[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
If I remember correctly, I had to rename install-recovery.sh (or something like that) by adding .bak to the end of the filename. Boot into fastboot, flash your recovery, and try to boot into recovery.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
That warning you see is just the boot logo and can be gotten rid of by flashing a custom logo. Stock Moto boot logos on this platform have two images -- one for locked and another for unlocked bootloaders. It's a non issue and just confirms that the bootloader is unlocked.

You accessed that menu by powering up and holding both volumes and power. Volume down scrolls and volume up selects in there.

To install a custom recovery, boot into fastboot mode and flash it with fastboot. Mythtools, maybe BootMyHD, can do that for you if you don't have moto-fastboot binary or are unable to run "moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" with your phone plugged into a rear usb port in fastboot mode with a terminal/command prompt open to the directory with the recovery image.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Nevadadave:
More questions

audit13, how do I access that file to change the name? I tried again this morning, and after doing the boot to recovery key sequence, I got a menu, and before it went away, I selected boot to recovery, but got the dead android icon. I tried several other options and it just did a normal boot. Still stumped.

skeevydude, I have tried installing a couple of custom recoveries, using fastboot, and when I do, I get a message saying all went well, but when I boot up, it either does the "failed Android" or just boots up normally. I'll try Mythtools and BootMyHD, but it seems that there is something else going on here.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Maybe something else going on. Are you flashing using the rear usb port of your PC? It really does matter.

To answer the first question about install-recovery, once you're rooted, use Root Explorer or something similar, mount /system as read/write, go to /system/etc, rename the file install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak, and reboot.

If you have adb installed on your PC you can do

adb root

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system

adb shell cp /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak

adb shell rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

adb reboot
[Motorola Atrix HD] Nevadadave:
I'll try it and see what happens

OK, I did not know about USB port preference. I'll try it and see what happens. Thanks!
[Motorola Atrix HD] Nevadadave:
No joy

Well, I tried front and back USB ports, in all cases, adb says "adb can't run as root in production builds". adb sees the phone, but about all I can do is start fastboot, but once there adb doesn't work until I reboot.

I tried running the remount command, but got a message, "Operation not permitted" I'm assuming because I could not root into the phone. Titanium backup shows that the phone is, indeed, rooted.

Stuck again...
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
Install Root Explorer, find the file, add .bak to the end, reboot to fastboot, install Philz, boot into recovery.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Nevadadave:
I tried that, got a "Rename failed". It appears that the file is set to read-only, and the Root Explorer doesn't seem to have a way to change that. I'm open to additional suggestions. I had thought that root access would allow me to do things like change file permissions, but I cannot do this with Root Explorer. Everything I try, I get a message that it can't be done, because the file system is read-only.

At the top of the file list, it says "mounted as r/o, but nothing shows to change that, although I see num,erous web posts that claim that there should be a "R/W" button somewhere.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Nevadadave:
Better luck

OK, I dropped Root Explorer and loaded ES File Explorer. ES Explorer allowed me to change the file R/W permissions and rename the stock recovery file.

adb would still not allow me to get to root, so I loaded adbd insecure from the Play store, and that gave me root access. I flashed the CWR 6.0.4.4, and so far (fingers crossed) I was able to boot to CWM and I'm backing up my system now. Hopefully, the next update will be to say that I have a new ROM installed...
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
All you need to gain r/w access is to click on the ro button to change it to read/write.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Nevadadave:
Audit13 I'm not sure what you mean here. Root Explorer never indicated a "R/O" button or any other way to change permissions, it just kept saying that the file system was write-protected. ES File Explorer was very easily able to change this and allow me to remove the automatic recovery overwrite.

So, at this point, I have Cyanogen 10.2 running on my Atrix HD, and although I have found a few glitches, it is faster and it is now MINE!
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
In Root Explorer, You'll see the words "Mounted as r/o". To the right will be a button that says "Mount R/W".

I went with Validus 5.1 over 10.2.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djtheraven:
For those of you who install a ROM should know that when a ROM is new it has a settled down period and you have to wait a couple days to a week for good battery life again... That's why every time a new update comes out the first thing everybody says is oh this update is so bad the battery drain is so bad.... Like clockwork every update everybody complains about the battery please wait a week before you start complaining about the battery... And especially if you are on a custom ROM and you switch to the factory ROM then you're going to notice a difference in battery life anyway...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigdreco:
I have always heard this..

you have to wait a few days to get good battery life..

but why??

what is the phone doing that is draining the battery, that it wont be doing after a few days.

I would think the battery would get worst, the longer you had a rom.. because as time goes on.. you would be adding more apps that would eat up your battery more..

but why do the battery sucks at the beginning??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Frank Westlake:
I think it is because when programs are run for the first time the system creates and caches optimized code. This extra work for each program causes more drain.

I can't really have him install that because his phone won't go past the Galaxy Note 3 screen when he boots. This is what happened... he rooted successfully rooted with kingo and installed safestrap. He made a nandroid backup and installed a rom. The rom was force closing a lot of his apps so he decided to return to his nandroid backup. He first wiped everything and then he was going to restore but his backup wasn't there so he rebooted from there and that was his mistake. He can't enter safestrap anymore and won't get past the Galaxy Note 3 screen. This is all the information I have from his device.

Weeks ago i tried the chinese kitkat but i had 2 problems as many others who tried it :

1) The cursor was missing in many apps ( in the search field of Play Store for example )

2) Below the incoming call i was seeing chinese letters.

Only these 2 things. ( i don't mention the lack of google play apps because i know how to install them manually )

I don't want better score in benchmarks,

I don't want any customizations.

I just want a rom exactly as the chinese KK but with the above 2 things corrected.

Is there such rom out there ?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sansari123:
Greetings-

I used the Cyanogenmod procedures to compile an image for my Note 3. The first time I installed it, the imaged booted up but I got a message about nfcservice not working. I do not recall the exact words, but it implied that nfcservice has an issue. I then, went into recovery and recovered an earlier image. The initial recovery try did not go well, and it was stuck. The last message was about the modem. But my next try worked. I had to use a backup I had from my stock firmware. Then I tried to install my unofficial image again. This time the phone went into download mode after I flashed my image. This keeps repeating, and I don’t know where to begin to troubleshoot this issue. Are there any logs I can look through? Aside from factory reset, I tried to clear all the other data; everything except the internal memory which holds my backups. But this did not fix anything. Do you have any advice for me? Oh, btw, this image is patched with seek-for-android patches. And I went through a lot to get it to work, since they did not support version 11. Thanks in advance.

In my experience trying to troubleshoot something like this can be way more time consuming then un-rooting doing a factory reset back to stock OEM rom and then re-rooting and flashing the image again.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NicoC72:
Just got my T-Mobile G2 a few days ago and have been looking around at the different ways of rooting it. I know the T-Mobile variant is harder to root and run a custom ROM on because IORoot doesn't work on the KitKat OTA, so I haven't updated it yet. Right now the phone is running the D80110C firmware.

What I'm asking for is a way of being able to get the phone to the point where I can flash any 4.4.2 ROM compatible with it (even if it needs patches). Looking at both dr87's guide and utesred's guide, I'm thinking I need to take the following steps:

1. Root the 4.2.2 D80110C firmware (currently on the phone) with IORoot.

2. Install latest version of TWRP. Need suggestions on how to do this.

3. Reboot into TWRP, wipe everything (minus internal storage), flash SmiLey497's 4.4.2 ROM and the SU file. I gotta do this all in one go or it will complicate things.

4. Reinstall TWRP using AutoRec.

5. Go on to flash something like CM11 or Mahdi-ROM.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Alright, I got it! Just followed my guide and the recovery install method suggested by XxZombiePikachu and everything worked great.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NicoC72:

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NicoC72:
Ok, everything's rooted and running just fine! Installed CM11 and the KitKat modem with rotation fix.

For anyone who finds this thread in the future, here's the zip of stuff you need to flash TWRP the first time, just make sure to pick up IORoot25 as well, since that's what I used to for the adb. Second time around (once you have the rooted KitKat LG ROM installed), use AutoRec. Here's a link to the KitKat modem you might need if you flash a ROM and auto rotate doesn't work.

I'm not responsible if you screw up your device. This all worked for me, so I'm just sharing the steps for prosperity. Make sure you ready all the threads and guides I linked or mentioned, use OEM cables, use a USB 2.0 port that is actually connected to the motherboard in your PC (not a hub, pass-through, or front case port), as well as being focused at the task at hand. Disabling your anti-virus might help too, used to have to do this when rooting older phones, so it might still be necessary.

If this does work, have fun with your newly rooted LG G2 D801! :good:
