[GIEFROOT] Help with rooting for locked bootloader topic

Hello,
I've been conversating with zxz0O0 about rooting our E3, because Z3 is possible to root.
The device should be also rootable, but no luck yet.
He sent me a file, which is supposed to support E3.
Unfortunately it isn't working for me, maybe you'll be more lucky.

So I would like you to test it
1. Download Giefroot V3
2. Download the file and put it to "giefroot"/files/ and overwrite
3. Flash an old firmware (either .1.26 or .1.29)
4. Run install.bat

If it won't work, please provide the folloving intructions to the giefroot thread.

Quote:

Device model / firmware version Kernel version (cat /proc/version) adb shell "ls -l /data/local/tmp/" adb shell "cat /data/local/tmp/giefrootlog" adb shell "cat /proc/last_kmsg"

[Q] Locked in boot loop and cannot access Internal Storage to flash new custom ROMs topic

I have been tweaking around with my phone and it has finally given in. I can access CWM Recovery Mode but cannot access internal storage via a computer. Mounting USB Storage in Recovery Mode also does not work. I am not quite sure if my Internal Memory is corrupted or if I should just format my internal memory and try to mount it again.

Suggestions?

[Q] Struck on bootloop. No usb debugging. Locked bootloader. topic

The power button on my N5 started acting up, like if i even press it once it will show me the power off option. After that it started to randomly reboot. Now its reboots every 2 sec showing the google logo. When it try to put it in recovery mode, it again reboots. Randomly like 20 in 1 trys it stops in the recovery mode.
1. I tried to factory data reset. I got an error msg something like " Cant mount cache ".
2. Called both Lg and goole for a replacement, but my warranty got over.
3. I unlocked the bootloader using fastboot and tried to flash stock rom, but after the first reboot bootloader command the bootloader again comes to locked status. Still after all process the phone reboots and gets to the booting animation, but it does not move past that( even after an hour).

Device was in full stock condition when this happened. Someone please help me out!! :confused:

How to burn ROM on a new no-contract locked phone topic

I am in the USA and I bought a no-contract phone.
When I try to turn it on and insert my own SIM card from abroad I can't use the phone.
Is there any way to flash it with a new ROM so I will be able to use it with a SIM card from a different operator?
Thanks!
