This may sound silly but, do you know if I need to buy the 'On the go usb cable' like in his video? I dont think I do since he was running a 1.29.xxx (doesnt support touch screen) but I'll be running a 3.62.401.1 (he doesnt specify if I need one or not...) Just want to make sure before doing anything.

Thanks.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Move the .zip file to your fastboot/adb folder. boot your phone in recovery. then:

adb push name_of_file.zip /sdcard/

then in recovery select ''install'' and slect the zip you pushed

no need to use otg cable

[Sprint LG Optimus G] Penley94:
so yesterday i installed the new optimus de rom and it started up fine and everything was okay, then today i realized my 3g wasnt working and usually thats no big deal because all i have to do is restore my efs in the app FreeG (I think thats what its called, I might be wrong). Well right after i did that, i hit restart phone and it turned off then wouldnt come back on. Then i finally got to the LG symbol but it will turn off then the screen will be on but will just show black. I cant boot in to recovery nor can i do anything on it at all, when i plug it in the charger it says "battery.png is missing, battery: 75%". I took my phone in to sprint and they did a reset although that didnt do anything so there sending me a new one. Now my question is, is there any way I can open up my phones folder so i can get my pictures and everything that was on it? My pics were very important to me and i dont want to lose them, thats all i need so if some could help me get them that would be much appreciated, thanks.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
The key here is going to be getting back into recovery. Have you tried getting into Download Mode? If you saw the LG logo then you SHOULD be able to get into download mode. Make sure the phone is completely powered off. Connect the USB to your pc but before you connect the other end to your phone, hold volume up then connect it. You should see "Download Mode" on the screen. You will see other directions for download mode but for me this always works, usb to pc, hold volume up then plug the phone in while still holding the volume up. If you can get into Download Mode you can flash a teenybin to get back into recovery following the guide in this thread here.

Currently even if you can get into Download Mode adb might not recognize your phone(at least it never did for me). Once you flash a teenybin using LGNPST, you should be able to get into Recovery. Once in Recovery you can use adb to pull your files off of the phone and onto your computer. I use it from a linux terminal but there are guides available for Windows if that's what you use. The adb guide should be easy to find on xda(just search) so I haven't linked to it. Once adb is set up on your computer AND you can get into Recovery you can use the command 'adb pull /data/media' without quotations and it will copy the contents of your internal storage to your pc. However if you can get into recovery you do have other options for just getting the phone back up and running. This guide here should also help.

If you are familiar with irc(internet relay chat) you can hop onto freenode and enter the #lg-optimus-g channel. As soon as you enter the channel you will see "Need Help? You won't read this but..." followed by a link. All the files for LGNPST, teenybins, and in depth tutorials on fixing a soft brick will be found there. I hope this helps you and hooray for me because this is my 200th post! ;)

PS - If you can't get into Download Mode then your secondary bootloader is gone and there isn't anything you can do(to my knowledge). However, like I said, if you saw the LG logo at all, Download mode should still be an option. Also keep in mind these instructions are for the Sprint(ls970) lg optimis g. I believe the keys are flipped on AT&T/International models(Volume Down when you plug it in to get to Download Mode).
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Penley94:
Thank you for the response, i just tryed to get in to download mode and it went in to it fine. I would try to do all that to repair it but I dont want sprint to see that its rooted and it I cant have it be fixed when the new phone comes in, the only thing that i want is to get my files from it. Is there any way that I can just do that but leave the phone the way it is? (Not booting up passed the lg logo) I want the new phone because my current Optimus G's battery is going pretty bad I think and I would like a new one.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
There are plenty of ways to get it stuck at the lg logo, sometimes it happens just from dirty flashing a rom, sometimes because you install a rom without wiping dalvik/cache. But you should know if you are on Sprint, one of the reasons I stick with them(even though their coverage is horrible in my area) is because rooting DOES NOT void your warranty with Sprint. They will warn you against it but they are the only carrier that allows rooting and will still fix your phone. Here is some info on that here. They won't advertise it but it's the truth. But bricking your phone intentionally is pretty easy I think. After getting back your data, just go into recovery and start deleting stuff you normally wouldn't. It's similar to opening up your car's hood and saying "This looks important" and ripping it out, lol. At this point that's what I would do, fixing your rooted phone is within their warranty, replacing it(which is what you want) I'm not 100% on. Although the post I linked to, says even ordering a replacement on a rooted phone is covered. Its in a reply on that page, you'll see another link. So you could get your info, use a different LGNPST file to set your phone back to factory(which will relock the bootloader and lose root) and then you can do what you did to get there in the first place or root it and start deleting important files with a root explorer to get it back to being stuck. Hope this helps.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Penley94:
Oh wow I never knew that but that helps a lot thanks for the help, the sprint guy said theydid a master reset or hard reset or soemthing like that, does that mean it deleted all my pictures and everything? And i understand what you mean to rebrick it that's pretty simple. When i get my new optimus is there a new root out for the update? And what roms do you prefer?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Penley94:
Okay Im going to try some new roms out when I get my new phone, I would like to try out an AOSP Kitkat Rom but I couldnt get one to flash last time I tryed but I will figure that out later when I get it. Now back to my Bricked Optimus, I want to try the teenybin method although I dont understand the directions... the second step tells me to flash but how can I do that without recovery? and it doesnt say anything about entering in download mode which is the only thing I can do, am I forgetting something? And thank you for the help Tesla I really appreciate it, Ive had more assistance from you than anyone else.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Are you a windows user? The teenybin isn't flashed from recovery it is flashed from a tool called LGNPST which is a Windows program. I am going to private message you a link. It will have links for downloading and installing LGNPST on your PC. It says that you will lose all your data but if you are using the teenybin you shouldn't. It's LG's tool for flashing firmware and gives that warning regardless of what you flash. And you're welcome, coming from an EVO 4G this phone is very different and plenty of people have helped me - just paying it forward. ;)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Penley94:
Hey I got in to recovery through the Teenybin although the reset that they did deleted all of my stuff so Im kinda bummed:/ but its okay cause I got my new Optimus today and its brand new so Im happy with it. Thanks again for all of the help. Thats funny that you used to have an EVO 4G because I had it for so long and thats the phone I switched back to when my LG got bricked, but let me tell you Im glad to be back to the Optimus haha the EVO 4G is just way to slow anymore. Now that I have this new Optimus which root method should I go with? Its currently runnning ZVB (4.1.2) should I update the software? It says theres a software update available but I know that sometimes they dont have roots out for those updates so how should I start with this process again with the new phone in your opinion? I havnt done this in forever (going on a year) so I cant really remember everything that I had to do.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
Let your phone update before rooting and unlocking. You should end up with ZVC.

Then, you have a choice on rooting. [MENTION=5466237]HPTesla[/MENTION] will say Framaroot. ;) I'd say use fiddy Universal root.

Then DL FreeGee from the Playstore, use the"mako" version of TWRP/CWM, your choice, I'd do with TWRP and you'll be unlocked.

Back it up in recovery and you'll be good to go.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Penley94:
The fiddy universal looks easier to me so I will probably use that although its not very Important which ever one is better I will use, and what recovery do you think is better? I used TWRP before but is the other one any better? I will probably go with that anyways Im just trying to get some opinions in. And what ROM do you use? I think Im gonna start out with the stock rooted ROM but theres still some stuff I want from the DE ROM like the G2 keyboard and other features from the G2, is there any way I can get those? And have you had any experience with the KitKat ROMs? Those interest me too
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Exactly what he said, framaroot was quick and easy for me, but the lgog is so damn picky and fiddy seems to be the preferred method so use it just to be safe. I had zero issues with framaroot but I think I've just been lucky. And definitely update to zvc before doing either. I'd also update prl and profile for good measure.

That sucks that you lost all of your data, they must have actually did a hard reset where as BestBuy told me they did a hard reset and actually did a soft reset. But it's BestBuy so I never expect much. I softbricked my lgog the day after I got it using the GAIO tool(before finding out about FreeGee) and they fixed it with a soft reset. The guy called the manager over and the manager asked me if I tried unlocking the bootloader and I played dumb. My exact words were "What the hell is a bootloader?" and he immediately fixed it. But I was shocked anyone at BestBuy would even know that. Lmao.

As for my EVO, the micro usb port broke so I was charging it for two months like MacGyver, literally stipped the usb charging wire and hooked it straight into the positive/negative terminals in the battery while turned off! It was a fire hazard but it did the trick, lol. And luckily it had external sd(my one big gripe about the lgog) so I could still get my stuff off of it even without usb. I did love that phone, but you're right, it's incredibly slow now compared to the wonderful lgog.

And as always you are quite welcome!

---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 PM ----------

I think the reason I say framaroot is bc its also super easy, install the app, pick gandalf exploit and it will do it's thing - done without ever connecting to a pc. But [MENTION=1280108]engine95[/MENTION] is right, fiddy is more stable so use that. As for TWRP, I love 2.5.0.0 but for KK roms you have to use the one that comes with updated FreeGee, TWRP 2.6.3.x because of the SELinux changes Google made with 4.4. TWRP 2.6 was unstable originally but has since become just as stable as 2.5 according to most. OpTimuS DE was rock solid for me, as for getting some of the G2 apps, I'm not certain. It's doable but I don't know how difficult it would be because I've never tried to install them elsewhere. And I already gave you my choice of best current KK roms but today I found out a few guys are trying to get OMNI official for us. When that happens I think I will be switching to OMNI because they have been producing some impressive commits/tweaks that you won't find elsewhere. Just look through xda news to see what I mean, OMNI is on a roll!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
I prefer TWRP just because that has always been our best one since the beginning. Now that all the versions of the OG are coming together though both are fine.

I like stock, but Lrod's OpTimuS 5.0 is my daily. The G2 adds he made got me hooked.

If your gonna try to pull some stuff from DE, check with Lrod. He's made alot of changes to a lot of files making it difficult. For me at least. ;)

I've ran all the KK Roms and I liked them all. PSX is probably my favorite though. I liked Liquid in its early days, pre KK. I'm not sure it's up to KK yet.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Again, I think you're right on all fronts. Liquid was smooth(heh) but it hasn't been long since we received an official 4.3 so I don't think they're up to 4.4. And same goes for the G2 apps, sometimes it's as simple as pulling an apk out of a zip and pushing it to system/apps and changing permissions but I think Lrod did a lot of work to get the G2 apps working on our phone because they required certain dependencies/modified frameworks.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Penley94:
Okay so I rooted it through fiddys universal root but when I try to go on to FreeGee it just doesnt want to open for me? Ive tryed a lot of times and I get nothing it will either send me to the playstore to an app called busy box or will sometimes restart my phone, Im confised I have no clue what to do? I tryed to uninstall and reinstall and nothing I installed the busybox app but it said I didnt have root permission or there was a problem getting the root or something like that.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
You have to root before unlocking.

Make sure your phone has at least 70 percent charge or more!!

Go to Settings: Settings>Security>Unknown sources checked: Settings>Developer Options>USB Debugging checked, Settings> Display>Screen Timeout - at least 5 min

from fiddy thread.

Directions

1. Unzip the zip file

2. Make sure USB Debugging is on, and you are in Charge only Mode

3. Run the CurrentRoot.bat, wait for the prompt. (Can now be run as admin if you wish, Still works running as regular user tho. Thanks robisodd)

4. Change to MTP Mode

5. Just ignore when your computer asks how to view files on your device.

6. Press enter in the CMD prompt to continue.

7. Done.

You shouldn't have any issues.

If you do, then try Framaroot. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2130276 and follow those directions.

Follow this. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2050582 It has all the info on rooting and unlocking

Edit. You may have to root as admin/not admin, try both.

Edit #2 Also, do not use USB 3.0 ports. They are iffy for this stuff. LGNPST included
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Penley94:
Okay i will try this later when i have access to a computer, but the last root i tryed told me it was successful although it didnt restart my phone or anything it just said it was in the command prompt. I will try again cause i dont think it did anything. But i have a question about roms, i am most likely going to flash the DE 5.0 again because i like it with the g2 keyboard and i kind of like the lg feel to it but the only problem is google play music always gives me an error when im playing songs and it always has. I heard aosp roms dont have that problen so in your opinion what is the most stable aosp rom with all features working like gps and everything??
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
AOSP SuperNexus has been getting good reviews here in the forums but I haven't tried it yet. I would give that one a shot though. I'd flash GAPPS standard with it instead of GAPPS core as well. This is just generally speaking with any of the AOSP roms.

The directions [MENTION=1280108]engine95[/MENTION] gave you for fiddy are spot on(as usual ;) ), specifically having the phone in charge only mode instead of mtp. I think a lot of people have missed that step and it won't work in mtp. Using usb 2.0 is another good tip.

And if your phone didn't reboot, you probably arent rooted. Easiest way to check that you are rooted is by going into the app drawer and seeing either Superuser or SuperSu app. If it's there, you're rooted, if not, it didnt work. ;) If it said it worked but didnt reboot, Im assuming you rebooted manually? It sounds silly but sometimes it's as simple as that. But again, after rebooting if one of those apps arent there, you are not rooted.

EDIT: I've never tried rooting with fiddy without being in charge only mode, Im wondering if being in mtp may install supersu/superuser app but not the binary? Probably not but I could be wrong. Just wondering if there is any possible way that the app could be there but you still wouldn't have root privileges. For me, if the app is there, I'm rooted but I don't pretend to know everything(far from it, lol).

EDIT#2: Once you are rooted and recovery is installed, here is the link to SuperNexus.

EDIT#3: And I can't stress this one enough....after rooting and unlocking the bootloader, before flashing ANYTHING, make a full backup of your stock AND copy the TWRP folder(with your backup in it) to a computer, JUST IN CASE! That way you will always have a backup elsewhere, even if something goes wrong with your phone's internal storage. Better safe than sorry!!! And it's also best to copy the entire TWRP folder. ;)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
[MENTION=5466237]HPTesla[/MENTION] You're on a roll! ;)

Go with everything he's said.

I don't use Google music ,so I'm of little help there.

Almost every ROM has its quirks, and it's just a matter of finding the one that does what you need/want.

Our devs have given us a lot of options. And I know, I sure appreciate them. :)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] k5t4j5:
I ran OpTiMuS for a long time and every time I would try new roms, decide I didn't like or whatever and go back, I'd always have to 1. Dial ##72786# 2. Let it self activate sometimes twice, but usually just once before I would pick up 3g/4g. May have just been my phone but you may try that out if you go back to optimus De. Over all, my favorite stock like rom though.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RicardoCC:
I've read lot of posts about Flash ROMs for this phone, but none helped me enough.

Can someone explain how can i upgrade for andoid 4.4 kit kat? I know that there are a ROM for that and i can get it and the gapps for it, i don't know how i flash them. I read about Clockworkmod and Odin.

Can someone describe step by step how to flash ROMs to my device? My phone has andoid 4.1.3 and root done.

So I'm thinking about buying an unlocked moto x originally through Verizon but was used on t-mobile, my question is can anyone guarantee me that it'll work on att if I put my apn settings and will i get LTE ... any answer is appreciated
[Moto X Q&A] titanshadow:
Ok... So you're thinking about buying an unlocked phone that was originally a Verizon phone but was used on T-Mobile that you want to use on AT&T? That is a bit convoluted, each vendor uses different bits of spectrum and a Verizon phone isn't a pure GSM phone such as AT&T or T-Mobile might have, I would be cautious, why not just get an unlocked AT&T device?

That being said, if it can be used on a GSM network like T-Mobile it should work on AT&T, the problem being that - as I said - each carrier uses different bits of the spectrum.

Yeah, as the thread title suggests, updated to Avatar's latest release and lost root. Anyone else suffer this? Did you fix it? Tell me how! Phone's stuck with this rom for now and runs HOT when using any app or even just charging, big disappointment. Gotta figure how to get rid when not rooted.

Try to flash SuperSU from recovery.. u get superSU here
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoastPorkDinner:
Thanks for the reply, but it turns out that root was somehow 'broken', but not lost entirely, by the 4.4 update.

After sacrificing a goat (joke), I managed to boot into CWM and flash Arion, I had to wipe/factory reset for it to work though (a month of Clash of Clans gone!). Attempting to re-install 4.4 gave a status 7 error from CWM and i had to wipe/factory reset again and drop back to Arion.

Gone over to CM10.1 now, seems the safest option!
[Xperia Z1 General] nalab1:
Just downgraded from 4.3 to 4.2.2 and I have got rid of the bluetooth problems I was having.. I.e. Could not use my handsfree system in my car... Proving that Sony / Google completely screwed up the.bluetooth stack... Muppets.. Have either of them ever heard of regression testing?

It would appear not!!!!!!
[Xperia Z1 General] ssj_jaypee:
how hard is it to downgrade back to 4.2.2 from 4.3? I'm running stock no root.

I'm having bad problems with Bluetooth and memory leak issues.
[Xperia Z1 General] funky0308:
It's not hard.

But if go to 257 and then to 534 if you don't want to use 257 or want to root 257.

If you go 534 from 290 you'll lose IMEI
[Xperia Z1 General] xasbo:
Thanks for posting up about it. Until now, I hadn't heard of anyone actually trying the downgrade to confirm it fixes the problem. Would you be willing to contact Sony directly about it to make sure they know about it? We know two firmwares since 290 have been certified, but they haven't been released and we don't know the changes. It would suck for Sony to push new firmware and not fix this.

It's not hard - just get a copy of the FTF you want from the mega-thread and a copy of flashtool. There are tutorials on how to flash if you can't figure it out. However, since you're downgrading, you'll lose all your data (you must wipe data, or 257 won't boot).
[Xperia Z1 General] nalab1:
I just went from 290 to 257.. Just copied everything I wanted from my phone to my pc, did the flash then a factory reset and then copied everything back.. Bit of a chore as I had to restore all of my apps etc but worth it to get the handsfree working again.. Still can't believe that Sony and or Google have screwed the bluetooth up so much.. I hate apple but they seen to make it work across their devices and various versions of ios...
[Xperia Z1 General] shteren:
not only the bluetooth, the whole fw is acting out.. slowing down, ram is filling too fast and apps don't remain in memory...

also my wifi seems less stable, on .257 the bars "seemed" lower but i was connected at all times, now i have 3 bars, but connection drops all the time...
[Xperia Z1 General] funky0308:
Try different 290 fw - you can flash other regions as well.

My bluetooth us working great, wifi is better and all apps and features is working without any problems.

Try generic or something similar - that's not gereral problem.
