hi. new to android (from ios) and rooting. my phone is lg g2 L-01F. I found a rootkit here on the forums for it, unfortunately after tee OTA update it's only temp root. the dev did provide a kernel to apply perma root so my question is if I flash this kernel enabling perma root but later flash another kernel will I lose root? thank you.

how i can root my xperia play?????
my model is R800i
my version is 2.3.3
please help me guys
I am waiting for a method where it doesn't require to unlocking the bootloader in order to root it. It's in the stickies...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043630
The new updates from SE really improved the phone and wouldn't want those bugs to come back again so that's why I wait to root.
Hoping a dev makes work of it
You can use gingerbreak. But it's easier to unlock it, you have more possibilities in phone modding, and it's relockable
you can root 2.3.3 with gingerbreak without having to flashback?
root your play with no locking bootloader
you won't have update .146 though I just did it and works flawlessly
basicly you downgrade root and ota update to 2.3.3 (.145)

i wanna root my play with locked bootloader
can i use gingerbreak?
Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum, and I would post this question in the appropriate thread, but alas, as I have less than 10 posts, I am not allowed to post in the developer forum.
So anyways, I will be receiving my Samsung Galaxy S2 in a couple of days, and plan on unlocking it (for free), which can only be done via a root app, that obviously requires the phone to be rooted.
After extensively reading several guides on rooting the GS2, it seems like a fairly straightforward process, but I do have a question about flashing the insecure kernel:
- Do you have to use a specific insecure kernel version for your device? I have seen a few guides that say you must use the specific kernel for the firmware you are running, but then other guides say that you can download the "XWKDD Insecure Kernel" to use.
If it must be a specific kernel, how does one go about finding out which to use?
Also, I am planning on flashing back the stock kernel and unrooting once I have the phone unlocked, so since it is SIM-Unlocked, it will stay unlocked forever, no matter what I do with the firmware, correct?
Thank you!
If you search for a rooting kernal according to your firmware then you cant go wrong.you will need the proper kernal to root it.one root kernal doesnt root eveything so seach according to your firmware.secondly the only true way to have a phone unlocked forever is via emei. Number.i had an sgs unlocked through a program similar to what your talkin about and it worked fine but when i reflashed the firmware to 2.3.4 it relocked.but if your not gonna play around with reflashing then shouldnt be a problem.the most common root kernal seems to be chainfire and works perfectly.
Thank you so much for answering my question.
So, when you say that the only way to have your phone unlocked forever is via EMEI, are you referring to the unlock code? I will be using this program: https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.chainfire.sgs2simunlockcode
By using this program, it will find the unlock code, and then I can use that to unlock the device, and I believe it's via EMEI, so reflashing the kernel should be no problem, correct?
The method I have chosen for rooting and unrooting (I'll unroot and reflash a stock kernel after I have the unlock) is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
I had rooted my lg g3 using stump root and then recently allowed the new update and lost root. When I try to use stump root it says it is already rooted, but Super User says the binary is missing and no root is allowed. How do I go about fixing this?
Thanks!
You need to downgrade to previous and re use stump again to root the phone. Then Bump custom recovery and find the pre rooted updated stock Rom and flash that in order to be up to date. There is no root available yet for the update.
Also questions go in Q&A forum not General.

Is there a way to root my Xperia Z2 (4.4.4) without unlock its bootloader?
Or else better, is there a way to back-up the bootloader before the unlock?
I ask because I want to root it without set a custom Rom.
Thanks in advance.
There is. You've got to downgrade to for example 4.4.2, root your phone, create a pre-rooted version of 4.4.4 and then flash that. There is a much more detailed guide around here, so I recommend that you check that out
To back up your ta partition you will need root first.
In stead of creating a rooted rom you can also find some prerooted here in the development forum.
-Use flashtool to downgrade to 4.4.2
-Root and install recovery with one of the available root methods (towelroot for example)
-Use recovery to flash a rooted 4.4.4 zip, recovery (again) and SU (again)
-Reboot
-Test network connection, if 4g is not working, use flashtool to flash a local 4.4.4 baseband
That's all.
I heard that for rooting it's required to have unlocked bootloader. Is that true?
(I have seen the root guide in forum, but I don't think that it mentions the bootloader)
My problem is that I want to upgrade the phone without errors (when sony has updates). I say that because a friend of mine has a rooted Nexus 5 with unlocked bootloader and he can't install the last update.It gives him a bootloop and returns to the previous. This is something I don't want.
Thanks in advance.
Unlucking is not needed.
Official updates should work if you're on a 100% stock rom, but updates are generally available as flashable rooted zip, here in the forums, long before you get an official update available from Sony.
So that should be no problem.
Biggest issue here that people dont search howto root on locked bl, that is possible, search and read then you will have it, example like the installations steps of a modded stock rom

So I've had the G3 for a while but haven't played with it at all like I have with some of my old phones. I'm not currently rooted and have already taken the Verizon update to Lollipop VS98523C. Can I even root my phone in it's current state? If I can root, what root method would be the best one. I've seen a few different ones. If I did root are there even ROMs that would work for my phone. I'm most interested in putting CM on it. Sorry if this has been asked before, but I've searched the forums quite a bit and haven't found this information. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Downgrading via kdz or tot, then rooting using the new method, then install latest version of TWRP for our phone, then flashing the rom from TWRP would be the easiest, most brick resistant method
Can you tell me which root method is the new one?
Don't need to downgrade at all anymore. The new root script is somewhere in the regular LG G3 sections (not Verizon specific) and there's now an app in the Play Store (there's a thread from only a day or more ago in these Verizon LG G3 sections about it) for installing TWRP on our phone that's supposed to work under Lollipop. I haven't tested it yet, myself, mind you.
For reference, the old root method is called Stump and didn't work with 12B or newer.
