Help! Installing custom rom, kernel and rooting topic

Hi

I was wondering if some one would help me and answer some questions about rooting, installing custom roms and kernels on my LG G3 - D855. I am a complete novice when it comes to installing any 3rd party software on phones.
I wish to install a custom rom (Cyanengine mod 12 Android L 5.0.2) onto my phone and possibly a custom kernel to improve the battery life. I believe I have to root to do this as well?
One of my worries is that I could brick my phone. If I do this , is it fixable? What order should I go about installing the modifications? Root, rom , kernel? Root, kernel , rom? Also what is TWRP? Sorry for the amount of questions, but I would be really grateful if some one could explain the process, and any thing I should avoid.

Thanks Again

regards

Tom

[Q] [a5_ul] Installing OTA: can't unroot and flash RUU topic

So I've been trying to install an OTA and had no luck with it.
First I tried just installing stock recovery and applying the update, however it would just abort the process showing me the red triangle with exclamation mark.
Then I tried to unroot my phone which turned out to be not as easy as it sounds, because after using the Full unroot feature in SuperSU and rebooting, the SuperSU would just return back like nothing happened.
So now I'm trying to flash stock RUU, which, according to forums, is the only way to get rid of root. I relocked my device, but now when trying to flash the RUU I'm getting this:

Code:

---

(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

---

Help? :crying:

NOOB with a question about missing radio band after installing CM10.1.3 topic

Sorry if this has been answered but I searched quite a bit and didn't see anything that looked similar! I flashed my Atrix HD to CM 10.1..3 because the phone is old and was slowing down. This was my fist attempt at a process like this and I figured it out and the phone is working great except I don't get LTE speeds like I was getting before. After a lot of research I think I know why but I can't figure out the fix. I checked my wife's phone (stock S3) by dialing *#0011# and her radio band is band 17. I went into my settings using *#*#4636#*#* and there is no Band 17 available. The only bands it shows is AUS2, USA, Cellular, PCS, Band Class 6 and Band Class 15.
Is there a way to enable Band 17 in Cyanogenmod 10.1.3???

[HELP] Network problem after installing new LCD Display topic

I recently bought a new LCD (LCD+Digitizer+Frame+buttons) from aliexpress for my Xperia Z. I disassembled the phone & installed the new display myself. It works perfectly. There's only one problem - it cannot connect to any network at all. The only time I get a signal (1-2 bars) is when I get out in the open. This is the same while in my car also. Other than this, everything else works perfectly (wifi, cameras, mic, earpiece, speaker, etc.)

I tried using the same sim in another phone (Galaxy Star S5282). It gets full signal, wherever I go. I also tried using my brother's sim in the Xperia but same results. His sim also works perfectly in all other phones.

I had disassembled it yesterday again & couldn't find where the fault was. The sim tray is fixed to the mainboard & there are no wires/flex cables to be connected.

Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

Lost root after installing CyanogenMod topic

I'm the IT guy for a small company. I tested a possible new AV by installing it on my phone. It forced me to set a password. I hate that. So I tried a bunch of stuff to get rid of it without a full factory reset, and soft-bricked it; the "Verizon has detected evil software, by bad boy!" message. Not a big deal since I had it rooted and have a Titanium backup.

So I restored to 4.1.1 using ODIN and some files I found here. Then I rooted it with CASUAL R515. I figured while I was there I would try CyanogenMod Lollipop. I successfully installed that, but lost root privileges. TWRP offers to restore root privileges but does not do so. CASUAL usually lops forever installing driveres, but once popped up an "unsupported kernel" message.

I tried a bunch on nightly CyanogenMod builds but they all fail, mostly just freezing at the Samsung logo but sometimes getting o the initial startup screen and going into an infinite "X has stopped" "Y has stopped" "X has stopped" ... loop. Once I got into the actual setup but it was impossible to call up the keyboard, which kinda slows things down. So the CyanogenMod version I have is pretty much the only one that works.

So now I'm on CyanogenMod 12-20150105-UNOFFICIAL-i605, Android 5.0.2, Baseband I605VRALJB, kernel 3.0.64-CM-g2cf03d1-dirty sbrissen@brissen #3, build number cm_i605-userdebeug 5.0.3 LRX22G 72f2d4b365 test-keys, SELinux status permissive.

How should I regain root so I can restore my Titanium backup (and do a nandroid backup)?

Newbie guide for installing a Custom ROM in SGP312 Sony Xperia Tablet Z topic

The objective of this post is to explain how to currently install a custom ROM in our device. (for total newbies like me, you can also refer -among others- to my previous post). I give the general procedure which wipes everything in your device, but you can check various precious posts in xda that variate this procedure.

The codename for our device is "pollux_windy", which is the Wifi-only version. The LTE version (I should probably get the LTE!) is "pollux" and I suppose the general procedure (with the corresponding firmwares to your specific device) will work for any Xperia device. You can also get the general idea from this post.

As a general rule of thumb do not forget after/before every firmware flashing to:

• Enable developer mode (explained here)


• Enable the USB Debugging mode (explained here)


• Trust installation from unknown sources (explained here)

Steps.
A. Unlock the bootloader.
You can refer here and then check that it is successfully unlocked with these steps (taken from here ):

• Open the Contacts app.


• Click the menu button.


• Click Settings.


• Long press (for about 5 seconds) somewhere in the empty space just above status bar, as indicated by the red frame in the screenshot below, and then release your finger. A button named Enter service code will then appear in the same area (this may take a few tries).


• Click Enter service code. A dialler will appear.


• Dial *#*#7378423#*#* . Then go to -> "Service Info" -> "Configuration". If there is:
  Bootloader unlock allowed - Yes << this means that your Bootloader is Locked
  Bootloader Unlocked - Yes << this means that your bootloader is unlocked

B. Flash a firmware in which you will root the device

• Download/install FlashTool.


• Download and place to the FlashTool's folder "firmwares" the firmware "SGP312_10.5.A.0.230_VMo UK_IE.ftf". More information here . In sort, download and extract http://d-h.st/MrI and http://d-h.st/ULc


• Open FlashTool and connect the powered-off device (USB cable) in Flashmode, holding the Volume Down button while you plugin the usb cable. The FlashTool should say that it is connected in Flashmode. Then flash the 10.5.A.0.230 firmware in it.

C. Gain root to the new firmware

• Open the device, complete the setup wizard and connect to a wireless network. You do not have to setup the Google Account since you can download every application googling the respective APK files, but Google Play is easier to use.


• Get (click λ) the towelroot APK, install it and run it (click "make it rain"). You should have root, which you can check with a Root Cheker like this one.


• Download/Install SuperSU APK (this is actively developed, while SuperUser is abandoned at the moment)
  as described here.

D. Install a Recovery to easily flash new ROMs
NUT has done excellent work with XZDualRecovery.Follow the instructions for installing it in his thread. In short:

• Download the installer, run it and follow its instructions.


• Select SuperSU and of course grant access to your computer from your tablet (watch the tablet screen).

E. Download a Custom ROM and Google Apps
I had problems with Cyanogenmod (versions 11 and 12) that I cannot explain. I had no GPS and no media sound from the speakers, but I did have "notifications" sound! I could listen to "media" sounds using headphones, though. So I tried the nightly OmniROM which seems very stable and fast at the moment, with no sound problems and also has a working GPS! You can get it directly from their site (the NIGHTLY I downloaded is omni-4.4.4-20150223-pollux_windy-NIGHTLY.zip which runs just fine). Somewhere I read that PacMan Rom - also works perfectly but I have not tested it yet.

I had device recognition problems from the Recoveries ("Status 7 Error") that I think dear NUT will solve promptly. What I did to solve them is

• Upack the ROM zip.


• Remove the first line (from assert(...); till the column) of META_INF/com/google/android/updater-script and save the file.


• repack the ROM to a zip.

Then copy this zip to your external SD card. If you need google apps (you probably do, to use Google Play instead of other applications like Aptoide), you will also need to download and place to your external SD card the corresponding google apps from here - (I found it in this post - which also explains the different gapps versions)

F. Install a Custom ROM
So now that both the ROM and (optionally) gapps are in the device's SD card

• Enter the Recovery while repeatedly press Volume Up or Down while the device boots.


• Wipe everything (except the external SD card, obviously --- if you delete the zip files by mistake you must begin again from step B. using the FlashTool to flash the *.230* ftf)


• Reboot and setup/enjoy your new ROM
  http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2261606


• It seemed that with OmniROM I had lost root access so I had to reinstall SuperSU. I did this by downloading the flashable/installable zip - and flashing/installing it through the recovery.

In the end a did a full backup with the TWRP recovery and one with Titanium backup

[Q] Capacitive Buttons Stopped working, Help installing soft keys topic

Hi my Telstra HTC one XL has had its capacitive keys stop working over the weekend. Before I attempt any hardware fix I had hoped
to enable the default android stock keys so that the phone is still usable.

Thus far I have unlocked using HTC dev.
Installed TWRP
Gained root by flashing SU
Used Rumrunner to for S-Off

I have then attempted to change the build.prop to add qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Upon restarting the device this did not work.
I then tried SB buttons (root) from the play store and another by a similar name
these also did not work.

Is it possible to enable the softkeys on the stock ROM?

At this point I am just looking for a usable phone so I am trying to install Cyanogen mod (taking forever because I forgot Gapps and now have to download that) in the hopes I might have more success there.
However I would like to stick with stock sense or a sense like ROM if this is possible. (I like the camera and have grown used to the look and feel).

For reference the following information is shown on my boot loader page

*unlocked*
*tampered*
EVITA PVT SHIP S-Off RL
Hboot-2.15.0000
RADIO 1.889.32.45.24
Open DSPv33.1.0.45.1128
.emmc-boot

This is my first time rooting my phone/ installing customs ROMs so any help would be wonderful.

Need help Installing CWM on i747 topic

Its been awhile since I've done my firmware, but I'm giving my phone over to my sister soon and upgrading to a Note Edge.

I'm trying to get this phone on Likewise S5, but having a little difficulties with the older guilds to install various stuff, also all the warning on the Likewise S5 don't show up in the guide I was following for the actual installation, like stuff about bootloaders and modems (I don't know what these are), I am a techy just I'm not well versed in Cellphone Firmware talk at all, more of a PC person.

This was the guide I'm following well can't link it, its on Team android, for the likewise S5 for S3 i747

I'm Trying to install CWM Because I believe I don't have one currently installed, if I do is there a way I can find out? all I believe I have is just a oem 4.1.2 firmware that was rooted.
Almost all the CWM guides that are out have their own downloads that no longer work for the CWM that they provide, and honestly I don't wanna mess with it anymore and want to get the proper combination, I've downloaded the latest one for Samsung Galaxy S3 from the Official Clockwork mod website for Touch version, but I'm not sure how to flash "that" I know it says to use PDA on 1.85 Odin which i've tried but it just says

<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1) (No pass or fail)

I'm not sure what I'm doing at this point and could really use some help, specific to what I'm doing.
And to be specific I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 i747 From Rogers Wireless in Canada (Sept 2012), and it isn't bricked have booted it up just fine.

Currently I am dealing with a finnicky USB port as well, need to get some alchohol and see if I can get a more reliable connection out of it. I got it to point now I feel like I'm comfortable flashing it just eh, could be better, long as its sitting generally its connected slight pressure in cord to be sure, usually charges no problem but USB connectivity is whats finnicky. I cleaned out the lint with a needle didn't really seem to help a whole lot but definetly lets the plug go in further now, even bought a new cord that gets a decent click but it still a little floppy side to side, feels like its the plug has room to move inside the female end of the plug, vs anything being "loose"

Unable to configure Moto Voice after installing Xposed for Lollipop topic

So, has anyone noticed the same trouble as me?

I tried to configure my unique phrase on Moto Voice app and it was impossible. The app couldn't even listen to my voice. So I thought it was because I'm using Xposed Framework (alpha version) for Lollipop.
Am I right at guessing this?
If anyone has got something similar let me know please.
