[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Darkmasterhk:
so... at least I'm not the only one

found a solution, expect from installing an older version?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
Maybe the f2fs updates in cm-13.0 create that problem, no idea. The kernel in TWRP is a bit outdated, there weren't updates for a long time. I'll see if I can do something about it, but it would really help if you provided logs (recovery log or last_kmsg after the reboot, or even better, both of them).
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Darkmasterhk:
meh, because i didn't thought about the logs and wanted to flash an update i formated my /data.

well i guess i return to f2fs and "hope" for the issue to re appear.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] GXGOW:
The only lasting solution I have, is not using f2fs, unfortunately.

I can't boot into the recovery mode with the latest version of TWRP. It shows me only this message:

Fastboot mode started

udc_start()
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
Did you already have the latest kitkat bootloader installed before installing TWRP 3.0?

Did you flash the new recovery image within TWRP?

Did you check the md5 before flashing TWRP?

Edit: I think you will need to follow these directions to fix the problem.

The problem was the broken twrp-3.0.0-0-v500.img. Thanks for your answer! :)
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dsbnz:
I'm currently running Unofficial CM 12.1 Rom, with twrp 2.8.7.0. Is it safe to upgrade the recovery to v3.0.0? Or is this recovery specific to Android 6? I'm guessing I'm already on kk bootloader. The last stock Rom that was running, prior to root and installing TWRP and CM 12.1 Rom was KOT49l.V50020d.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fishears:
It is safe for you to upgrade following the instructions in the OP

twrp-3.0.0.0-v500.zip flash with custom recovery
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] tmihai20:
The zip [MENTION=1923506]cadkey[/MENTION] uploaded is for a bootloader that does not use Loki. I have a made a package that uses Loki. If anyone is interested, I am attaching it. I used a zip I downloaded a while back from XDA, I just replaced the recovery.img file inside it. It is not signed, as the original one was not signed as well. I suggest that the other package should be used, as I am manually flashing the recovery the same way that zip does it.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] pnin:
So, which one is right for the KK bumped bootloader?

Tapatalked from my V500
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] tmihai20:
If by bumped bootloader you mean the 20F bootloader, you can use twrp-3.0.0.0-v500.zip, not the one I posted. You can also flash the newer TWRP with the existing version, but before rebooting into the newer version, delete the TWRP folder in the internal memory.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] pnin:
Thanks. After checking, I seem to be running the 20D bootloader, as the dev of my unofficial CM12.1 ROM recommended (at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=61236261), but I'll assume your answer still applies... current TWRP is v2.8.7.1.

Hello,

I have CM 12.1 nightly build installed on my V500. I updated TWRP from 2.8.6.1 to 3.0.0.0 using Rasrh as described on the top of this thread. After upgrade I stuck on booting to TWRP 3.0.0.0 all the time. How can boot to system without loosing data?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
Make sure your TWRP image is not corrupted. Always check the md5sum of the TWRP image before flashing it.

Try downloading TWRP again and flashing it over.

If you hold the power button down for ~10 seconds, the device should reboot into the system, even if TWRP is not working. Once the device boots into the system, you should be able to fix TWRP by flashing it over.

Also, I recommend flashing the latest bootloader from recovery once you fix TWRP.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] da1k:
Hello,

It doesn't help. But I reinstall CM 12.1 without wiping data partition and now it works :) Thanks.

V500 TWRP 3.0.2-0 zip file

Flash with recovery
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] LarryFox:
Hi. I have a V500 running a rooted KK stock firmware V50020F.

I've been monitoring fefifofum's CM13 progress for months, and decided it was time to switch to give my tablet a new life ...

I need a custom recovery then.

I first followed the instructions in the OP, i.e. used Rashr to flash TWRP 3.0.2 and tried to reboot to recovery from there, but landed on this message :

Secure booting Error!

Cause : boot certification verify

I then tried other alternatives (Flashify, dd via an adb shell) to make sure flashing step was correct. Indeed, it lead to the same error message when trying to reboot to recovery, either from app or key combo.

Next, as the OP mentions a reference KK bootloader, I checked mine, supposed to be at same level (V50020F), by extracting the relevant partitions (aboot, rpm, sbl1, sbl2, sbl3, tz) : none of them had the same checksum as the corresponding images of the reference bootloader.

I then reluctantly overwrote the bootloader with the reference one as specified, and reflashed TWRP the dd way.

Still no luck, and the same "Secure booting Error" when rebooting to recovery ... :(

What did I miss ? Thanks in advance
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] tmihai20:
You missed the part where it said that rooting the tablet with the latest SuperSU (which is systemless) will make the tablet display that error message. You can either use system-mode root or you must flash the script that makes the selinux policy permissive (v500-bumped-kernel-to-bumped-permissive-kernel-signed.zip). To get out of that I flashed a kdz (I'd recommend a KitKat kdz because it can be rooted and you can flash the Lollipop bootloader separately).
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] dark0shark:
I had exactly the same problem with latest systemless SuperSU installed from Play Store. I then installed the "TWRP Manager" app and flashed TWRP 3.0.0 with this app. After finishing the tool said something like "some error occured, would you boot into Recovery anyway?" and I did that. Voila, I landed in TWRP and could easily proceed with flashing CM 13, Gapps and TWRP 3.0.2.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] TheRed<:
Hi guys!

I had tried to install the TWRP 3.0.2-0-v500 Recovery but I failed. I'm trying to install the Recovery by TWRP Manager app, but I still find it difficult. In particulat while I choose install from the menu app the messager is shown: "would do you like to attempt to flash the recovery now? To prevent any issues, please make sure your bootloader is unlocked before attempting to flash the recovery.", I choose "yes".

Now the error message is shown: "Something went wrong. Flash recovery was unsuccessful. Either you already have this recovery installed or another error has occurred. Would you like to ttempt rebooting to recovery now?" I choose reboot now and the recovery menu is shown.

My question is: can I install the rom in this way even if the recovery isn't installed?

My software version is V50020f.

Thanks.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] tmihai20:
[MENTION=6776109]TheRed<[/MENTION]: is your tablet rooted? Try Flashfire, after downloading the recovery to your phone. You will need to downgrade to KitKat to root it, then you must flash the bootloader for Lollipop (I uploaded it here http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5810cefd928c3/V50020F-Bootloader.zip). The bootloader is needed in order for AOSP 5.x and newer to work properly.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] TheRed<:
Thanks for the reply!

Yes, I'd used IORoot.

Subsequently I'd downloaded "V50020_aboot_twrp_v2.zip", but I failed. Then, I'd tried the TWRP Manager app...

Can you link me a guide? It's the first time that I install a ROM on G pad.

Ps. I have less then 10 message, I can't post links.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] tmihai20:
Just use Flashfire from Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.flash. Flashfire did not exist when I rooted my G Pad, I used an apk that had TWRP 2.8.6.0 in it. You can also use Flashify as well https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify. It is better to download manually TWRP https://dl.twrp.me/v500/ from their site manually and then use one of the 2 apps to flash recovery. Report here if you still have problems.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] TheRed<:
Ok, I have installed the TWRP automatically via Flashify! Thanks for the support!

Now, how can I enter in TWRP for install the ROM? How ROM do you recommend (fast and stable)?

EDIT1: I just installed Quick Reboot and I've already entered in Recovery mode!:)

Any recommended ROM?:)

EDIT2: Great! I successfully installed AOSP - Android Nougat - 7.1 - NDE63P. Are there any recommended ROM? :D
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] tmihai20:
I am using Adrianom's Nougat 7.1 Rom for a week now. I guess you could check the CM 14.1 from fefifofum if this one does not meet your requirements or your tablet has issues. I would not recommend others, these 2 have the biggest support from their developers.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] TheRed<:
I'm using Adrianom's Nougat too. In the official thread I've read the

Status: Stable

and I've prefeared this with respect to CM 14.1 because its the status is Testing. What are the difference between Adrianom's ROM and CM 14.1 in terms of features? In the respective thread there aren't any informations.

I have installed the ROM only with wipe data and cache. Do I need also wipe System?

I've noticed that I've lost the root permission...why?

If i'm OT tell me and I post on ROM's thread.

Thanks again.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] TheRed<:
[MENTION=2782481]tmihai20[/MENTION] the problem is that according to the ROM is not rooted, the app Quick Reboot not allow me to enter in Recovery mode (superuser permission is needed). And for install

[SuperSU][System-Mode][2.78 SR3]

I need to Flash it in recovery. Any suggestions?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] tmihai20:
[MENTION=6776109]TheRed<[/MENTION]: connect it to a PC, then run "adb reboot recovery".

[G4 General] DRSdroid:
So I usually use CPUSpy to monitor my CPU usage. This comes in handy once the device is rooted and I can see how custom kernels and settings affect battery life and cpu cycles. My LG G4 is the tmobile variant and obviously not currently rooted. I notice through CPUSpy that my cpu speed literally never exceeds 1440mhz.

I don't have any problems with that per say, everything on the device still runs buttery smooth without anything more than the occasional hiccup or lag. I'm curious if anyone else has monitored their CPU speeds and noticed the same thing? I just find it a little interesting.
[G4 General] probaina:
CPU spy can't even see the A57 cores so there's no way it can see what speed it's running at.
[G4 General] coolmaster121:
4 cores are limited to 1.44 the rest are 1.8
[G4 General] RedOCtobyr:
I have not used CPUSpy. But CPU-Z will show you the speed of each of the 6 cores. As mentioned, the last 2 are the only ones I've seen reach 1.8GHz, the first 4 seem to top out at 1.4 GHz.
[G4 General] DRSdroid:
Ok.. Using cpu-z..
[G4 General] RedOCtobyr:
That's how mine looks "at rest". When it's sitting quietly, saving the battery. Crank up some apps, and you should see those clock speeds rise.

But, trying to improve my battery life, and keep the temps down, I've been hoping to see those numbers stay low, not actually show how high they can go :)
[G4 General] DRSdroid:
I agree.. As ive stated, the device runs great i just found it odd. It even calls it a 1.44ghz cpu in the cpu profile and mostly no matter how hard i push the device i cant break that speed
[G4 General] RedOCtobyr:
Right as CPU-Z opens, the clock speeds spiked briefly. I was able to get a screenshot quickly.

Do yours also jump up for a second or two right as the app opens?
[G4 General] the_scotsman:
This has been discussed already. As the previous post shows, they do get to 1.8Ghz when required.

Hi, I'm fan of wallet cases, I've had 2 leather cases for my old xperia Z and already purchased another one for my new z3c.

all of those were some chinese stuff with 3/2 card slots and 1 is transparent for the ID card.

I saw on youtube some cool rugged wallet cases and some non ordinary leather cases like these:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvVNNxCrN0Q

I liked the 3rd (purple), 5th, 8th (green) and the last..

Are there any special cases like these for our Z3c?

Or any branded quality recommended leather cases that are alil bit more attractive then the regular chinese flip books..

I prefer one with option for ID card but any special would be good enough too..

Its hard to search for it because branded are only searchable by the brand name.. which I don't know :P

Perhaps you have some experience..

Thanks !!

Person in the other end(call receiver) is unable to hear my voice properly. Only few times, the voice is clear. Sometimes, I too hear distorted voice in my side. This is a serious issue. You should consider this as High priority bug.

even we have updated lollipop and OTA. But nothing seems not solution for us. kindly tell us where will be the bug? is it in CM11 code base or CM 12 S code base. Either would be the mic or would be in something else?

If you're able to keep it, please do donate it for development. Midget_1990 is the one you want to make arrangements with if you don't mind donating it to the cause.

if you're using the t-mob insurance they'll want the other one back, and make sure if you get it swapped in t-mob store that you take in everything that came with it, to send back, otherwise they'll charge you full retail price! I've found it best to take the unit and new battery from the offered box and leave everything as is.. this from exchanging 3 universals through that scheme..
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mort29:
They definitely will not send you a new battery and yes you will be charged for anything you don;t return.

I had a nightmare year last year with my Universal - without being aware when I knocked it the screen cracked three times. Each time Orange replaced but I life in fear of my Advantage bought from a 3rd party along with a Vodafone contract (T-Mobile doesn't exist around here) which is only on the house insurance.

So please don't post it this subject you're making me nervous!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] apd:
Have you tried approaching one of the mobile phone insurers for your own contract. Phonesafe thru T-mobile charge £8.99 pcm - I wonder if they would provide a policy to you direct. Must be worth trying because your house policy excess may be quite high?

A quick google shows lots of mobile phone insurers - see for example: Mobile Phone Insurer reviews

Maybe then you can read this thread without squirming!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] apd:
I am on my fourth Ameo (1st one GPS stopped), the following ones have all been faulty replacements (until my most recent one, which works).

The point is that when I did the first exchange it was in a T-mobile store and I needed it urgently. The GPS had just stopped working but I did not have the box with me. I asked them to do an exchange on the undertaking that I would bring the box into the store the following week to swap it over. However, when I went in the following week, they said they had sent the other box (i.e. the box from the exchanged one) away and didn't need my box.

The other exchanges have all been through T-mobile's call centre - they send out (by courier) a new handset (not including keyboard, battery, screen protector etc) and take the old one away at the same time. It worked quite well - they given you a morning or afternoon slot, which the courier seemed to stick to. If you don't hand over your handset, they don't hand over the new one!!!

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neky92:
I tried searching if this happens to anybody else, but couldn't find it. Since I updated to lollipop (I put original polish rom first via odin) whenever my auto brightness is turned on, when I wake the phone using home key or power button, my screen turns on with full brightness for a half second or something like that, and than goes back to normal.... I thought it was a bug on polish ROM, so I flashed austrian rom, but no improvement. Now I have custom TW rom, and it is still the same. When I turn auto brightness off, it doesn't happen. So I suspect it to be that screen turns before the light sensor on unlock, and it is set to full brightness always. is there some file I can edit, so screen starts at lowest brightness or delay screen start for half a second so the sensor can start first.

It is killing me when I get a message while sleeping in a dark room, and I want to check it, it blinds me so I wake up, and can't go back to sleep later!!! :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsdouble:
LOL I have the same problem, which is extremely irritating to say the least, but I had no idea that it had to do with auto brightness! I am on latest AryaMod, which is stock TW based ROM, so I guess its a problem of all the TW releases?
