[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I assume you were running the latest version of cwm before you switched to twrp so it can't be the recovery.

Are you doing a full wipe of the system, cache, data, and Dalvik before installing the ROM?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Corvetrims77:
Yea every time I wiped data, cache, dalvik , I even reformatted once. I have managed to boot up into tasl650AOKP which is a d2lte build but no other ROMs. I mean at this point it looks like I should just wait a bit to see if it is something with the ROMs interacting with my phone(as per all phones are made different)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Are you wiping the system before installing? Have you tried wiping system, dalvik, data, cache, install the rom, wipe and re-install the same ROM a second time without trying to boot the ROM in between the 1st and 2nd ROM install?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Corvetrims77:
Yeah I gave it a shot still no dice. I keep seeing other people having similar issues, so I am still leaning it has to do with the differences in d2lte builds vs dtatt builds
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
d2att ROMs are okay? Just not any d2lte?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Corvetrims77:
As I stated before I am able to boot int Task650AOKP(Which is a d2lte build), any of the others that I have tried have not worked. There are some updates out today, I am going to attempt again and post back results.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
As a test, I flashed my i747m back to stock 4.1.2 via Odin. I then installed the latest version of Philz Touch for the d2lte and installed the d2lte version of Validus. Validus booted without any problems.

Edit: just tried the lastest nightly Pac-Rom and Resurrection ROM. Both ROMs had no problem booting to the desktop.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Corvetrims77:
Thanks for the help, I actually was just able to boot into C-Rom by following the same steps except I am using TWRP. No idea really what caused the Roms to get stuck on boot. Quite annoying.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I had TWRP on my phone but I was having problems installing ROMs when I first got the phone in January.As soon as I switched to CWM or Philz, no problems at all except for ROMs based on a stock 4.3 ROM.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Dat-Guy:
Hi Guys,

I'm totally new to this forum and a have no idea if i'm doing everything right. And since I didn't find any general solution for the following problem, I decided to start a new thread. And because of all you genius guys here I hope you could help me.

The Oppo Find 7a apparently has a restricted app partition which is limited to only 3gb. Is there a way to change the size of that partition significantly?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] MrColdbird:
Bind mount or partition resizing.

I will write tutorials for both options once my 7a preorder gets delivered.

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Dat-Guy:
Great!

That would be perfect.

Thanks
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] BossAfair:
Thank you for providing us a tutorial !

Will your tutorial be relatively easy to understand for a "normal phone rooter and ROM flasher"?

Unfortunately my decision of preordering depends on how easy i can get space for apps
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] MadMungo:
I will be awaiting the guide so I can expand my app storage.

I tried to use the guide and toots from the Oppo Find 5 but chickened out when it threw a crc error for the gpt partition.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] MrColdbird:
Thanks to the find 7 supporting fast boot you can't really break it with partitioning.

The worst thing to happen to you is you lose your data and need to reflash.

I've done it on three phones before the find 7 already and it shouldn't be that much of an issue.

Sadly, I have to wait for my preorder to ship first before I can test and write the tutorial.

I will try to find the easiest way to get the message across though and test it on my device thoroughly before publishing.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldengutz13:
Hi!

Has anyone installed the update OTA on a rooted g pad?

Is it safe to do it or it's not possible?

How can I install the update if I am rooted and keep my root?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muiriddin:
I have seen people reporting problems in other threads here on XDA. Here in the US they haven't yet released the OTA update. If this is anything like my experience with my phone (a GS3). OTA update of a factory rom when rooted often does seem to cause problems. The only device I haven't had problems with taking an OTA when rooted were a Nexus device (Nexus 7) and something running CyanogenMod.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldengutz13:
so I have to unroot it first, install update then root again?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dekxster:
I have a related question - how to unroot and install OTA??

I tried to install, but it didn´t work, tablet said there´s no OTA for rooted devices.

I unrooted using SuperSU, but the situation is still the same.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muiriddin:
I used the LG Support Tool method which involves putting the tablet into download mode and doing the update recovery procedure in the LG Support Tool. This (after a long download process) should result in a tablet which is identical to what came in the box. (in the US the procedure currently installs 4.2.2). When it finished the download and install, it reboots the tablet, if you then are stuck in a boot loop, simply do the key combination for a factory reset and it then should boot.

The unroot procedure via SuperSU does seem to leave something behind that the OTA still detects...

If you need further details I have another post in one of these threads detailing exactly what I did...

---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

That is what I plan on doing once the US version is released, however it is potentially a little more complicated since I have heard that LG has patched the LOKI vulnerability which means no custom roms or custom recovery until a new boot loader vulnerability is found, or until you revert to the original boot loader instead of the new one in the 4.4.2 release (if possible)...
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Subtleone:
Nah. You can bet that within 48 hours after the US version is released, there will be a flashable build available with root and recovery.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muiriddin:
True, more than likely a flash-able version will exist once someone makes it.

My suggestion is to flash with lg tool and then root again.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crashDebug:
I think the issue with this procedure is the recovery / bootloader, not the rooting itself. Still, you will most likely end with an unbootable OS. You are better off flashing via recovery a perfectly stock, pre-rooted image, like this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2707363

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erwaso:
So you did NOT unroot first?

Steps you did were: (with rooted only g pad)

Update via pc lg tool

Root using IOROOT25.zip method

This correct?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trunkam:
I had to click on "recover" Something sorry I have no my PC now.. I left it at work. But I think you'll find.

U got some option and considering lgpad did not boot after update.. I had only one.

It's the procedure that you got to follow after you set gpad in download mode.

No issue at all, just one thing: after rooting you will have to flash a custom recovery if you need, because flashing with lg, flash even lg stock recovery.

No I did not unroot.. But only because I did not think about it. And that's the reason why gpad was not able to boot to system and I had to flash it via lg software.

I set gpad in download mode,,then flash via lg software, root with ioroot and finally flashed with flashify custom recovery

Hope to have helped guys:)

in the imate's ftp i downloaded JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021_ship.zip, is this the latest rom available? is it better to use another rom like dopod?

thanks!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] cidriver:
As you mentioned, you saw the last i-mate ROM in the FTP.

Many people said (PDAMobiz and also here) that the Dopod ROM is the more stable and better than others. I tryed both and now I'm testing the Spanish i-mate ROM. I can not tell you wich one is better, at least for me, find much better the i-mate one, but I'm sure you can find a lot of tester and they are going to give you another opinion.

Try it and choose the better one for you, then, share you opinions!

@ DocHoliday77 How do you turn off that? Whether we can send a picture or explain the steps on how to find it? Hello! :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
If you installed the Official 4.3 Release and then right now its not Rooted. Is this correct ?

Secondly, If I understand it correct, Right now, the phone will not connect to any Wireless networks. Especially those it was able to connect before the update ? Kindly confirm.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] PopovicB:
It is true that the phone is no longer rooted because when installing official Android version of the phone is no longer rooted. Phone before the update could go on any Wi-Fi network. After the update can not be either one,or more precisely, the Wi-Fi does not start.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Just for Kicks, can you flash the Insecure Kernel via custom Recovery such as CWM or TWRP ?

See the state of Wireless after reboot.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] PopovicB:
What I need to do?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Step 1 - You flash a Custom Recovery such as CWM or TWRP via Respective Apps Rom Manager or Goo Manager.

Step 2 - Download the insecure kernel I linked in my last post to your phone's SD Card. Reboot to the Recovery and flash that kernel Zip file.

Hey all,

Ive been flashing things since early HTC Hero days and never had this issue before. I flashed a new kernel (Uber nightly if that matters) the other day and the IMEI is now 0, no network signal, cannot connect to services, random reboots, etc. Tried completely clean flash stock rom using guide at beginning of general thread running bat file (by windows), still nothing. The file seems to be corrupt until I can reenter the numbers so device recognizes and can get network. Went completely back to stock yet still have unlocked bootloader. Tried looking over the internet for some solutions, only found Octoplus IMEI repair but do not know if I need the box or not in order for it to work. Any alternatives or if anyone knows if the software works without having to buy the box. Want to avoid sending back to Google or LG. Links and suggestions are appreciated.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevelationOmega:
Sadly, no. The imei number file is specific to the phone and to get it "injected" was considered illegal since people who steal the phone could, by theory, inject the new imei to sell a phone as new. There is things out there (sort of) on this yet nothing good can be done. I use TWRP now since the back up allows EFS folder as well, versus CWM that didn't. I haven't had the problem since on nexus 6 or lg g3. The only way I know how to "solve" it was warranty through Google for nexus 5, they sent a new one to me and took the bad one. Only they (the manufacturers LG and Google) can legally inject the phone back to working condition. In all, had to get new one because no real true fix out there (legally) since even recovering it may be an attempt at stealing, the manufacturers cannot distinguish one person from another. Wish I had better news. Hope that helps and you can get it resolved.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConorStanley:
Uhhh, I think all of you are incorrect. You may want to check your facts or your phones. If you have the manufacturer's firmware, in my case it is a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G, you can use the manufacturer's (or other) method to flash the firmware and the IMEI numbers will be reinstalled. I was required to login to their site, but that's why you should register electronics with the manufacturer when you purchase them. It might not even need a registered product. And, after I was able to recover the lost IMEI numbers, I noticed that I can freely change them if I desire. Soooo, maybe I'm breaking the law? I suppose that would all depend on my location because this phone is mine, I bought it, rooted it, put a custom ROM on it, then did the dumb a$$ move of arbitrarily deleting files that "just didn't look right". One of those was a key component. Keep in mind, possession is 9/10th of the law. I possess this phone so no matter what, they can only charge me with 10% of a crime.
