[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dafater:
tried it

I have already looked through that thread, no dice. I tried multiple PCs, no dice. Does that mean there's no way to flash a system.img without a PC?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadesse:
As to whether you can flash the system.img without a PC, I am not quite sure.

However, I did have the same exact issue with my N7 & sent it to Asus 4 times to be repaired. If you tried connecting your device on multiple PC's it is a problem with your device. Twice they replced the USB/Audio board & once the replaced the mainboard. After they replaced the mainboard when I got it back it was only showing <8G of storge when I have a 32G. There are two possible causes for your issue.

I've tried searching and reading through the various downgrade and upgrade available threads, but can't seem to find anything concrete on the matter. Has anyone confirmed that rollback has OR has not been blocked in the latest OTA - 12B? I'm assuming the tot method wouldn't work since it didn't work with 11C, so I'm most specifically wondering about the kdz method. I'm trying to figure this out for a friend. Thanks!
[Verizon LG G3] jdgesmlls:
This topic is of interest to me as I started on 10B and never took any OTA. I rooted, bump'd and started running Beanstown 11C, Cyanogenmod 11, BlissPop 5.0.1 and now SkyDragon 2.0.0. I have seen some report that the .tot method has been met with mixed success for people that took the 11C update but I haven't seen any details. Does the LG Flash Tool have issues laying down the base 10B image when it sees 11C? I would guess if that is the case, the same would be for 12B. Has anyone tried formatting with TWRP etc.?

I have never done the LG Flash Tool with .tot but was always keeping it in my toolbox for when the official Lollipop 5.0.x build comes from Verizon. I would be interested to see why the .tot method fails or the KDZ method for that matter.
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
Don't know about 12b (but I think someone else did reply to this question in another forum and stated that yes, you can downgrade back to 10b), but this post says downgrading from 11c possible:

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/guide-flash-to-stock-10b-kdz-method-t2928140
[Verizon LG G3] ohlin5:
Yep, I know all about that. I've tot restored 10B a couple different times, and kdz'ed an 11C install back to 10B once, so I'm very familiar with both of those. I'm really curious to know though specifically if anyone has been able to confirm if 12B can be kdz'ed (or tot'ed for that matter, but I doubt it), back to 10B. If a new phone is bought in the next few weeks an comes out of the box with 12B flashed, I need to know whether this I would be stuck as unrootable/unlockable for the time being.
[Verizon LG G3] tomlow:
done.

I did it. Was curious about Advanced Calling so I downgraded since I forgot to make a backup of stock recovery. Got back to stock with no root and no custom recovery. Then I took the OTA updates to 12B. Found out I could not root from there and crossed my fingers and downgraded again. Had a moment of panic as the first attempt failed. Instead of getting a success msg on my computer and a big red number 3 on my phone I had a big red number 2. Restarted the process again and this time it took it. Rooted first this time, then took the updates. Not really interested anymore in custom ROMS and am happy with stock and root. I am curious though if I will be able to install TWRP from here. Haven't tried it.

I'd be careful though and get one more confirmation before you try it. When I said panic, that is really putting it lightly lol
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
I can tell you this, I was rooted and the 12B update is on my phone and I'm still rooted. I'm going to try and flash back to 10B to see if it works or not. I'm trying to download the KDZ file, but it keeps aborting. The connection is REAL slow.

I haven't tried the TOT file yet either.
[Verizon LG G3] tomlow:
I used the TOT file myself.
[Verizon LG G3] GolferRon:
A couple of things to consider, the tot download is to 10b_3 (the released version) and kzd is to version 10b_1.

The main difference is that 10b_3 Will take OTA updates while 10b_1 Will not.
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
Awesome! That's what I wanted to know. I'll probably stay on 12b rooted for now then.

---------- Post added at 11:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

Oh, and yes. You can install TWRP. As long as you're rooted, use Flashify to flash it. I can't seem to get to it via the button pushes though, so I installed Quick Boot and use that to boot into recovery, although at this time, I have no use for the recovery except for doing nandroid backups.
[Verizon LG G3] ohlin5:
Thanks a ton for these confirmations....I have to say though, it's very interesting that tot worked for you when so many people had such trouble using the tot when 11C came out. Thanks again though!
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
I'm just surprised SuperSU survived the OTAs as I thought it wouldn't since the exploit probably does some modification to the system partition. On Motorola phones it usually caused issues.
[Verizon LG G3] cbrehob:
I downgraded from 12b using the kdz method. No problems what so ever other than the flash tool crashing at the end.
[Verizon LG G3] ohlin5:
Interesting....well then I'll ask you another couple off topic questions then, since the only experience I had with the kdz method turned out SUPER sketchy haha. So when I started the flash tool program up and began the process of flashing, I had 2 weird occurrences and want to know if you experienced anything similar. The first weird thing that happened is I never had any confirmation that the software was "seeing" the phone as being connected. I don't have it in front of me as I'm at work, but I recall one screen having boxes in the lower left corner that seemed like they should show something if it were seeing a device connected, but they were completely blank - do you know what screen I'm referring to, and did this happen to you?

And the second thing that happened that about gave me a heart attack (since it was on a friend's phone hahaha), was that when I couldn't get those boxes described above to populate and give me any indication/confirmation that the software was actually "seeing" anything, I just bit the bullet and decided to hit next, at which point the flash tool took off and began flashing, but both the flash tool program itself, and the dialogue boxes that popped up during the process were completely full of question marks.....nothing at all readable. Did you also experience anything like this?

Just figured I'd ask as since I did this to a friend's phone a month or so ago, it's always bugged me as to why it occurred, and so I've been very hesitant to ever use it again should I have to, so I at least wanted to see if I was in the minority on these experiences haha :) Thanks in advance!
[Verizon LG G3] cbrehob:
Yah, it was sketch. I did see all the ?????? all over the screen but I trusted the directions on the thread.

As far as the software seeing the device, the only indication that I had was the program showing the available memory on the device, so I knew it was reading it.

I did it once, it worked, I'm not really a seasoned flasher. I just got my G3 last week and I had OTAd before rooting and unlocking.
[Verizon LG G3] ohlin5:
Lol well I appreciate your confirmation that I'm not the only one who felt the sketchiness. I never noticed the available memory as being shown, but maybe I overlooked that. And I'm a pretty seasoned flasher, at least as far as custom rom flashing goes, but yeah that process definitely grew a little hair on my knuckles lol. Thanks again!
[Verizon LG G3] mcerk02:
is 12B even worth upgrading to?

I have been reading alot about the update to 11 and 12B. is it really worth it to upgrade?...I got my phone it had 10B out of the box (I think) and phone immediately said there was an update as I was on my way home from the verizon store, so I thought sure and did the update, got home and started looking into root and realized I had to downgrade to 10 to get root, did it KTZ method, rooted, installed TWRP so I can make backups, and here I am ever since, as far as I can tell from reading is the only thing 12B gives you is advanced calling or whatever it is, I dont really care if I have that, I dont really even care if I have that unless someone can chime in and tell me whats its all about, is it worth upgrading and risking loosing root and stuff just for this advanced calling feature?...what is it and what does it do?
[Verizon LG G3] scottysize:
This is VoLTE or Voice over LTE. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but it doesn't do anything on the G3 other than allow your voice conversations to travel over the LTE line. This update was required for the Turbo, Sony, and other new phones that could not talk and surf at the same time. The G3 never had that problem.
[Verizon LG G3] CMoney408:
nice tips, i was at 10b and rooted. i just couldnt take the annoying update available pop up anymore.

so i unrooted, udpated to 12b, then realized i cant root 12b. i just re flashed back to 10b.

my questions:

1) do i root 10b then upgrade to 11c? if so how, this was my original version and my problem was it always failed to update?

2) do i upgrade to 11c first, then root? if so how, i cant find directions to root 11c?

3) once rooted at 11c, how to i upgrade to 12b while keeping the root?

only reason i root is for wifi tethering on a unlimited verizon plan, if there is another way to be updated and have tethering, please share.

thank you.

i am a newbie at rooting, so specific links/steps are appreciated.
[Verizon LG G3] jadams161:
Yes. I went from 12 to 10,just follow the instructions.
[Verizon LG G3] CMoney408:
im not sure if you are trying answering my questions or not. if you are, i am rooted at 10b again. how do i keep my root but update to at least 11c, but preferably 12b?

update, i found a temp solution in another thread thanks to user Wildcat2083 :

I found a useful trick to keep the ota from showing up, if you enter ##3328873 in tge dialer pad and enter 000000 for the service code you then can uncheck the ota-dm mode this should prevent any ota

this at least gets rid of the update pop up. but i would still like to know how to upgrade to 12b well keeping my root.
[Verizon LG G3] phillymade:
I am new to this device, in fact mine is in shipment. So my question is this, I see if I downgrade/flash 10b_3 I could keep root and take the OTA if desired? I have not ever tried this with another device so I want to be sure that this is correct as i like stock root and want to be able to go 12b.

thank you in advance
[Verizon LG G3] Golfer_Ron:
Yes, you are correct and understand it. Enjoy your new G3
[Verizon LG G3] CMoney408:
I do not believe that's true. I had 10b and a stock root, but my ota update always failed. I unrooted, upgraded to 11c, tried to unroot again. But no go. Now I'm at 10b rooted again. I think 11c rooted can ota update to 12b. I just don't know how to get to 11c rooted.
[Verizon LG G3] phillymade:
So if you are back on 10b_3 you can Root and take the ota provided you have a stock recover installed. Once you do this you should have root on 11c, as for 12b I'm not sure this would prove to be a success. I know with Samsing (coming from N3) the kernel has blacklisted root exploits and kernels that do not match.....so I think this is where you just flash a 12b rooted rom. I can not find anything that shows success keeping root to 12b.

I could be wrong.
[Verizon LG G3] Schaweet:
You can keep root by checking the option in SuperSU for survival mode and then take the OTA. That is what I did and it worked on multiple OTAs. I'm now on 12B and rooted and unlocked.
[Verizon LG G3] CMoney408:
during update i get a 0xf014 error.

i just tried. but i got an error. when i check the update status it says:

last attempt to update system:

LG_VS985_10B-TO_11C result: update failed, 402

maybe theres another SuperSU setting i am missing? when i check my version it ends in "10b", not "10b_3". is that why?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Themes and Apps] AlmightyAl:
I'm a week into my new Note 8 and in impressed with it. Really improved my productivity and note taking. However I'm disappointed that the snote app on the 4.4.2 update is not the latest snote app and it doesn't have easy chart.

I've rooted the device and ostend Philz custom recovery and tried installing all the snote apps on this forum but none have easy chart. I tried prong the snote from 10.1 tab as posted in the 8.0 themes and apps threads but none work. I have tried flashing as well as manually installing (with rw-r-r permission) but neither of the two I have tried will even open.

So I guess my question is this. Is there an snote app version or plug in that works for the 8 that has the easy chart function ?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Themes and Apps] chaiyanp:
I've use two apks from this forum SNOTE-1.apk and ChartBuilder.apk then my Note 8 has another S Note (red icon) with easy chart function try to search them.

Download the apk from attachments. Put it on system/app/ and give it permision rw-r--r-- (0644) and then reboot your tablet.

At mine works very well.

GOOD NEWS! :D

You can now use .mp4 video files as your boot animations (if you didn't see it on the portal). You can follow the directions here (you must be rooted for the new method to work):

http://xdaforums.com/general/xda-university/guide-set-video-bootanimationtesters-t2915445

Also, because I was testing to see if things would work I whipped up a new animation for everyone. Nothing fancy, just a good old timely classic from my childhood. A custom (orginal) Playstation boot screen re-worked with a new 3d logo, etc. etc.

I will be giving directions for the new video method, but I am also uploading files if you want to do it the old way.

PREVIEW:

[YOUTUBE]o9oDaApeY9Q[/YOUTUBE]

FLASHABLE ZIPS NOTE:

The first flashable zip replaces ONLY the boot animation in the "/system/media" directory and is the video type. It makes no other changes.

The second flashable zip is intended for Sprint stock based sense roms and is also the video type. The zip not only contains the bootanimation, but also a backup of the original "default.xml" file in "/system/customize/CID" and the original "bootanimation" binary in the "/system/bin" directory. This is in case you would like to go back to the old image sequence based bootanimations.

DIRECTIONS:

VIDEO:

First, download the "bootanimation" binary from the link above. Make a backup of your current "bootanimation" binary in the directory "/system/bin" and then copy the new binary you downloaded into that same directory. Change the permission of the binary file to 0755 and you are done with that.

Next, copy whichever video "bootanimation.zip" file you want into the "/system/media" directory and change the files permissions to 0644 / rw-r-r.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

For Sprint stock users you need to do one more thing. Get a file manager for android and edit the "default.xml" file located in the directory "/system/customize/CID". Open the file to edit and scroll down till you see this sequence:

<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/***whateverbootanimation.zip***" />

and change it to this:

<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation animation="/system/media/bootanimation.zip" />

reboot and enjoy! :cool:

Questions, problems, further clarification... I'm happy to help. Just leave a comment.

If you want to use any of the bootanimations I have created, go right ahead. You have permission. All I ask is that you make mention of where you got the animation and that I created it. Pretty simple. :good:
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] Angeliaco:
Hold on, shouldn't boot animations be in picture format? Last time I tried flashing an mp4, my boot animation wouldn't play. Now no other boot animations play no matter how I change it. How can this be possible?
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] akhwandk:
not working

i use this method not only didnt it work, like an idiot i didnt backup my bootanimation bin file and now i just see a blank screen:crying:
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknigt:
Hello!

i am using my nexus player on a 720p TV but i am not viewing the complete image, it truncates the image, like if the nexus player is fixed at 1080p so the image received through HDMI is 1080p, but the TV is only able to display a part of it, (centered)

i installed xbmc/kodi and it also does not let me change the output resolution, also says 1080p (though it has the option but is read-only)

there's no option to change the output resolution manually

any help?
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xBIGREDDx:
Currently there's no way to change the output resolution, but I should add that the Nexus Player always renders at 1080p internally, and then scales when it goes to output over HDMI. So, even if you're outputting at 720p, XBMC will report that you are rendering at 1080p.

Have you confirmed via your TV's display info that you're actually getting a 1080p input signal? If you're just getting overscan at 720p, that's expected and all the native apps are (supposed to be) designed to handle a 10% picture loss. Are you only noticing things cut off in XBMC, or are you missing parts of the screen in the rest of Android as well?
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknigt:
I didn't noticed until I started installing apps. all sideloaded apps have missing parts, Chrome, Sideload Launcher, xbmc, File Commander, etc...
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknigt:
WORKED!

thanks xBIGREDDx, my TV settings where wrong, it was set to Zoom instead of scale to fit.

I bought my Xperia Z1 Compact about a month ago, and today when I was updating my apps suddenly it turned off. Then, I turn it on again but it keeps restarting after it showed the Sony Logo. As same that it did when I tried to charge it plus the red LED blinking. So I decided to hard restart it using the PC Companion through the update software menu. After following the instructions, I turned on my phone and it keeps restarting after showing the Sony Logo. I did the hard restart using PC companion several times. But, it keeps restarting after showing the Sony Logo.

And now, when I press the power button, it only vibrate and not showing anything on the screen. When I tried to charge it, the red LED keeps blinking over.

I need your help, I don;t know what I must do now. So please, help me.

Use flashtool to download the official ROM for your model and if you want to, region. Follow its instructions to flash the ROM. To enter flash mode, hold power+vol up until it vibrates for 3 times to shut it off and when flashtool instructs you to turn it on, hold vol down and connect the USB cable.

How can I choose which rear camera to use in HTC One M8?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SouthernEvo:
I could be totally off target with this , but here it goes . I believe with the HTC One M8 the secondary camera is just a depth field sensor . It doesn't do anything with the main camera . I just provides secondary data for the processing of the image when you apply U focus . Much like Im sure google camera doesnt acknowledge the depth field camera either . Like I said I could be wrong I have never worked in the area of coding you are currently working on . But logic would indicate the Ufocus function pulls from the data gathered by the second camera where as the data gathered by the regular camera is the primary data .

Hello fellow T-mobile Dash users running WM6 beta...

As you all know, there is a bug (if that's indeed what it is) in the "smart dialing" capability that inserts "A,B,C" for numeral 2, "D,E,F" for numeral 3, and so on. Numeral 1 is a metacharacter (i.e. typing 1 repeatedly will just select all of your contacts).

I was looking in the registry and found a few keys that look interesting.

They are:

1) HKLM/Security/Phone/PhoneKeyMatch

2) HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/PhoneKeyMatch

There could be others, possibly relating to the keyboard driver being used, or the keyboard layout itself.

[HTC Excalibur] merwin:
SOLUTION

Here's the fix to the problem... attached to this post (contained inside a zip file)

The registry settings were exported using Resco Registry. You should have that installed to import the settings back to your APP UNLOCKED phone.

I'm pretty sure this problem will be fixed in the final version, as it was a terribly simple solution. Just a few key mappings that needed to be changed.

If you don't have Resco Registry on the smartphone, you can edit the registry with whatever editor you have, and just open up the .reg file in notepad, and make the entries match.

Note that the # key also acts as the wildcard key, so if you type in the first couple of the letters of the first name and then # and then the first couple of the last name, like JO#SMI, it will match John Smith as well. Also, if you are trying to search for something like Ralph using Ra, it will bring up all of the R's, since # also acts as the wildcard character.
