What about custom recovery for Lollipop...?
Any news?

Just a heads up that this root method works for the new v495 as well. Tried it out successfully today.

Kirek50 No. There is not any Recovery for LG v490 on Android 5.0.2 Lollipop yet.
because i have a little experience on linux and coding i am trying to find ways to install CWM PhilZ recovery. When and If i find something i will inform you guys.
This Thread has and will have All you Need for LG G Pad 8.0
mescalito83 It might work for many LG Models. Those Guides on this thread are tested and are working on LG v490 i don't know if all of these guides are working on other LG models that's why i don't write that this guide is working on other models. You can write if any of these guides is working on other model but first test it if it works good and then post it. Thanks.

Nice work you done here! I will try to root on Lollipop.
I wish we could try some roms from 8.3 but i dont thinks it's possible for now.

Thanks zaf_4 (Ευχαριστώ)
I Don't think it will work due to different hardware between those 2 devices!
Πάντως άμα βγει καμία ROM για LG v490 θα την ποστάρω σε αυτό το thread

Patriotaki,
δεν σε κατάλαβα! Ευχαριστούμε για την βοήθεια σου.
Thanks for the topic, we should have one for LG G PAD 8.0 V490. I dont have any expectations for roms. I know that's different hardware but it's pitty cause nobody cares for the tablet. It's nice though that we have atleast root for lollipop.

Will this root method work on G pad 8.0 F from tmobile? V496
Are there any roms that would be compatible too?

This root method did not work for my tmobile G Pad F 8.0 (v496). However i was able to root it by using the newest version (4.1 i believe) of kingroot (in english i might add), still trying to find a custom recovery that works. I have cwm flashed now but it's all jacked up lol

Really? Post #3 worked like a champ on my T-Mob v496, except it wanted to install something at 18% not 50 like it says. Haven't messed with recovery yet though, really just need my adaway . Anyone think we'll get 5.1 on this puppy?

It pulls up cwm when i boot into recovery but anything i hit takes me to a black screen and i have to hard reset. I down know of any roms but i can't say I've looked really either.
The root method on post #3 gave me a red sad face after like %40. Not sure what it actually said since it was in chinese but i tried once again with similar results so i found the latest version of kingroot (4.1 in english) and it worked for me

Root lg v490 lollipop
Hi guys. I tried twice and managed a new method rooot for LG V490 8.0 GPAD LOLLIPOP . Try for yourself here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197

Hi guys. Successfully rooted T-Mobile V496 using Kingsroot 4.1.x (although I accidentally used the non English one ?). Got the tablet for free via a Father's Day promotion. Gotta say, im pretty im pressed with this thing. Good news is, because of the promotion , we're likely to see more owners and hopefully more development. Going to try to install Xposed next. Will report back.

Kingroot 4.1 worked on my v496 as well, now i can add a swap file so Slacker doesn't close in the background.
Edit - can't create a swap file drep derp, time to tweak the lmk

Known issues
Selecting a Mobile network manually will cause the 'Please wait...' dialog to stay even after the phone registered to the network. Just hit the 'home' button to make the dialog vanish.
Syncing the Calendar with google may not work on a fresh 4.4 installation. Reboot your phone 2 times and it should be fine. (Seems to be a gapps issue, there is nothing i can do about it )
Notes
The two famous CM-Bugs (2 second screen on delay / Loudspeaker issue) are (so far) not present

Version 2.0 from 26. Jul. 2013 (download)
First build based on Android 4.3. Everything seems to work OK so far, but you should probably stick with 1.5 (4.2.2) for now if you really depend on your phone (the release only had a few hours of testing so far)
You are STRONGLY advised to do a full wipe if you are coming from 4.2.2 (fastboot flash userdata userdata.img)
You also need to update your gapps package to 'gapps.yuga43_shaky.tgz'. This gapps build is still based on 4.2.2 but was patched to not crash on 4.3
Version 1.5 from 18. Jul. 2013 (download)
This is the last (and most stable) release based on 4.2.2
Security: Fixed the 2 'master key' bugs
Option to finetune the screen brightness in Settings -> Xperia Z Settings
Installation / Upgrade
Extract the archive (unzip pabx_aosp_yuga*.zip)
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img ; fastboot flash system system.img
If this is an initial installation, also run: fastboot flash userdata userdata.img # NOTE: THIS WILL WIPE YOUR /data - only do this on first-install
fastboot reboot
Please note that the system.img file does NOT include gapps - you can either install them manually or use my handy .tgz file to do it automatically:
Download my gapps package for Android 4.3 from http://android.eqmx.net/android/xperia/gapps_43_yuga_1.tgz
Download my gapps package for Android 4.4 from http://android.eqmx.net/android/xperia/gapps_44_yuga_3.tgz
Run 'adb push gapps_4?_yuga_1.tgz /sdcard/'
adb reboot
Your phone will now reboot twice: 1x to install gapps and 1x to finish the installation.
The gapps package is based on the 20130813 release from goo.im. And no: There is no need to upgrade the .tgz after a new gapps release as all included applications will update themselfes via google play.
Building from source
Everything you need is on github at: https://github.com/adrian-bl-yuga/device-sony-c6603
Code:
$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.3_r2.x
# copy-n-paste the local-manifest from: https://github.com/adrian-bl-yuga/device-sony-c6603
$ repo sync
# Download the v3 blobs from sony and extract them
$ ( cd kernel/sony/k253 && ./_build.sh )
$ lunch full_c6603-userdebug
$ make -j 8

installed, working great (not so smooth like CM or other roms).

How about the Loudspeaker？

when calling? its working.

How do you install gapps without a recovery? Through adb somehow? Instructions?
Changing the animations to .5 instead of 1x and forcing 2d animations made it much faster.
Thanks!
Edit: tried to do fastboot flash zip gapps.zip, and it succesfully flashed, but it didn't work.
Edit again: Never mind, the command wasn't allowed, I guess it didn't work.
Last edit: Manually installing .APK's resulted in quitting as soon as opened. I kind of suck..

Convert the gapps into a tgz, push it to /sdcard. Then run adb shell and do:
mount -o remount,rw /system
cd /
tar -xvf /sdcard/gapps.tgz
...and reboot
I know that the gpu is somewhat laggy. Anyway: there are more serious bugs - this is just an early release.

Will test this as soon as I get my tablet Z will make my xperia Z a testing device

gr8,..less bug means nearly perfect...

What's the camera quality like? Same as the sony firmware that comes with the phone? or more like CM10.1?
Edit: Nevermind; gonna try it myself. always better idea.

No Idea: My phone was running Stock for less than 5 minutes
But i'm using the blobs from the 1.253 release - so the quality should be the same as in the latest stock release.
Btw: I'll be on holiday for about 10 days, so don't expect any releases/updates in the next few days.

It's the same as 5MP on the stock release, attempting to root and failing. if i figure that then atleast i can get a recovery up with XZRecovery.apk

There is no need to root it:
run 'adb shell' and you'll have a root shell (the build was compiled with ro.secure=0)

Coming from your AOSP build for the One X, I was holding out on a possible upgrade to the Xperia Z.
I might just have found a compelling reason to upgrade after all!

You took the words right out of my mouth..... I too used to run pabx's rom on my One X.
I am really looking forward to the development of this ROM. Good to see you on the XZ scene pabx!

Nice rom, hope to see a new version soon, getting another Z (probably) so I can help out developers in this forum on testing

Ok, i've uploaded a new Build (1.0) - it still has some quirks but it is VERY useable: All Hardware is working.
I still need to fine-tune some stuff (power HAL and governor) but version 1.0 is already 'production ready'

Big thanks for your hard work. I`ve tested your previous version about 1 hour, but was not satisfied with youtube. Also complained about the missing recovery for flashing the gapps. Don`t get me wrong. I love Linux, adb and the command line, but flashing the gapps is so comfortable. Will test your new version soon, but for now I will stay with CM-10.1 where I`m complaining about the 2 seconds delay after you hit the power button

[GUIDE] [DISCONTINUED] Install Marshmallow Brazil Soak Build using TWRP

Install Android 6.0 Test Build On Moto G 2014 (2nd Generation)
XT1063, XT1064, XT1068, XT1069
By Restoring TWRP Backup Files

Using this you can taste the preview build of Android 6.0 Marshmallow on your Moto G 2014. This method is very simple as compared to other one which lengthy & involves converting your device model into XT1069 model & later on flashing appropriate modem files. This method just involves downloading the TWRP backup, placing it in your phone & restoring it. No need of PC.
As this is a preview or "test" build of 6.0 it may contain 6.0 specific or Motorola specific bugs present in this ROM.

Steps
Go in TWRP recovery > Tap on Backup > Select backup location from top bar > Select "System + Boot + PDS" > Swipe to Backup > Go Back > Reboot to system. This process will create TWRP directory inside Internal Storage or External SD card depending what you have selected.
Download the 6.0 TWRP backup file (615MB) zip from here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3k7qoMwi-L4d2RyRmIzNWQ0aFU/view
Extract the contents of the zip. You will see "marshmallow_titan" folder, open it & you will see "2015-11-22--20-17-22_MPB24.65-10" folder.
Using ES File Manager or a PC, go to your TWRP folder inside your Moto G2 where you have backed up your previous ROM.
Open TWRP Folder, inside it there should be a "BACKUPS" folder, inside it there should be a folder having your "Serial Number" as its name.
Open that "Serial Number" folder & copy the extracted "2015-11-22--20-17-22_MPB24.65-10" folder in this "Serial Number" folder.
Finally it should look like this : Internal Storage or External SD Card > TWRP > BACKUPS > *Serial Number* Folder > 2015-11-22--20-17-22_MPB24.65-10
Go in TWRP recovery > Wipe > Factory Reset > Go Back
Tap on Restore > Select the location of the copied "2015-11-22--20-17-22_MPB24.65-10" folder from top (Internal Storage / External SD Card) > Select 2015-11-22--20-17-22_MPB24.65-10 > Select System + Boot > Swipe to Restore > Go Back
After going back to Main Menu of TWRP > Reboot > System. It will prompt to install "SuperSU" > Select "Do Not Install"
Be patient, 1st boot will take a long time. Around 15-20 mins to boot into system.
Rooting
Do not flash SuperSU zip via TWRP to root this ROM. It will result in a Bootloop !
You need to boot into system first. This ROM needs a special boot image to be booted up previously & then any SuperSU 2.4x or higher zip can be flashed later on.

Flashed XT1069 Firmware & 6.0 OTA Zip then backed using TWRP on a XT1068, will perfectly work on XT1069 as the firmware backup is for XT1069.

Thanks for your wonderful effort and sharing 6.0 here. Because Sharing is Caring ....

Installed it on my Mexican XT1064 and it works flawlessly. I don't really ever use SMS so it's all good for me. SystemUI Tweaker is excellent for removing the annoying quick settings tile for the non existent second sim in my model.

TV APP
For now it's all working fine.
Thank you!!!

Good Work!

The SIM card is not working. It recognized but doesn't work.
I already did the step 4 of this guide, and already did a factory reset, and still not working.
Can you help me?
I'm using a XT1069 here.

Thank you for sharing, I will try soon. I suppose that I can download and unpack the zip also with PC and copy the folder to the phone... I will try this way

Did you flash XT1068 Modem files on your XT1069?

Working fine. Just needed a factory reset (xt-1068)

Is this compatible with xt1063?

how to do it? my sim card doesn't work either.

Good, very good! 615MB hurts my ISP but I will try it for sure.

Nevermind, i just googled it. If your SIM Card doesn't work and you have XT1068 you just need to flash these modem files http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/xt1068-retaildsdsall-modem-files-xt1068-t2965146.

Hey there, sorry for asking this, but will I lose my data if I install this? I mean, is there a way to keep my data without having to go through the tedious Titanium Backup process? Thanks in advance.

Just Flashed
Flashing it on XT1068 Indian. I will comment about bugs after using. A very big thanks for this :good:

NOTE: Key files are signed with a Digital Certificate from skipsoft.net but some ‘may’ get picked up as potentially harmful by Antivirus Programs and deleted. They are not harmful, this is a false positive given because of the compiler used. If this happens restore the file and exclude the folder from future scans to use it. This seems to happen mostly on AVG Free and Norton. If you are using the Auto Update feature on pro versions then you will need to disable the AV program or exclude the folder from scans before running the update again.

--------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PUBLIC (FREE) AND PROFESSIONAL (DONATE) VERSIONS?
THE PUBLIC VERSION OF THE TOOLKIT INCLUDES EVERYTHING YOU COULD NEED TO MANIPULATE AND ROOT YOUR DEVICE.
ACTIVATING THE PROFESSIONAL VERSION ADDS THE MOST USEFUL FUNCTION IN THE TOOLKIT, THE ABILITY TO CHECK FOR ‘AUTO UPDATES’ DIRECTLY VIA THE TOOLKIT AND HAVE THEM PUSHED TO YOUR PC RIGHT AWAY AS SOON AS THEY ARE UPLOADED WITHOUT NEEDING TO DOWNLOAD THE WHOLE TOOLKIT EVERY TIME. YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE LATEST VERSION AS SOON AS IT IS MADE AVAILABLE. THIS MEANS SMALLER UPDATES CAN BE SENT OUT MORE FREQUENTLY, SUCH AS ADDING A SINGLE FUNCTION, FIXING A BUG OR ADDING COMPATIBILITY FOR A SINGLE CARRIER. THE SMALLER UPDATES WILL BE COMPILED AND RELEASED TO THE XDA COMMUNITY AS A FULL (PUBLIC) DOWNLOAD VERSION SO PROFESSIONAL VERSIONS ARE ALWAYS UPDATED SOONER.
THE PRO VERSION ALSO ADDS THE ABILITY TO CHECK FOR THE LATEST VERSION OF SUPERUSER AND RECOVERY FILES AND DOWNLOAD THEM DIRECTLY TO THE TOOLKIT.
THE ‘QUICK PICKS’ SECTION[/B] ALLOWS YOU TO PROGRAM UPTO 10 SLOTS WITH TASKS THAT YOU MAY PERFORM ON A REGULAR BASIS OR JUST WANT TO KEEP A SET OF TASKS IN 1 PLACE. THEN JUST SELECT THE SLOT AND IT WILL REMEMBER ALL YOUR SETTINGS FOR THAT TASK AND RUN IT.
PRO USERS CAN ALSO SELECT THE “ANY BUILD” OPTION IN THE BUILD SELECTION SCREEN TO ROOT ANY BUILD AS LONG AS THE VERSION IS SUPPORTED (USEFUL IF YOUR BUILD IS NOT LISTED).
MORE IMPORTANTLY DONATING SHOWS YOUR APPRECIATION AND ALLOWS THE TOOLKIT TO CONTINUE TO EVOLVE AND GROW.
AUTO REPLY LINKS FOR PAYPAL TO GET A CODE INSTANTLY CAN BE FOUND AT http://goo.gl/nyGqv
--------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE READ THE *HELP* PAGE AT http://www.skipsoft.net/?page_id=1269 OR USE THE INFORMATION SECTION WITHIN THE TOOLKIT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I HAVE TAKEN A LOT OF TIME TO WRITE IT AND SOMETHING ON THERE SHOULD ANSWER 99% OF PROBLEMS.
--------------------------------------------------------------
1. INSTALLING ADB/FASTBOOT DRIVERS
The first thing you need to do is to install the adb/fastboot drivers. These are needed so that you can unlock your bootloader, root your device and perform other adb/fastboot functions.
THE DRIVERS CAN BE INSTALLED DIRECTLY VIA THE TOOLKIT. OPTION 1 IN THE MAIN MENU.
If drivers are not installed or there is an exclamation mark next to the device:
Plug the device in to a usb cable directly connected to your motherboard.
In the Device Manager a new item, usually called Android 1.0 should pop up in the list.
Right click on the device item then left click on Update Driver Software. Select 'browse my computer' and then 'Let me pick from a list'.
If no adb interface driver appears in the list then untick 'Show compatible hardware' and find the Android or Samsung adb interface driver.
If you cannot find either of these click Have Disk, browse to the Toolkit install folder, drivers folder, click on android_winusb.inf and click Open.
Click OK and select Google ADB Interface.
Make sure you have USB debugging enabled in settings, developer options. In Android 4.2.2 or later you have to enable the developer options screen by going to settings, About on your device and click on Build number at the bottom 7 times until it says You are now a developer. If you have already enabled usb debugging then unplug/replug the usb cable.
On Android 4.2.2 or later when you replug the usb cable after enabling usb debugging for the first time you will get a popup asking you to authenticate your pc. Tick 'Always allow' then click 'ok'.
--------------------------------------------------------------
2. USING SKIPSOFT UNIFIED ANDROID TOOLKIT
When starting the Toolkit you will first be asked which device you want to work with. Working folders will be created and the device files downloaded. You will then be taken to the Model/Build selection screen where you can do a number of things (other than select your model/build): Type '00' to enter your activation code and enable pro features, 'i' will take you to the Information and Help Section, 'a' will give you information on how to add support for a new build.
Supported builds are listed in the Model/Build selection screen and typing the associated number (i.e. 11) will download needed boot and recovery files (stock and custom recovery) then check for and download the latest superuser files available and custom recovery (pro versions only), verify all the files and start the Main Menu. You can now use all the functions and tools the Android Toolkit offers. Pro users can select the "any build" option to root any build (useful if your build is not listed).
--------------------------------------------------------------
USEFUL INFORMATION
How to get into your FastBoot Mode
1. Turn your phone off
2. Unplug your usb cable if you have one plugged in
3. Keep holding the 'Volume Up' and 'Power' buttons to boot the phone into FastBoot Mode
How to get into Recovery
1. First boot into FastBoot Mode as described above
2. Scroll down with the 'Volume Down' button until it says 'Recovery mode' at the top and press the 'Power' button to enter Recovery
--------------------------------------------------------------

I take no responsibility for any fault or damage caused by using the Unified Android Toolkit. No warranties of any kind are given.

**FAQ**

**VIDEOS**

I have finished all the work on the OnePlus modules for the 1, 2 and 3 devices and it is ready for testing.
You can download and test the Toolkit from the link in post#1. Please remember that this IS a test version at the moment as I do not own any OnePlus devices but I have checked all the code thoroughly and don't see any problems. I am especially pleased with the unlock/lock routines and will probably implement the code for the Nexus modules if it works well.
Everything can be checked (and please do) except downloading a stock build directly from the Toolkit as I am waiting to hear back from AndroidFileHost to see if I can get direct links to use in the Toolkit. The fastboot flash routines are working though and the Toolkit will detect the storage of the device (16GB or 64GB) and flash the relevant userdata image so you do not have to do that manually anymore.
I have used the Universal USB driver pack from CWM so if anyone has not installed OnePlus drivers yet PLEASE test if this works. I did originally include the official drivers from OnePlus but they close the Toolkit when the drivers installation starts and thats not great.
The ALLINONE routine should work fine and I have sent out some pro codes to testers to check it all works.
All builds are covered and the correct version of TWRP will be downloaded depending on the build selected. Please check everything and let me know of any bugs or textual errors (as I used a lot of the Nexus code) so I can release it publicly as soon as possible.
Thanks, Mark.

Great job, thanks a lot!!!

Dude, did a scan of your file and found this: Result: Detected: Trojan-Ransom.Win32.Cryrar.gib care to explain?

Trojan?
I hope not - seems legit.
I have 2 problems:
1)
It never asks me to authenticate the PC on the phone after installing drivers - tried both driver versions.
But the Phone serial shows up in the menu, the driver test is fine and I can backup .apks.
2)
I can not flash the OTA
Is it because it is a full stock image instead of an OTA?

I found the problem right away, just deleted 1 word by accident when I was renaming things.
I have made new device modules and uploaded them. Delete the ConfigOnePlus3.exe file from the Tools folder (or run ToolkitClean and select the OnePlusThree), then rerun the Toolkit and select your device to download new modules. Should work then.

Thanks and thank you for staying with me, I have had to change some of the procedures for the OnePlus.
Should be all fixed now. One of the procedures I had to skip set the filename for the OTA image. Have added it back in.
Clean the module files, download the new ones and retest. Hopefully it should go through.
Mark.

It is sideloading now
Reboot was successful - thx
Btw: If you want the help text to be 100% correct:
When you reboot you have to chose ENGLISH (or you can chose chinese or madarin?)
And it is called 'Install from ADB' not from USB.
Then click OK to 'Do you want to update' (not 100% sure about this text - can not remember now.

Thank you. I have uploaded the fixes to all the OnePlus device modules so that part at least should work for them all now.
Does the language selection come up as soon as the device boots to recovery?
I put Install from USB as thats what it said in the flashing tutorial on oneplus.net I will change it to Install from ADB/USB just to be safe for all devices.
Thanks again for the feedback. If you want to test any of the pro functions (ALLINONE) then let me know and I will send an activation code to your inbox.

Have you unlocked your bootloader? This is required before flashing/bootings images to your device.
I can capture the error when trying to boot/flash with a locked bootloader to provide more help for the user.
Mark.

The language selection come up as soon as the device boots to recovery - yes.
No I didn't unlock the bootloader - I didn't think it was necessary - help text said something about unlocking - but not that it was required.
I just wanted to backup the device - not flash anything.
Yes let me try (ALLINONE) - send me a PM thx.

I have changed the text when booting to recovery and added extra error control when flashing or booting an image without the bootloader unlocked. New device modules uploaded.

This is a Guide to install the Global ROM Flyme OS 6Global on the Meizu Pro 6 Plus Chinese version.
Note: This is also a way to install Any custom ROM made in the future. If someone wanna Customize the ROM( Integrate Xposed and other stuff) feell free to do it.
What does this mean:
Meizu released two versions of the Pro 6 Plus, a chineese version (A) for china and an International version (G) for the devices sold in other countries (International). If you bought your Pro 6 plus from official meizu store on your country, it will come with the G version, but if you bought it from Aliexpress or any other Chinese store, you will buy a Chinese version, some seller may send you the international version if you are lucky but the majoritynot.
Global / International version:
No bloatware, chinese apps..
Multilanguage ( all languages available)
Stock apps optimized for International use (Weather....)
seems to be smoother and faster than the chinese version.

Disclaimer
*** As always - Read everything carefully and Flash on our own risk! ***
I can and will not take any responsibility for bricked phones or lost data.What do we need:
Rooted Device
FlashFire app from playstore
Flyme 6.1.0.0G _Global_Stable_Pro 6 Plus for Flashfire

Instructions:
Its recomnended to back up your data (Titanium backup, your fotos etc)in case of disaster.
Update to a newer version:
Copy the new version to Internal storage
Open Flashfire, click on the + button and choose Flash Zip / OTA
Select the Downloaded ROM from the file explorer and select Mount system read write.
Now you will see a screen with all the actions that will be done, select the action called Reboot and un-thick the option Preserve recovery, leave Normal selected.
Finally click on FLASH and wait until the process ends.
Enjoy...
Note: In case of any problems and you want a clean installation, add the wipe action from the + button before flashing. But it should not be needed.
Note: it seems to be a problem with supersu if you don't wipe data before update. so to avoid problems, you should wipe before flash.
If you want to keep your apps and data, you should make a data (data partition only) backup from flashfire before updating. then wipe and update, follow instructions to root and to have super su. After that you can use flshfire to restore data backup (only data partition) .
also you can use kingroot but its not compatible with flashfire.
If you already updated, you can use titanium backup(give root permision from system root in settings, security root permissions)make a backup of your apps and then follow the guide below How to go back to stock chinese ROM in case of disaster, after that follow the instruction of new installation and when you have the that done, you can rstore your apps with titanium backup.

Flyme OS 6.7.4.11_beta_Global_Pro 6 Plus for Flashfire

Thanks for this tutorial! It was very detailed and easy to follow.
In the future when I want to perform an update, do I need to go through FlashFire in order for it to work correctly on a Chinese version of the device? Also, where do you download the "G" versions of the beta firmware? I know their next release is a stable version and I know it comes out after the A version; just wondering where you go to download it. Cheers!

For future update you can download the stable from http://www.flymeos.com/firmwarelist?modelId=46&type=1. Or the betas from flyme forum. You will have to edit the installation script to be able to flash through flashfire and don't get error and avoid firmware problems. Anyway i will upload the future updates modified for flashfire.

Thanks!!! I tried looking through the zip file to see what you changed, but didn't know which file to go into. I assume it's not as easy as opening up a file in notepad and changing some data on there.

Thanks dude! Looking forward to it.

im surprised at how small the response to this phone is....just stumbled upon it while looking for a new device.
this is rather off-topic but this seems to be the most active thread

thanks for that.
i have question,i can flash the Flyme 5.2.7.0G by this method?

@bihariel Hey I have a question for you. Have you ever experienced a sudden change in battery life out of nowhere? When I first installed this firmware, the battery was perfect. All of a sudden after charging my phone, the battery is draining at an unprecedented rate especially on standby. I charged the phone to 100%, disabled all notification/wifi/cellular network and left it on overnight to activate the battery calibration. The problem still exists however. It's draining about 1% every 2 minutes on standby which is ridiculous.
I'm just wondering if you ever encountered this issue before.

You can but you have to modify the script to avoid firmware files and recovery.img to be flashed, which would end in an installation abort,

Not really, the battery is surprising me on this ROM. Maybe you sould use a battery monitoring app and see whats draining it. If not, do a factory reset and see if it still prsists.

How To Install Flyme OS 6.7.4.11 Global on Chinese Pro 6 Plus
This is a Guide to install the Global ROM Flyme OS 6.7.4.11 on the Meizu Pro 6 Plus Chinese version.
Note: This is also a way to install Any custom ROM made in the future. If someone wanna Customize the ROM( Integrate Xposed and other stuff) feell free to do it.
What does this mean:
Meizu released two versions of the Pro 6 Plus, a chineese version (A) for china and an International version (G) for the devices sold in other countries (International). If you bought your Pro 6 plus from official meizu store on your country, it will come with the G version, but if you bought it from Aliexpress or any other Chinese store, you will buy a Chinese version, some seller may send you the international version if you are lucky but the majoritynot.
Global / International version:
No bloatware, chinese apps..
Multilanguage ( all languages available)
Stock apps optimized for International use (Weather....)
seems to be smoother and faster than the chinese version.

Instructions:
Its recomnended to back up your data (Titanium backup, your fotos etc)in case of disaster.
Root:
Go to Meizu page and create and account. Enter a valid email as its needed to activate the account. if you already have an account, just skip this step.
Now go to Settings on your device and Select Meizu account, Log in with your new created account.
Go back and select Fingerprint & security , then select Root permission, scroll down and confirm. The device will reboot. Now its rooted but i recommend installing supersu because the built int root some times has failed for me.
Install SuperSu from playstore, open it and select Update su binary, choose Normal. wait until it finishes and reboot.
Now you have Root
Note: if you dont have Google Playstore, open meizu app store and search for supersu.
Install ROM:
Root your device
Install Flashfire from Playstore
Download This modified Flyme OS 6.7.4.11_beta_Global_Pro 6 Plus
Copy the downloaded ROM to Internal storage
Open Flashfire, give root permissions and click on the + button,
Select Wipe and then ok
Click again on the + button and choose Flash Zip / OTA
Select the Downloaded ROM from the file explorer and select Mount system read write. See these screens for more information:
Now you will see a screen with all the actions that will be done, select the action called Reboot and unthick the option Preserve recovery, leave Normal selected.
Finally click on FLASH and wait until the process ends.
Enjoy...

Optional:
You can Install gapps from flashfire along with the rom, just select Flash zip/ota and select Gapps zip, this way it will be installed after rom. Or you can use Google Installer which you can find in meizu appstore after reboot.
Note: For future updates, do not update the device from the Updates app included as it will donload the Gobal version of Flyme but it will fail because your device is still a chinese version.
How to go back to stock chinese ROM in case of disaster:
Download the latest version of chinese Flyme from: http://www.flyme.cn/firmwarelist-101.html#3
Turn off the device （hold power button until it turns off.
Hold Volume + button and power button at the same time until the phone vibrates. it will enter recovery mode.

Hello everyone, thanks a lot bihariel for this guide.
I have successfully installed the beta with flashfire and it's all ok!
Some people say flashfy is not a very safe method, what do you think? I'm not an expert.
However, I did not go to the flymex account synchronization, now I've installed the closed beta apps yesterday and it works perfectly well!
We wait for the stable then!
Can you explain how you modified the update for the future? Thanks so much.
Are Alternative Methods to Flashfire? Type ADB?
In Italy a seller on his blog posted this guide, but I could not install it:
"The tutorial for installing firmware G in the Asian Meizu Pro 6 Plus smartphone is really very simple and does not require solid modding basics, you just have to be careful about installing ADB drivers correctly.
Load the battery completely before you begin the procedure and save all your important data
On your PC or on a Cloud as you will need to make the full factory reset.
Prerequisites Preinstalling Firmware G in Meizu Pro 6 Plus:
1-Smartphone fully charged
2-Any antivirus and / or firewalls disabled
3-Driver ADB properly installed, restart your PC after installation!
4-Enabled Root permissions through Flyme account (Fingerprint and Security Menu)
5-USB Debug Mode Enabled in Developer Options (Accessibility Menu)
G Firmware Installation in Meizu Pro 6 Plus:
Decompress the Meizu_Pro6plus_Flyme 5.2.7.0G.zip archive and copy it to the root folder
Of Meizu Pro 6 Plus the file system-i.img
Decompress the archive adb_tool.zip and in the folder obtained we select the file
Cmd.exe to open the command window
Write in the command window:
Adb shell
We give Send and permission to ADB through the pop-up that will appear on the Meizu Pro 6 Plus display
We will read in the shell @ Pro6Plus command window
WARNING: If the pop-up display does not appear, ADB drivers have not been installed correctly!
Write in the command window:
su
We give Send and permission of ADB SHELL root permissions through
The pop-up that will appear on the Meizu Pro 6 Plus display

Write in the command window:
Dd if = / sdcard / system-i.img of / dev / block / platform / 155a0000.ufs / by-name / system
We give Enter, we will see the cursor blink, we do not touch anything until the flash procedure
The system will not be completed and the screenshot message below will appear
Meizu pro 6 plus 01
Disconnect the usb cable from the Meizu Pro 6 Plus and restart it by holding down the button
Power for a few seconds, the startup process will take a few minutes, do not alarm and we start booting.
When the terminal is started we go in

I can tell you that for now the safest method is flashfire because it install the ROM in same way that the Recovery does, that is: it wipes the system partition and installs the ROM with correct permissions.
The method you mention is more risky( to get a bootloop) because it overwrites the ROM files directly over the System partition with the OS still running on phone. This drives into a system hang freeze. of course you have to turn it of by holding power button until it restarts. Then you have to go recovery and do a factory reset if you get bootloop.
I tried this method before Flasfire but it gave me bootloop so then i used Flashfire because it do the same job that Recovery does.
About the modifications, its really simple. Just open \META-INF\com\google\androidupdater-script and delete all the lines in red in this picture (these lines check if your phone is Chinese version or global and update the firmware files.)
Also you can delete the files related to those lines just for safety (boot.img, recovery.img, logo.bin, ldfw, bootloader..)

Salam,
The camera bug is weird, i don't have that bug, i open the camera ( front and back) many times and it works perfectly, maybe you changed something in camera setting ( erasing camera app data should help)
Anyway, the script is exactly the same as mine, its just you are using and editor with Arabic orientation.
Just use the app Notepad++( google it) and open it in English lang.
If not, just upload the script for me and i will edit it.

[GUIDE/TUTORIAL/HOWTO] LG G3 D855 Stock to Android 11

[GUIDE/TUTORIAL/HOWTO] LG G3 D855 Stock to Android 11
[GUIDE/TUTORIAL/HOWTO] LG G3 LG-D855 (Unlocked/Europe) Stock to Android 11 R/LineageOS 18.1 with all files included, Netflix and Disney+ working
This detailed step-by-step guide helps you transform your LG G3 D855 to a powerful one with Android 11.
I wrote it because what I read was incomplete or outdated.
Make sure your phone is compatible LG G3. In Android, go to Settings > General > About phone > Hardware info > Model number is LG-D855.
If not, quit this tutorial.
### I'll make a few comments like this, PLEASE READ THEM !
### WARNING. DO NOT CHECK FOR ANDROID UPDATES (we'll see this later).
CHANGELOG
v3. Use Netflix and Disney+ in SD
v2. Fix the link to download Android 5 firmware
v1. Initial release for Android 11
1) DOWNLOAD
- djibe LG G3 d855 pack: https://bit.ly/djibe-lgg3-d855-pack
(contains LG USB drivers + LGUP + KingoRoot4.8.apk + b007.autorecd855_2015-04-16.apk + Quick Reboot ROOT.apk + TWRP Recovery 3.5.2_9-0-d855 + Magisk root).
Unzip files.

Hi jason, glad you liked it !

I have a LG-G3 D855 Europe version with 16GB internal storage and 2GB RAM
I read that the main camera doesn't work on the D855 (European version), is that correct?
What else doesn't work when Android 11 is on it?
I have a LG-G3 D855 Euro version with 16GB of internal storage and 2GB of RAM.
At the moment I have Fulmix ROM 6.9 installed (is Android Marshmallow 6) and thus also rooted.
So I could then install the new TWRP 3.5 and then the ROM Lineage OS 18.1 afterwards, proceed as described or do I have to pay attention to something else?
Thanks for the hints and tips

Installed... no WLAN on my LG G3 D855 with Lineage 18.1
Ok, now I've set everything up successfully, on my almost 7-year-old LG-G3-D855 with only 32 GB of memory and still a poor 32-bit device.
The WLAN settings required that I had to switch the WLAN encryption to WPA2 CWP on the AVM Fritzbox 6660 Cabe.
It's sad that such an Android 11 as Lineage 18.1 doesn't get along with normal settings in the Fritzbox as WPA2/WPA3. Didn't the developers pay attention again? something like that is allowed with Android 11 !!! not happen.
Even my old Fulmics 6.9 ROM could work perfectly with the Fritzbox 6660 Frotz OS 7.29 in 2.4 and 5 GHz mode, only Lineage 18.1 can't do anything with it. Already very sad.
But ok, I solved the problem and now the front and rear cameras work as well. I still have to look for an icon pack for the surface, the normal icons look terrible!

Glad you did it.
I don't remember having troubles with Camera.
I can't help about this AVM Fritzbox 6660 Cabe thing. I don't know this.

Hello friend, I have installed this ROM, but testing it, I verify that it does not record video. I have tried other apps such as Open Camera or even the LG Camera apk and the same problem still does not record video. At first I even did a factory reset to see but it still can't record video, do you know any solution or is it because it's the latest version of official Lineage OS that I flashed, what version does the video camera work with? Thank you.

I had Fulmix 8 and proceed this tutorial and it went well. I wanted Lineage because with Android 6 there are many apps that no longer run. The problem with Lineage OS is that the video camera does not record.

I fixed it by updating Google Play Services, Play Store and Framework and rebooting.
