One thing that comes to my mind is that maybe the recovery image is not comptabilite with my phone. I know that when I tried to install TWRP with TWRP Manager it gave me an error when I chose g2d802 in device name so I didn't do it. The first link (tutorial I used) I posted, I used "openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-d802" but I'm 99% it's the right one for my phone?

Unfortunately it doesn't enter download mode...

You mean that "/dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5" thing? I did that but it doesn't do nothing.

PLEASE can someone else reply? I seriously don't know what to do.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_007:
Try this method

Then boot from the usb stick(don't install ubuntu..just boot)

open terminal

copy and paste this - line by line (enter)

gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount False

gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount_open False

Then follow the instructions
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iowabowtech:
At that point, press and hold the power button for 30 seconds to make sure its off completely. Then try download mode again. If you've already been doing that, disregard.

OK it works!!!! I guess all I had to do is get some sleep and think fresh. =) Now that I'm in TWRP i'd like to install a rom, Am I safe to do it? I was thinking about Pardus HD but I have 2 questions.

1. I'm in TWRP but the computer doesn't detect my phone, how i am supposed to copy PardusHDC_7.1.zip to my phone?

2. it says "Upgrade your Recovery to TWRP 2.7.0.0 or Latest Philz Recovery" in installation guide, I have v2.6.3.2, will that make any difference?

Could you please help me by telling how you got it working?? I am using a bootable USB of ubuntu and lsusb is showing my phone as Qualcomm 9006 but when I type ls /dev/sd* it is not giving me the device due to which I could not push the partition files.

Hi,

I saw your reply on the post which is related to the same issue I am facing since last 5 sleepless nights :( . I have a LG G2 D802 international variant and it had kitkat 4.4.2 earlier which I have successfully rooted. I recently received an OTA which I clicked to update [worst day of my life :( ] after that my phone is stuck in boot loop and rest you know. I trying to use ubuntu to push the partition files and recovery, but my phone is not detectable in ubuntu. lsusb is showing my phone as Qualcomm 9006 but when I type ls /dev/sd* it is not showing my phone. I saw your method in the quote and tried this also but it is still not working :( . Could you please let me know how can I solve this? Also by using the commands above does the phone needs to be connected or not ?? Please help me :( . You can PM me on devanuj.singh@gmail.com.

Hi,

I used vmware and guess what it is detecting the device as sdb. But I have too many pop ups for error related to mounting of devices. Could you also help me out on that?? Also I am facing the problem that the .img files that I have to push to the partitions is in the C:/ Drive of my host OS [Windows 7] , so how could I move them to the virtual machine so that it is detected in the Virtual Ubuntu?? I know this could be very lame but I am not good in this :( please help me.....the detection of the partitions has given me a ray of hope that I could see my precious G2 alive again :)....

Thanks :)

How did you end up fixing the issue? And the 'must have' to get into Download Mode...

I had the same issue but was able to either get into TWRP or get into Download mode.

Remember always connect to the PC when trying to enter download mode. It may seem rudimentary, but I have walked people through some serious stuff and the underlying problem was that there they unplugged the phone and there was no USB connection.

I know your phone was plugged in due to all the partitions coming up, but sometimes people unplug and forget.

How did you solve this problem may I ask?

By power + volume down, release power + volume down to get into TWRP or Factory Data Mode? Or the Ubuntu approach?

I have a verizon lg g2 that ran smooth up until I did a factory reset while on official 4.4.2... since the factory reset my phone is extremely slow and laggy... I rooted it and installed carbon Rom and that was even worse...so then I used the 11a tot to go.back to factory and it is still laggy and very slow ... what else can I do or anyone have an idea of what's wrong ???

For some time now my S4 allowed only pin or password security as this is a annoyance but I can live with it, see pic.

Anyway once I get the S5 I want to restore the S4 to original condition to sell it.

Can this be done? How?

It sure can. You'll need to use Odin and a stock firmware file. I'd suggest either the full wipe MK2or NC5 file

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjraider:
Depends on the way you use your phone.

I prefer stock because:

- Walkman app (and led function)

- Battery Life is good for me (I use walkman alot and also alot of Instagram, Facebook and Whatsapp)

I prefer CM because:

- Root

- Clean Android

- More custom Themes ;)

- A lot of more apps and mods work on CM based ROMS

I hate Stock because:

- Ram issue

- Bloatware < Some can be removed

- Horrible Auto Brightness

I Hate CM because:

- Battery Life < Not always that great

- Extra apps needed to fully use the led bar

- Updates via recovery because no ota...

This is just a sumup from me. I have no idea how you use your phone ;)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] pcmediciowa:
Here to help if i can!

I have two SPH-L720T in my shop right now. I have been fairly successful over the years unlocking Samsung devices, but this one has me stumped. I certainly will pull anything that anyone needs from these phones. I have already made the two different sized debrick.img (70 & 128) Unfortunately both of these phones were already updated to 4.4.2 when I received them. (L720TVPUBNC6)

Update: Well so far I had no problem backing up one firmware revision to 4.3 MK5, I did lose sound, and did not seem to gain much control over that modem either. I have been able to register on Iowa Wireless, our T Mobile Subsidiary here in Iowa, and in service mode it shows that I am connected to their 1900 MHz PCS, GSM/GPRS/EDGE, 2G. I have been rather lazy in posting so I do not have enough posts yet to link screenshots. I do have though.

Tired of searching for ways to unlock l720t just bought on Ebay m919 (can i337) with a broken screen for $ 50. Just replaced the main board, usb charge and the back cover with speaker (purchase only the main board you can not do. Need three components for a successful replacement).in l720t middle frame of i9505. Remove a little of plastic and everything is fine. Free method to unlock m919 and i337, you can find on this forum.

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
I just need a tester for a small idea i have for installing twrp recovery and 2nd bootloader in a safer manner than usual. The other manners are pretty safe but i figured this seemed really safe because its so simplistic in nature. I don't know whether i will continue this project depending on the results of the test, but basically i thought why not make a 2nd init/bootstrapped twrp that runs a ota update on a zip file that just installs everything for you with a conveniently placed zip file with asserts that it checks for then deletes itself. My first test is just for a 2012 kfhd 7" that either has no 2nd bootloader + twrp and a fastboot cable handy to restore in case this soft bricks it or one with a version of twrp already installed that it higher than 2.6.0.0. I don't wanna post the actual file because i don't want accidental bricks. Chances are based on how this works it will probably brick the first time around because i have not messed with the hijack scripts to mount everything properly yet, but this was taken from another omap based device so if it doesn't work i don't think it will take too much tweaking, but the initial binary it tries to run may cause some havok. I can assure you this should be easy to restore from in twrp by simply renaming a system file, otherwise without a copy of twrp already installed you will have to restore with kffa. I need the kindle that this is being tested on to also be on a rooted amazon os, not another rom. I have no idea if twrp will work with amazon's stock kernel so this should be interesting. post back if you are interested.

If you are wondering why i didn't decide to test this on my own first its simply because i don't feel like having to wipe my entire data partition and restore the data from my pc just to clear selinux xattribs off my data partition so that amazon's kernel will not throw a fit.

So overview for those that don't want to read that big paragraph:

Requirements:

-Running Amazon OS with root

-Have a way to recover from brick (2nd bootloader + twrp or flash back with kffa/srt) - twrp preferred but plz have a never version than 2.6.0.0 installed.

-Have busybox installed
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Ph0enix_216:
If I can get my Kindle back up and running, I'll have a go at it for you. But that's a pretty big if right now.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
Ok thanks, kinda surprised no one has offered before you. This had over 100 views. I guess not too many people are using amazon os that are willing to risk a softbrick. Hopefully this will work I think it is a bit safer than the other methods for beginners that don't want to risk anything.

Tapatalk is annoying me to no end lately... Had to type this message again because quick reply is being glitchy.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Red_81:
I could also volunteer. I have an extra Kindle fire 7" Hd. It is rooted and running 7.4.8. I have my trusty fastboot cable and I already have system images for a quick restore.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] r3pwn:
The safest method is to "fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader oldbootloader.bin" then "fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot" (assuming you're using the cable and it auto-kicks you into bootloader mode again) "fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery twrp.img" and finally "fastboot -i 0x1949 oem recovery"

Edit: This is a more complex version of Hashcode's method, posted on the cm11 installation instructions page.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
Yea but the thing about that method is sometimes people have bad downloads and don't check for md5sums(not to mention tons of people always having driver issues). If everything is in a signed zip file then if the signature verification fails its about the same as a bad md5sum, not to mention I can add a md5sum comparison in the update-tools script. I was just wanting to make a one click bootloader install option that comes from an apk, kinda like fire flash but simpler.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] r3pwn:
So you're suggesting using an OpenRecoveryScript to flash twrp, the old bootloader, and apply the stack override file to allow for that "2nd boot loader" hack?

Theoretically, that should work, but Amazon might have put restrictions on the recovery to only allow Amazon-signed zip files so that something like this couldn't happen.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
I thought only Amazon's recovery would have issues with the signature, even if tarp does I can just disable the signature check and use the update-script to check the md5sum before flashing.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] r3pwn:
If TWRP is required, doesn't that make this pointless, because you need the 2nd bootloader hack to make twrp work in the first place? Or perhaps I'm just misunderstanding...

EDIT: when I have the time, I'll see if I can manage to recover from my weird semi-brick and if so, I'll revert to stock and help you test.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
Thanks, and what I,m saying is you run twrp through 2nd init. I have done it on my phone before, has the same hardware as a kf1 with twice as much ram. I have not seen tarp implemented in this manner before though, only cwm, that's another reason I wanted to test this idea.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] r3pwn:
Oh. You mean a FakeFlash? That's when you flash a zip that actually just overlays a second recovery. Ex. Flashing a TWRP FakeFlash would allow you to use TWRP from the stock recovery without replacing the installed recovery.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
That kinda sounds like it, for a more detailed explanation, this is what i'm basing it off of: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2095825
