[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1aggelos1:
I upgraded already to Lollipop. Before that I didnt use root or anything . I dont need it . but to be honest this first update of Lollipop is not something awesome . just some graphic enhanchements, add user function , notifications in the lockscreen ( ok thats cool ) . More Lollipop updates will follow with more awesome stuff on it . But now I dont know if it worth it for you to lose your root etc . I read somewhere though that they are working for rooting the lollipop and will be available during the day .
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levelik:
Go for Lollipop:

- ART vs Dalvik (much faster - 1.4 GB Ram free)

- Notification from Lockscreen

- User management

- Smoother ( 0 lag - even with facebook that needs a octa-core 5.0 Ghz CPU to send a message :) )

- Material Design

Also if you want to wait usually LG will land several builds in the next month with updates but for the moment its as good as it gets.

HAHA
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scovik:
I would say that there is no need to upgrade to L right now. I suspect that LG wanted to get out 5.0 really quick and the LG UI is not yet ready for the material look of 5.0, so most likely another major update after this one will come in a few months. At that time I expect the LG UI will be better integrated with the feel and look of 5.0.

Aside from that there could be some hidden bug gems that I would like to avoid, so I will let others test this build before I update to it. Don't know if this makes sense to some of you but this is how I see things.

I upgraded to lollipop and i won't go back to kitkat..upgrade to A20 and you will see how smooth lollipop is ..the thing i liked most that you can add lg stock widgets to third launchers ..and when you install google now launcher it looks like nexus 6 launcher

Bump! works on Lolipop?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidmyworld:
Noob question here :fingers-crossed: Would I have to un-root to upgrade to Lollipop? If not, is un-rooting recommended before upgrading?

I've got my device behaving and performing to my satisfaction right now and I was just wondering what re-investment of time would I have to make to get to Lollipop?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tissot:
Wow go easy on lollipop. Any way think twise before you go there.

Perhaps check S3v3ns thread androidnow 3.0 lollipop 20A. Dont flash that lollipop ota. Use some custom made lollipop so that you dont get stuck in lollipop land for good.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidmyworld:
Ok. So because I'm rooted, I should look to upgrade only using some sort of a custom packaged version of Lollipop from the forums here?

I'm sorry, I'm an old iPhone user and the process is to unjailbreak, upgrade and then jailbreak again.

Sorry again for asking silly questions
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tissot:
When going to lollipop the official way.. Ota. For now it is a never go back if you are disapointed with that rom. Once there.. Stuck there.

But if its not allready solved i think there are plenty of hackers aking to crack that nut.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidmyworld:
So wait for that thread with the Lollipop update to show up here ?

---------- Post added at 12:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 AM ----------

Where does one get Lollipop from, after it's officially released? Since ota for rooted users is a no no?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tissot:
Just hang around on the forum and some kind contributor will allways share latest lollipop version.

Othervise there is guides how to extract the official updates (kdz) and make it harmles to flash.

Latest lollipop is as of now ver 20A and there is at least two rom cooks witch have released lollipop for twrp flashing.

Read the threads. Be observant if you try to go back to kitkat. You have to flash the old modem in that case.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidmyworld:
Where is this latest lollipop at?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tissot:
At a file server.

Look in Dev thread. As I said before latest version is 20A. That should be sufficient info. You must read a lot before you do any thing stupid.. Othervise you are joining a russian roulette..

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon_marfrag:
Hey guys, I've tried searching everywhere for info related to my situation, but couldn't find any...hopefully someone here will be able to help.

This all started earlier today, when I was using my phone (AT&T, m7, converted to GPE) as normal. I was at work, browsing Facebook or whatever, when suddenly I got a quick notification that Gapps had force closed. A few seconds after that, the phone suddenly restarted.

From there, I noticed the Google splash logo had a strange pixelated band across it, as shown in the attached photo.

Then it proceeded to bootloop.

After trying a couple basic things, none of them succeeded, and I decided to just wait until I got home, at which point I tried to enter recovery. It took me to the bootloader, which looked pretty weird, as it had a bunch of jumbled letters in the options, also shown in the attached photo.

From there, all I could get to was stock recovery. I tried flashing TWRP, but it wouldn't recognize ADB, and then I tried to flash using fastboot. Fastboot would accept the commands "./fastboot devices" (which recognized that my phone was connected) and "./fastboot getvar all." Any other command, including "./fastboot flash recovery" would give me the error "FAILED (remote: not allowed)".

I'm now at a loss. As you can see in the photos, my bootloader is unlocked, with S-OFF. I have no idea how to recover from this.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Oh, also, I'm on a Mac, with Yosemite.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Ouch, that doesn't look nice at all!!!

are you able to get to RUU mode? "fastboot oem rebootRUU"

if yes then you should flash a full ruu.zip to try and restore your messed up partitions (obviously this will wipe your phone)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon_marfrag:
Nope, getting the same error:

FAILED (remote: not allowed)

finished. total time: 0.002s

Not sure if it helps, but here's the ./fastboot getvar all info it spits back.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
yep, doesnt look nice at all in here :crying:

could be a hardware problem... i'll check in tomorrow, can't do this tonight sorry

PS: recommend you also try a different pc (mac, Win7, linux), with up to date adb/fastboot (and if needed [ie Win7] drivers), stay away from USB3 ports or any hubs.... seems hboot is corrupt, and only way to flash that is using ruu mode, or using a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM... even rooted ROM would do)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon_marfrag:
Great, I appreciate your help!

Yeah, looking like it could be a hardware issue, huh? That's what I was afraid of, especially since it seemed to happen randomly without me doing anything to directly cause it.

I'll try using a different mac tonight (no PCs around me I can borrow that I can think of).

If hboot is corrupted, but I can't do anything but access flashboot and I can't even flash from fastboot, it looks like I might be a little screwed?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
yes, unfortunately, i'm inclined to believe it's a hardware fault (not of your doing!!)

there are only

two

ways i know of, of "messing"/"fixing" partitions (including hboot <only when s-off>), and those would be

1) ruu mode flash <- highly preferred

2) "dd" <-very bad, if you mistype a single character... boom

and yes,

3) given you current firmware, there

may

be a way to get somewhere even "worse" or "better" .... :rolleyes::eek:

but in all likelihood it's probably a hardware fault, nothing you did wrong
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon_marfrag:
Okay, here's one little thing I hadn't thought of yet. As I said in my first post, I could get into the Stock Recovery (Android system recovery <3e> KOT49H.H1 release-keys). Also, a few weeks ago I finally bought a USB OTG cable.

Don't know why it took me this long to think about trying it, but I finally realized I should see if the stock recovery could detect a USB drive plugged into the OTG cable when "apply from an SD card" is selected. Of course, it could.

So! That seems like it might be a possible way to flash what I need to flash, correct? If so, what exactly should I try flashing? I'm worried that I'm in a really precarious spot here and I don't want to flash the wrong thing and lose the ability to use even stock android recovery.

Should I try reflashing the bootloader? TWRP? (if it screws up the TWRP flash will I lose stock recovery?) Something else?

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncguy68:
Side note… if you want to flash custom ROM's all the development has been on the V500 (non GPE) version. When you combine a custom rom (Slim or Mahdi) with a custom kernel (Red or Mani) you get much better performance. On the other hand the GPE version may get updatded to Lollipop.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woody1:
V500 has more options. Not sure if it will get official Lollipop, but will probably get the equivalent from a future custom ROM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] i835 chirp:
Probably a stupid question and sorry if it has been asked before but I ssearched and found nothing. I was wondering if the Cingular PTT will be able to communicate with the PTT of Boost Mobile or it'll just be M2M.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ercave1:
No, Boost works over Nextel's IDEN network, and Cingular PTT over Kodiak network. The two are incompatible.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] i835 chirp:
Figures, I thought maybe after the merge with Sprint, Nextel would change networks. I don't have a problem with the iDEN network but seems it won't be compatible with much of anything in the future.

Hey guys, I have a bit of an issue with my HTC One M8 (UK, Three Network)

I flashed the custom ViperOne ROM on my one with what seemed to be no problems, but when I booted up I couldn't access WiFi and a couple of other things weren't right.

I then flashed AndroidRevolutionHD, and the same errors were still there, and this time I couldnt play any music.

I got annoyed and decided to keep stock with root and find whatever tweaks I wanted on my own. But, when I did a wipe I cleaned off the OS, which has led to my problem.

I have gone from no OS, to factory resets for another OS (still no WiFi)

I got to a point where I didnt have TWRP recovery, just the red triangle with an exclamation mark.

I have gone through a couple different methods, and I now have TWRP back but, no OS.

I have read up on RUU's but cant seem to find one, I just want my stock OS back with everything running as it should, can anybody tell me what steps I should take at the moment?

I just keep booting into TWRP recovery, I can't get in to anything else except that and bootloader

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stathis95194:
Yeah TWRP needs also your serialno. Do the following. Make a backup with TWRP, something small like boot. And then place the files from the stock backup that ckpv5 pointed at to the created directory. TWRP will be able to pick them up and restore.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayx20:
thanks a lot man, but how do I do that whilst in recovery? the only thing I can seem to do is use adb commands
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stathis95194:
To do what? Backup boot to create the folder? Or move the backup folder to your phone?

In TWRP go to backup, select only boot and swipe to backup.

If you are having difficulties to copy the backup folder to your phone just remove microsd, use a card reader to move it from pc to microsd and continue.

Or you can flash TWRP 2.8.1.0 which has MTP enabled and it will allow you to copy the folder from recovery
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
:confused: You have a custom recovery but you don't know how to use it :confused::confused:

Look at the attached picture.

1) Tap on Backup

2) Deselect everything except "Boot" to make a backup of the boot sector/partition.

3) Swipe to make backup. TWRP will then automatically create the path: /sdcard/TWRP/Backups/serialnum/ The serial number will be the one for your device. OR if you selected to backup to external SD Card: /storage/ext_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS/SERIAL-NUMBER-FOLDER/

4) Place the nandroid backup that was linked for you inside the newly created TWRP BACKUPS folder(UNZIP IT FIRST)

5) Go into TWRP and go to "Restore" <<As you can see in the picture attached it's right next to "Backup". - It'll usually take you to default one that was used for backup purposes(Internal/External) but you can select change to external if you made it to external.

6) Select the nandroid backup that'll show in TWRP and swipe to restore.

For future references and less headaches/problems:

7) Flash back stock recovery fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

8) Forget about flashing until you read up on it more.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You need to slow down and read read read until you understand the basic concepts and procedures. Being new is no crime, we were all there at one time. But proceeding without the proper basic knowledge is dangerous, what got you in this position, and its a wonder you haven't bricked your phone. Stop and read before doing anymore to your phone, or you risk permanent damage. Some basics that you should have known before doing any mods to the phone:

1) Not knowing how to use custom recovery, and neglecting to make a backup of your stock ROM. You shouldn't flash

anything

without making a nandroid backup first.

2) You wiped OS in recovery.

You should not be wiping anything

if you don't know what it is, or what the result will be.

3) Factory reset doesn't do anything but wipe user data. Its not going to "restore" a previous OS.

4) Read the thread for any ROM or mod you want to flash. At least read the top post of the ROM thread, and the last few (most recent) pages of the thread. This alone will usually clue you in to any common issues. The WiFi/firmware issue in particular gets discussed several times a day.

I don't say this to be a jerk. I hope you find this a respectful recommendation, and for your own good.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayx20:

I never took it that way, I appreciate the criticism, I did read through but I went in thinking of my iPhone experiences, jailbreaking and restoring was a breeze!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Just check the boxes next to "System" and "Boot", then swipe across to restore.

That's great, not everyone is so accepting of criticism!

Every device is different, and has its own learning curve. Something that is not to be taken for granted. Even within Android, each device has its subtleties. You'll find XDA is rich with information for those that want to read and learn. Take your time, and make sure you are comfortable you fully understand, before you do anything. Or only do things you are specifically instructed to do by a guide or knowledgeable "helper". If you have any doubt, come here and ask first. Its better to ask a stupid question, than to make a stupid mistake.

Then you'll have some idea what I am saying here. (ignore the backup version no. and other items .... read only no. 3 a to f)

And maybe it is good to change your TWRP recovery to the latest one. Based on your info above you still have the old version with version-main missing bug.

Its just the folder guys, no folder in a folder

I put it in my serialno folder and it now picks it up.. but I think its somehow being corrupted as I dont have the option to select anything, whereas the one backup I made that wont restore, shows me the options.. I don't get whats going on, it takes around 12 minutes to transfer the files to SD but still seems to be corrupt..
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
To be clear, the folder structure should be: TWRP>BACKUPS>serial number>folder

With the last folder typically named (at least by TWRP default) starting with date (2-14-10-24-xxxxxx). Although this folder can be renamed to just about anything, and not sure how the stock nandroids from the collection thread are named.

Inside that folder, you should see several contents, including boot.img (or boot.emmc.win), a couple system files, and possibly some others.
