[Q] What version of CWM is this? - LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095825
What version is it?
In the post title it says 1.5.0.0, but when I boot into recovery, it says CWM-based recovery v6.0.something.something
I want to flash a ROM, but would MUCH rather flash via ROM manager, rather than manually, and I need to know what version it is in order to use ROM manager.
Also, I don't have 10 posts, so I can't post in the actual thread yet.
Thanks in advance!

Did you unlock your phone bootloader? If not you cannot flash any custom rom. It'll soft-brick your phone.
For CWM v1.5.0.0 may be his build version.

How do I know if my BL is unlocked?
I just used this one because I was unsure.

So your phone bootloader is lock (as all new phone). If you want to flash custom rom please unlock it first, search for bootloader unlock for your phone model in forum.

[Q] [recovery]A flashable zip with recovery for locked bl

Hy guys!
I came across the problem when i was trying new roms for my Neo. Whenever i flash a new rom I risk that it'll go bootloop because I'm on locked bl. If so i cannot reach recovery again because it is on the /system partition itself which is formatted in the process.
I just wanted to ask if somebody could make a flashable zip for our phones so when i flash a new rom I can flash the recovery straight after the rom.
Why don't u flash a stock rom -> unlock bl -> root to gain CWM -> install ROm
I think wating for sb making Custom Rom for u would take a long time
It's just my opinion :silly:
Install x-parts from the market: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.CWMinstaler&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5wdnkuQ1dNaW5zdGFsZXIiXQ.. Anyway just make a backup before you flash the rom. Use Flashtool to flash stock firmware, root and install recovery. You can restore your backup from there.:silly:

Yes that would be great..they should include CWM in the rom itself..as in automatically install CWM after flashing rom..before the first boot..

yup thats the problem with locked bootloaders..but if u unlock it then custom kernels will have CWM built-in..

I know that if I unlock the bl I can flash custom kernels but in service menu I have the line: Bootloader unlock allowed: NO. In that case can I still use the testpoint method?
I know how can i install recovery on the rom itself but as I said the phone can get into bootloops after installations and in that case I have to flash stock, flash neov kernel, root flash original kernel install cwm and start the whole process from the beginning.

You can unlock it, but you won't be able to use it(fastboot) until you remove SIM lock (with setool for example-paid, no free way).

[Q] Root Xperia with Lollipop?

Hi, I'm kind of a noob, so sorry if this is a dumb question.
I just installed the new Lollipop Fimware on my Z2, using Flashtool. Now I want to root the device, but reading through articles on XDA or XperiaBlog, they all said you need to use older firmware. So my question is, can you root the Z2 with Lollipop?
I'd be grateful for helpful answers.

Things needed:
PC, fastboot driver, know how to boot to bootloader(fastboot mode) and recovery mode
Now you can without having old kernel (not firmware)
go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/kernel-andropluskernel-v10-t2974841 extract boot.img from the zip file.
Boot your phone to fastboot mode and in command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Go to recovery mode after restarting and then get UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip and flash it via newly installed TWRP recovery.

Same here. I'm a noob wanting to learn how to root. But this went over my head :/
Would using PRF creator work? If you bundled the lollipop firmware with supersu.zip and flashed it would it give you lolipop with root? Because this is what i did to update to 4.4.4 with root. For anyone that doesnt know PRF creator is a program which combines 3 files which is are firmware of your choice, a superSU.zip and a recovery.zip. It combines them into a .zip that you can flash in recovery and have the firmware with superSU and a custom recovery on it.
I have a locked bootloader and mines rooted, do you want me to say how?
If its on lollipop, i would very much like to know how.
Isn't this the exact same answer as rooting 4.4.4?
Downgrade to 4.4.2
Root
Install recovery
Install rooted lollipop zip in recovery
If you don't understand this or the method posted above don't root. Also, if.you can't google things like fastboot to understand what it is don't root.

Bootloop
Everything was fine, till i tried superSU. Twrp flashed it fine, but then when i tried to reboot, the device got stuck in a bootloop.
wipe cache/delvik also didnt help.
I have a new z2, then unlocked the bootloader, and then got the Norway rom using xperifirm.
Norway rom installed fine. twrp installed fine. But i am facing a bootloop now that i have flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
Anybody else face this issue?

try wiping just "Dalvik Cache" and restart again. I have also face similar strange issue when I was using FlashTool a couple of times.
If that doesn't work try normal wiping from TWRP and install firmware using FlashTool.

I'm no Android/Lollipop/Rooting expert but using an unlocked boot loader I was able to root Lollipop (23.1.A.0.690 ) easily using the kernel from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...ot-stock-flashable-kernel-23-1-0-690-t3061816
My steps were:
1. Install Lollipop
2. fastboot flash boot boot.img (to install above mentioned kernel with TWRP recovery)
So far so good.
PS: To use fastboot you'll likely need the drivers from flashtool (http://www.flashtool.net/index.php) and if on Win 8.1 you'll need to search for instructions on how to install unsigned drivers.

Is there root only for Baltic ROM? I am on Nordic and I want root is that possible?

accessing bootloader

Hiya
I've desided to change my rom on my G925F and I have it rooted however I am unable to reboot into the bootloader I can't find any way to unlock it.
Any thoughts, hints, ideas that would help me in my quest to rid my phone of bloatware would be greatly appreciated
You won't need to unlock your bootloader if you have a 925F - do you mean you can't boot into recovery mode? What exactly are you trying yo achieve? Do you want to flash another firnware, or just de-bloat your current firmware?
Hi
I guess I should have been a bit clearer, my plan/goal is to flash another firmware onto my phone
Maybe I should say why I want to get into the bootloader:
I want to install fastboot and I can't cause I can't get into bootloader

So if I understand your request, you'll first need to flash a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP, which you do via Odin. Once you have that, you can flash a new custom firmware as an unsigned .zip file. Follow the instructions here - this is what I used on my 925F.

Umm. . . According to that link you've posted, the Galaxy S6 isn't even supported. I suspected as much, as Fastboot is usually something you only see on pure Android devices (Nexus phones/tablets).
I'd strongly suggest you do some more reading on this before proceeding, as you'll almost certainly end up with an expensive paperweight otherwise!!

how to root asus zenfone live zb501kl

I have been searching in the internet for hours, trying every method i could understand and none of them worked. the main problem is the official bootloader unlock tool provided by asus is not working, it just restarts the phone and it is still locked. one solution is flash a custom recovery without unlocking phone and another way is unlock without the official app or maybe root without custom recovery, i would be happy if someone explains a way to root this phone.
indeed. the official bootloader unlock is not working and just restarting with no changes.
Then i tried to flash TWRP via fastboot it says Ok but no TWRP when I proceed to recovery its only stock recovery.

I suppose that you've already turned developer mode on and enabled the USB debugging.
Did you either reboot the phone by yourself or it did that automatically after flashing twrp? There are some devices that just restart and get the official bootloader back. This auto restart overwrites the bootloader.
Some people say that after flashing twrp you must unplug the device and then reboot directly to bootloader by yourself, holding the power and volume up buttons . Have you tried it?

[AIO] Guide to Unlock bootloader , Flash TWRP and a Custom rom.

Unlocking Bootloader​1. Make sure you have a sim and active mobile data. Then go to about phone tap build number 7-8 times. After that go to advanced settings > developer options > turn on OEM unlocking and then check if this device is secure and click add account and device.
2. Download Mi unlock tool from here. Extract it and paste it in C:/unlock. or else your device won't be recognized for unlocking.
3. Open Mi unlock tool and then enter the Mi account which was on your device. Put your device in fastboot mode by pressing vol- and power and then connect to PC. Press unlock and if it tells you to wait you have no other option but to wait. If your mi flash tool shows connect your device even after you have connected it. Follow this guide here.
4. After you have unlocked your bootloader reboot your phone.
Flashing TWRP and Rooting via magisk​
1. Download this TWRP image here. Thanks to the original developer mauronofrio.
2. Download adb and fastboot tools here and install it.
3. Now put your phone in fastboot mode and connect it with your pc. Now where you have downloaded the TWRP file rename it to TWRP.img and open a CMD window there if you don't know how just google.
4. Type the following commands
1. fastboot devices
2. fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
3. fastboot reboot recovery.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. Your phone will boot into TWRP now. But TWRP will be overwritten by stock miui recovery to stop that you need to flash Magisk. Download this zip move it to internal storage then flash by tapping on install and swipe to flash. Reboot your device. Reboot to recovery again to check if TWRP is present.
Now your device is rooted
OR
Flash latest OrangeFox Recovery if you don't want magisk.
Flashing A rom
1. Download.
2. Flash.
3 Format Data.
Done
Feel free to ask any questions. And don't point a finger at me for messing your device.

I've unlocked the bootloader using the unlock tool and waited for 7 days,
But i rooted the device using a different method where i patched a boot.img and flashed that to the device.
Will this method still work for me as I'm already rooted but just want TWRP so i can flash other ROMs.. The post says you have to flash magisk from the (temporary) TWRP for the TWRP to stay as the recovery..
Will the magisk on my phone and the magisk installed here collide?
I just want TWRP so i can switch to a custom rom, so any input is appreciated!!

You can flash twrp and then check if it persists. If not flash magisk again their is no thing as magisk colliding lol. Just make sure you flash a newer version. And if nothing works flash stock rom and then twrp.
If you have the stock boot IMG flash it and then intsall twrp and magisk.

But there's this one thing where when booting to recovery, it asks me to input a password for User(0) when i try to input anything it says password failed..
From reading the log, it says it's for decrypting data(8f I'm not mistaken)
Is this important? Do i need to decrypt it?
Currently the ROM works fine with no errors, so I'm not gonna bother, but would still like to know what this "decrypting" thing is..

Yes, If you use a lock screen enter that password it will be decrypted. You will have to format data if you decide to flash any other rom anyway.
flashed twrp but not able to boot into recovery.

There can be many reasons for that. Please tell me the error or what's actually happening. Then only I can be of help.

Hey buddy, thank you for this quick step-by-step guide. I flash ROMs since 2012 and you know what? It helped me the same. Having all stuff needed for go from stock to custom concentrated in one place (plus some useful tip like the Magisk flash at the end) it's always useful and time-saving. Thank you
2 Micro-notes about fastboot btw:
- write 'fastboot (with lowered 'f'): it may confuse some newbie
- it's 'reboot' instead of 'boot'
