the chance of you restoring to stock are not good.
I can tell from the posts / PMs that you made, that you didn't read the entire post before trying to root.
You have asked questions that are answered right in the post.
