Lollipop on dev edition? - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How can we get the official lp on the dev edition phone? Actually i just check for software update on the phone and it says one is available. Can I take it or will it lock my phone up?

It will lock it, a rom will be made probably in a day or so. Just hang tight.

If you have a dev phone, then taking an OTA won't ever be a justifiable risk. You should only ever manually install new firmware(e.g. via odin), and then only after a reputable source has verified that the firmware is safe.

i doubt you can actually take it i have tried to download it and wont allow LOL

I can't pull the update from the wife's phone and can only download the 1st update on the DE. I'm not about to flash it and lock the bootloader for the 2nd part. I'm just going to wait for Keis and Odin and use the tar.

I couldnt download the first on my note. are you on a rom or rooted? And you still have to confirm install after download

I was contacted by a Note 4 DevEd owner today. He somehow took the LP OTA last night, and now his phone is retail!
We are working on his backup of aboot, hopefully his dilemma will have a happy ending. Fingers crossed
Help @ryanbg I don't think my aboot.mbn.md5 tar is correct. Working with a DE owner that has locked his BL

I'm running my ROM (Rick's ROM) and just pulled SDM.apk and pushed it to system/app and the software updater worked to download the 1st update. I deleted aboot from the file and tried flashing it but it wouldn't flash in TWRP or the Stock recovery. I'll post a link after I get it uploaded if anyone wants to play around with it. Whatever you do make sure aboot isn't in the file if you decide to try and flash it.

If you have the time go for it. I can wait but I see others who rather not. I'll flash it if you make it and I'll make a "official" one when the Odin file is out if you don't have time for it.

Great! It'll be two step patches:

So, you need to be on STOCK NJ5 (keeping your custom recovery).

Any news on part 2? I would really appreciate it if you could pull it and upload it.

It's kinda hard to wait seeing all of the people posting about their new Lollipop update. But I really think every N4DE owner needs to wait for the Odin tar upgrade. I wouldn't touch something from the retail upgrades. It's going to have to be specifically for my DE phone. I don't care if I'm the last person on Earth to get Lollipop.
One question. Will the Odin tar come from Samsung or will some developer compile it from source?

Sorry about that but here it is if you want to play around with it. @hsbadr and I are working on it but ran into a problem with the modem not flashing resulting in a update fail. Good progress has been maid but more work needs to be done. With that said have at it if you want.

[ROOT] for LG Optimus G Pro E98x + CWM + TWRP [s-off]

Note: This Root method is no longer supported, most models have been updated to newer software and does not work. If you want this to even have a chance at working, you must have the original software that shipped with the phone 3 years sgo.
This is a great root method with easy to follow instructions that anyone can follow and without all the extra jibber jabber most do not understand. The originator of this root is @giantpune, please give him a Big Thanks!!!
**This Root Method has been confirmed working on the models listed below**
E980 AT&T (Does not work on 10P 01/08/2014 update)
E985 Euro/SFR
E986 Euro/SFR
E988 HK
E988 GCC
E988 India
E988 Starhub Singapore
E989 UK
E989 Israel
1st: Go to http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-E980 and download the drivers, let it install all the way before going to the next step.
2nd: Go to 7-Zip and download the program, it is the best one imo.
3rd: Download the attached root file below
4th: Un-Zip the Root file using 7-Zip to a known location
5th: Make sure in Developer Options you enable USB Debugging in your phones settings
6th: Make sure your phone is in Charge Only mode
7th: Plug your phone into your computer and give it about 3 minutes before going to the next step to ensure your computer can see your device
8th: Open the file and run the CurrentRoot.bat
9th: When it prompts you to go to MTP mode, do so in the same place Charge Only was found. LET IT SIT, 3 MINUTES MINIMUM!!!!! This will insure that your computer has seen your phone as a MTP device, if you rush it, the root will fail!
10th: Now hit any key to continue
11th: Once it is completed and your phone reboots, safely remove hardware to remove your phone.
You can download many free root checker apps from the Play Store or use SuperUser that is included with the root.
If you need the original AT&T TOT file with the update attached please visit

Thanks @giantpune
side note: I am not responsible for your phone, the above process worked flawlessly on my LG Optimus G Pro US Version E980 on 7/12/2013.
How do I know if I have the "Value Pack Upgrade"? I got an OTA update from AT&T/LG a few days ago, which completed successfully but my Android version is still 4.1.2. Is there a baseband version or build number I can compare against to see if I have this "Value Pack Upgrade"?
That was the value pack upgrade sir ?
I followed these directions exactly and it worked perfectly! I installed Root Explorer and it was successfully given superuser privileges.
Note to others: on step 10, the phone will reboot and the error message you may see on your phone (that a process stopped unexpectedly) is normal. I waited until the phone fully rebooted and finished loading everything before disconnecting my phone.
Android version: 4.1.2
Baseband version: APQ8064/MDM9x15M
Kernel version: 3.4.0
Build number: JZO54K
Software version: E98010k
Awesome, I added a note about waiting for the phone to reboot. I did not see the message you got but I may have missed it looking at my daughter dance last night to Xbox.
Enjoy sir
Thank you for the above instructions. Zero issues.
Waiting the 3 minutes made all the difference.
This is the way to go to root! Thank you again!

I also stated that this was not my root from the beginning. The others posted within this thread did not work for me, this was flawless and also the original on this forum had instructions that were not basic enough and left out stuff for noobs.
I also never asked nor ever want donations, and if I post something, it is never ever ever about money.
Donate to the @giantpune if you please.

Well, the rooting police are after me..... lol
Tried to apply the update while my E980 was rooted. No go, got the 0x13e error. Research says that's probably because device is rooted.
So I unroot and try again a couple days later. Same error displays. Device restarts and a new error displays. Something like "Device is suspected of being rooted and rooted devices will not be updated".
So I'm hiding out until the heat is off.
In the meantime, any thoughts.

[Q] Root At&t 4.4.2 Update (I467 version)

I know there aren't a ton of us At&t Note 8 Variant users out there...but the few of us that are have received an update to Kit Kat finally...
So now, I'm starting this simple question thread: - HOW CAN WE ROOT?
Just to keep track of what is tried and what doesn't work for the new update version-until we have success!
Baseband version: I467UCUBNI2
So, what have you tried and what were the results? Has anyone succeeded?
I've tried: saferoot, towelroot, kingo - none have worked.
What have you tried?

Go ahead and send me the link.
Following a thread in the Galaxy S5 forums I was able to root an S5 with Towelroot by flashing a signed (important if you don't want to trip the KNOX flag) kernel from an older firmware release, do the root, and then re-flash the signed kernel for the 4.4.2 version. I can't guaranty it work on your device, and I have the GT-N5100, but if we can extract the signed kernel from your image the pieces should be available to try it.

NOTE 3 - ROOTED
Yea, I looked at it.
You can too by using 7zip to "open archive".
Here's the root directory of the 2400258.cfg file you linked:
{
"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"
}
There is no signed "boot.img" file that could be flashed with Odin or Heimdall. When I checked the updater script a patch method is used to updated the previous kernel:
Code:
ui_print("Patching boot image...");
apply_patch("EMMC:/dev/block/mmcblk0p9:5150976:8293cf49006c35a33647cba0f6153bc8320ae5de:6080784:eaee84c0a938f101931ca0b235cbbee112c26499",
"-", eaee84c0a938f101931ca0b235cbbee112c26499, 6080784,
8293cf49006c35a33647cba0f6153bc8320ae5de, package_extract_file("patch/boot.img.p"));
Without a complete 4.4.2 version of a signed boot.img file you wouldn't be able to return to the original kernel after rooting. I wouldn't recommend the method I mentioned previously until that's available.
ramjet73
Thanks for taking a look. Will search for the correct boot.img file. Nothing on sammobile yet

I'll leave that up to @godzulu since it's his IMG file but just want to make sure you know that you need to be 100% stock on the previous build to use that file to update to 4.4.2.

Thanks!
I just started looking for information on viable rooting methods for the i467 after the 4.4.2 update and am a little disapointed with the news i found on this post. I had hoped to find a ez method to remedy a few issues such as the ext SD storage problem.
Thanks to OP and all here working to fix the problem!! Off to research more & hopefully be able to bring something helpful back.
We waited for a LONG time to recieve ANY updates so hopefully we wont be waiting long to get root back.

Is there a way to install the bootloader from TWRP? I don't know when I'll be able to get my hands on a PC so I can't use Odin right now.
I've managed to get my hands on a PC so I can use ODIN now, but I do have a few questions:
1.) If I want or need to go back to a stock version will I need to replace the bootloader file that is being provided? If so where can I find the proper bootloader fIles?
2.) What are the correct steps to installing the new bootloader and ROM? I have TWRP installed and have made a full backup. Do I wipe everything first then shutdown or can I just boot into download mode from within TWRP then install the bootloader? After installing the bootloader do I reboot straight into recovery and then install the ROM? What options need to be selected in this version of ODIN?
3.) Out of curiosity where does the bootloader file that civato is providing come from? Is this something that was made especially for this modified ROM?
I'm sorry to ask all these noobie questions. I did search all over the place looking for answers, but most everything I found tended to be confusing and contradictory not to mention specific to other devices. I do appreciate any help that I can get. TIA
Nobody?
Bootloader is usually pulled from stock .tar file or any mod who made it for specific use, to go back to stock just flash stock .tar with odin it should overwrite existing bootloader as far as i know.

Can we get an updated version with newer base? BOF1 is the one with bluetooth keyboard doesnt work with. Thanks

I've managed to get my hands on a PC so I can use ODIN now, but I do have a few questions:
Out of curiosity where does the bootloader file that civato is providing come from? Is this something that was made especially for this modified ROM?

Bootloader is extracted from the original samsung firmware, you can only install a bootloader using Odin.

That is a kernel problem. Use a custom kernel.

I kinda figured that but seeing this is a stock untouched deodexed rom it would defeat the purpose for those who want to remain as stock as possible but have option to install xposed with deodexed stock rom.
Can someone give a link or version of xposed that works. I tried mutiple versions from arter thread but xposed app says version not compitable. Any help?

I don't think you need a custom kernel. I havent installed this rom yet but did you use the right xposed installer ? There is a link to it in arter's thread.

Hi
I'm on a p900 I was on an official 5.02 stock however, I rooted it and now got superuser working. Now do I still need to install the bootloader?. Plus if I want to get back to stock how would I remove the bootloader?

No, the bootloader warning was for people who are on Kitkat wanting to move to lollipop.
In your case to go back to unrooted you can either go into the supersu app and select full unroot or better yet connect the tablet to a pc running kies and do a full factory reset.

[D85120G] Stock ONLY update.zip from D85120E

Mainly posting this here for any devs that want it.
I have removed the check for stock recovery as well as added a build fingerprint check for TWRP to allow this update to take without Stock recovery.
This is the update.zip that T-Mobile pushed out starting today (10/05/15). If you are not on D85120E stock (might work with root, I have not checked) do not flash this as it should fail but it's your choice to risk it.

I would not attempt to flash this over any custom rom. With stock it is as simple as flashing in twrp. However as I said I did not test with root on 20e
Root 20G?

How did you test it than. Coming from 20e without root? How does one flash it without root.... I'm guessing this is a dumb question however

So, how long should it take to boot after flashing this? My phone is stuck on the white T-Mobile boot screen. I think its been sitting there for at least 15 minutes.
EDIT: I gave up waiting. I reflashed the stock rom over this and now I'm waiting though the optimizing process. Why didn't I make a backup first??
EDIT2: I redownloaded it, made a backup and tried to flash it again. This time we're good. Optimizing apps as we speak.
Does anybody know if this fixes the "Settings has stopped" error when going to the tethering menu in Settings?
So I need some clarification please and have a couple of questions. I have Tmo G3 (D851) running stock 20e, but it is rooted. I also have TWRP. Can I just flash this update.zip using TWRP and all will be fine or not? I of course will do a full backup before I start, but wonder about data. Has anyone learned whether this works on rooted devices yet? I think I am already Stagefright protected because I run Textra for SMS and MMS (I do NOT run stock messaging), but should I upgrade to this? I look forward to some expert opinions. Thanks to all.

I had unrooted (through supersu script) in order to setup Android pay. I would recommend you do the same, simply because this has the root script at the end of it anyhow...
So, unroot (setup Android Pay if you care to), flash, reroot...move on with life :good:

Did all your data stay intact? After the update I assume you wiped cache and Dalvik? Thanks for your answers.

No wipes necessary ('dirty flash'). Data stays intact. It will optimize all your apps on initial boot though.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I will do a full TWRP backup and move forward. Thanks again
Running rooted stock 5.0.1 20E. I've disabled supersu and booted back into TWRP to flash and I'm getting this error when I try to flash the zip:
"Package expects build fingerprint of lge/g3_tmo_us/g3:5.0.1/LRX21Y/151451134d07b:user/release-keys or lge/g3_tmo_us/g3:5.0.1/LRX21Y/15227151285fc:user/release-keys; this device has LG/omni-d851/d851:4.4.4/KTU84P/2:eng/test-keys."
Not familiar enough with the file system to know exactly what that is, but I'm guessing some file on my device is reporting I'm still on 4.4.4? Could that be a kernel issue? I did at one point have a custom kernel, but I went back to stock after that and re-rooted? Just hoping to avoid a full wipe and redo...

LG V35 - LGUP - Error: 0x7004, AB Update Boot Change Fail / Stuck In Firmware Update

So this happened, and I have no idea what to do.
Google search on this specific error shows nothing, like I am the first to have it or something.
Could it be that is because my phone is encrypted?
Also sorry if I have posted this in the wrong sub forum
Cant't seem to find the delete option.
- V350ULM20d_00_NAO_US_OP_0612.kdz
- Patched / Moded V35 LGUP
- Upgrade Option
- ATT Unlocked Model Running Android 8.0
( Not sure what KDZ I was on, I should have checked before hand )
Any help would be appreciated

I have only done the "Upgrade" Option, nothing else, trying to dump anything gives me "0x2000 Write Protected lun" Error, could be because of the encryption.
I have just tried doing Partition DL on "boot_ a/b" and "sid_a/b"
Followed by the upgrade option, result is the same, the last thing it seems to try flashing is "sid_a" then it gives me the 7004 error
I have accidentally flashed/partition DL on user files.
I am guessing that wiped everything on there didn't it :|

Well there goes my whatsapp history, I really should stop messing with it when I am tired late at night after coming back from a long trip.
I have tried multiple different ones,
The one from https://www.lanzous.com/i3y5ocd does not seem to work for me, it gives me an invalid mismatched DLL type of error
The one I am using I can't remember where I got it but will post once I get a chance to look it up again
Would doing the refurbished option be any good?

In the LGUP zip file there is an LGUPD and an LGUPE exe. Correct? Which of those two did you use? Also I think refurbish would be the best option. At this point.
---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------
The upgrade option wouldn't work because of the firmware incompatibilities. You could only use upgrade going from same firmware family. Like Google Fi 8.0 to Google Fi 9.0. or Amazon 8.0---> 9.0 etc.
