proudly present a advanced method of rooting developed by saurik. he developed a software for rooting which is cydia impactor. grab it from its official site cydiaimpactor.com and run it on your pc.and connect your android phone to pc. goto usb device menu of software and scan usb. now select to push su binary in your device after it completed. your android must be rooted as you can also run any app which need root but you can also use supersu to update su binary.
It is interesting and i will try this and let you know if any problem is there.
Hi, I have an LG Power that has been rooted, and it was working fine until about a day ago, when I was trying to install TWRP and it didn't work. Each time I try to enter recovery mode, it says
The way I tried to install TWRP was by replacing the system hard reset file.
The TWRP file was made for the LG Leon, but the leon is almost identical to the LG Power. HELP!

How do you root a Tracfone? They are locked down tighter than garbage in a trash compactor.
I have the Lg Power as well. It has been stuck on the LG emblem. I need the stock firmware to flash back. Someone please help. 5.0.1 L22CV10a.1421747164, sdk 21 --MSM8916 Linux 3.10.49-gfa9ace2-00001-gbce8a10 Device y50c I am new to this but i had rooted the phone, had custom recovery installed. Didnt know that it replaced the recovery file and did a hard reset. But i can easily explain how to root and replace kingroot with superuser. I just need help locating the factory firmware. Have looked and cant find anything on this phone. Thx
Anyone know Chinese?

Looks like someone on here is posted the rom, but you need to sign up to see the DL links. I tried signing up, but it gave me an error. I may be doing something wrong, as most of the site looks like it is in Chinese...
I just used xda RootJunky's Amazon Fire 5th Gen SuperTool (April 6, 2016 version), JUST AS IT IS, to root my Tracfone LG L22C Power. With only a couple of mouse clicks.
Tracfone LG L22C Power info:
Model Number: LGL22C
Android version: 5.0.1
Kernel version: 3.10.49
Build number: LRX21Y
Software version: L22CV10a
The SuperTool batch file script rooted the phone with KingRoot and then uninstalled KingRoot and installed SuperSu.
I have since installed ES File Manager, Titanium Backup, Link2sd on the phone. Root is totally working. Rooted with only a couple of clicks!
Just enable Developer options on LG L22C (by tapping phone Build Number 7 to 10 times [Settings, About Phone, Software info, Build Number (tap 7 to 10 times)]), enable USB debugging on L22C in the Developer options settings.
Connect L22C to Windows 10 with a USB data cable (I used the USB 2.0 port). When screen message on the L22C mentions MTP mode, tap that and change to PTP mode on the phone.
Install RootJunky's SuperTool to the Windows 10 desktop.
Run RootJunky's SuperTool (Amazon-Fire-5th-gen.bat) You may have to read the instructions on the pages below and install adb drivers. Pick option #6 Root. Choose Option #3: version 5.1.2.
Press enter and KingRoot will be installed on the phone from the SuperTool. (approve any messages that appear on phone screen) Now don't touch the PC SuperTool until the phone is rooted.
Open KingRoot on the phone and run it. You may have to run KingRoot several times and the phone may reboot. Just keep running KingRoot until the LG L22C is rooted. After KingRoot reaches 100%, then press ENTER on the PC.
The SuperTool will now uninstall KingRoot and install SuperSU on the phone.
Choose NORMAL SuperSU install on the phone when prompted. When SuperSU is installed, reboot the phone. Disconnect data cable.
After reboot the LG L22C Power is rooted. There will be a request by SuperSU to upgrade. Approve it. You can now install Titanium Backup, Link2sd, ES File Manager, etc. Your phone is rooted. As easy as that. THANKS ROOTJUNKY!!!

To Access Recovery, Power Off The Phone And Hold VOL DOWN And Power, Once You See The LG Logo Let Go And immediately hold both of the buttons again until you see a screen which says "Do you want to factory reset" You want to do yes and then it will say do you want to start and do yes again and this will take you straight to TWRP recovery (Note that this will not actually reset the phone)
DEBLOAT (ROOT)
You Can Debloat With In The Kingroot App Which I Would Not Recommend Because When You Remove System Apps In Kingroot It Takes Them To The Recycle Bin And When I Try To Empty Them From The Recycle Bin It Fails. But It Does Remove Them But They Are Still Taking Space On Your Phone, But You Can Restore Those Apps If You Want. Here Are The Instructions To Complety Remove System Apps From Your Phone
Enable USB Debugging In Developer Options
Download And Install Debloater.exe On Your PC: https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=...1203&parId=8576A478A6DBC737!502&action=locate
Connect Your Phone To PC And Open Debloater
Make Sure You Have Root Checked And ADB If It Is Not In Debloater
Now You Can Complety Uninstall Any System Apps Now
After flashing TWRP it asks to reboot into recovery, I hit yes, then it just sits on the LG LIFE IS GOOD POWERED BY ANDROID black startup screen.
Any ideas?
hi! is there any other option aside from using debloater on PC to remove apps? I don't have PC to use. thanks!
I have found a way to root the Samsung Galaxy J1 (SM-J100VPP, Verizon) without needing to flash modified, rooted firmware using ODIN. I do not know if this unlocks the bootloader. Maybe someone can reply with an answer.
1. Make sure ADB/USB debugging is turned on. Settings > about phone > tap on 'build number' seven times to enable developer options.
2. Tap back button once and tap developer options. Make sure the box next to 'USB Debugging' has a check mark.
3. Plug your phone into your PC and open up an ADB window.
4. Download and install the Hidden Menus APK attached to this post, located at the bottom of the thread. (If using ADB to install, place the APK in your ADB folder and open an ADB command window and type: adb install HiddenMenus.apk)
5. Open the Hidden Menus app and scroll until you see 'Rlz Debug UI' and tap on it.
6. Where it says 'OEM Mode', make sure 'on' is selected (tap the circle next to OEM Mode to turn it on).
7. Go to my Google Drive, download and install 'android_root.exe'. This will install an older version of KingoRoot onto your PC.
8. Open KingoRoot for PC and connect your phone to the PC.
9. At the very bottom, left corner of the KingoRoot for PC window, make sure to UNCHECK the box that says 'install recommended app'.
10. Click on root and let KingoRoot root your phone.
Replace KingoRoot with SuperSU
I don't like one-click-root apps. I don't trust them. So whenever possible, I try to find methods to install SuperSU. Below is a guide to replace KingoRoot with SuperSU. The method in this thread works and only consists of a few steps. First you'll need to go to the KingoRoot homepage and download the APK for Android and install it. Then follow the steps below:
1. Delete/Uninstall Kingouser, but keep Kingoroot. DON'T reboot your device
3. Install SuperSU apk from flashable zip v2.79 (APK provided by me, attached at the bottom of this thread).
4. Launch it, press "continue" and "normal" wait until the update is successful. (You might have to close the SuperSU app and reopen it to complete this step).
5. Reboot and uninstall Kingoroot.
Thanks everyone. I really love this little phone!
ok, so all that has happened here IS. you happened to have a samsung galaxy j1 sm-j100vpp verizon prepaid phone that happened to NEVER be updated to the unpatchable 5.1.1 and you rooted the existing firmware that we all have to downgrade to, to be able to root. And to answer your question about the boot loader.... NO, flashing or MODIFYING the firmware has nothing to do with the boot partition.
BUT. the super su replacement has caught my eye and is how i found this post. I will check the work and report back. this would be a huge step forward in creating a 32 bit custom twrp as the chipset in this phone only supports 32 bit and is why twrp (cwm similar etc....) does not work on this device. i have noticed another samsung device that has "alot" of the same chipsets but still supports 64 bit and has a promising twrp I may be able to compile as a 32 bit only recovery img. after that. its smooth sailing.
Hello.
This post describes how to reboot the Alcatel OneTouch Pop Icon A564C Yaris5NA into EDL mode. This can be achieved without root. It can happen on both Windows and Linux computers. It requires ADB to work.
1. Go into settings and "About phone" and tap the build number "01001" for about seven times.
2. Go into "Developer options" and enable "USB Debugging".
3. To install ADB drivers on Windows Vista, look for "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" on XDA and download extract and run the exe file. Do not forget to install Google drivers. On Linux, just install adb through terminal.
4. On Windows, go into "Device Manager" in Windows and look for "Android device" with a yellow triangle with an exclamation point. You may have two of these on your computer, so be sure to install drivers to both devices to avoid any error.
5. Right click on these devices and the menu appears hit "Update driver", than select browse my computer for drivers and eventually show all devices. Find the Google Inc. drivers and install one of three drivers; the "Android ADB interface" should work, but you may have to use the "Android Composite interface".
6. Go open CMD or Terminal and type adb devices. You will receive "Enable USB Debugging?" on your A564C phone so be sure to check the box and press Enable.
7. Now check adb connection by typing "adb devices", and the device should appear in the terminal; there should be letters and numbers on the left and authorized on the right.
8. Now type "adb reboot edl" to send the device into Emergency DownLoad mode. When you look on Windows a box appearing with QualComm HS-Loader 9000 (COM4) drivers will have installed. Look into Device Manager under ports (the serial cable icon)
Well, if you have this phone A564C and would like to develop on it, this guide may have motivated you to do make custom software. I think the only way to flash firmware is through QFIL program on Windows. Now we are looking for a FireHose programmer for the device in an attempt to unlock the bootloader the way the new ZTE method is described. My goal is to find the right FireHose programmer and to examine the partition manager and edit the bootloader to unlock it, or perhaps a way to somehow put the su binary in the /system/bin folder, or put a custom recovery on the device. That is my goal.
Here is my background on my device:
I have owned the Alcatel OneTouch Pop Icon A564C for over a year. I have read the posts describing many users who do not have enough space on their internal storage and that is why they need root. I have also read KingRoot can root but for me it is the opposite. I had tried rooting many times with the KingRoot. When the metre reaches a certain point, usually 18% or 70%, the phone crashes and reboots automatically or freezes and requires holding the power button to reboot. The phone is seemingly unable to root. Last week I acheived a true temp root that was lost upon reboot; the way I did it I installed KingRoot apks I downloaded from AndroidFileHost in order from oldest to newest, ran them once for reboot, then proceeded to uninstall each one and reinstall the newer KingRoot. I had noticed a phenomenon when using a newer KingRoot than going to KingRoot 4.1 I received root failed and it went back to 70% and I achieved temp root that way. I than restarted the phone in order to restart the method after a data wipe.
I then thought if there were other ways to root a phone other than using one-click rooting methods such as KingRoot. The phone was manufactured about six years ago, so it is old enough that exploits could potentially root it. I had tried Framaroot and Towelroot; both did not work. I installed a DirtyCow checker apk and it said the phone was patched, so I assume an exploit based on DirtyCow would not work. There may be one more method to finally allow root; it is called QuickRoot a Proof-of-Concept root for Android devices. It may work on older devices, but I do not know how to compile for Android 4.4.2.
