[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] WarAxe:
What do folks on custom roms here do for a modem/radio? Being divorced from Sprint OTA updates makes me nervous about whether or not I'm getting the best coverage, or how I'm supposed to update my PRL.

As a note, I'm currently using C-Rom KitKat 6.6.
[LG Optimus G Pro] som1special2:
I have managed to root my device after the 10P firmware! FYI, I used Android Kingo Root.

After looking into many posts, forums, etc... I have come to the conclusion that unlocking the bootloader is going to be trickier than any other device I have been successful with. I want to install CM 10.2 and CWM 6+, however, I cannot find solid information on how to unlock the bootloader for this unit. I would have liked to install the latest 4.4.2 from AT&T, but the device was rooted prior and AT&T will not honor the phone for the upgrade. At this point, I feel it would be easier to just install a custom ROM instead of trying to put the AT&T stock back into the unit.

Most of the info I see seems overly tricky and doubtful. I have downloaded FreeGee, but, in version 1.9.23 there isn't an option for unlock or disable security,(I have emailed the devs for the app). I also have gprorecovery.apk, but, I am deathly afraid to use it as I cannot find ANY material about it anywhere and I am worried to brick the one phone I absolutely love.

If someone has the knowledge, please share. Also, feel free to add in your experience and pitfalls with this device after manipulating the software. I am not 100% sold on CM, so if you want to suggest a great ROM...Feel free.

I appreciate the help and suggestions in advance.
[LG Optimus G Pro] stulzerl:
No unlocked bootloader for the gpro. Sorry dude.
[LG Optimus G Pro] som1special2:
"With freegee first backup efs, then install twrp or cwm."

And then reboot to recovery as normal to install the ROM? I have read so much information that states you have to do some special presses of the buttons to get recovery to load. What are you running on yours?
[LG Optimus G Pro] luisoman2000:
Once you install recovery press power + volume up (asuming you powered down or resetted your device of course) until the lg logo appears ( some white letters will appear on the top left corner, release power button when they do). That will take you to the recovery. I'm. Using a cwm/twrp combo. I flash everything i need with cwm, twrp i keep since this phone has a tendency of going into a recovery bootloop and only twrp can get you out of it. Always keep your flashing files on the internal storage, sometimes flashing from sd card wont work.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtaylor_94:
Hi,

So firstly my aux port on the phone was playing up so I bought the replacement part which included the speaker aswel as the new aux port. Took the old one out and put the new one in. The next day my phone rang so i answered it and i could hear the person on the other wnd but they couldnt hear me, when i opened up the voice recorder app there was no sound at all being recorded. I used a needle and checked there was no fluff in the mic which there wasnt but when I tries taking a video there was sound. Ive now found out there is a microphone for calls and voice recording and a separate one at the top for videos.

Is it best to replace the microphone on the main circuit board or would I be able to use the video microphone for calls?

Also when I plug in earphones with a built in mic that works fine for calls.

Any help will be appreciated!

P.s. I'm running CyanogenMod 10.2

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] dyandell:
Tammyjustin I would suggest you read the page Daniel linked for you after hitting "Thanks" on his post if you have not done so already. Once you have read that, you need to read everything you can find on here concerning your device and if you have a question, search and research. I know there are several entries that describe roms that have been tested for your device. Flashing roms is time consuming. You need to know everything you can about the rom before you flash. It sometimes sucks to have to read 50 or 60 pages of comments that have nothing to do with your rom/problem but you are not the only one doing it. Good luck and have fun.

heads up

just a fyi

i posted new links in my safestrap upgrade thread and updated the OP to help those that need it with rooting.

they contain Odin 3.10 flashable images of NC2 or NC5 along with all the apps you'll need to get going with root and safestrap without ever resetting your phone until you reset to Safestrap. By far the slickest and most simple way to upgrade. Upgrading with my method will keep your bootloaders at what they are now. Its also the easiest way to keep your Initial loading screen the official s4 (no broken lock screen when you turn on your phone) and KNOX as always will remain at 0x0. These Odin images also contain .pit and modem/hlos so literally all you need is the 1 file flashed thru odin for all to get going on custom roms.

check out CHAOS VZW v2.6 has 7 of the best themes&apps made including AOSP, Foxhound and Domination!

I was about to start the process of downgrading, when my towelrooted NC5 somehow became unrooted, I'm assuming that I did something that I wasn't supposed to to cause this. Would being unrooted be better to start the downgrade process? Or is this very bad that it unrooted without my knowledge.

Actually question for you. Did you flash any Roms. You may need to just flash SuperSU again. Or download from the play store.

Why downgrade? This process is no longer needed now that you can use Towelroot to root NC5.

My plan was to do as you just suggested and flash it back to MK2 with Odin. I did flash some ROMs at first incorrectly so I'm thinking that may have messed up towelroot.
