Upgrade from V10g to V20a keeping data

First of all, thanks to all putting effort into this development.

I own a D620r with software V10g and KitKat 4.4.2, unlocked bootloader and TWRP. I used towelroot to root it. Everything runs fine so far.

I got a notification for the official OTA update to V20a and downloaded it to the device. I tried to apply it but were stuck in a recovery loop. I learned that official OTA updates need stock recovery and I cannot apply them having TWRP installed. I applied this fix to escape from recovery loop. The device is alive again, but the LG updater app asks to apply the downloaded update once a day.

Now I found this thread. The phone is my main device and contains lots of apps and settings. I want to keep the data if possible.

A) Do I have to expect trouble when I flash the V20a from this thread without wiping the data partition?

B.1) Or would the following procedure be an alternative:

Flash stock recovery (I made a backup using Rashr)

Revert bootloader to original locked aboot

Apply OTA update

Root

Replace bootloader with the unlocked one

Flash TWRP

B.2) I read that towelroot is based on a security vulnerability of the linux kernel that is fixed with Lollipop . If that is true, can someone give a hint how to root on Lollipop?

C) Can I choose between V20c/D620 and V20a/D620r or do they belong to different devices and are incompatible?

Thanks for your time reading this post.

Thanks

Thank you for the Rom and the instructions. It works great, there are no functions that are not working.

It also solves the bug for the smartwatches that caused battery drains on Kitkat.

when a version with xposed???
[LG G2 Mini] Zaaap72:
Never, because this is the stock rom in a flashable .zip for custom recovery.

And xposed for android 5 ist still alpha and doesn't work correct on our phone.

If you want to try xposed you can just install it.

Read the xposed thread for that.

Please don't ask any further questions about xposed here, this thread is only about zip flashable stock rom.

Thank you.

I just flashed this ROM and a problem appeared

Every time I boot my phone up I get this message.

WARNING!

Current version is not available for user. Can't find matched cust for NT-code mcc/mnc[29403],subset[FF]

What does it mean?

EDIT:

Also one more question, can I update my phone OTA in case there is a new software?

I'm on the soak test. And I want to downgrade to 4.4.4. I have the 4.4.4 from Motorola but I'm having trouble with the rest. Could someone post step by step instructions for noobs. I have the SDK installed. And extracted the zip in the platform tools folder. When I access that directory and try to fastboot anything other then reboot boot loader it says file not accessible?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
You should not downgrade to 4.4.4. You should only downgrade to the lollipop version your device was on before you took the soak OTA. What model phone do you have?

Everyone says to go to 4.4.4 then take 5.0 update o.t.a. then wait for.5.1 or side load it? Is this wrong?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
check your bootloader version - if it is 60.14 or 60.16 you are on the 5.1 bootloader. If you want to take the 5.1 OTA, I would flash the 5.0 Pure Edition system, recovery, kernel, modems and basebands only. Then wait for the 5.1 OTA to drop.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cazman420:

I wouldn't flash back to 4.4.4.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cazman420:
OK. But even if I did the 5.0 how would I do it. BTW my boot loader is 60.14
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JulesJam:
Do you have the stock 5.0 images for your device? If so, you just flash them. Don't flash the bootloader (motoboto) or partition table (gpt).

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MlucianoEze:
Hi everyone. A friend gave me an S4 Mini he has because it restarts randomly (Stock 4.4.2). I tried changing batteries, but the problem is still there. I thought it was the ROM, so I installed CM12 and the phone kept rebooting; the same happened with CM11.

When you connect the phone USB, it reboots more than when is not (if it reboots every 5 min., when it's plugged it reboots every 2 minutes).

When the phone is in recovery, it doesn't reboot, but if it's plugged, it does.

I don't know what to do, can you help me?

Thanks in advance.

P.S.: I forgot to mention that the Home button is 'stuck'. If you press it, it doesn't work, but it enters in recovery mode if you press the combination.

Hi,

I have a moto g 2014 xt1068 stuck at a black screen just after the motorola boot animation.

The beginning:

It all started because one guy started messing with the phone, unlocked it's bootloader and installed some custom roms. As the guy told me, the phone run out of juice while "configuring the android apps" phase and after charging it got stuck after the boot animation ever since.

What i tried to fix the phone:

First i tried to install multiple stock roms, from for example windows-tool-moto-g-2014-xt1064-restore.

I did it in osx and adapted the bash script, following every command. It always worked perfectly while flashing but after restarting i got the same result every time - black screen after boot animation.

One example of my flashing script

#!/bin/sh

mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata

read -p "Press [Enter] key to reboot..."

mfastboot reboot

echo "Finished!"

Then i tried to install a custom recovery tool:

I picked TWRP and downloaded it from both the official website and this thread. The flashing went smoothly but when i restarted it, got into fastboot, selected the recovery and booted to the recovery it booted into the stock recovery! My flashing didn't made any difference whatsoever.

The commands to flash the twrp img

$ mfastboot flash recovery TWRP_2.8.0.1_Titan_v2.img
$ mfastboot reboot recovery

Finally someone told me that sometimes some phones can be fixed by unplugging the battery...

I did it as a moment of pure despair and open the phone, unplugged the cable from the board and got everything together again. After trying to flash a stock rom and a custom recovery i got the same results as above.

I really would apreciate some help. Anything i should try? Something i did wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Is there anyway I can get it to work again and have my daughter use it? I'm just stuck at the Icloud Activation screen. I already restored trough iTunes. But would like for her to use it. Might as well, you know. I found it in a parking lot. Thanks in advance.

[Off-topic] Darth:
Why not turn it in at the closest store to the parking lot? Or look at the phone details ...messages or phone log, find out who's it is and get in touch with them or a frequently messaged/called contact??

Anything....aside from keeping it and trying to get it to work. Cause they will likely report it lost and it will be blacklisted anyway and no longer function. Plus as it is, it's tied to their account.

Oh wait....instead of any of that, you wiped it it seems. So you basically stole it. (or at least did absolutely nothing to find the owner.....and wiped it to try and make it yours.....which you won't, cause it will be attached to someones account...and eventually will be IMEI Blacklisted. Please don't say you tried....cause one call or text to a contact and you would have tracked down the owner. You could have called the carrier to and reported it found.)

You won't find help on XDA with that. And I hope despite your actions....that if you lose your phone, wallet, or something important....a respectable citizen returns it to you.

Disappointing thread is now closed.

Hi smart guy,

As there is not much about your exact device on xda (I found only this rooting thread: [ROOT/GUIDE] Zest T1-G46 by ka13b), the place where you ave asked in the first place is the right one.

Just give the other smart guy a little bit more time to read and hopefully answer your question.

Hi guys,

I have having nightmares about this. I can't get it to work.

I have a rooted Nexus 5 on 5.1 (not upgraded yet to 5.1.1), with SuperSU 2.46 installed and working properly. BUT, I can't get the touch screen to work on my AppRadio 3. I can see my phone's display on there (although it's not flipped), but I can't interact with it at all from the radio.

I don't know what I missed. Can you guys have a look and help please ?

Here is a video of what is happening when I try to run ARU-R (Which I paid for on the Play Store to help support): Actually I can't post links on here yet. So search for "AppRadio 3 not working on Nexus 5 (5.1)". It's the first one.

So I am having some problems with headphones and my Z3 Compact.

Some time ago my headphones (NOCS NS500 android version) stopped working. Phone wasn't detecting when they are plugged in. I thought that headphones them self got somehow damaged. But they work fine with my pc and tablet.

Headphones that came with the phone work just fine.

After some google'ing I made my NOCS work again with soundabout, but controls don't work, NOCS app for that doesnt work either.

So the question is - is there a way to fix this? So that my phone sees these headphones as Sony headphones?

Thanks

P.S. I did go through general part of the Z3C forum and used search didn't find anything helpful ;) So I am sorry if this was already asked and answered.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maggiv8:
Worked perfectly for my Galaxy Tab3 7inch from T-Mobile (SM-T217T). I used Linux, but should work the same way with Windows/OSX:

1. Download Heimdall (incl. frontend, if you use Linux).

2. Download recovery file (CWM -ClockworkMod) for SM-T217S or SM-T217T and extract the zip/tar file so you will get the recovery image file (you should get a file called recovery.img). See attachment for file.

3. Download SuperUser (for getting root access later on) and save it to your external SD card on your Galaxy tab. See attachement for file. Please don't unzip the file, save the zip file as it is on your SD card.

4. Put SDCard into your GalaxyTab :)

5. Connect your Galaxy tab to your PC via USB and start it up in Download mode: Power + Volume DOWN.

6. Open Heimdall (under Linux as root).

7. Go to tab 'Utilitites'.

8. Click on 'Detect'.

9. Choose destination file for PIT file and click on 'Download'.

10. Then change tab to 'Flash'.

11. Open your PIT file and click on 'Add'.

12. Choose recovery as partition name and add the CWM file.

13. Click on start (I prefer to automatically reboot the device after flashing recovery, so I won't activate any of the options next to the start button such as 'No Reboot', etc.).

14. Your device should now reboot. Once in Android, please power off your device.

15. Start your device with Power + Volume UP, so recovery mode will be invoked.

16. Choose the menu point ‘load from external SD card’ and execute SuperUser file – see attachment. This will actually root your device.

17. Reboot your device and you should be rooted now….

Cheers
