It's seeming that it's the kernels that are killing our fone. It's the 1 common denominator

Find a different cm10 compatible kernel and flash it through cwm or through Odin.

What is the name of the ker el you flashed. And link possibly.

Have you tried going into recovery? Maybe there is still cwm? Since your flash back to stock seems to have been unsuccessful.

Just had a thought. It's easy to get stuck on boot when you flash back to stock without wiping.
If you can wipe it/factory reset that could solve you're problem.
And it'll boot up.
It's confusing cause it looks a lot like your phone not booting cause of the kernel
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Yeah just take the battery out and get into android recovery by pressing volume up, power, and home button. Then wipe/factory reset and reboot system.

^^^^ just like the gentleman said. Reboot into recovery and factory reset it. It should boot up after that.

Recovery isn't there, any way I could do it from adb?
Sent from my HTC Ruby using xda app-developers app

If you can get into download mode, reflash the stock tar in Odin again or just flash the cwm or trwp recovery tar and reflash a different kernel
Sent from my SGH-T999

Here is a link to Odin-able recoveries that you can use. I also agree with the others that this is probably a mismatched ROM/Kernel that is preventing you from booting up. The only problem I foresee is that you Odin'd a stock image, so now you are not on CM10 anymore. Now you'll have to find a TW kernel that you can flash, like Morfic's or I think Ktoonez has one too. But you can ADB push the kernel to your SDcard so that when you flash the recovery above, you should be able to then go in and find your kernel and flash that.
What I suggest first is to Odin one of the recoveries (TWRP is what I use) and then once that is done, go in and Factory Reset and try to boot it up. If it works, great. If not, then you may need to move on to pushing a kernel and flashing that.

Volume up + Home + Power takes you to Recovery.
Have you tried that?

Phone won't unlock bootloader without bricking

Ok I've now recovered my phone 3 times after trying to unlock my bootloader, I've done it with freegee and GAIO both when i reboot I just get the LG logo then a black screen and nothing. I've tried with installing a new recovery as well as not doing the recovery install at all. Anyone have an idea why this would be happening?

GAIO doesn't root zv9, or zvb. For those you should be using fiddy root.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium

Im currently in the same situation. I used to be rooted on Lifeless but last week I had the same situation (LG screen to black screen).
Now, im only on stock rooted JB. I cant unlock bootloader because it wont let me. You should talk yo shelnut on the irc. When i talked to him last week, he said there is a way to unlock but there is a chance of brick with no coming back. I couldnt risk it, so im stuck on stock rom
Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 2

You both would just use Loki's Locked Imperium. I've been running it and it's pretty nice for people that just can't unlock.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium

After recovering I was at zv7 so that's when I used gaio, the other times I rooted with fiddly. And I haven't gotten to the point of being able to install a rom. After unlocking the bootloader it doesn't allow me to ever even go to recovery.
Does the locked imperium not need a recovery to install with?

fiddy has a Universal root. Its for all versions. Maybe even run it twice to make sure root is good. Then either try freegee again or use Locked Imperium. For now anyway.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium

Well I can't use the locked imperium because my phone hasn't got the jellybean update yet . it's partly why I want to root.I used fiddly the first 2 tries to unlock. Do you think doing a bootloader unlock twice might make a difference?

The short and sweet is: Download zvb update,, update to zv9, root, push zvb uodatebto /cache. Hang on, I'll edit this with a link.

can I just download the zvb update and do it from my computer without unlocking?

Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium

awesome looks like i just need a rooted zv9 to do this, thanks alot!

Also, you don't have to use rootkeeper. Just use fiddy619 root for everything. So zv9, root using fiddy, push zvb update to /cache, root zvb using fiddy root again. I can't remember if it freezes at 4GLTE screen or not. If so, do this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38887359&postcount=155
edit. You dont need to rename the update either

Worked like a charm! Never had any lockups or anything. Your the man!
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium

I'm curious. Did you run root twice? Or just the once when on JB? I'm assuming you unlocked.
Also, I'll rewrite those steps and put them in my guide. Tomorrow hopefully.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium

I only ran root once. I haven't tried unlocking yet though at this time as I'm worried about having to unbrick again. If you want me to try for the guide your writing though I would give it a try.

Bootloader troubles

I tried unlocking the bootloader using android sdk. Didn't work. Im using mac but I couldnt get passed a specific part. Anyways, I found that I could use freegee to do it, but how reliable is it? Is doing it via the laptop more reliable than the app? How often does the app fail? Do I need an unlocked bootloader to install twrp? I can only imagine that I should have a custom recovery before unlocking right? So so many questions....sorry. lol

Wifi Tether

Okay before anyone jumps me, I have searching for weeks on this. I tried various provision files and all have gave me the force close in settings. I tried that Trev E mod wifi tether app also. I can not get this thing to tether now. It worked fine when I was on ATT with a family plan, now I am using a NET10 plan. Phone is running 4.3. Is there no tethering hack anymore?

If you are on stock I have something that will work. I'll try and have something that can be CWM flashed tonight.

Try this
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407576267
I'm running Stock MK6 4.3 on ATT. Worked fine for me.
All it is doing is replacing the TetheringProvision.apk under /system/app.
If you don't want to flash the file above, download apk from here.
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407566502
You will then need to manually put it into /system/app and change permissions.

So anyone try these yet ??

Thanks, I'm gonna test right now. I am on the rooted stock 4.3 rom posted on here in December.

If I manually do it, I will still need adb to change permissions, right?

Yes. But the CWM flash works fine also. I know for a fact this apk works. Been using it for months.
Was just curious if someone had tried the flash. You can download, unzip it and go to the updater-script and check out what it does.

I can't get the permissions to change. I will try to flash it but I have twrp recovery right now. How would I go about flashing it with cwm? If I put the zip on my sd card and go into cwm recovery, just select install from zip file option?

Alright, I flashed it with TWRP and it was successful. I booted up my phone and got a message saying that teatherprovision tried to access a secured area and wad blocked. My phone the tried to update the security policy. I then tried to turn tethering on get an error saying unfortunately tether provision has stopped. The phone then said gave me the same nessage about being blocked from accessing a secure area without authorization. So it did not work. Do you happen to have the stock tetheringprovision file or any other ideas? Maybe the permissions arent right but I'm at work and not sure of the commands off the top of my head if I can even change them on the phone.

Are you rooted ?? Sorry I didn't ask first. And do you want to be? If you run the latest version it will turn off Knox.
You are definitely running 4.3 because Knox came up and said whatta doing dude?
Have you ever done anything to your phone?
Did you rename the original or just replace?
If so, I'm working on posting the oriignals

I do not have knox. Im using the rooted 4.3 stock rom with the hacked bootloader mj4 found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891. So maybe the permissions weren't set right when flashing?

If you go to the web site on your first screen shot
www.samsung.com/us/secureandroid
That reeks of Knox.
And security policy messages/warnings are Knox related.
Go to Settings, find About Phone.
Near the bottom of About Phone ..... What does SELinux status say? Or is there one?
**********************
The ROM you are on is the first one I ever tested the file on.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I think I got it. So you are rooted. Go to apps, open SuperSU. it should prompt you to update. After it does it should ask you to disable Knox.

Ok I went into SuperSU and it asked me to disable knox like you said. After doing that and rebooting, it still says Enforcing under SE for Android. I don't understand the disable know prompt though. I was under the impression that there was no way to disable know so thats why I had to flash the hacked mj4 bootloader. Can you clear this up for me? I am going to try to flash the tetherprovisions again since I am still the error when trying to turn the hotspot on.
