Great work
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Brds7t7:
As far as I know, it isn't supported on the M8, it's been removed on KitKat. You can't mount SD in Philz recovery either. Maybe in future someone will release a kernel with it.

[One (M8) Original Android Development] DJ_Casper:
Ahhhh I see. Then I just should take my card and mount with a card reader then. Thnx!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Brds7t7:
Yes, or you can use USB OTG to transfer files if you have an OTG cable.

I use my micro sd the whole time with twrp 2.7.1.0 and it mounts without issues.

My backups get directly stored to my micro sd.

But I use only a 32GB sd card.

He means mount on pc UMS mode.

[One (M8) Original Android Development] Black-FR:
Ok, this won't work, but I also didn't understand it in this way.

As you also need to mount it in the mount section, to see the micro sd in twrp.

Why is the actual twrp app not offering the new version. It still wants to give me 2.7.0.2
[One (M8) Original Android Development] old.splatterhand:
I think, if you are refering to TWRP Manager, it is not made by the guys behind TWRP.

Or are you mean another app?

Please check out the image below. It doesn't matter what I do..delete, reformat these odd ball folders and files...sometimes over 500 of them, always come back! Believe me. Any help at all short of drop testing the phone would be greatly appreciated! Thanks heaps for the read.

What is the icon in the notification bar with the mu symbol? The mu seems to be part of the equation.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] premiatul:
Yeah, couq76 is right, the first icon on the top left is the culprit. Find that app and delete it.

BTW, how come you have 3 gps signal icons?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] nodyarg:
looks like utorrent for android, not sure why it would be generating all those files. and those 3 icons are malwarebytes icons. i didnt know malwarebytes has an android version im going to go download it now!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] el0heem:
if it is uTorrent, they're probably temp files that haven't been downloaded yet. If you watch how torrents download on a PC you'll see there are usually temp files that have to be "filled in" with the file data

if there are no active torrents then those files are probably just leftovers from abandoned downloads.

My Note 2 Has Space Herpes

Right on all counts guys. And pretty fair eye balling as far away as you are. Yes my first thought was that uTorrent Beta was dropping some bugs, so naturally I uninstalled it and cleaned up what I could find within the system. Then I deleted the weird (looked like uTorrent folders and files. Cleaned up again but the suckers came back like bad pennies but this time they seemed to grow logarithmically. The seemed to be attracted to a folder that I had named "Programs" as I was going to stash uninstalled programs inside (go figure) as that was the first folder to be come affected again. So I got out the RAID, bombed them again; all 458 of them now; then formatted using the note 2 stock program and wonder of wonders they came back again. IOkay I'm thinking I'll fix all you guys. I pulled the external SD Card, slipped it into the (make it the right size thingy) to fit in the media slot of my laptops and long formatted the 32GB there. Guess what, no luck the bast@@rds were back the next day. My last thought is to boot up with Hiren's Boot DVD and do a 010101010101 back to brand new were it a real hard drive "destructive low level format but with my luck so far, I'll either ruin the SD Card or the damn bugs will return. I'm flat out of ideas, What do you guys all think? he said "still befuddled"!

BTW, I am as well clueless as to why Malware Bytes shows up three times in notification but it did catch a bug first time out. Or maybe it just wanted to look good..who knows at this point (laffin) I just uninstalled and reinstalled it now only one icon show up. So, I am Waaay open for suggestions. Thanks for your time and thoughts guys. Much appreciated.

PS. Just as a sidebar: It always upset me when I'd install one of these Android type programs. The nearly brag about stealing your undoes and shoes. Now I ask ya, why would something like AndroZip need to access my phone? Irked me a bit so I got to searching and by god there are APKs that are supposed to be able to turn x-ray vision off. Hoping this is not a waste of your time....The one I like best so far is App Ops, the next in the "try it out line" is Advanced Permissions Manager. Both rate well and have the right look and so far have not crippled a program. Amazing. Looking forward with baited breath for your sage like observations and advice....and that of any other or you smart guys. Thanks again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] StrikeBackv2:
Im no dev, but in your recovery menu try wipe cache, data, and factory reset. if that dont work try a fresh install of your rom with out the sdcard. if it seems to work try using the sd card again. At least that will give you a clue to where the files are coming from

My Note 2 Has Space Herpes

Hi,

Great minds do think alike. I did as you suggested a week or so back excepts I did it harder. Although I left the Extended Memory Card in, I accidentally wiped the whole phone and formatted everything using TWRP. Still the buggers returned! However

Since formatting again killing them all 2 days ago using using the android 4.3 internal app formatting app the backwards u's have yet to come back! I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for coming by to see me.

:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] StrikeBackv2:
Your very welcome, that is why we are all here :). definitely keep us all posted. Who knows maybe the next guy will catch this new disease you speak of and come across this and it may either help him, or he can help us figure out the source. Meanwhile I suggest that you get some condoms for your phone ;P

humble suggestion, probably move this thread to development?
[LG G Pro 2] stupc:
Nice work! :) But speaking as a non-technical guy, do you think there'll be an easier, less scary, way of rooting the D838 soon?

I've rooted and flashed all my previous phones but these instructions sound very complicated indeed... :eek:
[LG G Pro 2] ando1.tw:
Appreciate your amazing work,

You're the miracle creator!!

我也要說…這才是愛台灣啦+1 ～^^
[LG G Pro 2] jc042982:
It's true.

The procedure is too complicate for beginner to root the D838.

But be honestly, this is one small step for a man, a giant leap for D838 device owners.

I believe author will try to reform the procedure into a simple way.

It just takes time to improve it.

Again, thanks for your great work on D838.
[LG G Pro 2] sub69:
So close, but the LGFlashTool doesn't want to recognise my D838, even after trying every driver I could find... So I'm stuck at unlucky step 13!
[LG G Pro 2] thelestat:
Do you get the message "Failed previousLoad()"? This seems to be caused by an invalid tot file.

OP any chance you can just up the tot files?
[LG G Pro 2] sub69:
I did, but I think as an LG n00b it's a PEBKAC error. I'll keep reading and let you know when it works...
[LG G Pro 2] sanven:
Wrong check sum
[LG G Pro 2] jc042982:
According to above tutorial.

Someone had reply that the checksum is inccorect.

The correct checksum is 30252AC8 for d838body.bin

and E5ED3232 for f350body.bin

That's another tutorial by Taiwan developer named "z30152" had simplified the procedure which much easier for most user.

You can refer to http://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=581&t=3864486&p=1
[LG G Pro 2] sub69:
Yeah, not sure what I'm doing wrong - I'm sure I've input the CRC correctly, but it's just not playing ball. Will have a look at the other tutorial later...

Thinking about it, it's possibly failing because I'm using a 16Gb HKG phone with the .kdz of the HKG firmware, but I expected the process to be the same, even if the CRC's are different...
[LG G Pro 2] jc042982:
Follow the instruction here!

I think you can extract the HKG version firmware and follow the instruction to merge with F350K.

This should be work properly for HKG version 16GB.
[LG G Pro 2] sub69:
Ohhhhh,

reverse the hex-pairs!

I'm an idiot, I always forget to do that. Thanks, it looks far more promising now.
[LG G Pro 2] dodzs:
May I know how do I start to do this with 32GB International version? Currently the firmware is D83810a-SEA-XX
[LG G Pro 2] sub69:
Yep, that did it.

So for anyone else trying this, follow the instructions in the OP precisely, and you should be fine, with the caveat that in Point 10 YOU HAVE TO REVERSE THE CRC32 HEX PAIRS when adding them to 0x08 in "myboothdr.bin"

My CRC32 value was "e46a6dcb" so I had to add "CB 6D 6A E4" into myboothdr.bin

Great work pcfree, and many thanks to jc042982 for pointing this LG n00b in the right direction.
[LG G Pro 2] hkfriends:
thanks

would you please explain inside the header file:

44 DD 55 AA

how to make these values?
[LG G Pro 2] sub69:
Don't touch those, just open your myboothdr.bin file in a Hex Editor (I used HxD) and change the four pairs shown below (my CRC32 value for this file came up as b00db074 in "HashMyFiles", so I had to enter "74 B0 0D B0"):
[LG G Pro 2] jc042982:
Which KDZ you extract from? 16GB? or 32GB?

What country?

I am having a 16GB D838 International Edition (Taiwan)

and the procedure is workable for all D838.

This only thing you need to do is extract the correct file from your origin firmware.

It depends by what country version you purchase, such as Taiwan, HK, or Singapore...etc.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS STEP 6.Extract D838 firmware to get PrimaryGPT.bin (partition table), boot.bin (kernel) and the DLL file if KDZ.

*PLEASE your own firmware and extract it!

Other procedures are all the same with the post.

Be careful with the 16GB and 32GB PrimaryGPT_0.bin!!!
[LG G Pro 2] hkfriends:
yep... i double check all related TOT files with header starting "44 DD 55 AA"

so I believe it is TOT header signature only

the only thing need to cater is what you said, PrimaryGPT.bin (partition table), boot.bin (kernel)

I am thinking it can ported to oher models...
[LG G Pro 2] jc042982:
After successful root your device.

You can revise the platform.xml by following the instruction post by http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2537793

I am success revise the platform and this allow you to read-write your external SD card.

The next step is revise the NAV Key, make it smaller^^
[LG G Pro 2] pcfree:
Add some extra notes on post#1. If you own different region or ROM size from mine (D838 16GB TW), please read.
[LG G Pro 2] hkfriends:
Thanks so much....

I extract F350K (32GB) TOT, and examine the PrimaryGPT.bin

It is so perfect that it is matched with your TW 16GB offset
[LG G Pro 2] pcfree:
What's your D838 region/version? The F350K partition table is not important. Only file size of F350K boot.bin need to be examined. If you own a HK 32GB D838, you have to check the PrimaryGPT.bin from HK 32GB firmware.

I know the F350L 32GB has similiar partition strurcture with TW 16GB D838 till system partition. However, some partitions are different not only due to 16GB / 32GB differences. TW 16GB has one more partition than F350L (I forget the partition name).
[LG G Pro 2] javahuan:
Im confirm it work on D838 - HK version (by using Hong Kong 10a tot)! Thank you very much!!!
[LG G Pro 2] hkfriends:
haha...

actually I am doing a backup kernel for F350K

as the new version v10h is not allow to root by adbd, so If I can make a working kernel TOT in v10e (v10e is the only working version)

by theory, if later OTA remove my root, then I can using this mehod too... also I can proof your idea can make in any model :)

it is a good method to make a kernel TOT :D
[LG G Pro 2] pcfree:
If you want to make it work for F350K, remember to modify the header file offset 0x6014. This is the model name that will be checked while flash by LGFlashTool.
[LG G Pro 2] hkfriends:
thanks so much... got it

This is the offset in TOT for model checking :)
[LG G Pro 2] pcfree:
For your reference, offset 0x2010 starting tot component entries with each 16 bytes. Offset 0x6024 is original tot filename which is useless and will not be checked by LGFlashTool and download mode fw. Offset 0x6230 is tot component entry partition name with each 32 bytes.

When trying to root D838, I was firstly flash F350K recovery and hoped this recovery would help the device to enter recovery with menu. However, it behaved the same as TW stock recovery w/o menu, except with Korean message instead of original English one. This custom TOT method is not only for kernel or recovery. You can flash several partitions at one run (I have tried). Be careful that handmade complex TOT header is dangerous. If you calculate or enter something wrong, you may brick your device. Better to write program to run complex works.
[LG G Pro 2] buenarc:
I think you can extract the HKG version firmware and follow the instruction to merge with F350K. It's worth the try.

[LG G Pro 2] dodzs:
hi.. after you flash the f350k4d838.tot you just need to download ioroot and root it manually using the adb command by following the guidelines i mentioned in previous post...

there is no need to enter recovery mode as u i use the ioroot manual first method, not the "4.4.2 mode" i.e. below command

[SIZE="1"]
***********************
backup EFS partition
*******************
0: adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modemst1 of=/sdcard/modemst1.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modemst2 of=/sdcard/modemst2.img

***********************
You can copy those files first to your desktop before proceeding
*******************

***********************************
Set USB mode to Charging only(this may vary based on model).
Confirm device is detected in ADB using "adb devices" command.
Be sure to accept the RSA prompt on your phone.. and check the "always" box as well.
Run script and follow the onscreen instructions.
If the script is stick at "waiting for device".. turn your phone screen on and unlock it.. make sure ADB has the proper permission and that the ADB RSA prompt isn't sitting on the YES/NO screen. Check the "always remember" box when you accept it!!!
Make sure the phone is unlocked with the screen on whenever possible as well, i.e. turn off the lock screen and screen timeout set to “never”
*********************************************

1: adb devices
(make sure it sees your device; if "offline" turn on phone/unlock and accept RSA key prompt)
2: Choose next line based on model and firmware version:
F350K/L/S (4.4.2): adb push ytiruces_1a_kk /sdcard/ytiruces_1a

********************************************************
This next depends on your computer/phone model...
USB Connection Mode needs to be toggled.
Ways to do this are listed below...
a. Unplug usb cable from phone then re-plug.
b. Toggle USB mode from Charge to MTP back to Charge
c. Toggle USB mode from Ethernet to MTP back to Ethernet (VZW users)
********************************************************

3: adb shell
(you should now see a # instead of a $. # = root)
4: exit
5: adb shell "mount -o remount,rw /system"
6: adb push su /system/xbin/su
7: adb push su /system/xbin/daemonsu
8: adb push install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
9: adb shell "chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su;chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su"
10: adb shell "chown 0.0 /system/xbin/daemonsu;chmod 06755 /system/xbin/daemonsu"
11: adb shell "chown 0.2000 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh;chmod 755 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh"
12: adb shell "sync;mount -o remount,ro /system"
13: adb install Superuser.apk
[/SIZE]

oh ya during this process, ensure your usb debugging mode is turned on in developer mode setting.. when you succesfully root it, you will be able to see superSU in your drawer, you could also check by using root checker app from playstore.. it is also advisable to install busybox

after all that finish, you could flash the d838kernel.tot using the lgFlashTool.. then your done

actually now after rooting done, next one that im looking for is how to install TWRP to replace the stock recovery, there is another thread that is discussing this already

[LG G Pro 2] dodzs:
For Step 5 rooting, you have to use manual way, run the adb command one by one, not using the "root.bat" script as it requires recovery mode which is not supported for D838 as far as I know.

I posted the script in my previous post before this, please refer to it.

I did specifically mentioned NOT to use the auto one (i.e. the "4.4.2 mode") though.

And functioning all until what happened the other day. My phone is not been rooted and it is on 4.2.2 kitkat.

Please try to help me solve my problem. I will appreciate any help thanks and kindly explain details because

Im not technically savy.
