Does bootloader need to be unlocked first?

bootloader need to be unlock for flashing custom recovery
[G 2014 Android Development] bluepower:
Very useful tool. Thanks a lot
[G 2014 Android Development] vinaybaboo:
Where is the download link???

And can it be used to flash stock boot.img and recovery.img files so that we can get ota on our device...

I have a 1068 international 16gb device with custom recovery, custom kernel...
[G 2014 Android Development] mnishamk:
It's a Dev Db project so, you may have to see the online version, instead of from the app. I've added a link to redirect there.

I think so, yes. But i don't think it will do any good. AFAIK, ota can't be done if you have an unlocked bootloader.
[G 2014 Android Development] vinaybaboo:
Thanks man... Appreciate it... :thumbup:

Everytime I check my firmwire. It is always blank.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
Flash the correct firmware a couple of times and then flash the new built of twrp.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dia_naji:
I flashed everything and it was a success. I read somewhere that you have to flash firmwire then custom rom. But I just flashed the firmwire over the custom rom. Is that alright
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
the firmware is the thing that brings back the O.S line in the bootloader, if that failed you have to flash the firmware a couple of times straight after each other for like 2-3 times. Then it should be back.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
ROM and firmware are two completely different things. If you reflashed firmware sucessfully, the Custom ROM is still there, but you would have to re-flash a custom recovery to perform backups and restores again.

Firmware is the radio and recovery, thus the core system, ROM is the OS that is installed above this core system. In the most generall way.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dia_naji:
I flashed it once and it's not blank with the latest stock firmwire. BUT since i flashed it over the custom rom does that break anything ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
If it all boots and works its fine i guess ;)

OK, so my phone went freaking haywire....it deleted files I had after flashing crDROID..it's just one big mess...I have no mobile data, can't connect to wifi...I'm on 2.22.401.5..do I just need to install a new rom or what ? I was under the impression that with being cid ' ed to 1111111 I could flash any rom and having working data. .I keep hearing alot about 2.22.1540.3 or 2.22.1540.4, and wanted to use that
[Sprint LG G3] randyrampage609:
Anyone have any badass Sprint version boots?
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
I just got my G3 today after retiring my LG Optimus G(was run over by a car last friday - not me, just the phone ;-P). Still currently customizing it and setting it up but was planning on starting work on some bootanimations for sprint this weekend. No concrete ETA but they are coming.
[Sprint LG G3] randyrampage609:
Man that sucks sorry to here that and about those boot animations can't wait to see what you out just make sure you post them on this thread lol and other ones if anyone else asks.
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
It took some messing around(the G3 is similar and yet very different from the optimus g) but I did get one boot animation working for my phone with sound. I will post it later today/tomorrow. It's my personal one so it may not have a wide fan base but I will post it anyway and then begin doing some more for the masses. ;)
[Sprint LG G3] randyrampage609:
Awesome my man can't wait to see how it looks
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
Doctor Who Bootanimation with Sound!!!

Doctor Who Bootanimation for the Sprint LG G3!

WARNING

This is a disclaimer: While this has been tested I am not responsible for ANY damage done to your device. I take no responsibility for bootloops, soft bricks, hard bricks, living brick monsters, your phone proving an omnipotent being fallible(thus negating all existence), your great aunt smoking bath salts, flying monkeys, hot pockets, obamacare, dingleberries, carnivorous dingleberries or Sundays. Use at your own risk!!

Secondary disclaimer: If you have carnivorous dingleberries then you have bigger problems to worry about - but for any phone related questions feel free to message me on here either privately or in the thread.

This is my personal bootanimation for the Sprint LG G3 and I thought I would share it with any other Doctor Who fans out there. The original video is not my work, I simply did the leg work to turn it into a bootanimation. Doctor Who and the Tardis are registered trademarks of the BBC.

THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP!(Obviously, since our bootloader is still locked). You have to manually put it into your system/media folder and change permissions(-rw-r--r-- aka 644). Also, you will want to delete your old boot animation(make a backup!). The G3 has two bootanimations on our phone so you will want to replace both bootanimation.zip and bootanimation_sprint.zip(Just rename this file and have two copies in system/media). Then manually put both PowerOn.ogg and PowerOn_Sprint.ogg into system/media/audio/ui for working sound! You ALSO need to either replace the files in carrier/cust/poweron or just delete that folder altogether(That's what I did).

Again, make sure you have backups of your original files saved to your computer. For me if something didnt work I would get a black screen but it would still boot. Other phones can soft brick but it looks like the G3 isn't one of em - still, better safe than sorry! I never ask for donations but if you like/use it, you could always hit that thank button! :)

Whoa!!! That is some impressive work!

I may not watch Dr Who, but I can watch that bootani a lot.

Thanks, and glad you came over.:good:

Edit: I think I've rebooted too many needless times. It really looks good on this screen.
[Sprint LG G3] randyrampage609:
Nice not a big Dr Who fan any chance you could make a walking dead boot animation with the title then transitioning into all the characters* one by one and then at the end the sound says we're all infected with Ricks voice? Sorry kind off asking a lot but I don't know how to make them yet.
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
I've been doing the same thing. Wish I could take credit for the original video! It just looks so good on this screen and I've rebooted too many times because I just love watching it.....thanks man and glad to be here!

---------- Post added at 06:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 PM ----------

I'll see what I can do, been working with After Effects a bit. As always no ETA but I do want to start pushing out a lot of these bootanimations for our device. Let's get the ball rolling! Walking Dead is added to the list. :)
[Sprint LG G3] randyrampage609:
Awesome man let me know when you have something made up can't wait to see more of your work big fan of twd
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
When you say transitioning into all of the carriers, do you mean doing one bootani for each carrier? Sprint, Verizon, Tmo, etc? Once I get the base one down it would be easy to adjust per carrier.
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
Anything with that same 3D effect that your Dr Who has!
[Sprint LG G3] randyrampage609:
No sorry I ment to say characters of the walking dead but I have Sprint you should make one for the others after you come up with an original
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
Ok that's what I thought you meant but wasn't sure. During the work week my time is heavily taxed but I'll work on that one first.
[Sprint LG G3] randyrampage609:
Awesome man can't wait to see the final result.
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
The Dr Who animation was a video I found but it has set the bar pretty high for anything that comes after. If you come up with any ideas [MENTION=1280108]engine95[/MENTION], let me know and I'll see what I can do.
[Sprint LG G3] Mahapederdon:
The new mad max trailer on YouTube is 1440p. That could be a pretty decent one with the right editing.
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
Ok I should finally have some time today to work on this. A few questions because I'm not a fan of the show. Are there different title sequences for different seasons? Same with characters? I'm guessing some of them had to die, lol. If the answer to these are yes, then let me know what season's opening you want and a list of the characters to include. Excuse my ignorance but I was born and raised in Pittsburgh so I'm sick of zombies - that's what can happen when you live in the same town as George Romero.
[Sprint LG G3] randyrampage609:
Haha nice um just season 4 opening , characters mischone,daryl,Abraham,rosita,Glen,Carol,tyrease,Maggie,Eugean,Carl,Rick
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
Ok as of right now I have 3 different ones I'm working on. So far I do have JUST the opening credits as a bootanimation if you want that until the other ones get done. The other ones are obviously gonna be more work and I got caught up with a few other projects today.
[Sprint LG G3] randyrampage609:
Sure man let me take a look any boot sound and if so how do I use it
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
Ok well here is the bootanimation.

You need to place it into system/media twice. Once named exactly how it is and another copy renamed bootanimation_sprint.zip. Basically just follow the exact same directions as the doctor who bootanimation. DON'T FORGET TO CHANGE PERMISSIONS. As for the sound, I didnt test it to make sure it syncs up but here is one I made real quick. It also needs to be copied twice, once how it is already named and the second copy needs to be renamed PowerOn_Sprint.ogg. These files go into system/media/audio/ui. Again just follow the full directions found on the doctor who bootani because they're the same.

It's literally just the opening credits from season 4 and the sound file is the theme song with rick saying "We're all infected" at the end. But again I may have to alter the length of the sound to match the bootanimation, I just havent tested that part. Just figured I'd give you something for now. Sorry man, too many responsibilities/projects and hobbies - I wanted to do a lot more today.
[Sprint LG G3] randyrampage609:
Haha it's all good man
[Sprint LG G3] randyrampage609:
How do I change the permissions
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
What file explorer are you using?
[Sprint LG G3] randyrampage609:
Fx but I found it was putting it in the wrong system folder I'll let you know it it works in a sec
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
Yeah it has to be /system/media from the root of your filesystem, not on internal storage. And permissions should just be in properties but I've never used FX, I use solid explorer.
[Sprint LG G3] randyrampage609:
And how do I go about making the sound work should I delete sprints sound?
[Sprint LG G3] randyrampage609:
Ok have everything set and in designated folders let's see if it works
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
In /system/media/audio/ui replace PowerOn.ogg and PowerOn_Sprint.ogg with the file I linked to(Copy it over then rename it PowerOn_Sprint.ogg and copy that one over too). Change permissions on those as well. If it still doesn't work, the sounds are also located at /carrier/cust/poweron. Either replace them there as well or just delete that folder. I deleted the folder and had no negative side effects.
[Sprint LG G3] randyrampage609:
Ok sound worked but the boot animation didn't what files should I move or delete I still have the boot animation for android l displaying
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
/system/media/bootanimation.zip and /system/media/bootanimation_sprint.zip

replace those with the file I linked to. Its already named bootanimation.zip but you'll have to rename another copy to bootanimation_sprint.zip, and ofcourse change permissions on both.
[Sprint LG G3] randyrampage609:
Ok it worked but it's in landscape mode can I just flip the images in the folder to portrait?
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
the resolution in the desc.txt file would have to be flipped as well(i think) but I don't know if it will look right either way in portrait mode. Landscape fits the videos natural resolution better than portrait....
[Sprint LG G3] randyrampage609:
Amy way to swap it to portrait not used to a boot ani in landscape
[Sprint LG G3] randyrampage609:
And it is amazing btw and the sound is good
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
I could swap it for you but in portrait its either going to be EXTREMELY warped or really small(think super widescreen mode). Think about watching videos on the phone in portrait mode and thats how its going to look. But if thats what you want i can flip the images around and edit the desc.txt file.
[Sprint LG G3] randyrampage609:
That's cool man I'll stick with this one for now until you come up with some more stuff hopefully some walking dead stuff in portrait but this one it's good for now
[Sprint LG G3] David_Marlow:
Boot ani

I've tried and tried and cannot get the boot animation to work. I have all the files in and the correct permissions. It just won't work. I get the LG splash screen then black screen then straight to my home screen.
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
And you deleted /carrier/cust/poweron and are on Sprint?
[Sprint LG G3] David_Marlow:
Yes, I deleted that folder. And I am on Sprint.
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
If you followed all the directions posted - I don't know why it isn't working. Wish I could be of more help but it worked for me and a bunch of other people.

Have you tried other bootanimations?
[Sprint LG G3] David_Marlow:
Yeah. I tried some from the ROM Toolbox Pro. Still no luck. I followed your instructions exactly but still no luck. I have no idea what the hell is going on? Lol. Thanks for trying to help though.
[Sprint LG G3] randyrampage609:
Any updates on more anis?

I hear you man anyway you can help me out I accidentally deleted the original system charging cable plug in and charge complete sounds can you copy yours and post them do I can download them?

Ps. I am using Pac man sounds for them now just would like to store them somewhere else after I rename them
[Sprint LG G3] randyrampage609:

[Sprint LG G3] randyrampage609:
Haha it's all good
[Sprint LG G3] JustusIV:
Now that we have recovery any chance of flashable versions?
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
I've honestly never made flashable versions of my bootanimations - I'm weird and prefer doing certain things manually - but I could look into it.
[Sprint LG G3] Mahapederdon:
Do we need to find out how to bump the flashable files or can we just flash something. I want to try some of the themed apps I found on another thread.

Edit. Here's a link

[Sprint LG G3] mrvoodoodaddy69:
Do we use the same file for the Power On and PowerOn_Sprint? Also thanks for turning me on to Solid Explorer. I like it, like it a lot.
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
Yep, same file two different names because Sprint likes being difficult, lol. And glad you're liking solid explorer, I think it just has an incredibly intuitive ui.
[Sprint LG G3] mrvoodoodaddy69:
I know it's the first one that I didn't have to think about. I'm gonna give these a try. The Doctor Who looks pretty sweet.
[Sprint LG G3] mrvoodoodaddy69:
I couldn't get the zip to work, went in and done it manually and worked out great. I was going to try out the walking dead one but the sound file was gone. the doctor who is awesome. Thanks :good:
[Sprint LG G3] mrvoodoodaddy69:
Ok now I have that down and I have been lurking on this forum. It appears that you have a good handle on the G3. Can you point a new guy in a direction to learn how to make these boot animations. An example and something to read usually covers me. What I am thinking I want is a shutdown animation of porky pig saying "that's all folks". Yeah that is ate up, but I am slightly twisted. Lol
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
Read through this thread here for some good g3 exceptions. Other than that, bootanimations are pretty simple. Here is a good general tutorial here.

I downloaded LG PC Suite and tried to do a back up but it says I have to put my phone in PC Suite mode. I have looked everywhere and cannot find a way to do this. I have all drivers installed and the PC Suite recognizes my phone but it won't allow me to sync or do a back up without being in PC Suite mode?

The reason I am doing this is to update my phone to 10M using that complete guide process someone else posted in the General Thread.

[Xposed General] 1Koncept:
So, I have an old droid x with the CM 11 rom on it and for some reason I can't get xposed to work now. I had to flash my rom again cause I got soft bricked after trying some status bar mod and now it won't work at all. I had it installed the first time and it was working with the snapshare module, but now all I get is the "framework not installed." I've tried installing but whenever i reboot I get soft bricked so I have to flash the rom again.
[Xposed General] pyler:
Try choose other installation type in Settings.
[Xposed General] 1Koncept:
Tried that, it installs but when I reboot I get soft bricked. I'm out of ideas other than to completely SBF back to original rom and flash all over again. I feel something may be corrupt. Is there an xposed folder somewhere on my phone that may be causing an error?
[Xposed General] 0xScott:
I only attempted to load Xposed on my DX for the first time today and couldn't get it to install, but I worked past the soft brick by booting into recovery and re-flashing my system ROM and gapps. (cwm-11-2014-0817-UNOFFICIAL-shadow.zip)

I tried flashing from TWRP and received the following message:

E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/cwm-Xposed.Framework.Installer.v.2.4.1.zip'

I made a backup this time and I'll see if I can figure out what's wrong.

Scott
[Xposed General] 0xScott:
I spent some time troubleshooting this evening, checked logs while attempting to flash, and found that the main issue was that the installer script thought that /system/ was at 100% capacity (0MB free). I disabled USB debugging (menu, settings, developer options, USB debugging) and was able to flash through TWRP. After rebooting, the Xposed Installer showed a newer version was available, so I used the app to install it without any problems. I installed a few modules and rebooted. Titanium Backup wanted me to switch USB debugging back on, so I did. Everything seems to be working (including XPrivacy).

Reminder: Make a full backup from recovery before *AND* after you get it working. Make sure you copy the backup to your computer in case you have to wipe the phone.

I hope this helps!

Thanks, I got it to work finally.. I've been trying for 2 weeks now so it feels quite rewarding.
