[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bestouff:
Hi,

My LG G3 d855 has fried, the flash chip looks dead (unable to flash new system partition, when I try the dmesg from the recovery kernel shows error from the flash chip).

So now I'd like to know if it's possible to install everything on the SD card and boot from there. I already made a copy of all the partitions (I can still read from the flash), the /system partition is unusable but all the other ones look good.

Has anyone tried that ? Or does anyone have an idea where I could stick some boot arguments to make it work ?

Firstly I'd like to thank you for this best forum.

My problem is that when I run the terminal as super user it's can't read sdcard it's give me nothing .

This is the commands

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

root@ja3g:/ # cd sdcard

root@ja3g:/sdcard # ls

root@ja3g:/sdcard #

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

But without running as super user give me

Hi,

Superuser access on Terminal isn't useful for directory listing, as the function is mostly related to system functions.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
On most devices, the SDCard is either mounted or at least linked to either /mnt/sdcard or /sdcard. However, when the device features both, an internal and external SDCard, the latter usually is to be found "inside" the former, e.g. at /sdcard/external_sd. Alternatively, it may be mounted at /mnt/extSdCard or /storage/extSdCard. Note the capitals. Android filenames are case-sensitive.

I think you just tried the wrong path. You can use a file explorer to easily find the correct path.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ABSLHM:
I tried

/sdcard and /mnt/sdcard

But this one just work...why

/storage/emulated/0
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandark52:
Try this:

cd /storage/extSdCard
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ABSLHM:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ABSLHM:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Then you are mixing things up because /sdcard is the phone memory.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandark52:
For phone memory : cd /storage/emulated/0
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ABSLHM:
I know that ? but how I can make it

/sdcard
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandark52:
Why do you want to make it as /sdcard? Your apps will crash because of it. May be I could help you with if you tell about it.

All the best!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ABSLHM:
Ok.... thank you a lot. ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ABSLHM:
Why it's crash....I saw some videos on YouTube it's work with /sdcard

Sorry for my a lot questions?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandark52:
Its ok you may ask many questions in a thread. I just want to know that why do you want to change the /emulated/0 to /sdcard.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ABSLHM:
Thanks...I don't want to change it if it will crash my applications

But I see many phones (like my phone ) work with /sdcard

That is the reason .

and i want to know everything about my phone. (Curious person ??) just it

Thanks again.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] gmboat1:
Can anyone go to this site and download the webview.exe file launch the dll module and show the controls for my security cameras on their pda or pocket pc.

I have tried this on the 700wx and also on the 6800 mogul. I like the mogul much better so I took the treo back.

I can get to this site from a regular size desktop and also my laptop. When you go to the site it asks you to download the webview.exe file and run it. This puts the webview.dll file (module) in the same directory that you downloaded the webview.exe file to; with no problems. It then launches the web interface with a login screen. You login to the server and look at the 16 cameras in real time. When I try with my mogul I get a message that says webview.exe is "not a pocket pc application"

I tried copying and pasting the webview.dll file to my mogul but I don't know where to put it or how to launch the webview.dll module.

the compression I am using to show the live stream is h.264 or I can use mpeg4.

Hmmmmm

I 'm on the XDA's developers site;I just knew all my questions would be answered by now.

Look Guys, I don't want to come off sounding like a pompous idiot who thinks he can prod u guys into doing his homework for him. It's just that I got this 6800 on recomendations that I had read in the forums and I really do want to keep this one.

I have purchased three phones in the past week. I started out with the Treo 755p took it back because it had the Palm OS I was sure that was not going to work, but the Sprint sales guy assured me this was better than the 700wx because in his opinion Palm OS was better than WM5. I played with it for two days reboxed and took it back, I switched it for the 700wx because it has Windows OS the best and newest thing in Palm. He was right; it is, if you don't have a need to see streaming security cameras.

I took it back to another sprint store because the guy had gotten frustrated and says to me He can not switch phones more than once. Hmmmmmm

In the past few days I have been reading the forums; I think it was at Treocentral, or somewhere and I came across one of those articles' "which is better types" TREO or Mogul, I went to the Sprint store in our super mall and I found a working display of the Mogul.

I played with the thing for about two minutes and was blown away. I said to my self I have to get this to work for the security web cams; but not just for the camera's; I want to offer this as a turn key solution to my client...He has a treo 700w. I know he is going to be pleased with this. The size difference in the screen; the sliding keyboard, I am nuts about this thing already....

I'm not talking about jpeg's refreshing every 5 sec; I'm talking live streaming video from 16 cameras with the option to control PTZ's

All I Have to do is get the Internet explorer part on the Mogul, to work with the camera's software request to download and install webview.dll I don't know where to put this file on the Mogul, I don't know how to put it on the Mogul (yet). Ihave only had the Mogul for one day

go to the site, and please help

[Mogul, XV6800 General] defaultdotxbe:
if the exe was written for desktop windows its not going to run on windows mobile, simple as that, youll have to see if the company that makes the security cameras also makes a pocket pc app for them
[Mogul, XV6800 General] ScottC:
And there is your answer.

It isn't a PocketPC application. And you are trying to run it on a PocketPC.

Won't work.

The only occasional exception is .net applications that sometimes work on a desktop and PDA.

What brand of camera are you connecting to? There are some apps out there for network cameras so I may be able to help you.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] gmboat1:
Good point!

I guess I was thinking about installing the webview.dll and that would have solved the problem. I am not sure about the software for the camera maufacturer they are from China, and not much info to go on...

When I go to the site: HTTP://70.63.106.214/default.ht

I get this msg: "To enable control work: Tools-> Internet Options-> Security-> Custom Level Reset to: low or Download and Install it

When I download and install the file; (webview.exe) it is a executable that unpacks webview.dll ver. 2.0, in the same folder with webview.exe.

I did not realize or I am not sure if the webview.exe is the program interface for the application to work, but now that makes sense. I thought the httpsvr.exe that is running on the DVR PC was the app for the web interface and would allow all this to work on any platform.

I guess if there is a way to decompile the webview.exe and make the neccessary changes to include the pocket pc header information; recompile it, test it, fix it test it again. then this would probably work. There is not enough information on the software manufacturers to begin trying to find a solution for this.

I have absolutly no programming skills. I realize now, that this may be a question for the developer/hack forum.

I would like to give it a try though. So if you can point me in the right direction; or if the Mods would repost this thred in the Dev/hack forum; maybe those guys would probably know what tools I would need to get started in this.

I appreciate all your help and it has made me think about the resolution, and the approach to my problem in a different way. Thanks

[One (M8) General] redpoint73:
Which version's firmware (from the link) did you flash, exactly?

Far as I know, this conversion has been attempted by some experienced devs, and never successfully.

At a minimum, the partitioning on the CDMA variants is different, and flashing a GSM firmware will result in a brick (again, from my understanding from several reputable sources).

There is already a confirmed safe method to enable bands on the Verizon/Sprint variants: http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/general/unlock-bands-qualcomm-device-phone-t2880239
[One (M8) General] Theboiamond:
On step 3 I flashed a non-red text version of the same firmware I had

stock

.

The "secret" is change modelID and CID without change the firmware type.

Probably with a Global modelID and CID, the phone will accept a global firmware also by flashing a stock RUU, I don't know, anyhow a custom rom recognizes global unit during the installation and unlock all features.

I yet tried this http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/general/unlock-bands-qualcomm-device-phone-t2880239

and

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/lte-band-7-2600mhz-finally-guide-t2992523

but:

- when flashing any other custom rom, I had to dial *#*#4636#*#* and select bands manually anytime

- after a reflash/factory reset, gps does not work and had to modify gps.conf anytime

- I had a VZW that did not sync the italian carrier wind LTE band at all, until i change cid and modelID also and reflash the rom
[One (M8) General] redpoint73:
This is incorrect, and you should

not

be guessing this type of thing, and should not be giving it as advice.

Flashing another versions firmware to the Verizon or Sprint models will result in a brick!

Interesting, but the guide needs some improvement/clarification:

a) The word "convert" in the title is misleading, as this term is most often used to mean a "full conversion" by changing to another version's firmware/RUU. If someone misunderstands and tries to truly convert, they will brick! A true conversion also means stock software, and ability to install official OTAs.

b) You should state

explicitly and exactly

what firmware to use. Again, if a user misunderstands and flashes a non-Sprint firmware,

he will brick

. You should also state this fact as a warning.

Additionally, I wonder if flashing the "no red text" firmware is even necessary. I think the only thing that is different is exactly that (no red text) so I don't see how it would make a difference. I would be curious to see if your "mod" works on fully stock firmware.
[One (M8) General] Theboiamond:
Mmmh yeah, I'll correct some parts to avoid anyone flash a global firmware in a CDMA unit and brick the phone. (with a little help in translate)

So, I put the no red text cause I use a custom rom (cyano) and I dislike red text.

You can also leave the stock one and flash a stock sense rom BY RECOVERY (don't use RUU mode cause it can flash a stock global firmware over the CDMA one).

There's a thread with all backups to flash by recovery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

[One (M8) General] Theboiamond:
Probably there's some misunderstanding.

My "guide" explains how to "fool" a

custom rom

to work as global in a CDMA device.

Flash a RUU means update the firmware also, and it's very dangerous after a modelID change, after my procedure, you will ONLY FLASH ZIPPED CUSTOM ROMS BY TWRP RECOVERY.

CID and modelID must be international (HTC__001 and 0P6B10000); you will never not boot any rom if both are from different "family" (global modelID and VZW CID, or viceversa).

And yes, some roms verge to reboot to hboot, try this one (it worked from me) https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24352994023707448

Then, please keep in mind that you were one step away from a brick and I recommend caution xD
[One (M8) General] Theboiamond:
I disassembled some M8 (cdma and not, HarmanKardon and standard) and they all look the same, someone says the VZW have a different nand....I don't want to try over... there is no reason to put a global firmware in a CDMA unit when it works perfectly as a global yet ;)
[One (M8) General] Mr Hofs:
This caught my eye and is actually wrong info, you can update via ota with an unlocked BL. The only thing you need is a pure stock rom (never rooted) and the stock recovery.

It can't ota update anyway because you flash custom roms (with your explanation) and they are for 99% rooted (root changes system binaries and ota fails) and do not offer ota (at least certainly not with firmware/BL updates) !

I suggest to delete that line from the OP because other members will read it and spread it saying that they must relock their BL otherwise there will not be a ota update and that is simply not true.

Thanks in advance. :)
[One (M8) General] Theboiamond:
Probably I confused with sony xperia, I had it for 2 months and it fails android updates once unlocked the bootloader...

Sometimes HTC updates are dangerous in a stock phone also, I'm disassembling an M8 that the upper side of touchscreen does not work after an OTA upgrade to lollipop... there is no way to recover it even a firmware/android downgrade or restoring the entire phone by a RUU. Inexplicably, touchscreen is physically damaged.

Thanks for clarifying the guide. I'm sure its a useful one. Just wanted to make sure it didn't lead any folks into misunderstanding, and damaging their device. For which I'm sure you agree!
[One (M8) General] Theboiamond:
Obviously!

I think also LTE and GSM bands are not totally a firmware question, cause I would already find some modded firmwares for cdma devices.

I discovered those bands are a balance of firmware / mid / cid / rom / hardware and something more.

So, put a global firmware in a CDMA device, if even not a brick, can be only a failure in the intention of unlock gsm bands!

There is no one reason to own a similar risk.
[One (M8) General] cincon:
can i use use other than LTE: 700/1700/1800/2600 MHz (Band 3, 4, 7, 13) bands? i have verizon htc m8 but i am not able to use 1/5/8/20 bands. with this technique?
[One (M8) General] Theboiamond:
To unlock LTE bands you can simply use NV calculator and put these values using this method http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/lte-band-7-2600mhz-finally-guide-t2992523

Sometimes LTE bands has also a hardware/region/carrier incompatibility, for example band 20 does not work in sprint phones in Italy even the frequency 800mhz is supported in the USA or UK.
[One (M8) General] MeltdownSpectre:
CDMA vs GSM

Honestly, I wish CDMA devices could be converted with a simple firmware flash. The differences in hardware make it a pain to work with.

I bought a Sprint M8 a few weeks ago thinking it could be converted since it was S-OFF when I bought it.

I took it home, downloaded 6.12.401.4, flashed it through htc_fastboot, it refused to boot. I kept searching around for stuff.

Keep in mind, at this point I had changed my CID to HTC__001 and my MID to 0P6B10000

I eventually figured out that you can't just flash 401 RUUs on an M8_WHL, so I downloaded the Sprint MM ROM, flashed it and it showed me an MID error, I then regretted everything. MID couldn't be changed without booting device and I was stuck. I flashed TWRP, typed the ENTIRE command to change my MID back to 0P6B7000 and flashed the RUU. Phone re-booted but it was annoying to use, Sprint bloatware, the different signal icon, the annoying GPS icon and the goddamn handsfree activation pop-up.

I later figured out that a custom ROM for an International variant would work with a Sprint M8 if I flashed a multi-variant kernel after the ROM. So, I did that, flashed ViperOne, then some random kernel. It booted fine, now that I was running a ROM that looked like the international variant, the OCD on that part had died down, it was now time to get Band 3 (1800MHz) working, since that's what my carrier uses for LTE.

I spent 2 hours a day for 4 days writing different NV Values or using DFS to edit NV values. They would stick and everything. No LTE icon, only EDGE.

I eventually gave up and sold the phone because it was frustrating to have such a complicated setup, different ROM, custom kernel, messed up NV values etc.

I went out searching for the GSM International variant, I finally found one. Sold mine at a loss of $40 and got that one. Couldn't be happier. It's an M8_UL, I even forked out $25 for S-OFF through Sunshine and am happily running the 401 ROM now. It serves as a brilliant second phone.

Moral of the story: Don't buy Sprint phones if you're not on Sprint.

I tried most of the things in this thread, but when you're a person like me, it just didn't feel right having a non-International device.

Plus, now I get Band 3 (1800) and Band 20 (800) support since it's on the EU ROM with EU Radio. :D

[MENTION=4347131]Cashreedhar[/MENTION] can I use your unlock method after I run an ruu to update to the latest marshmallow firmware and then unlock and root the device to follow the instructions to unlock all bands for 3g, I own an htc one m8 sprint cdma running Android 4.4.4 stock rom and unrooted as of now( which would change if I can get 3g working on my phone using the procedure you gave)
[One (M8) General] Theboiamond:
Sprint M8 has some 3G bands primarily locked on software. Some roms locks GSM 3G bands by default reading the Sprint CID.

This guide fools custom roms to set bands unlocked by default during rom installation.

With a stock rom this guide is unuseful....you can only type *#*#4636#*#* and set bands manually.
[One (M8) General] Cashreedhar:
Maybe yes. The method I posted was independent of ROMs and all those collections were made during kitkat time. Even with the device update to Lollipop or by flashing Sprint RUU SIM unlock was permanent. If you followed the SIM unlock method (any method) and if your SIM is getting the GSM signal, the method I posted should work. QPST changes are rather permanent as the changes will be made into the system (ROM won’t be having permission to make changes into the radio system), the only reason you will lose SIM unlock will be running the master reset code using the MSL code (that code wipes pretty much everything and makes the phone default factory unit.
