Please don't flame me, I just want a taste of what you have...

Hi guys

First of all, many thanks to all who contribute to this forum etc - it has been a pleasure to read so much (ok, not really - its so complex but if I want something I have to do it, no complaining) :)

I have an 02 XDA Mini S which was running as a G3. I foolishly did something to it without properly reading the instructions about CID unlocking etc and effectively bricked my phone. Luckily, I still had the warranty (yes, its 2 years in the UK, would you believe it!). SO after getting it returned to me I find a note telling me that my IMEI number is now different but the rest of the xda mini s will be the same. I turn it on, and ooh la la, its now a G4 (based on my understanding of reading the newbies guide to flashing rom on the xda wiki - my IPL/SPL ends with 0001.

Fine. So I have followed the instructions on the Wiki. I have searched around. I haven't posted apparently "nonsense" questions like what is the best ROM. So please, be nice if you reply to my question - please.

My question is (finally getting there): I have run the Hard Spl and confirm from the load screen that my device is now superCID (CID Unlocked). I have seen this ROM posted here and want to give it a go. My device is a G4 (confirmed). Is this ROM G4 safe? Do I just unpack it? Do I have to remove anything from this ROM before loading it onto my G4?

Many thanks for your kind help.

ERROR 300

Many thanks for your quick reply. I tried to do this:

I turned on the wizard and plug it in. Since I have never used active sync before it just has me as a "guest" and connected.

Next I used rarzilla to unpack the file into a a folder. Opening the folder I found a file called RomUpdateUtility. I double clicked it, checked all the boxes, next next next...and then for some reason when i click next my active sync connection drops instantly, the rom utility starts doing its thing (but still 0%) and then suddenly active sync comes back on again, wait...still 0%, after about 30 seconds it shows:

ERROR [300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL

This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please get a newer Update Utility. Click Exit to Quit.

Clicking Exit...Phone seems to show three colours on screen, red, green, blue. Unplug it from cable. Can't seem to do anything. So I just turned it off (soft reset is the only thing which works). (Just to confirm my phone is SPL 2.21.Olip - I did the HARD SPL before I did all this)

So whats the next step? My pda starts up again normally...but I get this error message?

Thanks again for your response.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] SingaporeSling:
Ok, Works Now - A Newbie answer for other newbies.

Ok...I tried two things. First I tried to substitute for a different RUU (ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NOID which I found on a different thread. Didn't work (as I guessed, cos file versions are both 2.0.1.0 )

So what worked in the end? Mun's RUU. Yep. Basically I just subsituted the .nbf and ran Mun's set, took a few seconds but then started loading pretty quickly, froze at 100% for about 1 and half minutes and then rebooted automatically (the PDA I mean). Many thanks all.

So basically, if you have the Error 300 problem, do this:

1. Download the rar file from Mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/?1bd0mwlwcjv

2. Extract the file called nk.nbf to a folder on your desktop (Example name: Bunny).

3. Download this zip file: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=52404&d=1190997171 (you probably need to register at this forum and sign in)

4. Extract all these files to Bunny.

5. Make sure your device is connected and active sync is working. Run RomUpdateUtility. Ignore what it says that it is updating Faria rom etc.

6. Be patient. Don't run any programs on your computer. Eventually your phone will reboot and computer will say finished.

7. (Untested) If you have similar problems like the others have pointed out, like Bluetooth not working etc, simply perform a hard reset. Press Send.

8. Trust me its worth it.

Am I Blind? How to I start this touch flo thing or this cube effect?

The title sums it all I guess.

I've flashed. Everything seems to be working.

Two questions:

Dr for Islam mentioned in his first post that this thing has TouchFlo, Cube , etc. I've searched all around all I can find is an ap called TFSetting, which has a drop down list:Top to bottom , Center to Bottom, Center bottom only, TF default 4.1. There are also Three check boxes. I've fiddled around with it, I have no idea to start it.

Qs 2: Is it possible to view youtube vids? I've searched and come up with various responses - nothing solid. Also, I'd like to direct specifically at someone who has used this ROM - seeing as how I have previously bricked this device and saved it barely by the skin of my teeth (i don't want to mess up again.) If you feel its a dumb question - could you please point me in the right direction? Thanks.

SS
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] DrForIslam:
Just choose the way to launch cube from the list:Top to bottom , Center to Bottom, Center bottom only, TF default 4.1

choose one then restart

The TouchFlo already enabled

I would also like to know how to activate the cube. I fiddled with it for over 2 hours and couldnt get it to work.

anyone?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] tekknogenius:
Start/Settings/System/TF Setting

then select your view mode. That should do it. I have mine set to 'Top to bottom'. Then to bring up the cube I swipe my finger from the top of the screen (from the edge icon) to the bottom of the screen (the keyboard icon). There ya go.

MMS only work some of the times...

This is one of the best roms I have ran across in along time. No missed calls or SMS. The only problem I have is with the MMS service. It will send and receive MMS, but only works about 30% of the time. Please Please one of you big brain people out there help out with this. I believe my setting are fine. I with AT&T or Cingular. Iam guessing my setting are fine because it does work for time to time. Its just not at 100% and I would hate to miss some of the MMSs I get. :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] amused:
i want to say something about the cube.

when i flashed to this rom the cube didnt work (although i set TFseting) then i did hard reset ,set TFseting and then it worked. it make me angry when i want to restore my device after hard reset becouse before restore it works but after it does not i have to hard reset time to time that it works.i think you have a hard job to make it work . the cube is realy nice in this rom belive me :D

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] :
I can read from your post that you are happy with this rom - that's great. While I have not been an active member here for very long - I do think that the chefs who distribute their work to us for free - deserve a little more respect.

Whereas I usually try to keep to myself - i find words such as "sucks" and "ugly" and just the overall tone of your post insulting.

Sorry guy - but the people on this board just deserve better.

My .02 cents - nothing more.

Enjoy the rom

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] motionmonk:
Hi All,

My wife is headed to Italy at the end of the month, and I purchased an unlocked Verizon VS995 V20 off ebay for her.

She is running a stock ROM Galaxy Note 2 (she likes things the way they are on KitKat , but that's another story :eek:).

I've rooted Samsung, HTC and Moto phones in the past, but this is my first LG. From what I can tell, the V20 is a solid phone!

I tried looking online but am not finding clear answers yet, so here's my basic questions:

1. since the phone is supposedly unlocked, is there a specific ADB command I can use to verify it? Or should I go through a root process to be sure?

2. we are on T-Mobile, so I'd like to go to a stock AOSP Android 7 ROM with no carrier bloat. If the phone is unlocked, or if I do root, would there be any issues since this is a Verizon-branded phone?

3. not trying to start any bickering, but any recommendations for a stock vanilla Nougat ROM?

My phone info:

Build # NRD90M

Config ver B26.LGE.VS995.0

Software ver VS99513A

I appreciate any replies and thoughts, and I'm looking forward to seeing what this phone can do!

regards,

motionmonk
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
First, this post belongs in the Q&A section, hopefully a mod will move it.

Second, what security patch version are you on. It is listed in software info. If it is anything later than Dec 2016, then you can't root (yet).
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] motionmonk:
My apologies to the Mods; I wasn't sure which section this should go in.

The Security Patch Level is dated Dec 1, 2016. Would that still work?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] storm68:
Wrong thread
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
Yes, you can root. Before you do, find the patched LG UP thread and do a dump of your entire phone. If you ever want to go back to stock, you will have the files. Also, it is good to have a full backup of your phone as it currently is.

I don't have a VS995, but I am willing to offer all the help I can.

-- Brian
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] motionmonk:
Thank you very much for the offer of help. It's sincerely appreciated.

I have some more research to do today, and then I'll reach out with more specifics.

And to all, sorry for posting in the wrong area... it looks like the Mods moved this to the Q&A area overnite.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] motionmonk:
Ok, I think I have everything now.

I am using the Dirty Santa setup, and have installed the Terminal Emulator to the V20, loaded the twrp image to my SD card, and have the Required Files from the c20-root.zip loaded on the desktop.

Inside Win7 I installed the minimal package for ADB and Fastboot, and then connected the V20 as a device. Double-clicking on RUNMEFIRST.bat briefly shows a window, but it auto closes itself. I tried running the adb shell and doing "adb devices", but nothing is showing up. Doing adb logcat says it's waiting for devices too.

I feel I've already missed a step...
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
You enabled USB debugging?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] motionmonk:
Interesting... no, it's greyed out. I did the 7x tap to get Developer Options before I started, and thought I had checked it.

I have the phone set for File Transfer when connected to the Computer... but I don't think that would effect this setting.

Any ideas?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Thisisabadname:
The USB mode setting has no effect on adb. Also how is it greyed out? Can't say I've ever heard of something like that before.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] motionmonk:
I certainly can't claim to know much about this process, but I've never seen it before either on any other phone I've rooted.

I'll try and upload a shot of the Developer Option screen to this msg. I haven't done that yet here.

Weird, huh?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Thisisabadname:
Did you try unplugging it before trying to turn it on? It might be blocked cause it's currently connected
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] motionmonk:
I think I understand what you are asking...

-disconnect phone from computer

-restart phone

-reboot Windows

-phone is up; check Dev Options-- no joy.

-connect phone to Windows, VS995 is recognized. Type adb devices... nothing listed.

I copy/pasted the applypatch instructions, and it reports:

I started Step2, and as a Verizon phone, the vibrator is going off, which is recognized in the instructions.

How long does Step2 take? I've been going for almost an hour.

On Terminal Emulator, it reports:

Does your PHONE say fastboot? It should not take more than a few minutes.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] motionmonk:
I thought I sent a reply but I guess it didn't go through.

-Yes, the Phone screen does say FASTBOOT MODE in Red, then multiple spec lines of Product Name, HW Version, Serial number, then at the end it says [1140] Fastboot mode started.

Back from lunch. Should I pull the battery and restart from Step1? Or can I continue from Step2?

GOT ROOT!

I finally have root! Flashed TWRP, cleaned Dalvik and Cache, and am all set to swap out this Verizon ROM for something else.

My wife leaves for Italy Friday morning; my intent is to have her be able to use the phone on T-Mobile here in the US, and I have a European SIM card that she'll use in Italy.

Is there a certain ROM that anyone recommends? Or will any H918 ROM work? I tend to prefer plain vanilla Android so I can choose the level of add-ons.

And to runningnak3d, I'll DM you tomorrow to say thank you. You were incredibly patient as I screwed up every step...
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
I only have an H910 and H918, and I know nothing about using a VS995 with a T-Mobile sim. I do know this, if you are going to start flash ROMs for other models, you had better extract them and make sure that only boot and system are flashed. If you flash the boot loader from an H918 -- you WILL brick your phone. The H918 is one of the few variants of the V20 that has a different RSA key in the CPU. Since you had so much trouble with root, I don't want to see you brick your phone :)

Other models are iffy as to whether you will brick your phone. I know the VS995 CPU shares the same key as the H910 and H915, but there is no reason to take the risk. Flashing boot or system will never brick your phone as long as you still have recovery (TWRP).
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] motionmonk:
Yes sir, I do NOT want to brick the phone now or ever! :fingers-crossed: Heck, I'm tempted to put it in a glass case that says Do Not Touch at this point...

Knowing this now about the VS995, I'll definitely look only at the Verizon ROMs; I don't think I'd be comfortable extracting boot & system on each ROM update. You have been a HUGE help in all this Brian. I sincerely appreciate all your time and support.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] GingyEastwood:
Let me start this off by saying that I've never rooted/jail broken before, but honestly I don't know what else I'm supposed to do right now.

Since about last Saturday, my S7 has been crashing. It's extremely hard to replicate, as it can/will happen during anything. Opening an app, crash. Using an app, crash. Get a notification, crash. Reboot after crashing, crash.

I took it Rogers and because of a small crack I have on the screen they refused to help me out. I took it a mobile repair shop and they said they could help me out for $300. They also said something about it possibly being an issue with the motherboard from being dropped, which was two weeks ago, (It didn't freeze or lag at all until last week) which would warrant the hefty price tag.

Problem is, I'm not exactly in a place where I can just throw down $300 to fix my phone. I was just wondering if maybe anyone here had any idea what the issue might be, and if it's worth trying to root it or just scrounging the money together to pay it off.

I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to post this, but I'm at my wit's end here.

Thanks in advance.
