D855 V20f - works like a charm.

Huge THANKS to everyone involved in creating this fix, I was almost ready to dump the phone just because of this sharpening... even tho my eyesight leaves much to be desired, the difference is night and day. Some webpages used to be almost unreadable due to this madness, honestly... LG devs screwed it big time.

This is a must for every G3 owner

Applying sharpening mod to LG G3 s factory

Hi, I have a brand new LG G3 s just upgraded to lollipop offcially via LG FOTA.

I'm trying to apply the sharpening mod found here http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/orig-development/kernel-chupachups-kernel-t2943339

I have enabled USB debug on my phone and I then restart it into recovery like this: adb reboot recovery.

As a result, I only get the robot image with the open hood and a red triangle. No other messages, no option, no combination of power button and / or volume buttons works. All I can do is remove the battery.

I'm stuck there... I tried booting the the volume down + power button combination but I only get a menu with a factory reset choice that just wipes my phone. No other combination works for me. I also tried this: https://fairphone.zendesk.com/hc/en...droid-robot-No-Command-Black-screen-on-reboot. No luck.

So how can I get into recovery mode and apply the mod???

Thanks!

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da_reeseboy:
I'm pondering options with the vzw z2 tablet (sgp561) and before I start playing with this fire, I am curious what it would take to hard brick this so I know what NOT to try.

Any thoughts?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxim512:
In theory as long as fastboot works it should be pretty tough to brick. I don't really know how fastboot works on Sony devices I have mostly Samsung devices but I assume download mode work largely the same as fastboot. I have brought back Samsung devices from being very near full hard brick. That said they were old and had unlocked bootloaders. I am not sure how relevant my two cents is but that is what I have. On another note I also have the 561 and am more than happy to help in any way I can. I really want some CM12 on this thing since VZW probably won't give it to us until everyone else has had it for 6 months.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
Well, I can throw a couple of "kopeka's" (cents) in as well.

Fastboot is a life savior. Bar none. With it, you can wipe partitions and flash new partition images. Now this is taken that the fastboot capabilities in the given bootloader are "full" and not neutered in some way. Yes, it could possibly be so.

The only way I know, where you can perma-brick the device, is by flashing things on incorrect partition formats, or flashing a bootloader not meant for the device.

Incorrect custom recoveries are notorious for this, as they flash incorrect partition info. (been there, did that).

Also, nand memory can fail after some flashings. It happens. No rhyme or reason to it, it just does. Generally it gets corrupt to the point wipes and formats don't clean it.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da_reeseboy:
In random readings, I've seen that "Unlock bootloader allowed=no" on some devices blocks fastboot. I can boot into fastboot mode, but I haven't tried flashing anything since I am not experienced in fastboot flashing. I think the easy test would be to read a partition in fastboot, then write it back. Do you know the commands to do so?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
You are correct. Some variants (Verizon for example), you can't unlock the bootloader. No unlock, no "full" fastboot or fastboot at all.

Although my original bootlocker was "unlockable" due to it turning out to be a "Demo" unit, I managed to flash an RU ftf, and got the unlocked bootloader. But it seems "some" carrier models don't allow for this. (as a sidenote, I've just reflashed my DRM keys back today, and now on a stock locked .167 build again. Just wanted to try it and see if it worked.)

Here's a list of useful commands (thanks to AndroidForums), but you can certainly find a ton by Google-it.

fastboot
usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>

commands:
update <filename> reflash device from update.zip
flashall flash boot + recovery + system
flash <partition> [ <filename> ] write a file to a flash partition
erase <partition> erase a flash partition
format <partition> format a flash partition
getvar <variable> display a bootloader variable
boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] download and boot kernel
flash:raw boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] create bootimage and flash it
devices list all connected devices
continue continue with autoboot
reboot reboot device normally
reboot-bootloader reboot device into bootloader
help show this help message

options:
-w erase userdata and cache (and format
if supported by partition type)
-u do not first erase partition before
formatting
-s <specific device> specify device serial number
or path to device port
-l with "devices", lists device paths
-p <product> specify product name
-c <cmdline> override kernel commandline
-i <vendor id> specify a custom USB vendor id
-b <base_addr> specify a custom kernel base address
-n <page size> specify the nand page size. default:
2048
-S <size>[K|M|G] automatically sparse files greater th
an
size. 0 to disable

A very useful thing to use, is for example;

fastboot boot boot.img

or

fastboot boot recovery.img

This is useful as it doesn't actually "write" the image to the device, but rather boots it in memory.

Usually how we test things such as new custom recoveries, boot.images and such.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxim512:
Well I was going to give it a shot but I turned my tablet off to reboot without making any changes to it and now it won't turn back on. I haven't had time to RMA it yet. It did this before but it just started working again for no reason. It is probably a good thing since it sounds like I probably would have bricked it trying anyway.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
Wow, talk about "timing". Luckily you didn't make any changes. Had a similar issue with mine last night (coming out of fastboot coincidently).

Did a fastboot boot to TWRP, and when it went to reboot, I had to mess with the Vol + and - nd PWR combinations a few times before it would boot.

Do not play with verizon z2

I work with custom roms and such... I also have a Sony Z2 late tab... I built a rom for this device.... Never got to test it. Got two on it with no issues. And this is a pain as well due to anytime you use twrp you must reflash twrp or your in for a world of hurt. Well during my process twrp froze while wiping the system... I could get to fastboot but any command I tried to run It told me that it was locked and I couldn't use the command as I didn't have the rights.

Bypassing lock screen

Thank you very much!

That is probably the right answer the problem is it didn't work on my note 4. When I got into recovery mode I selected the "SDcard option" and directed it to the folder I downloaded from the good Dr. The folder didn't have anything it was looking for and simply said so.

So I tried going deeper into the folder trying to find anything it would respond to but came up empty. So I tried downloading and installing the ADB app with SDK files and drivers the whole works. By the time I got it all set up apparently the phone has to have debugging turned off before ADB can communicate with my phone. Which of course my phone cannot be accessed because master password is required which I don't have.

I have the PW but it won't accept it. I think It was caused by a conflict with an app I downloaded. Any help or ideas short of doing a complete factory reset, I would really appreciate it. It's evident that starting over May be my only choice. I just can't lose all my information.........I was 24 hrs from backup to.

S5 Mini G800F rooted CF Android 4.4.2

Once Dr. Ketan's script flashed from recovery will bypass the Lockscreen Security (fingerprintpassword, password, locksetings, personal key, gesture key) the associated security information is gone.

I wonder how the following scenario will work out:

1. What if BEFORE running Dr. Ketan's script the files related to Lockscreen Security are copied to e.g. external SD card - or internal storage - by another script from recovery?

2. Then run Dr. Ketan's script flashed from recovery to bypass the Lockscreen utility.

3. Then access telephone and reboot.

4. Then run another script from recovery to copy back the files of step 1 related to Lockscreen Security to their respective original locations.

QUESTION: Will now the original Lockscreen Security information be active again on the telephone?

So the original fingerprint and other settings of the Lockscreen utility from step 1 are active again on the telephone?

Edit: In the discussion area Dr. Ketan and Mussels84 discuss the use of Nandroid for backing up purposes with problems encountered. I read on forums that Nandroid usage may result in wrong access rights assigned to files involved in Nandroid operations due to oversight of users. Dr. Ketan's script is actually a set of commands. The copy (backup step 1) and copy (restore step 4) actions of my assumption above should be done in the same way as Dr. Ketan's script: with a set of commands and not Nandroid to avoid potential issues. Is ti too easy to think that just a slight adoption to Dr. Ketan's original scrip could do the job?
