[General Questions and Answers] citBabY:
Well I found that Complete Linux Installer was much more comfortable than Linux Deploy, since Linux Deploy only shows "Checking mount points... fail" without ANYTHING else to inform me about, no solution no sh*t.

Well, so far I didn't use Terminal Emulator for anything, I just installed it because I was told to do so in those guide lines in Complete Linux Installer... But anyways no matter what I try on my Grand 2, it doesn't work! Linux Deploy shows the same mount fail error on both devides (The other one is Note 10.1), while Complete Installer, -after downloading everything they told me about-, it keeps crashing on the tablet whenever I try to launch the distro, even when I try to set the img path (I changed it from the default one, should be no problemo eh?), and on phone... I remember trying back then without any luck, but I don't remember in detail except that when I press launch a shell window opens and some lines appear, then it tells me that there was an error. Anyways I'm moving the img file to my phone and gonna try it out once more using Complete Installer. (Extracting the zip file takes a lot tho)

Well, I installed a small app called ""Loop device check" but to be honest I don't know if it actually works or it's just a mere joke, but on both devices it shows "Device supports loop device", so... :(

Yep but those are steps, no troubleshooting for any other errors, it's just like "do 1 2 3 4 5 BAM YOU HAVE LINUX WOHOOOOOOW"... lol

EDIT: So I managed to try Complete Linux Installer again on my Grand 2 and I remembered the issue: When it finds the md5 file and it asks me to use it to check the .img file, in the PAST I used to get an error after failing to check the .img file, whether I choose to use the md5 or no... But NOW there are different outcomes!

First of all it managed to check the .img file which I find amazeballs, and then it checks for loop device and it says FOUND (even though it wasn't found at first time, but it created one and the thing was successful), then it outputs the following:

mount: mounting /storage on /data/local/mnt/external_sd failed: Invalid argument
No user defined mount points
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
chroot: can't execute '/root/init.sh': Permission denied
Shutting down Linux ARM
umount (idk if it's umount or that's a typo xD): can't umount /data/local/mnt/external_sd: Invalid argument
umount: can't umount /data/local/mnt/dev: invalid argument
1|root@ms013g: /storage/extSdCard/kali #

So, does that mean that I have to change the location of the img file? And if that's so, then there's no way I can do it on the grand 2, since there's only 2 or 3 gigs free on internal memory.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I didn't ask if your device supported loop, I asked what does it say when it gets to the loop device test line, does it say detected or not detected!

---------- Post added at 05:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 AM ----------

Check to see if you still have your IMEI. Hopefully you do, if not then you nay can restore it but it would require some manual rewriting of your modem.
[General Questions and Answers] citBabY:
Well it did detect it, sorry I didn't know that there was even such test, because I never reached that level of progress (so far at least)

I just used twrp manager to flash the 2.8.6.0 twrp recovery zip file for my t0lte and now it's stuck on download mode.. What do I do now???? PLEASE HELP im currently downloading stock and plan to odin it
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
How did you get to download mode?

Were you trying to boot into recovery?

Try to shutdown device forcefully by taking the battery out or by keep pressing the power button for 10-15 seconds or so.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I didn't get those error so I'm not sure how to troubleshoot your issue, I had no problem whatsoever with getting it to download and install the distro, it was simple, I only had issues with VNC.
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
I tried complete Linux installer on my phone too.

I think it worked but there's a problem.

The terminal emulator gets stuck randomly.

For example, every time I try to install a package it gets stuck at "building dependency tree.... xx%"

The xx might me 50, 74 or whatever.

And mostly it gets stuck at the very beginning "config file loaded"

And then I need to close and reopen the terminal about 7-8 to get to work.

Any ideas?

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yeah, when I read the instructions for getting it installed it said that sometimes it you'd have to give it a few tries before it works.

When I had it going and its running in shell I would type the su command and the first try would be denied but I'd run it again and it would work with no issues, after that commands would work, I could install and remove packages with no problem.

I tried finding troubleshooting steps for the issues I was having but all I could find were the instructions to install and nothing else of any kind, I think I saw something from the developers about contacting them about any devices that had problems with this, it may be that there are device or kernel related issues that may have to be worked from upstream, I gave up because I couldn't find anything for any kind of solutions, I've been meaning to get back to it but I haven't yet. The ones that came up with the methods will probably have to solve your issues.

Are there any LG Optimus L1 II e410 roms ? I can't find any on xda or other sites. Thank you !
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Try using different distros and GUI's and see if you can get it going, you'll have to delete/remove/uninstall what you've tried though so it clears the old from where the new is going. You might even have to do a system format in recovery to avoid issues with anything that may be hanging around from previous install then reflash ROM/Gapps over, reinstall Linux installer then install the new distro to test, do that each time if you have to try multiple distros/GUIs.

Jiayu S3 3gb experiencing strange intermittent display issues.

Hello XDA - Disclaimer: Beginner level.

Writing because I'm having some issues with my new phone. The retailer did not set me up for an international ROM. SO, I followed the instructions found here [edit: can't post links] (SP Flash Tool, proper USB drivers, S3 3gb firmware) and it went relatively smooth. Great phone.

Finished up. Installed apps. Ran some tests -- antutu, gps etc.. and all was well with the world. This morning, unplugged from the wall outlet, all was fine. However, around noon, my screen looked strange after waking. [Attached].

To make matters more strange, it corrects itself after awhile and the problem slowly fades out. (20-30 seconds). It seems to correct faster when I don't touch it during display 'on'. When it fixes, it stays fixed until I put it to sleep / restart. The bootloader (I think its called -- still learning) doesn't do this at all.

I've tried what I can, which isn't all that much to be honest.

- Adjusting settings.

- Trying new roms via NeedRom all produce same result.

- Hard reset, eMCC via [edit: can't post links]

Expertise would be appreciated. Expertise communicated in a method understood by a beginner that resolves this issue would be close to perfection. Not looking to do anything fancy, stock and working well is fine. If it helps, today is my birthday ;-[ and the phone was a gift.
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
Hi, Happy Birthday!

Instead of taking pictures via another camera did try to take screenshots?(usually Power button+volume down, but may vary)

If results are the same in the screenshots as well then it might be caused by some mod that you applied.

If the screenshots are clear with no trace of any blurs or glitches, just like it would be as if nothing was wrong, then it's most probably a hardware defect. (Which I suspect it to be)

Stock Firmware Help

For some weird reason my phone model has switched. In setting is says it is the sprint version which it is. I have the lg optimus g sprint ls970; however, when I use a program to get back to stock it says that it is the at&t version. I have included a picture.
[General Questions and Answers] arich123:
Hey thanks! Yeah, I did some screenshots and it looked 100% fine in them. Boy am I unlucky I guess. Nothing else to try before I give it the heave-ho all the way back to Singapore? I'm surprised that it fixes itself after awhile. Was hoping that was a good sign.
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
Get it back to full stock, just flashing the stock firmware through SP Flashtools would be enough.

By the way, you could still take that "fixing on its own" as a good sign, I mean it's still pretty usable.

Also, If don't live in Singapore then it might cost you a lot to ship it there just for the sake of claiming the warranty.

Just sayin'

Was the flash tool showing correct model earlier or has it been like that always?

Have you ever flashed anything else using this tool or some other method before?
[General Questions and Answers] dlinders10:
It happened after I flashed a row incorrectly I believe but no matter how many new ones I flash it keeps saying it's the other model.
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
row? Did you mean ROM?

If yes, Was it not mean for your device?

How did you flash it?
[General Questions and Answers] dlinders10:
I did mean rom. I just downloaded the rom and flashed it using twrp recovery.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Then restore the backup YOU SHOULD ALWAYS MAKE BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING!

You did that right? Because it was probably instruction #1 in the OP of the ROM you flashed.

You are on Sprint? What model phone?
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
Was it build for the at&t variant?

If have NANDroid backup of before flashing that ROM, you could try to restore that.
[General Questions and Answers] dlinders10:
I think I may have flashed to wrong variant but flashed the correct one to make it work. I do not have Nandroid backup and completely wiping the phone had not gotten ride of wrong model problem.
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
Was that flashed tool to working with your phone earlier, I mean before flashing the wrong ROM?

I thought it might be screen burn-in so I downloaded an app that cycles through the RGBW colors and you can't see the problem at all. I'm guessing not hardware at this point then?
[General Questions and Answers] SerialRoot:
I'm using CLEAN MASTER, to disable apps from restarting and it says failed to grant root.. Then to modify clean masters authorization status. What does this mean? . I am ROOTED and have granted root to multiple apps. SU, CLEAN MASTER, ES FILE EXPLORER, GREENIFY TITANIUM BACKUP, etc.... Root is granted as said by, root checker.. I am ROOTED but have issues as everyone is having
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
Screen burn in is a hardware issue as well.

The fact that the screenshots are clear is a proof that the phone is sending the correct images to the screen, but it's the screen that's not able to produce them.

I think all the pixels needs to get a little worked up before producing image correctly(not usual), so when you cycle through RGBW on the screen it fixes the problem.

I have no experience with hardware so I can't be much sure about anything.

By the way, have you dropped your phone recently? Or have you accidentally done any kind of physical impact on it?
[General Questions and Answers] arich123:
Unfortunately no. I almost wish I had so I knew it was me that did it. I've owned the phone for ~ 24 hours :-/
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
If you're using SuperSU then you can open it up, select clean master and touch the "forget" button.

Then open clean master and try again to disable restart, this time a popup will show asking you to grant root access, press "Grant" and should do it.

Umm I got a dual core cortex processor

That supports loop doesnt it? Why do I get this error? :/
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
Are all dual core processors' kernels supposed to support loop devices?

If you're not sure if your kernel supports it then you can check via an app called loop device checker, available on the Play Store. Although, I don't know if it really works.

For my device it showed that it supports and I know that it actually does, so.... Maybe.

Seem I have a small issue. When playing games that require acceleration and braking the phone thinks I've taken my finger off the screen yet I haven't moved it. Its a constant pain in my side. It did it on stock ROM too so I know its not ROM based. Pls help

Sent from my GT-I9195
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If the ROM you used flashed fine and everything worked fine then the model number thing isn't an issue. You can leave the ROM on the phone and just go into the build.prop file in that ROM and edit all the lines with the other model number so that those lines show your correct model number. This is to be expected when using ROMs made for another device.

But I suspect since you are dealing with AT&T(GSM) and Sprint(CDMA) that everything wasn't working correctly such as having problems with service and data. That should also be correctable with the proper RILblobs for your device along with some other build.prop edits to get service and data working. But that's only if you want that particular ROM to work. If you have a ROM that works that is for your model and it shows your model correctly and you'd rather stay with it then keep it.

---------- Post added at 10:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 AM ----------

Are you using lollipop custom ROM? If so go to developer options and set root access to apps and adb, this is a feature in lollipop that when not set correctly makes your device act like it isn't rooted.

---------- Post added at 11:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 AM ----------

It sounds to me like something you flashed or nodded is giving you issues with your device displaying with the correct DPI. You may can adjust the DPI to correct it but be careful you can brick the display, the phone itself will function fine but the digitizer will be dead.

---------- Post added at 11:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 AM ----------

You both can check for loop support on your device/kernel through normal terminal emulator with a Linux command but I don't remember the command, look it up and try it and see what you guys come up with.

Which method did you use? Linux deploy or Complete Linux installer? Which .IMG or distro and GUI did you use?
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
Well to be honest, I don't fully understand myself what was causing the problems.

My advice, if you're sure that you're following the instructions correctly then there might be a problem with the Linux image that you're trying to boot.

Earlier I was trying Debian core image and I've already shared the issues that I came across but then I tried Ubuntu 13.04 small image, started from the scratch, reinstalled all the required APKs, binaries and stuff,followed the instructions and result is clear as you can see, it's working perfectly.

Then I revisited the Debian image with the same setup and nothing had changed there, same problems.

So I guess it's just something with the image.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
That's what I thought from my first try at this, I tried a few different ways and got fed up, I wasn't looking forward to trying .IMG after .IMG after .IMG so I put it away for a while.
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
Yea..I know, downloading stuff again and again is such a drag[emoji25] , and specially when you have a suspicion that the current setup might work just by rearranging a few things.

And by the way, I'm using Complete Linux Installer with Ubuntu 13.04 small image.

And the DE(that came pre-installed) is lxde.
[General Questions and Answers] SlimShady08:
Thank you both!!!! Im off to try
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
So you basically just uninstalled everything and started over from scratch? Did you just uninstall or did you format system to clear everything that the previous attempt did at the system level then reflash ROM and Gapps before starting over with everything?

[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
No, I didn't go that deep.

Actually I just cleared the data(from the settings) for the apps.

And then you know, they think that's it's their first run over that system.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Either this isn't going to work on your device or you haven't installed one of the elements it needs to run it. I can't tell what you are missing from a screenshot, go back to your instructions and verify that you have everything right.

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 AM ----------

So after undoing everything and starting over it worked with no issue? What did you use for the device hostname exactly? Did you just enter "localhost" and that was it?

Well I'm really new to Linux, the first time I ever used Linux in a proper manner was like 2-3 weeks ago, when I decided to learn building kernels, and I managed to get this one operational just this morning, So I can't comment much on how it is. But yea... Seems to be fully functional and I definitely liked it a lot.

But the thing that blows my mind is that this is a fully fictional desktop operation system running on top of android non stop on my phone since this morning and it doesn't seem to consume much RAM neither does it slow down the system at all, even right now it's running and I have like 3 tabs on my chrome, Tapatalk, gallery and a few other apps running and I still have 850 MB free RAM (total 2 GB) without any lag.

Also it boots like in no time once launched, you could directly go to VNC and find yourself on desktop.

This is amazing.
