[LG Optimus L90] Firebird3334:
I recently started playing pokemon go and I am getting really frustrated while playing because it lags soo much and my phone is generally quite slow now. I have been told rooting and installing a good ROM can help with this and I have never attempted this, could someone please explain what rooting and ROMs are and their benefits and a how to guide for this phone and also the best ROM?

I know there are loads of threads on this but if someone could link me best threads I would be eternally gratefull!!:o
[LG Optimus L90] Hyoretsu:
First of all, which variant of LG L90 is your phone (D4xx)? And could you go to Menu > General > About Phone > Software Information and tell me your "version" (v10x or v20x)?

Root is the ability for the user to take total control of his phone, from doing as little as automate 3G activation when an app is open to instaling custom ROMs, which are custom firmwares that you can install in your device, just like the stock one you're currently in, but with some modifications made by its creators. As for advantages, with root you have more freedom over your device, and with Custom ROMs you have some tweaks, which change depending on the ROM you choose to install, going from just porting newer firmwares to older devices to being an entire new OS (Operational System, in case you don't know).
[LG Optimus L90] Firebird3334:
Thank you soo much for your reply and sorry about my late reply. My variant is LG-D405n and software version is V20c-234-30. I think I understand what Root and ROM is thx.

So could you link me to the best method to root and install ROM on my phone?

And what is the best ROM for my device to free up the RAM and CPU used on my device to increase my phone speed?
[LG Optimus L90] Hyoretsu:
First of all, install these required apps:

http://king.myapp.com/myapp/kdown/img/NewKingrootV4.9.6_C151_B309_en_release_2016_08_18_105203.apk (For rooting)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify (For flashing the Custom Recovery)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm (For terminal emulation)

Custom Recovery:

TWRP: http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=18679&task=get

Personally recommended Custom ROM, CyanogenMod (Ports Android updates to older phones plus some tweaks) and Gapps (Google Apps, it's needed to have things like calculator, play store, etc):

CM13: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/175208/cm-13.0-20160820-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO0J8-w7.zip

Gapps: http://opengapps.org/ (Go to this link, select ARM in platform, 6.0 in android and Nano in variant, then just click the download image button)

Put the TWRP img, the CM13 rom img and gapps on microSD or internal storage. Open Kingroot and click on the green button after the 3 introduction images. After a few minutes, your device will be rooted. Grab this file: http://xdaforums.com/lg-l90/develop...0w7xxshoxx-t2826150/post54358527#post54358527 (D405n_v20a_patched_aboot, don't worry, it's okay if you flash a different software version aboot as long as it's the same device as yours. The only "problem" you can have is to have your software version changed to v20c, which if I remember correctly, can be fixed using Bootstacks), transfer it to your phone and open Terminal Emulator. Then input the following commands:

su

dd if=(aboot.bin storage directory) of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot

Then, go to flashify and flash your custom recovery image (TWRP or CWM) in the flash recovery img option. After this, reboot into recovery by pressing Volume Down + Power and when you see the LG Logo, let go of the Power button and press it again. Then select yes two times with the volume keys for selection and power button to actually select the options (Don't worry, your device won't be factory resetted if you successfully installed custom recovery). Then, if you want, make a backup of your entire phone (recommended, just in case something goes wrong or if you just want your apps back when the process is done) in the Backup section and then do a factory reset through the Wipe option (Don't select anything, just swipe the bar). Select the Install option and select your ROM zip. After this, do the same process as the ROM installation but this time with Gapps zip. There you go, now you have CM13 installed. If you want root again, you don't have to install Kingroot again this time, as CM13 has built-in root, just enable Developer options and activate root and you're ready to go. Also, if you want the apps you had before the installation, just restore your backup (ONLY THE DATA PARTITION, otherwise CM13 will be uninstalled and replaced with stock ROM). If something goes wrong and you accidentally brick your device, just reply and I'll help you fix it. (If helped, click the Thanks! button)
[LG Optimus L90] Firebird3334:
Hi, thank you so much, I finally rooted my device but I am having problems with the script part of the terminal emulator.

I wrote upto msm_sd and then this happen automatically:

View attachment 3865361

View attachment 3865362

View attachment 3865363

I don't know what to do here..

EDIT: Also am I meant to have the SuperSU/SuperUser app installed once rooted? Then get a popup in the terminal emulator for permission for its root access?
[LG Optimus L90] Hyoretsu:
You have to change "(aboot.bin storage directory) with the directory in which aboot.bin is stored. And no, you don't need SuperSU, when you use the su command, a KingRoot window will open, just say yes.
[LG Optimus L90] Firebird3334:
EDIT: Wahay! It works! Thank you soo much for your help!

EDIT 2: I can't seem to find the option to edit my recent button in settings. What can I do?
[LG Optimus L90] Hyoretsu:
If it's the menu button, I don't know of any way to change them, as Android updates change them. For example, my phone in KitKat used the home button for recent apps, in Lollipop it used the menu button for recent apps, and when I installed CM13, it used the home button again.

EDIT: Browsing LG L90 xda, I found this: http://xdaforums.com/lg-l90/themes-apps/mod-button-remaps-l90-t3145146

You have helped me out so much already! Thank you so much!

But just one more thing though, could you explain how to install magisk and xposed in layman's term so I can use Android Pay?
[LG Optimus L90] Hyoretsu:
I don't know what magisk is nor layman's term, but to install Xposed just go to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3034811, download both Xposed installer apk and xposed zip. Install xposed apk and flash xposed zip

Hello,

Help me please I'm getting Error 7 and after twrp reflash Error executing updater binary in zip

I did all the previus steps phone LG L90 d405n is rooted and bootloader is unlocked and rom downgraded to KK v10b

Now I want to flash CM or RR rom but I simply can't!

First I was getting error 7 when flashing I found out that I need TWRP 2.8.7 build 2 to flash so I found it and flashed. Now I'm getting ''error executing updater binary in zip twrp'' and I can't flash any rom.?*

I tried deleting first assert lines in updater-script from this?*thread?*but It didn't helped in any way...

Any ideas? Why the hell it is so ****ing complicated to flash custom on this ****ty device? Can't it work like Nexus4 or any other normal device??*

Thanks in advance for any tips&trics

PS. I can't open new thread dunno why... :confused:
[LG Optimus L90] Hyoretsu:
First of all, you don't need to use that TWRP build, you can use the latest one. To fix the only errors that should appear (Updater error 7 and 6), delete the first lines of updater-script until you reach the ui_print part (the first line of your file should be "ui_print("Target: 1471683591");"). Also, delete any double spaces that exist (there should be two, one before "abort" at line 27 and the other before "abort" at line 30). If it still gives the same error, try wiping Cache, data, system and dalvik-cache partitions, try to install the ROM, it'll give the error. Now, reboot your phone and try to install without wiping anything. (To properly see the line indications, open the file using Notepad++)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] DuffmasterFresh:
I'm on AT&T here in the United States and I have purchased the Unlocked Galaxy Note 7 Dual Sim International Version (HERE)

The seller stated that it has a 1-Year Samsung Warranty, as all Samsung devices should have. But, being how expensive this phone is and how the gorilla glass 5 is apparently a scratch magnet, I was considering purchasing not only a case, but a protection plan. Who has experience with 3rd party insurance and protection plans? Any recommendations or experience?

I only know of the following:

SamsungProtectionPlus (only if I purchase from a Samsung authorized retailer)

SquareTrade

Mobile Rhino
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] RADRaze2KX:
Though I've never personally used them, I've never heard bad things about Square Trade. I have several customers that have needed to use Square Trade and have always given positive feedback on them
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] -BoneZ-:
Check this one:

https://upsie.com/smartphone-warranty/
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Itchiee:
I would go Square Trade too. I've never used them for claims but never felt like I would have an issue if I needed them. I did add this phone to my carrier insurance which is more expensive deductible wise but also covers loss and theft. Perhaps ATT has something similar?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Corbitt74:
I had Square trade for the note 4. When it was water damaged they told my they could only send it of to be fixed as they did not have any replacements. If it couldn't be fixed they would pay their determined amount. Not too bad overall but you could end up waiting a week or longer. Customer service is little hard to understand at times.

It took about 2 weeks to resolve my daughters claim.

That plan was 6.00 per mo with a 75.00 deductible

Also they DO NOT cover theft or loss
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] DuffmasterFresh:
I just emailed their customer service and they told me that they do NOT cover international phones. I really loved their prices and philosophy on warranty service.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] boufa:
Try www.worthavegroup.com They are an independent insurance company, not one of the big guys, but I know they cover smart phones. They are big in the institutional world. They are the only ones we are allowed to use to cover our kids school assigned technology. (My kid has an iPad given to her by the school and if she breaks it we owe the school $600) It has a $0 deductible on the ipad, but the smartphones have a $50 deductible. Not too bad.

Several of the kids have shattered screens, and there have been no complaints that I have heard.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] naruto.ninjakid:
That was my dilemma. No insurer's want to cover international phone especially if they don't have manufacturers warranty. Even upsie said the same thing. Samsung won't honor your international warranty if your not in the country of origin of the phone. Order from B & H photo as they allow you to buy square trade at time of purchase
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] KB112:
I had Liberty Mutual for my renter's and now Homeowner policy. They have a Computer Endorsement add on for $19 a year with a $50 deductible I believe. I've had to use it twice and my yearly rates didn't increase.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] DuffmasterFresh:
I was going to order from B&H but they don't have the DUOS dual sim version of the phone, so I had to order from the ebay link in my original post. The seller stated on the ebay posting that their phones do come with a 1-year Samsung Warranty, but they did not specify how to actually use that warranty.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] naruto.ninjakid:
Lol I was watching that listing. I think the seller is lying. I emailed them about the warranty specifics and how would Samsung honor it and they said they would get back to me with clarification. No reply for days. I emailed them again and they said there looking into it. I wouldn't be surprised if they try to warranty the device themselves. I just need the peace of mind so I'm going with B&H since they may be. More inclined to help me later since there an actual organization. Maybe they will get Duos model later not sure.

For anyone planning on using Squaretrade, this is the reply I received from them:

"Thank you for choosing SquareTrade.

We offer warranties on phones that are either carrier insured or comes along with a one year manufacturer warranty. With regrets, I would like to inform you that we would not be able to cover a phone that does not consist of a US manufacturer warranty."

Go through B & H and you can get squaretrade
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] DuffmasterFresh:
They have so many positive reviews that I risked it and trusted them. They said I would get it by Friday and it turns out I won't have it until Monday. It's shipping from Singapore, so maybe they want us to ship the phone back to Singapore and then they would warranty it? I'm interested in that. It seems to me like the international version of the phone cannot be warrantied at all.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] DuffmasterFresh:
Well damn... so it looks like we may not be able to get the International version of the phone warrantied. :/
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jojorios:
When I asked about this I had specifically asked them about buying it through b&h since they were offering square trade with the purchase.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] naruto.ninjakid:
Guys I was worried just like you. When you click add to cart on B & H it gives you the option for 1 or 2 years of squaretrade.

Here is the reply I got from squaretrade.

" Thank you for considering SquaeTrade.*

SquareTrade does cover cell phones purchased brand new as long as the warranty is purchased within 30 days of the phone's purchase date. You can also switch to SquareTrade if the phone is insured through the carrier's insurance at the time you purchase our plan. Having said that, B&H is one of our resellers. If you are planning on purchasing the phone through them, it is highly recommended you buy the SquareTrade plan through them as well.*

You can simply request one of the representatives there to assist you with locating the best plan for the phone and they will be able to do so.*

If you have any more questions, please feel free to reply to this email. Otherwise you can also visitsquaretrade.com/help.

Thank you,

Ally

SquareTrade Care Specialist "

So we should be safe I hope.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jojorios:
They are kind of contradicting themselves. Because Samsung won't warranty a phone bought out of country. I wonder if they are assuming that B&H as a reseller always has phones that have manufacturer warranty.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] naruto.ninjakid:
B&H is offering 1 year limited warranty. I'm assuming they take the phone and ship it to reseller for fix or they contract it to Samsung. I'm not really sure.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] daneoleary:
I bought the Duos version here. The day I placed my order the seller was having a sale, I believe I got mind for like $769 or something and it shipped from within the U.S. Said it would take five days to get to me and I received it in three days, the day before yesterday.

As for insurance, you're going to have trouble getting a U.S. insurance company to insure an international device. For some reason, international warranties are only covered in the country of origin and that gives insurance companies the heebie jeebies I guess.

I second whoever it was that recommended you go to worthavegroup.com. I've actually heard of them and they're supposedly great to work with. Plus, the fact that schools and government agencies use them is promising. But I can't say I have firsthand experience.

Good luck.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itechy:
Hello I'm posting on behalf of my sister who is having issues with the SD being set as internal memory in Android Marshmallow. The device is a factory unlocked device and currently has a Class 10 16Gb Sanddisk micro-SD card.

We have also tried a slower Class 4 card (same capacity) and am still having issues. I think the phone has been dropped a few times but these issues are annoying my sister so I was wondering if we should do an RMA or is this behaviour common?
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gravemind2015:
But what was the exact problem you/she faced?

Broadcasted from Zeta Reticuli
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
What is the problem exactly?

And BTW, a Class 10 card is not fast enough for internal memory, a Class 4 will downright either frustrate you or flat out cause errors... If you're going to use it as internal (adopted) storage, you need a quality, brand name card with a minimum UHS1 rating, but a UHS3 card is preferred.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itechy:
The device is saying that the SD card cannot be found randomly and due to this deletes apps / stuff stored on internal storage.

And a UHS 1 is equal to a class 10 card
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
No, just a class 10 card is not equal to a modern UHS1 card, not even close... The minimum speeds are similar, but in real life the read, and more importantly write, speeds are 4-8 times that of just a class 10 rating, especially for extended periods of read or write. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3221163 Trust me, in real world especially when used for internal memory the difference is quite noticeable.

But back to the problem... Assuming you have tried clearing the cache partition in recovery, and possibly a factory reset, Most of the time this issue of random disconnection goes back to one of two things, a poor quality microSD card or poor connection of the phones card reader. The first one is easy to test, pickup a Samsung EVO+, SanDisk Extreme, Lexar 633x, or similar high quality card and test, if it still fails then there isn't anything you can do about except contact Moto customer service for repair.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawndak:
Did you ever find a fix?? I had the same issue with two phones. It would say the card ejected and id have to restart to correct it. I have used 4 different cards including a UHS-1 class 10. It has to be a software issue. Wonder if this feature worked in 6.0 and stopped in 6.0.1?? Maybe fix in Nougat? What a pain!
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
If this is the case that you have tried several cards, it's probably a handset hardware issue, not a software issue... Nougat likely won't fix it.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawndak:
Well I'm still under warranty wonder if they'd replace it with a 16gb model. Only reason I got the 8gb was due to the adaptable storage option. What a pain!
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Your issues are not normal... Better to get if fixed even if you only get an 8GB model back, if it works reliably.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawndak:
The problem is with two phones bought at different times, doubt it'd be an issue with both. Are you using adaptable storage no problem on moto g3?
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
I was... My son is using it now with no issues.

Out of curiosity... What brand/model cards have you used? It has kind been a trend that lower quality cards have issues. We have moved to SanDisk Ultra or Samsung EVO+ almost exclusively
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawndak:
Using adaptable storage??? With apps transfered? I've used both of those cards haha but you're saying it works flawlessly? What exact card and your fully updated as well? Thanks
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Yes... No issues on stock or Resurrection Remix rom with adopted storage. I used a 64GB Samsung EVO (none + version)
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawndak:
Hmm I've been using 32gb ones. The phone works perfectly with portable storage so it blows my mind the issues that is has with ejecting or saying the card isn't there. If it was physical you'd see it with portable storage as well I believe. Do any of the custom Roms give more user space? Once again thank you!

today i finally unlocked bootloader so i decided to update to marshmallow

so first thing ive notice is that my data was erased which didnt happened when i last time updated :confused:

then i saw that there isnt sdcard (and it isnt because of adoptable storage since huawei disable it in their roms) i dont get any errors like "corrupted sdcard, click to format"
