[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidkevlar:
If I were you, I would root while you can. Verizon is notorious for patching root exploits with updates. With rooting, it doesnt wipe anything nor make any changes unless you install apps that make the changes. I would root and install SU and that would be it if I were you. Because you could wake up one morning and accidentally approve an update and then you cant root again until another exploit is found.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SomeGuyDude:
I really think there's a fundamental misunderstanding as to what root is. I rooted my phone immediately, had it since launch day on T-Mobile, but aside from some minor changes to the status bar and installing cf.lumen to save my eyes at night, it's a stock phone.

"Rooting" your phone doesn't mean installing a custom ROM and making a load of build.prop edits. It just means giving yourself access to the root directory, meaning the system files. Your computer comes with root access right out of the box.

I rooted the G3 because I just don't like the fact that I'm at all limited in how I use my own device that I bought for full ticket price. If I drop $600 on a phone I should be allowed to do whatever I want with it.

Got huge problems while updating to 10g caused by rooting the phone with Purpledrake.

Had to go the way with PC-Suite and "repair update errors" to get the 10g

Without that step Phone reboots with message "Root detected, no update"

So, in the moment I´m using the 10g without root waiting for 10i which should be released soon.

Maybe I´ll root the the phone again after next update.

If you root and lose access you simply download xposed installed and get the module root cloak which as the title implies cloaks specific apps of your choice from being able to detect root. This is how I use ISIS wallet.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] salmon:
I am trying to upgrade from Ivan's ROM beta 13 to beta 15... Using the MAupgrade utility... however, everytime the utility resets the device to start the ROM update i get "USB device not recognised" from my PC and the update fails to start... eventually i get a connection error message.

This used to work just fine... however, recently i installed Activesync 4.5 Beta 2. Could this be causing the problem...? otherwise i'm not sure what else might be causing this...

I have also tried running the tool in bootloader mode with and without "USB connections allowed" ticked in Activesync but with no success...

Can anyone help me please?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] salmon:
Hi Kassel, thanks for your response.

I have done a hard reset prior to upgrading... wouldn't that clear the registry?

If not please let me know what else i can do that might help.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] salmon:
Also, it seems very strange that i can't seem to do the ROM upgrade from bootloader mode.

I think i might be having a problem with GetDeviceData as it seems to stay in the "checking the information on your device... please wait" for forever when i try to upgrade from bootloader mode.

If it does come up, then the panel which says which version is on my device and which version it will be replaced by is blank?

This is not the case if i try to do it through activesync (with the device set up as guest).

What might get in the way of reading the device data? I made sure it went from serial to USB when i plugged the USB cable into the device and i have tried different cables...

My bootloader appears to be V1.00

hmmm... any thoughts?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] a3b:
Same here...

I also have the same problem.

Wow, it's great to hear that people are having the same problem...

Is it possible to back track with Activesync? Is 4.1 still available?

If not, i think i still have an older version running at home (i hope!)...

Is this definitely the issue then?

Sorry for not knowing, but is that one of the AKU3.2 ROMs. Not sure if it should make a difference, but just curious.

What happens with the USB drivers after installing ActiveSync 4.2

The strange thing is, that I tried connecting my MDA Pro to a PC without ActiveSync on board.

USB ports were visible using MTTY

I installed ActiveSync 4.2 and only COM ports are visible in MTTY, the USB port has vanished.

Can this be caused by the USB driver that comes with the ActiveSync install ?

If I put my device in bootloader mode, it sais USB on the PDA screen, but the utility for the ROM upgrade doesn't see the PDA and comes up with a device not connected error.

I would really like to try out one of the new ROM's by Ivan or JwRight, but am unable to, because of these USB problems.

So please someone help !!!!!!!!:eek:

my settings that I found to use are this and I have this with 1 subtraction as I don't have the option.

FIELD	SETTINGS

NAME	st lte

APN	tfdata

MMSC	http://mms-tf.net

MMS PROXY	mms3.tracfone.com

MMS PORT	80

MMS_APN	tfdata -- don't have MMS_APN

My wife has the same phone and the sim card was purchased at the same time, she is getting 14MBs down and I believe her MMS is working.

We are both on the Viper rom, i have hboot 1.44 she has 1.55 that is about the only difference.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
make sure your apn is correct, you might want to confirm with your carrier. I'm not sure about yours, but on mine, its not required to enter a mms apn when you already have a lte apn. mms works fine only using the lte apn. ALso make sure you are not using apps like AdBlock Plus, these apps block ads but they also block mms.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower2078:
Thanks for the suggestions. I have a feeling this version is setup to not use a MMS_APN as I don't even have an option to put one in.

Also, before sticking the new sim card in, everything worked fine on the same os, phone etc..... so it is all about the change to a new sim and ST resetting some things on my account to get it to work today.

I am guessing I need to call them.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Probably, at least you'll be 100% sure your apn is correct.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cirkut:
My AT&T LG G2 (plain D800) is rooted, and has Xposed installed on it (I'm not sure if this caused the issue or not), but here's what I'm having problems with:

I was playing a game, when all of a sudden the phone froze (no biggie, it's done it before, I've held the power button to force restart it, and it works), but the phone shut off on it's own, and would/will not turn back on.

Tge LG boot logo comes up intermittently when I hold power and volume up, but only sometimes. The phone has only twice now gotten to the AT&T logo, but freezes immediately and shuts down. I've tried literally every combination of holding buttons, for up to 70 seconds at a time, both on the charger, off the charger, and while plugging into the charger.

I cannot get to download mode, I cannot get to TWRP, and can obviously not boot into the phone. I had made no changes in weeks prior to this happening, so I can't see why or how something with my phone being rooted would cause the problem.

I've left the phone charged overnight before performing the actions (the phone won't even show battery percentage), so I don't think it's a dead battery issue. Everything I've read so far seems to say that the battery chip has died and needs to be replaced. Somehow I don't think it's the problem.

I'm fully willing to completely wipe the rom, and everything on it, as long as I can get the phone working again. However I cannot boot into download mode to use ADB or anything.

Is my phone completely bricked? Or is there a chance that the battery chip really is fried? Please help!

Update!

I left the phone charging some more, and decided to try volume up and power (while plugged in). The phone actually went into download mode for about 5 seconds before shutting off again. I tried doing the same steps, but nothing will come up again. It appears to be an issue with the battery on the device. Does anyone else think otherwise? Or will I have to send it in for a new battery? (The phone is less than a year old so I don't want to void the warranty anymore than rooting, which they wouldn't be able to tell since it won't turn on anyways).

Update Again:

I can get the phone to show the LG logo/download mode on a fairly consistent basis, sometimes showing a static screen (colored noise, not monotone), sometimes a blue screen, but it will shut off after 5-6 seconds every time.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gilad.i:
Hey, I do not want to announce bad but by your description it seems that did you mother board, go to the lab to make sure, I had something similar and I replaced the motherboard and my phone came on time, check if the device is still under warranty has a good chance to replace you under warranty, good luck.
