Ok i have tried and put another sim in my fone and it worked straight away with out having to unlock or do any thing. Is there any benefit for me to still downgrade to the different imate rom?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
If it's already unlocked there will be not much benefit for you... only SuperCID if you plan to switch between different roms, but wait until the next version of the unlocker which will keep SuperCID after rom upgrades (current version 1 doesn't).

So: no need for you to do much... you're on the latest radio and your device is unlocked :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sir_italia:
I know it is so good. I can't believe that i have latest rom and it is not even unlocked. Thankyou for your help on this matter. Will this pda ba bale to support the new windows mobile when it comes out and will i be able to flash it into it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
hehe :D :p

I don't know if there will be any WinCE 6 ROMs for the Hermes in the future, but here at XDA-Developers we will put all our effort into running it if it is not "officially" supported by HTC ;)

BTW, now we should better concentrate the efforts into running Linux on the Hermes and forget about WM6 :rolleyes:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sir_italia:
LoL go the linux I use it at home it is better then Mixrosxxt ;) but it is good for the pda?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Not booting yet on the Hermes, but it runs quite well on other devices like Universal and BlueAngel. cr2 is doing a great job with the Universal if you like linux you should see how it runs there!

I hope someone joins the Linux development for the Hermes soon and we can have at least a booting kernel with minimal hardware support as starting point :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] cr2:
pof, look at the Linux on Eten500 patches on handhelds.org

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Ohhh cr2!!!! same Samsung CPU and patched haret!!! Must try that when I reach home, thanks for the pointer... will keep you updated :D

EDIT: Actually couldn't resist and tried it from work ;)

Seems that patched gnuharet for the G500 is working fine on the Hermes, but kernel doesn't boot, it freezes at the red-eye penguin screen. I guess I'll have to tweak 'default.txt' a bit, but still have to investigate how... cr2: expect my questions on IRC soon :p

So I flashed my At&t S5 to the VisiX rom and yesterday everything was working smooth but today when I use it my messages keep forcing closed. I am still able to send and recieve messages I just get a "messages has stopped working" message and it forces closed after every time I send one. Let me know if anyone else is experiencing this, or if there is a way it can be fixed...

Hey folks. White Tmobile G3, had it for about a week.

probably about every other day my data will just drop. it will show "4GLTE" with several bars, but the arrows under the symbol flash on and off. Nothing will load, and speedtest says there's a network error. Turning the data off and on won't fix it, but a reboot will. is this normal, or should I exchange it?
[T-Mobile LG G3] mallman:
Happening to mine as well. Toggling airplane mode fixes it for me
[T-Mobile LG G3] CheesyNutz:
I have the white model as well and have had some pretty crazy data issuers just left the tmobile store they have nothing reported. In my area going to watch it a bit more of it keeps up. Going back and exchanging it for another

LGG3 and beyond
[T-Mobile LG G3] bfranklin1986:
I think it's a network problem. I was having the same issue with my g2, and tmonews had an article with people around the country with different devices having the issue.

Hello!

Is it possible to buy the following items and use them as a mobile hotspot boosting device?

- http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2402900,00.asp

- http://www.verizonwireless.com/acce...ase-Affinity-Others__Also_Viewed-mls_acc40151

- http://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/adapter-cable-for-usb-lte-modem/

- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NGLTZQ/?tag=lifehackeramzn-20&ascsubtag=

I am grandfathered on verizon's unlimited data still and I am constantly traveling around California. Specifically my room and other remote areas I visit for work I can pull down decent 3g and sometimes 1 bar of LTE.

((( I purchased this item almost a year ago and used the SIM card in my phone to gain 4G signal then I connected to the network via WiFi. Everything worked fine but it was bothersome to continuously switch out my SIM card between devices so frequently whenever I couldn't take the hotspot with me. Seeing as the present situation I am involved with needs the older setup I had before; convenience is welcome.

-

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/verizon...spot/8939305.p?id=1218956066940&skuId=8939305

)))

So here I am trying to build a badass device and mount/carry in my bag while on the go.

Will the first parts I have listed above work? I am worried the boost in signal might not warrant the setup I have planned. Then again if it works as intended it could be extremely useful. Any incite is appreciated!

Furthermore, I have a software related question that could be an alternative solution to my problem.

-The ROM I am currently running is Gummy-M3.0-07-21-14-NIGHTLY-d2lte

-The Baseband version is I535VRUCML1.

Is there anyway having this firmware version is interfering with my reception?

The Gummy ROM is currently on Android 4.4.4. Is there a newer firmware I can flash to update the baseband to receive better signal?

Again thank you for reading and I hope to hear any advice or past experience that could potentially help me out!

Since your question isn't necessarily about a particular device, I recommend asking your question in the Accessories forum.

This might be a silly question, but it can't flash kernels can it?

It installed and I did a backup which took some time. I've no sources or anything. While it seems to work, I have no idea what else may come with it. But it works.
[Verizon LG G3] bunchies:
If this isnt fake than yes it could flash kernels, we don't have kernel source from LG yet though

Although, I'm not flashing this. until one of the people who made root a possibility points us to a recovery I won't be flashing one

I've flashed a font and made a backup. It works. However, I'd at least wait until a name you know says "yes, this is safe".
[Verizon LG G3] Mrbobrowitz:
From the looks of this, you just followed instructions from this thread here now, even though this appears to have worked, I would not suggest going through with actually flashing anything or making backups.

The reason is partitions are different across some of the G3 devices and it would not be a smart idea to risk flashing something to a wrong partition, especially since there are 16 and 32 gb models.

With that, it looks like there is a bypass on the VZW model which is a good sign for future use.
[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
so bootloader is unlocked??
[Verizon LG G3] droidkevlar:
Not until we get the bootloader unlocked.
[Verizon LG G3] neckbonest:
i wish!!!!

even if we had a ROM im sure we couldnt flash it with:crying:

[Verizon LG G3] suzook:
Yes we can. This is no different than flashing a custom ROM using safestrap on a Samsung product. I don't think you guys realize how big this is. While its not a boot loader unlock, we will be able to flash custom Roms based on factory ROM.

Hoping we get Aosp soon. :)

[Verizon LG G3] Kev13Dd:
Kernels require unlocked bootloaders

ROMs do not

AOSP roms require AOSP kernel

So this is a possible first step towards custom ROMs, but they'll all be LG ROMs until we get an unlocked bootloader

[Verizon LG G3] oneandroidnut:
worked flawlessly for me!!! bring on the roms!!!
[Verizon LG G3] imucarmen:
To all those saying the boot loader needs to be unlocked to flash kernels and ASOP roms that's not entirely true. Loki would also work. I don't know if the bootloader was ever unlocked on the G2 but we had cm11 a month after it came out and several custom kernels and it was all done thanks to Loki.
[Verizon LG G3] suzook:
I believe Loki was closed up on 4.4.2

you sir are a brave man:good:
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
Guys, I wouldn't touch this without seeing a manual method of what this apk is actually doing first - which is ALWAYS posted. This is scary, and your risking your own security using this....

The fact that there isn't an adb/fastboot method posted should be the only red flag you need.

---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------

And it's for the Korean varient which has a different partition layout.
[Verizon LG G3] Crooke356:
Or, as annoyingduck MIGHT say, stupid. To me, his point is the biggest risk. Biggest question is, what's packaged with the CWM based recovery? Before I installed it, i did a titanium backup to my SD card. Then removed it and my sim. Then factory reset. Then installed the recovery. Obviously, this doesn't protect anything on my internal storage but hey, risk is part of it and i didn't have much besides some walls. I'm sure someone will come along and point out that despite my efforts, it wouldn't have mattered. Anyway, after booting, without signing into any services, i checked to see which apps were running then added my sim and so on, so forth. Continuing to check what was going on in the background. There are always risks with this things. This one, more than others. For ME, that's where the fun is!

Edit: the partition thing.. Makes sense. I've done a backup and flashed a font a couple times with no issues.. Yet. The op said he restored. My question on this, since I have access to my internal storage, does that mean the partitions are the same? Or similar?
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
Nice wording [emoji6]...

And to quote the chive "your doing it right!"

For the noobs, this is how you should prepare to impulsively pioneer.... Nice!
[Verizon LG G3] chinkster:
guess i will keep my lg g3 then lol
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
[MENTION=4154047]Crooke356[/MENTION] One key reason each varient will have its own version of custom recovery is because of the partition layout/orientation. All androids in general have their boot/recovery/system/data/misc partitions, but they will be sized and layed out differently on each device. A theoretical example: say you perform a cache wipe....this "recovery" knows where it is on the Korean variant, but on ours it thinks its somewhere in the /misc partition and it wipes you efs and you can no longer connect to your provider.
[Verizon LG G3] suzook:
Well, I guess our partitions are the same then. I have backed up, wiped, restored, flashed some system .zips, and everything is fine. While I understand everyone's hesitation, I have seen no issues.
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
I'm not the only one thinking it's better to wait until one of our devs looks into it more right?

Some of you have had no issues while I've seen some have boot loops. Not to mention we don't have any Roms to flash right? I think the international g3 has CM11 but it'd be better to have a Kernel to flash along with that in my opinion.

When I see Chinese letters in something as crucial as a recovery I get spooked. Maybe if this wasn't my first lg phone id be more apt to try this but I'll hold off at until you guys look into things more

[Verizon LG G3] Colchiro:
You guys are braver than me. I haven't had this phone long enough to start taking those risks. Plus insurance replacement is over $100, if I remember correctly, hardly worth it.
[Verizon LG G3] Skizzy034:
This is pretty much safestrap. If you look at the custom rom in the G3 section, it uses a different way to flash it. The G3 came with a way to flash stuff to /system with the stock recovery. That is essentially what this apk is doing. If you notice, the stock recovery is still present after installing this "recovery." Safestrap is also installed through an apk just like this one.
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
Although this recovery here doesn't have any options for ROM slots correct? So everything is being flashed to the primary ROM spot. Just like a regular CWM would work.

SafeStrap actually wasn't bad on my RAZR because we had the ability through Kexec to flash custom kernels.... Which for me is very important.

I can't wait to see what this phone will do with a custom Kernel. Stock settings suck.

At the moment, cannibalizing the circle case for its PMA reciever is the only way to get wireless charging onto the stock back. Then you can use whatever case you'd like and have wireless charging.

[AT&T LG G3] idelgado782:
Please report back your findings. I purchased the official LG circle back from att yesterday and it does NOT have contacts for wireless charging. I didn't realize till late last night since I was out and about all day. I read someone on xda purchased the LG case from a Verizon store and that one didn't have the contacts either. When you look online at the att website it says that the powermat charging quick folio is only available online. The online case is grey. However the ones being sold in the att store are white. Although wireless charging isn't a deal breaker for me in terms of the overall experience of the phone, the powermat issue still is a little annoying. Here's a picture of the case. It's also hard to put on and take off. It feel a like I'll snap off one of the corners in the process.

No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.
[AT&T LG G3] sic0048:
Yeah, that is the snap on case. I don't think those were designed to have wireless charging (in any flavor, country or carrier). Those don't replace the backcover, but simply snap over the back cover. It's the type of cases that replace the back cover that may come with wireless charging.

A few months ago was trying to flash a new ROM onto my NC when the battery died..yea stupid me forgot to charge it.

Now, whenever I plug it in, I get the charging screen but it doesn't go any farther usually...sometimes it'll go into recovery after charging for a little, but thats where my second issue comes in

My NC won't recognize any memory card I put in it. I put them in my computer with an adapter and its fine, I put it in another phne and its fine...I put it in my NC and get "can't mount /sdcard/"

Its done it with many sdcards, not just one specific one

I take no credit for this but I figured I'd share it credit goes to [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] from this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2467302 and credit goes to [MENTION=5193342]markfm[/MENTION] for the shortcut.

But I do take the credit in packaging it into a flashable zip

First download the hidden menu apk from xdabbeb's thread from above and using root browser or a similar app manually paste it into system/app and set the permissions to rw-r-r

The using root browser create a file and name it hiddenmenu and put this command in the file by typing in the following-

am start -a android.intent.action.Main -n com.lge.hiddenmenu/com.lge.hiddenmenu.HiddenMenu

Hit save them put the file you just created in /system/bin and set the permissions to rwxr-xr-x and save

Then all you have to do is launch terminal emulator and type in the following

su and hit enter

hiddenmenu and hit enter

That's it hidden menu will then launch

Then back in terminal emulator exit out

Here you go I made it even easier with a flashable zip ( please read and follow the instructions)

Just flash the zip

Reboot ( the next step depends on the ROM and kernel some you don't have to do the next step and some you do if you get the error code when trying to enter the hidden menu then do the next step otherwise you're good)

Using root browser or similar app go into system/app and find the hiddenmenu.apk and click on it and click install

In terminal emulator type "su" then type "hiddenmenu" without the quotes of course and you're in

Here's the zip- https://mega.co.nz/#!bpJ0DDbA!pSDJcaHFnXulkGyA2s-cIQldTrLbv-FVspD2RzW97Ts

To get back the knock on feature if you've lost it once your in the hidden menu click on HW Device Test then click on Touch Test and in there near the bottom you'll see Touch Firmware Upgrade click that and then click OK wait about 15 seconds and you're set

please remember to hit thanks if you like my work
[Verizon LG G2] ars0n:
what does this hidden menu allow us to do?
[Verizon LG G2] Robshr:
Well there are a lot of things you can do with it but in the same sense you can mess your phone up bad if you don't know what your doing the most common use is to update your touch firmware if you happen to lose you knock on feature by flashing a custom kernel
[Verizon LG G2] JJT211:
Is this for stock only or can we use it for AOSP?
[Verizon LG G2] Robshr:
Yes it should work on an asop ROM as long as it's a Verizon ROM
[Verizon LG G2] JJT211:
OK cool, im hoping to find something to disable that stupid knock-on feature. Im running C-Rom 7.1 btw

I pasted the .apk into system app and change permissions. But im having trouble with how to create the file in root browser.

When I enter root browser I select "+new" at the bottom. I then select "create file" in which case I input that long command and when I press done I get "Operation Failed"

Am I doing this correctly?
