Hi guys, this is specifically for all you with Canadian variants (D803) of the G2. There are very few ROMs for the Canadian variants (shout out to Houstonn for ROMs and Wootever for kernels, you rock) so I was looking for a way of expanding our flashing possibilities. In the D801 forum I came across a great post by a D801 owner who flashed a D802 (international) ROM by installing it on his G2 and then flashing a kernel that would work with his phone. Turns out it worked for him (with the exception of the PAC rom).

So I decided to try the same method with my Canadian G2 by installing a D802 ROM and then flashing a kernel that works with the Canadian variant (I used Wootever's kernel here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2472318 ). And guess what, it worked fine! Now I don't know if this works with all ROMs but I just thought you should know it worked for me.

Go ahead and try yourselves if you want, please please please backup before flashing ANYTHING. Nandroid should be your favorite word, honestly. Happy flashing!

NOTE: I flashed the D802 LG FLEX UI Rom here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2544359 Everything seems fine except LTE does not seem to work. I'm going to try some other ROMs, feel free to post some of your experiences here if you like.

We should probably make a compatible Rom list since we have no real home thread
[G2 General] royoshukrun:
That's a good idea. Well I'll download a few more ROMs and try 'em out and report back... It's difficult because TWRP takes so damn long to wipe partitions for some reason.
[G2 General] x714x:
Did you set the correct APN for LTE for your carrier? There should be no reason why you cant get LTE using a D802 rom if your APN is right.
[G2 General] xdafoundingmember:
Correct, just find the apn for let and add it
[G2 General] royoshukrun:
Yup I did that and still didn't get LTE. I'm off it though, going to flash some really customizable roms like beanstalk and see if they work.
[G2 General] royoshukrun:

Have you had any luck with AEON or Grievious ROMs for the D803? I tried the AEON ROM with a Bell boot.img but it didn't seem to work.
[G2 General] xdafoundingmember:
Try with houstons kernel
[G2 General] ap27:
No luck I'm afraid. Though I just realized those are D800 ROMs, not D802. Going to try with a D802 ROM now
[G2 General] royoshukrun:
I have not yet, but I'll put 'em on my list.

I'll look at that, too, but I'm sure once there is more CM11 development houstonn will release a compatible kernel. For now Beanstalk is REALLY awesome for your AOSP needs. The only problem is the weak vibration. Otherwise everything works well.
[G2 General] royoshukrun:
Update: Crap, just realized that the kernel was NOT houstonn's, but Wootevers, that I was using. SORRY FOR THE FALSE CREDIT. Both of them still rock though. In other news, Grievous ROM is NOT confirmed working with Wootever's kernel, so yeah. It boots and most things are fine, but the camera will not work.: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2546655 "Cannot connect to camera".

Anyone tried CM11 based roms? All of them give me an error and never flash. Something like "Updater binary error, Device not supported"

Only rom I've seen work apart from the Beanstalk one is Slimkat with Houstonn's Paranoid Android D803 kernel
[G2 General] martelman:
If you have some time and really want CM 11. Download a version for D802. Open the zip and edit the updater script and change the first lines with D802 to D803.

Then you can use ayysir CM kernel variant. You will also need to have the superSU zip to flash and get back root as you will lose root once you flash the kernel.

I downloaded the D801 version not even paying attention and did this and CM has been working great.
[G2 General] Freka:
Any d803 kernels that I could use to flash on D802? The one mention in the first post has been discontinued.. :(
[G2 General] omegajester:
I'm currently running a T Mobile rom on my phone (Claro PR/Canadian (Wind/VPR) D801/D803 [basically the same]). I just flashed a T-Mobile based modem (if I didn't, I could never get a stable 3G/4GLTE signal) and a custom kernel (Wootever) on top of a T-Mobile based Rom (Buckeye V2.1). Works great. Tethering works, LTE works (albeit with a small tweak) and wifi calling works. Basically I transformed this phone into a full fledged T Mobile D801.

I don't see any reason why this can't be done with other phone models.
[G2 General] noduff:
WIND Mobile phone is the D801 model not a D803 like the other Canadian models.

I tried to update to 4.4 while keeping root, but messed up somewhere along the way. Now I can't flash system.img - fastboot says the buffer isn't big enough? - and so my phone won't boot past the opening Motorola logo.

Any suggestions? I'm on OSX, which is why I haven't been able to try RSD Lite.

EDIT: The speficic error info after running 'fastboot flash system.img system.img' is

sending 'system.img' (971855 KB)...

finished. total time: 0.337s

EDIT 2: SOLVED! Turns out that the older fastboot files have issues with large file sizes. I used the new fastboot file from here (zip file) and instructions #2 from here, specifically the following fastboot instructions:

astboot erase cache

fastboot erase customize

fastboot erase clogo

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot flash system system.img

Two questions about the following thread (can't post in dev threads until 10 posts are made)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47140596&postcount=1

Does anyone still have the files? The dropbox link doesn't contain any files

Is an external microsd card necessary?

The instructions are

su
cd /mnt/extSdCard/MJ7_tether_unlock/
sh tether.sh

Wouldn't it be fine to copy the MJ7_tether_unlock folder to root and use the following . . . ?

su
sh /sdcard/MJ7_tether_unlock/tether.sh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
I fixed the link. Should download now. And no you cant use that command the reasoning has to do with how I wrote the script. If you dont have a micro sdcard you could also just make a new folder named "extSdCard" in the /mnt directory and then move the unzipped tether folder there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] darker_slayer:
I couldn't get r/w in /mnt

I know there's probably a smarter way to do it, and I never tried the chmod you recommended on /system . . . but I re-wrote your tether and untether sh files to use /sdcard/tether instead of /extSdCard/MJ7_Tether_Unlock

I'm not sure how to remove the "crapware" bundled into the VZW S4, but every time I connect it via usb (to my Mint 15 laptop or W7 machine) it asks me to install some Verizon helper junk. It also mounts as a CD-ROM (due to some .ini file)

Does anyone know where this "storage" area is and if it's safe to blow all that crapware away? My S4 gets mounted as CD-ROM everytime whether or not I have USB debugging enabled. In W7 if I cancel it's "Would you like to install this Verizon helper software?" then the S4 is mounted as a portable media player. In Mint 15, I can easily unmount the ROM and the S4 is mounted as a portable media player.

Since I couldn't get past this, I just moved the renamed "tether" folder over to /sdcard which is the only way I can get the phone to mount.

Surge, thanks for the framework patch, and scripts. I like the extSdCard approach since it is always preserved, but it's just a lot easier for me to use the /sdcard since I've not got an external SD and am too cheap to buy one just for this :)

After running the scripts, I just copied the entire folder over to my computer in case the /sdcard is ever reformatted

I can't attach the whole thing since I'm filesize limited, but I attached the folder with everything except the original MJ7framework-res.apk

Obviously the instructions are close your original, except you just move the tether folder into /sdcard (which is consquently what shows up as "Phone" when mounted as a portable media player storage area in Mint 15???). Then just

su

cd /sdcard/tether/

sh tether.sh

Thank again surge
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
I don't recall recommending to chmod /system as that would lead to a brick if done improperly. Also I guess you could change the script and replace all instances of "/extSdCard" to "/sdcard" which is what you did, I just wanted the zip and folder to be named in such a way that youd easily be able to tell what it was. But why even bother with using a pc? I was saying to run the commands through terminal emulator on the phone.

P.S. /system/etc/autorun.iso
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] darker_slayer:
I ran them from terminal emulator. I was just referring to mixing the files over to the phone. ES file Explorer wouldn't write in mnt. When plugged in to the laptop I just prefer to move stuff straight in. The only thing I could get to mount was a scarf

Anyway thanks again

Also, does removing the auto run iso from etc have any adverse effects?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zelmo88:
Removing or renaming the autorun.iso file does not stop the USB connection from connecting as "installer" when you first plug it in. There is still a delay of 20-30 seconds before it switches to "connected as media device" after you plug it in. If anyone has a permanent solution to this, please post it! I've tried changing the settings in the hidden menu *#7284#, but the settings don't stick and revert back to the "connect as installer" after a reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] darker_slayer:
Thanks for the info, I was going to ask about this in a separate thread. After your reply looks like I need to look for some other method.

Also, the phone never mounts anything other than /sdcard/ right? Moving things to other places requires an explorer app?

To add to the growing number of noob questions, is it still possible to run ES File Explorer with SU in version 3? I know I used this way in the past, but I can't find the option and it's not showing me a bunch of stuff like /efs/carrier/HiddenMenus or letting me past into extSdCard

Is there a free root explorer if ES can no longer do it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zelmo88:
I use ES File Explorer without any problems. Do you have "root explorer" switched ON in "Tools" in the ES File Explorer?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] darker_slayer:
Nope :o

Looked for it in settings, didn't think to check tools
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boconnor341:
When I decided on getting a Moto G (and N5) for my mom and I, I was planning on Solavei. BUT.. they decided to increase their prices, so I am looking at T Mobile now.

A few problems I am running into (with both phones)

1. Both phones are very new, so it is not an option to choose when signing up on their prepaid site. Do I just choose a different phone and throw the SIM in anyways? If so, which phone.. the Nexus 4?

2. There appears to be two options to sign up on T mobile with two lines. I would like to choose $70 and $30(after second line discount) plans for me and my mom, totaling $100 for the Moto G and N5. When I look to sign up this way, it wants to charge me for a SIM "starter kit". If I choose to use their prepaid site, (prepaid-phones.tmobile....), the SIM is free but there appears to be no family plan option, so there is no discount on the second line. Is there a way to get the best of both worlds? AKA, Can I get a free SIM and a discounted second line?

I realize this is not the N5 forum but information on both phones is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Voltaire302:
Get the prepaid starter kits from the website. Then if you take the phones into the store you should be able to get the discount as long as it isn't online only.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paulzt:
Yes, you can set up over phone

Hi.. Like previously mentioned, order the sim kits from carrier on website, they waive activation fee if ordered online. When received, (make sure to order micro sim for Moto G) write down numbers from sim card and imei# separately, and call carier with info

They will correspond soon with imei #and assign phone number or port number, and reboot phone. They give it up to two hours but no need to leave home. I've done this with some Chinese phones that are not on their list and is been no problem. good luck... Paul

I'm currently on the i317 running 11/28 build.

I was at a banquet last night and the camera performance is really bad.

In a somewhat brightly lit lobby, the auto-exposure did not compensate for the flash so the picture was over-exposed and a lot of chromatic blur/purple fringing

In the dimly lit banquet hall, the images are REALLY dark, despite the flush and setting exposure to +2.

Not sure if this is a KitKat problem or the ROM. My friends stock i317 had no problems with shooting under the same scenarios.

Anyone have similar experiences?
