Success at last!

I finally managed to get the tether feature working again after numerous failed efforts. It appears as though my previous failures were indeed related to an older MobileHotspot.odex file that the flashing of the hotspot mod file did not remove. Now, I only have the following three files in the system/app:

1) HotspotProvision.apk 30 Dec 13 21:23:00 97.83k rw-r-r

2) MobileHotspot.apk 31 Dec 13 06:40:00 2.66MB rw-r-r

3) MobileHotspot.odex 30 Dec 13 21:32:00 2.64.99k rw-r-r

Everything is working once again, and the Hotspot widget even works, now meaning that I no longer must go into settings to start tethering!

Many thanks for all of the help. This is an amazing group of people!

Happy New Year to all!

I'm on TWRP 2.6.3.4 and it no-longer has the format issue.
[Verizon LG G2] jkloeker:
HELP!!

Was on the stock rom that I had rooted and decided to flash this rom. It took awhile but the rom finally finished flashing. Decided to wipe dalvik and cache just to be safe and the phone just went black. It wont unlock or turn on. Battery was at 100% when I started. Any ideas what what I can do?

ETA: Apparently it just took it awhile to wipe. After about 10 minutes the phone lit back up and let me unlock it to see the wipe had completed. Rebooted and all seems to be ok for now!
[Verizon LG G2] popkurn611:
How long does it take to wipe cache??? Been sitting there for 10 minutes....took 30 seconds on my gs4. Using cwm

Edit: It finally completed, wow that takes long!!!!

I got this error too and just went back and hit reboot system. Is this normal or is it something that needs to be fixed. My baseband is still showing 11a but software version is 12b
[Verizon LG G2] garywojdan81:
Don't know about cwm but twrp can be set to use a faster method to wipe under the advanced tab. As far as the baseband goes, if all you did was flash this rom then you didn't update the baseband. That only updates through the ota or through a separate flash of the updated modem. There's a thread in development that has all the modem flashable zips.
[Verizon LG G2] popkurn611:
What is the advantage of flashing the updated modem? Do you know anything about the lokifying error after the flash is done?
[Verizon LG G2] garywojdan81:
I flashed the updated modem but I'm still on the 11a stock rom. What I've noticed is faster hand-off between 3g and 4g and slightly better signal strength. As far as the Loki issue, seems to be some lingering incompatibility with some of the recovery images.
[Verizon LG G2] popkurn611:
Well I noticed since I flashed the 12b software my battery is draining slightly faster. Not sure if I flash the updated modem if that will help.

Can you link me to the updated modem zip? Flash as normal?
[Verizon LG G2] garywojdan81:
It flashes normally, you can Google it or just search through XDA. It's on this forum somewhere.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Here 12B Loki patched ROM for those who took ota. Use freegee from play store n install twrp.

[Verizon LG G2] popkurn611:
What if we use cwm?
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Haven't tested it.
[Verizon LG G2] billjohnson:
I'm testing it with the latest patched CWM right now. I'll post an update in a minute. It did patch the bootloader successfully now it's just formatting /cache.

UPDATE: Just booted and the device seems to be working perfectly. Will start restore but it looks like we're in business....Now we just need other devs to begin the 12B patching. Thanks so much to the OP for this!
[Verizon LG G2] popkurn611:
What does this patch actually do? So I just flash this as normal over what I have now?
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
It let's u boot if u took the 12b ota. I realized this after I did full wipe. A dirty flash let me boot.
[Verizon LG G2] popkurn611:
Oh okay I did a dirty flash as well. So do I just flash this over the current stock 12b ROM I'm running?

Does this also fix the failed msg when flashing about not being able to lokify the boot image?

Thanks man
[Verizon LG G2] billjohnson:
I'm no dev so I hope I'm not speaking out of turn....but since the bootloader is still locked technically it needs "loki-fied" once the ROM is flashed. For some reason this latest OTA messed up CWM to where it didn't have the right permissions to sign the boot image? Someone please correct me if I'm way off.
[Verizon LG G2] popkurn611:
OK sounds about right to me. Did you just dirty flash this over the stock 12b rom your currently running
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Dirty flash over previous version is OK.

I did a full wipe just to feel like brand new when I realized it wouldn't boot. It might boot on full wipe for those who didn't do 12b ota.

But 12b ota blocked the previously made Loki patch the bypassed the security check to boot.

Thankfully the freegee dev patched the Loki to work on new ota!!!
[Verizon LG G2] popkurn611:
So what I still don't understand is I rooted on 11a and the first ROM I flashed was your 12b stock. After the flash was complete I got the failed lokify msg, but after reboot it still successfully flashed the updated 12 update. So by flashing the patch, what is it exactly gonna benefit to us? I just want a slightly better understanding since my phone is working fine on your stock rom even though I did get the lokify msg in cwm
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Patch fixes boot.img to boot on those who took 12b ota. If u got error u probably didnt get boot.img flashed but were still able to boot with old boot.img.
[Verizon LG G2] popkurn611:
Oh OK. Well I flashed the patch either way so guess all is good. Thanks for the explanations
[Verizon LG G2] billjohnson:
Yes sir I did a full wipe and everything is running pretty good. I grabbed the standard 12B from this thread...or maybe it was another. Can't remember. Either way it needed a bit of de-bloating but I'm not worried about that. Hopefully the ROM game will be fully running again within the next couple of weeks. Support these devs and all their hard work guys!
[Verizon LG G2] hollywoodS14:
So is there a difference between actually taking the vzw release ota and flashing this ROM and modem to update? Does the patch need to be flashed either way? And does the patch just apply to flashing roms in twrp or everything?
[Verizon LG G2] billjohnson:
From my understanding it's the same whether you're using the LG tool or OTA. You still need to flash the latest patched CWM or TWRP if you're running a 12B radio.
[Verizon LG G2] dajmanjt:
I would disagree with this. Never used the patch. Updated to 12b modem and then 12b Rom and never had any issues flashing zips from twrp. Flashed a kernel today in fact.
[Verizon LG G2] billjohnson:
Hmm that's strange. But I'm glad you haven't ran into any issues friend!
[Verizon LG G2] hollywoodS14:
i didst use either method. I flashed the rom this thread is for. Is it the radio or the rom that determine the need for the patch?
[Verizon LG G2] billjohnson:
I was thinking the same thing...But then if you get an old radio with a new ROM I thought that it would never initiate contact with the tower? I could be wrong. Who knows haha. That's why I'm not a dev....no time to study this stuff in depth.
[Verizon LG G2] hollywoodS14:
you can intermix radios and roms of the same carrier. i used the 12b rom for a while before i flashed the 12b radio.
[Verizon LG G2] billjohnson:
Right I've done that before....But I've also had some ROMs that absolutely didn't work with a certain radio. That was really true on the Thunderbolt...man those were the days haha.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
If u did ota 12B update, u need patch for a fresh install. That's only reason for patch so it can boot.
[Verizon LG G2] rfarrah:
FWIW, I was on 11A and just flashed this ROM about a week ago whenever MM put it out here. I was already on the 12B modem. No problems at all. Today I went ahead and flashed the TWRP 2.6.3.4 OTG img via Flashify and so far....so good. Haven't yet tried an OTG backup but will do so later today.
[Verizon LG G2] hollywoodS14:
I installed "[ROM OTA] LG G2 Verizon Stock Rooted VS98012B" via twrp from 12a. I rebooted checked sw version was 12b , played around for a while then rebooted into twrp and flashed the 12b modem. Rebooted and been using the phone since then. Software and base band are both confirmed 12b. So at this point i only need the patch if I'm going to do a full wipe to install a new rom correct? I can dirty flash with no issues (loki wise)? Flash mods, older radios, etc with no issues?
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Did u do a full factory restore and do ota's through Verizon to 12B? Not flash ROM to 12B of flash anything.

Patch is for those people.

Or may be u just bought the VZW G2 and r on 12B already. U flash recovery, do full wipe and flash ROM. Without patch u probably can't boot.
[Verizon LG G2] hollywoodS14:
No I didn't vzw ota to 12b. I flashed your 12b stock rom and the 12b radio via TWRP.. So I don't need the patch then?
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Nope. If all runs good ur ok.
[Verizon LG G2] Rinzler:
What does dirty flash mean?
[Verizon LG G2] rfarrah:
Just flash over the existing ROM without wiping anything, except maybe the caches.
[Verizon LG G2] garywojdan81:
I'm sorry if I missed it somewhere, but does ota rootkeeper work to retain root or has everyone used ioroot16?
[Verizon LG G2] rfarrah:
Tried to backup today and Recovery would not load at all, or it may have loaded to a black screen. Anyway, booted back into system and used Flashify to install my old Recovery. Good to go again.

Next, loaded MicroMod's 2.6.3.4 from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49259276&postcount=300

and flashed the zip using flashify. 2.6.3.4 Recovery booted just fine but the OTG backup failed: "Unable to create backup folder". My microsd card reader may have died. :crying:

I'm waiting to get my OTG cable to test.

Out of curiosity...

When we update over OTA, it updates the radio too? Right?

Then, why if we flash this rooted OTA does it not update the radio... and we have to do that separately?
[Verizon LG G2] garywojdan81:
The official ota has all of the encryption keys necessary to update every partition, even the boot partition, which is why you can't use it once you've installed a custom recovery. Custom recoveries, especially ours with the Loki patch, alter the boot partition. The remedy for those of us with custom recoveries, is to pull the system partition, and anything else related to just the os, and package it separately with a compatible updater script so we can get all the benefits of the updated os without interfering with any other partition.

I could be wrong, but I believe that's how it works.
[Verizon LG G2] Sharpbarb:
I'm currently on VS98011A. My phone has been bugging me to update for a while, but the update won't stick. The phone restarts and I get a message saying the update failed.

I'm rooted using the stock recovery. I deleted a bunch of the uneccessary apps and I'm also using the HotspotProvision.apk. I thought I read restoring the original provisioning check apk worked for some folks, but not for me. How can I apply this update?
[Verizon LG G2] garywojdan81:
You're going to need to replace the apps you removed, especially if they were system apps.
[Verizon LG G2] Sharpbarb:
I was afraid of that. I guess I'll just have to flash the whole rom.
[Verizon LG G2] garywojdan81:
Yeah, always better to freeze than remove if you want to preserve your ota eligibility.

[Verizon LG G2] Damasterjj:
quick question does this rom have radio and kernel? or do I need to flash anything else?
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Just simple ROM.
[Verizon LG G2] Damasterjj:
OK, so that means I still need to flash radio? I just installed custom revery yesterday.
[Verizon LG G2] crashN2u:
Ok, so I've already had a scare with an OTA, while I was out and away from my computer. I haven't really used TWRP and want to make sure I do this right. Let me know if I'm doing this stuff in the right order, or am missing a step. Thanks.

1. Download the OTA and Radios

2. Boot into TWRP

3. Select BACKUP and backup everything

4. Select WIPE. Select ADVANCED WIPE. Wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache

5. Select INSTALL. Find the OTA (anyone know where it will be stored so I don't have to search everywhere?)

6. Flash OTA.

7. Select REBOOT. Select RECOVERY.

8. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for radios.

9. Select REBOOT. Select SYSTEM.

Just realized I'm on 11A. Do I need to install 12A first before 12B?
[Verizon LG G2] rfarrah:
Looks good to me. You do not need to install 12A before 12B. Good luck!
[Verizon LG G2] garywojdan81:
Looks good, assuming that the ota you're referring to is the one from this thread. If so, you'll find it in your download folder on your sdcard. Assuming you d/l them with your phone.
[Verizon LG G2] jdembones:
After going to 12B, my 4G seems slower to respond. Should I have wiped any of the cache?
[Verizon LG G2] rfarrah:
I would wipe both caches and see if it helps. If not, give the 12A radio a shot.
[Verizon LG G2] jdembones:
Wiping both cache seemed to help the in browser.
[Verizon LG G2] crashN2u:
Thanks guys. I haven't created a Nandroid with TWRP before, it's taking forever....
[Verizon LG G2] litobirdy:
Ok here's where I'm confused. I have stock rooted 11a. I want 12b but I understand I can't just OTA or else i'll get stuck in bootloop. So what do I do? I don't want to install a rom, I'd rather keep it stock and leave what I already have edited as far as freezing apps etc. So do i unroot, install OTA, reroot? or is there another way?
[Verizon LG G2] rfarrah:
If you're rooted, just flash the 12B radio. No stress.
[Verizon LG G2] litobirdy:
but what about the rest of the update? sounds like stuff in the changelog that makes it a bit better.
[Verizon LG G2] kaluna00:
How do you flash 12b radio?

How do you flash just the 12a and 12b radio? I am on 11a (i think)

So Can I unroot my current stock rooted 11a OTA G2 with loki CWM , run OTA, install OTA 12b, reroot, reinstall CWM?

Or does unrooting my phone kill it and somehow resets my phone or something?
[Verizon LG G2] garywojdan81:
Root isn't going to cause a problem with the ota, but cwm will. You have to revert back to the stock recovery and undo any changes you've made to any stock system apps. Unless you want to go the easy route and just dirty flash the 12b rom/modem.
[Verizon LG G2] litobirdy:
really? dam, I deleted plenty of bloatware, froze some too but mostly deleted. That sucks, sounds like I'll have to just revert back to complete stock, then install update and redo all the rooting, cwm, freezing,removing etc etc?? or install a stock rooted rom that has 12b? I know stock rooted rom with 12b would be the fastest way but I don't feel like messing with roms. then everything is dependent on that rom

Wait are you saying I can install the dirty flash file with CWM over my current rooted CWM recovery 11a stock phone and it'll be like if my phone was verizon stock with 12 B OTA? then I would just have to install a recovery since that dirty file is rooted?
[Verizon LG G2] Damasterjj:
I deleted and froze some app, and I was able to flash over with 12B. The apps I deleted was just re added and if I remember correctly the frozen apps stayed frozen

remember the old one has to be stock/rooted and the new one has to be stock/rooted. I don't think freezing deleting apps matters because the new rom will re add the apps again. Also make sure you did not make any modification on the rom that is being flash over.
[Verizon LG G2] litobirdy:
I have the xposed install and g2 xposed
[Verizon LG G2] Damasterjj:
can't say for sure.. maybe you can try uninstalling those mods first. If the mods has different file name then it will stay on your phone after flashing just make sure it compatible with the new one.
[Verizon LG G2] garywojdan81:
Yes, you can dirty flash this 12b rom right over the top of the 11a rom you're running & then flash the 12b modem found on this forum and you'll have every useful update from the ota. Your recovery will survive, not sure about loki with cwm, but root might not. I don't know if voodoo ota rootkeeper will work to keep it, but ioroot16 will root it.
[Verizon LG G2] litobirdy:
so I won't run into a bootloop since I have loki cwm? And if I lose loki CWM. i can just cwm back on from the other forum then right?
[Verizon LG G2] garywojdan81:
If you flash this rom you won't lose your recovery at all.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcarmona:
Hello all!

Today I've finally got updated to 4.3 and Sense 5.5 (Thank you Vodafone Spain for the delay!) and claimed my 25GB of Google Drive and all.

So, I'm happy!

One of the things that I hated the most when changing from my HTC Sensation to HTC One was the lack of the possibility to keep the phone on while charging (Yes, call me crazy, but I like easy access while charging).

So, I was happy that with 4.3 this will be back on my phone (http://droider.eu/2013/10/27/changes-in-the-sense-5-5android-4-3-update-for-htc-one/)

But, I cannot get "Stay awake" (In developer Options) to un-grey. (I tried the seven clicks on build number, but it tells me I am already a developer).

Any of you has any idea of what may be happening?

Hi,

Recently while using my T Mobile MDA compact as an MP3 player (with the supplied headphones) i have been recieving some minor electic shocks through the ear buds of the headset. It is accompanied by a loud static buzzing sound. It is quite unpleasant but not too painful. It is quite intermittent, happening every 3-4 hours of listening. Has anyone heard of this before or know if its the earphones or the actual unit to blame?

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] duke911:
dude!! If you really intend to use your Magician as MP3 player... you should get a decent ear bud preferred with a 2.5 jack not 3.5 mm to fit in your Magician... if you already have a 3.5 mm ear bud, you can get 2.5 <-> 3.5 mm adapter from e-bay or any place on the net.. Or you can even build your own adapter http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=24138&highlight=3+5

Or you can try this trick http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=handsfreethatdoesntsoundlikecrap

I tried it, and it works like charm: D

But listening to music for more than 30 min with original headphones... well I believe this is a crime... these headphones are not meant for music.. just ordinary talking...

and Yes.. The buzzing is quiet normal since its build quality is not that much good

Troubleshooting I did:

Using the standard phone earpiece: echo

Taking off protective case while using earpiece: echo

Taking off the phone battery cover (back cover): no echo…

So it looks like the back cover is the culprit… Any explanation for this?

[MENTION=4944297]S.a.M.e.R_d[/MENTION] as a team mate of yours I am going to try help fixing this with you since i still have the htc desire hd...... okay so when my other team infernal ported sense 5 and sense 4+ we could never get WiFi working even when we had all the proper files there.... But one day I did a lot of reading and research and couldn't find a fix at all. And I took a few gambles and got it working and I'll share a few things I did ..

1. Make sure you have all the proper files that made WiFi work with sense 4.1.... Sounds crazy but my old team did it

2. You might have to hex edit WPA_supplicant and point it to the correct modules

3. If none of them work still then keep what you edited jn the rom there and delete this file "android.hardware.wifi.direct.xml" located in "/system/etc/permissions/" And reboot.

For sound try using

1. Sound files from HTC Desire 500 files

2. Sound files from HTC Desire 600

3. Or from the DHD sense 4.1 system

And about camera.. You won't be able to fix that because that's kernel related
