Is there anyone out their?

That can tell all , what this download is. Given that it doesn't look like anyone has an original update.app(?), maybe someone could upload at least a dd copy of /cust.

However , if anyone has an original (B122/123) I would like to see them, and extract the .img files for anyone.

Any news, ?

Does the g535 torch app work?

It's a pity we can't isolate either g535 or Sony camera libs and code, haven't tried g6 'cos of this.

On another note LG seems to have the same Sony cam, will look at Sony later.

If you need the g535 app let me know - or anything from it and I'll upload.

BTW was yours Kestrel!? See above posts to lend a hand.

Thanks in advance,

Simon

Forgot to ask, was your Kestrel unblocked and rooted?

If yes, does it still boot in fastboot?

Maybe there's a quicker solution.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tooplanx:
Hiya,

Sorry, been meaning to get on here to update what's happening:

Long story short: phone is fixed and working!

I went in to the android recovery and tried to apply the update.zip from post #77 but it wouldn't work, it gave an error along the lines of "cannot open zip".

But then, when exiting the android recovery, bizarrely the phone rebooted into TWRP recovery which I had previously unsuccessfully tried to install. I have never managed to boot into TWRP before so I've no idea why it did it this time.

I tried installing the update.zip in TWRP but it failed still, then I tried to install the orangegova firmware but failed too. Eventually I managed to copy across my backed up build.prop successfully using the TWRP file manager (adb failed to work) and my phone booted successfully!

If I can get into TWRP again I could make a backup img of the firmware and upload it. I don't know if this could be used by other people or not..?

Thanks for your help anayway Simon, perhaps you broke the curse on the phone! To answer your questions: the phone was bootloader unlocked and rooted, though I'm not 100% whether debugging was enabled.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hillbillie:
Hey , way to go bro!

BTW build.prop hwtheme=2, kills xposed, BUT. You need the original app_process,

the trick is in pwr on, press any key, wait for vibrate, press again, shucks , you forgot to RE-READ the xposed "my phone is bricked, what do I do".

LOL , RTFM!

So are u now a g6? So no camera, or g535 with twrp?

Dont think you can create .IMG files from twrp, maybe Ricky's kitchen(see XDA),

good fun tho, nice to see the generous support found here sic. .

I guess I'll move on to the g6 camera stuff.

Pls confirm your :

Android version

Emui version

Kernel version

And build number.

( screenshot " settings,about phone") for histerical purposes!

It might save someones a*s#

And........if your still:.

G535 kestrel/Gova....

xposed 2.6.1

hwtheme=0

GravityBox 3.6.0

Wifikeyview 1.0.6 work fine.

I find that other modules have to be present but not enabled, the above two, work no brick.

Do check the huawei xposed thread just in case!

To summarize: nobody has a Kestrel update.app(or bought a new phone), and or don't have any problems.!

Hey guys.

I upgraded my phone a while ago and decided to get my kestrel back out. I've tried the camera apps which someone posted a link to but.still no luck. I think the torch app has something to do with the camera not working, possibly flash related.

I don't suppose anyone knows of any other roms which are compatible with the g535-l11? I currently have the g6 rom installed.

It does not work since evozi emulated T-Mobile devices to download apk. The Chrome extension does not work either since I don't have a Google TV devices to download from Google Play Store.

Prior to installing the google tv apps, I had pretty much compatability with all apps from the play store, after using the app "Market Helper" to have my Fire tv recognized as a Nexus 7.

After installing the google tv apps, my play store seems to have changed, featuring apps "for tv" and there are less apps compatible with the Fire TV (masquerading as a nexus 7).

Just would appreciated anybody's input on this issue.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topdawg7793:
Use the HP Touchpad Toolbox. Reset the entire Touchpad (remove webOS if you don't use it; you'll get some space back too). Install the latest nightly based on the 3.0.8 branch (3.4 branch has slightly more power consumption from personal experience). Then reflash the A6 firmware. Battery life has been top-notch for me after doing all this. Now it's a full-blown Android tablet, no more webOS + excellent battery life. ~5 hours screen on time at half-brightness and wifi always on.

[G3 Themes and Apps] pispuso:
Maybe is not the thread to ask, but seeing that you have XPOSED working already, I wanted to know, how most of usual XPOSED mods are working for you? GravityBox and Tinted Statusbard for example, how are they working on your G3? I'm really used to them on my Nexus 5 and since I will probably get a G3 when an Internarional version is released in US I'm really interested in your answers!

Thanks!
[G3 Themes and Apps] snowsire:
gravitybox is working excellently , all my mods i used on the htc one m7 are running without issues. I cant say i ever used " Tinted Statusbard " before, but xposed misc modules / downloads searches works as you would expect, run the root method above, install xposed, and enjoy.

the one caveat i guess i should mention is that no custom recovery / backup has been run. So, install at your own risk,
[G3 Themes and Apps] pispuso:
Great! Thanks for answering!

I don't have a G3 yet so I guess by the time I get one there will be a custom recovery that works.

[G3 Themes and Apps] krilok:
Be very careful... I tried changing the font using an app from the playstore, and when the phone rebooted I got stuck in the LG logo screen. I thought a simple factory reset would solve it, but even though I tried several times, it wouldn't get past the logo screen at all. I finally had no other option but to flash the stock Europe KDZ file to get things working again, so if my advice is of any use, till we don't have a working recovery, don't fiddle with system files too much... ;)
[G3 Themes and Apps] Seifer1975:
Plugging into PC suite allows me to upgrade the firmware, even though I am rooted. I didn't have to return it to stock. Of course the update removed the root so I have to root it again using towelroot after that.

The next day, I downloaded PC Suite and plugged in my phone, it says there's a new software update, so I clicked yes to update. After the update, root was not there anymore so I have to re-root it using towelroot again.

Correct; not working on my Sprint G3 either.
[G3 Themes and Apps] Koroz:
Sprint Users: Device not supported doesn't mean it doesn't work. It means we need to find the right mod strings for towelroot. But we will need to basically do it as a community if we are going to try and guess force our way to the right sets considering there are so many damn possibilities. I stopped trying after about 30 combinations. I really would like to have root, but I don't need it bad enough on this phone to sit down for the next week and work out different combinations without actually knowing what its doing.

basically Ive gone through using the samsung limit offset of 7380, plus a few other offsets near samsungs value that were still divisible by 4 while using all the other possible variances of method, align. I didn't change the hit_iov, so I might try that in a bit. I started to keep a list of all the ones Ive tried, but I gave that up way before I gave up trying different combo's.

[G3 Themes and Apps] Koroz:
Hi Iceman,

Basically follow the instructions here: https://towelroot.com/modstrings.html. If you notice on the page, he gives the range for each sub heading that we can change, and how to change it. Basically you need to tap Welcome to Towelroot 3 times and then a list will show up:

He also gives the min and max value for each as denoted by the (#-#) as in example: method(0-3). I have tried all the possible Method, and Align changes that are possible, and none of them work. I started to work on the closest possible limit_offsets to the "New Samsung" as possible but have had no luck. I have a feeling sprint users are SOL, but I will keep trying since really it doesn't seem to "break" anything when it doesn't work that I can tell.

Doesnt work on Sprint because our kernel build date is too new.

Screenshot from my Sprint LG G3, kernel build date of June 19. The Towelroot tool only works on kernels older than June 3.
[G3 Themes and Apps] JCJ77:
Does that build date apply to all Sprint models?
[G3 Themes and Apps] wolfhelm:
I'm not sure, I just got my phone like most others, so I imagine it'll be pretty standard. The only people that may have an older build might be those who won the contest where Sprint gave away a couple of LG G3s a few weeks ago, but those might have even received a drop by now to bring them up to the same version as the rest. The app I used to determine it is called MobileUncle MTK Tools, anyone can check their build date.
[G3 Themes and Apps] Koroz:
That is not at all what Geohot or the Towelroot site says

No where does it say any device kernel dated AFTER June 3 won't work. He is just saying that every kernel before June 3 should work, and after June 3 its "iffy". Until they change the branch kernel it will be up to each provider to patch their kernels respectively and we aren't 100% sure they have done that until they say they have or someone proves it yes? I guess what I am saying is, until the developer comes out and says it won't support devices after a certain kernel version, use mod strings until you exhaust all options.
[G3 Themes and Apps] Z51:
Worked flawlessly for me.
[G3 Themes and Apps] wolfhelm:
Fair enough. I read it as possibly there was a known patch applied to the kernel after that point. Personally I tried about 40 or 50 modstrings anyways before I found the build date of the Sprint kernel, but be that as it may.
[G3 Themes and Apps] zgroten:
Yes, all Sprint G3s shipped with the newer firmware. We will get root soon buddy, have no fear.
[G3 Themes and Apps] Gravediggaz:
I have 400k I used towelroot without any problems, I have just unrooted my phone to get the update and when I go to root again with towelroot I get the message "This phone is not currently supported" anybody else having this problem?
[G3 Themes and Apps] Koroz:
so that means one of two things, A they patched it, or B they moved something that altered the blocks it was using to root. Basically first rule of having a rooted phone, don't take OTA unless you are prepared to lose root for good. You can however, still get lucky with mod strings and finding another block/method for towelroot to exploit. I have a feeling though you got patched out.

For examples on how to use mod strings:
