[Q] Recovery for at&t d850?

I rooted my g3 when I first got it, with towelroot. I don't have a recovery though so can't flash anything. I've searched and only see recoveries for other models.

We need the BL to be unlocked first in order to get a recovery such as TWRP.

So until then, the d850 is stuck with xposed? I have g3 tweaks box but wanted to flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/themes-apps/theme-g3-clean-look-kk-4-4-2-t2834442.

Flash custom recovery on lollipop (d855)

I've read some threads on how to flash a custom recovery, but they say that you need to downgrade to KitKat before you can flash a recovery. Is there any other way around? Like, to just flash it, without downgrading. Link to a working guide will be just fine, I just couldn't find anything.
I guess I need an unlocked bootloader in order to flash a custom recovery. How do I check if my bootloader is unlocked, and if it isn't, how do I unlock it? I'm rooted already, does that mean it's unlocked?

Hi,
First you must be root with the @avicohh script : http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951
Then use autorec from @bender_007 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/apk-flash-twrp-autorec-thanks-to-t3081396
With the D855 you have to downgrade to KitKat the aboot and laf, have bump boot and twrp recovery. Autorec do all these

I opted for autorec. It said that the flash was successful, but then the phone booted into the stock recovery asking for a factory reset. What do I do?

Mobile Hot Spot Working on Rooted G4's via ES File Explorer?

Just as the title says - can anyone with a rooted (H815 + TWRP + SuperSU) G4 comment on whether or not mobile hot spot works? I need to be able to activate it for mirroring my phone via chromecast to my appradio head unit, so it's a primary concern right now.
Thanks,

Are there any rooted G4s, from what I have read so far there are none.

my understanding is that the H815 model is unlockable via the LG unlock tool, which then allows you to either:
A) Fastboot flash the TWRP recovery, followed by flashing the SuperSU.zip for root
or
B) Fastboot booting the TWRP recovery, flashing the SuperSU.zip for root, and then using your newly achieved root to flash TWRP via in-OS apps
Perhaps SuperSU.zip is flashable but doesn't achieve anything yet, but my understanding was that the H815 international variant has both unlock/root taken care of for now.

Thank You for info but I will wait until there are custom roms before I "root". There just are not any good reasons for me to chance unsure methods at this time.

That's cool...this thread was asking anyone who HAS rooted if they can confirm mobile hotspot working. I do need that functionality

Root H815 on MM 6.0 V20d?

Hi guys ☺,
I bought today G4 eu model,it came with Marshmallow 6.0 V20d version.
I want to root it because of Greenify and Xposed,to increase the battery time,maybe later to flash some rom but...
There is a lot of topics on this subject,I started to read but I'm lost right now...as far as I saw,I can't root Marshmallow without unlocking the bootloader,only Lollipop,right?
Is it a big trouble to go back from MM to LP?
I'm not new in this flashing and rooting stuff,I had (still have) a Motorola Razr XT910,I flashed it 100 times for sure for 3.5 years but I didn't had to unlock the bootloader (it's impossible anyway) and there's a custom recovery Safestrap,modified Twrp which allows to flash and use 6 different roms,from JB to MM,without changing the kernel...
I will be grateful if someone can point me in the right direction,to give me some useful links etc.
And is there some list which procesess are safe to freeze with TB and which ones I can greenify?
Oh,and the bloatware too...
Sorry if I'm demanding but I want to bring out the best from this phone
Thank you in advance

Hi,
root without unlocking bootloader works only on lollipop, right. Not sure if u can downgrade, but when, u will use "LGUP" tool with the "H81510D.kdz" file. Maybe there exists a pre-rooted kdz to flash.
If u want to root android 6, u need a unlocked bootloader. Rooted Android 5.1.1 or unlock bootloader with rooted android 6.x.x

Ok,I successfully unlocked the bootloader but now I'm stuck with rooting and installing Twrp...
I've downloaded BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247 and TWRP-3.0.0.0-H815+ but there's a lot of metods,which one should I use?
Flash SuperSu+Twrp with stock recovery?
Install Twrp with adb command and then flash SuperSu with Twrp?
Install both with adb command?
I also saw somewhere that I must flash some other kernel that is already rooted...
I just need root and the Xposed for now,help me guys!

Im also Confused..Where can i find rooted kernel?
I already did this Method u said...But I got Boot Loop
Then I revover my phone with Lg Bridge
We need to find this.....I also Had Android MM with V20d

In my case I wasn't able to flash recovery on the stock kernel, I had to flash boot.img unpacked from the custom kernel like SimpleGX and only then I was able to flash recovery and full kernel through it.

the method i followed was-
1. boot into twrp recovery with adb command(you need to have the twrp.img file in PC and also copy it in internal memory of your phone with SU)
2. flash systemless root with twrp
3. reboot
4. install flashify
5.flash twrp.img from your phone.
6. done
but there aren't as much benefits of rooting as any other phone. viper4android doesn't work. spirit fm doesn't work. xposed doesn't work properly.(these 3 were the main reasons for which i rooted)

I didn't know i could flash something other than .zip files with twrp.
As for viper4android i tried normal way, flashed it with twrp, flashed extreme music mod with v4a fix. None seem to work. The drivers never get installed.
Xposed i haven't tried. I was in process of getting more information about it by reading various threads. But all seem to point to problems like bootloop, fc and Bluetooth issues. Can you guide me towards the best version of xposed for v20d with way to avoid problems or with as less problems as possible?

I think doesn't need to install recovery to root the phone.
Just this:
1) adb reboot bootloader
2) fastboot boot TWRP-2-8.7.0-h815.img
Wait a second and it will open, on the phone, the recovery.
Once open go to Advanced -> ADB sideload and take a swipe to start it where it says "Swipe to Start sideload".
Now on the PC write
3) adb sideload BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247.zip
( If it says after the instalation to install supersu etc just abort it)
And then, when installation is complete, press "Reboot System"
I rooted it this way, without install TWRP Recovery

Yeah - but the question has to be asked - why unlock the bootloader and root and not install TWRP? If you've got as far as unlocking the bootloader you might as well make life easier for yourself and install TWRP - that way anything you want to flash in the future can be done without being tethered to the PC, and also allows you to take proper full system image backups etc.

Of course , i agree with you. By the way, we can't root g4 on m6 without unlocked bootloader.
And finally, i decided to pass twrp on my phone, for every file i want to install from twrp, and not every time to boot from pc
You're right
p.s. the first thing i did after twrp installed, was to install g5 live wallpapers

Moto E4 Guide to rooting. Qualcomm Version

[ THE VZW VARIANT HAS A PERMALOCKED BOOTLOADER AND CANNOT BE ROOTED.]
@squid2's
qualcomm TWRP
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e4/development/twrp-twrp-moto-g4-qualcomm-t3655160
------------------------
To be able to mount system as RW in TWRP you have to go to wipe and format data, after sliding right type yes and this will restore your system to stock unencrypted, once you're done doing that reboot to recovery (NOT SYSTEM) then flash dmnoverity and then whatever root method you prefer phh su, magisk etc.
SuperSU is currently experiencing issues with our firmware.

Credit goes to Mer2017
Revised by Myself
Follow the following at your own risk!
I am not responsible for any mishaps with your devices.
The short version is:
1. Unlock the boot loader
2. Boot twrp
3. Flash noverity and magisk
4. Reboot to root'd phone.
0. Prepare
Get the following:
i. Motorola usb drivers: your pc won't talk properly with the device without these. google around for these.
ii. adb and fastboot: used to unlock the bootloader and boot twrp https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
iv. no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1 zip: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e4/how-to/moto-e-guide-to-rooting-t3652982/post74282478
v. Squid2's TWRP for the E4: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e4/development/twrp-twrp-moto-g4-qualcomm-t3655160
vi: (optional) stock roms: in case you need to go back https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=195327 applying these with RSD lite (if RSD can *actually* detect your phone) or manually (
) should work.
0.1 Prepare the phone:
Get developer options on android and turn on "OEM unlocking" and "USB debugging".
Test that your pc can see the phone by running:
0.2 Dump your zips onto the phone
1. Unlock the boot loader
The post here details how to unlock the motorola boot loader. Keep in mind it will probably void any warranty on the phone. This process involves signing up for a motorola account to get the unlock code.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72878183&postcount=2
2. Boot into bootloader using: adb reboot bootloader
2.1 Flash TWRP using: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
2.2 Now type fastboot reboot recovery and TWRP should start.
3. Flash magisk and no-verify zip
In twrp, go to wipe, format data and slide it, type yes this unencrypts the device. Now reboot the RECOVERY and set system as r/w. Now flash dmnoverity, and then flash magisk.
4. Reboot
That should be it. When you reboot back to android, install magisk manager if you haven't already and feel free to use your root.

Thank you so much for this! Seems like this can all be done on the phone itself? Does it require a microsd?
Sent from my Moto E (4) using Tapatalk

I'm not sure, since I have a micro SD I used it but you should be able to get away with it without one.
Also aside from unlocking the bootloader and booting into twrp from a pc the rest is done on the device.

Which version of the E4 can this be done? There is some variants of this.

I use the metro pcs snapdragon one, most other people are reporting success with other prepaid carriers I'm assuming most of them have the snapdragon variant.

I don't see how this is possible without a sd card, since you can't get root if you give TWRP access to your data, so where would you put the rooting files like the noverify zip and the magisk zip

True I didn't even think about that, yeah you need an SD card, and make sure it's formatted as external memory. After root you can reformat it to internal again If you wanted

i guess no root ever for xt1767 vz since bl can't be unlocked

More than likely no, unless your bootloader is unlocked there's not much you can do, and cross carrier roms might not work for everyone.

It doesn't work that way, flashing a different firmware won't change your bootloader unlocking capabilities, since to unlock the bootloader you need a code from Motorola, and they won't give it to you for the Verizon version.

Help!
"Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking." Can someone please help me with this issue? Everything I put in was correct. I have a moto E4 verizon version.

Is this working on international mediatek variant {XT1760}

No idea, give it a shot and report back if it works.

did u have backup of moto e4 stock firmware ?
(XT1760 - international version)
Mtk-droidtools failed to load rom structure and Miracle-tool dump a buggy Scatter file, with partition index error.
Anyway to extract stock rom without any error.

I don't have one, and I'm not sure. I've never ran into an issue like that.
