[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stunningkun:
Hi,

Dear All,

I bought a LS980 2 days ago used. It had Lam Hoang 7.0 KK rom installed,root and TWRP. I was messing with camera app and installed xdabbeb's mod through its app (3.xx one) after restart it went into boot loop. I tried to go to stock using LG flash tool and sprint tot/dll but it says that I have a D802(LDG802AT-00-V21r.OPEN-ESA-APR...). I can only go into download mode. My efs backup is on internal storage didn't copied it to PC :(. I would raelly appreciate if you guys could guide me to a early resolution.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stunningkun:
Currently I am downloading d802 tot and dll. Can i flash it? will this work?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stunningkun:
flashed d802 tot/dll(8974) phone boots touch/keyboard not functions. reboots within 20 secs..sigh..
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrJyrks:
I'm not sure if it was a good idea to flash other models tot on your ls980 -.-. Maybe try flashing the ls980 tot again? And isn't it possible you bought a d802?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stunningkun:
nope its written on the back LS980 and I have checked with IMEI as well it LS980.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
you may have fully bricked your device by doing this because the only to get it to think it's ls980 now is to edit build.prop and then flash ls980 tot
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stunningkun:
Thats what the plan is. It was bricked with build.prop of d802 to begin with. So at least it working (with a random touch response) I am able to enable developer mode and debugging and hoping to push LS980 build.prop to system and the flashing it with LS980.tot. If you could tell me how to use adb for this?I am new to this(learning)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
Well the main problem right now is that you need root in order to be able to install and app like adbinsecure(search on xda for it) to be able to adb push into system/ and then use an app like root browser to add the needed permissions, the other option still needs root and need to push the prop into sdcard/ and then use an app like root browser to place it in system/ and add the needed permissions

Sent from my Potato powered G2 D800
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stunningkun:
I was able to root it. then i pushed ls980 build.prop to /system/. I then restarted into download mode and tried to flash ls980zv7 tot. It now sees it as ls980 but giving error.

LAF partition changed. I think the previous rom changed it to 16GB.

I think I am gonna cry :'(
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
the laf partition is the partition on the phone that contains download mode in general; in other words it won't flash because phone has d802 laf partition you could try changing the partition for the ls980 one but that is kind of asking of a permanent brick
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stunningkun:
I think it should be same for all 16GB versions. Do sprint come in 16GB variant if yes then I need to find it. else I think its dead :(
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stunningkun:
solved. I then flashed ls980zv7 using custom 8974.dll which nuked it and it started booting into fastboot and unable to charge. I then had to copy partition files through fastboot. I then got download mode back. Still I wasn't able to flash zv7 as it complained about laf changed. I then thought for flashing an updating version (zva) thinking it will write its own partitions and may correct it. I used custom 8974.dll and ls980zva.tot and it worked. This guy boxorandyos been a great help in this thread

Sorry pls ignore this I accidently made a extra thread pls check the other one and pls help......
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] demkantor:
Hi,

Can you give some more details

Did you build from source?

Port it from another devices?

Simply unzip a ROM for your device, make changes and rezip?

When you flashed the ROM was it a status7 error?

You say you made changes in the updatet-script, what were the changes?

The more details you give the better answers you will get
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] androvista:
He did it porting the old way. It was the status 7 error

BTW coolster I m back only to help you
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] thecoolster:
Dude I took my base rom as the standard custom rom for xolo q700i- the x rom and I ported it with the galaxy Quattro stable cm... it had almost the same specifications........ I had updated the updated script of x rom by cm rom but then I used original updater script of x rom... This guide I took was from YouTube on porting and he was from XDA.....
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] demkantor:
So you took a ROM from a similar device, replaced some files, apks and libs, then changed some things in the updater-script and rezipped and signed?

Is this about right?

If so you will need to be a bit more specific about what you changed in order to help you fix your issue, again, the more specific the better your help otherwise I and others helping can only give the best guess on what to do
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] thecoolster:
Dude i didnt change anything i just updated it with the cm updater script
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] thecoolster:
It is mediatek so no fastboot or adb and hence cant provide logcat
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] thecoolster:
Yes i did the replacing of apk and lib and oder files....
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] thecoolster:
Dude the guide i saw told us to just take files from the port and put it into base ...... i had seen another guide and had replaced the meta inf file but then wen i flashed it said something about

It being a bad file so i replaced the new meta inf file with the original meta inf file but i dont know now what will happen shuld i flash it .......(u can ignore this) i also had a question dat when u rezip with winrar should the zip file be normal or best mode .........it asks .........when we archive it .....(u can ignore this)
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] thecoolster:
so dude yes it is the status 7 error regarding the build.prop ....... so i need help to edit my updater script so should i use the updater script of the base rom .........or do some major editing ...
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] demkantor:
Thanks for supplying more information, now I have a better idea of how to help.

You should use the update-binary for your device, not the one ported,

All editing of the updater-script will need to be done in UNIX format, not windows as EOL differs, if your using windows be sure to use notepad++ and set it up properly,

I use 7zip normally not winrar but it shouldn't matter, you need to have compression set to store,

It has been years since I have tried to make a ROM in this fashion but I don't think much would have changed, the point your at now is to get it to flash (not get the ROM to work) this means you need to fix the status 7 error, which will be done by fixing your updater-script

If you want, post a copy of the meta-inf folder for your device and the one you are porting from an I can help further
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] thecoolster:
Thanks so much.......... Ur thnx meter is getting one more thanks
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] thecoolster:
Dude should I replace the whole Meta in folder or only the updater script....
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] demkantor:
Take a meta-inf for your device and replace the updater-script from the other one and swap it. Then you'll more than likely need to edit it to flash on yours
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] thecoolster:
Sorry I didn't understand anything.... I just swapped the cm 11 meta inf file with the original meta inf file.....
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] demkantor:
Well you can't do this, you need to have the update-binary for your device specifically and you need to edit the updater-script to work with yours as well.

So keep meta-inf specific for your device, and only swap updater-scripts, then you need to edit this updater-script to match the partitions of yours as well as make sure there aren't any get_props that conflict.

I highly suggest reading up on updater-scripts so you understand the changes that need to be made
[Xolo Q700, Q700i] Vivek_Neel:
[MENTION=4334383]demkantor[/MENTION] has guided you very well.

U should take advantage of it.:)

I repeat once again.

get the update-binary from any other ROM specifically made for your device.

Then modify the existing updater-script.

Make sure Mount points are correct.

That's it.

USE NOTEPAD++ else surely if you would get status error.

Good luck

Confirmed: you can restore 4.2.2 base rom backups after you've Odin flashed the 4.4 kk update with the new bootloader...just an FYI as I've been able to successfully restore back and forth between 4.2 and 4.4 base roms

Mega
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] gooberdude:
Easier said than done... You fail to mention: Unless your app has bug fixes 4.4.2 will cause issues and not to do a full restore. Also you led us to believe you can restore to 4.2.2 or 4.2.1 from 4.4.2. Only the apps you can do so, unless they are OEM specific and are only made for 4.4.2.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] megalomanic14:
actually I didn't fail to mention anything...i did a full normal full wipe of 4.4.2 after I Odin flashed it, rooted and Odin flashed recovery then a normal full restore of 4.2.2 system apps kernel the whole deal.....even my custom kernel restored back fine dude just as I said with zero issues...and to be clear I never once mentioned 4.1 did I? You said 4.1 stop putting words in my mouth....if there had been issues I would've mentioned it...all my apps and root were in tact and those I greenified were still hibernating, even my Wanam them came back dude.....my 4.2.2 rom and apps restored flawlessly so I'd appreciate you not put words in my mouth again thanks

Mega

Dude your apps have nothing to do with anything...all apps that you had on 4.4 get wiped if you do a proper wipe then your 4.2 apps restore with the rest of the system and data apps partition if you backed them up so maybe if you knew what you were talking about you wouldn't be trying to call me out mistakenly
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Mattix724:
Whoa whoa whoa children please stop where you are right now. Let me clarify some things...

Yes, you can restore 4.2.2 using Odin to flash the stock tar file.

No, the bootloader WILL NOT be rolled back, once you have a Knox bootloader there is no going back unless you have the equipment and resources to basically JTAG your device to perform a NAND flash of the original bootloader to the device's eMMC controller. This will wipe your entire eMMC which is your internal storage so you will lose everything.

Sorry grandpa lol

Thanks I appreciate it but I'm moderately familiar... I have builds out for the note 3, note 12.2 pro, galaxy mega, tab 8.4 and (galaxy gear but only for myself and some friend) all currently...and have my personal other note 1, note 2, note 8, and note 10.1 2012 roms across their respective base builds that I still occasionally get out and build for....anyway i actually only did a simple restore of my stock 4.2.2 cwm backup just like every other time as noted above in my previous posts...a simple clean wipe, clear dalvik and cache, restore 4.2 with civz kernel just like normal after I Odin flashed the 4.4 stock rom, flashed recovery and rooted it and made a backup of kk then restored 4.2 backup and it restored perfectly ...i only tried it knowing I could Odin flash 4.4 again worst case scenario... and my note 8 collects dust anyway... so so after the successful restore I made the post for anyone who may be interestd cheers

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Imacatlover:
Just to confirm, downgrading to 4.2.2 via pc odin is still possible without any ill effects other than the knox flag being tripped permanently?

and this would be with the stock 4.2.2 rom package from sammobile, no editing, decompiling or any of the sorts???:confused::confused::laugh::eek::silly:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Mattix724:
You can definitely flash the stock 4.2.2 tar file using Odin 3.07 without any problems. I suggest wiping data and cache first.

You should also be able to flash any custom ROM using a custom recovery such as PhilZ CWM and perform a restoration of any backup without any problems other than Knox counter being tripped.

I've only used stock and the FlexNote 4.4.2 ROM from [MENTION=3986004]civato[/MENTION] since upgrading to KitKat but I think some users have experienced issues with charging when the 4.4.2 bootloader is installed in combination with a 4.2.x ROM.

The 4.2.x ROM still works but there may be a few glitches elsewhere.

Sure there's always gonna be oddities when mixing any systems...but I upgraded via odin to 4.4 and restored 4.2 the day I posted this comfirming downgrade is possible months ago and have stayed on my 4.2 firenote rom with 4.4 bootloader since without issue so sure with anything your mileage may vary depending in your device but that's always the case on any of the 12 devices I build roms for

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukair1983:
Hi

Is there a way to get a stock kernel somewhere, in the purpose of flashing it either with CWM or in Odin? Everywhere I look, the Stock Rom packages contain the kernel, but also contain system image and recovery. I need only the kernel from this to flash, is there any way to get the kernel from each of this packages, so that I can flash it alone?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samersh72:
open the stock firmware with 7zip and copy the boot image to desktop
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukair1983:
Thank you for taking the time.

So "boot.img" is kernel image?

If so, then once I extract the boot.img, how do I flash it using odin?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samersh72:
yes boot.img is the kernel.

you can use a special tool to make it a tar file like this

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
If you don't have a backup of your stock recovery on PC then you can download stock recovery from this thread

Extract the recovery to the folder where adb/fastboot is in, by default this will be in the platform-tools folder for the SDK kit.

Connect your device to the pc.

Hold shift and right click in window(tools folder) open command prompt - or open command prompt and change directory to location of fastboot/recovery.img (You should have done this before when you flash the custom recovery so you should know where the folder etc is).

Type: adb devices - check if device gets picked up, should show you your serial number for the device.

Type: adb reboot bootloader

Type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Type: fastboot reboot

Done.

Stock recovery will then be on device again, it'll reboot and once done you should be able to install OTA update. :good:
