Hello guys,

So, I am extremely frustrated with LG. Besides linger for a lifetime upgrade their phones, yet it seems to create some blocking to simple process root.

I've been researching on the web about the root of Optimus Black (the unit is good, what is bad is the LG) and all processes seem to be complicated.

I need help from you guys to see if I can finally give this blessed root to my device. He is with version 2.3.4 (just the model is P970h),the firmware is the V20a. I Want to apply a custom rom and play with it a bit, since LG has not given up any indicative of whether or not to launch the ICS on it (maybe who knows when Google launched Android 12.1, or the man get to Mars. ..)

I have faced some problems and I will report here to see if they can help me.

Problem # 1:

I can not under any circumstances recognize the phone on my pc (win vista home basic ¬ ¬).

I've tried everything. I downloaded the drivers directly with LG and nothing ... I downloaded the personnel that provided the xda forum and nothing ...The windows is insistently asking such a CDC serial driver (something of the sort ...) and the phone just not recognized.

Already installed, reinstalled the drivers and nothing! I have installed the LG PC sync and nothing to .. (Seems that my phone and my pc just does not want to share the same connection!)

I don´t have another pc (unfortunately) so I can´t install the drivers.

Simply for this reason I can´t install Clockworkmod, or do any procedure that requires root install drivers on pc (root unlock, blackjack, oneclick...)

2nd Problem:

I've been reading that there is a apk root tools for the phone, the Gingerbreak. But apparently this not works on my phone. It is infinitely loading and does not reboot.

I installed the 1.1 and 1.2 versions and nothing!

I run the Root Checker Pro App and get the log:

So can anybody help me to root my phone??

Don't have an LG, i have an Samsung and rooted with this app SuperOneClick (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682), and searching through the forum i saw this thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22495442&highlight=optimus+black#post22495442 ), a user that succeeded root of an Lg Optimus Black.

But I only have an Samsung so I can't guarantee that will work.

Hope to have helped.

Best regards!

[General Questions and Answers] kweinkauf:
Here's what I did.

I was having the same problem, seemingly. I went to Android Central and learned about an app called kingo root.

First, I went to LG and downloaded the drivers for USB connection to my Win7 64 PC. After they loaded, I made sure the E980 was configured to install programs from PC via USB, instead of charge only. Also, I set debugging on. Then, I hooked up the USB cable. Then, a window came up asking if I wanted to use LG Programs, which I replied OK. Then it said I was connected successfully. Went to the PC, installed kingo root (google it) and it ran a program or two that rooted the device. Piece o' cake!

Since then, I downloaded freegee and twrp, rebooted into recovery and installed CM11. KitKat goodness!

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vkillion:
Hello all,

I have an interesting problem I would love some information about. I recently bought an Asus Transformer Pad (TF300T). I have already unlocked the bootloader via the Asus utility, flashed TWRP recovery, and rooted it. Now I'm interested in the possibility of dual-booting.

I know that Ubuntu has support for ARM, but I have no experience installing something like that on a device like this. Ideally, I would install Ubuntu (or another Linux distro that supports ARM) to the external SD card and be able to choose at boot time to boot into Ubuntu or into Android. I have seen that some people did something like this on the TF101, but I don't know if that would still work.

If anyone has any ideas about this, I would appreciate hearing them.

Thanks,

Vincent

hi to help to answer your question, if im correct because we do not have much support for building custom kernels to support dual booting into linux, that is a reason why currently there is zero support towards this feature, but there are alternatives, here is a link

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...MsImNvbS56cHdlYnNpdGVzLmxpbnV4b25hbmRyb2lkIl0.

this link has an application to install linux on your asus tf300t tablet, it is confirmed to work with stock, but has not been tested on a custom rom, this is using the CHRoot method, aka running next to android requiring a vnc viewer to be used to view it and interact with it. this is not a dual boot, until developers on here can get a JB custom kernel that supports dual booting, there will simply be no possibility, plus we do not even have finished NVFlash files yet to help doing this/ unbrick our tablets. i hope this helped, if it did please hit the thx button below :):eek:
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Dual booting for TF300T

I am currently trying to Dual Boot the TF300T with Ubuntu as well with little success.

I've been going from the TF101 Method...

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/ASUS_Eee_Pad_Transformer/How_to_install_Ubuntu/Ubuntu_Install

I have been unable to get Frank'sTools to Run through Windows, or Successfully use OliFE through Linux on my PC.

With OLiFE, Once I enter that I wish to Dualboot in the 2. Flash option, Nothing happens. Though it says it should ask me which system should be default etc. I have gone through the sh files and have tried to tweak them a bit to get the scripts to work, but nothing has worked.

There is a guide here for the TF201 which I am thinking of trying but you have to flash the boot.img whenever you want to switch between the OS by the look of it.

Not sure if it is worth trying though. The main reason why I want Linux is so that I can run DSUME since the current DS Emulator for Android isn't fantastic yet. (Good job so far though guys)

If Anyone has any ideas for how to Dual boot the TF300T, please let me know!!! I don't want to run linux through Android as this would be terrible for emulation :P

P.S. I am still a complete noob at all of this

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] suhailstar:
guies Is it possible to make GS3 to run on CDMA network as some guies in this forum could hack the Verizon GS3 and have made it able to run on GSM network?

has any one tried before? if any one have an idea we can share the info in order to do that so. If you can notice once you use this code *#*#4636#*#* you can find CDMA only and other types of CDMA there and I heard that S GS3 has the ability to run both CDMA and GSM.

Let's give it a try
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
CDMA is an actual built in internal radio. Not every GS3 has it, only the CDMA ones do (Sprint and Verizon). They are global phones, and by that means, its only for GSM networks. I can't make a solely strict AT&T made phone, into a Verizon CDMA phone. That's all hardware
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] babymatteo:
But then all US GS3's share the same hardware or SOC's...so by this running a T999 on the CDMA network should be possible. But then why would you? Tmobile already offers the best plans covering the best network out of all the others?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
All personal opinion on the last part :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] suhailstar:
could you do a favor for me? just give me a software that can amend the radio band as I hardly want to try. From what I understood through reading some info in some forums, Galaxy S3 not like the older phones and it can run both GSM and CDMA and I hope that's right. I just need some help to try this in my international GS3. Let's try we are not going to lose any thing..........
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] babymatteo:
See now thats where you lose it. The international GS3 has a totally different SOC than the US variants, therefore you will not be able to run for any US CDMA network. You can flash any radio you want...but that's only if you want a $700 paperweight ofcourse ;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] suhailstar:
The us variants are WCDMA or CDMA 2000 as I want to try it in my country where the type is CDMA 2000?

so you mean if I flashed a radio that is not compatible with my GS3 it will damage it???? is there any app that can control the radio without out a risk???

have you had a look to this thread Set up Verizon Galaxy S3 as World GSM Phone (confirmed working) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1809314 I mean a way like this or similar to it???
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
No they don't. The T-999 uses an MSM8260a chip, for one. There is no CDMA hardware in the GSM versions.

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

No. An international S3 is completely different from a US GSM S3. Neither has CDMA hardware in them. At all.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] babymatteo:
I thought all US S3's had the Q MSM8960?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
The T-999 uses an MSM8260a which is for all intents and purposes, an MSM8960 without LTE.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] autoprime:
I think only ATT/VERIZON/SPRINT/USCC use MSM8960. T-mobile lacks LTE and went with MSM8260a.

So only the ATT GS3 SGH-I747 would possibly be capable of running on CDMA. The international i9300 would not work on CDMA no matter what.

It MAY be possible to make the Verizon SCH-i535/USCC SCH-R530U version work on both CDMA/GSM. Currently the CDMA i535 works on CDMA 800/1900, international gsm/wcdma 850/900/1800/1900 and domestic gsm 850/1900 but no HSPA+ yet.

tl;dr

only the SCH-R530U, SCH-I535 and SGH-I747 versions are possible candidates of doing both full gsm and cdma.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] babymatteo:
Can you point me to the right direction? Because everywhere i look it says that the T999 does indeed have the MSM8960 :confused:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] autoprime:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30631797&postcount=3

the pdf he links has some good info. seems the SCH-R530U, SCH-I535 and SGH-I747 versions all support both cdma/evdo and 850/900/1800/1900 GSM/WCDMA :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
Keep in mind though that CDMA running on 800/1900 and GSM WCDMA running on 800/1900 are not the same thing.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] autoprime:
indeed.. but if the verizon version can do cdma 800/1900... as well as domestic gsm 850/1900..

and atts version obviously supports all of its own bands... they wouldnt have a different SOC between them both. so it seems its only possible for MSM8960 to support all... yet somehow locking out whats not used by the carrier.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Don_Perrignon:
Guys, even if the Verison S3 works on GSM, that doesn't mean T-Mobile's GSM will work on CDMA. It will not.

If car engine X from car A, fits and works decently well in car B, that DOES NOT mean that car engine Y from car B will fit and work on car A.

You can ask the same question ten different ways and you'll still have the same answer; the T999 will and cannot work on CDMA. Yes, the US S3s have the same hardware, EXCEPT radios.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] autoprime:
We've already accepted this... we're looking at ATT/VZW/USCC only. VZW/USCC will have the best chance of doing both.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] suhailstar:
guise, what are uscc and vzw? Are those US variants? Currently, l'm looking for the gs3 hardware to make sure it's somehow able to run Cdma. What should i look for in it's hardware ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
Yes those are US variants.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] suhailstar:
have you achieved any progress yet?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
On what? This isn't development, it's information..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] levilib:
So far the d2vzw (i535) only works on GSM (2G-EDGE) 850/900/1800/1900 and for WCDMA (3G) it only works on 2100. being that AT&T & T-Mobile don't use 2100 for 3G, you won't be able to access 3G/HSPA/+ on this phone but you will get GSM calling, SMS and 2G EDGE since this phone supports all 4 bands.

So, unlike what you said, there is no WCDMA in any of the 4 bands you said there is, only 2100.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjczon:
I know it has been already 4 years ago someone posted in this thread, but for me this issue just became active. My 81 yo father-in-law has now a old Verizon flip phone. With this we have some issues that sometimes we just get a busy signal while he is not on the phone. Recently we gave him a Samsung S3 SCH-I747 (AT&T-branded) with an monthly subscription of EasyGO (AT&T network) but also with this we had some issues as it seems he lives in a blindspot, although the map shows he should have 4G/LTE HD-Voice coverage. Right now we are thinking to try our path with Verizon, so I was wondering if I could just obtain a Verizon SIM and send it to him activated. For me the nearest Verizon store is a mile away and for him a 61 mile drive. He would need some assistance to change the SIM but that shouldn't be a problem. Internet would need some more work,but if at least the phone part would work the internet would be an issue that we can solve later (and maybe even gets send when he places the SIM in the phone).

He lives a 12 hours drive away so it's not around the corner.

Thanks

I think Verizon uses SIM cards for LTE only.

[HTC One V] djnermal:
Is this even possible on a rooted phone? I have been scouring the interwebz looking for an answer that will allow me to set up this phone as a hotspot for my iPad.

So far all I have found was some stuff about Virgin Mobile charging you and extra $15 a month for hotspot service which is BS since I just got rid of my Optimus V, which had free hotspot and tethering, for this phone.

Any help or answers would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Oh and the real kick in the crotch is that I was only paying $25 a month but after upgrading I have to be at the $35 a month plan. Worth it for the phone, not worth it if it now lacks a hotspot.

Yesterday my Incredible S wasn't able to charge.I had to move the usb cable to get a red light then the red light will disappear directly so I thought the problem was from the usb port. Today I bought one from a shop and changed it. When I placed it to recharge,I couldn't boot it and the red light started blinking. The red light stopped and I couldn't turn on my incredible S.

What does this mean?

Is the battery dead? Bricked phone?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] pepp67:
1) When you got the red light to come on yesterday, did you wiggle the cable near the computer/charger or did you wiggle the cable where it attaches to the phone?

2) Are you able to keep the red light on after connecting the cable or does it always only stay on for a few seconds or so?
[General Questions and Answers] blacklce:
Make sure if you are charging the phone on your PC usb ports that you use the back usb ports and not the front. Usually there isnt as much power to front usb ports and charging doesnt work very well. I try to avoid charging with my computer anyway since it always seems to give problems, especially if the battery is older (1+ year) so i use direct AC to charge. Make sure you dont have any bent pins in the phone usb port and Also make sure the USB cable you are using is the one that came with your phone, i have two USB cables myself, one for my droid x and one for my droid razr, both cables work for the X but only the razr one works to charge my razr (even though it shows charging with the other cable, its charging is so low that the battery still drops)

[Nexus 7 General] espionage724:
As do custom ROM's and kernels apparently. So does opening the device and taking out a screw. But since this is a Nexus device, from what I understand, you can unlock the bootloader and root without any concern for warranty (don't quote me on this). Custom ROM's and kernels however, idk. But if you are at all considering turning the device in for RMA, you should factory restore anyway (Google provides factory images, and you can lock the bootloader again).

As for this guide, it's basically telling us "you can root, you just have to unlock the bootloader", and this isn't anything new at all :/ . I came here thinking this might be a solution for people who might want to root without loosing all their data during the unlock process...

Also as for relocking the bootloader, in my opinion, you may as well leave it unlocked. If at all in the future you decide to try a custom Kernel or ROM (maybe), you'll have to then go through the process of re unlocking your bootloader and thus, wiping everything again...

And for some final notes, the tool is already pretty popular, so most newcomers should be able to find it, with a little searching on their own :) In any case though, an actual guide that lays out how to root

without a program

If you live in the U.S. you are protected from such warranty rules by the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act of 1975 (15 U.S.C. § 2301 et seq.). The only thing that legally voids your warranty is damaging the device. As long as you do not damage it you can do just about anything you want to with it because it belongs to YOU (an oft forgotten principle called "property rights"). Unlock it, root it, open it up etc. Just don't damage it.

Unless they can show how you damaged the device, they must, by law, honor the warranty!

Yeah, if you soft-brick it by giving the wrong permission on system files, you damaged it. But the nice folks here at XDA will show you how to recover (and yeah, I managed to achieve Boot-Loop on my N7 within an hour of opening the box...TWICE...:D )
