BUMP Install Question...

Having trouble with #4 command (bold) below... I am 100 percent certain I have the .img file saved to a 'sdcard' folder on the internal device storage, but i keep getting a 'cannot open file for read: No such file or directory' error (so it's clearly not looking in the right place...). Where specifically do I need to be dropping the .img file? Thanks in advance. I know that this is a stupid question...

Instructions:

Download the file linked below to your computer

Set your phone to Ethernet (needed for VZW!) mode, and copy the downloaded file to your phone's INTERNAL SD Card

Open a command prompt window on your computer, and run these commands one at a time (YOU WILL GET AN 'out of space' ERROR ON THE ZERO PART, IGNORE IT!) - copy and paste them if you must :

Code:

adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

dd if=/sdcard/twrp-2.8.0.0_vs985-signed.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

Easy, right? You can now get into recovery as follows:

Power off the phone, and unplug USB

Hold Volume Down + Power

Continue holding both Volume Down and Power until you see the LG logo, then the "System Recovery" screen (if you have Bump installed, it won't erase your data, don't worry!) This is different for VZW, no need to release power button!

Press Volume Down and then power to select "Factory Data Reset"

Press Volume Down, then Power to confirm

Congrats!

Maybe you have a bad download. Question are you on 10b or 11c?
[Verizon LG G3] CapnKrunchy:
Updates and exFAT

As far as I can tell, the only version supplied in the OP is 2.8.0.0. If I'm not mistaken, this version doesn't support SD cards formatted in exFAT (at least not for me). Is there any way to get this version to detect exFAT so I don't have to deal with the file size limitations on FAT32? If not, is there any way I can update to a version that does support exFAT?
[Verizon LG G3] GillRigged:
Or better yet, get us a more recent version of TWRP going with a fix for the SD card issue.
[Verizon LG G3] bauerat02:
Since Verizon removed the Ethernet option in 12B, do I have to downgrade back to 10B to Bump to unlock? Currently I am on 12B, am rooted and have TWRP installed, just did not Bump it at that time, but would like to know how to do it now. Thanks!
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
bump is the only way, and its actually a work around. there is no way to truly unlock.

all the roms in the verizon forum are bumped, and in general g3, if its for vs985 its bumped.

no one would put one out for us thats not bumped, because we couldnt use it.

yes normal flash wiping.
[Verizon LG G3] christianstudebaker:
Thank you for your response! So say I download a rom from somewhere besides xda such as cyanogen, paranoid android, or aokp respective websites, they will work?
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
yes, if its for our device it has to be bumped, or there is no point in making it.

Flashing Blue + Red Light

Android 4.4.2 Build: KVT49L.VS98510B

I was able to run the correct commands through ADB but when I do a factory reset the screen goes black and the lights flash red/blue. I pull the battery and it boots up normally.

I rooted my phone a long time ago with Stump and eventually locked update because I didn't want to go to Lollipop. Now I'm not really sure what my options are. I have the latest version of TWRP 2.8.7 installed and can boot to it but I haven't tried to flash any ROMs in fear of bricking the phone. Jasmine and SkyDragon seem to want a Bumped version of TWRP.

Any advise for my situation?

Trouble with BUMP - dd - cannot open for write : Permission denied

Verizon LG G3 - Trying to install BUMP - I was able to use adb push command to successfully write "twrp-2.8.0.0_vs985-signed" file to /sdcard/ in device. When using the "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery" command, error shows "cannot open for write : Permission denied"
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
maybe the commands will work in adb if you have root, i really dont know.

i do know they work in terminal emulator though.
[Verizon LG G3] raceguy23:
I do, in fact, have root access... Just check with root checker
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
i see they do suggest using adb, i just looked, i didnt remember that.

you can either try terminal emulator, thats what i used, or use flashify.

other than that, i dont know what else to suggest.
[Verizon LG G3] raceguy23:
Got it using flashify, thank you!!
[Verizon LG G3] RBarnett09:
I've always had this issue but now it's getting old. Hopefully someone can help.

I cannot perform a nandroid backup. Fails every time.

I'm on 23C using TWRP v2.8.7.0

Error code I get in recovery:

E:createTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Do you get the issue trying to backup to both internal and external?
[Verizon LG G3] RBarnett09:
I can't backup to internal due to full memory, so I'm attempting to backup to external memory.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Is your TWRP updated to one of the latest versions, 2.8.7.0 or 3.0.0? Next time you try to make a backup use TWRP's Copy Log to SD Card function (in Advanced menu) and attach the log here. Have you tried Googling for the error message it gives?

Do you have another MicroSD card to try? Try reformatting your card from the device in FAT32?
[Verizon LG G3] RBarnett09:
I'm using TWRP v2.8.7.0. I am trying to flash to a newer update because my issue with 23C is that my SD card is only readable in recovery. When I boot the phone up, my phone acts as if there is no SD card in my phone. The option to mount it is greyed out and not selectable. I've tried mounting it with terminal emulator and still no luck. I've read into it and see that not reading the SD card was a software issue with the 23C OTA.

So the whole reason why I'm trying to make a nandroid is for that "just in case" reason if something goes wrong trying to flash something over it. Card will not format to FAT32 since I use a 64GB memory card. I have one backup stored to it from where it worked one time. Now it's not backing up at all.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I didn't have a problem with my card on 23C. It sounds to me like the problem from within Android and from within TWRP are related. There are ways to get a 64GB card to format, and it should format fine from within running Android/Linux, it's only a problem on Windows although if you format it to 32GB in Windows and then use a partition program to change the size of the partition to 64GB, it should still be okay.

Of course, you could also try ExFAT from Windows, but I'd format it from within Android first.
[Verizon LG G3] RBarnett09:
I tried backing up with another card. Same error. :/
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
What about reformatting a card?

You could try flashing another copy of TWRP. Since you already have the phone set up to be able to use TWRP, in this case you can use TWRP Manager to reinstall it again without a problem.

I'm afraid the only other advice I'm left with is starting from scratch. Flash the 10B KDZ with LG Flash Tool with the CSE option (which wipes data and internal storage), root with the Stump app, use TWRP Manager to put TWRP on, then flash your ROM of choice again. I've never encountered this problem.

Rooting and putting TWRP on get more complicated after 10B.
[Verizon LG G3] RBarnett09:
I used a newly FAT32 formatted 32gb card. :/

Thanks for the help and advice though man. At this point, I'll probably just flash to a new update and take my chance. Hopefully it goes well and the issue with the SD card will be solved. Lol.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Sure, good luck! At least sometimes with weird issues like this, it takes starting completely from scratch to resolve it, but I hope it's more easily solvable in your case. :)
[Verizon LG G3] RBarnett09:
Hopefully my dude. I'm about to flash the 35B bootstack and then flash over to the stock 46A firmware. Wish me luck.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Any luck?
[Verizon LG G3] RBarnett09:
All the luck. Everything seems good except my camera will not save anything to a memory card. When I take a picture to save to external memory, I get a "failure to write file" error toast message.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Great to hear!

I heard Marshmallow changed some things with the SD card again, and some others in the 46A firmware thread have reported problems although I haven't. I don't use my SD card for photos though, I use internal storage since it's faster, and I use a couple of cloud services and apps to automatically back up my photos when I'm on WIFI, so I have no fear of losing them if I have to wipe internal storage, or delete them to make room.

Try a Play Store app for something like "KitKat SD Fix" and see if it helps?
[Verizon LG G3] RBarnett09:
I saw that also. I was scared to try the app due to the differences in KitKat and Marshmallow.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
If you do a backup and try it, there won't be any harm - you can always restore the backup.
[Verizon LG G3] RBarnett09:
IF my phone will perform a backup... lol. Haven't tried yet.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
That's what I was asking about earlier. I thought that was the main object of trying that ROM. I thought you said it's fixed.
[Verizon LG G3] RBarnett09:
The issue was my phone wasn't allowing nandroid backups. Also it wasn't reading the SD card when it was powered up past recovery... which that is now fixed.

Now my issue is the camera won't allow me to save pictures to the SD card becaus of the "failed to write file" error. And I'm doubting I'll be able to perform nandroids still. I'll try it later and report back as far as the nandroid backup goes. But still trying to find a solution to the camera not saving to SD.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Sounds like the restoring back to stock unrooted to begin with will be necessary.
[Verizon LG G3] RBarnett09:
You may be right. Just tried to create a nandroid backup. Failed with same error code. :/

Hi all,

I'm a new Z3 owner, coming from a HTC M7. This is my first time with on-screen buttons and unfortunately, am not liking them so far. It's fine on the home screen, because they're transparent. But when in an app, the black bar takes up valuable screen space. Hate it. Any way to make them transparent everywhere or just hide them and bring them back with a swipe?? Why isn't this programmed in there already!?!?

Thanks in advanced.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
You can hide them on the G3, but I dont think thats possible on the Z3. Flashing a ROM with support for this should fix the issue.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkRyoushii:
Not possible without flashing a custom ROM, unfortunately there aren't many custom ROMs available yet and you will lose a lot of features (as well as permanently reducing your camera's performance) if you go this route.

Try and get used to them, they are designed so that each app can take advantage of them differently.

Browsing through your images or playing a game, watching videos using the Play Movies or VLC app all make them disappear automatically as you describe.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madgalaxy:
There are several apps on in the Play store that will force immersive mode without root, just search "immersive mode". I have used the one by "Pieter Pareit" and it works quite well on most apps. If these darn app developers would start supporting immersive mode this would not be an issue. Better yet, it would be nice if Google had an option to select apps you want to run in immersive mode (like G2/G3).

I have had several issues with the 4.4.2 OTA update on my I747 . The most annoying is the battery drain and "hot phone syndrome" which apparently is a bug related related to the camera daemon. Details can be found here http://tinyurl.com/KK-Batt

My goal is to throw 4.4.2 in the bit bucket and go back to stock 4.3 (when life was perfect), however I am leery of the older ROM's running on the newer NE4 bootloader and modem. I have done much reading on XDA for the past week :eek: (scortched eyeballs) but haven't found a 4.3 ROM that gives me any confidence ( they all state specifically to flash the MJB or MJ2 level firmware)

Has anyone sucessfully accomplished running 4.3 on the new NE4 bootloader / modem ?

I read a post from [MENTION=4081205]DocHoliday77[/MENTION] that said this "should" be possible .....but I cannot afford a brick. The phone is my ISP, as I have no cable or DSL available , just a mediocre LTE signal from ATT (for which I am grateful)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You can flash any ROM you like as long as the ROM does not attempt to flash a new bootloader or modem.

The reason many ROMs require the 4.3 bootloader and modem is the fact that the ROM requires these two things to function properly.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] oidDroid:
Thanks for the response audit13 , that all makes perfect sense ..... I was hoping maybe someone out there had suffered the same plight and tried this solution.

I read that the problem won't be corrected until android "L" (they attempted to fix it in 4.4.3 but failed). To me this is like Ebola for Android so I don't understand the lack of urgency by Google to correct it ??? Also, one would think a developer would have suffered this plague and been motivated to fix it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
This is not necessarily a Google problem. Samsung ROMs use Samsung kernels, not stock Google kernels.

Samsung is on 4.4.2 while custom ROMs are at 4.4.4.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] oidDroid:
Yes but the problem exists in the Nexus line as well, looks like Sam inherited it in the source code. I have thought about trying a different kernel , but IDK if the problem is with the kernel or the daemon or a combination of both.

[MENTION=4673498]audit13[/MENTION] since I am mostly a NOOB here maybe you can help me. I am about to try a custom ROM but am leery that they may mess with my bootloader and modem (NE4) is that possible or typical when you flash a ROM? or do they always state it if they do?
