ADB push can work: http://androidforums.com/threads/how-to-adb-push-a-rom-to-the-sdcard.602128/

But, I would invest in $15 microUSB/USB duo 32gb card from Newegg or a $1 USB OTG cable that let you use any USB flash drive (on Ebay)
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
There's the sideload method. Haven't tried it myself. Did you try flashing the 27A ROM again and 27A bootstack? It should boot. Or did you not have the 27A rom on your internal memory?
[Verizon LG G2] garciajo:
I was able to load the 26A boostack from my computer into a folder, flash and back to the system, I already ordered the cable,,many thanks to alll of you, especially Huey and MicroMod,

Just in case....

I am running stock debloated Verizon 24A. After I flash the bootstack and ROM, am I able to restore my 24 backup in the event of ROM misbehavior or do I have to downgrade the radios, reflash stock image, etc?
[Verizon LG G2] jesssiii:
Deleted because I was wrong ?
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
No, u need to revert to a 24a bootstack to boot on 24a or get your boot.img bumped to boot on 27a.

Used xxdabebbs 24a bootstack if u want to restore to 24a to make it easy.

I only had the 27Abootstack (running the 26A, I though it was all I needed). Was able to load and flash the 26A bootstack once I disabled and enabled MTP a couple of times on TWRP,

thanks for your help

[Verizon LG G2] MidnightHarvester:
You can order or buy a 14GB PNY USB OTG for around $14. Then create a recovery drive of sorts with it. Download all the radios and store them in a /radios directory. Same with all the bootstacks. Create a /roms directory for your favorite goto restore ROM (I use XDABBEB atm). Add everything else you might need like adding back the Download laf partition if needed etc.

When using an USB OTG you don't need any cables. One side is a standard USB 2.0 connector for plugging into a PC and the other side is a micro USB connector for plugging into the phone. Simple as that. Oh and if you flash the latest TWRP then you can also mount the phone using MTP without the need for having drivers installed in the event you don't have access to a PC with admin access but as long as you have all your pertinent data files on your USB OTG you shouldn't have any issues.

I even keep an updated busybox there. Sure there's one in /sbin usually even after the device is wiped but trying to run those commands on a wiped device is a pain unless you install busybox into say /bin on each boot. It's rarely needed but a godsend for the rare times I need to manually install a ROM and set permissions etc.

So flash the 27A radio and see if it works on the ROM of your choice. No boot? No problem. Slap your USB OTG back in and flash 26A or whatever is needed. One other note...

Once you get your ROM running fine and you have your USB OTG, make a TWRP backup but move the backup onto the USB OTG drive. Can't stress how many times I've wiped internal data by accident while coding by recursively deleting directories and forgetting to cd out of the root directory first lol. Makes life a little easier cause then you can just restore from your USB OTG and not reinstall everything again.

You can't flash anything because you're on a bumped recovery.

Go to xdabbeb's stock ROM thread. 2.3 and flash his 26a bootstack.

Then you can flash loki'd ROMs.
[Verizon LG G2] luvtorev:
How do I add the bootstack to my phone now that it won't turn on? Do I go into recovery and mount? Not quite sure how to do this. It would be great if you or anyone in here could help. Thanks again

This is why we all should have USB OTG cable with flash drive for side loading files. Otherwise you must learn to adb pushing files via PC and USB cables. Otherwise ur stuck with KDZ restore to stock 27A and start over
[Verizon LG G2] garciajo:
Thank you MidnightHarvester, I will get one of those PNY USB OTG.
[Verizon LG G2] Masterx9:
Alright my ladies g2 is rooted and running bumped twrp on its 27a. Just to reclarify, I flash the 27a bootstack then flash Rom correct?
[Verizon LG G2] HueyT:
xdabbeb 26a bootstack, 27a rom, 27a modem
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
If you're already on 27a with a bumped twrp, all you should have to do is wipe, then flash the ROM. No need to flash anything else.
[Verizon LG G2] Masterx9:
Alright cool.
[Verizon LG G2] C-4Nati:
Hello all, I have a question as I'm trying to help my mate.

I was instructing him on how to root and flash a custom recovery which he did. Now however, after a few mods he wants to go back to stock. I'm not noob by any means, I know how to flash and everything else, and I found this for him to flash because he wants to go back to stock via clean install. The only reason I'm posting a question is because I'm curious about this bootstack. Is that something that is vital to flash before the rom? It says in here to do so then flash the rom but I just want to double check that it's needed as he's a noob and I'm trying to explain things to the T.

Thanks!
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
Bootstack contains modem. So it may cause issues with his 4g if you flash this with say a 24a or 26a modem.
[Verizon LG G2] C-4Nati:
He's already 27a, so does he need to flash with the bootstack?
[Verizon LG G2] tsjanda:
I did a full wipe and flashed your 27a zip. I was on 26a priviously, i tried to access download mode and was met with fastboot mode. I had to reflash the 26a boot stack to get download mode back. Migjt want to let people know that.

Looking at the zip i see that there is no laf included.

The zip works awesome with the 26a bootstack and 27a modem.
[Verizon LG G2] Lawlrus:
No

Excellent work on this debloated rom! Been running all day and no problems. Nice work [MENTION=2522637]MicroMod777[/MENTION]!
[Verizon LG G2] trestevenson:
I ran into the same issue when trying to flash v2.8.5.0 of TWRP. This ROM still runs flawlessly on my device, but I am now unable to boot into recovery due to a boot verification error. Consequently, I can't create any backups.
[Verizon LG G2] en11gma:
i have the paid for version of titanium backup pro and i really dont use it alot. i mean pro features either.

i do know it can FREEZE apps.

is there anyway you could just make a freeze script so if we are already rooted and dont have a custom recovery we could just run that script and get close to the same affect as the debloat 27a you made but we wouldnt have to install a custom recovery so thats kind of nice

thanks for your work
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
Why don't you want to install a custom recovery?

Why not just use something like root explorer, and rename all the apks you don't want running with a .bak extension? It's basically the same thing as freezing them.
[Verizon LG G2] en11gma:
i flash cust recoveries all the time and freezing the apps above is easier then the already known rename .apk to .bak

i figure the dev of this 27a already experimented using tib to figure out what apps to remove in this rom....am i wrong????

ok now you have your answers can u share the tib freeze script or name all the apks you removed?

thanx again for the work
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
I'm pretty sure he didn't use TiBu to experiment, but I could be wrong.

I don't remove/freeze apks using TiBu, I just completely delete them as they just take up system space. I made a zip that I flash to debloat/remove those apks through a custom recovery. I can post the files you'll be able to safely remove (with current stock, unmodified boot.img). If you had a modified boot.img with security checks removed, you'd be able to remove a lot more bloat as I have done.

Anyway, here's the list: http://www.mediafire.com/download/5891ii659fsp0ww/Bloat.zip
[Verizon LG G2] en11gma:
that is awesome how you sepwrated the secure and not secure

thanks alot and em to 1st post if you could. this will be my main i use now that there is info and boot tools like this. i was using xdabbed 26a bootstack and 26a restore dl mode which comes in handy when coming from aosp roms

thnx again
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
I had to modify the boot.img. If you know/are familiar with adb commands you can easily flash it to your phone without a custom recovery, otherwise install a custom recovery (do not use AutoRec to install a recovery on 27A...use the tool provided in this very thread I belive in the OP, or you can do it manually with adb commands), and flash this to your phone (it will give you the added benefit that under Settings>About phone>Status>Rooting status will show as "Unrooted", instead of showing "Rooted").

Modified boot image (this is meant to be flashed in custom recovery; if you want to adb it to your phone, then simply extract the files in the zip, and adb them to the proper partitions): http://www.mediafire.com/download/xa24h6fln972mz7/Fix_Rooted_Status_LG_G2-VS980-27A_v2.zip

MD5: 29c3c830e3147687db9ba3534fa8b481

After that, you can remove this much more bloat: http://www.mediafire.com/download/qcgynzj1lc0fi4b/Bloat-extra.zip
[Verizon LG G2] en11gma:
that will be nice to use

yep i can use adb. i usually use a custom recovery like many here

i was on stock 27a and i just flash the 27a bootstack after rooted with cust recovery and i then reboot recovery and wipe then install rom

seems to work very well
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
I .kdz'd my way to 27A, and made my own 27A bootstack zip; that's why I have all these files to remove bloat, and add busybox, init.d, etc. because there were no 27A Roms out back when 27A first came out. Now I just have a backup of my setup for when I feel like trying lollipop...I've been coming back to stock LG a lot more lately because it just simply works, while lollipop is very visually appealing, and has nice features, there's just too many issues on the G2 that bother me right now.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
Where you able to make a 27a system.img restore also? I couldn't get the full stock 27a system.img to be under 2.2gb's flashable to make a full 27a system restore without having to use a kdz method.
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
I tried, I got it to 2.08GB, but it still failed at flashing...I'm assuming it can't be bigger than 2GB.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
The zip was 2.08?
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
Yeah, the zip was/is.
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
Try zeroing out the free space in the image before compressing. May help depending on how you got it.
[Verizon LG G2] MicroMod777:
I extracted it from kdz. But how we zero out the free space?
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
Use a HEX editor.

I tired it, but it didn't seem to work for me. Maybe flashing the .kdz, and extracting the system image from the phone will work. If I get some time later on I will try that.
[Verizon LG G2] xdabbeb:
If you got it from the kdz (vs your phone), it may not make a difference. Haven't looked to see if there's junk bytes there. Would depend on how they populate the image/partition.

No, you shouldn't use a hex editor. Use zerofree or the like. It's still just an ext4 image.
[Verizon LG G2] bouchigo:
The system.img from my phone was smaller, by about 300MB (3.25 GB vs 3.56GB), but you're right, I still couldn't get it smaller than 2.08 GB.

I'm using teh latest version of Mokee (4.4.4) on my LG P880, the rear camera works well, but when I switch to front camera I get an error saying "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped." I tried cleaning the camera app's cache and I also tried using another camera app that I downloaded from Google Play but they're both not working. Is there any way to fix this bug? Thanks! :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] tuncay_93:
Go to the development page of your custom rom and check if only your front camera doesnt work. If it is reported as issue etc.

Then you can try to clean install the rom wipe everything needed and clean istall rom and gapps.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Underground597:
had 2 same thing with 2 P880's maybe it's just a problem of this phone had it with stock rom.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Jere4x:
Ok, thanks, I'll probably reinstall the rom some day since I can't find it as an issue of Mokee.

Hmm..I think it worked well with the stock rom. :confused:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] tuncay_93:
Hmm..I think it worked well with the stock rom. :confused:[/QUOTE]

You can also try to clear cache/data of the camera app in the settings. If the front camera was working earlier with this rom.

EDIT: You can also check for ROM updates and update it if any updates availible.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scotcruz:
Hi folks,

I have just bought a new UK HTC One M8 on Vodafone after having problems with my Canadian HTC One which didn't have the compatible LTE frequency for UK.

Anyhow.. I understand to debrand I need to S-OFF first, change CID to HTC__001 and then flash a stock firmware.

Just need some help with the following:

Do I need to do something to the MID? (if so, what should it be for stock UK unlocked/unbranded version?)

Can the debrand be done without rooting the device as Firewater requires the phone to be rooted (if no, is it a temp root? so I can use the bank apps etc)

Is there a method to S-OFF without root?

What's the best firmware to flash so I can get the future OTA?

Thanks in advance.

Regards
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
1) Shouldn't have to change MID. The MID should be 0P6B1000 which I think the Vodafone UK phone already is, seeing as it's European.

2) You'll probably need root to get Sunshine S-OFF to work***

3) Firewater method doesn't work anymore period. You'll have to use Sunshine it's $25 but it'll get the job done(Hopefully your device is supported then, as Sunshine doesn't work for some devices) and it's the only way to get S-OFF. I think there is a temp root available for it... check at thread. SunShine for modern Motorola & HTC devices

4) Of course the WWE International Firmware x.xx.401.x. As long as you run with the 401, any Asian WWE or 1540(Developer Edition, needs change of MID) you'll stay up to date directly through HTC.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scotcruz:
Cheers mate, this is very useful.

I will read up on Sunshine and go from there.. My banks app wont work on a rooted phone therefore I wasn't keen to root the phone.

I have downloaded 1.54.401.5-Firmware (Thanks to SoLdieR9312) is it the right one? thinking if I flash this rom and the OTA brings it up to date.

How about the messages on HBOOT, will it say tampered. I understand there are fixes here but want to make sure whether root is required again to check apply the fix.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Yeah you'll need root access to reset the flags, it gets done through the shell and will need root privileges.

[how to] lock/unlock your bootloader without htcdev(s-off required) To make the bootloader show "Locked" instead of "Relocked" if you lock it again. Needs root.

[how to] remove your "tampered" banner Will make Software status "Official" and not "Modified". Needs root.

Yeah you can use any 401 firmware you like. Going to an earlier version is a nice way to test if the OTAs are working like it should.

Banking app ... Probably flippin' Barclays again :rolleyes:

Fantastic mate.. really appreciate your help..

will keep posted..

Well I got 2 question and 1 favour. :) You may probably know the answer to the questions. I am planning on defecting from Orange but wanted to know if:

1)T-Mobile has stated any intentions as regard to WM6 on their devices.

2)Does the HSDPA come on the WnW or do you have to have WnW + or the MAx
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] marisa4755:
I emailed T-Mob Uk about the WM6 issue last week:

Mobile USA is going to announce on Monday that it will be offering it's users of Windows mobile 5 devices a downloadable upgrade to Windows Mobile 6. Can you tell me if this will be available also in the UK?

This is the link to the story:

http://www.infoworld.com/article/07/02/12/HNmstoutswinmobile6_1.html

thank you

and this is the reply I received:

Thank you for your email about upgrading to windows mobile 6.

At present we do not have any WM6 devices for sale yet and have no support for it as an operating system. As such no decision has yet been made on wether or not we will be offering upgrades to this for our current WM5 devices.

T-Mobile USA is a separate company to T-Mobile UK so even if they do announce upgrades for their devices it doesn't not automatically mean that we will as well I'm afraid. For the moment all you can do is wait. Once we do launch any WM6 devices I will be able to give you a definite answer on upgrading.

I'm sorry I could not give you a clearer answer at this time. If you have any further queries please don't hesitate to contact us again.

Kind regards
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] randomelements:
As above, there has been no announcement about WM6 yet (and not even one about AKU3!). No word about WM6 you can understand but not even a commitment to an AKU is a bit silly.

I spoke to them a while ago and was told that if they consider it offers sufficient functionality improvements they might offer it - otherwise they wouldn't release it.

I also spoke to someone at T-Mob the other day about HSDPA. I'm on the £7.50 a month deal (although I still get 2GB a month rather than 1GB as I signed up before they changed the WnW plans ;)) and was told that standard WnW has a top rated speed of 1.8 megabits per sec which is HSDPA speeds. I have been able to get 1.2 tops when doing a speed test so it looks like it is enabled by default as I've never had to ring them and say "Oi, add it!"
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chrisjasper:
I am also on W+W standard and my WM6 seems to connect to HSDPA when required without any phone call to T-Mob required.

Having said that, when I did try to call a couple of months back to get it turned on I had difficulty finding anyone who knew what the hell I was talking about, so as far as I am aware it hasnt been specially enabled on my phone/account.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chaps:
Im on the standard web n walk and get hsdpa speeds. However, a friend recently got a vario ii on a standard web n walk and was told by t-mobile that he would need to either upgrade to wnw plus or increase the contract term from 12 months to 18 months before they enabled it for him.

Confusingly, it would seem he has got it enabled anyway as he can download at aver 1mbit.

Best to give them a ring I think.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Lordsmiff:
That's exactly what happened to me - was told that the standard WnW package didn't include HSDPA so I emailed the CS and complained.

I now have it on.

However, it *is* technically possible, that I hadn't enabled it on the ROM.

But I'm not going to make that public or people will think I'm a n00b ;-)

----Edit----

Doh!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dle1232003:
the MDA vario is capped at 1.8mb/s and the highest speeds i have reached is 1.2mb/s. i read one some reviews that HSDPA is enabled on the phone, therefore you get them speeds reguardless on which tariff you are on. Whe i got my phone on contract they told me i would get the HSDPA speeds on this phone and i wouldnt cost a thing extra. :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Wam7:
Well I've all but defected over to T-mobile to enjoy the wonderful bounties of un metered data via WnW. I did see the 'H' replace the 3G icon a few times but when I did a speed test via dslreports I normally got around 380kb/s which I thought must be 3G speeds. (I did enable it on the phone via HTweakC)

When I did call T-mobile they told me it was not enabled on my account and I would have to upgrade to the Web n Walk plus to get it on. Hmm.

edit: On doing a few more tests using the 600k file test I am getting ~600 kbit/sec which is definitely not 3G speeds so I must assume that I am indeed getting HSDPA without it being enable on my account. I'm not complaining.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] m15chief:
I've been on the basic WnW since last december, and i've been able to get HSDPA speeds up to 1.2mb

What i can tell you from experience working for both T-Mob and Orange in the past is that the mast you connect to only has a finite number of timeslots, each timeslot will allow for a certain amount of bandwidth.

If you are in an area where lots of people are connecting you will get a much poorer bandwidth than on a mast which is quiet, so although you get the HSDPA icon, its not always possible to achieve 1.2mb throughput.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Impossible:
Tmobile changed there web and walk plans around dec 06,

Originaly you could "request" hpsda on there standard W'n'W package by asking for 325k upload to be enabled.

Since the W'n'W package changes they are only ment to give you hpsda speeds on all but the cheapest option.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Wam7:
Well I can definitely confirm that I have HSDPA on my standard WnW package. In my area the most I get is ~800 kbps. I am not sure why this is as according to everybody I have spoken to it is not enabled on my account. I'll put it down to the power of the phone. ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] agentp:
fwiw, i am meant to be on w'n'w+ as of last saturday (though it doesn't show on my account and the guy had no idea what it was or how to do it)

and i'm getting 800kbps according to dslreports test.

i'm not sure how they enforce the differences, if anyone could be so kind as to inform me - though i presume it's throttling or somesuch as the differences between plus and max is using voip and instant messaging

edit: though last night i installed the 1.4 radio rom and now get 1.2mbps all the time
