[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huntervn:
because you are in super cid, and s-off so you can flash any FW , you can refer thread Firmware Flashing without the panic attacks... ;)

Instructions:

1. Download firmware of choice in above links

2. Rename firmware to 0P6BIMG.zip (the first character is a zero, NOT A LETTER O)

3. Put renamed firmware.zip on your external_SD

4. Boot into your bootloader and make sure your in hboot and let it update its firmware.

5. No PC, no adb, no fastboot, no terminal is needed, just a root explorer to rename and transfer the renamed firmware file to external_sd

6. After you have updated your firmware, make sure to remove the 0P6BIMG.zip from your external_sd because it will ask to update your firmware everytime your reboot to your bootloader which it is technically supposed to do but its unnecessary after you have done it once (unless you are planning on flashing firmware again).

7.Profit!

Yeah.....He still needs to know the info I asked him about.

Plus when he said "place it in the root of my file" shows he already looked at that thread or one similar. He doesn't understand it, so by sending him back to the thread, you're not really helping him much.

I'm not trying to rag on you, I'm just trying to help you to help others.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blundog:
I appreciate the help. I was able to update my firmware first try. I vaguely remembered watching my friend do it to 4.4.4 a while back and when I started doing it I would remember but couldn't have gotten started without help on here. Now, I'm attempting to update twrp. I'm on 2.8.3 and need it to 2.8.4. I've downloaded flashify and have terminal emulator up but not sure where to go from here?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blundog:
Ha! I did it. Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Don't use flashify. Download this onto your phone. It's the official TWRP 2.8.4.0

Rename it to "twrp.img" (no quotes) and move it from downloads onto the root of your internal storage using a file explorer. (I recommend ES File Explorer) By root of, I mean not in a folder, just on the internalSD.

Open terminal emulator and type:

su (hit enter)

dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p43 (hit enter and don't screw up that command, copy and paste recommended)

That will bring you up to the newest version.

EDIT: I saw you solved your issue while I was trying to respond. :good:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blundog:
Yeh, thanks for the help. I didn't use flashify, I used the app, actually. At first it said unsuccessful but I rebooted into recovery and it was updated. A little weird but whatevr works, I guess. So if I put the. IMG on the root of my sdcard I can't use hboot ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Yes! That happens to me too. I almost always use the TWRP Manager app, and it almost always crashes, but I think the crash only happens when it tries to get back into the app after the flash. It's buggy, but it works. After the crash, the new version is always installed.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torchwolfery:
Hi all, so like a lot of overzealous flashers I loaded up the early release kk rom and flashed the n8000 bootloader on my n8010. Now I would like to reflash my device with a original firmware with odin. But as most of you know you can't flash original 8010 firmware if you have the 8000 bootloader... I saw somewhere that I could unpack the original rom and remove some files then repack it as a tar file for flashing through odin.

I can't find the original post so I was hoping someone could help me with the info about what I need to remove from the factory Img...

Thanks

Hi,

You will need to register on XDA and ask about that here perhaps,

If that doesn't help, you will need to ask for help here,

Or try contacting the manufacturer about firmware and flashing instructions.

Good luck!

Good question. I couldn't find any information on this either. One thing I'm going to try tonight is the Antutu Video Tester app. It downloads a video pack of dozens of different codecs and tests playback ability as well as the quality of playback. Should be interesting.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddiehl:
I can say from experience that when running XBMC I've been able to play video_ts folders (DVD rips) and MKV.. The only issue I ran into with video_ts folders was that it took upwards of 10 seconds to start play, and sometimes up to 30-40 seconds to return to the movie list when hitting stop.. MKV play without a hitch and are very snappy.

Hope this helps.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vma:
Hi,

First off: thanks to this forum and it's users! I am now a happy owner of a Blue Angel AND a Universal.

I thought it would be nice to share with you guy's these facts:

1) The Universal costs in Portugal 799 Euro in stores and providers tend to ask 849 Euro for it.

2) You may start to find some discounts. Currently they are sold a http:\\www.fnac.pt for just 649 Euro. Obviously the end of commercialization is arraving for this great phone...

3) The cheapest way to get one is through eBay: I got one for 255 Euro + shipping (280 Euro total).

How to do it and why it's so cheap:

1) In Germany, many Universal's are sold by T-Online, branded as MDA Pro.

2) People seem to get them cheap there with a 1-2 year contract.

3) After 6-12 month they want to get rid of it because it is probably TO BIG for them (being a BA user, I will have to get used to this oversized phone, as well - it is really big and clumsy to handle).

4) Because it is normally SIM-Locked (unlocking it at T-Online costs 99 Euro) and because it is branded, it's value is not so high for normal users (I am a freak, so I would pay it's weight in gold, if I had any gold...).

5) There are lot's of them being sold on http://www.ebay.de.

How to do it:

1) Take your time and start observing current auctions.

2) Make a search for all MDA Pro's on the german eBay.

3) Ask each seller if they would ship to your country and if the phone is really in mint condition.

4) If they don't answer fast, remove them from your list.

5) If they have negative feedback (more than 1%), remove them from your list.

6) If they have strange remarks on positive feedback (i.e. difficult contact), remove them from your list.

7) From the remaining, select the ones that offer phones in mint condition without accessories like SDCards (they are cheaper new and will make noobs lose their heads when bidding).

8) Monitor the remaining ones and bid only in the last minute!!! Keep two pages open: one to monitor current bid, one with your bid ready to go.

9) You should not spend more than 300 Euro - if you monitor auctions of these devices, you will see many being sold for less than 300 Euro.

BEAR IN MIND THAT THERE IS OBVIOUSLY ALWAYS A RISK WHEN PURCHASING STUFF LIKE THIS AT EBAY!

What to do next:

1) Use the great SIM Unlock tool available from Buzz.

2) Flash WM6 in WWE.

3) Patch the registry so that it matches the german keyboard. The german keyboard is perfectly OK, the only annoyance is the swapped "Z" and "Y".

4) If this is not acceptable, you can by an english keyboard at eBay as well. It will cost you some 25 Euro, though. Also, you will need to dismantle the whole phone for this replacement.

It is always better to get a second hand Universal from a friend you trust, but if you live in Portugal or other periferic country, it might not be easy to find someone willing to sell his Universal for such a low price.

Hope this helps someone.

Cheers,

vma

For those who can't understand german, here is a nice link for you:

http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/trurl_pagecontent?lp=de_en&trurl=http://www.ebay.de/

Thanks go to Babelfish, Altavista and of course to Douglas Adams.

Regarding eBay-Tools: I have tried them, but are not very fond of them:

1) Most cost money.

2) You need to give an (unknown) software your eBay-passwords

3) I don't feel confortable having a software bidding for me

The thing is: if you loose in the last minute, then just wait for the next auction. never buy completly out of impulse. Take your time to find the right product being auctioned. Settle the price you are really wanting to pay at maximum. Bid in the last 1-2 minutes with your maximum price. That has always worked for me.

Cheers,

vma
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] GerardNL:
I did the same thig as vma and recently got a UNI next to a BA. eBay is a good place to shop for these phones. But instead to look just for MDA Pro, it's also good to look for the other aliases of the UNI. Like the SPV M5000. Less people will know that this is the same phone and the price is likely (hopefully) a bit less then for a MDA Pro. (at least that worked for me when I bough my BA).

The german keyboard layout is quite annoying to me. So I would like to opt for the english keyboard, but haven't been able to find it on ebay yet. You have any links to it?? The problem for me is not with the Z and they Y, but with the special character, eg those above the numbers. So, I rather keep the keyboard layout in english, just like the keyboard of my PC. But the 25 euro would be well worth it.

While replacing the keyboard, it's probably also a good oportunity to fix the little plastic thingie that is preventing the pen from falling out. At least that was a small operation I have done on several BAs in the past and plan to do this soon on my UNI as well, since the pen keeps dropping out.

Talking about pens: On ebay, you'll also be able to find a few shops that sell pens for the UNI. One of the shops in Hong Kong sells you a set of 3 for less than 7 euros including shipping. (just search for "Qtek 9000 stylus" and you'll find several shops)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vma:
Look here for example: item # 300098533646

This seems to be a black one, but I have seen many silver ones as well. Beware that they come from Hong Kong!

I don't know how much customs charge for something like this.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lvyelion:
not a reallygood idea since the German keyboard is in QWERTZ!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vma:
Read what I wrote! I mentioned that fact.

Also, you can configure WWE through a registry hack to this keymap, so the only annoyance is that the Z and Y key's are swapped. But they will correspond to the labels on the keyboard.

Also, you can purchase a keyboard at eBay and replace the german one.

I'm not catching any bugs yet! Lightening fast.

Huge thanks to [MENTION=2961094]aidfarh[/MENTION] for getting this off the ground!!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] aidfarh:
Actually CM12 uses its own Privacy Guard to manage root, so you don't really need SuperSu or any other superuser app.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sleekmason:
I stand corrected! Seems like I had an issue with root... I will adjust my post.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] galaxys:
Awesome! Thanks for the beta and I'll try it hopefully this weekend, then report back...
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] bxsteve31:
Install failed. You think it can just be a bad file and I should download it again?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jk8260:
Check the MD5 after downloading to insure the file is as expected.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] bxsteve31:
Funny I've been rooting for a while and I have no idea what an md5 is or how to check lol.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jk8260:
I have this CM12 installed and running on my v510 right now and it is unbelievable. The thrill of seeing the cyanogen boot ani on my v510 was beyond words. Will report any issues but it looks great so far. I did a dirty flash (only wiped system, dalvik cache and cache) over the stock lollipop and Sleekai4.7 with no problems. Will likely clean full wipe install later today but just wanted to play, thank you so much for breathing new life into this great device.

Thank you sir, will be sending you some $$$ today you deserve it.

Fantastic work !!! :D
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] aidfarh:
You're using an outdated version of TWRP. Use the TWRP from here:

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g-pad-83/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-8-2-0-t2964767
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jk8260:
Simply put, it is a way to insure that what you downloaded is what was put on the download site by the creator. There are many windows and android free versions of the MD5 checksum utility. Once you download something you open it in the MD5 checker and it will generate and MD5 hash (among others) you then compare it to the one on the download page. If it does not match it is not the same file as placed there. Either a bad download or worse case scenario a virus or other malware was injected into the download.

---------- Post added at 11:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 AM ----------

As I look closer at your screen shot you have an old version of TWRP follow the recommened link for the latest version in the OP and you should be fine. You can easliy update it with flashify.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] bxsteve31:
Thanks everyone. Twrp was the problem.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jk8260:
Looking good

OK, I have been playing now for a bit and I can say this build looks pretty solid. I could not gain root access for any apps until I flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip in TWRP since then all has been well. I can write access to system folders and SD media card fine with FX File Explorer. All root apps ie.. better battery stats , Titanium bu, stick mount and Trickster mod and busy box all look fine. And still only on a dirty flash from stock lollidog. As expected no GPS which is no biggie for me had it turned off anyway, rarely leaves my house. And maybe I am drunk with enthusiasm but the display looks crystal clear and brighter than ever before (whiter whites !!!).

Fantastic !!!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sleekmason:
The option for root is in the developer settings (tap on build number 10 times or so). But hell, supersu works well too!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jk8260:
Thanks had dev options on (need advanced reboot menu) but never saw that switch, supersu is working great with that off for now but will try that built in one next time I flash after a system wipe.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] aidfarh:

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jk8260:
No problem here downloading with chrome beta....
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] aidfarh:
[MENTION=5623558]sleekmason[/MENTION], can you try running "restorecon -v -R /data/media" as root and see if it fixes the problem?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sleekmason:
Ouch, I'm back in KitKat to mess with stock kernel builds. Next time I switch I will check and let you know, unless somebody else does first. Tonight or tomorrow.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] andrew942:
No luck on this yet. I tried a full wipe (no os) and install. I tried using appmgr iii as well to see if it was just CM12.1 not moving the install, and tried terminal on tablet and "pm set-install-location 2" to try direct install to sd.

Anybody else on here have any ideas? Maybe the patch had some specific v500 tuning that wasn't right for the v510?

Thanks for all the work!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] bxsteve31:
Any chance we get marshmallow??
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] techinv:
Finally had a chance to try this build and it is working a bit better for me.

The outstanding issue is with SELinuxModeChanger. It cannot get root privilege with the in-built root access with CM; it can get root via SuperSU.

That being said, I don't really use SELinuxModeChanger for anything these days. I had nstalled it early on when I thought that I was going to install Viper4Android. But I came to the opinion that it wasn't worth the effort since I don't listen to music very often on the tablet.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Deltadroid:
That permission change should fix the problem with installing apps and games that default to installing onto the sdcard. Without those changes to the permissions, most games would fail to install from Amazon app store and Google play because they are trying to install to the sdcard by default.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] aidfarh:
I've uploaded a new build, dated 20151017. Move to SD Card works fine now.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sam10000:
Just installed this on my V510. Very fast. Thanks, aidfarh!

I'm only a little more advanced than a complete newbie. May I ask how to obtain root on this build? Thanks.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] aidfarh:
Go to Developer options and enable Root access. CM has it's own superuser management app, but I suggest you install SuperSU and use that.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] sam10000:
Many thanks!

Now successfully rooted and managing with SuperSu.

However, there is now a somewhat odd issue. When the V510 is turned off and charged, it turns itself on again.

In the past, this was apparently a "Lift to wake" in "Display & lights" issue.

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-0-lg-g2-t2944269/page413

Now, in your ROM, there is no "Lift to wake". I tried having "Wake on plug" on or off, but the problem stays.

Any suggestions would be most welcome!

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] aidfarh:
Unfortunately my G Pad's dead, so I can't promise any more builds. Maybe if really I feel like it, I might make one final build, but it would be a blind build, since I would not be able to test it myself.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jbmatson:
I'd be willing to test a blind build too. I still have hopes that we'll one day see CM13 running on the V510. Maybe you can wait till the v500 guys have all their bugs ironed out, then do a build for us with the v510 specific changes.

There's still plenty of life in our G Pad 8.3s. I don't feel any need to upgrade as long as we don't get left too far behind on OS updates.
