Recovery

Can I install recovery into this ROM
[Xperia Z General] xdaorxan:
Please answer my question.I have locked bootloader.Need i unlock bootloader for installing hodor kernel? And need i install custom kernel before installing this rom?
[Xperia Z General] asakurato:
Yes, you need to unlock to install hodor kernel. And no, you don't need custom kernel to flash this, just be on stock 4.4.4 rooted with CWM recovery.
[Xperia Z General] xdaorxan:
Yes, i have stock rooted 4.4.4 but not with cwm recovery.If i install cwm recovery then can i flash this rom? And does it wipe all data?
[Xperia Z General] asakurato:
Install nuts dual recovery (search google), then you will be able to flash the rom. No it won't wipe the data, but it is advised to, just backup everything beforehand.

As I have read, nuts dual recovery is causing bootloop, so don't install any recovery until its fixed.
[Xperia Z General] xdaorxan:
you mean that i need to install xz dual recovery? And then i need to install cwm again?
[Xperia Z General] bluewr:
So, does this work with locked bootloader?

And which versoin of CWM should I install and use?
[Xperia Z General] asakurato:
No, xz dualrecovery includes Philz touch(cwm based), regular cwm (which both are good to flash) and twrp.

Yes, this works on locked bootloader. Just install latest xzdualrecovery.
[Xperia Z General] spyfly:
1. Can I flash this over eXistenZ Ultimate 3.5.5? Its the lastest 4.4.4 Version with some tweaks.

2. What recovery is recommend to use? I have currently XZ Dual Recovery on locked BL installed, can I install it after flashing this rom too?
[Xperia Z General] dave_id:
I just did it over exiztenz , and only wiped cache and dalvik , so go ahead it works!

(used philz touch recovery)
[Xperia Z General] spyfly:
Thanks, can I install XZ Dual Recovery over Lollipop?
[Xperia Z General] dave_id:
thanks a lot, it works like a charm!

only problem is that it says I can't connect to google play services...

(I've installed it over Exiztenz 3.5.5)

what did i do wrong?
[Xperia Z General] spyfly:
Try to reset the Google Play Service Data and Reinstall it.
[Xperia Z General] xdaorxan:
I had this problem and it says that adb server killing..
[Xperia Z General] dave_id:
how do I do that?
[Xperia Z General] spyfly:
Go to Settings -> Applications and uninstall Google Play Services.

Did you got an Bootloop?
[Xperia Z General] dave_id:
thanks, at some point , it told me my phone was full and can't install the update!

fixed now
[Xperia Z General] asakurato:
Do not install XZ Dual recovery, it causes bootloop on lollipop (haven't checked myself).
[Xperia Z General] spyfly:
Any alternative recoverys?

---------- Post added at 08:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 PM ----------

Could I use this one: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/orig-development/locked-bootloader-cwm-recovery-6-0-2-8-t2187363
[Xperia Z General] asakurato:
Of course you can, I just recommend XZ Dualrecovery, because it's always updated and very fast and easy to install. Also you get 3 recoveries to use.
[Xperia Z General] dave_id:
sorry if this is off-topic but did someone managed to install xposed and gravitybox? I heard so many bootloop stories that I'm kinda lost there...
[Xperia Z General] spyfly:
Is XZ Dual Recovery working with this rom? I heard something about bootloops. What about Xposed too?

---------- Post added at 09:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------

One thing more:

There are sometimes problems when updating, you have to restart your device multiple times to load all applications.

Also my Phone is getting really hot, around 50°C.
[Xperia Z General] xdaorxan:
Finally I have updated my phone.But there are problems like 1.battery drain(when it charges)2.Have more lags than kitkat 3. And phone getting very hot
[Xperia Z General] KobySam87:
so if you are already on lollipop without root. you will need to revert back to stock with root before attempting to flash this ftf. Is that the idea?
[Xperia Z General] spyfly:
Battery Drain, Lags and the high temperature are caused by the old Snapdragon S4 Pro Processor. Lollipop has many animations, that needs lot of Computing Power. One way to fix this could be the change to another gouvenor like interactive, that one is more efficent but causes lag.

I'm running ondemand gouvenor, I have no lags but its still gettin really hot, measured using CPU-Z, Imternal Temperature around 80°C after heavy use and 48°C Battery Temperature.

---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 PM ----------

You have to go back to KitKat 4.4, Root it, install recovery and flash Lollipop ZIP.

---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------

I still want to know if anyone has already running a Custom Recovery on LB.
[Xperia Z General] asakurato:
I use lolipop for two days already. It has same (if not better) battery life, phone doesn't get hot without reason. So you need to wait until phone settles down. On normal use, its 35-38°C, highest I had was around 45 maybe. I never play games through.

[Xperia Z General] spyfly:
I changed my Gouvenor to interactive now. Lets see how it increases the battery life.
[Xperia Z General] asakurato:
I think I had interactive on kk (which was default). So it must be default now too.

My device is locked bootloader. Is it going to work.

---------- Post added at 01:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 AM ----------

I read the thread and it's for only UB. It looks like I'm going to wait for a while to be able to get recovery.
[Xperia Z General] emeemisri:
xposed needs recovery to install. i guess i just wait till working recovery is available for LB. honestly, i cant live without xposed
[Xperia Z General] KobySam87:
Sam here bro
[Xperia Z General] asakurato:
Yea, I'm waiting for updated recovery too.

Sent from my C6602
[Xperia Z General] KobySam87:
Oh mehn I feel incomplete without recovery and xposed framework.
[Xperia Z General] asakurato:
Strangely, before LP came out, I thought that would be the case for me too, but LP so captivated me, that I forgot about both recoveries and xposed :D So I can wait a bit longer for that.
[Xperia Z General] KobySam87:
Lollipop doesnt feel lollipop without xposed and recovery but I don't have much of a choice. I will wait as well.
[Xperia Z General] asakurato:
Well, even if you had recovery, what would you flash with it? There is hardly anything (I would say nothing) available to flash (no roms or mods). Also, many modules that I use, don't work on lolipop, let alone problems with Installer itself.
[Xperia Z General] Karun97:
Couldn't flash using TWRP . Installed CWM based Recovery and flashed successfully.

The phone restarted automatically in the first 3 boots at the BootAnimation.:crying:

Started successfully in the fourth Boot. :D

Ty :good:
[Xperia Z General] CosmicDan:
Nothing to flash? Irrelevant and false. There is recovery, those with UB can get a boot.IMG from dev forum with TWRP integrated. Xposed and Gravitybox work fine (apart from a few things e.g. custom quick settings tiles since Sony has customised that).

Another reason for insecure boot.img is to edit the wake_keys (or something like that) in keylayout on system to remove volume keys waking the device, and who knows what else. This along with gravitybox allows that "Hold volume to skip music tracks", a must-have for me and many others. Other things like date in status bar and arrow keys on navbar with IME open also work perfectly.

Anyway back on topic, is it just me or does WiFi randomly fail after extended uptime? I'm connected to a "5G" access point (802.11ac) so maybe its a bug there, will switch to 802.11n.

I highly recommend FTF flashing for those with issues, does the ZIP package even update all partitions? Dunno. Regardless, that's the safe way. I excluded TA but I dunno what that's for, just read its a good idea to skip TA.

Hi

C6603 version is not flashing. Not flashing both TWRP and CWM recovery.. Downloaded rom 4 times... :o
[Xperia Z General] KobySam87:
I had similar problem..I finally flashed it using flashtool.
[Xperia Z General] asakurato:
Well. I have locked bootloader, as many of us here. Also, zip should update all partitions and TA partition is excluded. Also, never had issue with wifi.

Well, I haven't tested C6603, so I can't say much here.

Hi

Not a big problem my friend. Actually my brother tried it and reported to me. I did not tried it yet.. Well better remove the links from the OP for saving some poor peoples time and money.. ;) Just a suggestion only...
[Xperia Z General] Chronic2k13:
Is this rom for lb or ub??
[Xperia Z General] hemanthsai10:
Flashed :)

After trying to download from mega and failing and later thanks for google drive upload which i downloaded :)

and first i tried to flash normally through twrp when i was on RR rom and no progress but later i read many comments and saw that i need to be on 4.4 and then i flashed existenz which i had readily earlier and then flashed that and immediately this

But the install was successful this time but to my bad the phone kept on rebooting for every 2-3 minutes not a bootloop i get normal usage but yet reboots for every 2-3 minutes and tried multiple ways to fix but nothing helped later i though to flash some other rom and then again this but i thought of giving a try to factory reset and after that it worked now on ROM

And coming to the usage i faced a huge battery drain espec during im on with Wifi and during charging its getting too hot .But later justkept on ultra stamina mode during charging and yes now itsperfect during charging unless im on wiifi im not facing any much drain and the only prob is heating but hope that too resolves soon hope to find an update

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 PM ----------

[Xperia Z General] babarnazmi:
Is there is any version for C6606/C6616 pre rooted?

Can't Root yet, KingRoot 4.1 is rooting the device, but can't uninstall it later and replace it with SuperSu :(

Thanks,
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
You can easily create one for yourself.

Download a FTF for your device or create one using part 2 of my guide and make a prerooted rom with PRFCreator.
[Xperia Z General] enrajanenr:
it works great

You r great. it works perfectly , i flashed it using xzdualrecovery (philz touch). it works without any problem. thanks.
[Xperia Z General] babarnazmi:
Thanks Sir, now my question is, it will give me root? if I create flashable zip with PRFCreator (rename zip to .ftf?) and flash it with flashtool?

Regards,
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Yes, it will be rooted, but you can't flash zips with Flashtool. You'll need to downgrade to an earlier firmware version, root, install XZDualRecovery and use that to flash the zip.
[Xperia Z General] babarnazmi:
[MENTION=2452820]kingvortex[/MENTION] Sir,

:) that was my question, I asked for prerooted 10.6.A.0.454 ftf image so I can flash it ;)

I will lost root when I upgrade? No? do you mean after installing dualrecovery I can root it without any problem?

Sorry for asking too many questions :) newbie here
[Xperia Z General] xdaorxan:
I installed xzdualrecovery.Then i flash lollipop in twrp.But i have problems with battery and overheating issue. What is the best ways to solve it?
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
There are no prerooted FTFs as isn't possible to make them. FTFs can contain stock unmodified firmware only.

You should flash an older rootable firmware with Flashtool, root it, install XZDualRecovery and use that to flash a prerooted 10.6.A.0.454 zip.
[Xperia Z General] xdaorxan:
kingvortex,

Can i reinstall this prerooted lollipop again (with recovery)?
[Xperia Z General] pomelowu:
flashed successfully, but cannot boot into system, endless loop at the opening animation...

what should I do next?
[G4 General] wargreymon89:
We were missing a dedicated thread for discussing battery life, maybe due to the fact that not many have the phone yet.

I test LG phones and I put them through the same battery test with 3 topics, video playback, surfing and gaming at different screen brightness.

You can see the results here in Swedish, you can easily understand the numbers in the diagrams :p

Or you can read the whole article Google translated (turned out pretty good grammatically).

So post your battery results and discuss how to make it better (or worse)!
[G4 General] Phurkus:
this is somewhat disappointing. :(

thanks for the Post though OP, and i agree. i expect for the g4 threads on XDA to boom after its released on all major carriers. Ive been lurking here since day 1 (;

do you know about the stand by time? how long the battery can last when its not in use
[G4 General] wargreymon89:
Ye, the battery time is much better than G3 if you do light usage, but as soon as you fire up some little heavier so the SoC has to work it plummets quickly.

The standby time is pretty good, several hours per %. But I did have some problem with Google Now wakelocks I think (hard to check without root), became better after uninstalling updates for Google Search and Google Play Services and then reinstalling.
[G4 General] Phurkus:
Damn i was really hopeing for a great battery on the g4 after the announcement of the 808 chip. im coming from a ****ty droid razr m that dies quickly after a day, with terrible stand-by time. But i guess as long as the g4 battery is better than my phone, its still an upgrade :o:o
[G4 General] wargreymon89:
So after a a full day of my normal usage yesterday, web browsing, simpler games, some minutes of phone call. I did test that chess program in the other thread that ate like 10+% of my battery pretty quickly.

I ended the day at like 19%, then I forgot to charge it over the night, and it was down to 11% when I woke 12 hours later (Yay weekend). Then I used it down to 3% (dont mind the 30% after charging a while). I do have something under Android-System that is using my GPS and is draining battery sometimes, not much, but still irritating. I tried turning off lots of stuff, but cant seem to find the culprit.
[G4 General] dondavis007:
Where did you get a G4 in Sweden?

Sent from a mobile gadget.
[G4 General] wargreymon89:
Im a LG Ambassador, so we get phones to test and spread our experience about them :D
[G4 General] xzfzx:
so you did you use lg g3 in the past?(or in other words what phone did you use before the g4)

and how is the battery life on the g4 compared to the phone you used to use =P

thank you...
[G4 General] Phurkus:
also intersted in hearing this. hope you can reply
[G4 General] wargreymon89:
I used G3 before G4 and G2 before that. G4 is better than G3 at light work like chatting, surfing, watching video, but gaming and when it stresses the SoC it becomes worse, even worse than G3. Some days ago I had 3:45 SoT at 3% when I had used the chess app in the other thread for a while. The day after I got 5 hours and 20% left because I had done mostly chatting and browsing.

The screen is almost as power efficient as G2 (which is awesome considering QHD and larger). But SD808 eats power like a fat kid eats candy.
[G4 General] xzfzx:
worse than g3 is not somtihng that i want to hear,i hope that software update can fix this....

and because you answered, and got to play with both devices what do you think about the display brightness and outdoor use?(compared to the G3)
[G4 General] wargreymon89:
At 0% its much darker than G3, at 100% its pretty much same as G3, not sure where that extra 25% brightness went really. I havent had any problem seeing the screen in the sun, not that I bring it up in direct sunlight much, also since I havent gotten it to overheat and lower brightness automatically, it should be a much better experience in the sun.
[G4 General] PunishedSnake:
Zerolemon for me then :(
[G4 General] savedR:
Thank you for this thread. This is all I needed to hear.

I have suffered through sub-2-hour screen on time on the G3 for a year now. I have done everything, turning off location, even getting the phone warranty replaced once, getting the Lollipop update, factory resetting yesterday. I have uninstalled apps, left them installed and Greenified. I have done some pretty in-depth testing with Gsam, Better Battery Stats, and the stock battery usage chart. I'm rooting my G3 right now just because I am scientifically curious what in the bleeding ****ing hell is eating my battery on this phone that I wiped yesterday. Yesterday.

I'm either going to Edge up to a Droid Turbo, like my wife has, since my Droid Maxx never did this, get an S6 Edge, or even just get a dumbphone I can make calls on and charge every 3 days, then get literally a Gpad or Nexus 8 or some smallish Android tablet with LTE.

After preordering the flagship phone last year, with more RAM and better specs than everything on the market, then suffering with charge-twice-a-day battery life for a year, I think smartphones have literally failed me, and I think I'm done.
[G4 General] D_Magic:
Better battery then i had on my s6
[G4 General] didi_ghost:
Seems good. What usage was that?
[G4 General] D_Magic:
Browsing internet, watching youtube, news apps, xda app, taking some picrures, playing simple games, whatsapp and e-mail

Around 60 to 70% brightness and wifi and 4g active and used both indoors and outdoors and when outdoors wifi still active and brightness at 100%

This i got another day
[G4 General] didi_ghost:
Seems impressive and going against what is being told around there.
[G4 General] xzfzx:
thats good news, do you happen to have greenify?
[G4 General] D_Magic:
No greenify, never used it and no power save modes

Just normal use

Note 4 i get 7 to 8 hours sot

Nexus 6 4 to 5 hours

Galaxy s6 4 to 5 hours

G4 5 to 6 hours

All same use nu greenify or power save modes
[G4 General] Antoxin:
I understand about bad signal level but even though I have one (which I don't) how's that possible that phone died after 1.56 sot? That's a joke!

I had a g2 that used to provide 5 hours sot at first, then after 2 years and lollipop update around 3 hours, which was a bit frustrating. But 2 hours on a new device???
[G4 General] didi_ghost:
On my first cicle i managed to get 4hours SoT with my usage. On my second cicle with the same usage, i reached 5hours 17mins SoT. My phone is now charging, let's see the third cicle.
[G4 General] liamR:
Don't you feel that Greenify disrupt the multitasking and make the device less smooth?
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
My first charge from 100% to 20% - 1 hour 56 min OST, 8 hours on charge........

Gonna start charging it now and see how it turns out. I do have sync on that probably needs to be adjusted.
[G4 General] DoctorB0NG:
Coming from a G2, I'm highly disappointed with the battery life on the G4.
[G4 General] nexy33:
I use it less battery life is pretty much a straight line drop to 0 over 7hrs averaging 2hrs soc and about 1hrs of calls 30 mins browsing on my ac router it connects at 420mbs,my galaxy s5 I get 25hrs on boe5 with 3-4 hrs soc and a couple of house calls and Bluetooth on to my gear watch it connects to my router at 920 mbs, I'm dreading to think how crap my battery will be when my urbane arrives, everything else in the g4 blows the s5 away but with the poor battery life is in the drawer til I they fix it or it Will end up being returned.
[G4 General] mtva24:
So far, not great. Max brightness, disabled a few apps.
[G4 General] LancerV:
Max brightness kill any phone
[G4 General] PunishedSnake:
I'm similar in setup but h811
[G4 General] bayniner:
Gotta say I'm disappointed with my battery life granted this was my first full charge I managed 13 hours with 3.5 SOT, hopping it will get better after another full charge
[G4 General] jeyd02:
It's just that battery technology are not catching up to silicon process development. Technical tech is going so fast.
[G4 General] stl-soldier:
Probably, but I don't include apps that I use often or don't want killed. And without root, there is no automatic kill, so if I want to keep the apps open, I just don't use the kill sequence.
[G4 General] Swizzle82:
Yes correct. Some apps you shouldn't greenify, but mainly those are the system apps. I have no problems multi-tasking with greenify woth or without root. When root is available some apps that will cause issues are chrome, youtube, playservices, etc.
[G4 General] liamR:
So far I'm getting about 5 hours SOT and 13 hours total (H815). Better than my S6E and G3.
[G4 General] Antoxin:
Ok, I turned GPS off, had all the LG bloat disabled including smart bulletin. Keep google now but without location based cards (which were very useful).

Now I have 2.15 sot with 43% battery left. This is acceptable but the point is why do I have to adjust all that on a high end device to make it through the day???
[G4 General] LancerV:
Just curious for people with bad battery life try going into 277634#*# from the dialer and disabling fast dormancy, I noticed on my TMobile one it said Status Unknow once I set it to disabled battery life improved a ton
[G4 General] didi_ghost:
I can't find Fast Dormancy on my H815 on that hidden menu..
[G4 General] LancerV:
Yeah for some reason it doesnt show up on the H815
[G4 General] didi_ghost:
I've found it:

Field Test > Modem Settings > PDP Setting > (0) Set LG Fast Dormancy . Press on it, and chose ON or OFF.
[G4 General] :
I am losing about 5% battery an hour (only have 20 minutes of screen on time). Their are no apps showing up in battery status that are draining battery...This is the Verizon variant...Any ideas?
[G4 General] predator21:
How are you getting that..see my usage

Am i doing smthng wrong??
[G4 General] GiancarloMorr24:
LancerV,

Does tmobile not use Fast Dormancy? I cant seem to find an answer online.
[G4 General] Allesa:
Check first whether your carrier supports fast dormancy or not. Enabling fast dormancy on phone side while your carrier doesn't support it equals to battery drain.

Disabling it on my carrier (telkomsel indonesia) adds at least an hour sot.
[G4 General] jeyd02:
What is fast dormancy in the first place?
[G4 General] :
+1
[G4 General] LancerV:
I'm pretty sure it doesnt just the way the phone works
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
T-Mobile US supports Fast Dormancy. I would not recommend for any US TMO users to do this.
[G4 General] GiancarloMorr24:
Thanks for the insight. Is it your rexommemdation that fast dormancy is enabled? Under the fast dormancy option on my TMobile LG G4, status is shoen as 'unknown.'
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
Yes, fast dormancy enables the phone to switch between LTE and 3/4G. If you're not actively using the data connection, there is no reason to leave it on LTE mode since it just eats up your battery.
[G4 General] GiancarloMorr24:
That's good to know. I wonder why the Fast Dormancy state was shown as unknown before I enabled it.
