Hi guys, I flashed a jamal's 4.3 rom coming from omega's google edition rom and i did the usual stuff like I always have factory reset etc.. and i reboot the system and fix permissions as usual and my phone is now stuck on the omega's spinning boot up animation with the phone vibrating.
HELP!!!
Re-download the rom, could be a bad download. Did you check the md5sum?

what's a md5sum? :L i can't since my phone doesn't show up on my computer

It's a long alpha-numeric number that is associated with the file. Next time you download a rom look for it on the download page. When you down load a file the md5sum should match the original indicating a good download. There are apps that check the md5 and most file managers will show it in properties
ok, but how do i get out of the bootloop

If you've done the factory reset and that doesn't get you out I'm guessing the rom you flashed was a bad download. You made a nandroid backup before you flashed the rom, right. Boot back into recovery and restore it. Then re download the rom and try it again

Live and learn, I was afraid of that. You're probably going to have to use Odin then which will return you back to stock. And then start everything over again. Have you let the boot loop go for like 5 minutes. Sometimes it can take that long on first boot, but the vibration isn't normal.

the thing is though, i have flash this download of the rom before, and it was fine. i just got bored of it and downloaded another rom. i then decided to go back to the rom again.

Try flashing it again then. Do all the wipes first then flash it and then flash gapps. Did you flash the gapps package? I'm not sure what rom you're trying to flash but it probably requires gapps too.

gapps isn't on my phone so i cant flash it. i've flash it about ten times now and it won't work. it must be a bad download even though i flashed it before. after i flash the rom, it shows the boot animation of the rom i had been using before. werid huh? the only option i have now is to buy a micro sd card and put the rom on that and flash it that way. i really don't want to use odin.

You're just going to give up? Seriously? It's really easy to flash stock fw with Odin. And also easy to root afterwards, to each their own.

What do you mean giving up? I'm going to wait until my microSD card comes and then I will transfer the zip file that way. I don't have time to fiddle with odin. Besides I don't even have a pc, i have bootcamp, which takes a year to boot.
Hey guys, I screwed up bad. Im trading my G2 for an M8 tomorow, So I reverted back to my 'stock' restore on TWRP. Not really thinking about it I tried to update to 4.4 directly from the update centre. Now im stuck in a boot loop going into TWRP and it wont let me into the firmware. Can I still follow the thread that tells you how to go back to stock? Im in panic mode right now so im sorry if this has been asked before. Im just writing this so I can maybe get responses while I try and fix it myself.
thanks,
Brandon
EDIT: this back to stock thread is very intimidating. If someone could tell me an easier way (if there is one of course) to get back to stock it'd be appreciated.

100% wiped as in you wiped the internal storage as well.
Try to adb sideload a rom to atleast get it to boot something? You'll still have to go back to stock tho..
And if someone sends you a stock rom, that won't help you I wouldn't think. You'd still have twrp if you were to flash that. I'm assuming you want it back to 100% stock, right?

No i dont mind having TWRP. I just want 4.4 'stock' D803 rom. As in all the features of 4.4. He knows it is rooted, thats no problem
EDIT: I booted into download mode and rebooted from there. It now goes back into the stock image I had flashed. 4.2.2 LG Skin. he wants 4.4 though is the main issue.
EDIT 2: http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downlo...803R20D_00.kdz can I just flash that into recovery?

Well, it's too bad the return to stock scares you. I'm not too sure how it works for your variant, but it was pretty straight forward to do on my D800. If you could return it to stock, then update, you could use towelroot to re-root (takes like 10 secs).
Aside from all that, i'm not too sure what else you could do really.

CSE will wipe all for clean flash . Thats the way to go. OI have used Cloudyfa stock for D801 T mobile but it did not have WiFi calling so flashed D80120A_00.kdz , over cloudyfa 2.2 stock .You will have to root it . use towelroot apk and let it rain, then autorec for the recover. Good Luck

I accidentally ruined my LG G PAD F7.0 and
am stuck in a Google Play Services Error loop on my tablet
at the first time setup screen and it kicks me back to select the WiFi option i cant access the Android OS or home screen i tried both factory reset options
The Tablet was rooted but i believe the OS/Google Play services is damaged because of an app that wasn't supposed to be disabled that what im assuming....
What i wanna know is it possible someone can make a flash-able dump of their tablet from someone elses same model and if i can use it to restore this tablet back to working condition and if so how??
I also would like to know if any of the sites are the proper recovery files for this tablet:

Ok bro, first thing you need is the LG Drivers which you can get here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/g3...Ver_3.11.3.exe
Next you need the LG Flash Tool which you can get here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/fw..._Tool_2014.zip
Then you need the stock rom which you can get from the sources you found or you can even just google it. Everything is pretty self explanatory. Make sure you're tablet is in d/l mode. If you have any more questions just ask. Good luck!!!

XXX01, did this work for you? I'd like to be prepared if I come across a problem like this. Also, has anyone had any luck flashing *any* custom rom on a 430? I see Cyanogen has release for 400 and 410, and I know this is a recent release, so I'm conflicted by how new the device is compared to how similar it might be to those others.

Did you get your stock ROM yet. I can pull it off one of mine if you still need it., I got two of them from Sprint just to save the activation fees on 3 other phones. I need to root them because they are way to slow. The hardware is way too small. Anyways, as soon as I figure out how to root them I can do a nan droid off the one I have never used so I won't even have to factory reset first. If you give me the steps you did to root yours it will save me time. How did you brick yours?

Extracting a nan droid is easy enough. It is what you should have done as soon as you installed a recovery. t's just a back up. I need to use the same recovery you installed so it works on yours. After I back it up I will send you a link. You put it on your card and then restore from your recovery. It is key to always back up your firmware before you modify anything. If I make a back with the device that I haven't used it will be stock for you. I've never rooted a LG so I'm still looking for the method. I can compress it to a TAR if you want to flash it odin (or whatever is used for LG) but it is easiest just to install it as a restore. You can still power your device on to the recovery can't you?
I didnt even get to the recovery part I rooted and try to reboot after installing supers u from King root and been looping ever since

Getting it out of the boot loop is usefully not all that difficult. Did you try wiping the Dalvik and the cache? That will probably do it. If not what you need is the boot or kernel. Find the stock or the custom kernel and install it then wipe dalvik and cache.
I think i need the boot.img or kernal and I can't find either anywhere I've looked and I've tried factory reset and nothing I have the stock recovery so j can't wipe dalvik

A factory reset will wipe the dalvik. I will see what I can find tomorrow. When I get mine rooted you can use the boot image from my back up if I can't find one elsewhere. It's best to install a custom recovery. If your wanting the option to return to stock a good app is flashily. You can back up the boot loader and the kernel before you install a recovery and then use it to flash it back when you want to. It will even back it up to drop box so it doesn't get lost.
What method did you use to root?
I used king root and I'm no rookie to the rooting Android thing I've been doin it for years I just can't find a recovery to flash or anything other then King root to root it and if i could get it to go past the splash screen I'd be able to fix it but I can't get it passed there unless I find those files

I have been trying to go back to Marshmallow from the N beta 3 preview for a few days now, but it doesn't seem to be working any way I try. I originally tried to use the OTA method by unenrolling my device because that is the way I got the preview to begin with. Every time I tried that, though, it would end in an error after trying to install the update. So i tried flashing the Marshmallow images manually using fastboot. I flashed everything, including the bootloader, radio, recovery, boot, system, vendor, cache, and userdata, but when I tried rebooting, it would be stuck on the Google logo. Can someone please tell me if I am doing something wrong or can maybe help somehow? Thanks in advanced!

Not trying to say you're lying but are you sure you flashed everything? Are you using the flash all script or are you doing each image manually?
Mainly you need to flash boot, system, vendor, and userdata. Userdata just wipes that partition.
The N bootloader and radio should be compatible with the latest marshmallow release.
My best guess is if you used the flash all it didn't work, because it never works.
If not that then maybe you got a corrupted file? Try redownloading it and try again.

Nah I don't use the flash all script. I flashed everything manually and I didn't forget anything. I actually tried this twice and used a new file the second time so it's really weird. I have no idea what's wrong

Try this command first: "fastboot format userdata" - then flash all images, exept "userdata.img".

So you wiped everything and used that ? Can we just flash that or does it have to be side loaded I'm.on N it works but I don't wanna go back to MM cuz it's causing issues to others from what I heard I can keep the bootloader and radio but everything else you gotta flash would you lose root or have to re unlock the bootloader?

Download the file and rename it whatever you want. I changed it to update.zip.
Go to stock recovery and then select update from adb.
Then type ---> adb sideload "name of zip".
You will then be downgraded to stock MM with everything working.
Well at least that's what worked for me. Because I was on Android N Preview 3. It was too buggy so I tried to manually flash 6.0.1. but kept getting stuck on the white Google logo. The above method worked for me.
Are you rooted still? Someone told me if I'm going to pure rom all I need to do is wipe like normal like when you u flash a ROM and with gaps and I'll be fine with the vender image . Or do I have to do it your way . Did you go back to stock mm or a rom ?

yup flashed everything correctly. Try flashing and tell me if it works for you
Hi guys,
I rooted my s3 successfully, but now cannot install the 19s update. I've tried undoing the root and updating afterwards unsuccessfully. Do you guys have any other things I can try? Do I need to re flash the stock ROM?
Thanks !
Rooting typically breaks OTA updates in my experience. You can try flashing stock + stock recovery and then take the OTA. I'm not 100% sure that'll work, but it should.
Come to think of it, I think it's more twrp that breaks OTAs and not root.

Darn, I was a moron and didn't back up the stock recovery, so I guess I'm stuck waiting for someone else with an S3 to upload theirs. Oh well, lesson learned!
Thanks!
try flashing the stock recovery from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-2/development/leeco-le-2-x526-stock-recovery-t3449208
it's from 16S, but it should work. after that you should be able to install the OTA. no gaurantees though

No prob, it happens. I keep seeing .20 builds on YouTube, that add theme store/more theme support and fingerprint sensor gestures. So I might want to do an OTA soon myself. Let us know if 99's solution works.

it wont. i fiddled with my S3 last night and accidently booted TWRP as "read/write", which the OTA can detect as it runs a checksum on the /system partition. if the system partition has EVER been mounted as read/write it changes, and therefore the OTA file will never flash/install. the only way around it is to have someone do a full system image backup from TWRP via a "fastboot boot twrp.img" then selecting to keep TWRP mounted as read only. this also affects all of us on the Pro3 (i have both). it would be wise if we could pull full system images for all US models as there are no full ROM's available
instructions on how to do that are here:

Hey man,
I followed your instructions in your post in that thread, but the modified ota update fails to flash as well, and upon reboot I'm back at my old home screen. Perhaps it was an error on my part throughout the bootloader unlock process; I'm also dumb and didn't know how to boot TWRP into read-only mode (what I did was check the "mount system as read-only" option in the "Mount" menu, don't know if that was right!).
Either way, congrats on getting your phone back to receiving OTAs!
Somebody still have a TWRP untouched system partition might try a dd backup. So we can compare where the different are
