I just bought a 820u and was wondering if rooting Marshmallow with the expanded storage activated will be harmful to my phone..
I have asked valid questions in these forums and no one answers me.. is it just me??
If you tend to root in MM theoretically this should not make your adopted storage "harm" your phone. Only if you have mis-handled it will result in that. Maybe you can have a better answer by asking in the Super SU forum.

You said you were on MM to get external storage as adopted but now you say you are on KK? I dont understand this time.
when i first posted my phone was in the mail and i was hoping for an ota mm but that didn't happen so i am stuck on kit kat.. but i finally got a recovery TWRP installed with a little hassle.. now i don't know what to do with it because it isn't allowing me to mount my sdcard so i can flash a ROM and my 4G still isn't working.. i just got ahead of myself with the first post.. sorry
Did you try reformatting the SD card as exFAT or FAT32 on PC and put it back into the phone? Does it work?

Hi,
I'm a newbie of this gorgeous forum, i've heard of it many times and so, i decided definitely to create an account.
I Have a Nexus 4, 4.4.2 kitkat with the Build KOT49H and about 2 weeks ago i've accidentally deleted, in explorer, 2,95gb mic records files of the program easyvoice recording. They were very important to me, so i stopped using the phone to avoid the overwrite of the hidden/deleted files.
I tried with two methods:
1) Hexamob File Recovery PRO [NEEDS ROOT] , i haven't got root never on my nexus, so the bootloader isn't unlocked too. I can't unlock it because it will wipe all the memory involving the data folders making a total format like the hard reset does. You could say: Backup it?
It isn't so easy, the files that i've deleted are hidden by the memory in the phone (this is why i'm trying to recover it...), unless i'll download or overwrite it putting other files on it, they will certanly be unrecoverable. I stopped using my telephone in order to find a solution to my problem.
So, i've forgot this way to recover my files, and the mean question i ask to you is: Can i root my device in order to use Hexamob without the wipe process?
2) Recuva, Dr Fone Wondershare for Android, Data Recovery, Restoration... ecc ecc
I even tryied to use Windows Softwares such as the mentioned above. But... "luckily" for me, how you should know, many Nexus upgraded with 4.4.2 reports bugs with cable connection with PCs.
Example: when i try to copy all the pictures to windows it give me strange errors ("The library, drive, or media pool is empty.") and i have to copy one to one files per time.
So all the softwares doesn't find the "Nexus 4 MASS STORAGE". I've tried reinstalling automatically and manually drivers many times. Nothing work.
I've only three possibilities to return to use my nexus. Or i wait a google update in order to solve the cable connection bugs, or i wait in april a Dr Fone Wondershare for Android Software Update release compatible with 4.4.2, or i ask to you, my only concrete salvation.
Thanks a lot to all. Really.
Hate to tell you this, but you're sol. You're unlocked, unrooted, and you can't mount the device as a drive letter on the pc. I'd check with the app that's going to be updated in April, but I'm guessing it's not going to work anyway. Let them know you have a nexus 4, I don't think it can do usb mass storage

Subject:Android 4.4.2 for Nexus 4
I have a Nexus 4 with Android 4.4.2 and recently i've deleted very important files and i tryed to use Wondershare for Android to recover it.
It can't well notice my phone because after the second step, it begins by analyzing and at 20% say "The model isn't recognised" and it stop working by restarting the phone.
Please, can you release a version of this software compatible with NEXUS 4 with Android 4.4.2 ?
It is very important for me, i can't use it unless you do it..
Thanks, really thanks, you could save me!

How you've read they didn't mentioned about NEXUS 4 with 4.4.2, but i think the understood. I'm going to write another email in order to point out "specifying" that i'm using NEXUS 4.
Are you sure, i haven't no other solutions...? :crying:
Thanks..
I don't think so if you're not rooted. I'm trying out Dr fone for my own education, but I'm rooted and it seems to be working. It'll take awhile and I might try it unrooted too. I'll let you know what I find out.

If you're rooted it works better than I expected it to. But as you know, if you're not rooted it doesn't work. It's asking for usb mass storage which asfaik the nexus 4 doesn't support. I don't think even the update will be able to get around that limitation sorry

Or can you suggest me what i should wait to solve my problem? Maybe DooMLoRD or other developer will release a toolik that will be able to root without unlock the 4.4.2 in 2-3 moths maybe, isn't it possible?
so i'll take my file....
Other solutions? There aren't?

Any root method involves unlocking the bootloader first. As you know that wipes your device. If there were away to get around that it would have already been done

After rooting I337UCUFNI1, my S4 randomly shows up an error message:
"unable to detect SIM card".
The frequency is at least once per day.
So I brought my phone back to ATT warranty department.
They flashed a stock 4.4.2 ROM.
Then this problem never happens again..
Not sure if that is about the kernel flash thing or not.
How did you root that build number? I was rooted then my phone done an ota update and now towel root doesn't work anymore. So far I don't see anyway to do it. Please let me know what you used . Thanks

I didn't skip any steps in the original thread.
Do you have an Amazon app? they may cause SIM problems
So, I was going to use Cf-Auroroot like I have for every other Samsung device I've got but apparently there's an issue with it for the N915G.
What I did was put the latest super su file (i used v2.40) on my external SD card and then in Odin flash the latest TWRP recovery from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993 (you can also use the sd card fix from here too, flash in TWRP, just install supersu, then add another flash file and install the sd card fix).
Go to recovery mode and flash super su.
I found it had an error flashing cache but a factory reset fixed this so best done BEFORE setting everything up.
Let phone reset, set it up and you now have root access with a clean install of stock rom.
Happy days.
This worked fine for me and left out the step of flashing CF-Autoroot which wasn't needed.
You will still trip Knox.
I don't know if this will work flawlessly for you or for all models, especially if the bootloader is locked, but theoretically it should.
Good luck guys, happy flashing.
And HAPPY NEW YEAR...:laugh:

You should not have many issues with 5.0.1. What you need to do after flashing the 5.0.1...you need to reset to factory setting. Im sure by now you know when upgrading..you still keep data from the kitkat. This may cause conflict and issues. At the moment the only issue i had is sometime i get that contact closed notifications. I have google this issue...seem like it happen to other phones to with early 5.0.1. For me im ok...cause it only happen very rarely...i hope a much later lollipop will fix this issues.

Got my SM-915G, and got it rooted and TWRP installed following you method. It is working with AT&T and I am getting LTE data speeds, but it is struggling on voice network. hardly any bars are visible on the signal strength icon.
Is there any solution?

Possibly flashing the modem and non-HLOS.bin for AT&T.
I can't really say as I live in Oz and have no problems with voice calls...
I do find that my bars don't tend to go over 3 or more than halfway but that could be due to where I live and the crappy coverage we get here... No problem with voice calls though...
I am not sure if I can install SM-N915A modem on 915G.
Can someone confirm if that is possible, if so, what version?
tell me one thing is xposed framework and freedom app now working on note edge 915G lollipop
Nope. Better stick with Kitkat if you intend to use Freedom and Xposed.

Dude my son is with my wife. I will get her to send me a photo if possible. I have been a member of the XDA developer Community for years since the HTC Evo 4G. Trust me when I say my son's phone has the update to marshmallow it has. I did the update for him myself it has Android 6.0.1. The service provided for his phone is T-Mobile. Remember Alcatel sells this phone through AT&T Cricket line so I'm quite sure they have a real serious reason to update this model especially since it is now sold by a nationwide service provider.

In order to root the Idol 3 we had to unlock the bootloader,install TWRP and then flash SuperSU.

I even with thru the Developer and selected/unselected/reselected it and my laptop still won't see it. All I see is a file with drivers. I haven't rooted, and won't, my phone. Any suggestions out there on how to fix this? BTW when updating to Android 6.0.1 it made me format my SD card, so I lost all my music but thought it wasn't a big deal since I'd upload it back to my phone, but now I can't.

The root and the twrp worked grwat for two days - then something died in my phone. I sent it back to ZTE and they determined the best course of action was to replace it (fully covered RMA job). Since they decided to replace it I guess the problem with my phone wasn't software so I seriously doubt tenfar's root solution was to blame.

Oh yes, rooted my desire eye and flashed a couple roms.
ok - if you have any questions after reading the instructions the best advise I can give you is to wait. ZTE states they are currently working on posting the A2017U full factory images online. That is supposed to be the failsafe - if something goes wrong you flash that. If things seem straight forward to you then go for it. Lots of people have used it successfully - it worked great for me until I had hardware failure, and I doubt tenfar's root caused it

Just be careful. I got problem with data encrypted when booting to TWRP, but you can flash XPOSED from flashfire.
