Hi [MENTION=2560614]roirraW "edor" ehT[/MENTION]

This is a long ongoing issue. Basically it surfaced after flashing back to stock as I was having random reboots and thought it might be custom ROM related, but after flashing stock I still had the reboot issues, so figured out battery was toast so changed that and reboot issues were resolved.

But since flashing stock MM on my D855, I cannot get any custom ROM (CM/AOSP) to boot on my ROM except Bumped 5.0.1 ROMs.

I can install any stock or stock-based ROM without any issue, however, custom, no go. The funny thing is that I was running custom ROMs on my phone for more than a year without issue. I could throw any custom ROM at it, and where other people might have issues, my phone would always run them flawlessly.

Not anymore :(

I have flashed stock Lollipop about 7 or 8 times (via LGUP and LG Flash Tool 2014) and stock KK about another 4 times, so I should have blown out any MM remnants at this stage.

The weird thing is that my phone doesnt boot up with stock based KK either (all of them just hang on bootup), but LP or MM is no issue. I am running LIMITLESS ROM v10.2 at the moment (based on v30a). I cannot remember if I tried v10b actually, I did so many of them..

I have rooted from LP each time, and it is always successful (I have used 3 or 4 different rooting methods) and TWRP is successfully bumped each time.

I have tried numerous versions of TWRP (2.6/2.8/3.0/3.0.2).

I have done a full wipes (cache/dalvik/data/system), even including a format data after and still no luck..

The reason I was asking about methods to get some kind of log info during bootup was so I could maybe get some info on why it doesnt boot custom ROMs..
[G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Hi! Argh. Sounds really frustrating! Bear with me since it sounds like you know what you're doing and again I have the VS985. Among the 100% stock unrooted you flashed, did you only flash KDZs or is there a TOT available and did you try that? The reason I ask is that TOTs flash more partitions than KDZs and can fix problems that KDZs and ROMs can't. I can personally attest to that but once I experienced it and asked an experienced developer, it became clear that's expected, and when I extracted the partitions out of the VS985 10B TOT and compared to the KDZ I indeed noticed one or two more partitions.

Again, don't mind me if I'm telling what you already know. The other thing is the Bootstack situation, although I haven't ever experienced a bootloop due to the wrong Bootstack, only non-working modem or dangerous combo of our Marshmallow sbl1 partition along with the BUMP-vulnerable 12B aboot (bootloader), necessary for TWRP and for root on Marshmallow. Reference this VS985 post if needed http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63438031&postcount=2. I don't really expect that to be the issue and since you tried from a variety of stock ROM situations, I wouldn't have expected you to have an issue with every combo you tried.

Edit: actually, the remaining item is the MicroSD card. I know it sounds silly but it's happened. Try it without the card and see what happens. While you're at it, try with the SIM ejected too just for the heck of it, won't hurt to try.

Good luck! Hope you figure it out.
[G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] aoleary:
Hi.

I didnt know that about there being more partitions in TOT vs KDZ files actually..

I have tried flashing without SD card also already.. I haven't tried without sim card, so why not :)

Is there a specific reason you mentioned flashing v10b, by the way?
[G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] roirraW "edor" ehT:
In the case of the VS985, 10B is the first or earliest build we have, and we have a TOT of it, so I was just using it as an example. I've only ever noticed a leak of one TOT per variant of a device at the most, but if you have more than one available I would choose the earliest.

Mostly useless information to you, but the VS985 does have a 10B KDZ, but it's 10B_01, whereas the TOT is 10B_03. 10B_03 was the official release so it can get OTAs, and 10B_01 was a leak so it can't. From what I've seen, the sub-build _## is only available as part of the filename when you get a hold of the KDZ and TOT. 10B for the VS985 is also the easiest to root because we can just use the Stump app with its brute force option. For us, rooting gets more complicated after 10B and putting TWRP on gets more complicated after 12B. Both 10B and 12B are still KitKat. 23C and 24B 5.0.1 are rootable via PC/USB/adb script. As far as I remember, 35B 5.1.1 and definitely 46A through 48A 6.0 has no method of permanent root, only KingRoot on 35B through 47A which gives temporary and suspicious root.
[G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] aoleary:
So, I haven't actually flashed v10b as I have handed my phone in to a phone repair shop as I have been having a number of hardware issues such as wifi not working, high temperatures at the back of the phone and SIM card detection issues (most likely related to the phone heating up).

However, before I had handed it in to the shop, I flashed a custom kernel (Gabriel stock-based) on the stock ROM I was running at the time, and that reminded me that I have flashed Gabriel kernel on a number of different stock and stock-based ROMs, and if I flashed a stock-based custom kernel, I also got the same bootloop error.

So I was wondering if that might help in any way to pinpoint what is going on with my phone...
[G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I don't think that's specific enough to narrow things down any in this case, but doesn't hurt to note the info! :) Good luck with your phone!
[G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] aoleary:
So my feeling is that there is something up with my boot image, even though my phone is rooted and bumped and TWRP is bumped, there is something my phone doesnt like in AOSP/CM or modified stock-based kernels that is not visible in LG stock.

Is there any tool/script that I can run that would collect info on the boot process...
[G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'm not very knowledgeable about logs or experienced collecting or looking through them, but maybe collecting a logcat through adb (over USB) while booting would help? You'd have to have USB Debugging turned on, and make sure it stays on across reboots - there's a common issue that is easy to resolve where if USB Debugging doesn't stay on after you reboot, turn it on, plug it into a PC, manually switch the USB connection mode on the phone from MTP and PTP and back to MTP and then disconnect the cable, and it'll stay on then.
[G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] aoleary:
So, I was suggested the app Liveboot, which was created by Chainfire of SuperSU fame. This app outputs a log to the screen and to a log file on the device of all the calls that are made during bootup (with user selectable level of detail).

Running this app, I did two traces. One with just stock LG and the second after flashing a modified stock kernel..

The stock log is

21KB

, the log from when I flashed the modified kernel is

904KB

.

Liveboot Stock

Liveboot with kernel

This is not an issue with the modified kernel per se, but with some settings in modified kernels. Any way to pinpoint the offending code/parameter?

This is not directed at you "roirraW "edor" ehT", but to any and all that could help me to figure out what is going on..
[G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Just wanted to say thanks for a reminder about that app. I had even tested the app when it first came out and I somehow keep forgetting about it. :D
[G3 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] aoleary:
So I have isolated the issue to some kind of hardware issue.

If I leave my phone turned off for a while with battery out, I can get it to boot custom ROMs. I have tried with 2 different batteries, so its definitely the phone itself. If I reboot the phone once the phone has booted up, then it boot loops again, even if the phone is only booted for a few minutes.

I had to debick my phone a couple of months ago using the short circuit method (due to some stupidity on my part) and it seems that that has fried something in my phone.

Since I brought my phone back to life I have been having issues with Wifi and SD-card slot not working, plus lots of heat and terrible battery life.

I would love to know though what it is in custom ROMs/Kernels that causes my phone to bootloop.

It would be great if I could isolate that somehow.

Anybody have any ideas, by any chance?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandyMC93:
Hello!

I saw today that my Samsung Galaxy S6 has a new Software Update, when i try to install it, it downloads it, then asks me when i want to install it (like now or overnight)

when i install it now, it restarts the phone like it usually should, but when the Phone is rebooted, my S6 takes me to my TWRP Recovery Menu, so my question is, how do i install

the latest official software update without bricking my rooted S6?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxM4tzexX:
First question. How did you manage to install twrp and still be able to download ota Updates?

Secondly: you only can install ota Updates over stock Recovery.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandyMC93:
i dont really know, i just saw that my phone has an update, i clicked on it, it downloaded and then asked me to install it, and my phone is rooted and has TWRP, i dont even know if it would be a good idea to look for the software update and update it with odin or something, im completely new at this so i cant really answer that question. maybe it didnt even download the update. i wonder where it WOULD be saved if i really managed it to download...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StepBrObiwan Kenobi:
I'm still to figure out what you did because technically speaking Samsung would have picked up you rooted and you would receive a message saying your system has been modified.

---------- Post added at 11:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------

If what you saying is true then when your phone reboots into TWRP to install...look at where the OTA is stored. Copy it to internal storage. Reboot TWRP then flash OTA and reflash root
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandyMC93:
weirdly this message doesnt pop up at all, and im running rooting, xposed etc. its very weird...

[IMG="1"]http://i.imgur.com/Bquvj7j.png[/IMG]

[IMG="2"]http://i.imgur.com/YHNiv1P.png[/IMG]

as you can see, it downloaded and after the installation, it asks me when the installation should begin, if i install, the phone reboots and puts me automatically to twrp, i reboot back to system and my phone says that the installation failed and if i want to send a report to samsung...

I'm having serious trouble with my phone, after bad-rooting it (boot.img was meant for MPJ24.139-23.1 and I've got MPJ24.139-50) and loosing my IMEI and my Mac Address (and wifi of course) I've tried flashing the old boot file back and now It's stuck on fastboot and recovery mode. I've tried multiple things but it only seems to get worse, I can still transfer files and install them with twrp but I can't get it to flash the stock rom (doesn't find MD5 file and fails zip signature verification) nor can I recover it via RSD Lite for it refuses to recognize the phone. I simply don't know what to do anymore, please help. :(:(:(
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] smitharro:
Don't use TWRP to flash a stock ROM. Use (m)fastboot to flash the extracted files one by one in the right order.

Send with my Moto G4 Plus (XT1642) using Tapatalk!
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] RichardKL2:
Everything solved by now. I found and read the right tutorials, flashed the stock rom via mfastboot like you said, and rerooted it with the right image. :D

The thing is i had a Xperia with CWM and never had problems with it when flashing roms via recovery, so i thought it wouldn't be a problem on twrp... :p

Everything is ok now, thanks bro.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ma_gu:
Hi,

I need auto update functionality for my application. I.e., the new exe/dll shall be downloaded by GPRS and existing program files shall be replaced. Now I wonder, how this could be done in an easy way.

The problem is, that the application is continuously running and updates shall be done more or less "on the fly". Currently, the application is automatically started on boot through registry settings in HKLM/init

So my idea was the following: Creating a "starter programme" for the application: When the device (HTC ARTEMIS) is booted, the starter programme is first launched (through HKLM/init), looks into a pre-defined directory if there are any files. If there are, these files are copied into the directory of the application. Afterwards, the starter programme launches the main application. Do you think that could work? Or are there any better ways (maybe even supported by the OS) to perform SW-updates?

Günther
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RStein:
I have auto update functionality in my commercial application.

1) When data is replicated to server, main appliation also check availability of new version. If new version is available a and upgrade is mandatory, application launch new process - updater.exe.

2) Updater waiting to main application correct exit (saving data on dirty forms etc.)

3) After main application exit updater download new version descriptor (list of files with targer location, install scripts (dll with well known special interface which can be used for many special tasks - create shortcuts, delete file, modify registry, install new certificate). Updater downloads all files, process install scripts and then launch main application again. New install CAB file is usually stored to extended ROM (autoinstall after HARD Reset).

As a server component is used web service with some methods (GetDescriptor, DownloadFile).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Lieutenant:
Seems to be a good idea. This way, you can update the application while it's running and changes become active when the device is rebooted or the application is exited and started again. It's just excellent.

My needings were more simple, so the update feature I designed works as following:

1. The program is divided into a launcher, an updater library and the true application.

2. When the program is started, the launcher copy the update library call such a copy (just call it updlibcpy).

3. updlibcpy uses http to check if an update is available. The check is performed by downloading an "update manifest" containing the MD5 hash of each file of the updated application and checking it against the MD5 hashes of the current program files.

4. If one or more files need to be updated, updlibcpy does the task. Since only updated files are downloaded, no bandwidth is wasted. The only file that cannot be updated is the launcher, but it is so simple that it should never need an update.

5. When updlibcpy has ended, the control is passed back to the launcher, which invokes the true application executable.

The main difficulty was handling the high packet loss that the HTC devices I used has shown. This caused frequent application hang-ups during start-up, unless the GPRS connection was terminated and started again. Once I solved this problem by giving a timeout to the update (using threads), all worked perfectly.

The only improvement I'm thinking about is some sort of "transactionality" of the update, so that if one file updates correctly while another doesn't, the succesfully updated files roll back to the not updated version.

Currently using Huawei Honor 4c(kitkat 4.4.2)..can anyone tell me why can't i hide apps in it ? Though upgrading to lollipop and marshmellow will do so but don't ant to do that..

And if it is not possible in kitkat by default then how does this feature comes with third party launcher(hola,nova etc)..I mean if hide apps feature can be enabled with these laucher then why not a separate app only for this? Yeah there are some apps but why they want rooted device...Here's my questions bellow-

1)If third party launcher can hide apps in kitkat then why not developers making a separate app for this?

2) Can I lock app folder? for example in app drawer some time we make a group folder of photo editior's app or make a group folder of games..can i lock that group folder?????? :confused::confused::confused:
[XDA Assist] Killnarnar:
So, iv recently been messing around with my phone, as far as learning the full extent of the possibilities a rooted phone has. My phone, which is currently locked at 4.3 (Jellybean) Is rooted with Kingoroot and has Superuser installed. Iv tested my phone's hardware with various apps, and it appears it could stably run a KitKat ROM. So, after hours of scouring the internet for the course of action i should take next, i was told to install either ClockWorkMod recovery or the Team Win Recovery Project's recovery. Iv tried both, but neither carry my phone. So, with this in mind, iv looked in other places, like the "Online Nandroid Backup" app, but to no avail. I even looked into apps like Flashfire, but i still am unable to find a workaround. Im not sure where to go from here, but if anybody has any suggestions on where i could find a custom recovery installing app for my phone, or steps i could take to flash a KitKat ROM to my phone by any other means, i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parseval43:
Hi everyone, hi experts!

I´ve a problem with my Z3 compact. I was having a huge battery consumption from the Google Services so I decided to save everything, repair software using the PC-Xperia Companion and start from scratch. But after that now everything is even worse! My battery drains about 40-50% in one night whithout using it! This time there is no meaningful info from the apps... power consumption in mAh in every app looks small... but the overall battery drains very fast so I can not detect where the drain is coming from. Here some pictures:

What can I do now? Reinstall again? Send the phone for repair?

Many thanks in advance!

UPDATE: After forcing the phone to use 2G or 3G the battery drain stopped. So it seems that it happens only when LTE is selected (independently wifi is enabled or not). Question now is if this is a problem of the LTE module of my phone or a problem of the net supplier.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didgesteve:
Chances are Google has a lot to do with it. Do you have poor reception in your house? If the phone is straining to pick up and reply to a poor signal, that can have a big effect on overnight battery. Try switching to 2G overnight.

Other common cuplrits are Facebook and Whatsapp or messaging apps that are constantly pinging data. Try turning the wifi off as you sleep. Also using location based wifi will make a difference as I see your wifi stays on constantly. Have you disabled wifi and bluetooth scanning in location settings? Disable Google location history. I know this sounds daft but go to settings/storage - hold down cached data and delete. This won't effect any apps or services but does make a diffference, I didn't believe it myself until I tried.

Looking at your graph there is something keeping your phone awake at night. Try installing BetterBatteryStats, this will give you more of an idea which service is causing the kernel wakelocks, post your questions about the name of a service causing the problem on the thread as they are very helpful with the answers.

There are lots of reasons why Google Play Services are eating your battery, try a few fixes yourself, check which version of Play Services you have installed , anything older than 9.4.52 needs replacing. Remove your google account, wipe data for Play Services and Download manager, restart to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik. Restart phone, add account again.

There seems to be issues with fitness trackers and bluetooth, if you have bluetooth on all the time, see what happens if you turn it off?

I can recomend Greenify app that can make a difference in putting apps to sleep, it also helps you see which apps are awake and on.

Check in settings/developer options/running services to see what's on and using most memory, you might be surprised at what you find. To enable developer options go to settings/about phone - press on build 8 times, then you get a message that develper options are availabe in the settings menu.

If all else fails, I can recomend Slim 2.5, which is giving me 4 days from one charge and moving to a custom rom isn't as difficult as you might think.

I noticed that after installing new ROMs battery usage is relatively high in the first day or so. Hence it may improve over time (to some extent at least...).
