[Amazon Fire Phone] techiesportsfan:
Really wish there was root for the fire phone. I don't even want Google services or play. Just want to remove junk preloaded apps so my phone has a minimum footprint on the processor. Plus I guess I like having a clean phone as well. I hope the devs can work some magic to find a good root method.
[LG Optimus G Pro] KrisM22:
Should get it tomorrow - used E980(ATT)

My plan is to OTA update (wifi) to the latest (May 2014 (h) I believe)

Then towel root to root it (latest I could find is 111KB)(2 locations including the lambda)

Then play install SuperSU and install that (I normally flash SuperSU from recovery after flashing a ROM(and gapps))

Then, if root tests okay:

install FreeGee from play and run it to unlock BL and flash recovery (probably Philz, or CWM since BlissPop seems to have trouble with TWRP)(or versa visa)(darn)

Intent is to then upgrade stock to make it usable (apps and all)(TiBkpPro, etc), and then back it up and play with BlissPop and/or CM11N, and whatever.

Anyone see any problems with my plan?

THANKS!!!

(coming from a year of Moto Atrix HD)

(Mod move to Q&A please :D )

Dunno, yesterday I got a G Pro E988 on KitKat cannot be rooted via Towelroot keep saying device not supported. More worst I can't flash any ROM on it, not detectable by LG Mobile Flasher either. Luckily I got make a backup with TWRP.
[LG Optimus G Pro] KrisM22:
off topic.

but, since you've got TWRP, bootloader is unlocked, ergo, stock is rooted. Try install SuperSU from googleplay, and run it. Check with checkroot app. Dunno as I am not at all experienced with any LGOGP. Good luck!!!
[LG Optimus G Pro] soralz:
It's rooted after I found a method. Using Korean G Pro root method than I manage to flash recovery via flashify. Other recovery that require's loki I am unable to use it, cannot flash CM11 ROM's on it.

Like this, if I can't put CM on it I leave it in drawer pending for selling. P/s: I didn't use the phone more than 4 hours. LOL

[LG Optimus G Pro] KrisM22:
Uh, yeah - you were off topic, HOWEVER, it appears that freegee is not working correctly as it failed on my E980. I used that app to send shellnut an email, so hopefully he sees that and fixes that if possible. (Note, my E980 arrived with 20h - ie - current.

So while waiting for that, at least I have root so I will go ahead and spruce up stock and back it up. if it doesn't get fixed, I will be relatively happy on stock as many seem to like that best.
[LG Optimus G Pro] soralz:
Well, anyway for some reason I have decided to keep it because now I am able to flash ROM's and root it already. My method is I downgraded from E98820b to E98820a firmware then I am able to root it and enter download mode.
[LG Optimus G Pro] KrisM22:
Yeah, keep it...

I on the other hand just hosed mine by trying to flashify a lokified recovery, so now all I get is a

Secure booting error

Cause: booting certification verify.

Any idea how I fix that? All I can find is tot files, no sdk or whatever that the program requires...

how did you downgrade from b to a?
[LG Optimus G Pro] soralz:
Do you still remember your build number and Android version?

Are you able to enter download mode? Vol up + down + USB Cable.
[LG Optimus G Pro] KrisM22:
Just put it in DL mode - thanks!

as I recall: 4.4.2, 20h is all I remember.

it offers me ra,kdz or rc.kdz which one? or some other?
[LG Optimus G Pro] soralz:
Base on your region choose the appropriate *.kdz file. Then use LG Flash Tool 2014 to flaah it.

[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
"BlissPop seems to have trouble with TWRP"

Freegee TWRP + BOSP == no problems for me. :)
[LG Optimus G Pro] KrisM22:
Hi, and thanks for that note.

However, I have no way to flash anything other than stock as freegee doesn't work and the thing, I think it was you, suggested(G Pro Recovery GK), didn't either.

Slightly bummed... LOL At least I have root and can run stock tailored.
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
Why doesn't Freegee work? I know I could never get it to work unless I flashed the Sphinx GPro recovery first, as Freegee wouldn't recognize my e980 as worthy until I did so. Then after that Freegee would open-arm me and let me pick between its CWM or TWRP recovery. (I don't bother with any of those anymore, as I've put together a batch file that does it all in one swoop, as I'm constantly flashing my phone, and I can't be bothered with Towelroot or Freegee's online-only crap. So there.)

The game goes:

- Root.

- (I always install the ADBD Insecure app here, as you can then remount the system as read/write, full root access via ADB, so no more clock-blocking to impede your dominance.)

- Flash Sphinx GPro Recovery, but *do not* reboot into it, as you *will* get errors when you try to flash most anything. Instead, directly after install the recovery from Sphinx GPro:

- Install Freegee and now that GPro recovery is flashed, Freegee will recognize your device and should work flawlessly.

There is also the option of flashing the TWRP 2.8 from the Sphinx GK Recovery, as it is by far the very nicest recovery option for this device. It is, however, buggy, and not rock-solid like the Freegee TWRP. There is also Philz recovery, which has a lot more features than CWM, but every time I've used it (many times), it has gave me problems and forced me to flash back to stock. IMHO: Freegee's CWM or TWRP is the way to go for stability, and the way to go for successful flashing.

(Note: this is for an e980, anything else is uncouth.)
[LG Optimus G Pro] KrisM22:
Thanks for reply!

okay, what I did was

(run towelroot and install SuperSU (from play), run that and reboot)

install "adbd insecure" (from play) and checked both boxes

ran sphinx gpro recovery 6044 (link above)

but didn't reboot

.

ran freegee and had it install cwm6047

Now how do I boot into cwm : vol-up+power !

EDIT: don't forget to put this on your SD card http://xdaforums.com/optimus-g-pro/help/guide-how-to-fix-recovery-bootloop-t2950716 so you can escape the boot to recovery loop.

PM me your paypal and I'll donate thanks!!!
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
From device off:

- Hold VOL+ and POWER key together until you the LG logo comes up, then briefly let go of the power button then immediately press down again, while still holding the VOL+ button, and hold it until the LG logo screen disappears, then let go of both of those buttons and tap VOL-, VOL-, POWER -- do not hold, just tap (I'm not certain this last step is needed, but it doesn't hurt, as long as you don't hold the buttons down, just tap, quickly press. :)

That'll get you into TWRP.

Or you can boot up the device entirely, normally and use ADB to do it,

via a shell/console/command prompt:

adb devices <---- this should read 'device' and not unauthorized.

adb reboot recovery <---- this will reboot your device in recovery mode.

If you get into TWRP and the touchscreen doesn't work, that can be fixed/bypass by initiating a device reset from a cold boot (holding down both volume buttons and power button until it asks for Reset, then pressing power again to go for it). Sometimes it's a problem, but since you did GPro over kitkat first, probably not.

EDIT: okay, I see CWM is now on the menu: same deal, just ignore the touchscreen TWRP part, as you'll probably be thankful to *not* use the touchscreen in CWM (it's a bit annoying and laggy, but usable, whereas TWRP w/o touchscreen is worthless).
[LG Optimus G Pro] KrisM22:
Thanks! I had edited that post while you were replying.

I used freegee again to just flash cwm 6047 since twrp didn't seem to want to backup to external sd card. I just backed up with cwm and restoring now to check it...

Huge thanks!!!!

Thanks, but 'XDA Guidelines, Standard Conduct, and Practices, Vol. VI' maintains that all donations less than 6 digits in size, must be funneled into at least one of these prequalified outlets, and I quote,

- Taking mom out for pancakes.

- Spoonfeeding a homeless person two cheeseburgers (lullaby optional).

- Scratch & Lose lottery ticket surreptitiously deposited into a place where the results of discovery can be viewed and enjoyed.

- Chili dogs.

- Cat litter + shelter/pound = not quite chili dog-level, but quite admirable.

and it goes on, so forth, in that manner. I'd just dump it all into a Galaga machine anyways.

interesting... I was reading through the index and stumbled on PhilzTouch (I have generally used PT in the past) so flashed philz_touch_6.48.4-e980.zip from CWM6047 recovery , from https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/e980/

I was amazed to find that a restore of stock took 15 min on CWM6047, but only 7:18 on PT(8:00 backup) - definite Yay! Course I lost my Blisspop backup in the process but got it back today - waiting for the CM12 nightlies...
[LG Optimus G Pro] ericb3800:
So freegees twrp had no touchscreen? I've been wanting to try blisspop ROM for awhile just not informed enough. I'm coming from the lateat kk firmware.I was gonna tot back to jb, bypass BL with freegee, from there I'm not 100 percent! Can I flash with either or do I need an updated recovery to flash Bliss pop? I downloaded madmacks updated twrp 2.6.1 but I understand it can't mount ext SD? Then I read about 2.8.1 , but the zip only works works when coming from a cm based ROM. Couldn't DL it anyways. But it seemed to Bethe recovery to use for lollipop.

So should I just flash cwm? Are there any issues with it? Or flash twrp 2.81 right after installing blisspop?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!
[LG Optimus G Pro] hawkwind212:
Try Philz's touch cwm recovery, it's the touch cwm with a lot of modifications. You can change the looks, colors, fonts, and a lots of neat stuff, just have to try it for your self to discover. Search xda's forum or Google it.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msburr87:
So I am having a really annoying issue on the 2014 Moto X running Android 5.0 on Verizon

Incoming MMS are extremely low quality, like less than 30kb. I can send pictures at normal resolution ~700kb-1mb

Troubleshooting I've tried (pretty much tried it all):

* Tried every app: hangouts, stock, vzw mess+, google messanger (and went through all settings)

* Tried on and off wifi and data

* Had people from different carriers send messages

* Had people from different platforms send messages

* Compared my APN settings to those at the Verizon store and they are identical

* Factory reset multiple times using different set up methods and apps

-this actually worked where I received one normal sized MMS through the Verizon messaging + app, but then subsequent MMS were small again.

* Got a new sim from verizon

* Spoke to technical support and Verizon and did all their odd trouble shooting (primarily sending myself a bunch of pics)

Anyway this is really annoying and a point of frustration, and have read it happening to other people but doesn't seem to be widespread.

Even though everything else is good. Is this happening to anyone else?

[APP][MTK][4.0+] MTK Engineer Mode

After a time and a good support by you...

I'm presenting the new MTK Engineer Mode app, NOW AVAILABLE ON PLAY STORE!

Only for phones with MEDIATEK processors! Not for Qualcomm Snapdragon, Samsung Exynos, HiSilicon Kirin, etc.

MTK Engineer Mode is a secret menu on your Mediatek smartphone, in which you can configure and test the Hardware and the Software, modifying the factory values.

You will have access to:

- Telephony

- Connectivity

- Tests and hardware settings (Camera, TouchPanel, Vibration, Audio ...)

- Tests and Location settings

- Log and Debugging

- Software Settings

- Others

I am not responsible for any damage to your phone or loss of data due to bad use of engineer mode. If you are uncertain use, I suggest you do not install my app, the engineer mode is for expert users who know what they do.

Changelog:

v3.3.1
- Small bug fixes
