[FTF] LT26i 6.2.0.B.211 Customized_MEA

Find attached the torrent share

Hi.. What is customized mea?? Sorry n00by here :-/
AbDYaSaR

Same question here.. What "customized MEA" means?

What's different between this and the other version?
Its bugfix update or only arabic region patch?

Mea=middle-east & Africa I believe

A little more information besides "torrent link" might be nice. Like, what these "customizations" are, and whatnot.

Does this fix the WiFi bug in Syria

All I can say is that all custom apps installed in this rom can be removed without root.
For what .211 brings, compared to .200, search on the forum

I'm not mysterious. I took the time to download it and to share it. I have just installed it to be sure it flashes OK. I saw many custom apps can simply be removed. I didn't test anything else.

I was looking for the MEA one to hopefully solve if the Wifi issue in Syria
I will report back once I finished downloading/testing
More Deatils .. if you're interested (sorry for posting here)
I tried the official update via PC Companion (after relocking) but still I had the same problem (phone freezes completely after turning WiFi on)
I Live in Syria.. and I read somewhere that changing the "operator.sim.numeric" value would help, but not for me, I tried "setprop" and MarketEnabler.. The "operator.sim.numeric" value changed alright, but the problem is still present
for now I flashed back 6.1.A.2.55 and WiFi is working as expected (so I know for a fact it's not a hardware problem as some people suggested)
if someone please can figure this out and suggest a road start, I would be so grateful, Sorry again
EDIT:
Thank you, I confirm that the FTF is working good.. I flashed it with no problems
but the Wifi issue is still there.. but I confirm its not the ftf problem, it all on Sony side with Syrian Sim Cards
however.. removing the SIM magically makes the Wifi Work Again!
Thanks anyway man, good share

unfortunately the bootloader isnt unlocked so we cant flash custom roms to the og pro...from other users it seems that that is true of the international versions as well. next time a lil digging might save u the trouble of asking. there is rooting available so u can make some tweaks...at least for the att version. havent looked into weather it would work on other versions, maybe a dev will answer that for u. as for the docomo gui, the simplest answer to that is just install nova launcher or go launcher or some other launcher and use those themes, i used to use go launcher a lot and it has tons of customizations and controls u can tweak.

That current root method should work for all versions of this phone.

Oh
Thanks for your answers,
1) so the versions for the F220K doesn't fit to the L-04e?
2) can someone give me a link to the root method? (i afraid to make mistake...)
3) the docomo is not only gui it takes control also on the Contacts and some of the features that google usually do.
Thanks!

Here it is
Flash a Korean Rom, by experience it's not dangerous to flash a wrong rom
Look on the forum to know how to flash if you don't found a thread you can test this method

thats the root for this device. again i would advice not to try flashing any roms...so far from whats been discussed in the bootloader unlock forum flashing will either brick ur device or it'll force a factory reset and all u'll do is wipe ur phone. we're almost to the point of being able to flash roms soon tho so give it a lil time. as for docomo pretty much trying to control ur phone, its still a droid, u can install apps to do cover everything pretty much. i rooted mine and loaded a different texting app and got rid of the one included by lg/att. as for contacts u can download different apps to manage contacts and dialers. i had mentioned go launcher before, they also have go contacts that is a customizable contact app, they hae their own text app too...so u dont have to use the docomo provided apps, even if u dont root it

the root guide is for AT&T only... should i use it if i am not AT&T?

That unroot method should work for all versions of the phone. If you do some digging you will find it is actually the same root method for the Optimus G.

Yes i tried, famaroot not working on this phone (((

Update, way too late. I got a message saying I had successful rooted. It in actuality had not worked. Still looking to root it.
Sorry for the incorrect information and late update.
Originally I wrote:
I just got root on an Optimus G Pro L-04e NTT DoCoMo. Followed instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006946. It took me a couple of tries as I probably did something wrong, but I am now rooted.
I also tried FeeGee (paid version referenced in the above link) to get get the boot-loader unlocked. That hasn't worked for me. I started to do the more complicated manual version noted at the above link, but it looked like it was going to try to do the same thing and so gave up while I was still ahead.
I hope the bootloader unlock becomes available soon.

Thanks for the rooting information. i didnt try rooting yet.
i also hope that the bootloader will be unlocked soon

[Q] Noob proof rooting

Hi,
I just received my first smartphone and am really excited about it Aaaand ... I'm totally new to Android and the whole rooting & Custom firmware process
I want to root to Backup my TA before unlocking BL and was looking at zxz0O0's guide. There are now quite a few versions of the z1c dual recovery from NUT. I am on Android 4.3. Can I simply use the latest version?
Thanks a lot!

latest version is appropriate 2.7.99 (not tried it yet) as I rooted mine before KK came using 2.7.95

perfect, thanks for the information. Will give it a try and hope not to brick anything

I think it's safe to say that version 2.7.97 does not properly work so make sure to not use that version.

UN-ROOT and back to stock?

Hi,
I want to root my
LG G3
Model D855
FW: V10i-ISR-XX
Base: KVT49L.A1408602401
If I want to go back to that.. How can I do this? I didn't see my model at the KDZ files list..
1. Can I flash the stock (Any) and from LG PC Suite Change to ISRAEL and Flash the FW? (So back to ISRAEL stock FW as above?)
2. Is there an issue or trails / tracks of root after flash? such as KNOX on Samsung?
** Which root method do you recommend?
is it possible only to unroot the device without complete lose of data and ROM flash?
Thanks :=)

What is the meaning of all the letters? LG is very new to me on flashing FWs.. and I'm not a newbie about it at all..
And which one do I need?
I supose that this is the file that can flash the phone and "Un-Root" it.. right?

You'll have to do some reading on your part, as I have a different model and I'm not familiar with yours. You should be able to flash the stock FW through the lg update tool and that should revert you back to unrooted stock.

OK, I've managed to download the right one for me. Thanks :=)
P.S.
Where can I find some useful info like that?

what about that question?
Is there an issue or trails / tracks of root after flash? such as KNOX on Samsung?
You should know that one I think.. it's not a model related

I'm assuming you mean is there any evidence left that you were rooted? A simple google search lead me in the right direction, you might want to try that next time before creating a new thread on the same topic.
Although, this is for AT&T ----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/general/root-counter-qfuse-t2819471

1. Use the search option before making new threads, like the person above said.
2. You should consider thanking the people in the above posts who took the pain of replying to you, though they could have scrolled on.

What's wrong with flashtool?

https://github.com/Androxyde/Flashtool
Download button is on the right hand side underneath 'Clone in desktop' button... This will flash anything anywhere anytime.... just put yr Kk ftf file into the Flashtool firmwares folder and it will show up as a choice to flash.... Job Done
Or.... you could download the Android SDK and use adb to flash your ROM but there's a bit more to understanding how to work with a CMD window opened in platform-tools folder to run the adb.
https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html
If you have a Z1 compact I find it odd that you have a slower device with lollipo on board.... or is it stock lollipop...? Custom lollipop ROM's run like the wind on my Z1 cos there's no bloat to clog it up and fill up the RAM.... minimal Google apps ensure it runs fast and the control over how yr handset runs is yours.... not Googles

Hello, thanks for your reply.
I downloaded the flashtool (zip file) and tried to open it but it gives me a error when i attempt to run ''Flashtool.exe'' (under ProgramExe file)

"i have already a kitkat ftf file but not a workable flashtool."
This makes it sound like you've got a 'broken' flashtool .... ..... but I'm now guessing you've never used one before and that is why it's not 'workable'....?
If you've never used flashtool before then you need to read thru the thread at the beginning of this forum in the General section.

Hello, thanks for your reply.
Yes, i am new to the flashtool stuff. Before this i manually updated my mobile phone to lollipop ugrade with a step by step approach.
The file you provided i could not open it. I will take a look in the thread you provided.

Update : I managed to use ''sony mobile flasher by androxyde'' to put a kitkat firmware on my phone and it succeeded.
I just dont know if this version i put is the official one. If you could give me a link to the official kitkat version for z1 compact(yes i searched but couldnt find anything) it would help a lot.

Sony logo is present at boot, yes. Maybe some stuff look a bit different because i was getting used to lollipop ! ?
Additional info :

android version : 4.4.4
I really cant remember where i downloaded the ftf file but it was not a official website, i think.

The best way to speed up your device is to manage the limited RAM resource that such a small computer can have built into such a tiny space. Unwanted bloatware and 'uncontrolled' background applications use up too much RAM as ideally you should aim to never be using more than 30% of total RAM with the device just turned on and loaded...so when you open an app or go online to browse you have plenty of space to shuffle stuff around..... and that's why the clever guys here design Custom ROM's which run much faster because they are tuned to be more efficient than stock.
If you add to that having root access and the total control that comes with it you can end up with a much faster device by ensuring you only have the apps on board that you use and that none of them are running in the background unnecessarily. You can monitor your RAM and cache usage and learn how to adjust your app settings to get the best out of what you have constantly.
It's like any machine ... off the shelf works.... but if you tune it for optimum performance you'll get much more from it.

Indeed as Spudata rightly notes those letters represent regions and so you can tell from that your KK ftf you obtained and flashed is a customised from Russian origin. I would guess that when you first booted into set-up and were asked to select the language it 'may' have been on Russian by default and you had to scroll down to select your language of choice....?
If you ever decide to try out taking full control of your device and experiece the full power it has then the best time to experiment is when you get a new one so you can keep your old one to play with in case you manage to do some irreversible damage, tho that happening is becoming far less frequent with the tools that we have available nowadays thanks to the awesome work of the clever people who work to develop them and share here on XDA.
Enjoy

Thank you for reply guys.
@Lightning,
Yes indeed, i do not know if it was Russian but it was Cyrilic for sure, so yes most likely it is a Russian version. I assume there are also EURO versions out there ? Would it not be better for me to put a EU version ? ( I am from Netherlands).
Indeed, i am trying to learn more from you guys, after i have found my ideal firmware i am planning to put 4k video recording on the device and so on.
