[HOW TO]root, flash custom recovery ClockworkMod v5.5.0.4 and ROM Customized 1.8Ghz ROM (now with experiment EUR OC ROM) without odin step by step from offical ROM 2.3.6
1. Root your phone
Rooting via Recovery mode(SD card)
a. Download this Zip-file http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47601401/update.zip copy this into the internal SD card.
b. While switched off, keep the following buttons pressed. Release the power-button once the Samsung Galaxy W(I8150) is switched on. At last press the menu button quickly while pressing the other two buttons.
Note: This instructions is written for the stock recovery. Custom recoverys should work very similiar.

}
c. Navigate with the volume up and down to apply sdcard:update.zip in Recovery Menu. Use the home-button to confirm your selection.
d. Choose (with volume buttons) the update.zip file on your internal sd card and confirm again with Home-button. You will have to wait for several seconds.
e. Now choose reboot system now and confirm with home button.
Now you device should be rooted.

2. Enable recovery ClockworkMod v5.5.0.4 with flashing in adb shell.
Don't flash the zip file, but extract and flash the img file
a. Root your devece(look above)
b. Copy downloaded recovery ClockworkMod v5.5.0.4http://www.multiupload.com/KTNBHX6JBG on internal sdcard
c. Disconect phone from copmuter and make sure that USB debugging is on
d. Connect it again but don't connect phone memory (computer shouldn't see sdcard and internal memory in Windows explorer)
e. Download the adb shellhttps://rapidshare.com/files/1061144422/android-sdk-windows.zip
note:If you just want to obtain and perform adb command, rather than to develop Android software, in fact, there are many adb streamline packets in internet, don't need the full Android SDK.
As the android-sdk version started from r08, adb wasn't contained in the downloaded files from the beginning, but was downloaeded by SDK Manager after that, and adb wasn't under the original tools directory. To maintain the text of the description of teaching would continue to apply the screen, I made ​​out of adb streamlined package from the r07 version.
f. Extract the file android-sdk-windows.zip into the root directory of C for teaching easily
g. open command prompt
windows 7: start-all programs-accessories-command prompt or search cmd
h. Then in the "Command Prompt" window, type the following command to switch to the adb directory
c:
cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools
i. Enter the "adb shell", enter the phone to start the next command (think of it as the phone has a similar "command prompt" environment)
go on with this code:
Code:
adb shell
$su
#dd if=/sdcard/RZR-2.1.4-ancora-rec.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
but change the file name RZR-2.1.4-ancora-rec.img to recovery.img from recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-ancora.zip
j. Now turn off phone and turnd it on like this: hold Volume Up + Home + Power button, when Samsung sign appears relese power button but still hold other two, until recovery is loaded.
3. Download which ROM you like
4. Put the zip into Internal SD
5. Boot into ClockWorkMod, backup your current ROM using nandroid (just in case) then, use Install menu to Wipe data/cache and to install it from the SD card.
By the way, when you enter into the ClockWorkMod recovery, press the volume up-down-up for 3 times, you will see the option "go back" in the recovery menu.

By this method, is our bootloader is still locked?

Man, with all due respects, your post, and instructions are a mess, and particularly where you show adb commands to flash RzRecovery, then tell ppl here to do this:

Code:
adb shell

don't you know you have to be careful with "dd".....as it is called sometimes Data Destroyer:
http://www.softpanorama.org/Tools/dd.shtml
Just be careful ppl !!!

i just bought the new phone in germany, and updated to 2.3.6 by kies, then i decided to flash the custom rom, from root to recovery and to rom, so i checked all the trreads here, so i did it like i just said above, and it has worked for 3 days perfectly, so i wanna share my way to do that. because my phone is a new one, so i didnt' need to backup anything...
by the way, have u checked the thread [RECOVERY]Samsung Galaxy W i8150 RZRecovery by qzem??? it's here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1376196 i just followed that way...

OK, Felix, it's not really a problem.......
but writing or copy/paste stuff in a Admin Command Prompt is hard enough, without having to modify the text you are quoting.
How hard could it be to post this:
adb shell
$su
#dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is what ppl will have to write into the dd command
if = input file.....of = output file
Use dd cautiously, improperly entering the wrong values could inadvertently wipe, destroy, or overwrite the data on the hard disk drive or device memory

BTW, me and qzem were probably two of the first on these forums, before we had dedicated forum......

The point is - why include the first (i.e. incorrect) version of the command at all? It would be much clearer just to include the correct version, after the change you mention. Including the incorrect version just makes the instructions more confusing.

Don't mistake directness for hostility.
We didn't want you to remove your guide completely - we're just trying to help improve the quality of it, for everyone's sake. Collaboration is what this forum is all about.

[HOWTO] Create a GoldCard - Bypassing the RUU/SPL CID check to Root/Downgrade

If you are stuck on a ROM you don't like (t-mobile/asian carrier etc.) you can use this howto to create a goldcard to bypass the CID checks so you can downgrade and root your Hero.
01. Download QMAT 5.06 here
It’s a demo version so will only run for 10 minutes.
02. Format your SD card to FAT32. Please keep in mind some brands of SD cards do not work.
03. Use adb to run this command: adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
04. Copy the SD card cid code displayed after the adb command.
05. Start Qmat and Click on Cyptoanalysis Tools > Crypto Toolbox.
06. Look at the bottom, there is a text box (beside the “Reverse String” button) enter the SD card cid code you got earlier.
Click on the “Reverse String” button, the result is reversed…
Example: 532600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402
07. Copy the reversed SD card cid code.
08. Go to QMAT goldcard site here to generate your goldcard (yes it says for G1 but works for our Hero too).
09. Enter your email. For the correct SD card cid code, you need to replace the first 2 characters to 00.
Example: From “532600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402” to “002600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402”
10. Click Continue and you will receive the goldcard.img in .zip format in your email.
11. Go to your email, download the zip file and save it to a directory and unzip it to goldcard.img
12. Download HxD Hex Editor from here
13. Install and launch HxD Hex Editor program. (make sure you use "Run as Administrator" under Vista and win 7)
14. Go to Extra tab > Open Disk. Under Physical disk, select Removable Disk (Must be your SD card), uncheck “Open as Readonly), click OK.
15. Go to Extra again, Open Disk Image, open up goldcard.img which you’ve saved/unzipped earlier.
Now, you should have two tabs, one is your removable disk, the other is goldcard.img. Press OK when prompted for “Sector Size” 512 (Hard disks/Floppy disks), click OK.
16. Click on goldcard.img tab. Go to Edit tab > Select All, edit tab again > copy.
17. Click on the “removable disk” tab. Select offset 00000000 till offset 00000170 (including the 00000170 line), click on Edit tab and then Paste Write.
18. Click on File > Save. now you can exit the program.
19. Reboot your phone with this SD Card (now GoldCard) inside
20. Use the Official HTC RUU to downgrade to 2.73.405.5 (which you can get here) from which you can fastboot boot and/or root your phone with flashrec.
Done.
Credits:
Original heads up by tangzq with link to this
That site used the XDA Sapphire goldcard howto here
And apparently myself and XDA as this builds on the HTC knowledge from the old days (here)
In any case, enjoy your new found freedom
Holy ****znit it works! Downgrading!!!!!
Hmm. I've followed the guide and successfully skipped the CID lock check of the device and flashed it to version 2.73.405.5 WWE. Problem is, I can't seem to get the device to boot into recovery mode after using flashrec (I did download and flash it just fine). the recovery mode (home + power) booted the device but it hangs at the boot screen where it says HERO. Any idea?
Edit: Ah. a little bit of the update. while the buttons do not work, i can use adb shell reboot recovery; however, after using flashrec, it still shows the old recovery screen ?
Edit2: confirmed, recovery flasher doesn't work now im using the SEA rom
I'll try the RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_1.76.405.6_WWE_release_signed_NoD river.exe rom later
I had the same issue with Recovery Flasher I couldn't to boot into recovery. I was also unable to downgrade to the 1.7 roms due to a bootloader version error, arghhh. Anywho, managed to work my way round it, i'll explain below. I've got a T-Mobile G2 updated to the latest rom (so no root access).
I first followed the instructions on making a goldcard and then flashed the 2.73.405.5 WWE rom fine.
Now make sure you have the cm-hero-recovery.img (http://content.modaco.net/dropzone/modacopatchedrecovery-1.0.zip) on the root of your sdcard. Aswell as Instant Root (http://neilandtheresa.co.uk/Android/) now install Instant Root on the phone. It should pop up with a notification "instant root was sucessfully" or along those lines. (If you have a problem installing Instant Root make sure Settings>Applications>Unknown Sources is checked)
Instant root then allows for root access with adb shell using the following 2 commands:
1) adb shell
then
2) su
the icon should change from a $ to #.
Now flash the recovery image with the following command:
1) flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-hero-recovery.img
This shouldn't take that long once completed it will go back the # prompt example below.
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-hero-recovery.img (I typed this)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-hero-recovery.img (this pops up)
# (this shows the flash completed)
Now pull out your usb cable and battery, turn on the phone with the battery in place while holding the home button and it should boot into the custom recovery .
Well, I hope this helps someone and I didn't just waste my time . Oh, thanks for posting the goldcard instructions.
it worked!!!
Thanks so much! I did the exact process before (see other thread) but I must have missed something. Following this process exactly is what did it. I am guessing something about the reboot and the RUU is where i went wrong before.
I can confirm this works on the 2.73.707.9 ROM
Yaaahaaaayyhaahhahahaahaayyyyyyyyyyyy!!! I feel so happy for all you guys who had this problem (although I myself did not!!)
I kind of half gave up at 6:00 am yesrterday and i just woke up (1
:27pm) and followed the instructions here and BAM! got a working nandroid backup and a custom rom \o/!!! thanks to all of you!
so it's tested and proven for 2.73.707.9?great!
umm ... guys.. if u dont mind me asking...... why do we need it?
do we have hero versions which cant be rooted with any methods?

Did it last night and got it working, used the AMON Hero recovery image instead and partitioned my sd card without going through the manual adb solution.
Cheers
could this be adapted for the sprint hero?
Sprint Hero support request strongly seconded, i am desperate to get my CDMA Hero rooted.
have you guys tried using thesame method and got anywhere? I mean, from what I know is that you can't even boot in to recovery mode right? have you guys tries the adb method to boot into rec mode at least?
Aces!!!!
Worked on Indian 2.73.720 like a charm.
Thanks.

[GUIDE] How to Unroot Back to Completely Stock with No Root/Superuser!

For those of you who need to unroot your Epic 4G Touch back to "completely" stock with no root whatsoever, here's a step-by-step guide.
*note - if you are not on a rooted stock ROM, you will need to restore your phone to a rooted stock ROM first, you can get a copy of rooted stock ROM here if you forgot to make a backup.
Step by step tutorial for beginners:
Step 1. First, put your Epic 4G Touch into download mode by holding down both Power button and Volume Up button together. Then connect a USB cable from your phone to your computer.
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step 2. Open up ODIN. You should have this program already when you rooted your phone but if you don't download ODIN here:
Download ODIN v.1.85
Step 3. You should see a yellow COM: show up in ODIN, the number doesn't matter so long as it shows up like in above screenshot. If it's not showing, you need to install Samsung Kies. (Download Kies here)
Step 4. Download acs-eg30-stock-kernel-pulled.tar at ACS site under Downloads.
Choose "PDA" then choose this file you downloaded, acs-eg30-stock-kernel-pulled.tar.
Step 5. Hit Start and your phone should reboot with stock boot logo.
For Linux and Mac users, you can use Heimdall instead of ODIN, use the same tool but flash this stock recovery acs-eg30-stock-kernel-pulled.tar instead of rooted kernel.
Step 6. Now, you should have a fully stock rooted Epic 4G Touch. At this point, you should still have your apps/personal data. If you just want stock rooted Epic 4G Touch, you can stop here. Otherwise go to Step 7.
Step 7. If you want to completely unroot your Epic 4G Touch, you will need to erase root and Superuser app files. To do this, you can use ADB or Terminal Emulator app. If you are using Terminal Emulator app, skip to Step 10.
Download ADB.zip here if you don't have it already (works for Windows, Linux, and Mac):
Download ADB.zip
Unzip(uncompress) ADB.zip into your hard drive, I prefer C:\adb (for Windows).
Step 8. Browse to the directory of your ADB files by typing:
For Windows:
Code:
cd \adb
For Mac & Linux:
Code:
cd /adb
Step 9. Get into ADB shell, type:
For Windows:
Code:
adb shell
For Mac:
Code:
./adb-mac shell
For Linux:
Code:
./adb-linux shell
Step 10. Type the following commands to erase rooting and Superuser files:
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/xbin/su
rm/system/bin/su
rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
reboot
Step 11. Your Epic 4G Touch will reboot and you can double-check now that Superuser app is gone plus rooted apps are not working any more.
Step 12. Lastly, if you want to erase all your personal data and apps for returning to Sprint warranty, you can get into stock recovery by holding down both Volume up and Power button together for about 10 seconds.
Step 13. Choose wipe data/factory reset using Volume keys then hit Power button.
Step 14. Choose "Yes -- delete all user data" using Volume buttons and hit the Home button.
Step 15. Reboot your Epic 4G Touch and you should have the same exact phone you got the day you bought it.
Step 16. And also, make sure to connect your Epic 4G Touch as a disk drive and erase your personal files.

When I go to stock recovery (step 12) to wipe data, I can use the volume to move up and down, but it won't actually let me select anything with my power button.

This guide doesn't really show you how to go completely back to stock, it's really a restore stock kernel + remove super user and wipe data if necessary guide...

crap crap crap, I think the only way is if I have a nandroid backup before I installed a rom, but I don't think I have one anymore arhgajrhgajrh
is it possible to get someone else's nandroid and restore, also why won't stock recovery function for me? (see above)
nm stock recovery uses home button instead of power button

THANK YOU!
I Appreciate that BRah
I only wish the download was faster! hah, I have like an hour to get this done today and the download is taking 25 minutes
I was thinking the same thing
I was never able to get the stock kernel to boot after flashing that backup. It would just sit on the splash screen, but not the shipped splash screen.
I can't get the stock rom zip zedo linked to to install. it says installing update, then installation aborted.. guess I'm stuck with this phone
Joe you have to unzip it, copy the Boot , cache and other files then place them in in the Clockwork/backup folder . Originally I did not have a folder , so i went in to there and made a backup and replaced teh contents with those from this one

Did you use the restore function? Not zip from sdcard!!!
You need to unzip the zip file then copy the folder into clockwork/backup folder in your internal storage then do this:
ZedoMax I would like to thank you for your contribution to the community. Your doing an excellent job , by the way. I Hope that other stuff blows over. Coming from the Evo community, this is a small venue. the Devs work well together
okay i put the folder in clockwork/backup (therefore clockwork/backup/zedomaxbackup) and now it says couldn't open directory, no files found. Tried also just putting the contents of the zip into the backup folder and same message. Now I'm creating a backup and seeing if that helps "set the stage" for me to insert this backup. Hope it works, got like 5 minutes to get to the store
That is what I did as well..... I used a stock kernel , but it put me in a loop

Edit: Yeah, well, reading it over with the questions from scsa20 especially, who I know is very experienced, leads me to see that perhaps this guide needs a bit more work. But I really like that you wanted to share what you have learned and I agree that there are some big holes in all of the available guides. Maybe you could address the issues and incorporate scsa20's recommendations...then you'd have a really useful guide and help a lot of people.
Thanks for this, but you have to fix some links, as the are now they don't work

Will these steps flash back stock kernel ? I using tiamat custom kernel such as Odachi. relock bootloader with a custom kernel will make xoom bricked so these step would flash back stock kernel ???
How about turning off caps lock? Oh, and learning how to spell "break"
I'm going to nitpick this as a person who've done this a few times over (but honestly, not too bad of a guide).
TIAMAT 2.2.2 ROM
Click to expand...

Although the Tiamat ROM is awesome, this guide is supposed to be for rooting only from what I can see and so pointing out to download 2.2.2 (not knowing if the user is really on the LTE version which 2.2.2 won't do they'll need 2.3.0). Sticking to just rooting is best and talk about the varies of ROMs as an extra if that's something they wish to proceed with.

This steps is all so wrong, plus the link's broken (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242241 is the real link btw).
Simply flashing the recovery from the Universal Xoom Root won't get you rooted, the proper steps is as follows:
1) Boot into the bootloader (adb reboot bootloader)
2) Flash the recovery to the recovery partition (fastboot flash recovery recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img)
3) Once recovery is flashed, reboot (fastboot reboot)
4) When you get the M logo for the reboot, start pressing the volume down key until you get the option that says Recovery and press the volume up key
5) Flash the zip file containing the root files (choose "Install ZIP from SDCARD" then "Choose ZIP from SDCARD", from there, find the zip file that has the root files that you downloaded from the link posted just above)
I'm not going to touch the restoring to stock, I think I made my point that you should clean up your posts and maybe even checked it (or had someone checked it) before posting it?
(yes, I know I was hard on you but someone gotta do it)
So, yeah, looking over this, it's not really that great of a guide at all because you don't really have anything explained and just have more questions....
And to answer luyenbichta's question, the system.img image will take you out of custom kernel and rom and put you back to stock, once you flash all the images needed you can then issue the fastboot oem lock. Issuing that commend before you have the original images back on will caused you to get an error about the images not being signed, no harm, no foul.
All of this.... AND you can flash HLK75D and save yourself about three hours of manual slow updates!!
Which is available on Motodev, you shouldnt need the link to that by now. Also... no one post after me cause this thread should go buhbye.

I no I have ****ty grammer and spelling but I did type up quick and step by step ifor noobs as this is very new to me. I have experiance with galaxy s and s2 but not in bootloaders and flashing with command prompt. Thanks anyway and I am gunna edit it shortly. But as I say I am happy to explain more to people

Tto be hoist all the people that have complain I don't no if its my english which yeah im english but I thinks its pritty straight forward that it how to unlock your bootloader, root your device and return to stock its pritty simple. I didn't add how to flash a custom rom as all the guides I found and used I flashed mine from internal memory not on and sd card. But like I say thanks for the possative comments quys

Out of curiosity, when you go from root back to stock, does the bootloader automatically lock back, or is that done seperately?

Updated 11-17-12: Now that we have a stable CWMR image thanks to damien667 this procedure should be a lot less risky and less stressful!
This is confirmed working but due to the procedure involved is risky! The standard XDA disclaimer applies: I take no responsibility for bricked devices due to the following rooting procedure, no warranty express or implied is given, I will not be held responsible if you mess up your tablet by following this procedure!​
You must unlock the bootloader before performing this procedure!
Credits: Kidgoo for testing and coming up with the method, thanks to damien667 for the fixed CWM images, and Chainfire for the SuperSu zip and binaries!
Before you begin make sure you read and reread the procedure and fully understand the directions.
1. Download the CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip
2. Download damien667's fixed CWMR 6.0.1.6 touch version of from here
3. Connect the Nexus 10 to your computer
4. Flash the CWMR image you downloaded in step 2 using fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/<recovery>.img
fastboot reboot
5. Touch "Install from SD Card" in CWMR
6. Select CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip that was downloaded in step 1
7. Let CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip install
8. Select "Reboot System"
9. Enjoy your rooted Nexus 10 !
To keep your custom recovery installed permanently and not get overwritten by the stock recovery when your reboot your tablet delete the following:
Code:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
Reserved
works! thank you very much!
Awesome!
Now, if only we could code it so it does it all for us!
1-click and go! Im afraid ill fat finger something and have a $550 paper weight :'(
Thanks for the write up!

You will need to download the latest vesion of ADB included in the Android SDK, which can be found here.

Yep, my ADB was out of date... Thanks!
Got the latest version of ADB?
With regard to downloading the CWM-SuperSU file (for sideloading) do you mean that it should be downloaded on the tab itself, or downloaded into the same folder as adb and fastboot?

If you download it on your tablet you'll need to then place the downloaded zip on the root of the internal storage (I.E not in a folder). Alternatively you can download it using a computer and connect your tablet to the computer and transfer it to the root of the internal storage that way.
I know this is probably a noob question but the fastboot commands (the first two, for booting from CWRT) -- should they be done in Fastboot Mode or can they be done while Nexus 10 is on and at home screen with USB debugging enabled? If you need to be in Fastboot Mode, how do you get there with Nexus 10?
Thanks!

Ok, the problem I have now is while I have the files on my tablet, I cannot move them to the root of the internal storage at this point...??? Suggestions??? Don't you have to be rooted in order to do this???
For some reason when I'm not in fastboot mode, I can use adb (adb devices lists my Nexus 10), but when I'm in fastboot mode, adb no longer recognizes the device. fastboot devices does however see it when in fastboot mode.
Anybody else have this problem or know why this might be happening? Thanks!
I'm still getting the sideload error after updating the ADB
Any insight, please?
So to others who are working on this and awaiting responses from the OP, where exactly have you placed the downloaded files on your tablet? specific locations?? and if so how did you get them there? I'm totally lost at this point, LOL, hoping to get some clarification soon...
Worked ... however .. you DO have to be in FASTBOOT already (power + Vol UP + Vol DOWN) - yeah it might be obvious when you're not tired as hell - but for those wondering
The first line should be:
fastboot boot /path/to/<recovery>.img
no fastboot reboot was needed - it rebooted itself.
I had a HELL of a time finding the sideload entry in CWM (that's just my brain deadness).
You have quite a bit of time More than enough.
THANK YOU!

[GUIDE][BR][LP]Complete guide for unlock bootloader and flash TWRP in H442F DUAL SIM

Hello folks!
It's been a while since last time I spent in this forum section (when the method for flashing Poland MM KDZ was published), but suddenly I decided to check the current development and it was great do discover that developers found a way to unlock bootloader! Then, I tried to do the procedures, found some adversities around the path, flashed stock KDZ for my device A LOT and finally managed to obtain a fully working LP stock with root and TWRP for my model: H442F (Dual SIM) ("LG Volt 4G" in Brazil).
The thing is: although a lot was done regarding the Spirit LTE, I found near zero information specifically for my device variant. Since I tried a lot of paths and eventually achieved an interesting result, I decided to write a full tutorial, with a lot of instructions and pictures for "novices" who desire learn all the steps but gives up at the high learning curve. Finally, I also wrote this tutorial in Brazilian Portuguese, which I believe will help at least some comrades (you can download the PDF in portuguese HERE).
Needed files:
LG Drivers (remove old ones if already instaled)
LG Flash Tool 2014 (credits to @quangnhut123 from this thread)
Brazilian H442F10a Firmware (this is a low speed server, I can upload to a better one if someone asks)
Android SDK Tools (for Windows users; Linux ones just install the package android-tools-adb)
Kingroot (or download here: www.kingroot.net)
Latin America Patched Aboot (credits to @pvineeth97 , for more info check this thread)
TWRP (or download here: https://twrp.me/lg/lgspiritlte.html)
Flashfy (or download here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify&hl=en)
SuperSU (or download here: http://www.supersu.com/)
Finally, if you prefer, you can download a full pack in this link (except for KDZ), however, I did prefer to keep isolated links for better credits and referrals
Step-by-step
Download all needed files
Install drivers, SDK and unpack Flash Tool
Save all files in the same folder, but keep KDZ file inside Flash Tool folder
Put your phone in download mode (power off, hold vol+, plug usb in pc, keep holding until download icon appears)
Wait a little for Windows completely detects device and load all drivers
Verify in Device Manager if your pc detects phone as "LG Mobile USB Serial Port (COM#)"

Open LG Flash Tool as admin
Select KDZ file
Choose the downloaded H442F10a_03.kdz file
Choose CSE Flash
Click START
Then, "Clear phone software update registry"
You'll see a warning
Then, OK (no need to change country)
Another app will open for the flashing. If you are offline, it is possible to show just a "?" character. Wait patiently...
In about 5min it will finish
After some reboots, you'll see the phone starter screen. Just move forward (no need to configure anything right now, maybe wifi, but not google account)
Enable Developer Options going to Settings/General/Common/Software Information and tap some simes in Build Number until the "You are a developer" message appears
Go back to Settings/Developer Options and turn on USB Debugging
With Debugging on, choose MTP (for Windows) or PTP (Linux), and when asked, allow the computer
Now, make sure you installed (and know how to use, since I will cover just a few commands here) the Android Debugging Bridge (adb). It will be essential for some steps, as well for entering Recovery Mode (I will show some Linux screenshots because I do not use Windows - for this tutorial, just for KDZ flash - but with a working adb the commands are the same)
Open a command prompt (Windows: right click in start menu) or a terminal (Linux) and run "adb devices" to see if the device was detected. If not, run again and check if phone are asking permissions (and grant it)
Go (cd) to the folder with all downloaded files and write the commands (some names may be different if you downloaded individual files from official links)
adb push aboot_5120_patched.bin /sdcard/
adb push twrp-3.2.1.0-cn70n.img /sdcard/
adb push SuperSU-v2.82-201705271722.zip /sdcard/
adb install Flashify_1.9.2.apk
adb install KingrootV5.3.1.apk
At whit point, make sure your internet is fully working (3-4G or WIfi), then, open Kingroot and root the device
After a well successful root, go back to adb and run "adb shell" and then "su". The phone will ask root permission. Grant it and in adb again run "cd /sdcard"
Now we arrived a critical step. Make sure to type the command as is show, because an error may result brick. We will copy the modified aboot into the respective phone partition (check code, check picture, and double check!)
If everything occurs all right, will appear this message
Great! Now you have an unlocked bootloader! What we have to do now is fhash a custom recovery (in this case, TWRP).
Open Flashify, give root rights, then go into Flash/Recovery Image/Choose a file/File explorer/sdcard/[downloaded file]. When asked to flash click "YUP!" and then "Flash More" (as we do not want the phone to reboot right now)
An extra step I prefer to do is remove Kingroot, since it installs a lot of services and keep device substantially slow. If you prefer Kingroot over SuperSU, you are DONE!
Case you prefer SuperSU... Open Kingroot/.../Settings/Uninstall Kingroot
It will prompt if you are sure. Just click Continue/OK
Go back to prompt/terminal and run "adb reboot recovery"
Phone will enter TWRP!
Now, just a few steps!
Go to Install and flash SuperSU
Go to Wipe and do a Factory Reset
Go to Settings and disable TWRP app installer (optional)
And finally go to Reboot and choose System
DONE!!!
Now you have a phone with an unlocked bootloader, a recovery capable of doing a lot of stuff (sideload, wipe cache, backups), and rooted as well.
A really good job, I'm sure a lot of your fellow countryman will find this very useful!

Thanks for the instructions. After unlocking its bootloader, wil it be compatible with any H440 custom rom (single sim operation, of course)? Or the only custom rom we get is Cm12?

Hi!
Well, unfortunately I don't know. I made the procedure, wrote the tutorial, and 2 months later changed my phone for a new one. Can't test anymore.

Yes, it should be compatible with any custom rom as long as your phone is Lg spirit LTE( snapdragon variant ).
