D852 Fido

Hello there

I am new to this forum and to rooting devices and I apologize in advance if I can't even express myself properly.

So, I have D852 from Fido (Quebec) that I really like and want to keep.

Until recently, it had stock MM and everything was fine.

I downgraded to LP 5.0.1 Telus and managed to get it rooted (phone works fine but no data since downgrade).

I then tried to install TWRP and for whatever reason, it doesn't work.

I used ADB, AutoRec, Flashify, TWRP Official App, nothing works.

They all show that the installation is successful but when I try to boot to recovery (Quickboot, ADB, Power&Vol-), all I get is red/blue led flashes then I press Volume Down and the phone boots normally.

I really want to get TWRP on it so I can flash the latest Oreo on it.

Thank you in advance

Would updating to Marshmallow and using MM Autorec help with installing TWRP on the D855? http://turbobit.net/fg6nmu0ujhpo.html

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ----------

Probably should have started a new thread, this is for D855. For your D852, try Marshmallow Autorec, worked for me: https://mega.nz/#F!rtI1naZT!LJIKUVpv8fYjrvhpykA4_A!2o433RBZ

Hello, I have problems with my phone. I need help almost desperately.

I can't do anything with my phone now. As you probably read, until about two weeks ago I had Fido stock MM on D852.

I managed to downgrade to Telus LP 5.0.1. After the successful downgrade, I was able to root my phone but not to install TWRP.

Now I can't install any KDZ, not even going back to Rogers/Fido MM.

How can I PM you for faster and better communication?

Thank you in advance,
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lb357:
Hello Whatsgoingon,

I can't try MM because the phone doesn't let me flash original Rogers/Fido (D852) KDZ.

I am currently rooted on LP 5.0.1 and I do get OTA upgrade message to MM. Should I upgrade then try your method?

Is there any risk that I will not be able to do it and get stuck with MM without the ability to downgrade to LP or KK again?

I only want root and TWRP to be able to flash custom ROMs.

Thank you,
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whatsgoingon:
I can't make any guarantees, but for me it worked.

I had no other option as I was stuck on MM with no kdz/tot for Lollipop or Kit Kat for my D852, so I have no experience downgrading. It worked great for me on MM and I tried everything else to get TWRP on my phone.

This file does not seem to be restricted to a specific carrier and is supposed to work on all D852s, but you can check this thread to see if anyone tried it on a Fido: https://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/apk-flash-twrp-autorec-thanks-to-t3081396

In regards to the what seems to be a disturbing trend in forcing people to "Buy" their hacks. (If You Wish To Use Them)

I was going to write a big long rambling post about it but i think the link below sums it up pretty good.

I think we have lost our way somewhere along the path.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_ethic#The_hacker_ethics
[Off-topic] koftheworld:
no one is forcing any one to buy anything. this root product didn't cost $0 on the developers end, especially in terms of time. if i put that much time and effort into a product, i would like to be compensated as well. if you don't want to pay the fee, then you don't get root. you were the one that knowingly bought a phone that didn't have an unlockable bootloader and didn't have root. having root and/or bootloader unlock on locked phones is not a right.
[Off-topic] Akrifay:
I think your missing the point ... you even read the wiki article or just the first line of the post and go OMGMYYOUSOUNGRATEFUL lol
[Off-topic] this_is_nascar:
I didn't even read the article that you linked, however, I'd like to remind you that no one is forcing you to purchase anything? This is true with anything and everything. That's the problem with today's society, instant gratification and on the flip-side, a person's perceived right of entitlement. I say this all the time, if you don't like something, vote with your wallet. That goes for anything. I can't stand the fact that athletes and team owners make the amount of money they do, so I no longer pay to go to an event. I no longer pay to purchase swag, etc. I vote with my wallet.

Same here. If people have an issue with being charged for (I can't even call it root access), then don't buy it. It's really that simple.
[Off-topic] Akrifay:
You are correct... poor choice of words in the first line ... They are not Forcing me to do anything. But please try to see past my poor wording and realize the point.... Hacker Ethic ... hack the planet ...free the world ... not OMG i can make money of this! lol
[Off-topic] koftheworld:
Of course I read the post. This is not the golden age of android hacking anymore. Everyone is looking to monetize due to the complexity of actually getting root/bootloader unlock as compared to how the OS was in the beginning. The community, the phones, and the OS were much different in the beginning. At this point in time, I think people who don't have these skills and willingly purchased locked down devices should have their wallets open if they want anything. Maybe with the next big OS we'll see a return to "hacker ethics", but now it's about getting paid for you think your work is worth.
[Off-topic] orangechoochoo:
Why is it disturbing that you pay for their time and effort working on this? The Sunshine team spent countless ours and bricked countless devices to develop Sunshine. Should they bear the burden just so you can freely use the fruits of their labor?

What I think is disturbing is that people expect hackers and developers to do things for free. They don't have to do what they do. They don't have to put up with rude users (not referring to you). They don't have to release their work to the public. They don't have to reply to countless posts, PMs, and emails. It is a bunch of time they pit into this.

But, but, but...it's their hobby, they like doing it. I like working on cars as a hobby, but it doesn't mean I should change everyone's oil for free.

But, but but...releasing their methods benefits the android community as a whole. Making me give away my time and effort for the good of the community sounds like socialism.

Your reference to the hacking ethics forgets the assumption that other hackers are sharing their work too. Where is your share of the code that you're working on to benefit the hackers? Since there is no code of yours to share you can contribute monetarily, if they require it.

[Off-topic] Munkee915:
Ethics are not rules. You can follow them or not, its up to the individual. That being said, it does say "Information should be free", not that they should work for free. If maiko1 decides to publish information on the exploit he found, i guess that would be following ethics. He doesnt have to create a tool that does the work and release it for free. Hackers still have jobs. they have to buy food and pay rent. Many times hackers will find exploits and leverage them against companies for larger payouts or even a full time gig. In that light, I'm glad he released it, even if it is at a cost, because there's a real chance we might have never seen the exploit.

I have contributed to many a Dev over the years... I am not a Dev per say ... But i believe i am a Hacker by the true definition ... just happens not to be Android Software that i hack.

[Off-topic] Akrifay:
Oh I know! This is great! ABSOLUTELY Ethics are Subjective 100% I agree with you totally ... i guess it just boils down to your definition of right and wrong... Hey i hope he makes a ton of money off it i really do ... Just by my definition i have in MY head i consider it ethically wrong ... IMO hehe
[Off-topic] Symbiontsoul:
I'm all for supporting the devs for their hard work and time. However, I think whats trying to be communicated here is the change in mindset that we have moved to a format of people willing to donate for a project vs. making it mandatory. Again while I do feel those who do the work should get compensated, I am kinda of disappointed in the idea of an X amount of $$. The bounty was set up so people can donate what they can to the project. There will be many people who are willing to pay money but not $20, others may be willing to pay more. With a mandatory set amount you tend to alienate some of the community. Things have changed and it is getting harder to root devices. I know it takes more work. I acknowledge this. However, it does feel that overall sense of community is suffering as a result. I respect the Dev's decision in how to release the root method. However, I am one who will not be rooting my device because my needs just don't require it and therefor I don't feel it would be worth $20 for me to have root. That's just me though.
[Off-topic] Akrifay:
Yay im getting through! lol
[Off-topic] orangechoochoo:
I forgot about the bounty. Did the guy get it? If so, then I it's odd that he is asking for additional payment too.

Edit- I see that the root bounty thread was closed be cause the rooter is requiring $20 payment t instead.
[Off-topic] rajuabju:
wow, XDA sure has changed over the years.
[Off-topic] Im Saint:
If I am to agree with you, I would like to see your free hack/exploit contribution to the community.

You aren't paying for a root method. The root method is explained. You're paying for the product that does it for you.
[Off-topic] Munkee915:
Well, look at it this way. By the definition you posted, in that information should be free, maiko1 had no further responsibility to the community than to make a post and say "Hey, i found XYZ exploit. Do with it what you will." He did not have to say how that exploit specifically would allow us to gain root access, let alone make a tool that did it for us. All he had to do was publish the information. Then he would have been an "ethical hacker" according to your definition. Now, seeing as how in the post above the one i quoted, you stated you are not an Android developer, even if you had this information available for free, what would you do with it? By your own admittance you wouldnt be able to achieve root with just the information, you still needed a tool to do it for you. Someone has to develop this tool. There are no ethics for "ethical development" and certainly no expectation that it should be free. Developers work for money. Don't confuse hacking with developing. Hacking is finding exploits. Developing tools to take advantage of them is a whole other story.

Also, just to kill the whole "the hack should be free" argument :

From the article you linked. You have access to the method and tool, he didnt root his own phone and keep it from the rest of us. Doesnt mean you shouldnt pay for it.

Great my wizzard is stuck

its on 98% then de blue/green bar on my phone turned red en stays that way it doesnt do anything anymore, after a while my computer says the installation is finished, (SOMETIMES i get an error that has something to do with memory on my computer. or it says usb connection got lost or something)

i can reboot my phone but its going straight in the boot menu with those collors, i can try the downgrade rom again but it keeps getting stuck at 98%

anywone some suggestions?

I tried to install the folowing: CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe

becose i wanted to unlock my phone (dont know if its locked or not)

I tried a few other roms but they wont install at all

I forgot some info:

gsm 01.04.10

os 2.18.1.3

it is an orange m3000 (i have a t-mobile simcard)

im using my sim in another phone do i need the simcard in the m3000 ?

well a few minutes later:

i put my simcard in my phone, but it still hangs

i tried in now on 2 computers but both are stuck at 98%

is a 1.04.10 radio a valid radio for a 2.xx rom?

If you are stuck, the only/best way to recover is to flash an official rom from your carrier. You can get to the bootloader so you are NOT bricked. You are just flashing roms that have a CID that doesn't match your phones. Try the button rom or the wizard love rom that the unlocking stickies mention repeatedly.

Were your IPL/SPL 2.18 before you started?

Read the Wiki, Read the stickies. For every person that says the process doesn't work there are 100 that it works flawlessly for and 99% of the time those that can't get it to work don't follow all the steps in order or just outright skipped steps or substituted with what THEY thought was better. There is a reason for each and every step in the guides. IF you follow them properly you WILL NOT have any issues.

For the situation you are in now: STOP trying to flash custom roms, you MUST get your phone back to a usable state before you go down that path again. Use your carriers latest available rom to recover your device.

Also you are lucky to get an answer at all because your question is asked in almost every single new thread and every single ROM thread. The answers are already easily found if you take the time to look yourself.

thanks man, i tried the original orange rom and it worked.

im so happy, thank you for all your helpful comments ;)

2.18 before i flased is yes.

i wanted to copy a new rom to my device, but i thought it was cid locked.

so i followed step by step the guide from faria

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=263116&highlight=stuck+at+98%

but i think the problem was that i did not have an aku2 or whatever that means.

Im sorry if im being rude, but you people do a wonderful job on those roms and step by step guide's but u forget that there are people that have no clue what aku2 means when i google is, it says a new rom from t-mobile with wm5 but it doenst say how somewone can check for themselfs if they have an aku2 rom...

Im verry sorry for those noob questions but it look like a heva the same rom that i had before i messed it all up.

so can i install a new rom from here? like one of these?

Pro Black 3[1].0.1.exe

CB-AIRAF.exe

?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Zzan:
You will not be able to install a CUSTOM rom until you CID unlock. I don't believe the Black 3.0 rom is available for the Wizard. It is a Hermes rom. There are several WM 6 roms available for the wizard, you should probably look in the WM6 sub-thread once you get yourself completely CID unlocked.

The tutorial tells you everything you need to know, even if you don't know anything about anything. Just read the instructions follow the links to download the roms/tools that it is talking about. If you don't understand the instructions you can post in that thread and the authors or others will help you there. Though they most likely will not respond until you show that you have read and at least have an idea of what you are trying to do, where you started where you are and where you would like to end up. If you don't understand the instructions there is always the IMEI unlockers site that will give you a utility to do it if you want to pay them for it.

Why are you trying to upgrade? Do you need to upgrade? Are you willing to void your warranty on your phone? Can you live without it if something drastic happens and you truly do brick your device, in most cases you will not be able to exchange your phone under warranty? If you haven't defined the first question or answered no to any or all of the other questions you shouldn't be rom flashing, especially not with unapproved roms that aren't supported by your carrier. You need to measure the potential gains against the risk of doing these things to determine if it is right for you. Once you get unlocked and flash a couple of roms you will see that it is easy and relatively safe as long as you read and follow the instructions they are tried and true and do work if they are followed properly.

I would suggest using this thread to unlock your device: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=285435

i like my phone but i have troubles with sms the recever keeps getting old of no messages so that why a want another rom

i would be a shame if i brick it, but im willing to try

im doing the steps from your link now, ik istalling te rom at the second point but it still is stuck on 98% :|

is there another 1.5 rom? that i can try? i read someting about the love rom
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Zzan:
The Wizard Love rom is another that people use when the Button rom doesn't work for them. I don't have a link to it but I am sure it is linked in the Upgrading or G4 sub-forums. Maybe even in the Wiki. Sorry haven't been spending much time in the Wizard forums as I only flash my wizard when something breaks, or a new feature is added -- My wife uses that phone now :P.

There is always the pay to unlock website but you should be able to get it unlocked with either button or the wizard love rom.

Just out of curiosity how long do leave it sitting at 98% before you determine that it is stuck? All roms "stick" at a few points during the flashing process. If you didn't wait at least 5 minutes or get an error on your PC you probably didn't wait long enough. Best advice I have on this is disable all power management/screen savers on your PC set up the flash. Once it starts leave the room and close the door for no less than 30 minutes. This way you can be sure that you didn't interrupt it. For a Wizard the flash should complete in 10 minutes or less. For the Hermes it can take a full 30 minutes depending on your flashing method an which components you are flashing. It is normal to hang for a few minutes at different points during the flash process, just because there is no transfer doesn't mean something isn't being decompressed/written on the device from what has already been transferred over.
