Thanks for root!!!! Only challenge I am having on my T-Mobile version is that when downloading apps they get to around 80 percent then hang.

Copy stock image to internal storage before rooting?

I had no problems rooting my phone, but I would advise anyone about to try this to copy the stock image to their internal storage before trying this.

It seems like most people who've made mistakes are stuck because they can't return to stock - the phone isn't bricked, they can enter download mode, but not boot. So they simply have no way to get the stock image copied onto the internal storage, and you can't mount the external through the send-commands tool.

So seems like it would be very wise to copy the stock image to the internal storage alongside the rooted one just in case something goes wrong...

I found instructions to extract a the system img file from the kdz. Haven't tried it (don't need to since it worked for me and I didn't know any better at the time) but am I correct in thinking this should be possible and would help avoid these situations?

My LG G4 Sprint after making the procedure fails when you turn on the LG logo

Pure gold, worked like a charm!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mejilan:
Apologies if this was already answered or you figured this out, but I was having a very similar issue with my G4 a week or two ago when looking into unlocking my H815 via LG's dev site. A regular USB connection to the phone worked just fine after installing the LG drivers, but fastboot mode was a constant issue. Showed up as "Android" with a yellow exclamation point in my Windows 7 device manager. ADB recognized the phone. Fastboot consistently failed to find any connected devices.

I solved this by downloading the Android Studio SDK from Google and downloading the optional Google USB drivers. (You could probably make do with just the SDK Manager component, which I think is available as a separate download). Google USB Driver is available under Extras. Then I returned to device manager, right clicked on the Android device (while in Fastboot mode, where the issue was occurring), clicked on Properties -> Update Driver -> Browse my computer for driver software -> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer -> Have Disk -> and browsed to the Android Studio subfolder where the SDK Manager dropped the Google USB Driver files. For me, I started browsing the custom (non-default) folder I had installed Android Studio to and from there Android/sdk/extras/google/usb_driver

Once I had finished with this driver installation, my Windows 7 PC would successfully recognize my phone both as a normal Android device (via the LG drivers) and as a proper Android fastboot device (when in download mode).

The only thing in the .tar file is "vs98611a". Should it be renamed to system.rooted.vs98611a.img?

FM Radio on rooted AT&T G4?

Hi All,

Now that we have root access, is there a way to enable FM radio on the AT&T version of the G4? I've read various posts about Sprint phones being able to use the radio, and of course the international versions being able to use it, so it seems like the chips are just disabled by the carrier and not totally missing. I've tried NextRadio, but I get the message about your carrier disabling access to the radio.

Since I'm coming from HTC phones (M7 and M9), which are pretty easy to root and install custom ROMs on, I have to admit I'm not 100% up on what you need root access for and what you would need an unlocked bootloader and custom ROM for.

Please also know that I do use apps like TuneIn to listen to radio stations, so it's not a matter of not knowing how to get access. I just really like the lower battery and data use of true FM radio.

Thanks!

Does doing a factory reset and flashing the stock unrooted KDZ set your phone's status back to "Official" instead of modified? Just noticed a couple of dead pixels on the screen and I'd like to send it in for warranty replacement. Normally they cover dead pixels regardless of phone status, but I just want to play it extra safe. Does anybody know?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truckerdewd:
When you extract the. img, it will or should be named correctly. It will say "system.rooted.phonemodel.img" without quotation marks. It will definitely end in .img but you have to extract it not unzip it.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corywf:
Ahhh you have to do a "open with" on the the vs98611a file with 7zip as it doesn't have a file extension. Then the system.rooted.vs98611a.img file is there. My phone is on 10b, should I upgrade to 11a before rooting or doesn't it matter?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truckerdewd:
I did the "extract here" option with 7zip on both files to get the .img. From everything I have read, you should update to the most current because people have had booting issues if they weren't up to date like boitloops, etc. I'm on Tmobile and had no issue with being on the newest version, only issue I had was that I wasn't paying attention and put the. img on my external instead of internal memory and root didn't work. Realized it when I saw it on my external.

So even with an image, we would need to be able to copy it onto the phone in order to flash it right? So far I haven't found a way where we can copy over the image file to the phone via the serial connection that we have. I also don't think we can mount the SD card from download mode either. Unless there is a way we can flash the system partition back without copying the file over?

Correct. You are essentially overwriting system files with a "pre-rooted" image of your phone's system partition, so files/settings will remain intact if done correctly.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roosta:
Yes mate that's correct, my post is for the dual SIM users only. NOTE when I rooted my H818P (bought in UAE), I was using an .IMG file autoprime obtained from another user whose H818P was from Indonesia, didn't make the slightest of differences.

Both my phone and the image I used were v10d. I can't say I know enough information about the LG phones or the dev root process developed by these guys (I'm more familiar with Samsung and Chainfire methods ins and outs!), however if you browse XDA a bit, I'm sure you'll find a method of extracting your own system image so it can be rooted for you, before you flash it back to the phone.

Battery life on this phone is actually quite good, especially compared to the nexus 5. I'm not sure it's having a massive negative effect but the wakelock WifiOffDelayIfNotUsed seems to be running for an unnecessary amount of time, and all gains to battery life are not unwanted. Searching both this site and Google seems to indicate this wakelock exists to sleep the WiFi connection after a certain time period.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] B33LZ3BUB:
Hallo,

i have been trying recovering my brother's Sony Xperia T for some time now.

Today i decided to create a thread because i have absolutely no clue how to proceed and i need some assistance.

Here is what was before the brick:

I installed the latest snapshot build cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-mint.zip from download.cyanogenmod.

My brother used it with pleasure until experiencing some minor issues like icons dis- and appearing again. But thats not the main issue.

The main issue:

Then one day the phone got into the state, where it is not rebooting correctly.

Unfortunately my brother can't remember what exactly happened, but he thinks the battery was low.

So this is not an uncommon issue as we now.

What i tried to solve the issue:

I basically tried every solution i found related to this problem and especially focused on the "[GUIDE] Recover 2012 and newer XPERIAs from SOFT-brick".

Yesterday i did the following.

I removed the battery and waited 5 minutes.

Then i inserted the battery again.

As im able getting into fastboot mode i flashed the boot.img of cm-12-20150715-NIGHTLY-mint before trying to start the phone again.

That worked fine again, as i already tried to solve the issue by flashing a new kernel from a cm build. But this time i removed the

battery before that to release all the energy in the chips.

After flashing i waited an hour before starting the phone.

So i pressed the start button and the red led starting blinking twice again of course.

Between the first contact to the issue and yesterdays try to solve the problem, i also tried the hard and soft reset, holding the power button with the rubber and stuff.

Maybe havent done all my "solutions" in the right order? I dont now.

The current state:

After the disappointment from yesterday i connected the phone to a wall charger for the night, where it is still connected right now.

I noticed an interesting thing after my latest experiments...

So the phone seems to be switching between red led and green led now. But thats a thing that i noticed before the first start after the flash yesterday i think.

There is definately no hope for me that it will boot correctly when i press the start button.

But maybe that has a meaning to you.

Here is what i noticed right now while writing the post:

So after switching from red to green led i looked at the circle.

The green led is lighting for 5-8 seconds and turning off.

After 2 seconds its turning on again.

This i repeating about 8 times until the red led is lighting again.

The red led i lighting for minutes.

What is important:

While recovering from this annoying state it is important no to delete the user data from my brother. There is some personal stuff he would rly like to keep.

Recovering this data is more important to him than saving the phone.

I would like to solve both issues.

Do you have any idea what to try. Please take my hand and guide me.

Thank you!
