LG G STYLO Users READ HERE Before Trying to Root + KDZ Files

Hi everyone, little update here we have Root for either 5.0.2 or 5.1.1.
If you still on LP 5.0.2 you can safely root your Device using LG One Click Root or Kingroot and if you are using T-mobile (H631) or Metro (MS631) you can safely flash Custom Recovery (TWRP 2.8.7.0 Thanks @Unjustified Dev) and flash the LP 5.1.1 Flashable ZIP (thanks @GameTheory )
NOTE: There is no Custom Recovery for Boost Variant neither KDZ file yet.
NOTE 2: If you take the OTA or Update using LG Software (Tmo and Metro) you'll get LOCK Bootloader but no wories there after Rooting using new 5.1.1 Method you can safely Unlock Bootloader by going under "Developers Options" and check " Enable OEM Unlock " and flash Custom Recovery using Flashify (THIS ONLY WORKS FOR T-MOBILE AND METRO)
NOTE 3: if you are on LP 5.0.2 or LP 5.1.1 just go CLICK HERE to Root, Install Custom Recovery and/or get Flashable LP 5.1.1 Update

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS IS IMPORTANT/ WARNING.
I recommend using the KDZ file is if your Device is UNRECOVERABLE, Reason why b'cuz once you restore your phone using this KDZ you'll loose having the Bootloader Unlock and ability to Root so TAKE THIS AS LAST RESOURCE.
NOTE : This Process Will WIPE your device including device internal storage. (External SDCard are safe)

I used the LG bridge to bring back from a soft brick. I clicked on the update error recovery.
I guess another method to recover. If anyone needs it.

That's good to know....have question for you:
1- will this process doesn't update you device if you are on 5.0.2 to 5.1.1?
2. Were you root? Or trying to root?
3. What happend when you got soft-brick?

1- will this process doesn't update you device if you are on 5.0.2 to 5.1.1?- correct it processes the update to 5.1.1 if there is an error when you root you can use it but will get locked boot loader. Which is better then a dead phone.
2. Were you root? Or trying to root? I was on 5.1.1 tried kingroot got a soft brick.
3. What happend when you got soft-brick?

it only booted up to lg screen and stayed there. However the lg bridge was able to recognize the phone and preform the recovery.
I called T-Mobile and complained of issues withphone and got a warranty exchange $5 received my phone yesterday it was on 5.0.2 running CM 12 by Unjustified... Its smooth.

well i can verify that none of the LG tools work for the Boost variant and still no KDZ file

I accepted the OTA to 5.1.1 on my Stylo, is there a way to root it at all? been searching all over and found nothing hopefully a root method and bootloader unlock method for us running 5.1.1 will be avilable. thanks again for the info!
Luis

If you are still within warranty called T-Mobile complain of software issues

The updates as of now seem to lock the bootloader even on T-MOBILE...and for me all the Boost devices I've owned were either unlocked or had a workaround but not this one :/

When recover using KDZ (latest version) does lock the Bootloader, but with T-mobile and Metro can be easy unlock by just checking OEM Unlock un developers option , Boost and other variant don't have this luxury of Unlocking Bootloader.

Bricked Samsung Galaxy Prime Cricket version SM-G530AZ

Hello everyone! I am new and a noob here. I have upgraded to a 5.1.1 Lollipop firmware. My phone was still carrier locked so I started looking up threads on the internet on how to unlock it for free, and came across a kingroot then region unlock solution. I used kingroot then downloaded supersu and installed that. After it finished installing, it said a reboot was necessary so I rebooted. Upon rebooting it said custom in the bootlogo then popped up with a big triangle that said Security Error: This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software & is locked. Call your mobile operator for additional support.
After much tinkering with installing Odin and downloading firmwares, I am still in the same boat. I believe this may be because I (stupidly) enabled reactivation lock because it sounded helpful in case my phone was stolen. This is now locking the firmware down and every time I try to install a stock firmware (4.4.4 or 5.0.2 as these are the only ones available on Sammobile for the SM-G530H) it says r/l enabled cannot install kernel without r/l or something to that effect. That is why I think the reactivation lock is messing me up. It also doesn't help that I upgraded to 5.1.1, as I believe that makes it harder to install a stock firmware, especially an older one.
Thanks for reading and if anyone knows anything that can help, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you.

bumpity bump bump..
anybody?

this is what happens when you try to replace king user/king root with supersu. same thing happened to me, totally bricked. And I didn't backup first
Never found a way to restore it, so I sent it to samsung and got another one, backed it up, and did king root, and manually switched to supersu.

how did you send it to them and they fix it? i figure they wouldn't help because it was a user error in which you tried to flash which voids warranty or whatever /:

I fixed these phone all day for the same exact problem. Call me 347-210-8466 and I will tell you where to ship the phone and have it repair and shipped back to you in 24hr. For only $45.00 return ship is free.

No need to pay to get phone fixed. Follow this post. Somewhere along the flash, it will display message that kies is not compatible with phone, click ok and it will finish flashing. I just did this yesterday on my son's phone.

Hey, I have the G530AZ my phone works normally with a few exceptions. I can NOT update SuperSU I have a Custom Status due to Rooting with Odin with G530H. I used an app and now when I reboot or power my phone on I have to reboot a 2nd time from the recovery screen. If I plug my phone in it powers up and the same thing happens if I update using Kies3 in the mentioned post will it work and be okay?

I'm thinking your issue is with the kernel not recognizing the firmware. You need to flash the original kernel for the G530AZ.

Yes and No.. You have to be able to boot to use Keis ...
Though it is actually preferred to use the original Cricket software for the G530AZ.

The procedure I posted above will flash your phone back to pure stock, like it would be out of the box. Only thing would be, that it flashes the most current update. When I got the phone, it was already on 5.1.1 and this is what Kies downloaded and flashed.

Yes, comprehensive instructions would be good to have, which files go in what slots in Odin. I have used Odin before, but with a single file. Been so long since I have used it though.

I believe the problem is that people are flashing firmwares for the incorrect model. If I am understanding correctly, this is a thread for the Cricket Wireless version of the Grand Prime, model SM-G530AZ. If you are flashing firmwares for the 530H, you are bound to have problems.
Here is a link for both the KitKat and Lollipop stock firmwares for the G530AZ. Hope it helps.

Stock lollipop ROM for Yoga 2 830 LC

I successfully updated from Kitkat to Lollipop on my Lenovo 830LC tablet.
Two further OTA updates also took well.
But the third OTA update today ended up with my tab getting stuck at the boot animation with the boot sound cut off near the end.
I tried factory reset from recovery but still no good.
Can anyone help me with an official stock Lollipop ROM for this model to flash again?
I have a stock Kitkat ROM but I shouldn't flash that as the bios has updated to the Lollipop bios.

I am facing the same issue. After OTA update, my tablet got stuck on bootloader.
Pls help on how to flash lollipop ROM?

I had the same issue with my 830F. After some research I found the ROMs in the russian Lenovo forums: lenovo-forums.ru/forum/398-yoga-tablet-2-8-%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%88%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%BA%D0%B8/
I used the "(L) ОС 5.0" ROM for my device as this seems to be the ROM to flash from Lollipop to Lollipop.
The download also contains a tool to flash the ROM, but I had to edit the flash.xml because the system.img is to big:
change "fastboot flash system" to "fastboot -S 1G flash system"
I hope this works for you, too.

Any ideas how to go back to kitkat bios so that I can flash the kitkat ROM?

It looks pretty similar to my case. The download I linked also contains the USB drivers to get the device recognized by ADB/fastboot.
If the flash tool then finds your device I would give it a try.

Well you can try without the change, maybe it works for you. I got an error while flashing because of the large file size. The "-S 1G" just tells fastboot to flash the file in chunks of 1GB.

Wow! Thanks @Funatiq
It worked, I flashed a Lollipop ROM from the Russian link you pointed out and with the edit to the flash.xml as you advised.
I'm back to a working tab once again.
Thanks a lot.

I love you so much @Funatiq !!!
I had the exact same issue than @penlax and you saved my tablet !
A big THANK YOU

thanks
Same issue. You help me a lot. Thanks guys! :good:

[TWRP] [Recovery] [E6553] Xperia Z3+ Flashable recovery

Hello, guys.
Today I made a full working, flashable TWRP 3.0 recovery for our single SIM device. But do you still need it? Cause I made it for personal use, and if you do - I can post it here. Just need your answer. Thx!
MotexT

Great, please upload it! Does it work with marshmallow? Just flash it in flashtool? And is it hotbootable as well?

Yes please post it!!

Yeah please upload it. I am eagerly waiting for it.

But rather put it into the development section then. And a question... What do you think about building cm for this device?

So, as soon as I finish some test for DualSim version - will post it here. Need also some help with thread creating - it will be first time when I create a new Dev thread on XDA, so I need to respect all stuff like credits, devs, license etc. PM me who can help.

Will start CM development a bit later, waiting an answer from my Z5 Dev-buddies, who will help. Stay tuned!

Guys from 4pda forum tested my recovery for both, and looks lije both work properly. So will post it here. Who don't want to wait for thread - PM me, will send direct link for download and instructions.

Guide for installing TWRP with link to download
Inside my Drive Folder head to Recovery folder and then download either twrp1 for SingleSim or twrp2 for DualSim
Drive Folder
Guide for installing​
Put twrp1.img/twrp2.img to Fastboot folder
Hold Shift and then right click on tge window
Then "Open command line here"
In command line write "fastboot flash recovery twrp1.img/twrp2.img
Connect your phone holding Vol+ button
A blue LED will light up for a while, you will receive "Done or Ok" in command line
After that disconnect your phone abd turn it on
And when yellow LED will appear on Sony logo, press Vol+ one time
Soon you will enter the recovery main menu
twrp1.img for SingleSim and twrp2.img for DualSim respectively
This recovery doesn't have to be reflashed or rehotbooted - this is FOTA one, it will rest untill you reflash FOTA partition

Do I need to be rooted to do this? I have dual sim not locked bootloader and not rooted.

To root your phone flash custom kernel from This thread. Then flash my recovery (still uploading DualSim version, wait 5 min), and through recovery flash latest SuperSu binary and DRM Restore (for recover lost functions after unlocking Bl).

Really really awesome, I'm so happy the device finally gets some love! Should be just as well be flashed via flashtool, right?
Edit: oh and I'm really excited that you're trying to port cm

You can flash a custom kernel from another thread by using Flashtool. But to flash the recovery you need to use Fastboot. Maybe after I will merge kernel with recovery into one flashable unit, but I need some time to figure out how to do that. Stay tuned, cheers!

Excuse me, how can do that DRM Restore? I unlocked my BL long time ago without any Backups...
And one more thing, there is any Xposed version for the dual vers E6533?
Thanks a lot.

Yep, you can use the latest Xposed Framework (SDK 23). And about DRM Restore - just flash attached file and be happy. Cheers! ?

Can I flash the drmrestore onto a fully running system or does it have to be applied before first boot after rom install?

Am very thankful for all your help and knowledge, my resume is this:
- kernel flashed OK
- TWRP 2 launched OK
- SuperSU flashed OK
- drmrestore flashed OK (at this point I really start appreciate for the first time after months my device)
- Installed Xposed OK
Everything looking so good, I get some time installing lot of things... then I decided to make a Wipe cache / dalvik and unfortunately I get stuck at the boot screen.
Does you recommend anything?

Cant boot up. PLEASE HELP!

So i had a custom rom on my tablet T530NU. Went to change ROMs and I forgot to back up, and everything was wiped...and i mean everything! I can get it to bootup to a basic recovery screen. But ODIN doesn't recognize my device. Tried to use KIES and still nothing. Anything I load onto my sdcard i can't load from the recovery. Although i am able to sideload thru ADB. But i keep getting the same error of
E: footer is wrong
E: signature verification failed.
Any suggestions.

Did you try to flash stock firmware. Am I right? If yes, try to flash the 4-pieces one

Then, do a flash of a 4 parts firmware, with odin. In that way, you are sure that you start with not messed up partitions or software. Ah, and I remember you that firmware must be based on Lollipop, not Kitkat.

Flash 4 parts stock firmware, then twrp and then one ROM at your choice with Android version between 9 and 11.

I cannot download stock firmware from SAMMOBILE beacuse stock firmware is archived and I am not premium user... Can somebody downloded for me if you have premium acc... Or if there is any other site for original rom to download.

Use this program and you'll get automatically the 4 parts firmware. Probably pit file could miss, but it shouldn't be a problem in your case

No I'm not a God, I'm just a little knowledged. When I was a "noob", I read a lot around forums and web pages. And later, of course, after getting some experience with different devices. You're welcome, by the way.
