[Q] G2 stuck in an installation loop that started while updating to KitKat topic

I am stuck in an installation loop that started while updating to KitKat.

I was happy with my LG G2 (T-mobile, D801G), but wanted to use root apps. So, I rooted and installed TWRP, but did not flash a custom rom.

Tuesday when I woke up there was a message saying I could download KitKat. After installing my last system update I lost root, so just had to unroot and re-root – took me about 15 minutes. So, I decided to go ahead and install KitKat.

It downloaded and began to install, but got stuck in a loop. The LG logo flashes for 5 seconds, the little droid pops up with his stomach spinning and the message “Installing system updates” but shows for only about ½-second. Then the screen goes black for 2 seconds and it starts again.

I can get it into the factory reset screen, but when I say yes-yes, it puts up the message :
Error: Boot certification verify
341120

341170
341220 Secure booting error!
341270 Cause: boot certification verify
341320
341370


Then it sits in a black, but not quite off screen until I hold down the power button to turn it off. When I turn it back on, it shows the logo, then the droid showing the message ‘Erasing…’ for a full second, then switches to the ½-second ‘installing system updates’ loop.
It will go into download mode. When I connect it to the LG flash tool ‘Up Test’ it says all firmware is up-to-date.

I tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2582142 but I couldn’t get Ubuntu 12.04 to install gdisk. Then I noticed that
ls /dev/sd*
returned the same values whether my phone was plugged in in download mode or unplugged completely. The values were
/dev/sda, /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, /dev/sda3, /dev/sda4.

I tried the next step anyway
gdisk -l /dev/sdb
and got the error saying gdisk was not found, but I could install it with… etc. I tried to install it, but it wouldn’t work.

This is the second phone I’ve rooted – I had my HTC Sensation rooted for years, and flashed many ROMs. I hadn’t played much with the G2 because I liked it just the way it was – but had to have some rooted apps. I also have an HP Touchpad running Cyanogenmod. My experience with Linux is limited. So I’m just one step up from a noob.

Any advice would be appreciated! I bought a go phone so that I can take my time and fix my G2 right. :-/

updating software topic

I have standard software on my htc one which i love but i have rooted my phone and am running TWRM as well, my phone says an update is available but when i try to update it the phone just boots back into recovery and wont install the update, i want to download and install the update but i dont want to loose all my apps, settings or root access as with the root access i have managed to uninstall all the stock apps that are not needed for me personally, which has freed up the phone dramatically thus making it faster.

So i'm asking all you guys on here how would i go about getting the new software update that my phone wants me to install and still keep just the apps that i'm running without all the stock apps coming back on and still keeping root......is this possible???

[Q] Charging issues after updating KOT49H Rom topic

So I flashed [ROM]KOT49H【4.4.2】Google Play Edition 03-24-2014 by Danvdh, Kryten2k35 & Ktoonsez today and did everything as usual.
But when trying to charge my phone later on it did not charge. Tried different chargers, different wall plugs, nothing. But when I turned of my device it started charging.
So I did a fresh install, same problem. I flashed it again after clearing all user data and all cache and still no charge while the device is on. So what I did was downgrading to the last update from 03.04 but the problem persist.
I have no idea what to do. The phone won't charge unless it's off and I have no idea why.

Is there anyone with the same problem or has any idea what I could do?

Today I reset it to factory default with the 8 times restart interruption method.

Any suggestions?

Problems on I9300 after updating to CM SNAPSHOT M4 topic

Hey guys,

I have been having problems with some CyanogenMod roms lately. My I9300 was working perfectly using one of the nightly CM 11 ROM's released in early March, until I installed the latest M Snapshot. From there on in my phone has gone insane.

From time to time, during the day the phone gets blocked without any apparent reason. My first thought was that has something to do with the RAM, maybe its getting low somehow, but no, that wasn't the case. Most of the time I have at least 160-180 free ram, usually more than that.

Anyway, then I thought maybe the problem was the installed ROM, so I did a re-install but still,with no effect. Then I downloaded 17th of march nightly ROM, wiped clean the cache and reset the phone. Still with no effect.

My next solution is: Download the newest nightly, currently 18th of March, install the latest Clockworkmod Recovery, which is 6.0.4.6., reset and wipe the phone again (backing of course) and install the latest ROM. What do you guys think?

Also, does anyone else has this problem after installing the latest M-Snapshot from the CM download page.

I would much appreciate your help. Thanks a lot.

[Q] updating default apps topic

hey all, i have a query, last week i ran an RUU 1.29.707.4 on my phone and it installed some default apps on my phone like 7Digital , now i understand that these default apps are necessary for applying OTA updates as OTA checks md5 sum of these default apps. but today, i checked PlayStore and there was an update available for the 7Digital app so i went ahead and updated it. My question is this : can this updated 7Digital app affect OTAs by failing the md5 checksum or does the md5 remain the same even after updating the app? i just updated the app via playstore, didnt rename, remove or move it. Thanks in advance :)

Updating and ported apps topic

What would happen if an update contains an app that I side loaded? For example, if the update to the Z1 contains the close all app program, and I've side loaded it, will the update fail? I've side loaded the close all app program as well as the Z2 live wallpaperb

[Q] Updating Xperia Z and what needs to be done? topic

Hi everyone..

I'm writing this post after being offline from XDA for quite a long while, so keep it cool when answering since my knowledge of what I'm talking about is very limited by now. I have an Xperia Z with eXistenZ 5.0 installed, Build number 10.4.B.0.569, which is a JB Rom and I'd like to try out some new roms, firmwares, recoveries and so on..

First of, I have unlocked my bootloader a very long time ago and I haven't gone back to Stock since then and I am not planning to do so. However to start updating my Xperia what should be done? I have already backed up my current rom with Titanium Backup.

For some reason I can't access recovery mode when powering on and pressing volume down, but I know for a fact that it's pretty easy to install a recovery again.

It would be very much appreciated if you would explain what should be done and why.

Looking forward to hearing from you..!

[Q] Updating i9505 from rooted 4.3 to stock 4.4.2 topic

Well, i'm new in this android/root stuff, but to have something to begin with:

I tried rooting my device(i9505) in 4.3(using that "knox-untouching" way) and, it not only didn't worked (can't use SuperSU), it also installed a custom recovery on my device (triggering everything i could) and know i can't OTA.

So I was thinking, can I just download the OTA and install it over ODIN, then wipe data? Or i have to download 4.3, flash it over, wipe, and than install 4.4.2? (For the record, i can't find my 4.3 ZTO version. Even in sam mobile)

Will i loose root after updating? topic

I'm on a stock rom that's been pre-rooted snd flashed with Odin. I have no custom recovery. Now I've just got a pop up saying that the new firmware is ready for download and installation. Will I loose root after this update? Or should I just look for a pre-rooted version of the new firmware and install that one instead?

[Q] Updating SuperUser Binary topic

Hey Guys!

Before creating this thread, I've gone through the related posts of 'Updating SU Binary' but did not find the suitable response. So I'm asking about that Whenever I tried to update the binary over internet, it "Failed" at 'Gaining Root Access' :( But I'm quite sure that my Explorer has been rooted.
Please tell me how to update it and what are the advantages of updating binary?
I've 'Root Explorer' installed in my device.

Updating HBoot topic

Hi, I'm trying to update my HBoot to 2.13 or 2.15 so I can install the nightly CM11 builds. However, I'm not certain on the steps, so am hoping someone can clear things up for me. :)

This is the guide I've been looking at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2501542

At the top he says to find the correct RUU, then links to RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_Radio_1. 11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301814_signed_2_4 .exe for HTC Europe.

Am I able to just use that one? My original RUU is RUU_Ville_U_O2_UK_1.78.206.4_Radio_0.16.31501S.17_ 2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258707_signed.exe, but I can't find a JB version of that.

Looking on http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Ville, I can't see any RUUs for JB with Radio_0.16.315.


I don't want to download and try and use the wrong thing, so could someone just confirm whether I can/can't use the HTC Europe RUU, and if not, if there's anyway I can update the HBoot to run CM11?

Thank you.

SMS broken after updating to stock KK (D800) topic

I don't know if I'm the only one, but after updating to the stock KK ROM (AndroidUser00110001 rooted), the phone loses the capability of sending-receiving SMS. No matter what app I use won't work, and all I get is the "Unfortunately, (App X) has stopped" error. I have to go back to Jelly Bean to get the SMS working again.

My D800 is unlocked, working in another carrier (Movistar)

Anybody else with the same problem?

[Q] Stuck at boot when updating to KK topic

Hello everyone, this is my first post and pretty much a cry for help.

So I'm not new to the whole rooting scene, as I did many things on my old S3, but I'm having a bit of trouble with my note 3.

I had rooted my device about a week after I got it to remove some bloatware. Flashed some ROMs to try out but ended up back on stock firmware which removed root but didn't really care. Tried to update yesterday and got the whole "you're device has been modified" thing. So I rooted again and downloaded xposed installer and that app to fake system to not get that message. Everything seemed fine, got the update and started downloading. Once it finished downloading and tried updating, I got a failed to update message then back to home screen. Went on some forums and read Kies was working for people who had rooted phones. Tested that out and started working. Download went fine, it started updating, all was good. Said update was complete and it was restarting..... Let the fun begin.

About 10 minutes later (I waited this long because I've flashed plenty of ROMs and I know the initial boot can take forever) and it was stuck at Samsung boot logo. On the top left there was a blue message saying "Recovery Rebooting." I restarted again, same thing. Did a battery pull waited a few minutes and still nothing. Wouldn't go into recovery mode, but it did go into download mode. Assumed something was wrong with the recovery so I flashed a custom one. Finally was able to go into recovery so I did factory reset/cache and rebooted. Phone was still stuck at boot logo but this time no blue message. I then found the 4.4.2 KK md5 file online so I flashed that through Odin but same story. Ended up flashing back to stock 4.3 and that's where I'm at now.

Any ideas? Am I stuck without KK forever? The only thing I think there's left to do is go completely stock by removing the Knox counter or whatever that's currently set to 0x1 on my phone. Doing the whole "Triangle away" thing but idk if that'll make a difference.

Sorry for the really long post but I'd prefer to explain everything I've tried so far.
