[MENTION=7722978]yuyux[/MENTION]: As far as I know you can root Marshmallow no problem. Just use Chainfire's script. But I may be wrong here. I rooted by using Ditto Note 5. lol. [MENTION=8117675]Biopqq[/MENTION]: Uhm... To be honest Marshmallow was good, I didn't go back to 4.4 since. I mean, I saw no point. But, it should work.

If you mess up so much the phone does not boot, just go back to "Download Mode" and flash the latest firmware.

It will flash 100% sure, and you are good to go.

Does anyone know how to port the sound quality of Kitkat to Lollipop? Should I just replace the Lollipop files on the system/lib with Kitkat files?

Is this download (Download ODIN 3.09 and the latest KitKat firmware for your variant from Sammobile.com.) to be made on my pc or on my phone?

stuck with "FW upgrade encountered an issue" HELP PLEASE

Guys,

great tutorial, only i messed up.

i completely failed to do Phase one and now i am stuck with the above and "please select recovery mode in Kies and try again".

i have loaded Kies on Windows pc but it doesn't recognise my fone when connected. i have tried various other versions and it never passes, Odin always fails similar to other users here.

phone: S5 mini on O2 in UK

FW tried :

G800FXXU1AOI1_G800FPHN1AOI1_G800FXXU1AOK1_HOME.tar.md5 and

G800FXXU1ANGF_G800FEVR1ANG3_G800FXXU1ANGF_HOME.tar.md5

my issues started when i did my first update in 2 yrs, which i believe took it from KK to LL (which variants i am unsure). I kept getting different issues with overlay screens which stopped me accessing gallery, whatsapp, etc, and emails were forever loading, eventually the phone became a burden rather than a help (i use the phone for business so need constant access to emails etc.

any help in getting a) phone back up and running, b) back up and running on KK would be greatly appreciated.

cheers

[Galaxy Note 4 General] h8Aramex:
Well, I only used the tutorial / programs / steps on my N910C.

What does it say in ODIN? If everything fails, ODIN should still work.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] TEBB1966:
thanks for the response h8Aramex.

After trying numerous other FW variants i finally managed to get the phone booted into 5.1.1 and - whilst all seems to be running ok, it's killing my battery life compared to how it ran prior to the initial upgrade.

i now find myself with 3 options, :

1) keep this current 5.1.1 version

2)allow the phone to update to a newer version,

3) attempt again to roll back to an earlier KK version, which i believe needs me to kill the FRP -which may have caused my earlier problems.

your thoughts on 2 or 3 ? i don't really want to stick with 5.1.1 if the battery doesn't last.

cheers Tebb

I'm curious. How does it work? The phone is completely powered down and the alarm can turn the phone on (with all the start up logo and whatnots)? sorry but I don't have the OPO and still waiting for Zf2.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pot Noodle:
I don't but it did turn itself on and then off when I stopped the alarm.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chooks06:
Which means the phone was actually "on" when the alarm went off. When the alarm was stopped, the phone rebooted?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pot Noodle:
No it was turned off as I had battery issues.

I wanted to solve this problem on my own but after almost 6 hours I just can't figure it out. Its either totally bricked or I'm just missing something simple. I've seen many people complain about this problem but none of them seem to have had the same problem I do. Thing is I was just really starting to love the way I had the phone set up. DAMN!

Try to hard-reset your phone. There is a button combination for that., search it over the internet.
[XDA Assist] tjallard:
Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately the hard reset combo does nothing. I've tried every button combination that I have been able to find with no luck. Factory reset, hard reset, etc. etc. no luck. I've also searched for a possible "hidden" button underneath the back cover or something of the like...nothing.

hmmmm
[XDA Assist] hassansheikh:
At least, it is not hard-bricked. So there is hope.

Have you checked if it is entering the download mode? If not, then try it. You can use this mode to flash file via the PC.

Ok I want to do a full Backup of my Herald, so if it crash that i can go into Windows, fire up a program, pressing "restore old ROM" and it is the way i had backuped it.

I know some programs, that are storing backup datas like sms,contacts etc. - but thats not enough for me.

So is there a program that can fulfill my needs?

( and yes, i read a lot in the forum here - but i didn't found anything or i'm just a bit blind :( )

[Wing, P4350 General] The Dutchman:
It does not make a ROM backup.;)
[Wing, P4350 General] xsign:
well then :) its gettings weird and im starting to feel pretty sad about the Herald :(
[Wing, P4350 General] dotfred:
When you do a backup of your ppc with spb backup, it will backup everything that is on your device (ROM) that is not part of the ROM itself.

It means that all programs installed after a hard reset, all the databases (mails, contacts, notifications,...) all the registry, and all files not being part of the ROM.

So if you do a hard reset and you restore the backup it will be exactly the same as it when you did the backup. And I think that it is what you want.

Caution, if you do an OS up/downgrade, your backup is useless. This backup cannot be either installed on another device.

Cheers,

Fred
[Wing, P4350 General] xsign:
ok sweet - ty fred. another question: what if i changed the ROM - how to backup that ? no solution yet?
[Wing, P4350 General] dotfred:
This is device dependent. With some of them, it is possible, with others it's not, for several reasons. If you don't find tools or someone who managed to do it and provided the way to do so, well you're stuck... I think dumping is not the biggest problem, the real problem is the restore stuff. Sorry, but it is so.

hehe ok ok - i would be a step closer to my goal if i would find a way to unlock the ROM/ break into, so i can change files in there...
[Wing, P4350 General] dotfred:
What do you mean? If you're talking about doing it 'live', forget about that. But if you're talking about changing the contents of the Rom before doing the upgrade, well the tools are already existing and kitchens too (depending on the device)

[G3 General] wulsic:
LAF NUKER wipes your Download mode and let you use Fastboot instead.:

I was getting irritated that my Fastboot mode dissapeared everytime when I flashed some lollipop stock based rom as those all included bootloader files, so I had to first attempt to get into the rom itself or recovery to wipe it again over and over. So I thought by myself why won't I make something easy and flashable?

This lightweight flashable zip from 2-4KB is tested by me multiple times so after you flashed it I HIGHLYsuggest that you need to test or you can enter download mode and see if it shows now fastboot. If so then everything succeeded like it should, it has an succes rate of 100% as nothing could actually go wrong with this.

This script/method should also work for the G3 and some other LG devices which have this partition:

/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf

For the one's who care the shell script is located in the update-binary, updater-script is just dummy.

If you want to revert back, just flash the jb/kk/lp bootloader files.

[G3 General] channeledbymodem:
My question is somewhat off-topic but I'm having a hard time understanding how bootloaders and ROMs work with the G3.

When I had a G2 I learned about the difference between Kitkat and Lollipop bootloaders the hard way when I tried to restore a Kitkat nandroid backup over stock lollipop and hard bricked the phone. My impression was that since the KK backup did not include a compatible bootloader I needed to flash one or restore to stock KK.

Now you are suggesting that ROMs for the G3 *include* bootloaders, which is news to me. Does this mean I can go back and forth between Kitkat and Lollipop ROMs without worrying about bootloaders? Or restore nandroid backups without the same concern? I don't want to have to downgrade to Kitkat every time I want to try a new ROM or restore a backup.

Thanks.
[G3 General] wulsic:
No most roms don't include bootloaders but some stock roms do, especially in the g2 community as I made this first for G2 but I also found out that it would also work on the G3. I guess g3 is the same as the G2 in terms of flashing. Lollipop stock roms need lollipop bootloader related files to properly boot but the bootloader is from kitkat with the g3 because else bump and flashing doesnt work. Only on the g3 tmobile version as that version has an unlocked bootloader. Just read the op's from the threads good and you will know what you need to flash here in the g3 community. But download mode might not always properly work as solution I have this laf nuker so you can flash the good kernel and or recovery if you softbricked your phone. If you hardbrick your G3 you can still fix it as far as I know so don't worry.
[G3 General] channeledbymodem:
I have the T-Mobile version of the G3. How does that make things different?

It cost me $45 to fix a hard brick on a G2 which I later found out was still under financing with T-Mobile so I returned it. It was an expensive little device.
[G3 General] wulsic:
Well as far as I know the t mobile version has an unlocked bootloader so more freedom for flashers. I also hard bricked my G2 but before I hard bricked it there was a shortening method guide on how to hard unbrick your g2. Could also work on the g3 perhaps. Well that sucks that you needed to pay $45 lets just hope for you that it won't happen again.

If you want 100% clarification about the bootloader and different roms then you might want to ask it in the Q&A or a rom thread as I am a G2 user. But short story as far as I know. Lollipop bootloader related files for lollipop stock roms. And kitkat bootloader related files for custom aosp roms like euphoria cyanogenmod etc.
[G3 General] channeledbymodem:
I don't know if the guy I paid (who fixed it the day he got it so it couldn't have been so hard for him) had to open it to short the pins but after watching a video showing it done I wasn't going to chance it. It was like repairing a watch. Plus I tried the sw method of viewing the borked partitions in Linux and then replacing them but I couldn't see them to replace so I paid for the repair. And I only had the damn phone for a month before I discovered the problem with T-Mobile and sent it back.

I must say the G2 was a *very* finicky device compared to the Optimus G Pro I had before. And that phone never worked properly with any AOSP ROM. I don't know why I'm so loyal to LG. Must be because the phones are cheaper and I really don't like Samsung any more.

Of course the Verizon Motorola Droid Ultra I bought for my wife used is even worse. It's completely locked down. You can't root Lollipop on it and you can't downgrade to Kitkat once you've taken the OTA update.

Until somebody can explain switching ROMs on the G3 to me like I'm five I think I'm just going to always go back to stock Kitkat, re-root and re-install TWRP. Seems the safest thing to do.

Hi All,

Whilst I'm not an avid fan of Google's latest offering, when it comes to Lollipop... Feel it has not quite matured yet, unlike KK.

However, seeing as how the N7000 is based similarly on the i9100 hardware. And noticed that the i9100 has like at least 14x different builds of Lollipop. So wondered if any Dev's would like to carry on a few projects and updates of the N7000...

I would like to say I would, but I wouldnt have a clue what to do.... :P lol
