LS980 = Major Pain. I've rooted and flashed over 20 phones/tabs and I think it may be worst.
Thanks for any help !
I have bone stock Sprint 4.4.2 Kitkat ZVC LS980, then rooted and w/ TWRP 2.7.0.
I get bootloop after flashing CM11 or Slimkat and wiping.
I can get back to stock KK if I spend 5+ minutes mashing the buttons in different combos w/ different timing and USB inserted or not, and getting to recovery. Then I restore the stock backup I made.
I previously flashed many different ROMs and kernels OK.
All this recent grief was preceded by flashing the wrong KK modem, then trying to load Mahdi ROM, having CM installed at that point. That gave me bootloop.
From recovery I used dd to flash ZVC partitions. Recovery stopped working and I got fastboot. I tried using fastboot to flash all partitions, then I got Security Error.
I fixed Security Error by spending 3 hours messing with a Windows 7 PC again, using flashtool to flash ZV8 that worked before. (This time I wrote down steps, for next time, LOL.)
So ZV8 worked, and I OTA'd to ZVA. That worked and I OTA'd to ZVC.
That's when I used ioroot25r1 to root succesful. And LS980_AutoRec to flash TWRP 2.7.0.
I've never used this phone as a phone or had any dealings with Sprint; not sure about it's previous history, I bought it on EBay.
BB seems to be M8974A-AAAANAZM-2.0.20046, I presume automatically updated w/ OTAs before root and recovery flash.
I swear I must have spent at least 8 hours on this "adventure". And I'm a dev who's been doing low level Android for 3.5 years and low level Linux stuff since 1996 and built various CPU and computer projects starting in the late 1970's...
So what the heck am I missing here ?
Thanks for any help !
I don´t know if it could be helpful, but I use to flash my LG G2 D802 with a stock rom JB not KK, and I use too CWM not TWRP and I´ve never had a problem flashing.
I have Slimkat in my device, although I had CM11 and stock roms modified without any problem with them.
Anyway, good luck

Yeah, it should be easy enough to try CWM.
Some carrier variants, like my Sprint, often have issues the International models don't.

Flashing CWM didn't help.
What worked was LG Flashtooling back to ZV8, and rooting and recovery installing from there, as I did many months ago.
I dunno why. But I'm happy for now, until next bootloop at least.
Finally, great news

Only for a little while.
Flashed CM11. Good.
Flashed SlimROM. Good.
Flashed Mahdi and LS980 Patch. Good-ish for a while, then the kernel went crazy with audio devices disappearing.
Try to re-flash CM11. Bad.
Try to restore stock. Bad.
Grrr... Back to LG Flashtool ZV8. OTA to ZVA. Re-root.
Not sure about next step.
Time for me to learn about Loki I guess.

These days, all phones for CDMA networks are going to have more issues than those for GSM networks. Really best to go with a GSM network if possible. But Verizon's network definitely beats AT&T's (and especially T-Mo). Not worth the price, IMO, but I'd say only use Verizon if you're in an area that only Verizon works well. Sprint is useless.
It´s a pity hear that, I wish you the less possible problems with it, and a soon solution

This is a phone I bought only for testing of my FM apps. I think there's a place for a GSM SIM in it, but I still don't know and don't care too much right now.
EDIT: Hmmm, under System updates I've never been able to do "Update PRL", "Update profile" or "UICC Unlock" I think due to authentication issues. But I can "Update Firmware" and I think "Update LG Software".
I went with Sprint instead of D802 because they were cheap on EBay, as low as $200-250. Possibly a banned ESN (despite the EBay listing), but again that doesn't affect me.
But if I could do over, I might go for d802; as you say less troubles, and many more people have d802s than Sprint.

Hey guys. So i've been beating my head against the wall here, trying to search ( yes as in using google and the xda search ) for a solution.
I keep trying to flash stock based samsung roms, they would flash, but when i try to open the camera, it opens but it freezes and then comes back saying camera failed. So I wait about 10 minutes, and the camera works...but only for about a minute, then it freezes and then never opens again.
I've tried flashing all of faux123 kernels, only one worked ( 006-MDX ) but the camera still has issues and I can't seem to find any other kernels compatible with the I337M.
Anyways, I've now tried flashing a I337M firmware based custom rom and it boots but now there it just wont boot up at all, just gets to the samsung logo and sits there, I've tried flashing other kernels but nothing will help. I'm going to have to Odin back to stock, but I'm wondering what Kernels are ok to use with the I337M so that this doesn't happen to me again in the future.
Any help and I'll have my thanks finger ready
EDIT: Ok, so after some poking around, it seems that T-Mobile kernels work well with the I337M. Can anyone confirm this for me before I bork my device again? (currently doing an odin back to stock and re-rooting... =(
It is not wise to use other carriers kernels. Not a good idea. The att i337m kernels are just as good as the others. How would you benefit from it?
Btw the answer to your problem is you have the wrong kernel. Get into recovery and flash the kernel for your device.

9505 kernels work. Flash Adam kernel directly after flashing the ROM. If you still have problems with the camera, flash ROM, go into camera and let it update firmware, immediately flash Adam kernel then reboot.

I can imagine, I still have a g3 that is in working order with a sim, and it is cool to see the loader unlocked. although on the g4, as long as I can flash a rom, I do not care how it works. I am a happy camper right now.

I guess with LOKI you are still set, the biggest drawback with the locked bootloader is probably slower device reboots, as you see the custom screen?

This is the update schedule for American carriers. Does that mean that unlocked phones will get it sooner? I hope so. I only just bought the note 2 (Best decision ever) and would love it to be running on 4.3 ASAP.

I live in Brizzy too and I'll second or third that if its the only way we can get it?

have issues with the ota updater as soon as i root my device. The moment i do that i get the message that my device has been changed and i cannot use the updater then. if i flash stock withouth root i don't have this issue.
reckon its best to make a backup of your apps with TB or any similar program when the official update is available, then flash back stock (no root) and update, afterwards simply restore your normal (non-system) apps and your ready
I'm in Aus too, but the official story (courtesy of Telstra) is that there won't be any updates as of JB 4.1.2, unless there's sufficient backlash ...

To answer you and the gentleman above... Australia will probably be the last country on earth to get the update as usual. So we might have to reside to getting it of some kind developer who uploads it here somewhere.
If you do wish to get updates you should go back to stock firmware (probably the first backup you made for your telstra 4.1.2) doesn't matter if it's rooted. Connect your phone to the PC and have KIES installed. Click update firmware and update (done, it will automatically unroot your phone and put back the stock recovery). You can easily update after that.

Well now...I've been holding off playing with rooting my phone (as I'm new to 'droid and have an awful lot to learn, but have come a LONG way in 2 weeks) as I was expecting Telstra to release an update. Since that appears NOT to be forthcoming, Ill consider the various root options, none of which are particularly appealing at the moment mainly as it seems no-one has a stock ROM for this phone online and I can't backup mine without root. Catch 22 it seems. Information on locked bootloaders, Telstra ROM mods, rooting the 7105 "T" version is VERY limited
So...if anyone happens to have a link for a ROM copy please let me know.
(Or info on a rooting technique that works)
Ultimately every one on xda will be using the custom 4.3 rom for the note 3 goodies because Samsung will not be releasing those features in it's official release

Okay I will explain what I done for you...
When I first rooted my Galaxy Note 2 in May, I was a new-comer to android, I had an iPhone for a long time. What I done was root my phone, I Odin installed TWRP after rooting because I really don't like CWM (those are the names of the 'recoveries' available), they will replace the default Samsung recovery. Just make sure you get TWRP. I think it's up to TWRP 2.6.3
Well yeah let's get back to the topic, as soon as I rooted I used TWRP to make a backup of my default Telstra ROM (completely with EFS, MODEM, basically tick everything you can possibly backup).
I took that backup and put it on my laptop and on my PC and I kept a copy on my external card the whole time. That was the best idea, any time I ever had any problems with my phone I went back to that backup. I even soft bricked my phone once and after hours of panicking I realised I can just Re-install the default backup, and it fixed my phone.
Oh and I just recently un-rooted my phone to check for updates. All I done was use SuperSU to do an UNROOT. Then went into recover, restored the original backup I made of the Telstra ROM. Plugged my phone into the PC, and used Samsung KIES to check for firmware update. It just restarted my phone, removed TWRP recovery, re-installed the samsung one, and it removed the root completely and I'm basically went back to my original telstra ROM. I can go into settings and check for updates and everything. (I can confirm there is no update as of yet).
AS for your other QUESTION.
ALL THE ROMS in the N7105 Section will WORK with your N7105T Model. It's the same thing. JUST WATCH OUT and make sure you never install N7100 ROMS (They will soft-brick and could hard-brick your phone).
Thanks for the input.
I've been considering between 3, namely CF AutoRoot, Galaxy Note Toolkit And (exploit based) Framaroot, with a bias towards Toolkit so far ( as it specifies the 7105 "T" variant).
But if you've actually ODINed a GT-7105T (Telstra) with CWP without issues, I'll certainly consider that.
Any one else care to chime in on this (if you've done the same phone/telco only though !)
I've come far enough to understand rooting,boot processes, CWM/TWRP, exploits AND the importance of picking the exact model !:laugh:
I'll take the plunge when I get enough input to decide.

It's not that hard really, you can't really mess it up if you follow the instructions... Hey root it whichever way you see fit, whatever you think is easier for you, don't listen to me. But I do highly recommend you get TWRP for backing up and formatting and installing your ROMS. Also I recommend PAC-MAN it's a good ROM, but it's not very stable at the moment (kind of).

Hello,
Just so you know my "knowledge" Level on rooting, flashing etc.
Started with htc evo, Then a GS3, and suscessfully rooted and flashed multiple roms and packages to both those phones.
This lg g2 is somewhat confusing me. Heres what ive done so far, Just trying to make sure i wont brick my device when i go to flash a custom rom.
So far i have, Ran the ioroot .bat and rooted the phone, Used FreeGee to Put TWRP on it and have suscessfully backed up my Current Stock OS.
Ive read a bit about Loki? Do i need to do anything else to be ready to flash a custom rom. "Noob" question i know, but this is my only phone. Cant afford to have a nice 1080P paperweight lol

Hi,
myself, being one happy Note 4 user, felt betrayed when Samsung locked the bootloader since COJ5 for Exynos variants, dunno about Qualcomm but I presume it's the same. Past this point we can't go back to whichever official (or custom for that matter) ROM, rendering our choices nonexistant. As far as I am concerned, we possess the phone thus we can do whatever we want, heck, I've paid a great sum of € for it! But samsung now says no-no. What gives? It isn't against the EULA afaik, and we have a crippled device now
Thoughts?
is the COK1 bootloader also locked ?

How is it crippled besides the ability to go back ?
You can root, flash kernels, flash deodex stock ROMs. and custom ROMs ? What else is there? I don't understand.
I've tried both the COL2 and COL1 recent releases on Sammobile and while I can't revert back to an earlier firmware it has affected nothing in customizing my phone.
Yeah it sucks not being able to go back. It could suck a lot more.

Yeah, maybe I've got a little bit reactionary there, but
Well, for one I can't go back to Kit Kat, which was a completely different beast altogether...
I can't install viper4android (which I could with custom roms under the same bootloader but got into many other problems like cut-out audio for phone calls and 92% stuck battery when charging)
It does, and as I said maybe I was a bit over the top, but I'm expecting someone to crack this useless feature. What's the point anyways?

I found this is a good base here for the N910C
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/rom-note-4-mod-t3244665
Flash TWRP via ODIN. Root and custom kernel via TWRP, then make a backup.
I haven't messed with Viper in a while. Been trying the other audio mods.
I'll see what I can find. I've got a COL2 deodex ROM built. Messing with other tweaks.
I've messed with a v4a mod and finally got it working on stock COJ5 with root. Now everything's working fine and savvy. Thanks for the assistance though!
So, I had a day 1 v20 that began randomly rebooting back in december. Thought it was a hardware issue and finally got around to replacing it the other day. Now, after getting the replacement v20 set up on a custom rom (AICP) I'm seeing random reboots again. I've tried every single custom rom available for the h918 and they all experience reboots. When i've asked about the issue in the threads it seems as if I'm the only one. It appears to be a custom-rom only problem that apparently no one else is experiencing? The kernel panics are being caused by the modem, and it started happening when I upgraded to the 10j base. This replacement also came with 10j. Am I just super unlucky with two duds or is there really something going on here?
TLDR; Anyone else with a h918 with 10j bootloader/modem running custom roms and seeing random reboots?
What kernel do you use? If you use Konverged, it seems to give random reboots after a while of use. I noticed that right away though.

Have always left kernel stock.
Are you making sure that you are wiping data when flashing a rom? Clean install should help. What other things do you use? When does it crash? Maybe a root app is causing this???

This is a fresh replacement device with a clean rom install. There was no data to wipe. Happens even without any apps installed and it's completely random and cannot be reproduced. The only thing I know is the modem is causing the kernel panics.

Welll would this help at all? https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298927322 Its the modem and radio for H918? Not sure if this could help at all. I have a VS995 device. And I havent seen anyone else with this issue. If you do flash this... Backup yours first.

The phone came with stock 10j.. flashing this wouldn't change anything.

Im just wondering if for some reason the 10J is messing with it somehow. What rom are you using and what other roms have you used in the past that give you this issue?

So things that already have issues :silly:
All jokes aside. I would recommend trying Weta to see if that helps. Very stable rom

The entire point here is that I don't want to run stock or anything based on stock. I would simply chalk it up to the Lineage base but since I'm one of a serious minority having this problem I'm led to believe it's something simpler that can be fixed. Possibly related to 10j as most custom ROM users are still running 10d firmware

Anything not based on stock will give you issues. One reason why I like stock based roms is because the second screen will actually work... I would atleast test a stock based rom to see how it goes. If it works and doesnt crash, Then something is wrong with the rom or your could be flashing it wrong :/ Idk, just an idea to test. Non stock roms will Always give you issues. Always
If you still have issues on a stock based rom, then I would downgrade with the kdz and try again. Its probably crashing since the modem is 10j and the rom isnt really fit for that.

I never used the second screen, it's more of a nuisance for me. Everything it did can be replaced by gestures and lockscreen settings on custom. Only thing I miss is notifications but that's why we have ambient display.
I might try downgrading to the 10i firmware to see what happens. Unfortunately there are no 10d flashables. Otherwise this ROM is flawless.

Not to shoot down your opinion, but why would you get it if the Second screen is a nuisance to you?? Im also pretty sure camera is screwed on custom roms.... I just dont have that appeal. Its better safe than sorry to check and see if a stock rom works fine than to downgrade and it still doesnt work :/ Idk thats my 2 cents

It was between this and the axon 7. I didn't want a fullHD screen so that eliminated a lot of the other options.

Note 7 chaos force you to this phone as well? I prefer the second screen tbh. I haven't touched a custom rom since my note 2 and I had issues with them then. But hey, if it ends up working then more power to ya

Not a Samsung fan. Especially with KNOX. I buy phones first based on the chances of development producing workable custom ROMs and second based on hardware features.
Back to the main topic: I just managed to flash the 10i modem alone so we'll see what happens. I'm working on extracting the 10d modem as well.

UPDATE: Flashing the 10i modem made no difference, still having random reboots (although they seem less frequent), I will try the 10d modem once I find a way to extract it from the TOT files posted on this forum.
