If your tablet is already rooted, do not select 1 Root device; instead, select 3 * Custom ROM and Flashing [SUBMENU] from the AiO tool's main menu and then follow the instructions provided in several posts in this forum.
To fix the Sony Tablet S device problem: in your computer's Device Manager, right-click on the Sony Tablet S device and select Update Driver Software.
Hey all. I'm trying to deodex my stock rom on my at&t motorola atrix 2, running ics leak #1. I run xUltimate (v: 2.4) and all goes well, until i get to option 3 (deodex apps). It fails on ContactsProvicer2_0, and attached is the screenshot of it. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, sorry if this was in the wrong section. Mods, move it if need be.
Hi,
I want to deodex my stock rom, ICS 4.0.4, Alcatel OT 992D, MT6577 1gHz dualcore, rooted, with busybox and TWRP recovery. I have a Windows 8 64bit instaled on my laptop. Using xUltimate 2.4.2, trying also with xUltimate 2.4, but without a succses in both case. When I connect phone and pc via usb, run as administrator main.exe from /C:/xUltimate, I got message below:
Code:
* Checking Script Version.... *
* Checking Phone ROM Build.... *
* Waiting for Phone... *
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
and that's it, nothing hapends just staying forewer. I think that I have ADB driver, cause ADB and android SDK working. If I typing:
Code:
adb shell
su
from platform-tools, I got a message "shell has been granted superuser permission" on my phone display. Also, I can run comands such a "reboot", "bootanimation", etc.
Please, tell me and help me, how to run xUltimate with succes, and where is my mistake. If you need some kind of log, just tell me whichone and how to generate and I'll upload.
Thanks advance.

[Q&A] How to root LG-P875 (Optimus F5) using motochopper [apply also to F3, F6? & F7]
Well, dear LG Optimus F3/5/6?/7 owners, you can root your device right now WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader Simply download the attached file below, extract its content and place it in a single directory. This tool works under Windows, Linux and Mac OS X :highfive:
Thanks a lot to goofyextreme for F3 & platinumpresto for F7 feedback :good:
Positive feedback needed for the F6
Non specific device rooting procedures for motochopper under supported OS's are available HERE -> original thread by the author of this tool ... Thanks a lot djrbliss !
My Optimus F5 was preloaded with JB 4.1.2 and i run Ubuntu x64 : Running motochopper on my device rooted it in about 1 min. or 2 !!!
Theorically you do not need something else than the extracted files from the provided archive and it's true for all motochopper supported OS's : Windows, Linux and Mac OS X : adb executable is embedded into this zip for these three operating systems !
Then, to be sure you have a working setup, please run :
Linux
From a terminal, please cd into the extracted archive directory and type :
Code:
# sudo ./adb.linux devices
... it must output something like this in your terminal :
Code:
# sudo ./adb.linux devices
List of devices attached
yourdeviceserialnumberhere
If you see the serial number of your device listed then you're ready to go further ! Ubuntu x64 works that way out of the box but recently i switched to another x64 Linux distribution and the above command failed, because of an incompatibilty problem beetween the motochopper adb executable and OS librairies ... if you're running a Linux distro and you do not have a correct output from the above command THEN install the adb package from the repository of your choice for your operating system ... after that is done you'll need to edit and modify slightly the motochopper Linux script (run.sh) in order to use the adb executable you've just installed instead of using the one provided by the zip file attached below when running the tool ! ... if you don't know how to modify this script, just let me know and i'll tell you what you need to do
Windows
First of all you'll need to install LG United Mobile Driver, then REBOOT, and type from an elevated command prompt ("launched as an administrator") :
Code:
# adb.exe devices
... it must output something like this in your terminal :
Code:
# adb.exe devices
List of devices attached
yourdeviceserialnumberhere
If you see the serial number of your device listed then you're ready to go further ! Otherwise check than you have enabled USB debugging in the "Developper Options" tab and that the USB connection mode is properly set on your phone (in the Windows device manager you must see an item which mention that an ADB Interface is installed on your system ... the real name on your system may vary from mine so i do not give an exact interface name ...)
Only when you have seen your device serial number in the output of the command "adb devices", you're OK to launch the motochopper tool :
Check that you're inside the extracted motochopper directory and please type :
Linux
Code:
# sudo ./run.sh
Windows
Code:
# run.bat
The tool will take 1 min. or 2 to complete ... and when your phone has rebooted, it's rooted It is safe to try it in my opinion because i don't think this tool can brick your phone in any way, in the worst case it will fail BUT please note this little disclaimer with care : i am not the developper of this great tool and if you decide to use it, then it's at your own risk ...
Happy rooting
NOTE : For Mac OS X users please refer to the original thread by the author of motochopper (link at the beginning of this post) because i don't know much about Mac OS ...
IMPORTANT NOTE : Some of the LG Optimus Fx Series models recently gained an OTA update ! THE motochopper tool apparently DOES NOT WORK AT ALL if you upgraded your ROM with the OTA update ! It seems to be USELESS to try it in such conditions BUT i think it is still HARMLESS to test the tool -> in the worst case it will fail ... if so, reset your device to factory settings from the Android menu and please try another way to root your phone; THAT SAID I REPEAT THE TOOL IS PROVIDED AS IS AND IF YOU DECIDE TO USE IT, IT WILL BE AT YOUR OWN RISK ...
INFO : As of 2014-03-10 i close this topic because it is useless => motochopper do not work anymore on LG Optimus Fx Series
See you around,
Bye

Of course on Windows, Linux and Mac YOU MUST HAVE a working Android Tools setup BEFORE running motochopper or it will fail !

In fact adb executable is embedded in the motochopper package for supported OS's so maybe you could try running it without properly installing Android Tools on your machine but i've not tested motochopper that way ...
Also, note that the motochopper package i used to root my LG-P875 install superuser (i switched to supersu after running the tool because i prefer that one ...) and busybox ...

I tried Motochopper with my LG F5 and it didn't work. It just says:
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
And it just stays there. Other people seem to have this same problem with Motochopper. I assume I have my USB drivers installed, as when I first attached my F5 to my PC, it installed drivers automatically and I can copy files over to the phone.
I don't know what you mean about "Android Tools". Which android tools? I downloaded Android Developer Tools "adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130717", but nothing actually gets installed in any system directories for other programs to find, it's just an SDK.
Motochopper already has adb.exe included. I tried running as administrator and in XP compatibility mode and there was no change. I'm using Windows 8.
EDIT:
I finally got it working. I had to download the LGMobile Support Tool which was a chore itself, since the main download from the LG site is corrupt, so I had to find another version. Once that program was finally installed (it sits there doing nothing for the first 10 minutes of installation...I realized it must be downloading data from LGs SLOW server), it then updated itself to the latest version, which took another half an hour to download from the slow LG server.
Finally, from that program I could install the custom USB driver for the LG F5 (which is called P875 in the program just to confuse you). It downloaded and installed the USB driver not once, but twice (god knows why), and then told me the second time that the driver was already installed. What a piece of sh__ program.
Anyway, I ran the Motochopper afterwards, and it rooted my phone with no problems.
Works great!
I really appreciate this! I just downloaded the .zip file and ran the "run" executable. You hit enter, and wait until it's done rooting and rebooting. Then, you're rooted! By the way, this was on the LG Optimus F3. It seems as though this method works on the F3, F5, and F7 (at least that's the information that I've gathered so far). Again, thank you!
I've updated the Q&A today. Thank to all of you for providing feedback on the LG Optimus F Series and the compatibility with the motochopper tool !
Have a nice day
Someone have the contacts provider from their rooted F3?
Thanks for this guide -- I was able to root my Optimus F3 phone.
I do have one small problem, though: I accidentally deleted my contacts provider. Now certain apps aren't working at all. If someone has a rooted F3, it would be great if they could take the time to upload their contacts provider APK (located in /system/app) for me. (One from the F5 or F7 might work also.)
If you're on StackExchange, I have a bounty on Android Enthustiasts (android.stackexchange.com/q/52125/40230) for whoever can help me. Thanks!
Unlocking bootloader
It seems strange to me that this phone has been out for a few months now and no one has managed to unlock the bootloader. Does anyone know of any progress on this?

In fact there is a possible solution ... another tool also developped by djrbliss (motochopper author) which is named loki could do the job but at the moment the Optimus F5 is not supported by loki (Optimus F3/F7 are ). I've opened a ticket on the GitHub loki page for adding F5 support to loki but i have no answer for the moment ... may be you can do the same ...
You might be interested by these links ... :

The good news is that your device is new like you said, so there are many chances that there is almost no really important personal data stored on your cellphone ... i say that because in my experience when motochopper encountered a problem, the easiest way to make it work is to perform a factory reset from the Android settings menu as STEP 1 !
BEFORE DOING ANYTHING, ensure to backup your personal data on your external micro sdcard if you have one ...
-> STEP 1 : perform a factory reset from the Android settings menu ... when the process is complete and you're back into Android ... go further
-> STEP 2 : follow instructions as described in the first post of this thread BUT do not ever plug your device to a USB hub (even a powered one), plug it when needed to a true USB port directly on your computer !
Also, in your case nCom, as you have both Linux and Windows platforms, prefer Linux for motochopper : i can confirm that the tool works on Ubuntu 13.04 !
Another important thing : i've noticed that when motochopper fails once THEN you have to perform a factory reset from the Android settings menu to have a chance to make it work ... 1 motochopper failure => factory reset ...
The causes of the failure in your case nCom are not clear for me : before trying motochopper another time, please double check that all the required conditions are fullfilled as described in the first post of this mini HowTO + check that the USB connection mode of your device is set to 'Charge only' or 'LG Software' + connect your device to a true USB port when needed (like already said above ... try different ports if it keeps failing)
Let me know if this helped you out !
Have a nice day and happy rooting

Thanks for your reply, just tried factory resetting before rooting and unfortunately it didn't help :/. Still failing on the same step.
I even tried running the commands one by one instead of a batch script - as explained in this thread - and it always seems to fail on:

@nCom
It's strange that you're facing such difficulties with this tool and it's also far away the limits of my knowledge... the best i can do for now is to give you the link of the official motochopper support thread, there you'll certainly find a solution to your problem : http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/15208-root-motochopper-yet-another-android-root-exploit-412/
Also check if there is any official thread for motochopper on XDA... djrbliss is the author of this great tool... as far as i know there is not such a topic.
Good luck

At this point i think there is none ! In addition the Optimus F series is partially supported by loki (another program by djrbliss ...) which is one of the only tool to bypass the bootloader of these phones (F5 is not, F3 & F7 are !) in order to flash a custom recovery and a custom ROM on it.
I think we'll have to wait untill somebody has unofficially ported CyanogenMod to the F5 (and to the whole F series ...) because some files in a ROM are device specific : in order to compile a custom ROM you'll have to get a device / kernel source tree and a proprietary tree ... all these are mandatory otherwise your ROM will be useless ... trying another ROM from a similar device is a hazardous job ...
If you successfully manage to get a working custom ROM like CyanogenMod on your cellphone you'll be welcome if you let me know :thumbup:

Yeah i've requested support on the cyanogen mod forums
ht tp://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/79412-request-lg-optimus-f-series (sorry new user, can't link.
if you want to post/bump. I'm looking into how difficult it is (probably far too difficult for me). I find it odd that the L series has a custom scene but the F series doesn't. Are the F5's only in Australia?
I might run around to a few aussie sites like miui au and what ever else i can find and see if they can help/lead me in the right direction.
@SubNoizey
I agree with you about the Optimus F series custom ROM support ... afaik the F5 is sold worldwide (at least in France for sure) but strangely it does not seem to attract the interest of the DEV community like other devices (there is no dedicated subforum on XDA for the Optimus F lineup for example ...) ; in my opinion it's a shame because the F5 is a good LTE budget cellphone.
Good luck in your quest

Android Version is actually 5.1.1

For some reason it says "Software status: Modified" so, I don't know what that's about.

According to the forum members on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/lg-g-vista-root-request-t2849017 there has not been a method to root on the update you are on. You would need to revert to an older version. Some members were having trouble with that part as well, as you can read on the last 2 or 3 pages.

You're welcome. Yea, it's confusing because it really matters about the software version it's on, and most guides are just generic and tell you it roots 5.0.x or 5.1.x without detailing the more important part as manufacturers often put out small little updates that often block root access that was found in the previous build. Especially so for ATT and VZW.
Hey Guys,
I just got a 8 inch Mediapad M5 / SHT-W09
downgraded to 9.0

But nothing works.
after a flash it stucks at the loading screen...
How do i get a Custom ROM working on this Tab ?

i tried but got the message this device is not google certified....
cant fix it :-(
after 20 minutes after activating it was working.... didnt expect that time needed for that
EDIT: Play store still says not certified :-(
Try this:
Register your device on https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/
To get the ID, you can either:
- adb root, then adb shell, press enter, and at the new prompt, inside adb shell, do sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db 'select * from main where name = "android_id";'
- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evozi.deviceid => Google Service Framework (GSF) ID
