How to add back a certain language from Claro H950PR 5.1.1 after deleting CLR_PR? - LG G Flex 2

Hi All,
Was wondering if anyone can show me how to do this.
1) Flashed to Claro PR 5.1.1
2) Rooted with EasyRoot and rootedsystem.img
3) Used Root explorer and moved CLR_PR to my PC and deleted the folder on the phone. (I did this in order to make 4G/LTE stay after reboot or factory reset).
I see after deleting the folder and doing a factory reset, the language options during initial setup is more universal now with other languages reading from the phone.
My question is (and i hope it is not a difficult one), can I somehow take the language that was available with the CLR_PR folder, and make it available with the current status of the phone now? For example, if I wanted to make Espanol , Colombia language available, how would I go about doing so?
Is it as simple as editing or adding a line on a file on the phone to match the file from the CLR_PR folder? Some steps or examples would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You for everyone's help. Also will disabling checking off to disable superuser access be enough to bring phone to a non root status as far as the applications are concerned?

Wondering if you've tried clearing data of Google Translate, then uninstalling and reinstalling? In any case, if that doesn't work and you can't find it through a Google search, perhaps you can be more specific about which languages you're after.

When I downloaded Spanish, it first said "Downloading Core File" or something along that line, and it had a ? next to it which I clicked and it said that its a separate download necessary for off line translation. More importantly, where the translation files are stored, it appears that the files, since I only have english and spanish installed, are labeled in the fashion of en_es and es_en. Note though, that I hadn't previously installed Spanish but that it is the only language I've used with Google Translate, so this may be a factor but my guess is that its a result of what's installed as there's more than one of these files and the directory is sort of large.
So that said, I'm not sure if this would actually work if we had all the same languages installed, or that since mine defaults to English, and the phone's locale for English is Australia, if it makes a difference.
This is what I pulled from /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.translate/files though, which is where the data seems to have gone as near as I can tell. There are some database files in /data/data/com.google.android.apps.translate/ along with some other stuff and it a small amount of data in there, but this too may be important but if its linked to my account then it wouldn't work I don't think so I'm not including it.
Okay so as stated, here's what I pulled and its at /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.translate/files
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzBXVgEr6tYzQlg1WHlla0RkZ3M/edit?usp=sharing
I'm deficient when it comes to making zip files at the command line. If you're unfamiliar with .tar files, you can put it on the sdcard, then open terminal emulator and in the case of this particular tar file, enter cd /sdcard/ and then after that tar -vxf translate-files.tar -C /
you might want to backup that directory yourself first or delete it and reinstall google-translate if it breaks things or simply doesn't work.
Also, if you need differant languages than just Spanish and English, especially since it seems to create things corresponding to what I have installed, I don't mind downloading other languages and trying it out like that, but quote this post if its the case or I won't know you replied. Hopefully the core file didn't go to the /data partition as it might then be linked to my account and replacing that wouldn't work in that case.

If this is for a reason of country restriction, by the way, if you install MarketEnabler along with Hotspot Shield, you can still spoof the country your in. Hotspot Shield should be uninstalled after you're done though, and uninstall it by stopping the app then clearing the data, then uninstall, or freeze it (also after clearing the data) if you're rooted. I've used that to install apps only available in the U.S.
I don't remember why I had a problem with HotSpot Shield being on the device. It autostarts at boot (and probably on other system events) which can be disabled if you're rooted so it must have gone beyond that. I think it was more than just not wanting a proxy that logs stuff or can man in the middle... maybe it had push ads or something else that wasn't appropriate, I can't remember now.
If answer to original question is still needed, it's there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42500594#post42500594
Is it possible to save the offline dictionaries in the sd card? I have tried moving the google.translate folder to my sd card, but the application does not see them. Another try was to first install the application in the sd card, then try to download them, but without success. Also, having the app installed in the sd card, I moved the files to the sd card, again with no success.
I have a Galaxy S4 mini, and I amasking for a solution without having to root the phone.
I have the same question for Google music, but I think it is more difficult to this app. I know that there is a solution in rooted phones, with mounting drives. But I need a simplier solution.

How to use MOTOROLA APPLICATIONS on MOTO G running Cyanogenmod

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FATE OF YOUR PHONE . THE INFORMATION AND STEPS I PROVIDE ARE THE ONES I FOUND THAT WORKED FOR ME DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THEY WOULD FOR YOU.!
***==>THIS REQUIRES ROOT<==*** (#commonsense you are on Cyanogen mod)
Okay so i had seen many people having problem with being able to install STOCK MOTOROLA APPLICATIONS ON MOTO G running Cyanogen-mod so here it is first you need the files so i extracted the from a stock firmware file .xml.zip it should work for all the moto g versions out there.
***IMPORTANT***
KEEP A BACKUP OF ALL THE FILES YOU FIDDLE WITH JUST IN CASE YOU DO SOMETHING IDIOTIC AND SOFT BRICK YOUR PHONE.!
now FIRSTLY you need to know that the compatibility/ability of a android phone to be able to install an application is entirely dependent on its properties and values in BUILD.PROP file found in "/System/"
so i am going to attach that as well (do not copy paste the file BUILD.PROP edit it for these two or you may land in trouble also tally the only things that you may require should be these two lines and some " ro.------ " values that i have changed!)
ro.product.model=XT----- #what ever is your model number replace it with the "-----"
ro.product.manufacturer=MOTOROLA
these two are the main lines you need to edit in some cases they may not exist so BE GOD create them .!
restart in the recovery i have TWRP so i used it to fix the permissions in the advanced tab
also after this wipe your cache .!
now once the build.prop is handled assuming you did that correctly we move on to the easy part.
**also you should delete the data and cache of the play store to reset it to the updated phone build properties.**
get a good explorer for the device with root access.
now copy all the files you wan to install in both these folders
copy them to
"
\System\priv-app
\System\app
"
and run them they might just fail to run but thats fine.!
now
delete the ODEX files accompanying them
restart phone in recovery clear the cache and then fix permissions.
while restart you should see a scree saying "updating applications (number of apps you copied to both of the folders)"
restart and then pray hopefully the apps would already be installed .have fun
P.S.
the slow motion feature WORKS TOO!!
Hey bro, can you make a video? this appears a little hard for noobs like me haha

Help rooting H60 L12

Hello, first thanks for such an amazing community.
Just taken receipt of the H60 L12. The phone was updated by the seller with B611. The kernel version is 3.10.30-g41362b8-dirty.
I apologise in advance, I know most of the information is already on the forum, but I'm nowhere near as efficient at processing information as most. Just need a little clarity.
I would really like to remove the Chinese characters from the magazine lock/ contacts, some miscellaneous apps and change up to the B307.
I've read through the Honor 6 H60-L04 ROOTING METHOD Step by Step
Can this method be used for the L12?
Step 2 of the guide says:
Download, unzip and open the Honor 6 Multi Tool folder.
Extract the file SuperSU.zip from the 'Tools' folder and put it on your phone's SD Card.​
I downloaded Multi-Tool but is UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip the same as SuperSu.zip everyone refers to?
Thanks in advance.
Just disable the magazine and the chinese chars are gone .
The chinese chars are together with the pictures. Some info about the picture and the photographer or so. Change the pictures to your own and the chinese writing is gone.
Removing the chars from the contacs is possible but breaks the updates.
You can root with the Multi Tool or manual with these howto: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57271243&postcount=5 It is in the same thread as the multitool and from the dev of this tool.
The supersu zip should be the same or just a newer version. I thinks the Multi-Tools keeps the versions up to date
Thank you so much Julsen. I now have an English lock screen. Yay!
Thanks also for clarifying root & BL. I will read it All again. If I have any hiccups I will post back. :fingers-crossed:
You are welcome. I was in the contacts app and it seems the chinese chars are gone in the b310 built
Gesendet von meinem H60-L12 mit Tapatalk
Hi there again,
Moving over to the new B310 from B611. In order to achieve this, will I have to unlock BL and Root?
Also, the phone currently has playstore on it. Will I lose this or will I have to reinstall?
Apologies for newbie questions, better safe than sorry.
There is no Unlock nor Root needed for the updates. Just grab the right ROM from the EMUI site or from the Archive here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57273395&postcount=3
The update should be done without losing ur data but you should make a backup for the worst case. For the update you need the stock recovery and an untouched build.prob
Just read in the threads. Most of your questions was already asked and aswered.
Thanks again Julsen,
Without sounding completely daft, do I need build.prop for both B611 and B307?
I have no idea if the current build.prop has been modified or is untouched. How does one check this?
Is there a flash counter on the Honor 6 ? How does one check to see if the system has been rooted/ bl unlocked before? And, is there a reset counter for this?
Perhaps my terminology is incorrect, but I have honestly searched for this info and can't find it. Any and all help is very much appreciated.
:angel:
If you did no changes to the build.prop, it should be untouched. Root is normally no problem for updates nor an unlocked bootloader.
Well, after much gnashing of teeth, I have managed to update from B611 to B310. Effortlessly and painlessly.
It would seem that although I had HiSuite2.3.35, mine didn't have an option to download and install new rom updates. I don't know why this is but the 'My Tools' tab was missing from mine.
I was searching for examples of rooting and unlocking and a visual guide as to how to flash new rom, when fell across a Russian ytvid which linked to a copy HiSuite v2.3.15, seeing I didn't have that much to lose I loaded and well, voilà, I gained the My Tools tab and I updated to B310 without any hassles at all.
However, I did make a mistake. I factory reset phone (don't ask :facepalm: ), so now I have all the Chinese apps most of which are system apps.
Is there a list as to which of these apps are safe to remove?

About to buy an AT&T LG G4, can someone QUICKLY answer this question?? Thanks!

Dear Friends,
About to pull a trigger on an AT&T LG G4, can someone give me a short answer, ASAP?
Is it possible to have permanent Root and Xposed on the AT&T variant WITHOUT ridiculous bugs like a "green dot" in the camera of the phone? (what does the green dot even mean? It's on every picture? Is it a watermark? Just on the GUI?)
If possible, how? And should I buy the phone?
Appreciate any QUICK responses, about to buy now! Thanks so much in advance!
I just bought the G4 a couple of days ago. I was able to root, but there is no twrp or xposed as far as I know. I also don't have the green dot and everything is working fine!
Thanks for the quick response, my friend. Can you share the method/thread/image you used to Root?
I think you can install Xposed without TWRP via FireFlash? Can someone please confirm?
Thanks guys!
Just got my G4 two days ago. You can root and you can install Xposed with FireFlash. Root requires pushing a rooted version of whatever software version you are currently running. If you can't find one you can inject root into your own system.img using Ubuntu. After root get FireFlash and the right xposed zip and be patient, it can sit black screen, appearing dead for 20-30 minutes. Over all not too hard. Took me a couple hours from The un-boxing to Xposed. Definitely do it. The green dot on camera comes from the PR system.img. I'd stay clear of that. Everything is working great on mine!
@Nowak4G - Thanks bud, that's what I read too. Can you point me to the guide and img file you used that worked for you? I doubt I'd prefer the Ubuntu way...
One other question... Is there a way/app/Xposed module that's kind of like G3TweaksBox for us? Letting us change the Status bar icon colors and toggle colors?
I highly doubt themes work for us since we can't Flash them without custom recovery?
Thanks again!
GravityBox works for status bar stuff and yeah here are the threads I used. Good luck bud!

I'm not totally sure what stuff can and can't be flashed using FireFlash. But for applying icon themes with Xposed I use this module, Unicon:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1nrydqmmOBUdFoyV0FBLUM1OVE/view?usp=docslist_api
I've had my LG G4 rooted and running Xposed with a lot of modules enabled.
If the phone you buy is on the 10G software version (and want to stay on that version), you should be able to root it following the method in the LG G4 Low Effort Root thread. Follow it to the dot and enjoy partial freedom.
If the phone you buy is on 10I, there is a rooted image floating around. So you could take the 10I update (or make sure your phone's on the 10I version), and root it using the Low Effort Root method.
I would also recommend the following:
1. keeping a copy of your untouched fresh system image in your internal memory (as early as possible after buying the phone). In case of a bad flash you have something to possibly go back to - otherwise you'll end up with the PR ROM and the green dot. The method and commands to extracting the system image is very similar to rooting, except instead of dd'ing into the system partition from SD, you do the opposite (from system partition to SD)
2. disabling system apps and system updates using the debloater tool and a tutorial here on the forums
Regarding flashing files via recovery, I usually extract the files and place them in the correct directory with the right permissions. Usually most files use 0644 permissions, but I would first check the existing permissions with ES File Explorer.
Hello @Nowak4G and @mu3g,
Guys thank you for your response. I can confirm that the seller I bought the phone from took the 10l upgrade. I have little to no experience rooting locked bootloader phones, and I have to be honest, I am more confused than I have the answers. Now that I have confirmed that I will end up with 10l update, can you guys give me a noob boost and give me step by step on how to root, Xposed, and possibly back up my stock image, since I do NOT want to end up with the PR build, with the green dot, in case things go wrong?
Am I correct that the right answer to my problem is, Low Effort Root with the floating 10l rooted img file, located here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B54ceS-n3ZAiaVAxMkJFLXNMYmM/view?pli=1
Please help me out guys, would even appreciate more if we can maybe connect on Google Hangouts for some dynamic help? Please let me know and thank you again for your wonderful so far !
Yes, exactly. Use the floating around 10I rootedsystem.img with the Low Effort Root instructions. But definitely keep a unrooted system.img on the internal storage as a backup. Instructions are in the LER thread. Just read carefully and follow the steps and you should be fine. All copy and pasting.
You have the correct 10I rooted system img file. I would recommend following the LER steps and backing up the system image for 10I (see post 2 of the LER thread). This would give you the stock image for later use. Then follow the LER steps to the dot using the rooted system image file you have from the google drive link. The LER thread has pretty clear instructions on backup and flashing system image files for the G4. Just make sure to rename your downloaded file as "system.rooted.h81010i.img" and use it in the command...the file name here is the most important!
Thank you guys, couple of follow up questions:
1. Do I run the backup command to copy my Non Rooted image, right after the step that gives us the DIAG Port Number? Or do I do it after the "id" step?
2. The generated back up, I assume will be done as an .img file in the root of my phone, correct? I assume I just back this up on my computer and/or External HD?
3. This is the scariest step. When I am running the step for flashing the rooted img, I need to rename the downloaded file to, "system.rooted.h81010i.img" as @mu3g recommended? Why not, "system.rooted.h81010m.img" for example?
4. I just use the exact file name we determined above for my downloaded rooted 10l image file, in the flash command when following the LER guide? Exactly that file name, correct?
Thank you again for all your help and excuse me for my continuous noobness!
Answers:
1. Run the backup command in Step 7 of the LER root ("Run the command specified in the section below titled 'Commands to Run' to flash the rooted system image.") <<---replace the commands to run with the command to backup your unrooted clean system image to your internal memory ---- if you compare the commands, it will become obvious on how the data is being moved (pushed or pulled from the phone).
2. The generated backup will be on the root of the internal memory of the phone. Yes, you can then move it to your computer or any other location for safekeeping AFTER you've booted your phone up properly - don't do any of this while you're still in the LER state.
3. I just gave you a recommendation on the name..you can name the rooted system image file whatever you want - you can even leave it as the way it is....just make sure to use the EXACT file name for the image in the commands to run (also 10I, 10M etc. are software version numbers..I'm not aware of a 10M version being released for AT&T. In any case, just use the EXACT file name for the rooted image.
Thank you @mu3g! I think I am now ready to go through the process myself with confidence.
I am, however, still a bit confused about the file name of the rooted image that I will be flashing. If the phone already has 10l installed, and I leave the name of the rooted image intact, that is, "system.rooted.h81010l" would the phone still accept/get tricked into, thinking that it's getting an "update"? Or did you mean that the file name could literally be anything like, "filename.img" and if the commands match it, all will be installed correctly? As in, when the system boots, it will have all the correct build and software information with it being a 10l update and etc?
Please forgive the annoying, detailed questions, but I want to not mess this up, since every guide triple emphasizes the importance of the command being absolutely right! Thank you!
You can literally name it blahblahblah.img as long as you use blahblahblah.img in the commands to run for the rooted system image. The file naming scheme has nothing to do with the acceptance or rejection of a system image. When you're in the bootloader mode ready to download files (which is the mode for LER), you can inject any file into any partition, anywhere on the phone...it's just whether the phone can use it or not properly and whether or not it ends up being a brick
Your file name for the system has nothing to do with the build number showing on the phone after booting up.
EDIT: The only reason I gave you that file naming scheme is because you don't seem to be too comfortable with the command line, thats all..that way you could copy paste the command from the LER guide and just replace "g" with "i" - that's all..if you're good with the command line and careful, you'll be fine..just make sure the file name is correct..you can't get much else wrong.
Understood brother, just needed that clarity. I am not an absolute noob with cmd line, but you know how it goes when you're rooting your phone, the perpetual fear of an expensive paperweight!
I cannot find the thanks button here, wish I could, so I could thank you over and over and @Nowak4G, but either way, thank you so so much @mu3g!!
good luck!
How did it go? Were you able to go through with it?
While the green dot does usually appear on 810 phones running the PR KDZ, I have heard reports of it on some 815 ...its pretty random. I just did a warranty exchange for my 810 so I will likely be staying on the ATT software.
Hi Guys, wanted to update this thread with my results...:
I successfully rooted on H810l (AT&T) with 0 issues, following the Low Effort Root. Per the recommendations of the process, I also backed up my Stock, Unrooted, .img file for restoration to Stock, if it were needed. Well, I might be moving on from this phone and need to return to stock. Can someone advise the exact steps/commands to return to stock using the unrooted .img file I backed up before pushing the rooted .img? And can you confirm that you did this successfully as well?
I would really appreciate it! Thank you!
I have not done it myself, but if you uninstall all your root apps completely, make sure to enable any and every disabled app you may have (like for example AT&T apps etc.) using the debloater software and then follow LER to install the stock image on it, it should come back to bone stock. Remember, the key here to to ensure that no root apps exist on the phone - I guess SU will get wiped out, but its better to do it clean. And secondly, any disabled apps need to be re-enabled for a smooth process. These are just my $0.02...so proceed with caution.

Hipstreet Flare stuck in factory settings

I have an older Hipstreet Flare (1) HS-9DTB4-8GB which worked fine for the past years. And before someone says it; yes, some might consider it as a China knockoff.
The device is rooted by default. I can for example write files into / via ADB. A few weeks ago I tried to install busybox but it ended up in a loop. So I deinstalled it and could continue working.
Next time I booted all was in Chinese, with the main screen having no icons (links to) apps. In the secondary app menu only default apps were there, none of those I installed over the years. Still the SD card directory (is all internal though) was unaffected.
Listing the file system of the underlying Linux showed most files with a date stamp of 2-1-1970 and a few with 2013, the year I purchased it. I still could create files there via ADB. Could also install apps and set it to English again. But the next time I booted all this was forgotten (apps and files I created gone and it was in Chinese again).
I used volume-up and the power button to get into the (what ever you call it) and selected "wipe data". Rebooted, set it to English and rebooted again. But again it came back in Chinese. Same when I used the menu "Backup/Restore".
Assuming the firmware (rom?) was damaged I was also contacting the Hipstreet support. Who were friendly but also only told me to wipe the data into factory reset. But I did this already several times, see above. They also couldn't help with firmware.
Before I throw it away. Does anyone has any idea what I could to? May be with suggestions taking in account I am a Linux user on my PC (no Windows or Mac installed here)?
Does anyone know if phones (like this) store a copy of the firmware somewhere? If, what's the file name? default.prop?
Thanks you.
