Request for LG G Vista Device Forum

Hello everyone!

I have just put in an official device forum request for this device over here. If you want a place to call home on XDA, please go voice your opinion on the topic. I don't own this device, but I still think it deserves its own forum. So just go say something over there, get their attention.

Need recovery.img, boot.img, and aboot.img from D631

Would anyone be able to dump these for me? It would be awesome if you could. Trying to create a bumped recovery for this device.

also, this should be able to root any G Vista D631 that hasn't been yet. It's been tested on one D631 and worked.

Hi, i am trying to stay on top of this but having a hard time following due to many different versions of this phone

i have

LG G Vista

Model: VS880

software version: VS88012A

from Verizon

is there a root for this or a older version, i just updated it not too long ago

can someone share the info or post?, Please and thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlhutch:
No, recovery mode has been removed since version 11b. To root, you will need find a copy of the vs880 firmware 10b or eariler (I got my copy from this forum) and downgrade using the LG Flash Tool.

see: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2797190

Then root via the standard method outlined here:

Happy rooting, good luck!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AACThaKid:
Thank you very much!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdamnit:
Just got this device. Thanks for the root info. Gotta downgrade to 10b and then root it.

Is there a safe to remove bloatware list?

Someone care to help me? I'm on 10b, but even with drivers installed (and uninstalled, and reinstalled multiple times) I cannot get this useless device to accept USB debugging. It will connect as MTP, and even with developer options enabled and USB debugging enabled, it NEVER shows up in the notifications.

I'm unable to root this phone, because USB debugging will not start. Worked fine on 12A. What gives?

Edit:

Got it. Apparently the vs880 needs to be in internet (Ethernet) mode for USB debugging to kick in. Soon as I get home I'll have it rooted. Then I'll start compiling a list of safe to remove bloatware.

Second Edit:

As promised, I got it rooted. Here is a list of the apps I've so far backed up and then removed (Via TiBU):

I'll hopefully add to this as I find more that are safe to remove. Please help contribute to the list so we can at least debloat our stock ROMs.

Next on my list is full SD write and Link2SD. <--- Not needed, 80% of apps can be moved naturally.

G3 TweaksBox works amazingly well on this device, once you install Xposed. It has loads of tweaks, but I only used it to remove the battery icon and leave the percentage, quick unlock (no pressing OK when PIN is input), add the call record option to the dialer.

If you install Quick Torch, you can set that as Volume Up long press in G3 TweaksBox and enable the flashlight quickly (screen has to be off!). You can also set the volume keys as media keys (skip left, right) when the screen is of and media is playing.

AdAway takes care of most ads. YouTube AdAway kills the YouTube ads.

I'm a little peeved to find that they crippled the Quick Remote app. Most other LG phones are able to control most anything with it, however we are limited to a TV and Set Top Box. The STB option is basically useless, because there is no "Guide" button. We can't even "learn" from another remote. Shame on you, LG.

I could do it. What do i usr to pull the files im rooted, busybox, and i have xposed installed.

I havent posted before but ive been watching this thread, so if you could let me know ehst i need to do ill be glad to help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdamnit:
You need a rooted device. I am not sure if the AT&T variant was rooted. Assuming it has been, perform the following in ADB with driver support and debugging enabled:

It will output something similar to this:

Research mount points and partition cluster size for your device. The AT&T source (if released!) should help. When you find out the cluster size and mount point blocks, use a command similar to this:

To pull the partitions as image files. Its been a while since I had to do this, and the process may have changed since. I'm hoping someone can elaborate a bit, but the general knowledge should still be relevant.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djacks222:
OK, problem here. Itry to run cat/proc/mtd and it gives me this output

I am using att g vista d631. I am rooted, and have adb setup, Xposed framework installed, and busybox installed too.

i browsed the directory of /proc and i am unable to even find the file to execute.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdamnit:
You can also try the following in ADB:

cat /proc/emmc

And if that fails:

cat /proc/partitions

However the last one won't give you much.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djacks222:
Alright now i ran cat /proc/partitions as its the only one that would work. and this is the output.

if i read correctly i now need to find the starting points and what mmcblk is for what. i dont knoe if there is an adb command or not, as im still learning
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djacks222:
ok heres an update.

i ran adb with this command

cat /proc/mounts and found that it is the

/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1 directory that is mounted so i rad this to pull the files

cat /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/xxxx > /sdcard/xxxx

+xxxxx is where i put recovery,system,boot,aboot,abootb,.and modem into.

i dont know how to verify that it pulled it correctly how do i go about doing this so i dont place links to possible mistakes?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdamnit:
This is past the point of my knowledge, so hopefully someone with a bit more can chime in and help out. I'm used to HTC and Motorola devices.

I knew that using the "partitions" command would work, but it wouldn't tell you partition names. Reading back a few pages, I see that AT&T hasn't released a kdz or source. You may not get the names of the partitions. If that's the case, I'd pull all the partitions and let the person who wanted them sort that out.

I saw in this post that ptmr3 was possibly testing it but I can't tell for sure if thats model vs880 phone and I didnt see any updates on that post.

i pulled the files with this adb command cat /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/xxxxx > sdcard/xxxx.img. i would assume it pulled the correct stuff as i pulled the files that cat /proc/mounts said were mounted.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdamnit:
Been having odd touch responses. Its like certain areas of the screen either don't work, or register that touch elsewhere.

For example, I keep the Play Store in the upper left hand corner of my home screen and the phone app in the lower left hand corner. Attempting to open the Play Store will ALWAYS open the phone app instead. It always happens, 100% of the times I try. If I'm in the app drawer and touch that same area, it will open the app in the lower left hand corner instead.

The phone is still within the 14 day return period so I may flash the latest firmware and return it for a new phone.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdamnit:
Can you reinstall the stock recovery at a later time with the LG Flash Tool, as my phone still has a warranty? I come from Motoland, and am unfamiliar with LG devices, so I don't know how they work yet.

I'm eventually gonna warranty repair the phone at some point, so getting back to pure stock with undetected mods or fully repairable mods is a must. Unlocking the boot loader voids the warranty on a Moto device, even if you relock it. (They can still tell you unlocked) Is LG the same way?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkman08:
Unlocking bootloader voids warranty regardless. Besides, he unlocked the bootloader but we don't know if we can even relock it. Of you are for sure going to get another device because of something faulty, do that first before you modify it as they will not accept it if you do modify it.

I was under the impression that the instructions were universal. If it works on the VZW phone, it works on the AT&T phone.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oranget:
You may be right..i am not sure. I think the CWM recovery is using the Verizon boot image if i read it correctly..but again i do not know. I am thankful for anything custom that anyone could do for this phone. It has a lot of potential, it is a shame that it is being ignored by most of the XDA developers.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdamnit:
That's not exactly their fault. Not owning the device is a huge disadvantage for developers. In the past, I have bought phones for up and coming developers and usually it comes out OK. I just cannot afford to do that at this time. I could chip in, definitely, if a developer were willing to help. So far however, our devices just aren't popular enough for a developer to take notice.

I'm happy with root and Xposed/G3 TweaksBox. The only thing I really wish we had was a full version of the LG QuickRemote/QuickSet SDK so I could program the "Guide" button on my friggin set top box. I could ditch all my stupid remotes then.
