Root Quick question on flashing

[SpartanJ59]

Ok so, I have a question on this, how may i make a backup of my current phone to the state it is in so i can flash back at any time?

Use the lte 2nd init recovery app which is your clockworkmod recovery to make a backup.

It will backup your phone exactly as it is now.

1. Were you able to make your backup?

2. Which of the recoveries are you using?

the touch one...and yeah

the touch one...and yeah

I haven't been able to get the touch one to work for me.

So all I can recommend is to restore your backup then see if someone can help you get it working or you might have to use the older one like I do.

looks like i gotta unbrick but i own a mac...

Same thing happened to me i had to use the uroot/unbrick method

 

[bnb25]

what i had to do is put a rom on my sd card. and flash it to get out of recovery. seem if you install the touch recovery after already having the nontouch recovery. it will keep booting back into the recovery.

After unbricking you can go into system settings and do a factory reset and that would be the final step. It's just not mentioned in the unbrick guide.

Is this required?

You don't have to do it if you don't want. I do it because sammyz says it's easier to root afterwards.

I guess it depends I've been trying to root for the past hour with no luck even though I did factory reset after unbrick.

If you do factory reset after unbrick, it removes everything including recovery and returns phone to factory.
