[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4901200:
I can't get any method to root my 4.4.2 build v50020d G Pad V500. Just did this to my Galaxy S4 the other day and it was dead simple and fast with Odin.

Tried rootjunkies 1 click, kingo, and other stuff, its been over a full day of frustration after my desktop won't install USB drivers and had to use laptop, after which LG mobile support tool wouldn't work until it started to half work but after errors and completion would not revert back to stock 4.2.2.

I had it rooted months ago but couldn't flash any recoveries with the new build and now lost my root access after trying everything possible.

Could someone provide me with a script to root with super SU so i can stall TWRP and CM11. Thank you

Use the towel root app, its the easiest way.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4901200:
amazing... it worked... Installed Super Su, now i get secure booting error! cause: boot certification verify

Even though it said recovery flash successful it doesn't work.

Found the V50020_aboot_twrp_v2 method, except even after changing name in the script to V50020d, it crashes saying adb is not an internal or external command and does nothing...

Download the above file and place it in /sdcard on your device. Using adb shell or terminal emulator:

su

dd if=/sdcard/recoveryfilename.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

Make certain that you get this command right. Typing the wrong number could result in a brick!

I tried it, denied permission. Its as if i have twrp installed alreadybut cant boot in it
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4901200:
OK, this is officially stupid now, I have tried every single XDA page on the LG G Pad 8.3 and still nothing can flash a working TWRP NO MATTER WHAT!!!

I have gotten from Secure Boot Error, to Fastboot Loader, to soft brick, to factory reset and nothing can launch the TWRP logo.

I've made sure DEVELOPERS OPTIONS are ENABLED, LG MOBILE DRIVERS INSTALLED, USB DEBUGGING is CHECKED, and computer is AUTHORIZED and decision is REMEMBERED.

Root dead simple with towelroot, 1 click.

.......works

Used Kit Kat SD Fix to write to SD card.

....... works

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tried FLashify to install TWRP both from local .img and the online download, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.801 and neither work.

....... this yielded secure boot error!

Tried Manual Terminal Emualtor commands from TWRP website by copy/pasting, and trying each of the 4 versions above (yes i renamed and saved on both SD and external SD, and made sure command included renamed name)

....... this yielded the bootloader brick with "fastboot enabled."

Tried V50020_aboot_twrp_v2 script by editing the batch file from v50020b to v50020d and ran as administrator

....... this yielded nothing as adb won't run and just closes (no permission)

Tried lg_g_pad_8.3_v500_twrp 1 click install from rootjunkies (I don't think its for the V50020d build)

....... regardless, didn't work at all

Tried FACTORY RESET

....... same problems as above

Tried LG Mobile SUpport Tool Recovery Upgrade to flash stock after failed attempts

....... same problems as above. Reverts back to stock recovery + 4.4.2 and build V50020d

I think' I've exhausted pretty much everything, it should not be this painful to put a damn recovery.

I haven't been able to revert to 4.2.2

, couldn't find a way, could someone tell me if theres a way to revert build to original, as shipped from LG so i can use the 1 click method by rootjunkies???
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rxenergy:
Edit the runme.bat file from V50020_aboot_twrp_v2.zip to say v50020d instead of v50020a and it'll do the trick.

so this bit of info

if %FWVER%==4.4.2 (
if /I %MODEL%==LG-V500 (
if /I %FWBUILD%==KOT49I.V50020a (
GOTO CheckSUif %FWVER%==4.4.2 (
if /I %MODEL%==LG-V500 (
if /I %FWBUILD%==KOT49I.V50020a (
GOTO CheckSU

should look like this when you're done:

if %FWVER%==4.4.2 (if %FWVER%==4.4.2 (
if /I %MODEL%==LG-V500 (
if /I %FWBUILD%==KOT49I.V50020d (
GOTO CheckSU

Tried this already as stated above. Either way went back and tried again, FAILED, just closed in my computer.

Tried ONE MORE time because im stubborn, this time it worked for the FIRST TIME, said successful at end. Rebooted Recovery said Secure Boot Error! As I'm typing this finally booted into TWRP!!!!!! SUCCESSS!>!>!>!

I have no idea what is going on with this thing, it just worked all of a sudden. I'l probably write a guide for new V50020d users after all the hassle this has given me.

Hi,

I have just seen this:

http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=777_6&products_id=101120

it is quite a good deal, and although i currently have only a half-full 2gb sd card, i think if i get one of these then i can consider using my m600 as a media player.

just wondering, does it have to say 'sdhc' for it to be sdhc?

thanks!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] hannip:
No, I would say most 4gb sd cards in use are not sdhc. It should say sdhc if it is sdhc.

[Huawei Ascend P7] DJ BlackEagle:
Hello,

I need a big help.

I have rooted my phone and instaled TWRP 2.7.x.x.

Now I wanted, to reset the phone fully stock.

I flashed the stock revovery. It was starting one time.

I started the phone normaly and made an "Reset to default manufacture settings" including remove user data etc.

The phone restarted to the recovery. Recovery mode formats the cache and user partition. Then it's restarted normaly.

Eveything was working normal.

I tried to instal the Huawei firmware update. The phone restarted to the recovery. But before the phone entering the recovery mode, the notifaction LED starting blinking (green, red, green, red etc.). After a time, I can only press for the boot mode or shutdown the phone.

After reseting the phone, the bootloader is locked.

The phone is still rooted. ;)

My phone is Huawei Ascend P7 L10

The flashing the stock recovery was commited with "OK".

How I can get the recovery mode working again?
[Huawei Ascend P7] 87insane:
Hi,

if you want to go stock recovery flash it via ADB and than install a stock Firmware via dload method.

Than you have full stock with working recovery.
[Huawei Ascend P7] DJ BlackEagle:
I have flashed the recovery via adb three times. But the same results. Only twrp was perfectly working.
[Huawei Ascend P7] alexkno:
Hi, as you are still rooted, flash recovery.IMG as recovery via flashify app (play store).

Works perfect for me with the stock recovery.IMG from twrp2.8.8,0 thread (only recovery.IMG, not all other stuff in there as boot, recovery2 etc)

Then I try to enter the recovery mode. The led blink three times green and then one time red. And then green three times etc....

The same with twrp now.

Where are you Form? In german i can beter help.

You are doing anything wrong! have you quite sure the correct recovery.IMG? are your ADB drivers correctly and correctly installed?
[Huawei Ascend P7] DJ BlackEagle:
Germany. :)

I got working again. Thanks for the help
[Huawei Ascend P7] alexkno:
Could you all of us let know the solution?
[Huawei Ascend P7] DJ BlackEagle:
I was going this way:

1. I unlocked my phone with RootGenius again. Then SuperSu ask root permission for adb, reject root permission. So that's RootGenius thinks it's not rooted.

2. I flashed the stock recovery again.

3. Recovery works again.

I think on the first flashing, second flashing of the stock recovery. Was something hanging in the recovery. After the third flashing, the bootloader was locked again. And then I made the way above. And then it was working again normally.

Have the same problem with starting my Huawei X1. Red LED lights up one time, green 3 times. This cycle repeats two times. Fastboot is accessable and I have extracted the original recovery.img, boot.ing and system.img from B102 image. Flashing works, so far I can believe the status message from fastboot. But there is no change. I can enter into fastboot modus or can perform the boot loop.

Has anyone a solution for fixing?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCustomFabricator:
Ok guys and girls I am pretty new at rooting a phone and the only reason I did was to see f I can use this Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900R4 from US Cellular. I called Samsung and was told to call US Cellular to find out how to use the phone on another network. US Cellular told me that the simcard reader would not read a sim card from another carrier. I installed my working Net10 sim card and the phone sys invalid sim card and does not ask for an unlock code, it just continues to say invalid sim card and I obviously have no network. I rooted the phone with CF-Auto Root and everything went well and SuperSU is installed. Phone still says invalid sim card and will not give me a network. I know settings can be changed with a rooted phone but don't know how to change these settings to make the phone use my network sim card. I use Net10 and he sim card works in my Galaxy S2 but I would very much like to use my new S5 phone. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Beakhole:
Hey, guys!! I love Titanium Backup Pro. It works amazingly well every time I flash to a new ROM. I also like to restore my user apps and date via the "update.zip" option in Titanium Backup. Now, every time I create the update.zip file, it's by default placed in /storage/sdcard0/. I have searched and searched through the preferences of the app and I can't find an answer to this question: Is it possible to change the default path of where the update.zip is placed when it's created? Namely, I'd like to have it created/placed right to a specific folder on my SD card located at /storage/extSdCard/Backup/.

Any feedback/answers/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biglil1:
I see no option like this unless I too have over looked it. I'd say that after creating the update.zip you'll have to manually move it to your desired location.

Going into preferences, then backup folder location, then clicking on detect won't let you do that?

No. That's where I can choose where to backup my apps to but I can't find where to choose where to place the update.zip file that's created when I zip up my current app backups.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] elorimer:
I have Goodlink 4.8 on my MDA. For some reason 'Contacts' in my Pocket Outlook is now pointing to my Good Contacts file, instead of the Pocket Outlook contacts. The Calendar, Tasks, Messaging go to the right files, instead of the Good equivalents. Is there a registry entry or something that I could edit to point Pocket Outlook back to its Contact information?

Basically, I want to be able to edit the Pocket Outlook contacts. I use them principally because that is where Voice Command and voice tags search.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] elorimer:
I wonder if someone without Goodlink installed could tell me where their \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Pocket Outlook\Contacts.lnk points to.

Goodlink changes this to its own file and I'm trying to change it back.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mmeyer4663:
I am running Goodlink 4.9.1.46

I am using POutlook Contacts in conjuction with Goodlink. Much better implementation that Goodlink contacts.

My shortcut has a defined target of :

poutlook.exe contacts
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] elorimer:
Thanks. That target doesn't cause anything to run when I use it, so I think Goodlink has messed with something else as well. I'm going to see what is involved in upgrading to 4.9, since you are successfully doing exactly what I want to achieve.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mmeyer4663:
Let me look some more. There might have been a reg tweak also. It has been awhile since I set this up.

Thankfully, Goodlink for me will be going away soon in favor of corp push!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mmeyer4663:
CRAP! Mine reverted to Goodlink for some reason today!

I have a buddy at work that has the original contacts.lnk. I am going to try his and see what happens. If they work, I'll let you know.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mmeyer4663:
Found a solution.

Get Total Commander.

Go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Pocket Outlook in TCM

Copy\Move Tasks.lnk to Contact.lnk

Hold down on the new Contacts.lnk and select properties.

Go to the Shortcut tab and change poutlook.exe tasks to poutlook.exe contacts then click ok.

with Contacts.lnk still selected, open notpad and change MSTASKS to MS CONTACTS and the last set of digits to -10000

This should restore use of Poutlook contacts when you open from home screen or Start/Programs/Pocket Outlook/Contacts.

I have not found out how to change the soft key contacts from Goodlink Contacts to Pocket Outlook contacts yet.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] elorimer:
Tried this but it didn't work for me. Interestingly, everytime I clicked the icon (which started Goodlink Contacts), it changed the .lnk target back to Goodlink!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mmeyer4663:
Strange. The reason I had to figure how to change mine back was theat, for some reason, the links went back to Goodlink. Guess we'll se how long mine lasts this time. Had been working for months being able to access Pocket Outllok version of contacts.

Sorry.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] zakdeutsch:
My old solution

I used to use this solution, but i've ditched goodlink for DirectPush.

If you navigate in the registry to

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\

you can modify the string of one of the hardware keys to

"\Windows\poutlook.exe" contacts

That will launch Pocket Outlook Contacts. I have used my voice command key because i never use voice command.

Alternatively, you could create a shortcut that passes the argument -contacts when it executes poutlook.exe.

I hope that helps!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] elorimer:
That worked! Thanks.

So strange....

Workaround to Change back to Pocket Outlook settings after installing Goodlink email

Workaround to Change back to your original Pocket Outlook settings after installing GoodLink email

1. Rename the files in attached images ( as I have renamed the files by prepending 1 in both "Mydevice\Program Files\GoodLink" and "Mydevice\Windows" ). This will allow you to use Pocketoutlook contacts as main contacts instead of goodlink contacts app. This change doesn’t impact the installed goodconacts application.

2. Change below settings to send sms directly by selecting a contact in Pocket Outllook. This workaround goes directly to Mobile SMS instead of GoodEmail.

HLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS\1 = GoodEmail.exe

Change to 1 = tmail.exe

3. Change below settings to have your Main Menu go directly to Pockect Contacts instead of Good Contacts.

HLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS\ 1 = GoodContacts.exe

Change to 1 = :MSPOUTLOOK contacts

Enjoy Pocket Outlook,
