Hello guys.
Can someone guide me to root my V10?
Rooting this phone is pretty messed up with all the guides here. I've rooted all my androids, but this particular phone is confusing me.
My goal is > stock rooted 7.0
What I understand, I can't root 7.0, but I need to root MM 6.0 and then OTA update to 7.0 with TWRP. Is that correct?
Every guide I found had different TWRP ver and SuperSU.
Can someone point to me a simple guide to follow with tools in.
Not just "download and flash guide"
So far I've unlocked my Bootloader.
Thank you.
Never mind, figured the hard way.
And decided to stay with MM, Nougat is more like stripped version of MM.

Hello I have an xperia tablet z SGP321 which is currently on android 4.4.2. But it's very buggy atm, and I would like to install a rom on it like omni rom or cm11. But in order to do this I have to root the device, and I would like to know how to root this? Am I able to root it currently or is it not possible atm due to the new software (4.4.2)? I have also tried unlocking the bootloader using the instructions on sony's website and other instructions by other people but they all failed. I know for a fact I did them all correctly and it just didint work. Is this because its not currently possible on android 4.4.2 on this device? Thank you in advance.

If you insist on installing something like cm11 you will have to unlock your bootloader before anything else. It is not clear what you mean when you say they all failed or it just didn't work. Did you follow sony's official guide? And by the way, it's better to make a back up of your ta partition before unlocking in case you want to ever revert it.
Have a look here. That worked for me to root my 4.4.2 device:

You have to do a downgrade to 4.1 before. But thats all in the root instruction.
Thank you for your help, but I found out how to unlock bootloader and install cm 10.2.1 on my tablet already. I followed instructions from a youtube video. It was quite different from the instructions on sonys unlock bootloader guide. I didn't have to downgrade either it worked with 4.4.2 .
Hi,
I am on stocked FOF6, unrooted. I've searched and could not find consistent answers.
Some suggest that this can be done without tripping KNOX in one step: From 5.1.1 to 4.4 so you can root
Another suggestion is a 2 step process: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65236821&postcount=61
And another saying you can't http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65190239&postcount=54. This also appears in the compilation thread Compilation of S5 (G900T) Stock Firmware/Root Methods/Bootloader/Modem/Recovery:
*Note: Don't use official 5.1.1 if you want to be able to downgrade firmware. Follow these instructions.*

Has anyone successfully downgraded (without a rooted 5.1.1)?
Thanks

Well, if you are officially on the unrooted, stock 5.1.1, and haven't installed the custom recovery, you can just take the OTAs. That would be the easiest route.
If you have bumped with TWRP or have a custom stock 5.1.1 ROM, or are rooted, then look for any of the threads that discuss how to revert back to 10B and once that has occurred, you can take the OTAs to upgrade to the latest MM version.
Actually, just a thread or two below this one is the guide you're looking for:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/lg-g3-downgrade-to-10b-t3354834
Not to sound mean or nasty, but I won't repeat what is in that thread because it's repeating things that are already outlined and just pollutes the forum.
Hope this helps!
Flash the 47A KDZ with LG Flash Tool 2014 if you're not using Verizon and therefore can't take OTAs.

You could flash this latest image if you want then:

You'll have to root and then bump with TWRP to flash it if you're not already rooted and bumped.
Hi guys
I just got LG G3 from Sprint and I did somehow manage it to root it using kingo. I also got notification that update is downloaded (OTA), should I install it or not? Root and Hotspot are important to me but feel free go give me any suggestions - I would appreciate them. If you decide to do that I might need some help because I was away from android for a while....
Thank you in advance!
Forgot to mention, running 4.4.2 Stock Rom, rooted
The OTA you got is probably to take you Lollipop...I recently unrooted and went from 4.4.2 KitKat to 5.0.1 Lollipop. I read numerous times not to take the OTA updates when rooted on KitKat. I used an unrooting method that used the LG Flash Tool - something like this - http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants.html - though there's a similar guide here at xda, too. You'll need to download some files, including the flash tool. It seems daunting at first, but follow the instructions closely and you'll get through it.
Thank you on your response, I was very disappointed that many people viewed thread but ignored. My primary concern is - will OTA make device not rootable or rooting should still be easy process?
First, I had a rooted G3. Never updated it. Now, I have an H830 (T-Moble) variant. I've been rooted since I bought the phone and have never updated because I don't know how to do it without losing root. I'm still on software version H83010d (Android 6.0.1).
From what I've gathered, I just download the .zip in here and install via TWRP and then flash superSU afterwards?
I'm not completely sure what the talk of modifying boot.img or removing recovery-from-boot.p...
My reason for updating is because I want to try the Fulmics ROM or any optimized ROM for that matter. I had one on my G3 and it ran so much better.
But then as a follow up question, is the update process the same from a ROM? Do you just flash an update over the Rom and then re-flash the ROM?
Any links or answers are appreciated so I can finally figure out how to update while retaining root on my devices. :laugh:
