[General Questions and Answers] acjwalker:
I am trying to unroot my m8 and I have found a tutorial with correct way to do it. I have to copy a file into the root of my internal storage called TWRP but it is not there. I used it to root my phone and I can load it. The folder just doesn't exist. I try and make one but it will make one but not name it.

Help would be greatly appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] TechMinerUK:
The TWRP folder can only be accessed through a folder explorer app like RootExplorer or ES File Explorer as the folder is not on the devices "SD card" storage. To move a file there you will need to copy it to your phones SD Card space using your computer and then move it across to the TWRP folder using a file manager like the ones mentioned above.

Hope I could help and feel free to ask if you need any more advice on moving the files across :)

anyone know of a way to root the lte version/?

blu vivo air lte root

Hi, I faced the same problem. I need to enable lte band 3 (1800 mhz). Is it hardware or software issue?

Appreciate any hints or comments.
[Blu Vivo Air] Dirtydarko:
So has anyone tried to unlock additional LTE bands, specifically band 17? If this is possible using this method I'd love to get this phone. Otherwise it's not worth it on AT&T. If someone can confirm that this works that would be awesome! Thanks very much.

Same boat here - just got my Vivo Air LTE today and as it's such a stunning device I really want to make it my new daily driver. As such there are a few things I want to change that I need root for, namely the ability to change the DPI scaling so I can essentially get more space on the display as I'm used to my previous Nexus 6 and it's 1440p display.
[Blu Vivo Air] rosscarlson:
Well it seems I'm just stupid. I tried KingRoot and had no luck but didn't realize it was an old version. I went to the site (www.kingroot.net) directly to install the latest and bingo, worked like a charm. Now that it's rooted I was able to change the DPI to make everything smaller so I can effectively get more screen space. Given I'm used to 6" devices things are a bit smaller than I'd like but not too small. All-in-all it's now the greatest device I've ever used.

Hi,

I hope this helps someone, this is the content of the readme.txt file that I have included in the attached file.

LS980 TWOCLICK UNLOCK/RESTORE TOOL

==================================

This tool is based on summer.cat's ONECLICK tool, most credits go to him!

I didn't like the idea of not understanding what ONECLICK tool's .exe was doing with my phone, and I disliked not being able to restore my phone back to normal CDMA operation.

Most of the time I use the phone in the US with Freedompop, but I also wanted to:

- be able to use my T-Mobile GSM SIM as a backup

- being able to use an European SIM when I visit my family in Spain. Plus, I want to be able to change the SIM right when I arrive to the airport without using a computer!

I was able to find ONECLICK tool's original .bat file (the .bat is stored in \AppData\Local\Temp while running the original simfree.exe, it creates a temporal folder). Using his method as the starting point, I have prepared two shell scripts, one to "unlock" and another one to " restore". The "unlock" script does a backup of the original phone files under "TWOCLICKtool/restore_files". The "restore" script restores the phone using those backup files and the "carrier-ls980-zvg-stock.img" file that was shared by user "culot" on the ONECLICK thread.

CREDITS

=======

- summer.cat for the original ONECLICK tool work

- culot for the "carrier-ls980-zvg-stock.img" file and his very useful posts in the ONECLICK thread

- myself (my wife already thanked me )

REQUIREMENTS

============

An ls980 on ZVG (I haven't tried anything else) and rooted

INSTALLATION

============

Using root explorer, copy the TWOCLICKtool folder under "/data" and change the permission of the two scripts (simunlock.sh and simrestore.sh) to make them executable (e.g. 774)

TO UNLOCK

=========

- Using root explorer, go to the /data/TWOCLICKtool folder and click/execute the simunlock.sh script

- After the phone reboots, change settings->More...->Mobile networks->Network mode to GSM/UMTS. Also, if you are in Freedompop as I am, use Titanium to freeze the Freedompop Messaging app.

- Turn off, replace SIM card (to your GSM card) and start the phone.

TO RESTORE

==========

- Using root explorer, go to the /data/TWOCLICKtool folder and click/execute the simrestore.sh script

- After the phone reboots, change settings->More...->Mobile networks->Network mode back to Global (or LTE/CDMA). Also, if you are on Freedompop as I am, use Titanium to defreeze the Freedompop Messaging app.

- Turn off, replace SIM card (to your sprint LTE card) and start the phone.
[Sprint LG G2] ImCoKeMaN:
Does this also enable hotspot when keeping CDMA?
[Sprint LG G2] siddmon:
does someone has the carrier image for ZVI?
[Sprint LG G2] e20140:
Works fine on stock ZVI, just tested today on both Sprint and T-mobile network. Have to run unlock script for T-Mobile, and restore script for Sprint.

Interestingly, I try the Mod..ZVG ROM and I don't have to run the script and both network works.
[Sprint LG G2] tekweezle:
this is going to be very useful because Freedompop now offers a roaming GSM sim that can be used abroad. Thanks again!
[Sprint LG G2] tekweezle:
I got this working on my LG-LS980 using the Freedom pop global sim. I am on zvh rooted. Had to go to the dialer and enter ##3282# to get to the data menu to change the APN to freedompop.Foggmobile.Com

Odd thing is my Sprint spark splash page animation upon booting changed. Also my launcher desktop reverted back to a default. Other than that, looking good. Getting hpsa+
[Sprint LG G2] tekweezle:
I got this working with my airvoice sim as well. Didn't need to edit the APN settings for it to work. Actually trying to edit it causes an error in the service program menu.
[Sprint LG G2] tekweezle:
Reverted back to CDMA Sprint easily. It great that this can all be done directly on the phone.

One question I have is that after switching modes, my home screen and launcher gets reverted to the defaults. Is there anyway to keep these settings from being lost?
[Sprint LG G2] damiloveu:
My phone has been activated to Freedompop and works fine under stock ROM. However, I couldn't get data after installed CM12. I inserted a Cricket SIM card and it didn't work either. Could someone help me to enable Freedompop data or enable GSM function? Thanks.
[Sprint LG G2] tekweezle:
I think this solution is only good for stock rom. If you want to get cricket(an AT&T gsm provider) working Revert your os back to stock rom, root it and then try the steps in the 1st post. You may need to edit the Apn and you will only get hspa speeds.

On this phone, I heard that lte data is not working with cm12, just 3g due to missing drivers.
[Sprint LG G2] tekweezle:
So I unlocked my sim successfully and restored back successfully while on the ZVH OS level.

However one thing that seemed to stop working was my GPS and I think it has to do with the ZVG carrier image. I believe that my GPS works when on ZVH and higher. To get the GPS working again, I restored a TWRP backup of my ZVH install.

Is there a way to either update the carrier images to ZVH or higher or modify the script file to make a backup of carrier image on the phone and store it on the phone so that it can be restored? Anyone have access to the ZVH or above GSM carrier image?

Other than that, thanks again for providing this excellent tool

[Nexus 5X Android Development] TJSteveMX:
Thanks mate, I'm new with nexus devices. One last thing, do I have to locked again or its OK leave it like that since on every reboot its showing me that I'm unlock. Sorry and thanks
[Nexus 5X Android Development] randman2011:
You can leave it like that as long as you can deal with that message on every boot. If you lock it, you would have to unlock (and wipe) again if you ever want to flash anything again. Personally, unless you want to stick with the stock ROM OTAs, I'd leave it unlocked.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Born<ICs:
Would you confirm your Tools Re-Lock feature works with Custom Recovery (TWRP) without bricking device?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Lexmazter:
Usually, locking your device does not brick anything, if everything works fine before locking, everything will work fine after locking, you are only limited after locking.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Born<ICs:
.

Would you mind answering the question?

With custom recovery, TWRP, installed and unlocked what happens when you use your Tool to go back to Lock?

Have you tested?

Thanks
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Lexmazter:
To be honest I never locked my bootloader, didn't found a reason to, so I didn't tested.

But technically speaking, the only thing that happens is that you cannot flash other custom recoveries (fastboot stuff basically) without unlocking again and wiping all the stuff on your device.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Born<ICs:
OK, thank you. ReLocking to flash factory image was what I was thinking. I read doing so can lead to bootloop. Just trying to make note of things to avoid doing.

Cheers
[Nexus 5X Android Development] skulldreamz:
You can lock and unlock your bootloader as much as your heart desires without consequence
[Nexus 5X Android Development] randman2011:
Well, wiping your data partition can be a pretty big consequence...

-edit-

You used to be able to use BootUnlocker for Nexus Devices to lock and unlock the bootloader from within the OS, but it looks like that's a no-go on the 5X...
[Nexus 5X Android Development] owenrg:
I'm new to the nexus devices, but if I unlock the bootloader and root, will I loose both if I take an OTA update?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] randman2011:
You will definitely lose root. I don't know about the bootloader since I've never taken an OTA, but I would guess that, unless there are bootloader changes in the update, your bootloader would stay unlocked. And to my knowledge the bootloaders are pretty much never updated for incremental OTAs.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotaKat:
I'm working with multiple devices on a project. Our target device is the Motorola MC40 handheld, which we only have one of. However, we have a collection of rooted devices (motoX, razr M, etc) around us that we can play with a bit more with.

The application we're running from the MC40 side will be storing data in a special /enterprise partition that ships on the device. The /enterprise mountpoint is partially immune to wiping on reset (especially the /enterprise/usr/persist folder), and we plan on dumping configuration files in that folder for the application.

As we want to actually test behavior of the production application on more than just our MC40 (since, well, only one of us can test with the MC at a time), we need to be able to add the /enterprise mountpoint to other devices. We obviously won't be able to use the MC40 specific stuff (though we can emulate pretty well with some handy Bluetooth ring scanners and stuff, and our MC40 isn't equipped with the magstripe option), but we still want to run it on multiple devices with the same built APK.

Is there a relatively simple way we can do this? Is it as simple as just creating the folder, or is there a better way we can add it as a 'soft' mountpoint that can persist after reboots? (eg, map /enterprise to /mounts/sdcard/enterprise)?
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] macguffin:
For those of you that have been missing the animated start-up screen here is a custom version inspired by tom's b&b touch ROM.

If you want to change the first screen (the one with O2 on it) use the tool found in this thread:

If you're not keen on the second image just find welcomehead.96.png in the windows folder and swap it with a picture of your choosing (240x320 png)

...And on the phone skin

The thumbprint image is very cool and as no one else appears to have mentioned it, i thought I should add that it also replaces the B&B image in the phone skin. This suits me fine as I wasn't a huge fan - the thumbprint is very classy.

Startup Screen 3

Thanks,

Just a couple of questions:

1. The welcomehead.96.png in my \Windows directory is 320x320, but certainly looks like the 3rd startup screen (the Black & Blue image). I guess 320x320 will do?

2. I selected a nice image, but I can't delete/rename/replace the existing welcomehead.96.png, I suppose because it's in ROM. I did a reg search for welcomehead with PHM Regedit, but came up empty. Where can I point the system to this new image file, or how can I replace welcomehead.96.png?

Thanks all

Is there a exe that someone could write where you leave an animated.gif and a welcome.96.png in a folder and it does the business??

Use Total Commander and look at properties. Uncheck all the boxes, 'read only' etc, once you've done this you should be able to simple overwrite it.
