Has anyone figured out how to get rid of the sprint boot up screen?

And I believe you have to have a kernel that supports custom boot animations.

[Q] Upgrading from 4.2 to 4.4

My Google powers are wearing out, so I figure I will ask directly.
I am currently rooted, running the stock ROM on my L720. The android version is 4.2.2 and the build is JDQ39.L720VPUAMDL. I want to upgrade to 4.4, but I want to either keep it rooted or be able to reroot the phone.
Currently I can turn on my Hotspot with no additional app. I want to be able to continue using my phone as a HS. This is essential. A functionality my phone doesn't have is the ability to move apps to SD.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. (And I'm sure this question is asked a thousand times a day, but google and search are failing me ) Thank you so much!

Odin NAE tar, root, flash hotspot mod. Done.

Also this will give you Knox. If you don't want Knox there is a thread to keep your older bootlaoder

Is this like Sprint's android version of herpes?
I admit that I am a bit confused. Do I need to unroot my phone before I do this? I hate asking for help, but I really don't want to screw up my hotspot

Hahah it can be compared to that , although I swear I wouldn't know.
To understand Knox, Google it and read up on it. Its just a Samsung warranty /security thing. Most of us don't care having it or tripping the Knox flag.

You don't need to unroot to Odin a tar file.

If he's on OC4, then he can Odin back to NCG and root from there and flash any VZW S5 TouchWiz ROM that he'd like. Following the OP's instructions of course. I got this S5 on the OC4 version and haven't "officially" updated to newer versions yet. Just update the proper "flashable" firmware as needed for the ROM I'm running
I'm not sure but the new root method that JrKrsue has developed is for one's that are on OE1 and up. Due to those were the one's that were unable to gain root. I could be wrong but if you're on OD5 and below, you can get root by Odin back to NCG. Please feel free to chime in if I'm wrong or mistaken

I have used jrkruse method to root Boc4 also there are two different methods now for rooting as I will never go beyond bod5 on the bootloader so I will always have the choice to go back to 100% kit kat witch includes kit kat bootloader

Just Rooted 5.0/Jasmine, now I wanna go back.

The Jasmine mod makes it so I cannot play the only game I use this phone for. How do I go about removing the Jasmine mod completely so I can return to my game? I'm downloading the OB6 stock firmware and I plan on flashing that with Odin in a minute. Will that do the trick?

Yes. But need to update to 0F1

is that possible to root Zenfone 2 Laser ze550kl(ZOOL) marshmallow latest firmware?

I'm using ZOOL ZE550kl device with ww_21.40.1220.1877_20160902 build. Is there any root exploit that can be done on this phone. I guess unlocking bootloader too is tough on this version. Any ideas?

There are thousands of people on here with rooted unlocked 550kl's. You should probably learn to search before asking. Reading is essential and will save you a lot of time in the long run. To get you started here's 2 links. Both of which are in the same forum as your posted question. Good luck. Many people will help you if you need it within those threads.

You have to download the full zip file and unzip it to get the system file.

The difference is that the files in the mega link are prerooted. When you flash the prerooted system.img then it roots your phone. Once you have a rooted device then you can follow the bootloader unlocker thread and within 10+ minutes you'll be unlocked. After unlocking you can flash TWRP recovery and any ROM for your device.

Have you done what you claim? It's funny all the developers on here say it's impossible.

There is an official ASUS unlocking tool that I know for a fact doesn't work for everyone. It didn't work on mine after trying many times. That's why the unlocking method I'm describing above was created. There was a whole lot of work that went into those methods by a lot of really smart people. I don't think they would've done all that if it was just as easy as flashing TWRP and SuperSU.
