Flash v20 agen.

Just use recovery on it, it will work, it will make bugs but eventualy it will work.

When the phone vibrates and the lg logo shows up, let go of power and after 8 seconds let go of vol down and keep holding menu,

Or just try to keep holding both thoes buttons for a while, and after you let go let it stay a bit on the logo, thats the only way to reset it, iv done it a few times on L7 and on L5

And you flashed kdz for lg L7 II?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabreto0thtiger:
for being so desperate, i tried flashing a lot of kdz.. V10D, V10J, V20A, V20B, V20D

haha! still no progress.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nesh89:
press and hold the Volume down key + Hot key / Quick button (on the left side of the

phone.) + Power key. ( for about 8 seconds)

2 Release the Power key when the LG logo appears on the screen.

3 Release Volume down key + Hot key when the LG logo disappears. After a while, Android robot will be displayed and recovery will proceed. Leave your phone for at least a minute while the hard reset is carried out. You will then be able to switch your phone back on.

If your phone is lg L2

Btw if you phone is indeed lg L72

youll have to flash the original frameware for LG L72 to get it back to stock.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabreto0thtiger:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] weinson:
I have tried to get the answer to this question on another forum, to no avail, so I am trying here as well.

Anyone have an answer as to why using an isp connection should/would be better than using a wap connection. I have a Cingular 8525 with the unlimited PDA connect plan, so I can use either, without fear of cost differential. They both seem to work fine, but I can't really determine a difference between the two. They both access the same websites, I can view streaming video with both, and the speed of each seems comporable (if anything, the WAP connection seems a bit faster).

The WAP connection with cingular does use proxy servers, so I need to be sure to not use this when going over wifi, but for using the 3G network does it really make a difference?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Well, interesting question. Wap in most cases of PDA/Phone use, is an ISP connection, but via an alternative route. In a sense then one is not better than the other. Of course to anyone that does not have a nice unlimited ISP data plan then WAP is much preferrable/cheaper. With a good quality WAP connection the data transfer speed is, as you've found may be very good.

Test out each route using the following site:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] goestoeleven:
You should refer to Sleuth's TyTN notes. There is a long discussion about this particular topic.

In short, with Cingular, if you use wap.cingular you'll constantly have your ip address updated, which can cause session timeout errors on Exchange ActiveSync DirectPush (in effect, this causes a behavior very similar to "polling every x minutes" for mail -- or "pulling").

This is not the case with isp.cingular, which will give you a public ip address for the session. isp.cingular does not need the proxy server, which also makes it much more friendly with WiFi.

Alas, isp.cingular is only available with the more expensive PDAConnect plan, which does not include any SMS nor access to Cingular Video.

Whether or not it's worth it is up to you...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Arktronic:
From what I read, wap.cingular does not give you a public IP address - it goes through NAT/PAT. And, as goestoeleven mentioned, Cingular Video can only be accessed through wap - rather, through the proxy. Same goes for other Cingular MEdia Net websites.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sickchilly:
Each connection has its place as each will allow access to certain things. Differences as far as I know them:

1. Can not access MEdiaNet sites without WAP connection

with

Proxy. This includes Cingular Video, however I used to be able to access CV without the Proxy. Not sure what changed on Cingular's end.

2. Some sites will detect that you are on a WAP connection and present the site differently. Some sites will use just the browser ID string. Some sites will use both. So sometimes it's hit or miss regarding which content of a site you'll get. Therefore, it's nice to have the different connections defined so that you can switch between them.

3. ISP gives you a public (albeit dynamic) IP address. WAP is translated. See next item...

4. VPN. My company's VPN will not work properly without a router allowing VPN pass-through

or

a public IP address. So when I have to get to our VPN, I have to use the ISP connection.

That's about it as far as I know. All of my knowledge comes from real practical use. I try not to repeat hearsay. ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] honestabe:
so if you have the unlim. pda plan from cingular to get the rebate.. then after you get the rebate you switch to the unlimited medinet for 20 bucks will cingular pick up on the fact that you are not using isp.cingular and using there wap.cingular instead and charge you for some sorta of data...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fone_fanatic:
if your on medianet, then you should be using wap.cingular, if your on the PDA connect, then you should be using isp.cingular

If you have the medianet package and you use isp.cingular then you will be charged per kb.

now for my question which is the third time i'm asking it because i'm not getting an answer anywher... I have the mediamax unlimitted bundle and i was having trouble streaming videos, so i disabled the proxy and am still going through wap.cingular my question is am i going to be billed per kb because i don't have the proxy enabled?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] weinson:
I still don't get *why* I should use isp.cingular if I am on PDA Connect ... I know I can (and I have tried it out, and it seems to work fine), but wap.cingular seems to work fine too, and maybe load sites a bit faster, too. Billingwise (given that I am already on PDA Connect), it is not going to make a difference to me, so why switch from wap.cingular (which is how the phone came when I bought it) to isp.cingular? Will I see any benefits or difference?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] honestabe:
why would i get charged per kb when its unlimited medianet threw wap.cingular with the unlimited medianet?

is what you are saying is that if i switch to the unlimited medianet then i can only use wap.cingular and i should disable isp.cingular or i will get charged per kb when using isp.cingular?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Arktronic:
You should not get charged per KB if you bypass the proxy AS LONG AS YOU STAY ON wap.cingular. isp.cingular gives you a public IP, which is a commodity they make you pay extra for, that's why they would charge per KB on the MEdia packages.

Note that I used the word "should" - I don't know for a fact that you won't be charged, but you *should* not be.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fone_fanatic:
medianet through wap.cingular doesn't charge you per kb.

Yes, thats it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] weinson:
I may finally have found a distinction between using isp.cingular and wap.cingular. When I use Yahoo mobile mail (beta version) with isp.cingular I get greater functionality (check boxes to easily manage multiple email messages) than when I access the same site using wap.cingular.

Finally, I seem to have proven (at least to myself) that there really is a distinction between using the two settings ... and that isp.cingular can, in fact, provide some beneficial results.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rSallyx:
So I have had 4 different android phones in the past few months. A nexus 5, a Oneplus one, a different Nexus 5, and now an HTC One With all of them except the Oneplus one I have been having wifi issues that I cannot seem to fix or start to diagnose. The problem is that after my phone connects to the internet it works for about 10-15 minutes of constant use than cuts out but still shows strong signal, and to use it again I need to switch wifi off than back on. I currently I have Verizon fios 150/50 with factory issued quantum router. with all of the devices I have tried factory resetting, unroot/locked bootloader, rooted unlocked bootloader,wifi fix apps etc still hasn't changed anything. I have also tried when factory resetting choosing not to restore backup from Google account still no help. But oddly enough my brother uses a lg g3 no problems with that and other devices in the network like ipad and moto g's work fine no issues. So I kind of feel like its gmail related? also when I had a 2013 nexus 7 it had the same issue way back when I had it last year.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] houston33:
help! lol

my dilemma, i updated to 4.4.3, rooted, created a nandroid backup.

then i installed viperone 2.5

all going well till phone stopped sending texts (ee update fault, common fault)

after checking solutions all say factory reset, did that, phone booted, but i couldnt log into google, kept saying could not connect to servers

thought ive had enough, restore my nand, and now its stuck on load screen, been left for 15 mins and no joy, i can still get into twrp but im at a loss at what i can do.

twrp wont let me mount internal storage so i can send another backup, only mounts sd card

s-on so limited options
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
If you can get into recovery, you can get into your bootloader. Flash a new ROM using ADB.

Also, only factory reset as a last resort. There's usually a way to fix stuff without resorting to that.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] houston33:
i thought flashing a new rom on the m8 required the firmware setup?

so i can just reinstall viperone 2.5 again?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] houston33:
408

so from where i am now i can just go to twrp and install android rev 21? or do i have to use adb sideload?

is 21 even compatible?

i swore i wasnt gonna mess on with this phone.........
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
You sure can. The newer firmware is needed for 4.4.4 ROMs. If you had 2.5, reflash it. It will work with the newest firmware as well. Just not the old stuff.

Here's a pointer: A dirty flash of the ROM you are currently running will reset your tweaks, and often fix problems you are having. When I start having glitches, I first reboot. If that didn't work; and I can't find a solution on XDA easily, I reflash my ROM; the dirty way. It really does help to clear up stuff, especially if you are using themes and tweaks.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] houston33:
Sadly didn't work.

Will have to use one of the stock na droid backups from the collection on here once the thread is up and running again

How do I access phone memory to copy the backup over? I only have boot loader and twrp
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
In TWRP, you can manage files easily.

Click advanced > file manager

There you can copy files, move them and change permissions. Plus deleting and renaming them.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k-semler:
When 2.7.0.1 came out, I tried that, but it wouldn't load any non-sammy firmware, so I reverted back to 2.6.3.1. When 2.8.0.1 came out, ROMs would install fine, but my MicroSD card wasn't recognized in any ROM reliably. I have it formatted in FAT32 for compatibility across ROMs. However, with 2.6.3.1, I have no issues at all with the MicroSD card, or installing any ROM. Why is this? Does anybody else have this limitation? Is there a way to fix it, so I can update to the latest TWRP. I also tried it with PhilZ Touch 6.43.x, and it doesn't even recognize my SD card. CWM does, but I prefer TWRP over CWM.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp158:
For me it's working fine: 2.8.0.1 and the previous version, too. Did you try to format sdcard in TWRP (after saving files of course)?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k-semler:
TWRP recognizes it fine, it's just that no ROM I load on the phone with TWRP 2.8.0.1 recognizes it. Sammy ROMs say it's a 415MB MicroSD card, and says "Ready to remove" upon starting up. There is no way to get it to recognize the 64GB card that I have in there. AOSP ROMs simply don't recognize it at all. However, once I downgraded to 2.6.3.1, every ROM recognizes it flawlessly.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp158:
Recovery is the last place, I should suspect any reason for this behaviour. Sorry, no idea. Did you re-format the card with TWRP

and

computer?

If it's not accepted 100%-correctly in your roms, buy another one. Seems risky for me, to use something weak at this place. Downgrading TWRP is useless.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uoY_redruM:
OK so, this is odd. I requested an overnight phone exchange for my free screen replacement because I dropped mine. I was suppose to get the replacement on Friday (per what the rep from HTC told me) but the phone hadn't even shipped. I called and complained and the rep apologized but said they had been back ordered for about a week and told me she would refund me the $30 overnight fee (which hasn't happened still) and they would have the phone to me either Monday or Tuesday. Phone came in today.

I was just looking at my bank account to see if the overnight fee had been removed, which it hasn't, but the $600 hold was removed. I haven't sent my phone back yet (obviously).

I'm not trying to steel the phone, I'm going to send it back still, but my bootloader is RELOCKED and I've been really nervous they'll dock my hold $290 once they get it. I was told by the rep that if they find anything wrong with the phone, they'll deduct the cost from my hold and then release the rest to my account. Why would they release my hold prior to ever receiving my old phone?

Anyone experience this before?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Azhai:
Alright so I was rooted, but now there's been at least one new version of Android, so I need to do it again and update. I am confused as to how this whole thing works. I used to have an iPod touch which I jailbroke, and you could update the firmware simply by jailbreaking with a jailbroken version of the newer OS. Does Android work in a similar fashion with rooting, in which when you flash the ROM (am I saying this right?), it is a different Android version? So can I just find a ROM that's 4.3 to update, or should I update to 4.3 over the air and then root again? I actually already did the OTA update because it was really bothering me and currently I don't even use root features frequently. Anyway, the no-flash trip link in the how to root section says 4.1.1, which I assume means Android 4.1.1, and I don't want this. What can I do?

If I get a current version of a custom ROM, LiquidSmooth or something, will that update my Android version?

I'm sorry if I'm making zero sense right now, or if this is in entirely the wrong section. I'm trying my best here.

Indeed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Cmicasa the Great XvX:
I will help U but you take full responsibility for anything that may happen to your device in the process.

It seems like U are still rooted, but but just on MK3 still. This will upgrade U to ND8

Here goes:

#1 Install Odin on your PC, run the program. (Link to Odin 3.07. LINK for ODINClick link and it will automatically download to system) Extract from ZIP

#2 Load the ND8 tar in the PDA Slot, put your phone in Download Mode (power off, hold Vol Down, Home, and Power), and connect your phone to the PC. (leave check in the Auto-Reboot and F-Reset)

#3 Then after that is successful run CF Auto Root LINK CF-AUTO ROOT This down load must be extracted and U will see Odin application in there too along with CF-Auto tar

#3b (I didn't do this because I don't really care, but if U want) get ROM Toolbox or something of that nature and remove any app with Knox in the title or that has the Knox symbol.

#4 Load your phone into Download Mode one last time and then put whatever recovery you have (I use Philz, make sure you grab the .tar format instead of the zip) and put that in the Bootloader slot in Odin. U will then be rooted and custom recovery.. U can stay there and set up phone or flash a custom ROM. I would do a nandroid back-up in philz first before U flash a new ROM though.

Link to PhilZ 6.416 Tar DIRECT LINK I use this one because it WORKS with no issues

or U can go here and get other versions of Philz. LINK

This guide was originally posted by Bilgerryan (below) and I augmented a few things and added links so U wouldn't have to search and search.

Thanks for the move. Reading is hard.

So can someone just clear up the whole version thing for me? I attempted to do the 4.4 OTA update that showed up, and it seems to have worked in the sense that the notification went away, but my version is the same (4.3) and I seem to still be rooted. I guess I really don't understand any of the rooting process. I know I've used Odin and stuff but I really don't know what any of it does. Is there already a thread somewhere that explains what all of this stuff actually does? I mean, updating and staying rooted can't be that hard to do.

First off, I've tried to be careful with the screen. I don't like screen protectors, but i guess now i'll have to get one. Im not even sure this screen is real glass, more like some sort of plastic composite if you ask me. I've come from the HTC One M7 and had it for over a year and a half and never had any problems with screen scratches. This just a few days and there is a noticeable scratch. Thankfully when the screen is on I don't see it. I've look at methods to remove scratches but doubt any will work on this. Only option screen protector. Just letting those of you that don't use one, you will end up with surface scratches on this device.
