For Those of You Who Have an LG Optimus Slider

NOTE: YOU WANT TO FLASH AREAROMQ, THEN FLASH GINGERKERNEL ON YOUR SLIDER. IT WILL WORK.

Special thanks to emkeene for doing hard work.

How to retrieve the MSL (aka SPC) for the LG Optimus Q (Model LGL55C)

Disclaimer: I am formally not responsible for anything that may happen to your phone while you are performing this procedure. With that in mind performing this is totally at your discretion. This method has been extensively tested by myself only, on a rooted LG Optimus Q (LGL55C) running Area Rom v1.3.

This method requires aLogCat (free download from the market).

Download aLogCat here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsIm9yZy5qdGIuYWxvZ2NhdCJd

Instructions:

1) Open the aLogCat app.

2) Press Menu and choose "Filter." Type in "D/SpecialCharSequenceMgr" without the quotation marks. Then press Okay to confirm.

3) Press Home. Go to your dialer and enter ##3282#.

4) You'll be prompted for your Service Code (MSL). Enter 000000. Your phone should tell you "Wrong Service Code". This is normal.

5) Now press Home again and go back to aLogcat. Look towards the bottom of the screen. In the line "D/SpecialCharSequenceMgr( 850): MSL = 123456" the six digit number showing after the = is your MSL, where 123456 is in this example.

*The 850 may be 3 other digits on your phone. This line still contains your correct MSL.

There you have it! I searched the internet for hours this evening to find this information.

This method is not my work. It has been adapted to work on the Optimus Q from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1421638 by sarcasmsiempre and marley183rd. Big thanks to these people for posting this helpful information, originally for the Virgin Mobile Optimus Slider.

I followed the guide to downgrade and get S-off. Then I immediately flashed my Evo 3D to Cricket. So will flashing the newest GB firmware (I think its 2.17) remove my flash to Cricket?
[HTC EVO 3D] fredrick1213:
Anyone?
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
No, I upgraded and everything works fine.....
[HTC EVO 3D] netwokz:
no, flashing any roms will keep you on Cricket. I've had cricket for almost a year now and i'm a flashoholic... If you want to go back to sprint, there is more you have to do. Bottom line, flash away!
[HTC EVO 3D] fredrick1213:
Alright, thanks guys!
[HTC EVO 3D] 808souljah:
i have a evo3d flashed to boost, and doing s-off messed up my flash, but before that, I upgraded from 2.08ruu to 2.17 ruu, and had no problems.... i personally have not wanted to flash firmware for any rom since downgrading messed up my flash, but you can easily flash any rom, ICS, or GB, and should have no problems
[HTC EVO 3D] fredrick1213:
The reason I asked is because I think I saw that the 2.17 firmware is required to run certain ROMs??? Can anyone confirm this?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] schollianmj:
So I got my Razr two days ago and rooted it right off the bat, but now I found that the GPS in it does not work and am returning it tomorrow for a replacement. Sadly, i haven't been around this device enough so I don't know how to unroot it...

I have RSD Lite, and I just downloaded the file:

CDMA DROID RAZR

Fastboot

Branding: Verizon Wireless

Market Segment: VRZ USA

Version: 6.11.744

Android Version: 2.3.5

DHD: 11 TA-3

ROM Type: Service?

Radio Version: CDMA_03.1C.76 LTE_06.35.08

Bootloader Version: N/A

Webtop version: N/A

: from the link in the Moto Tools (For Noobs) thread... Is that the correct file to flash? I have a decent amount of experience with RSD from my time with my Photon, but I just want to make sure that is the correct file.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] spc_hicks09:
.744 is an old OTA but you can fastboot back to that, then just OTA up to .181 before you send it back.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] schollianmj:
So that is the correct file then. Cool.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dellenrules:
Download supersu from the market.

It has an option that will remove root completely from your phone.

FYI

It can also hide root as well as provide you with a whole lot of other cool root features.

Quite possible the easiest way to remove root that I know of. I tried it and it works.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] stgeorge88:
EDIT: SOLVED BY NAND RESTORE

This happened after an attempt to flash darkraider on top of att ICS RUU. Phone got stuck at boot animation for ICS roms and HTC screen for GB roms. Tried reverting using RUUs (CINGULAR GB and ATT ICS) but it doesn't help.

Also tried flashing boot.img from the customized ROMs without success.

It was a Canadian Rogers Raider with S-OFF and unlocked bootloader. Any help would be appreciated!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] NismoZ:
This happened to me... What i did is flash stock boot.img kernel first through the htc vivid tool... Then flash the stock ruu. Zip to the phone... Hopefully you made a nand backup because you'll have to reatore your back up
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] stgeorge88:
Thanks for the reply; Im just to report back that a restore worked!

Still baffled tho. Thought RUU is the ultimate reverting tool. Anyway another great reason to do backup!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ChunD.K:
Hi,Stuck boot anim。。。 It happened to me too

And I found the reason。Because of that TOUCH RECOVERY。

So,I tried to use RUU to restore。But it doesn't work。I flashed AT&T RUU,then swith to Australian RUU again and again。

Finally, I knew。This couldn't work!

Then I tried to change the CID。change super CID 11111111 to any CID you figure out。Like 987654321

Then It works!! But My Velocity can not use the SuperCID anymore。

and in my opinion, I think it's caused by TOUCH RECOVERY :D:D:D

And you‘re chinese too? aren‘t you?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] stgeorge88:
Nihao :)

Interesting cuz I was using the twrp touch recovery to flash darkraider on top if at&t ics ruu.

I didn't change cid. After a nand restore now everything works fine.

Funny thing is the backup was done in twrp so I used that to restore then used the at&t ics ruu t. After that I installed wcxrecovery and darkraider. I was indeed suspecting somethingwrong with the touch recoverycuz that vs wcx is the only difference from the guide.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ChunD.K:
I've see Nihao:p:p:p:p

So ,You are noT Chinese. Right?:o:o
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeroRilix:
This thread has been brought to you by stgeorge88. Who would like to remind you, if you are going to mess around on a phone after rooting, make sure you do a nandroid backup before messing with anything and finding out the RUU will not help and then finding out your screwed.

Lol just kiddin around :p

lol thanks for help making the point loud and clear! but seriously the nand backup indeed saved the day.

Where can I find a copy of a nand backup so I can apply it to my vivid. I'm stuck on boot anim and didn't back up my own. Live and learn I guess.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Joshua.t.buck:
Sorry, got it up again with ruu...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Joshua.t.buck:
But for some reason, every time I apply a rom and gapps, I get stuck at the animation. With cwm or the other recovery, doesn't matter which one...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] HUSDOG:
I saw this thread just now. I own a HTC Velocity 4G. The Aussie version of the vivid and the same thing happened to me but the problem for me is that i am not S-OFF. When i try to use the RUU i get error 140 bootloader error. I don't understand the problem could one of you guys help me out. Walk me through what i should do.

Many thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ipagan10:
I don't think you're going to be able to use an ruu to solve your problem because your rom version is higher than the ruu, but since you're s-on, when you flash a rom, do you flash the boot.img before in fastboot because some roms boot without the boot.img flashed, but others won't. If that doesn't work you'll have to s-off because your phone won't let the ruu work for a downgrade.

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Just in cases you decide not to revert to stock;)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Joshua.t.buck:
I'm a little wiser now and I'm sure I'll have to go s off to get any further.

Thanks for helping.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] P7M8:
I'm currently running BAMF 1.10 Cubed. It's got everything I want except stock VZW VVM. I don't like the aftermarket VVM apps.

Looking for a ROM with good battery life, VZW VVM and wireless tether. I've run Thunderstick and liked it but hear that the current ROM has battery life issues.

I don't keep up with the latest and greatest. Just want a good ROM I can flash and then leave it alone. I don't like to keep upgrading all of the time.

Thanks!

Try bully desensed. It has working wireless tether but I'm not to sure about the vvm. It's a great rom and fast as hell.

[Android Apps and Games] Dodgylegs:
Hi Guys

I'm hoping someone can possibly please answer a quick question for me about the storage on the Ice Cream Sandwich?

I'm coming to the One X from a HTC Sensation XL - both unrooted.

On my Sensation XL, my Pocket (Read It Later) is using 5mb and on the One X is using 100mb - with the same reading list. Ditto with Flipboard - Sensation XL 29mb, One X 69mb.

Is this an ICS thing because I'm baffled. is the way Android manages apps different on ICS?

Really hope someone can make me understand because I'm at a loss!

Thank you as always guys.
[Android Apps and Games] mkrishna:
Hi,

I think its the way ICS reports app storage. It includes app storage on phone/USB AND data storage on USB, that should explain why the size appears bloated to you?

Thanks very much mate, really appreciate your time. Thank you.

there are a few websites that have root methods and roms this site vmroms and android forums i been searching as well for the latest and greatest so the search continues so you just have to read because there is no exact location to look android forums has one and vmroms and here you look in the 3d section. hope this helps.
[General Questions and Answers] GAlstone:
Can someone please help get sound when my device reboots on. I am using root explorer and do not see hidden file on my root explorer. I want to put some personal boot sound animation when the phone restarts, as one now I have no sound at all when it reboots. Any suggestions? thank you
[General Questions and Answers] tjlawson09:
are you rooted?

Rooted??? When using the root explorer I have it on mount R/W is this correct? You asked if I was rooted can you explain,please? Thanks for your prompt response.
[General Questions and Answers] tjlawson09:
sorry for the delay...i mean do you have superuser or supersu installed correctly to obtain root on your phone? basically you need what is called "root access" to use root explorer. check the forum of the device you are using to find a guide to root or unlock ur device.
[General Questions and Answers] GAlstone:
Ohh, Okay I do have super user and have access. I was able to change my reboot animation, however, was unable to change any sound animations. Can you please explain to me step by step. Again I was able to change the boot animation when it starts up but no sound. Thank you
[General Questions and Answers] tjlawson09:
ok lets see if i can help more...try putting the android_audio.mp3 file in the same folder as the boot animation. make sure you have read/write turned on in root explorer or it wont stick. it has to be called android_audio.mp3 or it won't work. and make sure your volume is turned up before you shut down ur phone. if that doesnt work you are going to have to find out if the rom you are using supports boot animation sounds. pm me if you need more assistance.
[General Questions and Answers] GAlstone:
Thank for all the help, I did try that and did not work..ugggg,

the rom I am using is this " [15.May.2012] NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.1 (Kernel: tytung_HWA_r2.3-uniMAC)." Please give some more information it's driving me crazy.. lol

I can't seem to find it in my app draw. It's still listed if I open up apps under settings, and its also shown in TiB. I have my phone rooted and installed the .82 leaked ruu. But NEVER debloated the voice recorder. Ideas ? I use it frequently on my last phone
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] powerwagon:
att made it inaccessible, but there is a way to get it on your homescreen. Get es explorer...open and go to the 5th menu button over "app manager" I believe. Then click on "category" at top and click on "system files" in the menu that pops up. Scroll down to the voice recorder and hold it until you see menu pop up...choose shortcut and it'll put the app on your homescreen. There is no way that I know of that will actually put it in your launcher though.

anyone experience this?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xda666:
/replying to old post but maybe someone else will be looking for an answer/ Default voice recorder produces horrible sound quality because it saves the clips in a low quality 3gp format. If you're looking for something better, there are some 3rd party apps, that allow you to save audio, for example, in wav(es).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v5HMeca:
I don't want to use APK Multi-Tools or APK_Manager or whatever. I want to know exactly what those tools are doing in order to recompile the system apk while keeping the original signature.

What I initially did...

apktool d "%~dpnx1.apk" "%~dpnx1"

...modify files here...

apktool b "%~dpnx1" "%~dpnx1.apk"

But obviously that's unsigned. I need to sign it, but I want to use the original signature, which I'm guessing is the META-INF stuff, right?

So I attempted this...

apktool d "%~dpnx1.apk" "%~dpnx1"
7za x -o"%~dpnx1-signature" "%~dpnx1.apk" META-INF -r

...modify files here...

apktool b "%~dpnx1" "%~dpnx1.apk"
7za a -tzip "%~dpnx1.apk" "%~dpnx1-signature/*" -mx9

You'll notice I now use 7-Zip to pull out META-INF from the original APK and then insert it back into the recompiled one afterwards.

The only other thing I can think of would be to go with my first method, but then use 7-zip to pull out the compiled files from the unsigned apk and insert them into the signed apk. I haven't tried that yet, but it will be the next one I go with. Every time this fails, though, I have to do a nandroid restore, and it's getting a little frustrating, which is why I'm asking you folks.

--

edit: I got it all figured out.

For those interested, after running "apktool b" (to build/compile), ignore the output zip. Instead go into the source directory and there is now a build directory. In that is an apk directory. Simply add your changed files to the original untouched APK (if you modified any XML files, then replace resources.arsc; if you added anything to smali, then replace classes.dex; if you added any XML files, then you need to include those as well; for me, i copied resources.arsc, classes.dex, and one new XML file). I used the following command:

zip -9 ..\SystemUI.apk res\layout\status_bar.xml classes.dex resources.arsc

I use zip instead of 7za for cosmetic reasons. You can also use "7za a -tzip etc..." if you want.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lreyes:
hello :) i know how you feel well....i never did.

you keep a backup and a copy of your system apk and once you did your changes look in your copy and go to /res and delete the destinations you modded and putted them in the modded apk now look into your modded apk file in /res and take the files you deleted from the copy apk and move them to the copy apk and your all set.

if this didnt understand ill show you an awesome thread that will help you :)
