[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonutCommander:
Hi guys I have an lg g3 d855 with android 4,4,2 firmware v10l-global-com, I want to upgrade my phone with any lollipop build v20e-EUR-xx it is possible to do it with lg flashtool? or I must change the kitkat rom from the global-com to EUR-xx? because my actually rom as a lot of bloatware and I cannot set the LTE/4G as default network!

P.S.: my phone is POLAND and originally it has the v10l-EUR-xx but after it cames back from the lg repair centre I notice that they put this **** rom v10l-global-com and I want to remove it and but back the original rom!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anadim:
First you should try LG's own software, LG PC Suite, that's how I updated my G3 from KitKat to official stock LG Lollipop, by that time I had no OTA. If this method doesn't get you to 5.0 or you have possible problems, then you should upgrade it with LG Flash Tool 2014. Follow this guide right here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2785089

You can upgrade straight to the KDZ-Firmware you want, in this case V20e, you don't have to first flash the same KK from Global to EUR etc. Just make sure after flashing-upgrading to Lollipop you do a factory reset for a smooth experience.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BrickedAmbitions:
I was following Timmaaas 'How To' guide to a tee when I got to step #5 and and did the Reboot to find that my phone is now bricked. I was racking my brain trying to understand what I did wrong and I realize that I used the wrong Boot.img file when I flashed it! :(

I was having issues during the entire process and realized it was because I was using the CyanogenMod One X ROM instead of the XL. This was causing me to get an 'Error 7' until I switched to the XL and everything downloaded fine. However, I completely forgot to replace the Boot.img and ended up flashing my phone with the One X boot.img instead of the XL!

The phone is not responding at all. I did have it plugged into the computer and after it became bricked my computer downloaded the Qualcomm USB drivers for 9006 but its still not responding at all.

Is there anything I can do? It seems like all I need to do is change that one boot file and I would be golden. Please keep in mind this is my first Root so if you know of a way to fix I would really appreciate it if you can teach me in simple terms if possible.

Thanks so much! I really appreciate all you guys do at XDA you help an enormous amount of people. A donation from me is on the way! :good:

EDIT: I kept messing with the power button trying to boot it over and over and finally it launched to HTC one entry screen with the red text for a little less then 1 second but then shut back off. Maybe this gives some hope?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You're gonna need to get a jtag repair done. There's just no way for you to get the device to the bootloader in order to flash the right boot.img because it won't boot due to you borking the boot partition.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nem1yan:
Are you able to issue adb commands? If you're seeing the splash screen then you may not be completely bricked. If the device is still showing as qualcommUSB then you're likely out of luck though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BrickedAmbitions:
No I can't issue any commands. I guess its toast, oh well. How do I get the jtag repairs done?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
There's no way the phone can get to the bootloader, it ain't gonna happen with a broken boot partition.

You need to find a jtag repairer in your area.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anakha56:
Hello All,

So I recently bought a M8 and I just need some help in getting the steps nailed down correctly. Be warned long post with lots of questions...

fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 3.32.111.3

fastboot oem readcid
(bootloader) cid: T-MOB101

That is basically my device, now due to it being 4.4.4 from factory I am unable to use Sunshine & Weaksauce. I could wait until the new year but why

bother ;).

First step:

Get my factory firmware image after reading this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376 due to it being a T-Mobile and

Germany and 4.4.4 I am unable to run the command listed there to get the stock recovery, so how do I get the stock recovery for my device? [MENTION=5810139]BerndM14[/MENTION]

Has provided me with a link to download the latest firmware for my device but it has the TWRP recovery inside it, link is this one: http://www.handy-

faq.de/forum/htc_one_m8_custom_roms/304821-htc_one_m8_firmwaresammlung_ruus_otas_backups.html#post2832636. I should point out that I do have a OTA

waiting to download and install, should I download and install it? The version listed on the screen is 3.32.111.9 and is only 183.73MB. Would it have a

viable stock recovery? Can I downgrade to a older version for the stock recovery?

Second step:

Once the above is done and dusted my next step is getting root & S-OFF & custom recovery. This is relatively simple because all I need to do is visit

HTCDev, unlock and then S-OFF with Sunshine and then a custom recovery. Correct? Sounds and looks simple enough.

Third step:

Download ROM of choice and flash away. So I am going with InsertCoin due to user loyalty from the Desire days ;). However I see people in the thread

mentioning that they flashed the latest firmware to sort out a couple of issues, I take it they mean the ROM file and not HTC firmware?

Fourth and probably not needed step:

Changing the phone to WWE and SuperCID? Do I really need to do this? Benefit of changing to WWE is changing the HBOOT to a more universal one? The

reason why I am thinking of converting is because I would want to get rid of the red text on the boot screen as listed here: http://forum.xda-

developers.com/showpost.php?p=51744965&postcount=1 however for T-Mobile Dutch the HBOOT CIDS are T-MOB003, if I flash that would it cause a problem?

I would also be looking at running the commands to change the flags showing tampered and unlocked but that looks simple to do. Am I missing anything? For warranty purposes I would use the instructions from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2710735 but download the recovery file for T-MOB Germany instead?

Thank you for reading the long post and I hope that I have made some sort of sense.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Yes it will have the firmware.zip with the recovery.img inside it. Even the small 47MB or so, OTA update for the WWE from 2.22.401.4 - 2.22.401.5 had the firmware.zip inside. So just download the OTA.zip copy to PC extract firmware.zip and grab the recovery.img.

Benefits to converting to WWE or even Developer edition also includes the fact that those devices will receive OTA updates before any carrier version, directly from HTC. It's a bonus if you're into the "latest & greatest" scene.

As for making a backup before flashing custom recovery, have you tried booting the custom recovery? Philz will probably be better if you want to use the booted custom recovery to make a backup of stock recovery. You could also try and boot either TWRP or Philz and see if you can root your device without flashing custom recovery, that way you can at least use the dd command to grab a copy of the recovery block. <My preferred method, though it's a terrible circle. Need to flash custom recovery to root, need root to make backup of stock recovery... :eek: :rolleyes: So hopefully booting the custom recovery will work. That being said, easiest way still remains to grab it from the OTA.zip.

Perhaps you could even upload a copy of the OTA.zip and share it on here, I don't think the OP has a copy in the second post :confused:

ROM/Firmware. You need the latest firmware to run the latest ROM. For most it'll be firmware with 3.x. If you still run on 2.x(which you aren't) you'd have some problems with radio(bluetooth, gps, wifi, data etc)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anakha56:
Thank you for the reply :).

To be honest I have not tried booting a custom recovery because I saw this in the first post of this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

So I am not sure what to try to be honest. This toolkit: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51383278&highlight=ota#post51383278 mentions getting root without S-OFF but with a unlocked bootloader. So I am thinking that if I follow those steps, maybe when I get to the reboot phase I can execute a nandroid instead which might get me the files I want?

I won't bother with WWE then. I will rely on the dev's to give me the latest & greatest :).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Hm, yeah I also had some problems booting a recovery, but I just tested it out again. I can at least boot TWRP version 2.8.3.0 so it still works for me. I'm on 3.28.1540.5 (Developer edition). Haven't tried Philz though, net a bit too slow to bother with even a small download :(
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anakha56:
No problem. :) I am busy downloading the OTA.zip and once complete I will try the toolkit method and see what happens :). Again, thank you for the reply. :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anakha56:
I need some help... My phone seems to be stuck in fastboot mode and is not picked up in Device Manager of Windows. I can touch the fastboot screen and it vibrates but it does not nothing. I have held down the power button for 20 seconds with no result. I had just unlocked the bootloader and then tried pushing the Philz recovery image to the device with the command line:

C:\android\sdk\android\platform-tools>fastboot boot philz_touch_6.57.8-m8.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.541s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.002s]
finished. total time: 1.547s

*edit*

Holding volume up + power for 10 seconds helped *whew*...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
You don't need S-Off to root, just the unlocked bootloader, custom recovery, and superuser.

[MENTION=4987085]xunholyx[/MENTION] Thanks for the post :). I am trying to get an image of my stock recovery file first, so I am trying to avoid flashing the custom recovery right now ;). BTW Does anyone know if TWRP makes a backup of the stock recovery before overwriting it like Philz does?

[MENTION=2895182]clsA[/MENTION] I have the file

From that site but its recovery is TWRP. I am trying to grab the stock recovery currently on the device before going forward. When I unzip that file it has 6 items:

I have downloaded the OTA that is ready for my phone but I had hit a snag. The file was corrupt, on redownload I have the small OTA but the recovery version number has incremented past mine, I don't know if it will be still useable with the ROM file from the link?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
it should work, recovery does not have to be exact just close

and the file you have doesn't include TWRP .. it was created with twrp ... big difference
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
You can use any 3.32 based stock recovery for your phone. There are plenty of backups for that on this thread. No need to backup your own.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sawake:
Could it be classic bootloop? Because at first, it didn't reboot until it reached the pin screen. I thought that the problem was linked to the high temperature of the CPU, so I powered it off and waited for about an hour. When I turned it on again, it got stuck on the logo screen. I attempted to reset it, but it rebooted at "formatting /data". I thought that the problem involved even the recovery mode, but it's been for about 5 minutes in recovery now and it hasn't yet rebooted. But now I'm afraid to do anything because if it reboots while I'm flashing something or restoring backup, my phone could be bricked. What should I do? :crying:

Oh, and it's clearly not a problem with the power button.

Thanks in advance for the help!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Use Odin to flash a full stock firmware, factory reset in recovery afterward.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sawake:
I've tried doing that, but it gets stuck on "Get PIT for mapping" on Odin 3.07, and "Setup connection" on other version (I've tried with 3.09 and 3.04). I thought that the problem are the Samsung Drivers for mobile devices, so I'm about to try installing the latest ones and try with 3.09.

But I thought about something...is it okay to try restore previous rom backups? I have backups from PA 5 beta 4 (or 5) and CM11.

Thanks again for the patience.

Edit: Getting "Get PIT for mapping on 3.09 too. I've tried with 1.85, but now it's stuck on "Set up connection"

I also wonder where to find a dedicated thread or section here in XDA...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Arktronic:
There shouldn't be any i600 sections in xda-dev because it's not an HTC device. At least that's the philosophy I've seen about non-HTC stuff...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pinhead:
I LOVE that the iPhone seems like it will take full advantage the the touchscreen. Too many of these touchscreen PDA phones are trying to please the weenies who are are afraid to touch their TOUCHscreen phones so the on screen interface isn't as capable as it should be. These type of people need to go buy their MS Smartphones or Treos and let the rest of us have large TOUCHscreen phones that are useful...

The iPhone doesn't really interest me too much aside from that aspect. I just hope that Windows Mobile phone makers learn a little of what Apple can teach them without giving up the things that make phones like the Hermes and Universal better devices.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Prerna:
Yeah, that's what I thought. Anyway, XDA isn't fully committed to smartphones, like it is for PDAs.

Now, back to the main point: where can I find and install this wonderfully looking plugin for my i600?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Rickstur:
It's already on your phone, go to the display options, start screen and select turn/rotating screen or something (mine is in dutch).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Prerna:
Here's the choice I get from the "Home Screen" menu:

Samsung Simple, Samsung Popup, Samsung Calendar, Samsung Clock, Large Fonts, Orange & Windows Basic / Simple / Default.

Maybe this one was removed by Orange...

Could you extract the them and post it here please?

Sharpen it carefully step by step just to prevent them from becoming broken. Then put them together in the slot(it goes there not so smooth as before but now i have 2 simcards and sd operating together)

Profit.

But be carefull - All that you do is your own risk.

[Ascend Mate 7 Accessories] stanlawren:
The fire method involves holding your Sim with a pair of pliers or scissors and heating the plastic part under the chip on a small flame ( matchstick, lighter, candle flame etc) to separate the gold chip from the plastic and gluing the chip to your SD card.
