Is there anyway to root the phone after upgrade to 5.0 by KDZ?
[G3 General] Nadirchine:
no root yet for F460 android 5.0.1
[G3 General] tommy1971:
Cool! Upgraded, application launch and switching seems faster, Chrome is faster too
[G3 General] raz0r09:
Not cool. There isn't any Lollipop custom ROM available. And maybe there won't be any Custom ROM in the future (like the very small amount of KK Custom ROMs).
[G3 General] relevant_placeholder:
Finally some gathering, subbed.

Now to get the bumped twrp and unpack system, radio and boot img so we can have rooted lollipop too..

Custom Recovery?

Has anyone been able to find/install a custom recovery? Have an F460k, I had one custom recovery installed (can't remember the name), but it couldn't make nandroid backups, could only flash zips. Didn't want to risk flashing anything without having a backup first.

Also, any good custom roms? I know the Sphinx rom is available but I've already frozen/uninstalled all my bloatware so not sure if that's necessary.
[G3 General] BoredKender:
It has to be on KK base to flash due to recovery, correct?

-edit-

Disregard, I was not aware that Bender had finished an AutoRec for the 460K (definitely buying him a beer on payday).

Thanks for the good info! System is backing up now
[G3 General] ojpd:
If you have time, could you please share how you installed the rom? Translate doesn't really help much in translating the the step by step guide of the Vietnamese site..
[G3 General] BoredKender:
After installing the custom recovery I was stuck in a bootloop so I installed this rom to see how it goes. Worst case scenario I made a backup first and can try to debug the bootloop but for now it was a good enough excuse to try something new!
[G3 General] BoredKender:
As a heads up, the AutoRec on the site is not built nor endored by [MENTION=3279781]bender_007[/MENTION] and has been declared a kang in the main AutoRec thread.
[G3 General] EMJI79:
What's a kang?
[G3 General] relevant_placeholder:
Fork
[G3 General] BoredKender:
Not so much a fork as stolen and butchered code
[G3 General] NinjaCoool:
How is the performance so far? Always been hesitant to upgrade to lollipop. :)
[G3 General] relevant_placeholder:
I'm not familiar with details, was just replying to what kang is.

For posterity sake, fork is when someone's code, open source mostly, is forked and modifications are made on it to modify or add some feature because:

1.the original developer isn't developing anymore

2.isn't available

3.isn't accepting the proposed change

or you just want to modify it privately for your own use.

By thanks for commenting, anything to support this claim?

From there on down covers the basics, the rest was in PM with [MENTION=3279781]bender_007[/MENTION]. To sum it up, bender's source code was never opened.
[G3 General] bender_007:
To be more specific, this happened also a month ago and that person apologized, it was accidently etc.

What exactly happened?

They took the apk, replaced files inside, replaced the icon and background image, model check and package name. So the package name represents the "coder".

I'm too tired to go for it or to report it or...anything, this is over for me and I honestly don't care, it only shows disrespect.

At least you've got your recovery.
[G3 General] relevant_placeholder:
I see. Well, that sucks. This kind of stuff can make a person give up developing altogether. Keep up the good work, don't let it grind you down.

F460k OTA update error

hi guys. I just received a brand new F400s and i am not able to update it to lollipop. When i go into update center and then phone version update, after clicking on check now for update, it gives me an error "update service is limited. Please contact lg service center". I am currently downloading the lg pc suite. I have attached the software information. Also, I put up in India and I don't know whether that's the problem as my G3 is Korean variant. Thanks for helping out a noob

Can I flash F460k lollipop kdz manually using download mode

But if I do so

These are all LG Korean refurbished phones.. But they don't support it and not licensed to sell in korea. That's why e-commerce sites selling these phones with deep discount. But I wonder can I able to flash lollipop kdz file manually. If I do so will it affect SIM lock or no SIM read issue?

---------- Post added at 11:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 PM ----------

It's F460k not F400s
[G3 General] EMJI79:
Use Lg Flash Tool to flash whatever LG CSMG Tool kdz gives you then you can get ota till you root your phone, wherever you are.
[G3 General] BoredKender:
For those that tried that recovery on 5.0 did anyone else get bootloop out of curiosity?
[G3 General] AhmedRana:
Thanks for the share.

This ROM looks like G4? Is it a port of G4?

I haven't. Do you have k l or s?
[G3 General] novadaemon:
Ah I have the F460L. Apparently, it is just a 24mb update and it fixed call quality and a few bugs. I don't know which bugs it fixed though.

Apparently there is now a TWRP by JZ option. Google translate is kinda sketchy so I am trying to digest it slowly
[G3 General] EMJI79:
Do we need it when we can flash Xposed via FlashFire?
[G3 General] BoredKender:
Need? not necessarily. But this does help open the door for custom roms (which we are sorely lacking).

I like variety as well as having "oh damn that went wrong" survival. Plus this was actually made for our device whereas FF says there is no intentional support for us.
[G3 General] Cullenator:
Has anyone tried this? Are the TWRP menus English?
[G3 General] BoredKender:
I plan on trying after work if nobody else does by then
[G3 General] nhocpoping:
Yes I'm using this, can confirm it's working and Menu is english, the chinese theme comes in an addon package so don't worry, anyway AFAIK u're gonna need to install some other files which is 4.4BL and 5.0 bumped kernel so it can work... I can share if u're interested in.
[G3 General] BoredKender:
That would be fantastic. Can you PM me with the process you took to install as well? Or post it here if you prefer that, whichever. Thanks!
[G3 General] Cullenator:
Yeah that would be really helpful! I can't seem to find the password for the baidu download page... I'll try "adjusting" the page a little next...

1stly, notice that root is required.

In that forum, at the end of the 1st post you can find the Recovery Installer APKs (aware of ur S/L/K variant).

after flashing that Recovery, u can continue flashing the TWRP in the rec...
[G3 General] BoredKender:
Darn I was hoping for a way that did not involve that since last time i tried to use it i got stuck in a boot loop on stock
[G3 General] nhocpoping:
Sadly i don't think there are anyway for us to do further without root since Bootloader is locked. LG just officially realeases it BL unlock tool for LG G4, hopefully our G3 will get it soon...
[G3 General] BoredKender:
Didn't mean root, meant the fake AutoRec. After bootlooping plus finding out it was hacked together I have issues with trusting it.

Edit- ironically i just got the notification for 20j update. 30Mb
[G3 General] juggernaut1997:
Did you lose root after the update?
[G3 General] BoredKender:
I haven't applied it yet, I have some other projects with my Cat6 in the works and don't want to increase my variables by that much.

Maybe this weekend if everything else goes well.
[G3 General] Cullenator:
Even if you lose root, you can get it back really easily with the LG One Click Root tool, which has worked for me 3 times when I've lost root from a flashed update (so far). :)

Also, did anyone else notice that the thread for the SphinX ROM has a link for a CWM-based recovery for the F460L/K/S? I've tried it (and SphinX) and they're both quite good. I'm actually thinking of sticking with SphinX instead of upgrading stock. I'm more interested in having less Korean bloatware than I am in having Lollipop.

(BTW, this is all on an F460L, and of course YMMV.)
[G3 General] EMJI79:
Anyone has this problem:

a few weeks ago the "OK Google" feature was working everywhere, even on the lock screen and then at some point it stopped working while I have not touched to the ROM (20h).

?
[G3 General] relevant_placeholder:
Me too. Kind of not in the mood to redo it all again. Usually the only working way (for me) is to flash the v20c kdz, then apply every update since and then apply root.

Have you found any better solution?
[G3 General] BoredKender:
Nope, is the same here. I am hoping to find a way to make the update into a flashable .zip this weekend though
[G3 General] relevant_placeholder:
I've downloaded ota but it is just a blob without extension.
[G3 General] juggernaut1997:
My problem was that somehow my recovery is wiped out along with download mode after using flash fire to flash xposed. So im afraid of doing anything that can potentially brick my phone
[G3 General] relevant_placeholder:
DO NOT UPDATE TO 20J! I just wasted a day of my life on absolute nonsense and at the end the only thing this update did is disable download mode root. Had to redo the whole shebang again to get it to e. Ffs..
[G3 General] BoredKender:
Phew glad I read that in time, was literally about to push the "install now" when I hit refresh and saw your post, thanks!

Should be as a warning to all letters, next update disables system remount through download mode. Kinda pissed off, still didn't wear off how much time was wasted.

I downgraded to KITKAT by flashing v10i from lollipop and installed root and recovery and flashed this LAM HOANG rom. This ROM have the UI of G4 and the developer is in progress of porting G4 to G3 and he is updating ROM progressively. It looks like it is the only active custom rom on progress for CAT6 currently. BTW we do not have the permanent recovery for Lollipop and i am understanding from the chinese forum how temporary recovery installed on lollipop. But i am facing little difficult in this ROM as my signal reception is dropping frequently. Baseband is showing unknown. I do not know why. Today i will reinstall the rom and update the status.
[G3 General] Pannam:

How to ROOT and Install RECOVERY on F460K stock Lollipop to install custom ROMS

Here you go.

Do not flash from KITKAT. I faced frequent signal dropping and baseband issue after installing LAM HAONG ROM. It is only recommended to install from the Lollipop stock rom. So i flashed Lollipop v20c KDZ again on F460K. And rooted lollipop using the LG ONE CLICK ROOT http://sourceforge.net/projects/avicohh/files/Android/LG_One_Click_Root_by_avicohh.exe/download

After rooted. You can easily install recovery for F460k lollipop stock rom from this link. It is an APK file. https://mega.co.nz/#!bEUhAT4Z!C_oJ9lo8sOqTy-AyMSDsdtWKQCdALnOU9zJds8bm8qM

Reboot to recovery ( Either you can reboot to recovery using the reboot apk file https://www.dropbox.com/s/9gox6ga7n7cqyf9/reboot.apk?dl=0

or Turn off your F460K phone Press Volume up and Power button once you see the LG logo release buttons and immediately press and hold both volume up and volume down at the same time until you see the factory reset screen. Select yes for factory reset do not worry it will not reset the phone rather it will get you to the CWM recovery select the language English or Chinese and from there you can install this ROM. Do not forget to copy the LAM HAONG cat6 v1.3 rom to internal storage :)

You can download the latest version of LAM HAONG CAT6 v1.3 from the following link. https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B4A_4ShpmQx1ckJyRHpPNUFFRFU&export=download

This version having complete UI of LG G4 ported UX 4.0 and LG G4 camera ported for me it is stable and main thing is this ROM is basaed on international standard so all korean bloatwares and carrier things wiped out completely and it is a complete english version. Go a head. All the best.
[G3 General] juggernaut1997:
Nah man u dont understand i lost my recovery and the download mode so i cant do that. What i need is the kitkat kdz file for f460k and if i can flash it through flash fire?
[G3 General] EMJI79:
LG CSMG to find the kdz and download it to your PC and then LG Flash Tool to flash it via USB
[G3 General] vinodh3:
http://androidforums.com/threads/tool-lg-laf-recovery-multitool-v1-2.863389/ This tool may not work for your phone anyway I am new to android os But what i understand from the above thread. By any chance If you have the LAF.img backed up you can restore it back using adb server command from pc
[G3 General] vinodh3:
Here you go. Give a try it may work

:crying: It is not possible to flash KDZ using FLASH FIRE

Okay here you go ->

On your PC or Laptop

Download ADB files from here http://www.mediafire.com/download/yfms6s1j85cae8t/adb-and-fastboot-files.zip

Prepare your phone

Enable developer options: Go to your phone’s Settings » select About phone » Scroll to the bottom and tap on “Build number” seven times to enable developer options

Enable USB Debugging: Open phone’s Settings » select Developer options » Tick the “USB debugging” checkbox (under Debugging section)

Connect your phone to PC with a USB cable and if/when a pop-up screen shows up on Phone asking you to ‘Allow USB debugging?‘ for the computer, make sure you tick the checkbox and tap OK.

If you not getting the pop up then try to change the connection mode from MTP to LG software or some other. You will get that above pop up sure

Navigate to the folder where you have extracted the adb and fastboot recovery files and hold SHIFT key on your keyboard and RIGHT CLICK and select “Open command window here”

Now type/paste the following ADB commands to backup LG Download Mode (laf), so you can restore it later when necessary

adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf of=/sdcard/laf.img

Above command may not work. This is to make sure whether you have the laf.img on your phone still there or not. if it not found on the adb command server window you will get the error like file not found. If it is successfully transferred in the command. You will find the laf.img file on internal storage.

If it successful then you can restore it back using the following command

dd if=/sdcard/backup/laf.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf

Anyway since you not able to go to download mode i am sure laf.img file should deleted or corrupted.

Make sure before your device also F460k. This is my LAF.img file which i backed up from my LG F460K.

Here is the link to download https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwN7W0QIul3WLXBiM0pRQkpaQ00/view?usp=sharing

Copy it to your internal storage on your phone and run this adb command

dd if=/sdcard/backup/laf.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf

Mostly you may get secure boot error. If you had your recovery and laf.img backed up by any chance first try that if not then give a try on my laf.img

We used to get to download mode when mobile is powered off and then press and hold the volume up button and plugin the usb cable. Since download mode is gone on your device the same way you do it will get you to the FASTMODE rather than download mode. If it is getting you to the FASTMODE only you can copy the laf.img file to adb extracted folder and run the adb shell command fastboot flash laf laf.img

Kitkat v10i kdz for F460k: https://mega.co.nz/#!IZ1nyITb!X1Gu1nymLYzNYm_3bFbv1JAM3o1BK3k0uuiWMPPDOjE

10y update

Just bought a used G3 F460S a few days ago (June 13,2015). Software version was F460S10e. Ran the update on the phone and got the F460S10y. Running on 4.4.2, completely stock, not rooted yet either. As soon as my laptop is fixed, I'll root. Don't know if it's useful for anyone to know this but hadn't seen anyone mention 10y version and thought I'd share. I'm starting to think I should have purchased the regular G3 as there's so much more support for it. I'm located in Saigon, Vietnam. There seems to be a bit of Vietnamese f460 support. My cousin runs a cellphone shop and keeps up to date with cell phone tech and news. Let me know if there's anything I (or he) can do to help.

[G3 General] Cullenator:
At the bottom of the first post of this thread: http://lgviet.com/forum/threads/lam-hoang-g3-cat6-f460-l-s-k.41726/, there are links for recoveries. You can use them to flash JZ Recovery (kind of like CWM Recovery) for your model.

Update: Just tried this and it led to a "Security Error" boot screen... :/ YMMV, but I can't say I'd recommend this. :/
[G3 General] Cullenator:
Whew! That was a pain... But in the process of restoring, I got the latest factory image I could find for the 460l, which turned out to be 20c (Lollipop 5.0.1).

It's nice, but with all the Korean bloatware, I'm probably going to try the Lam Hoang or latest SphinX ROM.
