Never really had any problem so far. i started testing Carbon hammerhead few days ago on 20140325 nightly.. didn't had any problem and update to 20140328 by copying the zip file to the root and now i am trying to update to their new release but having problem copying files on phone, keeps giving me error saying "Cannot copy item - The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected". i have Android Debugging is enabled, checked on unknown sources, checked on Media device (MTP). Anyone know how to solve this problem !!!

Try unchecking Android Debugging. I can't seem to copy files unless that is unchecked.

Try and reboot the phone and the PC. Then reconnect the phone to the PC with USB debugging disabled.
If not maybe check your PC drivers.
You could also use adb to push the ROM.

It's possible that it could be the ROM but I'd think it has something more to do with your PC if it was working before.
Do you know of some update or change recently on the PC?
What error did you get when trying to push the ROM?
Let us know if it works once your back to stock.

I have few suggestions. If you are trying to copy zip file to phone, then dont do it. Put all the files you need in a folder and then copy to phone.
if it still gives error then try to copy to Downloads folder.
I had issues copying rar,zip files to phone. Due to filename length sometimes it doesnt allow you to copy.
Zaib
When i had such an issue i put in the folder i copied the files to a ".nomedia" file. You can find this kind of files on your device storage, copy your files to this location. I think what happens is that the phone is trying to index the files and fail. The ".nomedia" file prevent it from indexing.

I heard somewhere that temporarily changing the filename extention to something else, e.g., ".bak", will solve the problem.
Why not just download it straight to the phone?

I really don't think i had any new updates on my laptop. The error that it gives me when i drag and drop the .zip file on the root folder of the phone was "Cannot copy item - The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected".
Well, flashed back to stock and rooted back again to the latest nightly released from " Carbon Hammerhead nightly ". Still wondering what went wrong !! i did the same procedure that i did last time .. hmmmmm. Will update when i do next update

this is my fourth update now , since i went back to stock, root and running the same ROM. I am not sure what went wrong last time. Only thing i did extra that i remember is that i went to the advance to wipe and select all except for the system. other than that i follow the same procedure !!! could be corrupt zip file or may be something else .. really have no clue whats the main reason ....
Thanks for all the suggestion
When I first got my phone last week I tried to put some custom ROMs and mods on the internal storage but it wouldn't let me do it... so I copied a jpg image to the phone first and then it let copy the zip files

This happens to me almost allday because im consantly copying pulling the plug right out .When this happen go to device manager portable devices and uninstall the driver while your phones plug in, when done go notifaction panel and uncheck mtp, recheck mtp , let windows reinstall driver and your good. Now somtimes you can unplug your phone from pc than uncheck mtp/ recheck and plug phone back up and wula.

hi
Ok I've tried to find answers online myself and in this forum and getting more confused instead of getting my issues sorted. I've got a sony xperia e C1505 and I want to get rid of the bloatware on it. To do that i know it needs rooted. I've downloaded framaoot ( i know this will sound very clueless but not sure what version, the file name extends off the screen and i had a couple of versions at one point as i was having difficulty installing them via the pc, kept getting parsing errors)
The one I have has the option to install superSU which I've left and both Aragorn and Gandalfexploits. I keep getting error #7. I placed the apk file from my pc onto my phone in the sd card so not sure what the issue would be. I tried the oldest and newest apk files from the xda thread about rooting using framaroot but had parsing errors.
Can anyone give me a bit of advice? It seems like a really simple thing to do in theory just not in practice and it's getting really frustrating that I dont knw how to resolve the errors on framaroot..
thanks

you have to run the bat file form your computer with you phone connected to it
make sure you have adb properly installed, then run the "install.bat" file
VIDEO POSTED/ADDED. http://youtu.be/HVE57D43exE
I SUCK AT WRITING TUTORIALS. FOLLOWING THE VIDEO I MADE WILL PROBABLY BE EASIER. Im not responsible for any of the stupid messups you do blahblahblah all that good stuff.
I know this is sort of a stupid guide, and my "method" is stupid, but it will save people with the Aqua who are very determined to root and save a lot of time and research. This is my first tutorial and i've updated it to suck less.
1. Download the following tools: XperiaFirm, Sony RIC killer, FlashTool, Sony PC companion (for /some/ the drivers), Sony Fastboot driver, android SDK, SuperSU-update.zip, and the CWM boot.img for the original Sony Xperia M2 (Don't get hasty. I'd follow this step by step if I were you, no matter how many devices you've rooted THIS IS DIFFRENT. Make sure you've unlocked your boot loader. Stuff like that.)
2. Install things that need to be installed, move the sony fastboot driver into android SDKs extras/google/USB_Driver folder, replacing the existing one (Im pulling this off the top of my head, if it's named something else but close you get the picture.) I freaking hate this part. I'll let you figure installing the drivers out.
3. Open XperiaFirm, go to your device name and select it's model. Select the latest firmware for your m2 aqua and download it.
4. After the firmware is downloaded, open flashtool. Go to TOOLS>BUNDLES>FILESET Decrypt.
5. Select the folder you downloaded your firmware from XperiaFirm as Source Folder. Add all the files to "Files to convert." Click "convert." THIS WILL TAKE A WHILE, LEAVE IT ALONE UNTILL YOU SEE COMPETED.
6. When it's done, a window pops up letting you create an FTF out of the files. Add all the files except for the .ta files and click continue (Or whatever it's labeled as, again top of my head.)
7. Allow it to convert, when it's all done minimize flashtool for now. We don't need it again untill the end.
8. Move your boot.img for the original sony xperia M2 (Not aqua ) into the platform-tools folder of android SDK. Put your device in fastboot mode by holding down the VOL UP while plugging in the USB cable while it's off and flash the boot.img with "fastboot flash boot boot.img" THIS WILL ABSOLUTELY BRICK YOUR DEVICE TO WHERE IT WILL BOOT INTO CWM BUT NOT ANDROID. When it's done flashing, type "fastboot reboot"
9.Click the volume up and down keys repeatedly. (Like, up, down, up, down, up, down, and so on) until you enter CWM. From here, scroll to "Install zip" and navigate to and install your superuser flashable zip.
10. Go to advanced, reboot bootloader. It will ask if you want to fix superuser. Click yes and it will continue to reboot. From here run your fastboot reboot command. Once your device powers off, quickly connect the USB cable as you hold the volume down to put your device in flash mode. This is the part where we fix your kernel (the reason your aqua won't boot into android). Return to FlashTool and select the lightning bolt. Select Flash mode. Click on the firmware you packaged earlier. Now, go to the exclude box and uncheck everything except kernel. This will fix your kernel, leaving su binarys in system/xbin. Click Flash and wait untill the tool is finished.
11. Reboot your phone into android. You are now...somewhat rooted. The /system part. is write protected due to Sony RCIS. Open Sony RIC killer V2 on your computer when the device is done booting. Run the application on your computer and reboot your phone. You are now fully rooted!
--If you happen to make a mistake while your rooted or whatever, go to flashtool and flash the firmware you packaged (NOT EXCLUDING ANYTHING) If you do this, have fun doing all this crap over agian.
IM ADDING IMPORTANT DETAILS STILL. SORRY.
But You need unlocked bootloader If You unlock it first w/o root and making DRM keys backup, You will lose them.
ROFS
I should have mentioned to unlock your bootloader first. But there's a bigger problem. Even though the SU binary is in /system/xbin and other files for superSU are present, it seems that any operation involving writing to /system fails! Not only this, but when trying to remount it as r/w it gives "Read only filesystem" error in system logs. I'm not sure if SuperSU is broken or what's wrong. Everything else /seems/ to work. (Orbot transparent proxy and changing Cpu clocks seems to work). Any ideas on what can be done, or why my "method" (pft) didn't fully work? (Btw, the system acts as any rooted device does, at first glance.)

I guess you have to install the driver again..in download mode...uninstall then install back..then try the code
Tried that and still no luck.
I've got that problem too. The way i fixed it was to reflash the H810pr brand new. Do not mess with any setting yet. Then enable USB debugging. Make sure you use MTP mode, be certain that the phone itself ask you if you want to install driver. Hit yes, then reinstall the LG driver on your pc. Put the phone in download mode and root. Make sure you run the "send command" line and "id" line as instructed.
Tried that, it still doesnt want to work properly.

Make sure the img file is extracted properly from the rar file that you downloaded.
Also ensure the name of the file on the internal memory matches the name in the flash command.
Perhaps the rooted image didn't download correctly.
Could be a driver or com port issue, but you were able to flash the original image so that shouldn't be the problem.
Ya i was triple checking everything. It seems like a driver problem ill look into ot later.

If you are still having this problem, make sure the file is on the internal SDcard at the top level (root directory) and not the external sdcard.
Ya I made sure of that too, I don't even own an external sd card. I've just been using on the stock unrooted h810pr, haven't had time to look into the problem. If I figure it out ill post how to fix it just in case someone else has this problem in the future. If anyone has any other suggestions let me know I'll try them this week end.

Hey Guys,
Brand new to XDA and new to messing with my phone in anyway, I looked through some threads, but am not sure if I can mess something up worse by not following the right steps,
I basically bought a used phone on craigslist, AT&T LG G FLEX 2 - LG-H950 and when I factory reset it, many of the default apps are not installed, cannot use my calendar and the phone is just a little off all together.
Not sure if the phone is still rooted or if the factory reset cleared it, and I am all together worried that the only reason the kid sold it to me was because he messed it up and couldn't fix it and just pawned it off to my dumas
I know its frowned upon to start new threads when the answers are out there, but i need this for work ASAP and if I screw it up and cant use it all Ill have to go back to my work iPhone (last resort, i hate it)
I started to follow hyelton's video http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
but got cold feet when i couldnt find my exact model the h950
It is currently on the android 5.0.1 and when i tried the update before i reset it, it said i couldn't update it something about the root. So i reset it and everything is the same as when I bought it on CraigList.
How do I get it back to square one, like it came in the box. I am interested in learning how to root and be in control of my own property, but I just want to get back to the start safely without bricking it so I can follow the forums and not feel so helpless.
im sorry if the first response to this just point me to another thread, but I will appreciate even that much guidance so at least i know i am headed in the right direction
Thanks a lot xda community

Factory reset won't remove root BTW. Recent Android phones seem to perform an integrity check prior to updating that fails when root is present.

Just read that to get the phone back to stock, then you'll be able to upgrade to 11x (5.1.1) and eventually 11z.

cool, thanks, one more question
I made an account with MEGA
downloaded the Flex2Tool 1.4.1 and unzipped
downloaded the system.img.gz
Started watching your video. however i am not bricked.
it has missing default apps and it says this device is suspected in rooting, software update is not available for rooted device.
so what is my first step after downloading these files. do i connect phone to my computer and open up the flex2tool and
select variant 1 which is H950 v10d etc
then do I select 1 , ( i do not need anything on the phone.)
or move straight to variant 2. restore unroot stock system.
if i do that next where do I put the system.img.gz file on my phone. anywhere in the internal memory and before or after I reset it?
sorry for all the questions and thanks for all the help. i am very new to doing anything besides calling or texting on my phone

1. You first need the LG USB drivers for the Flex to be installed
2. The system image file (gz) will have a .img file inside that's about 4GB, so unzip the one you downloaded with 7zip, preferably from a PC. Put the .img file on the root of the phone's internal memory before proceeding. You'll also want USB debugging enable and disable the verify over USB option
3. Once file is on phone you can continue with the tool, it will eventually go into download mode & show ## when finished

okay i did that but
I dont understand your last thing >>>>"You'll also want USB debugging enable and disable the verify over USB option"
when i have my usb connected the phone gives three options
1.Charge Phone
via usb
2.Media Sync (MTP)
3.Send images (PTP)
When restarting the recovery tool after img. has been installed to root of internal storage. do i just start program or do i need to turn off phone or reset it or just run it with the MTP

Like that. Check that the USB debugging icon shows in the notification area while USB is connected as MTP. Then you can start the tool. Be sure that the .img is present on the root(sdcard0) prior to letting the tool reboot the phone.

Did you remove the USB cord, then re insert after ##? The tool will reboot for you, and are you back into the OS now?

Probably a good idea. I think the previous owner was trying to delete some of the bloatware and didn't properly restore the phone before selling it, not sure if that was done purposely or not.

okay, i reset it but still dont have default apps
the default apps for the calendar which was my original issue still is not there, just a generic Android icon. because there is no default it will not allow me to sync calendars, also no default messaging app.
not sure if this just put me back to 5.0.1 which is where already was but i am still missing default apps to make the phone run smoothly,
any ideas on what i may have done wrong

Super noob
Looks like it came unzipped when I downloaded from Mega. Icon is a blank paper folded too right corner and reads system.img.gz and 1.6 gb which is what I copied to the root storage and then followed everything else and did it again starting from scratch and still have generic icon without the default apps like calendar, browser, and messaging. I'm trying tho. Been reading forums since last night with no luck
I do appreciate everyone's help tho,
And ace there is no calendar under apps

You need to unzip that file
.gz like .rar or .zip are different types of compression, so download the latest version of winrar or use 7zip, you need the system.img file (4gb)
