i bought S5 for tmobile from ebay and after 7 month i got blocked by Rent a Center
front screen is locked and says locked by Rent a center
can not use it or bypass anymore..
out of ebay and paypal guarantee ....seller is not helping either..
anyone has similar problem or work around
i did hard reset and still after setting up wifi and all info...front screen comes with rent a screen lock
Sounds like someone sold it before paying it off. Not alot you can do really except maybe get ahold of rent a center and explain what happened.
1. Disconnect from Internet
2. Flash different tar files

They can Block the IMEI. Any Phone disturber can do it. They just have to go through the right channels. I am not saying they will but they could if they wanted to.

Same thing just happened today with my S5. Can anyone get me info on how to unlock. Rent a Center is no help and quite rude about it. They shouldn't be selling phones that you have no way of knowing they come from them.
This literally just happened to me today in the afternoon, phone locked up after 4 months of great use. I'm not sure how to "flash it to cyanogenmod 12" and I'm worried about bricking the phone. Can anyone spell it out in a little more detail how to do this?

PLEASE READ ALL THE STEPS FIRST and ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU ARE NOT CLEAR.
Download Odin3_v3.09
Download TWRP or any other custom recovery of your choice.
Download Cyanogenmod 12 for G900T : https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=klte -> Put this on your external microSD card. You can use internal storage as well.
Download GApps for Cyanogenmod 12 http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps#Downloads -> Put this on your external microSD card. You can use internal storage as well.
Run Odin and flash TWRP or any other custom recovery of your choice to your phone. This will set KNOX security flag to 1, meaning no more warranty for the phone if you send it to Samsung to repair something else. Follow this http://www.droidviews.com/install-twrp-recovery-samsung-galaxy-s5/ or watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuAT7GwSAic
Boot into custom recovery ( with phone off, press and hold Volume Up and Home keys while turning on the phone ) and Wipe -> Advanced wipe -> Wipe System, Dalvik, Cache and Data. This will erase everything on the phone. No need to do ROM back up as we have Stock ROM available for this model to go back if needed. Your choice.
Flash/Install Cyanogenmod 12 zip file and then GApps zip file
Reboot
Let your phone sit for 10 minutes.
Cyanogenmod 12 is the only way to use the phone without the "Rent-A-Center" screen at this point. I tried multiple Stock ROM from 4.4.2 to 5.0 But phone still showed the lock screen after initial setup.
Same thing happened to a client today. RAC Just started this?
First I woukd lie to express just how outraged I am at this new policy. As if worrying and checking ESN's to ensure a phone is not active or stolen or if there is an iCloud account on an iPhone now we have to worry about them being "rented"? And there is no DB for this, you would have to call every Rent to Own shop in the ares to verify it's safe to buy.
But enough ranting, I too have heard that flashing Cyanogenmod works to remove this lock. I mean the losers who rent a phone and then sell it are scum. You check the ESN and it's clean, 6 months later you get RAC ads and pin locks? No way...
So, the method you've outlined has no steps for rooting or unlocking the bootloader. Does this work simply because it's being flashed via Odin as opposed to the usual way of rooting and reflashing.
I called RAC and of course they are not sillng to help. My business didn't even have a shop when I purchased that S5, and now months later the customer I sold it to comes back to me with this. I understand why in a way but what does she expect me to do? I've never heard of or seen this RAC bs until now.
This phone jas already been factory unlocked which can be done only by netting contractual obligations. Besides, how is it fair to flag the device? How could anyone possibly have known it was a "rental". Who the heck rents phones? Seems like abwhite trashy thing to do. The selling of said item makes it that even more so. Leaving the innocent people to deal with the hassle.
Someone please tell me there is a way around this, this is THE mobile development site. Not "A" site...THE site. This device has unwanted bloatware on it basically. So let's remove it. Again, how does one flash a custom recovery and Rom with no root access or an unlocked bootloader?
Thanks in advance!

Actually, nevermind, this answered all of my questions. Have not tried it yet, but I'm confident... I'll let you all know of it works. Cheers!
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_klte
Sucks for people like me who buy a phone only to find out six months later it was stolen from rent a center. Then get treated the way I am getting treated by them. I can not believe that there is nothing on the phones that lets you know it is from them. Thought I was just buying an unlocked phone. If anyone in Illinois could help me get this unlocked with cyanogenmod I would appreciate it.
Please help

VRALL4 soft bricked my phone. "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless"
This update bricked my phone and I don't know why. I was watching YouTube videos, went to go pee and came back to a "System software is not authorized by Verizon Wireless" message. This was minutes before I had to leave to work so I just popped my SIM in my galaxy nexus . Anybody know how to undo this? I got no warnings of update. I only found out about the update just now online. it sopped working around 10am pst ,the time of update (at least this was a constant time I found online for it). Im rooted but not unlocked cause I had no desire to change Roms. And thus I am not backed up at all.
Any way to fix without Odin stock flash? I wanted to give up on flashing with this phone. Ugh.
Thanks
Nope. Had the same thing and had to Odin.
It has a bootloader in it. If you guys are gonna mess with your devices, you need to steer clear of OTAs unless given the all clear by those who know.

Exactly my point. I never wanted to mess with this phone. Never even wanted to unlock it. Didnt get an option to update. The screen just popped up.
If I had the option I would of said no since I didnt want to lose root. I need my RootDim app or all go crazy.
But thanks adrnalyne. I've always admired your work but now try and stay clear of all this ROM/kernel business.
If anybody would know what happen I thought you would. Spontaneous Verizon bricking...

I've a feeling its the bootloader, although it shouldn't have been possible if you had a custom recovery. Were you using the stock recovery?
If you did anything besides root your phone, the OTA should have failed at some point in the verification process.

Yeah stock recovery. I've never even booted to recovery. Loved this phone just the way it was. Maybe I'll just Odin tonight after work and lose everything. Is this a Verizon problem or does this screen come up with other carriers? Will this phone work on ATT or T-Mobile? Last straw with vzw. I can't get a concrete answer online. Some say yes some say no

Changing carrier won't stop the annoyances you see with the device. You have to change the device too.
As I mentioned in another thread, all carriers suck. It wasn't all that long ago that ATT didn't allow sideloading.

That's what you'll have to do is ODIN back to stock and start over

Yeah. You managed to softbrick it.....odin back to stock is easier than bricking your phone.
Re: VRALL4 soft bricked my phone. "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless
I have that issue now..im using wifeys phone. I can get to download mode. I flashed stockroot66 from galaxynote2.com it went 75% then failed. I tried the stock rom as well. No go on my end.
I think I have to unick bootloader and then flash the stock rom. Is that possible for me to unlock bootloader then flash?
I hope im making sense. Please correct me if im wrong.

Good one, Tell me this what is the name of the recovery image, backup image, nandroid, wtfe, that you used on your device, and whats the device brand, model name, and model number? These are the details needed to help you.. Also, what type of custom recovery is on your device TWRP --CWM?

Am i the only one that loves to search on Google when i face a problem?
These terms i speak of , are backup images for your tablet.
Let me explain better. Your device is like a computer. It has a OS, operating system, Your tablet is probably Android ?
When you first get the phone, before you change anything, it has a stock recovery, so if you play with it too much, and mess it up , you can return it to factory settings, like a computers recovery partition.
or the factory oem disks they send you if you break your PC. Well within the Open source community, you can find these images for your tablet, MAYBE... depends on how cool your tablet is.
Search my friend. Talk to the guy who sold you a hunk o junk, and ask him.. or make Google" your best friend...
Missed your last line of your reply,
i do factory data reset from settings.

You may be out of luck, there was a reason, the guy was selling his tablet on ebay, it's cuz it was halfway broken...

Lol...He doesn't know what a kernel,recovery or nandroid is and you expect him to have changed his kernel or recovery to root and install cwm or twrp?Ask your best friend on how to gain cwm without changing recovery and lets face the rest in future. And what he needs to search for when he is a noob with no knowledge on what it came with?Understand that everyone on xda doesn't know much about those and even some about root!do thinking everyone here has their phone rooted and installed custom recovery is just foolish!
You have to act sensibly when trying to help a noob.Answer your best or if you can't just ignore the question and someone with more knowledge will help.Dont mislead noobs!
To the OP(The thread creator): After factory reset,it is normal for the device to start up late.It may take well above 5 minutues because it has to rebuild device setup wizards (not technical but to understand).So wait for about 10 mins.If it doesn't boot,ask your seller if he knows how to enter stock recovery.Then you may do another factory reset from there and see if it works.

I browse through these threads every day and nobody helps these "noobz" as you call them. or they put up an ignorant reply. atleast i took my time and gave him my opinion. Before i posted, nothing was on here. Even if he does not have a rooted device, after receiving my answer, he now has terms to go to "Google" and search them out. A"backup image" is on a phone rather its rooted or not. If he is not using a phone to get on XDA then he is probably on a computer, i tried to explain things and relate them with computer terms, thank u and God bless

Seriously???God damn!Dude..please dont talk about something you never know of!How and where in the earth(well in phone actually) would the "BACKUP IMAGE"(the whole system as you mean) would be stored except those nandroid and craps done after rooting??Again I say,dont answer if you are unsure of it.Its not your device and you are putting someone's else device at risk.It is far better to ignore or give/refer to an alternative than misguiding!
So, you trying to start a flame war on this "new users" thead, Let me ask you this , when you press data /factory reset on your phone, How does it return it to factory setting, Is it not a image that it uses to return everything to normal?
Really? your advice to the lil dude was wait 5 minutes. HMMM
Why don't you explain to me, What is an OTA package, when our phones upgrade "over the air" ...is this not an image that is sent to our phone to install update images?
But i guess you do not know? Because i'm looking at 3 OTA on my sd card , one themed by guspeed, one rooted, and a normal one..but i don't know about phones right?
With PlayfulGod's and Hroark13' hard work, I was able to compile a 10.1 jellybeer rom with mods, but i dont know about phones right?
Hi all
I read all of you comments, Somebody says wait 5minutes, i do whole 15minutes it was freezed, after that i turn off computer.
once my tablet after 5minutes working is became hot and hot and when will be very hot it stopping and if i do not turn off tablet nothing doing. tablet work fine when it is cold... pls help me what can i do?

Dude!I'm not here for a flame war!Every android phone has something called /system and /data./system contains all your rom's apk,framework,libs etc and your /data contains your personal data,apps downloaded from playstore,app data,settings etc.When you do a factory reset,your /data gets wiped off/formatted and hence all your settings gone and your phone is new again.And when it boots again,it has to dex optimise the apks and framework (if deodexed),setup your phone for first boot etc apart from starting core services and hence the delay for the first time.
OTA updates are never an IMG!OFC or phone's roms are not mere 30mb or 40mb!And if you dont get surprised I have received a 15mb update and you think galaxy note with soooooo many features can be packed into 15mb when its odin rom image is aroung 700mb?Thats 46x compression and I dont think it exists!OTA updates are just a zip containing diff files from the previous build which gets updated through stock recovery(more like flashing a custom rom but automated and some changes in zip).That never proves to be a backup to the entire phone!
All those 3OTA's in your phone you are looking at are not OTA!Its just a cwm update zip IMO!Get it checked with guspeed.
Oh...you compiled a rom!Good work :good: but if you really understood what you were doing,you must also have come to know what I have said above and feel free to verify it with others .
Oh...and for all your question at the end: Yes, you were right .Sorry Ego is human's devil!
If you still feel,I dont know anything thats fine.Please let me know how to restore the "backup image" you said without root and I will be happy to learn it.Unfortunately your best friend (mine too) didnt help me out
Finally,Im stopping it here.I dont have to increase my post count on BS!Will be reporting for a clean up.

Thank you -- ?2011 for your info, See that is the reason i am here. Not only to help but also to learn.
The OTA "packages were frauds, I did not know this. They pushed them in the thread as real OTA images from the latest upgrade.
As far as the tablet- I think its , like i said before-halfway broken..

No no, When I use tablet for 5 minute it became hot in backside. and when it will be very hot stops working and rebooted himself.

I have a Galaxy Light, and I'm fairly knowledgeable about the device. But I don't understand gibberish. You need to tell us exactly what you did, and try to speak in English without typos.

Don't use T-Mobiles firmware on your MetroPCS phone.
This is what you need to do.
And for the love of all that is good in this world, next time DO A BACKUP before flashing things. You installed TWRP, which gives you the ability to make a complete backup of your system exactly as it is at that point in time. If you had done a back-up before you screwed up your phone, it would have taken you but a few minutes to unscrew it.
I apologize for being harsh, but it seems to me like you really need to read and research a lot more. I always (well, usually...almost bricked my tablet the other day) read everything I can find about something potentially risky before doing it. Let this be a learning experience for you. Read as much as you can, understand what it is you are actually doing rather than just following some guide, and if you don't understand, just ask. I and most of us here would rather you asked a noobish question instead of going blindly ahead and screwing your phone up. Playing around with root and recovery and flashing without understanding it is like thinking you can perform open heart surgery with a meat cleaver because you've seen every episode of ER, Scrubs, and Grey's Anatomy.
thanks

Hm. I didn't think about that. I think you might need to get an SD card. Go on Amazon or eBay and pick one up. An 8GB one can be had for literally a few bucks, but a 64GB class 10 one for $35 is an awesome thing too.
Ok
Ok, and with the back up download how do I get the in twrp. Should I put it in a zip file or leave it how it is
ok im a retard

ok so i cannot figure out how to do this.
i have the sgh-t399n galaxy light- with no os installed, i have twrp on my phone. and i have a backup a sd card. but when i go to restore in twrp the backup isnt there, and ive tried going threw the file options to move it to where is it suposed to go but no such luck. i thought maybe a terminal command would work but i have no clue what command to use. if you could help one more time that would be awesome
You can always use Samsung Kies 3 to flash your phone back to stock. You need your serial number though, and for some reason it is not printed on the back of the device(at least for me). A call to tech support should get that sorted anyway.
Alternatively, you can do this with Odin to a very similar effect. Search Google for something like "T399NUVUANK3 tar" to get the file you need, my personal backup is corrupt so I can't share.

Ugh... I own a t399n and I'm doing some real development on it. . I've made a stock odex and deodexed rooted zip files for the t399n and haven't posted them yet. . If you're in a bad way still hit me up and I'll have you up and running in no time. Fun things coming for metro users. Who says you have to pay for a high end device to have a high end device? He he he....
Do you have a backup I bicked my samsung galaxy light metropcs then I unbricked it by restoring a backup for the samsung galaxy light that I found online. Search fresh backup for samsung galaxy light sgh t399n.

I just love getting an email alert at 4am because someone quoted me to post absolutely nothing of substance.
It's relevant because IT WAS A YEAR AGO! I don't remember why I was so cranky that day. I did apologize to him for it. Did you notice that I also still did my best to help him? Do you have a solution to his problem? Does he even still have this phone, given that it was a year ago? If you want to fixate on my posts, fixate on the hundreds of times I've been thanked for helping others, especially going above and beyond helping people find the perfect device for them. I'm not here to be grumpy, I'm here to help people, and get help when needed. Why are you here? To pester me? Look, I respect my elders, and you're clearly older, but at the same time don't presume to talk down to me. Try reflecting on yourself and your motive in making a useless post, bumping a thread dead for several months (a severe breach of netiquette), purely to insult another member.
Come to think of it, my email alert wasn't because I was quoted (I have that feature turned off). I got the alert because I'm still subscribed to this thread, having done so in case there were new posts that might enable me to help the OP. I suppose I should unsubscribe, giving the fact that nobody has posted anything of use or substance in 7 months or so.
OK I have question for developing if possible or someone more qualified than myself it's about the bootloader on verizon s4 I know it's locked down but I wondering if there is a way to go back to a previous version and unlock the bootloader
OK so here is what I did I tried unlocking bootloader with ez unlock for the s3 by the way this was my s4 i545 I tried this on .OK so I installed gave superuser permissions it said wasn't sure if my bootloader was unlocked but had a button to unlock it so I pressed it and it did something not sure what then it said it was successful. OK I then backed out and all my apps still worked phone still working until I powered down to try and get into download mode then phone bricked and yes hard bricked I know I can probably use jtag service for phone but my question is. If somehow it did unlock my bootloader can we use this and flashfire to maybe flash an older firmware like say the one that has an unlock able bootloader maybe

That's the stupidest thing i've seen on this board yet. But i haven't been here long. Samsung is a team full of selfish bastards for boobytrapping these things and trying to pawn them off as Look-see this here is android it's customizeable all you want, then they screw you into taking their lollipop crapware, and then they screw you into not being able to flash your way out of it.l And here you are saying crap like this. This place i thought was here for people to learn, but i've seen quite a few pricks here already in my short time. A lot of really smart helpful people. Two types that should be kicked off this place- idiots like you and people who talk too much like me.

Short answer: no, probably not.
Longer answer: if you want an unlocked bootloader, get a Nexus. I know that sucks, but I'm tired of messing with all this locked down.... stuff. I'll get my Nexus 6 in the mail tomorrow.
Long answer: sometimes, but it's a long, dangerous trip. (Not noob friendly at all-trust me, I've been there over and over)
If you remain undaunted, figure out what exactly which bootloader you have, and do some googling.

fortunately for everyone reading this, youre wrong. this brick is fixable with the boot.img file for the bootloader you were on when ya bricked it mounted to a sd card of equal size to the internal (if the phone came with a 16 but there was a 32 option, you can also use a 32). The hardware will look for the bootloader on the internal, and if it fails, it moved to internal sd, and if THAT fails, it looks finally on usb. There are many threads about this, and i personally fixed an sch-i535 in the EXACT same way.
also, not nice to chastise people when youre as wrong as they are...... so be nice......

now this guy is on the right path. If you have a locked bootloader, the only ways to unlock it is if the carrier decides that its ok for samsung to issue a tar.md5 that can do it, a dev figures out a way around the security or if you were to connect the motherboard to a JTAG to force a previous firmware onto it that already has an unlocked bootloader. So if yours is locked, youll need to wait for an unlock or be clever enough to dink around with the coding and get it done yourself. That last option is not likely, not that im doubting your knowledge, its just that its nearly impossible to do so.

this is fact "bro". Ive walked a few people thru this process and helped them revive their "hardbricked" phones. Is it guaranteed to work on every baseband? No, there arent any guarantees in any of this stuff. And there wasnt any mention as to what baseband he was on.....
I never said that its unlockable, i was suggesting how one could go about unbricking their phone as opposed to throwing in the ocean.
and for your trolling, get a day job... youre terrible at it "bro"....

Okay first thing first...
This thread is now under new & better management as it is now only about the device itself, but also rooting, custom recoveries, & even xposed specifically for the LG K7!
if you have any questions about any of the fun topics here please feel free to PM/post your questions here.
LGMS330 source code
Somehow & IDK how, but I downloaded the source code for the lgms330 & it also comes with instruction to make a custom rom with it!!!!!
I'm so excited!!! once I get my phone back from LG to fix my phone & send it back to me...(they won't let me fix it myself)
Im going to build cyanogenmod & TWRP for LG K7 in the meantime
so here's the download link for the LGMS330 source code...it contains the kernel as well!

1. I rooted my lg k7 (metropcs)
2. I created an app to install the xposed framework WITHOUT A RECOVERY
3. It work! but after further testing my app....it started to reboot my phone whenever I tried to run the installer script...since xposed framework was already installed from the first initial attempt....it way suppose to say it way already installed...but this only happen on this device but NOT my shield TV(i do NOT know why & do NOT have any logs)
4. after my latest testing of getting everything to work...I tried the latest concept I came up with a better way to install xposed framework succesfully...
5. it failed completely since now I soft brick my device...so in order to fix my device now.... is for anyone who has this device & has root could give me the following:
1. boot.img
2.userdata.img
3. recovery.img
4. system.img
5. other img file here
I really need this phone to work again because app development & (hacking) is a hobby of mine & the lg k7 is my only phone that has root & my only MAIN phone too since my kyocera hydro wave sucks & its sorta hardware broken....
also I did explained a few thing about the app im in the middle making...BUT, Once I fix this bug(s)....I will try to release it on google play or somewhere on here
you won't believe how easy it was...to do it without a recovery!

And from what i see is a boom in one click rooters messing up binary and tripping knox and bootloops are the ffirst occurence of little knowledge ..... bootloops keep the kiddies busy becoming Adults. I had bootloops when i was a kid too.but the FRP binary pick up and kknox kickin half of us {me included} on the knobel kernel...... im sick of bootloops tooo

Ok ok........ would a senior developer help me out a little.... heres what i wanna post...... unboxing 2) lg ms330 k7 metro mobile devices and romdump.... going to do all partitions raw .img and .tar zips with exceptions that must be in place to use as recovery ....... root solution .... or root failure lol... recovery images with all info (ill make sure to flip the goo.gl FRP switch the wrong way once !

I used the latest kingroot from the official site to root - then used Supersu Me from the Playstore to replace kingroot with Chainfire's Supersu. Worked like a charm, not a single issue.

I havent tried to install supersu in my terminal app (yet) I just finished on my app & just started testing it on my own....I will try to add a supersu option for anyone who has root, but not from supersu
It seems most can't understand the situstion im in....
I actually rooted my device, but the complications came after when i made an app to install the xposed framework...it worked the first time, but when i tried to install it again to see what will happen...the app crashed & rebooted my phone...after the third attempt I was left with a brick....
So my issue here is that I DID NOT have trouble on gaining root....HOWEVER I figured out why my app broke my phone & I fixed my issue(s) & added many safety protocols to be initated if the the same case ever happen again

Is there a stone cold reliable method to root and flash TWRP for the k7 with minimal risk?
LG K7 MS330 MetroPCS rooted recovery image in TWRP or CWM would be the answer

Not as well as I liked.... K7 a little akward
I had as just a hard time if not equal to the ms770 stylo ... Im beginning to not like LG grrrr. It's almost like the bootloader is locking .... As this thread started it was all about the su binary not taking it then maybe rooted after restore. But in both devices I had to uninstall root. Just had root until reboot and a mess after that. Is there another issue with the bootloader on lg? I can say that I think there is a diference in su ap and installed binary so pay attention.
I did not do well in my imaging ability... I should have reached to ask assistance but need to start and finish these two. I went ahead and customed them with out root apps ... The buyers didnt carecause they never seen root apps anyway. Im getting another this week ... More time hopefully
I've seen quite a few people swear off LG. In my opinion their phones aren't bad but I guess as far as 3rd party developement, they make it difficult.

my personal opinion is playing is that using apps without recovery is stupid. i am also guilty of being stupid/impatient and f'n up my phone. but lets not encourage stupidity bro. educate the people. i installed xposed through adb before recovery was available too but, and for those of us that are just tired of typing the commands, copy, paste,rename directory and all its awesome. but to mass distribute it to the masses of newbs????? how many willl soft brick their phone cause thet wanted their wifi signal bars to look like a deathstar. (yes, mine do) i've had more than a few items in the repository cause mine to bootloop. and this is complicated and frustrating to fix as i'm sure you saw that recovery only has factory reset option. they don't give you superuser permissions out of the box for a reason. theyd loss their ass doing warranty repairs and file bankruptcy. and then no more android. sorry bro better shuck out that 600 bucks for that new iphone that seriously looks exactly like that other iphone when you turn it on. oh, and my sisters tablet after it got the latest update. i've been up too long and i'm babling all this to say i'm searching site for system.img because i dropped and broke my first k7. and when i got the new one and didn't unlock bootloader 2nd time.

i feel like jeff goldbloom in jurassic park "they spent so much time trying to figure out whether or not they should they never stop to think about wether or not they should" lol. do you have the system.img? picked up a sweet send_command unbrick method from dealing with a boost stylo. non unlockable bootloader. no custom recovery. this made this unbrick guide and gave up on twrp for it. my girl got one cause i had a metro version thats badass. i love it best bargain out there for the price. but i dropped it out of the attic at workand now the cell radio doesn't work. wifi bluetooth and all are good though and the case did protect the screen but no longer functions as a phone???? go figure got this k7 cause that was all i could afford that very day. a week later i'm bootlooping it being careless even though i know better. this is my little hobbie but my girl gets mad i spend too much time at home so i be trying to do things riding to work in between houses and want to have phone back up and functional before get there cause let's face it. trying to explain that your phone was bootlooping all day and you needed a file off your pc to fix it andthats why havent answered all day only works a few times before it gets ugly. lol. babbling again system.img please?

Are you asking us if we have the clean fresh ms330 rooted recovery image along with the images written route of system root for integral forensic troubleshooting for later non recovery solvable issues? The image im trying to figure out how to make on this freshly rooted k7 sitting in front of me with barely a sign on ... on to it. The one that every little question is crucial to someone else maybe rooting their devise if i do this right?
Was that the question?
What kills me is IVE NEVER EVEN SEEN A CWM RECOVERY and i gotta make an image for one ? ! > ! HELP
I am not joking ..... I havent been a PHONIE long. LOL I cant believe i get any of it this far along ...... I did brick and run over 3 Sams notes along the way!
any way any help? i seem to be a little alone in this endeavor

Watching. Waiting. Wishing...
Read that some one made the KINGROOT TO CHAINFIRE SU conversation but then ended in a bootloop. I need to know if the switch was the cause or was it because of something else? I would love to switch and have a terminal script to do so but not chancing a brick or loop.

So as soon as i do a rom dumo and make a library of stock images to post im going to start a busyboc and see what i can do. i have 2 and endless possibilities of complete restore if nothing happes to the chassis.
:cyclops:
And from what i see is a boom in one click rooters messing up binary and tripping knox and bootloops are the ffirst occurence of little knowledge ..... bootloops keep the kiddies busy becoming Adults. I had bootloops when i was a kid too.but the FRP binary pick up and kknox kickin half of us {me included} on the knobel kernel...... im sick of bootloops tooo

Somehow & IDK how, but I downloaded the source code for the lgms330 & it also comes with instruction to make a custom rom with it!!!!!
I'm so excited!!! once I get my phone back from LG to fix my phone & send it back to me...(they won't let me fix it myself)
Im going to build cyanogenmod & TWRP for LG K7 in the meantime

I can download the actual source code for the LG ms330(LG K7) yet LG wont send me the same firmware file for me to flash in download mode so I can fix my phone myself...I really did like LG though....but this screwed me on a whole new level.
