Not sure if you've seen it, but LG open source site has the source code on it already. Since I'm a new member, I can't link to it, but if you search on google for LG Open Source, you should be able to find it.

custom roms for the LG Ls840
I just obtained my LG Viper and have currently rooted the device. I was curious to know if there is any speculation on upcoming custom roms for it, or if there are other roms out there for other devices which will run on the viper>>>

LG Viper Stock Firmware
Please give a copy of stock firmware that I can flash with the stock recovery, I really need it because my phone's bricked!

link is dead. Can you post new link?

do you have a good link for lg viper rom please

compare to LG Revolution, I'd prefer Viper.
dead link on .tot file, could someone re-upload the file please

Unfortunately we still don't have a stable cwm....its being worked on though...many including myself have bricked their viper...and although we have the .tot there's no .dll...i finally came up with a working recovery unbrick method including system and sprint apps...

I see there isn't much happening on the Viper front. My only question is if anybody knows if this device tethers through BT PAN? The profile is listed but I'm not having any luck. Should I root and go through a tether app?

At least we got ics! Hopefully now a recovery and custom rom get built and we can get this show on the road.

Updated: Unbrick and/or manual ics install

I haven't bought the phone yet but I did some research and found 2 methods but none on english :S

German - http://www.android-hilfe.de/5684068-post10.html
I tryed to translate the German text via Google, here it goes...
-Download first the files

-So you can very easy to flash the patched recovery
Here we go:
-Idol connected on the PC (USB debug mode must be active) and install drivers if needed
-(Must be quick startup disabled) SPFlash run tools, Scatter file and then load cwm recovery to download press idol off
-Idol on the Pc connected (the drivers are installed automatically)
-The SPflashTools will now flash the Cwm recovery. If a green circle appears everything went well.
-Unplug the cable, run MTKDroidTools.
-Switch on with Power & Volume + and simultaneously connect the smartphone to the PC
-Once this is recognized (as comic characters will appear, but everything is ok), go to "root, backup, recovery and super user click on it that can be installed.
-The display during the root process remains dark all the time with me. So do not panic
-Unplug the cable, wait a minute and long press on the power button until the logo appears idol
-I had to update suspersu (after first boot) ... but is normal.
-You can also make a backup, although that will not be complete. Important is the boot.img and recovery.img are here.
-caution: After a reboot the CWM recovery is overwritten by the stock recovery. Personally, I would leave it there so far is no 100% functional recovery
The idol is now rooted
The CWM and TWRP recovery is not 100% functional. The Custpack partitions get no support.
edit
With Mtk Droid Root Tools & backup works fine)
Hope I helped Cant wait to get the phone, just 20 days to go...

Edit: Forgot to say, this is for 6030D but it will maybe work on the other two models... Hopefully

Please check the scatter file maybe it's incorrect. Try re-creating it once again. The Cusotm Recovery has to be smaller or equal than the recovery partition size in the scatter file.

Finallx got the phone! It's so cool! Love the slim box and it's sooo fast! Anyway, i read something about the phone losing the DRM licence after root. Now, what does this DRM licence do and can we use this phone normally without it? As much as i got it, this has something to do with the licences for the apps...

After losing DRM, you can lose GSM signal all the way, I do not want to play with it...
@H377
Are we losing DRM after rooting?
Is that tutorial for 6030X also?
Does stock recovery owerwrite custom cwm (which we need to install) after rooting/rebooting?

Hi,
I still can use all the features on the phone after root, so I'm not quite sure if we loose anything. Still can play videos, MP3s, so all the apps work. Haven't noticed anything yet.
I think you can root the 6030X also with this procedure just be sure that you use your own scatter file extracted from your own phone. Then you cannot really mess anything up.
If you flash the stock recovery to the phone after rooting it will definitely overwrite the custom one. So normally it doesn't overwrite it automatically only if you manually flash it.

So I need to download stock recovery with flash tool, to flash after rooting?
Also, cwm recovery in tutorial is good, no need to mod any other recovery, just to use scatter which I made with MTK?

It depends on:
If you have rooted the phone you can leave the custom CWM on it no need to reflash the stock recovery. But if you want to you can flash the stock back. It's all up to you.

I'm asking because I do not need cwm for now, just need root and everything else to be stock... Thanks, I will try this method...

Confused
Hello,
I am confused on this part of the steps:
6. Press 2 Download
7. Once pressed connect the terminal to the pc "OFF"
I press download, on the step 7. does that mean connect the USB cable from the PC to the phone? What does it mean by "OFF"?
After I press Download and have the USB cable plugged into the phone with the phone on and unlocked nothing happens Please help!
(USB Debugging enabled, device is listed in adb devices, and I can access storage and SD card)

Install any drivers, okay?
Select only the recovery in flashtools. Tighten download. Then connect the phone off the usb. The flash will install the recovery. Then see if the recovery has been successfully installed. And install the root by recovery.

Drivers installed ok. I selected only recovery in flashtools, and clicked download, and then plugged in USB.
Should I use USB debugging?
Should I use "USB Storage" or "Media device (MTP)" or "Camera (PTP)"?
Thank you!

Got it!
I figured it out
Here's the steps I did:
1. Install ADB from here rubenalamina.mx/download/525/
2. Install drivers provided in the original post here.
3. Reboot PC.
4. Open command prompt with administrator privileges, and type: cd c:\adb
5. Then type: adb devices
6. Open flashtool provided in the original post here.
7. Select scatter file as described in the post here, and clicked download.
8. While flash tool is running the "download", plug in phone with USB cable and restart the phone and it will work, with an OK window at the end like described in the original post here.
9. Unplug the USB cable, reboot phone and hold volume up key as described in original post.
10. Install SuperSU as described in the original post here.
DONE!

Anyone try this successfully?

Thanks for the guide.

It worked for me smoothly, many thanks!

Nope, no impact on data.
Actually you don't see a difference except that root apps ask for permission (SuperSU pops up)
Btw: I just installed supersu via recovery, not busybox as described sometimes.
Sucessfully did it just yesterday.

Bluboo Xtouch doesn`t turn on after trying root
Hi,
After I've tried to root nothing happened on the flashing tool, so I've tried pressing volume up + power button and my pc just did a sound of plugin a cable and nothing happened in my phone, so I've tried to turn my phone on and it didn't work. I've tried pressing a lot of combinations trying to turn it on with no success. Can someone help me? I don't know what to do anymore since my battery is no removable.

/system/xbin/su how to remove this
Hi
I'm trying to install a enterprise app but during the install I got a "policy violation", because my device is considered rooted, since under /system/xbin there is a "su" file.
I already did a upgrade to last version from (room) Jan 12th 2016, but the /system/xbin/su persists... I think this is because it is a maufacturer built room from Bluboo but the true is I'm unbale to install the enterprise app. I already try to delete / rename/ move the su file, but I don't have permissions...
I don't want to root the device.... maybe install an official "android 5.1" but I'm afraid to do it, and I don't know how to do it...
so anybody have a suggestion how to fix this issue ?
Many thanks

[C2304] Installing TWRP or CWM recovery in the Xperia C

Well, I just purchased this device and came here after that to look at what we had and I'm disgusted.
And there are several reasons for that, being:
1 - Locked Bootloader...
2 - This forum seems somewhat abandoned, which leads it to be somewhat disorganized.
EdiT:
Thanks to our friend repey6 > http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=5704037
TWRP 2.8.7.0 is now included, and it works just ok, with all functionality.
I strongly recommend you to use it instead of any other recovery. Just make sure to backup your ROM again after installing it, as CWM or Carliv backups won't work in TWRP.
I replaced the old TWRP included in the attachments with the new one provided by repey6, but the installation process remains the same.
Plus, this was not created by me and it's mad old (2014). But still it works better than the Carliv Recovery we have available here...
So Let's go. The proccess is the same for both, just choose the recovery image you want in the end of the topic.
(almost forgot to say that if your phone bricks it's you responsibility, I tested it in mine and it is working fine)
STEPS:
STEP1- Root your phone (if it's not rooted yet).
To root your phone you'll need to:
a-Download the framaroot APK provided in the attachments
b-Install it then click in the Boromir option and the su binary will be installed.
c-Download SuperSU from google play store.
That's all, simple like that.
STEP2- Check your bootloader's S1 Version
a-Open your dialer and input *#*#7378423#*#* , then go to Service Info>Software Info> S1 Boot Version.
b- Check if yours is 2.14.J.2.6 or 2.14.J.2.13 or 2.14.J.2.16 . If yours is one of these go ahead, it should work just fine and you can proceed.
If yours is 2.14.J.0.68 do not proceed, as it will 100% brick your phone.
c- My phone has S1 Boot Version 2.14.J.1.15 and in spite of the developer having not mentioned anything about it, I risked it all and my phone flashed the recovery normally, so if your version is also 2.14.J.1.15, it should work just fine and you can proceed.
STEP3 - Install the recovery
NOW, BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL HERE, OTHERWISE YOU WILL HARD BRICK YOUR PHONE:
a-Download the mobileuncle.apk file provided in the attachments and install it.
b-Download the twrp_xperia_C.img file provided below and put it in your internal memory (not on the external). Rename it to recovery.img, otherwise mobile uncle won't see it.
Now, here's the part you have to mind, so you won't brick your phone.
Mobile uncle can install a recovery using one of two methods. One is by installing the image from your internal memory (which we'll be doing). Other is installing it from the internet.
Now, YOU DON'T WANT to install a recovery from the internet, as mobile uncle doesn't provide any image for your device. So if you flash any of these recoveries, you'll never be able to make your phone boot again.
See in the image below and you'll get what I mean:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
c - So, before proceeding TURN OFF YOUR WIFI AND DATA CONNECTIONS so that mobile uncle won't show any recovery from internet
d-Open mobile uncle.
e-Grant Super User
f-Press "Recovery Update"
g- With wifi turned off, you'll see only your recovery in the screen
h- Click it, the file size of the file I'm posting must be around 6MB ( 6210KB for CWM), if it's different cancel and download file again.
i- press ok and restart.
DONE
:good:
EDIT:
I just noticed that after flashing the recovery you might get your phone stuck in the SONY logo after it.
In fact it happened to me, but just once.
If that happens don't panick. Recove the cover of your phone and besides the SIM-2 slot you'll see a tiny role with the word "reset". Insert a needle in there and your phone will restart normally.

Thanks for the guide! Does this also work on the C2305 model, or is it strictly for C2304?

It should work in both, I'm using a recovery for C2305 in my C2304.
Just don't try flashing a C2305 ROM on your C2304. It will not hardbrick your phonw, but the SIM cards will not work and you will get a mad functioning phones.
Some custom ROM's based on stock firmware work in both though.

Hey anyone tried for xc 2305???

So my S1 bootloader version is: 2.14.J.0.68. Is it for sure there is nothing that can be done?

Sorry for the late reply! Haven't been able to test this until recently due to an issue getting my PC to work properly with my phone. Anyway, I would like to confirm that I was able to flash this on my Xperia C2305 that had S1 Boot Version 2.14.J.0.68. The photo below is proof of CWM running on my Xperia C2305:
Things you will need:
WMShua SuperFlash: http://soft.flushrom.com/WMShuaSetup.exe (after installing, you can change the language to English by renaming Program Files/wmshua/language to Program Files/wmshua/language_x)
Xperia C 16.0.B.2.16 FTF: C2305_16.0.B.2.16_TacoNikky.ftf or C2305_16.0.B.2.16_Congngheviet.ftf (pick one; I used TacoNikky's version)
Procedure:
1. Open WMShua, then click on Flash (not Super Flash). Browse to the FTF file you downloaded. You can choose to backup system before flash (I unchecked it on mine). Follow the screenshot below for guidance:
2. Turn off your phone. Next, hold down the Vol- (volume down) button on your phone. While holding down, plug in the micro USB cable. The LED will flash red. When it changes to green, release the Vol- button. WMShua should automatically try to install the needed drivers. After installing drivers, it will begin the flashing process. If your phone turns on instead, simply unplug it from the USB, turn it off, then try again.
The flash process may take a long time (it took 30+ minutes for me), and sometimes it may look like it hanged, but it's actually working. Just be patient. Once it reaches 100%, your phone will automatically boot up. Check your S1 Boot Version—it should now be 2.14.J.2.16. You may find that you've lost root, so you will need to root it again (I use KingoRoot). After rooting, follow the instructions on the first post to install CWM or TWRP. Good luck!

How to Install Custom ROM on any Android Device
CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED CYANOGENMOD ON YOUR TABLET!​huge thanks to DavidRGX for making this custom ROM

First of all, big thanks, it worked without any bugs.
However, it's honestly going slower for me than the stock rom, system it's taking up to 750mb of ram which is way worse than in stock rom even with a bunch of moderately heavy apps like youtube, and a faster even if marginally rom it's exactly the point here, do you know what might be causing it?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...iple-swap-space-in-cache-data-system.2145133/
Would that work with this tablet and rom?, i have a working backup so i'm not trying to be a toxic dude who's blaming you for my own irresponsability.
By the way, i had apps moved into external sd in stock rom, they don't show up in apps manager right now as it was expected, but could that be causing some kind of conflict?
cheers mate!

Ok, for anyone having issues with the ram, scroll down this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/cyanogenmod-12-1-lenovo-tab-3-710f-unofficial.3771079/
There`s a patch for the ram memory leak with instructions, it works

I am unable to boot in TWRP after flashing it through SP tool. It bootloops and start in stock rom after that it shows stock recover
