[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
LG has two kind of firmware for their devices: FACTORY and USER. Factory image is used to test the phones hardware like bluetooth, wifi, screen etc... and enables some more options for LG testers to make it sure the phone works perfectly. The user image for nexus 5 is the same what google offers for us.

[MENTION=2121627]mrfochs[/MENTION] try to do a backup if possible. Kernel, system and radio that is what we need. Also please check the bootloader version if it somethig new then make a backup. You will have problems using LG flashtool in the future, but it can be solved easily. If you ever have to use lg flashtool to return to stock just contact me and we make your phone compatible again with LG flashtool.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLastSidekick:
While that build is technically old, like [MENTION=5165311]vin4yak[/MENTION] said, that kernel date is what's really throwing me off.

I'm on stock right now and KTU84P kernel reads it was created on March 17th, 2014

Unlock bootloader, flash twrp recovery make a backup where you select system and boot then you upload the backup somewhere.

This is so strange. I have the EXACT same situation happening to me. I got my phone back from LG as unrepairable due to "epoxy crack" and now it has this testing Key Lime Pie version that is impossible to update from.

Please let me know if you're able to successfully do the repair yourself or flash back to factory original. From this thread, it seems it's not easy to.

Which part did you order from ETrade Supply?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
There's zero reason for this to be happening except extreme incompetence on LG's service tech's part. I would get in contact with them and demand some free service because of this. It's bad enough they can't repair the phone, but it's 100x worse that they send the phone back to you in even worse condition.

No excuse for this. I would be looking for compensation, personally.

Sadly I've heard other worrying things about LG's "repair" service. They don't even seem to realize there's a final clip that needs to be engaged on the back of the phone or else NFC and Qi don't work. That's basic stuff and gives me no confidence in their tech's abilities.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrfochs:
LG Flashtool affects Sideloads?

I have given up trying to get the app files off this phone as the current version of Android that is installed on here keeps crashing popping up "Google Play Services failed to load" or a handful of other popups indicating apps that have failed to launch. I set up the drivers on my computer to sideload 4.4.4 through ADB, but I keep getting "File Signature Verification Failed." Is this a result of trying to sideload the OTA while ADB is seeing a different firmware as a result of the LG Flash tool you mentioned?

I contacted LG to ask them how to get the factory software on the phone and they want me to ship the phone back to them in Fort Worth as their paperwork "doesn't indicate that anything was done to the phone." I would prefer to find a way to install stock back to the phone without having to mail my phone again (especially since I just replaced the screen).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
It'll fail if you're using stock recovery?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
Contact me on hangouts: toth.dominik92@gmail.com

Then I will make it work to flash google's rom. Only thing you have to do is let me connect to your PC through team viewer and connect your phone in fastboot mode to your PC.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Good on you for standing up to their B.S. as there's just no excuse for that to happen. We can't argue with their reasoning for not repairing (it's up to them to decide if they want to attempt a repair for $140, after all) but they can't be so lazy/incompetent as to not reload the proper software on there. It would take them what, a couple minutes? Similar to how they're not engaging people's NFC/Qi charger on the back of the phone which should be obvious to techs who's job it is to work with these devices.

Don't forget you can always bring your phone into an independent repair shop, they won't refuse your money though I doubt their attention to detail will be much better than your average LG tech.

loop after flash

hi, I flashed the stock android after unlocking bootloader, but now it is stuck in a boot loop. I also I noticed that when it flashed, after finishing, it said boot.sig recovery.sig system.sig werent found. when I tried to boot in the safe mode, the little green android man was on his back with a red exclamation point. any thoughts?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanzlavos:
Hi

I have an SM-N900.

Recently I changed a few stuff in the UI including the Settings menu. I was using the Settings menu from S5 by replacing the apk. Today I thought of reverting this. This is what I did :

1) Changed the existing apk to SecSettings.apk_S5 (as a backup)

2) And i changed the backup I had (SecSettings.apk.bak) to SecSettings.apk

Now, I assumed the permissions and all would be fine as it was being used earlier. I don't know if its the permissions that is causing the problem, but, after I rebooted the phone after making the above changes, my phone won't boot up. :( It is stuck at the Samsung logo...

What do i do ? Is there some way of flashing the settings apk (if i find the correct one) as a zip file from CWM ? or should i just flash a stock firmware ?

UPDATE :

I used Aroma file browser to revert these changes (that is go back to s5 settings) and the phone came up finally !!! Now the questions is, how do i go back to my stock settings ? :(
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dirtdawg57:
So just a quick run down of the what happened. I am rooted with safestrap. I had the slimkat rom installed and I have a nandroid backup of my slimkat rom and stock rom.

I tried to use the app called internal to external to swap my internal and external sd so I would have more room (stupid because I didn't know what I was doing). First I copied all the files from my internal storage to the external sd per instructions including the safestrap files(Probably part of my problem). Then for those familiar with the app I selected the sdcard and sdcard-ext for the first two options and sys/dev/block/179:97 for the third option where it says select the sdcard at the system level. For the mount option I had unmask=0000.

Anyway I hit the swap button and not much changed. I checked storage and it showed that the internal storage was clear but it still only said 2gb were available. I then rebooted and it was stuck in a boot loop. Its pretty messed up no but with much playing I can still sometimes get into safestrap, but when I look in the rom slots it says there is 0 space available internal. I have tried to do wipes but it says it can't wipe cache. Right now it is active under slot 1 but if I try to activate any others it crashes. I tried to restore my nandroid but it fails. I can still move files in file manager though.

Is there anything I can do that might help? And would restoring with rsd lite even help at this point? Thanks for any ideas!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dirtdawg57:
Ok so it a crazy turn of events it actually booted to stock jb and is still rooted but it is still pretty messed up. In files it says that the internal has 0 free space but I can still open it and see its files. It won't save pictures because it says no space is available. See pictures. I am going to try to leave it on so it might be a little easier to work on the files. Is there a way to unflip what ever I flipped with that app?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dirtdawg57:
So with it booted back up I installed the external to internal app again and played with it some more. At first I had though I had made it worse because it said the SD card was the internal and the external. But I rebooted it and after a series of wipes and restore attemps I was able to restore my stock and slimkat backups. Everything looks good except I has a flashboot error every time I reboot but I think I might have found the a way to fix that also. Thank you Lord!

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USMC-rah:
My tab 10.5 got stuck in download mode. I was trying to use JOdin, being that i'm on a mac.

I booted the tab into recovery via terminal and then attempted to use JOdin.

Once I started, I got an error saying I needed a PIT file, so it told me to restart my tablet and try again, the problem is, I cant restart it.

its stuck in download and I cant pop the battery out, of course.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] win81-64:
I don't know the answer myself but maybe someone will help. I wonder what happens if the tablet is left on to let the battery run out. When it runs out and is recharged again and you power it on will it start at the boot screen and allow you to get into download mode or continue being stuck?

Someone else on these forums said to hold the POWER button, VOL - button and HOME together to exit download mode... for about 8 to 10 seconds. Does that work for you or is it completely stuck?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pibach:
For me it worked, i.e. it ends Download Mode. But it reboots rhight away again into Download Mode. So the only way to get out of it is to flash using Odin.

I think it is caused bei Knox. You can one-click-disable Knox bei SuperSu App.

Before knowing the key combination, I did a full run down in Download Mode. Took approx 30h from 80% charge.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edan1979:
just press the download mode button combination... in the start of the download mode it will ask you a question to press down to cancel (reboot to system) or press up to enter download mode.... just press down... your device will reboot.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger_beast:
Press and hold Home+vol down+Power
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
It rebooted to download mode because you used the key combo to reboot back to download mode.

Next time to reset the device hold POWER + VOL DOWN only.

No idea why people keep posting the wrong key combo for reset, I've posted it a thousand times already. :confused:
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] penguinjoe:
Probably because you are the only one in this thread that provided a key combination for reset mode (as opposed to download or recovery mode) and nobody here has seen your other posts.

As an aside my tablet would not reboot at all with anything but POWER + VOL DOWN (no HOME) - mine is a Tab S2.

If you are used to using the phones, most of the older ones you can simply pop the battery out if you get stuck - no need for a forced reboot. That ain't so easy with their tablets.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tchk856:
I had same exact problem with tablet getting stuck saying getting pit file, I made a new admin account and used a different USB

Port and had no problems after that. So I would say its def your operating system. I would try using a live CD of Ubuntu if you don't wanna

Change your os. I'm pretty sure your tablet is fine mine got stuck at that point like 10 times and I reset it with key combo with no I'll effects.

Key combos

Reset: power + volume down

Download mode: power+ volume down+home

Recovery: power+volume down + home, then when screen goes black release volume down and hold volume up until recovery starts

Also just to clarify, volume down is the button closest to the power button

Actually it was bought from China and as usual, no google services were working. Later I tried to root the TAB and it worked. Later I downloaded another beta rom from the internet and tried to deploy it. Since then it stuck on that screen, not booting fully.

Now please help me to boot the TAB, as it is stuck in ODIN mode. I tried all suggested way (Volume down + power button / volume down + power + home button) but no change. It is not booting, nor even shutting down.

Please help.

So basically you need to install the stock firmware.

I suggest you find the Hong Kong firmware as this is usually compatible with the Chinese models plus it includes GAPPS.

Ok guys here is whats going on. I have been talking to Jacob and a few others on the board about cingular data plans with the 8125.

They had me on the dtcnulrn or something like that for 60 buckas a month. Also I had media net bundle on there for unlimited text messages! I was paying over 100 bucks a month for a normal bill.

Now jacob said to just use media max and cancle everything else because Cingular can't tell the difference between using a smart phone or using a phone that uses media net and that it was all just unlimited internet access.

So what are your thoughts and concerns about me doing this. I have tried to check my data usage since i switched but it tells me I cant get this data untill the next billing cycle on dec 10th. thanks for any input!

It's not worth the $$$, Cingular and Tmo now has HSDPA speed and their charging way too much for even the slowest GPRS service. I wish the FCC would deregulate the data portion of GSM cell towers so other, cheaper companies would flood in and offer data only SIMS at more resonable prices.

How can I port pa 4.45 stable from the nexus 7 (2012)? I think that an asop based rom would do better for porting Asus apps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
With great difficulty.

You should look at building it from the PA sources on their github instead.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
OK, how would I go about doing so?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You will need to install linux to start preferably on a machine as dual boot or stand alone or in a virtual machine.

Do a google search for building android roms from source on github. It'll have way more info on how to do it than I could possible type out for you here.

It'll be quite journey for you :)

You need to clone some repos on git and then you can start to build for the TF700.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
Ok, I will start when I get back home from vacation. I already have Linux on my desktop there.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
I was just looking around in the asopa legacy git and saw that they already have a device tree for the tf201, would it be less work to edit that to make it compatible with the tf700 than forking from cm?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Probably not, depending on how old it is, but you can use it as a reference. Also compare the TF201 trees of PA and CM to see if there are any PA-specific things to be done.
