More good news I think. Even though I can't properly update SuperSu's binaries, it lets me grant permissions to Greenify and ABP perfectly fine (I had Greenify already installed before I rooted, so I had to reinstall it to give it root access). Some of the comments on the original Towelroot thread seem to say that we don't need to download a super user app at all to give root apps permissions.

EDIT:

Tried it, my binaries updated correctly. However, now I'm getting an "Invalid Card" (LTE sim card) error.

[General Questions and Answers] Ph0enix_216:
If I had to make a guess, I'd say you have a corrupted download of the system or your phone doesn't have enough free space to work with the update. Also make sure your battery has enough juice while updating, too.

Hope I helped :)

[General Questions and Answers] gdoornink:
Thanks for the reply! Is there a way to repair or replace a corrupted download? Would a "factory data reset" do that? I think I have enough space, but I can try to get rid of some stuff and try that. And the battery's got enough charge, that's not a problem.
[General Questions and Answers] Ph0enix_216:
The update is in /cache/, if you're rooted, you can delete it from there and let it re -download. Not sure what a factory reset would do, besides wipe your data :/

Coming from other Samsung / LG phones, I feel that the LG Volt's screen is somewhat dark. I don't mean that it is not bright. In a term usually used to describe HDTV, I feel that there is "black crush". Does anyone share the same feeling?

There's an option somewhere in the Google Services application, toggle it and it should stop giving you software update notifications.

Status 7 error for ZV6 update

Hey guys, I’m relatively new here and not much of a developer, but I’m wrestling with a problem and I could use some direction. I’ve got a rooted Virgin Mobile LG volt with stock 4.4.2 and ZV5. I haven’t played with any custom ROMs or anything like that, just simple stuff.

Every few days I get a notification telling me that I have a zv6 update downloaded, but when I try to install it the progress bar makes it about 1/3 of the way across before the installation is aborted. I unrooted my phone, no change. I cleared the cache and let the update re-download, no change. I then tried to install it manually from Recovery Mode, and I discovered quite happily that it gave me a running log during the update. It showed the following:

-- Install /cache ...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

Installing update...

Verifying current system...

"E/system/priv-app/LGEasyHome.apk" has unexpected contents

E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted

I researched “Status 7,” and there were two recommendations for fixing it:

(1) Flashing the stock OS back onto the phone. The problem is I have no idea how to do this, and I’m still really new to the world of rooted phones so I’m afraid of bricking it.

(2) Using a text editor to remove the “asserts” part of the update. I’m worried that maybe the wrong update got pushed to my phone and removing the “asserts” section will install a bad version a brick my phone, but I wanted to look into it more.

So, I have now rooted my phone again. I used a file manager to find the update file and move it from the cache to the SD card, but I still can’t see it when my phone is mounted to my computer. I think this is because the permissions on the file are limited, but any attempt to change them with my file manager fails.

And now I’m not sure what to do next with the update file, or whether my best option is to learn how to flash a ROM? The only reason I’m going to all this trouble is because ZV6 includes the fix to stagefright. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. =)

Pattern-Locked - No Factory Reset - No DL Mode - No PC Connection

Hello all : an XDA gatekeeper sent me over here for help, so , here goes....

Picked up a Boost Volt from eBay for a few bucks, seller said device is user-locked. Thought "no problem, just factory reset and I'll use it for a GPS device for hiking/traveling". Problem, it will not factory reset! All I'm getting is the LG logo and notification light coming on, then blank screen, then the logo again quickly, then off again. It keeps cycling this continuously. I opened the back and discovered a Sprint sim. Now, I'm thinking someone has been monkeying with this thing. I installed the LG drivers but the device is not recognized at all. Even tried another PC. Using an app called USBDeview it shows the device as HID Charge Only and USB Input Device. Also, it will not go to DL Mode as the LG logo appearing/disappearing thing happens again. Since the PC doesn't recognize it I didn't get very far with ADB, or LG Flash Tool. Since it is pattern-locked I can't get in to select MTP, or even check to see if debugging is set. It will boot to the patter-lock screen (although now it is the "backup PIN screen) but that is it.

Bricked beyond help? Send it to Boost (probably more money than I'm willing)? Open it up and short out some traces? Toss the phone, use the extra battery for my other Volt and learn my lesson?

[General Questions and Answers] TheCyrex:
The LG Volt does not have a GSM radio so you can't sim-unlock it.

EDIT:

Upon searching more, I found a thread on HowardForums (I'm unable to post links due to my post count) which I believe concluded that VM and Boost phones are not worth the massive effort to make compatible with each other and VM locks their phones down tough.

Anyone figure out how to update with the persistent update message problem?

I have a stock zv4. I immediately rooted with kingroot but started getting that update message. It starts the android logo and progress bar, but stops about 1/3 of the way in and reboots without applying the upgrade. Based on my data usage, it will keep re-downloading that 200MB file every few days after trying to apply it and it's killing my allowable data.

At this point, I'd just like to update to either zv5 or zv6 easily without bricking my phone, don't really care about keeping root.
[General Questions and Answers] QuickNET Tech:

Check out android forums then. XDA was never too active with this phone. They have guides to install TWRP and then you can either go with a custom rom or flash a pre rooted factory rom via TWRP. Now I have been away from this phone for over a year now, but since you are on zv4, you will be fine.

But from my research it turns out really good and it's reversible. If you don't like it, peel it off.

[General Questions and Answers] nickisneato:
Please read, I need help!

(Sorry for the long paragraph, just read the bold parts)

So I've been using my LG Volt on Sprint for quite a while now. I'm a pretty heavy user of my phone, and most of the time, I root my phone just so I can have more power for my device. Even before I rooted it, though, it started acting up, like going really slow in the menus, freezing up and restarting, all that good stuff. Then it kinda just stopped booting up. It seemed like it was loading the OS, since when I plugged it in to charge when it was off, it still showed my percentage. But it wouldn't boot past the Sprint screen. I then found out I was in a bootloop, which I don't know how it happened because I hadn't really done anything to mess with the system files (as I said before, this happened before I rooted). I installed a fresh ZV4 Firmware (I couldn't find anything better) with the LG FlashTool and I noticed the Sprint bootup animation wasn't there, and there was a stock LG bootup instead. Also, none of the Sprint bloatware was on the phone. I disregarded it, thinking I could just activate it later, and installed everything I had before, except this time, I strayed away from apps that didn't come from the Play Store. I did end up rooting the phone, because the LG Volt is on Kitkat, and I couldn't really do anything with my SD card unless I rooted. It was working fine, but then the same bootloop problem happened again. I got pretty upset, but I knew how to remedy the problem from before so it was an easy fix. Still, the Sprint bootup wasn't there, but I didn't pay notice to it yet again. This same problem has been happening much more frequently as of late. In fact, as I'm typing this, I just fixed it again. I'm thinking it might be a problem with the .tot and .dll files I'm using on the FlashTool, but I couldn't find anything better. I did a malware scan on the phone storage and my SD Card, and nothing came up, so I'm pretty sure that's not the problem.

I really need help with these 2 problems (the frequent bootloops and the Sprint stuff not showing up), because every time the phone goes into a bootloop and I reset it, I lose everything I had on the phone! I hope someone can help me!

Thanks.

ls740 band 5 needed

Hi. After these many days have anyone got a solution to add band 5 to lg ls740 also anything on the gsm part. As to my info the phone has the primary level gsm hidden and that needs changes in the firmware it self. Only then it seems to have gsm enabled. There cant be anyother way to lock certain parts as its claimed. Its a part of the chipset and that cant be manipulated.

I manually installed an updated SuperSU from the xda-developers forum. It installed fine, and updated the binary fine.

Was able to successfully move the apk from /data/app to /system/app. LTE continues to work...

Curious though, the /system/xbin/su permissions are NOT rwsr-xr-x as expected...I set them that way, and when the phone reboots, permissions are reset to rwxr-xr-x.

Running su, even with those permissions continues to work, however...Curious.

Used textdroider_dpi to change my dpi to 220 for a denser display (no more kindergarten looking font). CPU Adjuster shows my phone running at 1190Ghz with the on-demand CPU scheduler (4 cores) . The phone also uses the ROW IO scheduler. No-frills shows several IO schedulers available but why change from row. The on - demand cpu scheduler is the best performance to battery scheduler available. These can be changed with a different rom, which we don't have (yet ;) ).

Those are my adventures so far :D

[General Questions and Answers] deja_geek:
Nothing special. With Geohot's exploit, it's litterally is click and reboot. Do yourself a favor and grab the zip file from the chainfire thread, unzip it and move the SuperSU apk over to your phone's SD card. After rooting, just install it like a normally downloaded APK. From there, you will be able to update it to the lastest version. While you don't need to have Super Su installed, as towelroot grants you root access, it grants it for anything that requests root (which is increadably inscure). Up next we need to figure out how to get a custom recovery and rom on this phone.

That would be great, not sure how the locked stock recovery would effect that, or if the bootloader is locked. We haven't been able to flash any zips though the recovery from other phones due to the signitures being different.
