Install Android 4.4 beta 3 on LG L5

Hi, guys I'm new to android phones...but I'd love to know more about them and about these custom roms...so the point is that I read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2519448 and I don't know how to start ... I have a LG L5 E610 and the default ROM is a little slow...I need to mention that my phone isn't rooted...is brand new...so pls can you help me...I searched the Internet but I founded so many things and I'm kind of mix up...

Go to this subforum for your phone and read up on what's needed.

The procedure varies slightly from phone to phone but you first need to unlock your bootloader (the first unlock will wipe any data you have stored on the phone, make sure you backup first)
And most importantly don't be afraid to ask as many questions as you need, we were all noobs once
Also, once you got a custom recovery installed, make sure you do a full backup before experimenting, that way you always can get back to a working device no matter what happens.
Good luck and enjoy.

first I wiped data ..and after that I installed the ROM and after that Gapps...and now the phone is working but when I am on 3G, apps like youtube, exhange mail stop working..."unfortunately YouTube has stopped working"...what to do...is this problem related to Gapps or my Internet Acces VODAFONE RO or this UNOFFICIAL ROM from cm...and I wanna ask you another question if you don't mind HOW CAN I UNINSTALL GAPPS...?..maybe is from the .zip file ...you know better...sorry for my english

[Completed] Verizon Galaxy Note 3 BIG ISSUES

Hey all, I'm new to the forum (although I've been crawling around for years without a name)
I recently got hold of a Verizon Galaxy Note 3 SM-900V from a buddy of mine who bricked it or something. I have great experience rooting my devices so I figured I'd take it from him and try and get it working.
I'm not 100% sure what he has tried to flash, and hasn't but I'll tell you where my issues are, maybe someone can help!
Device doesn't go passed the Verizon screen. The bootloader is unlocked, but by the looks of it he did NOT install any type of Recovery System other than the original Android one. I've tried to see if I could flash any on the device, but it appears I can only use SafeStrap, and in order to install the device must power fully on. I've gone into the normal Android Recovery, deleted Cache, and Data/Factory Reset multiple times. Still goes to Verizon Screen.
Than I figured I'll just push 4.4.2 back in through Odin. Nope. I have the stock firmware and everything, but it stops on Odin at Aboot and my phone will say Fused 3 Binary 2? I'm really lost on that, I know it's due to the bootloader being unlocked.
It seems the only thing in Odin that will pass is the "unified KK Firmware." I'm kinda at a lose on this phone (luckily it was free) but I really would like to get it working.
Thanks in advanced and I really appreciate all the hard work everyone does here.

I'm really stuck on this.
I can't load stock, I can't recover, I can't factory wipe. Anyone?

What version do I flash? NC4? MJE?
Also, when I try and flash with stock recovery (since my buddy didn't install Safestrap) I get a error message. I believe it's footer is wrong -signature verification failed. I'm not sure what this means?
Thank you guys. I'm sure I can get this phone to work since I can get it to turn on, it's not a full brick.

I really appreciate the help. I'm going to check it out and hopefully be good to go from here. Will update this thread with the info if it goes through, and if it doesn't I will be posting in the other. Again, thank you so much!

Ugh... Still no go. Same thing.
It fails at the aboot.mbn

Again...asking for help in that thread is your best bet.

I think there is something wrong with my bootloader. Is there a way to reset or lock it? I tried everything, it won't load past the red verizon screen.
I'm noticing my little Android in the back of Recovery Mode says "No Command" also. Kinda strange.

XDA Assist is here to help guide members to where they should be able to find help. We don't do support I'm afraid. Please ask in the thread I linked. And again, they know your device best.

[Completed] [Q] How to remove twrp and fully unroot LG G3 d-855?

I have rooted my LG G3 and tried flashing twrp (no idea if it worked, when booting to recovery the notification led just flashes red and blue...). I decided that I want my phone to be completely stock again (If thats possible..) and couldn't find info on this for G3 devices. I'm quite sure that my twrp flash attempt failed but I would like to remove any files that the installer might have placed on my phone when attempting to install it. I also need help in unrooting my device, I have heard that you can do so from SuperSU, but does that FULLY unroot my device? I am running Lollipop 5.0

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
This thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089 should provide the information required to completely flash your device back to stock.
This is the only way to actually reset the device and completely remove any files you may have uploaded to the device while rooting and attempting to flash custom recovery.
This method will also wipe all internal storage. So please back up anything like picture, videos and files you would like to save.
Also make sure you select the appropriate firmware for your device.
If things are unclear I suggest you ask the individuals in that thread as those are the users who are experts in your device.
Good Luck!

[Completed] Binary backup to device of same type?

Is it possible to backup an android device (in my case gs4 variant) entirely as in system as binary.img file?
I'll explain more about what I mean by binary backup as follow up.
I have gs4, dropped it several times (I'm clumsy) now finally digitalizer and screen is completely dead. It used to be rooted and have CWM recovery.
I have another gs4 I got from my brother as he got new phone and we used same carrier both are sgh-i337m (should be internally same as i9505)
Now I want to keep all the settings and apps files etc. (Litterally everything)
Reason is because I don't like changes unless absolutly neccessary. (Heck I'm still using rotary as home phone)
So, only way (without costing me money) I can find possible was binary backup. Dump everything from the eMMC of my old phone to the other one.
Is this possible in anyway? If I use ADB or someway? By the way old one is completely blacked out and not recognizing any touch input.
I googled and searched for such information in XDA couldn't find one myself.
Please help. Thanks in advance

[Completed] Can Clockwork or another recovery program find and backup your truly stock ROM?

My question current is really about better understanding something in this whole Root and Linux learning adventure I think I am totally confused about.
Basically if no custom ROM exist or your device is not listed on the supported list of devices in any recovery program....
OR as in my case you want desperately to get the thing back running on it's true stock what do you do?
Your rooted, but stuck.
So my main question is:
What is the best way to bring a device back to stock if there is no stock ROMs available and factory reset will not work?
On any device in this situation. Mostly I am hoping to have it explained in a way I can really finalize this confusing hole in my logic.
Like can a recovery program find it if it is still on the device somewhere and if not, why not?
Thanks in advance.
Additional backstory if helpful.
I have a Wacom Cintiq Hybrid running Android 4.1 that is ( now ) rooted..
This is a very bad thing. The Real Stock ROM has palm rejection and all the drivers to make it work as a tool. So stock is the ideal but it is clearly not stock as my device supposedly came in the
box running 4.2 and with software and drivers to make it work properly with the pen. This has nothing. No software and the smallest amount of apps possible. Worse this is no custom ROM its on ( I think) as it would be the worst one ever and it was not rooted on arrival. I have no idea what happened before I got it. I may have made the mistake of rooting it really as I found out to my dismay there is no ROM support. So back to square one. I bought it ( very cheap for one of these ) "stuck and unable to go to the play store" and I did not realize until I got it, on a version of Android it was not meant for. Wacom is totally and woefully unhelpful in every way. They seem to want to quietly put this device behind them at the expense literally of their customers.
I have discussed this problem in another thread if more details on all this specific to this device are of interest.

Hello & welcome to xda-assist,
If you rooted the device you changed the system /kernel in the process, if root is all you done you should be able to unroot by using the unroot option in your root management application, if you did further changes like deleting system apps and so on it gets more complex, the best and easiest way to get back to the original state would be a copy of the latest firmware.. If it doesn't exist you're somewhat out of luck, please refer to this link for further help & information..

Thanks for the reply. So no way to get the extract the original firmware? I don't wish to un-root. The device was set to a very sad state of affairs when I got it, unrooted, with something very unlike the stock firmware and factory date reset not helping at all. Persistently locked into a lower version of Android than it was not meant for and not running the drivers or software it would seem I need to make it function properly that came with the device.
Basically it lead to my curiosity of how one goes about extracting or mining the data that is stored somewhere on the device if all I did was root. Which is all I did.
It should still be there. Basically how do I get to it?
The link takes me back to the forums for help, however I found no help there after much searching before I asked here but thanks

The intended of xda-assist is to direct you to the most suitable board of xda, we do not solve issues for you or do technical support, please be patient, it often takes time for exotic devices / questions to be seen by someone who can give hints and answers..
Edit: but it's not that the original firmware is stored somewhere on the device by default where you can grab it and reinstall it..

Totally cool. It's a tough question.
The OG firmware thing is the toughest part to understand. Just wanted to make sure I was clear in my explanation and question.
