That was the ZV5 update. Our device doesn't even run 5.0 on Sprint, much less Marshmallow... As for the rest, we're slowly plugging along. I had to sell my dev machine and [MENTION=5369574]dirtyhewr[/MENTION] is solo with a 3-year old.

The phone is fairly solid. I give it major points for falling out of an 18-wheeler onto parking lots and barely taking a scratch. As for XPosed, it works just fine. Link2SD also works for those folks who like that, but you'll need a fast, high capacity card to get any real use out of it.

As for battery, it does...ok, as long as you don't do too much in one go. I listen to audiobooks via bluetooth for an entire 11 hour drive shot and usually don't have to worry about charging, as long as I start full. If you use Greenify in conjunction with Amplify, you should be able to get some serious battery time out of it.

The KDZ's for this phone are in the OP. [MENTION=5369574]dirtyhewr[/MENTION] is working hard to get us a stock based ROM to try out, but as we all know, life happens, and these things do take time. Until then, just be patient and watch the thread. As soon as it arrives I'll reorganize the OP to show the ROM.

What's the story on the boot issue?

Sent from a potato using Kung-Fu
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
i have compiled the stock rom... but since we have a recovery that works, and a backup of what basically is stock, i put that on hold... but right now, i actually have a build of cm11 compiling... the recovery built, but i can't seem to get that to work... after looking at other device trees, i managed to pull most of the blobs i think it will need to even kind of run... that wasn't fun... all manual...

however, it's been compiling now for 20 min so hopefully it will complete lol...

then i will try to bump the system image, and flash it directly... and it will boot and we will all have CM! Well, hopefully lol...

as for if it will be a kdz or tot, it will be neither... we will be lucky if i can get it to boot at all, as i am learning all this as i go... but i will eventually put it in a flashable zip, which should be able to be flashed with the TWRP recovery i did get to work...

still compiling! keep fingers crossed!
[G3 General] coliotte:
Awesome meaning my phone have a chance to live after all :D keep up the good work guys and don't forgot to put the donation button you deserve it ;)
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
Donation button? sure! guess it doesn't hurt! lol,. not sure how to do that yet lol
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:
So you have a stock ROM, and now you're doing CM11 as well??? That's grand as ----...well, you get the idea.

If it's not too much trouble, though, do you mind checking your PM in a few?

Sent from a potato using Kung-Fu
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
let's see if this new signature works...

eh guess the button is fine lol....

soooo... after 2 hours of compiling, i didnt notice the power came unplugged, and it shutdown... have to start the build over again,... will keep you all posted...
[G3 General] coliotte:
Lol just my way to thank you
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:

I'm doing everything i can... I'm no developer, that's for sure! but i really like doing this, and love the challenge... I'm learning all this as i go, so it may be a little slow going.... lol... it took me 3 hours earlier to figure out ONE compilation error...

but there is no better way to learn!
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
cm11 compiled all the way to the last step

then got system img too large... too tired tonight \... have to look at the partition sizes...

it compiled at almost 2gigs for some reason! god!
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
ok peeps! i never set the correct block sizes in the BoardConfig.mk... how stupid is that? lol

everything compiled... i also think this is the reason i couldnt get CWM working... making backup now, and getting ready to test...

everything compiled with no errors, so thats a good thing! all images were created... now to test!

think i am actually going to make a flashable zip first to make sure everything goes where it should... get back to yall

soon!

im in the truck at work... im scared to flash this .img right now i need my phone but im sooooo curious
[G3 General] coliotte:
make any tot or kdz rom and i will test it and flash it on my own risk :D
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
that i know of, there is no known program to the public that can make tot or kdz files
[G3 General] br0adband:
CM isn't distributed as KDZ or TOT files anyway, so so so... ;)

It's just an archive flashable with Clockworkmod (CWM) or TWRP as always.
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:
I'll beta test. I'm pretty sure others will too. If anything happens that can't be fixed by a TWRP backup restore, I can get access to a PC long enough to fix it if I have to. It's all good.

Sent from a potato using Kung-Fu
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
hey y'all... ok so i flashed the system.img last night... unfortunately, it didn't boot right up into CM... lol...

i will be taking another look at the build files today to see what is going on... I'm looking at another ROM that was built for the G3S (d620) which is the exact same device... kind of lol...

so as soon as i have a bootable image, i will upload it, and we can go from there...

I'm also going to put the source up on git, so anyone can take a look if they want...
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
OK so I'm gonna just put this in a zip to flash with recovery... i don't think just flashing the system.img is enough...

however, [MENTION=315393]DeameonZane [/MENTION], could u please post a link to that fota update you have? i seem to have misplaced mine lol... i need the updater binary out of it...

gotta work for a while, but will be doing this as soon as i get home...

i will get this to work, guys, if it's the last thing i do lol
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:

ugh... just had to reinstall mint... for some reason, i couldn't log on and couldn't figure out why... which means i have to reinstall everything again... luckily i learned a LONG time ago to keep my home partition separate lol... not too bad all in all... so I'll be back to it in a little bit...
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:
If that ever happens again you can use your install disc to log in to recovery and reset the password, if that's it. Linux is cool like that, and there's other things you can do if that wasn't the issue.

Just as an FYI: the aboot.img and partition list for the Sprint Vigor are now in the OP, at the bottom. I have someone working working on autorec and a couple other things. Will keep you posted.

Sent from a potato using Kung-Fu
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
ok even tho cm compiled, there is something amiss...

cm doesn't like using prebuilt kernels, so it has to be compiled from source...

as i didn't do that the first time, i will have to recompile everything...

i noticed when i took the compiled boot.img apart, it was lacking the jagc components, and was using the default goldfish... so, when i get home today, I'm going to get back at it...

i feel that unless i can actually get cwm recovery to work, we don't have a chance at the rom working...

just a little update for y'all... i know you all want to get rid of this crappy stock rom...
[G3 General] ttstfany:
i use with ls885

I use the method in the ls885 and all good ...:good:

At first I stayed on a blue screen and a number 2 in red but just had to uncheck the "upgrade dll" and mark the other option and ready .. appreciate if you can make it work GSM signal...:o
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:
Well, making the Sprint version work on GSM may not be possible....but there is a GSM version of this phone.

[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
still working on it... it's crazy trying to backtrace and figure out what to try next to get this to work...

I'm looking at the kernel now... i think it is the souce of all the trouble somehow lol...
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:
What's the issue, exactly?

Edit: What I mean is, is it giving you a security error? Not booting at all? I may be able to get you some help if I know what exactly is happening. That way your load is lightened a bit and you don't have as much to worry about.

Sent from a potato using Kung-Fu
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
no I've made it past security... it's just not booting... and if i make it flashable, it won't even try to flash with twrp, so I'm trying to get cwm going... i know there are some roms that need to be flashed with cwm only...

i just noticed something tho... i decompressed the twrp image to look at something, and there is still a tag of jagn in there... this could be part of it...

however, even flashing the system image directly didn't work... bit I've recompiled the kernel with jagc defaults (it was compiling with goldfish defaults because i missed a uncommenting variableso that was a problem)...

but I'm getting there... had to take daughter to a princess party tonight but will be back at it soon...
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
another thing i cant figure out is that when it compiles, it doesnt make a dt.img with it like it should...
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:
You can manually make that dt.img. Basically you will only need your kernel sources and the dtbTool binary, that's it. There's a command you issue to it, but i can't remember what it is. As for the rest....I'm betting that jagn tag is messing with it for sure.

I wish I had a computer on the truck, I'd take a look at what you have and try and help.

Sent from a potato using Kung-Fu
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
yea i just used the dt.img from the kernel because i couldn't get the dtbTool to work... the jagn thing is fixed now and it still doesn't flash... errors out but won't give me a reason... which really sux..
[G3 General] br0adband:
So I grabbed that D725 from the pawn shop earlier, had purchased an unlock code a few days ago and it worked as expected. The irritating thing at the moment is that even though AT&T and T-Mobile share some LTE bands (2 and 4) and the Vigor supports both of them, I'm not able to get the LTE support functional. In fact, here's the oddest thing of all and something I've never seen before on any Android smartphone that I've ever owned (over 80):

Notice what's missing there? The in-place drop down menu that allows me to select the preferred network type - it should be there directly below the "Number of PPP reset since boot: 0" line but it's not, it simply doesn't exist at all in this ROM. Now I have to wonder if there's an option in the boot parameters (the build.prop file) that I can adjust to get that option back and get LTE enabled.

I've used various tools to access that menu and nothing provides me the ability to switch from what is probably WCDMA preferred to LTE/WCDMA for T-Mobile (which is what usually works best). I'll do more research into this but it's definitely the oddest thing I've found so far.

It's an LG device like many others I've owned, nothing really special but I wasn't expecting to be surprised. The 1GB of RAM definitely hampers performance all around of course - a 2GB version of this device with 16GB internal storage would have been nearly perfect for me, honestly, and it's a damned shame LG didn't offer that for a $350 retail price because it sure as hell could use it.

Not sure if I want to get the Lollipop update - I don't use AT&T and apparently unless I stick an active AT&T SIM card in here I can't get the FOTA update, don't see it posted anyplace since this is the AT&T model and it seems nobody really gives a crap about this one. All the development (or what there is of it) is focused on the Sprint model which is fine, I'll probably just sell this Vigor for a small profit soon enough anyway. ;)

Can anyone else with the D725 check that menu (can be accessed using *#*#4636#*#* from the dialer then select Phone info) and see if yours is the same, and can Sprint owners check theirs as well (might require an app to get that menu, not sure if Sprint has their Vigor locked down to prevent dialer codes)?

Would be interested in other people's experiences with this issue.
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
i need to put this **** on git so you can lol...
[G3 General] br0adband:
Not sure what LG did for AT&T but apparently it seems this D725 cannot make use of LTE with T-Mobile in spite of sharing the same bands (2 and 4). Somehow they've got it programmed so that the "roaming bands" which are anything not from AT&T are 1/3/7 which really blows massive chunks. These kinds of artificial BS limitations are why I tend to hate most companies and I should have known better (and paid better attention) and just passing on this thing when I had the chance.

So it's up for sale now since I'm pissed about the LTE situation, this is the first device (of the many I've owned as noted) that would not work directly with LTE so from now on I suppose I'll have to double and even triple verify things across the board with respect to any new(er) devices I end up being interested in.

What a waste. :(
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:
Dude. That blows major ass. One thing I wanted to ask you, though. If you're gonna sell it, why not flash the firmware in the OP and try again. I've noticed some interesting changes between factory firmware and those TOTs, and it may resolve your issue if it's software and not hardware related. May being the key word. Before you do that, to help the community would you mind backing up your system.img and your recovery.img, along with your aboot, boot, and laf?

If not, I need ANY ATT user on any firmware to hook that up and get the links posted so that I can get you autorec, and a few other goodies I've got friends working on. Thanks.

[G3 General] DaemeonZane:
Yeah, but I don't have access on the road just yet. I'm waiting on a 1200 watt inverter for my rig so I can hook up the computer I did get.

Still, github that **** and we can probably get more help from the community at large.

[G3 General] br0adband:
Well sonofabitch... ;)

Since I'm reckless more often than not I decided once again to just go ahead and take a chance on that Puerto Rican KDZ and what do you know:

The previously non-T-Mobile LTE capable D725 is now magically a fully T-Mobile LTE AWS capable device. :D

It's very clean as expected, no AT&T bloatware anywhere to be found obviously. Identifies as the D725PR as expected also, but LTE is working just fine. That speed test was from inside my apartment so I would presume it'll go up if I step outside since I'm literally LoS to the tower here in downtown Las Vegas. The option to choose the network type is available now as well under Mobile networks - it wasn't there with the factory AT&T firmware (last picture).

The Phone info page accessed with *#*#4636#*#* doesn't work and crashes out with the typical "This application does not work on this device." error - the other options do. Also, under Mobile Networks it did pull some APN data from my T-Mobile SIM card but I had to manually add the one for LTE support (fast.t-mobile.com) - the icon in the notification bar only shows 4G as noted in the screenshot but it is most definitely in LTE mode. Previous HSPA+ speed tests maxed out at roughly 8-9 Mbps down and about 1-2 Mbps up - obviously I'm doing much better now.

Here's the coolest part: right now I don't even have T-Mobile service at all. I'm using a completely unactivated microSIM in this G3 Vigor because T-Mobile is awesome: even without actual service you can still put one of their SIM cards in a device, call them (611) to set up service on the very device that's not activated yet and even run speed tests using the Speedtest.net application (you'll have to use Wi-Fi to get your Google account set up and then install the app, of course, since you don't have active cellular/data service).

Hell, I've run like 7GB of speed tests in the past 2 days with this unactivated T-Mobile SIM card I'm using, it's one of my spares I bought when they were selling them for $.99 recently.

Not bad, not bad at all.

I'm still going to sell the Vigor, of course, but at least now the next owner will be a lot happier for it considering it's been "unrestrained" more or less. :)

EDIT:

Sold it, so now moving on to the next device when it comes along...
