[LG Optimus L90] Vortex559:
I knew how to force it into fastboot a few weeks ago but the oem-unlock doesnt work it just reboots the phone. Neither does reboot recovery work from there.
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Are you issuing the "reboot recovery" command thru Terminal Emulator and if so are you issuing "su" command first? I'm assuming you've already installed CWM or TWRP.
[LG Optimus L90] Vortex559:
No i can boot into recovery with CWM u cant use fastboot commands to boot into stock recovery or unlock bootloader
[LG Optimus L90] hadidjapri:
i somehow boot into fastboot mode by flashing my fail custom kernel

How does one install/use this on Windows 8.1?

When I click adb it just runs a bunch of lines and closes out.

Thanks in advance?
[LG Optimus L90] Ilxaot:
You don't actually run adb lol. You open a command prompt in the folder containing adb and run commands from there. I use Shift + Right click, or you can type cmd in the address bar.
[LG Optimus L90] aSuperSaiyanG0D:
Thanks! I used to know a little adb on my old computer but that was a long time ago back on vista aha

Looks like another 4x HD is in the cards for me...

Been busting a** painting my mothers house while out in Cali and today was an off day to go procure another L90 for round-two, Tom vs. L90 Bootloader. But..., Best Buy increased the price back up to $179 (from their sale of $159 last week). So that sealed the deal for me to have a friend ship another 4x HD from Taiwan (my last one, bought myself at a market in Taipei last summer, met an untimely end early this year).

So..., I'll still watch this forum and send good vibes for all with an L90 to finally get some satisfaction on an unlocked bootloader and fingering MPCS and TMO. Will probably keep up on dev so I can eventually get one on sale again, unlock it and give to my mother (though she'll still be learning the L9 I gave her - glad to off that beast and she's fine with not having it unlocked, though it is rooted).

So..., sincere wishes for all here to get through the home-stretch of unlocking the encrypted bootloader soon! Au revoir!!!
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
I bought mine at WalMart for $149 last Saturday. Check your local stores online some carry it for $149 and others for $179. Just a thought. Data didn't work out of the box for me, I'm on Simple Mobile, but adding the APN was simple and my L90 D415 wasn't T-Mobile or Simple Mobile specific. WalMart Family Mobile was what I believe was on the box, already trashed, but listed the carrier as T-Mobile.

I tried building TWRP for my D405N myself with the same fstab as the russian twrp.img.

The build completed successfully, however, if I flash my recovery and try to enter it, the phone enters into fastboot mode.

Anybody knows why?

(FYI the russian twrp.img works on my phone.)
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
There's something wrong with the new recovery.
[LG Optimus L90] xyrnox:
I know that. The question is what could be wrong?
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Without seeing what you built and the process you've went thru, I cannot say. Did you also include LG's proprietary files?
[LG Optimus L90] gregferns:
Hi

I have a LG L90 but i do not see the Quick-Button anywhere in the settings.

Can anyone help please.

thanks

Greg
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Settings->General Tab. Down towards the bottom in the "System" subcategory.
[LG Optimus L90] xyrnox:
- Yes, I included LG's proprietary files. I examined the file system and the LG G2's config and extracted a lot of files from my phone.

- I also compared the resulting ramdisk file system with the russian twrp.img's and I didn't find any noticeable difference which can cause this.

Steps I followed:

- I synced CM11 repository.

- I've overwritten CWM with TWRP in bootables/recovery

- I set up everything in the makefiles, fstab, etc.

- I extracted vendor files from the phone and set up makefiles to include them in the image

- I built the recoveryimage.

I tried following CM's building and porting documentations as close I could. I was building on Linux Mint 17 x64.
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
I've only built with Ubuntu. Is Linux Mint a typical Android build OS? Reason I ask, the problem could be the tool chains used. Sorry, I'm grasping for straws here... It's probably been a year or better since I've built anything and I no longer have Ubuntu running on anything and I sold my good laptop. Current PC is too old and slow for building anything Android. Hopefully someone else will have the answer you're looking for.
[LG Optimus L90] xyrnox:
Linux Mint 17 is based on Ubuntu 14.04. I don't think this problem has anything to do with the OS.
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Has anyone figured out how to check bootloader status? As in to see if it's locked or unlocked. I've been thru the hidden menu options on my D415 and can't find anything pertaining to the bootloader.
[LG Optimus L90] xyrnox:
I think if you can flash and boot to a custom recovery, you have an unlocked bootloader.

When my D405N's bootloader was locked, I couldn't boot the russian TWRP image. After I unlocked it, the very same TWRP was working fine.
[LG Optimus L90] Ilxaot:
I was afraid I was the only one. That was bothering me last weekend more than it should've.
[LG Optimus L90] Rabid Flasher:
Press and hold the quick button for about two seconds and the quick button menu should open.

I was thinking along the same lines but with LG devices ya never know. Without access to fastboot mode or a recovery with adb debugging enabled, I'm extremely hesitant to try anything.

Rom

Lets get our priorities straight i.e not(tweaks,semi roms,im ok with root,lets settle for gravity box) lets get our bootloadr unlock and if its not needed lets get someone developing roms imk willing to flash any roms the community finds compatible with this phone
[LG Optimus L90] rysk29:
i agree, root and recovery is great 4 now after all we have kitkat already and xposed is good enough.. and if we bork anything up we can restore a backup! FTW lol.... bootloader should b number priority 1.5 with 1 being bug free recoverys.

from wat i gather having a locked bootloader doesn't allow un approved roms like cm... thats why i suggested something like what my fire 2 has... a 2nd bootloader that allows un approved roms.. kindle fire 2nd gen has locked bootloader aw well, but 2nd bootloader bypasses that.

Well..., that opens new thinking for me. Get another L90 from wally world, hack the cr*p out of it, either beat it into submission and keep it, sell the 4x when it comes, or send it back to pasture like the first one. Thanks for the heads-up on it though, good to know they sell for as little as a bill and a half!

[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
The "Vanilla"ROM tweaks you keep asking about is a reference to a description for some of the abilities of the GravityBox [KK] module for the Xposed Framework.

how to disable switching SIMs?

Does anybody know any way to disable the button on the bottom right to switch SIMs for outgoing calls/messages?

I have two SIMs in my phone, the first is for my home network, the second is for when I travel, I swap the second SIM card with a local SIM. (I travel alot and have a few different SIM cards for whatever country I'm in. It saves me a ton of money by avoiding roaming).

I keep hitting this stupid button and switching to the other SIM without realizing it. If I am travelling and using roaming and make an international call, I realize too late that I’m on the wrong SIM and pay crazy roaming and international calling rates. Yes, I could disable the non-local SIM, but I want to be able to receive calls and text messages on it.

Making it so easy to switch SIMs is a horrible design flaw… I’ve probably already lost half the money I spent on this phone in accidental calls on the wrong SIM.

If I cannot find a way to disable this button, I’ll need to get a new phone.

Thanks for your help.

[LG Optimus L90] lewinr:
Mine certainly has dual SIM. (Model number in "Hardware Information" shows as "LG-D410"). I thought it was only available in the dual-SIM version. Maybe they have two versions.
[LG Optimus L90] Rabid Flasher:
My mistake. I did a quick search and found that there is a dual sim D410. However, there may not a way to disable the button's function. Have you tried pressing and holding the button to see if anything happens? I know for a fact that holding the quick button down for a while makes a menu appear which allows you to set it to do absolutely nothing. Maybe the sim switch button functions on the same principle?

No Solution for now since you want to receive sms or call on both sims

i had same problem at first but later get use to it

What i use to do

-it is either i dont load credit on the number or

-switch the sim off whether 1 or 2

-I also learn how to get use to the key i.e if i'm typing or making call,i always look at the sim number display

Overall i think it is a good design
[LG Optimus L90] hadidjapri:
similar with mine except i flash kernel not recovery. is it the packing method that caused it to boot into fastboot? what do you think?

[MENTION=513620]Quarx[/MENTION] could you please post the configuration and makefiles you built your TWRP image with?
[LG Optimus L90] LaDY Vengeance:
I did this for my previous phone, the Optimus L9 P769. I basically downloaded the stock 4.4.2 rom for the Nexus and pulled the system apps. Remember to place them in system/priv-app and change permissions to rw- r-- r-- then reboot.
[LG Optimus L90] gregferns:
[/QUOTE]

For KNOCK CODE to unlock screen,, you need compatible Kernel and kernel level gestures etc...Very difficult for the devs to do in Xposed.

In Xposed module you can ONLY UNLOCK SCREEN AFTER SCREEN IS WOKEN....

Hope this explains...

thanks

Hi,

If you don't have a physical quick button directly above the volume buttons then there won't be a quick button option within the settings. No button=No settings to activate or customize it.

OTG Compatibility 4.4.2?

Recently bought my L90 (upgraded from a six-year old LG cosmos) and have been trying to sync a bluetooth ps3 controller to my device.

Using the sixaxis controller app, an OTG cable, and a mini USB cable, I have been unable to sync. My device is rooted (via towelroot), but I have been unable to pair my PS3 controller with the sixaxis map.

Following the directions for the app, I have gotten to the step of connecting the controller via USB, only for the app to repeatedly request I connect the controller via USB.

So, I was wondering if the LG Optimus L90 supports OTG compatibility in version 4.4.2?
[LG Optimus L90] aSuperSaiyanG0D:
I've tried OTG with my Xbox 360 and a USB Stick and no luck..
[LG Optimus L90] Tweber142:
I tried with a wireless 360 adapter but I'm thinking that, since the port on the optimus isn't powered (or not enough power? I'm shooting blanks here), the light didn't even come on the adapter.

[LG Optimus L90] Rabid Flasher:
I have the Tinted Status Bar xposed module. It changes my status bar color to match the app giving it a kind of "Android L" look. And because it couldn't determine what color to use for the XDA app it set it as black. :D

[LG Optimus L90] AndroidAddict||AA:
Sorry to bother y'all, has a recovery been achieved for this device? If it has then did y'all unlock the bootloader or is there a work around to get the recovery on the device without bricking? Thanks in advance ;)

Hey Rabid Flasher, for some reason whenever I need to copy some text the status bar goes all white.

I've changed most system apps to just be black and white, but I cannot figure out what app would be the clipboard?

It's no big problem tho just my OCD kicks in every time aha
[LG Optimus L90] Ilxaot:
We can flash recovery without unlocking the bootloader. Although, it's a bit buggy. For me, it won't read the memory or the internal storage or the external sd card, which makes it pretty useless. I'll update the original thread to include information regarding recovery.

Also, it does that every time I open the keyboard. Unsure as to why.

Also, congratulations everybody, we now have a forum! :D The moderator notified me that the thread was moved!(:

[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Bear in mind that this aboot patch has NOTHING to do with the D415 L90. We can already flash a custom recovery to the D415 without this aboot. Doesn't necessarily mean the D415's bootloader is unlocked, but I also haven't found a viable way to determine if the D415 bootloader is locked or unlocked. LG's hidden menu had no options for the bootloader like the hidden menu for the L9 and several others.

How about forcing fastboot by nuking the laf partition and using the commands to check the status?

Hahaha! I like Twilight better. Anyway, the command is....

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf

Play store kaput?

Hello,

I've towel-rooted the phone and installed SuperSU as instructed. All looked well, no problems. Then play store wouldn't come up. I tried syncing things, and clearing the cashe(s) over and over....nothing worked--stayed up late into the night trying to get my new phone to work.... So I went into SuperSU and did the full unroot (very easy). Play store worked again.... Again I did the towelroot and installed SuperSU again....and this time play store remained, however, apps can't be moved to the formatted/partitioned SD card, only linked.

This defeated my purpose in rooting as I want to use Link2SD. I linked everything over anyway--on all downloaded aps, and I guess it saves space (even though I'm running out), and Storage says I have less than 1% on the card....and it doesn't show the extended section (though Link2SD saw it and mount-scripts went fine...). I downloaded and installed a bunch of aps anyway.

I used the Root Checker app just now, and it said I have no root. So, once more, I did the towelroot, and opened SuperSU again. Now once again, NO PLAY STORE.

Bottom Line: Anyone else having issues with Play Store?????
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Not that I'm aware of. What model L90?
[LG Optimus L90] Ilxaot:
That's a really odd issue there, mate.
[LG Optimus L90] LaDY Vengeance:
That is strange. I rooted the same way and Play Store works fine for me. Maybe Lookout is interfering?

Thanks, I wasn't aware that this function can be modified by GravityBox's function "PIE controls". But I do not find an option to add apps there either. :confused:

GravityBox has it's own pie controls, I just figured out.
