[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leandroqm:
Hello,

I had TWRP installed and SuperSU on my phone and, then, I received the OTA.

In order to update, I've flashed the stock recovery and used supersu full unroot (BUT... I still have Xposed installed).

I can't OTA upgrade.

Do I have to uninstall Xposed? If so, how do I do it?

Or, what else do I have to do for the OTA to work?

Thank you.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrMeeseeks:
Flash the stock system.img and it would hurt to flash the stock boot.img as well. As long as you haven't messed with the modem or anything that should be all you need to do.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leandroqm:
The stock system.img is from kitkat, that could mess up a lot of things, like Xposed, which could make it not boot anymore.

Or am I wrong? :)
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrMeeseeks:
You can get the full 5.0 images here http://www.graffixnyc.com/motox.php. Flash the stock 5.0 system, recovery, and boot images. That's the only way to get rid of Xposed and you shouldn't have any trouble with bootloops or anything. Then take the OTA.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazy_code:
Hey everyone, (It's a long story: But I would really appreciate any help...)

[I know the easy solution: Boot into RECOVERY MODE and factory reset the phone and if all goes well...DONE.]

I'm running on Android 4.4.(the latest I think its '2'), Stock Firmware, 4G LTE form MetroPCS, and able to get into a so called 'recovery mode' (you can only factory reset the phone) and download mode. I can't get into safe-mode. and I'm Currently stuck in a bootloop or a 'soft-brick'.

Here's what happened:

I've recently been messing around with the tether_dun_required on my LG in order to get it be able to tether WiFi to my laptop.

The phone was rooted using this method: [GUIDE] New Root Method for LG Devices

[ROOT was successful]

I tried various SQLite3 editing apps to try and change the tether_dun_required record in settings.db in data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases but after looking ant the SuperSU logs I got this error: Cannot [mount or chmod] ... because the filesystem is Read-Only...

So, I decided to use ES-File Explorer to pull the settings.db file to my computer and modified it using SQLite Studio then I copied the files to sdcard and renamed the old settings.db to settings_old.db using ES-File Explorer. (all over WiFi) Then I ran ADB shell and got root using 'su'. I remounted '/' , '/data', and '/system' as RW using "mount -o rw,remount /" and etc... Then, I used the "cp" command to copy the files from "/sdcard/settings.db" to "/data/data/com.providers.settings/databases". I assumed you needed to reboot. So I rebooted the phone. AND....bootloop.

I was going to make a nandroid backup or atleast copy anything important out of the phone but: being a noob... I didn't.

I can't get ADB to run either of the Download or Recovery modes.

I know (have a feeling...) I can fix the phone if I can rename the settings.db to something else and the settings_old.db to settings.db but I don't have access to the filesystem because I can't start ADB.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazy_code:
Thanks you for you reply. I have one question though, I have no idea if my bootloader or my kernal or any of that is 'unlocked' I only rooted my phone. If I try to flash aroma fm and they are locked or something would that actually really brick my phone?

ALSO: I don't have an SDCARD... I don't think it's possible to flash anything then? Because flashing from the Internal Storage might brick the device. right?

ALSO: I don't think the LG Optimus F60 has ARM Neon support... & the "Recovery mode" doesn't have any flashing support. It's all STOCK.

LG Optimus F60 Specifications

Any Ideas?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazy_code:
That's RIGHT! But, sorry for the noob question: What is a custom recovery usb-otg and how do I make a flashable zip that runs some commands? (For example: maybe one that just runs the commands but doesn't actually change the recovery software or the boot just one that can rename the files?)

Also, I don't think it would work but, would flashing the recovery to stock not delete any data, and have the phone be able to boot?

If it's too much to explain that's okay just show me some related posts that can show me how.

Thanks again for your time.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazy_code:
I'm not sure, because the phone already has the factory boot and I haven't flashed anything into the Boot Partition. It's probably an error that happens when it tries to validate the settings.db or the permissions it has [chmod or that its mounted read write]. [To my understanding] what TWRP boot loop fix does is install fastboot then the custom recovery and the stock boot again. Which should do about the same thing because the phone is already stock. Right?

Would installing a custom recovery then allow me to access adb or the filesystem? (If so any recommendations?) Or how would I run a script from download mode?

Thanks for your time.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazy_code:
That's right, Thank you. I'm going to try flashing one right now. Do you know of any that give you access to adb? (and maybe have low risk of bricking LG phones?)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazy_code:
How would I install the img? I would need to install fastboot, right? Then run fastboot ****.img?

Is fatboot run from adb or from SendCommand.exe?

Thanks again for all your help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazy_code:
One last question (Need to make sure...): I have fastboot.exe from the SDK tools, so all I need to do is:

1. Connect the USB

2. Boot into Download Mode

3. Run fastboot flash *.img

4. When finished unplug the USB and take the battery out.

5. Then boot back into Download mode or Recovery Mode to get TWRP?

6. Then try to see if I can get ADB to work?

Also, sorry for all the questions: But If I ever needed to, will a factory reset delete TWRP or will I need to flash it again with the Stock recovery?

Thanks for your time. You are awesome.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FamousBox:
i need to restore my lg f60 (i'm in the us and the carrier it supports is metropcs). i have TWRP recovery on it. can someone link to stock firmware/rom (whatever the terminology is...basically the operating system that the phone came w/), usb drivers, software tool to install the firmware, and everything i need to restore my phone back to how it was when i bought it.

i was curious and tried lollipop (i think i tried both 5.0 something or 5.1 something or just one of them ended up working) but the camera was completely non-functional so now i need to go back to the phone being how it was when i bought it.

the firmware i've installed on the phone right now is MS39510G_00 (i think "MS39510G" is the actual identifier of the firmware, and the 00 is probably not useful for anything; the site i got it from maybe just appends it for some reason). but this firmware doesn't seem like what the phone came with or i'm not using/not doing everything i need to to restore it back to normal.

couple of things that strike me as odd and make me think that i don't have the right firmware or just didn't do something right:

there's a weird white area at the bottom, which i think was transparent and took on the color of the wallpaper on the phone when you just bought it & didn't mess around w/it

some of the icons are just the generic green android icon. a lot of apps have this same icon instead of different icons of their own

the lock screen seems also seems kind of different. it doesn't look like the lock screen of a new lg f60. maybe i was using a custom lock screen (i doubt it, but it's possible) but still it doesn't look like the standard lock screen to me

[G4 Themes and Apps] 06stang:
In case anyone here is new to the LG family, Verizon sees fit to remove the theme function of the phone. Not sure why exactly. The regular work around for the G3 also works for the G4.

Download LauncherPro from the Play Store

Add a widget to the home screen

Choose Activities

Scroll down to Home

Choose Theme option (LgThemeChooserActivity)

Or

You're good to go.
[G4 Themes and Apps] azraell33:
I had a LG G2 and didn't need a workaround since I could flash a themeable ROM.

Still I must be missing something because I couldn't find "activities" under Launcher Pro's/Widgets, or Shortcuts, or LauncherPro widgets. I even installed a theme from the play store, but can't find a way to apply it. I did find Home Theme - LG in the stock launcher/Widgets, and something similar in Nova Launcher. It doesn't do anything though. I couldn't find LGThemeChooserActivity anywhere. So what am I missing?

Just install the LauncherPro app from the market, long press on the home screen and it should be one of the first options.

This is how I got the theme changer working without installing Launcher Pro.

Get the application "Any Shortcut" from play store

Open the application and enter the following details

Application : com.lge.launcher2

Activity : com.lge.launcher2.theme.LGThemeChooserActivity

Action: [Keep blank]

Intent : [Keep blank]

Then : create, your shortcut is done !

Now open the shortcut and your theme chooser application will fire up.

Download LG themes from LG Smart World application (not installed by default) and start applying themes.

To install Smart World, open the following link from phone and download the apk and install - http://us.lgworld.com/mobile/common...one.jsp?modelCd=VS986-US&assiFlag=N&tabFlag=N

[LG G Watch R] pacificwing:
Hello,

I just took back a pebble steel with a broken button and got a Moto 360. I'm not impressed with it. I like the android wear, and see it has a lot of potential, but my gripes with the 360 are mostly hardware related. It has piss poor battery life, a power-hungry screen tech that practically forbids "always-on", and a crappy processor which will likely be a problem going forward. The 360 will be returned this afternoon.

The LG Watch R appears to resolve some of these issues. Right now I'm trying to decide between the LG and going back to the Pebble Steel.

Some points:

I need a watch that will last at least 12 hours of heavy use (15-20 notifications an hour with vibrations). The 360 fails in this category. Not sure about the LG.

Size is not a factor. I prefer a bigger watch.

It needs to be always on showing at least the time and date.

Can be readable in sunlight.

Is somewhat future proof. This worries me about the Pebble. New apps developed for the Time already have features that only work in color. And then there is talk about Pebble having financial trouble.

I'm really torn. Any insights or things I haven't considered?
[LG G Watch R] Stbrightman:
I am very critical of my tech hardware, keep that in mind while reading my response.

1: my g watch r is always on and lasts easily 24 hours, near 36 if I put it in hibernate while sleeping, however I don't believe I receive that many notifications,.. I'm probably more like 10/hour on average. I do use other features regularly like voice dial/text and card updates.

2: GWR is notoriously a larger round watch which I really really like. I'm 6'2" 195 athletic build and it fits my wrist nicely and looks like a 'larger' watch.

3: always on isn't a problem, neither is time and date when it goes to ambient mode. Plenty of face apps to choose from that show a variety of info in ambient.

4: readable in sunlight is not so good. Turned up to max brightness and in direct sunlight, you are going to be disappointed. I don't know that any display, on a clear day, can compete with the giant ball of nuclear fusion at the center of our solar system.

5: as for future proof, others here can chime in more accurately on that but I've had mine since December of last year and I do not notice any limitations in that arena- so much so that I'm blissfully ignorant of newcomers to the wearable market. One feature that is lacking is Wi-Fi connectivity which is supposed to be activated with an upcoming update. This will definitely come with an obvious downside: decreased battery life, which is a strong point of this watch, and your primary concern....also a feature I'm sure can be turned off.
[LG G Watch R] pacificwing:
Well, I ended up going back to the Pebble. I don't mind the e-ink, and I really don't think the Android Wear stuff is up to snuff quite yet.

I also like the thought of being able to go swimming, seeing the watch outdoors, and being able to operate it with gloves on.

Maybe I'll look at touch based watches again in another year.
[LG G Watch R] shaolin95:
Wow that was a quick decision. Were you REALLY looking for this?

In any case, 12 hours is a piece of cake and I am always playing with Watchmaker etc. I make it through the whole day with ease but I rarely wear it to sleep so I charge every night at about 11pm or so.

Android wear is for sure up to snuff. If you like e-ink then great, whatever suits you. I will keep enjoying my LG R.
[LG G Watch R] 2k4ever:
Sounds like the Sony SW3 could be for you: transflective display that is readable in direct sunlight, good battery life and the most future-proof Android Wear watch currently on the market (the only one with NFC and GPS build in)
[LG G Watch R] Harkunwar:
I upgraded to LG G Watch R from Pebble. I'm sure you won't regret it. The amount of luxuries you'll get with this will hide all the minor disadvantages.

---------- Post added at 06:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 PM ----------

My best friend got a SW3. He always tells to me he should've better gone with G Watch R. He doesn't like the square look though. That's personal opinion. You can do what you want.
[LG G Watch R] meniak:
I switched from a Sony SW 3 to this LG gwatch R after a day. I got the metal Sony version and although I really liked the design and the square look, it's a REAL pain to charge it!!! Really, you have to push the watch out of the band, then poke the little plastic thingy out before sticking a micro-usb in. For something that needs charging every day, that's totally unacceptable to me.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElIrvingsillo:
Hello XDA community. I bought my HTC One about 5 days ago and I have noticed a really bad battery drain.

I know this isn't the first thread complaining about this issue, 'cause the first thing I did was search for a fix to this problem. Sadly none of the solutions I found worked for me.

When I use the phone like a normal person would do (Browse some web pages, check facebook, listen to music etc.) the phone discharges really fast (Like 1 percent per two minutes or three). And when I leave the screen off the battery doesn't consume that fast (I left my phone uncharging when I went to sleep and after 10 hours it took about 10 percent of the battery which I think is pretty acceptable)

I've tried:

- Calibrating the battery (http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...ry-charger-reset-procedure-htc-one-m7-m8.html)

- Using AppsOpps to prevent Google Play Services from waking up the device.

- Using Greenify to hibernate the apps that may drain the battery.

- Using Amplify to manage and edit/disable wakelocks, alarms and services.

Basically everything in this thread (http://xdaforums.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884)

- Changing the ROM

- Flashing a new Kernel

- Perform a Factory Reset.

I'm currently using the AndroidRevolutionHD Rom based on Sense 6 running Android 5.0.2 and using the ElementalX kernel.
