First you must flash a version compatible with your device or in this version use the same method with HEX-dex editor to Unblock your bootloader.

version succesfully rooted with Kingo Root.

Use restore update errors with LG support tool twice to ensure removal of root, do your update and reenter with Kingoroot.

I'm looking to downgrade my phone from lollipop back to kitkat. I have a few questions about the roms on this page.

1. Must i flash with a rom for my country or can i use any of them?

2. Can someone please explain the file description system (what do these codes mean)

example : 136 NEU/NEU/NORTHERN EUROPE	V10g	LGD620R	477

3. There are no EUROPE OPEN rom's on this page like the one posted in the beginning of this thread. (not so much a question, more a comment).

Thanks.
[LG G2 Mini] Vagelis1608:
1. You can use any that matches your device branch (more on this later).

2. Not idea for the first and last numbers (136 - 477).

Then it's: "Carrier name"/"Full Carrier name"/"Country" . If the ROM is open then all three of them are the country.

Then it's the ROM version. Anything starting with "v10" is based on KitKat (4.4.2), while "v20" is Lollipop (5.0.2).

Then it's the device variant. Make sure this matches your device!

3. The ones from Northen Europe (NEU) are open. (Basically Europe Open ;) )
[LG G2 Mini] fakehoo:
The first number is just the index. All rom's on the page are numbered from 1 onward. I'm GUESSING the last number is the number of downloads.

What does the letter after "V10" stand for. Is that the revision of Kitkat? And if it is then should i get the rom with the latest revision (the letter furthest in the alphabet)?
[LG G2 Mini] Vagelis1608:
All v10 are based on 4.4.2

Each "subupdate" (eg from v10g to v10j) usually contains bug fixes and security patches.

You should the latest (the one one further down the alphabet). But it's your choice.
[LG G2 Mini] fakehoo:
Is it possible to use auto update to update just to the latest kitkat version and not up to lollipop? If not auto update is there some other method?

Thanks.
[LG G2 Mini] Vagelis1608:
No. Autoupdate will download the latest. Usually Lollipop.

Download the version you want from that site and flash it with LG Flash Tool.

Hey I have a similar problem. It could be related to the latest update of Google Play Services, in case you are using a CM rom.

As far as I know, CM have fixed/patched this bug.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

#01:

Q: After capture shortcut, when I place the shortcut in the Favorites section, the shortcut works. However, when I place the same shortcut in the Home Screen, it says "Application not installed". Why is that?

A: Some shortcuts can be launched without root and some shortcuts require root to be launched. In this case, the shortcut is required root to launch. That's why it can be launched in the Favorites list, but cannot be launched in the Home Screen, because a shortcut on the Home Screen can only be launched without root.

Update v1.1.0:

- Added 'Launch Method 0' for secret codes. This method allows you to launch secret code with ROOT permission. This way you can launch almost ALL secret codes available for your device, that may have been prohibited due to security policy on some devices (e.g. Samsung).

- Changed the default setting for 'Launch Method 0 and 1' to 'Use per-code scheme', that allows you to launch non-standard secret code on some devices (e.g. Samsung). You can change it in the Settings menu.

Hello,

Shortcut Master has all shortcuts in the Missing Shortcuts app and more... You just need to find the appropriate shortcuts and add them to the list, while the shortcuts in the Missing Shortcuts are fixed and you cannot change them. With Shortcut Master, you can even add shortcuts to the home screen.

To find all shortcuts that have been previously in the Missing Shortcuts app, please follow the instruction here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53799901

I can create a shortcut list and export to the file for you so that you can import it to your app, but some shortcuts may not work on your device, because the shortcut link are vary from the version to version of Android OS. So you'd better find by yourself by following the instruction in the given link above.

If you need more help, please let me know.

Regarding secret code launching, it is due to Samsung's security policy. As I have stated in the app's description: "Please be noted that not all codes work with all methods. Some codes work with two or three methods, some codes work with only one method (Launch method 0, which requires root permission). This is due to device's security policy, not the app's issue."

That means on the devices from other brand (e.g. HTC, Nexus...) you can launch the secret code using 'Launch 0', 'Launch 1' or 'Launch 2'. But on Samsung devices, you can only launch the secret code using Launch 0 (which requires ROOT).

Please note that on Samsung device, only some codes work with the dialer (e.g *#0*#, *#0011# or *#0228*...), some other codes don't work with the dialer (e.g *#7465625 or *#02288#...). But if you use 'Launch 0', you can still launch these codes.

For the *#0*# code, you have 2 ways to launch it (and also to create a shortcut):

1- Tap on '0*' and select 'Launch 0' button.

2- OR tap on '0*', select 'Explore' button, select 'HwModuleTest' to launch.

Both 2 ways need ROOT to work on the Samsung devices.

Hello,

Here is some descriptions about app's permission:

- Retrieve running apps: for 'Capture Shortcut' function.

- Modify or delete the contents of your USB storage: for 'Export/Import' function.

- Install shortcuts: for creating shortcuts on the Home screen.

- Full network access: for ads display.

Thank you for using my app.
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
Good question :)

In fact Launch Method 0 and Method 1 are the same methods, they are direct method to launch the secret codes. The difference is Method 0 requires ROOT, while Method 1 does not require. These are also the way the Dialer launch the secret codes.

Launch Method 2 (or Method 3) is indirect method. That means this method simulates the action as the user dials on the dial-pad. When user dials the code on the dial-pad, the Dialer will launch the code using Method 0 or 1, as I've mentioned above.

Due to Samsung policy, users cannot launch the secret code using Method 1. They have to launch the secret code using Method 0 (ROOT required).

Samsung Dialer can recognizes the code dialed by user manually, and the code dialed programmatically. That's why the Method 3 doesn't work on Samsung devices, while you can manually dial *#0*#.

Please note that some codes do not work by dialing manually, e.g. *#02288#. But you can launch this code with Method 0.

On the devices from other manufacturer (e.g. HTC, Nexus...) you still can use Method 0, 1 and 2 to launch the secret codes, however.

Hello,

Sorry to hear about that. I have total of 414 apps (system apps + user apps) and it works without problem.

Can you test by follow some steps:

1- Select Menu > "Secret Code Explorer" to see if it crashes?

2- Select Menu > "Search..." to see if it crashes?

3- If (1) or (2) does not crash, in that menu, select "User apps" or "System apps" (instead of "All apps"), and then get back to "App Explorer" to see if it crashed?

4- Did you try the Lite version before purchase? And does it have the same problem?

5- Try to uninstall and install again to see if it works?

Well, I see. You can access the codes but you cannot create a shortcut, right?

As I have stated in the app's description: "Be noted that you can not create shortcut on the home screen for the secret code".

However you still can create a shortcut for the secret codes in the favorite list (i.e. the in the main UI of this app).

That way you can access the code in 2 clicks.

If that does not answer your question, please let me know.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
Oh I see, you are trying to explore inside the app that contains these secret codes.

For some reason (security reason due to Samsung policy, I think), you cannot access directly to the shortcut inside the "Service mode RIL" app. But you can do the same thing with other apps.

For "Service mode RIL" app, you can only access it via secret codes (0011, 2263...)

That is due to Samsung security policy.
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
You can still create a shortcuts for secret codes (e.g 0011, 2263...) in the favorite list.

Hi vndnguyen. Thank you so much for creating this very useful application. So far, this is the only working application that I've tested on my Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F) running on Android Lollipop (Ambasadii's G900FXXU1BNL9 ROM). I immediately purchased your app via Google Play but I was disappointed that the function to create a homescreen shortcut does not work. It says "Sorry, homescreen shortcut for secret code is not available". I already tried uninstalling the lite version and rebooting my phone but I still could not create a homescreen shortcut for 2263 code. Honestly, this is the main reason why I purchased the paid version of the app (I just need the toggle to set to LTE-only mode, which was disabled in Android Lollipop). Hopefully you can help me fix it or update the app in the future so that I can use such feature.
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
Hi, sorry to hear about your issue.

In the lite version, when you select to add a shortcut to the home screen, if a shortcut was an activity, the app says "This feature is available in the full edition". And if a shortcut was a secret code, the app says "Sorry, homescreen shortcut for secret code is not available". So it does clearly state the difference between a shortcut to an activity and a shortcut to a secret code.

For now it is not able to create a shortcut for secret code. However I will do more study on that and will add this ability if possible.

Thank you

[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
Hi,

I guess your phone is Samsung Galaxy, and the shortcuts you have mentioned are required ROOT to be launched. Isn't it?

Because the shortcut that is required root to be launched works fine on many devices when it has been added to the home screen, except for Samsung Galaxy devices.

The story is as below:

1- If the device is not Samsung Galaxy: almost all shortcuts can be launched without root permission.

2- If the device is Samsung Galaxy: some shortcuts can be launched without root permission, while other shortcuts can only be launched with root permission.

2.1. If the shortcut can be launched without root permission, it can be added to the home screen without any problem.

2.2. If the shortcut can only be launched with root permission, it can be added to the home screen BUT cannot be launched from the home screen.

It is due to Samsung security policy, and currently there is no workaround yet.

I will do more study to find a workaround if it's possible.
