You're the best sir!

First of all sorry for bumping this thread. It is just that I can't contain myself. I was locked of my phone, I have a Galaxy Grand running Lollipop. Last night I set a pattern, I did not like the first one so I changed it but when I rebooted it won't accept any of the 2 patterns I've set. I was losing hope and was about to face the dreadful factory reset button but then I found this and placed the file via a Guest account then flashed it in recovery. All of a sudden BOOOOOOM I rebooted and the pattern was gone. All thanks to you good sir! I hope I could smash the thanks button more than once. :victory:

Hey guys I've been familiar with backtrack (now Kali) for some time and was really curious if some kind soul on xda could help me figure out (a)why bcmon is failing to enable monitor mode and (b)what I can do to correct the problem and get it running. I'm pretty sure our phones are equipped with the bcm4330 chipset required -if I'm wrong please tell me- but something at the driver level is hanging up the process I think.. I'd love to see this work.. Anyone with any ideas or possibly info on how to compile a custom WiFi driver package for our phone to add support I'd love to hear what you have to say. And before anyone says anything about trying to steal someone's WiFi please understand this is purely for fun I have and pay for my own internet lol..

Oh and I'm currently running PAC kitkat most recent nightly build if that helps.

Hey friendzz, this guide is for all the people who want to know most of

the things on tweaking their phone without doing much research on internet

I am putting up this guide because I was cheated buy someone while I tried to sell it on eBay and I have covered almost all the things which you can do in sgs2

1.rooting

2.custom ROMs (thanks to developers bcs they gave me lollipop on sgs2 before official on moto x2)

3.Overclocking

4.unbricking

1,ROOTING- We all know about rooting very well , in some phones it will be very easy like my ex, sgs2 ,or very difficult like my new moto series(g2 and x) .you can root galaxy s2 in two methods

A) using odin- just flash jaboos kernel or philz kernel using Odin 1.85 and you will be having you will be having a custom recovery+custom kernel+ you will be rooted

B) thanks to Samsung guys bcs they have preinstalled a recovery which does a good function like we can flash some zips (unless Sony which doesn't has a usable recovery itself)

OK in short just download SUPER-SU.zip and reboot your phone to recovery pressing volume down +home +power simultaneously .after rebooting armrest m select apply update from SD card > choose zip from SD card and select SuperSU zip and flash and reboot your phone will be rooted

Custom recovery

A) Odin- for Odin I have already mentioned the method in rooting section under Odin, when you root using that method you will be already having a custom recovery

B) recovery- find a compatible recovery and place it in your SD card>reboot to recovery>flash it like the rooting file

Custom ROM- this is the easiest part which is made difficult by many by the way they say, after flashing custom recovery you have to just download a custom ROM file and place it in SD card and reboot to recovery>select zip and flash it, hurray you are on a custom run now

This guide is just the skeleton of my guide and I have not put any links for the things because I am having exams tomorrow and I will be upgrading this guide every day

Please hit thanks for my dedication because even though I was exam I wrote this guide and if you encourage me here I will write guides on other phones also
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] therookie19:
I have a Rogers i337m that was running gpe lollipop with nc1 modem, crashed while listening to a podcast and infinite bootlooped so i downloaded the original rogers tar and flashed it in odin. Upon reboot the samsung logo flashes then the screen goes blank and the led starts flashing blue. I've tried flashing a modem from the original mdj in odin as it still can enter download mode fine but it fails out everytime and I'm at a loss for what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
The only thing I can suggest is to flash the tar again using different cable and port. But I think you have a hardware issue.

Hi all,

Today, I proudly present GomdoLight KitKat for KOREAN LG G / G2 / G3 / G3A / G3cat6 / Gflex / GK / Gpro / Gpro2 / LTE3 / Vu2 / Vu3 / Gpad7LTE, one of the most widely used (with 20,000+ users approximately) stock-based custom firmware in South Korea.

GomdoLight is more than 3 year old already (first version released on 19th December 2012), and is very mature.

Technically speaking GomdoLight is NOT a complete ROM, but rather a large-scale patch, which modifies official stock firmware to remove all the unnecessary components preloaded by operator/manufacturer, and reorganizes key system parts to 'basic' Android OS with manufacturer's flavor. For some devices GomdoLight's own specialized tool 'GomdoLight Sideloader' can make it possible to install GomdoLight directly over the stock firmware, even without rooting or flashing custom recovery!

GomdoLight is compatible with the following devices (BOLD indicates GomdoLight Sideloader support - no root required)

LG Optimus G: LG-F180S, LG-F180K, LG-F180L ("G")

LG G2: LG-F320S, LG-F320K, LG-F320L ("G2")

LG G3: LG-F400S, LG-F400K, LG-F400L ("G3")

LG G3A: LG-F410S ("G3A")

LG G3 Cat.6: LG-F460S, LG-F460K, LG-F460L ("G3")

LG G Flex: LG-F340S, LG-F340K, LG-F340L ("Gflex")

LG GK: LG-F220K ("GK")

LG G Pro: LG-F240S, LG-F240K, LG-F240L ("Gpro")

LG G Pro 2: LG-F350S, LG-F350K, LG-F350L ("Gpro2")

LG Gx: LG-F310L, LG-F310LR ("Gx")

LG Optimus LTE3: LG-F260S ("LTE3")

LG Optimus Vu2: LG-F200S, LG-F200K, LG-F200L ("Vu2")

LG Vu 3: LG-F300S, LG-F300K, LG-F300L ("Vu3")

LG G Pad 7.0 LTE: LG-V410 ("Gpad7LTE")

A very thorough and extensive (probably, the most extensive on entire xda) manual is provided at the download page, which contains literally everything you need to know to install GomdoLight. FAILURE TO READ THIS DOCUMENT BEFORE INSTALLING WILL ALWAYS LEAD TO VARIOUS UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. Needless to say, I WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ALREADY ADDRESSED IN THIS DOCUMENT.

Due to xda forum's limits (in functionality) I am posting a link to the separate (external) DOWNLOAD PAGE. There is no way I can link to each section in the document in xda posts, since xda does not support HTML tag. However some portions of the document are also introduced here.

Wow

This looks really good just today I was thinking I really don't like lollipop and much prefer kk, this really looks too good to be true I cannot wait to try this, I only wish my D838 running 10f firmware was supported please if anyone trys on the same version as me let me know I don't have a recovery installed at this moment in time I didn't believe we can make a full nandroid backup and full restore on this phone please correct me if I'm wrong.

But thanks for sharing this looks brilliant!
[LG G Pro 2] juniecho:
if you can run this zip (via gomdolight sideloader tool) you can make a backup image of system partition (gomdolight installer supports that by GUI), instead of nandroid.

the main menu will have 'system image backup/restore'. it will use dd command in the background to take a raw image of each system partition, but NOT the data partition.
[LG G Pro 2] mackinz:
Tried on f350 L very good system enhancement. Hope this will release on lollipop. Thank you for sharing.
[LG G Pro 2] bjscott55:
Thanks for reply, yes I've made a system backup with adb in case anything did happen but same story cannot backup data partition which really i do want backing up before trying anything its not the biggest loss in the world but you know what its like constantly starting from scratch spending alot of time getting things back how they were, ill leave it a fue days and see if anyone trys on D838 if not ill just have to try myself

Thanks though juniecho! Ill try sideloader sometime this week.
[LG G Pro 2] juniecho:
you could use the stock LG BACKUP to back up apps and settings. that thing is almost as powerful as titanium. :)
[LG G Pro 2] bjscott55:
You know what I've never even blinked a eye lid at that app ill give it ago now! Thanks for the info!!
[LG G Pro 2] juniecho:
right now lollipop is not supported because:

1) current lollipop firmware has a LOT of bugs including random reboots. LGE completely failed in quality control.

2) LGE is very developer-unfriendly. lollipop's selinux enforced there is practically no way for novice users to root after updating. and they have no plan to officially unlock bootloader.

when LGE changes their hostile attitude towards developers, and improve their firmware quality, i will surely reconsider lollipop support.

p.s. and, also note that the overall user experience is WAY BETTER with kitkat (as for now) :)
[LG G Pro 2] mackinz:
Yes I experince random reboot in lollipop. I see it's really hard to bring this to lollipop. But I happy using this now. Many thanks!
[LG G Pro 2] seefunium:
A great effort

Hi there.

First of all, I must appreciate your effort in developing Gomdolight. The effort you have put in to make us understand the installation process through flow charts, paragraphs, external links is indeed commendable. Bravo Zulu.

I have literally read each and every word of your user/installation manual and linked pages as well, strictly following your instructions. I have successfully installed Gomdolight in my F350L (G Pro 2). It is working very fine and I have no issues with it. As you also described, it very much responds to the user requirements and inputs and requests. Which is indeed a plus point.

Previously I was using Vietnamese ROMs on my LG Gx (F310L) and on this phone as well but it was not that impressive. One simply looses the strength and interface of stock ROM which in my opinion is of extreme importance. The reason I installed those ROMs was simple ... I do not live in Korea and using a Korean version in some other country. So I wanted to get rid of Korean pre-installed apps, wanted to have SIM tools in my app drawer, wanted to get rid of 'Call to Korea/Call to Local' dialogue each time I make call, wanted to have lengthy sms app, wanted to dial my network operator USSD codes as desired e.g *1111# (previously it was making it a voice call). All these 'desires' were very much fulfilled by those custom ROMs but at the same time I used to loose stock ROM interface and certain of its capabilities.

By using Gomdolight, I have the interface and power of stock ROM, I have got rid of pre-installed Korean apps which is very good infact and it makes me very happy and satisfied every time I look at my device.

Although I could not get rid of 'Call to Korea/Call to Local' dialogue and could not check my bill status by dialing *1111#. No problem , I can live with it.

Not sure of other problems but there is a way to get rid of 'Call to Korea/Call to Local' dialogue. A lot of man hours would be required for this job but it will eventually work. Just save all your numbers with + sign and country code. e.g. If you are in Pakistan then save all numbers in phone book like +92 XXX 1234567.

The problem of USSD code is inevitable. Not having SIM tools in app drawer is not a big issue - thats not so important.

Regards
[LG G Pro 2] seefunium:
Changelog request

I have already appreciated the quality work you have done by developing this excellent system enhancement patch.

Now I would request to to consider making an upgrade for non-Korea residents.

As for now, the device doesn't recognize that it is in some other country thats why it takes every call made from it as a roaming call and therefore asks "Call to Korea / Call to Local". I will try to upload some screen shots if I have the permission as my status is very preliminary.

Secondly, the device doesn't accept USSD codes of my network and doesn't call its helpline as well (e.g. 111, *1111# etc). This is probably because these are not used in Korea. If you can suggest a fix for this as well then it will be highly appreciated.

Regards.

[LG G Pro 2] juniecho:
i heard that the 'call to korea' issue is notorious for korean phones, could you check this out?

i think he refers to the custom long distance call prefix. maybe you could pick other country code as well?

as for the USSD issue, right now i have no clue, but i will keep digging on it.

Tons of bugfixes.
[LG G Pro 2] pato2015:
Please support d838 v10f ty
[LG G Pro 2] mydoom:
is that mean i have to full wipe then fresh install for upgrage?
[LG G Pro 2] juniecho:
if you're refering to 'factory reset', for G Pro 2, you have to flash stock firmware first, by flashing a KDZ file with CSE flash option. this will automatically force a factory reset. (you have to back up everything before doing this)

after the flash, you will get a literally 'stock' firmware. get ota first.

then, 1) root, 2) install recovery, then 3) reboot into recovery, 4) perform a factory reset (NOT full wipe), and finally 5) install gomdolight.

if manually wiping everything (including the system partition) is what you've meant, don't do it. gomdolight will NEVER boot properly if you do this.

i will backup frsit and tot > ota > root > install recovery > factory reset in system > fresh install .
