Just spent hours trying to make a custom CWM recovery image in Ubuntu 14.04 following the guide below but didn't have much luck. May try again at the weekend. If anyone else wants to have a go i have attached recovery and boot images ;)

On my KDFIRE Soho is the bootloader Locked and Stock recovery. But you can Flash Roms with the Stock Recovery. There is something with the signature. But only custom Roms based on FireOS Are Working. The FireOS Statusbar is my Personal Nightmare

here's something you should consider.. make a single byte modification to the original bootloader and see if it boots.. if it does.. then we're clear.. if not we're ****ed.. if we're ****ed, then we need to deal with the procedure authenticating (and probably hashing) the recovery.. the bootloader.. or hashcode's hijack it is...
[Amazon Fire Phone] madushan1000:
So did anyone tried this? It's very easy to do.

Pull your recovery image

adb shell
su
cat /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery > /sdcard/recovery.img
exit
adb pull /sdcard/recovery.img .

then open it up in a hex editor (hdx - windows/ vi - linux) and change a useless byte (probably at the end of the file) or unpack/repack the image using unmkbbotimg/mkbootimg. Then push it back

adb push recovery.img /sdcard/recovery-new.img
adb shell
su
cat /sdcard/recovery-new.img /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
exit

Then try rebooting to your recovery

adb reboot recovery

If it works, We might be able to replace stock recovery with a custom built CWM recovery or something since we have the kernel source available. As it seems in update-script, recovery has access to everything weather bootloader is unlocked or not. If you can't modify recovery image yourself, post it here. I'll modify it for you.
[Amazon Fire Phone] thoughtlesskyle:
so this works i just tested it, I used the method you posted about changed the last bit with the hex editor, changed the last octet from 00 to 01, used flashify to flash the recovery

Heres the link to the recovery I modded if you want to test/verify:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw62MrywuCbwNUZ3Sm05b3FBMGM/view?usp=sharing
[Amazon Fire Phone] madushan1000:
You changed a bit at the end of the image right? Then that doesn't make any difference. Sorry I was misleading the last time. I didn't know any better myself then. Recovery partition doesn't contain the recovery image in its entirety. There is extra space. What bootloader does is, it reads the image Heder from the first few bytes of the partition, header contains the length of the recovery image. Then the bootloader verify that length of the recovery partition against some encrypted hash. So to check if this really works (My bet is it doesn't) we have to change a bit inside the length of the recovery image. The easiest thing to do is, unpack and repack the recovery image. I'll give it a try later and post the results.
[Amazon Fire Phone] thoughtlesskyle:
Yeah i changed the one at the end, hopefully your testing does work, the way you explained it did make sense
[Amazon Fire Phone] madushan1000:
This is a no-go, I unpacked and repacked the stock recovery with bootimg-tools (so that it would have no signature information) and flashed it on to recovery partition. The device hangs on Amazon logo when I reboot to recovery. We need to find a way to unlock the bootloader

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Favorite rom is a matter of preference. I've tried most of the roms that are still updated and they pretty much all offer the same features.

If you want customizability go for AICP or Resurrection Remix.

CM12 is finnished. So you might try that one out too, if you want a final build.

CM12.1 is suspended for an undefined time.

GPE rom seemed to be the most stable.

There was some guy (or girl maybe) who ported the HTC apps to other devices, including blinkfeed. I don't know how well it works, though.

Here's a link. You can also google it if you want.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] one-option:
Hi All:

If they deal with me as fear as they deal with Galaxy S6 / 6 Edge owners I wouldn't complain and I will wait patiently for the update to come, where Galaxy S6 / 6 Edge are getting nearly weekly updates and issue fix and nothing for other smartphones.

the problem for the Note 4 updates that they have to wait double time to make it compatible with the Gear VR !!!!!!

So Samsung think it is not a problem to let the majority of the Note 4 owners angry with Software full of bugs, to satisfy the few Gear VR kids.

I believe that we should push Samsung to change that miserable update policy and not to link Note 4 updates to Gear VR or anything else.

Samsung should deal with smartphones updates in equal way, they should understand that if I bought a Samsung device that will not be the end of the story and they can put me on hold as much as they wish.

Samsung should hear the voice of the people, and they should know the number of unsatisfied owners of Samsung smartphones (Note 4, Note 3 & Galaxy S5.....ect.

I think the way to go is by using social media , twitter & Facebook pages in different languages, to let Samsung & the future customers for Samsung to know that we are facing issues with Samsung software update policy, where they ignore their smartphone software after short time
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ashatar:
Samsung doesn't really care about their customers...besides there aren't many people like us on XDA where we wait for the latest and greatest update.I wish they changed over these past years but they didn't.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ixon2001:
Posting on social media won't make one single bit of difference they will not update the phone any quicker than they do now, one of the main reasons it takes longer to update the Note 4 is because there is alot more stuff within Touchwiz on the Note series than there is on the S series this takes longer to test and debug before they release it to the public unfortunately.

The S6 is brand new and with it being brand new it came with alot of critical bugs that need to be fixed asap, hence why your seeing more updates for the S6.

The Note 4 will get the updates it still a flagship you just have to be patient, if your not happy with Lollipop then switch back to Kitkat which was alot more stable and bug free than Lollipop currently is until the time comes they release 5.1 or 5.1.1.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylerdurden83:
Dear friends,

I just bought this fantastic phone that can be found for a bargain price these days!

I have a singular issue with the home launcher. It keeps showing unread badge counts for Facebook and Facebook Messenger, even though I have entered both apps and removed the notifications from them.

I also went into Settings -> Apps -> scrolled to both, and removed the notification check from the same panel where you can also clear their data or uninstall them.

Note that the home stock launcher doesn't put said badges for other apps like whatsapp.

How can the home launcher still find out that there are new messages when every notification has been removed from those apps?

Can I stop those badges from displaying?

Thank you so much, and have a nice day!

Roby
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylerdurden83:
Noone knows how to remove them? :(
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thundermouse:
Maybe a bit late response but I removed them by clearing cache and data of Home application in Settings->General->Apps->Home and reboot afterwards.

It changed a few icons on my desktop to standard icon images though... nothing to worry about, just remove them and create new.
[G3 General] mohsin.android:
Hello to All

I am creating this thread because I can't find a thread on XDA dedicated to G3's Korean version F400S/L/K and I think it's worth having a dedicated thread.

Here are some goals I would like us to achieve on this thread

1 Gather information about the Customs ROMs/Kernel/MODs for F400 variant scattered around on XDA or any other forum like Lgviet etc.

2 Share your experience with the ROMs you tried on F400.

3 Try to find out a stable ROM for F400 by sharing your experience.

4. Share you experience with different experiments you did on your F400 e.g trying a ROM not intended for Korean G3.

etc etc etc

Please go on and share your thoughts :) :)
[G3 General] mohsin.android:
I have personally used these ROMs on F400L

Cloudy 2.2

CM 12 and CM 12.1

Resurrection Remix LP

BlissPop 2.0 and 3.2

In my experience I found Blisspop have most customization options in particular the capability to change screen dpi. On other AOSP based the font appears to be too small for me.

Another noticeable thing is that you have the option to change animation level to .75 which I think is not available in other custom ROMKs.

About performance, this ROM runs very smooth because default animation scale is set to .75.

ROM has awesome stand by battery timing but currently I'm only getting 3 to 3.5 hours of screen on time.
[G3 General] anmolkakkar:
I had a small Question/Doubt

I recently purchased LG G3 F400K from ebay in India.

Was wondering if i can install the stock D855 (International Version) Stock ROM on this?

[NOOB Question] What could i gain/loose possibly?

Also, How can i make the Korean fonts at some places to appear in english/ How can i make the ROM appear FULLY in english (everything in Eng)?

Thanks in advance.
[G3 General] osa993ma:
i have F400s version ....

i am on cloudyg3 2.2 for now ...

i tried blisspop, cm12 , Resurrection remix ...

and all working v.good for me ...

.....

in recent weeks i tried dualboot patcher ... and i installed AOSP rom beside my primary rom (cloudyg3) ... and it was very good ...

be careful with flashing any rom that is not listed for out korean version (self opinion) ...

if you have a question ask me ... :)

.....

but ... :P

i have a question : how can i reach recovery mode without app nor ADB ... ( like using vol. down + power key in D855 versions ) ??

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------

flash a custom ROM like "cloudyg3 2.2" it is such a great rom with fully english support ...
[G3 General] mohsin.android:
I will recommend you to use cloudy ROM. It will solve all the problems you are having with Korean stuff and this ROM is based on stock G3 ROM.

But before doing this you have to root your G3.

If you try to flash D855 ROM on your Korean model you will end up probably with no signal, Wifi and Bluetooth will not work. You can even end up soft bricking your device.
[G3 General] mohsin.android:
Well I'm also tried numerous times to enter recovery using Hardware keys but no luck till now.
[G3 General] anmolkakkar:
Quick Question,

Since i am new with G3 :) (Although I have Xperia Z1 Compact and Nexus 6), I searched for the Root methods and got surprised to see so many. Could you please provide me the link to the rooting method which worked for you guys for F400K.

Also, For updating to Cloudy G3 2.2, is it ok to root on kitkat rom (stock which came out of the box), install TWRP, take full backup and then install? :confused:

Or should i install Stock Korean Lollipop firmware first? (If yes, request you to please point me to that as well, sorry for being demanding though) :(
[G3 General] t2pham:
To enter recovery mode, you have to press vol.down + powerkey. When the LG logo appears, quickly press vol.down + vol.up. Before you do, make sure the power is shutdown completely (by remove battery). And note that you need to do very quick it very quick. I often success in one third of time.

---------- Post added at 03:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 AM ----------

I use this for rooting: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951

And yes, you can upgrade straight from kitkat rom. Btw, I'm not responsible if you brick your device or your girl friend broke up with you because you destroy her phone.
[G3 General] anmolkakkar:
Thanks a lot :). That made my life a lot easier.

Another thing i had in mind is, can we use system.img from the D855 (International version) and mix with "Radio.img and boot.img" of our F400K version's, so that it is completely stock and it boots up fine with Radios also working well? :confused:
[G3 General] mohsin.android:
Theoretically it seems correct but this won't work.

You will still face problems with Radio.

I tried the same with AOSP rom but it didn't work
[G3 General] anmolkakkar:
If we've spent so much, we can try, u never know - maybe its worth the try :)

But, for that, what files will we need and from where? And how do we de-compile/re-compile

[G3 General] ishanbhatnagr96:
Hi.

I've had the g3 for about 2 weeks now and I'm loving every bit of it. I've had a few questions regarding mine.

My device is F400s running v20f (lollipop) and I've been thinking of flashing cloudyG3 on it. The procedure would be this right,

1. Backup internal storage

2. Flash .tot of v10e (KitKat)

3. Root it using purpledrake

4. Flash twrp

5. Flash cloudyG3

Now what I don't know is, how do I flash twrp and how to enter recovery mode? By pressing power+vol down button nothing happens.

Thank you.

PS: sorry for being a noob. Never used an lg device before.
[G3 General] osa993ma:
1- you can flash TWRP using twrp manager app (you must be have root)

2-if you want to get in recovery mode press vol. down + power key till you see LG logo then press ((((vol down+ vol. up))) " but use this step after intalling TWRP ...

note : you can root your mobile using 'towelroot.apk" good and easy one

if you have any other question just ask :) :) :)

I tried that , but I am not able to factory reset my phone , since it requires to disable XOLO SECURE first , which I cannot .

Is there any other way ???:confused:
[General Questions and Answers] hitman-xda:
Your phone must be having stock recovery. Try using that.

To enter into recovery follow below steps;

1.Power off your device and wait 4-5 seconds after lights go off.

2.Press and hold Power + Volume UP button together for a few seconds and then release the buttons as soon as you see the recovery screen.

- If the above method doesn't work,

Press and hold Power + Volume UP+ Volume DOWN button together.

In recovery, use Volume Up and Down keys to navigate between options and Power key to select an option.

You'll see factory reset option there, just do it and restart your phone.

Bingo! Your done

As many of you may know, at&t verizon and the whole lot decided it'd be a great idea to delete apps like smart manager and preload their own bloatware. I see people on youtube from android authority and phone arena and such making first looks and tips&tricks videos and their phones seem like international unlocked versions.

I'm wondering if anyone here knows where I could go about purchasing one? I tried amazon but it came in yesterday and it was clearly fake so I shipped it back. If amazon is my only option, or ebay, do any of you know like...legitimate sellers/merchants from those sites that I can buy from? I really don't want to get it and return it again over and over. It's a hassle.

Check out Never MSRP that's where I bought a SM-G925F Global phone from. I recently switched to an international phone (SM-G920I). Both work on GSM networks like AT&T and T-Mobile. You just have to choose which specific radio bands is right for you. Also note that some are saying the I/F phones aren't carrier aggregated or fine tuned for major US carriers so your LTE speeds may not be quite on par as carrier specific devices. But for me my SM-G920I works great on T-Mobile. Anyhow there are other sellers out there but Never MSRP where very helpful with returns and fast with shipping.

Had to remove all the links you included or it wouldn't let me reply/quote you. Anyways, I looked around and found out that the i version is for latam and this is what I found:

Also known as Samsung Galaxy S6 edge SM-G925

Available versions: SM-G9250 (China, HK), SM-G925A (AT&T), SM-G925F (Global), SM-G925FQ (Turkey), SM-G925I (LATAM, Singapore, India, Australia), SM-G925K (Korea), SM-G925L, SM-G925S (Korea), SM-G925T (T-Mobile)

It says that the i is latam, singapore and so on but you say that it's working well? How are your 4g speeds and stuff? Also what phone is the g920i that you're using and is there a particular reason you switched FROM the g925f global one? Because to me, it'd make more sense to have one that's global rather than one that's supposedly for latam/sing etc. Idk I'm very inexperienced with this stuff.
