have u heard anything on a custom recovery?
I am so new to this, and in the process of moving some of my pictures to my pc, my folder "Camera" just disappeared. I was dragging specific files over and poof it was gone. I have now spent hours trying to find a program to "undelete" or recover these pics, (((btw iRoot installed onto my PC and them plugged my phone in put SEVERAL apps on my phone without asking permission))) I am now in the process of trying FonePaw Android Data Recovery, but I need to get it rooted. I have version 5.1.1, and I have not had success rooting it. Does this post say that I cannot root it? WAAAAHHHH!!!
Can someone reup the links? They're down. I'd like to root my S6 Active, but can't find the files anywhere but here.
dropfile(dot)to/5Gboiih
dropfile(dot)to/bzMkKJy
dropfile(dot)to/bGUAOGr
File expired
Here is the copy
https://yadi.sk/d/X_hrqvTItZCHP
The most important file is g809ahybridrecovery.tar . I wonder if it's possible to unlock bootloader with it and leave it unlocked... Don't have the phone myself yet.
Did somebody actually try it? Included instruction is a bit unclear about the mechanism itself -
1. Boot hybrid recovery
2. ADB push install-su archive and run it
3. After all - flush included stock firmware - seriously?
Need help
So I followed the included instructions, but Odin got stuck for several hours. Does anyone know how long it's supposed to take to flash the files?
Anyway, I'm not sure what to do with the G890A.zip after I've followed the rest of the instructions either, nor do I know what
3.Connect to PC and open the FIX_ROOT and run it.
4.Verify root, and do any unlock, IMEI CERT READ/WRITE
means.
Sorry for being such a N00B, but if someone could straighten me out on how to do this, I'd appreciate it.

I'm trying to root from 5.0.2 but the instructions provided in the download are unclear to me given the included files.
Is the "G890AUCU3AOK2 Combination File" it refers to the file called G890AhybridRecovery.tar in the folder? Would I flash that with Odin? And is "FIX_ROOT" the "G890ArootScript" file?
Thanks guys

There are multiple ways to root, here are some:
1: unlock your bootloader, install a stock kernel with recovery and flash the latest super su
2: downgrade to 4.2.2, use easy rooting method and upgrade ota
thanks, where can I find stock kernel with recovery and flash the latest super su,

I am as clueless as you! Although I have spent a long time browsing the large amount of information here (and thanks to all who have supplied it), it seems more complicated to root my Xperia Z 4.4.2 than it was to root my old Xperia Ray and my new Samsung Tab 8.4 LTE. I am getting too old for this lark! I only want unrestricted write access to the sdcard following the Jellybean to KitKat 'up'grade.

Hmm. And yet another thread here seems to offer a rooted 4.4.2 without unlocked bootloader. Unfortunately, I need to read a lot more before I can understand what the instructions mean! In the meantime, I have found out about DRM and the TA partition and I am wary of unlocking the BL.

I recently got this phone repaired from LG and I just got it back, only problem is that I can't root this device no thanks to that recent system update used to fixed my phone. I tried towelroot that obviously didn't work, so I tried purpledrake that didn't work when the phone went to recovery All I saw was a blank black image that's it, and up top of that my Google play music app keeps silently closing out especially when I turn the screen off, can't really play too many games especially Asphalt airborne it force closes, and when I try to move my apps to the SD card most of the time it doesn't even work........ Please help with this!! Please I'm losing my mind over this man.
Same
Im having the same problem! It sucks butt!!
Waiting for a new method, i've tried all known ones with no luck, towelroot, towelpieroot, root master, stump root, z4, purpledrake, weak sauce and so on, no luck seems all known exploits have been patched, the only thing you can do at the moment is downgrade to d41510c the root like always, would do it my self as there were no major changes in the update but waiting to get access to a pc.
Edit: sorry the only method i mention i haven't tried is purpledrake as you need a pc for it but so far eveyone has said it doesn't work.

The only method at the moment is use the lg flash tool and downgrade to d41510c then root with towelroot as usual, on d41510e currently there is no method, the whole update was an exploit fix and pretty much thats all it did for us was fix any known exploits we use. I've been following threads for other devices because they have bounties for an exploit and root method but they're still working at it, alot of the samsung devices got locked up as well. A major change in android L which they got was major exploit fixes, pretty sure that where this whole lg update idea cane from, just we didnt get android 5.0.
Same goes for nexus devices which got the update first, currently they have to root by flashing a modified kernel. I follow the verizon note 4 thread, they have a bounty for an exploit and root method, hope it may help us. Chances are it may not though.
Also nexus and some note 4s use the cf-auto-root method which auto matically flashes and roots for them, that method is device spacific to file needed to download to use it, and requires a pc.

Yes works for t-mobile, have t-mobile my s elf but no cant upgrade again, until some one releases a rooted version of v0e have to stay on v10c. Heres a method to get knock code while still on v10c. That is really the only change between the to besides the root patch fixes.
They have released the source for d410 so hopefully we should be looking at a lollipop upgrade for d415 some time in the future, hoping sooner than later. Till then i wouldnt worry about the upgrade to v10e.

Depend which kdz, uf you use the v10e kdz you cant root. Have to use the v10c kdz to root. Knock on code is a new lock screen method implemented in the v10e update, its not necessary just a mod put together for people who want it while staying on v10c so they can root. It alot like tap to wake you use a series of taps, 4 to 8 in a square box thats devided into 4 sections, i prefer it because unlike other lock screen methods you can use it while screen is off like double tap and it just opens to yur home screen. I alsi think its more secure than some other methods.

If your bootloader is not already unlocked (which is the case for the L90s with the most recent update apparently), after rooting, follow the information found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-t-mobile-l90-t2836457
Make sure you follow the steps explicitly.

Why do you need a unlocked bootloader? I didn't install TWRP because I just wanted some modifications.... but I'm sure there's twrp for this device!
Enjoy!!
The only real reason to unlock the bootloader and install cwm or twrp is to have a full backup...just in case. Also,for when they start making more ROMs for this device.

The file is ready for Download and I added more description to the OP.
To answer the question it is a 100% ODIN Full Stock Firmware. You will need to root and install recovery if you want root access.
I haven't installed this yet so I'm unsure of what root method works. I will post more info and I get it. OZOP 5.1.1 will follow soon as well!!
Can you make it flashable via TWRP, please?
As far as I know we do not have a root method yet. Chainfire was waiting until the official release to update auto root. Hopefully soon...
I'm at work and i'm trying to update this as painlessly and quickly as possibly. Can i simply use odin to flash this over my rooted s6? I'm not using a custom rom, just rooted with pingpongroot. I dont really care that i cant root again right away i just want to make sure i wont brick my phone by flashing this over stock rooted.
No root, and make sure people know they CANNOT downgrade to 5.0.2 after using this method.

The autoroot zip is from three months ago. I'm pretty sure that blog post contains a link to the original S6 root. I would advise against attempting to use it. There's a high possibility it'll result in a bootloop, or possibly a bricked phone.

The download filename is G900AUCU3BOC4_OneClick.zip.
Could you expand your OP page to explain what the file is?
Is it an ODIN flash? Is it an executable like the filename suggests?
Good stuff, it will probably prove useful in the future, but 1.5G download without a description, makes me curious.
OC4 Flashing
Has anyone found luck with flashing G900AUCU3BOC4 with the file in OP? (I downloaded the file and I have the executable open right now but I don't want to take any risks flashing this firmware).
More info please

Confirmed Working
Thank you very much for posting this. I had soft-bricked my brand new GS5 not 2 days into owning it trying to downgrade/root without reading anything in the forums. i ended up having to get a replacement but it has not arrived yet and i still have the one that used to be bricked until i downloaded the file, put the phone into ODIN Mode and ran the application. I'm a little mad at myself for not finding this sooner but happy that this exists just in case anything happens like i previously stated.
Thanks this fixed my bricked S5 that I botched the lollipop update on! This should probably be uploaded to a mirror and added to a couple help threads. Sweet man thanks!
Works
Created an account just to post that this file worked. I soft bricked my phone and tried a few roms without luck before finding this one. Threw my phone into Recovery Mode and ran the application and now my phone is up and running again on 5.0. Awesome!
Is this the stock OC4 OTA update to 5.0? If so, users that use this file wont be able to downgrade back to 4.4.2 as said here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3076803

Is it possible to pre-root the rom here posted?
Thanks.

If it's Stock OC4 received by OTA, then no. Go here if you're on 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3076803 pre-rooted too.

Theres no method as of today to root Stock OC4 as the bootloader is locked. Try some Google searches? It doesn't hurt! [emoji1]

I've also softbricked my phone trying to downgrade to kitkat from lollipop. I tried to use Kies and Smart Switch but no luck. I tried talking to Samsung and they said "You have to send it in". Crazy that software can get so screwed up with no recovery.
My phone's not under warranty so I'm trying to do it myself. Serves me right for not rooting it when I was on kitkat and then getting the OTA of Lollipop.
If anyone can even steer me towards a forum that I can get some suggestions to recover this mess, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
I can upload the tar that worked for me when I get home

THHHHAAAAAAAANKKKSSSSSSS!!!! you save my life bro!!! you're the best!!! it's work for my!!! really thanks dude!
It worked +rep +rep +rep you sir are amazing, i have spent so much time on so many different methods none of them worked until this one. If anyone has a softbricked s5 on lolipop 5.0, this is the way to fix it
Hello XDA,
I have a G890A on 5.1.1, and was wondering if anyone on 5.0.2 could tell me if their '/data/' folder is or is not read-protected. I've been looking at a possible root opportunity but it requires that folder to be readable.
Thanks!
-PeregrineX
I have a G890A running 5.0.2 with build lrx22g.g890aucu2aof4
Using explorer (root explorer without the root), the /data/ folder has the permissions of rwxrwx--x
UPDATE: The exploit I'm using requires the file '/data/local/tmp/fifo_dat' to be writable by a non-root user, which it is (somehow).
We might just be able to get this exploit working on the G890A!
BTW, if you want to help, search up the sensord exploit, and msg me!
the exploit doesnt work for me (i have 5.0.2), at first step it says "it looks likey is not vurneable". i dont think that fifo_dat or fifo_cmd is r or w without root. (it can not be when the whole /data folder is --x no?)
i have the same device with 5.0.2, what i have to do sir?
What's next? There must be a way!
Any news about this??
EDIT: delete post, wrong thread

Hey, any progress?
My S6 Active is on Android 5.0.2 Build LRX22G.G890AUCU1AOE9 and see same permissions as eurosport360 : rwxrwx--x for /data/ using same Root Explorer app with no root (obviously).
I am also about to follow this post by lirex to manually update, so please let me know if you need my help on 5.0.2 ASAP or I will be upgrading.

Hey hows this coming? I have an active and I've been poking around with it while building Lineage for some older devices and trying to find bootloader exploits.... But now I'm really focused on the Active.
Well if the permissions are RWXRWX--X, what is the owner and group? Isn't the shell user part of the system group to a degree?
