[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Flash a stock rom via odin and on the keypad type *#0*# to get factory mode. Press "speaker". If you hear a tune your speaker is fine. If not you have a hardware issue.

I wish I stole my HTC M9.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcneil20:
Thanks will try..
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w1040:
so i was using stock kitkat rom for almost a year now. yes i havent updated to lollipop cause i was rooted.

and now im planning to install a custom rom, because stock rom are not as smooth as they were as they first were.

and im looking for a change, lollipop roms preferably.

so which roms suits me the most, cloudy or cyanidel rom? the important thing of course is battery life and performance.

thank you!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMadScientist:
Cloudy all the way may have to do a few tweaks to get to your liking on top of xcam for replacent for stock app i flash all kinds of roms and crap and always come back to cloudy xposed works pretty good there are a few modules i have probs with but no major deal breakers

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

My opinion of coarse i like almost all the roms out for g3 multi varients all of them have there own special quirks i like
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RapHaeL_4_4_4_:
Cloudy is based on stock so you have all the advantages of the stock rom like:

-Camera driver

-Good battery life

-Stability

And for cyanide, its based on cyanogenmod, the adventages are:

-Smooth like butter

-Features

The choice is up to you depending of what you really want. Personally I'd go with a stock based rom because of the camera driver and the stability, I add xposed and I can have a lot of features.

But you can try one, do a nandroid backup, try the other and go back if you don't like it!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w1040:
okay i think im gonna go for cloudy since i actually prefer stock feelings too.

one more question, can cloudy use lgg3tweakbox, Xinsta, Xstana using xposed without no problem?

some people says lg g3 on lollipop cant use some modules for e.g lgg3tweakbox
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMadScientist:
I use grav box tweekbox major one that dont work for me is advanced power menu

When u setup cloudy make sure u click in aroma installer to use exposed also you havento manually install the framework after u flash framwork zip youll thing u bootlooped but first boot after exposed takes a couple on min
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ropinco:
I tried the following roms for the LG G3:

crDROID (AOSP Based Rom - Android 5.1.1)

Cloudy3G 2.5 (Stock based Rom - Android 5.0.X)

Fulmics 1.6 (Stock based Rom - Android 5.0.X)

My opinion:

crDroid : It was the smoothest rom I've tried until now but the I was disappointed by the battery life. The camera app is not the same as the stock rom camera app so the pictures quality is inferior.

Cloudy3G 2.5 : It was laggy for me, and it has a few bugs like the UI crashing when the phone is charging. The GPS has bugs as well. Cloudy is not being developed anymore.

Fulmics 1.6 : For now is the best stock based rom I've tried. It's smooth and it's always based on the latest updated stock rom from LG. Even better, the updates are via OTA so it's faster to update to the latest version of this custom rom.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InternetMayhem:
Been really enjoying cloudy and I am super picky. I think you will be impressed, the developer did a really good job. Its working better than stock for me and feels quick no lag here.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pavl79:
For me, Fulmics ROM is better than Cloudy. Its much smoothier and I had gps problems on Cloudy.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w1040:
so cloudy has gps problems? i used gps a lot that could be a problem for me.

i never check fulmics before.

what about cyanidel? no one mentions cyanidel?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMadScientist:
so i switc hed to fulmics 2.0 just updated 2.1 and i love it smoother than cloudy and about the same battery life
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaoup:
I think it's because not a lot of people right now has been using cyanide (no updates since forever) and rr and bliss pop has taken the cm based limelight

Cloudy is okay but have some issues that will make you wanna flash another rom

Fulmics is much better but personally i've been losing data connectivity every once in a while.

Maybe try old timers like Lion, Chup Chups or Spartaxxx if you want stock

Or you can always try the cm based ones... like cyanide :)

I apologize if this is posted elsewhere in the forums, or if it's incorrectly placed, But I figured it may be useful to some.

after hours of looking and browsing the internet, I finally found a way to root my Samsung Galaxy J1 by Verizon.

You will need the following: Samsung Galaxy SM-J100VPP non rooted

Kingoroot application OR

Kingroot application.

Step 1) Go to your dialer and enter *#*#759#*#* or install an app called Hidden Menus and look for "Rlz Debug UI..."

Step 2) turn OEM Mode ON

Step 3) Use KingoRoot or King Root and click root.

This will work on devices that have received the OTA update from VZW.

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

If anyone knows of a CWM Recovery or Custom Roms For this device, I would very much appreciate a link. if not, I will have to try to port it myself. Thanks in advance.

Working for me but afraid to update it with the chainfire one want exposed on this
[Android General] aleckeene:
It worked for me with Kingroot and Hidden Menus but after optimizing with Kingroot and uninstalling a few bloatware apps, it crashed, restarted (with the open lock icon, "custom" underneath, now on startup) and no longer has root access in Root Checker, it saying "Root access is not properly installed on this device".

I think it should be noted that Kingroot originally told me root access was unavailable but below also said "Root strategy available, just try it", so I did. Now it seems that wasn't permanent. I won't attempt it again unless one of you has a lead that requires me to.

And how do I know if I got the OTA update from VZW?

Anyone else have this problem?

I am a greenhorn with this stuff. This is my first root attempt. Please be specific when directing me somewhere if needed.
[Android General] ponso:
I used Kingo root and after a few tries it worked. I like this better because I can use tasker with the build in Superuser (after build prob mod of course and for some reason supersu). I was not able to get tasker to work with King root.

I have had no luck as well. Tried Kingroot and Kingoroot multiple times and both fail.
[Android General] el_venga:
im not able to enter the hidden menu. methods i have tried request root and i dont have it. which apk is it?
[Android General] AThiker:
The hidden menus is an app you can download from the play store to enable Rlz Debug UI to OEM mode. I have used Kingroot (which is the closest i get to rooting the phone) and Kingoroot. Just go to their sites and download the APK.
[Android General] el_venga:
got the hidden menu app and activated oem mode. root is not working, maybe due to being PH5 build. ill try to downgrade.
[Android General] VirendarWarwal:
Help, urgent

Is there any other way to root it, as I followed all the working method to root my phone

Software and apps I tested:

Kingroot

Kingoroot

SRSRoot

& several others...

Details:

Model number: SM-J100VPP

Android version: 5.1.1 (got officially updated, there's not any OTA update)

Baseband version: J100VPPVRU4APH5

Build number: LMY48B.J100VPPVRU4APH5

Thanks
[Android General] ponso:
looks like no root works for 4APH5 :(

need to downgrade to 3AOH1 somehow...(I tried the files found for odin and failed)
[Android General] d4rk3:
SRSRoot is supposed to work on all versions of the SM-J100VPP (I haven't personally used this, though).

Dirty Cow should work too for temp root.
[Android General] LilAnt530:
who wants to take their recovery.img & unpack it for me to make us a TWRP build? o.o
[Android General] d4rk3:
I already have compiled it...probably over a hundred times...and no matter what I can't boot into TWRP. The Verizon warning always pops up and won't go away until you flash the stock recovery in Odin. Meh...

Anyway, here you go :)
[Android General] LilAnt530:
PM me please? Lol, if you're doing the compiling and unpacking (Stuck on Windows 10 -.-) then I think we could make some rapid progress here xD. I mean, how is it going to allow xposed, and EVERYTHING to be ripped apart from it, SeLinux fondled from terminal, but the recovery partition somehow uberlocked? O.O

I say we add the TWRP insall.sh to the modem/firmware .img and recompile/flash....... Sorry to sound stupid but this phone intrigued me specifically upon reaching that mode! Did this thing begin on Kk? can't find any sort of downgrade either.
[Android General] d4rk3:
PM sent :)
[Android General] gravyd316:
ey guys if you make any progress on this can you let us know

Its a relief to know some capable people are working on a TWRP for this Badboy. I know you guys love exposed but im dying to try New lineage os. I'll help if i can.
[Android General] d4rk3:
Will do!
[Android General] gravyd316:
I suppose this is another Verizon locked garbage device. Their service is good but I've yet to have 1 rooted Verizon device im about to change service on this issue alone
[Android General] lugnut2099:
So a friend brought one of these over the other day and I decided to give rooting a shot, despite the fact that I've had zero luck with any other VPP device I've tried (LG Optimus Zone 3, Motorola G4 Play). It looks like a successfully rooted J100VPP is almost a rarity judging by this thread, but I dunno, I didn't have any trouble. It's a brand-new, fresh-from-the-store phone, too. (I'm not sure from *what* store, though. All I know is that it was purchased within the past month at least.) First time around was with Kingroot APK. I unrooted it and then a couple days later tried the PC version of Kingoroot and succeeded there too. *shrug*

It's on 5.1.1, with baseband J100VPPVRU3AOH1, build number LMY48B.J100VPPVRU3AOH1. And if the following means anything to anyone, "hardware version" is J100V.03 and "configuration version" shows F14.SAM.SMJ100VPP.0

Now here's the crazy part... This thing acts like it's SIM unlocked. I hadn't thought to check it before rooting, so I don't know if that had anything to do with it, but when I accidentally stuck a T-Mobile SIM in it sometime thereafter, I was very surprised to see it boot up with "T-Mobile" displaying where "Verizon Wireless" should have been. I tried an AT&T card with no such luck, however. Anyway, I can't tell what this T-Mo card is actually *doing* because I don't have an active one. Therefore, of course, I can't actually test whether or not text/data would be working (I'm going to say it's a yes on data though, because opening a browser sends me to the T-Mobile website where it wants me to sign up for a new plan), but I can say that calls definitely wouldn't be, at least not straight out of the box like this. When I try to make a call I don't get the recorded error I'd expect to hear when trying to place a call from an inactive card/phone, it just says "No SIM, or SIM Error."

So, uh... WTF? Why is it even *trying* to work? Attempting to insert a non-Verizon card in the previous VPP devices I've dicked around with only resulted in a "Network Locked" screen. What do I need to do to actually enable calling to work on this thing? I already switched it to "Global Mode," but under Mobile Networks it's only showing as LTE/CDMA. Hell, does this model even have the proper hardware to enable GSM correctly? I apologize for what I'm sure are rather dumb questions, but I've never had to bother with the oh-so-fun-looking intricacies of GSM/CDMA compatibility before, so knowing what's what and how to get there is all sort of uncharted water for me.

But yeah, the J100VPP is definitely rootable, and quite possibly unlockable. Now I'll let the rest of youse smarter guys figure out where to go from here!

(PS, isn't this phone actually cheaper than the identical-hardware Core Prime despite having a Galaxy S-class AMOLED screen instead of the Core's godawful Coolpad-class TFT? What the hell, right? I see those Cores all the damn time, but this is my first time playing with the J1 and I kinda like the little thing. Sure, I know the J1's display is a bit smaller, but damn, not by much. Plus I dig the color-matched hardware keys that are also lacking on the stupid ol' Core Prime!)
[Android General] LilAnt530:
That's definitely very weird, but great news for us looking for some OG deveopment xD. I have a G530AZ (Core Prime) and the battery from this brick worked in that brick lol. As for your issues bro what problem are you having exactly? wishing to use Tmobile SIM in this prepay brick? O.o

[Android General] Chuck_hines:
I have a Galaxy J1 also. It is the SM-J100VPP. I can not get the *#*#759#*#* code to work so I can enable OEM unlocking nor can I find that option in the hidden developers options menu. It would be nice to be able to root it and get rid of the bloatware. Why must they make it so that we can not uninstall these things without root? I never wanted VZ navigator or the NFL app. I use Sygic instead of VZ navigator anyhow and that is only really when I end up lost some place. I am running 5.1.1 4AQC1. I have no idea what I am missing but that 759 code is in my way.
[Android General] LilAnt530:
No way to unlock bootloader pal, not yet anyway, i believe Loki may work or possibly the old safestrap methods, titanium backup works, you can root with kingoroot

Edit; The Safestrap method has to freekin work here, anybody rooted with SuperSU willing to post a screenshot of their listed partitions, (bootloader pieces in specific) using FlashFire so I can attempt to modify the old school method & give us custom recovery? xD.
[Android General] LilAnt530:

[Android General] oscarthewondercat:
I can post the text from Flashfire partition info if that would help. I can't seem to be able to upload the images from the phone app; or, find an option to load attachments from PC. Sorry, I'm new. Phone is rooted with SuperSU 2.82.
[Android General] LilAnt530:
Yea man the two bootloader partitions would be named like FSG & Spo maybe? or even SBL1 & FSG, there were so many partitions lol
[Android General] oscarthewondercat:
This is a the list of bootloader items from the Flashfire Partitions option:

Primary Bootloader

Name: rpm

Size: 512 KiB

Block Size: 4096 B

Flags: Bootloader, Protected, PIT

Secondary Bootloader

Name: sbl1

Block Size: 4096 B

Secondary Bootloader AP

Name: aboot

Block: Size: 4096 B

Flags: Bootloader, Protected, PIT

Boot

Name: boot

Size: 13 MiB

Block Size: 4096 B

Flags: Kernel Image, PIT

Hope this will help. Thanks for working on this by the way.
[Android General] LilAnt530:
Okay now all we need is to take the old Verizon Note 4 unlock_n4 script (there's also an apk somewhere and that might be easier to make the mods to) and where it searches for the aboot file we need to just split it to the two listed o.O, i will end up making this work, but regardless anyone impatient enough feel free as they can't have less experience than I do, just a minor tinkerer with a lot of prepay experience xD.

Key Notes

Flashlight toggle works perfectly. Yay!!

Battery charging LED too works, but expecting CM to break it, again.

If you are going to install gapps, flash it just after flashing CM13. I used pico opengapps, flashed after CM13 booted up, got frequent Setup Wizard and GPServices error. Right then, did a factory reset. Working.
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Guys, let's not forget that is a development thread.
[Sony Xperia L] Olivier:
It seems like the majority of users with bricked devices have partitioned SD cards.While I can't guarantee anything, this seems to be the only possible reason at the moment. I have been testing CM13 on my C2105 for weeks, but never had that issue. And no, it's not the model number - the differences between C2104 and C2105 are rather minimal and the ROM has been confirmed working on both variants anyway.

Nevertheless, I've locked the thread and removed the download link for now, but just for the future: Don't re-partition your SD cards - in case you have already done so, format your storage before flashing this ROM! Xperia L doesn't have storage galore and the apps get bigger and bigger, I know. But if you aren't satisfied with that you better buy a new device.

Anyway, I'm sorry for the hard bricks.

EDIT: Those who have ended up with hardbricks have probably played around with the new "adoptable storage" feature, it can destroy the emmc.
