[Q] Just rooted. Now what? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I used towelroot to root my Verizon Samsung S4. it took seconds to root which was kind of strange for me as the last time i rooted a phone it was the HTC Thunderbolt. whole different process. So again i rooted the phone with Towelroot but superSU app wasn't installed. I went to the playstore and downloaded the Superuser. At this point i'm unsure how to flash a rom to this phone or how to flash and add anything to it. I know the phone has root because i used a root checker.
where can i find a good list of ROMS and other fun stuff to add to my phone?
I need to get this phone set up and ready to ship to my son tomorrow so if anyone can help me i would greatly appreciate it

Hopefully he's a fan of touchwiz. Do some research on safestrap recovery as this is most likely your only option for flashing roms.

[Q] Randomly lost root access

I recently got s-off, updated from 1.15 to 2.06, installed abp and also flashed a no ads zip file for good measure because some ads would still get through. Everything was going great until the phone randomly froze. I held down the power button and rebooted into recovery and cleared my cache and dalvik cache, thinking that may have been the problem. Upon rebooting after that, I come to find out I've lost my root access. This is so weird. I am still s-off and have the 2222222 confirmation shown when I am in the bootloader, I still have super user installed, but when I run an app that needs root, such as adaway, it says I don't have root. I downloaded root checker and it confirmed that I didn't have root. I don't understand how this could have happened. Is there anyway to regain root? I have been having the worst luck with this phone :\

Send me a PM if you want me to help you out. You need to install a custom recovery and use that to install a rooted rom and kernel. It can be a stock rooted rom. Or mostly stock however you want to do it, I'll help you set it up and teach you some things along the way.
I can teach you all kinds of things via team viewer, it wont take long and it's a necessity for having a rooted phone in my opinion. I know it can be frustrating and over whelming but it will get better I promise.
Oh and also you don't need to worry about losing s off. It's at a much lower level than anything you've mentioned touching. So it will always be there regardless because you definitely don't want to be messing with hboots or s off type stuff.
Hey, I PMed you.
Try uninstalling superuser and installing either supersu or the other superuser.

I can't uninstall my Superuser unless I use Titanium Backup. I tried installing SuperSU (while still having my original Superuser installed) and the SuperSU said that "There is no SU binary installed"

How to get root back after subsequent apps are denied root?
Over the last year, this has happened several times while having different custom roms installed. It happened several times with my Galaxy S4 and S5, and recently with my Galaxy Tab S 10.5. I have not lost root on my Nexus 7 (2013). The common denominator appears to be the Samsung devices.
Through SuperSu, I have removed root, rebooted, and installed root again with CF-Root which has not given me root access.
The only way I have been able to recover to date is to do a factory rest. It is interesting to note that I would have thought that the factory rest would take me back to the Samsung rom but in the last two time that I did this on either device, I ended up with the custom rom that I just had but without root or custom recovery.
To go back to a Samsung rom, I would think that if I started the device in download mode and did a flash with odin.
But rather than go through this, is there a reason why this happens and/or is there a way to avoid it?
Lastly, is there a true way of getting root back once it stops granting root?

Best to post such things in your device specific forum.
This forum is for the Droid DNA.
However, gaining root is as simple as downloading the latest SuperSu zip and flashing it in recovery.
Very simple to do on any rom.

need help rooting

hey,
so my mum just bought a desire 601. Before, I had given her my old rooted phone with all my customizations that she has now grown accustomed to, so she wants me to root her new phone and make it look exactly the same.
When she gave it to me to root earlier today, it was brand new. I unlocked the bootloader, and flashed the custom recovery (I went with Philz), but I can't seem to get root. I flashed the latest 2.40 from chainfire's site, but I keep getting the "No binary installed" error. The zip always flashes successfully. Root checker says I have no root.
I just want to keep the ROM stock since its my mom's phone. I showed her insertcoin running on my M7, but she likes sense 5.5, and insertcoin only provides sense 6. So I just want to root the stock ROM and move on.
EDIT: hey, is there an RUU anywhere for this phone? because I can't seem to backup with either philz or twrp, just says cant mount cache and system partitions... wanna be extra careful not to mess anything up
EDIT: Been messing with this all day, no response from anyone here on XDA, went ahead and installed insertcoin. Failed. tried again. success. no idea why. STILL don't have root. Tried superSU and superUser with full wipes. WTF. help?
EDIT: well, thanks for your help XDA, but I managed to finally get it. found some obscure program for windows called Kingo root, and it worked first run. I never looked at windows utilities, always just rooted manually, but whatever, its done now.

[Q] Custom ROMs for the LG Transpyre (VS810PP)

Hi Everyone,
I've seen this question posted randomly in threads for other topics but didn't see a thread for the question itself so thought Id put it out there because
1. I'm curious to the answer myself.
2. Having this thread might back the search for others with the same question slightly less time consuming and a whole lot easier.
That being said, does anyone out there know of any custom roms for, or ones that will work on, the LG VS810PP (Transpyre)?? Also, since (as far as I can tell) the Transpyre and the LG Tribute are essentially the same phone, could one use a custom rom for the Tribute on the Transpyre? Surely, I wont be stuck with staying on stock! I MUST MOD!!! :cyclops: :fingers-crossed:
Any and all help IS GREATLY and WHOLEHEARTEDLY appreciated! Thanks soooo much in advance.
Calling all Modders! Calling all Modders!
I have this device as well and would love to get off the stock Rom an instal CM or other, hate the bloatware an Rom over all seems sluggish. I am sure there is someone with the knowledge out there that has this device an can help!!!!! Calling all Transpyre Modders! Its time to Rom Out!
Root, but no rom
Im a Transpyre user and was able to succesfully root but have yet to find any custom roms. in the meantime i have removed lots of bloatware and things are running a lil better and my battery is lasting a bit longer.
I was able to root, de-bloat and install TWRP. I also made a backup and was able to restore. I know that's not much info but every little bit helps.

A backup of the stock recovery? If so I'd love one of those right now, can't install 5.1.1 OTA without it (and I don't think I can install 5.1.1 with TWRP without someone making a custom flashable ROM?).
Does anyone have a list of the bloatware I can safely disable or uninstall? A short description of it would also be nice if possible to see if it's something I need or not. I am rooted and also have the transpyre. Not a bad phone for the price.
Same here I've been scouring the net looking for a custom Rom for the transpyre but cannot seem to find anything for it, makes me wonder why this phone is not so cared for as If it were a contract phone
I know what you mean, I understand wasn't a very popular phone but I know you and I ain't the only ones that have it. Just have to be patient I guess and wait for someone that has worked on it to help is.

I used the kinguser app to get root on it. I doubted it would work but It did The trick. make sure you update the King user app to prevent most apps from saying you don't have root, also, A strange thing happened though I used the jrummy root checker and now it says my phone is an Lg F60. Not sure if that's a bad thing. Also keep in mind you will lose your custom recovery I've been looking for ways to flash the twrp/cwm recoveries but it seems to be locked to the stock recovery. I've been putting it off but I'm going to test pushing the files through adb and see if that does anything. I'll let you know whether It bricks or not

I also used kingroot straight from kingroot.net to root mine, then SuperSU Me Pro to remove the Kingroot Apps. Reliable root now, been debloating today.

Do you have a backup of your rom? and could you post a link to it?
I was able to root using Kingroot 4.5 and replace it with SuperSU using the "Super-Sume Pro 9.2.1 apk" All newer versions of the Super-Sume Pro .apk hung up during the first phase of its operation and all of the free versions of Super-Sume I had tried (the most recent) caused my phone to hang at the Verizon screen during reboot.
I found a YouTube video:
"How to Install CyanogenMOD 12 on the LG F60 and LG Tribute"
Which claimed the procedure was the same for the Transpyre (vs810pp) and included links to another video:
"How To Install TWRP Recovery on the LG F60, LG Tribute and LG Transpyre"
As well as a download link for "twrp-2.8.6.0-e2nav.img" which is supposed to be correct for the Transpyre (vs810pp) phone.
However after I installed "twrp-2.8.6.0-e2nav.img" I received an error during reboot: "Secure booting Error! Error Code : 1003" Afterword my phone would not do a factory reset, and only displayed that error message on every attempt..
I had since installed:
csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW07S65232BYAJX41F92ORK/VS810PU4_08_ARB01.kdz
(The factory 5.1.1 ROM which I found here in another thread) restoring the factory recovery ROM using the guide: "How to flash firmware to LG smart phone with LG Flash Tool 2014" I was able to repair the boot error.
How are you guys getting TWRP to work well? Would one of you be kind enough to point me in the direction of the the TWRP file that is successfully being used?
Would any of you guys currently running TWRP be able to provide your bootloader and dependency files?
If so would you kindly make them available over at :
xda-developers - Android Development and Hacking - Miscellaneous Android Development - [RECOVERY][e2nam] TWRP 2.8.5.0 touch recovery LG MS395
It appears that there may be another, far more advanced enthusiast (I believe the author of the "twrp-2.8.6.0-e2nav.img" I mentioned earlier) posting over there who could potentially be able to put together something useful for those of us running the Lollipop 5.1.1 factory ROM.
does anyone have a stock rom? Im seriously screwed here without one

May someone please help me root an LG Premier LTE?

Hello all! I am currently trying to root an LG Premier LTE
5.1.1 lollipop
Straight talk
Please help me, also thank you very much for your time
I have this phone also and I have searched high and low. At a glance it doesn't look good. I hear people saying things like a locked bootloader and unrootable. I remember the Motorola Atrix 2, and what a nightmare that whole thing was for me and my woman. I'ma give this phone to my daughter. She would love it for a birthday present. If this phone cannot be rooted, and if the bootloader is locked, and nothing comes of this it is useless to me. So if a bootloader is locked does that mean this device is unrootable? Any of you developers thank you for your time in advance, is there such thing as an unrootable Android? If I come up on any information I will post it here on your thread my friend
I'm also looking to root this phone. Hopefully someone will come up with a way. I remember when the Samsung Galaxy J3 came out and it took a while before someone came up with a root method for it. If I find any new information, I will also post it here.
Locked bootloader doesn't mean unrootable. You can root with a rooting app, then before rebooting, use flashify to flash the stock kernel(boot.img)
Ive tried Kingroot and other one click methods. Also tried kingoroot on the pc. All failed. Tried using adb reboot bootloader and it just reboots the phone and adb reboot recovery only gives you the option of factory reset.
Anyone able to root this yet?

Can u please tell us how we can root the LG Premier Lte
Or are u just lying to troll all of us as u can tell it means a great deal to us and lying doesnt make any progression
I have same phone and I have tried everything...........if anyone knows a way post here please and thanks!!
I also have this phone. Would love to root it but none of the above were successful: King Root. Kingo root. Srs root. One Click Root. Stump root. Towelroot. LG one Click. Lol ive tried them all.
Has anyone done anything or had any succuess with this phone? Seems to be a higher priced but lower end phone.... My LG G2 from 4 years ago still blows this phone away. I shouldnt have jumped on this phone when my G4 broke. Should have just spent $20 on a throw away for while in the bind and explored my options.
Just a thought here but....
I have read the LG K10 is the "SAME" phone? and that the "LG Premier LTE" is just the renamed version of the K10 for Straight Talks services.... Can anyone confirm or deny that we could use the Root methods, Recoverys and or flash system images etc. from the K10?
Has any successfully rooted this phone yet?
I was able to temporarily root it with King root but as soon as you restart or turn off the phone, root is gone.
After getting temp root through kingroot we will need a custom recovery. Frash that before the phone reboots. Once it reboots. Go to recovery and flash a supersu zip. The only thing we are missing is a custom recovery.....

I wouldn't hold my breath. If this hasn't been rooted by now, it most likely won't be.
I've been waiting for months and at this point will have a new phone before anyone takes the time to figure out how to root this one.

Help needed - Rooted S4 5.0.1 pl1 stuck on red Verison screen

I'm new to the forum. I've been lurking here for the past couple of weeks trying to piece together a way to root my SCH i545 running 5.0.1 with the pl1 update so that I might get to the point of running a custom nougat rom. Yesterday I started trying to figure out how to get a custom rom loaded on it, but got nowhere. I've never done anything like this before.
So, today I came across this thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/update-1545vrsgpl1-t3537781 which linked me to the stang5litre rom. I thought I'd see if I could get that running. I downloaded kingoroot and got it rooted, confirmed by root checker. Then I downloaded SuperSU and tried to load it. I used Titanium Backup to remove the superuser, but when I tried to install the SuperSU it said that KNOX was interfering with the install. After some reading, uninstalled the KNOX using Titanium Backup and tried installing the SuperSU again. This time I got an error that said I needed to reboot. On rebooting, the phone makes it as far as the red Verizon screen and sticks.
It will still boot into the Recovery and Download modes. Can someone please tell me how to proceed from here?
Your best option is to start over by re-flashing it with stock PL1.
Then be careful during the superuser replacement process, that's when things went wrong basically breaking the system bootup.
Try using something like Super SUme to replace King with SSU.
