Slow Down Guys - G4 General

I think a few of us are getting too carried away with root lol. I, myself, sure had to catch myself. Don't forget that most of us do not have a custom recovery which means if you brick your device, you'll probably have to pm the devs and if a lot of that happens, they'll end up with an even bigger inbox than before root lol but my main reason for the thread is that everybody is speaking on unlocking the bootloader but I haven't heard one word on a bump'd recovery like on the G3? Is that even possible on this phone? By the way, would it be risky if I tried the universal init.d app? Kinda wanna try L Speed on this.

We can get custom stock roms if any dev wants to do it. We just flash the img file.

We have custom recovery TWRP works just fine and I'm already running a debloated ROM, I guess I don't understand your issue.

Lol who's being a "donkey"?

Only the 815EU and 811 have unlocked bootloaders hence TWRP the rest of the g4 community does not have this benefit... On the subject of bumped, pretty sure that exploit used has been closed by LG...if you guys thought root took long the wait for another BL exploit likely will be much longer. I hope I'm wrong but I can't see another one being found for a while. Seems this time around LG really wants to lock every avenue down. The next coming soon firmware update will patch the current root backdoor, also the root that vnmobile discovered seems to be patched as well, although he hasn't released any details, it could very well be the same backdoor.

Engadget
I just read this on Engadget, I have to say I give HTC and Sprint a lot of credit for under promising and over delivering in my opinion. I absolutely love this phone and to know that both the carrier and the manufacturer are fully behind supporting the phone after launch is a great relief! I never hear of companies doing anything early or at least on time when it comes to software updates...I'm pleasantly surprised!

nand backup and give it a shot, you will most likely lose root
yea good question, I don't mind losing root to install this...but do I just wipe and flash this file as is...because I have fresh's ROM installed now...

[Q] Root for Nexus 4 on 4.2.2 (Easiest Way)?

Hey guys,
I've rooted a couple of devices before (G2X, Galaxy S2, Optimus S). However, this is my first Nexus device. I'm really loving this phone and want to use it to its full potential. I'm been researching alot on how to root it but I keep seeing numerous ways and different advice. I know I have to unlock the bootloader first then install drivers. However, I've NEVER unlocked a bootloader before and I keep getting errors with installing drivers.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to get flamed for asking this (Which is fine, to each his own), but would somebody please give me an easy straight forward way to root this phone? I would greatly appreciate it. So far the videos on youtube dont actually show you how its done (they only show clips of the process already done). I'm currently on stock 4.2.2 version.

If you use a toolkit, you learn NOTHING. Don't fall into that trap.

[RECOVERY] CWM Chinese/English for D855 F400 K/L

Hello i have been searching all over the internet for a recovery that works on the international D855 LG G3 since mine was broken, after days of looking for the Stock ROM i came around this installer that basically installs the beloved CWM recovery on our devices, this is not my work and i can't post on Development since i am not a senior member but i figured there are lots of folks looking for this so here you go, again credit is not mine i just found it on HTCMANIA, enjoy
Original HTCMANIA thread: http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=851775
APK Instructions:
Pretty straightforward, install APK, press Install Recovery, press Reboot Recovery, Enjoy.
You tried it then?

It works on D855. Full CWM recovery.
Edit. Didn't read op
Damn! It worked like a charm on my F400S. Successfully created approx 4GB Nandroid backup.

Can some give more feedback about this? Some screenshots if possible. Thank you...
works on verizon g3!....

Made a nandroid successfully, and could perform everything except for wiping the cache. Pretty sweet!
Wow this looks sketchy...... Locked Bootloaders can't have custom recovery and this thread needs to be locked due to sketchy APK and no source..

There is the source... the HTCMANIA OP even has a link to this page, you see the recovery working... and custom roms flashing via official recovery so... i think you get the picture, yes i am currently using it, backing up and installing Sphinx via normal installation, i don't see why you want it locked everyone is happy

That is false. You can have custom recoveries on locked bootloaders. The OG Xperia Z had a couple of different recoveries, when it's bootloader was locked.
Just flashed a zip works great
How are you guys backing up the stock recovery is no one that bothered about it?

Somewhat, we have over 300 signers but asus sent it to there HQ and never got back to me. It has been chugging along, all we can hope for is that more people find this and continue.

Thanks! Yeah, the camera blows, for sure.
I was wondering, is there a version of Jellybean available anywhere for this device? I tried to update with an older firmware (renamed the zip file to a 'newer' version to try fool the system) but the tablet wouldn't allow me to - it said it only allows updates & not downgrades.. Dammit!

I would advise against it, if you want root, and possible bootloader unlock. It may not cause any issues, but why risk it?
Did you get the one that bumped you up to 11A yet? And how big does it say the file is?

What version are you on now? If you are on 11A and getting an update, it is a new one.
I know it could be meaningless because they could be pushing it out in waves, but I am on 11A and an update check shows there is nothing out there.
Got the update last night.never took it though..my build #right now on sprint is lmy47d....guys do NOT update until root has been pushed out to us..could be nothing but then again why chance it...

Could someone please explain to me what being on 11A means? I don't recall if this is the update that disabled downgrading or not, if so that sucks.
EDIT: Apparently it is, well my excitement & anticipation been shot down quite a bit. -.-, sad really because I purchased this phone July 1st, shouldn't have this update on it...especially from eBay, shame.
