I recently started playing pokemon go and I am getting really frustrated while playing because it lags soo much and my phone is generally quite slow now. I have been told rooting and installing a good ROM can help with this and I have never attempted this, could someone please explain what rooting and ROMs are and their benefits and a how to guide for this phone and also the best ROM?
I know there are loads of threads on this but if someone could link me best threads I would be eternally gratefull!!
First of all, which variant of LG L90 is your phone (D4xx)? And could you go to Menu > General > About Phone > Software Information and tell me your "version" (v10x or v20x)?
Root is the ability for the user to take total control of his phone, from doing as little as automate 3G activation when an app is open to instaling custom ROMs, which are custom firmwares that you can install in your device, just like the stock one you're currently in, but with some modifications made by its creators. As for advantages, with root you have more freedom over your device, and with Custom ROMs you have some tweaks, which change depending on the ROM you choose to install, going from just porting newer firmwares to older devices to being an entire new OS (Operational System, in case you don't know).

Thank you soo much for your reply and sorry about my late reply. My variant is LG-D405n and software version is V20c-234-30. I think I understand what Root and ROM is thx.
So could you link me to the best method to root and install ROM on my phone?
And what is the best ROM for my device to free up the RAM and CPU used on my device to increase my phone speed?
First of all, install these required apps:
http://king.myapp.com/myapp/kdown/img/NewKingrootV4.9.6_C151_B309_en_release_2016_08_18_105203.apk (For rooting)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify (For flashing the Custom Recovery)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm (For terminal emulation)
Custom Recovery:
TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=18679&task=get
Personally recommended Custom ROM, CyanogenMod (Ports Android updates to older phones plus some tweaks) and Gapps (Google Apps, it's needed to have things like calculator, play store, etc):
CM13: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/175208/cm-13.0-20160820-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO0J8-w7.zip
Gapps: http://opengapps.org/ (Go to this link, select ARM in platform, 6.0 in android and Nano in variant, then just click the download image button)
Put the TWRP img, the CM13 rom img and gapps on microSD or internal storage. Open Kingroot and click on the green button after the 3 introduction images. After a few minutes, your device will be rooted. Grab this file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...0w7xxshoxx-t2826150/post54358527#post54358527 (D405n_v20a_patched_aboot, don't worry, it's okay if you flash a different software version aboot as long as it's the same device as yours. The only "problem" you can have is to have your software version changed to v20c, which if I remember correctly, can be fixed using Bootstacks), transfer it to your phone and open Terminal Emulator. Then input the following commands:
su
dd if=(aboot.bin storage directory) of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot
Then, go to flashify and flash your custom recovery image (TWRP or CWM) in the flash recovery img option. After this, reboot into recovery by pressing Volume Down + Power and when you see the LG Logo, let go of the Power button and press it again. Then select yes two times with the volume keys for selection and power button to actually select the options (Don't worry, your device won't be factory resetted if you successfully installed custom recovery). Then, if you want, make a backup of your entire phone (recommended, just in case something goes wrong or if you just want your apps back when the process is done) in the Backup section and then do a factory reset through the Wipe option (Don't select anything, just swipe the bar). Select the Install option and select your ROM zip. After this, do the same process as the ROM installation but this time with Gapps zip. There you go, now you have CM13 installed. If you want root again, you don't have to install Kingroot again this time, as CM13 has built-in root, just enable Developer options and activate root and you're ready to go. Also, if you want the apps you had before the installation, just restore your backup (ONLY THE DATA PARTITION, otherwise CM13 will be uninstalled and replaced with stock ROM). If something goes wrong and you accidentally brick your device, just reply and I'll help you fix it. (If helped, click the Thanks! button)

You have to change "(aboot.bin storage directory) with the directory in which aboot.bin is stored. And no, you don't need SuperSU, when you use the su command, a KingRoot window will open, just say yes.
EDIT: Wahay! It works! Thank you soo much for your help!

If it's the menu button, I don't know of any way to change them, as Android updates change them. For example, my phone in KitKat used the home button for recent apps, in Lollipop it used the menu button for recent apps, and when I installed CM13, it used the home button again.

First of all, you don't need to use that TWRP build, you can use the latest one. To fix the only errors that should appear (Updater error 7 and 6), delete the first lines of updater-script until you reach the ui_print part (the first line of your file should be "ui_print("Target: 1471683591");"). Also, delete any double spaces that exist (there should be two, one before "abort" at line 27 and the other before "abort" at line 30). If it still gives the same error, try wiping Cache, data, system and dalvik-cache partitions, try to install the ROM, it'll give the error. Now, reboot your phone and try to install without wiping anything. (To properly see the line indications, open the file using Notepad++)

I thought it might be useful to put all the info into one thread.
I hope it's completely needless to say that I don't take any credit, since I haven't contributed anything to make that possible
This guide is for rooting your CURRENTLY installed firmware, flashing custom roms, or if you want to upgrade to Gingerbread
If you are NOT S-OFF yet, you either need to get / use an XTC Clip, or use a software exploit / hack (AlpharevX).
The basic differences between both approaches are the following:
AlpharevX:
"Software" S-OFF using an exploit
Bootloader S-OFF
It will flash a hacked HBOOT that sets your device S-OFF.
If you flash an unmodified RUU, or anything that replaces this HBOOT, you will lose S-OFF
-> Not a problem if you stay with custom roms!
Completely free and great solution!
XTC Clip:
Complete "hardware" S-OFF
All locks removed including sim and cid lock.
Permanent solution (radio S-OFF)
-> You can flash anything and won't lose S-OFF
Costs money, or you need to find someone that owns a Clip to do this for you
UPDATE:
Hawkysoft posted about a rare occurrence that has been reported after using AlpharevX:
If you get a security warning in hboot, you will need an XTC Clip to get you running again!
Of course you might also send your phone to repair, but you'll most likely need to pay for that.
So if you experience this problem, either get someone with an XTC Clip to help you out, or buy an "XTC Clip Pay as you go", which is a very cheap variant that comes only with one use (rechargeable) and costs around 30USD.
See the following tutorial to set your device S-OFF with AlpharevX: GUIDE -> S-OFF
And pause at the point where you should install CWMR (ClockworkMod Recovery) to consider the following options:
Do you want to switch to a custom rom after S-OFF?
-> continue with the guide above installing CWMR
Do you want to keep your official firmware and replace your official recovery with CWMR?
--> continue with the guide above installing CWMR,
but before you install a custom rom, make a backup of your current firmware in CWMR!
Do you want to keep your orig firmware AND the official recovery?
--> don't continue with the guide above and follow this guide instead
Be it Froyo or Gingerbread doesn't matter.
If you insist you only want to root your Froyo rom and not upgrade to Gingerbread immediately, please scroll further down.
A rooted Froyo rom is NOT necessary for flashing and afterwards rooting Gingerbread!
If you need further details about flashing custom roms just scroll down.
If you haven't done so already (you didn't get an OTA or you didn't do it manually yet) and you want to upgrade to Gingerbread, here's a short guide on how to flash it first..
How to install the Gingerbread update
download one of the Gingerbread Roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922
This link is for the Incredible S only of course, but the following works also for the Desire S, but then please use a rom for your phone
ATTENTION: If you are NOT S-OFF yet and you are planning to using AlpharevX, you MUST use an ruu compatible with AlpharevX! Check that first!
start the RUU installer
[*]go into your tmp folder to get rom.zip from the extracted files of the RUU installer:
Access the tmp folder by clicking on start/run and put %tmp% into the textbox. Or for windows 7 put this into this search textbox in the "start menu"
Look for the most recent folder (sort by date). In that folder look for rom.zip or simply do a search.
After acquiring rom.zip from your tmp folder you can exit the RUU installer
[*]Put rom.zip onto your sdcard and name it PG32IMG.zip.
boot into the bootloader.. (press and hold vol.down + press power) it will automatically start to install it and ask you if you want to proceed.
After a reboot remove PG32IMG.zip from your sdcard (otherwise it would ask you to reinstall the update each time you boot into the bootloader)
use morelocales2 from the market if you need additional languages
finished. Now follow the steps below for rooting the fw
Guide below partly out of date!
It works, but there are easier methods available now.Work in progress
What you need if you want to root your Gingerbread rom:
an incredible S / Desire S that is S-OFF
Gingerbreak OR SuperOneClick newest version
Busybox
UPDATE:
Some users reported that they weren't able to root using SuperOneClick or Gingerbreak.apk no matter what they tried.
After I reflashed my IS I also run into problems. Although it's not unusual that it doesn't work the 1st time, I decided to do it manually.
I have attached a zip with all the files needed and a script that you could try which does everything for you.
It doesn't do any magic or different than SuperOneClick, but if you do it this way you get to see what's actually happening and if it fails and where / why.
When using this you also don't need to reboot between the tries, reinserting / remounting your sdcard is sufficient.
Please report any bugs.
How to use:
make sure usb debugging is enabled
make a backup of your sdcard's content or use another fat32 formatted sdcard where you don't care to possibly lose its content.
download the zip file: View attachment 596033
extract the zip and open a shell/command prompt and change into that directoy
on Linux start runexploit.sh, on Windows start runexploit.cmd
if Gingerbreak doesn't finish and you ONLY get to see lots of "sendmsg() failed?" without any other messages in between, you should try any of the following options:
hit ctrl + c to abort, unmount / remount your sdcard and start over. It could take a few tries
Doublecheese reported it took him 8-9x
WHILE Gingerbreak is running and printing "sendmsg() failed?" forever, pull and take out your SDcard completely and reinsert it
this worked well for vontdeux, jkolner and me
Thanks to Vontdeux, Doublecheese, jkolner and everyone else afterwards for the feedback!
now, after you see '#', you can hit ctrl + c or close the shell
run root.sh on Linux or root.cmd on Windows from the same directory. This will install su, SuperUser.apk and busybox
when it's finished you're done and have root
then it's very recommended to get "rom manager" from the market, open it and install clockworkmod recovery for installing custom roms, backing up your system et.c.

Big thanks to Chainfire for GingerBreak and CLShortFuse for SuperOneClick!
SuperOneClick: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
OR Gingerbreak: get the latest version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
Busybox installer: https://market.android.com/details?id=stericson.busybox
Steps:
make sure usb debugging is enabled
make a backup of your sdcard's content or use another fat32 formatted sdcard where you don't care to possibly lose its content.
use the latest SuperOneClick which might be easier.
start the application and select "GingerBreak" as exploit.
But respect the info and warning of the creator of the Gingerbreak.apk:
Chainfire said:
WARNING: Apparently on some devices the root exploit causes the SD card (internal or external) to be formatted. Also, if it gets stuck but you do see the card mounting/unmounting, try formatting your SD card yourself and try again (or use a different SD card) often this works (a fix for both issues is being looked at)

click root check Chainfire's post if you run into problems (also with SuperOneClick because it uses his exploit): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13086954#post13086954
after it's finished your phone will reboot and you're essentially done.
Alternatively, don't use SuperOneClick but follow the guide of Chainfire from the beginning to install Gingerbreak on your device and root your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13086954#post13086954
(optional) get the busybox installer mentioned above, start the application and install/update your busybox installation.
(optional, but highly recommended) Now for the ultimate pleasure get Rom Manager from the market and use it to install a "custom recovery": ClockWorkMod Recovery
What you need if you want to root your Froyo rom:
an Incredible S / Desire S that is S-OFF
SuperOneClick newest version
(optional, but highly recommended) Busybox installer app
Files:
Update: apparently the current SuperUser app is crashing for some users.
If you experience these problems see the next section
Big thanks to CLShortFuse for SuperOneClick!
SuperOneClick:: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Busybox installer: https://market.android.com/details?id=stericson.busybox
Steps:
use the latest SuperOneClick
start the application and select "psneuter" as exploit.
click root
after it's finished you might need to reboot for getting Superuser app to pop up when needed.
(optional) get the busybox installer mentioned above, start the application and install/update your busybox installation.
(optional, but highly recommended) Now for the ultimate pleasure get Rom Manager from the market and use it to install a "custom recovery": ClockWorkMod Recovery
So how to flash custom roms?:
it's extremely easy
put your favorite custom rom onto your sdcard
install rom manager if you haven't done so already
open rom manager and click "install ClockworkMod Recovery
next click "install rom from sdcard"
select your custom rom you put on your sdcard
select to backup your currently installed rom just in case you want to revert back
Most of the time you also need to check wipe cache and data (follow the instructions of the creator of that custom rom to find out if you need to do that or not. If you wipe your data, all your current settings will be lost however so make a backup!)
wiping Dalvik Cache is always a good idea and won't harm your settings
after pressing ok, Rom manager will boot into Recovery, backup your current rom (if you told it to), wipe (if you told it to), install the custom rom and reboot
Solution for SuperUser crashing:
All thanks go to rmk40 who patched SuperUser for us running newer versions of Sense:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886999
rmk40 said:
The latest official build of Superuser does not work with newer Sense ROMs (such as Vision 1.72+, anything released recently). HTC has started utilizing a relatively new feature of sqlite; a journaling mode called WAL (write-ahead logging). It's actually smart. WAL journaling should improve sqlite throughput, which represents a large amount of Android's IO and benefits applications across the board. The downside is it broke Superuser because it's actually special in its' use of sqlite.

How to install the patched version
Update 5/14: Fixed a serious bug in the replace_su script that made it pretty much useless
If you didn't root your phone yet
You might want to patch SuperOneClick before using it the first time.
Either download the patched su and SuperUser.apk, or just use the already patched version of SuperOneClick attached to this post. View attachment 591017
If you already rooted your phone:
Usually the first app requesting root access does work with the unpatched version, so you can use this to gain root access on the shell to replace SuperUser and su with the patched versions. If SuperUser doesn't pop up, open Superuser and remove all apps you already whitelisted for su access and try again
To keep it simple, I have attached an archive with a script to do this for you: View attachment 595753
make sure USB Debugging is enabled (in settings/apps/development)
extract replace_su.zip on your windows or linux pc
open a terminal and change into that directory
on windows run replace_su.cmd, on linux run replace_su.sh
the script needs root access so you need to press allow when SuperUser pops up on the phone
If you already installed a custom recovery and want to do it that way:
Just download rmk40's flashable zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886999
put it onto your sdcard
reboot into recovery by starting rom manager and selecting reboot into recovery
if this doesn't work because SuperUser fc, shutdown your phone completely (fast boot disabled in settings/power). Press and hold vol-down and press power. From the bootloader menu: select "recovery"
use ClockworkMod to flash the zip. "install/flash zip from sdcard.."
you can also just replace those files (SuperUser.apk and su) in your SuperOneClick directory and then re-run SuperOneClick.
Here's the "patched" SuperOneClick View attachment 591017
Update 5/14: Fixed an error in the replace_su script.
Update 5/10: updated because of a request to re-add the Froyo rooting info
Update 5/09: updated because of SuperUser crashing issue
Update 4/27: updated due to new version of SuperOneClick now supporting Gingerbreak
Update 4/26: updated because of Gingerbreak, which makes this much shorter and easier. Thanks very much Chainfire for all the hard work!
Update 4/24: thanks very much to Hawkysoft for pointing out that psneuter doesn't work for Gingerbread and further instructions)
So if you are already gingerbreaded, please scroll down

well if u use stock rom and rooted that one, you will get notified that there is an update, but im not totaly sure if it installs (especially when u use custom recovery, than its a nogo)

Thanks, so if it doesn't work you'd need to reflash the original recovery first..
If you do it you will fail and end flashin a standard rom with hboot xD
Been there.... Better first update than flash the recovery or you will be busy for a few ^^

Ahh thanks for the warning
Since the custom recovery is installed already anyway when there's an OTA update available, wouldn't the following work?
If I get notified about an available OTA update, I could flash a complete RUU, then get the OTA and afterwards re root + reflash the custom recovery?
Newbies question: if you just want root in order to use i.e. titanium I suppose you don't need to install PG32IMG right?

Correct. Its only needed to flash custom roms.
Sorry for newb question... What does S-OFF mean?
Read the rooting topic in the dev section,
But to make it easy for you: S-OFF means Security Off.
Which allows us to (over)write system files

There is another recovery available from GOAPK with Reboot function that works.
can you confirm that it fully works with backin up and restoring?
since the current one failes at restoring
;p
testing it...
first try to backup FAIL <- Error while generating md5 sum!
second time as well this is a major failing recovery
I am going to try porting clockwork myself from scratch tonight
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using Tapatalk
With this recovery in the first post, I had an error at the time of restoration, with the one I posted, an error of md5 sum, but with the tutorial as an attachment, the worries of md5 sum is adjusted by 5 minutes
So I can now restore quietly after each crash, as I try to adapt a framework-res.apk to my Incredible S
Just at it now
creating md5 sums failed.. restore of course also failes..
I just restored a previously created backup with the one from llnhhy successfully
So we have a recovery that has all the functions, but has trouble creating md5 sum, and another that did not have the reboot function with a problem of restore, by mixing the two should do it .. .

@shem2409 created a nice youtube video guide to assist you in your work, be sure to check this post for it! Thanks m8!
In the following guide I suggest you use an external SDCard but that's just good practice, you can use your internal storage or even an USB OTG storage device in TWRP if you like to install, that's no problem!... If you are modding and the likes, best is to have an external sdcard, just for safeties sake.
C6602: How to update to 10.3.A.0.423:
NOTE: STICK TO THIS ORDER AND STEPS!!
For C6602: Download C6602.flashable.423.zip (Bittorrent: 686MB) and C6602_10.3.A.0.423-stripped.ftf (15MB), save it somewhere you remember;
Put 'C6602.flashable.423.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;
Put 'C6602_10.3.A.0.423-stripped.ftf' inside the Flashtool/firmwares folder;
Create a backup of your phone in CWM or TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard0';
Flash 'C6602.flashable.423.zip' in TWRP, do not reboot but go back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off;
Flash everything in 'C6602_10.3.A.0.423-stripped.ftf';
Reboot to system without clearing (dalvik-/)cache.
C6603: How to update to 10.3.A.0.423:
NOTE: STICK TO THIS ORDER AND STEPS!!
For C6603: Download C6603.flashable.423.zip (Bittorrent: 719MB) and C6603_10.3.A.0.423-stripped.ftf (15MB), save it somewhere you remember;
Put 'C6603.flashable.423.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;
Put 'C6603_10.3.A.0.423-stripped.ftf' inside the Flashtool/firmwares folder;
Create a backup of your phone in CWM or TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard0';
Flash 'C6603.flashable.423.zip' in TWRP, do not reboot but go back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off;
Flash everything in 'C6603_10.3.A.0.423-stripped.ftf';
Reboot to system without clearing (dalvik-/)cache.
The first boot will be considerably slower and after a long wait at the boot animation you will see Android optimizing the apps on your phone.
After updating your NFC firmware and some update information has been displayed, all is done!
I have done this myself, using my own method and I have not found any problem yet, again! :fingers-crossed:
Enjoy! :victory:
Known XZDualRecovery Issues:
TWRP Usage warning: It seems TWRP 2.5.0.0 has issues with the internal storage, which seem related to the changes made to support encrypted storage volumes... This means the internal storage sometimes shows up almost empty (just folders) and no files. Try to use CWM when that happens.
Busybox Updater/Installer: If you have XZDualRecovery installed, un-install any Busybox updating app/tool as most if not all of them will install a version of busybox which does not support the lzma compression applets XZDualRecovery depends on. The version installed together with XZDualRecovery is very stable and I have yet to hear anyone complain about it's stability.
How to report errors:
Please, before shouting out "It doesn't work!!1!" or "I lost root!" or even "My phone reboots when remounting /system RW!!" try the following:
Restore a /system ONLY using any means you are familiar with so you can try again.
Root it using [Z][ROOT] DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit.
Install XZDualRecovery and then try to update again using TWRP. This time you can skip the FTF as it has already done it's job.
If it still fails something from there on: LOGS!!.
NOTE: The important ones can be found in /cache/recovery and in /tmp/XZDualRecovery, pack them up and send them to me.
Thank you
Flashable ROM Mutator:
Download AROMA ROM Mutator 0.14
This (former patch package) uses AROMA to create a user friendly menu to choose between updates to be installed.
If you want to switch from SuperSU (default in this ROM) to SuperUser (Be careful, SuperUser is incompatible with 4.2.2!) you can use this to make the change.
If you have the reboot problem when trying to remount /system writable, you can reinstall the superuser app of your preference, it's installation includes the latest patch.
If you are missing /system/bin/chargemon.stock and you want to be able to charge your phone while it's turned off.
Flash using one of the recoveries!
Version 0.13 and upwards is using AROMA 2.70B1 or better, the below warning can be ignored for now. Let me know how it performs!
AROMA Warning: AROMA currently works best in TWRP but even there it has some issues on the Z/ZL. It sometimes does not start up correctly or it has a 'sticky button' issue. It makes it a little less easy to use but this will be fixed in time. It is a combination problem caused by the new hardware and incompatibility with it and the fact the recoveries both have been updated considerably to work on the latest phones, causing issues with some functionality of AROMA.
If it hangs when trying to start, reboot your phone and try again.
If it has the sticky buttons, press the button again to activate.
You can avoid the sticky buttons by pressing them for about half a second (that means not too short and not too long). It will work, it's just showing a bug associated with the latest recoveries.
The Samsung S4, HTC One and One X and the Nexus 4 & 7 show the same issues. For them AROMA sometimes crashes, this is an issue i have not yet observed on the Z/ZL.
Thanks go to @Androxyde for the FTF creation, cheers m8!
nice! so does that mean we dont need to factory wipe before upgrading? I thought if we go across versions (4.1.2 > 4.2.2) you gotta wipe all your stuff first.
After flashing the stripped ftf, the phone doesn't go into recovery. It shows green light, Sony logo and nothing else. Then it just reboot again. Already tried downloaing the file and flashing again. still the same problem.
Ya, I need manual install dual boot to access back to CWM/TWRP then just can install but the preinstall superuser root is not working at all.

Is there any reason why the dalvik cache are not wiped in this release process?
Is it simply a speed/optimisation thing, or will it cause issues if it happens?
Comming from PAC... Do i need to install other Stock rom before update or just use the instructions above? thanks.
Ok, so this is what ive done to get this to boot, on existing rom with recovery installed I flashed the .432.zip, obviously it bootlooped, but then flashed the ftf file which got the rom to boot. Then rooted and installed recovery as Andrewtst has linked to above.
Cheers.
Can't download the zip and ftf file, doesnt work, anyone can confirm that? can you reuploading or verify if is everything ok, thx for the work you done.

It's meant as an update process and not wiping anything will make the ROM treat your phone as one that just got updated

Yes, you need a stock ROM before you can flash this, I would not recommend updating your phone from PAC...

I have modified the guide a bit as i should have done before i posted it...
Restore the kernel to anything other then the 4.2.2 one and then try to flash the update package, after flashing the update, re-flash the kernel.
I made one error in my guide: If someone is not using the correct version of XZDualRecovery (2.5 BETA) then you lose recovery when on the 4.2.2 kernel. The correct steps order to prevent this from happening are now in the OP.

Sorry guys, the server is under a heavy load at the moment... the webserver lost a few workers that ate up much of the cpu time. I've killed them all and restarted the webserver.
IF the problem was caused by that, it's solved now

Ooh... i now see what you mean... you are correct. I'll patch up the flashable package to do it automatically.
For you, use a file explorer to move the contents (skipping the 0 folder) of /data/media to /data/media/0/. Sorry man, i missed that completely on my phone

Hi,
Today I will introduce the changes you can make to your Huawei P9 lite device.
These methods have been tested on my VNS-L31C432 and it's work on B130 update and earlier.
Sorry in advance for my incorrect syntax in inglish, i'am french user
1. Update to latest version
If your device is NOT ROOTED install the OTA update.
Otherwise place a folder named "dload" into you external or internal SD card and put update file (unzipped) on this folder.
Update for VNS-L31C432BXXX to VNS-L31C432B130 dual-sim, european version here >> https://www.hidrive.strato.com/lnk/H2ljl9lt
Turn off your device.
Hold volume up/down and power button for a long time.... Update starts automatically after this.
If your device is bricked, do not format the partition (except dalvik and cache) and go update (this update is a full version, your system will be restored).
2. Unlock Bootloader/install TWRP/Root your device
Follow this steps >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-t3405701
if you have problems to get the unlocking code, log on Huawei site with your Facebook login, CHOOSE your device model and click request the code, enter the requested information, done!
TWRP 3.0.2.0 work but nandroid backup doesn't work!
For solve this, install the "TWRP Manager" app and go backup page, done!!!
(If you need set SElinux in permissive mode please read below).
3. Set SElinux to permissive mode for ever!
Download "Terminal IDE" app.
Open it and run this:
(please, type a command at a time)
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mkdir /system/su.d
echo "#!/system/bin/sh" > /system/su.d/permissive.sh
echo "setenforce 0" > /system/su.d/permissive.sh
echo "0" > /sys/fs/selinux/enforce
chmod 755 /system/su.d/permissive.sh
restart your device, done!
4. Install Xposed Frameworks
Follow this step >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/guide-xposed-p9-lite-t3425315 and chose this version >> http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk23/arm64/xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64.zip (xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64 work fine, no battery drained).
5. Best Xposed module worked fine
Here are some useful and functional modules (not exhaustive list..)
-Amplify (for battery saving)
-Greenify (for battery saving)
-BootManager (for chose your apps in start on boot)
-Play Store Changelog (to display your apps and update at the opening of the Play Store)
-WiFiKeyView (view your wifi key in new tab at wifi setting. Little bug your key is not visible but copy your key and past on a note worked)
-XInternalSD (chage the path to dowload file from Chrome >> external SD) (work on other app )
-VolumeSteps+ (If you find that your volume increases too quickly, This module add steps in the volume bar! Customisable)
-ActivityForceNewTask (Force app open in correct app)
-Force Immersive Mode (Force immersive mode in your app, customisable)
-VirtualSensor (Material emulation of gyroscop, not worked with pogo dev running for this isue)
-AdBlocker and Lucky Patcher Module (I'm not sure that really works..)
6. Use your External SD on Internal (Full supported!!)
This trick enable the official feature "adoptable storage" on your Marshmallow with EMUI. better than Link2SD.
-Connect your device in your PC.
-Run ADB and run this comand:
Code:
adb shell
sm list-disks
you will see a number, that is the identifier of your SD card. For example "159,49".
Run this comand (replace YOUR_SD_IDENTIFIER ):
Code:
sm partition disk:YOUR_SD_IDENTIFIER mixed:50
Done, your external SD have 50% of memory for external and 50% for internal emulation.
Next, appointment in your storage settings and check the total capacity of the device! It may appear 0.00 o available, it's just a visual bug don't worries
Use a "DiskInfo" app or a file explorer for see correctly values.
7. BONUS play the walking dead season 1 and 2 on your P9 lite
I love this game! But device not suported..
the only solution is to take a file from the game with the unlocked level ...
Version named "Mali".
I hope you enjoyed my guide if you have questions or other tricks leave a comment.
Thanks!
nice guide, thinking myself do one like this, but can be improved... add multi user, multi window, calling recorder, substratum/layer support, build.prop mods, smart-e, smart cover etc

I was trying this some time ago...
With TWRP, I was just getting booted into TWRP. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is it just me? I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you Snapdesign, If you have more info to add , I would edit the post and I would quote you.
Zeruno, TWRP, stock recovery and stock updater some many diferent. if you don't remove it, you have full acces on it.
Your device is shutdown, hold volume up + volume down + power and don't release it before the updater screen appears!
normally it works...

Yep there's my problem -- updater screen never comes but TWRP loads instead. I wonder if there is some adb command?! That would solve a problem.
i do not think there is an command to go in the updater..
Wait for a more positive response from another user
Or try this at your risk...
Put any file for update (update.app, META-INF, ...) On a .zip archive named "update.zip" and place in your adb folder.
Connect your device on PC launch adb and run this:
Code:
Adb reboot bootloader
Wait for see bootloader screen and run:
Code:
Adb sideload update.zip
I not tested personally this method...
Otherwise place a folder named "dload" into you external or internal SD card and put update file (unzipped) on this folder.
Update for VNS-L31C432BXXX to VNS-L31C432B130 dual-sim, european version here >> https://www.hidrive.strato.com/lnk/H2ljl9lt
Turn off your device.
Hold volume up/down and power button for a long time.... Update starts automatically after this.
If your device is bricked, do not format the partition (except dalvik and cache) and go update (this update is a full version, your system will be restored).

Is this the procedure if your phone is rooted but you still want to install the OTA? (My current situation)
This method work on a rooted and no-rooted device.
The root "disable" the OTA function.
Don't try OTA on stock app update in your setting if your device is rooted.
The trick to use ext sd to increase space works with both stock and root or only with root?
Inviato dal mio SM-N9005 utilizzando Tapatalk
This trick no need a su promp comand.
Su command is only available for root user.
Trick work on no root acces
EDIT: im not sur if adb shell work for guest user.. try it
After lot of test, this version Xposed Framework is not a better for P9 lite.
Version unmodified v86 work fine with resource hook activated!

Hello,
will this trick work even with TWRP recovery or only with stock recovery? is there any other way to install OTA updates if I have TWRP and root?

This trick work on a rooted or stock device.
Work only with stock updater.
Is not possible to update with OTA if your device is rooted, no isue.
If you proced a manual install, your device lost the root and your bootloader re-lock automatically.
Possible to re-unlock and re-root after this update.

Hi guys, I have two questions. First, how can I move apps data from internal memory to SD card? And second, does our phone have a front camera flash? Thanks
so it is possible to use my sd card as internal storage? how will this be displayed in my os?
does it just think of it as 1 bigger internal sd or something else? just want to make sure before buying the phone .
also, is the huawei p9 lite a good phone to be rooted and used with custom firmware (e.g. supportive community etc.)
thank you very much in advance for answers!
have a nice day everybody

Adoptable storage for SD card is not available in stock firmware due to EMUI security policy. But you can do it in custom firmware based on AOSP.
P9 Lite has fully functional CyanogenMod, SlimRom, Resurrection Remix, MedRom (based on stock EMUI 4.1.1 Android 6) and Revolution OS ( Bases on stock EMUI 5.0 Android 7).

In the OP I had the ADB_Root_G930U_QE2Files.zip linked to the ADB_Root_G935U_QE2Files.zip zip so please make sure you have the ADB_Root_G930U_QE2Files.zip when downloading. Its fixed in the OP now so just double check
I recommend everyone put the Flashfire AP zip and Rom Zip on your internal storage as the AP file is so large that it may not be read properly do too limitations of some SD Cards. When you select AP file in Firmware there should be 4 partitions that are selected. If not then you have a bad download or need to have AP file on internal storage
Thanks for all your hard work . I just installed this so far so good but I am missing Wi-Fi calling. Is that normal or am I just not looking in the correct place? Thanks

Ok will try that when I get a chance. Thanks again.
Thx for an awesome rom.
Sorry if this question is asked before but couldn't find a solution (checked Verizon thread as well).
I am running Playstore version ROM and everything is working fine except Video Recording.
Photo is fine but when I record a video with included Camera NX, it only plays sound and the screen is either still or black.
I have been taking a needed break. I will update all my s7 roms including this one in the next few days
Nice
That rom can flash for g930p? tks your work!!
@jrkruse
Thanks for all your contributions to this device. I just bought this device and I've been diving through the forums trying to gather as much info on this locked down device.
Could you provide me with just the boot images that don't check the system image and from what model/rom are they from?
Oh and could you provide the partitions locations? The latest roms have an updated Knox that blocks SU from doing it's thing and I have to perform everything via adb (eng boot).
Blank screen
Hello,
I am on your custom rom and the phone was working fine for a day. After I restarted the phone I am not able to see the lockscreen. Its just blank. I do hear the sound of taking a screenshot when I press the buttons and I also can see the " shut down, restart, emg mode" buttons when I hold the power button but no lockscreen. I tried running the recovery boot img but nothing changed.
There is some kind of issue at the locksceen after a restart.

I followed the directions up to Step 7.
For the life of me I can not get the AP file to copy to my SD card. Yes I have enough space on it and I can get the ROM copied.
I tried copying the AP file with a file explorer, on my PC, external card reader. Every time I try, it gets to about 95-99% and says "copy failed".
I know it says flashfire only, but is that my only option?

In my case I created a folder named Download in Internal Storage and copied Zip and AP files there. I didn't have trouble coping files there.
From my experience & guess, you may still have old files & settings even though you flashed U-firm files Step 1-2.
Try to access recovery mode and do factory reset and see if this helps. Make sure you backup all important files to External SD because it will factory reset.
So I rooted my phone using Araltd's guide in this forum. I've got a couple of questions about this rom...
1. If I were to flash this rom to my device, would it remove my root access?
2. What's device performance like? After rooting, my device is very slow and buggy. Will this fix that?
3. Will my device still be full of T-Mobile's bloatware?
Thanks!

1. Yes, it will remove Root Access but you can still use ADB to do root stuff like push / pull files.
2. Since it will use stock boot instead of ENG boot, it will fix the lag issue.
3. This is U (universal) firmware so it won't have Tmobile bloat but it will have Samsung bloat/apps. During the install you can also choose de-bloat level too. From my experience BS-Free (2nd one), is both lightweight and stable. If you go with Playstore level (most lightweight, replace Samsung Apps with Google ones), you will have trouble with camera.

Do you know how this rom compares to the QF6 one which seems to be a bit more popular?

The QF6 ROM you mentioned is T-mobile firmware so it will have Tmobile apps. Most of them can be removed from ROM install or disabled after.
Other than that there's no performance difference.
If you want Tmobile like environment with Tmobile update schedule, go with T-mobile one. If you want less carrier apps, go with U-Firmware one.
I will no longer be updating my s7 threads until the time Oreo is released with root method. For now I have worked with @stang5litre to bring my non-root method to his amazing rom. He currently has a nougat release found here http://stang5litre-roms.proboards.com/
I keep getting samsung pay connection error. any fixes? i tried factory reset and reset settings, but the app still doesnt work. do i have to reflash the rom?

If you at any point tried to root it or flashed the modified boot image then you are no longer passing the safteynet checks, my suggestion is to do a clean install and see if it works then try it again making sure you don't root after you are done installing this rom.

Hi,
Thanks for the guide. Which ROM you recommend? Everything working for you (LTE modem etc)?
Can you now install 64bit apps from Google Play? Any chance you can check if the DJI Fly app is working on your SM-T515?

Thanks

Well, It's still a 32bit rom. I've tried to install the app but I'm unable (prob because the app is 64bit)

I thought that this custom ROM is 64bit
When I bought the TAB A I thought it's a bargain, I didn't know that I wouldn't be able to install 64bit apps.

Sorry if this is a stupid question , but before i brick my new SM-T515 I would rather ask the experts.
Now, i have rooted the stock ROM folowing the steps in https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#samsung-system-as-root with no TWRP and want to install one of the custom ROMs you have tested.
will I lose root if flash the Legion ROM GSI?
if yes, can you please put some steps together to root and install TWRP?
i still have the “magisk_patched.tar" from the stock ROM, would that work for the Legion ROM GSI?

I've followed the steps and have Lineage installed on my T515, but when I plug it into my computer it can't see the Tablet in Windows Explorer. I've set it to MTP mode and enabled USB debugging. Strange thing is when I use ADB DEVICES I can see it. Also when I plug it in, the tablet makes a sound and it says 'Usb Debugging...' on screen. It just won't show up in Windows.
Also when I try and use File Explorer on the tablet, it can't see the SD Card. I've tried formatting it for 'Portable' but it when I go back in it says it corrupted. When I format it for Phone Storage, it shows the extra space for the phone storage but I also can't see it in the File Explorer.
Anyone else come across this?

I have a work app that need a little more ram: the solution is LineageOs (used 1,2gb vs 1,5gb of the stock rom) and I transfer files through recovery. I tried LegionOS but is full of bugs and file transfer doesn't work the same.
I'm back to stock and my computer and can see my table and the SD card is working fine. Its a shame as I'd love to use LineageOS but for now I'm stuck on stock.
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong so need some help please. I’ve installed TWRP and multidisabler. I’ve wiped the system cache data etc like I was flashing a custom rom.
I’ve downloaded the rom from the links flashed it via system image but I still get the message no os installed rebooted and just a bootloop saying unlocked boot loader press power button to start then nothing no booting image from linageos. Just repeats.
Can anybody tell me or guide me on what I could have done wrong and what what I should being

I followed what you said but I’m stilling getting the bootloop for some reason could share links of what rom you downloaded and etc.
Because there must be a mistake in making.
Also to what I’ve been reading is that I need something of treble enabler for the device but I really don’t know.

I finally managed to get LineageOS installed. I just deleted all the files and redone loaded them, returned back to stock and did the whole process all over again.
And it worked. ? ? so maybe somewhere down the line put have been a corrupt download or something.
Custom rom has whole different feeling on the tablet now. Thanks again for tutorial, I’ve been waiting for something like this for a while.
You don’t know of any other roms there out there to try?
