You should call seller to remove your device from his mi account. Or you can try EDL flashing a ROM with clean all option to remove that account from your phone. Then you can login with your account.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hitmancho:
I've read pretty much every source I can find on getting a custom ROM up on my LG G2, which I haven't even rooted in the past 2 and a half years. My warranty ran out a while back and I'm getting a bit bored with stock now, and I want to start flashing, but the last time I did this was with my old HTC Desire HD.

As you can see I'm on 20d on my LG G2. It's a Hong Kong version for some reason, lol. What I considered doing was the following: update to the latest Lollipop official ROM using the LG Flash Tool (it gives me an available update to 30d); root using the rooting app, install a recovery with AutoRec Lollipop, flash a thermal recovery from the installed recovery (very scared of my phone overheating, I'm even considering putting it on a large, fast-running fan while doing anything, read too much about the phone overheating and making the screen yellow); back up my phone's IMEI data; use the recovery to install a brand new (I'm hoping a Marshmallow) ROM. I also understood that I need to flash a bootstack to change my bootloader to a KitKat, because it can be "fooled" using the BUMP thing. Is that correct? Do I even have to update my phone to Lollipop in this case? Also, how likely is it to overheat while doing all of these procedures?

Thanks in advance!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hitmancho:
Sorry for the necroing my old thread, but I have yet to do anything with my phone. I am also still on KK. I saw that I can start rooting and install TWRP from it straight away. After that I need to flash a bootstack, right? How likely is it that I can brick myself? By that I mean what could get mixed up to get a brick while flashing. Also, has anyone had overheating issues while doing root, recovery installation and flashing things (newer TWRP, bootstacks, new ROM)?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarshisnotMellow:
Hi, i can understand your situation as i was in same till today, g2 with stock kitkat.

i finally installed cm13 after rooting it and the phone feels fresh.

you have understood most things right and ready now.

you dont need to upgrade to lollipop if youdont want to, you can start from kitkat itself.

few things i can tell you to begin here,

Root your G2,

for kitkat i found few good methods. Either do it via ioRoot using pc. or you can use towelroot or kingoroot apps to do it from phone itself. I used kingoroot since i didnt have a system with me. You can find these apps by searching at google, jst tyoe kingoroot. At first i was skeptical but it worked nice.

after root, you download autorec app, this is to install a custom recovery(twrp) for kitkat. you just have to install the app and run it and press install recovery/twrp and it'll do the rest.

after you have twrp installed, you need to upgrade it to latest version. For that download blastgator's twrp for your model and flash it through your recovery.

oh and dont forget to learn, how to enter into recovery yourself, since each G2 model has different method.

once you have these things you can start flahing roms. Most of the instructions on how to flash certain rom with what bootloader and bootstack etc. is written in its own thread, so you can learn that from that rom's thread that you will flash.

but basically, you need kk bootloader and lp bootstack for cm13 and above. usually both these things come in one zip. (if not you check for hybrid bootstacks)

Just make sure you are downloading things For your Model, if you try to flash different models stuff into yours, itll brick.

The autorec app, blastgator's twrp and ioroot can be found in a sticky thread in G2 general section, along with many other files and guides in that thread, theres complete index in that thread of all thing for all g2 models .

here : http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/general/05-10-index-guides-fixes-roots-t3218178

also usually the phone doesnt heat up while flashing, just make sure your battery is more than 80% before you start and itll be ok. Even if it does a little, after a custom rom itll be fixed. I suggest you try cm13 for starters as your first custom rom.

hope this helps you :good:

Good Luck ::highfive:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hitmancho:
Thank you very much, appreciate the vote of confidence, lol.

I've actually considered installing Resurrection Remix Marshmallow. In the thread they point to the hybrid bootstack I need to install. I am on a D802 phone, so I'll be downloading that boostack. Anything I should really know before flashing that particular stack, except that I need to run the latest recovery from blastagator? Can I boot back into my old stock KK installation before putting the new ROM and Gapps on my phone and wiping + flashing, or will the phone not be able to boot that old firmware with the new bootstack? Theoretically, can the phone still get bricked even if I'm using the latest recovery + the proper bootstack? I've read that the CM13 devs don't recommend flashing bootstacks but instead using the kdz flashing method to flash the latest Lollipop release...

[MENTION=7813154]MarshisnotMellow[/MENTION]

Does the cwm mm come pre rooted? Or unrooted ready from whatever idiocy I'm ready for?

1.stock

2.root

3.autorec twrp

4.upgrade to blastagators 3.0.2-1> or a different version I'm missing? This one says blastas twrp bump

5.put cwm rom, bootloader, gapps <where to get gapps zip?> onto internal memory somewhere familiar to me

5.wipe all but internal memory

6.flash bootloader

7.flash rom

8.flash gapps

9.???

10.profit

Check my steps teacher? I'm gonna start it anyway when my phone hits 80+ percent
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarshisnotMellow:
cwm is clockworkmod, its a custom recovery. i think you meant CM 13, mm rom.

yes, the Cyanogenmod team have placed root access into the rom, so once youll be finished wih installing cm 13 rom, you can just go to settings, Tap build number repeatedly until a message will show "congrats you are a developer now". that'll open developer options in main setting screen Go into that and youll see root access. turn it on. youll have root.

you can check in root checker app to confirm root access for confirmation. you wont need super su app in any of these roms anymore.

your steps :

stock

1. root

2.autorec (for installing twrp on your phone) for kitkat its on forums, for lollipop its in google play. just get the one for your model, search for autorec in google play.

- blastgator's twrp requires you to have any version of twrp beforehand in order to install his version.

3. download and save blastgator's latest twrp, when youll go to download his twrp, itll be written there which one's is the latest version, just download that one and flash it through recovery.

4. Yes place all files in your phone, you can get gapps from opengapps.org/

select arm- 6.0- whatever size you like(, pico is lightest contains all essential gapps, stock contains every gapps)

5. wipe yes.

6. flash bootstack

7. flash rom

8. flash gapps

9. once gapps done, just hit reboot system.

10. enjoy

yes go for it when you have more than 80% battery, this is to ensure that all flashing steps go through without any issue, you dont want your phone to run out of juice while flashing rom do you :cool: that could cause soft bricks. so always keep battery more before flashing.

[IMPORTANT] : remember to read instructions of the rom you're installing and adjust the steps as instructed in there.

Goodluck :highfive:

I decided to go with the latest 29.10.2016 nightly of CM13 for my first run on this phone. Everything went through, no one died, lol. I'm going to start installing and restoring stuff now, get Xposed on, like I have on my TF701T tablet and trick out my phone's appearance. Just a note - after you install new bootstacks your phone's MAC address will change, so if you have a WiFi network with a MAC filter you might want to add your new address.

Hello,

I am now at android 6.0.1 with this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/transformer-tf300t/development/rom-t3237867 (Read: KatKiss) I have TWRP version: 2.8.7.2 installed and I have bootloader: WW_epad-10.6.1.27.5-20130902

I am having troubles with some app's. And I want to return the the lasted stock ROM for this tf300t from ASUS itself. But I am afraid I will brick the tablet because I have a higher version of the bootloader for the stock android version . Can Anyone help me return to the lasted stock ROM for the TF300T ? I have downloaded already the last 4.2 stock ROM from the asus website.

Thank you very much!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebonit:
Don't worry, you won't brick your tablet! Follow the instruction exactly.

First of all you need „Minimal ADB and Fastboot“. The USB driver must be installed on your PC.

Go to Asus and download the latest Stock Rom for

your tablet

(check if you have already got the right one). Unzip it 2 times. You should have a blob file now in the extracted folder. Put this blob in your fastboot folder.

Open cmd on your PC and type:

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging blob

Let it run. It seems that nothing is happening for about 5 Minutes. The whole thing can take up to 20 Minutes, so just stay calm and wait till it’s finished.

Now you should be back to full Stock with Stock recovery. Then you must flash your Kang TWRP 2.8.7.2 again.

After that your tablet will be ready for a clean install of KatKiss MM 6.0! Good luck!

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaneRagans:
Here is my problem: I woke up this morning and my power/volume buttons do not work for functions such as turning the screen on and off and chnging volume. However, I can still power the device on normally, power the device down(long press power button to force shut down), as well as enter recovery, so I know the buttons are not broken. I have already tried rebooting as well as clearing cache and dalvik/art from TWRP and disabling some xposed modules that I thought may have been causing the issue. I am using the Shield k1 with root access, xposed, and TWRP on the latest firmware. Any and all help help is highly appreciated. Thank you all for your help ahead of time.

Note: If you have further questions pertainig to my situation, please feel free ask.

I was messing with these a few days ago (trying to add a deadzone to my ps3 controller[unsuccessfully]) and I may have messed something up, although if that is the case I don't know why the problem didn't appear earlier when I edited the files.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] ArcWedges:
Hello !

I m kinda stressed to have to bother you but I am kinda lost as what are the options for me with my current setup :

Model : Nubia 7z max

Model Number : NX505J

Nubia UI : v9.5.0

Android : 4.4.2

Kernel v : 3.4.0-perf-gca4a1a0

build number : NX505J_CNCommon_V9.29

hardware version : NX505JMB_A

I do have some knowledge about rooting/tweaking phones, i had much fun with my previous Xperia arc S but ressources are less abundant for the nubias. And since its a little niche, I have difficulties determining a course of action.

So the phone was prerooted by the vendor which explains the "weird" version v9.29 (while at the moment, official versions were like 1.42, something like that). It is indeed rooted. From what I understand, I can't do an OTA update. So...

of course, lots of rom : http://www.needrom.com/category/zte/serial-nubia/nubia-z7/

Question is : what should I do first ?

From what I gathered, sounds like something like : Install a custom recovery system (twrp ?) ? Install a stock rom ? Both ?

(bonus question : will I still be rooted ?)

i know there is risk with everything and well... if i brick it, i won't be too sad but it is still a good model and I like the dual sim capabilities. And regarding that, if by luck you are still reading this, the reason why I want to try an other rom is because i dont know why I lost the abilites to set settings in the dual sim settings interface : phone is still working but Data Network usage is forced on card 1... the one that can only do 3g and not 4g. I did a factory reset and it didn't change a thing.

Thanks for reading me, and pardon my noobness :)

Hi. Go to needrom and:

First you should install twrp recovery (I recommend all-in-one tool by tigreos), then install 1.64 to open path to upgrade, then merge partitions (I'm not sure but I think it is stock 2.13) and then there is plenty of possibilities:

- you can install stock android 5.1 - ROM 3.5 if I'm not mistaken

- or fine working CM12.1 / CM13 from paolothlw8

- or very promising Resurrection Remix build on android 6, build by pchatzop
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pchatzop:
Your first priority is getting a backup of your efs partitions. These are the modemst1 and modemst2 partitions and you can backup them with the app partition backup. If anything goes wrong, you can restore your imei with them. Then you have to upgrade to 3.22 version with the Nubia updater tool, to merge your partitions. Then you should install twrp with tigreos tool, which will give you the ability to install anything you want. Keep in mind that tigreos recovery works only after you have updated to official lollipop (merged partition table). If you want to install my rom, you can follow the rest of instructions in the respective thread. But keep in mind, always keep a backup of your imei partitions, that nubia updater tool is really finicky may cause you to completely lose your imei if you don't have a backup.
