Goomanager says no recovery found for this device.

Now that we have root, can we edit the build.prop to remove the 'At&t' in the left corner of the notification bar?
Also, changing the 4G/4G LTE icons to the international HSPA/LTE icons?

There is a thread on xda that walks you through how to make twrp for your device. Anyone here able to do it? You have to know what you are doing but it guides you.

Twrp probably won't install even if I build it due to the boot loader being locked.

I know I just was curious to test out the lock status. If anything the other G2 versions should be able to use it.
Shouldn't this be in the development section....
If I can root the VZW version, I'm buying one tomorrow.

Yes I took the plunge and am rooted. Confirmed was able to edit Build.prop to change LCD Density, and also hid Soft Keys.
What you need to do:
I take no credit for the method used here and I'm not responsible to bricks or something going wrong. With that in mind this is what you do.
1. Download and Install the LG United Mobile Drivers: Can be found here: http://d-h.st/EW4
2. Next make sure your ADB is working, on the G2 goto Settings: About Phone: Software Information: Click Build Number 5 times. Go back and choose Development Settings Enable USB Debugging.
3 command prompt and type adb devices, you should see your Serial Number and online.
4 Now that we know ADB is working, download this: http://www.mgyun.com/vroot
5. Yes it is in chinese, install it, then run it while your phone is plugged into your USB port on your PC.
6, The program will do some checks once its finished it will pop a screen that has the model number of the phone LG-D800 and a check mark. Notice the button on the bottom right, it says ROOT with some chinese lettering.
7. Click it and wait, the phone will reboot after a couple minutes. Once it reboots you will be rooted. Also it will install a Chinese language Root Manager. This is temporary.
8. Now we will replace the Chinese binary with an English one. Download superuser by clockworkmod from the play store. Open it and grant root permission (right button when the window pops up in Chinese). Superuser will ask to update the binary, hit install. Now exit by swiping superuser out of recents.
9. Now open titanium backup, install from play store if you don't have it. Find the Chinese root manager app and either uninstall it or freeze it.
10. Next open superuser again and once again install the superuser binary when asked. Reboot. You should now be rooted in English.
11. Optionally you can install Busybox with Busybox installer like I did.

Hello. I am new to forums in general. In fact I made this account just now so I can get some help as I cannot seem to find an answer anywhere.
I am trying to flash clockworkmod to my Galaxy S4. I have successfully rooted with the help of Odin and Motochopper. I downloaded Rom Manager from the playstore and used it to flash(?) CWM 6.0.4.4. When I try to boot into recovery a yellow triangle with an exclamation point appears with the text, "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help." In the top left corner of my screen it also says Secure Fail: Kernel. If I reboot into download mode and press the volume key down, my phone resets and boots up normally. What is going on?
I have tried using these methods but they don't work.

If your rooted. Put the twrp image at the root of your sdcard. Internal storage.use terminal emulator to flash it. The link above in the earlier post will direct you to the twrp site. Choose direct download. But below that it has instructions for how to flash twrp via terminal emulator. I recommend version 2.5.0.2. Not the latest.

Came here to say, just in case someone else cannot follow the steps described by mightycaptain you can flash back to stock and start over. My personal savior is a the VRUAMDK_NoWipe.tar. You can pick it up here: http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-stock-firmware/
NOTE: Flashing back to stock does not always work and can make things worse depending on your situation. USE the forum search function before you flash.:highfive:

I just purchased the Sprint variant of the HTC One Max and decided to unlock the bootloader to root it. I followed the instructions up to the point where I have to have to run the fastboot command in CMD. The example shows the CMD changing its directory to \Android. When I try to do this, I'm given the error: "The system cannot find the path specified." I tried just doing fastboot command, but came back with "fastboot is not recognized..."
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Android SDK, Java Runtime, and HTC Sync are all installed and updated.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the quick reply.
This worked, but when I attempt to run the command for the fastboot I get an error saying "The program can't start because AdbWinApi.dll is missing from your computer."
Was this something that was supposed to be installed from one of the Android SDK installs?

It was in the sdk\platform-tools folder.
Does the command line have to be directed to the folder containing the fastboot application file? Inside said platform-tools folder is the fastboot file as well as the ApbWinApi.dll file.

Yep! Unlocked the bootloader successfully! Now, I'm trying to Root and the instructions I'm following are good, but I'm stuck again - It says to run CMD and use the command "adb devices." It comes back with nothing found, yet, according to the instructions my phone's serial number should be listed. I placed the Superuser.zip file in the phone's storage (per requisite) and tried to run the command with the phone on normally and again in the bootloader.
No luck... Suggestions?
Edit: USB Debugging wasn't on... Trying again...

If you are unlocked you can simply download a custom recovery for your phone into your fastboot directory and boot your phone to boot loader (fastboot) mode. Flash your recovery using your appropriate fastboot command. Then boot to your new custom recovery and flash the su.zip you copied to the phone from recovery.

Would that solve my next problem? (I'm such a sputz)
I'm rooted, but I can't uninstall anything with Titanium Backup. The last time this happened on my S3 I was told to install SuperSU and install updated binaries. I did that, but when I reboot and go back into SuoerSU it acymts as if it never happened. Apps I uninstalled are still present, too.
Would S-offing solve this?
Edit: Also, I get an annoying pop-up when I start the phone up that says vDN client has failed. Even before I unlocked and rooted. Any way to stop this?

You need to flash an insecure boot.img to disable system write protection. S-off would allow you to recover your phone using both signed and unsigned ruu. The advantage of that is when you hose your phone and there's not a current ruu for the version your phone is on - s-on user would be screwed because you cannot downgrade. Just one of many reasons.
The fc problem I'm not sure. If you aren't using that app you can disable it in the stock app manager. Same goes for stuff you might normally remove with tibu. Be warned too that future otas will likely fail if system apps are missing.

i have noticed someelse posting about the vDN client failing.. it your providers bloatware if i remember correctly and i think @dottat has a good suggestion! disabled it
So I somehow lost root privileges... After S-offing, I was asked to update the SU binary through the Superuser app (not SuperSU) and I did so. When the install finished, I went into Titanium Backup and was told I'm not rooted.
Went back into Superuser and it didn't prompt for an update, but SuperSU did. Attempted and failed.
Went into recovery and tried to recover root - no luck.
HALP!

Don't use Superuser by ChainsDD anymore.. Personally I would love to continue to use it but he is basically no longer supporting his Superuser app and binary and hasn't updated it in a very long time. SuperSU by Chainfire is constantly being updated therefore made to work with all current versions of Android.. Quite frankly it's all the same basically anyways I just liked the skull and cross bone look lol... Chainfire is a monster as well and has a ton of root related apps and cool things going on. ChainsDD I guess passed the torch on to Chainfire???

Is someone screwing with me? I am late to the Note 3 party, picking one up yesterday. Not going to activate unless I can root. I have searched high and low for 1.1.6, have found everything but that version. Is there something specific I should search for, a hint within the forum rules? Thanks! I tried VRoot after getting frustrated and it failed.

I looked at the Forum rules and didn't see anything against posting the link, so here it is:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gm2zkk1j5e6jbg4/KingoAndroidROOTv116.exe\
This is the Afterdawn Kingo 1.1.6 installer. It will give you 3 options trying to install AVG as your antivirus. Make sure you uncheck those boxes. After you download the file choose open to install. It's easy to figure out after that. If you need help with it post back.

Ok i got this link from someone earlier, mid rooting it messed up my screen where it will not recognize touch unless i used s-pen. Couldnt find a fix for it, top of the screen worked but bottom portion would not respond to touch. I ended up unrooting and formatting twice and it mysteriously started working normal again.

Sorry to hear that. This is the same file I used. Nothing happened to mine. I did see on the forums someone else say their phone bottom half stopped responding to touch. I believe he said he took the battery out at night and the next morning put it back in and it worked again.

ok.... lot of things happening.... kingroot says i am rooted... step 2 didnt work but after keep trying it worked once and said successful but it didnt reboot to recovery....
then even the root checker says "Root access is not properly installed...." :crying:
what are my options all my data is backed up.......
:crying:
ok now i went ahead and used the flashtool to flash 5.0.2 ftf that i made from downloading the files using XperiFirm.
Its booting up right now and this will hopefully get me back to where i was before...
After this I rooted using the Kingroot app version available in english in the XDA forum (plz search for it.. sorry i didnt save the link).
Now i am rooted with Kinguser as the superuser app
Same here
No recoveries were injected but rooted
At least we are rooted on stock lollipop... thats the good part... i have restored my titanium backups no issues.... i am rolling......
but can we trust the kinguser as the superuser app?
Do I need to unlock bootloader before do this?

No you don't, it can be used for locked bootloader. You only can used root access by kinguser not SuperSU and because it stuck on step 1, you won't have the recovery on your device.
ok Guys I'm good at rooting T mobile phones using odin but this is my FIRST Verizon phone, so I need a little assistance here since I have read about 50 different ways to root it and 50 ways that don't work
My os is Android 5.0.1
Baseband I454VRUGOC1
Kernel 3.4.0
[email protected]#1
build LRX22C.I545VRUGOC1
Hardware is I545.06
I'm not trying to get a new rom but I would liek TWPR recovery so I can make a complete backup just in case, and I need to remove eth battery eating bloatware
whats eth best way to make a permanent rook on this thing, I'm running Straight talk if that info is needed also
I need step by step designed for an old man LOL
King root from a pc. Then search for supersume or Uninstall kinguser and install supersu via the terminal method. The latter is the cleaner way and paves the way for stang5litre edition rom.
You'll need flash fire. No twrp on TouchWiz lolliopop.
---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------
BTW after obtaining root, install titanium backup and freeze or Uninstall sdm. That's the over the air updater that breaks root.
Kingroot doens' work on this one. I tried and it failed.
With king root you might to try a few times. I tried 5 or 6 times before it worked for me. Keep trying.

http://www.kingroot.net/ is the official kingroot site. the installer and program for desktop was all in Chinese the last time i checked. remember to turn on USB debugging when you do it. it's basically plug in let it detect your phone, allow computer to do debugging and click a button for it to complete root.
from another thread one person had a some problems rooting with kingroot, if the following happens, you should uninstall kingroot and restart comp before trying again as some people mentioned that just turning the program off doesn't completely reset it

Hi, I'm having issues with step 5. There isn't any green button that comes up. The first time I run the kingroot after reinstalling it, it shows just a blue button after thinking for several seconds.
(I can't figure out how to attach an image to my post, and apperently links aren't allowed either...) i.imgur.com/8BilQtT.png
After clicking the blue button, it goes to this screen: i.imgur.com/wScf2TT.png
There's a checkmark there, but my phone is not rooted. It did install KrHelper4Pc to my phone though.
Subsequent runs of kingroot (without reinstalling) show this after thinking for several seconds: i.imgur.com/HVmqOLm.png
I've tried this several times and the exact same thing happens each time.

Me, being the silly person I am decided to take a look at what those words could mean using limited knowledge of Chinese Characters and google trans here are the trans that google spat out of each phrase

No root program, Zhe not adaptation

It was submitted seeking adaptation made

Submit
So I'm guessing the first pic, after detecting your phone, stated that there was it could not find a way to root
and the blue button only was you sending a submission request to developers to find a way to root it
Pic2
(check) 已收 到适配 请求
Adaptation request has been received
confirmation for the request you sent to developers
Pic 3
无root方案 已收 到适配 请求
No root adaptation program has received a request
its restating the first part and that you already sent a request
