[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrclark:
I have installed CyanogenMod on many devices before, and have never had as many issues as with the LG G2.

I was able to install CWM Recovery, and I used that to backup my existing ROM, and to Install CM-10.2, the build for the vs980.

After installing, and rebooting, I am getting stuck on an infinite boot screen. And I have no idea how to bot into recovery.

The default boot to recovery / factory reset screen is supposed to be, holding the power button until the LG Logo appears, then prelease, and hold again... This does not work, it just goes right back into trying to boot CM.

If I hold Power + Vol+, I enter some Firmware Update screen.

How would one enter CWM Recovery using only hardware? And how can I fix my infinite bootloop?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

**Edit**

I found out that I was going into this mode, and not recovery / factory reset... because I was still plugged in via USB... As soon as I unplugged, I was able to do this as expected.

Mod, please delete. I am unable, and I have solved my own problem.

There was a website that had a TON of UCCW themes, some pay for, most free.... but they were for the Galaxy S4.

Does anyone remember that site? Or know what I'm talking about? The site would give instructions on how to apply their theme using whatever products(UCCW, Apex Launcher, Beautiful Widgets, etc) were needed.... it was almost like a gallery of themes with instructions in the description... anyone have a clue?

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weaver11b:
Yeah it works. Just as Bluh5d says, read instructions, read instructions, read instructions, be on the camera update, take OTA update or sideload (yes it works), and then after the update finish the shell of SlapMyMoto. You just have to read everything, not be in a rush and do what the instructions say.

I wish i could understand why we cant get any development going with this phone. Yes i understand that his phone's stock ROM is pretty good as is, i just like the reason of android (choices). I have been flashing (the past 2 yrs) with the OG razr maxx, and it had a locked bootloader, but thanks to safestrap and a strong community we were able to flash all sorts of roms. I almost want to think we just lack the large community and developers who own this phone. Stupid Moto X and its inferior battery....haha anyway if anyone could explain it a little better for me, i am not so up to speed on c omputer lingo and what not. Thanks!!
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigv5150:
Just so you guys know I ran all the steps and when I had to install 4.4 I had messed up the zip file I downloaded. It was in a folder so it didn't take it aborted I then had to extract it from the folder and put it back on my sd card I restarted my phone 2-3 times during this process and it still worked. The way I see it is after you run the commands everything is in place until you take the ota and run adb shell. So if you run into any problems don't panic just make sure your shell commands are right. Oh an added note I thought the phone would reboot after the shell commands and it didn't. So I ran them like 3 times in different ways each line seperate then all together. I figured after the 3rd time I had to reboot the phone manually and it still worked. So this exploit is pretty forgiving if you mess up a little.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einsteindks:
Yep, discovered that myself. Strangely ironic it's us who had moded phones are running rooted, once again, on KitKat, and 'pure' phones are the ones being borked by the update!

---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 PM ----------

Biggest hindrance is the new file system of the Maxx. And have you seen the size of the stock ROM? Whole lotta extra crap on it, lots of 'flourish', to. We have safestrap, root, and WP off. Just a matter if time, but the update is extending that due to bricking stock phones.

Sorry if this is answered elsewhere. I've been searching around to no avail.

I'm on an SPH-L710 running TWRP 2.6.0.0 and I'm trying to flash CM10.2 d2spr. When I try to flash the ROM zip, it reports:

Installing '/sdcard/cm-10.2.0-d2spr.zip'...

Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.

assert failed: getprop("ro.bootloader" == L710

E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard

Error flashing zip '/sdcard/cm-10.2.0-d2spr.zip'

Most of the similar posts I've read have suggested that I need to update the bootloader install CM10.2 and that will allow me to flash. Great! But here's where my real question starts:

I may have accidentally installed the OTA 4.3 rom with Knox. I ended up reflashing right away after I realized what I'd done, and the rom I have now (4.3 stock w/ root) doesn't have any knox apps, nothing about knox in device manager, and root/superuser is working just fine (Knox was disabled via superuser).

That said, I'm a bit scared to update my firmware as I've heard stories about Knox causing a brick if it is installed while you attempt to manually update the bootloader. Is there a way I can be sure updating my bootloader wont brick me? How do I tell if I have Knox installed? Is it sufficient that I have no Knox apps in my OS right now? If there is a way to do this safely, can someone point me to the latest files I should be flashing here, in terms of firmware?

Just one question: as I understand you tried on 2 phones and you managed to S-OFF one but not the second, now the only thing that came to my mind is: did the 2 phones have the same version of hboot and radio, cause AFAIK from some older HTC devices I S-OFF'ed in my past for my friends/family (quite a lot, including all the older models of Desire) those 2 will have a big importance?

On my Galaxy Note 3 with 4.3 MJ7 - seems the stock alarm clock app only allows an alarm to run for 1 minute & then it silences itself automatically.

I have a "zen alarm" tone that runs for 10 minutes. It chimes once at the beginning, then again like 3 minutes in, again 5 minutes in, again 7 minutes in - and repeat chimes for the last minute or two. It's what works well for me to get up anytime, anywhere consistently. Love it.

On my iPhone - I had to jailbreak and edit a system file to remove the 30 second or whatever it was limitation.

I can't find anywhere to remove the 1 minute limitation on this device.

I really don't want to install a 3rd party app that I can't trust if the device hangs, crashes or reboots and I'm not certain if the alarm is going to be automatically set or not (I always keep Mon - Fri recurring on).

Hi,

This morning my S4 started to continually activate the screen for about 5 seconds then deactivate it for 1 second and repeat the cycle continuously. This happens even when I press the power button to shut down the screen or leaving the phone idle and when charging/not charging.

I have switched off all the smart screens, motions and gestures and I have done a hard\factory reset with no change!

Would you have any ideas what's gone wrong or is it likely to be a hardware issue.
