[Q] Did I just turn my G2 into a masonary block?

So, I think I've bricked my LS980. Was rooted runing the stock rom happily when I stupidly accepted a LG UIUU? update. Phone rebooted into TWRP recovery and thats all it will do. Didn't make a backup yet because as I alluded to earlier, I'm stupid. When I power off from TWRP it asks to Install Supersu to gain root yet that does nothing. When I boot into download mode it says rooted on the bottom. I have no idea where to go from here. Is there even an option? I'd love to go back to stock and never mention this again... Any idea? Sorry that I suck

Any way to block update requests on stock ROM when you have custom recoveries? That would be a good idea to prevent mishaps.

When you get ota and is ready to install just use root explorer or root browser and go into cache and delete the update....then click install an it will fail or do nothing and just cancel!

I get "no space left on device" Sigh. Am I doing something wrong? Tried in ABD and TWRP. Blocking updates is great idea in hindsight

Unfortunately I think you'll probably need to revert to stock, then. Unless something has changed since I had to do this with my vs980, you will lose all data, but the good news is your phone won't be bricked anymore:

I'd be so happy to at least get stock! Unfortunately, when I get to Step 4 (of the Verizon variant cause Sprint doesn't use .kdz) and unplug and start download mode it doesn't connect and start flashing What in the world is going on??

I really appreciate it, i'm looking too. Its been 2 days without a phone, driving me crazy. I'd actually prefer it stock at this point, cant screw it up haha. Would a Sprint Store tell me to get lost at this point you think? Thought of just taking it in and begging...I'm out of dignity

You should try Verizon method again with sprint files and make sure its com 41

Hey cmm67 I don't know if this will help you but I was trying to get my phone back to stock a couple days ago and was having trouble. Mine would stay in download mode at 0% every time until I retried the instructions for the lgflashtool. I was extracting the file into the LG flash tool folder using Zipeg but once I tried 7zip it seemed to work. Once again sorry if this doesn't help at all I'm writing this from memory (hence being so vague about the instructions) and on my phone. Hope you get it fixed!

Possible root achieved? False alarm

Seen this posted somewhere, is this method authentic?

Yeah I was thinking that too, just wondered why 1. The date was May 29th and 2. It didn't mention it was Dev Edition?

Does the dev edition have a different build number on it? Everything matches to my device. Still downloading the files

Here is what is shown on the official site "G900VMKAVZW" soooo ?

I hope will work for the att version also

Here goes nothing....

Well, I got a pass!..but then root checker shut me down sooo I'm not quite sure what this is???

Nothing to see here. It's just a stock non-rooted odexed firmware tar. No different than what's on Kies.
That site/article is nothing more than a click bait.

So I got the Oden3_v3.09, and I went for it. Got the 'Pass' and now I get a different response when I go to Superuser, "There is no SU binary installed..." and TWRP manager crashes now. The good thing is, I didn't brick it. Next idea please.

As stated above this is merely a stock ROM which is why you were able to get a "pass"

Installed KINGROM, now my vr headset won't install or even recognize.

I have two s7 edges, one stock rom which works fine and this one - which was stock rom until last night. I rooted and installed KINGROM and everything is lovely, all except now my gear vr won't recognize when it's attached.
I wanted to post in the kingrom forum, but I don't have enough posts to do so, so I have to ask here.
Does anyone know why the headset isn't triggering the install? I can confirm it worked when on stock rom, and the KINGROM page claims that the vr is fully supported.
Australian stock, Optus carrier.
Many thanks

You should have this posted in the international s7e section not AT&T. We don't have root, custom recovery, or custom roms yet. You would probably get a response and possibly a solution if you posted in the right section.

Does XPosed work with the Moto X Pure Edition (XT1575)?

Hi everyone, I recently rooted my phone after becoming fed up with Motorola (my next phone will definitely be a OnePlus ) and I have now decided that I would like to install XPosed Framework. I really don't want to brick my phone, though I do have a backup, so I came here to ask anyway that has done this before. I am running Android Marshmallow 6.0 with the December security patch, by the way. So is there a way to install XPosed on the XT1575? If so please provide instructions (I already looked on XDA and could not find any helpful threads).
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Yes Xposed does work on the MXPE running 6.0 and the December update. I am running this myself. For full details on Xposed, the framework, Modules, and general information you need to go here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed. Everything you need to know should be there regarding installing and finding out about specific modules.

Be aware that we do not have the factory firmware image for the latest ROM version, if something goes wrong it is possible that you could brick the device.
In the next few months we will hopefully be getting Nougat, and Xposed does NOT work with Nougat as of this posting.

Hello everybody!
I'm in a trouble, installed xposed, but stuck on warning bootloader, i'm on january security patch, any idea what can be?

I would suggest that you download the Xposed uninstaller on your computer and push it to your phone, then flash that.
First make sure you put the uninstaller in the directory with adb and fastboot and connect your phone with a us cable.
Second boot into recovery mode on your phone
Third type into your computer's command prompt 'adb push (and then the name of the uninstaller) /'
Four go to the install section of twrp and navigate to the / directory.
Five select the file and flash it (make sure zip verification is unchecked)
If you have any problems please message me, I'll help you out.
Here's the link to the uninstaller you'll want to download: http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/uninstaller/xposed-uninstaller-20150831-arm64.zip
If this doesn't work send me a message, I can try and help you further.

I think we have firmly established that a) Xposed works on the MXPE and b) a bear does indeed sh*t in the woods.

We really need an "Off-topic thread"... I remember back in my Rezound days, that thread was jumpin', and full of stuff like this, something like 25k posts in a single thread called HTC Rezound OFF-TOPIC THREAD
Otherwise, a little fun is fine... but lets not bog down a thread so that if someone has an issue later, they can't find the answer because off all the OT discussion.

Pretty Please Help. Bricked S5 and Lost

So, I'm at a total and complete loss as to what to do. I have spent hours upon hours googling, and searching xda and trying step after step after guide after guide and I canNOT fix my S5! I've tried recovery, I've tried Odin and there has got to be something I'm missing. When I plug up the phone into my laptop, it sort of recognizes it, in the sense that it makes the notification noise of it being recognized, as with any external device. Odin picks it up as well. The issue is when trying to boot up the phone, it's stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S5 custom, android etc screen. it will not go past this. i'm almost in tears right now, and just want to get the phone working again. Is there anyone out there that can help???

Tiny update.
So I tried another method, and still having issues. Only difference is, I get past the powered by android screen, but then when getting to the Samsung with the color and oval it freezes and shuts down. One step forward, 2 steps back.

it is the 900a (at&t). after spending hours upon hours. i finally managed to do something and get it back to working again. the band and the firm ware match, and i managed to get rid of the unauthorized actions detected message.

good to hear!! (or see, rather LoL) usually a flash in Odin with the correct tarball fixes most issues with S5's

well, let's just say i have a folder of 26 links, majority from here on trying to find a solution on how to root and consequently unbrick my phone when I messed it up. that's probably not even all of them. I only posted on one asking a question, but it was about upgrading the firmware (still waiting on a reply on that, lol). so I have no clue which post it was that was finally successful in restoring my phone.
