Looked everywhere for a way to Root my Sprint Mega. Found Kingo Root, downloaded and ran Kingo Root. It worked!! SuperUser is active and I do get prompts to allow Root access.
Hopefully this helps someone out!
Does your 3g and lte works after that? Mine lost that can you nandroid back up the stock rom and post the link to download it

Yeah everything works fine. You probably need to activate the phone again by going to your Settings > More > Activate Device.

I just got a software update over the weekend that activated the tri-band LTE capabilities of the phone. Can anyone confirm whether this update unrooted or is incompatible with the rooting process?

Updating now. Will advise if the update kills root.
Edit: Update Kills root. Will retry root and update again.
Edit No 2: Kingoapp re-rooted phone successfully.
Did u pull that update file for us to download manually?

Or you can flashify back up the boot part and save to sdcard or dropbox and make the file shareable in dropbox?

No, didn't know there was an update until the phone told me it wanted to apply.
Usually if u use root explorer and look in sdcard there would be a update.zip or other .zip file that is update

Hi Guys,
My phone has become almost unusable.
It is currently on version 2.3.6, UCKK6 stock un rooted.
From few weeks I am trying to root it, reset it but nothing is working.
Already browsed through countless threads but to no use.
Below are the things I tried
1) Factory Reset through settings menu
2) Factory reset through stock recovery
3) Factory reset through *# code
4) Update firmware through ODIN
5) Update recovery through ODIN
6) Revert to UCKH7 through ODIN
7) Revert to UCKH7, tried re-partition option as last straw through ODIN
Once the phone switches off all the old data/baseband/firmware/files (before April 30th 2012) is restored and new data (after April 30th 2012) gets delete no matter what.
One thing I noticed while trying to factory reset was below message
Can't access to '/system/csc/ATT/system/'
Need your help as you can see I tried most of the available options

Thanks.
Tried it. Installed the 1.42 and rooted. Once the phone reboots there is no trace of the apk or the root and it is back to the old version.
Somehow after the reboot whatever may be the change they are not sticking and it is always going back to the old version.

Great site! Bookmarked! :thumbup:
How do I apply the system update to the stock rom? Right now I have TWRP installed and when I try to do the update it brings me to TWRP and stops. I am guessing the stock rom is looking for the stock recovery. Can I revert to the stock recovery temporarily or manually flash the update using TWRP? If so where is the stock update downloaded?

You need to flash the stock recovery before the update will work. After update you can flash back to twrp but I would recommended trying our 4ext if you have not already.

However, don't think you will be able to update.
I'm pretty sure its been discussed before, and the ROM needs to be unaltered...which is very unlikely in your situation.
Unfortunately your best option, i believe, is to obtain soff.

Hi everyone. Got this phone just a few days ago and updated it to 4.4 the next day. Sadly I didn't do any research before doing so and realized I can't transfer files to the memory card with 4.4. Is there a way to flash the older 4.3JB the easy way? Like the Samsung Odin way? The last time I had an HTC was with the One X and I did not do any tinkering with it. So please forgive my noobness. Or is there another way to have the old access to mem card without having to root? Thanks guys.

I have the vzw HTC one max it was rooted soff with NUsense six 4.4.2 rom installed. Well I left my phone laying on the table and went to the store and when I got back my son had it playing around with it. As soon as I walked through the front door he had this look on his face like OH SH$!. My little boy managed to wipe everything everything on my sd card is gone all of my backups everything. So now I'm stuck on the TWRP recovery screen I'm afraid to turn it off. I can still get to bootloader/hboot stuff. There's no OS installed on my phone. Man I don't know what I'm gonna do. I hope that you or someone can help me out here. Also it says that my max isn't rooted but it's still unlocked.

You can use adb to push a Rom to your phone in twrp I believe.
in Command Prompt,
type "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip" replacing ROM with the EXACT name of the ROM file and including the .zip piece on both ends.

You have to root either way. You will need the weaksauce method of Firewater. You cannot downgrade unless s-off. There's an easy fix for your current Rom too.

Ok. So in twrp go to advanced and choose adb sideload. Swipe to enter sideload mode.
Put the Rom you would like to be running in your fastboot/adb directory. Open cmd prompt to that directory and issue the following command ..
Adb sideload nameofrom.zip
Of course using the actual name of your Rom zip instead of nameofrom.zip.

Just hit do not install. Get back the the advanced screen and sideload a rooted rom already.

Did you manually flash the firmware update today and this was the outcome?

I gave you instructions how. Sideload the last rom you were using with my instructions. You don't need a functioning SD card to do so. It will send the rom to your phone from your PC via USB and flash it for you.
