Root [Sprint] (L720t) Odin & TWRP stock

Uploading a stock backup for TWRP 2.7.0.1 ... you'll need to have this exact recovery for this to work.. tested on my and my girlfriends L720t..

Okay this will take a minute to upload on my end. And your end will take a while to download. Try to be on Wi-Fi.. I know this may not be very easy if you don't have in home Wi-Fi.. lol

After I get you a link.. and you make sure your recovery is TWRP 2.7.0.1 make a backup of just one small partition(making the folders for us to follow).. like cache then reboot and go to a root file explorer.. like root browser or es file explorer. And copy/paste the whole file/folders I'm uploading in sdcard/TWRP/backups. Right next to the one you backed up.
Reboot back to TWRP and go to restore menu. Make sure the backup is there and restorable.. do a wipe of everything except internal storage.
Flashing may cause some slight fc's.. (force closes) this is to be expected.. it may even prevent you from singing in.. still try.. have patients.. if you can't at all.. (like the keyboard itself is fc-ing) do a battery pull and boot recovery. Wipe davlic and cache. Try again. It should still give problems.. but stable enough to sign in to gmail. Afterwards.. go directly to sprint zone.

(In this order) update prl, then firmware then software. (If not on NC6 this will update you to NC6 4.4.2)

Again go through the updates. And reboot.

Let google do its thing.. and your all set. Stock rooted and you can back this up as your own and get rid of mine.. lol ;)..

@Jackroo .. this files kinda large.. so give me awhile to upload. K :)

I've been having the worst time trying to get it to upload. I've found a solution though. I have yo put it on my pc and upload from there. I'll have a link tonight buddy. ;)


Oh right on and no problem. BTW I've seen you everywhere: Android Central, XDA (where I just came from posting right after you on that 720T thread) and of course here. You spread your tech knowledge around lol :)

Just wanted you to know i am eagerly awaiting your rooted stock firmware as well. I did try and flash the unrooted one you posted and wanted to let you know it had some issues. For me atleast. I could not turn on my wifi. Also i think there was an update wanting to install.

The Wi-Fi issue is new to me.. I'll have to reflash and retest. The update might be because your on any other baseband than NC6.. not sure.. I do know I had some fc's after but a quick update to my prl and all that made everything fine. I'll still look into this. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. :)

Not a problem. It did save my phone after i messed with too much stuff and nearly ruined it. Im running sacs rom right now for the regular L720. Everything seems to work just fine on it other than it took away my hotspot. That and it is also trying to push an update.


There's a way to get rid of that nagging update. I believe you can download a root file explorer and modify a file name. I forget now but I did it with my S3

Had today off and decided to mess with my phone some more. Flashed this stock rom again and tried everything i could think of but still no wifi. Downloaded the NC6 stock rom from sammobile and had the same issue. No idea whats wrong. Ended up flashing the stock NAF from their site and then updated to NC6. Everything worked fine. Rooted using towel root and used your step by step walkthrough on flashing twrp using rom installer. So atleast i can always go back to stock or rooted stock.

Wish I had access to a PC to do all that stuff. I rely heavily on my phone for everything. You wouldn't happen to have the ability to upload a flashable Odin stock rooted would you, godfall?
