Hi, I've reading a lot (all posts here for sure) and understanding how to manage my new (4 me) Android M2.
I have managed to ROOT it and install and use several apps.
I also managed to flash a SBF to it.
The problem is I have a UK ROM and I need the Baseband for Latin America, I have managed to flash the Brazilian ROM but this one cannot be ROOTED, so I returned to UK.
With the UK ROM I only get EDGE and with the Brazilian I can get 3G.
Thanks for your advice for this newbie to Android.
Maybe a nandroid of a brazilian rom would solve the root problem, maybe...
But I can't upload a fresh nandroid, so quick.

Thanks for your quick reply!
I'll do as you tell me, I'm a natural born tester.
Please advice and I'll do so.
I'm uploading an old system.img.
The new ones are modified: with some motorola services and the homescreen frozen, so you cant boot without Launcher Pro or ADW Launcher installed in the data partition.
You'll maybe need to wipe the data and cache partition to install the nandroid (its a custom restore). I assume you have Droid 2 Bootstrapper installed and know how to use it.
Edit: Finished Uploading!
hxxp://dl.dropbox.com/u/17589298/system.img
make a file named nandroid.md5 and copy/paste this:
5af82d003a80d200d44252c16d179e36 system.img
then put both in the same folder!
Any trouble, I'll help.
Thanks again, I downloaded the .img and made a "nandroid.md5" with notepad and renamed it to this. I placed both in the same folder inside the SD card.
I have installed Droid 2 Bootstrapper but I don't know how to use it very well, I don't see to find the "Custom Restore" when I reboot on recovery.
What I'm doing wrong?
I forgot!
Put the files in the forlder /clockworkmod/backup/choose.a.name/ no spaces!
Ah! Read the red PS first...
In Droid 2 Bootstrapper:
1- Press "Bootstrap Recovery" button and wait for "Success!" popup message.
2- Press "Reboot Recovery" button, it'll restart your phone in ClockworkMod Recovery.
In ClockworkMod Recovery:
***Use Volume or direcional keyboard buttons to navigate, OK button near direcional buttons for "enter" (some say camera button is like OK, but not for me) and Power button is ESC/Back, if you press Power on Main Menu the phone goes black, just press it again.
The phone boots to ClockworkMod Recovery if you shut it down and put it to recharge, but inside the menu recharging doesnt work, so have the battery 100% charged.
2- Navigate to "Backup and Restore", press OK.
3- There are 3 options: Backup (you may want to do this before) Restore and the third one (I think its "custom restore"), select it and then the system.img, and it will ask you to confirm. Finish!
PS: Maybe you'll need to "Wipe data/cache partition" and loose all your configs. if you don't do this, MAYBE you will get a bootloop, if it happens just boot to recovery (can be the normal one, just turn on the phone press some key I don't remenber) and wipe data. I did this when installed Apex Rom 1.3.1 for Droid 2, yeah no phone calls though...
PS2: System is in Portuguese (TIM-BR), can change in configs to English and Spanish.
PS3: A good console.
Thanks you very much !!!
I'll charge it to 100% and try it.
I'll post my results, I wish I can solve the 3G issue.
I managed to get all over, when i'm trying to flash it says:
ClockWorkMod Recovery v2.5.0.8
Checking MD5 sums...
MD5 mismatch!
I found this
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714114
but I don't know how to do it.
Any thoughts?
Thanks again.
Download AFV from android market and check the MD5 Hash of system.img. Change the token in nandroid.md5.
PS: I didnt read the other topic... no links on mobile.
Sent from my A953 using XDA App
Hi, I made the new hash: a19f75003c646a9718c3d5609fad717f but I changed it and keep telling me the same. Maybe I'm not doing the MD5 as it should be, can you please tell me how to do it, step by step, first time for this. Thanks again.
I'm lost now, I erased the nandroid.md5 file and then I ran again the AFV and now comes back the MD5 you posted. I'm sure I don't know how to make it. Thanks again.
Also, I have managed to flash a Brazilian SBF but the GSM conexion comes in and out, that's why I returned the UK flash, do I need the Brazilian ROM to flash this image? Thanks again for all your time and help.
Well, I think this should work:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17589298/nandroid.md5
I will try it and I'm sure that I will post my sucess !!!
Thanks, I made all steps by the book and now it says MD5 sums Mismatched...
Any ideas? You are very kind.

What's the name of the folder you put the files?
It can't be "The Folder", it has to be "TheFolder", no spaces or it says MD5 sums Mismatched
Try this name "2011-01-09.01.46.31".
Check with the md5hasher, just to be sure.
Thanks for all your time and all the teaching. I did everything by the book, I copy/paste the folder name and double checked that had no space, I also checked the MD5 with the script you sent me, now it says that the MD5 Mismatched!!! after a minute of "thinking".
I'm gonna try to flash a Brazilian SBF and on top of it this image. I'm trying to think outside the box but there nothing that can I imagine. Thanks again.
Hey could you upload that SBF? The link is off for now on...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914071&page=2
Edit: Now I got it, forget it.
Thanks, I downloaded the SBF from that link, I first installed the Brazilian and I installed back the UK. I've read a lot and nothing seems to fit what is wrong here.
Do you still want me to upload the SBF?
I really appreciate your posts.
I reflashed the Brazilian SBF that I downloaded from the link you posted and didn't let me do nothing, is unbranded but didn't let me ROOT it or nothing, I had to change again to the UK SBF.
I tried to install custom recovery file provided fom a youtube video for my LG G2 D802 international version (cant post the link cause i am new, but the youtube user name is Phone Tech Kid, the video is titled: "LG G2: How To Install Custom Recovery (Easy Method)"

The problem is that after successfully installing the recovery file i cant even go into recovery mode on reboot anymore. The phone is bricked :crying:
I didnt pay attention that the video is from 11.2013 and my device had the 4.4.2 KitKat from end ot March, seems that has caused the brick.

that video is outdated and would never work on kitkat if you want custom recovery and can still boot into your phone(android os) then try AutoRec it is the easiest/only way to get recovery on kit kat

Yes i used the power+volume up button combination and it went in download mode, than the screen changed and showed "Firmware update" beneath it: "Do not unplug the USB connection until the prcess is complete." Is this the donwload mode?
The link with the recovery back to stock ROM seems complicated with lot of steps. Can i instead go for a google edition rom (such as EHNDROIX V) instead of the stock ROM at this stage?

yes that's download mode and that is not like flashing a rom through recovery that is the only way to get your phone back to working condition and method 3 is a batch file which does it all for you

1.2). Firmware Files HERE! KitKat 4.4.2 Firmwares
1.3). Download R&D FlashTool (offline fix) & LGMOBILEAX: HERE & HERE
1.4).Download Drivers - Click Here
Than Method 3 from the link you provided.
How do i do it exactly? Drivers i have already installed the rom is downloded. Step 1.3 is not clear how it works togehter with Method 3?

after you install the r&d tool and lgmobilelax you just have to run the batch in method 3 and everything should be done automatically

Thank you, thanks a lot.
Rooting worked, checked it afterwards with an root check app.
Also installed the AutoRec successfully with the apk file, i did run it after inszallation and everything. But i want to test it whether it is there, how can i check it? I held the power+down keys but its an white screen: "Factory hard reset" below it: "Permanently Erase user Data & Reset settings?" and below this: "Press power key to confirm, and any other key to cancel". Seems not like recovery with a lot of options touch buttons and things. How can i check for correct installation of the AutoRec?

oh to confirm if custom recovery installed correctly on the factory reset screen click power button 3 times and it should boot into custom recovery or download an app from playstore like rom manager and use the option reboot into recovery

Have a t-mobile note 3. Just rooted with root de la vega with the source firmware from sammobile. AFter rooting, I noticed the back and menu button doens't light up and not respond to touch anymore. I read several threads and found the the generic.kl might be messed up, it did indeed show back and the menu key with nothing instead of "wake_dropped". I've tried reinstalling stock again with odin...no change...re-rooted again, then even modify the generic.kl file in /system...still it's not lightly up to let me use it.
Interestingly, the button do respond if I use the spen to touch it...but it won't light up. but when I use my finger, it's not sensing?
Anyone has any ideas? Really need help with this. Would it be due to the file from Sammobile? Is there another source for the stockfirmware?
The only other possible solution is try to upgrade to 4.4.2 and hope that will be fix?
Please give me some help with this.

Hi
I have placed a new update in my dload folder but I am unable to update. When I press volume +, volume - and power together, TWRP loads instead and on my update screen, all I can do is check for updates (there is none), it doesn't give me the option to install locally. Is there anything I can do? Would it be worth trying to get hold of stock recovery?
Thanks
Brezzz
you need stock recovery
Thought as much, is anybody able to provide this please?

I have a Galaxy Tab A 8.0 SM-T30 too. So, to root it, download Odin, then download TWRP (which is Team Win Recovery Project). If you have Lollipop (5.x) version go to Link 1. If you have Marshmallow (6.x) then go to Link 2. Link 1 : www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347801968 Link 2: http://redirect.viglink.com/?key=bb...ww.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424953305
First turn off your device fully and press power button + volume down + home. You will go to download mode. Connect the usb cord to the computer. After the file you have downloaded on your computer, drag the file to the desktop. Go to Odin and and press AP (second clickable button from vertical view). Then find the file from the desktop and click (open) it. Wait until it says RESET and OK. The device is going to reboot. Then, on the computer, download SuperSU from this link. Link: https://download.chainfire.eu/1001/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.78-20160905010000.zip
Then transfer the file to the Samsung Device into the Download section (if you don't have a SD CARD) or to the SD CARD.
Reboot to Recovery mode (TWRP) by pressing Power button + Volume Up button + Home button. After, go to install and go to the desired place you put the SuperSU file and click on it. Then it will say Flash Zip? Swipe to say yes. Then reboot. After that reboot, then go to Play Store and download BusyBox by Stephen (Stericson) and download SuperSU from Chainfire. Then that is all! You have rooted your device and good luck on adventuring the Android World!
