Reserved too...

Big thanks to you man!

Question about the guide because I'm confused. Do you wipe data/factory reset (and so on) before or after flashing the ROM? Because from what I've read from other post you do it before flashing not after. Please enlighten a n00b like me.

It is preferable to be after the flashing as the rom

That's the reason why I'm getting lots of buggy installs. I will try that the next time I install a rom. Or maybe later when i install the new nAa kernel and ROM.
Thanks once again. Maybe ill do it before and after. LOL

Making a complete wipe/factory reset should be after flashing the ROM.. N wiping before flashing the ROM dosn't make a difference.. N the bugs u feel are only if they are in the ROM/kernel n not the way u make a wipe.. So I guess it might have cleared your question well..

Fantastic!
Thanks a lot, my x10 is rooted!
But it only worked for me when I didn't press on "Charge phone": I left the screen like that.
Before, when I pressed "charge phone" the adb couldn't find my phone...
just let you know that, it could help someone else.
Again, thank you!
Inji.
Ps: I'm also a rooting addict now: just rooted my iconia a501 recently from the same great forum!

Thanks, worked great !

Thank you, condi, for your answer.
1.Recovery - can reach it - rev.29 <3e> with some errors becuase of the system and data wipe.(errors like: "E:Fail to read boot logo flag" , "E::Can't open /dev/block/mmcblk0p5(No such file or directory)" , "E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command" , "E:Fail to mount /sdcard(No such file or directory)" );
2.adb is installed using "Sony Tablet ADB Driver Automated Installer", Composite Adb Interface in recovery and looks fine;
3.
4.Well , here is the real problem. AiO is displaying this
Code:
[*] Enter recovery (power + vol-up) and run _hack_recovery.zip
Wait for assert error..
The problem is that as you can see from "1) Recovery errors", my memory card can't be mounted so I can't use that _hack_recovery.zip from recovery. Also I don't have that hack_recovery file.
Here is a screenshot with the recovery screen, dropbox link: /u/43085866/20130223_140402.jpg

[Tutorial] How to achieve root on P710/L7 2 single sim verison on KITKAT ROM

This is now DEPRECATED and NOT SUPPORTED ANYMORE since there is an easier method to do it! Links won't get updated! You can still use the written info!
If you want rooted kitkat head to my friend's thread @maxx_hr (THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK!) HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7-l9-ii/development/kk-kk-kdz-p710-root-t2950532
Hello to you all!​Warning: ​
Code:
[COLOR="Red"][SIZE="4"]Your warranty is now void. I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
Please do some research if you have any concerns about all contained in this tutorial
before you follow it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
But since i'm a nice dude i will try to guide you anyway:)[/SIZE][/COLOR]
In this tutorial we will learn how to:
- achieve root on our L7 II (Both single and dual-sim, so P715/P710 and all the derivated phones from them) by LG running a Custom Rom or Stock KK Rom.
FOR THIS FOLLOW ALL STEPS.
- unbrick/flash to a specific firmware using Lg Flash Tool (In this tutorial there are only 2 KDZ files stock JB for P710 and P715. If you want to recover from a brick or want a different KDZ file you can find them over here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/)
FOR THIS FOLLOW STEP 1 AND STEP 2 (install all drivers including adb and download the files that are needed at Step 2).
- flash with CWM (There are 3 methods I describe. Use the one that suits you the best. You can flash any *.zip that is suitable for your device.)
FOR THIS FOLLOW STEP 5.​
Save your data you need, you will lose all data so backup with Titanium Backup or a program you like the info you need.​
ALL DOWNLOADS ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST!​
This tutorial will be split in steps as the following:
1. Preparing the Windows machine with the right drivers and software.
2. Reverting back to Jellybean Stock Rom.
3. Rooting on Stock Rom (Jellybean).
4. Installing Unlocked Bootloader and ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM).
5. Flashing KitKat or a Custom Rom through CWM.
6. Flashing Root through CWM.
So let's start the job.
1. Preparing the Windows machine with the right drivers and software.
Uninstall everything related to LG from Control Panel (Drivers, PC Sync etc).
Restart your PC.
Download and unrar the archive "LG Drivers.rar".
Install both files inside and restart your computer.
Download "adb-setup-1.4.2.exe" and install it (answers should be y y y and install the drivers when prompted).
Download "Framaroot-1.9.1.apk".
Download "LG Flash Tool 2014.rar".
Download "Free LG P710.rar"
Download "P710 Stock KK.zip". -> Stock KK image with Stock KK kernel in it made from the original V20 KDZ (Open Europe).
Download SuperSU
*Download "P715 Stock KK.zip" and "LG P715 (JellyBean).kdz" if you are running a dual-sim version of the phone.
*Download all the files you need!
From now on I will consider you have this files and I will just call their names when to use them.
2. Reverting back to Jellybean Stock Rom.
Open the back cover of your phone and pull the battery out. Wait about 10 seconds. Put the battery back in.
While HOLDING (keep pressed) the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON insert the USB Cable in the phone (you need to have your USB cable inserted in an USB 2 port from the back of your PC).
When you see the yellow screen with emergency mode stop pressing the button.
Unplug the USB from the phone and then plug it in again.
Unrar "LG Flash Tool 2014.rar" and open "LGFlashTool2014.exe" with right-click Run As Admin.
*If you cannot open this program you need to install "VC_RedistInstaller.exe". You are missing some libraries of visual C++*
*IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER PHONE (another LG or P715) DO THE SAME INSTRUCTION AND REPLACE JUST THE KDZ FILE ON "Select KDZ File" TO THE ONE YOU DOWNLOADED AND IS SUITABLE FOR YOUR OWN DEVICE.
Move PhoneMode from DIAG to EMERGENCY. Select KDZ File: you have a file called "V10J_00.kdz" in the same folder as the tool. Select that. Press CSE Flash (CAUTION!!! This will reflash the phone and YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR DATA SO BE WARNED).
Another screen will open and press START.
Another screen will open once again press OK.
At a point you will get an error like "Offline BLA BLA". DON'T DO ANYTHING DO NOT PRESS OK.
Wait until your phone reboots and then you can close this tool.
Remove USB cable.
IMPORTANT STEP:
Pull out the battery. Wait 10 seconds put it back. While holding VOLUME DOWN + HOME BUTTON press POWER BUTTON. Wait until you see LG logo and stop pressing POWER. Keep pressing the other 2 until you see android robot doing things. Wait until the phone boots.
CONGRATZ you are on JELLYBEAN (Or the KDZ you chose).
3. Rooting on Stock Rom (Jellybean).
When you see the welcome screen just fast forward everything.
Go to system settings->security->tick Unknown sources->OK.
Go to system settings->developer options->OK->tick USB debugging->YES.
With an SD card reader or with your USB connected as Media Sync (MTP) copy the "Framaroot-1.9.1.apk" to your SD Card.
Using the phone's FILE MANAGER go to external_SD and click the Framaroot you just copied. Run it using Package Installer Just Once and Install.
When finished press OPEN. At the first choice choose Install SuperSU and then press on "Gandalf". You will get Success. Press OK and reboot.
You will see SuperSU in you apps.
YAY! IT'S DONE.
4. Installing Unlocked Bootloader and ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM).
*SAME FILE YOU NEED FOR LG P715
Earlier you have download "Free LG P710.rar" and in the first step you installed ADB. We will use that now.
Unrar the "Free LG P710.rar" and place the 2 files ON THE ROOT (only on root) of the SD card using device mounted in MTP mode or SD card reader. Put back the card if you use the second option.
WARNING!!!
This can mess up you device so just do what i say step by step!​
Plug the USB Cable in the Phone once again and use MTP connection mode.
Click Start+R type CMD and press ENTER.
Run the Following with copy paste to CMD.
Code:
adb devices
You will see your device.
*IF YOU CANNOT MAKE YOUR DEVICE BE RECOGNIZED IN "adb devices" do this:
Install this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=ro
Open terminal and continue with the steps down below.
Code:
adb shell
You will see something ending with $.
Code:
su
Unlock the dvice if it is locked and your phone will ask for superuser permission press GRANT.
Code:
dd if=/storage/external_SD/APPSSBL.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
This will copy the unlocked bootloader to the bootloader partition.
Code:
dd if=/storage/external_SD/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
This will copy the CWM to recovery partition.
Code:
reboot recovery
This will reboot your phone in CWM if you followed all steps correctly.
GREAT SUCCES we have an unlocked bootloader and CWM.
Close your CMD.
Unplug USB.
5. Flashing KitKat or a Custom Rom through CWM.
*IF YOU WANT TO FLASH ANOTHER ZIP FILE OR YOU ARE ON P715 JUST USE THE ARCHIVE YOU NEED AS REFERENCE, NOT "P710 Stock KK.zip". CHOOSE THE FILE THAT IS MOST SUITABLE OR YOU THINK IT'S BEST FOR YOU
I made "P710 Stock KK.zip" you downloaded. This is the stock image for KK Open Europe. Here you can either flash mine or search for a Custom Rom for your device. Either way you will follow the exact same steps but with a different archive. I will take for reference the "P710 Stock KK.zip".
Plug USB in.
You Navigate using Volume Up Button (UP) and Volume Down Button (DOWN). The Power Button is OK.
Do this:
- Go to "wipe data/factory reset" and OK. Go to YES then OK. Wait until done.
- Go to "mounts and storage" and do the following: "format /cache" and "format /system" everytime with YES as second option. Press "go back" once.
- Go to "advance" and then "wipe dalvik cache" and YES. Press "go back".
Here you have 3 options.
OPTION 1.
Use an SD card reader copy the Zip file to the root of the SD card or copying using CWM. Using CWM you navigate with Volume Up and Volume Down to "mounts and storage" press POWER BUTTON (OK). Go to "mount USB storage" and your SD card will appear in windows and you can copy. After that you press "go back" 2 times to get to the main menu.
Go to "Install zip" and then "choose zip from sdcard". Search for the zip file and press OK then go to "YES" and press OK. Wait until done.
Go to "wipe data/factory reset" and OK. Go to YES then OK. Wait until done.
Press "Reboot System Now" and "yes" if asked (if you are asked about some fix or anything after you press reboot now choose the positive thing like the answer that is not no).
OPTION 2.
Copy the file using adb push. Open a CMD window in Windows (Start+R type CMD press ENTER). Copy this:
Code:
adb push
With the space. After space go where you downloaded the zip file highlight it and drag it in the CMD. Leave a space after that and type /sdcard (without space after).
Wait until done and close CMD.
After you copied the file to your sdcard go to "install zip" -> "choose zip from sdcard" -> search for the "P710 Stock KK.zip" press OK then go to "YES" and your installation will beging. Wait until it is done. Go to "wipe data/factory reset" and OK. Go to YES then OK. Wait until done.
Press "Reboot System Now" and "yes" if asked (if you are asked about some fix or anything after you press reboot now choose the positive thing like the answer that is not no).
NOTE: In the zip i made i don't know why i couldn't sideload it but usually you do not have to copy to SD card to flash something. You can sideload it. All you have to do is:
-Go to "install zip" -> "install from sideload"
On your computer open a CMD and copy this :
Code:
adb sideload
Copy with space and after what you copied grab the zip you want to flash and drag it to CMD. Hit ENTER. Sideload will send the zip to phone and process of flashing will start. After it is done reset to factory again.
Press "Reboot System Now" and "yes" if asked (if you are asked about some fix or anything after you press reboot now choose the positive thing like the answer that is not no).
CONGRATZ YOU ARE NOW ON KITKAT. I HONESTLY THINK THAT YOU SHOULD GO FOR THIS CUSTOM ROM OVER HERE BECAUSE IT IS LIKE 10 TIMES BETTER THAN THE STOCK KK. TO INSTALL JUST DOWNLOAD THE ZIP FILE FROM THERE (V2) AND FOLLOW THE TUTORIAL WITH JUST REPLACING THE ZIP WITH THE OTHER ZIP.

6. Flashing Root through CWM.
On some ROMS root will not be there. To avoid this we will flash the SuperSU zip.
To get to recovery you have 2 ways:
- From you ROM connect USB as MTP or in a way that ADB recognizes it (device gets detected by adb devices) type adb reboot recovery.
- Close your phone. At the same time press VOLUME DOWN + HOME BUTTON + POWER BUTTON. When you see the LG logo stop pressing POWER BUTTON. Keep the others 2 until you are in CWM.
Install the SuperSU zip with one of the ways you learnt at step 5.
You are rooted now.
Hope everything worked out fine for you and you are happy. Have a really nice day.

Does P713 have NFC?
This method actually works for dual sim too,you just have to use P715 kdz's.

Yeah it does. Maybe this weekend I will mod it. It is usefull for recoverying from soft bricks also just Step 1 and 2.
it was great till i get stuck on boot loop ,,, now how to solve ?
thanks for the useful guide.
I have a problem though, I cannot go after kdz extraction.
LG Tools stops with an cryptic error like [009.400.120.120.120]PC????? and looking at the log it seems there are troubles in unpacking the kdz file.
I have tried with different roms but still the same.
Does anyone has the same problem ?

I can't really understand you. The point of this guide is to get root on kitkat so flashing with lg flashtool will not work if you want kit kat rooted. I tested that V10J on my own l7 2 (p710). Also if you flashed Jellybean did you press CSE Flash not Normal Flash?

Ok do that step again. Flash with that tool using the image i provided. After the last ok. Even when you get the offline error don't touch it until phone reboots. If you get bootloop do this.
1. Pull out battery. Wait 10 seconds. Push battery back in.
2. While holding POWER DOWN + HOME BUTTON press POWER BUTTON. Wait until you see LG logo then stop presing POWER. You will get to see android guy doing stuff. Then tell me if it's ok.

Don't forget to press the thx button it's in the right . I will add this to the tutorial I didn't need it but who knows.
I managed to do the "root" step, but somehow cannot proceed with the next step.
When I check "USB debugging", the phone doesn't connect to the computer for some reason. I tried multiple computers, with no luck. The "adb devices" says just empty "List of devices attached".
If I disable the USB debugging, the phone gets connected just fine, if I enable it again, it gets stuck on "Connected as installer", and doesn't connect as MTP....
Any idea how to fix this?
Do you have drivers installed? Also when you press MTP cancel if your phone wants to install anything.

I tried everything, without luck. I ended just using terminal emulator to copy the files on phone directly (might be cool to add this to your tutorial, as someone else can also have this problem). So, now I'm on Amigas ROM - makes a HUGE difference! Thanks, looking forward for some other custom ROMs for this phone..

Strange huuummm. I don't know. Yeah i will add Terminal Emulator also in weekend. Never happened to any of my phones before... Maybe driver conflict on your PC or something like that.

We are going to use The custom recovery I provided in this post and not the one provided in the description of the video. The steps below is assuming that you have succesfully rooted your device and have enabled usb debugging and authorized your pc.
-------------------------
1. Connect your phone to your pc, wait for the drivers to install and once they have installed continue on.
2. Click start and open devices and printers, you should see your device, right-click it and hit properties and then you should see different "devices", choose the one who has a type from SAMSUNG and then up next to the corners you should see 2 options, general and one more, hit the second one and hit properties at the bottom right.
3. It should open a new window, in that window there is and option to change setting, click it then select drivers at the top and hit update.
4. Click choose an update already availible on the computer, then click let me pick and wait.
5. Then there is an option to choose compatible drivers or something like that and make sure it is not ticked! Find a driver from ClockworkMod and to the right you should see android adb interface, click it and hit install after that is complete you should have the adb drivers.
6. Open minimal adb and fastboot that you downloaded and type "adb devices" and wait, it should show your device and you might get a popup window on your phone saying to authorize the pc, hit always trust and hit allow and your device should be seen in adb and it should say device next to the serial number.
7 Turn off your phone.
8. Boot into recovery by pressing power + volume up + home button.
9. Click advanced
10. Click adb sideload and make sure that when you type adb devices in minimal adb and fastboot you should see your device and it should say sideload next to the serial number. If you don't, repeat the steps for installing the drivers just this time do it in adb sideload mode.
11. Once you got the driver working in adb sideload you should press the home button and click wipe, then select advanced wipe and select, dalvik, system, data, internal storage, cache and preload. This will wipe your data!
12. Once that is done go to adb sideload and connect your phone to the pc.
13. Move the downloaded ROM to the minimal adb and fastboot folder adn then in the command line type adb sideload <filename>. DON'T REBOOT!!!
14. Once flash is done it is time to move the google apps to the minimal adb and fastboot, remember, DON'T REBOOT!!
15. Type adb sideload <googelappsfilename>. Wait till it is done and now you can finally reboot.
--------------------
It should boot perfectly, remember, the first time boot might take a lot of time and the device might overheat but just leave it there for a couple of mnutes until it boots.

Put the cyanogenmod rom on the sdcard and the google apps. Assuming you have the recovery I provided here boot into it. Hit install then select storage then select your sdcard. Make sure the files are there and exit out and wipe as I said in the instructions. Make sure not to wipe the micro sdcard. Then install the rom then the google apps.

I am a little confused about this. This is what I have on the sdcard:
cm-11-20160603-UNOFFICIAL-kylepro.zip, TWRP.S7580.tar.md5, HDPI_gapps-kk-20160526-signed.zip.
I have done TWRP.. with Odin, is that what you mean "boot into it"??
"Hit install", where?? Wipe: Shall I "wipe cache partition"??
There is "wipe data/factory reset", but then everything is gone.
Please, can you show me point by point what to do, so I don't brick it all.
You know what, I stumbled across this video and it is basically a full tutorial! Lycka till med ditt flashande!

[Guide][6-6-2017]Bypass Android First Boot Setup Wizard

Hi,
So currently i am staying in a country where Google services aren't possible to access without a VPN which makes it impossible to setup the device for the first time or after flashing a new Rom where you are required to connect to a network to enter your account. Especially after Nougat 7.1.2 and Android O beta the option to setup the device without network has disappeared for me. I have searched online to no avail of how to bypass the setup screen but luckily i found some hints and eventually it worked out. Here is what you need:
Requirements:
* ADB and Fastboot installed on PC or Mac.
* Unlocked Bootloader
* The Latest device TWRP.
* Notepad++
The Process:
* Whether you'r booting your device for the first time or you have flashed a new rom you need to boot to the bootloader by typing "Fastboot reboot bootloader" in Cmd or using the physical keys " Power button + Vol down" or by holding the Vol down and connecting the usb from your device to the PC.
* Launch CMD from Fastboot.exe location folder by clicking Shift + right click and choosing "Open Command window here"
* Enter the Bootloader screen on your device to flash TWRP. Put the TWRP.img you downloaded in the location of fastboot.exe then in CMD Type the following code without quotations: "fastboot flash recovery <filename>.img"
* After flashing TWRP use the hardware keys on your device and select to reboot to the bootloader again, then after booting back select to reboot to recovery. You will enter TWRP after that.
* Mount System in the "mount" section, you will see your device connected to you PC now. Put the SuperSu zip file you downloaded into your device. After that navigate to the install section in TWRP and install SuperSu.
* Now you need to navigate to System/build.prop by using the File browser in TWRP, copy the file to the Sdcard then on your PC using Notepad++ open the build.prop and edit it by adding the following Line without quotations: "ro.setupwizard.mode=DISABLED".
* The next step is to copy back the build.prop edited and replace it with the original one(leave a copy just in case if you want to) in your device, after you do that click the build.prop file make sure to select the left button to set the permissions to default "755".
* That's it reboot your device, you should be able to bypass the wizard and go to the homescreen.

P.S:
* Sorry for making the guide not noob friendly. Noobs you can find tutorials on how to do all the things required here if you google a bit!.
* Regarding the build.prop you can restore the default one you saved(if you did as suggested) using any file browser with root and don't forget to change the permissions to default before you restart the device. Another way is to do it in TWRP as we did earlier.
* I have tested this on Nougat 7.1.2 and Android O DP3 and it worked in both.
* Finally the reason you can't pass the Wifi setup page is because of "Factory Reset Protection", the reason it is enabled is because the device was factory reset before the Google account linked with it was signed out from. Next time you perform a factory reset do yourself a favour and sign out your Google account then do a factory reset, what happens is that next time you start up your device you can set it up without a Google account or wifi like you remember it.
Good Luck :good:
if i need to go through the setup wizard but only have few pages like language selection and owner name for e.g., is it possible?

Basically what this method does is it takes you directly to the home screen bypassing all the setup screens including the ones you mentioned.
Thats alot of work.

That doesn't work on Nougat 7.1.2 and later, or atleast when i tried it. Anyway this method is a last resort for people who have tried every other method.

Which part you don't get?, Please be specific!. I know the tutorial isn't beginners friendly but it's intended that way, you need to have some experience with the tools or flashing process before attempting this. So please before trying this read up on the parts you don't get by googling them or searching XDA.

Failing to install XZDualRecovery Tablet Z2 (due to slow booting?)

I am not sure I should post my problem here, but it seemed approperate to me. If not, please tell me where to post this.
I try to install DualRecovery on my Tablet Z2 (SGP521). Up till step 2 everything is going fine. Deamon is running, device is found and it sends the recovery files. Step 3: creating target sockets.... OK! and then Done!
A lot of x's and then my device is rebooting and the following message:
=============================================
If your device now boots to recovery, reboot
it to system to continue and allow this script
to check and clean up. The script will continue
once your device allows adb connections again.
=============================================
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
But my device takes like 5 minutes to boot. Before my device is completely booted I get the message:
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
=============================================
Unrooted installation failed, please press 1
once the device finished rebooting to retry.
Is the problem the boot time of 5 minutes or is it really failing regardless of the boot time??

You didn't mentioned your firmware version but Dualrecovery ain't compatible with your device latest stock firmwares.

Indeed... The tablet is on Android version 5.0.2; build number 23.1.A.1.28. So it should work, right?

Yes, it should work. After checking that there is no other adb (or Sony) -process runing in the backround try to install it again. Maybe several times.

And does it matter that the bootloader is locked? The service menu says: "Unlocking Bootloader Allowed:NO". Normally it says YES, but the DualRecovery should also work with a locked bootloader, right?
