THIS THREAD IS for LG L5-II DUAL E455 ONLY

Please dont post anything else...

DOWNLOAD MODE:

Press VOL+ AND VOL- and power up the device

RECOVERY MODE

Press VOL+ AND QUICK-ACCESS and power up the device

FACTORY RESET

Press VOL- AND QUICK-ACCESS and power up the device

ROOT

Install http://www.mgyun.com/vroot (v1.7.3 tested as of this post)

The VROOT software also installs "working" LG drivers for the device.

Just follow instructions on the software... Installs a chinese version of SU, which seems

to have a english translation. This is not Chainfire's SuperSU.

- Installing ChainFire's SuperSU

Main Thread

SuperSU on Google Play (free)

Install the App from the market, or sideload the .apk

- When it installs it will use SU perms from the chinese app to install, and also prompt for removal of old root apps

- as soon as it is installed, make sure you go to settings and install it as a system app.

- reboot the phone

In my view this mobile is a perfect one.

regarding software when it rooted it supported framework, busybox etc.. and worked like a chrm never a hang.....

but as for my knowledge for some reason lg took preventive steps not to touch the boot loader or pre loader of this device.......

As coming to the recovery and stock rom facility, practically there is no need for that.....

All the functions of a stock rom was enabled by rooting this device using vroot software........

after rooting this, convert the super su to english by following the below thread

I don't think LG took any special steps... its just that this phone is not so common/popular with developers

E455 story

Let's put all solutions for E455 here.

So far I managed to root it, using the chinese tool. There are 2 variants of that tool, Chinese (mgyun.com/vroot) and with English UI (mgyun.com/en/getvroot).

If you don't like the chinese dialog box, everytime it asks for root permissions, you can install later SuperSU (by Chainfire) or Superuser (by ClockworkMod). By my opinion both are good and work.

Also in our phones we have a problem which is common for the new "age" of androids. When we install an application, the "big" chunk of data are installed in the internal memory (2GB) instead of the external (SD). In long terms that means that android will notify us that we don't have free space for applications, because the internal memory run out of space. In real, the SD card is used only for photos/videos/etc.

The only solution for that is a future hotfix patch from LG (which i believe it will take a LOT of time) or in the best case, the KitKat update (when it will be available and if..)

Other solutions can be by modifying some core files inside android. It can be done but with a slight chance of bricking your phone. There are also programs who manage to transfer the files from internal to external.

ALL THESE methods require that you have the files already placed at internal memory and then you transfer them to external. What happens if you can't because you don't have free space at the internal? :confused:

I believe E455 is a very good model, which worths the money we spend, for the job it has to do. Dual SIM, nice battery, nice screen but without the support of developers because it's not mainstream model.

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghatothkach:
Oh how I wish it was a main stream model. I would actually love "any" 2+sim model which could get AOSP/AOKP and kernel customizations

and is as small and handy as this one here... I would not even mind spending as much as a Galaxy-S5 to get a 2+sim model here in the US, but unfortunately in the US, not only we want one wife we also want one carrier, for the phone so its not going to happen any soon.

I still have the phone not got time to hack it.

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tharorris:
Yep

I would love it too but as history show us, never was a dual sim mobile phone "mainstream" before.

This one is small, has nice battery life, does not lag.... yet we stuck on this.

I know for sure that L7 II took KitKat official, when ours will get it? And i have a strong reason that even the simple sim will get KitKat, and we will still wait...

I will keep it rooted and wait.

LG E455 IMEI Problem

Hi,

I dont know if this is the correct place for that cuestion, but i see its a dedicated thread to lg 455, so i try to get some help.

I got that phone a few moths ago and after some 3g issues discovered a problem with the frecuencies of the baseband; solved that problem flashing a stock rom following this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2702213. All gone ok but a few day ago both sims come into negative band and i discover IMEIS changed. I try to rewrite imeis from back label under batteries by all the ways i know, but none works. The AT command method via engineer menu or Putty console responds OK but doesnt change anything; same thing with MTKTools.

The las chance, i think, its by meta mode imei an sn change tools, like Maui META or SN_STATION, but i cant enter the phone in meta mode or cant find the correct drivers; every times programs fail attemping to connect to phone...

Please if some know some clues make me know!!!!

big-time screwup..

OK I had a rooted device...

now in the process of creating busybox links I overwite the suid-su binary with a link to busybox which is not suid ! :(

No matter what I try I cannot get to remove the su link... any hints... The problem is the device usually mounts /system/ in ro mode and you need su/root to remount in rw mode...

The Superuser app always now complains of needing to install su binary and does not do anything in Normalmode and there is no TWRM/CWM on my phone...

any one know any tricks...

Huh....

Read loads of post about this subject but still unsure, hope someone can help.

I have a bluetooth car-kit Nokia CK-7W and a XDA MINI S. (ROM 1.5.4.2)

I can get audio to come out of the car kit (Media player, TOMTOM etc) by switching BTAudio toggle. This works fine, but mono low quality, like an AM radio.

I need A2DP to be able to get stereo output.

Is this car kit A2DP compatible?

Is there a ROM upgrade available for the XDA mini S yet which gives A2DP functionality?

Thanks in advance.

You have to unlock the bootloader first from here if you have a Moto G https://motorola-global-portal.cust...e/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a/action/auth.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rashidul3:
Yea in order to install a ROM you have unlock the bootloader, and no installing a custom ROM won't unlock it you have to use the site above to unlock it. If you have a phone locked to any tariff like T-Mobile you won't be able to unlock it even if you unlock the Sim due to the addictions in the software and you will get a message "device not available" or something like this. So you can use guides available on the internet to solve this.

Dear all,

sorry for my noobishness, but today I've learned that a Cyanogenmod 11 was available with KitKat so I decided to give it a try. I ended up here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2583895

Now, since my Clockwork Mode was 5.0.2.6, I had to upgrade it to 6.0.4.6 as suggested in the same link and so I ended up here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48806481

and downloaded it via the link in the second post.

Long story short, when I updated it to 6.0.4.6, I get a blue screen when entering recovery-mode, otherwise it works perfectly.

Furthermore, I tried to unbrick it according to this thread here but Odin does not recognize the device: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2207919

Also,I tried with Kies and even Kies does not recognise the device but when I 'turn on usb storage', my pc identifies it as GT-S5830.

Anyway, any ideas on how to deal with this?

Thanks a lot for your patience and Regards

eventhough you got bluescreen, your system is normal. no need to unbrick it.

you are able to push cwm 5 recovery via odin.

*btw, i got bluescreen too.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -BRK-:
you can flash cwm5 from cwm manager in phone, assuming your phone boots fine. Then try installing a cm10 rom first and then install the new cwm6 recovery. For me it worked that way.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N0L3R:
Hello guys and thanks for the reply.

Yes I managed to get back to normal via Odin. At first it was unsuccessful because the USB port I was plugging the mobile in was not recognised by Odin but I changed the port and was instantly good to go.

Will see when there is another version of the clockwork mod.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkened_Sky:
if you mean the multiwindow that you know from samsung, then it is only available in roms based on samsung.

omnirom, which is not samsung based, also has a splitscreen view, by longpressing an app in recent apps (but also with apps like bubble launcher).

but omniroms splitscreen view is still a bit buggy.

omniroms thread can be found in general section.

an alternative could be, until it is stable, to use a rom which supports halo (it creates a floating window on top of your currently used app)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GideonX:
This is an unofficial build of Omni Rom based on KitKit 4.4.2. There is no official support for the d2 variants. Props to androidsftw for picking apart what was needed for our d2s.

I am not the dev of this rom, all I did was add in necessary device/vendor/d2 files for d2. This is not a port, everything has been built from source.

As with all things root, I am not responsible for anything that happens while flashing this rom. You take responsibility for your actions. Nandroid is your friend.

----------------------------------

Downloads:

Omni Rom for the D2LTE - Droidhype Roms

GAPPS 4.4.2 - PA 0-Day

SuperSU - Chainfire

Kernel (optional) - BMS

----------------------------------

Installing for the first time? Grab the newest full zip from the D2LTE directory. For future updates, just go to Settings -> System Updates and let the magic happen.

HOW TO INSTALL

1. Factory Data reset

2. Wipe System/Data/Dalvik/Cache

3. Install ROM zip from Sdcard

4. Install GAPPS zip from Sdcard

5. Install SuperSU from Sdcard

6. Reboot to home screen to confirm good flash

7. (Optional) Reboot to recovery and flash kernel

TO USE DELTAS, YOU HAVE TO USE TWRP OR PHILZ RECOVERY. CWM WILL NOT WORK BECAUSE IT DISABLES SCRIPTING CAPABILITIES BY DEFAULT. If there's anything that you want the updater to flash automatically after it flashes your update, put the file(s) in the FlashAfterUpdate directory inside your Opendelta folder in your internal storage.

Join the BMS G+ community which will have quicker release info in the future for all things BMS and roms.

Enjoy!

Cherry-picks:

- Multi-window

This build is unofficial, so I don't exactly carry around a changelog. However, you can always check cmxlog for omni and see what's been changed with each version of one of their nightlies. It won't be exact as some have specific device merges, but it will give you a good idea. The dates on my builds will correspond with the officials listed on cmxlog.

You can also check their gerrit or git to see what's been merged.

This question gets posted pretty frequently so if some users could please bookmark this post, we can just repost it when needed. Here are all the links you can peruse for your changelog/update enjoyment.

You have to let the rom /kernel settle in for a few days, then you should see better battery life. If you are on the stock kernel, try one of the custom kernels listed here on xda.
