[LG Nitro HD] donharden2002:
We are all still trying to figure out if the bootloader is unlocked. As of right now it appears that none of us know the answer. I've tried a few ways to get cwm on it but I'm not knowledgeable enough to really dive into it.

Hopefully soon we will have some answers. It feels like it's been forever since the phone has been released. Time slows when you don't have the answers and for a flashaholic like myself every day is a struggle.

Someone please help.

if lg are smart, they would put the Recovery Rom on LG software updater! currently if you messed up your phone and unable to boot, there is no way to reset to factory stock rom!
[LG Nitro HD] akfritz:
Dual-Channel RAM isn't really a hardware improvement, it's more of a stop-gap technology since CPU speeds have highly exceeded the Memory access speeds. So with Dual-Channel you sacrafice half of your RAM to improve the speed at which your CPU can access that memory.

Depending on the application this can be good or bad. If you're using applications that are memory hogs then you've now limited your overall memory capacity... so your memory now has to dump more often. However if you're using low memory applications you've now improved the speed at which your CPU can access them so everything is quicker.
[LG Nitro HD] gte460z:
Actually dual channel RAM does not sacrifice half the RAM, it just adds the ability to simultaneously write to two locations "theoretically" doubling your bandwidth. You are probably thinking of a RAID 1 hdd configuration where you do sacrice half of your hdd space. When you buy/install a 2x4gb dual channel memory kit, you are able to utilize all 8gb not just 4gb.

As for how much this will affect performance, i think the fact that the HP TouchPad, T-Mobile Galaxy S II, Galaxy S II Skyrocket, HTC Vivid, NTT DoCoMo and Galaxy S II LTE all use the same memory and processor (and run just fine) shows that this device will not be memory bandwidth limited.
[LG Nitro HD] akfritz:
Hmmm, OK thanks for the clarification... You're right, I just went back and re-read up on the subject of dual-channel architecture. When it called for identical memory modules I must have orginally made the assumption that it worked the same as a raid hdd config. I guess I won't be so critical on the subject now :) Thanks for the feedback, sorry if I confused anyone!

Just buy a galaxy Nexus and enjoy.
[LG Nitro HD] repherb:
Then where would all the fun be of unlocking a new device, splitting it open to reveal its' guts and extracting then recombining it for our own use? this device has so much potential, it'd be sad to just buy another device to use and "enjoy", as you so put it.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
yes, i will return this $150 phone, cancel my account with att, pay the cancel fees & restocking charge, then head on over to verizon, spend $290+ on a googoo phone + a higher monthly bill so i can have an unlocked bootloader.
[LG Nitro HD] gte460z:
Well adb is a bust for getting to recovery or bootloader mode. It seems the commands (adb reboot recovery/bootloader) just reboot the phone from a command line and from shell. Power and down volume button combo gets you to the software reset menu which i would expect from the recovery command so I am guessing LG has changed the commands.
[LG Nitro HD] Made2Last:
There's an unlocked version available that will work on T-Mobile/at&t.
[LG Nitro HD] netnerd:
yeah, like I going to give up my LTE for nexus.
[LG Nitro HD] harolds:
You are referring to sim free not bootloader unlocked

There is nothing anyone can say that would change my mind, i am sticking with my Optimus LTE. I have a very good feeling that once this gets custom ICS ROMs etc. this phone will really be one to own.
[LG Nitro HD] LiViD:
Ditto on that. I just got the Optimus LTE myself and it's been a great device so far. I am a little disappointed with the lack of a notification LED, but still, it's a heck of a lot better than the old Legend that I was using.
[LG Nitro HD] repherb:
the notification LED is not a deal breaker for me because it's just another power sucker. why add another notification device? right? it's like adding a yellow strobe to your car when you already have four-ways, needed? no. lol!!
[LG Nitro HD] keenz:
battery sucker. a small LED. unlikely to affect your phones life span at all :)

It would be a nice feature.

The one thing I cannot stand about this phone is the USB slot being on the top.
[LG Nitro HD] schwin97:
The USB plug location doesn't bother me. Top or bottom is not a big difference. I sure would like the led though.
[LG Nitro HD] dinan:
LED would be nice but it doesn't really bother Galaxy owners. They also have the option of BLN kernels (the capacitive buttons lighting up for notifications). I don't see this phone getting that kind of dev support though, sadly =\
[LG Nitro HD] repherb:
now THAT would be cool on this phone! Have the light for each softkey represent a function (ie: messages/emails slowing flashing the home key)
[LG Nitro HD] LiViD:
That's a matter of opinion. I prefer to have it as my phone is not on me 24/7. What if I had missed an important phone call or work email? There is no way of knowing that unless I press the power button and look for the indicators on top. HTC has this feature on all their phones. I guess it's something that I have been accustom to having. At least it's better than Motorola's annoying beeping for low battery...
[LG Nitro HD] repherb:
oh God, i second that wholeheartedly!!!
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
To me it's more like adding interior light to the car, including lights on speedometer. It's a must feature and if one doesn't like there should always be an option to disable it. Not the other way around when you simply don't have it.

What does a notification led have to do with whether the bootloader is unlocked?

We got bit off topic regarding what we would like to see if we achieved an unlocked bootloader and were able to customize a ROM. Sorry 'bout that.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program....erm...Thread.... :)
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
LMAO!!! Alright, so the first agenda on successfully achieving Unlock will be to somehow get some kind of notification on this phone...n I agree on that too :D N with that we carry on to trying. Any news from ryden from the Thrill 4G team? Any way to port CWM to the phone?
[LG Nitro HD] repherb:
last i read he has it, but has no guarantees. scared, so scared.......
[LG Nitro HD] jboxer:
LG's company policy is to never lock the bootloader. If it is an LG Android phone the bootloader is unlocked.
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
But then why is it super complicated just to get to either a recovery or put recovery on this phone? If the bootloader is unlocked, there'll bound to be many bricking in the process of modifications. Unless you know where LG is hiding the recovery mode at? :D
[LG Nitro HD] gte460z:
Our difficulties booting into stock/CWM recovery mode is not because of a locked bootloader. It is because the phone does not have a recovery mode (that we have discovered) to boot into which poses certain difficulties in injecting CWM.
[LG Nitro HD] corelle:
Help please!!!

Ok guys i sold my S4 for the note3 or oppo N1 and grabbed this off swappa for the mean time but i can not find a way to put custom recovery all adb and rom manager ect is not working it never took me this long to get a custom recovery on a phone! please help i know this phone is old but it will do until those drop??

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Skimp Killah:
What would I need to try something like this. Someone had the short press is down, long press is select idea, which i thought was brilliant. I'm downloading umbuntu right now as it seems that is the preferred platform for this kinda ****. What I'm wondering is clockwork any different across different phones? Or is it the same code for every phone? I remeber on my epic someone edited CWM so the font was purple and you didn't have to scroll all the way down to select 'ok'. It seems to me like editing CWM so that short press on the power button moves down the menu, and long press selects, wouldn't be too terribly difficult and it seems like a semi-fun learning experience, and it would be nice to have a usable recovery. Anyone wanna point me in the right direction? I'm looking at you Calvin.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thelgow:
Never heard of umbuntu.

Also read more carefully, there is no one on the forums named Calvin doing any dev work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] teookie:
Google "porting cwr to other devices". Its faily involved to get set up.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] andTab:
You're probably best off working on Clavin's CWM, since we know his works for flashing the KF.

Be careful though - TWRP bricked the KF when they did a backup and restore.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pyrostic:
it was my idea. I can't believe someone actually listened to what I had to say.

---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------

It was a soft brick, we used a dongle that is the equivilent of an Atrix factory cable (google teamblackhat cable) and it got me right back into fastboot.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] damianarnold:
You bad man :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Skimp Killah:
I thought it was genius in its simplicity, because usually the most simple solution is the best. So it seems that editing cwm may be a bit above me at the moment, lets say I wanted to do something like editing a ROM, something simple like deleting a few apks from Calvin's cm7 and maybe changing a few XML files to affect the appetance. I'm running the latest unbuntu on my laptop, obviously the android and Java sdks, but what would I use to open the ROM files up and edit them? I've heard of the kitchen, but it says it doesn't support the kindle.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
u don't need a rom kitchen to delete some apks.

sit back n enjoy the show. at this point we need the pros, when everything works u can start llearning.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] teookie:
https://github.com/pershoot/android_bootable_recovery/blob/gingerbread/default_recovery_ui.c

Looks like lines 56-102 handle key events. Looks like it would be easy to make presses on the power button return HIGHLITE_DOWN, the hard part is making long presses return SELECT_ITEM. Is there a key event called KEY_POWER_LONGPRESS or something? Anyone know where the key events are defined? If there is no predefined long press key event then code will be needed that defines one.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] andTab:
Alternatively, wouldn't it be possible to have an auto press HIGHLITE_DOWN every 2+ seconds (without any user input) and have the power button remain KEY_POWER_LONGPRESS as is.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Skimp Killah:
What about the touchscreen? I know people are trying to get the team win recovery, but CWM will respond to the soft keys, usually by going back. Could we spoof cwm into thinking we had soft keys?

On on my Nexus menu moves down, back is back, and search is select. Would it be possible to have any screen input serve as select?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] teookie:
Yes, from what I can gather that is possible. The real devs are working on it. From what I can tell, me and everyone else in this particular thread are beginners who don't really know much, lol. A working recovery will most likely come from TWRP, jackpotclavin, DooMlord, or one of the other legit devs. :rolleyes:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tex321:
I think it is really not cool to imply that the people working on this are not legit devs.

I do not now them, but they are attempting something to make people lives easier and not charging anything for it. It does not mater their experience, they are being developers to this community.

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------

I am not a developer, but since CWM already worked on this device I believe this solution will come sooner than others, good luck.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] death2all110:
Exactly. Thank you tex321. That's why I cant stand it when people think the only 'real devs' are ones with the 'Recognized Developer' tag under their names. Some of us other devs have lives outside of xda so we have limited time to contribute.

Oh and I *may* work on getting amon_ra.

Edit: I may try 4EXT instead. the amon_ra fork i looked at only has touch scrolling. but then again our power button would suffice for a 'select'
[Kindle Fire Android Development] foxdog66:
That actually sounds pretty cool, touch scrolling and power button to select.... That would remove my fear of "oops, i accidentally touched wipe" and.... "yeah, i only hafta press power button about a dozen times to get to option i want" :p
[Kindle Fire Android Development] death2all110:
got amon_ra to build!! testing in a few!!

UPDATE:

Hmm. thats odd. it didnt boot. ill mess with it after my finals.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] teookie:
Sorry guys, I.meant no disrespect. If you reread my post you'll see that I was talking about myself, and I guess I was projecting a little on everyone else as well. My bad. Looks like I made to big of an assumption.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] death2all110:
Its cool man. No harm no foul ;)

But.... in related news.... IT STILL WONT BOOT *cries*
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Groundhack:
I have an entire android dev setup and have no clue where to even start learning this stuff you guys do. That's why it amazes me with the progress you guys make
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
What does it do when it doesn't boot?

Can you adb shell?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] death2all110:
just reboots right back to fast boot. acts like it did when my first kernels wouldnt boot.

Update:

Still nothing. This is about my 12th build and still doing what it did in the beginning! Ugh! Any way to debug? (I doubt it.) As it starts to boot then reboots to fastboot.

And 4EXT is a no go because its closed source.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
Gosh I have no clue, which kernel are you using? Would page size have anything to do with this? Recovery isn't my thaaang
[Kindle Fire Android Development] death2all110:
the stock kernel. even tried the one in your cwm. and page size of 4096. I'm giving up.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
What's your process of flashing thesse recoveries?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] death2all110:
the usual fastboot boot boot.img. i even did fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
And you're doing fastboot oem bootmode 5001

Then fastboot reboot?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] death2all110:
yeah if i actually flash it i change the idme bootmode to 5001 and then reboot. it acts the same as just doing the fastboot boot method. but it bootloops untill i plug in my fastboot cable.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
no need to spoof soft keys, just add touch events to the input thread. I'm doing that in mine, in the future i want to add in swipe up/down scrolling for nav, but will start with tap to move down. Already CWM has the ability to read input events, you just have to add the cases and such for EV_ABS (my thread explains a bit http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1394509 ) Tap is really simple cuz you just add the if/else for touch event ID. Swipe is a bit more tricky because then you need to add the ability to read xy coordinates. For scrolling itd be as simple as read start xy and end xy, compare, if start > end = up, start < end = down. (little bit more complicated but you get the idea)

A few weeks ago i got a new back cover of the HTC 7 pro while mine was the paint going off. and i just leave the first one as it is, and used the new one for some weeks now and i must say its the same faulty hardware, the metal is good, but the paint is going so easy off. and i handle my unit with care, really care! now i have scrubed all the silver paint from the first one and it shines now like a new one. and the letters where fallen out to before i modified it. so if somebody has the same phone and problems, this is what you could make it to :) and for the future, HTC don't paint the back cover any more, please. with just a little sweat on it it goes easily off!

i uploaded some pictures, of one piece like it is before, one after. and then the two side by side...

I respond to these threads trying to help. The user (op) is at square one and has no clue what to do. Regardless of how many sticky threads or putting stuff in your signature to help inform users of how to get help and what the rules are, they still just randomly flash things and say "It doesn't work" without telling you what didn't work.

Personally, I don't see this issue as often on other forums. Maybe xda-developers has a power that draws in clueless newbs that won't listen to anyone or read.

If another 15yo emails me about helping with kernel stuff and has no clue what shell scripting is, I'm going to bail from XDA.
