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:

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

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.

Hello everyone!
Here's another release thread for y'all!
What is this?
This is a flashable TWRP recovery for the Optimus G Pro.
Special thanks to @djrbliss
You can safely flash this to your phone's recovery and enjoy modding bliss!​
How do I use this, and where do I get it?
Good question!
There are two ways to use the files provided here.
To Flash to Recovery:
I've created an easy installer for all you Windows folks!
Download this: http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lgoptimusg_pro/gkatt/recovery/e98010g/easy-twrp-e98010g.zip
Extract it to somewhere on your computer.
Enable USB debugging on your phone, if you need the drivers I've included them in the "files/drivers" folder in the zip
Run the 'install.bat' script.
Check for any errors, if it was successful, you can 'adb reboot recovery' or use an app on your phone to get you into TWRP now!
Profit! (and realize that this was pretty easy!)
(thanks to hkfriends for pointing out the errors in my script!)
OR..
Download this file to somewhere on your computer https://github.com/djrbliss/loki/raw/master/bin/loki_flash
Download this file http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lgoptimusg_pro/gkatt/recovery/e98010g/gkatt-twrp-e98010g.lok
Run the following:
Code:
adb push loki_flash /data/local/tmp
adb push gkatt-twrp-e98010g.lok /data/local/tmp
abd shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 755 loki_flash
./loki_flash recovery gkatt-twrp-e98010g.lok
To boot
Download this file: http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lgoptimusg_pro/gkatt/recovery/e98010g/gkatt-twrp-e98010g.img
Use fastboot boot to boot it
DO NOT FLASH THE .IMG FILE TO YOUR PHONE. It is only meant for fastboot booting.​
Where can I find the source you used to build this?
All on my github!
http://github.com/thecubed/
Or, follow my guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43514195​
What can I do with this?
Right now, the possibilities are unlimited. Once a security-lax boot.img is released, we can flash that through recovery and let the modding commence.
Please remember though, modding /system with the stock boot.img will result in a security error!​
What works, and what doesnt?
I have not tested external SD cards, since I don't have one with me at work.
I have also not tested backups or restores in TWRP yet.​
Can you show me a video?
Why yes I can!
As usual, please pardon the crappy camera work.​
I <3 you so much, how do I show my love?
You are so kind
I most definitely do not expect donations of any kind, however they are appreciated a lot.
I purchased this phone off-contract just to get it unlocked, if you are a kind soul and would like to send me a token of your appreciation I would love you forever.
XDA has a neat "Donate to me" button that should be on the left side of this page under my name. Donations go to purchasing new hardware to work on and other neat stuff, so they're always appreciated.​
Special Thanks!
In no particular order, special thanks to all of you guys!

1) Check your Windows Device Manager to make sure the drivers are installed.
2) Make sure to plug the USB cable directly into your system's motherboard ports--do not use the ports on the front of your desktop system, do not use the ports on a monitor or keyboard, etc.
3) Make sure your device is rooted before this: Towelroot: make it rain.
4) Install ADBD Insecure and check both options. That will enable root and remount abilities for ADB.
I would even suggest to not use this particular method, and instead use:
2) Download G Pro Recovery and Freegee.
3) Open G Pro Recovery and select the 'Flash Recovery' option at the top of the menu.
4) Then open Freegee and choose your recovery--either will get your CM11S humming just fine.
Probably not a bad idea to take advantage of the EFS backup there and transfer that backup off the phone for emergency purposes, as well as immediately making a backup once you get your recovery installed, as it can save headaches and attacks of wanderingpancreas if something goes wrong.

[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 ).

[Bootloader Unlock] [TWRP] [A7010a48] [Noob]

Overview​
Many people asked me on telegram how they can unlock their bootloader and flash TWRP, as obvious I helped them but then again few people asked me... I was wondering telling entire steps again and again will waste a lot of time so I decided why not on xda-developers?
So here it is presenting a "Noob way to unlock boot-loader, flash recovery" :laugh:
Disclaimer​
]Of course there is a risk of doing anything so I won't take any responsibly of fixing it !! Please do some research if you are not aware of anything. Warranty will be voilà so you won't be able to claim any service repairs for free. Please proceed at your own risk :angel: However, if you follow everything carefully you won't be able to stick into anything.
Click to expand...

Downloads​1. ADB Driver 1
2. ADB Driver 2
3. Windows 10 Updater
4. ADB Toolkit
5. TWRP ​​
Installations​Now it's not hard but still like a manual, I have added this. To install the drivers first and most important is to update Windows to its latest release. Extract .rar/.zip files downloaded from the above download section and go to the ADB Driver 1 & 2 folder and look if there is an executable file like .exe/.bat if yes then run it as admin and all set if there isn't then you may see a setup information well simple look for a file ends with .inf extension. If you find such a file then simply open device manager and click on your PC name for e.g my PC name is MINIX and then click on action tab select add hardware legacy --> Next --> Search and install automatically --> Next --> Show all --> Next --> Have Disk --> Browse and then go to the folder where the .inf/setup information file is located click on it --> Next and then it may pop up something like driver signature verification failed for it just move HERE All set ! But I would suggest to do a windows update check again for proper installing of drivers and then restart.
Process​Now it's not rocket science! Let's begin!
* Update your phone to latest firmware S232 (Necessary)
* Open ADB Folder
* Copy Downloaded TWRP to ADB folder
* Rename TWRP image to recovery.img
* Move to your mobile turn on USB debugging and OEM unlocking (These options are there in developer option)
* Connect USB (Will pop up some prompt, allow for this pc if still not then revoke USB permission and check back! )
* Run .bat file called as unlock_recovery.bat
----------(Your Phone will reboot into fast boot mode and will start Unlocking process just hit volume up key on your phone when you see a prompt written in small letters)---------
* Now open the cmd/PowerShell in ADB folder itself for that hold shift key and right click will see a prompt with PowerShell/cmd click on that if still confused the go-to address bar and type cmd there. That's its!
* Type the commands one by one has listed :
Code:
fastboot devices
fast boot flash recovery
Now its important that you reboot into recovery for the first time just after recovery flash or else you will need to do entire process again … Now to boot into recovery you will have to hold power key & both volume keys at a time until you see Lenovo logo, then release the power key and volume keys. After the TWRP logo, it will take some time! So wait, but if not boot into recovery do all the process again !
Cheers :good: you have successfully installed TWRP now ! If still not then don't worry drop a replay below so that we can assist you I don't want to make money from this so no donations but still if you want to appreciate my work just hit the small button of :good: That's more than enough for me

Q/A​
Q.1 My TWRP is removed after I booted back into the system, now what can I do?
A.1 Well, This is a normal thing caused due to a backup made by system of stock recover and you will have to delete it in order to fully use TWRP for that process is simple to download Aroma File Manager Flash this zip into TWRP recovery and you will see a file manager locate to system folder and in that look for a file called as recovery-from-boot.p and delete this file only /-
Q.2 My device is rebooting into TWRP only, what to do?

How To Guide Simple Guide How To Root

Alright so a lot of people seem to have issues with rooting their device and creating a lot of spam on this forum because they don't know how to read.
This guide is for Windows PCs and will be for the people who don't want to read complicated guides.
What you Need:
A Device that has an unlocked Bootloader
The Factory Image of the ROM you are using or updating to Download Here
The Latest STABLE Magisk Download Here, if you are opting for a Beta/Canary then have fun.
7-zip or similar file extractor
ADB and Fastboot, I use Minimal ADB and Fastboot but this Script Here will download the latest version and add it to your PATH.
Way to Transfer Files to Phone (USB Cable?)
Steps:
Update to the Latest ROM. This can be done via Sideloading (personal preference) or OTA
Confirm you are on the same version as the factory image. Current is SP2A.220305.013 aka March 2022 Update
Extract the Zip File to a Folder. Current filename is raven-sp2a.220305.013.a3-factory-87b3bf0a.zip
Go in to the folder and extract the Image ZIP into a Folder. Current Name is image-raven-sp21.220305.003.zip
Find the Boot.img and transfer it to your device.
Install the Magisk Manager APK on the Device
Open Magisk and press Install.
Select "Select and Patch a File" and select the Boot.img you transferred to your device.
Magisk will patch the file and place the new .img file in your downloads. The filename will look like "magisk_patched-24300_abcde.img".
Transfer the patched file from your Downloads folder to your PC.
Reboot your phone to Fastboot mode Youtube Tutorial
Locate the patched .img file and press SHIFT+RightClick, click the option "Copy as Path"
On your PC open Command Prompt. If you dont know how to do this, you shouldn't be rooting your device.
In command prompt type "fastboot flash boot" and then paste the location of your patched .img file.
The whole command should look like "fastboot flash boot "C:\Users\Admin\Downloads\magisk_patched-24300_abcde.img"
Reboot the phone with the command "fastboot reboot"
Once the device is booted up, go to Magisk and see if you are rooted.
If there is enough demand, I can provide photos to help.
If I messed up along the way, let me know and I can change the guide.

Good call, I was writing this on the fly and wasn't actually doing it as I was writing the guide.

Rather than saying they don't know how to read", it might be that they don't understand the "meta-language" of any given discussion or explanation!

Do you really think this guide is too hard to follow? It's thoughtful that you typed out the steps but is it really less confusing or difficult?

Is the whole vbmeta / boot verification thing no longer necessary?
I tuned out from all the root stuff because I only unlocked in the beginning and didn't want to wipe.

They are not required to change if you plan on running Magisk 24.3. I did not change anything when I updated my P6P (bought in Feb) and rooted it.

not needed anymore with latest magisk

That's great news, I've been missing it.

I am going to do this on S3B1.220218.006 (QPR3 Beta 1.1). Fingers crossed!

Worked perfectly, the only thing I might add is a link to the Google USB Drivers (since they must've updated). I had them installed originally (to have unlocked my device in the first place) but needed to update them.
Get the Google USB Driver | Android Studio | Android Developers
The Google USB Driver is required to perform adb debugging on Windows with Google devices.
developer.android.com
Thanks a ton! I would've never noticed that the wipe step was no longer needed.

I recognize I am replying a lot, haha... sorry about that.
Presumably the update method for this should work exactly like past Pixel devices, yeah?
For me, this method was as follows:
1. Download the full image and edit the script to remove the "-w"
2. Install the modified image
3. Boot up once
4. Then basically follow the original procedure from this thread again
I know on OnePlus devices I was always able to uninstall Magisk root via the Magisk app, take the OTA, then reinstall Magist root via the Magisk app before rebooting, but that never seemed to work on Pixel devices (at least for me).

Just to share...
I decided to give the Magisk restore images, OTA, install again before reboot method a try and it worked perfectly going from QPR 1.1 to 2.

Thank you for this post. I would like to root my phone. I am a noob and it’s a little intimidating. If you would add pictures, I for one, would really appreciate that. Thanks again!
