this is because of unlocking process (with HTCdev method) not the rooting process itself, I lost some stock app after unlocking then i did rooting my phone with this method (mike1986 method), without losting any stock app excluding the apps that i already lost before.
and it is logic because unlocking procedure include wiping step that erase all the phone (that include the /data path that contains the personal apps which is not present in the original RUU that will be installed during the last steps of unlocking procedure by HTCdev site.
but the rooting procedure is only injection method without wiping
thanks

hi there to all experts,
recently i have got a 2nd hand flyer(bought from singapore, due to a sticker name "singtel") for my parents as a gift(it's free, so...)
what i want to do now is:
1. to erase all apps and data, just to make it look like newly bought Just do a factory reset. I'd be surprised if this was not already done by the previous owner, all their user data would still be intact!
2. to root What hboot version are you on? As long as your hboot version is compatible, you should be able to do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194709
Downgrade to GB required if you are on stock HC.
3. to install a custom rom on to it, i got a recommandation rom --- LeeDrOiD_Flyer_HC_V4.3.0.zip, already downloaded
i have run through the forum for advice and tutorial,
but i'm not expert to programing, so don't understand many programing language, No programming language is needed. Usually anyone that can follow directions, and has some familiarity with computers can get S-off and root. But some of the terms (jargon) may be new to you.
1.i'm in hc flyer 3g+wifi, do i need to downgrade to gb to gain root and flash custom rom? Yes. You need to do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307759
Then this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194709
2.can i flash a custom rom on stock hc after i have root it? You need to have S-Off or unlocked bootloader
3.what is s-off? and how do i get it? S-Off means all security is off. It means you can flash ROMs, kernels, radios. With an unlocked bootloader, you can flash ROMs, but not kernels and radios.
4.can flyer do a phone call? i see some treat say it can but some say no Should be able to just fine. There are custom ROMs that support it, and I believe a separate mod for it in Development. But I've never used this function myself.
5.which steps should i take the best to install a custom rom:
----i'm in hc flyer---->s-off----->root----->install cwm----->install custom rom?
or
----i'm in hc flyer----->s-off----->root----->downgarde to gb----->install cwm----->install custom rom?
Neither. You can't S-Off from HC.
Downgrade to GB>S-Off>Install CWM>root>install custom ROM.
6.is hc like ics, which mean if u do a full wipe, u'll brick ur device? What do you mean by "full wipe"? You can wipe data, cache, Dalvik and system just fine on HC or ICS. Altering hboot may brick the device, but that goes with any Android version.

Your hboot versions is unfortunately not supported by globatron's S-Off method that I linked.
You can take a look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881748
But I personally have no experience with it.
In short, you should be able to unlock the bootloader via HTCDev.com, install CWM, and flash SU to get root.
[Thread Ended, Forum Master Please Delete it, TQ for all the support
With the bootloader unlocked and custom recovery (CWM) installed, you can flash custom ROMs. Only difference with unlocked bootloader versus true S-Off, is that you have to extract the boot.img file from the ROM zip, and flash it separately using fastboot (Flyer connected to your PC).
Thread Ended, Forum Master Please Delete it, TQ for all the support
That all sounds right.
With the addition of:
5) Extract boot.img from custom ROM zip file.
6) Flash boot.img using fastboot
As already mentioned, I didn't have to go the bootloader unlock method, as I have full S-Off. But this is my understanding from what I've read, and flashing ROMs on my HTC One X phone is similar.

NOOOOO. It doesn't work that way. Just because you had your question answered, does not mean that you delete all the content and ask the mods to delete the thread.
Others may have the same question, and might benefit from your thread. This way, people can just look for an existing answer, instead of having to post new threads to ask the same questions over and over again.
What could have been a useful post for others, is now useless.
Really, WTF???? Why did you do this???? Its not just about you, dude.
Im sorry if this has been answered in other threads im simply trying to help a friend out with rooting and possibly unlocking the boot loader? Can someone point me in the rite direction? It would be most appreciated
I would check the Verizon LG G3 forums where there are many instances of your questions having been already thoroughly answered.
What you will find is that you must be on v10b firmware, which you can downgrade to using either the .kdz or the .TOT method, then you can root v10b (only) with StumpRoot, or ioRoot, or PurpleDrake, before the phone updates back to v12b. With SuperSu in survival mode root can be retained through either of the current OTA updates (which provide very little enhancement beyond patching root exploits), so far, and with root you can install a specially modified TWRP recovery which will allow the flashing of unsigned kernels and roms.
There. You are on your own from hete on.

use flashify to install the bumped version of twrp (get it from the original development section). Worked like a charm. Plenty of bumped roms to grab in the dev section.

There is no unlocking of the bootloader. Bumping doesn't unlock the bootloader. However, it fools the phone into allowing the flashing of custom ROMs and kernels without unlocking the bootloader. Basically, the phone "believes" that whatever is being flashed (via TWRP) is acceptable and allows the image to pass the "security check" that is done when flashing. It's the same thing as IF the bootloader were unlocked, but in reality, it isn't unlocked. It's a security exploit, kind of like rooting this phone is a security exploit.
However, a quick OTA patch from Verizon or LG could make either or both no longer work. In fact, some OTAs have fixed the root exploit on some models, so you have to flash back to a previous version to root.
You have to root first, then you can flash TWRP.
As stated, there are plenty of FAQs in the general G3 section that help explain all of this.
OK thanks guys. Um just used to seeing a sticky on root under original android development I have no idea what firm ware he's running ik how restrictive big red can be at&t is no better but that's why when they offered a nexus I went and grabbed it

I have xperia pro and rooted it with eroot. Bootloader is not unlocked. When I flash APKs using ADB or Fastboot it gives error that device is not rooted but superuser is already there on the phone. I don't know if I can flash APKs to locked bootloader. I tried everything CWM but doesn't go into recovery mode.

What do you mean by "flash apk" ? If it is install then adb install apkname.apk should work...

Actually I am trying to install Cybershot APK which will replace my original Camera app but still after rooting it is not allowing to do that.
Is this because I don't have unlocked bootloader???
But in the threads it said that you just need rooted phone.
So please let me know if I can replace standard APKs with custom ones in locked bootloader.

Yes, you only need an unlocked bootloader. Mount system as RW. And then replace the cam app in /system/priv-app, but I would suggest you to unlock bootloader, install cwm and make a nandroid

But can I backup locked bootloader. If in case phone gets issues like bootloop and all can I lock my phones bootloader again.
If I unlocked bootloader then can I able to use repair operation from Sony PC Companion.
Like yesterday I tried to delete all system files from root and my phone was not able to start. So what I have done is repaired it using PC Companion and it has been started.
I mean to say can I backup my existing ROM, bootloader and all and if so can you please let me the process to do so.
Because there are so many threads and there are so many applications to do it and I am not able to figure out the correct procedure.
I also have the RW permissions and can replace the app but its meta files and all will not be replaced then. So do you know method to flash this APK.

Bootloop is a different term. It is because of bad ROM, once you unlock bootloader, nothing can relock it except you do it. So nothing to be scared of.

Hey Guys, I read many of the topics on the forums here and I still have some doubts unfortunately.
I am going to root and then install the latest Carbon on it.
1) It's not clear to me if I necessarily need to backup TA or anything else before rooting my device.
It is currently totally default from factory and I ask that because I read my cases that mention backing up a thing or another before proceeding that I am not sure if this is also mandatory or recommended before a simple root. After successfully rooting I'll install Carbon.
2) I'm going to unlock the bootloader from sony website, should I root first, or should be unblocked after rooting?
3) When should I backup TA? Before step 1, or before step 2
This is the root guide I plan on following: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784900
4) Is this the easiest way to root with my device being totally default from factory? Or is there another simpler way.
Thanks in advance!
1. Backing up TA is not mandatory, but recommended if you wish to relock your bootloader and return to stock at a later time.
2. Unlock first, flashing next, rooting third.
3. Backup your TA before your first ever unlock, otherwise after your first unlock, it will be gone forever and can never be recovered.
4. If you have an unlocked bootloader, flashing an installation zip through custom recovery is the fastest and easiest way.
Hi -- we have a LG V30 (US998) that we were told was rooted. On boot up we get the message Your device software cannot be checked for corruption. Lock the bootloader. see g.co/ABH. I read on XDA that means that the phone has only had the bootloader unlocked but it hasn't been rooted. When i used root checker basic it says Sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device. -- so there is no root access to the phone.
Two questions: Can we get back to the OEM install if we lock the bootloader or by other means? The previous owner says we can't go back but it is obvious that we have an incomplete or unsuccessful attempt at rooting. If we can't go back what is the simplest and most direct root to continue with the rooting? I can follow clear and precise directions -- I did root an old Note 1 but did not follow up as the phone is so old.
thanks in advance

Yes. You have Bootloader Unlocked V30. They've done most of the hard work for you. By the way, that Bootloader Unlock warning is the badge of freedom. LG tries to make it sound scary. Just ignore it.
Even though you're not rooted, I'm curious if you already have TWRP custom recovery installed? That would really cut down your to-do list!
IF you don't have TWRP custom recovery installed, then you just need to follow Section 6 of the WTF instructions. You're Bootloader is already unlocked. You just need to install TWRP, + three root files, including Magisk and reformat your internal memory.
Exactly what firmware version are you on in About Phone? If you're on something like 20a or 20b, after the paragraph above you would want to update to newer firmware. Or you may already be on newer firmware?

You want to follow the directions in Section 6, but you'll have to read some of the prior sections to download the files you need (ADB, etc.)
