[Google Chromecast] cowwoc:
Slashdot contains a story about the "Rickmote", a new approach for "hijacking" Chromecast devices.

Is this interesting from a rooting perspective? (Doubtful but I figured I'd ask)
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Discussed briefly on this other thread

Yes and No. Yes because buffer overruns are great for exploits. No because now that it has been publicized, Google will be forced to roll out a fix. IMO it's like the vulnerable bootloader. Once it became public, it caught the attention of the Hollywood legal teams who said "OMG! Root = piracy!! Google, you MUST fix this or we will pull your access to content and your stick will be useless!"

Granted, now that screen casting is available on Chromecast, even if there were no content for its apps, at least you could screen cast, but still... a Chromecast with no content to cast is a $35 paperweight, or HDMI port dust cover.
[Google Chromecast] rekids:
LMAO HDMI port dust cover, that was good

hello to all member of a forum you would bricker his OnePlus recovery solution?

the phone will not turn.

Another question how to backup the efs folder? thank you to all
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
We'll need a bit more information. What exactly happened (read: what did you do) before it stopped responding?

General approach

a) press power button for 30 seconds straight

b) plug it into wall charger and wait ~30min

c) unplug and press power button for 30 seconds again

d) press vol-down, keep it pressed, and press power. It should enter fastboot mode

If you managed (d) successfully your phone can be fixed.

I am assuming you are coming from Samsung. It does not seem as if the OPO has anything resembling an EFS folder so no need to back it up.

At least that seemed to be the general consensus when I asked a similar question a while back on their forum.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buster99:
opo does have an efs partition.

also stock cm11s has a quick boot feature. let the phone run empty. then charge it for a cpl of hours. then boot it up and try to either enter fastboot or recovery and check if those partitions still are bootable. if not it seems the partitiontables are busted. if you can not get to either its rma time

cheers

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScarletDroid:
Hi there,

I recently rooted my Rogers LG G2 d803 and everything has been working fine except the camera. Whenever I open it (including other camera apps), it just says "Cannot connect to camera" giving me no choice by to quit it. I have googled it, but only found threads regarding different phones, so I don't want to take any actions without knowing if it will work for my phone.

Can someone please give me a suggestion on how to fix this problem? I understand I should flash a kernel, based on other threads, but I don't know which one and how to go about doing it safely.

Thank you!

Oh, and it's running 4.4.2 JB and Kernel is 3.4.0.
[Verizon LG G2] wadamean:
Hey everyone I need help to get my Verizon lg g2 connected to tmobile. What rom or what do I have to do for it to be able to work. I am right now on kk 24a using the g3 cloudy rom and dorimanx kernel.
[Verizon LG G2] wadamean:
Because when the sim card from tmobile was inserted and rebooted phone but no signal or data would work and or show in the phone.
[Verizon LG G2] juanzr1:
Change to global mode in network settings
[Verizon LG G2] wadamean:
That's really all needed to do? I have to select that before inserting the sim card I believe so because I was on lte cdma mode and inserted tmobile sim and the mobile networks was all locked out and no signal
[Verizon LG G2] subnoize soulja:
Did u add tmobiles apn settings??
[Verizon LG G2] lojak29:
Same issue No lte No hspa no data only,calls

This is bizarre to me,as anyone else

All the YouTube videos claims talk about getting lte or any data at all is hopeless at this point

My vzw g2 obviously unlocked, I've set every Tmobile apn possible none work not even in global,gsm umts mode. ..

I already near bricked phone tying to use tmobile Rom and the vs980 patch zip,cause people claimed tmobile Roms work. ..so I flashed a rom,then the patch zip and it booted to a stuck fastboot mode.

I had to fix that with adb commands flashing laf.img but when people were using the tmobile roms that was all over 4.2.2 based not 4.4.2kk

What's the trick to use tmobile Rom on a verizon g2 that's already 4.4.2kk based

Or,at the very least enable,the lte or Any data at alll :eek:
[Verizon LG G2] dtx.boy:
I was able to get 4g hspa+ on stock 4.4.2 unrooted, just set network mode to global and then create/save a new apn. Right now im running CloudyG3 1.2 and 4g lte works, the only issue than im having is that when i connect my phone to WIFI signal goes in and out. Also after a reboot i have no data but making a call fix it. Im gonna try ParanoidAndroid and ill see how it goes.
[Verizon LG G2] wadamean:
And whats weird is how the cloudy roms are gsm based
[Verizon LG G2] dtx.boy:
I can confirm that that CloudyStock 2.2 and CloudyG3 1.2 work on the G2 VS980 with a Tmobile Simcard, everythings working so far mms,calls,4g lte,wifi, wifi thether..

I suggest a clean flash and wipe partitions twice(except internal storage).. if it worked for me it should work for everybody.
[Verizon LG G2] ahaninil:
Will cloudyG3 or PA can let vs980 work on both 4G lte on Verizon and tmobile? I want to switch to tmo from vzw in future, but want to try cloudyG3 rom now.

Thank you.
[Verizon LG G2] KJW979:
I have both Verizon and T-Mobile, using Cloudy G3 rom and get 4g lte on my phone from both.

I tried to replace the bluetooth files with the original ones but that did'nt help.

Plz help me!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungGuyCasey:
The only thing I can think to do is just restore your device to it's original factory settings/ROM as it will restore all the system files and hopefully restore your ability to use Bluetooth, then try rooting you device by using the one click root from towelroot.com, which hasn't caused me any problems what so ever.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidsamsung333:
Do i n just need to do factory reset or flash original rom?

And towleroot did'nt work for me?. Is' nt there a way where all my data does' nt get lost?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungGuyCasey:
I would do both, first do a factory restore then flash the stock ROM and hopefully it will fix the problem. Towleroot worked for me, but I had to access the site and download the. apk file using my phone and to answer you last question when you flash a custom ROM all your data is erased, so you should backup your information before you, flash a ROM, or do a Factory restore it will make things easier.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidsamsung333:

Hey guys,

I just got rid of my note 3 for the s5 due to mainly the size and I'm noticing I'm having a horrible experience in calls. During calls the other person will go in and out, volume up and down, and some crackling. This happens when I dial out or receive calls. I'm rooted and have the new Alliance room on the device. Are there any other modems I might be able to try to fix this issue? Never had a problem talking to these same people on my note 3.

Or any thoughts on how to fix my issue?

Thanks,

Did you have the same problem on stock?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BadKarma81:
I had a lot of strange issues when I first got my s5. I had the camera ui get stuck upside down, random WiFi and 4G disconnects, issues with copying media to internal and extsdcard, lock screen/wake freezes... All sorts of problems. I ALMOST returned the phone. Instead I used Odin along with the ap and pit files to reflash the ROM. Haven't had any issues on stock or with safestrap and custom TW Roms since then. I'm also currently running alliance 1.1 and have had any issues with call quality or volume. I would try using Odin like I suggested, testing on stock, if there are still problems present then returning/swapping the phone if possible.

Sorry I couldn't be much more helpful than that. Good luck :)

[LG Optimus 4X HD] RIPphone:
Evening. As I was trying to flash a ROM into my p880 i got a status 7 error which means device id == p880 is false, and searching on the forums lead me to something , deleting the 1st line of code drom update script wich was causing that problem.

Afterwards tried to flash again and the ROM start to flash but as it was trying to extract system it got status 7 again. The phone booted and I keep getting morning call is empty on LG logo.

I can't access Recovery and I tried to use LG Flash tool aswell but seems that my computer installs my device as "LGE Mobile Composite USB Device" with a yellow warning sign. Sometimes when I try to connect the phone with Recovery on the PC it just gets a white screen and keeps vibrating. Any idea how to fix ? I can try to provide more details if needed

[Sprint LG G2] bigpappa:
Figured someone should start a thread now that its out. I had this update waiting for me this morning when I woke up. Had to replace some modified system files and then took the update. Lost root of course.

Points of note on ZVD:

Do not accept an OTA update with custom recovery or rom installed. If you have modified system files the stock files must be put back. Failure to consider this will lead you to problems you dont need. You can always .tot your device if necessary before taking the OTA, or wait (and be patient) for Devs to develop their roms to support zvd.

It does not include wifi calling.

ART Runtime is now available as an option in the Developer Menu.

It enables Knock Code.

You can reroot with ioroot 25 after update.

There were other fixes listed on Android central including:

A Google Patch

Improvements for group messaging

HD Voice Icon

Updated Email Signature

I also noticed that Auto Brightness is not switching brightness up and down randomly all over the place and stays pretty well fixed but low intensity even at 100% with auto brightness enabled. Also of note is my battery draining really fast today after I updated and several restarts. Android system seemed to be running away over 28% battery usage but it seems to have settled down. Im gonna recalibrate my battery just be sure anyways. I always do after updates.

[Sprint LG G2] bigpappa:
I read this along time ago so hopefully Im retelling it correct. Here's what I do:

Let the phone batt run down and phone shut off completely.

Plug it in and leave the phone off till it charges to 100%.

Turn it on use phone as normal thru the day. Try not to power cycle the phone at all.

Let the batt run down again and phone shut off.

Again plug it in while off and charge to 100%.

Turn on phone with it still plugged in and when the LG screen comes up unplug it.

Your batt is now calibrated.

[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
Well if you dont mind having to reset, you can force the update like I did, by clearing Google Services Framework cache and data and stopping it. Then check for updates, it might not work the first time but in a few tries it will work. Basically everytime you do this servers assign you a new token/id for your phone. Updates are based on tokens so basically like 1% of phones on day day 1, 5% on day two etc. So each time you clear and stop the framework you get a new token and might get lucky by getting one for that day's quota.

However by do doing this it might break sync for some apps so you better reset after updating.

[Sprint LG G2] tabp0le:
make sure you have no frozen or removed apps from system. if you have made modifications other than root, you have to use a .tot file to flash back to stock. before updating, the recovery checks the integrity of the system. it sounds like it failed because you either froze or removed activation.apk.

ok let me be a bit clear,im from mexico,so this lg g2 its working for telcel here,i make a change for one lg nexus 5 to this phone,and it was rooted and with that room,i found that file activation.apk with root browse just was with another extension it was "activation.apk.bak" so i delete the ".abk" do you think it will enought to update with adb? and thanks for your answer

ioroot25 works for sure. Try disabling and re-enabling developer options. Make sure to sideload over adb once it boots into recovery.
