Got stuck on htc screen after trying to flash supersu so I relocked my bootloader and tried to ruu but the ruu isn't working. Setup utility finishes and shows me the agreement screen, I click I agree, and then it just closes and goes away. Please guys I need help what do I do
So, you are trying to run an ruu in Windows with an exe? Have you tried the zip run?
Yes and no. I workedit put, but the .exe is still not acting right, googled it and seems to a common prob
Be sure you right click and run as administrator and make sure no other programs that can talk to your phone are installed (HTC Sync is a common culprit)

Your confusion is understandable, and fairly common. But the differences are significant:
Unlocked: Sense OS with no carrier branding
Developer's Edition: Same as "unlocked" but comes from the factory with bootloader unlocked and no write protection on system partition. The US Developer's Edition is virtually the same in specs to the AT&T version (in fact, the same model ID or MID) meaning it has the same band support, just without AT&T's meddling (bloatware apps, limitations).
Google Play Edition (GPE): No Sense features. This is fairly close to a "pure" Google experience, similar to Nexus branded devices; meaning no manufacturer "skinning" such as Sense (or at least a minimum of it). Another important difference, is that the GPE RUU will modify the partitioning on the phone. The system (OS or ROM) partition is much smaller on GPE, and the "extra" space results in more user-accessible (media) storage. But it also means you can't install most Sense ROMs unless you "convert" back to the Sense partition scheme.; since the system partition is too small to fit a Sense ROM
Depending on what RUU you pick (such as Dev Edition vs. GPE), the band support on the device may change. So be aware.
To fully convert to one of the above, you need to have s-off, then change to the proper CID ( and possibly MID) to match what the RUU requires.
Thank you for your reply, I am on original at&t lollipop 5.01/s off /boot unlocked. I bought htc mobile because I like sense so can you please give me links to install dev edition /unlocked version.... Any thing no problem I just want a mobile with otg updates..

OTA updates. OTG is something else entirely.
It sound like what you want, is to "fully convert" to stock Dev Edition, and be able to get official updates. That being the case, you will need to:
1) Root and s-off
2) Change to the Developer's Edition carrier ID (CID)
3) Run the Dev Edition RUU. The RUUs are posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751432
Thank you, I have successfully installed dev edition using this site http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-...edition-for-super-fast-sense-updates-0156524/ getting ota updates also...

Since you are s-off, there is no need or reason to relock the bootloader. Also, I don't recommend to relock it (with s-off), as mentioned there is no reason to relock, and RELOCKED gives you less options for mods or recovering from problems.
Either way, relocking the bootloader won't help your SD write issue. Also, this isn't granted with root alone. You need to permit SD write permissions on an app-by-app basis.
Ok thank you but still supersu installed. Will it cause any problems?? I am not able to remove it or open it... When ever I try to open it, it is saying it my phone is partially rooted r reroot it..

You can unlock bootloader by using htc method go to htcdev.com. Note using this voids the warranty.
What is the diff between this and the other one click root available?

I don't know how the OP set up this script, but if he didn't include adb you need to install the Android SDK and put the folder with adb.exe in your path environmental variable.
If you aren't sure what that means that's fine, but I suggest doing a bit more research before you wander so deep into the sea of Android modding. If you don't know what you are doing you can have a very bad time.

Not exactly sure what you mean by this... Those are the same files that get put on the device with the other root. Also, unfortunately, the zip to flash will not work, you mount /system as an MTD partition, not eMMC, and you only place the busybox binary in xbin. I guess busybox will still work, it's just not installed with the symlinks. Hope this helps ya out

So do I have to do something to fix the bootloop issue? Also why is that so? You need to have a bricked phone before you could make a patched bootloader.

wipe data factory reset(data, dalvik and cache)
that fixes the bootloop!
and modifying the bootloader is quite risky, if you do something wrong it could fail to write, fastboot and adb can fail to operate, cauld cause major issues that are un repairable without riffbox etc.. and even sometimes that doesnt work...
looks good, but bugs as above..
so pls solve them soon

Do we need 20 toolkits doing the same stuff? People need to learn what they are doing. With the rise of kits there is a rise in bricked phones for stupid reasons. People flashing cm kernels on non cm roms because they have no idea.

That's funny. So you revived a 4 month old Dead Thread for what?? So we could hear your useless stupid rants about a contribution that someone wanted to make, an area which you have failed to achieve. If people don't read and know what they are doing then that is their fault, not someone who wanted to learn and or grow his skills by creating a toolkit. Put your skills to something useful and release something of your own, don't go being critical trying to revive old threads for no reason; and complaining about toolkits all over various Nexus 5 threads. Grow Up!
1.0 Introduction
This is a series of guides that will cover the basics of ROMs, kernels, recoveries, installation and so on. Questions asked in here will be answered as fast as possible. This is not a thread for unbricking your device, but rather to avoid getting into a situation where you end up with a bricked device. I do realise that the LG G2 is a year old, but since its price has dropped, it offers A LOT of value for money and while some people leave for newer devices, other people grab the G2.
1.1 Rooting
Let's cover the basics steps of rooting, installing a custom recovery and making your first backup.
If you do not know what root is, a brief explanation would be getting access to the root of your device. What that means is that you get access to parts of your device that are otherwise hidden - because the average Joe would not know what to do with root access and could possibly end up with a device that is unusable. As implied, there is a risk involved in rooting your device, although with the LG G2 the action is most often reversable.
Disclaimer: I cannot be held responsible for any damage you do to your device. Following this guide should be safe, but there is a risk involved
So how do you root your LG G2?
The absolute easiest way is to download towelroot. If your software version is 20G or newer, (or if towelroot doesn't work for you) try stump root. Link further below.
towelroot can be downloaded from towelroot.com
Click the lambda, download the apk file and install it.
If you get a pop up message claiming that the apk is dangerous, agree to it and continue installing. As previously mentioned, rooting IS not risk free, and this application abuses an exploit in the kernel.
After installing and opening, press "make it ra1n". That will root your device.
When finished, reboot. Then go to Play Store and download SuperSU. SuperSU is an application that will allow apps to gain superuser access and it is vital for any root user.
Now you have root and the ability to give SuperUser access to apps.
EDIT: For Software versions 20G and up, towelroot doesn't work anymore, use stump root instead.
Link is here: Stump Root for LG Devices
1.2 Installing a Custom Recovery
Why is a custom recovery necessary? It is, because it’s the easiest way (and often the only way) to get your device back and working in case you get stuck in a bootloop. It’s also vital for flashing custom ROMS and custom kernels.
How do I get one? Well, there’s an app for that!
Check out this thread to get AutoRec, an application that’ll automatically install a custom recovery to your G2! Credits go to @Cloudyfa and @bender_007 CLICK HERE
IMPORTANT!
MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD THE CORRECT VERSION FOR YOUR DEVICE!!!!!!
After downloading, install the application, allow it superuser access and install a custom recovery.
When finished, reboot to recovery. You’ll need to take a backup of your working ROM.
2.0 Making a backup of your working ROM and vital partitions
Now you should be in recovery:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Tap “Backup”, and backup the following partitions:
Boot
System
Data
EFS
The backup will take roughly 3 minutes to finish, be patient. When it’s done, reboot system.
Make a few copies of the backup. ALWAYS have a backup on your device , keep one on your computer and one on a microSD somewhere.
Cheers for this...looking at possibly buying it soon. So I guess this will work even regardless if its a D800 or D802?

Yay I'm happy it could help anybody!
Yes it should, but it depends on which software version your D800 comes with. If towelroot doesn't work, IOroot or Stumproot should work Try this out when you get it - if it doesn't work, quote this message (so that I get a mail) and let me know.
Will do cheers. Yeah looking at buying a D802 from Hong Kong hy the end of this month, so no idea what kind of software its going to come with [emoji53]. Plus I want to install the G3 ROM onto it pretty much straightaway. Never rooted before but seems fairly straight forward.
should point out that autorec is for kitkat only afaik
also towelroot doesn't work on some of the later kitkat roms, but you can use 'stump' root instead

Install SuperSU
Install Greenify/WLD/G2 Xposed
Later on, wanted to use warranty, and was a lil worried, but it seems undetectable, especially since I've deleted SuperSU and Xposed..
I did not:
Install custom recovery
Install custom ROM
So, anyone else considering using towelroot, but hesitating because of the potential warranty implications, this should help make up ur mind..
This thread is what i am looking for so THANKS alot OP. Really helped us noobs. Can You do TuTs(noob friendly) on 'How to install custom roms using Autorec' or kk based ROms or kernels to LP based roms and kernels etc kinda like that flashing basebands and all for LG g2 D802 ? Cheers m8

That is incorrect, AutoRec is also for Lollipop, I used it to install TWRP on my LS980

I have the same device. I want to get custom recovery. ... My its new. Can you help me?
Warning this is engboot, meaning its not made to be used on day to day basis you may run into some issues. Hopefully we can fix them as we go!
Also do not update supersu through playstore untill we are for sure that it wont mess anything up
Notice from @Chainfire:
Chainfire said:
I'm just going to leave this here...
SuperSU-v2.74-2-S7QC.zip
You will need:
- Engineering boot images
- Patched version of Odin3 (only AT&T models ?)
- Extract files, and run root.bat with adb on the path
This version of SuperSU is not officially supported. I recommend against updating the APK from the Play Store, or otherwise updating the binaries, unless someone knowledgable has tried before you and confirmed it worked.
If it breaks, you get to keep all the pieces.

First of all thanks to @Chainfire for helping achieve su and @princecomsy for giving me the odin file and engboot
I take no responsibility for anything that happens to your device, same goes for everyone that helped.
First file you will need is here http://d-h.st/gsDA
This is special Odin to bypass SHA-256 made by Princecosmy
Second file you will need is
G935A http://d-h.st/lQY8
G930A http://d-h.st/aK2A
This is the engboot. Using @billas since its already uploaded.
Basically once you have these two files open up the odin included and place the .tar in the ap section should only take a few seconds to flash.
After you are back up download SuperSU made for our phone from here https://download.chainfire.eu/968/SuperSU/SuperSU-v2.74-2-S7QC.zip
Extract the files to a folder.
Here it may get a bit tricky for some.
Go to your adb install location. Open a command window where your adb files are located.
Change the directory to your supersu folder location from earlier, and run the root.bat from the cmd.
I am not very good at instructions as this is my first time doing anything like this.
For the bounty id prefer if you just donate to https://secure.savethechildren.org/....C01C/Global_Action_Fund/apps/ka/sd/donor.asp
Makes more of a lasting impact then what i could do with any of it.
Again thank you to everyone who helped!
We made it fam!
If you are successful after rooting and can give better instructions please let me know!
Thanks a lot.....you guys are awesome...
Thanks! I'll be trying this for T-Mobile varient. But can someone please mirror the Speedyshare links? I can't download them for some reason. Popup blockers perhaps?

Will this work for the ATT S7 Edge? When you say not to use on day to day basis, do you do root stuff then revert back to regular kernel?

You can use it on a day to day basis. Dont try going back it will remove what you have done. The issues if there are any are minor.
And yes it is for ATT S7 edge.
I have a few questions here.
What exactly is going on with this root process? Is it installing a recovery? Will this trip knox? I assume Samsung Pay won't work anymore? Can we finally used xposed? If so, which version?
How can one revert if we felt the need to?
I feel so sorry for @br3w3r for having to deal with all of the Q&A after all of this hard work. LOL! But seriously, thanks for all of this.

I'll be installing soon too. But I'm doing something first.
While downloading G935TUVS3APD8_G935TTMB3APD8_TMB firmware (just in case) I'm also backing everything up with Smart Switch first. Just in case.

First you have to root your phone. If you don't know what root is, google is your friend.
You'll need to download Kingroot After root you can switch from KR to SU DOWNLOAD to switch to SuperSU you'll first need to downgrade to Kingroot.4.1 DOWNLOAD . Just extract the zip and there is a text file inside with instructions on how to use it. I found that you should install SuperSU before running the script in a Terminal Emulator
We have a new recovery just for our phone ported by kirito9recovery-twrp-3.x-5054N-new.img so please go thank him.
DOWNLOAD
The recovery was updated to version TWRP 3.0.3
DOWNLOAD
After you have root you can flash the recovery-twrp-3.x-5054N-new.img using either Flashify or my favorite Rashr

To get the Xposed Framework working on Lollipop you'll need the app made for Lollipop XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apkDOWNLOAD you'll also need to flash the xposed-v87-sdk22-arm.zip DOWNLOAD There is also a xposed-uninstaller-20160829-x86.zip in case you want to uninstall it DOWNLOAD

hi everyone i have a question.
i really would like to make a rom for this phone.
ive been trying to use various programs
like "ASSAYYED"
which i found on this site. ive built a stock.zip and it installs with twrp. with no errors but then it will give me the system.ui
quit error.
so my question is
1. if this phone is bootloader locked would i not be able to install a update.zip in the first place? ive seen bootloader locked phones before and when u try to install update.zip normaly it will display a screen after and say unoffical firmware or something right?. So seeing as you can install a .zip doesnt that mean that you can run a custom rom on this phone?
2. if a developer can look at my zip and see maybe if update script is wrong. i would appreciate it.
with the stock .exe file this phone is perrty much unbrickable.
like to thanks to everyone that has helped with this phone. with the custom recovery and the stock images i found on this site. all of you are awesome!
and ASSAYYED developer. really detailed program. :good: :laugh: :highfive:
Has anyone had luck unlocking the bootloader or installing a custom rom?
..
Can someone send me the KingRoot 4
1 cuz the link is down
Hey I've been reading up on the lg k10 (same hardware) and they were able to unlock the bootloader with a patched aboot file. Would it be possible for someone to make one for this phone to unlock the bootloader the same way?

i dont think we`re gonna get the source code seeing as the device isnt even listed in alcatels help forums , i think we might be able to port a rom using the stock kernel and maybe even get a nougat rom going , im looking at the lg k10 forums (same hardware so we might be able to port one of there roms) and ive seen that they have been pretty succesful with making a patched aboot file to unlock the bootloader but idk if they have the source code , anyways back to my thing i think that we could port the stock marshmallow rom from the lg k10 with some tweaks of course or we could deodex the stock rom and customize it as it is . also i was hoping someone could make a flashable stock zip for this phone as i have no pc and am trying to do this stuff with my phone , i believe i can maybe port a cm12.1 rom using my phone but i think it`d be allot faster if someone with better expertise and a pc could help me do this
ayuda por favor tengo un one touch 5450n hice todo y no pasa del twrp lo reinicio y se queda asi
