[AT&T LG G3] unikorn74:
So, here's the story: I wanted to root my d850 on LP version D85021R, Tried all methods posted here, including this, this, and this. None worked. So I decided to downgrade to KK using tot/kdz method by hyelton. Downloaded LGD850AT-01-V10d-310-410-JUN-19-2014+0.tot file and LG flash tool 1.8.x and flashed the tot file. Progress went above 85% and then phone rebooted, but never came back to life; super-bricked, no led, no boot screen, no download mode, no recovery mode, NOTHING! except that it identified as QHUSB_BULK in Win7, which upon installation of drivers turned to qhsusb_dload 9008. Tried all unbricking methods including Board Diag, Flashtool ,etc. none worked. So I took it to a repair guy, who probably used octopus box to copy image from another g3 (at least that's what I think, he would not let me see but i sort of glanced over). After copying that image to my g3, it turned back to life, i.e., boot screen appeared and download mode/recovery mode worked, but it was in a boot loop. however, that guy also tried flashing V10D using flashtool, and same thing happened, i.e., super-brick again. After a day of trying he gave up on it but was kind enough to give it back half alive. So now boot screen appears, download mode works, gets recognized as LGE Mobile USB Serial Port, and LGE Android MTP Device with a yellow triangle. I cannot access fastboot mode due to locked bootloader, or else I would have tried flashing partition images through fastboot, as bootloader and boot partitions are intact, so I would not touch them but could try flashing other partitions. LG Flashtool flashes the whole package so the boot sector also gets over written, which somehow is not compatible with stock rom. One thing which I have not mentioned is that I did not buy it new but refurb one, so may be some part was changed, but which one, no idea. I tried to get it recognized it in linux, but does not work; shows up as libmtp-1-1 in /dev, which is not mountable. However I was able to pullout one interesting fact, which might give some hint. dmesgs shows a serial number for this device which starts as LGD855xxxxxxx, whereas the serial number printed on the back is different, where it shows as d850 and serial number is also different, i.e., 406KPXVxxxxxx.

Now I am out of options. Can someone please suggest what else to do. Also, can someone confirm that the serial number shown in dmesgs when connected to USB port, starting with LGD855xxxxxx can be a d850?

Any help is welcome :)
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
First off when flashing almost every time it'll fail at 85%. That's normal. Anything after80% is just rebooting of the phone.

Now what your having is not normal. Maybe whatever the repair shop did changed the serial? And your issue usually means your bricked completely sadly.

Before your downgraded, was your phone booting normally or did the root do something to make it originally boot loop before trying to downgrade ?
[AT&T LG G3] unikorn74:
Thanks for replying hyelton. I fully understand that and also that rebooting should bring the phone to blue reset screen, but it didn't. Instead it died.

The serial number and IEMI fortunately are intact, and are read by firmware when present. Sadly I tried to flash the firmware again through Board DL option, but failed again, so back to QLoader 9800 mode. On WinXP, smart boot diagnostics recognized it and proceeded to flash boot/recovery, but sadly the accompanied AP_Chip file neither has D850 nor D855 Smart_Boot.bin files. So I flashed EUR xxxx.xxx version. Phone still dead, but no Qloader 9800 mode, instead Android Phone device started showing up, which had no supported drivers. After some effort, Windows 7 download drivers and it got recognized as AlCatel Android Phone, lol! No adb and fastboot in Windows, and no Serial communication was possible. I tried linux and there fastboot was showing a device without id, like ??????????, but it did allow me to flash individual mbn paritions extracted from D850 tot to their respective partition, but I discovered I cannot flash through fastboot files larger than 2GB, so no system and no userdata; those were erased only. Upon reboot and return to windows, phone is still dead (without any life) and back to Qloader 9800 mode.

So now I'm stuck due to lack of firmware files. I am afraid to flash a boot or recovery partition extracted from any other firmware, but can try D855 since it worked partially to bring download/recovery partitions and LG logo was also displayed upon turning on. I think it even booted basic kernel in download mode, because I was able to send reboot command through Send_Command.exe and it rebooted. So scripting was also a possible option, but not anymore.

Is the partition layout of D850 and D855 available somewhere? I tried to find but could only find for D851. If someone having these variants is willing to help, I'll post the commands to get partitions layout, or even partition images could be created using dd command if phone is rooted.

To your question, no, the rooting methods did nothing. It was working normal. But somehow I came across a lot of threads that suggested hassle-free downgrading to KK for rooting, and pointed to your guide which surely is hassle-free but not for a troubled phone like mine :)

BTW, I do have Flashtool log files for original downgrade and then reflashing yesterday. If someone wants to take a look...
[AT&T LG G3] unikorn74:
Further development: Today I visited the main mobile market in my city, and first went to same shop from where I bought this set. They had a number of other sets in the same batch, so I copied partition tables info and prop files from each device. Also, I had to buy the same set for a friend. I have asked him to lend it over to me for weekend. Now, first I'll try to find the rom versions installed on these sets and see what I can do.

Secondly, is there a way I can copy the whole emmc partitions from alive phone to dead phone? The dead phone can be accessed on serial port. I know I can get partition dumps, but how to write them on bricked phone, that is the question. There must be a software that can access emmc through phone ports and clone it. Help please!
[AT&T LG G3] aamszia:
Flash it to D855 Lollipop version via octopus than write DUMP
[AT&T LG G3] unikorn74:
It does work, indeed. We did it together, didn't we, aamszia? :)

To elaborate further, Aamir helped me out by writing D855 bootloader through octopus box. That was done before but flashing a KK rom again bricked it. Only this time, he flashed a d855 lollipop kdz rom (v20g, if I remember correctly). That made it functional; everything worked, except radio. Flashing a d850 LP radio would not work; flashing a KK radio would brick it. So I took a dump of mmcblk0 from a fully functioning, rooted, recovery flashed LP d850, via terminal using dd command (I chose to write only first 4gb or so due to smaller sdcard I had. That covered all partitions except cache and userdata, which were not needed anyway). Then I wrote back the dump on the bricked d850 using dd command from terminal. I tried flashing TWRP on it first, but somehow it did not work, and gave secure bootloader error. So I had to do it via terminal. I knew once it starts writing, the system would become unstable due to overwriting of partition table, kernel, system, and stuff, but I had to give it a try, and it worked! Screen went off immediately, but I touched it again after half an hour; pulled out and reinserted the battery; tried recovery and there it was. Rest was easy. Just formatted cache and data, and my phone was back to life.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popthosegaskets:
If you know a bit of programming you should be able to find the class or xml that defines the s view event when the flip cover is closed. Just something to get you started.

Hi, last night I downloaded and flashed the rom in this thread. Installed fast and everything seemed to work. After the install I got the notification of the MM 2 stage update. Downloaded the first then went to install and it wouldn't let me. I am unlocked, s-off, current firmware (at&t). I stupidly didn't take a screenshot of the message I got when trying to install. Is it because I'm unlocked or the different CID ? Later tonight I will re-flash the rom and get a screenshot. Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you.

I have Samsung (SM-G900FD) with Lolipop(5.0) and I want to root it without tripping the knox. I have been searching the internet for past couple of days and I have found a way. It involves, among other steps, downloading and installing the "towelroot" apk, but here is the problem. Towelroot method does not work with Lolipop and I have to downgrade the software to Kitkat(4.4.2), the software version my phone came with.

Once again I have searched thoroughly to find a way to downgrade to Kitkat and I came to the understanding that I need to download official KitKat firmware from sammobile and install it manually, but I don't know which firmware to download from the list that appears against my phone's model.

I have following questions:

1. How will I know which firmware to download from the list.

2. Once I have downgraded and rooted my phone, can I upgrade to android 5.0

Here is my device info,

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pmeidl:
I installed the ZMoD ROM by Ziyan a couple of weeks ago on my Galaxy Nexus. works perfect, much faster than CM 10.2 which I used before, and stable with no problems so far.

the only issue I have is that I can't install the Facebook app. when installing via Play Store, I get error 504 (which normally means that there is a network connection error, but that's not the case because I can install other apps just fine).

I then tried to sideload the app using adb, and this is the error I get after the several packages have been compiled:

E/installd( 136): DexInv: --- END '/data/app/com.facebook.katana-1/base.apk' --- status=0x0100, process failed
W/PackageManager( 414): Package couldn't be installed in /data/app/com.facebook.katana-1
E/Finsky ( 1478): [1] 2.onReceive: Error -504 while installing com.facebook.katana: INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT: Package couldn't be installed in /data/app/com.facebook.katana-1: scanPackageLI

E/ActivityThread(19954): Failed to find provider info for com.facebook.katana.provider.AttributionIdProvider

searching the web for this error it seems that one possible cause is that the /system partition is too small, and indeed, there is hardly any space left there. I got an error about this issue when flashing the GApps, so I selected a smaller GApps build to work around it.

any ideas what can be done about this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pmeidl:
solved

ok, I solved the issue. for the record, I did a new install of ZMoD, but this time, I not only did the normal factory reset (i.e. clearing cache, dalvik, data), but also formatted the /system partition. looks like this removed some leftovers from the old CM version which caused the conflict.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
so basically on the Sprint LG G4 (locked bootloader like us with Boost/Sprint) they are able to flash a stock based custom rom via Send_Command with a DD code http://xdaforums.com/sprint-g4/development/zv6-ultrapop-rom-v1-2-ls991-g4-t3211725

so in theory we should be able to do the same since i have flashed the stock rom as well via this method...so i just need help on debloating the stock.img to try this myself...like how would i go about this?
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] DrakenFX:
one way you can do it is as follow:

1- use Link2SDcard to freeze any system app so you will know that is safe to continue and proceed to the next step (just make sure you have a system.img in case something go wrong)

2- debloat /delete those apps (as long is safe and won't to any harm in the future).

3- do as many tweaks as you can and i mean in a way it actually help the device.

4- if you have Xposed running perfectly on your device you can just leave it so other won't have to install it.

5- when you are satisfied on how your device is running with your Tweaks and Non-Essentials app gone just pull SYSTEM.IMG

using ADB and you can share that .img

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's the only safe way i can think on top of my head right now, bcuz you guys don't have a recovery to restore every time something go wrong.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit: you can even create a Script like the One Click Root to flash the SYSTEM.IMG without the hassle of manually doing the whole flashing thing
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
well so far i managed to flash a rooted system.img free of google bloat so i'll upload that soon

BTW: isn’t it enaugh, to solve the above described problem to flash the ori. recovery with fastboot or adb?

i would try:

1.) connect the phone to pc

2.) open the communication to the phone using adb-tool v1.0 ore otherwise with the command "adb

devices"

3.) flashing the recovery with "fastboot flash recovery.img"

4.) and than restarting the phone with "fastboot reboot recovery.img"

ore otherwise

4.) reboot the phone with pressing the 3 right key simultaneously longer than 5 sec. to restart flashing the update.app file.

is that way wrong? Please explain.
[Honor 7 General] buongu:
hey there, someone with better experience than me will surely help you out a lot better, but i can guarantee that the 0.9.9.3 release works :)

just leave "unknown (worstenbrood)" as profile, pick your update.app file, unpack it :)

personally i used the b121 rom, and flashed it on my phone with adb, more or less as you described, loading both recovery.img and system.img from update.app... "fastboot devices" > "fastboot flashrecovery recovery.img" > "fastboot flashsystem system.img".

this did the trick with me :)

Try to extract only these 2 files (system.img and recovery.img) separately.
[Honor 7 General] rotmistr:
For those who will kill their phones without backups:

1. you need to extract boot.mg (usually 10.boot.img) and system.mg (usually 14.system.img)

2. Somehow get into fast boot mode (from TWRP reboot>>reboot into boot loader

3. Connect the phone to the computer and (using platform-tools from Android SDK) from terminal:

fastboot flash boot 10.boot.img

fastboot flash system 14.system.img

fastboot reboot

The version of the ROM is of no importance
