I'm not the best person to answer your questions but here's what I know.

Recovery, which is a part of Android system is the thing which allows you to install official updates, take backups, debug your device, etc.

Custom recovers take it a step further, they can be used to install unofficial roms, take Nandroid Backups and a whole lot more.

You need to install a custom recovery if you're planning on doing what's listed.

TWRP(TeamWin Recovery Project) is one of the most popular custom recoveries out there which is available on a ton of devices and has a lot of features.

CWM(ClockworkMod Recovery) is also a custom recovery that you could choose.

Yes, it is compatible with Android 4.1.2 and as a matter of fact custom recoveries are available for all the android versions (as far as I know).

But you need to pick the right recovery for your device, it should be meant for your particular device model and should be compatible for the Android version you're running on it.

You can try searching on Google for more info on custom recoveries.

Hope it helps :)

I guess it's best to ask the developer to provide a solution, did you try doing that?

---------- Post added at 07:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 PM ----------

Do not get it wet, they will not honor the warranty for something that you did to your device.

Best option here(according to me) is to go at the service center with your bill and say something like, "It was on charging all night and the next day when I woke up, it was like this"

That might work[emoji6]

(it's kinda cheating though)

Is there a TWRP flashable of 6.23.651.6.zip for the Sprint HTC One M7?
[General Questions and Answers] josephiskandar:
I don't think so, do you have a problem connecting your phone to your computer ?
[General Questions and Answers] Shawn R:
No. The 6.23.651.6 RUU just won't work for me. I probably need to be S-Off.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
You can't flash firmware in recovery. You have to do it in RUU mode with an .exe file, in fastboot with a .zip, or in hboot, also with a .zip.

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

If it's a signed RUU, you don't need to be S-Off. You do need to re-lock your bootloader though. In fastboot: fastboot oem lock

LGL23 Root

So I've gone back to looking into rooting my G-Flex and found a root specifically for my model (LGL23 Japan KDDI variant) at lgviet com which you should be able to find searching for "root-recovery-lg-flex-kddi-lgl23.29775".

I had to run the script manually step-by-step to see why it wouldn't work and discovered that I am only getting temp root. Any time I reboot the phone Root Check says I'm rooted (I guess because it can see su in /system/xbin) but SuperSU gives me "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!" so basically after reboot I lose root. I believe this is why I thought towelroot wasn't working even though it said it rooted my phone. So just wondering if anybody knows how I can get permanent root for this. I've seen a lot of posts on the Internet about this specific variant (LGL23) but haven't seen anything about people only getting temp root. What I have to do to get root back is to run three commands from the root script (install_backdoor, disable_ccsecurity, and run_root_shell). These files are just sitting in /data/local/tmp and were put there by the script.

So anyways, while the phone was rooted I was able to install the TWRP recovery from lgviet com (the exe supplied gave me a virus alert and so I didn't use it). I just renamed l23_recovery_twr.lok to recovery.img and used Flashify to install it.

Thanks!

Question about GApps size

I´m looking for a GApps installation as small as possible. I have found some "minimal editions" that tells me the "GApps Minimal Edition only includes the absolute essentials to make everything run properly". Looks like something for me. But the size of the .zip is 99 mb. Other GApps that also want to go minimal, like the Pico-version, is just about 40 mb. And the Slim-ROM version (mini gapps) is about 69 mb. Why is there that big difference between them when there should be just Google Play Store, sync-functions and a few other .APKs included?

Example of what 2 of them contains (APK):

Minimal Edition :

GoogleBackupTransport.apk (Handles backup of settings)

GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk (Google Calendar Sync)

GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk (Google Contacts Sync)

GoogleFeedback.apk (ForceClose reporting)

GoogleLoginService.apk (Google login system)

GoogleOneTimeInitializer.apk (?)

GooglePartnerSetup.apk (In App purchases)

GoogleServicesFramework.apk (Provides account / login information to Google Apps)

Phonesky.apk (Google Play Store)

PrebuiltGmsCore.apk (Google Play Services)

SetupWizard.apk (Setup Wizard when you first use your phone)

And Pico:

Core Base

Google Bookmarks Sync

Google Calendar Sync

GoogleContactsSyncAdapte

Google Play services (like Phonesky)

Can someone please explain the difference. The extra files in the first one doesn't explain the difference in size. And in one other GApps there where several PrebuiltGmsCore.apk. Is that part of the answer?

Note 3 stock firmware and region lock

Hi,

This is my first time posting on XDA so please be gentle :eek:

I am a complete n00b so please treat me like one.

I have a Note 3 LTE (N9005) from saudi arabia and it is obviously region locked. I was thinking of flashing a stock firmware from some other country ex-romania..if i do so will i get rid of the region lock or will i get region locked for Romania.

If this method doesn't work then can you suggest me some other method to get rid of the region lock and no i don't have the saudi arabian sim card.

PS:I am running 4.4.2 so i cant use CF's region lock away.

If your phone is sim / carrier locked, you'll have to buy a valid unlock code from a online store. Flashing a different firmware will not affect carrier lock.

[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
You can't uninstall a ROM just like an app(As far as my knowledge goes), and once you are on a custom ROM factory restore will only reset the custom ROM, it will not take it back to the original ROM.

Also, If you have a custom recovery installed then you don't need the ROM to be rooted for flashing another ROM onto your device, just go to the recovery and install the ROM you want.

Are planning on taking it back to the OEM firmware or flashing a different ROM?
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
You won't get any custom roms for GT-S7272. Dual-Sim phones are not the best option if you wan't to use a custom rom like CyanogenMod. Best thing you can actually do is to mod your rooted stock rom.#

Xposed Framework is great for doing so.

[General Questions and Answers] josephiskandar:
Why do you care so much about flashing the smallest Gapps package possible in size? Gapps are installed on your system partition (as system apps), and nothing else than your rom and gapps is flashed there, so you don't lose any of your phone internal storage by flashing even the biggest package if your system partition size allows you to.

If your concern is to have the least possible installed google apps on your phone, then go for the pico package, it wouldn't exist if there was something missing on it necessary for your phone to work correctly.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you flash a ROM then you'll have to make sure its a CDMA ROM that is designed to work on the network that you are trying to use, its not so simple as just flash, each network is different and use different bandwidths so the ROM you use must work within those bandwidths, the SIM you use even effects whether you can use a network, generally speaking in the US CDMA is CDMA but there are subtle differences from CDMA network to CDMA network. Just stick with ROMs made specifically for your device model number and series(for the ST sch-s968c it is d2vzw or d2lte(d2lte is unified meaning it works on all the "d2" S3's, i. e. d2att(AT&T), d2usc(US cellular), d2vzw(Verizon wireless), d2spr(Sprint), d2tmo(T mobile) and so on. Anything else isn't going to work for you without modifying it(basically porting it to your device).

Hello, back again with another question.

HTC Desire 320

Rooted - 4.4.2

Stock ROM, no custom recov, locked bootloader.

I had asked before about if there were any custom roms for my phone, but was told there was none.

Since then, I had searched around to see if anything else was available that a rooted phone could take advantage of.

As of now, I still can't even find the right files for my device to do CWM/TWRP recovery on it. It seems like custom modifications for this device just don't exist.

Is there anything at all for this phone? I continually read about how if you have root access, but a stock rom, etc., then you're missing out. (I know it is a barebones, weak smartphone, but I love it all the same.)

Thank you to anyone who can provide insight.

Getting CWM on almost any MediaTek device is actually pretty easy.

[General Questions and Answers] AknUlla:
Hello. Your phone is probably getting hot because your game maxes out the processed. If you play it allot that could be the case. Also this combined with charging can generate heat as does my z max phablet. Heres an app I've used in the past and its worked for me.

Hike on up to the Google play shop and have them give you Battery Doctor for free.

If that helped leave a thanks please, and thank you.

---------- Post added at 12:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 PM ----------

It depends. If you are rooted, you can get an app to overclock your phone. What these apps (found on GooglePlay) do is give you different profiles. Which the one you'd want is performance. Which at the expense of your battery you can max the kernel. If you can you might want to look in to flashing a custom kernel for far better results.

If you are not a root user there are some apps that mimic a kernel over clock but I've found no difference with those.

Last there is clean master which I would recommend under any and all circumstances. Clean master (found on GP as well) cleans out all your phones junk and monitors the ram available.

Does this answer your question? If it does pleas leave a thanks.
