can i fastboot flash a rom or other zip? i've run into a problem after flashing a rom that wont boot and twrp wont mount data or my internal storage so i cant flash anything else. any help would be appretiated
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Roefastford:
I dont know how to do it, but have heard you can use the sideload feature of the twrp recovery to flash a rom. Or you could try flashing the new twrp recovery if your not on the new one. The new twrp 2.8.0.3 recovery was released on 9-30-14 last I checked its not updated on xda yet but you can get it on the twrp recovery web site which its on the link below, its the newest one on the bottom of the list.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
worse case scenario, run the RUU, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img then install ROM in recovery.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deefster:
Honestly, you might as well apply the whole RUU and get yourself back to a working stock before putting another custom ROM back on. Follow the OP in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2873144

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mechif:
Hi,

I just bought the lg g3 d852 in Canada. It's my first smart phone and I'm concerned with apps requiring so many permissions. I know appops is no longer open on 4.4.2. Have to root to control apps but voids warranty.

Is there an easy way to remove root if I need warranty work?

Does installing appops after root work well enough to control permssions on apps?

What other security measures can I use? I downloaded Eset trial for android. But is there anything else?

Is there a way to provide proper security in general and also from the apps wanting permission without rooting?

Thank you!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katsika:
i cant understand why you worry so much about the permissions. If you re so afraid you can login with fake accounts and just dont put any personal information.

To unroot you have to flash back to stock. Autoprime who has developed purple drake root has posted here hot to restore back to stock http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54254062&postcount=2
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Still_living714:
If you worry about your personal information being out there in 2014 there is one way you can't stop that. DON'T USE A PHONE or any device that connects to the Internet ?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mechif:
Thanks. I'm new at this. I don't understand what to log into and make a fake account? It's a concern of personal data accessible by apps that ask for too many permissions.

Can this be lessened somehow without rooting? What apps are good for security?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mechif:
Thanks. I'm not looking for a nuclear solution of don't use the Internet then you dont have to worry about security. I'm aware that we are all at risk. I'm just looking for some solutions that work well to minimize the inherent risks on the LG G3.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Still_living714:
its not really a risk. almost every app asks for some shady permissions. the only way to protect yourself is to not download them. other than that you cant do much
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meyerweb:
If you're willing to root, and are seriously concerned about this, install Xposed and XPrivacy. It can take some time to set up, but it's far more powerful than AppOps.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mechif:
Thanks. That's what I'm thinking of doing. I don't mind the way LG set up the launcher and software. If I root, does this change that? The only thing I don't like is I can't view the home screen and apps in landscape mode. I know there are launchers for that but I haven't found one I like...

[G Pad 8.3 General] unroot_:
Hey everyone,

today I got myself an LG G Pad 8.3 because I liked the hardware. Unfortunately, LG's software ist almost as bloated and ugly Samsung's [citation needed]. After a lot of searching through this forum and elsewhere i finally managed to get this tablet from KOT49I.V50020D (KK 4.4.2) to CM11. As all the other guides are for older versions/builds of the OS and never cover the whole process I'm trying to do a little tutorial here. It was a little harder than rooting my Nexus5, so I don't really recommend this for newbies.

Credits to the respective creators of the software, hacks and methods used in this Tutorial. I didn't do any coding or magic.

As always: No guarantee this will work for you!

I am not responsible for what you do with your tablet, phone or life.

The first thing I did was to root the G pad using IOroot (Credits to autoprime).

1.1. Enable Dev.-Options by clicking the build-number 7 times.

1.2. (while your G Pad is not connected to a PC) enable USB Debugging

1.3. Connect to your PC, You will need the LG Drivers

1.4 Unpack the Zip-File from the thread and open a commandline in the folder

1.5 Check communications using "adb devices"

1.6 "adb reboot recovery" to boot into recovery mode (obviously)

1.7 move to "apply update from adb" using the volume-rocker, select with the power button

1.8 (On your PC again) "adb sideload kk_root.zip"

1.9 The installer will do its thing, you should see "DAT ROOT" when finished

1.10 reboot your system (see 7.)

In the next step, you will install a custom recovery.

Or lets say, you will let a script install a custom recovery for you. (Credits to Drgravy, id10terror and samuraix21)

2.1. download the zip-file from id10terror's thread (his Step3). The download may be slow

2.2. unpack and right-click the *.bat-file -> Edit using an editor of your choice

2.3 change the letter at the end of the build-number according to samuraix21 (second post in his thread), then save

2.4 run the batch-file, the tablet will reboot after this step

2.5 put the newest version of TWRP on you G Pad's internal storage

2.6 repeat 1.5 and 1.6 to get into your new recovery

2.7 immediatly after the screen goes black, pull out the cable (for unknown reasons)

2.8 install -> select the recovery you just moved to the internal storage, swipe to confirm

2.9 wait until finished, go "home", reboot system

That was the hard part. Flashing CM or any customRom is fairly easy

3.1 Download the latest CM-Snapshot from here

3.2 Place that zip-file in the internal storage as you did with the TWRP-file. You can erase that one.

3.3 repeat 2.6 and 2.7

3.4 Wipe -> Swipe to confirm

3.5 Install the CustomROM as you did in 2.8. This might take a little longer.

3.6 see 2.9

3.7 The display might be very dark while booting. You can change later

If everything went right, your tablet now runs a rooted customROM =)

Sorry for this wall of text ;)
[G Pad 8.3 General] youngsta2010:
I rooted with Towelroot, simply install the app, click to root, install SuperSU from Play store, that's it. Nice n easy. Thanks for the guide.
[G Pad 8.3 General] hyperxguy:
Just got my refurbished V500 (OTA updated twice to latest stock 4.4.2)... Done rooting & installing TWRP 2.8.0.0 using the same steps as OP stated ... Easy enough.

I had my win7 systems previously prepared for my G2, so not a single issue with drivers.

Decided to stay with Stock LG (same as my G2) ... customed ROMs can stay on my N7s.

(note: remember to allow root-access to ADB, on the tablet. Also allow SuperSU to update its binary thru TWRP).

Thanks.

After step 2.7 my g pad enters stock recovery with the following errors at the bottom:

E:missing bitmap stage_empty

(Code -1)

E:missing bitmap stage_fill

(Code -1)

I got root access, edited the .bat file to V50020d and supposedly flashed ABOOT and Recovery correctly.

Any help would be appreciated! :D
[G Pad 8.3 General] hyperxguy:
I stopped at step 2.5 ... I used flashify app to reboot to recovery --> then updated TWRP to 2.8.0.0.

( At step 2.7, you already had TWRP 2.7.x.x)
[G Pad 8.3 General] Kenif1983:
Exact same happened to me.
[G Pad 8.3 General] usernamemio:
Yeah, that's the problem.. After step 2.7 I'm supposed to have TWRP, but I dont. It will just enter Stock recovery with those errors on the bottom.

I also tried Flashify to flash TWRP 2.7.1.0, but as soon as I try to enter recovery it just stays at the LG boot screen with the following error: Secure booting Error, Cause: boot certification verify.

I guess I'm out of luck here. :rolleyes:
[G Pad 8.3 General] usernamemio:
Found a fix (technically). Thanks to [MENTION=4640230]nlmensch[/MENTION] for the idea. :highfive:

Basically, I just downgraded to v50010b and installed TWRP from there.

Link for the .kdz files (I used United Kingdom V10B):

http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=39

After the downgrade, make sure to get root access for 4.2.2 and TWRP for your downgraded firmware.

Hope this helps. :good:
[G Pad 8.3 General] ememeh:
This all looks great, and I'm really thankful for the effort you've put in, but I'm stuck -- I don't know if I'm just being stupid! You said to download latest version of TWRP and put on SD card... but how? v500 isn't officially supported by TWRP, so where are people getting a copy? I looked but couldn't find it. Any help massively appreciated!!

Thanks

[EDIT: I was indeed being stupid. Worked out the relevant TWRP links were in Drgravy's threads. Many thanks :D )
[G Pad 8.3 General] Jordad:
I had the same problem with installing twrp as the others. To fix it I did a factory reset back to clean stock 4.4.2. After that the guide worked as intended and I was able to install twrp. (There must have been som app or update that interfered with twrp before. I don't know?)

To fix the dim screen when booting cm11 I installed mani.Kernel v19 in twrp after setting up cm.

Using cm I really like all the settings available, the standard navigation buttons and that the bug in stock rom that made youtube videos stutter is gone. Smooth playback. And batterylife seems better. Screen takes 75%.

Big thanks for the guide. I'm glad I followed it. And there's nothing wrong with it because I ran into the same problem with other guides.

Edit: I would recommend installing the Quick Boot app instead of rebooting to recovery using adb and yanking the USB-cable.
[G Pad 8.3 General] AndroidInsanity:
The TWRP part didn't work for me either. I ended up flashing a recovery image (TWRP) through flashify and it messed up my recovery and can no longer access it, luckily tablet is still working.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Wingchundub:
I really hope there are easier ways with errors etc to put a cwm recovery as it driving me nuts.

I didn't think i'd have so much trouble on an android as i have with these lg pads.

Should had stuck to samsung, but the hardware and price was just to be avoided and thus went for these slick gpad's

Mine is on 4.4.2 and rooted, just getting recovery to work is stopping me from having nice new roms :(

[G Pad 8.3 General] Deltadroid:
ADB is only installed on your computer. ADB allows you to open a remote shell on your pc to your tablet using the usb cable to connect them to either. You can use Terminal Emulator in place of ADB. You can also move files and change file permissions with Root Explorer also. You will need a shell to execute some commands and that can be done with ADB shell or a Terminal Emulator shell. Both are ok.

Installing custom recovery I can't see the option to "Install" I only see Updte from external/adb/cache.

I did what exactly is in the first post (although I rooted with towelroot, since ioroot got permission issues), but when I go this step and I expect to see the new "interface" with the install option:

2.8 install -> select the recovery you just moved to the internal storage, swipe to confirm

I just still see the stock recovery.

As a matter of interest, I see the in botton two things:

E:missing bitmap stage_empty

Code -1

E:missing bitmap stage_fill

Code -1

[Moto X Q&A] Wingdom:
I have searched and searched, and cant find the answer to this. I have Google Voice sms enabled in my Hangouts app but when I go to send a new text, my only option to send a text from is my Verizon number, and when someone sends a text to my Google Voice number, it says "Send an SMS to ... from my Verizon Wireless number". How do I send a text in the Hangouts app FROM my Google Voice number? The little SMS button in the lower left where you switch between Hangouts and SMS does not have an option for my Google Voice number. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[Moto X Q&A] EVOSerb:
Go to settings in Hangouts > SMS > tap on "Send SMS from" and choose your Google voice number instead of your Verizon number. P.s. There is a bug with "smart reply" option. If you choose that then hangouts automatically chooses Google voice number as your default number and there is no way to switch between your number and Google voice number. Unless you do it manually thru settings.
[Moto X Q&A] Wingdom:
Is it only one or the other, I cant have one conversation on my Verizon number, and the next one on my Google Voice number, and bounce between them without going into settings?
[Moto X Q&A] EVOSerb:
Unfortunately no. At least that i know of. Switching them in settings is the only way around it so far.
[Moto X Q&A] Wingdom:
*sign* Thanks for the response. I was hoping they would actually let you select which number to use for individual message threads, for those of us that use both numbers. Oh well. Back to the Google Voice app.

This should be universal on any VZ LTE phone, and requires a Google Voice number. This is working out great for me so far, but I live and work in a LTE saturated area (DC Metro), and have unlimited data plan.

Download TelInfo from Google Play.

Install Hangouts and Hangouts Dialer.

Turn on call forwarding via the My Verizon webpage. None of the dial codes (*71, 72, 90, etc) worked for me.

In TelInfo, set the network to LTE only. Your CDMA connection will be shut off. I'm not sure if the radio shuts off, but you will not be able to dial out using the default telephony dialer, or send and receive SMS from your VZ number.

I'll follow up with additional links and info. Test it out, hit thanks if it worked for you.
[Verizon LG G2] funkybrunk:
Well, it seems like this is having the opposite of the intended effect. I thought that this would save battery, but instead eats more because the radio isn't turned off. Cell standby is the biggest battery hog in my battery stats when set to LTE only.

I have the Samsung GalaxyS5 from Verizon. Recently I noticed I have been getting notification sound/vibrate when I don't even get a notification. I have tried what seems to be everything and just can't seem to get it to stop. I also noticed that it happens every 5 minutes - on the dot. Even when I put my phone on silent it still vibrates. I know this in right, I'm thinking I have some type of bug or virus. I have the Verizon Protect which scans for viruses and such. According to that, I have nothing wrong. I had a system update which I installed a week ago. This hasn't been happening for that long, only about 2 days. But every 5 minutes exactly I get the sound of a text, with no text.

If anyone has any idea I am up to all options. I have went through numerous threads on different websites and nothing seems to be working for me.

I just need someone with a bit more tech skills than what I have!!

Please help me out. Thanks a bunch!!!!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
It's not so easy to identify an app that make a notification sound/vibration. Just some suggestions:

- If there is any notification message on the notification bar, long tap on it and select "App info" to see it belong to which app.

- Check yourself what apps you have installed recently. Try to uninstall some apps that you suspect.

- Use Permission Explorer to check for apps that have "Vibrate" permission.

[General Questions and Answers] Freewaymad:
Hi,

How do I save my kernel configuration as the default settings when building a kernel ? I use this:

$ make menuconfig

I save the settings when asked, but how do I make them the default settings so I don't have to keep going back and setting it all up again? When I build a kernel the settings are saved, but when I build a boot.img or do a:

$ make distclean

the settings revert back to what they were originally. What am I missing? Please help.

Thanks,
[General Questions and Answers] Freewaymad:
Problem solved!!!!!

I went through the process of setting up to build a kernel. I then entered the following commands:

$ make distclean

$ make <NAME>_defconfig

$ make menuconfig

After getting all my settings the way I wanted them, instead of exiting all the way to the "save settings yes or no", I exited to the main or home screen and hit the "Save an Alternate Configuration File". Then I named the file. This was saved in the "kernel" directory (by default). I went into the kernel/arch/arm/configs folder and renamed the (in my case) "imx6_defconfig" and "imx6_android_defconfig" files to "original_ imx6_defconfig" and "original_imx6_android_defconfig" (to keep the originals). I then took the Alternate Configuration file in the kernel directory and copied the contents and created my own "imx6_defconfig" and "imx6_android_defconfig" files in the kernel/arch/arm/configs folder. Now my settings are saved as the default settings (unless I go through this process again). I now can build a "rom" or a "boot.img". I can do a:

$ make distclean

and then:

$ make imx6_android_defconfig

I do not have to use the:

$ make menuconfig

to reset my settings.
