[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxMusaab:
Greetings.

I've searched around for how to root LG G3, but almost all seem to be rooting from a kitkat OS...

I got mine 3 weeks ago and i immediately updated to lollipop before doing anything. Can someone give me a step-by-step guide on how to root and rom my LG G3 D855 (3gb Ram) from start to finish? I have simple technological know-how i guess, lol

I'm planning on getting Resurrection Remix rom because it seems to have the most features, combining the best of several other roms. Interestingly, in their site, LG G3 isnt listed under devices, but it is in their downloads section... Any particular reason?

Also, any other recommendations for LG G3 roms? I'm looking for a stable(obviously lol) lollipop-based rom with as much features as possible but i especially want a perfectly working Active Display feature and less importantly, the circular battery. I believe most of the other features i want are availabe via G3 Tweaks Box, right? Also, may i know if im going to have to sacrifice the LG G3 special features such as Knock Code, Split Window, Q Slide, Gesture Selife? It would be a real bummer..

LG G3 Model D855 Build LRX21R.A1421650137 Software V20h-TWN-XXX

Thanks in advance

If you are running HDMI it should be fine I would say.

You will be fine. Fire TV have universal 110-240V power supply and HDMI standard is universal also. I'm and my friends using US-sourced Fire TVs in Russia without any issues.

But that doesn't mean that you can access all officially available content like netflix outside of US.

Nope, there are no problems using US amazon account world-wide. If you buy box directly from US amazon it will be automatically paired to buyer US account during initial startup. But you can re-pair it to any amazon account later if you wish.

The R7000 has the VPN client built into the system already so I don't have to mess with DD-WRT/Tomato. :)

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
This message is for any user/dev/RC who has updated firmware on their phone to 5.0.1 or intends to support such devices.

Be VERY careful here. The older TWRP 2.8.3 and down used hard coded blk numbers for flashing and mounting. IF you are using an older version of TWRP please upgrade immediately. The blks for system/cache/data have ALL changed. IF you aren't on the latest TWRP you risk flashing the wrong thing to the wrong partition on your phone! CWM has used blk names for a while now so this really only affects users who have not updated TWRP.

This ALSO affects any user/dev who uses updater scripts that hard code blk numbers. The correct way to do it these days is to use blk names instead as they CAN change during an OTA... this VZW being proof.

TWRP versions older than 2.8.3 were hard coded to flash according to this..

mmcblk0p46: a8000000 00000200 "system"

mmcblk0p47: 40000000 00000200 "cache"

mmcblk0p48: 30000000 00000200 "userdata"

After updating firmware you now have this..

mmcblk0p47: a8000000 00000200 "system"

mmcblk0p48: 40000000 00000200 "cache"

mmcblk0p49: 30000000 00000200 "userdata"

So if you try to mount any of these partitions in TWRP you won't get what you want mounted. If you try to flash something.. lets say system.... which was blk46....

you will flash those files to this...

mmcblk0p46: 05800000 00000200 "reserve_3"

which i don't believe you will want to do.

figured it out, used fastboot to load latest twrp and then flashed latest chainfire su

has anyone tried installed xposed on this yet?

Ok, wow, glad I saw this, I have an M8, I will be upgrading immediately.

Question: I've been running TWRP on my M8 for a while, flashing things, etc. I've been on 5.0.1 while doing it. So far, no issues. I'm not in any way trying to dispute what's being posted in this thread, just trying to understand better what the issue is, just in case there are problems I've caused without noticing it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
While you may have been on lollipop ROMS.. . you weren't on the full lollipop firmware. The included hboot which arrived with the official lollipop firmware is responsible for the partition changes. They basically added one to the list called VZW_logger which comes before ./system /cache /data thus moving them all up one in blk number.

Firmware is responsible (namely hboot) for partition layout on your EMMC.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tallywacker:
Does this also means that anyone who took the 5.0.1 ota or got a replacement phone with the 5.0.1 ota cannot flash a kit Kat Rom ? Does the Rom have to be (built) for the 5.0.1 hboot and or firmware or can anyone on lollipop flash any Rom on 5.0.1 update as long as they are rooted unlocked and s-offed ?

I'm having trouble flashing any kit Kat Rom and I'm trying to figure out if that is the reason. Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
If the kit Kat rom has an older updater script it will fail due to that.

You're awesome man thx!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AlbusAngelus:
My issue is as follows:

I am not correctly receiving push notifications at work while I am on their wifi. I came to the conclusion they must have ports blocked to prevent this from happening. As a solution (without losing the perk of unlimited fast wifi while working :victory:) I thought I might route my data from certain apps through mobile while keeping most running through work's wifi. I'm using AWall+ to try and filter which apps use mobile data and which apps use wifi. I'm having issues trying to figure out exactly which apps to keep on mobile data so I can receive push notifications correctly. The main one I need to work correctly is Google Hangouts as I exclusively use it for texting. I've tried keeping the following apps on mobile data only and have not been successful yet, even with these apps routed through mobile data I still do not receive notifications until I disable WIFI all my notifications come through.

Google Backup Transport

Google Services Framework

Goggle Contacts Sync

Google Account Manager

Google Play Services

Hangouts

Which other apps/apk might be required to allow hangouts to be ran exclusively through mobile data?

or

Which other apps/apk are used in receiving push notifications, particularly GCM? (Google Cloud Messaging)

I'm on a T-Mobile Note 3 running Hyperdrive 7.1 with Leankernel.

Thank you in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] trim81:
Setup a VPN on your home router.

Connect to VPN from your work wifi, on your Android.

No need to use mobile data
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ArchangelRenzoku:
Exchange Services is required for Messages and any Email apps you might use. It might be the same for Hangouts. I'd give it a try.

While you're strictly on mobile data or your home wifi, I'd try disabling one service at a time (that seems related) and send some Hangouts messages to see which service you stopped prevents Hangouts from maintaining connectivity. It's a process but I'm sure one of them will do it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AlbusAngelus:
I may try to do this. This would require leving a computer on at home (as I have the crappiest router/ wifi hotspot known to man... ISP provided), I work overnight and the house is dark while I'm at work :)

I'll give that a shot and see if that will do the trick. I didn't even think of exchange services..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AlbusAngelus:
Still pushless.... :(

Well come to find out.. the firewall app I was using was strictly to filter which apps CAN use Wi-Fi or LTE at any given time, not use them in tandem. As far as a VPN is concerned the Wi-Fi here at work is completely locked down.. DPI possibly but I can't get a VPN to run at all through whatever firewall/security they have set up. I work with Medical Documents.. I imagine their security is pretty tight....so I'm still having my same problem of no push on their Wi-Fi.

I'm still really at a loss for ways to do this, and I still can't seem to find much of anything about running tandem data connections, and routing traffic the traffic appropriately any other suggestions?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] kokorolove:
Hi, everyone, I just got my z3 tablet and I am in love with it except i don't like the interface. So i decide to root my tablet without unlocking the bolted and I did made it and i did install TWRP. I have a question, since I have TWRP is it possible for me to install cm 12 rom or I need to have a unlock boot loader in order to install it?

Sorry for my bad english and thank you for answering my questions.;)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] infinitylook:
You need to unlock to flash a custom kernel which would be needed by the cm12 to run. So first.

1.Backup drm keys

2.Unlock BL

3. Flash CM kernel via fastboot

4. Flash CM Rom via recovery.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Cyberratchet:
I just bought a Z3 tablet compact, which should be here at the end of next week. I haven’t found a tutorial which includes all steps to get from the standard rom to CM12. Did I miss any steps or does the following steps include everything?

Root tablet on the original Sony rom

Backup TA partition (I guess that's where the DRM keys are?)

Unlock bootloader

Flash a recovery (any recommendations?) I found this tutorial, but I only need one recovery and I don’t want to flash that zip every time I install a new rom.

Flash CM12. Are there any kernels beside that one included in the CM12 zips?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] infinitylook:
I guess you should just flash the kernel via fastboot after unlocking the bootloader, that would eliminate the need to flash a recovery. It's hitting 2 birds and one stone and besides CM uses a different kernel than stock so later you would really need to flash kernel.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Cyberratchet:
Thanks for your reply. The whole flashing procedure is a lot more complicated than on my S3, so I have a follow-up question.

Should I just backup the TA partition, unlock the tablet, flash this kernel which should give me root and TWRP and then flash another recovery and CM12?

I found this recovery which is only semi-permanent, because you have to flash it before you upgrade/install a new CM12 version. It’s not big deal tbh, but is there a permanent recovery, which I only have to install once.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Calamityx1:
I'm also curious about this.

Right now, I'm trying to download the Flashtool program from Sony, but apparently, you need to "register" for it. Where did you guys download your Flashtool from?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] infinitylook:
Correct, make sure the kernel is compatible with CM
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Cyberratchet:
The whole procedure is really frustrating, maybe someone can help me here.

I did a backup of the TA partition and unlocked the bootloader. I tried flashing the boot.img from the cm.zip, but I have no idea how to flash the rom via the cm-recovery.

Flashing the advanced kernel to get TWRP wasn’t successful as well. I tried the fastboot mode of the Flashtool and flashed the kernel, but nothing changed.

Can someone post a brief guide with the next steps to get CM12 running (with cmd commands pls)?

EDIT: I just tried to use “adb sideload” in the CM recover, but “adb devices” doesn’t show the tablet :( .

EDIT2: EDIT: Seems like I got it to work after all. The DualRecover Installer worked, even without SuperSU installed.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] dereber:
I ran into the same problem usin the cm12 nightlies from 27th march 2015:

Sideloading would not work because the tablet is not recognized by the computer. I tried with Windows 7 and gentoo Linux.

Installing from the sd-card in recovery mode was also not possible due to a error of missing "/misc".

I solved the problem by manually choosing the driver in Windows 7. I booted the tablet into recovery. Choose update using adb as detailed in this post:

http://xdaforums.com/z3-tablet-compact/development/root-root-locked-bootloader-sgp621-t3013534

Then I found the device in the windows device manager. Here I manually choose the adb driver that I installed earlier from the flashtool package. After that the device was correctly recognized by Windows and I could Sideloade the cm12 image.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvilLost:
Sorry if these are noob questions, I'm pretty technical but this is my first run with a phone that can actually do things....

Is it possible (and/or how-to) do the following? And is ROOT required to do it?

1) Modify Edge panel icons for favorites bar (I assume with root I can change the actual apps icons so these will automatically change accordingly)

2) Make Edge screen "always on"

3) Use lock screen widgets AND thumbprint swipe at same time (I assume this is possible since default TW has the clock there? can't do it on stock but is there some means with root?)

4) Use a launcher that looks just like the TW home screen (I like the tiny phone and app drawer icons withOUT the 4 icons on each screen....I use my edge panel for my consistent icons and dont want clutter). I've tried a variety of launchers so far but they all have the classic 4 icons 'locked' to the bottom of all screens (admittedly I didn't dig deep into the options)

Not really a how-to question but...

5) When running a separate launcher, does it 'over-ride' the default the launcher or 'replace' the default launcher? It seems like they both run simultaneously which would be a performance/battery concern and one of the two main reasons I have avoided launchers (the other being that I enjoy the TW dialer icon in the corner)

Thanks all ! Loving this phone but somewhat disappointed at the (understandable) lack of development for the edge panel. It has massive potential.....if any devs would consider making custom edge panel apps for a tiny fee (like $50-100 and YOU keep all rights to the panel for future sales) please hit me up!

Yeah, the exploit that used was fixed a while back. Are you on 4.4.2 or 4.4.4? If on .2 Towelroot should work, if on .4 you would have to Odin back to one of the .2 builds, root with Towelroot and install Safestrap, then you could flash the prerooted .4 ROM and use Odin to flash the other low level stuff.
