I have a verizon note 4, I have unlock bootloader and using kingo root to root. I am trying to install twrp with odin, odin wants a tar file, the twrp file for this phone is an .img file. How do I get twrp installed?
thanks!
I recommend rooting with CF-Auto Root
& btw, Latest .tar twrp for N4 Verizon is here : https://dl.twrp.me/trltevzw/twrp-2.8.7.0-trltevzw.img.tar.html

Ohh sorry, it was a verizon retail note 4. purchased about when they were released. I used the kingoroot method (PC one). It was a little quirky and would not always work, I would have to reboot phone, get it rooted using the app then follow the steps to continue on with unlocking the boot loader etc.

I'll have to give the PC one a shot. Nice to know it's worked for someone. I've really missed root.

Just unlock your bootloader and flash a new ROM on your phone. Most of the ROMs available for our phone have that update or better already on the ROM.

Thanks, but I don't want to take the route of custom ROMs, sorry.
I had to unlock my bootloader first using RSDlite and the small .sbf file (pudding.rar) Click here to download
My bootloader was supposed to be already unlocked but I guess the updated firmware didn't realize it. I couldn't run fastboot flash without getting an error
I then rooted by flashing preinstall.img and running commands to install the superuser binary and .apk. Instructions here
I don't know of a way to root 4.5.141 without unlocking the bootloader first. If you find a way let me know

It's kind of a "Been there, done that" kind of thing from my Win Mob days. lol
I am pefectly happy with stock Atrix ROMs, and just want to be able to retain root or re root to use a couple of apps like Titanium Backup.
Has anyone with an unlocked bootloader/rooted Atrix tried the update?
I like to stick with the stock rom for now but I haven't found directions for updating to 141 yet. I'd like to keep root and not hard brick my Atrix...After the 2nd time Moto might get suspicious
I wasn't able to use the OTA updates once I rooted (even before I unlocked my bootloader). Of course, that could be Bell building in a check. I even tried unrooting (using GingerBreak) and that still wouldn't allow me to use an OTA update.
I would think you'll have to root, unlock bootloader, and then flash an firmware file from this tread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125944.
Actually, you're right in that the OTA update will probably fail without me going to a more "out of the box" state. I suppose I'd have to first create a nandroid, a titanium backup then flash my phone with a 4.5.91 stock image using fastboot, do the OTA, then re-root, and restore the titanium backup to get back to where I was. And if anything fails restore from my nandroid.
Does that sound right?
I've heard there could be issues relating to going back to a locked bootloader file. So I'm not sure on specifics there. I just run CyanogenMod to avoid all that stuff.

preinstall fastboot method works on a locked bootloader...at least it does for me (locked, rooted and on 141).

So...in fastboot mode, you were able to run fastboot flash preinstall preinstall.img and thus successfully create the "preinstall\" partition with the necessary files on your phone without getting an error message???
My bootloader was unlocked long ago but I still couldn't flash the preinstall partition without running the pudding unlock .sbf first. Idk
I wasn't even able to boot into fastboot without unlocking the bootloader first.

yep, followed all of the steps and every one is successful. I'm very risk-averse when it comes to messing with my phone, so I've never unlocked my phone. Only root.
I love how no one is answering your question just telling you to unlock your bootloader...
I downloaded the ota update, installed and got failed to boot 4 starting rsd node.. i had unlocked bootloader before update help please!! I pulled the battery for now.

look up how to use ODIN and TWRP, sounds like you shouldn't be playing with root if you dont have a grasp of basic flashing.
Be careful.. I rooted a Verizon note 3 for a buddy the other day, fired up rom manager, flashed a recovery and soft bricked the phone. Locked bootloader... Had to odin back to stock to fix it.

fui i go5t it i forgot about odin to load twrp thanks for the info
Hello!
I want to finally install a custom rom for my phone (GT-I9301I) but to do that I want to install TWRP. Every tutorial on how to install TWRP just use odin and phone in download mode despite the fact that in a lot of places it is said that you need to have an unlocked bootloader to flash a custom recovery. (Also in CF-auto root webpage it is stated that bootloader needs to be unlocked). But do I really need to unlock the bootloader (yes, I am new to this) to flash a custom recovery when using Odin? And after the TWRP is installed I can just use CF auto root and then install the ROM, right?
I would greatly appreciate your help !
Thanks in advance,
TheKiloOhm
I'm pretty sure, that S3Neo+ has an unlocked bootloader.
There is a way to flash a recovery without a PC. Use Flashify just from the Play Store.

Is there a way I can check it? When I boot into recovery it doesn't show anything about lock/unlock state.

Well.. Try booting to download mode. (Vol. and center button down on boot). If you want to root you should download custom recovery. I recommend TWRP.
Ok, first of all..
I AM REALLY HAPPY SOMEONE MENTIONED THIS AT LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAST
Now.. I have this device.. and mine is bootloader locked
our s3ve3g is definitely locked...
and I tried to flash TWRP using ODIN and I ended up looping (Read)
So Take Care ...
Been trying to find a way to unlock this thing for a while now... will post my findings here or on my blog if I ever find anything
Edit: Did I mention that some variants of our specific device are locked and some are not !!
and I can't figure out the difference...
Found this
and it pointed me to this
but I don't have time to test now...
OK... I think I found the answer...
According to IanWorthington
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=66377330#post66377330
FIXED: This TWRP requires 4.4.4. It does NOT work on 4.3.
Samsug bidn't lock bootloader for s3 neo i have a i9301i and i can do anything with it recoevry root vustom rom kernel flashing. ANYITHING. So i think it deneds on serial nunber or something
To begin. My device, as mentioned in the title, is the Samsung Galaxy J3 sm-J320W8 running Android 7.1.1.
I tried to root it with the CF-Auto-Root. I matched all the info as needed, that being Model number and android version, and continued with the root as you normally would with Oden. After Oden says it passes. My device reboots, but instead of going into recovery and installing SuperSU it gives me the "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" error at the top left of the screen. It then reboots once again and the phone starts as normal so thankfully I didn't break anything. But SuperSU was not installed and my device remains unrooted. I did notice that the SuperSU zip was transferred to my SD card though.
Does anyone know what the problem is? Hopefully with a solution as well.

Looking back over some posts it seems it was unclear whether this device has a locked bootloader or not.
I never actually got a real confirmation.

From what I can tell in that thread since I have seen it prior to posting this one they have yet to have any confirmed rooting methods. And the j320w8 rooted boot file from what I remember is the one that soft bricked my device last time. I can try again though. I have a backup and recovery image so it's not a big deal if I get soft bricked again.
I could also check if there is a way to unlock the bootloader on my device... If that's even a thing. I'm still trying to learn what some of this stuff means.

I seem to have run into an Issue. I reinstalled Android 6.0.1 successfully and set up my device. Made sure that it was J320w8VLU2AQA1 and confirmed it through the about section.
Then I flashed the rooted boot that you linked. Oden showed success and my device rebooted as normal. But... My phone started as if nothing happened. No SuperSU installed and when I go into recovery mode it just has the basic Android Recovery. No TWRP.

It's not TWRP its a rooted boot image.
Install the Superuser app from the Play store and hopefully you should have root priveledges.
After installing, open the Superuser app and report back its status.

Glad its worked for you. :good: You MAY be able to update to Nougat by flashing the stock firmware with FLASHFIRE.
Just ensure EverRoot is enabled.

huge thanks for @jrkruse @klabit87 and others were involved in this, as you know S7 family phones don't have unlocked bootloader, this just allow to root the phone and then use flashfire to get custom ROM with the root.
