[Q] Issues with Gfree process

I posted this in the gfree thread, by my question has essentially been sitting there for over a week without any real answers. I ran through the gfree directions step-by-step in the wiki; I got an error after "./gfree -f" that the eMMC power cycle failed, so I figured I hadn't gone back far enough in radio versions (the guide/wiki said "Notice: gfree is known not to work for radio firmwares with higher versions then 26.03.02.xx"). I tried a few different radios, and I keep getting the following:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Any ideas?

Which version of gfree are you using?

I have tried both 1.02, and 1.04.

Been over a day, and onto second page. Bump!

The problem may be the kernel you are using. I can see from your screen shot that you're using a cyanogenmod kernel.
According to the gfree thread, gfree doesn't work well with alternate kernels, and they recommend that you flash back to a stock ROM (and kernel) before running the gfree process. See this comment and response here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855764&page=38 (Start with post 379).
Try flashing back to stock and running the gfree process. As long as you make a backup first (NANDroid is your friend), it should be fairly straightforward.

Well good, I was planning on doing a fully fresh re-install anyway. Thanks!

gfree 0.2 bypasses the eMMC power problem. So it should technically work fine with 0.2

any ideas where im going wrong?

You need to cd into the directory where you have your psneuter and etc files...

so cd then adb push etc?
will give it a go
thanks

woo-hoo i have temp-root, am i correct in saying i will have temp until i restart the phone - when i will have lost it?

Yes, restarting will remove a temp ROOT.
Follow this guide, from step 2. Make sure all your files are in the same place. This means when you open CMD prompt you must be in the right directory (C:\<location of files>\) when you run your ADB commands.

all seemed to be going well, got temp root, reloaded into bootloader pressed the power button, it appeared to be loading the new rom, but it didnt, im still on 1.72

cool, managed to downgrade to 1.34.405.5 just need to find the easiest way to root it is now

Use the guide i linked above, it was the easiest way for me to permanent root the phone. It uses psneuters, gfree and then root_psn. It will also give you clockworkmod 3.0.2.4

ok, i downgraded from 1.72 to 1.34, ive got perm. root and want to install a custom ROM, problem is clockwork wont backup my current (stock) ROM, it reboots and freezes at the white htc screen.
anyone shed any light on why i cant backup?

[Q] Fully bricked usb - how to s-off?

I am trying to resuscitate an old HTC Desire. Here is where it stands now:
Bravo PVT3 Ship S-on
hboot 0.83.0001
Radio 5.17.05.23
CM10.1 VJ Jelly Bean 4.2.2 v6.3 (which works perfectly- I also have adb over network activated, and it says: 192.168.1.111:5555)
USB is fully bricked - I can't charge it anymore via the usb-port (but I have a recharger); and also can't get usb-access - and I've tried everything that has been suggested here and elsewhere to unbrick it, but it really is dead)
Can somebody please tell me how I can get adb-over-network to work and whether I could get S-OFF that way? When I try connecting, I CAN ping the phone, but I seem unable to connect, as shown here

I have tried with 30' inrtervals, but it never connects. If anybody could point me in the right direction, I would be extremely grateful. Thanks!

Just documenting my own process. I created a goldcard and was able to get back to running an official 2.1 Éclair ROM with PB99IMG.zip. So I now have the following:
SO I guess next step would normally be to upgrade the RUU (e.g. to the 2.2 Froyo RUU), but all the instructions I find use usb. So I'm trying to figure this one out now - still VERY open to any suggestions.

I got there too. Following the instructions in the troubleshooting guide, I was able to get completely back to stock and to re-root again (with the help of Visionary and su). But the the guide recommends to also S-OFF. But I see no section on how to s-off without usb (like the section on root without usb). Could somebody please put me on the right track? Much appreciated.

[Q] Unable to upgrade software to v20H

I have LG G3 32gb D855, my current Android version is 4.4.2 and when I check for updates via the LG PC Suite it says I can upgrade my software to 20H.
I proceed with the upgrade but when it says "Analyzing Upgrade Environment" it skips to the end and gives me an error:

Everything is connected, I've installed the drivers (Windows 8.1).. What can I do?

Anyone please?

Exactly the same problem here I'm afraid and no clue how to fix.
I've got the 32GB model and currently running 5.0.....
Any help greatly appreciated.
EDIT - sometime I get this message instead - I've only used 6GB internal memory and none of my SD card.....

Hi , go here : http://lg-firmware-rom.com/ and enter your imei number and download the latest firmware for your phone.
then, follow this tutorial :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089 how to flash a KDZ using LGFlashTool2014. Good luck!!!

Thanks twisted_twice, I'll give it a go and report back!
EDIT - after several crashes of the update tool - it worked! I seem to have gone from the European software version (V20a-EUR-XX) to the Taiwan version (V20h-TWN-XX) but I don't suppose that's an issue.
Now, if only I could get the handset to show 4G (only get GSM/WCDMA auto) options.....

mo what mean ? all informations i given when my device is stock just unlock bootloader

Mo = Moment, e.g. 'So that's on your device at the moment?'
Are you saying the picture(s) you've posted are what is running on your device right now, or are you using a GPe ROM? Your OP isn't that clear

and i want it

That's fine. You need to:
1. Change CID to Super CID
2. Flash the ZIP in the 'Back to Sense' thread
3. Once back to the Sense bootloader change CID to HTC__001
4. Flash the 4.16.401.10 RUU available here - https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B17smFr95pleeTQ5U1NzNkZzM0U/
