[P3600 Software Upgrading] BiBite:
I've checkedout the linux kernel sources and installed the ARM toolchain from handhelds.org.

The kernel compile fines:

make htctrinity_defconfig
make

After copying the zImage file created, I tryed to launch it with Haret (also recompiled from latest sources). Since the Trinity seems to be not supported "out of the box", I had to set set the RAM start address and the mahchine type:

set RAMADDR 0xa0000000
set MTYPE 0x000004C9
set KERNEL zImage
bootlinux

The result is the screen gets black as soon as Haret jumps to the kernel... (see attached Haret's log).

Any hints on how to have more debug from the kernel ?

Where the console is supposed to be displayed ?
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Shadowmite:
A big problem appears to be the fact that our device and the hermes use the SD driver in the ATI chip, not the friendly PXA27x drivers most others use. This is causing all sorts of headaches for the guys working on it and as I understand it they really need someone who can write a driver from scratch for it.

I personally thought about working on this and almost started (got a haret patch at least) and then decided that without a hardware keyboard this is gonna utterly SUCK for debugging and testing. As much as I hate to say it, I'm gonna wait for the kaiser to play with getting linux fulling running on the device. Then again, that's gonna suck since it uses a wacked cpu compared to any other... :(

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdinc:
Hi,

As the title says:

Have a Nexus 5 running the latest lollipop build that has been working properly for a while (Phone is a Google refurb from November 2014, replacing my original N5 that had battery issues; Warranty expired Feb 2015)

4 days ago, it randomly rebooted and then got stuck on the "Optimizing apps" page on initial bootup - would never go past a certain app number

First tried wiping cache - which didn't complete even after 48 hours

Next tried full wipe from recovery, which worked but then shutdowns still happened

Reflashed all stock images (Phone is stock, not rooted) last night - problem still exists with random shutdown - but I can always get past initial setup; shutdown problems happen a little while later during use

Wiping cache from recovery now gives a "Could not mount /cache/" error in recovery

My hypothesis - that there's sector(s) on the eMMC that's borked. It's a 32GB phone - is there a way I can flag off a certain sector as "bad" and put the cache partition somewhere else? Also open to other suggestions, including replacing the eMMC chip if needed (I can find someone set up for BGA work).

I considered doing a file check from Philz / TWRP, but since the issue persists after a full reflash/reformat I assume that it's not a software bug.

Thanks in advance for the help, let me know if there's any other information I can provide that might be useful.

After you've done some homework (a lot), if your still stuck, you can ask for help in that section.

Good luck
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tb5...:
When can we expect to start seeing roms for the note4 line?

:confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toss3:
Probably after the launch of the Note 5. Samsung are sneaky like that.. :cool:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tb5...:
oh k, so a month or so, that's not too bad... i guess.

i've seen a lot of hate towards samsung for not giving the note4 line any update lovin'

hope you are right though.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Drizzy xS:
Tbf they deserve hate they completely messed the note 4 around with 5.0 with even the note 3 getting it before I'm sure, as well as the s5. Now I'm pretty sure the s6 and s5 have 5.1 lollipop and one of Samsungs most expensive phones the note 4 doesn't even have it yet even though it is plagued with issues, cough cough battery, lag, recent apps lag.

It's not exactly an acceptable way to treat your consumer base when like me we paid 650 pound out right for the phone.. Which is a hell of a lot of money I might add, I'm half tempted to just get the s6 if they're just going to screw the note 5 around like this
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RiverCity.45:
When Samsung/your carrier announes its release. Otherwise, it's just endless guessing. This happens with every new update. Pointless speculation.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] avercros:
My old z2 is now with 5.1.1.

My last samsung phone, i am going to buy a one plus two or a moto x play/style.

Note 4, the 600+ usd phone that is abandoned.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toss3:
It's just a bit weird that the note 4 hasn't gotten the update yet, when the Note Edge has. Something fishy going on and I guess it's Samsung assuming people will switch to the Note 5 just to get 5.1.1. :cool:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] The Divide:
This is my last Samsung phone too due to the update schedule too
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tb5...:
this is why i asked... friends z2 got the update too. [MENTION=980049]Toss3[/MENTION]

ain't nobody switching to note 5, there is nothing there to move on to... other than 5.1.1

the phone looks, meh...

the 4 is still a great device,

hope it releases soon, so we can see some roms drop.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] danterape:
Maybe noone cares about what I'll say, but its my last Samsung phone. Come on, my last Note 2 was an epic telephone. This note 4 is dissapointing. And 5.0.1 is a failure. Battery drain, lags, etc. Even root and deleting some ****ty systeminstalled apps doesnt help him much... I think about the downgrading.

I hope the Snapdragon will get the update.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toss3:
Sammobile isn't Samsung and it was just some insider info that could have changed after Samsung decided to launch the note 5 early. BTW BOG1 is damned smooth and the recent apps lag is almost completely gone. :good:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Yathani:
I tried it and didn't notice any difference. It was full of bloatware and carrier boot image.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toss3:
Try wanam's version with the correct modem+bootloader and googy-anas's kernel.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
Some real drama queens around here. You know what is funny about updates? If they arrive quickly they are usually buggy and people complain OR they arrive slowly with minimal bugs and guess what? People complain.

Samsung has not given a proper date of when 5.1.1 will arrive, end of July was not an official statement at all.

I am on NEE POF2 5.0.1 on my N910F and it is running beautifully, no lag, battery is great even when using Download Booster with LTE & WiFi. The phone is stable.

My mother's month old S6 has just died and may require a motherboard replacement, same with her colleagues S6 Edge, both on 5.0.2, yet my Note 4 has been with me since launch with very usage and abuse and not yet failed me.

Blame Google, as even 5.1.1 doesn't fix most of the 5.0 Bugs, so I am guessing that Samsung is trying to patch everything up themselves.

We have not been abandoned.

Phone was soft bricked, was not moving beyond fast boot.

Phone used to get stuck at LG logo, and led would blink and change colors

Phone would go to fastboot mode if i tried recovery mode

and in fastboot mode the driver was not being recognised by my pc hence downloaded pda net, driver issue was resolved

used minimal adb and fastboot and had d802 firmware downloaded >> flashed boot,aboot and recovery img files. last step was fastboot reboot

PHONE TURNS OFF

AND THEN TURNS ON TO WEIRD COLOR BARS. NO LG LOGO. No Fastboot. No Recovery mode, Nothing. volume + power, normal power button etc all bring the screen to colour bars

Anyone knows how to resolve this?

Ok this is really bugging the crap out of me. Last week I was messing around with my phone trying out the alarms that come with the standard rom, nothing special. I renamed one of the alarms "Travel" and set it to go off at 6:15am every morning of the week. I tried it out and it worked fine, etc. Long story short, now the stupid alarm is going off every morning, even though I unchecked it and even unselected every day of the week under the alarm properties. Any ideas???????

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMG1961:
My wife killed her phone. She had romboons 30 installed with dorimanx 4.2 kernel and blastagators twrp 2.8.7.1

She then started installing other roms and now the phone is stuck at lg logo bootloop. I tried every button combination to get into recovery but notting :(

Tried download mode but it says rooted and freezes.

I am running linux lite 2.4 and am not that experienced at it.

My wife knows that its her own fault that the phone doesnt work anymore but is there a way to get it back to life again?

Thanks a lot for your help

Edit: Been trying to get into recovery mode for the past 3 hours. tried all combinations but notting. I only am able to get into a screen for hardware buttons. Download mode doesnt work either. phone is detected by linux when i hook it up.

I think the wife finally completely killed the poor phone :( It does not want to go into recovery :(

Well will mean that i will have to learn how to live without a phone cause she already took mine as replacement.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMG1961:
I have been able to get into recovery after several hours and installed new rom. So this can be closed and if you want even be deleted
[Verizon LG G4] Enzopreme:
Everyone was talking about wanting, or needing root or their bootloader unlocked, now that we have root, you can hear a mouse fart in our forum. Let's get some ROMS or kernels, and xposed mods going! Where's the excitement people!?!? Lol
[Verizon LG G4] nrage23:
Locked boot loader means no roms.
[Verizon LG G4] Enzopreme:
That's not true. It means no kernels... There's things like safestrap that allow you to flash a ROM to a different partition, and select either stock, or (ROM name here) from initial boot-up.
[Verizon LG G4] Enzopreme:
The ROM is just the body of the car, (what we see), but to access the motor, (everything that makes what we see actually happen), that requires bootloader unlock ?.
[Verizon LG G4] Dennisg34:
We JUST got root. How about waiting a week for this stuff? Jeeze

Sent from my G4 using your mom
[Verizon LG G4] nrage23:
We have no safestrap (developer bailed), loki, or bump. So no custom roms yet. Some devices cannot flash anything without unlocked bootloader. We have only had root a couple of days things will come. I should have been more clear in my previous post, I forgot this is XDA where everyone knows everything already.
[Verizon LG G4] sourav5780:
if I root my stock ui and modify with gravitybox and other xposed tweaks, will it effect on ota update?
[Verizon LG G4] grimjeeper:
Root is all I need, I don't need fancy roms and such.
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
Without custom recovery we may not get Xposed, hence no gravity box, but we can hope they get a non-recovery version working on the G4.

If you are rooted and run Xposed you NEED to freeze the OTA update checker, otherwise prepare for a bricked device after an update.
[Verizon LG G4] sourav5780:
now what if I unroot?
[Verizon LG G4] eraursls1984:
Why would we need a custom recovery for Xposed? I only rooted my G3, nothing else, and I'm using G3 TweaksBox just fine.

All I need on the G4 is a new, updated TweaksBox and I'm good to go. Between that and titanium backup I have my G3 running perfect.
[Verizon LG G4] hsomnus:
TWRP Recovery has been released for carrier branded devices as of a few hours ago
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
Currently Xposed for 5.1 requires you to flash it from a custom recovery. 5.0 was simply a file you installed.
[Verizon LG G4] Dennisg34:
Only the 815/811 have recovery
[Verizon LG G4] flamadiddle:
If you consider this forum silent, I'd hate to see what you think is active.
[Verizon LG G4] madmaverickmatt:
Cool. Soon though I imagine.

Thanks
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
We need a bootloader unlock or a workaround like bump on the G3, I haven't heard of any progress with this yet but I'd love to be proven wrong.
[Verizon LG G4] HLyons:
I think the main theme here is be patient. We could not have ANYONE working on anything for this phone. Root is awesome. Hopefully bootloader unlock is released soon.
[Verizon LG G4] STIKID:
I think the same patients. We just got root im sure they have been working toward a work around since the phone has been released. So eventually if its possible someone will find an exploit i just hope eventually they find something that works for all current versions.

Sent from my VS986
[Verizon LG G4] eraursls1984:
I'll be fine once we can get Xposed TweaksBox. That's all I'm waiting for before I jump to the G4 from the G3.
[Verizon LG G4] player911:
Like all LG phones with locked bootloaders, there is always a way. With the LG G2, we simply rooted then used Flashify to flash TWRP to the recovery partition. Plus the entire root method requires flashing a whole custom system image. If we can flash a system image from the low level COM port then we should be able to flash a recovery.

With the G2 (I only reference it because thats what I came from), the Verizon model was kinda slow. Each variant is different. CDMA models (Sprint/Verizon) are very different. The Verizon was VERY DIFFERENT. Fortunately this gen, the G4 really isn't so much different other then the radio. Typically on the GSM models there is 1 rom for Tmobile/AT&T/International... and then a separate one for Verizon.

Once they figure out a custom recovery, smaller devs can start porting roms and testing. The first thing I am looking forward to is just a Clean Stock Rom.

It'll happen, it just requires a little time. Maybe the silence (I know what you are talking about) is a good thing. Maybe that means everyone is off taking advantage of root privileges and developing stuff.
[Verizon LG G4] Enzopreme:
@ the time of posting, it was silent.
[Verizon LG G4] flamadiddle:
"@ the time of posting" was less than 24 hours after the root method was posted and there were already 48 pages of posts on the root thread. I don't know how fast you think ROMs can be made, but we need some sort of bootloader exploit/workaround in order to load ROMs before that process can even start. And like I said, I'd hate to see what you think is active, if ~480 posts in 24 hours is "silent."
[Verizon LG G4] Enzopreme:
+1..... I already have the g4..... Xposed access is all this phone needs, Roms are nice, but until then I can deal w xposed tweaks. Phones fast enough, and the battery is great, a few xposed tweaks would have this thing running cherry...
[Verizon LG G4] Enzopreme:
^^^This^^^
[Verizon LG G4] elliwigy:
really someone could make a rom before even obtaining root.. they just cant flash or test it until root/way to flash it exists.. most rom devs wait however until after root because sometimes it can be forever and its not fun to waist time for root to never come lol

Extreme Syndicate
[Verizon LG G4] flamadiddle:
I can't imagine why anyone would do this. I've certainly never seen it happen. What would they base the rom on?
[Verizon LG G4] elliwigy:
you can pull stock rom files and build a rom at any time.. you just cant flash it or test it etc. until root/recovery is available..

i never said it makes sense just that its possible..

for example, for samsung devices you can use kies/smart switch to download the full rom image and do what you want with it but until flashfire/root happens its pointless..

i think most do not do this because theres no guarantee if/when a phone will be rooted so usually roms dont come out until afyerwards for this reason.

Nice to see you in these parts! Loved your work with the S5
[Verizon LG G4] elliwigy:

Extreme Syndicate
[Verizon LG G4] flamadiddle:
I heard that. I still have my S4 as a "backup." Couldn't say goodbye to that fine phone.
[Verizon LG G4] KaHOnas:
I almost bought a VS986 today. It seems that between the VZW rebate, $300 phone credit, and the LG $200 rebate, you could essentially get the G4 for free. However, if I can't load a custom ROM with the bootloader still not being unlocked, I'm passing. I've been waiting for two years for the bootloader on my S4 (MK2) to be unlocked and I don't see a need to upgrade to another non-modifiable phone.

I miss my custom ROMs. I tried SafeStrap but just wasn't happy with it. I want a pure ROM load. So, I will continue to wait.

Unless you know something I don't.
[Verizon LG G4] KennyG123:
Why are you not looking at one of the Nexus devices? Verizon has locked down just about every other phone..they even block HTC from using HTCDev to unlock.
[Verizon LG G4] KaHOnas:
Honestly, because of the price. I figured I'd be able to get a G4 pretty inexpensively and modify it with a custom ROM. I have definitely noticed that VZW is locking their (screw you, VZW, it's mine) phones pretty tightly. I've never had a problem modding my HTC handsets but that was a few years ago.

You are absolutely right. A Nexus device might be my only option now.
[Verizon LG G4] spotmark:
When a phone goes this long without being unlocked, chances are it won't be, and even if it is, most developers have probably lost interest at this point.
[Verizon LG G4] petermg:
very true. Sadly.
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
What is the $300 phone credit and $200 LG credit? Are you talking about the "Up to $300" for trading in your phone at Verizon? You could always sell your old phone anyways, they will give you more than Verizon will generally. Is the $200 credit a mail in rebate of sorts?

I went from the G4 to the 6P and love it.
[Verizon LG G4] benjamminh:
I got $300 for an HTC rezound if that gives you some idea plus an instant $100 off plus $200 rebate from LG.
[Verizon LG G4] KaHOnas:
No, I know they've always done that. A friend actually went to Wal-Mart and bought a couple no-contract smartphones for about $20 a piece and immediately turned them into VZW for the full $300 credit. They were going to give me a $300 credit for my old HTC Eris and Incredible 2 (neither of which I will not be rid of). Ultimately, if you work it right, you can get the phone for free. I'm tempted to get it anyway and wait for bootloader unlock if it looks likely.

Of course, I heard the same thing about the S4 two years ago.
[Verizon LG G4] nrage23:
I got a 128gb Graphite Nexus 6P on Monday and it is a spectacular phone. Finally a Nexus with a great camera. It is not better than the G4 but is very good.

Anyone ever play with the Stock Recovery USB Debug Mode?

I just went to factory default my device by VolumeDown + Power from a cold boot, and there are a few options in there I didn't see before. Clear Cache, Factory Reset, and USB Debug Mode.... I am not sure ADB would work from recovery.
[Verizon LG G4] dbpaddler:
you sell a crap phone. I picked up a bunch of Kyocera Hydro's for netflix promo from radio shack a bit ago. On top of that, you can double dip on the $300 credit because you get the one when you buy the phone and then a 2nd when you activate the phone via a text message. So that's $800 on a $425 purchase since Verizon has the $100 off coupon code. Add to that money from cashback sites, and it's purely a money maker. Then you can outright buy whatever phone you like.

Anyone else having trouble sending MMS since updating? I know for a fact I sent picture messages to two different people on June 30th (before update) and they worked fine. Tonight was the first I tried since updating to 5.1 and it came back saying there was an APN setting error in NextSMS, and it also didn't send while using the stock messaging app... I tried sending it to my own Google Voice number, however, and it worked.

Is this a problem with 5.1, or maybe just the person I'm sending it to? I'll try sending to the person who I know it worked for tomorrow (too late tonight).
