[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CrookedKnight:
Your bootloader is not technically unlocked. Instead it has been bypassed through the "Loki" exploit. This makes no difference whatsoever to you as a user, though. You can flash new ROMs to your heart's content.

With regards to a wipe, when you wipe the system, cache, etc. through your recovery program it will only wipe the folders necessary to erase the OS, kernel, etc. Your downloaded data will be left intact as long as you don't put it in a directory that's used to store OS files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtherrell:
You Cannot unlock the bootloader. There is a workaround called loki that will allow you to install a Lokied recovery. Once you have custom recovery, which it seems you have done, installed then you can flash roms. Just be careful with your wipes to know for sure what you are wiping and be sure to make Nandroid backups to your external sdcard. You can then store a copy on your PC. I do all backups to external sdcard as internal space is limited.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ymDroid:
So...just to confirm...

The official version of ClockworkMOD Tocuh Recovery 6.0.3.6 does have the Loki, correct?

Can I confirm this somewhere?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CrookedKnight:
The exploit is in getting your custom recovery to run at all. If you can boot into CWM, Loki has already done its job.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ymDroid:
Perfect

Makes perfect sense now.

Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ymDroid:
I flashed Bone 1.1.4 with no issues.

My question is regaridng my home screen.

I know custom launchers like NOVA allow you back up your home screen layouts and settings.

Is there anyway to back up your home screen layouts off of the stock launcher, or in this case the stock TouchWiz home screen layouts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mightycaptain:
Titanium Backup. ROM Toolbox PRO also has an excellent back up app included.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ymDroid:
What feature on Titanium let's me back up my home screen layout?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mightycaptain:
When you back up touch wiz home in tibu you can restore just data or the whole thing. Seems like I've done both and it worked out. Clear data from touch wiz home in application manager and you can get back to the default settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ymDroid:
Thank you for your help with this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mightycaptain:
No problem. It's what its all about right. :D

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] IVcruz:
so i was looking around the interwebs for rumor release dates for Android 4.3 on the sprint HTC One. i found some threads of people saying that they thought that the update was supposed to arrive by the end of September. I went on to the sprint website and in the chat I had this conversation with a sprint worker:

Sprint: Thank you for your recent payment. You’re invited to enroll in AutoPay, our most convenient way to pay.

Click here to set up automatic monthly payments or exit the chat window if you don’t need to chat with a Specialist.

Sprint: To chat with a Specialist, type a question below and click SEND.

You: hi i was wondering when the Android 4.3 update will be available for the HTC One

Kristina C.: Thank you for contacting Sprint, my name is Kristina C.. I am happy to help you today.

Kristina C.: Hi.

Kristina C.: You want to verify when is the Android 4.3 update for HTC One, am I correct?

You: yes

Kristina C.: I see, let me check our Android update tools to provide the right information.

Kristina C.: One moment please.

Kristina C.: Thank you for waiting.

You: you're welcome

Kristina C.: Upon checking the Android update tools it showed that there is no information yet on when the Android 4.3 will start to launch, here is what you need to do, please visit our website at www.sprint.com/newsroon.

Kristina C.: www.sprint.com/newsroom so that you can check the update every now and then.

You: ok

Kristina C.: My supervisor confirm that there will be an update this coming 09/23/13 for the Android.

You: is this the Android 4.3 update?

Kristina C.: Yes, and other Android phones update, just check it on 09/23 to 10/06/13.

You: ok thank you very much

does this seem like good evidence for a possible September 23rd release date for Android 4.3 on the HTC One??

Nope.

I don't trust the Sprint chat people. Or Sprint in general. Or HTC.

I once asked via chat if any Sprint stores around me could do a warranty claim (not insurance) for me, and I was referred to a store. I was immediately shot down because I had no insurance. The guy said the chat guy could have been a robot.

Yeesh.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] naturecannon:
Its near for sure, I don't trust the info from Sprint but at the same time just another tidbit of info to confirm SOON. With all that info that Jason Mackenzie has provided lately on twitter and the tweet provided above I would say all is adding up for a very close release.

BUT, will 4.3 satisfie, hell no, few weeks after the update all will be crying for some Kit Kat and complain its not soon enough. I give it a week or two after release...... the crying wheres my kit kat threads will appear :laugh:

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] IVcruz:
i just want them to update to 4.3 due to the fact that the good HTC one roms like viperone rom are for ALL the variants of the HTC one except the sprint variant -_____- and on the rom page it states that the the rom will become availabe to sprint htc ones when they get the 4.2.2 update but they skipped that so hopefully 4.3 will still make those awesome roms available.

[G2 Original Android Development] Han Solo 1:
Once the links go live again, and we install TWRP, does this mean we can flash ROMS now, or do we need to wait for G2-specific development?
[G2 Original Android Development] chrisexv6:
Once ROMs are available specifically for the G2, you can flash them.

Right now there are none, and flashing something from a different phone WILL cause issues.

[G2 Original Android Development] bose301s:
First, try posting in the correct forum for the correct device, this is the LG G2 section.

Second, change the download directory for GooManager from whatever it currently is to /sdcard/goomanager/ and that will fix it.

To add onto cingkrab's post, more specifically can we get loki support for the firmware D801V11B. I checked through the loki patch file and there was no support for that firmware at all.

I have already stated this before in a few other threads, but just to add it again this firmware is valid for Videotron and Wind Mobile phones, the only two variants that have been looked over so far.

Thanks guys for the awesome work :)

[G2 Original Android Development] lazarus2297:
so i have 2.6.3.2 installed and when i tried to flash cyanogen something didn't do right and the phone froze trying to flash the file..that isn't my concern at the moment.. I found out to boot to the hard factory reset option.. but i read where using that option will erase everything.. i noticed the first post mentioned something about removing that with the lates TWRP version.. my question is if i use that option will i be able to get into recovery and then restore my backup?

Please help and thanks!!
[G2 Original Android Development] almahix:
Really glad to have twrp, but is there a way to set the date and time? It seems to be stuck at the CTime(0) value.
[G2 Original Android Development] lazarus2297:
I will answer my own question just in case anyone else has the same question.

using the button press method to get to factory hard reset mode then choosing "yes, factory reset" dies nothing but boot you into TWRP. It will not wipe your entire phone.
[G2 Original Android Development] Charsher47:
Sometimes the phone appears to freeze (ie screen doesn't turn on, buttons don't work) when formatting system which might happen when flashing a ROM, but it's actually still working. You just need to be patient for the ~10 min it takes.

Hey guys, how do i adjust the time?

I can only select the time zone. But there's still error in the time.

And it seems to be affecting the phone. Whenever i reboot, the time and date will be following the recovery time instead of my network time.

I ticked automatic network time.

I'm currently on CM.

Thank you
[G2 Original Android Development] bps119:
Known bug, nothing you can do to correct it at the moment though. Doesn't really matter though, you can simply delay that part of the file name and rename the backup to whatever you want before backing up.

Help! Wiped TOO MUCH!

Hi guys!

I know. Stupid me.

In an attempt to do a full wipe to re-install a backup afterwards, I accidentally ended up deleting EVERYTHING from my G2. Internal storage, external storage, you name it.

I need to get this sucker back to at least being able to do something!

I have access to TWRP, but that's all. I can't seem to do a USB-mount so I can't simply move my back up image to the storage and go from there.

Is there a way to get my G2 back to life?

Any help is GREATLY appreciate.

Thanks,

Kingkeld.

[/COLOR]

I've been trying to do this ALL day. :/

I found two different ways, one using the LG software to simply to a upgrade recovery, but this simply crashes after checking a few things, and the other way using R&D Test Tool, which insists on something that is called CSMG B2C Client, that I can't seem to find anywhere. Also, this way of fixing it suggests that I use a 16Gb firmware file. My phone is 32Gb, and it seems that this will steal 16Gb from me. Not cool.

I read somewhere that the virus checker can be an issue, so I tried turning it off. I feel like I have tried everything and I'm at my Wit's End.

In my frustration, I started wondering if there is a way that I can see if I actually AM missing the files on my phone or if this is just me. I used the file manager in TWRP, and it seems like there is nothing much there, but there ARE a few folders, like:

boot

cache

data

datadata

dev

emmc

etc

external_sd

internal_sd

license

proc

recovery

res

root

sbin

sd-ext

sdcard

selinux

supersu

sys

system

tmp

usb-otg

default.prop

file_context

fstab.goldfish

init

init.rc

property_contexts

seapp_contexts

sepolicy

smpl_boot

ueventd.goldfish.rc

ueventd.rc

Some folders have more folders/files in there. I have no idea which is what.

Can someone enlighten me? I really don't want this phone to remain bricked for eternity. :/

Please help. I'll be happy to buy a couple of beers if someone gets me to get this thing up and running again. :)

Another thought - I DO have a TWRP backup image sitting on my laptop. Is there ANY way I can get this transferred to the phone, so I can simply go from there and re-install that?
[G2 Original Android Development] jesssiii:
Can your computer see the phone at all? If you open cmd, does adb devices see the phone?

[G2 Original Android Development] veloct:
I'm assuming you asked for help in those two threads also? That would be your best bet if you're having issues with those steps.
[G2 Original Android Development] kingkeld:
Sadly, it does NOT see the phone. The phone connects to the PC. I hear the little "connect chirp", and the LG update software recognizes the phone and states that the firmware is updated to latest version. However, it just keeps staying in the LG logo bootloop, with nothing else going on.

I'm no expert on ADB, but when I check adb devices, I get a "List of devices attached" with nothing further. :/
[G2 Original Android Development] veloct:
If the LG driver is properly installed, when you enter "adb devices" into the computer it should return your phone. Following the information on this thread worked perfectly for me.

Also, I would ask for help in that thread since it is specific to your issue. Hijacking this thread is not the best way to go.
[G2 Original Android Development] jesssiii:
OK, if your looping you need to stop that first. Hold the power button down until the phone finally shuts off AND STAYS OFF. Then you'll be able to hold the volume up while plugging in USB on computer. This will put you in download mode to do the return to stock process.

Note: This happened to me and it's important to keep holding power button until the phone has stopped restarting itself.

Apologies for hijacking. You're right, of course. I started out here since my original throught was (an probably still is) that the solution is to get the backup image from my laptop back onto the phone and restore it. :)

I have indeed asked for help over there, but I am severely leary about the solutions, as I also read about people with the 802 32Gb (mine) that seems to lose half their memory capacity because of the software from LG.
[G2 Original Android Development] veloct:
You said you have a backup, all you're going to do is go back to stock then re-root, install recovery, and then restore your backup. I don't see how that's going to be an issue, it's better than a brick.
[G2 Original Android Development] lazarus2297:
Once you follow the instructions to get into recovery just go to advanced and adb sideload any ROM then reboot and copy your backup over then reboot to recovery and restore your backup.. I had to do something similar awhile back there is no need to go back to stock re-root, etc...

Excuse my bad English.
[G2 Original Android Development] 00001101:
Why explain something, that is already explained? Google -> lg g2 loki

https://github.com/djrbliss/loki

http://rootzwiki.com/news/loki-bootloader-bypass-twrp-recovery-come-att-verizon-lg-g2/

Essential Point: Loki is not a bootloader unlock – it’s a way to bypass the locked bootloader that enables you to flash a custom recovery. This means, that the phone's bootloader remains untouched, which is a good thing. The Loki-Patch for the LG G2 is automatically enabled in TWRP - nothing for the user to do, it just works, thanks to the great devs here.
[G2 Original Android Development] unavix:
I read the article. You do not need to unlock bootloader.

But what is the practical reason? Easier to flash TWRP? Easier to apply the warranty if it is not unlocked bootloader?

Excuse my bad English.

I'm grateful that we have TRWP on our phones, but I don't understand why it takes up to 10 minutes to restore a nandroid backup on my G2 when it only took 3 or 4 on my Galaxy Nexus. It seems that the wipes are what take so much longer, even on a phone that is nearly twice as fast. I've read posts that say rm -rf is faster than makefs.
