Android Hacking Explained
Tips For Hacking Android
1. Never flash, root, or hack your android device unless you have more than 80% battery life.
2. Make sure you have at least an hour to flash or hack your android device and always have access to a computer.
3. Always make a nandroid backup before flashing anything to your android just in case.
4. Research, research, research. Read lots of forums and please watch my videos on what you are trying to do. If you dont understand it, you will mess it up.
5. Remember to thank those that help you out!!! Developers & nerds alike.
6. Every android device is a little different and has its own little tricks and problems, so study up.
7. The best thing to learn before any sort of hacking is how to return the device back to stock condition, whether that is a SBF, AP fastboot, FX, Odin, or sending the files over ADB
8. The android community is a great place, there is never a stupid question.
9. Make sure you know all the info in settings about phone before you hack your devices. IE. Model #, android version, Build #, and so on.
10. The BIGGEST problem that people have when rooting or using at utility is the driver install. Make sure you download and run the driver install files then connect your device to your PC. When connected you are going to need to turn on usb debugging on the android device this setting is in the devices settings page, most of the time under developers options. Last you need to put the android device into all three or four usb modes. You can do this by pulling down the notification bar and change the modes there. Now the drivers should be install correctally. If still having problems you can uninstall and reinstall the drivers with a program called USB Deview which is on My Downloads page or watch this VIDEO .
Does All of this sounds to complicated for you but you really want root access?
If so check out one click root it is a simple easy way to root your Android devices
You can also use one click jailbreak to gain access to your Apple Iphone or Ipad

for liquid smooth what file do i download? ls-kk-v3?
Great site Tom! Hope this helps you get your name out there more!
Thanks been working hard on this site for about a week. Hopefully it will be a helpful site for the android community
Great website so far! I recommend your videos to anybody who is interested in rooting their device.
thanks nick that means a lot
Awesome job! Congrats!
Great job used you tools to bring my dying RAZR maxx back to life. Do you have any suggestions on getting more internal memory?
great site man but you forgot stuff about the s4
Yeah its coming just havent copied it over from the other site.
Fixed that problem my S4 videos are up now
Aloha, I’m a newbie and I appreciate your work. My RAZR M 4.4.2 lost recovery options after rooting with towel root then successfully unlocking the boot loader with motopocalypse. I was able to rsd lite sbf 4.4.2, but recovery was still lost. Now I just acquired a RAZR HD with stock 4.1.2. Can I take advantage of being on stock 4.1.2 and use towel root then unlock the boot loader with motopocalypse? As I understand it, those who had taken updates lost their chance until some kind programmer released 4.4.2 without the exploit fix. Well, me now having stock 4.1.2 see this as a golden opportunity to root then unlock BL. I was going to attempt rsd lite 4.1.2 to.4.4.2 ..10 which I downloaded from sbf archives to avoid ota 4.4.2…15 which just was released with fixes for our favorite exploits when it occurred to me I’m on stock dandy 4.1.2 and can do whatever I want. Tom, is my brain seeing this correctly? BTW, can I rsd lite sbf flash from 4.1.2 all the way to my saved 4.4.2? This is a brand new RAZR HD and I don’t want to mess it up, I’m acquiring a small stockpile of droids. The learning curve helps pay some of the costs but geez. So root God, what should I do? Please and thank you, Tim. Please feel free to use my email as well.
I have an old Samsung Galaxy 4G do i have to unlock it to use it on Google Voice? If I do do you know how to unlock it?
only real requirement to use this new setup with google voice is to be on android 4.3 and above. if you can get the device to that android version then you are good to go. you nay have to install a custom rom to get there
Hi rootjunky!
Can you please help me out sort issues with rooting my phone htc desire 601, already done htcdev boot unlock, but then something might have gone from from there, because until now i am not rooted, after installing recovery and all…, My phone boot status now is Tempered – Unlocked! With S-On.
Today I tried to use Firewater and Weaksauce to get things fixed, ADB connection and all working fine, but Weaksauce doest not work? Instead is displaying “Unfortunately Weaksauce has stopped”?
My device is HTC Desire 601, single Sim, HBoot 2.22, running android 4.4.2
Any idea or advice to get me out of this please…
regards,
victorkh
sorry i dont own that device. every device gets hacked a little differently and i dont want to speak to this device unless i have done my research on it first. you are going to have to check out xda developers site to try and find your answers
Thanks

Hi there, after reading this awesome post
i am also cheerful to share mmy knowledge here with friends.
rootjunky! Cheers to you and all in the Android Community. Great Site and Great Layout! Sites like these give you more reasons to OD on Android.
if there was a thumbs up button you would get two 🙂
LOL….really, hats off to you. Outstanding work my friend.
Hey man, just want to say thanks for the time spent making all these videos and posts! I pretty much have no idea what i’m doing but by following your lead, i’ve been able to accomplish all i’ve intended… Soooo a bunch of SBFs and RSD adventures, I have finally brought my MB870 up to Jellybean, and other than no recovery, she’s been running most excellently. Without you spreading your knowledge, I’d be out a phone. Ill be buying you beers shortly! Be well man! Thanks Again!!
I just got the new fire he 6 and was wondering if there is going to be a root for this device soon
I dont know havent picked up that device yet. Maybe i will get one. check on xda developers site
Hello,
I have a Kindle Fire 2nd generation (KFOT) and I did not install TWRP or Custom Recovery. So can you do a video about it, thanks.
You are fantastic! It was work to get my Droid Razr HD upgraded to KitKat but it was also fun following your videos step-by-step. You do a great job and cover it all. Thank you for sharing your hard work with us.
Hey Thanks for all the videos!
Im trying to install a custom ROM on my S4, and I have root access, SU, and busy box, and safe strap loaded.
I go into SafeStrap and make a slot for the rom
Wipe data Cache Davik
Install the Hyperdrive in the slot,
Exit Installer
Install the NC5 Modules
I make sure the New rom slot is active and Reboot the device….
It just boots into the normal stock rom…. Any Ideas?
Im on the NC5 Verizon
I haven’t seen that problem before. I would recommend booting to stock ROM the. Installing safe strap again and see if that helps
oh I should also mention, when booting into the Custom Rom1 slot where I installed Hyperdrive, It loads a stock rom setup, but without cellphone service, so I have to reload the stock rom

thanks for the vids on tab pro sm t320. one question,you mention to read the material on cf autoroot, witch i did, the site says to make sure the bl is unlocked or you will brick the device but on your vids you dont mention that, is it nessessary to unlock bl before rooting and is there a reason why you didnt cover that on the vids, thanks, have sm t325. feel free to contact threw email , thanks paul
you dont have to unlock the bootloader on this device just some devices it all depends on the device and OEM
Thanks for videos on smt320 I have sm t325. On the vids you advised to read on cf auto root, the site said if bl was lock that you could brick the divice,but you didn’t mention that or go over unlock ing bl, is it necessary? Thanks
Hello, great site and thanks for all the videos. I have a Verizon S4 which is rooted build number VRUAME7 and 4.2.2. I would like to go to newer version and keep root – maybe kitkat. What is the easiest, best path? Safestrap or flashing or what? Thanks.
Hi,
I wanted to know , if it possible to install CM11 on my micromax canvas HD (a116)???
MMX canvas hd- stock rom- jelly bean 4.2.1- chip set-Mediatek MT6589- CPU- Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7- GPU-PowerVR SGX544..
Hi,
So I followed your video on gaining root access on my razr maxx XT912 & it seems to have worked. One thing that stood out to me was your system version says 98.72.16.XT912 & mine says 98.72.165.XT912. Does this matter? Is it because I’m about a year late on doing this?
At this point, if I’m understanding this right, I need to install a recovery system, right? What’s the best one to install? You speak a lot about safestrap, but I’ve heard of clockworkmod & cyanogenmod too. Is there one that’s better than another, or is safestrap specifically designed for my particular phone?
Thanks,
Kyle
…Also, where do I download safestrap v3. whatever version their on?
rootJunkysdl.com should have it
Hello. I have lg g2 f320s that i buy last month. The problem is my network always turn gprs ‘G’ and the network has lost if i turn to wcdma only..i think its KitKat problem. My phone running 4.4.2 .

Because iam sick of this problem.hope that has someone can help me to downgrade. I also have wifi problem. I from malaysia. Thank u.
Hi Tom,
I love your instruction videos. I have just rooted an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 after the latest 4.4.4 Kitkat OTA. I wanted to install safestrap and was following your instructions. SU and Busybox installed successfully. The “setenforce 0” command does not change to “permissive”, it stays on enforced. I tried everything I could find. I just though you might have an idea. Thanks Jim
you need the older boot.img / kernel installed to be able to change it to Permissive
Thanks. That worked. Safestrap installed. Backing up now!
I dont have gps driver in my android kikat 4.4. so how and where i can find gps driver.
what do you mean GPS driver? GPS doesnt need drivers installed to work.
Great site. I love the clean organization. And, the name rootjunky is perfect. Easy to remember, fun, and accurately conveys your passion.
Gotta a question for you: I’m using a Nexus 5 and 9 with stock Android Lollipop. Really enjoying them both. I also have an LG-V410 (that AT&T gave me on a promotion) that’s horrible. It’s been sitting in its box for a month because I can’t stand the UI. Is there a Cyanogenmod (or any other that would feel closer to Lollipop) that I could use?
Thanks…alan
Oops. Make that “Got a…”

Hi there. I really appreciate and adore your videos on the galaxy tabpro 8.4 but I only stumbled across them after making a stjupoid mistake
I have flashed twrp recovery and not made a backup of the original recovery.IMG or the zip file. Now I need to make an ota update but I need stock recovery so I’m assuming that you guys have backed up the recovery.IMG or the flashable zip through Odin.
My current aadroid version is 4.4.2
Please help me out.
Thank you very much
Followed your video and have unlocked via sunshine, rooted and with TWRP on droid ultra with 4.4. Tried to take ota to get to 4.4.4. Flashed back recovery and uninsulated exposed. Ota downloads but fails to install. Goes into reboot cycle. Have to wipe cache to stop. Any ideas
yes you arent 100% stock and that is why it is failing. maybe you removed some apps or something like that. Why update to 4.4.4 when you can flash a custom rom?
Seems that most are bugging. I really don’t remember removing any apps. Just froze. What is best way to make sure all system apps are installed. Thanks. Love your website

Hi there!
Will you make a V9 script for the LG G Watch to install the latest 5.0.1 Lollipop firmware?
Thanks in advance!
I am working on it right now 🙂
i need help rooting my tab 3 using an os system.
Is it possible to make a updated video for htc one m8 verizon. Since sunshine and weaksauce 2 are working now, how can you achieve permanent root? Tried multiple twrp and cw recovery but every time I can’t seem to get it right. I see earlier videos not sure how up to date they are. Thank you.

Hello Wizards of Android, ever done a hard reset for a G Slate LGV909DW for a forgotten password? Following the usual protocol: powering off, then holding either volume down, up or both along with power button doesn’t give results. #ataroadblockrightaboutnow. THANKS in advance for any solution anyone can offer
I have a Verizon Galaxy SCH 1545 running Android 4.4.2 – Baseband 1545VRUFNK1 Kernal 3.4.0 I am trying to root the phone. If I connect the phone to my Computer through USB, no problem; the computer see the phone. If I put the phone into downloading, the computer does not recognize it. I get the sound USB makes and Odin see it, but the computer does not and if I try to flash the old Kernal, it fails. If I pull the USB is sounds and Odin shows it as Removed. I have tried different cables and ports. Please help.
hi dear can you plz updates or upgrade, unlock boot loader, recovery,install lollipop on innjoo fire,,,plz plz
could you tell me where i could go to get the apk file to download on the otg tool?

Hi, just thank you, I did root my Moto Droid Ultra 4.4.4, 24.3.7 (from SU6-7.3 to SU6-7.2 now a SU6-7)
😀 (I still can’t believe it, you`re such a genius)
But the bootloader is still locked, plus my device does not recognize the sim card.
And I just saw it now, the IMEI SV is 00 and before I was able to digit *#06# and get the IMEI number but now I can’t. And I can`t find the IMEI in some lists (to check if it is blacklisted or not, last time it wasn`t) is it normal?
Maybe I could downgrade it from 4.4.4 to 4.4 or 4.4.2? is it possible?
Just bought the Amazon Fire 2015 – 7 inch and tried to install the google play store app per your video on rootjunkysdl. Was able to download files for Fire 5th generation and unzip, enabled ADB debugging, linked computer to the Fire and started batch file. Found the USB driver in the rootjunky downloaded files that it asked me to locate. It began to install but got error message saying windows found the driver software for the device but encountered an error while trying to install…”Android Composite ADP interface”..the hash for the file is not present in the specified catalog file.
Any ideas what is going on? Thanks
I tried to root my Amazon Fire TV which I purchased recently. I did everything just like you said but when I went to launch towelroot, it froze and did not reboot. I’ve tried uninstalling towelroot and supersu but still won’t work.Any ideas? Thanks.
Great site and good help!
glad you like it
Have you done any videos on Android apps for Chrome OS? Have you done anything with Chrome books? Thanks, Bob
not much but maybe something i should look into
What can I do to bypass the samsung account on my s6 edge after it was reset?
Thanks for the great work! I’m new to this kind of stuff and had a question that I’m struggling to get answered with any kind of customer service. When I was living in Kenya, I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Model number: GT-P7500; Build Number: HTJ85B P7500XWKL1). It was having some serious issues and I was recommended to Factory Reset the device. This issue is that I can’t update any of the software or firmware. I can’t download or update any Play Store Apps. After working through every troubleshoot I could find, and that the play store people walked me through – the only thing they said was to call the Kenya Samsung branch.
All that to say, is there any way to just get past all this stuff and maybe run something else on the device?
@RootJunky….. First, thank you for responding. I guess I should of wrote an updated comment. I wrote the last comments as soonà as I visited the page. I then started reading a lot of what you have written, watched some videos, etc. So, I know much more than when I first visited your site. And, I certainly appreciate the time you must spend keeping this site up and running, responding to questions, researching, testing and learning new devices, etc. So, I understand why you responded to my question by basically saying, “goto my home page and start reading”. And, it made laugh because I could picture you thinking, this guy has all this info. on this site and he’s really asking, what is Rooting? I apologize. I should of done some research and reading instead of immqediately posting those questions.
So, I’ve answered most of my own questions. I have a couple of questions that are more specific than the ” goto the home page and start reading” level. I have a Droid Turbo 2. It runs great. If you were using the Droid 2 as your everyday phone and knowing all you know, what would you change, if anything, through adding and/or subtracting, to make the phone “better” or more to your liking? Also, are there any specifics roots, etc. that you would suggest anyone with a Droid Turbo 2 look into other, than the ones you spoke about in your answer to the previous question?
I am interested in customizing my D.T.2 but I am not sure of the best available options nor do I trust myself making changes to the OS, etc. I don’t want to end up with a phone that looks great and is customized exactly to my liking but now runs like shit.
RootJunky, I understand that I’m not as advanced as most people who ask questions and/or visit your site, however, I am very intelligent and I learn fast……I just need some advice and direction and I feel as if I could learn enough to not have to “bother” you with lower level questions.
If you would take some time helping me, I would certainly appreciate it. I promise you that you are not dealing with a knucklehead.
Thanks in advance and, once again, thank you for all the time you sacrifice to help others. Last, I am willing to donate to help with the costs of everything.
i messed up my moto e 2nd gen are you planning on doing a supertool for it anytime soon. your tools are the best never fail
no plans for that device sorry
Do you know of a way to root the original Motorola Xoom tablet? Thank you very much.
yes it should have a unlocked bootloader. so just flash twrp and then flash supersu.zip from twrp its pretty easy
Hello,
I used your Method to Root my Motorola Droid Maxx 4.4.4 SU-6-7.3, Which is being shown on Youtube.
Exact i did what is mentioned in Video, After successful BLBROKE Command, When Tried to RUN ROOT, It showed the Error that User Pyserial 2.6, & Link is given to Download Pyserial 2.6, but 2.6 Version is not available on Python Website.
I Downloaded Pyserial 2.6-64 BIT from some website, But still its Showing same error.
Now my Handset is not Working at all. Also after pressing Power Button & Volume Down handset is not Responding at all.
Please Guide Urgently.

Please Guide for Above issue at earliest. Share any video for such situation.
I saw a video of yours about factory reset and pushed the on button and vol down the Amazon Fire came up in fast boot mode and then locked up. Now it won’t respond at all and stays showing “=>FASTBOOT mode…” and just ???
Is there a way to unscew this?
hold volume down and power until it reboots
I just noticed I misspelled my e-mail address in the previous comment. Fixed it in this comment.
I copy the previous comment.
I should mention that I did not activate the developers adb thingy ’cause you didn’t mention that in the video I saw.

Disregard previous posts. I asked goggle and got the Kindel discussions on Amazon and found that you have to hold the power button down for 20 seconds then it shuts down and you can reboot normally. I’ll set the adb thingy now and follow your instructions on rooting the device.
I don’t know why they don’t put a pdf of UnScrewing FAQ’s on the web instead letting people get frustrated?
Now that I have a android, that actually works I’ll be watching this site closely.
Hi ya RootJunky, I have a question concerning your “Published on Apr 11, 2013 . . How to Unlock motorola Bootloader on the Droid Razr HD, Razr M, & Atrix HD”

I watched the two videos on how to bypass the Google account recovery lock on my Galaxy Note 5. I tried BOTH methods and neither worked. I downloaded the file to a flash drive and used that OSG cable to plug it into the phone but nothing happened. I also tried the method where you turn off the wi-fi real quick and set a screen lock to access the camera then download the file directly. Only problem is, on my phone there is no camera on my screen lock page. I was able to set the screen lock but I have no camera icon to get into the download.
I’m having same issue.Did u figured it out?

Hey, my fire 5th gen was acting a little crazy so I factory reset it. While it factory reset I put it to charge and it upgraded to fire is 5.1.2. Is it possible to downgrade. I downloaded your recent root file and the root failed. What do I do?
no you cant downgrade below 5.1.2 at this time

Hi Rootjunky,
I recently atempted to root a kindle fire, not sure what generation the system was 4.0.3_10.5.1. I used your Amazonfire 5th Gen Supertool all seemed to work up to the point of installing supersu and removeing kingroot.
I am using a linux system (mint).
supersu started to install then said it needed to update and couldn’t with message install failed. Icon was on desktop but orange in color pressing only took you through same failure again.
Should I unzip the supersu-v2.46.zip inside the Amazonfire5thGenSupertool/apps directory, perhaps.
Googleplay went on but gooleservices kept shutting down could not logon.(did this after atempted root)
Did a reset so all gone now. Any advice would be greatly welcomed.
Great work by the way thanks for your efforts,
All the best
Wayne
Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo please 🙂
HTC Desire 620 please
yeah i am working on that one 🙂
Hi rootjunkie. I have watched your videos on youtube and successfully unbricked and rooted my Lenovo K3 – thanks! I then tried to install a custom ROM as per your instructions and when I try to install the zip via CWM I get the message ‘opening package’ and then am taken straight back to the main menu of CWM? I have tried a few different ROM’S and same problem! If anyone could help it would be appreciated. Thank you
Hi !
First, i would like to tell that you do a great job helping others. Thank you !

Hello
I have 2 nexus devices and no wifi connection,strange because my internet is strong,I have nexus 9 and nexus 6p ,both hve the same problems,cant detect any wifi signal,can you help me,thank you and more power!!!!!
Hello rootjunky, ive watched almost all your videos on frp bypass for android and i believe there is a new security patch. The first problem i had was getting to the files after i downloaded your apk (dual window isnt opening). When i found my way to files i needed to allow unknown sources, which is now grayed out. Im using an up to date LG stylo. Any tips would help, thanks!
Question: I just got a Kindle Fire 5th gen with Fire OS 5.1.4. I used your SuperTool to root it but I would like to change the ROM. I notice your SuperTool has an option to boot to a TWRP recovery but only if the Fire OS is at 5.0.1. I’ve found the firmware file to downgrade the OS to 5.0.1 but I don’t know how to flash it. Could you tell me how?
you cant if you try and downgrade below 5.1.2 you will hard brick the device you need to use flash fire app to flash custom roms
I recently bought another turbo (xt1254) and it has the latest update. I’ve been working hard to downgrade it by flashing stock firmware (batch) But keep coming up empty handed, and I tried rsd lite, it keeps saying “incorrect XML file” or something like that. Everything has been a dead end. I have one last idea, and that’s Verizon software assistance. But before I run the repair, will it actually reinstall the original stock firmware, or will it just reinstall su4tl-49?
it will install the latest software and will not downgrade
That’s what I thought. Alrighty thanks for confirming it for me.
Hey I’d like to start by saying I’m a huge fan, your a tech wizard. Now onto my problem I have a Sprint Samsung S7 Edge I bought second hand to use with AT&T but I’ve hit two major roadblocks the first is the FRP slash Google lock I’ve tried your hack over and over and still can’t get past it second once I get past it how do I convert it so it can be used with any carrier please help I’m desperate. I don’t want to explain to my husband why I spent $300 on a phone I can use when I told him where there’s a will there’s a way.
I am looking to gain root access to my fire 10 5th gen that i just got from amazon. can anyone help?
Hi Tom,
I´m happy that I found your videos on youtube. Your site is geat!!!
My problem was a mi note 3 pro with a softbrick. Your video helped me a lot!!!
Now I want to install cm13 on the device. I have no official permission to unlock the bootloader. I saw a lot of videos and post on other sites and videos, but they are very differet and I dont know wich way I should try and wich will works.
So, I believe in you!!!
My question is: Do you have a descripion to unlook the bootloader of the rmn3pro for the unofficial way without mi permission?
In advance, thanks a lot for your answer. You make a great job.
Greetings
yeah i do now have that video but you just flash the right bootloader with miflash tool and reboot then you are unlocked its pretty easy. i guess i should make a video on it
Hi Tom,
thank you for your anwer.
I got permission and unlocked the bootloader…
What happend now. I flashed TWRP like your introduction in your video!!! It worked!!! I opened TWRP in fastboot with the console comando.
But than after opening TWRP I had a softbrick. I don´t know why.
EDL and fastboot works. Nothing more else…
When I try to flash a fastboot rom,
(your kenzo_global_images_V7.3.2.0.LHOMIDD_20160419.0000.19_5.1_global) the mi flash tool says, that it couldn´t find the data!?!?!?!?! The root is correct…
Do you have a idea to save the mi?
What should I do?
Thanks a lot for your answer.
Greetings deadpool
Hi Tom, me again,
when I start the edl mode, I can´t see the device. I can see it in fastboot under miflash. When I start edl, it goes away. Shit…
Greetings
Hi Tom,
I am having problem with my amazon kindle fire 5th gen (running on fire os 5.1.1). I tried to root it by your shell script on windows but it wasn’t a success.. Thus I tried Kingroot and got partial success in rooting my device.
But after some time it started to restart abruptly and I was now unable to factory reset it. At present it is not turning on. I can also not open android bootloader. It stucks on ‘amazon’ when I try to open bootloader. It continues to say ‘optimizing system and storage…’ stuff when I try to turn it on. The bar of ‘optimizing…’ progresses but continues to loop again and again on the same screen. Please help.
Thank you,
Hetul
I’m having the same problem Cole with my lg stylo
Finally found a bypass for lg ls770zv8 stylo with the 4/1/16 security patch. After trying everything on the internet I just kept playing with and trying everything. It’s similar to your stylo 2 bypass. It’s really simple, no otg, no pc, no wifi. In fact you might need to have the wifi off to do it. Here goes. Go to accessibility settings, motor cognition, touch assist, turn it on, then tap it, then hold down the home button it then tries to go on the internet and then says no connection, now go to the upper right corner and tap the box with the three lines go down and tap reset phone data it then reboots in setup wizard. Finish setup and boom frp bypassed.
Help! I’ve been trying to use your tools on my Amazon Kindle Fire, and I can’t get them to work. I have Fire OS 5.1.4, and I’ve been trying to downgrade to 5.1.2, since nothing (installing Google Play, rooting, etc.) works on 5.1.4. I got the ADB drivers installed, and tried running the downgrade script, but as soon as I get the Fire set to receive an ADB sideload, it no longer shows up on the ADB devices on my computer. As soon as I reboot the Fire to the normal screen, it shows up again as an ADB device, but again, when I get to the ADB sideload screen, it disappears from my computer’s ADB devices. Any suggestions about how I can get this to work? Thanks.
Tom,
Love your work. Very educational. I will definitely put your new out there.
thanks glad you like the site
A follow-up question: since the “Block OTA updates” option didn’t work, either, the system seems to have been updated to Fire OS 5.3.1.0 since my first question. Now the “firmware downgrade” batch file doesn’t even seem to get to the “ADB sideload” options start-up screen. Has Amazon modified this thing to where none of your scripts work on it, now, or is there still any way to get it modified to be more usable? Please respond to this and let me know if anything can still be done with this? Thanks for any help you can offer.
Bro,, plz, me,,,
Plzz, kindly make a video, or, AMAZON.

Hallo
I am in need of desperate help please please. I have installed and paid license fee for “thetruthspy” on the 28th November. It did all the installation requirements and account activations. The target device is activated on the manager account, but since from installation and activation the data logs doesn’t want to sync. I have a premium package which should allow me access to 90% features but the only features like WhatsApp history and Map Location history I’m really interested in to monitor (that is included in my package) doesn’t want to sync logs. The only features that does sync is contact history, sms history and browsing history . Non of the other features. The fact that the some basic features do sync means that things is working on the monitor site. The site says that data should log within 3 days if not rooted, but there are no activity on the “the last time updated” (data uploaded) it gives no indication that the things are connecting after installation and activation. The only reason why I have data log sync history on that basic 3 features mentioned above is because it uploaded / updated / sync only once and that’s when I installed the app on the target device. I uninstalled and reinstalled the App to see if things change and only once again the data sync. Ever since nothing. I changed the settings on the site monitor manager to update logs every 15 min and also nothing updates. The site self says that rooting is faster to have access to the device data logs: I got root access once and went on the app from the device itself with the hope that the data will sync but nothing did and nothing changed. When I was logged into the account from the target with root access the site said “device do not have root access” even when I did have root. Maybe I’m doing something wrong or it has to do with unlocking the bootloader. I’m going to be honest, I’m really not good with this sort of stuff. I am an accountant and has no knowledge on how to do these type of “hacking”. I so desperate for help I will give you my teamviewer logins and all the information you need to help me with this situation? This app “thetruthspy” cost me a few bucks which I couldn’t actually afford to spend, but I need answers quickly.
I tried many many to contact the providers andgot no reply from them till today. I’m actually thinking of demanding my money back as guaranteed since I still don’t have any satisfactory and service. Please any help and advice would be most appreciated. You have my e-mail details. Please e-mail me or inform me in such so it could not affect your privacy as well. I can see that you dont publish any contact details , so I dont know how you want to do this? But please I am very deperate here.
Many thanks.
I recently got a Verizon galaxy s7 and it was frp locked. I have tried everything to bypass it with no luck. Now when I turn it on it wont even connect to wifi. What is going on?
Hi I have a Samsung galaxy core prime 4 it has a Verizon networks lock on it can you help me out please
Hey Rootjunky, need help bad. Please help, I have a Samsung S6. Model. SM-G920A. Have watched most of your uploads. Smart Switch is not fixing, nor is Kies. Odin will not work for me because Samsung will not give me my software. they say for security reasons. WTF? I AM missing something I know. Please Help?!?!
I’m really not as dumb as it may appear. Just haven’t been able to figure out how to contact you. Now I see this leave a comment has a place for email and it’s on the “HOME” tab. So that must be what I’ve been missing. Here goes (for the third time … I do hope the others just have gone away and I’m not clogging up your online work space).
So, I have a nice Amazon Fire HD 7″ 5th Gen tablet. I tried to install (using your wonderful SuperTool) CM-12.1 + Gapps (I think std pkg, but I don’t recall; doesn’t matter now) and got into a Cyanogen Boot Loop which kept flashing the startup screen, but never ever started up. I probably had the wrong version of Amazon. You see, when I would tap the version tab (as per XDA and yours too, I think, instructions) it would just go back to the prior screen. Couldn’t find any other way to determine the version, so I went ahead anyway and ended up, as described above, semi-bricked.
In the end I did a sideload (now using Minimal ADB & Fastboot support on my PC) and installed the latest Amazon upgrade (5.3.2.1). It worked; the tablet works; it’s the same annoying “Amazon owns you!” environment … and I’d still like to get to CM.
Now, I read all the XDA warnings about downgrading the system. But I don’t understand. If I had CM on the system (not operational, I know) and was able to sideload the latest upgrade, why couldn’t I play the same game again, only sideload a prior Amazon version? Then I’d certainly know the version (if it sideloaded) and could proceed with your system. Does this make sense?
By the bye, I watched some of your Youtubes on how to communicate with you. I can only say I think you’re a fun guy (I the videos show that) and wonderfully helpful (all your work shows that!). Thank you.
Hey RootJunky..huge fan follow your work a lot and I run a side business here in Canada..People in the “hackers” community as they say (SMH) have come to know me as On-The-Go Andy..OTG Andy (andy short for Android)..anyhoo…I’ve come across a Pixel XL with Dec 5 Sec Patch…I’ve done last months same way you’ve done it with great success..now I’ve heard Dec Patch is harder..my question is What’s the method for Dec’s and Jan’s?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.. BTW..I’m looking forward to updating my lil one man show OTG Andy company to IPhones as well so im looking forward to buying and learning iOS platforms from you and your partners site PhonLabs..Thanks RootJunky…your the man cool guy!
Luckily I found this and it will benefits me since I am planning to root my other phone using this and I need to back up the files of my phone.
Have tried all the latest hacks for removing or bypassing frp lockout on samsung galaxy s7…………nothing works.
Extremely disappointed.
When can we expect a root for Amazon Fire 5th Gen 5.3.3.0?
I’ve disconnected my Wifi so it won’t auto-update anymore and haven’t tried downgrading the OS as I’ve seen that a lot of people are bricking theirs after 5.3.2.1 launched.
I appreciate that you probably have other things on your to do list I was just wondering xD
Many thanks!
Felix
hello, I have a metro pcs samsung galaxy core prime that is frp locked and have tried some of your tricks and some other ones from other sites and no go on any. i even bought an otg flashdrive, cannot get the apk file to the phone. fyi i am tech savy. Please help
Run the process for a Fire 5 – “Firmware-Downgrade-to-Fire-OS-5.1.2-Supertool”, but then the last reboot the screen goes black and does not load anything.
Dear Rootjunky,
I would like to ask you about a tutorial you did: How to pull your own stock Android firmware from your device
I saw it and tried to do it on my xperia XA F3111. But I stuck on Android_Device_System_Information.zip.
I do not have recovery partition- I dont know how it is possible. I received an error: /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/: No such file or directory
so I edited this tool and changed path to by-name folder to /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.msdc0/by-name/
and I stuck on error: /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.msdc0/by-name/: Permission denied
I think I changed chmod to it but I dont know maybe I didnt do it correcly by
this error persisted:
/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.msdc0/by-name/: Permission denied
so I tried parted to list partitions but I dont have a recovery oartition in it.
Please advise or can we do it together I mean a tutorial How to pull your own stock Android firmware from mine/your device Xperia XA F3111 ?
best regards,
you will have to adb shell and track down that info manually since it is stored in a different location on your device.
