[General Questions and Answers] HelloByeMan:
Hello! I'm a noob, quite a panicked one at the moment.

I decided to contact people who actually know and have experience with broken phones, before I do anything unadvisedly.

Here's my story: A few days ago I got an LG G2 F320S, which came with Android 4.2.2. My friend suggested I should put a newer Android version on it, so I did (or at least tried to).

First, I rooted the phone and it was successful.

Then I followed a guide from androiding.how for flashing KDZ files, and downloaded a Lollipop KDZ file for LG G2 F320 S. (Sorry for being unable to post the links, I am new to the forums and therefore unallowed to post them.)

I started the LG Flash Tool 2014 and the flashing began.

It all seemed to be fine, until it stopped at 40% and the progress bar didn't move for 15 minutes. I decided to unplug the phone and reboot it.

Then THE HORROR happened...My phone displayed the LG logo, then a standing up android with that spinning circular nut in its' belly for a few seconds, and then the LG logo again. The LG logo stays until I turn the phone off. This happens every time I turn it on.

I appreciate all help, thank you.

[LG G Flex 2] Avantu:
Hello guys! I did fail today. I wanted to install flex mods v4 from this forum, so i did clean install by LG Mobile Support Tool to unroot it, then factory reset, then root. Afterwards i've installed flashfire, i did normal backup which is on my phone... then flashed Xposed without problems and went for h955 v4 mods... everything was going fine i guess and then suddenly authentication fail #9 came in. My phone boots into download, tried to restore it by LG Mobile Support tool and it did recognise it, but stopped at 9%. Anyone has v15c kdz to flash? Or can i use normal backup/rootedsystem.img which should still be on the phone?
[LG G Flex 2] r4p70r:
You will find and need LG_Root.zip and all necessary infos in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/g-flex2/development/lg-g-flex-2-ls996-zv6-sprint-5-1-1-t3169212

Or download LG_Root.zip from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347788843

and do this steps:

6.	Power off your device, When the device is powered off, hold volume up and insert a USB cable connected to the PC Wait for the drivers to install

7.	go to the LG_Root folder (the one you downloaded) Double click ports.bat (This will give us the COM port in which our device is connected we are looking for the Diag port)

8.	In the root of LG_Root folder start a command promp (Inside of LG_Root folder hold shift and right click a blank space you should see "Open command window here")

9.	In the command window type the command "Send_Command.exe \\.\COM4" (no quotes)......(NOTE: change"4" to ur diag port number from step 8.

10.	Type "id" and press enter (no quotes). You should get back some text starting with "uid=(0)root gid=(0)root". If not, press CTRL-C, and do step 10 again (the application sometimes doesn't respond on the first command).

11.	Run the command specified for ur varient in the section below titled to flash the rooted system image.

12.	After a few minutes of sitting, you should get back a "#" prompt. This indicates the process has finished.

13.	Type "LEAVE" (no quotes) and press enter. Your phone should reboot, and your phone will be rooted.

Command for Step 11:
[LG G Flex 2] Avantu:
It acts like there isn't rootedsystem.img on storage. After entering step 11 "#" shows immediately. I can't access recovery mode neither. After typing LEAVE it shows android logo with "deleting/removing" text in my language for a just second, then it restart to authentication fail again, it has happend before too. IDK if something could remove my storage but neither LGMobile or LGUP didn't go higher than 9% progress. I've also did flashfire normal backup before doing everything and it should be on the phone too, could i try to use it?
[LG G Flex 2] Avantu:
Can i do anything before sending it to LG?
[LG G Flex 2] Avantu:
Oh my god my phone is flashing right now! What i did was removing this rooted image by send command!! Hope it will work lol.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitti2:
After unlocking the bootloader a month ago or so and installing tpxmm , I noticed oem unlock under developer options was disabled.

Well I had to enable oem unlock to disable device protection to reinstall tpxmm.

Should this be set to disabled now after install?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divinemyth99:
Doesn't matter. That setting only affects whether you can use the "fastboot oem unlock" command. Since your bootloader is currently unlocked, that setting will have no affect.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quakeaz:
Old thread, but still relevant.

Are we sure about this? If "OEM unlocking" is disabled, does Moto's bootloader not block flashing certain images? I have read about other devices not allowing modification with this setting disabled, including flashing back to stock. The solution was restoring a full backup of stock in TWRP, then booting stock and enabling OEM unlocking.

Can anybody confirm if this is the case with the MXPE?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divinemyth99:
That's the phone I have.

In Android OS, Developer Settings -> Allow OEM Unlocking is Off, but boot loader was previously unlocked and I have TWRP 3.0.0 installed. Rebooting to bootloader shows

Device is UNLOCKED. Status code: 3
Software status: Modified

I was able to upgrade to TWRP 3.0.2 using fastboot despite the Developer Settings- > Allow OEM Unlocking setting.

Re-locking the bootloader and restoring to stock as a bit of a process for another thread and if your bootloader shows "Device is LOCKED" then you will need to change the setting in Android before fastboot oem unlock will work. I've never had to change the setting since then, though, and every factory reset in android set it back to Off.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quakeaz:
Thank you for the info. Have you tried flashing stock recovery with the setting off? If so, no issues?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divinemyth99:
Not in a log time, so I just tried just now and did the following.

Installed factory recovery

booted into factory recovery

wiped cache (I couldn't remember how to get the menu in the factory recovery, so that took a while =D)

booted into android

rebooted back to boot loader

flashed twrp

booted into recovery to verify twrp installed and is functional

Everything seems to be working.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quakeaz:
You flashed stock recovery with the OEM unlocking option turned off, correct? That's what I was reading on a Hauwei device was the problem. With the setting turned off in stock, it wouldn't let him flash stock recovery image. He had to restore via twrp backup.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divinemyth99:
Yes, I left the OEM unlocking option in Developer Settings turned off through the whole process. I haven't turned that setting on since I originally unlocked my bootloader back in January.

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TVD1903:
Probably Squid Kernel with the lionfish governor, but that governor does compromise performance somewhat. However, with some tweaking, it is possible to achieve great battery life with good performance as well. See the link in my signature ;)
[LG G Flex 2] X1ras:
I feel a little stupid asking this but it's been quite a while since I actually flashed an img.

Basically my question is, can I just flash a system.img instead of using ota updates?

I know I can use LG up to downgrade my firmware with a kdz but I haven't seen a kdz for the latest firmwares.
[LG G Flex 2] fergy:
Yes You can flash system image but not messed up versions of it. Which version and which model You have?
[LG G Flex 2] X1ras:
I have h955, whenever I wipe I go back to 10B and just OTA update to 15C.

It takes about 90 mins to update and restore my apps, flashing a system.img will cut that time in half.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peek_12_21:
I just got the x pure with tax money and I want to root and ROM it I've read all the directions but my questions are a little deeper than that I think. I got the 16gb version cause I knew 6.0 and adoptable storage and I got a 64 GB card. So one of my questions is since I used adoptable storage once I download my ROM on device when I wipe the device before I flash, is my ROM data gonna be gone after the wipe or is there a safe place to put it so it doesn't get wiped? My next question is are any ROMs that uses 6.0 adoptable storage so i can get the same use ability out of my SD card, or is that built in to the Android code and always there on 6.0 so it wouldn't matter? Thanks for the help and if this is in the wrong place I'm sorry I know y'all could help me out the most. And any ROM suggestions that keep the moto voice and actions???
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartjeh1991:
1. Wrong forum to post this. Please go to q&a sub forum.

2. When you use adoptable storage you will have 16+64 gb storage on your device

3. Adoptable storage is a beta feature, so expect bugs, with flashing other roms.

4. In that case use you sd card as adoptable storage.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brholt6:
Unrelated, but good to see you over here. I remember you from my HTC days!
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00143:
I found it better to use the external SD as portable storage when flashing ROMs because when I switched ROMs I had to format the card every time. Otherwise it would show up as unreadable after the ROM switch. If you plan on staying on the same ROM then you might get away with adoptable. I had a 16GB model too and didn't have a issue with storage space with it as portable. Just save your music and pics to the card.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peek_12_21:
Thanks man that's what I needed to know
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00143:
No problem. Now if I quoted the right post it would have been better.... I did end up selling my 16GB and picking up a 64GB but for me it's kind of a waste because I put everything on my external card. I really didn't benefit anything other than a lighter wallet :rolleyes:
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peek_12_21:
Yeah my issue with the 16 GB is I have big games so I fill up internal memory fast but everything else goes on my card
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peek_12_21:
So I shouldn't use adoptable storage before I flash a ROM just after it if I plan on staying on that ROM right?

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] Rudegar:
it's a common misconception that a smaller rom result in more storage

the part of the flash which is used for rom will be left empty and unused if

the rom is smaller

it will never be map'd to storage

It seems you still can flash small ROM, but from memory card.

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] ivanmmj:
On the Herald, the Storage size is determined by the size of the os.nb. It resizes it until it hits 51,200k. If I padd the file with blanks, it can flash smaller files, but the storage doesn't get formatted past that one point.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] ivanmmj:
That's what I've done, but my device will not format the storage past the 51,200kb limit... If you pad the file, it makes it that size... actually... I haven't tested it with a larger pad to see if it's the physical size or just the 51,200kb limit...

I mostly just take notes for work and not a lot of them so for now it is all I can come up with. Those 2 note apps I am pleased with though. If you use squid I suggest you always have the next blank page pulled up before you close the program. Somehow it erased an entire page of my notes somehow that I couldn't recover so at least if the app gets open in your pocket somehow by mistake you will have more of a fail safe I think if it was on the next blank page last.
