Hello I'm using Moto G 2014(XT1068) . Few days ago I flashed CM12.1 on my device. Yesterday my device just got lagged and I had to switch it off to get it into working condition again. But when I turned it on the device was stuck at the boot loader and never went further ahead of it. When I asked my colleague about it he said that my boot loader just crashed and it won't turn up now. Today I flashed my phone with 4.4.4 and it turned on luckily. So I decided to see if I can root my device again and load CM in it when I did that my phone just got bricked and I had to flash it up using 4.4.4 and updating it to 5.0.2. Now I can't flash CM on my device..please help. Please help me with my boot loader issue

i wondered if any dev may be interested in helping port twrp to the new lg g stylo aka g4 stylus? id be happy to donate to the cause. the device can be rooted. http://xdaforums.com/general/general/lg-g-stylo-boost-mobile-t3113080/page2
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] AP2FTW:
this would be great...i just got the same phone but on metro pcs...we are trying to get a custom recovery for our g stylo too...although it does seem the metro/tmobile variant of this phone is slightly different spec wise...would that be an issue requiring 2 different ports of twrp?

edit i just found this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60913483&postcount=23 and he claims this will install twrp and root the phone...so i was wondering if that file he says to download is ok to use with the metropcs lg g stylo?
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] OldAzzNoob:
Following in structions on that link did root my metropcs lg stylo. The twrp however, did not work...

we just need to either unlock the boost bootloader or bump a TWRP recovery the right way to make it work on the locked bootloader
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Kolma:
Just noticed this on Bump website - http://apps.codefi.re/bump/

Is there anyone here that was actually close or tried to make a bump of TWRP for boost?
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
SuperR from android forums was helping me and he used the same bump method that he used on the warp sync, but it didn't work sadly
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] OldAzzNoob:
A couple weeks ago i said i rooted my metro lg stylo and the twrp didnt work. Well i decided to do a full unroot until there was more support. Now i came back to the forums, see theres a working twrp and decide to root my phone again, only now it wont root. The one-click root completes and says im rooted but when i use root checker it says NOT rooted. I open supersu and it says no binary installed.

I think maybe my stock recovery got jacked up when i originally rooted. What do you think? Ive completed the one click root at least 8 times. Phone still wont re-root
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
have you tried using the Metro KDZ file for your phone to go back to complete stock?
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] OldAzzNoob:
No i haven't. If you give me a little direction I will do that. I have to admit, I'm more familiar with fixing/unbricking/flashing back to stock on Samsung phones, with Odin and all. I'm still getting used to LG phones. I'd like to be VERY careful flashing anything on this Stylo. I'm becoming very attached, and $200 for a phone is a bit more than I'm used to spending. I'd hate to brick it.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] DrakenFX:
If you use the KDZ you wont be able to Root and Bootloader will be LOCK ... So just a warning if you decide to do it
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] OldAzzNoob:
Well thats no bueno. I want my phone rooted. I just cant understand why after the one-click root everything seems like it went fine... I even see the SuperSU app in my apps, but when i click it, it says "no SU binary installed"

Stumped
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] DrakenFX:
If you are still om LP 5.0.2 Try using SEND_COMMAND on Download mode to flash TWRP. Im not 100% sure of this process need to be rooted but i dont think so, when TWRP is flash you can flash SU and give it a shot... Im using my phone to post ill send full detail on how to do ot in a bit
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] OldAzzNoob:
I would sincerely appreciate that! As i said before, I'm still unfamiliar with how to flash on LG phones, right down to "how do you boot into download mode?" so detailed instructions would be appreciated.

And really... I appreciate it

(update)

Ok i figured out how to get to download mode, not too difficult. So i figured while i was hooked up to the computer I'd do some tinkering. I'm not android sdk literate so i didnt get far. I do, however, know enough to use some ADB commands and used ADB REBOOT RECOVERY just to see if my gut was right. I cant reboot recovery. I just get a toppled over android and message saying "no command".
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
adb doesn't seem to work with download mode cause if it did i wouldn't have a bricked phone right now lol but i am interested in how to send recovery to the device while in download mode cause i have the stock recovery and if i can boot into it then i can adb the correct file that i messed up my phone with
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] DrakenFX:
I was going to send him a PM but ill be posting the steps here ....

By the way you are boost right?

Ok for starters download this file LG Root File from this Thread

http://xdaforums.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772

Download and install drovers if you haven't done that yet, ill be posting step in a bit just download the files and have them ready.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] OldAzzNoob:
I am on a metropcs.

I just need good steps on how to properly flash twrp using the send_command in download mode, as you suggested. And i believe my stock recovery is no longer working...

Its for this reason i believe i cant re-root my phone right now. The binary is installed through recovery, correct?
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
From my understanding that is correct
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
just waiting on those send instructions.....
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] DrakenFX:
EDIT : Ok this Process to Flash Recovery (TWRP) is just for METRO PCS and T-MOBILE if you are on LP 5.0.2 , DON'T and i REPEAT DON'T try this if you are on Boost and if you have MetroPCS and T-Mobile OTA 5.1.1

ok here is what you can do and i mean [MENTION=5798441]OldAzzNoob[/MENTION] to flash TWRP via Download mode (Thank to [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] for this steps that help me out before)

Steps :

1- Go HERE if you haven't and download from Prerequisites step 1 and 2 (LG Root and LG Drivers [MENTION=1068642]Thank you[/MENTION] [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION])

"NOTE: skip Drivers if you have them install already"

2- CLICK HERE and download TWRP 2.8.7.0 [MENTION=1068642]Thank you[/MENTION] [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION]) once downloaded Decompress on your root directory of the SDCard and rename ir " recovery.img " without "

3- Decompress LG Root on Root C: drive for easy access.

4- Enable USB Debugging via Developer Option.(now ready for a test drive :D )

5- Open Command Prompt and go to where you Decompress the LG Root zip file (in my case is C:\LG_Root )

and Type

adb devices

after doing so it will show if your device is attach or not (see image)

NOTE : Don't close this command prompt window

6- Nice! Device been detected and ready for some more fun :D

7- lets go to Download Mode ( click here if you don't know how to )

8- ok now having the Command Prompt window open lets type and press enter

ports.bat

it will show the ports our phone is using but we are going to use just 1 and is REG_SZ

9- Now that we know what port we are going to be using lets flash this little fella and i mean TWRP image

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FLASHING RECOVERY VIA DOWNLOAD MODE

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1- Now is time to run Send_Command (NOTE : make sure your COM port number is the one YOUR phone is using this varies per device mine is COM9 yours maybe different or not)

1st.

Send_Command \\.\COM9

after typing that line it will show just # which mean you are doing great, now lets continue.

dd if=/storage/external_SD/recovery.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery

wait till # show back again after that is finish TWRP should be in place and you are ready to use it

you can just Type LEAVE or pull battery and try manually boot to Custom Recovery.

NOTE :

if everything when well i recommend going back to LG_Root using Command Prompt and type ADB DEVICES to check if device is connected after checking that out type ADB REBOOT RECOVERY to boot into recovery just to make sure it flashed correctly.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Kolma:
Not to burst your bubble but That model in the screenshot is for T-Mobile variant

Boost has a locked bootloader.

Boost model = LGLS770
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] DrakenFX:
yeah i know that, this was done mostly for [MENTION=5798441]OldAzzNoob[/MENTION] he have Metro which is same steps as Tmo and [MENTION=5104057]6th_Hokage[/MENTION] just needed to know how to flash recovery to have an idea how he can or able to fix his problem.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Kolma:
ah, ok.

Well here's hoping it does help us boost users.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] OldAzzNoob:
Thank you!! Those are very good instructions! I'm at work right now until late, but as soon as i get home tonight I'll try it and let you know how it went.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] DrakenFX:
well hope someone comes with the knowledge on how to get around that lock bootloader,

P.S. if you are on 5.0.2 and really want to stay Rootable i recommend not taken the OTA you wont be able to root after that.

No problema, let us know if work
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Kolma:
I kind of regret rooting already. I much rather be on 5.1.1

Not like I can use xposed anyways without a custom recovery since Lollipop.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] OldAzzNoob:
Ok. Ive tried it and it hasn't worked yet. But i have a couple questions... Maybe i did something wrong.

#1) the recovery.img goes on the root of my external_SD or the root of the emulated/0?

#2) when i typed ports.bat it showed 4 different REG_SZ. Which one of those do I pick for the right COM? Choices were COM4, COM3, COM13, COM14. I picked COM4 on the test run i did.

Everything ran smoothly until I typed in the " dd if=/storage/external_SD/recovery.img of=dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery "

When entering that command the # never came back... I waited like 15 minutes
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Yep I just need the stock recovery since I guess my brother decided that my desktop looked better without any files on it (he deleted them)
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] OldAzzNoob:
Why go stock? Dont they have a TWRP for your version phone?
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] DrakenFX:
1- the recovery image need to be on the root of your external_SD (sorry didn't clarified that earlier the recovery has to be on the Actual SD Card not the Emulated internal SDcard)

2- Use the one that say " \Device\LGVZANDNETDIAG1 " (first time i heard it shows more than 1).

try again and let us know :)
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
i have three copies of TWRP for the boost variant but the problem is that they won't work for the boost variant since the bump doesn't seem to go around the locked bootloader

---------- Post added at 03:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 PM ----------

yea i think i need the official firmware :/
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] OldAzzNoob:
Cool beans on the clarification. Have to work late again so I'll try it when i get home tonight.

I love the help i get on xda!!
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] OldAzzNoob:
Ok i just barely got back from work (had to drive to Arizona to fix a bus).

I followed your directions and TWRP installed instantly. As suggested, i adb reboot to recovery to double check and went right into TWRP. As i went to reboot system it asked if i wanted to install root binary, i clicked yes and boom... Im good to go. Rooted and custom recovery.

Thank you VERY much!!

(update)

I installed SuperSU into system and something went wrong. I keep getting a popup that says binary needs to be updated, i pick TWRP to do it through, and click ok but SuperSU never reboots phone into recovery mode to update the binary. Its like SuperSU lost root privileges. I can manually reboot recovery through adb and it goes to TWRP but thats it.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Update the "normal" way
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] OldAzzNoob:
I did and no problems since...

Thank you all.

How do you guys attempt to flash a recovery, from download mode or stock bootloader mode? Or do you do it from flashify once you've attained root?
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Those of us with a locked bootloader are forced to use flashify....while the onces that still have it unlocked could do it from the bootloader itself while both can do it via download mode, but nomatter what we try the locked Boost Variant doesn't want to let the recovery flash like it does on the Locked T-MOBILE/Metro Variants

How do you perform it from the bootloader? For that matter, how do I check if my variant has a locked bootloader? I'm still on Fido stock 5.0.2 but all root methods thusfar have failed. The provider really locked it down tight :/

Hi,

I am trying to sideload a kindle fire app (All4) to Fire TV, I have been successful in doing this with Demand 5 and ITV, but All4 throws an error when trying to install:

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY]

On inspecting the APK, the only thing under uses-library is: "com.google.widevine.software.drm"

It seems odd that this library would be present on the fire and not the fire tv. I tried to find it using APK Extractor, but nothing matched the name. Is there a way to get this library onto the fire tv, so I can install All4?

Kindle Fire HD7 + Fire TV, both latest updates, unrooted.

Thanks!
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] gamer765:
Its a jar in /system/framework/. Copy that over to the fire TV as well as the permissions file for it located in /system/etc/permissions/. Set permissions to 0644, reboot and try installing the app again. It'll install but can't guarantee it'll work.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Ederechs:
Hi Gamer,

I was able to find and pull the files off, but can't copy them over to the proper places due to permissions -

the device is unrooted (since I'd rather not tempt finding out if the efuse is real or not), and I'm assuming in order to get permission, I need root.

That would be end of the line for this then, but at least it might push someone else in the right direction.

Thanks!
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] rbox:
The fuse is most definitely real. And also has nothing to do with rooting.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Ederechs:
Yes, sorry, real is a bad way to put it - I was under the impression that while it won't brick the device or damage it, it is successful at the moment to prevent root access by preventing you from booting into a lower firmware to root. I've done a bit of reading and looking around, but I may have missed it - if I have the latest updates, is there a way to get su access without tripping the fuse? If It's in a thread somewhere I missed, I'd love to read through and see instead of making you explain again.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] rbox:
As I said. The fuse has nothing to do with rooting. To downgrade, you need root in the first place.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badhri:
My Nexus 4 was running on Android 5.0(Stock,Rooted). I installed the Xposed framework for Lollipop and few other modules for it. Initially things were working fine, but after installing few additional modules, the boot process started taking a long time than usual(30 mins to even 1 hr). The very first time it happened, I thought that my phone went into boot loop, but after some 20-30 mins it booted into the Android runtime. But from then on, every reboot has been such a pain the ass.

When the Factory Image for the 5.1.1 was released, I flashed it using the steps mentioned in http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/general/how-to-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2010312

But still I'm facing the same problem(the boot process is taking a very long time). So, I think it doesn't have anything to do with the Xposed Framework/Modules.

Has some one else faced similar problem? If so can you please provide some pointers on how I should go about solving this problem?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omarabdellatif11:
Try installing a custom recovery again, like TWRP, and then going in and manually doing a factory reset, along with wiping your Dalvik cache, and formatting the system partition on your phone. Then, try installing 5.1.1 again or install a custom ROM. It's possible some of the Xposed framework stuff got left on there.

You'll have to wait a few weeks I think. They have some on eBay if you feel like paying 70 bucks for it.

Isn't that for the leather on ebay? Didn't see any all plastic. You have link?

Holy smokes, that crazy price!! Probably making $50 profit!

The second case I tried was very hard to get a case on, but it was possible. The reason I got the leather back was because it was the same price as with plastic, so I opted for leather! Once we start to get roms going, then I"ll really need a plastic back in case I need to pull out the battery quickly.
