[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] D€INOS:
That worked flawlessly, thanks, you're awesome! And a super quick response to boot :)

I think I've used your roms pre lollipop and it have been great. Do all firmware get updated when flashing Xperia devices? I'm more used to HTC in which roms didn't include firmware and I used to flash it separately via fastboot.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] kulvertti:
You are welcome. Not sure if I understand your question correctly. This is one way to install whole firmware with everything and include root and custom recovery. How ever if you want you can make it differently. With locked bootloader I don't see any benefit to make it any more complicated than this is.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] D€INOS:
Thanks for that too, yep it's simple flash and go, great package! Take care :)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] amtomio2004:
I have no access to the service menu. How do I know if my tablet has the bootloader unlocked?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] ranf:
Install this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neoscreenager.xperiaservicemenu

BUT: the service menu only tells you if unlock_ABLE_
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] kulvertti:
As mentioned you can install several app from Playstore to get acces service menu on xperia devices. Or on your device you can

1. Open Contacts app

2. Click menu button

3. Click settings button

4. In that window you need to long press (maybe 5 seconds or so) area just above your navigation bar and then release and you get "enter service code". Press it and enter *#*#7378423#*#* and you are in service menu.

5. In service menu go to Service info/Configuration and there you see Rooting status which show if "Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes/No or empty" and also if your bootloader is allready unlocked. How ever it can´t show if your bootloader is relocked.

If you want you can also check your drm keys status in service menu by going to Service tests/Security and you can see if "Key OK" and "Active".

Hi

probably I've another stupid question which I found really no answer for.

Youtube alway tells me "There was a problem while playing, Touch to retry".

When I completely clear the apps cache partition it will work for some time but I doesn't take long to display this message again.

Is there any solution for this known? I've read posts about reinstall OS or similar, but everything I tried will not work for long.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] BabelHuber:
I had the same issue on Saturday. This is what I did:

- Go to Settings-->Apps and delete all data from Youtube

- Reboot

Works since then (I have just tried it out to make sure it still works)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] markusmuster:
Already tried this and other very much other so called tips. The result was every time the same - Works for a limited time and suddenly stopped.

I hope there is a permanent fix for this very annoying bug...

I already tried:

Fixed DNS (which is no option)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaVKaDoh2WU

Delete Data (works sometimes only)

"Restrict app background data"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cEsVy4fdd0

and many many others. Clearing the app cache partition seems to be the only thing that works for one or two days so far.

I've to say only my Z2 Tablet has this problem. None of my other devices ever had this and I've many of them! (N4, N5, N7 2012, N7 2013, N10, Asus Trnasformer Pad) so it must be something with Sony.... And it is since Lollipop, never before.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stibuz95:
Hello everyone :)

I'm using ST LITE rom, and I find it very good. I had some problems (yes, because the developer has removed so much things IMHO). The most important:

in google play store i can't download apps like "clash of clanes" or "instagram" or... because they aren't compatible. I think there is an error in the build.prop (i've solved two problems editing its, so i think the problem is there!).

thanks!

Stefano.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sound Engineer:
My parents just bought S3 Minis (on my recommendation, doh!) and they've both complained that their data has been used up quickly.

I took a look and realised that their phones are using network data in most parts of their home as the wifi signal being received is so poor.

I downloaded Wifi Analyser on each phone as well as my HTC One (M7) and put them all together. It seems that wherever I am in the house, the HTC is getting 75%-100% signal and the S3s are getting less than 25%.

Are the S3s just utterly terrible for wifi reception? Never had any problem before with any other devices, everyone uses tablets, iPads, laptops etc with no trouble at all.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moonland:
Hi

I'm planning to do a factory reset on my i9506, since I've had many problems with it lately.

Problem is, when I connect my phone to my computer to backup/copy files i.e. go to Computer\S IV\Phone\DCIM\Camera

I can only see pictures like .jpg files, but not any of my video .mp4 files.

Another example, looking at my Download folder on my computer it shows 70 files, but browsing the folder with my phone there are actually 334 files.

I've tried connecting as MTP and PTP with no difference.

The files I'm backing up are on the phones internal memory. I don't have an SD card atm because the phone messed it up.

Now I can't do a factory reset untill I've gotten all of my "important" files secured on my computer...

How can I fix this? I really need to reset my phone to possibly get it working normally again.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Use something like Airdroid to transfer the files. I also always have some kind of problems transfering files in any other way.

[Sprint LG G2] creepin:
does it contains global sim unlock or I have to unlock it manually?
[Sprint LG G2] Agimax:
No, as of now there is no Customizations (besides root). The light and ultra versions are just stripped down. My next release will be a customized ROM with whatever customizations the community would like (as long as I am capable/have time to do them).
[Sprint LG G2] creepin:
bro I dont need any customization just want to unlock my sim on stock ZVG rom because I am unable to do it with other methods :(
[Sprint LG G2] Agimax:
I have NOT included a SIM Unlock at this time. If an unlock hack is available, I will include it with the CUSTOMIZED version of the ROM.
[Sprint LG G2] creepin:
Ok thanks... Waiting!! :(
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
Dude, rocking the stock already. I like it. Or will after I grab it. The bloat is so not cool.

Even some of lg bloat kills.

Thanks
[Sprint LG G2] Agimax:
Then you will love it when I slap together the Customized/Tweaked version :)
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
Looking forward to it.
[Sprint LG G2] rubenn93:
I CAN flash in ZVC ?:confused:
[Sprint LG G2] Agimax:
No, you would need the KitKat bootloader, ZVG Modem. I haven't tested on anything except Factory ZVG (Rooted & AutoRec). It should work with ZVD/ZVE if they have KitKat Bootloader & Flash the ZVG Modem, but this has yet to be confimed by testers.

I'm thinking of making a flash for putting factory aboot, modem & laf partitions in place for those on older firmware, but it would only work with the G2s with the LGD screen (not JDI).
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
You would need to update your aboot. As twrp from KitKat auto-rec put you to jelly bean boot loader.

You might be able to put lollipop auto-rec on to change your aboot to KitKat and go to recovery and flash rom and modem. But that is iffy, and may not work. But you could try.
[Sprint LG G2] rubenn93:
then I have to be in ZVG and then rot and use AUTOREC ? (I've seen who have the problem of EFS is that true?:confused:
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
Efs, you should always have a backup somewhere. I always backup my efs when I do make one. And I have a separate efs backup on my computer.
[Sprint LG G2] Agimax:
I haven't seen the EFS issues, but TWRP gives you option to back-up. I always do that first thing when I get a new phone and copy it to a Laptop/PC. I've only had an issue back on the original LG G phone when I flashed a ported ROM and had to restore. Never happened yet on my G2 and I'm a flashaholic, though never flashed a ported ROM on G2 yet either.

* LOl secret.animal beat me to it!
[Sprint LG G2] rubenn93:
Thanks , I will recognize my sim card ? I have movistar
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
You may have to wait until he puts the Sim unlock feature or they steady the zvg mod for it.
[Sprint LG G2] rubenn93:
ohh that bad then I can not flash . :( Then I have to wait to take the rom that recognizes any sim, as the rom cloudy .

wait for now . thanks !!
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
[MENTION=2158849]Agimax[/MENTION] said he was building a customized version in which he would put that in.

Zvg is still new... Just time.
[Sprint LG G2] puch0021:
What am I doing wrong? I've been away from a while and trying to figure out how to do this correctly. I'm starting completely from scratch, either ZVC or ZVE TOT.

TOT to ZVE -> use update.zip with ADB to ZVG Lollipop -> Use one click for Root -> use Auto Rec ... -> flash Ultra

I am fine after rooting, however, after Autorec, I am always met with "Security Error" during the boot that prevents me from going any farther. Any thoughts? I was playing with stock lollipop but after seeing the bloat, I'd love to try Ultra.
[Sprint LG G2] Agimax:
Is it rebooting fine after using autorec?
[Sprint LG G2] scottdanpor:
I'll throw in another vote for sim unlock. :fingers-crossed:
[Sprint LG G2] rubenn93:
I too, as are two!! :highfive:
[Sprint LG G2] scottdanpor:
rubenn93, you can only vote once!
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
Which auto-rec are you using? KitKat or lollipop. It sounds like you are using KitKat auto-rec which would give you errors.

Make sure you are using the right one.
[Sprint LG G2] Agimax:
OOps, i was linking to the AutoRec for KitKat in the OP. Sorry, i'll get the link pointing to the Lollipop AutoRec Link.....:o

Good to go now.... Sorry I didn't think of checking that. I had the auto-rec already

Lol no worries :) I figured that was the case but I couldn't find anything in the link to say it wasn't Lollipop.
[Sprint LG G2] scottdanpor:
With ultra version settings force closes when selecting text to speech in the menu. I have my own text to speech engine but I am unable to set it.

Edit: got it working by restoring LGTTSPAService from the OTA zip.
[Sprint LG G2] LordLugard:
ZVD/ZVE???:

If someone would like to test, in theory this should be flashable from a stock KitKat ROM / Recovery with a Unlocked KitKat Bootloader as long as you flash the ZVG Radio (Modem) below.

Well i decided to be the guinea pig.

On ZVE, flashed this as well as the ZVG radio. Only boots to the LG logo and then a blank/black screen. No bueno.

Restored back my nandroid.
[Sprint LG G2] halfdeaf:
Can you upload the file? I don't have that update.zip with me ;)
[Sprint LG G2] scottdanpor:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/kxbc2v2hkfl932x/LGTTSPAService.zip?dl=0

It goes in system>priv-apps. I restored Google tts as well but I'm not sure you need that.
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
[MENTION=952751]LordLugard[/MENTION] long time no see... So you had TWRP recovery on an unlocked KitKat bootloader. I'm trying to figure out how that would happen.

Not saying it isn't possible.
[Sprint LG G2] LordLugard:
TWRP 2.8.6.1 to be specific.
[Sprint LG G2] Agimax:
Thanks, I have fixed this in Ultra2, I will have it uploaded later tonight. GoogleTTS can be downloaded from the PlayStore.
[Sprint LG G2] Agimax:
Thanks for trying, when I have time I'm going to make a flashable zip for Lollipop and a flashable zip for KitKat with the needed boot files, so we can quickly switch versions by flashing one of them before a ROM flash.

To help you out some more, how did you get there, with a KitKat boot loader? Maybe I can try replicating it.
[Sprint LG G2] Agimax:
Thanks, It appears this goes to Lollipop, but I don't see one to get back to KitKat. If I can make both, then we can change at-will. just by flashing either one before flashing ROM. :)
[Sprint LG G2] bender_007:
Or..including with the rom so the user doesn't have to think about it
[Sprint LG G2] Agimax:
Quick update, I have cut the Ultra ROM down even more, unlocked tethering, changed launchers and several system apps, added audio boost values and boosted camera quality. I still need to add init.d support, then I can add the SDCARD tweaks & Kernel / MM related tweaks. I have yet to see a stable/viable Sim Card unlock for ZVG (Too many unknown changes/issues for unlock for now). I will keep an eye on the sim card unlock thread frequently. Thanks to @scottdanpor, he has generously posted needed changes for sim unlock, I will get this added to the custom version! :)

The new name for the customized ROM will be UltraPOP.

If anyone want's to help make a boot animation, let me know. My time is very limited for now and would be a great help.
[Sprint LG G2] Agimax:
I thought about that too, but seems kinda dangerous to always flash aboot, boot and laf - can easily soft-brick a device if a user flashes wrong one or something goes wrong. For users that just flash between Lollipop builds (I know they are scarce now, but I'm sure time will bring more variety) this would be unnecessary risk.

It would also mean we would have to include the same type file partitions in KitKat ROMS too, and as of now I don't know of any that currently do.

I should make a vote to see how everyone feels though, if it's what everyone wants, then I will do it.

EDIT:

There Is Now A VOTING Option On Main Page
[Sprint LG G2] bender_007:
Or make it aromatized so they can choose :)
[Sprint LG G2] LordLugard:
Do you mean, how did I install 2.8.6.1? I just flashed it from 2.7.x.x.
[Sprint LG G2] scottdanpor:
I have unlocked your build. Here are the files you need: Edit link removed, guess it still doesn't work for some
[Sprint LG G2] berz:
Flashing this rom as soon as sim unlock is integrated :D
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
OK so that means you were on KitKat auto-rec which puts you in jelly bean boot loader. Which is the answer that I now forgot the question.

I will edit in a bit

Edit

Yes, then we have to fix the aboot, laf, and kernel from zve base.

Question is, can lollipop auto-rec be used when in zve to flash a zvg ROM with a radio.

Hmm
[Sprint LG G2] halfdeaf:
Fast and smooth between removing unwanted options from menu would be nice..

Like the connection optimizer,unlock device etc..

Any way thank you.. :)
[Sprint LG G2] LordLugard:
You are correct.
[Sprint LG G2] etd:
Ultrapop sounds great! I am on ultra and i like it alot, i hate all the extra crap. I only miss the stock weather widget and the stock music player/widget. Nice job though, i look forward to ultra pop.
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
You mean the 1 weather app, you should be able to find it in play store.

Running ultra zvg..
[Sprint LG G2] Agimax:
My favorite is 'Weather Live' from the playstore, best weather app with live radar and awesome widgets very similar to the LG 1weather. Even has a live weather scrolling LWP that is easy on the battery. UltraPop will have a different launcher so most LG widgets will be removed due to incompatibility outside stock. I have always run the same setup I am going to use in UltraPop and it's super fast and efficient with a lot of goodies.

I am going to keep this thread with clean stock versions (with nothing added, only stuff removed). All customization ROMS will be in another thread, and will have incremental versions -so I can release as I progress (so nobody has to wait). I am only going to fix Ultra and re-upload to fix the LGTTS issue tonight. If somebody wants some of the stock apps, they can just copy from stock. If needed I can upload a complete zip of factory system apps to make it easier.
[Sprint LG G2] agentfusion:
So, let's say I'm running CM11, but I have all of the radios for all of the versions... Can I flash this with the ZVG radio? I'm getting tired of custom roms and just want stock, rooted ZVG without having to use a computer to flash the whole phone back to stock then take the OTAs and root. I'd rather just download and flash.
[Sprint LG G2] Agimax:
Unfortunately not, this uses KitKat boot partitions, cm11 uses JB. I'm gonna work on a flash for converting to ZVG boot partitions, but haven't yet. You might try this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3096561

I hope to have a flash for conversion soon.

I am on a ZVC rom, can I just flash this or do i need to go to zvd and e then this? Thank you !:D
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
I think I'm going to do a couple tests tomorrow. I'm going to try flipping from zvg to jellybean boot loaders with zv8 radio to install a cm12 based ROM. And vice versa. By using the auto-rec and modems. But that will be tomorrow.
[Sprint LG G2] Irazor73:
Just a quick question if you don't mind.

UltraPop size has gone from some what 700MB to 900MB even bigger then light ?

And thanks for sharing this rom, mostly all the developers have left.
[Sprint LG G2] rubenn93:
Hello , since my stays in the LG logo and nothing more there , I waited 20 minutes and nothing. I have flashed to ZVG_ULTRA being in ZVG !:eek::(
[Sprint LG G2] Irazor73:
Which twrp were you on?
[Sprint LG G2] rubenn93:
For in the TWRP installing AUTOREC LOLLIPOP!!
[Sprint LG G2] Irazor73:
You need to be in kitkat bootloader i don't think you are on that one
[Sprint LG G2] rubenn93:
I was in ZVG I have rooted and have used the AUTOREC Lollipop!:(
[Sprint LG G2] Irazor73:
which rom you were previously on?
[Sprint LG G2] tipzilla:
I tried that and it didn't work. ZVC uses the jellybean bootloader, therefore it's going to be a no go if you try and flash this without upgrading your bootloader to kitkat first which ZVD and ZVE use. [MENTION=2158849]Agimax[/MENTION] posted a link a few pages back to a link to a possible upgrade from jellybean bootloader to kitkat bootloader, though no one seems to have tried it yet. Or at least reported the results. I will try tonight after work.
[Sprint LG G2] Agimax:
I have re-downloaded and successfully flashed the ZVG Ultra ROM in the OP (The Fixed Version). Even though it is much larger, It installs fine, I forgot to fully compress it before assembly, but no worries - it will take up the same amount of space on your phone when uncompressed during install. I will re-compress it when I get home tonight.
[Sprint LG G2] Agimax:
I would start over with ZVE TOT, sideload the ZVG Update, Root, Install AutoRec (The Link From The 1st Page - do NOT use the AutoRec KitKat version!), Reboot to verify it all worked, backup your ZVG then flash Ultra again. Make sure to format/erase your System, Data, Cache before flashing the ROM. I have re-verified the ROM in the link works fine, it takes 5-10 minutes to bootup from the LG Screen.
[Sprint LG G2] berz:
Does the rom have sim unlock yet ?
[Sprint LG G2] Agimax:
Will be in the Customized UltraPOP ROM, not finished yet.
[Sprint LG G2] wallyw:
It might be my imagination but it doesn't seem to charge as quickly. Is there any chance something that was stripped out removed quick charging (does g2 even have this?)

Otherwise this is perfect. I was about to switch back to KK because I was sick of the lollopop lg/sprint bloat. Thanks for doing this!
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
That would be all kernel issues. Being stock kernel makes it sad. They are waiting for a few kennel makers to maybe get some stock based kennel lollipop out. Which will fix battery life and charging.
[Sprint LG G2] agentfusion:
Thanks for the quick answer, brother.

I switched to OptimusG3 on ZVC for the time being until I can jump from ZVC to ZVG without needing to backup my entire device and tot to ZVD/E.

Thanks for all the work involved in this project. LS980 doesn't get a whole lot of love anymore. I'm probably jumping to G4 when the price comes down a bit since I'll have an upgrade ready by then.
[Sprint LG G2] berz:
Sounds awesome gonna flash this as soon as thats in :D

Also question when i flash im already on lolipop stock, so i just flash auto rec and wipe and flash this rom ?
[Sprint LG G2] Agimax:
Yep, Root Stock Lollipop, Run AutoRec (For Lollipop Not the KitKat version), reboot, backup your current setup, then flash the UltraPop.
[Sprint LG G2] Agimax:
Update:

I have the UltraPOP ROM V1.0 almost complete with everything done, have been running it all day. I don't have a custom boot animation yet (would love a volunteer). I will release two versions, one with the SIM Unlock for testing and one with everything else. I hope to have it done in the next few days/weekend.
[Sprint LG G2] puch0021:
Would it be possible to dirty flash over the stock ultra rom? Just got done setting it all up haha
[Sprint LG G2] Agimax:
Probably, but it is cut and refined so much more tweaks and enhancements, you might want to start fresh. Also, UltraPop will not have the stock launcher. For now I'm including GoogleLauncher for the cleanest experience. I originally had KitKat Launcher (my favorite) which is so much better and faster, but most of you won't have the pro version and probably complain. I just couldn't deal with the stock launcher delays and lags.
