WOW - this is NOT the tweet I wanted to read...

Kmobs just tweeted this: "So.... looks like I don't have a mytouch 4g anymore... ups says delivered... and there is nothing at my door. Fml"
No - I wish I could say I'm joking - but I'm not...
I wonder what the impact on us getting CM is going to be...

Kmobs already had a MT4G, so i am not really sure what UPS was delivering

He just posted an update, "Guys the mytouch I have now I bought full price and am going to remorse. Got it early to work on for you. the other was cheap and is gone."

Yeah, I'm a bit confused as well.

I bought a full price mytouch to work on (and then remorse) as my cheap one came from my friend. The cheap one was supposed to be delivered today but nothing came to my door. I have to return the mytouch I currently have in my possession to T-Mobile.
I'm going to contact UPS tomorrow.

I'd be willing to make a donation to help replace it - I don't have a lot but if it would help?

Thank you for the offer, but I really don't want to accept money. I plan on moving on when the Nexus S comes out so I do not feel it would be fair.

Looks like I'll be sending this phone back tomorrow. Seems this phone is not gonna get to much love from the devs.

This is exactly the kind of crap that's bringing these forums down. A handful of devs make stuff for a phone, and thousands of people follow. Nobody is willing to do anything for themselves anymore. So you're going to return your phone(which is a fantastic phone by the way), because somebody isn't going to make themes and there won't be a bajillion different roms available?
I first started with xda back in the day when I had my t-mobile SDA. I got ahold of an mda with a then unreleased WM6 rom from a microsoft mvp and I uploaded it to xda. I made a few windows mobile roms for myself and shared them in the forums. And I modified some apk's in the nexus one forums. I don't just 'know' how to do this stuff. I learned it because I wanted to. I didn't wait for somebody to give me what I want. I did it for myself, and then I shared.
This is how it used to be at xda. Now it's just 'gimme gimme gimme'.

Know what's funny? The fact you're pissed because I made a decision for myself! I don't have the time to learn how to do all of this or else maybe I would attempt to contribute.

It's not even that for me, it's more that daunting feeling that something newer and better will come out shortly and I might regret not having waited. I'm not saying the Nexus S will be better, but it's intriguing enough that part of me thinks I should at least give it a try. No harm in comparing right? That's how I decided between the G2 and MT4G and boy am I glad I didn't settle for the G2. I realize how unsustainable and dissatisfying this attitude is since there will always be something "bigger and better" right around the corner, just can't help it

I'm not at all pissed. I'm sad. I'm sad that a forum that was once full of people willing to contribute is now full of people that are 'too busy'. Last week, I worked just under 50 hours, painted my kitchen, replaced the counter-tops, installed a new sink, faucet, and garbage disposal, painted the cabinets, pulled the motor from my motorcycle, cleaned the gutters, raked and mowed my lawn(last time for the season), picked up my 3 girls every day(like I do every day), made dinner every night(wife doesn't get home til after 6)....and guess what? I STILL found time to pull apart rosie.apk and started modifying xml's because people are getting excited now that the mytouch is rooted and I wanted to contribute.
You are NOT too busy. I can assure you of that.

Well, for me, I'm gonna tough it out...

Ya I hear you there. I get like that sometimes. But mainly because I just like gadgets. I bought the nexus one while I was watching their press release. I pressed the refresh button in my browser until the order page went live.
I too got the g2 when it came out, while it was a great device, I found that I didn't need the keyboard, and the added thickness that comes with it. So I traded it in for the mytouch.
The problem with these devices is that they're not THAT different from each other. They all have this or that little feature, but it's all the same underlying hardware. 1ghz cpu, bunch of ram, hd recording...blah blah blah. It gets old after a while. If my company didn't take over my phone contract and pay for my upgrade, I would have gladly kept my nexus one. To this day, it's still my favorite phone. It's just so damn solid.
The mytouch is similar in form, but without all the metal of the nexus, it's just not the same. Anyways, I forgot the point I was trying to make, but we have to tell my girls this all the time "you get what you get, and you don't get upset". You picked that device for a reason, now ride that ***** 'til the wheels fall off!

just my 2 cents i personally feel if cyanogen isnt handling the rom for the phone it never seems to get done the right way look at the vibrant i still think devs will make roms for it no disrespect to anyone..

I'm thinking of starting to mod this device, just not sure where to start looking for information. I've never messed with it much before, it's been years since I've done any programming and I've pretty much forgotten everything. But, I'm always willing to learn new things

Kmobs had a working CM6 besides camera and a couple of other features on his MT4G... it should all get sorted out and we will get CM6. Instead of complaining and resorting to another phone because it was out earlier and has CM6 already... Why not actually contribute by helping trying to work and mod the phone you picked and for that reason.

Returning a phone because one dev hasn't done anything with it yet in the barely-two weeks its been out? Seems a little extreme, lol

wow Tmobile

Ok i just got off chat with Tmobile and wow they just dont know anything. basicly i was told that the reason for the reboots and all the other issues was due to low memory and was told to clear all things on my phone daily and close all apps out of memory.
Also they no of this known issue but cant help with it other than telling me there is the new software to come out and fix it all and then well no telling when the update is to come out.
sorry bout this pointless thread lol was bored and felt like bothering tmobile.
Heres the transcript:
hello, i want to know what i am to do about my g2x having overheat problems and reboots freezes
rep: Hi joseph , welcome to T-Mobile live Chat. I’m _Kelly and I will be happy to assist you. Please give me a moment to review your question.
me: hello
rep: Hi!
rep: I understand your concern with the issue and will do what I can to get this resolved for you today. Please allow me 2-3 minutes to research this issue for you.
me: ok thank you
rep: Thank you for your patience.
me: no problem. i have been very much so with the g2x
rep: What are you doing when the phone reboots itself?
me: either in a call checking email and also will reboot when it is just sitting there
rep: Okay, I do see that this is a known issue with the device, however I would like to find the root cause of the issue. This will take just a few minutes.
me: ok i have done so many factory resets to no help, if that helps
rep: I see here that it is a glitch in the software and they are developing new software to resolve the issue.
me: ok how long will it be to get the new software
rep: There is no exact date for that however we still have to troubleshoot for the overheating and that may result in an exchange if we cannot resolve the issue.
me: well i have had it swaped once for overheating and i now believe it is the battary
me: ok i'm sorry to push on this issue but why is it that there is no estimate on the new software for the g2x
me: this is a big issue that alot of people have been having since its release and i have gone through so many also
rep: Unfortunately that is in the hands of the manufacturer. We have no control over the updates for the software.
rep: I can tell you however that it would be beneficial to keep the memory in the phone with alot of space, because that has alot to do with it.
Me: i understand that but i would think tmoblie would be on a push to get lg to fix this
rep: It would be better to turn the phone off for just a couple minutes a day and clear all your messages, call logs, and caches.
me: hmmm thats intersting
me: yes i do that daily already
rep: Great!
me: ok well you have a great day and hope my g2x dont blow up lol
lol after my last commet she disconected the chat.
guess my phone can blow up.

I thought we already knew reps are clueless, no?

yes we do, like i said i was bored and needed something to do. pointless thread and buged tmoble. atleast this is not a sensation thread

They're retards

You must have allot of timr in your hands.....

[Q] mytouch 4g......

Hi all. I'm jumping over to this forum due to the fact my vibrant finally died on me : ( So I picked up the new mytouch, which brings me to the question....can I root and apply custom roms using the same methods as the slide...? I haven't seen anywhere about mods for this Ph I'm assuming cause its new. the new mytouch has potential and I definitely need to get rid of this horrible bloatware. Thanks in advance for any help.

you mean the htc glacier? despite the looks it's a totally different phone and you should head over to its specific forum...
or perhaps you meant the mytouch by lg... then you are out of luck afaik

Anyway, so the phone is the T-MOBILE MYTOUCH 4G (WHITE) by LG.
This is the closest forum I could find...so mods/staff, PLEASE don't ban me or fine me for the questions here...
I see the above posts about rooting.
Well first I want to UNLOCK my phone so I can take it to Europe...blah blah blah. I realise that I will have to pay some stupid 10+$ fee to get the unlock code...I have til Tuesday to endlessly google on a way to do it free...before my phone arrives.
Ok, I don't know what a ROM is or what ROOTING does for me...but I assume it's good...can someone PLEASE HELP ME...and is rooting this mytouch 4g white phone by LG a good idea?
Thanks so much in advance!

i'd suggest you don't mess with stuff you don't need/don't know... there's a lot of technical stuff to know and you not knowing basically anything but wanting to unlock root and flash is the perfect recipe for some regrettable actions.
just get an unlock code for about 10 bucks and you're all set...

Thank you & I respect where you are coming from. I know I don't know anything about the Android world...I certainly didn't want an iPHONE as I don't like anything Apple...I'm a PC guy. I like to know what's going on when I'm working on a computer..NOT have it done for me Love the learning curve.
To further explain...I am assuming by rooting the phone I can upgrade the OS to the 4.0 Android system?...is that possible? From what I understand I'd only have the 2.2 that's already given...it's 2 point something IF I recall correctly.
IDEALLY, I'd have loved to have had a WebOS phone...but alas, HP farked it up and discontinued their products this past year...ah well.
So yes, still interested in rooting my phone to customise things
ALSO, since I'm getting this phone...I've read in many parts how people replace panels on the phone so they don't see the T-Mobile (for example) logo on the phone...etc etc...what do you folks suggest? What would be the best protection device for this phone? (I just found out a little while ago that UPS is delivering it 1 day early! Sometime today...so I should have it in my hands tonight when I get home from work...) I'm so excited!!

If you're looking for some high-performance ROMs, head over to RootzWiki and check out Undeadk9's work.
Sent via smoke signal.

As I come through the slyph for a quick breath of fresh air...I must report that I just finished reading the 25page manifest that you asked me to read/download...thanks for that. Was a good read.
NOW you mention ROM's...it was briefly touched upon in the PDF file...do I understand this to mean I need to use a ROM to customise the operating system?
Ok...let's do this step-by-step if you can bear with me PLEASE.
At some point I'm supposed to be getting my phone TODAY...it hasn't arrived yet, even though UPS says online that they did. After a few frustrating calls, it turns out the "loaner" driver cheated the system by saying he delivered it when he never did...
AFTER I get my phone, of course I need to get acclimated to it. Should I assume that I must UNLOCK it first by paying some 10$ fee online?...and THEN going on to ROOT the phone?
I just checked, and it turns out my phone is shipping with 2.2...these days I hear Ice Cream is the new flavour (4.0)...which is what I'd like it to get upgraded to..and from there start getting apps that I know I'll use...like an RSS feed app to find out WHEN something is available on the net...(as an example).
Look forward to hearing from you sir! Thanks again for being kind enough to respond and putting up with this n00b

Alright now I would love to help you out sir.
Let us clarify that you are purchasing the mytouch 4G by LG, not the htc mytouch 4g slide. And not the htc mytouch 4g.
I do not believe there is a very extensive development happening for the lg phone because it is a new copycat of the original mt4g. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
While the specs are rather similar, the internal workings of the phone, firmware, kernel, roms... Are most likely written completely differently.
Do not expect to be able to use anything you find in these forums. Nor the mytouch 4g (glacier) forums.
Sorry I believe you don't have a choice but to pay for the unlock code they provide. I'm not even sure you will be able to root that phone without directions made directly for that phone. Nothing in the mt4gs forums will be compatible.
You've got a chance in the glacier forums but I recommend asking around before you start messing with your lg phone, or risk bricking the phone.
Even if you are getting the lg 4g slider, its not even using the 1.2 ghz dual core processor. The specs are still closer to the mt4g either way, not the mt4gs
Edit: sadly I do not expect your phone to get an ota update for android 4.0, for a very long time if ever. Hopefully you get some luck and a community of people with your device have accumulated somewhere so that some development starts happening for you to try out newer versions of android... But when that does happen, odds are that the roms for your phone will be unstable because of the small community inevitably not having enough developers. I recommend always using the stock rom, if you want to enjoy top of the line technology, get the mt4gs, or maybe a better phone that will definitely get an official cyanogen mod 9, or is sold stock with android 4.0.
All that being said. Your purchase was not bad, spec wise. But if you are looking for aftermarket technology to make the phone 5x better, trade for a different phone.
The beauty of having an android phone is that it is open source. With aftermarket roms, you can push any phone to its limits and get the most out of what you paid for.

^ thank you for that. I'm not much into the (no offence) "geeky" side of all these ROMs and CUSTOMISATIONS...don't get me wrong...I'd love to get the most of this. I bought this phone, because it was cheap...that's the ONLY reason. I did NOT see a reason to pay hundreds upon hundreds for the current top-of-the-line phone. Just wanted a decent phone that did nice things for free or very close to it. I had been holding off for a very long time on getting a smartphone...this is my INTRO to your world. I signed a 2-year contract extension with T-Mobile.
IN the meantime, I shall be monitoring these pages and hopefully MOST of you beautiful geeks will scream "this phone is a must-have"...and THEN I'll shell out the bucks for a phone I could easily replace with what I have now.
I feel I want to spend money on a phone that will actually be GREAT for 2 years...ideally, that's when I feel personally I should upgrade to the next latest & greatest.
Yes this is the mytouch by LG...NOT the slide. It's got a black face, white back...3 "home" buttons on bottom.
MY misdelivered phone from yesterday thanks to a stupid UPS Driver, found its way into my hands this morning @ 6am while getting in my car...a great neighbour of mine knew when I left the house and walked my missing package over. So today of course I need to get jiggy with my phone and see how everything works, before I even think of UNLOCKING the phone
I shall keep you apprised and thanks again for the above information...it was VERY helpful...some of your words of course are "foreign" to me, so I'll keep asking these very "dumb" questions...i hope you all can put up with it for a bit. Til this evening after I finish my work -day...ciao.

^upon purchasing this phone I was almost as clueless as you. But the reason I chose mt4gs is that it is futureproof. 1.2 dual core processor will run android 4.0 beautifully.
Since I purchased the phone I've been on these forums checking up on things atleast once a day if not 5x a day just so I'm up to date on things. It kind of gets addicting when everyone is trying to contribute their 2 cents to make the phone the best that it could be

Help: Bricked phone - need someone in Australia

Hi guys,
I've bought my HTC One XL directly from Australia, through Telstra. But now I live in Brazil
Well, I bricked my phone pretty hard. I even bothered reading all the topics about my stituation to see if there was any available solution. Turns out there isn't.
Well, at least through the community. From what I gathered, HTC is able to refurbish it and send it back - or at least exchange for another one.
The problem is, since this device is not sold in Brazil, HTC-Brazil simply don't do any kind of repair on it. So, my only hope lives in a good australian soul accepting to receive my phone and do me this big favour of checking if HTC-Australia would help me - even if I have to pay some technical fee.
I know this forum is not exacly for something like this, but I'm out of ideas. And since my investment was pretty big and I can't afford another one right now, I'm here begging for some help.
If this good soul exists, please, PM me so we can go through details.
Thanks in advance!

I feel you man..what'd you do to your phone? And when you get on the phone with HTC Australia tell them the truth I've seen them take pity on some people for flashing the wrong thingss and making it free to recover

Thanks man. Well, I was absolutely used to the HOX with Tegra 3, once I got the XL I thought I know almost everything. It worked well for a while, but things went sour when I tried to downgrade. I think it corrupts some stuff on the phone, and after that I think it's not possible to install a RUU. Well, I tried to anyway and found out that the hard way.
I was already pretty honest with them. I talked to them online, told them the whole story, but they said they could do nothing for me since I was in Brazil. And, as I said, HTC-Brazil was completely useless, since they don't sell this device here.
That's why I'm trying to find some help from an australian mate here at the forum. 'Til now, I had no success.
I found a guy who does JTAG here in Brazil. Since I'm having a hard time doing it trough HTC, I think I'll try this one last resort. I think I got almost nothing to lose by now.

What exactly do you need someone to do for you?

Hey timmaaa!
I'd need that person to give me an address to send the device, and after that I'd use this address to ask HTC what should I do.
Possibly I'd need it to be sent to HTC or Telstra.
But it's ok, by now I took the second possibility. I sent it to be used in a test with Riffbox. Now all I have to do is pray, as much as I can.
Anyway, thanks for replying!

Thanks man. I found int while I was doing my research yesterday.
Anyway, I found another site, a brazilian one (amigoandroid.com.br) which does the same service. I called him, and he sound pretty good technically, even explaining to me why jtagiing the Tegra version is a no-go. Also, I found some pretty good reviews about him in some brazilian forums.
He also explained to me that this process for the One XL is still in beta testing. But, as I said, I got pretty much nothing more to lose. For me it's ok if it ends up bricked if it makes future bricked devices come back to life.
Beside that, the price is basically the same, but I save money from the shipping and save some time I'd use to explain brazilian customs that the device was already mine, that I was sending it for repair and yadda yadda.
Anyway, thanks for the help. Will keep posted and, in cade anyone ends up screwed like me, they may fin a light at the end of the tunnel.

Its been fun. Goodbye V20.

Well guys its been a blast. Most of you know me as the creator of DirtySanta. Some of you know me on a more personal note. Then some of you don't even know me. Those of you who have been paying attention the last couple days in either the DirtySanta Thread or those that I have been in close contact with will know what this is about. I bricked my v20(again) but this time it somehow damaged the hardware itself. Lately you will have noticed that alot of major Devs have either moved on or have been thinking about moving on. @SaintZ93 and @Team DevDigitel have moved on. If I remember correctly @Chaz187 is also close to then end of their runs with the v20. As for me, this is my last goodbye. As of this post i will be ceasing all support for DirtySanta(support from me atleast, most of the questions asked these days are repeats) and any project for the v20 that I have released or have been working on(PA).
However... I will not be leaving the scene altogether. I will be going over to the S8+ forums.
I will also leave any hosted files I currently have up for dirtysanta alone. There will be no further updates for dirtysanta(not like there were anyway) and I will be leaving you guys with a parting gift: The secret to restoring a non kdz device back to stock.
I take no responsibility for your device and I WILL NOT provide any support for this.
To revert a non kdz device back to stock you need the following 3 things: Your abootbackup.img made during the dirtysanta process, Your bootbackup.img made during the dirtysanta process and the final item is an untouched matching [REDACTED].
Once again Thanks to everyone in the v20 community. Things could have gone better at times but I think you guys will survive with out me.
EDIT: Since people really wanna know. you need matching abootbackup.img, bootbackup.img and matching untouched system.img

This is the end of Sprint development! Kinda sucks!

For sure

Thanks for the amazing exploit, enjoy the s8

I can't fault you moving on. And I appreciate everything you've done for us. I'm going to keep my v20 until the screen falls off because of the swappable battery thing. At least I have root (thanks to you) and when stable xposed gets to working, I'll be good for awhile. Thanks again and enjoy that s8+.

All your hard work is acknowledged & very much appreciated. You're the primary reason this phone is fun at all (no root = no fun).
I hope we find a method to safely unbrick (bloody LG) so you can hold on to it in the future & remember the glory days spent here.
Enjoy your new toy

Thx for all your help.
Just wonder if s8+ got rooted?

I think you're leaving too early.. Sure, the v20 is going to be obsolete soon, but at the moment the v20 is really cheap, an amazing bargain for a great phone.
The opportunities for making interesting custom ROMs is really taking off, especially with the H990DS being rooted.
Sure, get an S8 but get another v20 and make the most of the great work done on it

How do you think development is just taking off when rhe ones responsible for development are saying sayonara? They arent leaving early.
You arrived late.

You worked so hard to do what u did for us theres nothing i can say so sum it up in words we had our run ins im threads but i wish u the best of luck for all u did im eteranlly grateful to u and all the awsome devs here u made a cool phone better

Well my replacement is coming in 7-10 days lol. I dont doubt it comes back on zv8 and a sure way to make sure i dont provide more updates. They killed my device lol so off to the moto z force i go. Im very thankful for the new friendships and team work this device brought to us, as well a new amount of knowledge was obtained through a crazy transition from su to magisk, the whole lg specifics, and just making things work for a great group of people. it was fun. DevDigitel Roms have been closed as of this morning. Thanks everyone!

You guys are awesome, thanks for the efforts you put forth and all that assistance you give.
Looking on the bright side of things, the small level of development isn't necessarily a bad thing for the V20. It has so many awesome features already, what is something that is so needed that requires extensive development? Sure, we can always try out new features. But lets look at the past, where the development community basically made a phone usable between extending battery life or adding features that should have already been there.
The entire scenario of development for phones has changed in my opinion. Take with a grain of salt, im no dev just a mooch that has been here for many many years. But seems in the past, development was a MUST. Now, honestly, I wouldn't be devastated if my phone was bone stock. But with that said, I sure do appreciate the additional features you guys have developed.
Another thing, replacing phones themselves and upgrading has changed. Honestly, I don't want a phone that doesn't have a headphone jack or removable battery. So going to hang on to this one as long as possible! Where beforehand, new phone brought features we WANT not DREAD.
Best of luck to you guys in the future!

Yep thank you 2151, I learned a lot and still have a ton left to learn, but I definately appreciate all you've done for the v20, I have a love/hate relationship with mine. I love the audio and hardware quality, but there wasn't much easy about modding the thing, as a novice anyway. Felt like smashing mine a few times. I know you veteran's get frustrated with people asking questions noobs should be able to find in the forums, but if ur trying to learn it can be tough to find the exact info you need to know, and there is so much to learn. Just saying in general anyway, not u specifically. I see a lot of guys getting chewed out on here, some deservedly, some not Imo. Samsung pretty much lost my business for the crap they released last year, note7 and a 10" pos tablet where the touchscreen didn't work right and they weren't gonna replace, I'm Lg from now on I think. If they stick to what they've been doing anyway, we'll see.

I'll be switching to the S8+ soon as I can afford it or the Note 8 .

I don't think we've met, but I wanna say thanks for your hard work, and all the other devs involved in the V20 here. I just ordered one because I needed a new phone (problems with current), my son's V20 impressed me, and most importantly, it can be rooted! I've rooted every Android device I've personally owned, and won't buy one that can't be rooted. I just can't stomach being told I can't access files on my SD card, can't block annoying ads, can't remove annoying bloatware, etc.
I know I'm late to the party, but the upside will hopefully be that you guys have worked out all the kinks. Thanks again, and enjoy the S8+!
