I had to do a factory reset to make root work on B107. After that it worked with no problems. Don't know if it will work for you though.

[HowTo] Root/Unroot Samsung Galaxy W (I8150)

For the record, rooting causes a violation of the garantuee policy of Samsung. Furthermore there is a possibility of demaging the Android-system(bricking). This has not happend as far as I know, but it should be mentioned. As advanced user it is usually always possible to recover the system, but still, just to let you know.
So whoever takes the risk, takes the responsibility
Advice: Use a PC without any drivers or software from other Android devices, this may causes conflicts with the drivers in the ADB.
Rooting
Rooting via Recovery mode(SD card)
Note: This instructions is written for the stock recovery. It has been reported that custom recoverys are causing problems during rooting. If you use a custom recovery which causes problems, please flash the stock recovery via ODIN first(scroll down to Other). Than apply the rooting
1. Download this Zip-file copy this into the internal SD card.
2. While switched off, keep the following buttons pressed. Release the power-button once the Samsung Galaxy W(I8150) is switched on.

After you hit the menu-button shown on the last image, the screen will gray out, you will have to wait until the recovery menu appears.
3. Navigate with the volume up and down to apply sdcard:update.zip in Recovery Menu. To confirm your selection use the home-button.
4. Choose (with volume buttons) the update.zip file on your internal sd card and confirm again with Home-button. You will have to wait 5 seconds.
5. Now choose reboot system now and confirm with home button.
Now you device should be rooted.

Can you let us know which version you are using ? Settings->About phone->Build number
As far as I know there is a build version, I don't know which it was, which is not rootable with Doomlord.
EDIT: Rooting via Recovery works.
BTW: Have you tried the manual method ?

The provided instruction does not work on LA2 firmware. You still can get root from Recovery-Mode using update.zip with busybox, su and etc.
The root instruction is almost the same as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253707.
I have used attahed files to get root. Thanks Dronson from 4pda for the provided files.

Hi, thanks for this!!
Just to be clear, can this method be used with Custom RZRecovery, or only with Stock Recovery?
Also, has anyone tried the Root tool contained in the RZRecovery Plugins package:
http://rzdroid.com/ftp/recovery/gingerbread/plugins/RZR-plugins-bundle-update.zip
PLUGINS
This bundle contains 4 plugins:
Disable/enable Dalvik bytecode verification in Android
Disable OTA downloads in Android
Fix Permissions
Root the installed ROM
After installing this update, there will be a new menu in Extras called Plugins.

After successfully updating use the first method rooting via recovery. This works for now and could work in future.

What is this?
This is a utility to easily root your LG G3 (specific models only). It's a fairly foolproof script that includes all the dependencies you'll need for getting your phone rooted easily.
This is the FULL version. This means that it will automatically root, and ask you if you want TWRP installed and a custom boot that doesn't trip the root checker!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Who made this?
This root is a collaboration between myself (IOMonster), jcase, and autoprime.
Special thanks also to beaups for some initial guidance looking at the vulnerable application.
Thanks to @Shelnutt2 for the security-disabled boot.img
Thanks to @Dees-Troy for the TWRP image!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Is my phone compatible?
The new LG G3 models each are slightly different with regards to rooting and unlocking.
To see a matrix of which LG G3 phones are compatible with this root, please see this Google Docs spreadsheet that we've compiled.
When you run this program, your phone will reboot and run a test to see if it's compatible. If the application succeeds, it'll let you know that it's able to permaroot you. If not, it'll fail gracefully and reboot you back to normal Android without having changed anything.
Please note that this version is currently only compatible with the T-Mobile D851 version of the LG G3. For other phones, we suggest you look for the LITE version of PurpleDrake.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How do I use this?
WE NOW SUPPORT WINDOWS! YAY ME
To start, for either platform you'll need to scroll down to the download section and get the file.
Ensure that your phone is in ADB mode (PTP Mode for everyone but Verizon. Verizon users need to be in "Internet"/"Ethernet" mode)
Linux Instructions (in a terminal!)
Extract the file you downloaded...
tar xvf ~/Downloads/PurpleDrake-TMO_VERSION.tar.gz
Mark the application as executable, and run it!
cd PurpleDrake-TMO
chmod +x purpledrake_linux.sh
./purpledrake_linux.sh
OSX Instructions (just a bit easier)
Extract the file you downloaded
Double-click on "purpledrake_osx"
Windows Instructions
Extract the file you downloaded
Double-click on "purpledrake_windows"
The application will guide you through all the steps you need.
You will still need to install SuperSU from the market after installing PurpleDrake. This pack does not include one.
If you choose to install the custom boot.img, your phone's root checker will not be tripped and your phone will show as UNROOTED.
After, be sure to check @autoprime's post for how to disable OTA upgrades! here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54254111&postcount=2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But, what if I don't want to run your script to root?
Well then, I'd be a little hurt, but you can still do everything the script does manually.
Download the package, and extract it. Open a terminal in the main folder of the archive and run these commands:
Code:
adb reboot --bnr_recovery
adb push ./assets/start_restore /temp/start_restore
adb push ./assets/permaroot.bin /temp/start_restore
adb reboot
That will perma-root you, however there's no protection from doing something stupid or the phone being incompatible. Please be careful!

Thanks so much! How can I show my appreciation?
Since this was a collaboration project, proceeds that are made from this root will be split between amongst us so we can purchase a Sprint test phone to root (as it's currently not rooted).
If you'd like to donate to us, click the "Donate to me" button on the left sidebar under my name, and be sure to enter a comment to let us know that you're donating towards the PurpleDrake project.

A: Be cautious using Flashify as it seems it's not working right.. or people are hitting the wrong buttons with it.
HERE are the stock TMO D851 partitions.
Use fastboot to flash recovery(TWRP or stock) and stock boot. This will install TWRP and fix booting into rom.
If on Windows you will need fastboot drivers. Use Google to find fastboot binaries and drivers.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
The commands to flash TWRP manually instead of using flashify is below.
Place TWRP on the root of your internal /sdcard/ using MTP, downloading it directly to phone or using ADB push.
Code:
adb push name_of_file.img /sdcard/
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/name_of_file.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
Disable OTA:
Open LG Hidden Menu (3845#*851#) --> WLAN Test --> OTA Setting --> OFF
*Replace "851" with your devices model number, 850, 852, 855 etc...
The first D851 update has been released (10M). Bootloader remained unlocked. It would appear future OTAs will be safe to take AS LONG AS YOUR PHONE IS NOT MODIFIED! If you have flashed TWRP or installed xposed or modified /system then you need to restore any changes made or flash stock firmware (tot/kdz) before taking OTA.
If using a non-tmobile g3 I would be hesitant about taking OTA updates. An OTA may update the boot stack to block Bump!
EFS Backup:
Code:
[FONT="Arial Narrow"][B]Backup EFS after jailbreaking your G3. EFS is split into 2 partitions modemst1 and modemst2.
img files will be on root of internal sdcard. Save the .img files somewhere else besides the sdcard... email, cloud, etc..[/B]
DO NOT FLASH OTHER PEOPLES EFS OR FLASH YOUR OWN BACKUPS ONTO ANOTHER PHONE.
THIS WILL BREAK EFS ON THE PHONE YOU ARE FLASHING TO. EFS BACKUPS ARE FOR THE PHONE THEY CAME FROM ONLY.
I have made a new thread on EFS backup and restore which can be found [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/efs-lg-g3-efs-backup-restore-t2907329"]HERE[/URL].

Download the tmo .tot file and use lg flash to restore it to stock. itll format everything on internal sdcard so backup anything u may need off it.

install the drivers.
put phone into Download Mode (power off. unplug USB. pull battery. put battery back in. press/hold Volume Up then plug in USB cable.)
In Windows Device Manager set the phones serial COM port to #41. (*see picture guide for help)
Install [URL="http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G3/Setup_LGFlashTool_1.8.6.527.zip"][B]LG Flash[/B][/URL]. In "C:\LG\LG Flash" folder delete megalock dll. Replace with .dll below.
new megalock dll - [url]http://bit.ly/1cQADXm[/url] (this site includes a "download manager.. UNCHECK THE BOX before downloading dll file.)
Run LG Flash in the "C:\LG\LG Flash" folder. Select korean factory if asked.
When LG Flash opens you will see a box to select firmware and dll.
Select [URL="http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G3/LGUP_8974.dll"][B]LG Flash .dll[/B][/URL]
Select (.tot)
Hit OK (*see picture guide for help)
Hit yellow start button. If you get Milkyway error click ok. LG Flash will then run a crc check on the tot file. Takes a bit.
After crc check finishes unplug the phone. plug phone back in. it should now be seen in LG Flash and start flashing.
Phone will reboot when finished. You may end up on a screen with s "2"... let it sit there for a minute or two.
If stuck on "2" try unplugging the usb cable from the phone.. wait 10 seconds.. then plug the usb cable back in. now wait 30 seconds and hopefully it changes to a "3"
Once the phone says "3" you can unplug the USB.. remove the battery and plug back in.. boot back up... you are now 100% stock.

Hoax? What?
This pack is ONLY for the T-Mobile G3 which has an unlocked bootloader out of the box.
D855 support is NOT included in here. There will be a separate thread when we have an unlock for the bootloaders of the rest of the G3 family.

There is no boot loader unlock..where ever you read this is misinformed...the T-Mobile variant ships boot loader unlocked, it is the only one so far to be shipping unlocked.

I'm aware of that and sry it wasn't meant offensive or to put this one down, autoprime, did imply at the bounty thread, that you as well managed to unlock the bootloader, at least at the beginning, that's what I'm referring to, sry that i said it the wrong way, was a bit disappointed, which for sure isn't your fault or the one of this tool, it's still great progress you made.

Yeah great time to be a Mac owner
I have a feeling this treads about to turn in to a "when will this version be supported" topic :/
LGG3 and beyond
Success!
1. THANK YOU!
2. It didn't work the first time around, temproot worked but permaroot did not. Maybe it had to do with the fact that I was reading this forum while it was waiting for my input... I can't see how that would have made a difference but whatever. [[ Edit: It worked the second time running, I just followed the instructions immediately - no problems. /Edit ]]
3. Just a reminder for Linux users ... you have to add udev rules as described here: http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html ... and when you are done with that, also run:
$ sudo service udev restart; sudo killall -9 adb
4. My G3 would only connect to my laptop (Ubuntu 14.04) when it was in PTP mode. MTP or Charge Only did _NOT_ work... Only PTP.
5. THANK YOU AGAIN! You devs rock!

TMobile GPad F 8.0 (V496) Info

For those that picked up a TMobile GPad F 8.0 recently, here's a good thread to ask questions until we either get a separate forum or get enough info to move over to the General.
Root
Kingroot works well following the instructions here: All you need for LG GPad 8.0 [LG v490] thread. Once rooted, replace it with SuperSu using this method.
It is best to use KingRoot 4.1 or earlier to root, replacing it as soon as possible. 4.5 is very difficult to uninstall, although you can purchase SuperSUMe on Google Play to attempt it.
OS
Stock OS is the only option at the moment. There is a system update available which fixes the stagefright bug. It can still be rooted.
Recovery
Thanks to @Rashed97 and @KAsp3rd a beta TWRP is available here. This is not a zip, so use Flashify, TWRP Manager or equivalent to flash zips. Hooking up a USB mouse also works well for in-recovery navigation.
Kernel
Similar to LG stock ROM on their phones, the kernel has some adjustable features accessible through Kernel Aduitor or Trickster.
Xposed
Xposed installs and runs well. G3TweakBox has the ability to adjust some extra settings.
ADB driver
I got one as part of the Father's Day promotion as I needed to upgrade my mobile internet hotspot. I would like to migrate from a Nexus 7 2013 and needed the ADB driver for restore using Helium. Has anyone come across a working ADB driver for this GPad?
I was able to root with Kingroot 4.1 and then replace Kinguser and su binaries to SuperSU using this method:

There are performance issues without root as well.
FYI I just unlocked this tablet. Doesn't give 4G LTE on AT&T though, only HSPDA+
To Unlock this model, access the Hidden Menu:
1) From Home screen,Touch the “ Contact”
2) Touch the “ Search Contact
3) You can see the “Keyboard” after Touch the “ Search Contact”
4) Touch the “+ “ icon after Dialer 2945#*496#
5) Touch Network Lock, you only have 3 attempts to enter the correct Unlock Code which you can get from any online vendors.
6) Press Unlock
Rooted with Kingroot & replaced it with SuperSu using this script. No computer required just make sure you have Terminal Emulator installed!
Download the file attached and extract it
Put the mrw folder on the root of the sd card
Open Terminal Emulator and type:
Code:
su
grant terminal emulator root access
Next type:
Code:
sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
The script should then run and work it's magic. After it's completed SuperSU should open up and prompt you to update the binaries. Update the "Normal" way and reboot afterwards.
And that's it! :good:
Post 1000, hooray.
VRAM seems to be on by default and is eating up about 256K according to Kernel Aduitor. Disabling that helped performance some after I did a factory reset. The LTE radio is stronger than my G3, but that might just be a longer antenna.
the 'replace kingroot...' script didn't work for me. Anybody having issues with root not working after reboot? i have to re-root with kingroot every time. going to try the adb method now

I think they must have updated something on their end because now the same kingroot apk is working - root correctly persisting across reboots

I followed your instructions to the "T"! Your method for rooting with Kingsroot 4.1 English version, and replaced it with SuperSu
works like a charm! My suggestion to everybody, do everything in the internal storage area! Don't use your external SD Card using the above instructions! I'm making phone calls on this baby to via WiFi and LTE, sweet!
now just need to get roms
kinda makes me want to try and make my own.. I've never developed before. lol!

I got a CM recovery to build using the stock kernel source from LG, but I'm super hesitant to flash it, until I can verify the LG Updater software works for me. I don't have a Windows box ATM, so it'll take a bit more effort. I'll post here with results once I'm willing to flash.
Now that we have the root, has anyone tried to adjust the color of a panel? It is way too warm compared to my other devices (viewing my DSLR pics almost makes me think thr wirte balance was off).

Well, I flashed it, and things went, err, poorly. I'm done trying. Turns out, it's not actually possible to recover from download mode with LGMobile Support Tool, at least until an update is made available online.
Thanks for trying. I assume the bootloader is locked on this too, meaning we will need to bump any flashable zips anyway.
The step to replace KingRoot with Supersu failed half way for me. Apparently there's a typo in the script >.< Now KingRoot thinks that the tablet is rooted even though it isn't... stuck with broken root...
That is not good news, if this baby has a locked boot loader I am taking it back. Left AT&T for locking the boot loaders of their devices.

[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!

You don't need root. You can just flash the RAW file. But you MIGHT not be able to update it because updater won't recognize WW update zip file if you don't change that COUNTRY file.

No, you need BL unlock to flash things.
And... "Root is temporary, rom is forever"
So, you can stay without root NOT FOLLOWING the latest'step.

How to unroot after rooting? Do i need to extract the current boot.img & re flash it to unroot it?
Therazorsedge said:
Hi, I see a lot of threads, so, I open my own.
This is a tutorial of how you can have root permanently AND updates (root+updates) on this beauty.
And also, you can switch to CN (more battery, but less features -> themes, stuff) or WW ROM.
First of all, there's this files you should download on your computer or your beauty:
(A) Log by Google: MOD EDIT: LINK REMOVED, please provide proper credits when sharing others' work
(B) Download OPEN BL from Asus website, the APK to open it.
(C) Root the Asus (Fastboot flash boot on CMD) with a GOOD CABLE (**** cables doesn't work, sorry.) AND with the LATERAL PORT. You need PLATFORM TOOLS AND/OR MINIMAL ADB (GOOGLE IT AS EVERYTHING...) TO RUN...
(D) "Buy" the root explorer APK on play store, don't think for a minute you can find that on Google, or you can find it, I don't know
(E) Install Magisk APK check everything works as ROOT ENVIROMENT SUCCESFULLY INSTALLED.
(F) On ROOT EXPLORER APK press on the ‘ROOT‘ tab to access the root storage of your phone. Navigate to the ‘/Vendor/Factory‘ folder and find the file with the name ‘COUNTRY‘. Tap on the file and open it with the ‘Text Editor‘. put there CN if you want China (capital letters) or, WW if you want global, reset phone.
(G) Go to the big 4GB file you first downloaded and search the FLASH ALL AFT bat, (extract it first); then, put the phone to BL with power+vol. UP until you see in GREEN Start. Put cable on side port, and double click on FLASH ALL. Voila! You have your phone converter and -it can eat updates.

Troubleshooting
If your phone isn't detected use another cable go to device manager and check for ASUS ADB INTERFACE TO SHOW if not, change cable and/or download ADB drivers on XDA the .exe file.
The magisk image is to root the phone Fastboot flash boot .IMG (put it on CMD window)
Bonus:

(10) The last step of this very good and awesome tutorial; to keep root after update; download the file, put on root directory; let it update DONT DONT DONT reboot; go to Magisk,

Thank you for the instructions.
My phone's product code has been changed to "WW_AI2201" and could be updated the firmware from ASUS site once. However, after update the product code returned "CN_AI2201". Could you please help me to keep it "WW"?
And also please tell how to change the fingerprint from "CN" to "WW", if you know.

How to unroot after rooting? Do i need to extract the current boot.img & re flash it to unroot it?

To unroot you can just go into magisk and click uninstall, but then you probably also want to relock your bootloader MAKE SURE YOU FACTORY RESET AND HAVE STOCK ROM BEFORE YOU RELOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER!!!
Code:
fastboot oem lock
#OR
fastboot flashing lock
Then you probably also want to go to settings -> developer mode afterwards and disable -> 'OEM Unlocking'
I can't get root explorer to mount R/W on root to get COUNTRY file changed from CN to WW..
Though I could save the file but device info HW shows my fingerprint is still CN..
unable to perform manual update as fingerprint is still CN..
Had my root checker checked, running latest magisk as well..
Tried multiple root explorer versions & other file manager with root access..
Some file manager showed "file is read-only"
anybody having the same issue? any solution?

I'm having the same issue too.. looks like it wasn't R/W but R/O only in root explorer hence it's the cause you won't permanently change the COUNTRY file..
Did a fingerprint check using device info HW app still shows my fingerprint as CN...

I have tried but it always doesn't go through..
I use:
adb devices and it I can see it reads my phone.. but when I type adb reboot bootloader, it doesn't continue after this for me to be able to use the commands that you gave.
Is there any way that I am doing wrong? Kindly help me lock my phone again.
Thank you!

Same as me! Just update zip once, then 2n update will be fail, but i saw the country file show WW in root explorer .....any method can flash zip directly?
iMoc said:
You don't need root. You can just flash the RAW file. But you MIGHT not be able to update it because updater won't recognize WW update zip file if you don't change that COUNTRY file.

I bought the version with 12GB Ram and 128GB SSD, and I think that's what happens to mine, because I can´t update it OTG, what steps should I follow? What risk do I run that I already have a root and the seller did, and I don't know by what method he did or what he did to pass it from CN to WW
