[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MWGiants:
I was trying to install TWRP on my phone (LS990, ZV8) using flashify app. This didn't work and after I did so, every time I would try to "reboot into recovery" the phone would get stuck and I would need to pull the battery out. I then read somewhere that the fix was to delete the aboot.img and install the kitkat aboot.img . I tried to do that, and afterwards my phone won't boot at all. It gets stuck and screen turns black and the LED flashes. It sometimes gives me an error message about the bootloader I think. If I try to boot into Download mode, it (sometimes) takes me straight into fastboot instead. When I try to run fastboot and type "devices" I either get back nothing or now I get back a "?". Maybe I don't have the proper driver. Please Please help!!!

Upsdate: Ok so I played with the drivers and although I still can't get a response to "fastboot devices" I tried to flash a recovery and I can get response on the phone to some degree. It says "fastboot: getwar:partition-type:recovery" but the cmd prompt on the computer says "cannot load recovery.img".

Maybe I just need to try and flash a bootloader or a download mode. Anyone know where I can get an laf for download mode. Or Have any directions?

Please help me!!!

UPDATE: FIXED IT!!!! What I did was use fastboot to load up an laf.img that I was able to download from someone on here (took a lot of searching to find an laf.img). Even though I was unable to flash the laf (tried a bunch of times and it always gave me that "failure to write" error right at the end), I was able to use fastboot to boot up the laf.img that was on my computer and that got the phone into download mode. Bear in mind that I still wouldn't get the serial number back from "fastboot devices" so if you're having this problem and it doesn't give you the serial number back it's ok. Just try to run some fastboot commands and see if you get a response on the phone, that way you'll know if fastboot is working. Anyway, I was then able to restore it via LGFlashtool. So yup, its fixable!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsbighead:
Unfortunately its hard bricked and the repair center will know that you tampered with it. The nature of the LG bootloader makes it so that you cant write or boot any images using fastboot.

What was wrong with your method is, when you downgrade to KitKat android bootloader you have to also downgrade the bootloader, laf and recovery partition or other wise it bricks. You should have downgraded your phone using LG Flash Tool to KitKat and then root and install whatever you wanted

In your case the version mismatch between your aboot, bootloader and laf partition is the reason why it doesnt work

OK sir, I fixed it so clearly it was not hard bricked (don't say that if you aren't sure, it would have cost me plenty of money to replace that had I not known better). What I did was use fastboot to load up an laf.img that I was able to download from someone on here. Even though I was unable to flash the laf, I was able to use fastboot to boot up the laf.img that was on my computer and that got the phone into download mode. I was then able to restore it via LGFlashtool. So yup, its fixable!

Yeah, once I got it into download mode (that was the whole problem, I was stuck in fastboot) I was able to fix it.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twisted_twice:
congrats. it is good to know it is fixable
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsbighead:
That's awesome to hear. It seems that booting the laf partition does not actually work under fastboot mode for D855 variants which is why I thought it wouldn't work for you
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hakem:
That's great. And what fastboot commands did you use to execute the laf from your computer ?

Hey bro i m having same issue ! Can you please explain laf.img , i tried twrp.img !

What does 'laf' means
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MWGiants:
Hi, sorry for the late reply. I hope you've already fixed it, but if you're still having this problem then let me explain. "laf.img" is the "download mode" partition. The reason you can't use twrp.img (which is a recovery partition image) is because you're "too far gone" so to speak and not even at the point to try and get into recovery. You need to restore download mode first. If you have fastboot properly working (not going to explain that, look it up, there is plenty of info about that on here and other sites), then you can do what I did. (Although from what other people are saying if you have a D855 it will have a locked bootloader and this won't work, I cant tell you about that because I don't have one and haven't played around with one). Anyway, if you have fastboot working properly (read my first post about how it can be working as long as the phone is responsive, even if you don't get back the "devices comman", you may need to play around with the drivers to get this to work) then you need to obtain an laf.img from somwhere. I found a complete set of .img's for my model somewhere (don't remember if it was on this site or somewhere else). It took a lot of searching, but I'm sure you can find one. Once you have that and the working fastboot then run the command "fastboot boot [location of your laf.img]laf.img"

GOOD LUCK!!!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MWGiants:
That's interesting...do you have any idea why that would be? Is it a locked bootloader like someone else mentioned? (I don't know much about the D855 model, never got to play with one). Maybe there is a workaround we can come up with...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MWGiants:
I realized the problem with the mismatched aboot after the fact... ironically it all worked out because after all of this I am now back to the original kitkat and can just root and flash as you said lol.

Hi all,

I have recently upgraded my phone contract and thus got a new phone. I'm looking to sell my Note 3, but I'm trying to return the phone to stock 4.4.2 as when I was using the phone I flashed a leaked Lollipop ROM on there.

My problem is, whatever link I try either 404's or its a website where the estimated download will take 5 hours, unless you pay through the nose for an 'unlocked download speed'

I was wandering can anyone point me in the right direction, to somewhere where I can download the Firmware quick and easily??

Thank You

Hi,

While all of us are patiently waiting for pof to release his updated simunlock tool for the new batches of X01HT. Has anyone of us tried alternative methods?

Below are my findings:

1. http://imei-check.co.uk/m3100unlock.php Does not support white X01HT

2. http://www.jictechnology.co.uk/products/jic_nextgen_server.shtml Not clearly indicated whether it is supported or not.

3. http://www.mobile2mobile.net/unlock/RemoteunlockingHTCPocketPC.htm ???

I have made an interesting observation. There are many ebay sellers selling unlocked white X01HT. So are they so lucky that they could get unpowered white X01HT, unlock it with POF's tool or they have another way to unlock it?

Cheers

Possible unlock with JIC nextgen server?

I have purchased a credit to test with the above provider. In so far. they are the only one that says can unlock any version.

http://www.nextgenserver.com/

I would assume their tech support is knowledgeable about their product as they have told me multiple times it will work.

After numerous unsuccessful attempts, the unlock client will hang at "negotiating with server....." the tech helped to diagnose and claimed that they are too many hops and long latency between my isp and theirs. As such, it will never work.

I still believe is their ability to unlock new rom after April 2007. Is there anyone in the UK whom would like to try it out? I don't think there should be any more hop/latency excuse for UK customers.

If your phone is asking for a code, do not try to enter code unless you KNOW its the code. Too many attempts and the phone may not be unlockable by code and you will have to wait for another software unlocker like pof's v3a (v4a?).

The Wait is over

Guys,

It's done! Kevin's code worked flawlessly...

I know it's not free, but I waited 3 months for it. It's worth every cent and at least now I can use my phone like a phone :p

Well there are limitations like no radio upgrades, radio boot loader cannot be changed ...but other than that, no issue with phone function.

I did ran into some problem initially as I could not "trigger" the ask for unlock code screen. I tried doing the AT@simlock command with no avail partly due to bootloader version. Eventually I gave up and tried flashing it to the Docomo rom. Upon power up, the unlock screen came out, punched in the magic number and the phone came to life...

A word about Kevin, he is a 5 Stars seller, for a moment, I thought he came from a city that never sleeps... Great seller!!

Just to let everyone know. I only have a couple of codes left and it will be first come first serve until they are gone.

I don't know if I will be getting more codes right now, but I might in a few weeks (I am kind of broke right now).

When I run out of codes, I will post here and tell where you can get the codes after mine run out.

This is not my business; I was just trying to help out a few people. The person I get the codes from is the same attitude, so he can be trusted as well! Good luck everyone! :D

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegipper:
So I am not entirely sure if it is the phone or whats going on but I thought I would share in case someone else had similar problems with their note 4.

My wifi speed at home is always slower on my note 4 versus my wifes identical note 4. Both White Verizon note 4s. Other devices such as my laptop and hers all get good speed results. Mine will be as slow as 3mbps when hers is over 10.

I have "forgot" the network, reconnected. Didn't change anything. The wifi setting on our phones are identical. Rebooted, battery pulls...nothing changes. Wifi signal strength is identical.

Called ATT (Uverse internet) and they came out and installed a new wireless router, still no change.

Sometimes when I'm streaming videos with my phone at home on the wifi it just gets crazy slow when all of our other devices are just fine.

Anyone know why this is happening or what I can try to fix it? Short of doing a hard reset which I really don't want to do, is there anything else? It really seems like there is something wrong with my phone?

Thanks for the help

Which are the imei blocks?:confused:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] r3pwn:
The IMEI is in the utags partition.

su
dd if="/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/utags" of="/sdcard/utags.bin"

Then pull utags.bin off of the internal storage of the device and open it in a hex editor (you need root to copy it to the internal storage)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] thecaptain0220:
What about 2nd init? This seems to have been a good solution in the past. I believe this is how Safestrap worked. It used an exploit in a log file to launch 2nd init from the data partition. In this case the system would boot from data and we would presumably have full access. I don't know if the exploit would still work in 4.4.4. This would be the key, but the exploit could be added to a system image and flashed. Safestrap would be awesome, but even a simple 2nd init could work to start. I am just throwing this out there for discussion. This is way outside of my means, but someone else might be able to help.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] r3pwn:
To answer your first question, no, dd'ing a new recovery in place wouldn't work. I think wp(write protect) would stop it and even if it doesn't, booting it would fail, as it verifies the signature of the partition it's booting from unless the device is unlocked or an engineering model. For your second question, yes, if you could miraculously perform the act of getting a recovery in there and it boots (emphasis on "and it boots") you *should* be able to backup/restore/install stuff.

In our country, you have to register to use the mobile phone brought a passport outside the country due to a ridiculous law. Also you invest 50$ before the bank for this purpose.

That's not all. The passport to be registered abroad in the last 2 months need to be logged in our country. In addition, within the last 2 years it is supposed to be saved to another mobile phone passport...

This transaction is being processed on the IMEI number...

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jake7405:
I have some ideas for bootloader unlock. They're probably really stupid, but bear with me. Like OP, I'm no developer, just an Android enthusiast with basic knowledge of the inner workings.

So the Moto Maxx US (XT1250) and Droid Turbo (XT1254) are essentially the same device, right? They essentially have the same specs, same hardware, software, and they both work on CDMA carriers like Verizon. The only difference is that the Maxx's bootloader is not locked by Verizon. So here are a few ideas pertaining to that.

***NOTE: It has to be the XT1250 variant

Idea A:

1. XT1250 Maxx user uses "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" or goes through WinDroid to get the unlock key

2. Key is given to a Turbo user

3. Turbo user uses "fastboot oem unlock <maxx_key>

4. Profit

Idea B (risky):

1. Turbo user downloads XT1250 system .img

2. User flashes to Turbo using RSDlite or MOFO (not sure which would work better, if at all)

3. Use WinDroid to unlock BL, root, and install a custom recovery

4. Profit

Yes, yes, I know...they are probably bad ideas, but we must consider every possibility! :)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] r3pwn:
These wouldn't work. Good start on ideas, though.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] smokie11:

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] r3pwn:
The phone data itself (IMEI and stuff) is still the same, so the unlock data generated would still be the same, meaning Motorola would still reject it.

Was shown this as potential ways to head towards bl unlock. Leaving it here for greater minds to dissect.

Nova Launcher Prime- Gestures, customization... Soon bigger update will be available and I'm sure that I won't have to pay for it (just like Action Launcher case)
