I spoke to LG this morning, and even they were stumped. I was told to expect a level 2 support call Monday.

I may try that TOT if I can back up my apn and efs settings.

just out of curiosity, i think I'm gonna try to change the updater script of the cm12 rom for the g2mini... it's the same device... i just wonder lol
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:
Part of that script is what tells it to install what where. You can steal the updater script from the ZV5 FOTA that I have in the OP.

Someone on AT&T want to take a look at that DLL and KDZ? I'm working on getting the TOT. I haven't been able to find a specific SPRINT KDZ for this POS. It looks like there may never actually be one....but this is what we have, so please, test away and post your results. Links, as always, are in the OP.

the only thing I'm wondering is if i should just use the original boot.img and bump it, or reuse boot.img off my phone.. gonna try to bump it i think.. otherwise we lose all the added kernel features
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:
Yeah, use the ZV6 and bump it. That's what I'm thinking.

can't even get it to flash... giving me an error but won't say what... lol
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
ahh think it has something to do with the checksums in the manifest
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
well i have successfully bricked my device.., i have no way to get back to recovery.... have access to fastboot, but that does no good,,, got a security error after it flashed... i can flash boot.img and recovery.imng via fastboot, but cant actually reboot into recovery, where i could restore...

grrrrr i need a phone for work, to.o.... knew i shouldnt have done that lol
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
well that was ridiculous... could not get into recovery to save my life... finally i was like, why not flash twrp to the boot partition... and bam! instant twrp... that was a close one! thankfully i had enabled fastboot, or i would have been screwed!
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
can't figure out this security error... it starts to boot, as soon as lg screen disappears, a new lg logo appears that says security error... hmmmmm... we are getting closer, tho!
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
can someone please post a copy of the laf partition? it can be done as follows:

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf of=/sdcard/laf.img

it will put a copy onto the root of your sd card.

somehow i deleted my copy, and need it to enable download mode again...

thank you in advance!

Unfortunately the KDZ for the D725 (AT&T Vigor) appears to be the wrong one. It is very old (older than stock), and has a different part number (D725PR), it also shows as a G3 Beat. Right now my phone is almost unusable as Google Play crashes, so I cannot even get apps to install, though it does connect to AT&T's network. I am going to see if their in-store support guys can update me to Lollipop. Thanks though. If someone can get the Lollipop KDZ or TOT it would be appreciated!

Eric
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:
That's because the D725 KDZ is Puerto Rico. It's the best we could come up with. My recommendation is to flash it, take the FOTAs that are offered, and go from there. Clearing data and cache for Play Store may be a good idea as well.

If I can get someone to give me a dump (not a TWRP backup) of their ATT device that would be great. I had to get on an emergency flight to Salt Lake City for work and it's been hectic getting back to my PC. I've been having issues but I'm still working. [MENTION=5369574]dirtyhewr[/MENTION] I'll upload /laf as soon as I get WiFi.

Sent from a potato using Kung-Fu
[G3 General] ke7vng:
Yeah. I did a factory reset, twice, before things settled down. When I try to update the device though, it says that it is up to date. It is working ok for me now though, and that I am glad for. I screwed something up when I rooted stock earlier in the year, and I was afraid that it was never going to work properly again. Thanks for your hard work on this!

Att kdz link broken

Just FYI the link for the .KDZ file for the ATT variant of the Vigor is broken.

The .DLL Link is good.

I have paid $22 dollars for these files below. They are the .bin and .dll files for the ATT variant (D725)

**BUT**

These links are for the Puerto Rican version. I am not sure if it matters or not since I am quite new to the scene. Before I owned this LG G3 Vigor I used a Nexus 5 and assumed that every phone was just as easy to modify. Boy was I wrong. After I obtain these .bin and .dll files I used the LG flash tool and attempted the flash but much to my dismay it stopped at 5% and completely bricked my phone. I tried everything I possible could and searched the internet 20/h a day for a week straight. LOL... but im not joking. I could not find anything and thus I waived my white flag and gave up... I ultimatly sent my phone to LG because it was still under warrenty even though I purchased the phone via https://www.cellularcountry.com/ as an unlocked phone. Now here is a new predicimate that I am in. When LG flashed the factory image they also locked the phone again. FML! Anyways does anyone know how to unlock this phone to use on Verizon? I called Verizon and they tried to walk me through the process over the phone but ultimaly failed, but they said I could take it up to the verizon store and they would be able to do it there. Im just lazy... any infor would help. Thank you in advance. Also here are the links to the tot and dll files that bricked my phone. So if you try them and it bricks your phone you cannot say I didnt warn you and I will not feel bad at all. Lets just say I wont lose any sleep over it. BUT if you are able to use them or you have to modify the files to work please do so we as a community can work together to resove these types of problems...

Help! My daughter's lg ls885 only starts in Android System Recomery

I am completely new to rooting. We used LG One Click Root to root my daughter's phone. Yesterday, she did the android update for stagefright and now when she turns on her phone it goes to android system recovery everytime. Also, the computer doesn't recognize the phone when I hook it up. Can someone please give me step by step directions? Basically one for dummies.....Just want to get her phone usable again.

Thanks In Advance

She has a Sprint lg ls885

hmmm... strange... sounds as if the update got stopped in the middle or something... did u get this fixed yet?
[G3 General] cwiggam:
Working on it now with someone. Will let you know.
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
ok... was gonna say if u can get fastboot enabled, you could flash the recovery for this device (TWRP), and there is a ZV6 stock backup posted on here...
[G3 General] nstant:
so im assuming this thread has died?
[G3 General] cwiggam:
I followed the steps at the beginning of the thread. I ended up getting help from someone over at Android forums. We were able to flash a bootloader so that I could get my phone into download mode. Once that was done, downloaded the tot file, and dll, and lg flash tool. Followed the directions and got my phone back to factory:).
[G3 General] ke7vng:
I don't think that this thread has died. It is just moving slowly as things get worked out. This is a big improvement over even 6 months ago when we finally got root for the D725. Back then there was nothing on here for the Vigor (at least the AT&T version).

I hope that work slows down here soon so I can start helping.

Eric
[G3 General] nstant:
That would be awesome, I'm sitting here with the att g3 vigor with that g3 beat kdz because someone said it was the right one to completely go back to factory so I could get rid of root and take the ota for android 5.0.... Been running this for almost a month now and can't update, just keeps saying there is no available update so I'm stuck on 4.4.2 and can't do **** :(
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
been busy lately... went to start working on compiling again today, to find that the partition i had the source on was corrupted somehow... re-downloading now, and that takes a while... hopefully i can figure out a way to get something other than stock to work on this device...

Keep Up The Good Work

So what is needed for att d725
[G3 General] GoLDeN-WoRLdWIdE:
I saw in the first post in this thread that most of the regular g3 roms aren't compatible. So does that mean some will work? Anyone know which ones will actually boot and work somewhat? Just wondering or am i just reading that wrong? I have a sprint ls885 that is not my primary phone. So willing to mess around with it. I am new to LG. I'm use to Samsung devices.
[G3 General] hyelton:
None. G3 and G3 Vigor are completely different devices.
[G3 General] James101:
I got a d725 att a week ago, and I can't seem to get ota lollipop update. I have tried lg pc suite too. No luck. Is there anything I can do to get the update. I have done several hard resets, with no luck!

thanks
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:
No, the thread isn't dead. It's been mighty slow going for me. I've not been home in a couple months, so I can't even really get rolling on the build for CM. I'm not sure about the work [MENTION=5369574]dirtyhewr[/MENTION] was doing with semi-stock.

If anyone has taken the last Sprint update, do me a solid and throw up a recovery zip somewhere. I'm missing essential Sprint apks and data that'll help when I get to the house.

Now the phone boot wirh LG logo then a blank screen and a red led lghit above the screen

tryed to flash But no luck is there is anything else i can do ?
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
you will probably have to enable fastboot mode so you can flash a recovery... then you can download one if the recovery zips posted here and restore... I think at the beginning of this thread, there is a post showing you how to enable fastboot

actually before you try any of this, turn your device off... hold down power and down button... when the lg logo appears, let both buttons go then hold them down again... if a factory reset screen appears, try to do that... you won't lose root...

i can't remember if it's the down button or not... if after a couple times you don't get the reset screen, try the up button...

i can not access the phone to Enable USB Debugging: the phone get stuck after LG logo

i tryed the ddl who ignors version But he send userdata for 3 sec then restart the phone and wait for him the problem is the phone will go the that blank screen to stuck there again and after 2 min the flash tools says can't find Fboot because timeout ... i miss Odin :/

after you follow this guide...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=62615104

go to download mode... instead of the normal download screen you would see, you will see a couple of commands...

if you have fastboot installed on your pc, you would be able to type fastboot command mentioned earlier...

to get to download mode, turn power off, plug in USB holding volume up, and it will automatically go to download/fastboot mode... if you follow the directions in mentioned thread, it will remove the LAF partition that is "hiding" fastboot mode...

That's what's up. I'd send you my CWM work if I still had it, but I don't, so I cant. If I can get some time to do it, and the stuff to do it with, I will, but this damn job keeps me gone far longer than I'm at home.

I'm not gonna mess with cm yet... gonna see if i can get an aosp running on it first. . cm is a little tricky as far as device trees and stuff... i think the biggest problem we are going to have is the locked bootloader... even tho bump is supposed to bypass it, i have yet to have it work on anything but the recovery for some reason... I'll be working on it this weekend so I'll keep u up to date...
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:
10-4. I just got a cheap laptop to do some basic stuff with given to me, but it's no dev machine. I hate that I had to sell my desktop.

On the plus, rent is paid for a couple months whilst I get money in the bank, but it'll be awhile before I can get back into the game again.

I'm getting back on the road this weekend, but keep us all posted, [MENTION=5369574]dirtyhewr[/MENTION]. If there's anything we can do to help let us know.
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:
In the meantime, I have a curiosity question for you, [MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION]. I saw a kdz/tot unpack program in the G3 forum. Would it be possible to unpack our current tot and update anything with it, such as the radio/modem, Sprint branded APK's, etc., then repack? Thoughts?

i compiled 4.4.2 tonight with the zv6 source... it compiled with no problems whatsoever... tomorrow, or maybe even tonight if i can get my kid to go to sleep lol, i will edit a few things to make it for this device (right now it's tagged as hammerhead)...

i am also going to mess with the kernel to see if i can get that to flash first... maybe add a few different governors...

i have done all this before, but haven't been able to get anything to flash... well, it would flash, but would always give me a security error, even after bumping it... which is strange, since i can get the recovery to flash after being bumped...

i will keep you all informed... if we can get a stock COMPILED rom to flash, then we can start working on a custom rom like ÇM...

---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 PM ----------

@DaemeonZane: I wonder what it is exactly that is keeping you from tethering... i can Bluetooth, USB, and Wi-Fi tether... if we can figure out why you can't and i can, then we can probably fix it.. I'm pretty sure you can backup and flash a modem/radio, so maybe we should look into that...

also, i remember u saying you lost your IMEI... is that still screwed up? and have you tried other tether options? read this:
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
i have compiled a kernel with added governors... both with and without, it flashes, but instead of completing the boot, goes to fastboot... there seems to be a problem with how open bump is getting around the bootloader... either that or the way the image is extracted and recompressed... it's weird that it works for a recovery image, but not a boot image...

i can take a working boot.img, decompress it, not change a thing, and recompress it, then bump it, and it doesn't work... goes to fastboot...

if i do the same thing, and not bump it, i get a security error...

i think bump is working correctly, because if i "fastboot continue" i get a message saying something about "unlocked=1", but it still won't boot...
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
YES!!!

I Have successfully compiled a kernel, added a few basic governors (interactive and conservative) and it boots!

turns out, it was the was it was decompressing and compressing...

i am about to go home, and i am going to add some other governors, and will upload...

for now, you will have to flash with flashify, until i make a flashable zip...

but this is a HUGE step in developing a rom for this device! i now know how to to what i need to do to compile, and bypass the bootloader!

my "hammerhead" stock lg rom is already compiled... i just have to edit a few things to make it for this device... that is my next step after the kernel... to get a stock rom up and running...

It was, and I flashed the KDZ to fix it, which it did. I've tried every actual wifi tether program I can find. The access points often broadcast, with these apps, but routing is all fubar. Even after manually setting my computer IP to the right IP range for the AP, it never connects. It's more of a pain in the ass thing than anything else, but others who flashed the KDZ don't have this issue. I think maybe I'm special, and not in a good way.

Still, I eagerly await your ZV6 build, and I appreciate all the work you have done. I know how it is with 3 year olds, lol.
