[LG V20 Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
really? the vzw note 4 took years to my knowledge with only temp root and wasnt until then that they found a way to change into a dev edition did they get full root/recovery.. it was not immediate..

the Note 7 had a debug rom leaked from sprint in .tar format that we were able to flash in odin.. we have a debug device but no way to create a .tot or .kdz from the phone to create a flashable rom,we could use in lg up or lg flash tool

Oh. I had a dev edition to start eith that i bought direct from samsung. I guess I never realized the regular notes had such an issue....
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jayochs:
haha that's why. I should have waited for the dev edition back then but I was too excited for it. the actual Verizon version came out October 14 and didn't get root until I think spring of 16

[Google Chromecast] stephymv:
Hi.

OK, so far, I've tested:

LocalCast;

Bubbleupnp;

Web Cast Viewer;

AllConnect;

Tubio

None of them display subtitles (even though they say they do), not even local .srt files (much less web-based ones). The target device is a SamsungTV 48".

Samsung SmartView works, but it lacks features I am looking for.

I'm tired of hunting for casting apps by myself and of all the testing to try figuring them out. What I need/want is:

- an app that casts in DLNA, 'cause I don't have chromecast;

- an app that actually displays subs, local ones and open subtitles.org;

- an app that can stream local files and streamable links from other apps (terrarium, popcorn time, mobdro, etc...);

- an app that can cast these streamable links WITH SUBS.

Please, any suggestions?

Plex supports Samsung Tizen models but they are the newest ones I think.

[Google Chromecast] stephymv:
Thanks.

I got Chromecast yesterday, and now all problems are gone, since LocalCast actually is displaying subs (which it wasn't, with DLNA only).

[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] Joneildu:
So, after rooting my device, I used rom toolbox to delete some of the bloat ware. Well, in doing so, I lost the ability to customize my lock screen wallpaper by deleting the gallery app. This annoyed me, so I decided to just start over. I flashed the x526 stock firmware. I thought it was essentially the exact same rom. Well, it apparently killed my imei, baseband is unknown, don't know status of NVRAM. From what I understand, flashing back to x522 stock rom should rectify issue. I've exhausted all other avenues. I tried to force the IMEI using mobileuncle, tried mtktools, tried dialing the #*#* command (phone did nothing). I don't know what else to do.
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] ExTREmE99:
X522 is a snapdragon 652 device. you wont be able to use mobile uncle or mtk tools as they are for mediatek CPUs. you are screwed for the time being until someone is able to extract a backup of the stock image. i have a completely unmodified LeEco S3 sitting right here, where i may be able to do a TWRP backup, but honestly i don't know how
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] Joneildu:
TWRP > backup > select all the partitions > swipe. Should put a backup file on your device. Upload to like google drive or something. Would that not work?
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] ExTREmE99:
interestingly, the S3 has an unlocked bootloader similar to the US LePro3 in that the bootloader will unlock temporarily until the next reboot. i was able to unlock the bootloader, boot into twrp, wipe my data, then backup system/boot. its a 1.9GB file that's uploading at the moment. it'll take a while due to my slow connection
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] Joneildu:
You are a hero my friend. Bought the phone for my daughter to keep in touch with me using hangouts/google voice number for wifi calls and texts while she is at her mother's. (She's 9). Didn't really care to brick it. Hopefully it works. :good:
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] ExTREmE99:
no worries. i was going to get around to this sooner or later. the following backup is from TWRP with a completely stock, unrooted system/boot backup. unfortunately, i didn't realize until after i was uploading that i forgot to run the OTA first, so the backup is from 18S. unfortunately, TWRP wouldn't allow me to backup the recovery, the only options were - system/boot/cache/data/firmware??

here's the mega link. a mirror would be nice - LeEco_X522_TWRP_BootSystem_18S

https://mega.nz/#!voQTWJrA!lZaTKQyoBKuiYfYizpWkh-fOBTlldUUCDtiiVYHzwes

also, imo, you should learn fastboot and NOT use that toolkit that's floating around.

---------- Post added at 10:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

for some reason the 19S OTA fails now, no idea what i did wrong considering i did a "fastboot boot twrp.img" and did no flashing of anything. gah
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] Joneildu:
I have some experience flashing the contents using fastboot, as my last two phones were a nexus 5 and 5X. I do appreciate your time and effort! The OTA failing is really weird. I cannot recall if I installed TWRP before or after I did the OTA update initially.
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] Saurabh K:
Flash the whole ROM from TWRP and select do not disable stock recovery replace (do note swipe). The OTA zip will be around 1.5-2GB
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] Joneildu:
I've gotten the option to not disable stock recovery when flashing via zip. I did not get that option when loading the recovery from the recovery menu. Nonetheless, I ran the recovery through twrp, IMEI still empty, baseband still unknown :(. I've got no clue now.
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] ExTREmE99:
did you do a restore? you would have to copy the contents of the zip file i posted to your \sdcard\TWRP\BACKUPS\[deviceid]\

the device ID folder you can get by doing a simple backup of something, then put the system/boot backup that i uploaded also in that folder. in any case, i think we're screwed anyway unless someone does a full system image backup with TWRP mounted as "read only"
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] Joneildu:
Yep. That's exactly what I did. Did a generic TWRP backup of what I have. Then added the folder you uploaded to the device folder in the twrp backups folder. Everything loaded into the phone fine, just the IMEI and baseband are still toast.
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] ExTREmE99:
you're probably SOL until a full US ROM is posted. i can try to do a full TWRP "system image" for ya, but there's no guarantees. the backup i posted earlier was just the system and boot partitions. not sure what else the full system image contains though
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] Hitokiri-Snake:
I'm in a similar situation. I'm just trying to get back to 100% stock so that I can take the OTA. I was hoping this backup would do that for me. I can't seem to get it to prompt me to disable stock recovery replacement. I want it to put stock recovery back so that I can attempt the OTA. I'm restoring it from twrp, not flashing it. Attempting to flash it is throwing an error at me.
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] ExTREmE99:
when you restored from my twrp backup, did you get the stock recovery back? double check by turning off the phone, then holding both power button and volume up until the screen turns back on. i'm going to try to dump the recovery partition tonight within twrp, but i'm seriously a noob at this. you won't be able to install the OTA until we also get someone with a 100% stock USA S3 to do a full system image backup while mounting twrp as read-only. i should be able to get another S3 to do this within the next week or two. unfortunately you'll have to wait until then
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] Joneildu:
Is there an EFS partition that was able to be backed up? That's the partition that contains the radio information with modem_st1 and modem_st2
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] ExTREmE99:
unfortunately no, the only selectable partitions to backup using the X520 TWRP were: boot/data/cache/system/firmware. the partitions could be different from the X520, so hopefully i have some time tonight to dump the partitions. i found this guide, and it seems to work on my oneplus3 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2450045
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] britdude:
I have a full TWRP backup of the x522, its actually 7.6 GB

, when i was copying it over to the phone or a small usb drive, it went to 3.? gb, it seems one file is 4gb......

anyways, even at 3.?gb it restored, and booted up, but i was never able to take the OTA to 19s

i put the full 7.6gb TWRP on a 128 mb sdcard and restored, but when i pressed reboot, that was last thing it did...lol

I did a return as a faulty unit,and have a new one coming saturday....

my point is, if any use i could upload it somewhere, i also captured the 19s update file if that helps anyone..

will upload if someone wants
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] Hitokiri-Snake:
When I restore you're twrp backup, it's not giving me stock recovery back for some reason, and it's not asking about the stock recovery override thing either. I made a backup of my own before I rooted originally, (system and boot, but not system image) when I restore that it restores stock recovery. It's strange, using my backup, I can get the device unrooted and with stock recovery, but the OTA still fails
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] ExTREmE99:
the only way a full backup will keep the OTA going is if you booted TWRP in read only mode and did a full backup that way. i think a lot of us messed up and swiped away the lock screen that TWRP shows after you change the language from chinese to english.

yea, i was looking through the OTA script and it basically does a checksum of the /system partition and if it doesnt match the one in the script, it fails right there. you can see it working by flashing the OTA's update.zip in TWRP. i dug a little further and opened up the OTA zip file and looked into the script and that's when i started googling and found out about the TWRP read-only vs read/write screen
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] britdude:
I dont usually use TWRP in read only mode, but like ya say, with TWRP being in chinese till ya figure out the language part anything is possible

so to do the full back up you have to be in read only mode and that will allow restore and ota to take?
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] ExTREmE99:
yes. that's the key. you need to unlock bootloader, do a "fastboot boot c:\twrp.img" (or wherever you're storing twrp on your computer), wipe data partition, choose to keep TWRP in read only mode, then do a full backup (boot + system image). from then on, you should be able to use twrp in read-write mode, root, whatever you damn well please. there's an extensive thread on the alcatel idol here that describes it exactly: http://xdaforums.com/idol-3/general/want-to-able-to-install-ota-updates-t3163745

because of the above thread, i ran a logcat, pulled the OTA URL, downloaded it, dug into the OTA update script and saw the exact same checks
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] britdude:
Then that explains what was going wrong with mine.....Thanks for that info
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] ExTREmE99:
since you have one coming on saturday, do you mind doing the above?
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] britdude:
Yeah i will do that....i like to have a safe backup

but this read only is new to me , all my other phones are fine the other way
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] ExTREmE99:
ditto. i've had dozens of phones rooted and never ran into this before. if you want you can look into the OTA and see for yourself in: /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script

GOOD NEWS. i fixed my S3. i modified the update script, repacked the 19S OTA zip, backed up a full read-only system image/boot from my other S3 (i have 2), restored it onto the broken S3 and it's now working and on 19S!

in order to upgrade to 19S and accept future OTA updates do the below:

1. connect your device to adb run, adb reboot bootloader

2. if your bootloader isn't unlocked, fastboot oem unlock-go

3. if you have twrp installed already, skip this step - copy the twrp file here to your C drive and run, fastboot boot c:\twrp.img

4. change twrp language to english and boot twrp in read-only mode (i think this is required, i kind of forgot because i wiped this phone so many times over the last 24 hours)

5. flash the modified OTA zip here. your phone will likely not boot after this, mine didnt, but if it does, skip the below

6. restore the following TWRP system/boot image here

7. reboot your phone and if TWRP asks you if you want to keep it say no

your phone will now have a locked bootloader, and completely stock 19S, with OTA ability. if you're already on 19S and want to get back OTA capability, you can skip step 5

backed up boot and system image

rebooted phone and let it setup again

went to update,and downloaded it..

Hi

I did a twrp backup of boot+sys image and another of boot+sys+firmware..(not sys image)

The twrp you posted is a boot+sys image correct?

So I can use that one or my own boot+sys image after your modified OTA?

Is that twrp 18s or 19s..

Do you have any ideas why OTAs are blocked as I have tried making a backup using read/write on last phone and this one I only used read only bit got same results?

Im also guessing we will be outta luck taking OTAs normally from now on

Thanks for the help also
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] ExTREmE99:
my TWRP backup is for 19S. after you flash the modified OTA for 19S, your phone will not boot because the system partition doesn't match. by restoring the TWRP 19S backup, your phone will boot again with 19S installed and read-only. when restoring the TWRP image, try booting in read/write mode. after the TWRP backup is complete, it should be flagged as never mounted, so an OTA will be possible in the future.

I've rooted the phone and installed TWRP using the AIO toolkit that was posted here:

Using TWRP, I boot into the bootloader and unlock it, making sure it's good to go with fastboot oem device-info after. Once I verify the bootloader is unlocked, I boot into the TWRP.img that was linked in Extreme's post; however I'm not prompted to have TWRP run in read-only mode or anything like that, I guess because I already have TWRP?

i'll upload the recovery that i pulled from the S3 later this evening. unfortunately, the weird thing is that when i flashed it for ****s and giggles, it was in chinese. however, it was from the 19S X522 (Le S3) so i have no idea why it was extracted, but in chinese. what you'll have to do is the following:

1. unroot

2. wipe data/system

3. flash the S3 recovery that i will provide

4. fastboot oem lock-go (or just "lock", not sure actually)

5. then follow the above directions of doing a temporary bootloader unlock, installing OTA, flashing backed up TWRP

guys i have a quick question. just received my S3 x522 version US. i'm on 18s. i'm thinking of using the toolkit mentioned above, but i do have the option to update to 19s.

should i update my phone to 19s first and then use the toolkit to root or will that not work?

my phone is completely stock out of the box literally.
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] britdude:
I would suggest taking the OTA, and not using the toolkit....

If you want to use TWRP later ,it's best to use it from desktop, don't flash it to phone.

Just my opinion after being one of the few on here who had a little trouble taking OTAs which ExTREmE99 sorted out for everyone..
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] konoplya:
so if i don't use the toolkit, how can i remove all the bloatware afterwards?

also, this phone is for my mom, so she won't be updating it after the 19s.
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] britdude:
The toolkit just shows you how to unlock bootloader and flash twrp and all that...

If you unlock with fastboot and use twrp and root it's just the same as using the toolkit..

I haven't looked at toolkit in a few days,but I'm sure it don't actually do anymore than what I just stated...

And what bloatware you wanting gone? There isn't much on it..

if you're trying to get the EUI changed to AOSP with the xposed EUI modder, don't bother. it will not work. also, do not use toolkits. they are honestly put together by people who do not or have not ever seen your specific device model. either root it yourself and delete the LeEco apps manually, or don't do it at all. i've suggested a TON of feedback to LeEco which they have actually listened to and promise they will have it fixed in a future update. they have really impressed me with their response rate using the "Feedback" app
