Thanks aL50, and LiRa89 for the quick replies. aL50 states to flash the firmware, and LiRa89 states to flash the kernel, wouldn't I need to flash both? I realize the need to have a ss flashable kernel on the system due to ss and lollipop. Sorry for all the questions, but I usually tend to make things harder for myself...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
All Galaxy S5 Firmwares include the Kernel. So if you Flash a Firmware.....you just also flashed the Kernel. Make sense?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] larryk:
Got it, thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
Glad you got it. You may have misread the post that I posted about the kernel is in the firmware, so no need to flash the kernel. It's all good and glad you got it Running....:)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] equisbox:
I tried it, doesn't work - defaults to the green/teal one. same behavior. . I wanna say it's a setting in Alliance Control, but i'm not sure..

I guess no one else is having this issue? maybe I should reflash? I would prefer not to

I have soft bricked my S5

So today I tried to update my S5 that was running NCG. I wiped data, system, and cache in safestrap. I flashed OK3 firmware no bootloaders, Alliance ROM, S6 zip, and the two dark themes, no debloaters. Rebooted, waited 48 minutes as the screen was on the Galazy S5 powered by Android screen. Pulled the battery, flashed NI2 kernel via odin, think I would try it again, it passed, rebooted waited for the safestrap screen, nogo.

So this is where I am now.

Any Help on what to do next?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
Have you tried to flash the OK3 kernel tar(I think JrKrsue has one posted somewhere) to see if that would get you anywhere? Or have you tried to go into the factory recovery and wiped cache?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] larryk:
On trying to enter recovery I get "recovery booting...." in the upper left corner, in blue, and the galaxy s5 powered by android in the center, but it never enters recovery. I can get into download mode. I am looking for the odin flashable ok3 kernel, but I haven't found it yet...

Found it, I reflashed the ok3 kernel in odin, and rebooted. It is still stuck on the S5 powered by android screen. I'll leave it there awhile longer.

What are you trying to do? Are you rooted
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] larryk:
I was on NCG, rooted, SS installed for about 1.5 years. I wiped data, system, and cache in safestrap. I flashed OK3 firmware no bootloaders, Alliance ROM, S6 zip, and the two dark themes, no debloaters. Rebooted, waited 48 minutes as the screen was on the Galaxy S5 powered by Android screen. Pulled the battery, flashed NI2 kernel via odin, thinking I could get into SS, I would try it again, it passed, rebooted waited for the safestrap screen, nogo, stuck.

Reflashed OK3 kernel via odin, it passed, same result.

I can not get into stock recovery, it just sits at the "recovery booting", I can get into download mode.

So this is where I am now.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Try flashing kit Kat kernel again if it don't work Obviously you will have to start from scratch. You no you can't use rom slots right. On next install you only choose 1 theme not both
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] larryk:
Yes, I am aware that you can't use the ROM slots, I'l try thanks

HELP

I have tried several times to install this rom and cannot figure it out. The last time i tried this rom I was running the NCG firmware. I had root and safestrap intalled. I downloaded the Alliance rom and the BOK3 firmware No bootloader zip and the BOK3 kernal with safestrap. I booted phone into recovery and did the recommended wipe. Then I flashed the Alliance rom. Once finished I went "home" in safestrap, went to internal storage and flashed the Alliance S6 zip. Once that was done, I went "home" in safestrap again. I flashed the BOK3 no bootloader firmware and the BOK3 kernal with safestrap. Once that was done I rebooted from safestrap and nothing. The only thing I get is the Samsung Galaxy S5 powerd by android screen. Please Help cause I know im missing something. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
How long did you wait before giving up and pulling the battery? When installing these TW ROM's when booting to OS, they take between 15-20 minutes to install everything into the system. So after you flash the items needed before you flash the ROM, flash the ROM then flash the No Bootloader firmware and reboot. Also, no need to flash the No Bootloader kernel after flashing the Firmware because it's in the firmware. Only need to flash the ROM kernel when exiting from SafeStrap

[Solved]

So,

An update in case anybody else has this same issue. I solved it myself!

I twigged that CWM Recovery had become stuck/confused/corrupt as when I downloaded CWMROM and tried to reflash to the latest version, it advised me it had completed, but actually when I then booted in CWM recovery, it still showed the old version.

So I reflashed TWRP over CWM

Wiped the SD card

then proceeded to flash CM 12.1 & Gapps - worked first time

Rebooted - nowt, got stuck

Reflashed boot.img

Rebooted - success :)

it may help somebody else
[Xposed General] Max2thecore:
So I've been facing a problem recently, I am a huge music fan but also a performance freak. So, having a 32gb nexus 6p, that means that I am f***ed. Music streaming apps are useless when you dont have any internet access or when you are out of data and offline selections takes space on your device. I've found something I had lying around the house, an external Micro SD card reader.. Thing is there isnt seem to be an app made to read music right off of micro SD cards. When you plug the adaptor or reader the only options you have are files transfer from where you can browse and open the song you want.. It works for mp3 but not for wma or flac files plus it looks absolutely horrible.. Can anyone show me a way to solve my probleme oe even if anyone is willing to build something to solve it id be interested to help !! Thanks

hii evrybody,

first i can't contact the seller because i buy it from my freind who bought it from another country ... he is a reliable seller and he always buy from him

well the phone was amazing smooth , great camera and all , just like any other galaxy S5

but one time i put my IMEI number into ( imei.info ) and boom the web cite says that this imei is for a Note 4 o.O

i cheaked the imei with *#06# and it's the same on the back of the phone

another freind say to me dial *#1234# and if the last 3 numbers from each line are the same that mean that the software isn't edited and it's official

well this is the result ....

Hi,

I recently flashed Android 6.0 following this tutorial .

I have TWRP flashed like that : fastboot flash recovery recovery-twrp.img.

But I really prefer CWM because TWRP is freezing every time and I can't install Gapps and SuperSU etc.

So please help me if you know how can I have CWM that can be flashed like : fastboot flash recovery recovery-cwm.img (for exemple).

I don't want flashing boot I want to flash recovery partition.

Thank you !

This is good but why do you take out the dll's and stuff from the folders?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jruser:
Could you explain? Is there a problem with this?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] gullum:
Yes because the imageinfo.bin and imageinfo.txt only tell the kernel (OS) what the drivers should do and when you install a 3dr party app it will make a call for something inside the dll but there is no dll so the app will not work as it should and in worst case will not work at all. the same happens if you use a compressed dll or exe they will run but if an app calles for something thats squesed out it wan't work... this is this biggest source for bugs

OCTAIVOI's kitchen rom has the same problem
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] double_ofour:
btw, for those who want to beta test it.. its already release in public.. see my post in sticky thread..

@gullum

its the same with or without.. if you encode the rom, the kitchen itself will remove the dll only the module..

i havent include the recmod.exe in decompiling the rom.

But its fine dont worry

Hi All,

I've been doing a lot of reading and would just like some clarification that I have understood everything correctly!

My scenario: I've bought a used (but in great condition) D802 from ebay UK, due to arrive soon.

Here are the list of steps that I think I should take to get it from stock LG android to the official CM12.1 (Lollipop) software:

1) Ensure that it is actually a D802 using this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/general/refurbished-fake-lg-g2-check-available-t3069242

2) Assuming it's not on LG lollipop version, upgrade to LG lollipop using their official methods.

(This should give me the latest LP bootstack and bootloader)

3) Root using this method:

http://xdaforums.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772

4) Use AutoRec - Lollipop version from playstore:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=b007.autorec2&hl=en_GB

(This should leave me with LP bootstack, but downgrade the bootloader from LP to KK)

5) Go into the recovery (TWRP) which was installed by AutoRec and flash over a newer (also Bumped) TWRP recovery by blastagator

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/development/twrp-twrp-2-8-0-0-kernel-f2fs-tools-t2898705

(This recovery should be more recent than the one provided by AutoRec)

6) Make a full backup (including EFS partition) in blastagator's TWRP recovery

7) Flash official CM12.1 and OpenGapps

8) Smile!

If someone could check this out for me and give me any comments/feedback/advice, that would be most appreciated!

Thanks

Mackaa
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptorddd:
yes after step 6.

flash hybrid bootstacks. go to main menu. reboot into recovery from recovery. then once in twrp flash rom gapps.

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/development/boot-g2-hybrid-bootstacks-t3183219
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mackaa:
Thanks for your reply, raptorddd.

However, if I upgrade to the latest LG android software (LP), then use the AutoRec app for LP, wouldn't this effectively give me the latest hybrid bootstack?

Therefore, no need to flash a hybrid bootstack?

I'm sorry if I might be missing something here!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptorddd:
nope auto rec is twrp and it will give you old twrp so i suggest to use balsttagator thermal twrp.

you will have normal LP bootstacks most people get boot loop after flashing cm13. then installing hybrid boots phone.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mackaa:
Yep, I understand that AutoRec will give me TWRP (albeit an old version).

But AutoRec will also downgrade my bootloader to KitKat right?

What I'm asking is that if my phone is running LGs latest software update (lollipop), and then I use AutoRec, won't that mean that I'll then have a hybrid bootstack? (Evertything in the bootstack will be LP, apart from the bootloader which will be KK due to AutoRec's downgrade)??

Mackaa
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptorddd:
if am correct theres only KK and JB bootloader. no LP bootloader so ithink you will have KK bootloader bumped.

and youll have normal bootstacks. there are bootstacks and hybrid. hybrid is recommended for stock,and CAF roms. most cm roms are CAF. so more compatibility.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mackaa:
Oh really? I'm sure I read that the latest available bootloader for LG G2 was a Lollipop one?

What I read may have been wrong, though!

Kodi was previously installed when purchased and settings show 2gb free. Sometimes movies buffer, I let download prior to watching to see if it would help the a I've glitch but it didn't.

[Fire TV General] Dude360:
I found out a while ago (from XDA) that it has 1GB RAM but 512mb is reserved for the GPU meaning it only really has 512mb to play around with.

I run a AFTVG1 downstairs and AFTVS upstairs running the same skin setup, SQL connections and shared resources.

The G1 runs perfectly on the 2GB but the AFTVS just cant cope.

Even using Confluence and very few addons, even on full factory reset and base Kodi install I can easily drop to 20MB free RAM and watch Kodi grind to a halt.

A lot of it is the Amazon crap running in the background draining resources and nothing to do with your WiFi or net speed (I'm 200mb cable).

If I hadnt had got it for £19 it would have gone back and replaced with something like a RiPi2 or spent a little bit more and got a cheap crappy Android TV box, they would run a lot better than the AFTVS!

Then when go in to programs and launch it

then go to tweaks

select advanced settings

click next, generate settings, then apply settings buttons. It will tell you to restart kodi

R\Force close kodi

then BAM no more buffering! You can also install custom kodi builds with this puppy
