[LG Leon Questions & Answers] konorbi:
Hello!

On my LG Leon 4G LTE H340n there is a problem with booting, it stuckts at LG booting logo. When I try to put it in download mode (volume up and connect usb) it displays security booting error and then black screen showing only.

So I can't get it into download mode, can't boot it, and I tried putting it in fastboot (with volume down and connect usb), but that fastboot mode doesn't really work it gives failed command not found on every command.

So how is it possible to reflash the stock recovery (to allow download mode) and then the ROM?

I already have the needed .img files (laf.img, recovery.img, etc..)

I read on other threads that it is possible to write those img files to the correct partition but you need to short testpoint. So how to do this on this phone?

Thanks in advance!

To me the time that I came out this error was installing a Custom Recovery and could not fix it I had to send it to sat and I made ​​a change of motherboard do not know if there will be someone alla able to fix it but I think since you can not access the fastboot or the dowloads mode.

Hi, I have a rooted 5.0 phone on OF3 bootloader, and I'm giving it to a friend, so I wanted to downgrade the phone back to a clean stock version. Does anyone know what file I can use for this? I looked in the muniz topic about downgrading to NCE, but it warns not to do that if you're already on 5.0.

You need to go to sammobile or any other site with original firmware, and download a firmware for your model which you can then flash with odin. Don't forget to wipe data and cache.

[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] stewakg:
Hello. Thanks for this guide. However since I am not much into android I got one question. Will rooting my phone delete all the data I have on it? I set up my phone, installed all the programs and so on but I'd like to have rooted device cause I got used to use some apps on my previous rooted phone.

So:

Following this guide will erase everything or no(make it as factory reset)?

Thanks for reading and moreover thanks for your answer. Best wishes.
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] demien_max:
You can skip erase cache dalvic and just click reset. Everything will be as it was. The phone will have a ROOT, everything should work as expected.
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] stewakg:
Thanks. I will update you tomorrow with results.
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] Keksmeister:
Just so you know: "wipe cache/dalvik" does NOT do a factory reset and will not delete your apps/messages/whatever. There is a separate option in TWRP to do a factory reset (aka "full wipe").

Wipe cache/dalvik should always be safe to do, without any data loss. After you wipe cache/dalvik the next reboot will take long and you will see the "Android is updating ... Optimizing app x of y" screen. Other than that, there are no bad side effects to wipe cache/dalvik. On the contrary: it can sometimes solve problems if you have random random crashes or "app has stopped working" popups.
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] demien_max:
My mistake, I installed the root after changing the rom on a clean system.

The day after I made wipe again, but that from the menu and there is added whipe date, did not pay attention to it.

It turns out that doing wipe cache/dalvik is safe.

Thanks. Regards :laugh::cool:

- For safety before you do OTA remove fingerprints from the security options.

I had a problem with the 08.06 update. I flashed the stock rom and the device was OK but than the PC didn't recognize anymore the device, so now I can't flash twrp or anything else. I tried to reinstall the drivers but nothing changed
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] demien_max:
The same thing happened to me on my Windows 8.1 after 31.5.16 OTA. Because on the other laptop I have Windows Vista I installed the drivers there and there did the last update.

For now, I did not have time to delve into my Win8.1, tried different drivers without success.

Write if you solve the problem.

Elephone changed something in the preloader, after flash with version from ROM 2016.03.15 (I use a second PC with Win Vista) everything works again on my Win8.

However, probably after the next OTA preloader again be changed. So I think that this is a temporary solution.

If you're trying to flash the entire rom it should work but flashing OTA's to an older firmware version sometimes errors out as the firmware doesn't have the correct base... I.E. - you're missing essential services and files from the other OTA's missed .

What Windows you have? Have you tried another?

Exactly at which point the phone stopped responding? After installation SuperSU? Try turn on TWRP (Hold Vol+ and Power) and do Wipe cashe/dalvik or Wipe Factory Reset (Erase all data).

SP Flash Tool v5.1552 required

Thank you! Works for me!

You are linking to SP Flash Tool v5.1520, however your screen shots show v5.1552.

I tried v5.1520, but it does not accept the scatter file in the TWRP archive.

v5.1552 works fine for me, download here:

androiddatahost dot com/tools/sp-flash-tool-windows-v5-1552

I tried the latest v5.1620, but that one crashes when connecting the phone (Windows 7 64 bit).

---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------

Try

I tried on a PC and a Laptop with Windows 10, on a Windows 7 laptop.

I tried step 2 again and everything seems to be ok, shutdown the phone and that was the last time it worked. i disabled the battery.... nothing works....

I have problem with rooting.

I already have stock rom 20160608, but i can't root my phone, when i connect my phone to my laptop(Win10) it connects for 2-4 seconds and then disconnects. I tried to install MTK drivers, to reselect USB configuration, but it still don't work. I can transfer files to internal storage or sd card, but i can't flash recovery files...
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] demien_max:
If you do everything right. You click download, before you connect your phone.

Probably preloader from 20160608 ROM does not work with the drivers on your Win10.

I had the same problem on Win 8.1, as I wrote before I used a second laptop running Win Vista.

You can check in Device Manager (Windows) if when you connect your phone it shows a yellow exclamation point. If so, the driver probably does not work.

Good luck
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] SliFaZ:
I installed other drivers and now everything works fine. But when using FlashTool I'm getting an error instead of Download OK.

Come to my mind two options:

(1) At any time - make flash official ROM

(2) Wait for the OTA, make a flash recovery to the original. Install the OTA (typically removes root).

I got my new HTC 10 just this past Tuesday and today (Saturday) I received my new case (Spigen), micro sd card, screen protector (Spigen), and charger. I am in for the long haul. I'm a bit disappointed on the battery life but I think it's because of all the apps running in the background. I installed Boost+ and hope that will help. Any other suggestion would be appreciated also. This is my third HTC phone (HTC Incredible, HTC M8, and now the HTC 10). I like HTC phone design and interface. I'm in for the long haul. Or at least until the next upgrade cycle ends.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] zimilaci:
To be honest, I will send it back today due to the followings:

- The charger stopped working at the 4th charging cycle (the cable is still working though)

- When I touch the lower part of the display near to the fingerprint sensor, you can see the touches on the display like on an LCD screen when you push it a bit harder.

upper part of the display is fine)

- The speakers are quite funny, you can barely hear the upper speaker (tweeter)

- The missing apps (like gallery, music player) are bad...I don't want to install a custom rom (losing warranty)

- The camera has issues and the quality is not good enough.... I am not sure if any software upgrade could solve that...

but yes I am just complaining and trying to find a phone which has a smoothness of a HTC, an audio quality like the Microsoft/Nokia mics, big 5.5 screen, android and maybe stereo speakers :D

Although I didn't hate my AT&T branded S7E I'm enjoying my HTC 10 much more with root and leedroid and the added durability of aluminum vs all glass. I do miss wireless charging and private mode. But totally worth the trade off IMO.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] av911:
Yep, I returned mine. Probably a bad comparison comparing stock with rooted phone, but the missing "features" doesn't work for me.

Comparing my Galaxy S4 to the 10:

- No wireless charging

- Buttons too far down (And can't turn off the lighting completely. Also prefer a physical home button.)

- *ROOT* Plugging it in to charge turns on the screen (Big nuisance to me. If my screen is turned off and I want to charge it, what's the point of the screen turning back on?)

- Stock Android Quick settings (despise this, taking up too much space and takes 2 swipes to get to it with one hand)

- No IR (came in handy quite a few times)

- Air gestures (handy when I'm cooking, don't have to touch the screen with my dirty hands while scrolling the recipe. Or when I'm working on my car.)

- Weight (maybe I have girly hands and/or holding it wrong, but it hurts my hands after long periods. Or I needed a case to have a better grip on it.)

- and other minor things I can't think of right now.
