Man it's great to see development move forward with our phones guys n girls. Ever since the tot and Dll files were released, and a huge thank you to you for getting those, well it just opened the door for anything :). Everyone that is contributing their time and effort towards this I truly do appreciate, as time isn't free, neither are phones, and yet you still painstakingly push through the aspects of hell to not just benefit yourself but many others as well.

With out you all doing what you do... Android well would just be android... And I thank you.

Can anyone. Help me to manually update de atte d631 to lollipop i have an unlocked one. I am from Costa Rica so i cant have. The OTA update also. I use a central american carrier. Plz help me sorry for my english :o

You can't. If it's unable to receive OTA updates, it will never probably update. The 4.4.2 TOT is the only one available at this time.*

I am looking into getting a D631 user to root after applying the TOT and the downloading the updates so I can make them into a custom recovery flashable zip. That way D631 users pretty much have KDZ's they can flash in PhilZ recovery.

[MENTION=6711151]djacks222[/MENTION], you up for that?

No problem. I'm up trawling the forums anyway.

A CM12.1 update:

I have partial touchscreen! Everything works but the softkeys. (Back/Home/AppSwitcher) I've ran into this before, so I'm pretty sure I can fix it. Once that happens, it goes out to a few core testers and then hopefully I go to work on getting cell/data/camera working because everything worked for them also. I'm not hopeful for the camera. Thats usually one of the harder pieces of hardware to get working. I doubt I'll even work on NFC, so please don't ask. Now, watch as I pull my hair out in frustration getting all these pieces of hardware working nicely together. Sit back folks and get some popcorn, you're in for a show.

A CM12 update:

She's dead Jim. It doesn't boot. I can't even get a logcat out of the partial boot. I have given up on that project. (I have theories as to why its not working. I'll get into that later, maybe.)

Yep. Boot in fastboot, flash laf, use flash tool to apply TOT/KDZ and start over. Only fix I know of.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lancespahr:
Only problem..... I can't flash laf, there's an "unknown command error" :/ what now..? Also, I got a G2 on eBay, so dev might be easier with it, but if I can get the vista working I will definitely not forget about it :)

Sent from my SM-N915V
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdamnit:
Boot into fastboot mode. Fastboot erase recovery and laf, then flash stock recovery and laf. It should flash, unless you don't have fastboot and have the stock laf/download mode. In that case, use the flash tool to flash your KDZ/TOT.

Alternatively, for some reason recovery is causing this. Fastboot flash PhilZ again and see if that fixes it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lancespahr:
all the tips you gave me spit a FAILED (remote: unknown command) error... I'm a bit concerned :/
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djacks222:
I can help with that. I just am on 4.4 because I don't have a recovery for lollipop and I really dislike the thought of no custom recovery. If there was one for lollipop I would be of more help but either way I can help you out with what ever it may be.

Sent from my SM-N915V
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdamnit:
I doubt that version of fastboot is going to help. The reason that user received those errors is because s/he was using a subpar charging cable that would not allow the battery to fully charge. Fastboot likes to have the battery above 80%, and once that user changed cables and charged the battery enough, fastboot flashing commands would process normally.

As the user here is having "secure boot" problems (recovery related) it just won't help. Probably won't hurt either though.

[MENTION=5713296]lancespahr[/MENTION]: If it won't process fastboot flash commands but will process other fastboot commands (getvar battery-voltage), look into djacks222's thread. If it doesn't process any fastboot commands, I'm pretty sure you have a paperweight.

I apologise for lack of updates. I have been sick and laid up in the hospital with pneumonia and a sinus infection. I got discharged this morning and am finally home on the road to recovery.

Good news? Touchscreen fully works on CM12.1. I'm super busy right now, but later I'll try and get PM's out to testers on a VS880 and a few on the D631.

I have class on Monday all damn day, so I can't work on it until then. I may hold off on sending out to testers until I get cell reception fixed. (Otherwise, I just turned your G Vista into a useless iPod)

F*** my life...

I went north to visit my family on Thursday for the weekend this weekend. I got a voicemail from my roommate Thursday night saying the house had burned down and that I need to come home. I thought he was joking, so I never returned the call. (We indeed joke like that. Odd sense of humor we have and all...) Yesterday, I get a call from the police requesting my return to sort out the remains of what used to be everything I own.

I got home (what used to be home, anyway) to see it was a total loss. The only thing left that was visible was my gun safe, but even that was ruined. I started sorting through where my bedroom was and found the remains of my bed frame. Most of it had collapsed into the basement and is now a huge hole full of trash.

I'm OK, my roommate is OK. The cats didn't make it, unfortunately. Nobody was home to rescue them. We were both doing early Thanksgivings with family. It also partially burned my neighbors west side of his house. Insurance has me in the local Holiday Inn until I can get this sorted. Not sure how it happened or what caused it yet, but they think it started in the basement near the washer and dryer.

I literally own a VS880, a charger, one Carhart winter jacket, 3 changes of cloths, and my truck. 15 years worth of my life, gone.

(Sarcasm) Happy thanksgiving, I guess. (/Sarcasm)

I forgot that my iPad was in my truck north with me, so I still have that too I guess.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lancespahr:
Oh my gosh.. Thoughts and prayers going to you, I'm so sorry to hear that :( I'm glad you and your roommate were safe.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdamnit:
Thanks. When I get done with all my running, I'll try and upload pics. It's pretty gone, though.

Insurance is going to cover it, as long as it wasn't caused by something we did. (I'm 100% certain that a faulty dryer caused it.)

Anyway, I bow out of development on this device. Everything I had for it is now gone. Hell, I don't even have a way to access ADB. :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkfryan:
Wow! That's awful! Hopefully insurance doesn't jerk you guys around to much!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdamnit:
They didn't, thank god. They found that it was caused by an electrical short in the fuse panel, most likely a faulty breaker. Since I owned the house and was renting to my roommate, they cut me a check for the value of the house and primary living furniture as soon as they got the report that we didn't leave a candle burning or some other stupid crap.

My roommate had renters insurance because it was part of the rental agreement, so he is covered no matter what. My insurance already went over his inventory list and cut him a check. He is staying with his girlfriend temporarily while he figures out what's next.

I'm house hunting. I need one quick because living out of friends places sucks. It's hard to house hunt when you work 50+ hours a week though. I did manage to buy a laptop though. And thank god MEGA is around, because when this all went down I was running 23A unrooted. So I at least got my VS880 back to a rooted state. (Not having ABP and Minminguard were killing me, I swear.)

Some advice to homeowners:

Keep your receipts for anything you currently own in a safe place OUTSIDE of your house. An unattached garage, your vehicle, buried in the backyard in a sealed PVC tube... Or take pictures of all the receipts and store the pictures in the cloud. My insurance agent recommended me this, because I now have to prove I owned all these things and all my receipts are ashes. So yeah, its good advice I got AFTER. I'm just trying to put it out there for someone to read it and save themselves some headache.

Kingroot mobile doesn't seem to work for the VS880.

I can't seem to get the downgrade to work. Following instructions to the letter and changing variables around many many times still yields "Upgrade Failure" displayed on the phone when I try to flash 10B.

Tonight I got an update notification, on unmodified 23A. So I took it for fun and science. Brought me to 24A and I was able to flash back to 23A with no special steps. Just an FYI in case it helps with development.

I've been checking in on this thread every now and then, hoping that maybe one day my dust collector can be used as a phone again >,< .

You think this will work on AT&T? My update says 5.1.1, not 0.2 for the android version, if I look at the changelog.

I might try this on my AT&T. I thought the root for 4 took away the OTA update checking, but it keeps asking me and it is getting annoying so I might just try it.

Omg so Tapatalk isn't liking me today... In response to the last post, if you used my method posted pages back on flashing .tot and .dll file for ATT to return to complete stock, then you will be able to take the ota because no root is existent there, but if you didn't, then it will fail.

Dang I just cannot seem to get the downgrade to work for me from 23A to 10B

I'm following bob's guide here (http://androidforums.com/threads/vs880-downgrade-from-5-1-1.961891/)

Flashes 23A over itself fine (got rid of modified status so that was nice) but the whole wait until extraction is done, and on next screen pull out cord, swap kdz's, and retry just makes it fail every time.

Anyone else having this issue?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lancespahr:
Are you sure the 10B kdz has the EXACT same name as the 23A kdz?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaxxTrias:
10b: VS88010B_03.S10B_03.R5.kdz

23a: VS88023A_00_ARB01.kdz

I do the song and dance up until where I hit start, flasher goes through the preparing stage, then extraction. As soon as screen flashes to upgrading I yank out the cord and proceed to move the 23a file out of the folder, bring in the 10b and rename it with a copypasted name from the 23a file. Plug cord back in, wait a few seconds and hit retry.

It goes through the motions again, and then fails.

23a flashes fine, I can manipulate internal/sdcard memory on my desktop. The only thing that stands out to me is when I plug in phone in download mode windows whines about being unable to load/install the "LGE Android MTP" driver.

Still though, if it flashes 23a surely thats not the problem...

edit:

screencap for additional info:

I move the 23a file into the lg-flash folder at the start, then when I pull the cord I move it back out, rename the 10b to the copy-pasted name of the 23a and move it back in. Plug cord back in and hit retry and no dice.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lancespahr:
What I do is name them both the same name, in the same folder, before even opening flash tool, and then designate 23a with a .kdz.23a extension and .kdz.10b for the 10b file, exchanging them when needed (start with 23a as .kdz and 10b as .kdz.10b, then when you pull the cord, all you have to do is rename 23a to .kdz.23a and delete .10b from the other, then resume).. Not sure if that helps, but also make sure you have all the drivers installed (just to double check).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaxxTrias:
Well I took another crack at it, and just for completeness' sake I tried more driver sets and you're method of renaming.

Unfortunately it didnt work and I am fresh out of idea's. Thanks for trying to help me though.

I think the problem is that if you dissect the ioroot.bat file you can clearly see that it is pushing a security file through adb based on the version of android before installing the update.zip (datroot.zip). I think that we are lacking this file for the Vista or we need to find a compatible model to use the file from that.
