[LG Optimus G Pro] dante501:
I am tempted but I probably stay at with the LG G Pro because removable battery is nice to have. And also the removable memory. I know for some it isn't a big deal but it is a pain when the battery in a phone goes bad and you have to swap out the whole device rather then just the battery. Happened to me on 2 devices with non removable battery. So I told myself not to switch back to a non removable battery device. But the G2 is a very good device.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
The ONLY thing that is keeping me from coming back is how much easier the G2 is to hold, But other than that I LOVE my G Pro.
[LG Optimus G Pro] dante501:
OK that isn't a problem for me. I have big hands so G Pro is good to hold for me. But I understand.
[LG Optimus G Pro] solaris2k:
The G2 is a sweet phone but I love the bigger screen of the G Pro. I already have a 5" s4 active and started using that as my main until we were blessed with all these new ROMs (thanks to our amazing devs! :) ) Now its hard to go back to screen size like that. For me at least. I really want the G Pad when it comes out though I miss having an actual tablet. My next phone will probably be a Note 3 though maybe a few weeks after launch. I love my little s4 so it makes me want the giant version lol.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Elsydeon:
I'm not sure why anybody would want to switch from a G Pro to a G2, or any of the upcoming flagship phones for that matter. The only real competitor to the G Pro is the Note 3, and unless you're made of money, the G Pro is a considerably better bang for the buck. The rest...do you seriously need that Snapdragon 800? That's about the only advantage they all have, and you're actually downgrading on the screen size. So many of them won't have removable batteries or SD card slots as well (Xperia Z1, Nexus 5, G2, Xiaomi MI3). I'm actually amazed LG took out the removable battery and SD slot from the G2, given the G Pro had both, and the G2 does not sport some kind of premium unibody design like the Optimus G/Nexus 4 had. The Xperia Z1 has a better camera by pixel count, but again do you really need that?

Of course if you want a physically smaller phone...than by all means, trade in. I feel set for a while myself, especially once development ramps up just a bit more.
[LG Optimus G Pro] kelvintisw:
Not for me!

I'm keeping my G Pro. I'm not gonna downgrade my screen size from 5.5" to 5.2". :eek:

In fact, G2 has only 5" of actual viewable screen due to the fcuking On-Screen Button on pages and in most apps! :(

That's a massive 0.5" in reduction.

...and, do you wanna play games with the fcuking On-Screen Button stays on the side likes this! That sucks!

Hi everyone,

I maintain a website where I mirror all stock OTAs for Nexus and other "Google experience" devices. I've decided to start mirroring and tracking the Galaxy S4 and HTC One Google Play Editions. You can find the page for the HTC One at http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/htc-one/m7_google.

Anyway, I need some information from you guys to help fill out the page:

1. Does anyone know what the HBOOT version was on the original shipping JDQ39/4.2.2 firmware?

2. What is the current HBOOT version of the recent JWR66V/JWR66Y ROMs? I'm pretty sure they're the same.

3. Does anyone have the OTA ZIP file for the JWR66Y OTA that just dropped a few days ago? If so, can someone upload it somewhere so I can mirror it? Also, preferrably, I'd like it named whatever the original filename was.

Thank you!
[One (M7) General] EddyOS:
1. Pretty sure it's always been 1.54 but could be wrong

2. It's now on 1.54

3. Here is the latest OTA, direct from the Google server - http://android.clients.google.com/p...E_3.07.1700.1-3.06.1700.10_release_332016.zip
[One (M7) General] CheesyNutz:
1.44 was the hboot on my att one

i think that was for the GE ones as well
[One (M7) General] killman2659:
I am pretty sure that GE came with 1.54 out of the box
[One (M7) General] EddyOS:
But that's not the GPe One so doesn't matter
[One (M7) General] oldblue910:
Thanks for all the info, guys. The fact that both OTAs come with the same HBOOT would say to me that the phone didn't ship with HBOOT 1.54. Does anyone else have any info on the shipping HBOOT version?
[One (M7) General] RossLH:
My GE phone shipped with the 1.54 HBOOT and 4.2.2 firmware.
[One (M7) General] oldblue910:
OK then, that settles it. Thank you!

I have installed the voice program that was on the Companion disc and it is a pia to use. Is there a better program as I am in the US and I don't want to go through all the crap to use the program that is on the Companion Disc as it also has to be called up and can't be accessed from the voice using the BT Motorola HS850 unless I manually select the prog from the menu and go through the steps that way. No use using the Headset if I have to do all the work from the XDAlls itself. Help !!!
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EFEXR:
Everytime im done with my Ouya, I go to the main screen press Y and choose "turn off ouya". I know that the ouya shuts down because the input on my tv goes blank and says that no source have been found. Now when I try to turn on my ouya,lets say about 1.5 hours later my ouya is already turned on and is asking me to shut down.

Why is this happening to me? Am I not shutting down correctly?why does the ouya turn itself on?
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MisterRich:
Wish I could answer, but at least I'm glad to know I'm not the only one running into this issue. I'll do the exact same thing to shut down, and notice my TV's input still shows active, I'll switch back, and it's asking to shut down Ouya / Controller / Cancel. I'll do the shutdown again, and then wait for it to show No Signal on my monitor. I hope this will be also be addressed by a future update...
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeblowma:
When you shut off with the menu options ouya is actually going to a low power sleep mode instead of turning off - similar to a android tablet or phone when you just push the power button or close a case cover, the next time you push it it is an instant on instead of a boot process.

Apparently it failing to stay asleep has something to do with the HDMI interface, though I can't technically confirm or deny this I do know it's entirely possible.

The only way I've found to actually shut it off is to either hold the power button for a few seconds until it shuts off, or pull the power plug (not recommended.)
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billouetaudrey:
Or root, install QuickReboot and shutdown with it...

[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmehanna:
I am facing the same issue. I did changed the HDMI cable with some other one. this is weird:cyclops:
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EFEXR:
This actually works. Thank you.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TadeoNYC:
Hdmi activity wakes up OUYA, many TV's scan inputs so they don't list them in "source" menu and this turns OUYA back on. A poorly thought out feature.

Rather than doing a hard shut down, you can do a full shut down by holding the power button for a full second or two. You will then get an on screen prompt to confirm shut down, this will do a full shut down not just put it to sleep like it does when you use the controller to initiate it. Constantly killing power to a running system will probably start corrupting files at some point.

There is also some sort of sleep or screen or keep awake option in advanced settings that is supposed to disable the hdmi wake up.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] keroma:
Hi,

My phone cannot turn on anymore and i got it more than a year from Bell Canada. I went to a place who can repair the phone and found out the motherboard was burn because of some water around the usb port. (Not sure why...because no water go in that i can aware of)

But they cannot fix the motherboard for me and i would like to know anybody know how much samsung will charge for the whole repair?

If expensive, i think i will go to get a new phone instead.

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] japaneezy:
Of course this is asked all of the time and I'm used to just flashing various ROM's to test each one, but with the performance degrading (old hardware, understandable) this just isn't as fun any more. RAM is very limited and even though I run LagFix and other suggestions in other threads, there is no denying the flash memory degradation.

With my current set up, I cannot have more than 2 concurrent applications running. There are tons of supported ROM's at the moment (looking at Verizon), way too many to try them all.

To those like me who have older Nexus's, what are you currently running happily with? I want to be able to at least play music in the car while looking up places to eat on Maps, but at the moment, one will cause the other to crash due to lack of RAM.

Thanks in advance of course!
[LG Optimus G Pro] jinori:
Hello, and thank you for reading this..

I am on E980, 4.1.2 on the US AT&T version. I am running the stock rom, but I do have it rooted.

How would someone install a 4.3 Rom such as CyanFox going by what I have now? Can anyone do a break down for me? It would be awesome. The forums are a tad bit confusing as I didn't see any guides, and if there are, I apologize for making a nonsense topic.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jinori:
ondoymo august

Okay... I'm answering my own question because I just found out :)

1. Root your device using the/any method here on the dev forums.

2. Find Project FreeGee on the app store

3. Install FreeGee, accept the terms and unlock your device.

4. Choose the regular CWM out of the three options.

5. Everything will unlock and install.

6. Put rom you want on your sdcard, along with gapps for 4.3 and a modem if required by the rom.

7. Shutdown the phone

8. Use volume + and power button until the phone comes on, you will boot into CWM.

9. From there its just like installing any other rom in CWM :)
[LG Optimus G Pro] psal217050:
You are better off with TWRP2.6.1 right now. Put ROM and Gapps on EXTERNAL SD Card, not internal. Follow the OP instructions of the ROM you select. You might have to boot it twice the first time you use TWRP2.6.1.
[General Questions and Answers] slemanoff:
I bought device with these specifications so the sim is not working unknown baseband null IMEI tried to flash a custom rom didn't solve anything I don't have efs backed up

[General Questions and Answers] abidaddy:
I have the same problem.....sorry to say your device may have a coruppted board esp since you did not backup your efs....I'm looking for a fix also but all says that a new board may be needed......wish someone has a fix tho!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _dannyboy:
I just got the new JB OTA but I don't wanna upgrade since I just rooted and unlocked my bootloader...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _dannyboy:
Ok so, I did the update and now I have to reroot and unlock. From what I understand, freegee works on ZVC too...can anyone else verify? I heard it from Engine95
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Xiutehcuhtli:
Thanks for the heads up! I need to let my wife know to not accept the update until we have confirmed that bootloader can be unlocked and root achieved on the new OTA. We just got her phone back from insurance and I have not had the chance to re-root yet.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
Root and Unlock is confirmed on zvc bin. The update should be no different. Fyi. To be able to install the update, you MUST have be totally stock ROM. Absolutely no changes.

Follow the Root guide. It'll guide you through the process.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _dannyboy:
I mean, I had the media files.XML from _Epic but that's it
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
You can try to install the update. It'll fail if it finds something it doesn't like. If I remember right, if it fails, just reboot. Nothing should be changed.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _dannyboy:
I installed it already. Everything's fine.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
Very good.

So your bootloader was not unlocked? Yesterday I thought you rooted and unlocked?

If you were unlocked, see if you still have TWRP as your recovery, Please.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _dannyboy:
Yeah I was unlocked...it actually installed through twrp. I'll check for you
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
Now you've really got me confused.

You just said you were unlocked.

And yet this was your post in another thread. "Yep. Installed it...nothing changed. Gotta reroot and unlock again but Engine95 said freegee works with zvc"

Set me straight please. ;)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _dannyboy:
I see. Ok, well I rooted and unlocked my bootloader yesterday. Today I received the update and installed it. When the phone rebooted to install the update, it went to TWRP. Then when the update finished, it booted normally. When I say nothing changed, I meant nothing with my software. Everything was left the same, even my notifications. When I tried to boot into the boot loader, it booted normally so I checked if my phone was still rooted and it wasn't. In a previous thread, you said that freegee and root are confirmed working on ZVC, that's what I was referring to because I'm gonna have to reroot and unlock again since the update unrooted and locked the bootloader.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
Gotcha.

We have to have all updates before rooting and unlocking.

I can't remember if this is what it did when zvb came out our not. But we also couldn't unlock zvb for a while. So we avoided taking the update.

Anyway root and FreeGee will take care of you again as they do work on zvc.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _dannyboy:
Yep, they just did. Took less than 5 minutes. Thanks bro
[Sprint LG Optimus G] spleef:
nothing here yet just checked on my wife"s stock locked phone...im in pa,tx
[Sprint LG Optimus G] roguejam:
Nothing here either in Raleigh, NC.

Anybody who has gotten it, any chance for sharing the update.zip? Would like to avoid factory resetting.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] RayTrue04:
TWRP? Don't ota updates require a stock recovery or else they fail? Are you sure your phone didn't boot without installing anything like it would normally do on other phones with custom recoveries? Did you check your phones about section to make sure you're on ZVC??
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _dannyboy:
I'm 1500000% sure it said ZVC. I can't explain it either but....yeah
[Sprint LG Optimus G] harishmenace:
Even I did the same thing as you. Installed the update on a rooted and unlocked phone, it went to TWRP, update was installed, after that rebooted and it was all stock with bootloader locked. Data was not wiped, all apps including Super SU was there but no root. It says ZVC in the settings, and google apps are updated.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
This is good to know. Thanks.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] SlimMan:
In Southwest VA area here, got this update some time yesterday afternoon.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] highnoteuser:
So let me just confirm this before I screw something up. I am on Lifeless right now. It is asking me to take the OTA update. I can do so and then reroot using this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=38886073#post38886073 and then reunlock the bootloader with freegee: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.shell.freegee_free&hl=en and I will be updated and still running Lifeless rom?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
Your link for root is wrong, but I'm sure you mean to use fiddy619 Universal root.

Normally, the update should fail without a stock ROM. But this one, so far, is a little different. It might work, and it might not. If you manage to keep TWRP, then flash the odex stock rom by TheShadow1 and then you should be able to take the update.

Edit. Here's the link to it. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=38755109
[Sprint LG Optimus G] highnoteuser:
Yes, I meant fiddys method. Thanks. I'll try it now and report back.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
I should warn you. If it fails, you may lose recovery and have to LGNPST or LGFlashtool.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] highnoteuser:
So here is what I did and here is what happened.

1. Updated to TWRP 2.6.3

2. Made backup

3. Download freegee and universal root zip

4. Finally accepted that nagging ZVC update(it booted into TWRP and I waited)

5. Nothing happened so I hit install and browsed around for and update.zip or something, no luck

5. Reboot from TWRP back into Lifeless with no problems

6. Check software version: ZVB, damn

7. Checked for software update, none found.

8. sat back with puzzled look on my face, lol.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
So basically it failed. So now we know. If you want ZVC, flash that odex ROM, wait for the update. Or LGNPST, LGFlashTool it.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] highnoteuser:
Yea I guess so. I wonder what dannyboy and harishatrix were doing differently or if the main difference is me being on Lifeless even if it is a stock based rom.

It's funny that it won't find the update now. I guess that is one way to get rid of the notification. It's a persistent little sucker.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
Lifeless is not stock though. It's been modified a lot. That's the difference.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] toprock23:
I would love to know how the radios are on ZVC.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Agimax:
The update wouldnt show up for me until i went to apps and selected google services and cleared the app data, forced closed it. Rechecked for update and BAM there it was. I was running an unmodified factory ZVB at this time with root and using TWRP 2.6.3.0 recovery.

Easy to upgrade and keep root, no computer needed!

(I was on TWRP 2.6.3.0 and a stock factory ZVB rom only rooted and unlocked.)

1.) Downloaded VOODOO OTA Root Keeper (Free in market) and FREEGEE.

2.) use the Voodoo OTA root keeper to backup root.

3.) Accept the system ZVC update (it will ask to reboot, goes to TWRP and installs just fine, no worries!)

4.) After it reboots into the system, go into the Voodoo OTA root keeper app and select to restore ROOT.

5.) Reboot your phone (important!)

6.) After it reboots into the system, go into FreeGee and select to unlock your phone.

7.) Reboot after it finishes (important)

8.) (optional) i rebooted into recovery and updated my recovery back to 2.6.3.0

You now should have a fully unlocked rooted functional zvc phone.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] shabbypenguin:
Just checked and no update here in my part of florida. how come no one has grabbed the zip or url?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] highnoteuser:
I cant't find where it downloaded to... And I did get the OTA directly east of you on the Treasure Coast
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
If you get it, before you reboot.

Have a rooted explorer. Go to/cache. Move it to your SD.

It might be in /cache/fota.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] highnoteuser:
I pulled that file and tried to flash it but no dice. Here it is.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/dz3luw
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
It's not flashable. Use the root guide and just plug this update where the ZVB update goes.

Do you mind if I link this file in the guide? I'll get it uploaded too, but it'll be a couple days.

I have tried to upgrade to zvc by clearing and force stopping Google service framework. Once it downloads and reboots in recovery it loads a 1/4 of the way then I get a red triangle about a minute later it reboots. My phone is not taking the update. I'm on stock/ rooted only on zvb...any ideas?

Edit

I have found the reason why it wasn't updating. The LGUsmms.apk and the my build prop was causing it not to update. This upgrade checks your current system for changes made to stock. Funny that they were changed on mine for epics camera mod and MMS for 2mb update from here.

I reinstalled default MMS and buildprop then the update went through.

Thanks
[Sprint LG Optimus G] spleef:
Do like I did today took 30 minutes... Lgnpst the zvc bin then use fiddy to root then use the latest freegee to unlock... I didn't factory reset or erase or lose anything I'm already back on pacman ROM with zvc baseband with no issues..
[Sprint LG Optimus G] roguejam:
Did the same thing on stock a couple of days ago. Worked like a charm, my /data was still there and intact.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] spleef:
Yep mine too... didn't lose anything only profit
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Rabbiddog:
This worked perfectly. Thanks. Updated and back to root/unlock. :good:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bruiserman:
I'd just rather not

Can we just not do this and stop the notification for the update. I'd just rather leave the phone the way it is. Rooted and working just fine. If it ain't broke..... Use titanium to freeze the update service maybe? Or delete the zip file in the cache?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] reddragon72:
stock + root + unlocked with camera xml mod only.

rebooted into TWRP and nothing happened. Tried to install the zip no go. reboot and no change and notification is gone.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Rabbiddog:
Just a quick follow (after updating and going back to root/unlock). The biggest change I've noticed with the update is the radio performance. They've definitely improved in that area. I especially notice this when indoors at work where I RARELY (as in almost never) got a 4G connection. Now I get a solid 3 bars indoors. Same with at home where my connection period was spotty (apparently my house sits in a gray zone). Which is why I always just used WiFi at home. But just to check, disabled WiFi and now I get a steady 3G connection (I never ever got a 4G connection at home so I wasn't expecting to now).
[Sprint LG Optimus G] my.ads0:
On step 3 it's written that it "goes to TWRP and installs just fine". What do I have to do to get from "TWRP" to "installed just fine"? Do I have to navigate to the OTA file in cache and choose it or something?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Rabbiddog:
No. When I followed the instructions and accepted the OTA update. It rebooted as normal and right into TWRP where it began the update automatically without me having to do anything else. Once updated it booted back up and did it's updating Android system files thing. If it's not coming right up to installing the update in TWRP, it means something is not happening right.

EDIT: Maybe it's the version of TWRP you're using. I'm using 2.5.0.0.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] liquidninja:
Is there any chance someone could make a stock, rooted, flashable ZVC ROM? Seems like it would take care of a lot of issues people are having trying to update.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] my.ads0:
I had to get out my reading glasses for this one. :eek:

It does indeed start trying to install the package when TWRP loads, however I get this:

Verifying current system...

assert failed: apply.patch.check(...)

E :Error executing updater binary in zip

E :Error installing zip file

I'm wondering if my problem stems from the fact that when I upgraded to ZVB, I did so using a flashable package. Perhaps that is messing with the system? Otherwise, I've done nothing to the phone aside from having it rooted & unlocked; I've never added any mods or changed anything.

If that's the case, then a flashable ZVC would be great for me. It would set me up nicely to fail the next update, too. Heh.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Rabbiddog:
Do a search on the forums. I believe someone posted the stock ZVC package after pulling it down from LG. You could always dump that on your SD, boot into recovery and try installing it that way.
