Latest CM 11.0 no longer contains loki_patch

The files in mediafire link that you provided didn't work for me, but I used the "loki.sh" and "loki_tools" files from a recent nightly build (cm-11-20141209-NIGHTLY-d800.zip) and it worked fine. loki_patch no longer is provided with cm-11, so I removed it from the cm-10.2 zip and my flash worked without it.

Thanks so much for posting this and helping everyone out with this problem.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noob2014:
I have this shinny new powerful phone and I have no idea what to do with it. I've never got too deep into cell phones. But I want to get the most out of this phone. I pay a lot to be able to use it and I want to get the most enjoyment out of it. I've had it a while now and I haven't really done much to it.

I want to get rid of programs that is just taking up space. I want to get the best apps, learn about the phone. Customize it in cool ways.

Should I root it? Am I too much of a noob and or have too good of a phone to even need to worry about it?

Will you guys hold my hand and walk me through this phone or link me to some "lg g2 starter guide" threads to really have fun with this phone?

Thanks

honestly the phone is fast enough by itself with amazing battery, but if you like to get into flashing things first off

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2449670 this will teach you how to install TWRP. after that just download a rom of your choosing, more than likely the developer already root the rom for you so you dont need to do it. enjoy from there. make sure you know how to enter TWRP the hard button way... for tmobile is hold down and power button, once LG logo flash quickly let go and press the two button again. thats tmobile though.

I'm a bit of noob to the whole custom ROMS thing as well. I was just wondering what is a good program to make a back up before rooting and installing new ROMS?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cggorman:
TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) and CWM (Clockwork Mod) both have backup utilities baked in. The stock full system backup will be quite large. Aside from being a best practice, it's too large to archive on the device, in my opinion. I would recommend offloading it to your PC and learn how to put it back using ADB (Android Debug Bridge) and the TWRP sideload feature in the event of a soft brick condition. Recommend you also backup and save your EFS/IMEI.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexfrancis:
Hi. As someone who has very little understanding about this stuff, I'm struggling to get any use out of that guide. Is anyone else finding this?

For example:

"Ok, so if you look in the download page for your device and you are getting a zip file, this is a flashable zip, but it cannot be treated the same as an IMG file in this guide. You need to flash an older one that is a .img file, and then use that to flash the newer zip."

I have no idea how to do what it says in that last sentence, or what it even means.

Then where it starts describing option one, I don't understand what it's telling me to do. What does it mean to "push" the loki patch and the img? Where am I supposed to type that stuff in the code box?

I figured I'd just get my g2 rooted and back it up, then start reading about the stuff I didn't understand. But just getting started seems really complicated, and I'm struggling find the info I need to understand that guide. Is there a more detailed, baby step guide for idiots out there? Or can someone just quickly explain the things I mentioned about that guide?

Thanks for replies.

Just thought I would share the link on the review Toms Hardware does on the Nexus 5.

[Nexus 5 General] tebore:
It's a decent review until they get to the reviews.

Then they pretend like they know what they're talking about.

They know that the Note 3 'cheats'. But they fail to mention that other OEMs have closed source optimizations, other devices besides the Note 3 also 'cheat'.

Then they get too much into scores treating the phone like a new video card that's released. Good PC Reviewers (Which Tom's is also not but it's adorable that they try) don't always make for good phone reviewers.
[Nexus 5 General] nerv8765:
Yea, they definitely focus mostly on benchmarks. Which is kinda lame. No one bases their decision to buy a phone on benchmarks.
[Nexus 5 General] bozzykid:
People that read Tom's Hardware do. They know their audience well. That is why they focus on ridiculous benchmark numbers in all their reviews.
[Nexus 5 General] nerv8765:
Well, I do take performance in general into consideration, but benchmarks are *so* unreliable that it's hard to base a decision off of them alone.

However, after reading the full review, I do think it was a good review. The Nexus 5 is a game changer and they realize that.

That depends. If u are S-ON, there is no way u can install a different RUU. If u are S-OFF, it is possible. Keep in mind that u might not have local warranty, depeding on HTC's policies in Germany.

Not too sure abt changing LTE bands though. I think its possible. Not 100%

[Miscellaneous Android Development] chiragjn:
Hi everyone , this is my first how-to guide

i will try to keep it as clear as possible

NOTE : I will not be held responsible if you change your wifi mac address for illegal purposes.

A backup of your NVRAM is recommended.

Method 1(via Engineering mode)

This method does NOT require ROOT access.

1.Download MTK Engineering Mode shortcut app from here :https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.themonsterit.EngineerStarter

2.Turn Off your Wifi .Open MTK Engineering Mode shortcut app and Click MTK Settings.

(Incase you are not able to access Engineering mode, skip to alternate method below)

3.Swipe To Connectivity Tab.

4.Click Wifi

5.Click NVRAM

6.In Byte String Access put values as

addr(h,byte) : 4

length(byte) : 6

7.Click Read. The 12 Digits shown in value(h) field is your current wifi mac address.Better make a note of it.

8.Erase the value(h) field and now put your own 12 digit mac address,

IMPORTANT:

RULES FOR WIFI MAC ADDRESS

1.Should be 12 Digits long only

2.Should have hexadecimal characters only (0-F)

3.Second digit of mac address should be Even Digit only (0 or 2 or 4 or 6 or 8 or A or C or E)

valid example - 0205160F0A3E

invalid example - 016GEABCDF59

9.Click write.

10.Exit to Home, Turn Off and turn On your Wifi Again.

11.Now Check your Wifi mac address in Phone Status.It should be Changed to what you entered in Step 8.

12.To get back your original Mac address, repeat the process with original Mac address value.

Alternate Method

THIS METHOD REQUIRES ROOT ACCESS

1.Get any good File Browser with Root access (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree)

2.Get this Hex Editor : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tuba.tools

3.Turnoff your wifi.With the File Browser, browse to /data/nvram/APCFG/APRDEB/

4.Copy the file called WIFI to sdcard twice(one for backup purpose and other to edit)

5.Also note the permissions on the WIFI file (for me it was rw-rw----)

6.Rename this file to WIFI.bak

7.Open the copied WIFI file on sdcard with Hex Editor.

8.Notice your Wifi mac Address from address 04 to 09.Change the values of addresses 04,05,06,07,08,09 each with corresponding 2 digits of your new mac address

IMPORTANT:

RULES FOR WIFI MAC ADDRESS

1.Should be 12 Digits long only

2.Should have hexadecimal characters only (0-F)

3.Second digit of mac address should be Even Digit only (0 or 2 or 4 or 6 or 8 or A or C or E)

valid example - 0205160F0A3E

invalid example - 016GEABCDF59

9.Save it.

10.Now copy this modified WIFI file to /data/nvram/APCFG/APRDEB/

11.Set the permissions you noticed in step 5 to this just copied WIFI file( rw-rw---- in my case)

12.Turn on Your Wifi And check your mac address,it should be changed.

Lenovo S920, MT6589 device, data folder is empty. Nevertheless there's a lot of stuff in the folder /dev, but no /APCFG/APRDEB/ route at all either.

The first "non-root" method didn't worked for me either. It changes the MAC but when I am trying to connect to the router with this "new" MAC, which by the way it worked in my Galaxy Note with Cyanogenmod 10.2 installed, the phone can't get internet, although it connects to the router.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Ichijoe:
Now I know that all these "Droids" are not created equal... But, I suspect that your unable to find the /APCFG/APRDEB/ in the /dev Folder... Is 'cause its under the /data Folder....

/data/nvram"/APCFG/APRDEB" -> WIFI & WIFI_CONFIG...

BTW:

2.Turn Off your Wifi .Open MTK Engineering Mode shortcut app and Click MTK Settings

.

(Incase you are not able to access Engineering mode, skip to alternate method below)

3.Swipe To Connectivity Tab.

4.Click Wifi

5.Click NVRAM

6.In Byte String Access put values as

addr(h,byte) : 4

BTW: You messed up... At least so with whatever version of MTK Engineering Mode is currenty on Google play...

length(h,byte) : 6

lenght(byte) : 4

That'll net you the first Four Digits plus the last Eight of your MAC Address... Such as it is.

Though I'll doubt that this too would survive a wipe. Before heading back off to 00:08:22:xx:xx:xx-random-land again...

I wish you could enlighten me a bit because just last few months I've been able to change my mac address with the use of Chamelemac but now I can't. And i don't know why, maybe application update but it seems like chamelemac is just stuck with version 1.0 . Maybe you know something that could help me. By the way I'd rather use chamelemac other than those posted on the thread because it's easy to use just one click and i could change my mac address instantly. Hope for your response.
