if you want or need root, then root. if you dont want root or dont need it, then dont root. it doesnt matter what everyones opinion on the matter is, they are not you and dont know what your needs are. my guess is that you dont need it, since you arent decisive and need opinions. i need an opinion also, should i wash my hair today?

---------- Post added at 02:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 PM ----------

to update to 4.4 after having root is a non problem.. you either will have to flash a prerooted rom, or youll youll take the ota update, then reflash a custom recovery and the su binaries. both of which takes just a few minutes.

[LG Optimus G (International)] bilalraybrig:
Hello guys,

I upgraded my friend's recently purchased LG Optimus G.

I rooted the phone successfully with TWRP recovery.

I Unlocked the boot loader successfully.

I flashed a custom android 4.3 rom.

The phone was working absolutely fine.

Then, my friend took it home with him, and tried to flash another custom rom (He is a noob).

Now, after rebooting, the phone flashed the 'google' logo with a grey 'unlocked lock' icon and the screen goes blank.

I can not even figure out if the phone is on or not (the soft keys does not light up if I touch them).

After all, I tried to use the UNBRICK method using a guide but the problem is that the software won't proceed after extracting .KDZ file.

I tried downloading .KDZ file using the xda app which asks for phone model and serial number for the download, several times but no success.

I tried downloading the .KDZ file using a URL in which i have to write the IMEI number to get myself a download link. That shows corrupted too.

Can anybody help me to get a working KDZ file?? I think this will get me through the process.

OR

If there is any other possible way, please let me know.

Thanks in advance :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] Gkikas:
I had the same problem. Try downloading several KDZ files cause the programm won't download the good one at once. I got mine at the 4th attempt.
[LG Optimus G (International)] atifsh:
1: Google logo plus unlock icon seems nexus device. May be he tried to convert it to nexus 4. I never tried it nor know if it requires any different way to get stock, so search.

2: download kdz from here choose 1gb or less kdz.

[LG Optimus G (International)] bilalraybrig:
Thanks for the help.

I hope this will work :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] bilalraybrig:
By the way,

What is the problem with greater than 1 GB files? :)

Just curious :P
[LG Optimus G (International)] atifsh:
kdz installer we have cant extract files greater than 1.05 GB i do manage to get 1 or 2 files that were 1.08 GB but most wont.

max is 1.05 GB in my experience.
[LG Optimus G (International)] bilalraybrig:
okay, thanks for the information! :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] bilalraybrig:
Hey! I have done the download, used the update tool in CS_EMERGENCY mode, done with everything. now the phone is stuck on the LG logo.. :(

I put it in recovery mode, and i used the wipe tool which was told in the guide, but the phone again stuck with a lying android bot with an exclamationary sign in a triangle. :(

What can I do next?
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
This happens.when you are not reading before. If you would do that,you would see that you need to perform a hard resetafter using kdz updater.

My advice,use the updater again and do a hard reset.on stock it's easy.

Sent from Asylum via LG E975/smart phones,dumb people.
[LG Optimus G (International)] atifsh:
Don't know what guides you all are using :mad:

Only guide you need

1: get kdz 1.05 GB or less for your specific phone

2: using kdz flasher flash the kdz

3: if your phone boots goto backup and reset and do wipe. If not shutdown phone and do hard reset / wipe

4: root your phone And i mean just root your phone.

5: use freegee to unlock boot and get custom recovery. (If you want this)
[LG Optimus G (International)] davevinci:
U missed the hard reset!! Since kdz is dirty flashing!
[LG Optimus G (International)] j0e74:
This is so frustrating. I've downloaded kdz file so many times from 1.05Gb to a 0.98Gb, none gives a correct extraction in kdz update.

Hi all! :lol:

I would like to know if there is any possibility for two partitions on Qtek 2020? Like on computer where you can have Windows XP on one partition and windows 98 on the other - because you have a program that runs just on win 98'!

Is something like this possible on XDA II - WM 2k5 and WM 2003SE, for instance? :roll:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] pillzbury:
Hi all,

Just got my Note 2, and flashed 10.2 without noticing the known issue with the new opensource GPS. I read the fix in this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39761558&postcount=702

I have 2 questions:

First, I'm coming from the Sprint Epic 4G Touch (SGS II variant), where there were issues when flashing new ROMs where we had to flash back to a "safe" kernel. Just wanted to confirm that there are no such issues with this phone, e.g. I can flash directly from my current CM 10.2 installation, back to a stock ROM, and then directly back to CM 10.2 (just wiping data and cache in between each flash) without any additional steps.

Second, does anyone know if I can take the shortcut of making a nandroid of my CM setup now, flashing the stock ROM, getting a GPS lock, then doing a clean install of CM, then restoring the nandroid? Will the GPS fix survive the nandroid restore? I took all day setting up my new phone yesterday just the way I like it, and I'd rather not have to go through it again.

Thanks in advance everyone!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] guisar:
There's no sgii like issues. You can flash a tw rom then revert back to 4.3 without issue. I found you need to have a gps lock with Google maps to get it to work in 4.3 when you flash back
[LG Optimus 4X HD] darkren:
Does any 1 knows a kernel especially good for gaming
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kessaras:
im not that experienced. but since 3 days that i was reading all threads around , i figured that werewolf kernel has the top cpu + gpu overclocking. though by default is set at some medium values or you could use the phone to keep u warm in the winter.

---------- Post added at 05:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

also because im an overclocking maniac and my pc is already 50% overclocked with liquid cpu cooler and more 6 air coolers, keep in mind that u cant overclock any machine more than 20% which is stable. so the max stable overclocking for our optimus cpu is to go to 1700. but thats the MAXIMUM stable. maximum means that it will get high temperature which is bad. but its ok. the optimus has functions that lower the cpu automatically so it cool again. If u connect the phone to charge it and play a game with 1700 cpu frequency it will get to max temperature in some minutes. so u wont be able to get any better perfomance from that. RESULTING: To overclock any machine u need to find a way to keep it cold. if the machine is cold then u can overclock as much u want. the phone doesnt have a way to keep cold, except if u hug an air-condition.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] darkren:
Thankyou verymuch for explaining :) but is there a possible way to make our phone cooler just like a pc fan cools the pc?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] abhi08638:
Some people have claimed getting a new non lg battery reduces heat because our battery is wrapped with a plastic that does not disperse hear well

Also others have bought graphite sheets

sent from my Optimus 4x

just hit the thanks button
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kessaras:
only 2. one is to be always next to an air-condition and the other is underclocking not overclocking. its impossible to overclock a phone to play smoother games and also keep it cool. its not like you can open it and put a fan inside :rolleyes: all this overclocking thing is useful only if u wanna have some live wallpaper + many widgets running smoothly.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] trikomlabs:
imho : it's not the battery that become hotter.. it's the cpu & gpu.. the battery position is below the LG logo..

you can feel the hot area is upper side of the LG logo...that's where the cpu placed..

Agreed. No pen offset.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] marcushg:
do you know if we can flash it over the sphereengine 4.2.2 rom? will we ever be able to flash the civ kernel for 422 over this one? is a factory reset needed?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] civato:
As there is no update in the kernel and framework there is still a offset, maybe it is not that great for you but for people using it for drawing it is.

Also look at the text cursor when using the s-pen in browser text (search bar) it is 3mm of to the left.

Just download it true sammobile and flash with odin.

Yes as samsung didn't release a update it is still the same kernel source (with s-pen problem). And no no need for factory reset if you are already on 4.2.2.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jazzespresso:
now you gonna be mad at me asking this (again), but I will ask : I am on your rev 3.2 ROM, which is based on UK offical 4.2.2 ROM.

because it is UK firmware, having some issue with google play store, and some google apps since it takes i am in UK while my tablet is US base...that could be only reason I will flash offical 4.2.2 US firmware.

if I download US 4.2.2 firmware from sammobile and just odin flash over rev 3.2 ROM, would it cause too much issue? or you would recommend clean install?

p.s: I f...king LOVE your ev 3.2 ROM, hope you can have another version based on US firmware.....:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] kisrita:
I got the OTA update. The tablet now reports it is Android 4.2.2.

The good news is, I don't see the reported S pen offset (but I did only a short test.) I also appear to have been able to keep root (Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper).

BUT! Android 4.2 introduced multi-user capabilities. I cannot find such a feature in the Samsung version of Android 4.2! Did Samsung purposely remove features added by Google??? WHY?!? This was the ONLY reason I was looking forward to Android 4.2. I use my tablet for work, and I would like to have separate work and separate personal profiles. It's been nearly a year since this was made possible. I knew from previous Samsung tablet experience to expect Samsung to lag 2 major OS updates behind my Nexus devices, but I never expected them to actually REMOVE functionality from Android when they finally release an update.

Someone please tell me that I'm wrong, and it's in there somewhere and I just didn't find it!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jazzespresso:
It is not enabled by default by Samsung. it is even like that on official UK 4.2.2 version too.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] mustbepbs:
I assume this is the same update that the UK got a few weeks ago? I flashed it for my US version and everything seems to be fine. Any reason to switch to this one?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] civato:
I always update to the newest release, so rev3.3 of flexbeam release will be delayed by a week as I'm using this new release as base.

But a lot of work needs to be done, framework rework and other stuff.............
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jazzespresso:
For a few reason (speaking for myself);

because using UK firmware, your tablet thinks it is belong to UK region, thus some apps won't display in google play store that's not available overseas such as Europe. That would be a problem, if you have paid apps (like I have) and they are not available in UK, then you can't able to download. And some apps displayed as euro pricing in app store, while in US play store prices are much lover!?

Second issue would be Amazon Kindle; Now, i have bunch of book purchased when I was on US firmware (the original) 4.1.2, when I flashed UK firmware (I am using Civ's ROM which is based on UK firmware), I realized some of my books not available, when I tried to download, Amazon Kindle prompted me that these books not available for the region..etc (can't recall exact message).

in addition, google services and apps acting a bit weird (nothing show stopper though)...while my Nexus 7 (US base) getting constant updates, my Note 8.0 is not always...

anyway, there are couple of things that quite annoying, so that coould be only reasons I would probably re-flash official US 4.2.2 firmware, but I just love Civ's ivZ-FLEX-BEAM-REV3.2 + SphereEngine ROM, that's only thing stopping me to flash US 4.2.2 firmware, but if reasons i tried outlined above start annoying more and more, I maybe back to official US 4.2.2 firmware until then hoping Civ's build another one based on US 4.2.2 come to rescue us...

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 PM ----------

OK...make my day and just tell me:fingers-crossed:; if there's good possibility that you may release rev3.3 of flexbeam based on official US 4.2.2 firmware?...I know asking you for another version of your ROM based on official US 4.2.2 firmware is quite selfish here since you don't have a lot of time...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] v35lee:
How are you all getting this update? All day long the OTA with the device update has been giving either a 'wait in line' error or a network/server problem error. Trying to update via Kies has been a complete nightmare - maybe 1 in 100 tries it will show the update available, but then hang when trying to install.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] ilostmypistons:
Try updating Kies
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] cfendrick:
I had to use Kies to update as the ota was unavailable or would have a server error.

Update looks fine, but the s-pen when going to point and select text has the line shifted to the left. However it still endes up in the right spot.

Adobe photoshop touch failed to launch and needed cache cleared. S-pen does have a visual shift left with text but still function and does end up where it should. No actual problems witn using photoshop or autodesk.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] wekurtz74:
It won't let you, it doesn't work, or you are not sure how to enable it?

I can't seem to get daydream working, despite turning it on in the settings. Perhaps a reboot will help.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] civato:
Thank you for confirming that s_pen isn't fixed. The offset of cursor is still there so they didn't change a thing in framework.

And no kernel changes so for people that want accurate drawingthe pointer it is still of to 5"clock. Again no framework and kernel changes.

4.2.2 Daydream

You have to press the menu button to tell it when to dream. Stumped me too as it seems like it should work just by sliding the switch to on. I even went to Samsung support and they were clueless. Also it will only work when plugged in.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] akhu:
I message samsung support on twitter. they asked if i did a factory reset and I did so but reluctantly. doing so fixed my issue. i haven't tested daydream yet.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jmill75:

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] smstarrant:
Same here. No issues with getting the update. It did break my Weather+ HD widget I think, I can't add it now. App runs, just no widget. I'll just switch to the built in weather widget though. I got the HD app from Amazon as a free app of the day so no loss.

As far as s-pen accuracy goes I don't have any problems at all. Did not have an issue before the update either. Text input (in place of the keyboard) looks weird if you write slowly because it adds the lines in small segments instead of directly following the pen, but it starts and stops were expected, just not when expected. Sketchbook and Sketch Guru are both pixel accurate as far as I can tell. I see an app in the PlayStore called Reset Spen that may help those that are experiencing this. All the built-in s-pen test stuff I have seen requires the phone app that doesn't come with the N5110.

That's it, I don't know why they put Cellular South, since it's C Spire now and they don't even carry the Note 8, I am guessing it's because it's for the US 5110, and the Cellular South name popped up when they selected US, and nobody noticed.
