[Verizon LG G3] Bunie89:
I've tried holding Power + Vol Down, i've tried letting it go and re-holding it when the LG Logo appears. I have TWRP installed, and i want to be able to boot into recovery incase something goes wrong with my system, but nothing i do seems to help.;

Only thing i can do is hold all 3 buttons, allowing me to disable "Hardware key control mode". How do i get this thing into Recovery?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
What happens when you hold the power and volume down buttons? Do you get the stock recovery? If so, choose Factory Reset and that'll take you to TWRP.
[Verizon LG G3] Bunie89:
Power + Vol Down, Factory Reset.

If unable to get into Bootloader, i found out personally that i just wasnt holding the Volume Down button hard enough.
[Verizon LG G3] techhexium:
[Youtube video on how to actually do this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-cTpsDLNF8)

Also, keep in mind for the Verizon G3, when you enter the recovery, you will NOT be asked to reset your data, but there will be five options and one of them is factory reset. That's where you want to go. Nothing is actually reset.

+1 for this question. I tried a stock 5.0 TW ROM a few months ago and it wouldn't work with it, I'd have had to deodex the ROM, which at the time I didn't fancy.

I love the flexibility that I've had using xposed on KK, but I'm thinking of moving up to a custom 6.0 ROM - am I right in assuming that I can't use xposed on custom ROM's? (I've had a look online and can't find anything that tells me that though).

X7500 Front Camera Envy?

I have the X7501 and now that the X7500 is down to $960 on mobileplanet, I am going through "front camera envy." The more people who tell me this feature is useless in the USA, the better I will feel.

Is anyone using the front camera in any way here in the USA (or anywhere else for that matter)?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wgary:
Sending people pictures of myself?? (once)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mahjong:
The camera is for videoconferencing in 3G technology.

In the middle of the conversation you can change the image you are sending from the front camera to the rear camera so you can show the person you are talking something in front of you (back of the X7500). For sample when I'm talking to someone I can show that person the landscape I'm seeing. Or if some one want to report a computer error just change to the rear camera a point it to the PC screen and shows me the error.

I don't know... there are many samples where videoconferencing is a good posibility for the X7500.

I wasn't aware that the US taste of HTC Advantage, the X7501, got no videoconferencing.

Best Regards,

mahjong
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wgary:

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
Good point ,mahjong. I know of a car body dent touch up guy who asked his prospective client with video conference phone to show him the dent and give quotation over the phone without having to physically travel to their house to inspect the dent.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mahjong:
Man I'm from Europe and I'm not aware about how cellphone systems works in the States. Sorry.

In my case, in Spain, the 3 mayor providers got data plans and videoconferencing is considered data connections so goes in that plan.

But I can tell you at least in Spain and I think in the whole Europe since we share the same 3G technology (called UMTS) the videoconferencing on cellphones is being used much and much more everyday.

Now the European providers are instaling 3,5G technology called HSDPA which give you more bandwidth on the same prices so I guess video calls is a winning bet.

UMTS is 384 kbps and HSDPA us around 3.6 mbps bandwidth, just for you to know.

Thanks for the reply. I am new to the forum can you please tell me which option need to select under platform(sorry if this is a silly question).

tried Gapps from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347829362 but chrome is not working and the games forcequit.

Can you please provide the info for the below:

1. How can i unmount data (using TWRP) and will this be safe?

2. As i was using MIUI ROM before but Still i am getting MI screen first and followed to my new CM 12.1

3. Camera is only 8mp, as the patch for 16mp provided in the main link is not working.

I know you are working hard to help people. thanks

Thanks again

Muttu
[Micromax Canvas Nitro A310/A311] bravonova:
1. From opengapps.org select arm then 5.1 then select pico, mini or nano

In pico you will get only play store and play services

In mini, nano you will get apps like chrome, Google search, hangouts, etc.

BTW you can install other g-apps from play store so I suggest download pico version

2. You need to unmount data partition before flashing cm 12.1

It's safe.... Data partition get auto mounted when you restart your device

In twrp go to mount setting.... Just untick system, cache, data partition

3. You better flash v2.1 by [MENTION=6721259]shubham9543[/MENTION] thread

4. For stock Micromax logo I will provide you the patch in the morning
[Micromax Canvas Nitro A310/A311] happymuttu:

My N5 has a hardware fault where the phone thinks the power button is permanently pressed, so as soon as you try and boot it, it turns off again.

I am able to get to fastboot, by holding down the volume down button and power. But from there, I cannot boot to recovery or normal system boot.

I have been unable to fix this, and I really want to get some of my app data off.

Is there a way of extracting a backup somehow from fastboot?

I'm guessing no, as you can't access via adb through fastboot can you?
