Hate to beat a dead horse bro, but...they are not going to give a flip, this has already been tried time and time again by me, I have pointed out the various flaws to them they never seemed to care and I have been through like 5 of these phones so far.....the only way I can see possible to get into this thing is maybe through jtag or something of the sort so far I do not think anyone has tried anything like that on them. I was really an active participant in trying to break this thing wide open for quite some time to no avail. I don't usually give up on a challenge but unless I can revive a few of the ones I have it has become sort of a lost cause for me. It has taken so long to unlock these fully that many have moved on to other devices sadly myself included for now.

---------- Post added at 01:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 AM ----------

I have been trying and hoping for the Samsung Galaxy Ace Style to be unlocked as well but no luck with it either, it is another decent budget phone that has eluded me, so far I think I am one of the few that has even attempted to get it open I think that their are people with the right equipment and time/knowledge to do it but they just simply haven't had a desire to try...I really have learned alot through this site and trial and error though to the point where I am somewhat comfortable building my own custom roms all I can say is gain as much knowledge into unlocking bootloaders and mods that you can and perhaps you all could help the process along I learn something new daily....I just haven't been able to get it on these yet....perhaps when I actually have time to do so I will start attempts to see what I can find through jtag or something of that nature I think maybe given the proper fuse blown on these if they operate the same as some of the other devices I have tinkered with it should be possible. I am currently using the LG L90 D415 which is alot bigger and better overall if you have the $ they are great bang for the buck and have at least been unlocked and have custom roms already made....the process was a ton easier. So far the Straight Talk/Tracfone devices seem to be getting harder and harder to get in to.

" I am currently using the LG L90 D415 which is alot bigger and better overall..."

I've been reading that thread (friend of mine has that model), and have considered spending the $168 for this T-Mo, no contract phone. For $60/mo., they actually allowed tethering. As you stated, development is already being done on it (bootloader comes unlocked). Guess if I want the cheaper monthly, I could use ST SIM. Just wanted to develop my own model. Oh well...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxinburn:
Hey ibub actually with the D415 which is tmobile you have to backup then delete the download partition first to get into fastboot where you can then unlock the bootloader....fairly simple stuff though. Furthermore much less development going on for the tmobile version, you can do as I did as well and get the sim unlock codes for a couple of bucks then change providers which I have done as well....I use Cricket with it and they are bouncing off of ATT towers, which works great in my area. Their are a couple roms that sort of work for it but they are plagued by little problems here and there such as front camera not working correctly or at all and some have had gps not working and wifi....I have a working cm11 source on my github so far only thing I know to be wrong is the front camera i think and gps may still be off......I havent tinkered with it either in a little while to say for sure I really should finish it up and at least try to address those two issues, I have reverted mine to stock for now until I get all the kinks worked out on it, would love to have someone else working on it with me it is painstaking to go back and forth from stock backup to rom over and over while testing my tweaks to the build lol.

[MENTION=5345928]toxinburn[/MENTION]

Just to be clear, I haven't bought the phone yet. First line in my post is from your post (tapatalk lol). I wonder if they have patched towelroot already. Guess I could find a way to look at build date prior to buying. Or could attempt flashing SuperSU and binary zip from ext4 formatted external_SD. Anyway thanks for the reminders about SIM unlocking and laf zeroing. I have read about the problem with camera. I think proprietary driver sources (as stated by LadyVengance).

Maybe:

Get proprietaries

By chance, have you tried simply signing a recovery with open bump? I've been deeply researching by comparing G3 boot and recovery images to ours and the signature header is exactly the same. Since the G3 came out a month before the fuel I would think the open bump way of signing custom recoveries and boot images would work just fine. I just need a built custom recovery to test....Obviously it would be a pain to boot into recovery once installed, but it would be a great start!

If nothing, I will fire up the other computer and build CWM in a virtual machine and see what happens.

I know open bump is in the G2 forum, as it works for both G2, G3, and supposedly all LG devices that are newer, I would assume since the original Bump! did....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daishi4u:
Just to let everyone know, I have been successful at creating a both twrp and cwm for this device. I also created a custom boot image that allows you to boot into recovery by tapping volume up while booting and it also has built in init.d support. I'm going to thoroughly test everything and have others test it then she will be all yours guys! ?

Probably a week or so according to his post. I want to know how he did it :p . He was talking about compiling and signing recovery then pow he had something.

---------- Post added at 02:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 AM ----------

My guess he compiled the recovery signed it and compiled a boot img. Then using ADB flashed it all over. I'm a complete novice now my prime was back in the 8bit days but would love to learn a trick or two.

I just tried this openrecovery- twrp- 2.8.3.0-l34c.img (9.8mb). Released 12-23-2014. Yeah, it works. They beat your release, but so what? We still have your CWM and kernel which will help us immensely. I wonder if you forced their hand, or just coincidental. Anyway, I for one really appreciate your efforts. Keep up the good work brother. ;)

---------- Post added at 11:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 PM ----------

I have a feeling that their scripts are messed up because they work one way but not the other. And also I think they have to update the kernel that they are using. I found a workaround for 1 problem making a backup or doing something that takes a long time is you have to keep tapping the screen to keep the device awake therefore if you don't the screen will go black and won't come back.

Where to find stock L34CV10c firmware?

So where are you getting the stock firmware? I can see online that the latest release is revision 05_7 dated 2014-10-07, but I've yet to find a link. I've had a root mod gone bad that I can't restore with Titanium Backup. I'd just like to revert to stock ROM the same way I set the recovery partition to TeamWin TWRP 2.8 and boot partition to cybojenix's bumped boot image. Does anyone have a stock system.img?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vwnut13:
As the above post mentioned, does anyone have a way to restore this phone?

I have one that has been in a bootloop for the past several months. I turned it back on today and was able to get access with ADB!

It appears that I do not have root access via ADB. It was definitely rooted before the bootloop. Any ideas on why it's not working?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daishi4u:
You tried accessing root by typing su right? I do have a stock rooted backup with the sdcard fix, but won't be able to upload that till later and it's huge at like 1GB, but I'll zip it first. It'll take a while as I have slow internet. If you can access adb long enough then type reboot recovery and let it reboot to the black screen. Then if you can get root access then you can flash my twrp and restore.. Once I upload that for you anyways...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vwnut13:
Well, I figured out my issue.

When I try to access SU via ADB, SuperSU would normally prompt me to grant access. With the device stuck on the LG Logo, that obviously isn't going to happen.

Unfortunately, I have SuperSU installed as a system app, so I can't uninstall it. Really sucks that this is my new roadblock. I guess I need to allow ADB root access on all my devices from now on, just in case...

I get this error when trying to adb install an APK. I think she's toast.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibub:
Yeah, I was going to mention the SU prompt, but also the rsa prompt. With daishi4u's kernel, you would automatically be connected.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daishi4u:
I believe your phone can still be fixed. I have a stock rooted twrp backup uploaded and will post the link later when I have time. When you connect to adb did you give the command:

reboot recovery

You should then reboot to either a black screen or with a robot tipped on its back. Now try the su command and see if you can get root. If so then you will be able to flash twrp then restore my backup that I will give you later...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daishi4u:
Here is the link for a stock rooted system twrp backup with the sdcard fix: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByNiE7lUnRZsSmF5eGtXM0xIeEU/view?usp=sharing

After you download it then unzip it and leave it in the stockrooted folder. Then copy the whole folder onto your sdcard in the TWRP folder and inside of the folder that will be in there e.g TWRP/LGL34caaabb. If you don't have this folder then make a backup in TWRP of something small like the boot image then you will have the folder. Once you get it in the folder then boot into TWRP and restore.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daishi4u:
To anyone who hasn't been keeping up at Androidarea51.com, I have twrp 2.8.3.0 compiled with the added option of backing up the internal sdcard. It is fully functional except the clock still. Teamwin compiled theirs for the wrong processor and still haven't fixed it so I will be uploading mine this week after testing is complete ? haven't found anything wrong except the clock so I was thinking even within the next couple days ?

The newer version has mtp support as well, meaning you can hook it up to the computer while in recovery and simply copy and paste stuff into your SD folders. There's a lot of other great features as well. Oh, and you can also restore a backup made with my 2.8 version if anyone was wondering...

EDIT: Almost forgot to mention I also have cwm 6.0.5.1 compiled and ready to go. I will be uploading that as well at the same time as twrp or maybe sooner. Maybe one of these days I'll take a shot at compiling PhilZ as well...

Boot loop

Hey all. So I have an LG L34C stuck in a boot loop and it somehow made it back into the OS. I installed the boot_bumped image and twrp_fuel_2.8.4.0 image.

If you are running kitkat, you don't have TOTAL access. Files created by a particular app are not permitted to be accessible by other apps. Sdfix fixes these permissions. You will see a noticeable difference, as you try to read/write to these directories, before/after sdfix.

A little late back to post, this phone has fallen to the background, but every few months I think about it.

Just tried the ADB Reboot Recovery and got to the 'No Command' screen. However, I can't get ADB to work when in the 'No Command' Screen.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibub:
[MENTION=5878139]vwnut13[/MENTION]

If you can adb reboot recovery (which I believe shows that you have root while in the black screen), then you should also be able to use the dd command (while in black screen) to write daishi4u's twrp image:

http://www.androidarea51.com/index.php?topic=3745.0

from external_SD to recovery. For example:

adb shell

dd if=/storage/external_SD/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

exit

adb reboot recovery

In this example, the twrp image must first be renamed to recovery.img, and must be placed in the root of your external sd (not inside some folder). After writing to, and rebooting into twrp recovery, you can follow daishi4u's instructions (search this thread) to restore the twrp system backup that he provided. And I also recommend installing his modified bumped kernel (life saver).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vwnut13:
