Help the help help

To manrad: Try xenoamp. I'm new to this,

but it seems better than the default music app(it's free).

Edited for brevity.

delboy- is that list of yours valid for kitkat 4.4.2?

What repercussions are there for disabling app permissions with xprivacy? What core functions do I need to leave on?

For overclocking: I've found several apps for this, and don't know which to use. 2.7 ghz is the max safe, right? Is it possible to automatically underclock the phone when I'm out and about, or does this have to be manually done?

8. If i use stickmount etc, could I connect, say, a drawing tablet, for instance(presuming I can find some way of getting the phone to recognize my old wacom tablet)? Is this possible within a Linux shell only? Are there other programs for this sort of thing?

I think that's about it for now. Sorry for the long post! :confused:

Hi mantarayr. First of all, you are doing this on windows right? If not, you'll need to use linux and WINE or something....

So, here's how I solved a similar problem...maybe helpful, maybe not.

I found a guide on lgg3root.com, which I will summarise for you here. Note that the guide has some issues!

First of all, make sure that there isn't some sort of driver issue. Uninstall/reset your USB drivers(this is automatic, from device manager. Just requires a restart), then install the LG G3 drivers from the lg website(specific to your carrier, I think).

Next, you need to install LGflashtool and download the stock firmware and the firmware DLL (there's a link on that site, if you trust it, and also on storagecow.eu, and pfft, in these forums I just noticed). Make sure that you download it for the correct phone model.

You need to replace the Megalock.DLL in LGflashtool folder with a separate one (described on the website).

Next, hold down the volume up button(after turning phone off for 5sec), and plug the USB cable into the computer and the phone.

You need to set the LG G3 port to COM41 in the device manager>ports/tools/advanced

After this, run LGflashtool.

PIck manual install, and then direct the program toward the DLL file and the (unzipped) firmware. It will be a .tot file(may be a hidden file, but will show up in the program).

MAKE SURE TO SELECT BOARD DL ON THIS MENU. The guide is incorrect on this!

Hit Ok, then click the yellow arrow. This will take a while (it will say checking BIN/CRC, if i recall)

When it says READY!, start the process. Here is where the guide is incorrect. It will get to 86% or so, then the phone will go to the AAT menu. It says not to click the screen, but click OK. Then, press boot + power(in the menu). Next, reboot your phone( or remove battery if this fails). Make sure to disconnect the usb cable/shut down the program, or the process will start over!

In theory, your phone should be back to the original firmware after this. I make no guarantees. It took me 3 tries, personally :fingers-crossed:

P.S. I just noticed, after typing this, that there is another guide in the main g3 forum(stickied). Different method, but similar. Might even be better.
