Hello, i took a gamble and lost, so..... my phone is in odin mode and saying "could not do normal boot". i used flashify to backup my stock kernel and recovery on my SM-A300YZ then i download this recovery extracted it and then flashed via flashify, reboot and brick. hopefully someone has a idea on how to help me. p.s. i called samsung and they said their repair center will just ship it back without doing anything.

Just reflash the stock firmware
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bernardwu:
Maybe you should read properly that's it's for A300H, A300F and A300FU only. And your phone is just softbricked. You can revive it by reflashing stock firmware downloadable from samfirmware
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] kenpachizero:
yeah that was the gamble bit, i was not sure if anyone was willing to try, so i have been downloading firmware and just flashing it to see which one works, but thanks for the site, i'll try it now, also since i am working on unbricking it should i help test recovery for the a3?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedrokaulitz:
Hey everyone,

I need help soon as possible.

I have a Xperia Z1 C6903 with android 5.1.1 and my firmware is 14.6.A.9.368 and I want to downgrade to 4.4 (KitKat) because Android 5.1.1 is stealing a lot of battery and is slower than 4.4, so I want to get back to it.

MY PHONE IS ROOTED.

I saw a lot of threads about this, but I still don't know much..

I have flashtool, I just need a download link for a firmware of 4.4 (KitKat) that is compatible with my phone and will run without problems.

(I dont know if this is important but my SI is 1276-1925.8 EL,EN) <- Don't know what is this..

I'm from Portugal, so I'm sure I need a firmware of Portugal version I dont know.. I think I have an Unlocked phone.

Waiting for help.. Thanks!

Wrong board - this should have been under XPERIA Z1 Q&A, HELP & TROUBLESHOOTING

No, you don't need to unlock your phone's bootloader to use Flashtool and flash a stock 4.4.4

You can check the FTF download links posted in our community boards. Technically speaking it's OK to use another regions FTF on your phone, i.e. Philippine phone (like mine) using Singapore ROM is just as the same as Philippine phone using Philippine ROM.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougfunnieyo:
phone is an att note 5, unlocked, using t-mobile sim. *Due note, I repaired the lcd on this as it was shattered, along with the back glass cover, and everything was fine until I unlocked it*

Problem is, when I stop using the phone and the phone locks or "sleeps". It seems that it doesn't turn back on or wake up (Black screen, sometimes shows blue light indicating I have a notification but still black screen) if i press any key or button. Only way for it to show anything is to hold the power button longer to fully turn it back on. Take note, this only happens when my WIFI is on and working and I stop using the phone. The time varies, sometimes it won't do it for couple minutes, sometimes a few seconds. I dont even know my phone has been turned off or dead asleep literally, as there is no sound or anything either.

This will continue to do this until when i boot the phone back up and the wifi CANT be turned on at all, letting me use just the mobile data and it wont shut off or anything and works fine except, wifi can't be turned on at all.

NOW to get my wifi back up and running, I can't simply restart, I have to fully power down, then turn on the phone. BUT again, if wifi works, it'll end up shutting off once I stop using the phone.

Any ideas? I'm on OI6 firmware, I cleared cache, tried factory reset any way you can, I've tried safe mode. Still the same problem.

I can't flash the firmware as ATT hasn't released anything soo its pretty much strictly a phone without wifi at this point.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uzair40:
Flash it using the option Emergency software recovery and initialization on Smart Switch.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougfunnieyo:
Ya I did that when I was on OGG. Didn't help either way, but I'm guessing its the unlock itself. When I use someones ATT sim, wifi works great. When I put the tmobile sim back in, wifi can't be turned on but my mobile data works.

I bought my Xperia z5 to replace a Note edge that I tried getting fixed after water damage. After getting the z5, I got the Edge fixed a second time and edge works as good as new. Ran AnTuTu....... Scores of the z5 are not as great a difference vs. The note edge. I'm running the z5 on stock cause there is no community roms or root yet. The note edge is running Tekexodus 4.2 extreme dev edition with the permissive low lying fruit kernel. Besides the overheating issue of the 810, which isn't an issue in the z5, is performance increase supposed to be this little or is it the power of custom roms and kernels?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkmasterchilla:
I ran both 64 then 32 bits tests for fun. I am sure we'll get higher scores after a few updates furthermore when root is enabled.

I'm the OP. I run an emulator and it is noticibly less playable on the z5 vs the edge. Thats why I ran the benchmark. Ran the benchmarking again today and got 61000. When I overclock the edge 60000 is attainable.

This is a heavily modified/gutted stock LG fw based on their 48a release. My goal was to get as close to an AOSP weight as an OEM LG fw distro can get while still having everything work. I have also added functionality that wasn't present in the stock fw. Due to my schedule I won't have time to add different options for other people, etc. As the name implies, this is just how I run my phone.

[Verizon LG G3] tholmes8291:
Great to see ya here! I was a loyal follower on the G2!
[Verizon LG G3] bigdwg71:
Awesome, thanks xdabbeb. Did you modify the 35b bootstack so we can use the 35b modem and custom recovery? Cause that would be hot.
[Verizon LG G3] xdabbeb:
A fellow Bostonian! Nice.

Yes, it's the full 35b bootstack (obviously minus the 12b bump-friendly bootloader). Your existing recovery will work just fine with it. I've been on it for a week and everything works properly (including HD Voice/Video).
[Verizon LG G3] bigdwg71:
Ha! Go Pats!

So what do we lose them without the bump'd boatloader? I thought that was pretty crucial to custom roms with LGs.
[Verizon LG G3] robrabbitman:
I'm incredibly intrigued. I might just have to flash this later..

Does this flash like an ordinary ROM? Will I be able to revert to a different ROM easily?
[Verizon LG G3] xdabbeb:
Ha. Yes, indeed #pinkstripes

I think you may have a misunderstanding of what bump is/does. The BL is not ever what is "bumped"...it's the bootable partitions (boot, recovery, etc). The reason you need to stick with the older/KK 12b bootloader is that LG patched the exploit starting with their LP fw releases on both G2 and G3. I just took a quick look around and it doesn't seem that anyone really put together the appropriate sets of partitions (bootstacks) for the VS985 users, so you can use the three above for everything you need. If you want to have a better understanding of what a bootstack is, etc, read the sticky resources thread I have the top of the VS980 dev section.

tl;dr You aren't losing anything.

yes x2

[Verizon LG G3] shindiggity:
So if I'm on a 12b bootloader I can just flash the Rom?
[Verizon LG G3] mopartonyg:
[MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] Flashed per your instructions and set up ok. Restored a nandroid of SD and had no data. Do we need to flash the 24B modem with the restore or the 35B bootstack with the restore? Restored your nandroid and have data again. Been running since last nite all i good so far. Thanks
[Verizon LG G3] Droid1177:
Just for clarity If I restored my stock rom. My phone would be on 10b. Would I have to upgrade to 12b prior to flashing 35 bootstack, in order to revert back with the 12b bootstack? I like to have a back up plan in place in case of mishaps. Thanks
[Verizon LG G3] tholmes8291:
I believe you'll need to flash the appropriate Bootstack for the ROM. ie 12b or 24b
[Verizon LG G3] mopartonyg:
ok dumb question, where do you create the files for the options? Sorry

[Verizon LG G3] xdabbeb:
No, you don't need to. You can just flash the appropriate bootstack for the firmware you're looking to use. Flashing the zip provides you with the full set of partitions while keeping your aboot/laf pair on the exploitable 12b version.

I highly recommend that people who still aren't quite clear on any of this please look up the resources thread I mentioned earlier and read it all carefully.

[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Since you have it at the stock DPI it looks like stock. I'm confused. I'm not trying to be stubborn - could you explain exactly what changing DPI didn't do that you wanted it to do? Or what direction you're trying to go with density?
[Verizon LG G3] ericsmart:
i aponglize if i couldnt explain better. im deaf and my english suck. asl(american sign language) is my primary language...anyway ill try again and see if i could explain better, i used terminal and then su then wm density 640 and reboot. did you see the pictures? the lockscreen....half of it are tinted and on at home, the app drawer are huge? get my drift or?

---------- Post added at 08:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 AM ----------

whats is the orginal of it rom density? im gonna tweak back to orginal then reboot. ill removing terminal and will change density in my build.prop
[Verizon LG G3] davidstjohn1:
560 is a good dpi to use
[Verizon LG G3] ericsmart:
yes it is but my app drawer are huge....on 560,everything else are fine. but the app drawer are huge and half tinted on lockscreen.
[Verizon LG G3] davidstjohn1:
Are you using the stock LG launcher
[Verizon LG G3] ericsmart:
yes
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No sweat! Thanks for your patience and for explaining more. Stock is 640 - I used the texdroid app to change back to 640, but I'm also using Nova Launcher Prime, not LG's launcher so maybe that's why I didn't notice a problem on mine.

Did you try [MENTION=1771466]davidstjohn1[/MENTION] 's suggestion (down below) to reapply your wallpaper, to see if it solves that? For the app drawer, I hate to steer you away from what you're used to using - the stock launcher, but I find Nova Launcher Prime to be extremely configurable. More of a workaround than a solution - I don't know what to suggest as far as LG's launcher.
[Verizon LG G3] ericsmart:
i even try all of methods as i known of, i also tried re-apply wallpaper, still the same. i like use terminal for many others things instead of using textdroid.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I agree - I doubt if using any different method to change DPI would produce a different result.
[Verizon LG G3] davidstjohn1:
Sounds like you should re flash something sounds wrong
[Verizon LG G3] ericsmart:
even i wiped cache and d. still nothing. im gonna reflash and leave it be. everything is working fine, amazing rom friendly batt, and love it. hope next update will fix dpi on lg stock once for all.

[MENTION=4888382]Robshr[/MENTION] - I'm showing 37 second boot time consistently, noticeably quicker than before I loaded this bootstack and firmware. ( one of my apps automatically lists boot time).

I haven't run any of the advanced options, do have xposed with a couple modules.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I do have the option but I'm using G3TweaksBox and I normally have that option enabled so likely that's why I'm seeing something different than you.

Web browser on Windows. ;) At least on my tablet - and it may be related to my having 20-30 tabs open in Chrome, XDA's forum was running way too slowly to realistically use it that way, but that is a working workaround and the phone is faster than my tablet.

Ran XDABBEB's VS982.5 on my G2, so looking forward to trying a XDABBEB ROM on my G3!
[Verizon LG G3] pahlerc1:
I have Jasmine 9.1 and SkyDragon 6.0.2 backed up.. I am a little confused on the "how to flash" part of this, first time the instructions I've read don't say to wipe system or data, just dalvik and cache. What bootstack will I need to get back to an International ROM? Maybe 24B since it is based on 5.0 as I think I'll need the 24B to get back to Jasmine and SkyDragon. Should I restore back to Skydragon or Jasmine before following flashing instructions? Sorry for long post and thanks in advance! Everyone has good things to say about this, and I didn't have a G2 so looking forward to it! :)

Update: Followed Ippolito1971 instructions on post # 175 and all is well and it booted and I am at the "Android is upgrading screen".. Thanks
[Verizon LG G3] davidstjohn1:
I believe you're going to need the 24b boot stack

I found the culprit it was an older version of g3tb that's suppose to somewhat work with 5.1.1 uninstalled it and all is well

[Verizon LG G3] Xer0 WindKey:
Hello, I've been rocking this ROM since back on the VS980. :D

I know this is probably not ROM related, but I'll ask just in case:

Is there a way to manually hide/disable the unknown SIM Icon from the status bar?

I used to hide with G3 tweaksbox, but It doesn't seem to work on the G3 now (35B at least).
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
For what it's worth, they have a private testing version of G3TweaksBox which is supposed to work better with 35B, but I have no idea if that particular part will work successfully. Hopefully they release it soon.
[Verizon LG G3] Xer0 WindKey:
Ermm >_>

Would you believe me If I told you that it went away by itself, even though I disabled the corresponding mod on tweaksbox after seeing it not work? I even restarted and everything.

[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Thanks for doing all that work for everyone! Curiosity got the best of me, so I thought I'd fill in the single blank - it works on AOSP/CM ROMs. At least it works on the one I use when not on stock-based: Candy 5. Screenshot attached for baseband/ROM verification.

Thanks for this great work on the bootstacks (and your ROM of course) [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] !
[Verizon LG G3] minhas729:
I have check the cm12.1, xenon HD , and exodus rom... 24B bootstack should be fashed first.. Then 23C modem.. Then the rom zip.. Aosp 5.1.1 need that bootstack..

R u saying u r working with 35B boot stack?
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Yes, it works fine. I used 24B bootstack to flash the ROM/gapps, installed all my stuff, backed up just in case, then flashed the 35B bootstack. It booted right up and works just fine. There's no real reason to do this unless the modem gives better signal, so it was more of a proof-of-concept flashing to see if it works.

Candy does a baseband check for either 23C or 24B before it will allow flashing, so you'd have to flash the 24B baseband first to flash the ROM initially (some AOSP ROMs require the 23C modem, as you indicate above; Candy added support for 24B recently); but after that, you can flash the 35B bootstack.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
[MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] pointed out to me that call recording requires Advanced/HD Calling to be turned off. It's apparently always been that way - that they don't work together. Thanks [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] for clearing that up!

[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Nothing that I can tell on first glance. I usually get pretty poor signal at work, but am off today. I'll check to see if there is any difference tomorrow. If it's like past modems, there won't be much change.

Unless otherwise noted, flash the 35B bootstack AFTER the ROM otherwise you might medium brick your phone (looks hard bricked but can be revived by flashing the 10B KDZ or TOT and rerooting, etc).

Need help

I tried the installation process a couple of times clean flashed and made a file permissive in /sdcard/ and rebooted but selinux mode still won't change to permissive

Any tips thanks

Edit: fixed by adding a 0 in the file

One other thing noob question but what is adreno idler and what does it do

Also I noticed with root checker pro if you verify busy box has been install properly it'll say no I've found the you must use the busy box installer and install it in system/bin instead of the default system/xbin

With doing what I stated above with permissive and busy box you will have full root
