[Verizon LG G3] docmarioce:
Thanks I have downgraded and rooted my phone. I want to be able to install kit Kat ROMs. I don't care about taking OTA to 12B if I can install ROMs based in 12B anyway. Should I bump with TWRP? Are there any bumped ROMs that are worth it? I am not planning in installing android L in my device in the future anyways since my Samsung Gear 2 watch won't work with it. I just want to start flashing this phone away.

Thanks
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
Before you can even begin to flash ROMs, you have to install TWRP.

As for which ROMs are worth it, I have no idea. Most are LP ROMs and currently LP is not completely stable and there still are issues to be worked out.

I myself am happy running full stock 12B rooted. I am bumped in case I want to flash a ROM, but at this time, I don't have any desire to flash a ROM at the current moment.

Best thing is to go and read about the ROMs in the developer section. Note what issues people are having and which ROM is best for you is up to you. Everyone has their preferences. Asking "which ROM is the best" is not a question that can be answered since it's all down to personal preferences and what issues you can live with.
[Verizon LG G3] android-incredible:
If you have twrp installed. First thing you have to do is backup your stock rom
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
You don't "bump with twrp".

Normally code in the bootloader prevents the loading of unsigned stuff like kernels and custom recoveries. That includes TWRP, but Team Codefire figured out a way to fake the signature onto things like twrp and aosp ROMs, by changing slightly their images. This allows them to load.
[Verizon LG G3] Jimi Mack:
A quick question: If you had to flash back to 10b to be Rooted and Bumped how did you wind up on a fully stock 12b rooted and bumped if you did not flash a rom. You should not have been able to upgrade if you downgraded your phone to 10b to root and bump which if I recall takes away the ability to upgrade to 12b while rooted and bumped without flashing a rom. Or do you have another method? Thanks.
[Verizon LG G3] ohlin5:
So far from all I have read, users have been able to progress from 10B to 11C and on to 12B all while maintaining root. You can only gain root, however, while on 10B. Once you have root you can install TWRP whenever. However, you cannot take an OTA while you have TWRP installed....I mean you can, but you'll get stuck in a boot loop ;) By far the easiest and best thing to do if you're looking for stability and compatibility of stock would be to install an awesome, stock-based rom like Jasmine rom - that way you get all the benefits of the latest VZW updates, while keeping all the stability of full stock, and not "risking" anything by accidentally accepting some OTA down the road. :) Just my 2 cents!
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
I didn't bump until after I otad to 12b. First, I stumped rooted on 10b. Then I told SuperSU to maintain root across otas. Once I updated to 12b, that's when I bumped in case I wanted to flash a rom or do a nandroid backup.

Of course, if a new ota comes out, I'll have to downgrade back to 10b and root again before I can take it.
[Verizon LG G3] Jimi Mack:
That is what I had thought but was not sure if I missed a method other than that, thank you.

I have problem with touch after few days of using my phone. I factory restarted my phone and using about 3 days and happends again. Problem is after few days my touch lag, my double tap doesn't work and if i texting a message when i press some letter it don't responde or take character with lon press example i press e and it put é. I'm with locked bootloader and 4.4.4 stock rom. I don't want to factory reset my phone every 3 days. Can somebody help me? This happens i think when loosing network :(
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Flash a FTF via flashtool and exclude data, if it still does it then it may be your hardware at this point
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vuja1:
I also use Buff armor screen protector, can be problem because screen protector? How can I test my eMMC ? I saw that u wrote in one post to check lag, but i have lag only after 3 days, and when i turn off screen and turn on touch doesn't response, after restart touch works smooth. I will try to flash FTF like u siad, but what FTF to choose, I'm on unlocked phone D6503 and I need for Europe or it doesn't metter, just to be generic?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
FTF can be generic, and of any country but spesificly for your device aka D6503

(some branded ones have a simlock thing)

Im not sure about screen protector, usualy if its realy thick but then the entire screen wouldent respond
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vuja1:
Thanks a lot. Phone I have 6 days , three days ago I had this problem and last night. When the signal is weak I have a feeling that that creates problems. More seems to me that the software itself , because apps have lag, slow open apps. If happens again I'll see to record that and put on youtube . Thanks in any case , I'll try what you've suggested so I'll see how it stands phone .

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] benjewman:
Hey guys so apparently i own an iPhone 6 Plus. I had my note 4 in my back pocket for maybe an hour or so and when i was looking at it the next day, i noticed it had a slight bend in it starting at the volume rocker. Along with the phone bending, it also sent a hairline crack through the display which is really small but its still there. I tried to get a picture of it but its so fine it was rather hard. My question is do you think the samsung warranty will RMA it and also folks, keep those notes out of your back pocket.

Like i said the pictures dont really show the damage well but trust me it is there.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] deathshead:
It was a dumb decision to put the device in your rear pocket. These phones are extremely rigid compared to an Iphone 6.

99% Samsung will laugh you off the phone.

1% They might "Hook you up"
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mrbracht:
Wow.. Seriously.. Lol. . Why would you have your phone in your back pocket to start with?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jpfulton248:
Maybe benjewman is actually a chick. That could explain it. I put (correction: used to put) my phones in my back pocket occasionally too. Can't really explain why.... just wanted to give a little support. Nobody likes getting kicked when their down.

[MENTION=4855947]benjewman[/MENTION], do you have insurance on it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] benjewman:
no i am not a chick

no i do not really know why i put the phone in my back pocket, it is convenient with such a **** huge phone. yes i do have insurance but id rather not pay for my dumb mistakes.

i think the point your all missing is that the phone still bent when it isnt supposed to and smasung put out a video demonstarting that it shouldnt bend under butt pressure but it still did which is why i think they would take care of it.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] RKight:
I was actually going to post the same video. If they're going to advertise like that, they should stand behind their claims. I'm a guy and I put my phone in my back pocket. Why? Well, it would be awkward to walk with it in a front pocket, I don't always feel like carrying it around, and I don't want a belt holster. The only other option would be to carry a man-bag and I'd really rather not.

Edit: I should add that I always take it out of my pocket before sitting down. I just hold it or sit it close by if I'm sitting.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] sparky19692:
What i am the only loser that carries in the back pocket?

I manage an entire shop the reason I bought an note 4 so that I could have all my documentation with me and take quick notes where else would you put it? I'm only a hundred and sixty pound guy but I must have sat on it 200 times by now and never had a problem. If you say a clip on holster and give him grief then I just don't know what to tell all you geeks, old men and chair surfers. Holsters snag on everything flipping your phone out and when out of style with the Dukes of Hazard and there 4"folding knife. Your front pocket pinches something I would rather not have pinched unless its my wife andd your front shirt pocket looks worse than a pocket protector and also falls out.

Just use your insurance its not like it was a stupid mistake that's what you get it for.

So flame away lol.

But seriously just have it replaced

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oilfighter:
Why would you be surprised that the phone will bend if you sit on it? I mean... isn't it obvious?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] nh97103:
If I were you, I'd call and tell them it should not have bent from what is normal use. You didn't drop it, and you didn't put it through anything any one of us wouldn't also. They should (should being the important word; who knows what they'll do) fix it, free of charge.

Good luck.

Edit: Wait a minute. Were you walking around, or did you sit on it? Because if you sat on it, you kind of deserved it. :confused:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tu3218:
I don't want to go off topic but that mentality is partially, if not mostly in place because of the older generations bad parenting. Simple as that. Children, teenagers behaviors are a big reflection of the level of parenting they had. I do agree with you but the reason for that mentality had to be made clear.

As for the OP, I'm willing to say you got a "bad" device. Just as anything can go wrong with any piece of technology or car. This definitely isn't a known issue so definitely an odd occurrence. But as others had said, I would never put a phone in a back pocket. Not only can you risk breaking it, but it can also fall out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ACiDxCHRiST:
Please don't sit on your phone and then act surprised when you damage/destroy it. It is an electronic device. I am looking around my house at all my electronics and I am having a hard time finding one that I would sit on (Laptop, Astro A40 Headset, Monitor, Scanner, Printer, TV, PS4, TiVo, NEST Thermostat, Blender, George Forman Grill). I mean really?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strayckler:
I have a rooted Note 3, snapdragon variant. Rooted with towelroot

The main reason i rooted was to change the screen's dpi; i cant stand having everything oversized at 480dpi

I changed the dpi by editing the build.prop

My question is, what would happen if i unrooted (through SuperSU) and then did a factory reset without manually changing the dpi back to default?

Would it stay changed or would it revert to 480?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HSD-Pilot:
It will stay. Factory Reset doesn't touch System Files, it only removes the User (Data) Files. It's not like an flash with Odin.

So all changes you're doing with your System won't revert by doing an Factory Reset.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strayckler:
So I can have, say, 380dpi settings even if i unroot by not changing the build.prop back?

What happens if i want to change it back to the default?

I'd have to root again so that i can edit the build.prop?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HSD-Pilot:
Exactly.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
Of course it stayed at the value you have set.

Because the build.prop file is on system partition. And factory reset only affect the userdata, not system partition.

Is there a way to reflash stock firmware without tripping knoxx?

I'm using offical H3G MJ3 firmware without root and I've started getting random reboots. I've tried a factory reset several times and have also gone through my apps to see if any of them are causing it.

I take it that you have downloaded the Active Sync for Vista 4.5

Once you have this downloaded, when you first connect your device it will install all the new drivers and carry out the process of setting up the syc data.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Arktronic:
For the RUUs, you have to replace the WMDC drivers with the old ActiveSync ones; there's a thread on that somewhere. As for the USB modem, I would recommend switching to a WM6 ROM - it no longer uses the weird modem drivers, it just appears as a network device automatically, at least in XP, but I would assume Vista has that driver built in because XP does.
