Did you do anything else when you had root? Change anything in the system at all?
[Verizon LG G3] richsapf:
Thank you soo much! It worked. 10B "Official"..

Then ioroot perfect..

Where is the "Thank you" button I read people saying to push??

I do have couple questions. Should I format the sdcard? Its 64gigs(reading 58gigs), new and reads/writes well; But I am back to my original prob. I installed TWRP and it found my deodexed stock10b.zip but in recovery menu it's back to not seeing any zips at all. I don't think that formatting will help that but I can try if you think that might be it.

thank u again

I forgot to actually answer your question.

No I was very careful to not change any system files. Its beyond my scope, as you can see..:o

This is such a cool phone. I had a droid 4 for two years and did not root..yah 2 years..because of the Que 0/0 root counter. But with this phone, there's no way I'm not rooting and just would like deodexed because I am under the impression the theming is easier / more flexible. Something about the file system structure being more compressed?
[Verizon LG G3] laurasaurisrex:
Awesome! And yes, the sd card needs to be reformatted as fat32 for TWRP to see it.

Now that you're back on 10B, you can get the 11C update again if you want using this. The 11C OTA already has a rooted, deodexed flashable zip.
[Verizon LG G3] richsapf:
I do have that exact Rom/zip on both internal and ext card. Is there a program in particular to format, or just any, and should I format via pc(hook up usb with Windows 7), or is there a good .apk app.

Also, is 64gigs in any way too much.

Could I go up to 128gigs provided I use fat32.

Should the allocation just stay default? It looks like I can go up to around 4 mbs. Is that a cache type thing.

Sorry I am bombarding all these questions. I love learning this stuff. Need a break from studying for comptia 801/802.

Last, where is the thank u button?
[Verizon LG G3] laurasaurisrex:
Do you have a microsd adapter? Don't try to format it with the card still in your phone - plug it into the computer separately. Regular Windows disk management can do the job for you without a third-party program. Settings can all be left to default also, no problem. And 64GB is pretty standard now - that's what I have, and I usually have about 60% full. The G3 officially supports up to 128GB microsds, so you can use one of those if you need the space.

Back up everything you have on it, because reformatting a drive wipes everything. And be careful to select the right drive!

The thanks button is all the way to the left underneath a post. :)
[Verizon LG G3] richsapf:
Got the formatting thing down..Thank you!. Now if I could just find the thank you button..

It is no where. I thought I heard you had to have so many posts or something before a thank you button appears but that makes no sense..I see the smilies and icons..looking left..must be blind.. maybe i shouldn't be messing with a $600 phone..lol...

Thank you for the very well explained and clear info.:)
[Verizon LG G3] laurasaurisrex:
I don't know! This is where I see the thanks button - I've always been able to see it, and I have less posts than you do. I've been a long-time lurker, lol.

No problem! Glad you got it figured out.

Time to put my backup of my phone on a spare card plus dropbox. Live and learn i guess.
[Verizon LG G3] richsapf:
So windows 7 will not allow format of 64 gig sdcard to fat32. only exfat or ntfs. so I used EASEUS. formatted fine. put back in phone and:

Installed TWRP and tried to 'add flash' from the ext card. That crashed app every time. I tried adding .zip from internal card and it worked great. BUT

after I get to recovery menu, I am back to my very first post here

I go to 'update from external storage' from the recovery menu and get

E:failed to mount sd/card, unknown error 150.

Even after I clear cache and do a data wipe. Now when I first got into recovery menu this last time I noticed at the beginning right after

*******************start reset**********************

I got a Parse Error. But that was the only time. Otherwise I just keep getting the error 150 if I try over again to 'install update from ext sdcard.'

Is this in any way a possible hardware issue with the card reader in the phone? I have tried other cards. OR can I install the .zip via usb?

or is there an app to force the mount in recovery?

Thought you were done with me huh?:(

I did learn a ton in the last 72 hours though so:highfive:
[Verizon LG G3] richsapf:
I was changing my sd card from 64gig to 16gig which I formatted Fat32 with default size allocation, via windows disk manager, and before I powered off phone I unmounted the sdcard. I got the following force close a few minutes later after doing a backup in TWRP, before actual powerdown VZWAVSService. As soon as i rebooted phone, same verizon crash. probably not related

Everytime I try a backup in TWRP it crashes. Everything has to be done from internal storage with the TWRP. Was the only way to get into recovery menu..okay 16gig try..nope, no help...

This is what I am looking at at the bottom in yellow:

[recovery.cpp][main]####factory reset start#######

[shs0917] just_exit: 0

E:failed to mount / sdcard (Unknown error 150)

That is the end of the error message. then repeated attempts from their will get just the E: failed line
[Verizon LG G3] laurasaurisrex:
Okay lets back up a little bit and help me clarify a few things. You're still on 10B, correct? What are you trying to flash? And where are you seeing an "add flash" option? (Unless you mean "Install" and just called it something different - the button in TWRP for me is "Install" so want to make sure I understand your steps correctly)
[Verizon LG G3] richsapf:
Hi,

Correct, I'm still on 10B.

I'm trying to flash: 11C Stock deodexed.zip

Yes, in TWRP I meant install, but after I hit install it takes me to another window that says at the bottom left 'add zip' & the right says 'flash now'. When I add zip from ext sd card I get force close.

Seems like my sdcard is flakey now, the camera force closes when I try to take a pic to the sdcard. Camera freezes. If I change locations to save pics to internal storage or use the 16gig card.
[Verizon LG G3] laurasaurisrex:
I'm honestly not sure - my own microsd I've used ever since I first bought a Thunderbolt years ago still works fine for me, I've never had to reformat it. TWRP can see it, my system can see it, and my computer can see it. Those that have had to reformat it to fat32 don't seem to have any additional problems after that. Stock apps should be able to read and write to the externalsd without a problem, at the very least. Hopefully someone can provide some knowledge on this for you... If it's a software thing, I recommend doing a factory reset, or going all the way back to stock again - 10B official - to test. If the card still doesn't register, that might indicate a hardware issue... :(
[Verizon LG G3] richsapf:
So weird that the card is read by all apps. Reads/writes good. Just recovery; could that be hardware

For now I am going to try find a way to usb/adb 11Cdeodexed. My phone is freezing as I type this. So definitely a reflash to official 10b, just reformat sdcard via Windows disk mgr, and root via ioroot.

I wonder if another forum would know the error message I received in recovery menu. I don't want to repost though. I have searched everywhere.

*I am supposed to be putting these .zips directly on the disk and not in any folder, is that correct?
[Verizon LG G3] laurasaurisrex:
You don't have to use the externalsd to flash it though? You can move the zip to your internalsd and flash it from there as well. I prefer to flash from an externalsd, but it's not required. And no, it doesn't matter whether it's in a folder or not.

It sounds like your phone needs to go back to square one, though. I would go back to stock and make sure you're not having any issues. Then root and try again to make sure things are stable. The fat32 format should have fixed the recovery access issue, so I'm not sure why it didn't. I don't have any experience with android recovery code though, so the logs don't tell me much.
[Verizon LG G3] richsapf:
Well I FINALLY figured it out with much help.. I wasn't bumped, so I had to download a .img file and adb it with command prompts.

An xda member wrote up a 'noob guide for lg g3'

So now I am on board... Thank you laura!!
[Verizon LG G3] laurasaurisrex:
I thought you said in an earlier post that you were trying to flash something from the recovery menu in TWRP? If you weren't bumped, what were you using? I'm confused :confused: but glad you figured it out.
[Verizon LG G3] vaughnr:
brick of death leads to infinite bootloop with no twrp in sight

Hey guys,

As the title suggests, i had the same problem as was first described on this thread. I was ioroot'd and bump'd and installed twrp custom recovery. After making a Nandroid backup and a Titanium backup and saving them to my computer, i wiped all data of my phone including cache, dalvik, internal storage and system. BUT NOT EXTERNAL SD.

I go to install jasmine rom Odex with verified md5 and it fails. After multiple tries and even trying to install deOdex jasmine, No dice.

So, i go back and try to load my recovery that i created earlier. That doesnt work either as the first poster here said. After hours searching the internet and no luck getting into download mode (only went to recovery) i tried to adb install twrp again, thinking that might help. Also no dice. So i removed the sim and activated my OLD galaxy s3.

Since then, and I may have missed something very minor that i fiddled with after not being able to install the ROM, I now see NO RECOVERY and when i boot up it stays on the Lg mobile screen with alternating blue and red lights. No TWRP recovery... nothing.

I tried to adb install twrp again from sd. Run adb shell command, daemon starts but no device listed. run su command and it says " 'su' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

if anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it.

---------- Post added at 08:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------

when i say "load recovery" i mean restore backup.
[Verizon LG G3] richsapf:
What I did was install .apk TWRP. but never flashed the .img bump file. I did not realize that 'bumping' is the same as 'unlocking'. Once I figured out that I need to be bumped, I used adb to flash the TWRP .img file to bump(unlock), then I rebooted into recovery and now I get the TWRP recovery menu and can flash .zips.

All the menu stuff I was telling you about(install zip, etc) was from the .apk application menu. I had never actually open the recovery TWRP. If that doesn't make sense, I can attach 2 pics.

I was wondering now about USB PC connection menu. I no longer have the third option "Internet". Only Media Sync and MTP. Is that the 'radio' I need to install?
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
No. That's not the radio, and you don't need to install the v11c radio, though it is maybe a little better than the v10b one.

I think you can use the USB connection by switching to ptp mode, if you really need to. Check around in these forums though, because I have not tried it after installing the bumped TWRP.

By the way, you didn't actually bump your phone. TWRP recovery would not install before bump existed because it would not verify as a secure signed recovery image. Team CodeFire figured out a clever way to alter the TWRP image so it would pass that test like the stock recovery does. The bump technique changes nothing on the G3, it changes only what you are trying to install on the G3.
[Verizon LG G3] richsapf:
Ahh, thank you. Two years out of the rooting world and I have a lot of techniques and terms to learn. So a couple of questions then, if I may. Why did 11c decide to remove the internet option in the usb/pc menu, because I am not even sure what I am exactly doing when I connected to Ethernet to ioroot.

and, Is installing a 'radio' simply that, a radio?

Thank u trent
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
No one knows why LG or Verizon disabled the USB internet option via MTP in v11c. Probably to mess with us, or to make cable tethering harder for unlimited customers, but that is pure uninformed speculation. It might even have been by accident !

The "radio" being referred to is just the contents of a special partition where the FCC tested and approved radio code is stored. No one messes with it's contents, except like Verizon with LG. It has nothing to do with your Android system, except the system (whatever you are running) has to use that code there for wireless communications, and WiFi, Bluetooth and nfc too (I guess ?).

When a new radio is released by the vender, everyone hopes receptions will get stronger, faster, more durable, etcetera, and sometimes they seem to. You had to replace a newer Nexus4 radio code with an older one to retain limited band4 LTE on the Nexus4 though, just for some perspective.

You can flash the proper radio zip through flashing or TWRP to update or downgrade your radio to either of the two versions currently available. There is not much difference I can discern between them. No changes are documented in public.
[Verizon LG G3] laurasaurisrex:
Ooooh okay I see, everything makes much more sense now. Yes, no matter what phone you have, a recovery will never be just an app on your phone - you have to install the actual recovery in the recovery partition. You couldn't install TWRP with TWRP Manager because the G3 requires the Bump method, which you found out.

Some radio updates are better than others, but I personally found a noticeable improvement in signal on the 11C modem over the 10B one.

Also, I rooted my phone, installed TWRP, and have done all my flashing without having to use adb. I only use it when it's necessary - is there a reason why you are? Just curious. Seems to be a hassle to me to use it unnecessarily.
[Verizon LG G3] deathsquad737:
Adb is invaluable at times!heed those words.

WHATSAMATTA U ALUMNI
[Verizon LG G3] laurasaurisrex:
Oh of course! I've used it extensively before, just only when I need to.
[Verizon LG G3] richsapf:
I mainly used adb because I wasnt aware there was an .img file and also I need to learn about command prompts if I am to pass the Comptia 802. That being said, I will flash with just the phone in the future. Since you say you can tell an improvement, and since I should anyway, I will flash the 11c modem .zip. ...

I still can't see the thank you button and I got called on it, in another forum.:confused:...i need a screenshot to cure my blindness... i just now discovered my account was set to view forums in "classic view" so I could not see any "thanks"

[FIX] NO Recovery mode, No download mode, after OTA on rooted LG

Its fit the g2 but same principal

A.L.B/E.B.B
[Palm Treo 750] adambern:
Has anyone else tried this?

I wanted to remove the Vodafone customisations from my 750v so I tried the following: a hard reset (reset with power button on > 'yes' to delete all data); as soon as the power and screen comes back immediately remove the battery to interrupt the setup process.

The result? No VF splashscreen and 60MB (was around 48MB previously) of storage memory in addition to the program memory. The 750v seems faster. However, a manual setup of the data connection is required as is a registry edit to change the 121 voicemail button to my providers voicemail number.

I'm sure there are other changes too. I've still to test this properly over the next few days including a trip to a 3G area.

Excuse me if this has been covered elsewhere - I've looked but not seen anything similar.
[Palm Treo 750] InnerGeek:
It is funny, I have just recently heard people mentioning Vodaphone customizations like the splash screen. However, the only customization that I have on my 750v is the Vodaphone Business.tsk.

No it doesn't
[Palm Treo 750] mitchello:
The only customization on my Treo 750v is the Email Setup link and the horrible gray theme. I have never seen such a lightly customized phone from a carrier, let along Vodafone. Even Vodafone device I have seen or owned has been branded to the point of instability.

If it wasn't for the Vodafone logo on the phone, you could swear you bought an unbranded device.
[Palm Treo 750] Dead Cell:
Same here guys,

After installing the latest Vodafone UK WM6 ROM, the only customisation I have is the Business theme, other than that, I couldn't find anything else to do with Vodafone which I found odd but believe me I'm not complaining.

you can try. again, research it.
[General Questions and Answers] Bob the Swede:
Hello there! I unfortunately posted this same question at another place but I think this is where it should go...(!?)

I just created an account and would like to apologize in advance for any rookie mistakes; using the wrong terms/words and expressions, posting in the wrong place etc... I have seen a lot of very helpful threads but I have yet to find an answer to my issues with my phone.

I have an HTC One (I believe it is the M7) and the service provider is Verizon. The phone was rooted when I bought it and has

"NuSenseSIX-KitKat-m7vzw_RC4.2_032914"

I am having problems with using a bluetooth earpiece together with the phone. (You will get a ticket if driving and talking in the state of WA) and it drives me nuts! I have tried 3 different brands/kind of bluetooth devices as well as made sure that they work on other phones.

I am able to connect/pair the devices - no problem. I can listen to audio, both music/sounds on the phone as well as during calls or using Voxer Walkie-Talkie. There was never an issue on my end as far as hearing sound BUT, not once have I been able to be heard on "the other end". All they hear during a call is a "high-pitched crackling, static, robotic, very annoying" noise which makes the device useless for its purpose.

I have tried restarting, repairing and whatever other "simple" troubleshooting steps I could think of.

I did back the phone up and then did 2 or 3 factory resets, I have "un-rooted and re-rooted" the phone using SuperSU (which was already installed). I have tried to do the wipe/reset/recovery procedure a few different ways, one being a complete removal of Dalvik, cache, and whatever else shows up (sorta scary since I don't have very much experience)

Anyways, I am stuck and wonder if there is anyone out there who can possibly help me..? Is there a "fix" that I can install/apply or is there a better ROM I can use? I'm afraid to try "ROM or Kernel-swapping" on my own before I get some feedback on the procedure...

Sorry for the long post but I really need help....

Thanks - Bob the Swede

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] 299792458:
My sob story:

Had my Spigen Neo Hybrid on order since September 25th or so. Noticed around Oct 18 they were in stock on Amazon, shipping, and 4 bucks less (but mine still didn't ship). Complained and Amazon sent Spigen a msg for me asking for $4 refund. It ships next day but no refund. Not even a reply from Spigen.

I finally receive it around Oct 22 and get my phone on the 23rd. As soon as I realize I can't make calls because it covers my mic (Verizon) I take pictures and send a message to them. Almost a week later they send me a canned response saying they are redesigning the TPU.

Decide to return it on the 25th and Spigen denies return due to "outside return window". Huh? I ordered in September but they didn't ship for a month (until I had to bug them about it) and they deny my return. I filed a claim with Amazon and Amazon immediately gave me a refund in Amazon credit, no questions asked.

I will never, ever buy another Spigen product.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] 299792458:

In had the exact same issue. Took them a month to ship the case, I used the case for ten days, could not take the flimsy stand, and the poor hear rate monitor cutout on my tough armor. I requested a refund 10 days after receiving it. Spigen denied my claim for being outside the return window. I guess, don't ever pre order a spigen case as the warranty/return date starts from the actual order date, not the date the item is received (even though they ship super slow mail).

Amazon refunded my payment as a gift card (after filing a claim), although it hasn't shown up yet in my account.
