This is a FYI Bulletin:

It is meant to be helpful and not to invoke negative lashback or feedback.

If there is a better way I, and everyone else are open to suggestions. But these are things I have done and know to work.

Again this is meant to be helpful.

I noticed a lot of people having issues in these areas.

If you are having trouble with compatibility issues of the ROM or SD card. You may need to do a "Clean Flash" or fix a corrupted SD card.

To do a clean flash:

A "Clean flash" means/consists of:

1.)Booting into TWRP.

2.)Tapping wipe, Advance wipe.

3.)Selecting (ticking the check boxes)

** a: Dalvik cache

** b: System

** c: Data

""d: Internal Storage""

** e: Cache

4.)Sliding the "Swipe to Wipe" button.

Then you would install the Rom from the SD card.

That is considered a "clean" install.

Wiping internal storage "Cleans" gets rid of residual folders, files and settings left over from previous apps and ROMs. And gives you back MB's/GB's depending on how many years/Roms you have flashed not doing it this way.

If you followed these steps and you're still getting compatibility issues with your card, you're probably going to have...

To reformat your card:

I suggest doing it in TWRP.

Save/Backup your pictures, music, apps etc. to your pc. (Because format erases everything on the card).

(COPY/PASTE, and check that the pictures are good to go and not corrupt on the pc).

USING A GOOD WORKING ROM.

Boot into TWRP.

Tap the wipe button, Advance wipe.

On this page select/tic only your SD card and push "Repair or change file system" button.

On this page you'll see your card info.

If it says anything other than "vfat" you will have problems.

Tap the "change file system" button. And it'll give you six format options.

You need to choose the "fat" botton, on the next page swipe to confirm, or back out to cancel.

Go back to the info page and it'll show "vfat" as your format. Your good to go!

Now add your pictures etc. back to the card from your pc. Me personally, to be on the safe side, I add them to internal storage and copy/paste small amounts at a time to the SD card to help avoid possibility of corruption.

Reboot phone.

Check them on the card to be sure they are all good. (Apps should have their icons and launch when tapped. They are corrupt if they say phaser error, and of course pictures should be viewable).

If that all checks out then you can delete them from internal storage.

When everything is good, boot into TWRP and make a backup of the Rom to the card.

I really hope this can help people to avoid problems installing this Rom or any others.

[MENTION=5132229]xpirt[/MENTION] thank you so much for bringing us this amazing Rom.

Hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do.

yeah in that thread you linked they were talking about kdz file for fido/rogers, which confused me, because in the repository they are talking about there is only tot file for fido/rogers

I don't really understand that

But what I'm wondering is will the MSI thing work for the tot as well?

tot involves different files and a different method from what they were talking about so I just want to make sure I don't mess anything up

do you know if it works or not?
[G3 Android Development] gonk24:
The Rogers files are kdz in the repository linked in those instructions. The MM on is so the LP one that's in a zip will be too. There's also a video walk through in the LGUP info.

[G3 Android Development] mark_zuckerberg:
are you talking about the rogers d852.zip in the canada d852 folder?

that zip only contains a tot file
[G3 Android Development] gonk24:
LGUP will work with KDZ or TOT files. I always thought some variants used KDZ, some used TOT. Evidently that's not the case after a little reading.
[G3 Android Development] mark_zuckerberg:
Ah I see

And I know LGUP works but what about the MSI
[G3 Android Development] gonk24:
I suggest watching the video in the LGUP post in that thread. It goes step by step.
[G3 Android Development] DJRobBlaze:
Isn't LGUP a .up file that you use "Activity launcher" to access and install with LG's hidden FOTA feature?

And .tot and .kdz files are used with different pc installation softwares.

I have used LGFlashTool v1.8.1.1023 with .tot and .dll files to restore phone back to Factory "Out of the box" state, it erases all traces of doing anything to your phone and puts it back to like new "out of the box" state (Kitkat 4.4.2).

I didn't have as good of luck trying to use the .kdz files software.

Am I saying this right?

Check out the restore thread, post #3.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2785089&page=1

It describes LGUP as a flash tool that does both kdz and tot and says it's the only way to go from MM backwards to LP.

mark_zuckerberg is having an issue with a D852 where he factory reset after flashing Fulmics. He's lost root and TWRP. Seems like a tricky situation.

If going from MM to LP (with a factory flash method) is only possible via LGUP, that appears to be the route he needs to be able to root again and move forward. I haven't had the need to use a factory flash on my G3 yet so I'm only versed as far as what that thread lays out. Did it plenty of times on the G2 but MM must have different requirements to go backwards.
[G3 Android Development] DJRobBlaze:
Wow,

Yeah that sounds like big trouble...

I would .tot back and start over. [MENTION=6077058]mark_zuckerberg[/MENTION] if that sounds easier a good place to start is where I started it all...

https://youtu.be/1WgXuxDbmbc

He has the links for restoring back to "out of the box" state and rooting.

Once you're rooted you can Flash Fulmics again, or anything else you want.

To be honest I don't know what would be easier for you.

Wishing you best of luck.

Sincerely,

DjRobBlaze

Ps. [MENTION=3768519]gonk24[/MENTION] hope I'm not stepping on your toes. (not meaning to offend)

[G3 Android Development] gonk24:
Help away! The key issue here is that MM isn't rootable so he needs to flash back to LP since it's on Fulmics MM before the reset. According to the restore thread, that's only possible with LGUP. The other semi-issue is that it's stated that LGUP restores the 855 variant from MM to LP, no others. He has the 852. However, we found a thread where using a specific msi file, the 852 was able to go from MM to LP using LGUP. I really don't see any other options.

Btw, jump in and help anytime. I wouldn't be offended at all.

[G3 Android Development] DE52:
For some reason, when on fulmics, LGUP can't recognize the phone model, so my solution is to flash a stock based ROM like deneROM, or even better, a rooted stock ROM then use LGUP and it usually works perfectly after that.

First off our phone isn't actually bootloader unlocked, but its bootloader can be bypassed which is why we can install TWRP, etc (they have some code to trick the bootloader when they install). On the other hand, the things which do not contain said code or that are not installed in the right order can cause a black screen with blue/red LEDs (which is basically the bootloader realizing something has been modified). Secondly, the D852 can be rooted on MM. This info can be found in the deneROM thread. It basically requires you to install kingroot (which roots via some exploit in android I guess), use autorec (which installs TWRP) and then install some files including SuperSU itself. Thirdly, KDZs and TOTs for our variant can be downloaded from different sources. Some sources require you to enter your IMEI to get the right KDZ and the latest version.

EDIT: Root instructions for MM on D852

DeneROM OP where you can access his downloads folder for our canadian variants

Edit 2: Thread with links to TOTs (click here in the OP)

Site with KDZs via IMEI
[G3 Android Development] DJRobBlaze:
I don't know why Tapatalk not letting me upload screenshots.

I noticed your on version 2.4.0.1

It looks like the driver is not actually installed.

Uninstall the version you have, when it's done you need to go into: system/ priv-app and delete that folder. And local internal storage and delete Viper4Android there to.

Then install version 2.3.4.0 it will have you manually install drivers and reboot.

I think your driver is not actually installed.

[G3 Android Development] mark_zuckerberg:
Rob, your method is also listed in the post we are talking about, under LG Flashtool http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2785089

The method Gonk is pointing me to is the LG Uptool method, also listed in the post

To be honest I feel really weak about both methods, as neither of them are recommended for the d852 in the post I linked, but seeing as I can't figure out fastboot I'm trusting Gonk's advice.

Also I'm new here so I'm wondering how does this thank system work.

Do these thanks mean anything?

Should I be thanking all of gonk's post because he's helping me this whole time?

---------- Post added at 10:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------

The MSI file isn't specific.

It's actually linked in the LGUP post along with another MSI file, and you are told to use both, the youtube tutorial uses both of the MSI files as well.

Also restore thread says you could do it with LG Flash too no?

Or are you talking about the D852 thread
[G3 Android Development] DJRobBlaze:
There are two models of the d852 model/variant in the .tot download section page. (I can't upload screenshots for some reason)

And yes, anyone who offers you advice, good or not what you want to hear, it is good etiquette to say thanks. (Press the heart button)

[G3 Android Development] dudeawsome:
I'm using version that comes with fulmics
[G3 Android Development] mark_zuckerberg:
I am not very tech literate so I'm very lost with the whole bootloader thing.

I remember unlocking it when I first got the phone and was going through the whole rooting process but that was so long ago.

I tried to fastboot my phone because you can flash recovery through fastboot even without root access, but it seemed as if my bootloader was locked, even though I unlocked it when I first got it.

Also I saw the kingroot/autorec thing as well but there are a few things that were iffy about it for my scenario

1. I don't know how kingroot/autorec/whatever else you use would interact with fulmics rom.

Although my fulmics is unrooted, I don't know what's happening with my phone on a system level, and traditionally you are not supposed to put supersu on fulmics, so I don't know what doing all that might result in on my phone

2. the threads I was reading through there was uncertainty about which supersu version you're supposed to use

And there may be something else I'm forgetting
[G3 Android Development] gonk24:
I only know what the restore thread is saying. I don't have an 852. Like I've said though, the issue arises from not being able to use flash tools to go from MM to LP. That's of course before knowing there is a root method on MM for the 852. I have no idea how reliable that root method is either though. mark_zuckerberg doesn't want to be stuck without root.

The thread I linked in a post containing an msi to use with the 852 was to work with the scenario outlined above. A user had success going from MM to LP with it on the 852.
[G3 Android Development] mark_zuckerberg:
Yeah I know they have the files, I've already downloaded them and am ready to LG UP them soon, but it still says the methods are recommended for D850/D855
[G3 Android Development] dudeawsome:
Passes got out to work I just installed updated and v4 android drivers also app data and rebooted reinstalled drivers rebooted and now it's working

Except it isn't working with soundcloud
[G3 Android Development] mark_zuckerberg:
Yeah I know. That MSI file on that thread you're talking about is linked as necessary download in the LG UP thread and is used in the tutorial vid on the LG Up thread.

The MSI isn't to work with the scenario above, it's part of the original download package.

Maybe at the time of the making of the D852 thread that MSI file wasn't in the download package, also I don't think the LG UP thread specifically excluded D852 at that time, so it signals that despite the fact that the MSI file was shown to help D852 users with device recognition, there may be other issues regarding this method and the D852.

Also with the MM root method, I assumed it was a nono to try and root fulmics rom, whether my fulmics root is working or not.

SD Card Issue

Thank you for this amazing rom.

Having an issue with reading the SD-card. It Accurately shows how full it is but when I try to view the card it is empty. I even tried the sd-card fix in flumics tweaks but that did not do anything

Also, g4 tweaksbox is not working anymore since the update to 3.5

Hello guyz,

I am excited to install this ROM, but there is no installation instructions in OP.

Can someone describe these steps as I am currently using Ti-X 1.3 ROM variant D850 which is on 5.0.1

Thanks in advance
[G3 Android Development] qbal22:
Stock Kernel, NFC off. Same configuration on 2.7 gave me 4,5h SOT, now 40 min SOT and 60 % battery. I had same problem on 3.1 but I thought that problem is solved now. I guess I was mistaken.
[G3 Android Development] brian88:
hope it supports to D851
[G3 Android Development] sociojeje:
pretty much the same as ti-x install. download the zip then flash it on twrp recovery. I assume you are already familiar with these things. choose d850 variant in the aroma. some options are there and you can choose whatever you like. no need to install custom kernel though i'm using solid kernel. if you want it flash the kernel zip file after flashing the rom.

[G3 Android Development] MDeniR:
Yeah , no lag at all with xposed now on 3.5 :D

Great job xpirt
[G3 Android Development] sociojeje:
forgot to mention you have to wipe first before flashing. pretty sure you are already aware of this. I can't really tell about battery since i've been using it for a day. also my battery seems to be losing its juice lately so i can't really compare. bugs should be there as they are everywhere but i haven't encountered anything critical. well since we don't have an official MM rom for d850, it is reasonable to put it as 'beta.'

[G3 Android Development] DE52:
The thing is it isn't unlocked like I said. What you did long ago wasn't technically an unlock (or everyone would have a hassle free life right now getting back to stock, etc). No one's G3 is technically bootloader unlocked. Bump = method used to trick your bootloader into thinking what is installed is ok (aka that it is from LG). The files we install are bumped aka they have LG's signature (a digital one). When you turn on your phone, it checks that everything is "from LG" aka it has their signature. Anyway, this isn't important in terms of your problem.

What's more important is that you can get to recovery without root. Root doesn't run until the system boots up. When you do the button combination that was explained (power + volume down

), you're accessing a partition. This partition had LG's recovery aka the thing that would wipe your phone if you say yes. This recovery got replaced by TWRP. As such, doing the button combination and saying yes to factory reset will go into TWRP automatically because LG's recovery doesn't exist anymore on your phone technically. The only time root is utilised to get to recovery (TWRP in this case) is when you select boot into recovery in the power menu when you're booted into fulmics. This is because root is used to issue a command in the background that tells the phone you want to go to recovery (not possible without root in the system). With the button combination, you're not asking the system to put you in recovery, you're telling the phone itself you want to go to recovery. That's why root is not important unless you're accessing thing from within fulmics.

Concerning which superSU to use. Have you installed SuperSU from the playstore? The app will tell you if you're no longer rooted or if you need the binaries to be updated. If it says you don't have root, access TWRP (technically you can through the button combination). Then you may flash SuperSU 2.52 (traditional root which modifies system) or reflash the new SuperSUs (systemless),but personally I find the systemless SuperSU's to be more of a hassle seeing as flashing them may make your phone not boot up for various reasons (depends how the ROM is setup).
[G3 Android Development] mark_zuckerberg:
I don't know about the whole supersu thing, I'm far from that right now as we were exploring a completely different option on here this whole time, but thanks for the info.

Also I don't think the volup recovery would work fam.

The whole reason I got in this bind was I factory reset my phone (from twrp menu) while on fulmics, which you're not supposed to do.

I had twrp installed before obviously, but since factory resetting I lost root access, and thus haven't been able to install twrp after the factory reset.

So I'm assuming power + voldown and then then factory resetting would actually wipe my phone.
[G3 Android Development] DE52:
Factory reset in TWRP doesn't reinstall LG's recovery or erase TWRP. It deletes the data (where apps from playstore and others are located + their data), cache (some app and system data) and dalvik cache (some more app data,etc) partition...in no way should it affect TWRP. What exactly did you even do after factory resetting? Install fulmics again? Or did you reboot? You shouldn't just lose root after factory resetting although like I said systemless root (new supersu versions) are more finicky. It would be better if you explained every step. For example, what were you installing in TWRP, did you finish installing fulmics then factory reset? What ROM were you coming from? Did you install anything after factory resetting? I'm still 99% sure you still have TWRP at this point and that your fear of losing your data is false. Even if you don't think so lol. I've been to the point of only having download mode working on my phone. Pretty sure I learned some do's and don'ts by now, but I still want to know what you did in more detail so we can troubleshoot your problem more easily.
[G3 Android Development] mark_zuckerberg:
Yeah I posted it all earlier

Basically this is the first rom I flashed, so I was following an online tutorial, linked here http://highonandroid.com/android-ho...-marshmallow-rom-using-twrp-failproof-method/

So I booted into twrp recovery, went to advanced wipe, wiped system

then i flashed the fulmics rom

at this point I don't think I had a choice but to boot into fulmics

maybe I had a choice but didn't notice it, but as I remember it there was no option.

So I booted into fulmics and everything worked fine

Root was fine.

I then installed twrp and went back to recovery, and factory reset it, as per instructed.

Now I know the tutorial I linked talks about installing Gapps, and how the post rom installation factory reset is specifically to deal with Gapps issues, and fulmics doesn't even have Gapps, but I was linked to this tutorial through a page telling me how to install fulmics rom, and the hyperlink linking the fulmics article to the installation tutorial said, and I quote exactly, "Please see our FAILPROOF method on installing Android 6.0 Marshmallow ROM using TWRP!"

So I thought shoot, if they tell me to factory reset after installing the rom, even if I can't see why it's necessary, I guess I better follow their instruction just to be safe. If post rom installation factory resetting works for Gapp roms, it's not like it'll harm a non Gapp rom right?

That and none of the comments on either pages had any problems with the factory reset or with losing root.

So that was my thought process.

But alas, after factory resetting I booted fulmics right back up and root was gone.
