Cmon you're an active member of the community, if you didn't know better God help us all. I started to say yep, go ahead and do it lol.... Did you have an Optimus G? Seems like I remember you from somewhere prior to the GFlex.

[LG G Flex] bpark32:
Same here. Can't wait to get back to a Samsung...

Anyways, anybody else lose tap awake after cwm recovery installation?

Also could somebody point me to a ROM thread for D950 variant?

Thanks!
[LG G Flex] cocous:
Try this.

Go to dialer and enter 3845#*955#

If you have another model try to change the last three numbers with your model. 3845#*xxx#

after go hw device test/and press the touch test and after touch firmware upgrade.

After go out and retry if the double tap working.

Be careful don't press nothing else inside there.

I bet you its stated in the OP at least once, the app itself prompts you if you are on 4.4.2, it states doesnt work as intended on kitkat on the Play Store. So no one can say they dont know nor didnt know, or wasnt warned etc etc etc etc. If one didnt know... they didnt phuqing READ!!! ;)

But its not the app or recoveries that doesnt work. The kitkat kernel needs work to work with the jb aboot we are using to by the locked bootloader (has been stated 1400x ;)).

I know i'm an idiot but i still need help

Can anyone help I rooted my lg g flex sprint variant and like an idiot it took the 4.4 update which isn't compatible with twrp anyway it rebooted but wouldn't boot into os only twrp and download mode but DM doesn't connect and I can only push in ADB they do go to the phone but Roms don't seem to flash my question is what should I push to the phone? A ROM? The stock recovery? Or the DLL and tot some how PLEASE HELP:p:good:
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
you need to flash the stock kk aboot and recovery to fix your current state. If someone can dump those from a ls995 I can make a flashable zip for you.

To flash the tot dl mode needs to work and you would need to flash the jb laf back to fix that, or the kk aboot one. They have to match. ;)
[LG G Flex] Mildromeda:
thanks man

Yea the DL mode is weird I get the screen with the HD dots going to the phone blue but when I connect to my PC it doesn't recognize it I know the drivers are installed correctly because of ADB
[LG G Flex] Mildromeda:
What's the job laf again sorry noon problems
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
laf is the download mode partition ;)
[LG G Flex] Mildromeda:
Where would I find that lol sorry but I can't find much as far as kit Kat
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
the kk laf someone would have to pull. But you would need kk aboot to go with it and recovery to fix your current kk install. ;)

I followed your instructions and all seemed to go well. I tried forcing it to reboot into recovery and bootloader via adb but all it did is reboot the phone. I tried rebooting from the phone into recovery and it flashed a picture of Andy and then booted back up into the phone. Tried to download the update while still rooted and it counts down to reboot and then sits there and does nothing. Any suggestions? View attachment 2840528

[LG G Flex] 99problemz:
Previous posts a guy wanted stock recovery instead of twrp. You stated to grab stock recovery from the link.. was wondering if that same stock recovery works for the d950. Sorry should've been more clear in my question.
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
I doubt it these variants have had so many little individual differences that I bet the stock recovery may have some type of signature or different implementation method. I'm not the expert on recoveries but I do believe I've seen several different stock recoveries posted which leads me to believe there is a difference otherwise someone would post "stock recovery.img for all variants".

That's my guess.
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
or they just not been tested across all variants. ;)
[LG G Flex] 99problemz:
Ok was checking. Because when I looked in stock recovery for d950 it doesn't have recovery bin like the d955 in the link. It has recovery img. I'll just use flashtool to go back to stock no problem

[MENTION=2999829]PlayfulGod[/MENTION] what would happen if ....OK you know how if you're on 4.4 and you download your freedom flex apk from the play store and run it, you can get into CWM one time? Well what if you backed up 4.4 then flashed Dfuse's D95910c zip to return to stock, then installed CWM and rooted. Could you restore the 4.4 backup you made ? Can you even make a back up on 4.4 ?

Reason I ask is I'm on Dfuse's rooted 4.4 now. Just checking it out. And figured if it is well......conceivable I might try for s##ts and giggles before going back to 4.2.
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
you could that to go back to 4.2.2, long as his rom is complete like Dfuses 4.4 is.

Yes you can back up 4.4.2, but will have wrong aboot when restoring it and it wont boot. Its not really worth the risk atm to mess with stuff if wanting to stick to kitkat. ;)

Its basically if you wanna play atm, stick to jellybean. ;)

Now if some kernel dev can figure the 4.4 kernel out and get it playing nice with the jb aboot, then we will be golden. ;)
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
I'm not staying on KitKat I just wanted to give her a spin. Its my first look at it on the lg g flex. Had it on my gs4 and its on my Nexus 7 (2013) along with ANDROID L thru multirom but its been 8.5 hours on KitKat and I have 29% battery with a 30 min airplane mode charge in the middle. I can't go for that. I like my 30% usage in 8 hours on JB.
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
umm dunno what you had going on, but on mine I had 50 hours b4 I plugged it in lastnight. ;)

I know some of it was android tuner pro. I had each individual processor set to performance and the gov. On performance. And entropy wide open and oom set on aggressive. But after I put back to stock I still went through 25% bat in 3 hours.

I've noticed the battery draining quicker on kit Kat as well...
[LG G Flex] racosta201045:
Well heres my story. Bought a G Flex after someone stole my One Max. At first I hated the phone and like a dummy updated to 4.4.2. Basically all i could do was root and un bloat my phone. Ended up bricking the phone trying to put recovery. So i ended up replacing the phone and rooted it put twrp on there and now the phone is FRICKEN FLAWLESS!!!!!
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
some days I see more drainage and others its like the energizer bunny, it keeps going, and going, and going. lol

[LG G Flex] jaestoner01:
freaking great.!!

i was really scared to try this but it work flawlessly with my D950. Now my question is since we have recovery, what kind of roms can i played with.? :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
Oh my god I start to recover from two back surgeries and you guys are way ahead of what I had done on the the Flex. I just now got it rooted after AT&T sending me a 4.4.2 after a manufacturer's charge port defect. If you have never tried logic on copious amounts of pain killers you should try. First did everyone miss me and 2nd question is I really didn't want to have to read 50 some odd pages but how are we getting the twrp, or cwm I'm not picky, on the 442's without a bunch of monkey turd nonsense that I can't do from my bed. If you guys can just hit me with a link to what version we can use I'm good from there.

And let me tell you, it is so nice to see you guys (especially you D) surgery sucks but I'm ready to start coding again now that I can sit up.

---------- Post added at 11:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 AM ----------

I will say that the new Flex At%T sent me doesn't do that burned image stuff that my other one did when you change to something else.

---------- Post added at 11:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 AM ----------

Also if you guys want me to test anything on the d950 just let me know. I'm still not having that easy of a time being able to concentrate with the pain. But flashing some adb shiz or whatever is ok.
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
SOL on kitkat atm. ;)
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
Oh man you are kidding me! what version are you using for 4.2.2.so maybe I can do a little work around like I did with my M8?
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
on 4.2.2 its business as usual. ;)
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
So PG, what happens if I try and use your Freedom Flex on the 4.4.2? Are we talking bootloop, bricking, or just rebooting and everything is still ok? Dude they jusy put 4 rods in my spine, 5 screws, they had to go in and readjust with a second surgery and I am looking at having this back brace and waalker for at least a year. And they only wish I have is to have a custom recovery (twrp is preferable) back on my d950 and you are the one that made that beautiful app that I just downloaded and am about to give five stars and then a glowing review when you get the 4.4.2 recoveries on there.

All what I said was true but it is just cool you took the time to make the app, and it looks good. Besides all my bull honkey up there how long are we talking for the Kit Kat recoveries? And please know the guilt was a joke.
[LG G Flex] rubbamade:
rooted my 959 on Stock KitKat with TowelRoot. I do not have a custom recovery either, but I installed Xposed Framework and it has enough tweaks that it feels custom. I can debloat, too. Though, custom recovery and ROMs would be nice.
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
KK wont boot with the aboot we're using to bypass the locked bootloader. And thus far what needs to be done to the kk kernel hasnt been found/reviled to fix the issue.

[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:

not having any luck flashing either recovery. have an internet connection...every time i try install i get a rapid popup box and its gone. boot into recovery and all it does is reboot the phone...no custom recovery at all. any tips? i did try searching before i commented.

awesome work by all that made this!!!

4.2.2 sprint flex rooted...
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
Uninstall apk then go to play store again and get fresh download. Then open apk should be prompted to grant permission in SU. Grant it then click install CWM or TWRP then click recovery of your choice then click reboot recovery (all from the freedom flex apk) and profit
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
Your problem is solved!

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/twrp-recovery-lg-g-watch-samsung-gear-live/
[LG G Flex] kdm212:
ill try that, however i was getting the popup asking for root permission and was granting it. also, system ui just started crashing like every 5 seconds...possibly unrelated i guess.

edit:

out of frustration i decided to just hard reset, re-root, download su, and start over. now i cant make it to the install prompts. i get the circle the never ending circle lol. i must be the only flex user having these issues. it would be my luck lol.

any other way to get recovery on the flex?
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
the circle is the app trying to download the needed files. If it never ends you need to turn wifi on or get in a better signal spot for data to work. ;)
[LG G Flex] kdm212:
alright so i finally got past the circle...now i can click either install and i get the quick popup box...so im back to where i was last night...i really do feel stupid right about now. seems so cut and dry. reboot to recovery simply brings me to a full reboot. are the files available for me to download and add to the proper folders or is that a whole lot more work than needed? any other tips? i so want this to work..thanks for your fast response i really do appreciate it!
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
app does it all.
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
Use a root browser and extract the twrp or cwm recovery.IMG that the apk downloads for your phone and make sure the apk changes your aboot to the f340 aboot then push twrp or cwm to it like you would any recovery.IMG thru adb or fastboot

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------

But yeah like playful said. "Apk does it all "
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
device does need to be rooted too. ;)

The only things I seen that make the app not work is no wifi/data connection or not rooted, or didnt allow it su permissions when superuser prompts for it. ;)
[LG G Flex] allenjthomsen:
Lg g3 has twrp already via purpledrake
[LG G Flex] kintwofan:
The T-Mobile g3 has TWRP. It also comes with an unlocked boot loader stock. The other carriers don't have recovery yet from what I see. So that's not to helpful for the flex because it has a locked bootloader.
[LG G Flex] allenjthomsen:
If im thinking correctly there might be a way to work on the bootloader and unlock it id have to rip it apart and see though might look into it

---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------

Also not to mention the tmobile flex doesnt have a recovery for 4.4.2 either as far as i can tell

---------- Post added at 11:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------

Also i can look into building a kernel for you guys also
[LG G Flex] D-FUSE:
So u can build a kernel bc we need the jb aboot to work with the kk kernel. You think u can patch that?
[LG G Flex] allenjthomsen:
Yes i can i just need all the sources and then i can build a kernel

and src for one device model will work for all as all the defconfigs are included. And not much if any diff between them.
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
Let me say this again since no one seems to f**king read. Recovery works fine with all models. The issue is on 4.4 and getting the kk kernel to stay booted with the stock kernel and maybe possibly on cm when device has service.

PG I understand the frustration, I'm still passed AT&T replaced my 4.2 with a 4.4 when I saw what you had done. I'm just wondering if I don't use the app and just adb the conference if it will stay or if the kernel is going to kill it. And in an going to shut up now because I'm not sure if I'm even on the right track. I'm just going to read from the beginning to see if I am getting it right and the meds aren't hindering conception.

---------- Post added at 02:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

Dude anytime you need help just ask and I would be glad to run whatever. Just as long as we have a great plan to recover if flashing a boot, recovery, and boot don't work or if the kernel isn't restoring.

---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 PM ----------

Ok so I tried downgrading this delightful device back to the 4.2 stock and kernel but it won't take. Is there a trick to getting around AT&T sending me a 4.4? Or is it just me being a f**q up because I can't concentrate on the drugs. I can't freaking think! I should be able to use the LG flash tool and force the 4.2 right or am I dreaming that?
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
That post was from way back before playful got recovery on 4.2 working.

And yes if you are on 4.4 you can download freedom flex apk from the market and install then install cwm or twrp one time. And reboot to recovery immediately or the next time it reboots it will automatically go to recovery. Once in recovery you can NOT boot back to 4.4. You must use dfuse's 4.2.2 JB ROM to get back into phone. And must factory reset after flashing 4.2.2 for it to boot. Otherwise it will boot loop and you will have to use the factory method to boot into factory 4.2.2 recovery then factory reset so your phone will boot into 4.2.2. Then root away and flash custom recovery and have stressless fun again knowing you have recovery but just on 4.2.2.
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
I am downloading now. But you are saying that freedom flex will allow me into twrp or com I just have to instal D's 4.2 once I'm in and then I'm good after a factory recovery.
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
Its not the recovery that craps out, its the kk kernel. It needs modded just to boot with the jb aboot period. But it reboots repeatly (like b4 you can actually do anything or use your phone). Thus it needs more work to figure out that issue and fix it. ;)

purdy much correct. Only certain partitions would actually need to be flashed back, the 4.4 aboot and recovery. As a precaution tho its safer to just say it doesnt work and only devs need to play around while on 4.4. If running 4.2 its open season. ;)
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
I don't care about jelly bean I just want access so I can have control again. I mean I have my m8 but I just don't like it as well as this beauty. Last question: am I using that apk root or was there something better?
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
Right right. I keep going back to play with the new features in kk but keep a thumb drive and otg cable ready with 4.2 and a twrp backup to restore once back on 4.2

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------

Towelroot is easiest on either 4.2 or 4.4. I/o root works too
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
So PG's freedom Flex accounts for the kernel nonsense so there is no other kernel I'm going to need?I mean the the stock is sound enough that I font want to be power blasting anything I don't need to, just open it up and let me get to what I need to.
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
my app doesnt touch the kernel/boot.img. FreedomFlex flashes the f340k aboot and either cwmt or twrp recovery.
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
Oh shiz doesn't D run T Mobile? So can't I just install the January AT&T ROM and then install a custom later? I'm going to search that thread now and make sure he did it with the d950 as well, he is always pretty good about making them as provider friendly as he can.
[LG G Flex] PlayfulGod:
who said it didnt run on tmo??? lol

it works on all variants. ;)
[LG G Flex] PhantomThiefX:
And that is what made you king of the Flex there PG, I just wanted to make sure. That and I'm stoned out of my Ford on pain meds from that back surgery and pretty much nothing is sticking that I read which is why I'm making a checklist for when I do this. And thanks again for all the hard work.

---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------

Oh no I was talking about D Fuses ROM working on AT&T, I think D uses T Mobile and I didn't want to goof up my shiz throwing a T Mobile TOM on my AT&T. That was more me thinking aloud rather than pointing my fingers. I'm sure your apk runs fine on all golf them. What made you think to use the Korean variant to bypass?
