My Tribute [Sprint] is messed up

I had just rooted it. I was removing the bloatware off and probably deleted something else as well. I think it was the "settings menu" cause before I rebooted the phone I couldn't access the system menu or any menu for that matter.

After I rebooted, its stuck and the screen shows: "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped"

I included 3 pics.

these are the only accessable areas to me

I was looking for a stock rom like I've seen for the LG G3 that has a .tot and .dll files and uses the LGFlashTool to reinstall the original system back.

If someone can help me with this, I would be very grateful.

If there is any other way to reinstall the stock system please let me know. Ive searched almost everywhere. Maybe im missing something

Please help
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fox2015:
Can you tell or link me to how you installed CM12 onto the Tribute?

Ive also have a non functioning phone ATM.

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlesteratkins:
Okay, I installed it through the stock OTA update procedure, it was already rooted, I then installed TWRP recovery as per the thread on here, I installed Closed framework,, the only other mods I have done is the permission.XML fix for SD card access, it was after this that I lost access.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlesteratkins:
Seems it was that platform.XML crap that caused the problems, I restored the file back to OEM and everything works now

Awesome, thank you for the reply... I have been working on a few flashable zips also if I need to throw more at it... I'm going to get back to work on it tonight. Thanks again.

lost access to what?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] high247:
There is no tot or kdz at this time, so I have no clue how you could fix that at this point. Sorry.

just a quick tip here for you all:

if you'd like to get rid of the camera on the lock screen, download "lockscreen policy" from the play store. by chislon chow.

tested and working on virgin LG tribute.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] high247:
That thing is handy though! lol :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpshelley2:
i would like it if I could choose what to launch from the home screen.. but just camera? I would rather have an uncluttered look on the lock screen. but to each his own!!

I know there are some other xposed modules that claim to do this, but they're all bloated as hell and most features don't work right on our phones, this app does one thing and does it well.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlesteratkins:
High247 : I lost access to Bluetooth and camera, after doing the "platform.xml" edit to fix kitkat's ad card access issue, I restored platform.xml back to original and both are working fine again.

I notice everybody stays with the V4 rom and avoids the V5 update. Why is that? My device is V5 and am wondering a.) are there benefits to moving back to V4 and b.) is there a custom rom available that is better
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] identixx:
I agree something else is going on. It could be too many apps vs. available RAM or storage space. Almost sounds to me like possible malware or even corrupt files. IMO flashing to a recovery stock image is your best option - then if you really feel you need it follow the root guide here http://xdaforums.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772

I used this method to root two seperate LG LS660P devices with no issue (the P in the end just means it is a Sprint prepaid model.. should work fine for other carriers)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] high247:
This is because some of us, like myself, rooted and modified our phones before the V5 update, so we can't update correctly and some of us are stuck on V4 because of that. There are no advantages or disadvantages though between V4 or V5 imo from what I have learned.

Having troubles with maintaining certain amount of RAM free. I get about 200-56 mbs free and I have looked in the settings app to see what apps are hogging up the RAM but I can only see these apps:

Minuum (keyboard) 42-132mbs

ACdisplay (Lockscreen) 18-42mbs

Heads-up! (Notifcations) 20-42mbs

Greenify (Hibernate apps) 7-18mbs

Nova launcher (Launcher) 18-38mbs

Those apps are about it that show up but this doesn't add up and I can't listen to music while messaging as my phone gets slow. The downside is I use those apps so much I can't uninstall them but anyways does anyone know of an app to allow me to see all the apps using up my RAM ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doctazz:
No app is needed to see RAM usage. Go to Settings, Apps, Running. That shows you the amount of free RAM. Also check Settings, Battery. Scroll down to see which apps are taking up the juice. Simply uninstalling apps you don't use much can help with RAM.

Bootloop

I was tinkering with my phone as it was getting slow and I found myself uninstalling apps I didn't need then I stumbled upon a cyanogenmod camera I installed I have 2 versions a pretty old one and then the newest one for KitKat so I uninstalled the old version and I also uninstalled a keyboard (kii keyboard) but I do remember I also enabled heads up on gravity box(I've done this before all was good) and on G3TWB I moved some options that I usually do . I rebooted the phone for changes to take place and what do you know I'm in a bootloop I tried pressing power button plus volume down and also power plus volume up. Nothing all I get is a weird two vibration feedback I can't boot up TWRP I have a backup but I can't for the love of God boot into twrp unless I've forgotten to... I'm trying all I can I know I can fix it but assistance would save me time

I'm doing this method but I'm stuck in the very beginning I've installed adb and the drivers I have my COM port number I run this command (On a command prompt window I opened from the start menu)

SendCommand.exe\\.\COM4

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

And I get the error 'dd' is not recognized as an internal or external command , operable program or batch file.

Any ideas? And also any tips when following this method?

Edit: Should I try adb shell in command prompt? I have and it does not detect my device... Problem after problem I only have a couple hours left to fix this phone but I'm still not giving up!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] high247:
Is your SystemUpdateService wakelocking? That will drain your battery and slow everything down. Are you on ZV4 or ZV5? Also how much free space is left internally? That can become a big issue.

So annoyed...

Ok. I was going to try the update and reroot. I used a stock recovery and stock rom to do this from twrp. I now have stock recovery but when I power up it gets stuck in a boot loop (LG). Here is the kicker. Normally I would put an update on an sd card and use stock recovery to flash a stock rom back or at least try it. BUT, my phone recovery does not recognize an sd card at all (E:failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument)). I can boot into download mode but in neither case is the phone recognized by adb or fast boot commands. I had already installed drivers but did so again to see if it would work. Used LG's drivers and the ones provided by Cpshelly2. nI have tried LG flash tool....Odin....(no tar or kdz)...the Lg tools say I have the latest recovery so the phone was at least recognized then. Unjustified Dev, I know you and Highonbeats have done so very much to develop a fantastic root system with help from several others. Can you guys think of a possible solution for this? If not I will try to go back to where I got it and see about a trade in. Thanks for everything you have done and here's hoping there is a solution.

Musicmanmike
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] high247:
Honestly if you can just trade it in for a new one I'd do that and start fresh. I can't think of a way to fix what you did. Sorry.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] novatek128:
Did u try to root with the one click script by avicoh? It worked for me with the stock recovery and zv5 update. If you can get in download mode it should work. It looks like it hangs at the end but if you see the

Sorry for the late review , and i am so sure i will fall asleep asap when i touch my pillow( Darn , a man have to keep his words , i made a promise and got free sample ,so i have to keep up this time to finish this review)

Links here from amazon http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Artec..._18?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1426901593&sr=1-18

This is a really nice phone case/wallet combo. I've had it just about a few days now and I think I'm ready to write a review.

I've used wallet-style cases before; here's why this one's a keeper.

1) Unique feel & look. This is aged leather. Instant heirloom. Not shiny-crisp like something out of a factory. The kind of finish that only gets better with a couple of nicks or scratches.

2) Holds 3 cards and folded cash, sure. But I'm able to hold my transit card in the back with my cash, card against the front edge of the case, and I can just slide my case against the RFID reader for our busses/trains without taking out the card. This is the first case I've been able to do that with. HANDY!!

3)The closure is almost invisible ,very short closure and semi automatic close as magnet effect, unlike most cases who use a long strap to close the case flat .

4) Firm and even stitch , handcrafted leather case is art , enjoy my art case.

5) Instant compliments. I've only been using the case for a couple of days and have already gotten wows from family, friends, and employees at the Att store (went in to get a screen protector for the phone).

6) Two other photos taken with the camera in the case show that the case does not in any way impede the photo or flash from working. THIS IS VERY RARE among this kind of case. Read reviews of similar products and see for yourself.

As for 39 dollars price ( I got it for free) ,This was well worth the cost. I've got nothing but praise for this company
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] miantiaoliang:
nice

nice would like to give a try
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
Is it a soft TPU case for the phone inside the wallet?

The amazon link shows more like a plastic material which doesn't cover the top and bottom bit of the phone.

Looks amazing.

I would be keen to get one if I can confirm it's actually a tpu material.

would you be able to send one of those to me if I pay you?? :o
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] karlleuang85:
You do not need to pay me

The inner case is tpu , it snuggy fits , pretty good .

I just got it for review , if you have the ability to write an article to tell me people how it works , you might have a chance to get it free or at super low cost

If you like the vintage look , you might love the case .

based on my own exp , the craftsmanship is amazing

[Galaxy S6 Accessories] NumberTwoinQQ:
Looking to also get a leather wallet case and am looking into this one as one of the candidates. Others on my list include:

http://www.amazon.com/Feature-Samsu...23192&sr=1-82&keywords=leather+case+galaxy+s6

http://www.amazon.com/Terrapin-GENU...23152&sr=1-54&keywords=leather+case+galaxy+s6

http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-ACEABOVE®-Feature-Wallet-ChestNut/dp/B00T3BZSFO/

Could you measure the height of the case with the phone in it? Also how is the kickstand and quality of leather on the back? I've had some cases where the fold on the back for the stand causes the leather on the back of the case to crease hard and cause tears.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] carolineOHIO:
You must be kidding , Such a Pu Leather for 20 dollars ?

shame on the price
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] NumberTwoinQQ:
Ok, between the artech 21 and the aceabove: http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-ACEABOVE®-Feature-Wallet-ChestNut/dp/B00T3BZSFO/

which do you think would be the better choice? I'm kind of leading towards the aceabove since it doesnt have any branding on the front. It says it's made of real cordoba leather
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] carolineOHIO:
I guess you are from china , And you do not even notice that Full-Grain Leather And Genuine Leather .

Please wiki it

Also , i just translate it in google for you Full-grain Leather == 全粒面皮 ，means nature very top Layers of the leather

Genuine Leather== 真皮，Means Hybrid lower quality layer cast a layer of Pu , it is okay , but now good enough

And more , if you ever been to T.X , you will find he saddle back make the best brief case with full grain leather cost more than 600 dollars

so make a decision by yourself .
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] xda_guy:
Hello,

i was contemplating buying an artemis.

i was wondering what the difference between the T-Mobile MDA Compact III and the O2 XDA Orbit is?

i hav read that t-mobile does not support wifi on its model, in addition to that, are there any other differences.

i read that there is an SD card issue with the O2 orbit, i guess that applies to the compact III too?

any idea when WM6 for artemis will be out, will t-mobile,o2 provide it as a flash update? or will we have to get it from HTC.

i saw WM6 for hermes on this site, i guess that cant be used on the artemis?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mikealder:
Apart from the T-Mobile not having the WiFi hardware within the unit the other differences are minimal, the O2 offering has a darker coloured outer shell and has more rounded corners - otherwise its the same. To be honest I do not miss the WiFi on the T-Mobile unit due to the GPRS internet access with the web-n-walk package.

I have had no issues mith scrambled memory cards on either my HTC P3300 or T-Mobile unit, so I cannot comment on this.

Don't ever try putting any ROM on a device that it wasn't intended for, if you do this your nice new phone will turn instantly into a very costly wedge to keep your door open - a brick - Wait unit the official ROM becomes available before trying WM6 on the unit - Mike
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] xda_guy:
thanks for the reply,

so there is no EDGE or 3G on the Cmpact III

you think there is going to be an official WM6 from t-mobile?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mikealder:
Edge Yes, 3G no, WM6 from T-Mobile who knows - it might happen but don't hold your breath - Mike
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] xda_guy:
thanks for the response dude

seen screen shots of WM6, that would be real cool.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mikealder:
I use WM6 on the Exec and the Mini-S (thanks to this forum), its great but not that different to be honest compared to WM2005, when/ if WM6 becomes available I will switch the newer units to the newer OS but I certainly won't loose sleep over the issue - Mike
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Bart1981:
Here in the Netherlands WM6 for T-Mobile users will be availible at the end of july.

Btw, the Dutch version of the MDA Compact III does have Wifi. Guess we Dutch are just lucky.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Samson711:
Check the serveral Topics about WM& on this Forum, different Carriers have announced the possibility of them publishing official ROM Upgrades to WM6, including t-mobile and O2.

Not sure about the others. But the phone seems like not able to get opened up as easy as unscrewing the screw. Probably will leave some scratches or damage to the digitizer etc. Is the price differ that much?

PS: What about IMEI number?? If you are buying demo unit I don't think you will have any valid IMEI from the demo phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toss3:
He could just use one from an old phone (or maybe his carrier doesn't care about phones without IMEI-numbers).
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PieOfJustice:
If you have the demo units that had been used during launch then your going to need more then a Mobo. The screens don't actually work so you'll need one of those. Also a battery. Then the Mobo. Working Spen, because the demo units don't actually work. Then you need to get the equipment to flash a IMEI if the Mobo doesn't have one. Just at the price of Mobo replacements your better off buying a real Note 4 straight up.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacksoncolocho:
ok I want to do that because I already did with an S5 I purchase a demo unit then just replaced the motherboard with another that I have, and now I have a fully functional galasy S5, but I don´t know if it is the same with a note 4 by the way the demo unit of the galaxy S5 is the g900x model and use it with a g900h motherboard
