[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
So allowing it to download all the way and pressing the power button worked but the only thing I can find that has anything to do with OTA is the OTA cert zip in the security file and if you go back to the update it asks if you want to continue the update which I am not going to do.
[LG G Flex] iamtha1:
Finally got my flex guys... can't wait to have some fun wit u guys with this device.
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
BTW the update is only 3.35 mb

---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ----------

So then How is it going to "continue"

the update if the zip isn't on the phone?
[LG G Flex] D-FUSE:
Idk man i dont want to be the one messing you up and if it is only that 35mb i wouldn't take it
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
Ok so tried to download the update again and now I'm stuck in fast boot. What where the commands to get out so I don't have to google them?
[LG G Flex] D-FUSE:
Get the tot files in General thread
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
I can't get into the recovery to do a factory reset either. The fastboot says "fastboot: processing commands"

---------- Post added at 07:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------

And then adb push the tot?
[LG G Flex] autoprime:
the update wont have OTA in the title most likely.. perhaps "update" tho. or "D95010c"

so prior to you downloading the update it wanted to "download" ? but now it wants to "continue" ? if thats the case.. then maybe it's still on the device somewhere. update zips are usually in /cache tho :confused:

how are you browsing for the file? ES File Explorer or something? Perhaps try adb shell... and run ls in each folder until you come across some kinda update zip.. idk :eek:

shouldnt need to flash a tot if ur in fastboot.. just use fastboot commands to flash the stock boot and recovery partitions.

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

you could do the entire boot stack if you wanted to be extra sure... which would be aboot, sbl1, rpm, tz, dbi, laf.. along with boot/recovery.
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
No I was sudo surfing with the terminal emulator. Give me a minute to push this tot and I will try again.

---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

Ok I can't get into download mode because fastboot keeps starting as soon as it starts the reboot. Any suggestions?
[LG G Flex] D-FUSE:
Download mode is volume up then put in usb to pc. Did u do that???
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
Ok All I keep getting is this damn Hardware key control mode. This is ridiculous. I thought it was power off and then press the up and down keys until after the LG splash. But I have done power + up key, power + down, hold down all and they all take me to the damn harware key control mode. WTF is going on here?

---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 PM ----------

Yeah tried that and the fastboot comes up to quickly to do it in time.

---------- Post added at 07:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------

The smart ass fast boot gives a port change then gives an error then says oops!and then redirects the port to continue processing the commands but is still stuck.
[LG G Flex] autoprime:
why not just use fastboot to fix it.. using the commands i listed in post #304

tot isnt needed for this.

or if you insist on using the tot... unplug the usb cable.. hold the power button for 20-30 seconds until the phone is off 100%.. then press and hold volume up then plug in the usb cable.
[LG G Flex] reeher3287:
Sprint, here any rumor of an update and worry of a softbrick? Lol
[LG G Flex] D-FUSE:
Do what prime says dude
[LG G Flex] reeher3287:
Also anyone use android tweaker 2 or etc for dpi etc? Or what has people been using for a risk free dpi change?

I like 280 anyone know if that plays nice with LG apps? I heard lower didn't work well with LG apps
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
So it says "EP1/out FAIL nfo=40 pg0=f8d7600 usb_read() transaction failed fastboot: oops! reset portchange bla bla bla
[LG G Flex] reeher3287:
Crisp that dpi was ment for another window sorry for another forum lol
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
See that's what I'm talking about Prime! Thank you.
[LG G Flex] D-FUSE:
Are u good!
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
Ok It won't read the usb connection so where do I go from here?

---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------

Nope won't read the usb connection so no way to add fastboot commands.

---------- Post added at 07:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------

Oh and when you press the up button and plug in the usb it takes you to the freaking hardware key control mode! I have had this nightmare before but then I could wake up. :/
[LG G Flex] D-FUSE:
I wish you saw the post that i said don't do it. When my phone got stuck in fastboot mode. I brought it back to T Mobile and told them the software crashed and they gave me a new one. Idk man sorry. I feel real bad,but prime was saying use fastboot and fastboot flash the files he knows more about lg phones then I do.
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
Yeah but how do I input the commands if the phone won't use the USB connection?
[LG G Flex] autoprime:
what does windows device manager say when u plug the device in? does it detect anything?

any driver issues going on in there? if you dont have the drivers installed for fastboot then fastboot wont work. This is where linux/osx comes in handy.. no driver bs.

when everything is set up correctly with fastboot working you should be able to issue the: "fastboot devices" command and get a response similar to... ????????????? Fastboot

which means it's detected properly and ready for commands.

And I'm not sure how download mode doesnt work. are we 100% sure that the D950 method to get into download mode is volume up + usb plug in? sometimes different device models use different combos... so thats a possibility. it's also possible you maybe didnt power off the device 100% first before trying to get into download mode? you unplugged the usb cable.. then held the power button down until it shuts off and stays shut off? then you press ONLY the volume up button(dont touch power button) then while holding vol up.. plug in usb.
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
I have Ubuntu installed I have just been using windows because of all the exe's that go along with this stuff.

---------- Post added at 07:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------

I am usually a LAMP/MAMP guy for dev so if this is going to be easier on Ubuntu then I just need to boot it up.

---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 PM ----------

It says LSI 1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller in the device manager.

---------- Post added at 08:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 PM ----------

And yes I turned the device all the way off waited about 30 seconds and just pressed the up button and plugged the usb in but it still goes to fast boot.
[LG G Flex] autoprime:
ubuntu would be better to rule out driver issues.. but you'd still need to have fastboot properly set up.

and "LSI 1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller" goes away as soon as you unplug the phone? because that doesnt sound like the phone.. thats a firewire issue. There should be something else showing up when the phone is plugged in.
[LG G Flex] iamtha1:
Anyone on att Get root with bat file or is manual the only way
[LG G Flex] autoprime:
been confirmed by a few users... and a few users have said it doesnt work.

it's exactly the same steps as manual method.. only automated.. not sure how it wouldnt work.

as long as the phone is detected in adb devices... and you toggle usb mode when asked during the script it should work.
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
I did it with the manual it was nice and fast. Easier than using Windows.

---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 PM ----------

Yes and what else would I need besides the fastboot libs and terminal?
[LG G Flex] iamtha1:
Never mind got the bat file to work, now rooted!!! u r da man [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION]
[LG G Flex] autoprime:
no clue about whats needed for fastboot on linux.. I use osx.. and all we need is the fastboot binary.

shouldnt need much more in linux tho.. just the proper fastboot binary.. and it prob needs to be set with the right permissions. my point with mentioning linux is that drivers are not needed.. unlike windows. if you've setup fastboot properly on Linux then it should be good to go. If you have not set it up yet.. perhaps refer to a fastboot on linux guide.

Ok now it's say no file or directory on both of those commands. What the hell? I know they are there. and it doesn't know the aboot command.
[LG G Flex] autoprime:
is "fastboot devices" detecting the phone?

and aboot should be recognized.. it should know all the partitions on your phone.

when u tried the fastboot flash aboot aboot.img ... you were pointing to a proper aboot.img ?

if fastboot devices detects the phone in fastboot.. the rest should work.
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
fastboot devices comes back with a ?????????????????????.
[LG G Flex] autoprime:
then fastboot should work.

perhaps your paths to the .img files are bad or something.

I've been using kernel tweaker to monitor all my shiz, but until I put a custom kernel in I really don't goof with the stock because you never know what's going to make it blow up on you. Always safer to have a kernel that you know the limitations than to go goofing with the unknown and screwing your device up.

[LG G Flex] reeher3287:
Any word if Sprint is getting one? Haven't heard anything on my side
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
Have you tried looking at your phone? Mine just sat there before AT&T did their push. Try going to your Settings > About Phone >Software Update and see if you have an OTA waiting to patch all your hard work LOL. The AT&T update was only 3.35 mb and I think we have it out there somewhere on the thread if you wanted a look. I'm not sure what what is on the Sprint OTA or if they have one at all. But I would definitely have someone else download it first and use the code to block the OTA's that was posted earlier because the last thing you want is for them to add to the loki lock down. That would suuuuuuck. Anyway hope this helps.

[LG G Flex] Prod1702:
I was jsut given my G-Flex today by T-MO as a seed phone since I am a RSA. Rooting this way does not work. I have tried both the script and the manual root method both of which do not work. The file that is being pushed by adb in the 1st step of the manual method is pushing since i can see it on the phone, but after rebooting, unplugging the USB and plugging the USB back in. the screen is unlock and charge only is set. I do not get a #, I still see the $ under adb shell. Here is the info you were asking for.

No errors

IOroot20

D95910c

TMO

lge/z_tmo_us/zee:4.2.2/JDQ39B/D95910c.1388998242:user/release-keys

I am more then happy to test some things if you need me sicne i know the phone doesn't come out until tomorrow.
[LG G Flex] autoprime:
instead of rebooting then unplugging usb then replugging...

don't reboot... instead have phone's usb mode set to charge only(with usb debugging enabled of course).. then instead of unplugging.. set usb mode to MTP... then toggle it back to charge only. then see if u get # in adb shell.

if still no then its possible the key needing to be pushed to the phone is different on the D959 and will need to be updated. This is why ioroot is a constant project... altho its strange that all the other non-korean G Flex's are using the same key and D959 isn't :eek:
[LG G Flex] Prod1702:
still nothing. Just wondering but after pushing the file to the SD card then doing the MTP to charge only, and now doing adb shell. What is changing that is allowing adb shell when SU is not in system?
[LG G Flex] autoprime:
taking advantage of LG adb shell backdoor. guess I'll have to update the key for TMO G Flex.
[LG G Flex] D-FUSE:
That would be awesome dude. I'm grabbing my Friday

OP has been updated. "Official" changes below...

v22: added support for TMO D959 G Flex. Tweaked scripts EFS backup... hopefully no more errors.

*edit*

oh btw... I need a rooted AT&T(D950) and T-Mobile(D959) user to backup your aboot partition and send me the file(via PM or IRC) so that shelnutt2 can work his magic and add proper loki support and possibly FreeGee support. Commands to backup aboot are below:

adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot of=/sdcard/aboot.img

OR

Simply install FreeGee and run it.. since the model isn't currently supported in FreeGee it should automatically backup and upload your aboot directly to shelnutt2.

that's strange.. since other's have confirmed it working. Tho I wonder if there was a pre-release that uses a different "backdoor key" for # in ADB.

please provide the things I've asked for in the OP... so I know how the device is detected and what the fingerprint is etc.

hmmmm... and when using the manual method you tried both unplugging the phone and replugging(before attempting su in add shell) as well as trying to toggle usb modes from charge to mtp then back to charge?

Perhaps try rebooting the phone after pushing the file onto /sdcard and then trying:

adb shell

su

if all that's still a no go then either there's a difference between people's AT&T devices.. or somethings up with your setup somehow. Let me know how trying all of the above works out... if still a no go I'l try and get my hands on the stock firmware to see if I can poke around.
