did you solve ur problem

if Yes

Plz share :)

would like to know about it also
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
You didn't show it (so I could be wrong) but if I had to guess the issue lay in the HDMI to Cat6 Converter that may not be passing the proper handshaking the CCast needs.

Could even be an issue with HDCP not being supported which might stop the CCast from creating an output.

Not sure why a Cat6 cable would have an HDMI connector on it.... So perhaps I'm wrong in thinking you are using such a converter.

Cable length is also a very good candidate but the HDMI to Cat6 converter (if used) should negate that as it amplifies the signal and regenerates to proper levels on the other side of the Cat 6 (at least it should)

You tried everything (sounds like it anyway) except perhaps plugging into the box that has the Cat6 going to the projector.

Plugging directly into the cable probably wouldn't work and I'm not sure why it would have that HDMI connector (hence my above confusion)

If there is a box on one end of the cable that goes to the Projector, unless it is an amplifier there is probably also another box at the other end. Bypassing the first box would break the communication as it is likely doing something the end box needs to get the signal.

So I would try plugging into that box that has the Cat6 that goes to the Projector and not directly into the cable that goes to it.

If you tried that then I'm not sure what to try next other than directly plugging into the Projector and seeing if it is even capable of displaying a CCast at all.
[Google Chromecast] miked63017:
Did you plug it into external power, or only into HDMI? Also did the light come on on the device when you plugged into the hdmi ? I have had mixed results with using adapters, but the power question isn't clear from op unless I missed it.
[Google Chromecast] Sithlyone:
Yes I plugged into power. Yes the light did come on the cc, even when I used the coupler.

I only mentioned the cat6 because I was told that cat6 was run between the sound booth and the projector. Where exactly it transfers from hdmi to cat6 idk, I can't see that portion. I will look at it again tonight and investigate this. I will also attempt to connect directly into the projector to see if it recognizes the signal from cc.
[Google Chromecast] Sithlyone:
Ok I just checked and the HDMI cable goes into the wall before it connects to the CAT6, so I can't connect to or observe the connection there. However at the projector there is an HDMI outlet that the HDMI cable is plugged iinto.

I told a couple pics, I'll post later.

I then connected the CC directly into the projector and it worked pperfectly. This is not a viable option normally because of two reasons.

1. It is a ceiling mount and it would to much of an inconvenience to climb up and down every time I needed to connect to the projector.

2. The sound is played through the projector and not the sound system. The sound is spit off at the sound booth in the converter box not at the projector.

I need to be able to plug the CC into that converter for this to be able to work properly.

Any other idea's or suggestions?

Thanks
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Is the HDMI in the wall a cable plugged into a connector or just a cable coming through the wall?

If just a cable coming through, then you need to trace where that goes and plug into whatever it is plugged into to see if you get signal (Audio we can deal with later we just need to find out what is killing the video)

If the Tech is correct and there is an HDMI over Cat6 converter being used it could be an HDCP issue.

In either case something in the HDMI chain between the projector and the CCast is not sending a proper return signal the CCast needs.
[Google Chromecast] Sithlyone:
Thanks so much.

Unfortunately I can't get to what the cable is connected to. It is a cable just go into the wall, it is in the wall or ceiling and I don't have access to it.

I'm not sure by what you mean when you say HDCP issue.

Also the Apple TV works perfectly over these connections. Does CC have different needs?
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
HDCP stands for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. It's an anti Piracy system that uses encrypted Keys on both the content source (CCast in this case) and output device (projector). If the CCast does not see a proper HDCP output device it may not display a signal. This really shouldn't apply to the CCast Default screen but it might.

As for the difference between the AppleTv and CCast, I am not sure but what I do know is the CCast needs a return signal from the output device to know what screen mode to display. You have so many devices between the CCast and the Projector it sounds like it may not be getting that information.

And HDMI over Cat5 converters are the most usual culprit in these cases.
[Google Chromecast] Sithlyone:
Thanks so much, do you know of another device out there that will allow me to Screencast or mirror in the way I need it to? Other than apple tv?

thanks so much
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Well you could try a Miracast dongle...

But your question poses another....

Were you trying to mirror at the time you got no signal?

Of was you just plugging in and expecting to see the default CCast screen?

Cause when Mirroring the CCast uses the resolution of the Mobile device and perhaps your Projector does not support that?

I am going to assume thats not the issue and were merely plugging in the CCast before attempting to put it into Mirror mode.

Truth of the matter is they are better off removing the Cat6 converter as it really is only needed for very long cable runs and what you describe would probably work better by just running a long HDMI cable to the Projector.

An HDMI Amp in the line would even be better than the Cat5 Converter because there would be no delay in signal that happens when the Cat5 converter converts from one to the other.
[Google Chromecast] Sithlyone:
The projector is about 50 feet or so from the converter box.

I can't add anything to the equipment that is already installed, I can only bring a casting device.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
I understand I'm just pointing out that whoever designed their system really over engineered it and added a ton of stuff they don't really need.

50Ft is not too long of a throw for a straight HDMI cable run.

And considering how they did things it really could be anything screwing with you and most likely something in the signal chain you can't see or get to.

SO unless you have a device with an HDMI output you are probably not going to get a signal.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Projectors often don't return correct EDID information. EDID specifies that resolutions/formats the device supports.

There are devices that plug in between and provide/override EDID information like Dr. HDMI and HDMI Detective but both units cost significantly more than the Chromecast itself. ;)
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Yes but (I think) in this case they get picture when directly connecting to the projector which suggests the projector is communicating properly but something in the signal path is killing the communication when he plugs in via their multiple converter box system...

Since they have bypassed everything except the Cat 6 Converter I have to believe that is the culprit.

[G3 General] GVA_9:
I just flashed mine, everything seems OK, just at the end LG Flash Tool showed "Waiting for reset 120 sec", phone restarted and setup screen showed up.

Then LG Flash Tool showed error message "download failed" and "USB port open fail", but phone works well. Any idea why this happened?
[G3 General] kalunlee:
Don't try to flash other LG G3 to this version. It only works for D857 or D858 to D858HK. These are the dual sim version and all have the same hardware.

Not sure what happened to the links but you can try the links in the original post

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/help/d857-gapps-t2882412/page3

You can ignore the fail message at the end, it happened to one of the phones that I flashed too.
[G3 General] kingcedz:
That's not actually accurate. OTA on D858HK are IMEI based, so even the D857 (or mainland D858) is flashed into D858HK, it won't receive any OTA notification still,as your IMEI will be designated to D857.

I'm not exactly sure if there s any way to side load the OTA without root/flash Tot, I hope someone will find a way when new OTA files are available for this.
[G3 General] DomFel:
You're partially correct. OTAs are theoretically IMEI based, but it has to match the installed firmware and firmware keys of the device, in this case you'll have 858HK keys, thus 858HK OTA.

On the G2 I changed firmware successfully twice to change the region (thus enabling few needed LTE bands), and it got two OTAs for that region, not for the original one.

Time will tell BTW!
[G3 General] freejess:
Hi ! you mean by firmware installed 4G frequencies can change?
[G3 General] DomFel:
That's what happened with the G2. Couldn't get 4G in the UAE with Open EUR firmware. Switched to UAE firmware and got LTE!
[G3 General] freejess:
Ah! This is great news. Maybe I'll get one of Australia will have plenty of 800mhz LTE as I was certifed seller ...
[G3 General] DomFel:
Be careful, you can't flash a D855 firmware into a D857/858/859 phone! You'll brick it!!
[G3 General] autoprime:
Hi there. Hoping you or maybe others from this thread could help me.. working on this document to list which root methods work on each device.

We do not get much input/feedback from D857/8/9 users and it would be nice to know if anyone could help me fill in the blanks for those devices.

Does D857/8/9 work with ioroot? if so which software versions? (10A? 10B? for example..)

Does D857/8/9 work with towelroot? if so which software versions?

Does D857/8/9 work with purpledrake root? if so which software versions?

Does D857/8/9 work with stump root? if so which software versions?

And I see you have mentioned that D855 firmware will brick a D857/8/9? Is this confirmed? It cannot be fixed if someone does this?

Do D857/8/9 users have a working TWRP from BUMP! yet? Im curious if the D855 version of TWRP would work for you

D857/8/9 users.. please keep me posted so we can make sure you dont get left out :)
[G3 General] DomFel:
D857 works with Stumproot with version v10a and v10b only. v10c fixed the vulnerability.

D857 doesn't work with towelroot (tested v10b and v10c).

D857 doesn't work at all, it says -unsupported-.

D857 doesn't work with ioroot (tested v10b and v10c).

D857 will be bricked by flashing D855 firmware. Probably a recovery would be possibile accessing the firmware download mode, but I am not brave (stupid) enough to do it, since D855 doesn't support dual sim mode.

TWRP doesn't work on D857, after a reboot the recovery won't be accessible anymore, it will only work once. Be careful, when installing a custom recovery the original one will be gone forever, unless you restore with LG Support Tool. TWRP doesn't fully support D857, thus it probably installs the recovery on wrong memory addresses, and it is not bootable for a second or third time, but only once.

The only way to access the custom recovery is to install it again.

Personally I had to downgrade from v10c to v10b to be able to root and change firmware to D858HK in order to have GApps natively. v10c on D857 is unrootable.

The difference between D857/8/9 is customization: D857 is the international version, /8 and /9 are for China Mobile and Statecom. D858HK is the Hong Kong international version of the G3 Dual Sim that includes the GApps, all other firmware don't, since they are for the chinese market, which Google abandoned.

Haven't personally tested Stumproot on D858HK v10d yet.
[G3 General] autoprime:
thank you for your response.

are you 100% sure PurpleDrake doesn't work? D855 10L has patched Stump but no one has patched PurpleDrake yet... unless it never worked to begin with.

does the following command work for you?

adb reboot --bnr_recovery

and did u try the purpledrake at this thread? because there are 2.. one is for D851 only.. this one is for all - http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/root-root-lg-g3-easily-purpledrake-lite-t2821000

check the manual commands in the first post if the script does not work. I want to confirm and be 110% sure purpledrake does not work on the D857/8/9.. that would make the D857/8/9 the ONLY g3 that does not have root yet.

also.. you mentioned D857 for ioroot/towelroot/purpledrake.. etc... what about the D858 and D858HK and D859? same results for all phones? or only for D857?

and for TWRP.. did you use the fastboot twrp method? do not use fastboot boot method. or did you try the Bump twrp? u tried the twrp-2.8.0.0_d855-signed.img file here? http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/orig-development/bump-unlock-lg-g3-twrp-d852-d852g-f400-t2900614

http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lg_g3/bump/twrp-2.8.0.0_d855-signed.img

[SIZE="1"]adb push twrp-2.8.0.0_d855-signed.img /sdcard/

dd if=/sdcard/twrp-2.8.0.0_d855-signed.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
reboot recovery[/SIZE]

that does not work? if that does not work I will make a proper TWRP for D857 D858 and D859 devices. I will need a boot.img from D858HK if possible please.

and can any D857, D858 or D859 users PM/Message me their IMEIso that I can use LG's website to look up KDZ files and download them myself.

If you want.. you can change or leave off the last 3 digits of the IMEI so that I dont know your exact IMEI for security.
[G3 General] DomFel:
Unfortunately that command didn't work on D857 v10c, and the .bat gave unsupported model. Trust me I tried everything to root before I downgraded, I was desperate to gain root on v10c!!

This is the link for v10c for D857:

http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW040906432109876543213/D85710c_00.kdz

Unfortunately I couldn't find any other kdz (I got that link from my IMEI). The dual sims are mainly for the Chinese market, and they don't share any kdz on the Chinese forums, because many of them ask for money for the download of TOT files.

Please send me the instructions to extract the boot.IMG! I will also re-post the link on Mega later on for the 858HK tot file.
[G3 General] autoprime:
ok.

which firmware are you running now? D857? 10c? rooted?

you need root.. and then you would do these commands... then upload the boot.img to me.

so I guess you need to be on 10B and use stump to root.

adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/boot.img

the above commands will open adb shell, gain root, backup your boot.img to internal sdcard, exit rooted adb shell, exit adb shell, pull boot.img off internal sdcard into the folder on your computer where you are running adb.

OR

if you do not want to root the phone but still pull the files.. see my thread here: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/psa-stop-taking-ota-updates-update-t2909412

under the "Download Updates" section are steps for how to extract KDZ. you can extract boot.img from kdz that way.

the only way to have a rooted D857 10C would be to have 10B.. root it with stump.. install TWRP (D857/8/9 version I need to make).. then update to 10C manually by flashing the system.img, boot.img and modem.img in TWRP.

I have an easy method to flash the system/boot/modem images in my thread as well: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/psa-stop-taking-ota-updates-update-t2909412

under the "Manual Updating" section I have some flashable "Flash2" zips that do all the work for you once you have the system/boot/modem images on your internal sdcard. no need to make new flashable zips.

If anyone has the boot.img for D858 or D858HK that would be good too.
[G3 General] kingcedz:
FYI, I had it flashed with 10C and it didn't receive OTA to 10D, had to do a manual refresh of the whole 10D tot.

I've seen Chinese users reporting the same as well.

That's why i m convinced conversion this way won't receive OTA.

In any case, i have both the D857 converted D858HK, and the local stock D858HK, will be able to verify that once new OTA is pushed out.

all else apart, it's the best version of the android phone by a country mile.
[G3 General] DomFel:
I think you are right. Today I flashed a D855 of a friend of mine in order to change the region. Unfortunately the region didn't change, even by using a TOT file. Under software version it's still AME region and not EUR. Editing the build.prop and reflashing/restoring didn't work neither.

I think LG has hardcoded the region in the hardware, not on the software side anymore!
[G3 General] cmko:
Hi all,

I'm a user of D858hk, recently i have updated my device through LGMobile Support to D858hk v10f, and the stump root effect is waived...

I try to reroot through stump / purpledrake / towelroot , but eventually can't be success.

Hence, I try to flash the stock d858hk v10d rom here, i have several questions suffer during the thread here.

1. Do i need to modify the build.prop file as my device is D858hk

2. I can't get the dll file from the above links

TOT File and DLL: http://pan.baidu.com/share/init?shar...05147&third=15

DLL http://pan.baidu.com/share/init?shar...05147&third=15

Both links contain a zip file which only include a .tot file inside.

3. I have followed all the steps as stated above, but during "Click Start->Remove the cable for 5 seconds and reconnect, the flash will start-> it show error message "Download Fail - Can't change to download mode", i'm sure i have done "Turn off phone, hold the volume up key and plug into the computer (DOWNLOAD MODE)."

Hope anyone can help and suggest what mistake i have made.

thanks.
[G3 General] kazuni:
Does anyone have a D858HK recovery file? I've accidentally written it with the wrong recovery img (D855's) and when I try to boot recovery it goes to fastboot mode... but on normal operation there aren't any side effects yet.

Greatly appreciate it if any of you can post the recovery's img!

1) no, as your device is already D858HK, no need.

2) Here's a link for you to obtain the DLL: https://mega.co.nz/#!YNx2DCSZ!ok0oaK5o7Xu0QeorfnH5gfkEDra9RyoFfhnCkXXIJNE

Update problem

I have an unlocked LG G3 sprint 32gb version. I am wondering whether an update to lollipop using sprint OTA update will lock back my phone. If it will which other way can i update my phone without locking it. The phone model is LGLS990. I have had the OTA update for a while now and I am scared of installing it so as not to lock back the phone. If i can't use the OTA, how else can i update to lollipop. Any help please?
[G3 General] sao_d858:
You found your answer on the other topic I Guess, just quoting it there if it helps anyone

I exactly followed all the steps as written. The only difference was that I had already downgraded from 10f to 10d and rooted using stump root sometime ago.

Anyway, I figured it was the busybox missing. So what I did is: downloaded it from Play Store, installed it, rebooted .... and it worked. But I still don't understand why busybox was not there.

Just to share. I experienced some problems with LP 5.0 v20d. My D858K is laggy, battery consumption is higher than KK, I also noticed that the phone is getting hot very fast unlike KK v10d. My restore didn't work as expected for some apps (which I guess is understandable when upgrading OS). PixelPhone dialer not working properly when choosing to call from sim 1 or 2 unlike kk.

P.S.

I made a TWRP full wipe before installing V20d.

---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 AM ----------

Here are the instructions to upgrade to lolipop v20d , thx to popo72

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/guide-d857-to-d858hk-g3-dual-sim-google-t2906602)

2. Root it with Stump-v1.2.0 and install SuperSu.apk

3. Install TWRP 2.8.1.0 using this apk (there are few words in Chinese when you open apk but very intuitive) D858_TWRP_2.8.1.0

4. Download and install the zip recovery format of the Lollipop rom via TWRP d858hk-v20d_ok.zip MD5: b6fe9ac019a49aab5fbff74787e4806a (Thanks to bbs.gfan forum)

5. Flash via recovery UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

Once TWRP 2.8.1.0 is installed you can also upgrade it to twrp-2.8.5.1_d858-bumped

I try 2 time with lp but call recording and many other features not working properly so go back to again kk.but any how thanks for nice information.
[G3 General] J-Caesar:
from what I read, no one said it is recommended to full wipe or not. I did it to have a clean install for the LP. In my humble small experience I found it always better to wipe before flashing different version of ROM.

Regarding KK and LP, I removed LP and went back to KK for the reasons I posted before (above).

Good Luck . . .
