[Q] system ui has failed

Please help me!!!!! I keep getting this pop up over and over. As well as i have lost my lockscreen. I cant pinpoint around what download or visual modification i made before it started. I have restricted root access to different things then swapped the permissions for others. Restricted access in droidwall. Disabled and reenabled many things. Im at a complete loss right now. Its not a MAJOR issue at the moment but highly frustrating. Can anybody please help me?

Upgrade recovery using LG suite tool on PC or try reinstalling the v50020d update again! I'm getting google play services stopped, but nothing major! I guess it's something with the version services 5.0!

U can try to reinstall the latest update available for your tablet using LG Suite by clicking update even if no new updates are available I think!
U have the Verizon lte one! I don't know what is the latest firmware for yours, but it should work normally! I don't think you'll lose any files if u don't factory reset, but I'm not sure about this! You'll lose root if you were rooted when u upgrade recovery using LG Suite!
If u are rooted, use titanium backup for backup and easy restore.
And if u have root working for your tablet, then flash a custom recovery if u don't have one and find the latest uploaded LG official KitKat firmware in the development sections and flash it!

Does it happen when you are using a chromecast? When I use play music through the chromecast I was having a similar problem. I am on 4.4.2 with a v500

If this starts to occur and you recently did an upgrade recovery, you should have also done a factory reset after wards. Having recently upgrade recoveried in the LG Tool, I had a nasty loop of system ui has failed that I could only fix by also factory resetting the device.
Incidentally this does seem to occasionally still occur when I use the physical volume buttons with my chromecast.

I have this using chromcast. I have found an easy fix! Just say "ok google "(if u have enbaled it everywhere) and it fixes it!

Are LG G4 stock apps available for DL?

I went a little too far with removing some of the default LG apps after rooting and I'm getting odd issues now. I'd like to reinstall apps vs. reimage the stock setup if possible.
Does anyone know where I can grab all the stock apps for the G4?

If you install LG Smartworld, you can download all the LG apps again.
it's also accessible here: http://www.lgappstv.com/

Thanks for the suggestion but it looks like the applications I need aren't in this store. So far it looks like I need to reinstall LG Lifetracker, LG Backup and LG Air drive.

There is somewhere you can download them. I thought it was that app. it must be another LG app somewhere, because I had to use it to download and install the FM Radio app.

Found it!
Settings - About Phone - Update Centre - Software Update.
Your missing apps are in there for download

It claims all apps are installed. I wonder if I didn't fully delete the apps with Tibu so it thinks I still have them.

Why don't you just reapply the rooted system.IMG you used while rooting. That will give you all your apps back

I tried that and it didn't for whatever reason.

I almost wonder if perhaps you had frozen the apps at some point prior to uninstalling them cause if you did, when you reinstall stuff tibu would pick up that you want them frozen and they would be gone again. Flashing the system installs all the crap that's included in stock so this is the only logical reason I can think of that would be causing your issue

I have the LGUSMms.apk installed, I see it in folders, in app drawer, but when I click it, it says app not installed, won't open. I redid the rooted image, still the same. Any ideas?
VS986 (LG G4)

Has anyone come up with an easy way to go from 11A to 13B?

Anyone have an easier way then flashing a KDZ, Doing an OTA then rerooting the 13B?

Not until someone comes up with a 13B KDZ.
-Joe

I was rooted on 11A and used this method to upgrade to 13B:
1. Run the LG backup app that comes on the phone. It makes a full backup including apps and settings on your external SD card. Just make sure you have enough free space.
2. Install the Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant - LG. It's also already on your phone and it installs automatically when you connect to a PC with the USB PC Connection set to Media Sync (MTP).
3. Once the phone is connected and the Assistant is running, select Repair Assistant. During the repair, it will ask if you want to back-up your data to the PC. I skipped this because I already ran the LG Back-up.
4. When it's done, it will restart your phone with the unrooted factory settings. After I went through all the standard set-up stuff, I ran the LG Back-up restore and restarted the phone.
5. Check to see if a system update is available. In my case, it took a couple hours for the system update notification to pop-up, but once it did, the 13B update ran perfectly.
The only thing missing on my phone right now is root, but I'm perfectly happy to run stock until the Marshmallow update arrives. Then I can run a standard update and deal with root after that.
I hope this helps.

Thanks for the advice. I also was wondering the easiest way. Just an FYI for me, the assistant did take me back to stock. But looks like it didn't factory reset my device like it said it would. So I can't update software since I froze that when I was rooted. Guess I need to factory reset myself??

I appreciate the help fellers

Odd & problematic behaviour after 6.0 update Any ideas ?

First of all, I salute everybody that chips in to this comunity, active or less ! G'day, gents !
And now, to the problem(s) :
I have a stock 16g/2g D855 (Romania/Orange), no root, no tweaks, nothing, except an original battery change couple of months back.
My phone didn't take OTA updates, don't know why, but i've been updating it via PC Suite / Mobile Support Tool.
Last update was 5.0, all was fine.
Now, on the other hand, after the update to 6.0, a small hell broke loose.
First of all, until now, after the power on LG image, i had a small LG animation, now it has changed to some stupid Orange explosion crap + wallpaper. That doesn't bother me that much, but the fact that whatever wallpaper i choose, it changes it back to the Orange one right after restart...
Second, and third, and fourth & fifth ...
QuickCircle apps no longer work (even though they are activated and selected), so my "submarin"ish flip case is useless... Facedetection, no reaction... KnockCode, same thing, doesn't even lock the phone, no matter the security type. I can't even change my Display Off style anymore. Developer Options, gone, not available for this user (altough user is owner) and clicking hundreds of times on build no. doesn't do anything. Notification bar, no kind of available selection on it (like wifi or data, etc), except user & the notification button in the button bar doesn't even slide it down. Plus a couple more of these "small unfortunate events" :silly:
But the biggest problem is that when and if i turn on the wifi, the phone almost instantly restarts, and keeps doing so if i'm not fast on the touch and disable it (like split second after finshing boot) and thus becoming an unusable plastic...:crying:
So i've tried reinstalling the update, via Recovery Upgrade two times (all went smooth) but problems are still there. I'm starting to think that this might be a something wrong with the update. Eitherway, main concern is, what do i do now ? Wireless is 30% of my job...
Specifing that i'm pretty much a noobie at this kind of stuff, thank you all for taking the time to read about my problem !:highfive:

the software may be having some issues, i recommend that you download the kdz file for the software and flash it via flashtool, all problems should be fixed and the o2 bloat will be removed.

Thank you for your reply
But doesn't this require root ?
And most of all, won't i lose everything ? Settings, accounts, contacts, data ? Or is there anyway to backup everything ?

It doesn't require root.
But it would certainly wipe everything including your internal sd. The only way is to take a backup using any app and moving the backup files temporarily to a pc or any other external storage.

Thank you for replying
Ok, seems logical. Any advice about some software that cand do that properly ?
I mean all & all. Accounts, passwords, contacts and so on...because I can't remember my Google account pass (or any other one for that matter) for the life of me, and the maps to the nav app are a pain to dld.
And besides that, can the backup be actually performed, since i can't access the Developer Debug Mode ?

There are many apps on the play store for taking backups. You can use the to take backups of apps, contacts, messages and so on.
However to backup accounts, passwords and app data you require a rooted device and could use titanium backup.

Well then that's out of the question... Having no data plan, any Play Store installation is ruled out, could probably be done via PC Suite.
I've tried using Helium, doesn't do much good. I'm thinking about rooting the phone, but with my luck, i'll probably brick it.
I wonder if there's anyway to find my Google account pass...
L.E. according to devtester, LGD855 MyIMEI A6RRTN D85530C_00 (D85530C_00_0211) is the latest version for it, pretty much the same as my last update. So ,do i re.dld this one and flash it or i go with the D85530B_00_1217 from the Quick Download page ?
L.E.2 : So far i've tried both kdz files mentioned above, plus D85521C_00_1204.kdz (Lollipop). All unsuccesful. In Download Mode, using Flash Tool as is, selecting Normal than Start. The Marshmallows kdz show the exact same problems and Lollipop doesn't even want to install. It goes up tu 4% on Pc (0 on phone) and Retry appears until Exit.
Aw man, the truth MUST be out there...

Thanks for the link, but i managed to somehow solve the problem :good:

ok, so it took some time, but finally figured this bugger out.
For anyone that needs assistance in the future, let me know and i'll support you as much as i can.
It took me 2 crazy noobie a** days, and almost lost everything, but somehow i managed not to.
So, from the start, let me just say that Remember Password on FF was heaven for me.
Mainly, for not losing everything, you definetly NEED to know your Google account. For me it was setup before to back everything up, but somehow, i forgot the pass This is where i used my PC and logged in to G+ (again, thank God for pass remembering) and reset the pass by sms. Spot on !:victory:
Then connect your phone via usb and within PC Suite (Lg Bridge didn't work for me btw) drag & drop everything from Phone to PC. Apps, contacts, messages, all.
Next, the only sofware that actually worked in flashing my G3 was LGUP. Had some problems with it by not recognising my phone, but i found a version that worked.
Once that done, i removed the Sd Card, entered Download mode and tried flashing D85530B_00_1217.kdz (MM) by selecting Upgrade. That din't work. Same problems. Tried it again, but this time selecting Refurbish (wich wipes out everything) and voila ! Alive & kickin' !
Then it's just a matter of patience resetting your phone back. Enter the Google account with your freshly changed pass and the phone will basically ask you to restore itself back.
This was a long story short, but if anyone needs more detailed aspects, let me know.
The only thing i didn't figure out yet is why the Orange bloated kdz had Slow Mo option for camera and this standard one doesn't.
Thanks to everybody for their support and the community for hosting us !

LG G3 disabled by kill switch

Hello guys, i want to update my lg to 6 android, but i cant go to download mode. I just rooted my phone, with titaniumbackup i deleted mcafee program ir my phone. BUT, i cant go to download mode anyway What should i do ..? :/

More information needed.
- What model G3 do you have?
- What Android version is currently running on the phone?
- After successfully rooting, did you install a custom recovery? If so, which one?
- Why are you attempting to go into Download mode?
- What exactly happens when you attempt to go into Download mode? Does it reboot immediately or give you an error message?
- When first powering on the device, do any error messages appear above the LG logo? If so, what do they say?

I got D855, now running lollipop 5.0 android, after root, i didnt install custom recovery. I want to go to download mode to install marshmallow 6.0 android soft, when i go into download mode, it says disabled by kill switch, like mcafee is still running on my phone. No error messages.

After some searching I found a post in a thread that may be useful to you. In short, it looks like you have to contact McAfee. If you can prove you are the owner of the G3, they will provide a 6-digit pin to unlock the Kill Switch. It looks like from the thread that it can be done online on their website. I found no other option to unlock the Kill Switch.
I hope this helps. Good luck!

I know the pin code, but i dont know phone number, becouse i deleted mcafee. I dont know what to do next, how i need to disable it.

You only deleted the McAfee app, not the entire McAfee. Re-install the app from a backup and press the 3 dots in the upper right in the McAfee app. I read somehwere that you can find information you need in there. If that fails, just call em.

How can i do backup? Becouse i didnt done it before :/
