Anybody good with scripts? More specifically a postrecoveryboot.sh so we can avoid any potential boot loops that tend to happen on LG phones lately if an error happens when exiting recovery?

Re: Progress made with custom recovery for p769BLK

Are you rooted? Do you know how to pull the stock recovery.img?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] nevp:
Yes, I'm root.

No, I do not know the location recovery.img
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] angryGTS:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 thats the location of the recovery on the P769BK. I dont know if its the same location on yours. but to extract it use Terminal and type

dd if="/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of="/sdcard/recovery.img" without the quotations and it should make a file named recovery.img on the external sd card. once extracted PM it to me and I will take a look at it.

This is amazing news, L9 release is Sep 2012, and in Jan 2013 they released bootloader? This is really unbelievable news. Looks like constant cursing of people finally worked and they changed their strategy. :laugh:

Sorry I am not developer, and this could be a noob question. Is this unlocked bootloader be used for other variants? I mean for P760 or P765 by any chance? Does this also mean custom roms are very near?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] angryGTS:
Re: Progress made with custom recovery for p769BLK

I dont know if the other variants are unlocked with the latest update if someone with the other varirants PM me with the recovery.img i would be glad to take a look at them.

Ok I can almost guarantee it wont work on the P765 running the C or D firmare I tried building a recovery for it and it definitely has a locked boot loader because nothing worked when compiling a recovery.

flash_image is either not finding the recovery partition or it is locked?

Also the original recovery.img from my phone is 10MB so the partition must be that big but the new recovery.img is only 6.13MB in size. Would that matter?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] angryGTS:
Ok, so you pulled your recovery partition so you are rooted. Try in android terminal

1. SU

2. flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

Edit: the file I uploaded is only 6 megs? Wait until I get home from work and double check my file on computer to double check everything.

I have already tried that and that's when the error message showed up.

Also re-check your flash_image file. Other versions that I have used on other phones are much larger (75K vs 26K).

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] AngryWolf80:
10Mb - this is partition size. Actual recovery much smaller, it's about 6Mb :)

But be careful with recovery, if bootloader is locked, you get 'Security Error' with LG logo.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] cmahendra:
I think, first hard resetting and then flashing official unrooted stock kdz and then again hard resetting should solve the "security error" problem. I think I did that once before, but I am not sure when.:confused:
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] csrow:
Yes, I went back to the 2nd-init recovery even though it doesn't handle the sd-ext.

For this to work, we would have to flash both boot and recovery image to get rid of the locked boot loader.

Good Evening everyone.

I have a problem I have not been able to solve. My phone seems to like to freeze or reboot after about 4 hours..now this can be while in use or even just on standby. When I am at work I listen to pandora on it..after about 4 hours I can hear it start to stutter/lag like its using all its resources then it will just freeze or reboot.

I am using cube kernel. It does not seem to matter witch rom I am using because it has happened on all the roms I have tried.

you have to change the kernel cubed kernel has been doing that to a couple peoples phones so flash a different kernel use flash image gui

I have a Samsung Glaxy Note II (N7100), my wife has Galaxy Note (N7000) and my daughter Galaxy tab 7.7 (P6800).

Whenever I connect any of these phones to my PC using USB cable & run Keis it always tells me that current firmware is up to date & no upgrade available.

Funny thing is my Note II is running JB 4.1.1 & an upgrade is available, same with the Galaxy note which is running ICS 4.0 & my daughters tab 7.7 running HC 3.2.

As you can see all phones have upgrades but Keis not showing any.

A friend of mine has Galaxy S III & Y Duos & updated both via Keis many times, His S III is now running JB 4.1.2

Any clues ???

[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
Hi guys,

What you guys thinking, are you gonna quickly buy Xperia Z or planning to wait for the official announcement of Samsung Galaxy S4 or other phones!!

CONCLUSION

Buy Xperia Z - if you believe in Style with sufficient power.

Buy Galaxy S4 - if you want power house with Galaxy Signature design

Buy HTC One - if you want better sound, better display + Style << Xperia Z

XPERIA Z - My Opinion

:

As m coming from Galaxy Note 2, i will compare these two and here are what I think the Pros & Cons of Xperia Z:

Pros

:

-Beautiful Design

-Waterproof

-Good Camera (Rear only)

-Good Screen (View Straight)

Cons

:

-Not the best screen (viewing angles)

-Speaker position is horrible

-Poor Battery Life (compared to Note2)

-Front Camera not so good

-Overheating Issues (can tolerate as its waterproof)

-Cannot use Default Launcher with Xperia Widgets: Lags like anything

WHAT I AM MISSING COMING FROM NOTE 2

:

-MultiWindow

-Large Screen

-Customizable Notification Bar

-S-Pen

For Below Comparison - credit goes to Bjray

MOD EDIT: Please use this thread for all your comparisons between the Xperia Z and any other phone you're thinking of buying to reduce clutter in the forums with repeat threads.

Thanks

Re: Xperia Z - Quick Buy or Wait for Galaxy S4 ?

My experience with Sammy:

1. Bought s2. The audio quality was real ****ty. Then the cheap plastic feel. The plastic thing surrounding bezel cracked in two places. Sold it.

2. Bought S3. Immediately disappointed because of how 833 MB ram is always occupied by Sammy ****ty bkground processes.

- frequent foreground app kills

- volume button creeking sound.

- fed up with protective back cover getting getting shaded by dusty color. Yes they forced everyone to buy white s3.

- ****ty battery always at 44 - 48 degrees.

- very plasticky n i've managed to never drop it. Living in a fear.

- cross hatch patterns on screen is viewable.

So I know what Sammy does. It wants to always keep their loyal customer buy their phone every year.

Also 8cores in 28nm will be a disaster I think.

But if I buy Xperia Z, I feel I can be happy with this phone for another two years.
[Xperia Z General] -A-P-M-:
I had all Galaxy S phones and currently still got Galaxy S3. There are a few things which I hope Samsung will improve, if not, I won't buy their phone again. One is cheap materials - for example, a lot of SGS3 from first batch had a silver trim, which cracked even if phone didn't drop. Second, Samsung doesn't provide needed sources and developers (CM) can't build stable rom without bugs. Because of those reasons Im tempted to get Nexus or Xperia Z. Since Nexus 4 is hard to get, Im considering Xperia Z, because it looks very premium, they used high quality materials and also Sony provides sources to developers - opposite to Samsung.

Re: Xperia Z - Quick Buy or Wait for Galaxy S4 ?

I guess you should wait for something better than xperia z it still uses s4 pro processor/gpu which is still around the note 2 s so I think wait for s4, optimus g2, or something newer

Also battery would be unremovable

And I guess a bit less than note 2

[Xperia Z General] C-Drum:
With this being a developer forum, I can't for my life understand why you're even considering Samsung products, since they're not very developer friendly.

Samsung has failed time after time to deliver what the developers want.

Sony on the other hand is working closely with the developers and don't change very much from the provided source.

If you want to root your device and have custom roms on it in the future don't go for Samsung.

But as others already have mentioned in this thread. Mobile phone developement is going amazingly fast and in another 2 - 3 months, if you can wait, prices will have dropped on current phones and new ones will be availible. On the other hand: If you're waiting for newer and better stuff you can wait forever. Especially in the line of electronics hardware.
[Xperia Z General] MadMike10:
I would wait and see if a new display driver improves the quality of the contrast, which I think is really low in comparison what should be possible right now. Other than that I really like the Sony UI (better than Sammys) so if Battery life and Display is ok I'm buying one, also because S3 (and hopefully not s4) is a cheap plastic gadget. Also the development section might be better for the Z. Maybe the new HTC M7 is the phone we should wait for, because they really need a strike.

Greetz...
[Xperia Z General] noxlord:

[Xperia Z General] barondebxl:
Re: Xperia Z - Quick Buy or Wait for Galaxy S4 ?

It is BS, you're claiming that the Exynos 5 octa will be negated due to poor software optimization by Samsung. You can say whatever you want and so can I but we'll see. Anyways I disagree with you.
[Xperia Z General] suadion:
It's quite a biased statement indeed but surely you understand the attitude that a quad core for low power usage initially sounds pretty paradoxical.

I do agree with you by the way, probably the task division process is more hardware level than software, and converting quadcore tasks into singlecore tasks would cost additional computing power and thus power, making the symmetrical 4|4 configuration more power efficient than 4|1 configurations. In effect, software developers would simply code for a quadcore, with the priority level dictating to which quadcore the task is sent.

All this talk is speculative until we see some benchmarks [and with benchmarks I mean processing power/power consumption, not just raw power although with increasing resolutions and definition I really don't understand the reluctance for more powerful processors... if display resolution and graphic fidelity had plateaud by now I could understand but they haven't...]
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
I agree with Entropy512.

Software optimization is as important as the chip itself. If the two cant work well together the outcome wont be as good. Heres an example, Sony makes camera sensors for iphones, sg3, xperias etc... and why iphones/ sg3 takes better photos than most of xperia phones? There are different components for it and all must work together to produce a better balance of quality and color image.

The chip alone can be a great chip, but it wont provide a better user experience if the software is not as good.
[Xperia Z General] barondebxl:
Re: Xperia Z - Quick Buy or Wait for Galaxy S4 ?

Everybody here agree on that, that's not the point. What we disagree on is some are saying the Exynos 5 octa won't work well with the software and some are saying it will.
