[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sdfggg:
I've read a whole bunch and can't figure this out:

If I use HardSPL, do I need to do anything else before flashing the ROM?

There are the posts by vippie and Dr Puttingham that show how to do it that way, but neither say anything about HardSPL.

So is HardSPL something new that means you don't have to go through the CID unlocking as explained in the above guides? You just flash HardSPL then the ROM? Or do you have to follow the guides as above and then flash the ROM? Or do you have to do the above AND use HardSPL?

I have a G3 jasjam/htc tytn that has never been modified/flashed.

Thanks heaps in advance!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] todd_jg:
You do not need to CID unlock to update with a new ROM, if you use HardSPL (which is highly recommended). You can just do the HardSPL, then the ROM.

However, I do recommend that you use THESE GUIDES . I have not looked at vippies or DrPuttinghams guides, but they are both credible as well. I make the above recommendation based solely on personal experience and other user comments to me.

Good luck. It is not as scary as you think.

Hi everyone, I was wondering what the best ROM for the 10.1 (T-520) was? I recently picked up the tablet and I thought I would have no trouble finding a ROM like I have with my phone, however, it seems the 10.1 version doesn't have many options. If anyone has any thoughts, I'd be happy to hear. I miss not being able to install some of my apps because the android version is too old.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] f_ries:
Everyone has to figure out which rom is best for himself/herself. I am running CM12.1 because it is at least android 5.1.1 and I like CM. But for me the battery life is quite bad. It was way better on GraveD's rom but that one is stuck on android 4.4.2 :(

Other roms are of course the stock one and the discontinued resurrection rom
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] tramos:
There's barely any ROM available for the T-520.

My old HP Touchpad (2011) got Marshmallow 6.0

My old Samsung Galaxy S2 X (2011) got Marshmallow 6.0

My Nexus 7 (2012) also got Marshmallow 6.01

All the above have the bare minimum hardware requirements to run the latest Android.

My T-520 (2014) better hardware and everything compared to the above ones stuck with Kitkat!

I have CM12 before but it's back to the original rom as it does not work properly.

Good luck finding the latest one.:)

I'll be glad to see G5's camera app on G4. Thanks!)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepo930:
And why do you want that?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabirjedi:
LOL........
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kemby13:
Lol, who woulden't be glad? But lets be realistic here for a moment, i think everyone would be more than happy if we got the V10 camera working on our G4...

There is nothing to port from the G5, because the only difference it brings (filters, effects, wide fov) is thanks to the secondary 8MP camera, which we obviously don't have on the G4.

The main 16MP camera is the same as on the G4...
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdaorxan:
I think there are more camera features on G5 except filters, effects. G4's camera easly ported to G3. Thats why it can be possible to port G5's to G4
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kemby13:
I guess you didn't understand me well... All i am saying is that the main camera from the G5 is probbably identical to the one on the G4. The same module, lenses and sensor. So the only thing that separates the G5 from the G4 (in camera department ofcourse) is the secondary wide-angle 8Mp camera and the software it brings... You simply can't port that to G4.

Just to be clear, G4 has 1 camera as G3 does, and still no one can fully port the features from G4 to G3 because of the differences in hardware.

According to forbes there is hugh differences quality photos between LG G5 cameras against Lg G4 camera even have the same camera specs. LG G5 have a better tweak in camera software such as better dynamic range, better white balance, less noticeable noise, and no annoying blown out highlight. And Forbes also said that LG G5 can be compared to dslr camera and LG G4 is still recognised as smartphone camera. I hope oneday LG G5 camera can be ported to LG G4..

[T-Mobile LG G3] mdphoenix:
Long story short - Bought an LG D851 off Swappe. It came with CM13. I've been sticking nightlies on it. Currently on 2/14. I tried to put 2/18 and found that TWRP wasn't working - it hangs on TWRP Splace. Then I noticed SuperSU wasn't on the phone. So I installed it. Can't update the binaries. Looks like I don't have root.

Used LG Flash tool and flashed D85120E_00.kdz. Part way through, I get an error that the software cannot communicate with the server and it asks if I want to abort. I let it continue.

The phone reboots, I get the "Android is updating 1/196", etc. After which, it reboots, I get the boot jingle, and then it holds on the T-Mobile screen. I've tried flashing the KDZ a few times with the same result.

So now, I humbly, yet again, ask for help.

The endgoal here, is to have a working ROM with BT and WiFi working. I really don't care what it is at this point. Marshmallow is nice. Lollipop is okay. Whatever. I just need a working phone.

Thanks in advance, as always.
[T-Mobile LG G3] debianmain1:
Ouch!!! Read my CM13 post...you don't need SuperSU anymore (CM13 has root built in)--I had the same problem a while back--fixed it by flashing the old factory version on the phone & then used Purple Drake to root it & then installed CM13...Was a HARD lesson for me.

Upshot---No SuperSU needed--No BusyBox needed on CM13. If you are used to the old way of doing things--you'll get B0rked big time.

Luck to you!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G3] mdphoenix:
I guess trying to push the SuperSU binaries is what effed up TWRP?

I'll check out your CM13 post. But the issue I have is that I can't flash a factory version with LG Flash Utility. I mean, it does, but now it just sits on the Tmobile splash.

Hopefully your post will show me something I missing.

[MENTION=4753397]debianmain1[/MENTION] is this the post you're talking about? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65432245&postcount=158

I tried that DD command to no avail last night. I tried everything I could find before reaching out to everyone for help.
[T-Mobile LG G3] debianmain1:
Yes--the SuperSU binaries B0rked my install real good ( as I understand it--2 different types of SU installed B0rks everything )..... And with CM13, you have to allow ADB & apps to have root. I've been modding phones for years now & CM13 threw me under the bus until I learned what to do... I use to ALWAYS root, install BusyBox & SuperSU---not with CM13 :(

Ya--that won't help you :( I'd look up fastboot commands & try to flash it that way--sounds like you are stuck in a startup bootloop. I did see some info online about starting the G3 in fastboot--I had a very hard time getting my G3 fixed. Do you have a Linux computer to use? It's easier to work with some of the diag stuff with Linux.
[T-Mobile LG G3] mdphoenix:
I can always fire up an Ubuntu flash drive if necessary. I'll get working on Fastboot.

Thanks again!

[MENTION=4753397]debianmain1[/MENTION] Hmmm, Fastboot doesn't seem to be functional. I've got download mode. Can I push something to it that way?
[T-Mobile LG G3] mdphoenix:
I managed to get somewhere yesterday. I tried flashing D85120e_00.kdz and it failed again. I got the "cannot communicate with server" error, then it rebooted and tried running initial setup and failed.

So I tried flashing D85110C_00.kdz. Much to my surprise, it worked! So I ran through initial setup and got the phone working to make sure all was well. I rebooted and got the Red 2. So now here I am. Guides show that I should be able to put it in download mode and reload factory firmware again. But all I get is the "Download Mode" graphic. It never switches over to the updating mode with the circular arrows. I fear the worst at this point, but I really don't know enough about the LGs to diagnose my own doom just yet.
[T-Mobile LG G3] mdphoenix:
Someone on Reddit pointed me in the direction of Board Diag. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to work on D851. Running out of options. Looks like it'll end up being an expensive learning experience.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sl75:
I typed fastboot reboot into cmd while usb debugging mode was not activated in the phones settings, and now the phone has booted into a blank screen. Is there anyway to get out of this?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The phone is on, but a blank screen? Or not responsive at all (like its powered off)?

What happens if you hold power + vol up for 30 seconds or more? This should force a reboot in virtually all situations (except a true brick). But what it reboots to, is another question.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sl75:
The phone was stuck on the bootloader screen. I could connect the phone to cmd and got serial number etc, but as a soon as I typed fastboot reboot into cmd and hit enter, the phone went blank screen and never came back on. I have tried all button combinations loads of times and left it on charge for hours.

I think the phone is done, all I see in device manager now is QHSUSB_BULK. Shame since it was on bootloader screen before hitting fastboot reboot and could have been repaired.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Did you do any fastboot command that may have led to this?

Did the phone previously boot into OS, then was unable to (stuck on bootloader screen).

I guess what I don't understand, is the exact sequence of events; and you exact actions, commands, etc.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sl75:
when I got the phone it would not boot into recovery or OS. I tried reboot from the bootloader screen and the bootloader would reload. I tried recovery from the bootloader screen and the bootloader would reload.

I was advised to try this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6

When I tried the first step; fastboot reboot-bootloader - my phone switched off and has never switched on since.

Im not 100% sure what the previous owner did to the phone, it did say software modified at the top of the bootloader screen, but thats all I know.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Thanks for clarifying. Unfortunately, there wasn't anything obviously wrong done with the phone (that might lead us to a fix); and it doesn't look good if its charged for several hours, and no response to button combo power+vol up.

Try the button combos with and without the charger connected (a few folks have had luck with this - for no discernible reason). Other than that, I don't think there is much you can do, short of maybe JTAG.

A couple suspicions (and they are just guesses, really):

1) emmc was already fried, which caused the phone to no longer boot into OS in the first place. Then it eventually went from "virtually" bricked to a black screen brick when you were trying to work with it (by no wrong actions of your own). We've seen a couple instances on this forum, where this appeared to be the case.

2) previous owner flashed something they shouldn't have. Similar to case #1 above, just waiting to go to full-on black screen brick. But the effect of flashing something that bricks the phone is usually more immediate.
[G4 General] xdaorxan:
In this topic discuss about this 2 devices. Are you satisfied to see lg's new phone? How is new UI compare to G4? Does G5's modules worth?

If you ask me : The design of g5 simply awful than g4. Probably the build quality is better. New UI not bad at all. Only thing that i didn't like is that, there is no app drawer on G5. It is interesting to see mew modules on G5 but for me, i don't need to use them.
[G4 General] Noker7:
Hands-on videos made me change idea about this new G5:

It seems to be a very good phone and the new UI is quite fashinating to me :)

(But launcher icons are ugly, ahah :silly:)

I don't appriciate new design (the front), but that would be confortable to use, IMHO
[G4 General] Spaceboy60:
Think they should have stuck to 5.5 inch but guess their thinking is 5.3 inch phone is nearer size of most of the flagship phone competition, so in theory more likely to sell more units. Whether in reality that's the situation only time will tell
[G4 General] chriskwarren:
The smaller display means no G5 for me....5.5in is the smallest display I will go for these days.

I'm going to see what the S7 Edge looks like (on paper and in-hand)...the rumoured 5.7in screen with the curves might feel like a 5.5in device without the curves. The battery and waterproofing I'm hearing about has me interested in this product, and the Note 5 has much better outdoor brightness so I'm hoping that will carry forward to the S7 series.

If the S7 Edge does not do it for me ergonomically, then I'll see what the V11/Note 6 has to offer later this year, or if I get impatient maybe the Nexus 6P (but the 6P might not be much of an upgrade for me over the G4).
[G4 General] lastsamuraial:
Personally,im not very impressed with the new G5.

[G4 General] imcass:

[G4 General] daddymikey1975:
Most likely, bootloader unlock will be impossible, so for me it's a no go (but that's subject to change if development takes off)
[G4 General] Spaceboy60:
Can't see many people buying modules. After all your gonna need to take case off of you want to use them, and how many people are going to want to risk dropping their brand new phone without a case on. I just can't see it taking off anyhow, don't see that's whatwhat the majority of people want from a phone.

And the metal premium body looks pain ugly imo. May have well stuck with plastic/leather.
[G4 General] Kemby13:
Sure, they should've used 5.5" screen, but that raises one important question: How big do you think the G5 would be if they used 5.5"? I look at it this way, G2 had 5.2" and one of the best screen-to-body ratios ever. Now the G5 has 5.3" screen while at the same time being taller than the G4 and having a smaller battery... Not impressed at all :rolleyes:. They are fishing in the dark, experimenting too much and instead of focusing on the important stuff (soc, screen, camera, battery, design), they introduce some gimmicky "friends" whom practically nobody will use as they will probbably cost 50% of the price of G5. I'm a bit dissapointed...
[G4 General] admirdante:
Well, I'd be the first to get a module for a bigger battery. And you can't see people using it? Yeah I mean, it's that much better that we basically get clone after clone of the S6 or 6S that are just sealed off and "premium". LG is literally the only company that is actually trying to innovate stuff and do something different. I watched the S7 conference and it was like watching any Apple press conference ever. A lot of fancy words with a lot of bull**** behind it. As for the case, I've had an iPhone 4, iPhone 5, G3 and now a G4 and I have yet to put a case on any of my phones. And no, they don't look like they've been trough hell and back.

That is true, the screen to body ratio just gets worse. And how didn't they focus on the important stuff? You have a brighter screen, the 820 SOC, a better camera (or at least equivalent to the V10/G4), a premium metal design (looks nice to me). The only thing that sucks is the smaller battery, but then again, maybe the 820 will compensate for it with better efficiency? Who knows, we'll see.
[G4 General] linasj:
Feature wise it's alright. No worse than my current G4 (didn't use QSlide or, really, any of the LG additions), but the smaller screen, lack of an app drawer (which, I know, can be compensated for with a 3rd party launcher; then again I would've wanted to give the stock launcher a go), and, most of all, a hideous design are the reasons why I would not get the G5 (moreover, I own the G4 for just under five months). Wonder what they come up with next, but if I had to make the switch now, it most likely would not be a G5.
[G4 General] chaki-:
Small battery, no back buttons, small screen, hideous bulge at the back, friends without benefits :) , nice idea with modular build but afraid to see "my modular hole entry display broken" like comments......

No go for me. Waiting for next year. Except the SD 820 nothing worth spending so much money.
[G4 General] DoKaTSuYa:
We have to add a bigger space and pay for Bang & Olufsen module to have a good quality sound ? We don't have to do this with other devices like Meizu or HTC or others devices, Stoopid LG...
[G4 General] NeoDJW:
G2 and g3 was small diference and no need to upgrade from g2 to g3, g2 to g4 yes, same as g4 to g5 - NO :D g4 to g6 - yes , simple :D
[G4 General] Sammae7:
I'm done with LG after the G4 because of its issues, mostly the bootloop.

If I wasn't, LG lost me at a smaller screen, smaller battery, and removing the buttons from the back.
[G4 General] wiidbzxt:
Everything was going great until I realized that I need to turn off the phone, remove the battery and turn it on again if I want to listen to music using a 3.5mm headset.
[G4 General] claydoh:
Not that pretty (camera protrusion?), but a metal body is nice.

Size - not a big deal to me, as I use both the G4 and V10 and don't seem to have a preference in terms of size

Camera - interesting having two rear cameras, thou I doubt I would care. The dual fronts on the V10 are actually somewhat useful (group vs single selfies)

No volume button on the back, that I don't like so much

Module addons? Another meh for me, personally. Replaceable battery is good.

UI? meh. I use google now anyhoo. the G4 and V10's uis are ok, though.

I'd take one if it were free, maybe. Dunno If I would upgrade to one, though.
[G4 General] KarlDag:
What?
[G4 General] wiidbzxt:
My mistake, for a moment, I thought that the top-mounted 3.5mm jack was just the IR blaster.
[G4 General] kyogiro:
I don't care much about the looks. While I prefer the leather exterior instead of this quite ugly metal back, I could live with it.

But the main letdowns to me are :

- awful body to ratio design, this is a big 5.3 inch phone

- no app drawer, while I could install a 3rd party launcher, I would lose the double tap to sleep feature

- no more Qslide (calculator mainly really)

- no multi windows anymore. I rarely use it, but when I needed it, it was really helpful.

- no 64 GB on-board storage unlike the V10

I don't see how the new LG user interface is a step forward whereas the hardware has been upgraded : modules even though I'll doubt I use it, up to date SoC, dual cameras combo and fingerprint scanner.
[G4 General] Co5min:
I am not attracted by G5, not even a bit. Which means I will be sticking around with G4 and keep the money in my pocket. The main let down in my opinion is the look.
