I got aa notification for an update for 5.1 so I did it and everything went smoothly on my boost Mobile moto g but now the home button does not work. Ican slide it up to get to Google now but home stopped working completely. I have to use back button it close apps to get home.
Also external links no longer work and it seems to lock phone when I click one until I push the back button. Also occasionally the Mobile ID thing crashes on me. Not sure what that means .
Any help is appreciated, I've been searching for answers for a week and nothing
Thanks

mine was in 5.1 and that didn't happen, are you rooted? if so, try to backup all your data and try resetting to factory, because otherwise that's a very weird case...
It was completely stock from the box prior. All I did was run the boost Mobile update from check for updates
Same here.
I'm installed Euphoria-OS (based on Android 5.1.1) and now I don't get notifications, I cannot change apps and my home button stopped to work.
update:
I tried the Cabron rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-carbonrom-t3211516) and home button now works. But i don't know why...
So can I root 5.1 ?and install a new rom?

Of course you can.
Unlock your bootloader, flash TWRP, then flash SuperSU.

Factory reset
try to do Factory reset....its happen when gapps messed up
Factory reset fixed problems. Thanks a million guys ! Gonna try to root it now since its all reset now anyway
Hello there. I have had the same problem. The way to solve it (temporarily until the next time) is to go to users, and log into guest, then log out (by going to users again in the guest account and pressing 'remove guest'). This resets the functionality of your home key in your regular account.
Restart your system ui. If you have root access get rom toolbox. You can then add a rebooter widget on home screen. I have the same issue on all kernels I have tested so far. Hope it helps.

I am running 5.1 and found today that when I pressed my Home button, it did not take me home. I didn't want to reset my phone, and your answer solved the problem for me, so you made my day !
When I chose Guest, it restarted my phone and logged me in with my account, not a Guest account, but the Home button works normally now.
THANK YOU. :victory:

I had to reset my phone because it was making random phone calls and now has spammed all my Gmail contacts. I have like 3 apps. They are automatically restored. Should I remove all apps? Also, is there anyway to scan my phone and confirm malware removed?
just flash a clean ROM into the phone with fastboot, or nandroid, or odin
You could do the factory oem lock and unlock to clean the system. This will fully erase the system and sdcard.
not if it's a hacked ROM with Warez build in

could you answer my pm-s please?
Seems like he's not running any custom roms.
Just resetting/wipe from the privacy menu in settings.
When your phone boots back up, SKIP the gmail login. That will prevent market apps to auto reinstall.
Now when it's some booting, go to menu/settings/accounts and add your Gmail.
You can install Lookout Mobile from the market, it is a very good malware scanning app. Anytime you download and install an app it will scan it and tell u if it's ok or not.

Thank's a ton. I appreciate it.
I use antivirus free, but most anti virus, or security app will do the job.
If your phone is making random calls, try updating to the latest gingerbread.
Also I read on other android forums regarding other phones where someone had similar issues with their phones randomly dialing. It turns out to be a bluetooth headset issue for them. My mom's Nexus S had the same issue too. I got her a new headset and she hasn't complained about it since. I've also updated her phone to 2.3.3 as well, so may want to try those 2 options.

Currently I am running the Hyperdrive ROM 13.0.0 and today my phone is really acting up. The power button is unresponsive. I am not sure if this is a hardware issue or what. It just randomly became unresponsive. When I try to boot into recovery or download mode, the screen will pop up for literally one second and then the phone will cut off. So booting into recovery and/or download mode is a no go. The only way I can get it to boot all the way back up is if I pull the battery out and then put it back in and then hold the volume down button and the home button and then quickly hit volume down to cancel the download mode operation and then the phone restarts and reboots all the way.
Also, when trying to send text messages, it always says failed to send message and yet the message still goes through because the person I am texting always responds to the message that supposedly failed.
I was wanting to update to Hyperdrive 16 but now I just want to restore my phone to working order. Any help would be so greatly appreciated!

Incoming call volume ringer not working
I had previously had the RLS15 rom and it worked great for about a month then all of a sudden my ringer stopped working. Every other sound works. My notifications and media works just fine. So i was forced to flash back to stock rom. I was really disappointed because i love this rom. Then when the RLS16 rom came out i was really hoping this would fix my issue but it didnt. I really dont want to go back to another rom to have my ringer volume work again.

Tablet/Phablet Mode
Currently running RLS16 and it's running great!!!! Just curious on how I can get the phone to do a tablet mode and/or phablet since there's no hybrid settings baked into the ROM yet. Any help would be apprectiated.
hyperdrive rls16
Have a Verizon Galaxy S3 and followed Roms install instructions: 1.Download latest Hyperdrive Rom version Rls 16
2. Reboot into Recovery
3. Wipe Data/Factory Reset twice
4. Wipe cache and dalvik cache
5. Install Rom
6. Reboot.
But when phone reboots it loads and gets to the language screen and then will reboot and will do that over and over. Have tried it several times and same result did not have that problem with Rls 15. Any Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
GPS Fails to Lock (SCH-I535)
First of all, thank you to SBreen for your hard work on this ROM!
I just updated to RLS16 (standard kernel) hoping that it would fix my GPS and google Maps issues, but no luck so far. Below are the methods I have tried in my attempt to fix the GPS:
1) Clean ROM install (four times) including formatting all user/system data, wiping Dalvik cache, etc.
2) Fix Permissions from Clockwork Recovery (countless times)
3) Clearing all app data for google applications, including deleting velvet.apk from system and re-installing through the play store (and using standalone .apks)
4) Tightening the screws on the back of my S3
5) Enabling all location service providers
6) Removing Hyperdrive and restoring to the original ROM (yuck!) restores GPS functionality, so I know it's not physically broken.
I love everything about this ROM with the sole exception of the lack of GPS functionality. Google Maps is currently unusable, and GPS Status will run for hours without acquiring a lock, even with the phone in a stationary position in high-reception areas.
Any help on this issue is greatly appreciated, thanks!
After flashing, were you able to let the phone sit for 5-10 minutes before rebooting and setting it up? I found this crucial to getting the GPS to work...

Wifi Automatically turning on
So far so good on rls16. Its great work, and I am digging all the great features and customization options. Performance is smooth. One issue though, which has plagued me on rls15 as well...
My WiFi keeps automatically turning itself on. It happens when the screen is off and has been sitting on my desk for a while, also happens while I am using it. I believe it is supposed to turn on and then off when downloading mms data, but that is not the case here. It wouldn't be an issue, except it is connecting me to the open network here in my office, which I need to sign into on a web interface every time I connect. The WiFi signal is very, very poor so I prefer not to connect. Any ideas?
Thanks!
RLS16 problem
I have been using rls15 with no problem except for the initial install with the Samsung activation. I love your builds they really bring out the capabilities of the device. I updated to RLS16 and the activation problem came back and also I'm now having sms problems. It works well for so long then it starts returning messages saying they failed. I've flashed and wiped 4 times before the install of rom and have tried to install the fix. Still no solution. Any advice? I'm also using att i747
Boot Animation
First, I would like to congratulate you for this wonderful ROM.
Only trouble is; unable to customize the boot animation. I've tried a few applications, but none were successful.

Hello guys,
Very frequently when there are several apps to update on play store, nothing happens and I have to stop then start the update all process again. Then it updates two or so, then nothing again and I have to stop and press update all again...
Anyone know what's going on?

I had these error a couple of months ago, it appeared without any apparent cause. I managed to fix it uninstalling all the Play Store updates (rolling back to the stock version) and wiping app cache & data. After this, rebooted and updated the Play Store again and the error never came back.
Hope it helps
Just to let you guys know that I returned the phone to GiffGaff and it was accepted for replacement (they had to, since it was still under the first 14 days). I already have the new phone and no problems so far.

I paid less than $10 US dollars for this phone and rooting it isn't high on my priority list, however rooting the damn thing has presented a bit of a challenge.

Hey so i spent forever trying ro find a root that would work on this. Or a custom ROM anything really. Try going into McAfee Security, setting up an account, go to settings and disable the lock down device option. That was the problem for me at least McAfee was blocking any root from installing. From there i rooted my lucky with kingroot one click root. Hope this helps!
The Easiest Way To Root Your LG Lucky Without a PC
Easy way to install SuperSU on your LG Lucky
Just follow directions
Use KingRoot 4.5.0 app - google KingRoot apk all versions. Download and install apk.
Google replace kingroot with supersu. There will be a few sites popup, Mediafire is where the original .zip file is hosted. You can even search "how to replace/remove kingroot with supersu" here on XDA for more info.
Once you have downloaded the .zip file be sure to extract it to your INTERNAL sd, the script in the zip will not work from your external sd.
Open the extracted file and copy the mrw file to the internal storage, the path should look like /storage/emulated/0/mrw.
Now go to the play store, download and install Terminal Emulator. I use the one by Jack Palevich as it is only 551kb and easy to use.
Open the terminal emulator and type "su" in order to grant super user permission to the emulator,
On the next line type "/system/bin/sh - /storage/emulated/0/mrw/root.sh" and press enter.
Now the script will run and open up SuperSU automatically. Install binary when prompted with the "normal" option. Choose yes when it asks if you want to delete other superuser apps. (this removes kingroot).
Before rebooting phone, go into the settings of SuperSU and enable pro mode, change icon if you wish, enable survival mode, enable su during boot. I think you have to restart app at this point, can't remember as I did this months ago. Then restart the SuperSU app, go back into settings to Install SuperSU into system. Reboot phone,
When phone reboots, this is when Kingroot is finally uninstalled. Your phone will still be rooted with SuperSU. At this point you may wish to update SuperSU as this is version 2.46 and the newest version is 2.71 Beta. You can get the newest version of SuperSU from the thread here on XDA.
(thanks MrWolf for the script to make the change and thank you Chainfire for SuperSU, FlashFire, CF.lumen, etc...)
LGL-16C successfully (so far) rooted using Kingoroot.exe (latest version). Had to change from mtp to camera on USB then was recognized. Have SuperSU 2.72, SuperSU Pro, BusyBox Pro, and Xposed installed with Xblast and Lucky Patcher running. No custom recovery or roms available and I have searched hi and lo. Was a Net10 $15 phone with nothing to lose, so...will try more stuff out another day and post again.

Hi. Could you tell me how you installed supersu after rooting with kingroot? Thanks
Well I have root and supersu installed but it won't update binary. Any help out there? Thanks
Hey everybody. I did it!! Just root with kingroot 4.5 and replace kinguser with super sume. Worked great. All kingroot stuff is gone!! Ive rebooted 3 times to make sure and all is good.
Well if anyone is interested in looking at the source code, lg support has downloads available for nearly every phone they've ever made.
http://opensource.lge.com/osList/list?m=Mc001&s=Sc002
The file for the LGL16C is on page 2. Every thing seems to be listed alphabetically so it's easy to locate.
I still have my lucky and actually use it often although I no longer have it activated.
@ cecnwv,
Thanks for the link. Using Ares 11 and got "IP banned for 6 hours,try again later" after dbl tppng yellow icon. I did something wrong. Not at my PC. (unfortunately)
Thanks for any enlightenment,

Two 10a LGL16C Tracfones, one free (recon from Tf) and one new $14.95 @ eBay from Best Buy, rooted with everything that has Google in the name frozen (TB) but no image to restore. (twrp)
Has anyone made a complete backup of their system apps using Titanium Backup? Being that one can't use fastboot/download mode (this phone has it locked out and a special USB cable is required) so my backup options were limited. I thought I did a full backup with Titanium Backup, but apparently lost it as I only found a small partial one on my PC.
Issue is I had uninstalled some bloatware and integrated updates for a few apps. But after factory resetting the phone it is behaving a bit odd. The notification bar doesn't really work anymore (apps still able to use sound/vibration to make a notification, but nothing appears in the notification bar) and I am unable to call the phone because it never rings and it immediately goes to voice mail. So the phone app is borked too.
Plus soft button to the right of the home button (I forget what it's called) doesn't bring up the app history anymore so I can't close background apps. (the volume buttons also don't really do anything anymore. Normally using them causes the volume bar for ringtone to appear and if using a media app, the volume bar for media audio comes up instead. But now nothing happens).
The phone is in a pretty broken state and even doing app updates from Play Store doesn't work anymore. Was gonna try and look around if someone has some app/data backup of the system apps installed. This is a TracFone branded phone and is currently running Android 4.4.2 (Kernel version 3.4.0+). Which is the last Android update they made for this phone.
Perhaps there's a single service/app that is responsible for notifications/volume bar that is borked. But I have no idea which system app is broken so a full app restore is my next best option.
The first thing wrong I noticed after resetting it was that the intial setup screen would return everytime I rebooted the phone. (only way i could get that to stop was freezing it in Titanium Backup). So maybe related to that app somehow. I don't recall ever uninstalling/merging update data for that perticular app though so it's probably a side effect of a different app going haywire.
EDIT:
Ok looks like I resolved the issue. I just removed the LGStartupWizard.apk then did a factory reset via Volume Down+Power button combo. It boots straight to home menu now and everything works. I guess the LG setup wizard thing got borked somehow. No more setup wizard but verious things like google account and whatnot can be configured manually via settings so no real loss.
All the missing things like the app history button, lock screen, notification bar, etc are now working as a result of resetting after removing LGSetupWizard.apk.

Has anyone made a complete backup of their system apps using Titanium Backup? Being that one can't use fastboot/download mode (this phone has it locked out and a special USB cable is required) so my backup options were limited. I thought I did a full backup with Titanium Backup, but apparently lost it as I only found a small partial one on my PC.
Issue is I had uninstalled some bloatware and integrated updates for a few apps. But after factory resetting the phone it is behaving a bit odd. The notification bar doesn't really work anymore (apps still able to use sound/vibration to make a notification, but nothing appears in the notification bar) and I am unable to call the phone because it never rings and it immediately goes to voice mail. So the phone app is borked too.
Plus soft button to the right of the home button (I forget what it's called) doesn't bring up the app history anymore so I can't close background apps. (the volume buttons also don't really do anything anymore. Normally using them causes the volume bar for ringtone to appear and if using a media app, the volume bar for media audio comes up instead. But now nothing happens).
The phone is in a pretty broken state and even doing app updates from Play Store doesn't work anymore. Was gonna try and look around if someone has some app/data backup of the system apps installed. This is a TracFone branded phone and is currently running Android 4.4.2 (Kernel version 3.4.0+). Which is the last Android update they made for this phone.
Perhaps there's a single service/app that is responsible for notifications/volume bar that is borked. But I have no idea which system app is broken so a full app restore is my next best option.
The first thing wrong I noticed after resetting it was that the intial setup screen would return everytime I rebooted the phone. (only way i could get that to stop was freezing it in Titanium Backup). So maybe related to that app somehow. I don't recall ever uninstalling/merging update data for that perticular app though so it's probably a side effect of a different app going haywire.

Awesome, this worked for me too, though the issue wasn't exactly the same. When I got the phone it had already been rooted with Kingo at some point and I noticed after resetting it that I had similar problems (it may have had the issues before the factory reset too, I just didn't notice one way or the other). Anyway, I was getting slightly different misbehavior. No recents key, yes, but also no response from the Home key. Pull-down notifications bar was mostly working, but with no visible notifications and I couldn't press the Setup "gear" in top right. My volume buttons and Play Store were fine, though, but I'd noticed that when I tried further factory resets (from the menu, not via hard reset) that it wasn't "really" resetting, as any downloaded files/etc. remained on the phone. I'd tried freezing LGSetupWizard already, but as you noted, that doesn't fix it for whatever reason. Deleting altogether does. Yay. I do wonder what the hell is happening during the root or reset that triggers this problem, though. It behaves as if Setup Wizard was just never completed, so you remain "locked out" of most of the same functions that are unavailable during setup normally. Oh well.
Anyway, as old ten-dollars-or-less type phones go, this isn't the worst I've ever used by a long shot. Heck, it's arguably better than a few other slightly bigger/newer/pricier crap-phones out there! (Looking at you, ZTE Legacy/Quest...) FWIW, I had "ripped" all of the APKs from /system/app and /priv-app for some reason back when I first got this thing, so if they'd be of use to anyone I'll be happy to upload all or individual files. Hell, if anyone can tell me how to do a full ROM dump I'd be happy to do that too, because there's definitely still no official stock image available online that I could find a trace of. (Granted, I don't know if there'd be any way to utilize a non-official backup image anyway or turn it into a flashable KDZ, but that's not my point...)
Thank you, I got my lucky rooted! I'm wondering if anyone ever found any custom ROMs or recoveries for this device. It seems like this was never popular for any of that, but thought I'd ask. Thanks.
