How to re-install - LG Optimus G (International)

Hey Guy/Gals,
I'm very new to this so bare with me.
I have an LG Optimus E971 from Rogers here in Canada. On the home screen the dock icons are unresponsive. However inside an app at the bottom of the screen the icons work. So I assume this is a software issue and wish to reinstall or re-inject the firmware into the phone. I'm looking a step by step how to on doing this, current version of is 4.1.2.
EXAMPLE:
-Dock icons (icons at very bottom of screen itself) are unresponsive.
-Landscape view works, as the icons move to the side of the screen
-Open app, Instagram, all buttons at bottom work (feed, explore, camera, news, profile).

Nothing? Just ads, huh

If you are not rooted and your bootlader is locked the best way to fix things in my opinion is to hard reset your device(to delete everything from inside that may couse the problem)install lg pc suite from lg and reinstall the phones firmware,this tool has an option to do this l've done it before. If you are rooted and your bootloader is unlocled just flash kdz and do a hard reset after.

Hey thanks for the response. I have done the factory reset and the phone is back to oem spec.

Are you certain you're able to reinstall the firmware? All I see is that I can Backup/Restore and Update Firmware.
There's no where that says I can re-install the firmware. When I google it only picks up on firmware updates

Yes I am sure I did it my pc is down and I can't tell you exactly where is the option but I can tell you what I remember it's in the upper right corner next to help option or the other one probably and I think it says something about troubleshooting

If you still can't find it maybe you should update the program to the latest version

uhhh Thanks!!!!!
problem, that can't pull down notification bar, reading a lot of docs today and still nothing, than I'm thinking that t.screen has failure
Now I'm looking for new RUU for flashing but where is new RUU?.... or maybe only OTA, really don't know now what;'s going on...
Tried to update via cwm OTA , but cid -fail? with cid is for superCID ?, I'm so tired today...alredy
someone else can do it? pls
I have no problems with pulling my notification area down... even in fullscreen apps like the Draw Test I can pull my notification down (I use SmartStatusbar to pull notification in fullscreen apps).
Unfortunately RUU is not leaked, and an OTA is not a ROM, just an update to a specific ROM.
mike1986. has a flashable version of the international (4.18.401.2) ROM, that could get you as close to stock as possible.

You cannot, once a device is unlocked it can only be "relocked", you can never get it back in "locked" state. You were warned explicitly when you first unlocked your phone.
Hi
Seller of my phone said me, taht problem was with firmware, when I said to him that was via OTA, he said we dont know, but it only works with 4.1.1- it is possible?
pls for Answer, thanks

Sprint S3 stock without root will not take OTA

So, I was approached by someone asking me to take a stab at repairing their phone. They have a Sprint SGS3, and the owner is, well, less than versed in reading through XDA and determining exactly what steps they've taken to modify their phone.
Suffice it to say, I have a bit of a diagnostic challenge on my hands.
Their story is that they rooted and installed a custom ROM on their phone, and has apparently spent the last week or so fighting with their device to return to stock. I've been told that the ROM is stock, and the recovery is also stock. They apparently want to return to stock and take the KitKat OTA, and have nothing to do with rooting. Though, House says, "everybody lies". I'm assuming there's something else I should be looking at to check whether or not they're deliberately omitting a step they took, or perhaps something they didn't realize/forgot they did.
I have yet to get the device in my hands, but when I do, what should I be looking for, exactly? I haven't modified many Samsung phones in the past, mostly just HTC devices, so I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Poking around the forum, I see some mentions of a Flash Counter and ODIN and some other utilities, but I'm not sure what I should really be using to try to fix the phone. I'd also like to maintain the ability to root their ROM in the future if possible, just in case the owner goes back on their root-bashing.
Thanks for reading! If you guys ever need a hand with an HTC device, I'd be more than glad to give you a hand there. :laugh:
If they're on a stock ROM, you could hook it up to Samsung Kies and do a "firmware upgrade and initialization" under the Tools menu. That should restore a completely wiped stock ROM w/ stock recovery, as well.

The bootloader will still read at modified status, and if your acquaintance's phone has Knox on it, I wouldn't try the flash counter reset.

v10g eur, thanks I will try that! I really don't want to go lollipop I've only heard complaints about it, killing batteries etc
quite the opposite for me; I had a 9000 mah zero lemon battery on my g3 in KK days, now on LP I use the normal battery because battery life is good enough. create a nandroid, move it to your external sd card, clean upgrade to LP with LG flash tool 2014. if you don't like it, just restore to the backup and it's like nothing changed
up.
anyone encountered this?
OP, report back what you have tried

[Q] Re-mapping of soft keys

Hi all
I'm going to buy the Asus zenfone 2 551ml and i have just a little problem.
I have seen how soft buttons are placed on the smartphone and i think that the back button could be too far to reach with one hand. i know that there is the one hand mode but regrdless this, i wanna ask 2 main things:
1) Performing the root on the smartphone i will loose the warranty?
2)with the root and by means the usage of an 3rd part app or xposed frameworkd, is possible perform a re-mapping of these buttons?
Thanks to all
Best regards
Root usually means you lose warranty. App ops does work with root. You can already customize switch apps button a bit.

There isn't a custom recovery yet for this phone, but root should allow you to unroot which may restore your warranty. The warranty is only for the original country. If you buy a TW version and you live outside Taiwan you don't have a warranty.
Also the phone has one handed mode that give you on screen buttons. You can customize the size. Some games don't work, but stock apps do. See attachment.

I have a question regarding pre-root. Say I flash the pre-root rom using adb since there is no custom recovery, if I want to go back to stock, I just unroot thru the superSU or which ever root app? Or Can I also flash the stock rom downloaded from Asus to convert it to stock?

Moto display ''breathing'' solution

Hello,
It's been a long time that I'm trying to find a solution with the notification issue that we all moto users have. I tried third party applications such as noLED, dynamic notifications, notifications manager, acDisplay etc but nothing gave me back the satisfaction of the simplicity of moto display that were breathing. As everyone knows Motorola - Lenovo decided to completely remove the option of breathing/pulsing the notification screen which means that there is no way to be informed except for waving the hand over the screen.
The funniest part of the whole story is that while you open the moto display app, you find a guide inside which in the first says to you '' Battery friendly notifications fade in and out so you 're always in the know''. It might be a good idea to inform motorola somehow to make a decision because she feels significantly confused about that.
So, trying to find a solution, I'm asking if there is any one of you who find a way to make the notifications ''be repeated''. The other two things that I thought is to find an old version of moto display that had the breathing mode enabled or to modify the script of the updated version.
I wish not to be alone to that golgotha!
Thank you

EDIT: Looking for root testers. The .apk file is in post #3.
I need some root testers for a modified MotoDisplay.apk version by me.
I edited the code of the apk and I made a try to enable the ''breathing'' option in the main menu of Moto>Display> ''new tool''.
This is my first trial MotoDisplay.apk. I hope to have appeared a new setting in Moto Display settings where you can enable the breathing mode. It is based on the Moto_Display_06.071.4_.apk update.
Need some root testers to install the app. (rename the MotoDisplay_tsoump_trial_1.apk to MotoDisplay.apk and replace it to system/priv-app/MotoDisplay/ )
I have tried so much to find a way to install a system .apk without root, but I couldn't. This is why I'm looking for root testers.
I'm looking forward to respondig me!
Thanks in advance!

My problem is the warranty. I don't want to void it because someday I will face up the common problem with the battery drain.
Did anybody try the new .apk?
