So it changed for the G4? I used that script for both G2 and G3.
[G4 Original Android Development] DocRambone:
Yes, the dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system

has changed.

But there 1 more problem: the delete_recursive("/system"); has not correct permissions and will not wipe the system.

So we need an update to the recovery.
[G4 Original Android Development] DarthEwok:
WaaaaHoooooo, made the changes to the install script, manually wiped the /system partition flashed successfully and I have access to my phone again. Thank you everyone!
[G4 Original Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
OMG if this works I'll be soooo happy! All I got is a bootlooping gapps fc'ing no gmail receiving piece of plastic now.

Downloading the zip now.

Will change the script.

Wipe system.

Flash it.

Fingers crossed! :good:

[Edit] Annnd back in business again. Wow. Spent an incredible amount of time trying to fix it, with no avail. Now, finally able to use the phone again. Gratitude = immense :good:
[G4 Original Android Development] DocRambone:
Nice, can you upload the corrected zip so any other users can use ii if they gets into problems?

That's the one I used and it works.
[G4 Original Android Development] the_scotsman:
Ahh, so it maybe means your device isn't getting far enough into the boot to enable adb.
[G4 Original Android Development] mystery007:
This is IMHO out of order @G4.
[G4 Original Android Development] DocRambone:
No go?

1. Turn off G4

2. Hold Vol down+power button until LG LOGO appear

3. Release Power button 1 sec then hold it again

4. You will see white screen

5. Choose Yes/Yes 2 times for enter to Recovery mode

[G4 Original Android Development] :
Can you do fastboot boot twrp.img and get into TWRP? I had the same problem, and flashing from another computer fixed it. Either it was a problem with Windows 10 or I had a different version of ADB.

Am I the only one with H815 that can't see his phone in the list? Just G3 and other LG/brand models, no H815 at all!!! Downloaded from playstore! X-O

I can just use it with fastboot pretty unuseful!
[G4 Original Android Development] stl-soldier:
The last time I looked into it, about a year ago, ADB didn't work on Windows 8+. Only Windows 7 and earlier worked. I'm guessing that isn't the case anymore, but my point is maybe people are using an older version of ADB on a newer Microsoft OS that isn't supported. Make sure you have the latest ADB, or use Windows 7.
[G4 Original Android Development] mystery007:
No, it's impossible. Windows 8.1
[G4 Original Android Development] the_scotsman:
I do it often on both Win8.1 and Win10 with no issues. Make sure you have ADB 1.0.32
[G4 Original Android Development] MicroMod777:
Did you flash another stock recovery? If you flashed twrp you shouldn't be seeing that IMO. Hmmm.

[G4 Original Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Making a Nandroid I hope the 4GB large system image (/system is mentioned separately) isn't necessary? Otherwise backups will take up an amazing amount of space :cool:
[G4 Original Android Development] wolfgart:
backup all on external sdcard ;)
[G4 Original Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Hahaha I understand :cowboy:

But backups have never been this big, not on the G3 (ages ago running stock) as well. Right now a (compressed!) backup is nearly 7GB, I do not fully understand why. Deducting the 4GB (it's a single large file) would result in a size very comparable with previous backups. Hence the question :angel:

If the file really is necessary I will leave it there (still have my G3 as well and only one SD so space is running out rapidly this way) :good:
[G4 Original Android Development] wolfgart:
It's always better have 1 full backup and after that, you can make other customized backup too

Inviato dal mio LG-H815 utilizzando Tapatalk
[G4 Original Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Totally agree of course!

But, to make it clear (still on my first coffee though, might also be the issue): if I make a "full" Nandroid (only without the 4GB file), will that totally restore the phone to it's pre-backup state?

Can or course try it out myself but still tinkering with it after being doomed for two days with a bootlooping piece of stress device :cool:

Thanks for your time and recovery by the way, highly appreciated :good:
[G4 Original Android Development] mystery007:
Till I installed the XPosed-Installer it was possible.

After installation it is impossible to get into twrp.

I have it

I Only flashed TWRP.

After this I flashed XPosed-Installer using TWRP

I have a second device H815. This works fine with adb.

Can boot into TWRP - without flashing this - and so on.

Drivers installed: LGUnitedMobileDriver_S52MAN314AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.14.1

I think, my first device is not booting till the end (always LG-Screen on (after the startscreen).

After contact to USB-Cable it begins booting.

It shows two screens (first with LG-Logo and warning at left side (Bootloader is unlocked),

then second screen with LG-Logo only.

The device is getting extremly warm.

LG Service Tool finds the device, but doesn't do anything with it.
[G4 Original Android Development] *justintime*:
Is xposed compatible then? I saw a experimental version 64 bit on XDA.

But "affraid" to install.
[G4 Original Android Development] mystery007:
Now, I know about the incompatibility of XPosed-Installer 64 to the H815 :p

Do not install it.

You will get my problem with installing the X-Posed-Installer.

[G4 Original Android Development] MicroMod777:
No way, as this helped us figure out how to do a bootstack on the G2!
[G4 Original Android Development] ThePhoneGeek:
Previously I might have agreed with you however the carriers and the phone manufacturers in recent years expend a lot of money to lock bootloaders or otherwise lock devices to prevent the development community from further customizing roms and devices in general.

Given how much we spend on phones and the fact that they use a portion of that money to make it harder for those of us that wish to customize devices we paid for I no longer feel any sympathy for them.
[G4 Original Android Development] MicroMod777:
Well I was paying $10 a month for my coverage. Got my moneys worth and a way to flash with bootstack method.
[G4 Original Android Development] 2ndComing:
To get in recovery, you hold home button and vol down, until first screen appears, let go real fast then hold them down again. This will open up a screen that asks if you want to reset phone select yes and home button, then yes again then home. it will take you to recovery. scared me on my lg g3 but it was fine :)

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 PM ----------

I have H811 with T-Mobile. T-Mobile usually already has unlocked bootloaders, maybe not this round, not sure
[G4 Original Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
For the record:

Made a "full" Nandroid (incl. the System Image file). Wiped dalvik, cache, data and system.

Restored the Nandroid without the System Image file. All is fine.

So for intermediate backups and restores I guess this is not necessary to include and saves a lot of time and space (4GB) :good:
[G4 Original Android Development] KnifeFed:
I just made a full Nandroid backup with this version. I then tried restoring to it and now my phone won't boot past the LG logo. I have to pull out the battery to be able to boot to recovery. Any tips?

Edit: I flashed LG-H81510A-Flashable.Modem.zip and LG-H81510A-Flashable.RootedSystem.Boot.zip from this thread. That made the phone bootable again. I proceeded to make a new Nandroid backup and then tried restoring to it. This time it worked without any issues and the phone boots. I wonder what went wrong the first time though...

[G4 Original Android Development] r4Rok:
Just stumbled upon this site OneClickRoot, claiming to having root available for LG G4. Has any one here tried it, if 'yes', how would we install custom recovery, when it's only available H815 model?
[G4 Original Android Development] Svartsyn333:
I'm pretty sure this method works with adb and needs the phone to get into bootloader. Which needs to be unlocked to get into it. So yes, this will work if you already unlocked your bootloader. TWRP can also be flashed with Flashify after you got the phone root.
[G4 Original Android Development] r4Rok:
It could be other way too, once executed the tool, it may put you in to a situation to pay them to make it working again. So, better stay off these root, until XDA devs releases more permanent and secured method.
[G4 Original Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Restoring a Nandroid without this file leads to a fully functioning phone will all /system stuff intact.

[Nexus 5 General] Axel85:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrK1wQjh980

They are testing palm print and fingerprints detection by touch screen. Seems that touch resolution is enought to reconize one print from another

And this is the cool stuff: They use a nexus 5 to test... Very interesting
[Nexus 5 General] Gallardo994:
Are you sure it isn't a modified nexus 5?
[Nexus 5 General] nirel.didi:
no

i think that is modified nexus 5. i didnt saw it before
[Nexus 5 General] tampitzel:
Well judging by what they describe, they are using any touchscreen as a scanner. I don't thing you need to modify anything internally, I think it's more software based.

Basically you just need to root your nexus, and have access to the digitizer directly in order to track patterns when you touch the screen.

Based on the patterns you get to track thanks to the digitizer, you can authenticate or reject an user. For me, it looks totally software based.

Remember that app you use to track how many points you can do on a touchscreen? If you press one it shows you the coordinates and so on and so forth until you reach 10. I think it's based on something like that, except it's probably much more advanced tracking since you can get patterns for fists/ears/fingers etc.

Judging by the looks of it though, I don't think it can read your "fingerprint". I don't think the resolution is enough. So, instead if reads your fist print since the resolution should be enough to calculate who's who. (I don't know if i`m making any sense right now lol).

Anyway, in short, looks okay, as long as you use fists/ears , whatever. Since Google introduced fingerprint auth, I don;t think they are going to allow fists and ears prints in their APIs so I don;t think you;re going to be able to use your fists for buying stuff from Google play, still , for a nerd like me the video is very satisfying.
[Nexus 5 General] chiragkrishna:
its a project by Yahoo,... saw it last month i think,... for more info here

personally i think it wont be that secure and in cold climates it would be pretty hard to do that,...
[Nexus 5 General] tampitzel:
agreed, this is why i was thinking Google will never allow this in their APIs. :)
[Nexus 5 General] markdapimp:
doesn't seem practical, making a fist gesture to unlock your phone or placing it to your ear to unlock or gripping the phone to unlock.

It'll be socially awkward and won't be accepted as much as fingerprint sensors, besides I don't think it'll be that secure anyway.

Fingerprint sensors are the way to go :good:

As more and more devices get these sensors, I think in the long run.. fingerprint sensors will be cheaper

Think about it, A replacement Touch ID sensor on eBay is like $5... it's just the software implementation on it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrTimeStop:
I decided to try and install a rom (GF-XXUGNK4-9.0). After installing the rom the S4 is now stuck at the Samsung loading screen. The part where the blue light appears. The device is the IG9505X (Retail Demo Unit.) Any advice as to how I can restore it back to working order?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wayne kane:
Samsung Galaxy s4 Rom not working

If you still need this problem fixed it seems NB1 is for 4.4.2 and MK2 is for 4.3 JB rom. This may cause a base OS conflict if not matching bootloaders to the version of Android you have. When an Android won't get past the last boot phase and startup it means that the UI or the settings prop are not working the right way or the kernel may be too far off specifications for your device. If you need anything else, or have fixed this issue, let us know please,....... thanks.:cool:
[XDA Assist] kiefac:
I recently used Kingroot to root my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Stellar. I was really excited and started looking for a way to put a new ROM on it, so I looked for a way to unlock the bootloader. ADB and Fastboot didn't seem to work, trying to unlock it with the "am broadcast..." method returned 0. I thought it might have been unlocked already because there was an opened lock on the boot screen, but I read somewhere that the Samsung logo should only show up for a split second, so I sort of disregarded the lock icon. I installed EZ Unlock, it said my bootloader was unlocked, and when I rebooted to see if the logo would only flash... My phone never restarted. I've tried everyone and their mom's methods to turn it back on. The best I can get is taking out the battery and plugging it in to charge, which causes the charge light to turn on, but nothing else. (The LED won't turn on if I have the battery in, for whatever reason.)

Anyone have an idea what happened? This isn't my main phone, just one we got for free on our last family plan, but I was really hoping to use it as a music player by finding a custom ROM that looked like the Zune HD's UI, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

N.B. - I have a laptop with Windows installed, but I've started trying to clean it's drive to use it for gaming. I would prefer any methods that work with Ubuntu or WINE.

[XDA Assist] jd1639:
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Sorry for the delay. Unfortunately there is nothing on XDA about your device. It looks like it's a pretty old device. But it's a Samsung so I'd try flashing the stock firmware with Odin. I haven't checked for your device, but Samsung-updates.com and sammobile.com have Samsung stock firmware. See if you can find it for your device. You'll download a .zip file. Use 7-zip or winrar to extract the zip. You'll end up with a .tar.md5 file. Use that in Odin, PDA slot. Google Odin 1.85 for Odin

Good luck!
[XDA Assist] kiefac:
Thanks for the idea, but my phone won't even turn on, so I don't think odin will help...
[XDA Assist] jd1639:
If it won't even turn on it's bricked. There is nothing you'll be able to do without special hardware. You could see if JTAG is available for your device.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ciresamor:
Yup, I know total newb question. I decided to unroot my phone a while back because honestly I knew I wasn't going to have time to mess around with the phone like I have in the past. I unrooted it and thought I did everthing right. Root checker says it's not rooted. However my phone has since messed up and broken and HTC is going to help me out under warranty and send me a refurbished one.

The phone is urooted but says it's unlocked and Supersu will not uninstall. When I turn it on using Power and volume down it says it's MODIFIED. I've since deleted everthing that helped me root the phone through the mack, all the files, etc.

Any help on how to get this back to normal? I've heard in a few places that they don't particularly care but I didn't want them to charge me once they receive the item.

Thanks for the help.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ciresamor:
I am, I remember I used this video but it did not lock and the supersu never uninstalled.

The best you can do then for now is to fastboot oem lock

And then run an s-on ruu that is the same or higher than what you have.

If the ruu wasn't lollipop and you paid for sunshine in the past you could do sunshine again and fix it
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ciresamor:
It was on lollipop and I didn't have the sunshine app.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ciresamor:
is there any other way to fix that? What's the general consensus, will HTC void the warranty?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Locked is locked. Whether relocked or locked. You cannot fix that without being s-off. If you are still on kitkat you could pay $25 via sunshine to s-off and fix it to say locked and then turn s back on.

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NickB95:
Hey guys.

So last night I was trying to update the rom on my Nexus 9 from a 5.02 release of AICP to the latest one. I boot into TWRP and it asks me for my pass code, then I take a backup, clear the caches and try to install the rom (from the internal storage). I don't think it gave any error messages, but when I rebooted and it got to the screen where you enter the password (I'm guessing where it decrypts or something), it said something about an internal error and that I should contact the manufacturer - when I tried to put the password in it just says that settings crashed over and over.

I tried to restore the backup; as well as factory reset and install the new rom fresh; I keep getting /vendor mount issues, etc. I even tried deleting the system partition and installing the new one, still no dice.

So I'm basically dead in the water at the moment (with no OS at all haha), does anyone have experience with this or any ideas for what to do? All ideas appreciated and thanks in advance.
