[Completed] updating my phone - XDA Assist

Hi everyone!
i'd like to uptate my phone to android kitkat if its possible i ve seen some videos on youtube but im a little bit sceptical about it , I have LG-P705 with the android 4.0.3.
btw I apologize if im posting on the wrong category

HI,
Yes, there are lots of options for you it looks like. This is the section for your device....
LG Optimus L3, L5, L7
See the development sections for ROMs for your device.
Are you rooted? You need to have a custom recovery to flash ROMs. If you are completely stock, you've never received an update?
Here is a great guide that covers a lot... Read up, the more you learn ahead of time... The easier and safer things will be..
> LG Optimus L3, L5, L7Optimus L3, L5, L7 General>[L7]P700/P705 Guide for Rooting,CWM install,ROMs,Baseband
You can ask for help regarding the things in the guide in that thread.
Other questions or issues should be asked in the Q&A section. (see my first link)
Good luck!

Thanks alot for the clarifications but i'm newbie and i don't really now the procedures i understand that i have to root the phone first then i don't know what to do ... could you wrap it up for me please.

XDA Assist is for helping navigate the site only.
That said...quick summary...
-unlock bootloader (or some equivalent exploit )
- flash custom recovery
- root... Or just flash custom rom, which likely is already rooted. (always read rom flashing instructions carefully)
It's all in the guide I linked.
There's other ways, but that's a whole other can of worms.
Further questions will have to be asked in the guide thread, or stay a new thread in your Q&A section. ?

No sorry. But you can just copy your original post to a new thread.
Again, read and read. The more you know, the smother life will be with this stuff. Going into things confused is a recipe for trouble.
You will find this advise will probably be repeated. It's on all us members to do the homework, and ask for clarification on things.... But getting walked through things can also lead to trouble if you misunderstand something, or the person helping you is just wrong. ?
Read the guide I linked. Read some of the replies... As they often have the same questions you do. Browse the general and Q&A sections and you'll find similar questions and info that you've been asking. Especially read the stickied threads at the top of the sections.
This hobby requires work, effort and time. ?
Again, good luck!

help with root (htc sensation)

I'm on stock ics I have unlocked my bootloader. I tried rooting it through all in one kit but my phone reboot and stay on the HTC logo screen intill I take the battery out and restart it but its not rooted still. I follow the guides accordingly but can't require root. After unlocking bootloader do I need to s off first then root please help I can even pay
wrong section, you n00b.
flash a rooted custom rom via recovery, and you have the root access. you don't need to root until you want to keep your stock rom
read more, follow guides and watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA
delete this thread.
thread shouldn't be here and there's tons of noob friendly guides to show you.
but to answer your question yes S-Off first

It is the wrong section because unlocking the phone or rooting it belongs in Q&A as you are asking a Question and need an Answer to get your problem solved.
It isn't a collaboration of people finding a way to make a s-on phone permanently s-off or unlocking a bootloader or giving it engineering capabilities for all of XDA. Therefore nothing is being developed.
The place you want to post your question to quickly get an answer is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443587

as kohr-ah said it is in wrong section
and coming to the topic
as you are htc-dev unlocked
try my one click root tool..from my soff guide (link in my signature)
if you've unlocked your bootloader it should say (unlocked) at the top of the bootloader screen. you dont really need to s-off your phone just yet, if your phone has updated to ics it will already have the latest firmware already installed, so if i was you id install adb/fastboot then just use fastboot to flash your recovery instead of jumping to s-off you dont want to be messing that up
I think your in the wrong place if you have questions there's q&a part that you need to go

This is from the very first thread stating the rules for this forum
[MANDATORY] RULES FOR DEVELOPMENT Updated 21.03
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS FORUM IS ONLY FOR RELEASING AND DEVELOPING ROMS AND KERNELS.
SOME GUIDES REGARDING S-OFF AND FLASHING WILL BE ALLOWED BUT MOST WILL BE LINKED IN A REFERENCE THREAD
•Try to keep the development forum CLEAN! No offtopic posting and no questions.
•Use the report button in an offending post to let us mods know we need to take action. Dont take matters into your own hands!!!
•Sources need to be posted for all kernels!!!
•You need to use TAGS like [ROM] or [KERNEL] and so on as used in all dev forums throughout XDA
•Any disputes between developers should be handled by pm. No public posting in a dev thread regarding these matters
•Rom issues should be discussed within their respective threads
•Thread titles should ALWAYS coincide with ROMS ALREADY AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD!!! No advance notification of incoming ROM through thread title. A changelog for the yet unreleased Rom can be included in the OP or in another post CLEARLY MARKED as EXPECTED CHANGELOG
•Posting in the development section means automatic ACCEPTANCE of the above Rules
All posts that are NOT about ROM development, or development in general will be closed or deleted and posters that will choose to disregard the previous guidelines will be infracted.
As you can see only roms and kernels should be allowed in this thead. If you have a question it needs to go into the Q&A section or if it is about a particular rom that has been posted here it needs to go in that rom thread.
ok ok sorry
Ok I'm sorry if this post hurt your feelings because I posted in the wrong forum, I'm truly sorry ill take it down soon as I get home

Hi,
The xda thread you posted is not for your device, therefore likely won't apply. Here is a discussion on rooting your device. You can ask about it here, after reading it all I'd say...
> General discussion > Questions and Answers > [Q] Root for VM LG Volt
Good luck!

If you know about this problem could you please point me to the right threads so i can fix this problem.. thank you,,,,I would also like to root this phone can you send me to the threads for this purpose?

Hi,
The best way to give you lots of info on the rooting is to link you to your device section, here...
> LG Thrill 4G
If you click on the General section and then the Q&A section, you'll see many root threads on the first page of each section.
As far as your display issue, and any other questions you have about that device, please post them in the Q&A section.
Good luck!

New to Rooting

Hi guys
i am new to rooting devices i have jailbroke my ipad etc but i have always had android mobiles in particular nexus 4/5/6
i am looking to root my device the sole reason being so i can use Hound on my phone. can someone point me in the right direction on where to start with this currently running *nexus 6 with latest firm update*
thanks for the help in advance
Hi,
Before asking this basic question on a very popular development friendly device, I would suggest you visit the N6 section, here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6
The General section has a Roll up Index thread which likely has the help you need, and there are other great guides and tutorials in the General and Q&A sections.
If you get stuck after doing your homework....you can ask for help in the Nexus 6 Q&A section. This hobby takes a LOT o reading. You will find it tough to get help if you don't read read read first. Especially with a Nexus device, where there is lots of info here for those. Also, the more you know, the less likely you will run into troubles with your device.
Good luck!! And I will close this thread.

Thanks, Let me try that.
Also where do I get the Android 5.X to convert my existing 4.1.2 to 5.X? Is there any procedure to be followed during doing this?
Hi!
Here is your device section,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2
The development sections have many roms to choose from, assuming you have installed a custom recovery.
If not, I suggest reading the guides and frequently asked questions threads in the General and Q&A sections... Usually near the top of the first pages.
There's a lot to read and learn about here... You'll need to dedicate time for this hobby.
If you have further questions , you can open a thread in the Q&A section.
Good luck!
