I need some help. I've been playing Dungon Hunter 4 on my Prime for some time and I'd like to put my progress on my phone so I can play when times get slow when I don't have my Prime with me. I've searched all I could to find an answer and I've done all the necessary steps to move the app data from the Prime to my phone (TB folder). I go to my copy of TB on my phone and it shows the backup taken from the Prime so I press restore. It says it restores but when I open DH4 (installed the app from the market before moving backup file to phone) my progress is not where I am on my Prime. It's as if I just installed the app and never played it yet. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks

Hi everydbody. I got a question. When I go to see my girlfriend at Montreal, I got a very bad signal. There is a way to get a better signal?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] _Dennis_:
Buy an active signal booster (ie a cell phone signal repeater).

Call your provider and compplain about coverage in the area.

Hold your phone 'right' lol.

Usually if you get bad signal in one area and good in another not much can be done at the device level to get better signal. You can try to use different bands and such but most times it wont help. Search for AWS on i337m to try, but I would guess it wont help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] l337m45732:
The only thing I've been able to do about little to no signal is buy a repeater. I bought a zboost yx540 (I think that's the one I have lol) and went from 0-1 bar of EDGE to 2-5 bars of 4G. I've also done signal tweaks with the app android tweaker pro and it seems to have helped.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] l337m45732:

Hello there,

have several 9" China talbets, model nuclear-x3, and i got a software update from the fabric and instructions on how to upgrade with phoenixusbpro program aswell as the program.

I got the program installed, but when i plug the tablet the program kind of crashes, the text of all usb ports go from for example " other device 60 " to " áéáéááé 60".

The problem is with the drivers, they did not provide me with drivers, i have asked for drivers but apparently they do not understand what i am talking about, i just get an answer like "please ask your engineer to help you", so much for customer support.

Have a pc running on WIN8, i found some universal ADB drivers but apparently they do not support Windows x64. Also tried on a XP without luck. Also tried on a WIN7 machine but phoenix wont find any USB ports at all ?!

Anyone have any ideas ??

VERY thankful for ANY help

[Security Discussion] TheCoutures:
Yet somehow you have a smartphone, this never made any sense to me.
[Security Discussion] Knotsea:
Still no success.

After 3 weeks of attempts, I have yet to root my L9 P769. I've had to live with my phone with an uncalibrated screen for much too long now. What was promised to be an easy task, has proven to be a huge mistake on my part. My friend was the one that convinced me to root my phone, and he was the one that wanted to root it. To make a long story short, he left me with an awesome phone that I cannot use to it's full potential. Not even half of it.

I have tried to figure this out on my own by reading through endless amounts of forums, and my main issue seems to be the dead links to the software I require to root my phone. I am beyond desperate to fix my phone, I have considered claiming it stolen to have it replaced with my insurance.

I have the LG Optimus L9 P769 10g ICS.

I am currently having an issue with the SuperSU. I would love any help.
[Security Discussion] Meda808:
How did you get an uncalibrated screen were you trying to unlock the bootloader? how usable is it right now?

p769-20f LGPwn hangs

I have a P769-20f jellybean. I installed LGPwn.apk about a month ago when I was on the p769-10g ICS android version.

Now that I am on jellybean with spritebud installed (have verified), I expected the LGPwn method to work. However, when I start LGPwn, I get a pop-up that says:

(triangle) Waiting for debugger

application LGPwn (process com.cunninglogic.lgpwn) is waiting for the debugger to attach.

(button) force close

I try then to plug the phone into a usb on my linux box, and can start an adb shell, but the pop-up stays and there is no progress,

By the way, when I plug in the usb, I get the following menu of options: ( and I don't know if that is significant)

1. charge only

2. Media sync (MTP)

3. LG Software (I choose this one)

4. Camera (PTP)

There must be something I'm missing here. Can anyone help?

Aha, I had

settings.develper-options.wait-for-debugger = on <---- I don't think I set this one, either. THIS WAS THE PROBLEM, SHOULD BE "OFF"

After setting settings.developer-options.wait-for-debugger=OFF, LGPwn WORKED. Thanks very much!

I suggest looking at the source of LGPwn and see if its possible to re-implement, else look for a new vulnerability. I don't have your phone, and unless someone wants to put one in my hand I wont specifically be looking for an exploit on it.

I have a new exploit coming up that may function on it.

Dont work on LG vu P895. Rootandme then restore LGpwn.apk after that my phone reboot and nothing else happen reply please
[Security Discussion] jcase:
Seriously guys. It supports a wide range of phones, however LG has a large range of firmwares for a large range of devices. Some firmwares are bound to be incompatible with my implementation.

I do not have these devices, my solution was to open source and well document the exploit. If it doesn't work for your phone, investigate why and figure it out. spritebud might need a new backup to restore, it might have been patched, your device might now use spritebud, it could be many things.

Read the source, learn and try to fix it yourself (Trust me, its fun)

Justin,

I have had success with LGPwn.apk, which worked on LG Optimus L9 firmware version p769 20f (thanks) but not on version 20h, which I foolishly installed today.

I saw you mention earlier that you may have a new exploit and asked for a listing of ls -l /system/app. I have attached that listing from my phone to see if you have any other exploit suggestions for me.

P769 V20h

It initially appeared that the exploit had been patched in P769 V20h, but I was able to get it to work.

What I did was restore the backup and prior to clicking the button to restart, plugged the phone into my computer. I was prompted with a SuperSU confirmation dialog and I granted access.

This hotplug wasn't necessary with previous ROM versions, but maybe something changed. I read that was how the exploit worked, so I thought I'd give it a try.

Thanks! The hot plug trick worked for me on P76920h
[Security Discussion] reikred:
Hmm, this still does not work with my t-mobile (US) p769 20h for me. In case it is significant: When I do the USB hotplug operation after restore, I choose the "LG Software Mode" as opposed to the other 3 USB modes that a popup shows me. I do NOT get a SuperSU permission dialog, although I have SuperSU installed from Google Play.

I also have already the SU binary:

Does LGPwn Need to Remain on the Phone?

This worked great in rooting my LG P769 20h. It worked the first time without any issues. My only question is this: Is it okay to uninstall LGPwn after I have gained root with it?

hi guys,

I've been a fool and balls up a note 10.1 (n8010).

I've got a 2nd device and was wondering if I could simply do a

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/extSdCard/image.img

to get a complete image of ALL partitions on the device, then on the broken one do the restore

dd if=/extSdCard of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

?

Would this keep all partition table information?

I'm assuming it'll crate an exact clone of the 2nd device?

I've already done this for the efs partition as I over wrote it by mistake....

any thoughts?
