So one person saying you can root no problem, another one saying you might be able to root, might not? This is why there should be a very clear sticky at the top of the forums for everyone to read about just 4.3 and all there is to know about it. Because maybe's are pretty terrible when it comes to flashing/unlocking/rooting/bricking your device.

I don't care about warranty, I'm getting the S5 shortly, I just want to be able to root after the update, is that possible with lets just say the Auto root program, or is it not possible? By possible, I mean I won't have to go out and trade 7 cows for a horse and plow a 600 acre field with said horse. :P

EDIT: I think I've fingered it out, Thanks for the help fellas.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
There is no question about it. You can root even after 4.3 OTA. I've done it half a dozen times. Audit is right that you will trip the warranty but since this isn't an issue ...

The usual methods of rooting including CF Auto-Root don't always work and the method I've used with success each time is Option 2 in the thread below. The knox removal script disables knox ...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linker3000:
Hi folks,

For the last couple of weeks, my Note has been getting warm and the battery lasting about 3/4 day instead of the usual day and a half. This doesn't happen every day, but it's now done it about 4 times.

I have discovered that /usr/bin/gpsd has a tendency to grab 50% of the CPU and the clock speed is pegged at 1400MHz - not all the time though - but when it's gone rogue I can't kill it.

The only major change recently was to install the app permissions framework and Xposed Framework, but I removed these about 2 weeks ago - anyone know if this might be relevant? A virus scan with lookout and avast finds nothing (although I'm not sure whether they actually check all system files) so does anyone have any ideas - is that file a known infection vector or does another known problem (like a corrupt log etc.) cause gpsd to go haywire?

I'm running 4.1.2 JZ054K (rooted) with speedmod kernel K5-5.

Thanks

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] iceyhotguy:
HTC apps are strictly closed source so porting them gets them reported and original apks usually install but dont work properly.

Try DO Launcher - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2629069

It has DO feed which is supposed to be very similar to BlinkFeed

DO launcher was reported by HTC just because it looked too much like HTC, so it has been a little redesigned and works much better now.

You can also look at Flipboard, it is very similar to blinkfeed and has list of wide variety of feeds that can be added with ease.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] latrotoxin1986:
Alright guys, getting a little frustrated here. I'm trying to go from Carbon to OptimusDE ZVC, When I flash OptimusDE, everything boots up fine but there isn't data to start with. I go into settings to update PRL and as soon as it starts to update, the phone reboots. Try to connect to WiFi, the phone reboots. Also, Exchange Services crash immediately after boot up.

What I've tried - Re-flashing, wiping caches and then also doing a factory reset, flashing ZVC radio.

Nothing seems to be getting this working. Anyone know what I need to do to get things working here? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
Try flashing the new Stocktimus ROM and see if the same thing happens. If it does, you may just have to re-root.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] latrotoxin1986:
I'm not sure how root would pertain to this issue. I'll give Stocktimus a try, but I tried engine's other stock ROM's a month or so back and had the exact same issue.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] AFschizoid:
Weird. Did you try actually activating?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] latrotoxin1986:
The phone is activated, but trying to run the activation in settings causes reboot. Receives phone calls no problem. Just downloaded Stocktimus O and same thing. No data, crash on PRL update or Profile update, crash on WiFi activation. I really don't understand what's going on...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] AFschizoid:
Yeah I've not had that issue and I've flashed back and forth from stock based to aosp and vice versa. Might be your efs got screwed up. Try lgnpst or LG flash tool (I prefer the latter because it takes it to an 'out of the box' state, activation required ) and try activating again
[Sprint LG Optimus G] mesacarvin:
That has happened to me before going from an AOSP rom to one of the available stock roms. Don't remember which one.

But I remember flashing the TWRP recovery. I was on Philz Touch Clockworkmod.

And then performed all the required wipes and reset then flashed Stockimus-D and viola, no FC's. no reboots. No more problems.

If problems persist used TeenyBins via LGNPST
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
A couple other things to try also:

Make sure you're wiping /system also.

Sometimes CM/AOSP Roms can mess up your SD. You may need to wipe it also. Just make sure you back it up first. That's happened to me a few times.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] latrotoxin1986:
Lol, so funny story. I did LGNPST and got back to full stock. I had to use an oldddd ZVC .bin file, not a teenybin. Re-rooted, unlocked, put CWM 6.0.4.6 back on the phone and created a stock backup. I didn't mention before but I had long deleted my stock backups, so I didn't have a stock ROM on my phone at all to flash back to. Anyways, back on full stock, everything is working great, go into CWM, create a backup and flash Stocktimus O. It says it installed successfully, so I reboot...just the normal Sprint boot screen, everything is total stock. I'm wondering if perhaps, like a previous poster brought up, it's a CWM issue. I'll switch over to TWRP and give it a shot, report back later. I prefer CWM because I don't have any issues flashing AOSP ROM's whereas TWRP, on all versions I've tried, will fail with some ROM's while others work fine.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
So LGNPST got everything working. But when you installed Stocktimus O you got stuck on the Sprint boot screen?

Did you give it about 4min to make sure it booted up?

It should work with both TWRP and CWM. I installed with both when I built them.

I know you've flashed before, but just in case, wipe /system, /data, /dalvic, and /cache.

If you don't want to do this next part, I'll see if it's something on my end:

If it doesn't install with TWRP, could you wipe your SD and try it again? I know it'd be a pain, but at least it would let me know if I need to fix the updater scripts.

Make sure your phone boots up. Then in recovery wipe "internal data" or SD and reboot. Your phone should still boot as long as you don't wipe /system.

If for some reason it won't boot, you may need to ADB sideload a rom, or LGNPST again.

Just trying to cover everything. :D
[Sprint LG Optimus G] latrotoxin1986:
It didn't get stuck, it just booted as though I hadn't flashed Stocktimus O even though it said it had successfully installed. Kinda weird...but it's definitely not on your end. I've done something, at some point, that has borked my ability to flash stock. I've thought about totally wiping SD....just LGNPST after that. I dunno. :)

TWRP didn't give me any different results. Same deal, just booted with the original Sprint screen, not your boot animation, nothing had changed...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
It's gotta be on the SD. :confused: I don't know how, or where, no file explorer shows anything weird, but CM/AOSP ROM'S have got to be putting something on it for it not to flash. I've had issues more than once when I've had to wipe my SD to fix it.

We gotta got you going so you can get us some more Carbon, LS970 style. :D
[Sprint LG Optimus G] latrotoxin1986:
I'm TRYING to build it right now. Getting some really unusual errors. The last time I got one of them, I just restarted the build and it finished fine. This time though I'm getting Java Runtime Environment crashes though and something else...not sure what's up with that. Keep chipping away at it though ;)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] shaneg79:
I had the reboot issue when it connected to data too when flashing back and forth from cm/aosp ROMs to stock. What resolves the issue for me is to use TWRP and go to advanced wrote and wipe everything EXCEPT internal. I used to have that issue all the time when using cwm recovery but philz recovery also seems to be ok when flashing back and forth hope this helps! :)
[Sprint LG G2] autoprime:
The Sprint ZVC 4.4.2 .TOT is now available on the Codefire servers. TOT is used along with a .dll in LG Flash to install the stock firmware. Running this WILL erase your data including whatever is on the internal SD card.

I had to pay for this.. so donations are welcomed :highfive:

TOT (ZVC zip.. unzip it FOOL!) and .DLL can be found HERE.

Guide to use this can be found HERE. Yes, it's for Verizon but it can be loosely followed.. just replace the verizon stuff with the Sprint files.

Noob question: If I use this TOT to upgrade my ZV7 to ZVC, can I downgrade it back to ZV7 using ZV7 TOT? Asking since I use the permanent unlock and if it does not work on ZVC, I will have to downgrade it.
[Sprint LG G2] riggsandroid:
I have not done it, but I believe others have confirmed you can still downgrade.
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Permanent GSM unlock will be erased if you use flash tool.

I took the OTA without root with stock recovery without GSM unlock.

Managed to root using ioroot25, flashed CDMA on NV got data for CDMA, then tried the unlock for GSM. Did not work. Now after messing around I managed to unlock GSM with data. Also found that it's either GSM or CDMA. Both for now will not work together like before.

Unrelated to the update by phone decided to brick itself while doing a backup.

Anyone have any ideas on how I can get this going?
[Sprint LG G2] yournamehere:
Is there a version that won't wipe all data from the phone? i made a backup but forgot to drop box it so now i need to save that if possible and then restore the firmware

Change the port number for the device in the Microsoft device manager...I can't remember if it is port 41 or port 43. Give both a try!

It is port 41, but I can not change it as Windows doesn't recognize that a device has been plugged in at all.
[Sprint LG G2] nickeedoo:
New to TOT and LG in general, would I be able to use this to come from ZV8? I assume that TOT's completely redo everything so it doesn't matter (to a degree) what's on it before (except in the case of downgrading). Thanks!

Wonder if this happened to anyone else. First I installed the LGFlashTool 1.8, then set my clock to 4/1/2012 and opened LGFlashTool. It says something about LG FLASH TOOL ERROR LG USB/PARELLEL. went ahead anyway and selected the .dll and .tot files and changed all the ports per instructions. Long story short, the files flashed but showed failed at 94% but phone had booted to accessibility settings and was talking to me in the weird robotic voice. I went ahead and disconnected and set up phone then rooted with ioroot25. all seems to ok but I wonder if the fail is going to be a problem somewhere down the line. I have not noticed any problems. Any suggestions?
[Sprint LG G2] Lrod0175:

I used this method and it went through just fine. However I can not send/receive texts or calls. I have gone through updating my PRL/Profile as well as doing hands free activation and nothing seems to help.

If you need me to post any pertinent information please let me know. Thanks.
[Sprint LG G2] sclarktay4:
Once you completed the flash of the tot file and the phone rebooted to start set up, did the hands free activation complete successfully
[Sprint LG G2] Dunkin401:
Yes it did, I have also seated and reseated the sim card. After updating prl/profile I sometimes get invalid card on the lock screen and a sim icon with a red (!) in the status bar. Everything looks kosher. I just don't get it. Is there anything I could information I could post to help?

I just noticed on the lockscreen it now says "service disabled" next to the sim...

Do you have the sprint g2? I ask because i had to disassemble my g2 to get to the sim card.

LTE is a GSM technology. Therefore all LTE devices, even “Sprint and Verizon” have sim cards. It's just the older devices had them built in and weren't user swappable like the current phones are coming now.

Recovery on kitkat ? Is there a link on how to?
[Sprint LG G2] joshuajones:
You can root with IO Root, then use Flashify to flash TWRP. Before booting into TWRP, downgrade your aboot.img to zv8 (download here) with this command via Terminal Emulator or ADB shell:

dd if=/sdcard/Download/ZV8_aboot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot​

*if you use terminal type "su" and enter before the command

**this assumes you have the zv8_aboot.img in your download folder.

Then you can boot to TWRP and flash this file which allows ZVC to boot with the downgraded aboot. Reboot and you'll be all set :cool:. This thread is where I got everything.

Bonus: [MENTION=4316709]Savoca[/MENTION]'s Furnace Kernel 2.0.0 works with LS980 KK (download link). I highly recommend it!
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
When I flash the .tot it says wrong model, download failed even though it shows ls980 everywhere in LG Flashtool and on phone, anyone got any ideas?

FYI I have flashed .tot files before but this is a first...:eek:

Nevermind I used the alternate dll named 8974, this time it worked.
[Sprint LG G2] evilboygenius:
This post is what I was looking for. Please help me with my queries. What is the zip for (after downgrading to zv8 aboot)? Is TWRP 2.7 supported? If not, which one is most recommended? Will I able to fix Download Mode by flashing ZVC Radio (If theres a need)?

Also gotta try Furnace kernel. I heard it gives better battery life than stock. BTW whats the difference between normal and OC version? And how do I flash it? As usual via TWRP?
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
OK, the zip is a kernel to work with the aboot, and zvc. Without it you won't boot.

Flashing 2.6.3.3 or .4, first. Then you can flash to TWRP 2.7.

Zvc radio is if something happens like mine. Where for some reason I get as I can say screen sleep death. Everything will be fine until the screen is shut off. Then when you turn it back on you get static screen.

Then you want to get into TWRP and flash the zvc radio to get download to tot back.

You can flash via TWRP, the furnace kernel. Some have good luck some don't.

Over clock is just that, speeds the processor above factory speed.
[Sprint LG G2] lonz358:
You made that screen problem go away by flashing another kernel or a tot?
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
I ended up flagging the zvc radio in TWRP to get tot. Only been rooted so far. Will work on it some more tomorrow.
[Sprint LG G2] evilboygenius:
Thanks for clearing my queries. :)

BTW is the OC version of FK one which has OCing unlocked or defautly overclocked? I prefer to OC/undervolt slowly after a lot of trials to my optimum level.
[Sprint LG G2] danfoxley:

[Sprint LG G2] mtcellph:
Is it normal for the Carrier name to change from Sprint to LG after flashing this TOT. I also noticed that the Sprint Spark Animation is replaced by the LG animation when booting the phone. Furthermore, Sprint Zone appears to be missing or corrupted using this TOT. In my case sprint zone was renamed to "MobileZone" which has a generic android icon instead of the normal sprint zone icon and when I try to click on it I recieve an error message that says "Content Update Error" Anyone else having these issues ?

TIA,

Edit: After activation, it booted with the Sprint Spark logo. Mobile ID is now Sprint Zone.

So just continue activating the phone.
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
Its normal, happens to me too. I believe the Sprint installer service downloads the Sprint junk over the ROM after you get data/WIFI connection.
