[LG G Pro 2] pcfree:
Does anyone know the exact bootloader chain for LG phones? There are several partition images in the firmware such as sbl1, dbi, aboot, rpm, boot, tz, persist, recovery, laf etc.

I guess the normal boot chain should be:

sbl1 -> [may or may not have others] -> aboot -> boot

And boot to recovery might be:

sbl1 -> [may or may not have others] -> aboot -> recovery

What is the intermediate stage? And the most important things that I want to know, what is the exact boot chain for download mode? While using LGFlashTool, some communication session display LAF tag. Does this imply laf.bin is the real core of download mode?

I have unlocked my boot loader which doesn't allow you to use recovery mode. Is there a way to completely wipe the phone and undo the bootloader thing? What program can you use. Also, how can you hide the bootloader unlocked start up screen? Thanks
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaultyFirmware:
I want to be sure you have all your ideas straight. How comfortable are you with working from the bootloader or from recovery? What tools do you use? Can you access recovery by this method?: Hold "Power" and "Volume Down" for ten seconds and release. This takes you to the bootloader. Then press "Volume Down" once to select the recovery, then press "Volume Up" to activate that option. This should then boot into the recovery. If that is not what happens, let us know what happens instead.

There should be no problem using any of the various recovery modes with an unlocked bootloader. Stock, TWRP, and CWM should all work fine. Can you describe what you did, what happened, and what you expected to happen?

There are several things here. You can wipe the phone and return it to factory defaults by using "fastboot -w". This does not change your bootloader or recovery. You can re-lock you bootloader, but it will always register that the bootloader was once unlocked. There is no real benefit to relocking the bootloader so I won't put instructions here, but let me know if that's what you want to do. Finally, you can flash a new recovery image onto your device, which will wipe out whatever recovery image you had on there. The command looks like "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".

This is simple as flashing a new logo. The command is "fastboot flash logo logo.bin". This will overwrite the stock logo (which checks if the phone is unlocked) with a modified one which looks the same whether it is unlocked or not.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banana4Life:
I mean fastboot recovery thing if that's what you didnt think.

I can get into the recovery screen fine. Selecting recovery puts me into a no command screen and then just boots up as normally. I was expecting to get another menu with factory reset and cache reset, and factory just boots up normally. Is factory reset from the fastboot screen just the same as the reset in the settings menu? Is it that you cant use those settings with a unlocked bootloader.

Are TWRP and CWN both apps you get for/through rooting in which you can restore back up etc? I have heard about CWN but havent really used it.

Would doing "fastboot -w" just do the same as reset from settings menu? Also I'm not sure what you mean by flash a new recovery image?

Also, I dont understand how to remove the boot loader unlocked screen. You have to start a command prompt and type in that with your phone in fastboot mode?

Is recovery

Sorry for being such stupid noob pleb :good:
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaultyFirmware:
I think I understand the problem. The first screen you come to says "Fastboot flash mode" or something like that and has a boot mode selection menu with "Recovery" as one option. This screen is the bootloader. When you are in the bootloader, you use the fastboot command on the computer to do things to the phone.

When you select and activate the "Recovery" option, you get a screen that says "No Command". This is actually the stock recovery. TWRP is TeamWin Recovery Project and CWM is Clockwork Mod. They're both roughly the same in terms to capabilities. Both have far more features than the stock recovery. You can use adb to communicate with your phone in recovery mode.

Here is a program that will help you install the recovery. USB debugging should be turned on on your phone, and you should be booted into the system. Also be sure that the proper USB drivers are installed on your computer.

Why you need relock bootloader ?

Use philz recovery based on last cwm. It's amazing.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaultyFirmware:
Here is a thread about removing the warning screen: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2548530

In summary, you can either download "logo.zip" and install it from recovery, or you can download "original_logo.zip", extract "logo.bin" and use "fastboot flash logo logo.bin" when you are booted into the bootloader. I am assuming you do not have a "Google Play Edition" or "GPE". If you do, there is a different logo for you in that thread.

The bootloader can be relocked, but it will not change the warning screen. Locking the bootloader will only make it so you cannot flash custom recoveries and such. Can you explain what you hope to achieve by relocking the phone? Again, it can be done, but I want to make sure it is really what you want.

You can't go wrong with either TWRP or PhilZ. PhilZ is based on CWM. It has added features and touch capabilities. Because a recovery is so easy to switch, if you make your best guess for which you will like more, and if you are not happy with it, you can switch. I like both, and most users will find all the features they need in either one.

Hey everyone my i9100 has been giving me a lot of issues over the past few months.

It all started in December when my phone shut down when on a call and would not reboot. The phone also would not charge. After using compressed air to blow out the charging port and the battery connection it still would not start. I then removed the memory card and it started. Since then every time I insert a memory card the phone will not boot.

Now fast forward to this morning and I realize that my stock android messaging app is refusing to open with the error code "process com.android.mss has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"

I tried to clear the cache of both contacts and messaging but this option is greyed out.

I am now trying to find an app that can do a comprehensive backup of my data before I reset the phone.

Can anyone give me some advice as to how to solve these issues on the i9100? Any idea what is the most ideal application to do a complete backup to a PC? Of note is the fact that I have a lot of data in my text messages and in the app note everything. Everything else I can take care of my simply copying and pasting the files to my computer.

I also cannot seem to find where recordings done with the app Voice Recorder found on the site tokasiki are stored on the phone.

The phone is rooted and running stock android 2.3.4 baseband i9100UHKG4

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Backup using Kies.. If u can run apps ur phone, backup everything using the app "super backup" and copy its folder alone into the pc.. It wil hav al the files..

Factory Reset ur phone later.

Upgrade the phone to Official to 4.1.2 JB using odin or upgrade any other Custom ROM and hopefully it wil work.. A friend o mine experienced a similar prob wit the memstick and the update helped. Maybe the ROM in it is corrupted somehow. Hope this helps u! :) Good luck

If I were to pair a Galaxy Gear with a M8, could I initiate a google search on my phone by pressing something on the watch? Basically I want to somewhat recreate the Moto x's ability to receive commands without the phone being on, and without an active tethering connection which will kill the battery on both devices.

Thanks so much!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] animatechnica:
my gear is setup to use google voice search/goggles/translate so i can voice command it, ask it to translate etc. caveat is i have to be BT tethered the whole time (battery life impact - i can get 18 hours on moderate use). I have the google now launcher installed and toggle between that and Nova depending on mood

works really good - when i take a photo with my gear, goggles automatically tries to identify it, i can tell my watch to launch apps and ask queries like you normally would with google voice

current limitation i have is i cannot use the hot phrase 'ok google' to initiate voice. i have to press the search i con to get started - still on the hunt on how to activate with 'ok google'
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ronfurro:
Humm, "ok google" should work if Google Now has been triggered and running. Usually, you can do a followup search with "ok google".

Keeping the microphone running would be a MAJOR battery killer. Dont believe me, try it on your phone and see how quick it drains. On the Gear, tethered, you would probably get about 4 or 5 hours.

Just not quite there yet with battery technology, but hey who knows, maybe Google's Android Wear has cracked this nut and figured out a better way to initiate speech recognition.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] animatechnica:
Agreed. On the phone there is typically a setting to set the hot phrase for google now, this setting does not show up in the gear :(
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hawkjm73:
I'm using offline recognition on my gear in conjunction with Tasker and AutoVoice. I have it launch background continuous recognition whenever the screen is on, then so it when the screen turns off. I also have two orientations that turn the screen of right away without waiting for the timeout. (the positions when I naturally rest my arm on a desk and when my hand hangs at my side.) So far, this hasn't had much effect on battery life.

I use a key word of "Galaxy" to let it know I want to forward a commend to my phone, which I do with M2D Manager. I've already got quite a set of voice controls on the phone, so no need to replicate them on the watch. Otherwise, it handles the command on the watch.

The net effect here, is I lift my arm in standard watch fashion, and say commands directly. It's functionality similar to having always on recognition.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hawkjm73:
Apologies for the delay in answering.

There are quite a few components working together here.

First and foremost: Null Rom. Without that, nothing else happens.

Second: offline voice recognition

This was pretty much taking all the language files from my phone and transplanting them to the watch, minding permissions.

Third: AutoVoice and Tasker

These are market apps and are fantastic for automation. You'll need them on both phone and watch. I'm using two profiles for this. The first turns on AutoVoice recognition in continuous mode whenever the screen turns on, and off when the screen goes off. The second profile is an AutoVoice recognize with "galaxy" as the command filter. It initiates an intent with the rest of what I say as a data payload.

Fourth: M2D manager

This is also available on the market, and needs to be on both devices. It is a Bluetooth bridge for Android intents. Tasker sends out an intent formed for M2D with the voice command as data. M2D transmitted it to the phone where it seems out a specified intent, still containing the command. Tasker listens for that intent. Once it had it, I use the AutoVoice test feature to send the command text in as if it had been spoken to the phone, so I can use all of my previously written voice control profiles. M2D also works the other way around, which I take advantage of for notifications and such.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
Thanks! I can follow most of what you said, however, when it comes to tasker, I'm a bit challenged. Right now I do have Tasker on both watch & phone along with Taskgear. With the help of some others, I have a couple profiles set on each (visa-versa) to show the battery levels respectively per other device on a widget on each.

If you could kindly share your tasker setups, I think I could pull this off! :fingers-crossed:
