[Q] LG Ignite (AS855) = Optimus Black = Marquee?

Alaska Communication Systems' newest offering, the LG Ignite (AS855) seems to be a device of many names.
As I seek out a ROM for this phone that will meet the "special" tethering needs of my Transformer Prime (TF201), I want to make sure that I proceed appropriately.
There seems to be next to nothing posted online about root, ROM etc for the LG Ignite.
1. Is this device identical to the LG Marquee and/or LG Optimus Black?
2. Since ROM Manager does not have a ClockworkMod Recovery for this device yet, what is the best way to safely install a custom ROM?
3. I am looking for a ROM that will provide native infrastructure WiFi broadcasting capability, any suggestions?
Here are some more specific specs:
Model Number
LG-AS855
Android Version
2.3.4
Baseband Version
AS855ZV2-M6600A-SCAUTSZ-3.0.40T
Kernel Version
2.6.35.7
[email protected] #1
Build Number
GRJ22
SW Version
AS855ZV2
HW Version
Rev 1.0
SCR Version
AS855ZV2_ACS

Looks like it's Marquee super-twin brother
it runs on CDMA right ?

Yep. ACS runs a CDMA network up here... I didn't see any Marquee resources in the XDA Developers forums... I'm trying to be a good noob and phrase the right question in the right place...
If I could find a resource for Marquee's I could explore any existing information on WiFi/BT tethering there....
I'm sure the native wireless hotspot feature would probably work just fine if I paid the $20 additional per month to activate it; but since I've been able to successfully tether several other mobiles without provider activation, I thought it was too soon to give up on the Ignite/Marquee.
The weird thing is, I am able to successfully tether any windows-based device using WiFi Tether 3.0 v.11, but it won't show up in my list of networks on the TF201... I've read a few things that say this is because ICS doesn't work with ad hoc WiFi tethering, but even when tethering to a laptop the Ignite has always given a "ad hoc connection failed" alert when tethering ... So it's not overlooking it because it is broadcasting in ad hoc...

Seems To be same as Optimus Black and Marquee
CDMA
http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-AS855-ignite
US version GSM
http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-LG855-marquee
EUROPE version GSM
http://www.lg.com/uk/mobile-phones/all-lg-phones/LG-android-mobile-phone-P970.jsp
But i think you need different kernel version for CDMA

I have an AS855 with a different carrier but at all specs match yours. I used SuperOneClick to root mine.
Still no custom recovery for it that I can find. Probably won't find any ROMS until there's a recovery for it. I read somewhere that the Black, Marquee and Ignite are not the same when it comes to the boot and recovery partitions.

Craptorman,
I have the same specs as well. Is yours by chance Alltel? Ive tried everything I can to root, including SuperOneClick and to no avail. SOC just stops responding? Did you do anything special?

No not Altell, just a small local telephone coop carrier. First make sure you have the USB drivers etc loaded and have ADB working. Then I ran SOC v2.3.2.0, on Advanced tab I checked "Use alternative ADB Parser", set exploit to auto and then clicked the root button.
I saw a comment on SOC website where someone with same phone and specs succesfully rooted theirs so I tried it and it worked great.

Gotcha. Finally got mine to root last night. Had to manually instal l all the drivers in device manager. I wish they would release some roms now.

LG Ignite
I have the LG Ignite, exact same phone from Alltel. I have managed to root mine with SOC, after installing drivers from LG website. My knowledge beyound rooting is very little. I havent found any luck with Rom Manager, and anytime I have ever tried to get into the Factory Reset menu / Boot Loader, or even run a Rom Back up in Rom Manager it has totally wiped my phone's Rom/app's/Data and reset it as if was brand new in the box. although Root and Super User has always remained. I thought my Ignite and the Black were the exact same phones. I do not know what is different from CDMA and GSM other than the Radio's. If I have any understanding how any this works, you have a Rom, which is aOS, then you have a Boot partition and a Radio Rom, as well as I assume the other parts are Roms or Partitions holding data.
I would appreciate if someone would break the structure of things down for me.
My understanding is that you could download ICS source, and compile it along with the kernel like any Linux OS and choose drivers based on the Factory Rom. Or use the old Drivers and incorporate them into a new OS build. and I guess use the old or factory Radio file/data. Beyond software features and changes in file system structure and support, what controls the visual appearance of the phone's software or OS? would that be the Rom?

I found some info that may help but I can't post links yet. Just google "Re: LG Marquee has CWM recovery." and the first ones that come up should be what I had found.

I think I have one ready for testing, check your PM on UPP for what else I need. Found a few answers here in this thread.
Just need to know if this phone has an internel sdcard.
Was zergrush the exploit used to root?
And an output of
Code:
cat proc/mounts
And finally, do yall have a way to restore back to stock is case of a booboo? Like a .tot and its acompanying .dll file you can flash with LGNPST?

I wish I could answer these questions to speed up the development but they are way over my head. It does have a sdcard. Where can I learn more about the kernels, dlls, and etc?

Zerglings were used for exploit. as for the other files i do not have or understand. But keep me informed of progress please, Im interested if we can get ICS compiled and running on our phones. Also if anyone knows of any updates too wireless as I find I ave to run a widget to disable Power management for wireless in order t get good solid connections to all wifi access points.

Just sent Craptorman a test zip to test out.

If the phone is already rooted will that mess anything up trying to root again with the tools/zip you sent me?

it shouldnt esp if what has been used to root is using zergrush as the exploit.

Has anyone figured out the button combination to get into the factory recovery?

What is your test zip suppose to contain and what is it suppose todo? I have no issues rooting with superoneclick 2.2-x.x. using zerg rush as exploit.

It is a CWM Recovery for the LGAS855 (Ignite). It roots the phone using the zerg rush method and then install the CWM Recovery. This Recovery allows you to make a nandroid back of your current rom (backup of everything basically). You can also install custom roms with it. You can also restore any backups of your rom that you made.
So if you flash a custom rom and something doesn't work, you can reboot into the CWM Recovery and restore the one that does work. Normal you can boot into the CWM Recovery with a button combinatation like power-volume down. My concern is that this button combination doesn't work and we would be stuck with it rebooting and resetting the phone each time.
I may be wrong on some of this. Maybe Playfulgod can shed some more light on this.

I liked the way of tutorial thanks for sharing this tip

thanks for the easy root method. i do have a question concerning rom manager though. when trying to install Clockwork Recovery via ROM manager there is no 'droid 4' option available yet. does anyone know if one of the current installers works for droid 4?

Not yet, and if you aren't 100% sure of what you're doing and fully comfortable with the process, I wouldn't do ANYTHING to your phone until the necessary files to recover from a mistake are available.

Worked like a charm...
Thanks, easiest root ever!
And FYI MotoFail (a compiled version can be found @ corusa.com/public/motofail.exe via crobs808)

Is this still the recommended way to root this phone? Also, will this process allow you to unroot it as well?

I would recommend using the Droid 4 Utility. It allows you to root, unroot, and a couple of other things. Really easy to use too.

VZ Droid 4 v4.1.2 performance
I am an IT professional with 30 years experience in mainframes and pcs. However, I have never attempted anything on an android device.
I have a Verizon Droid 4 running android 4.1.2. It performed very well when first activated, but over the last year it has begun slowing down. It will often lag when changing screens or opening applications. A friend suggested rooting the phone and changing the rom to improve performance. He suggested your web site. I have read the instructions and they seem quite easy. I am just hesitant as this is my only phone and I need it for work. I have used things like Advanced Task Killer and QuickCleaner but they only seem to have a short term effect.
I am looking for suggestions for optimizing the performance. Any help will be appreciated.

If u like the stock rom I would just suggest rooting it and installing safestrap recovery. Within the recovery u can wipe cache and dalvik cache. That may improve performance for ya

Bionic Left to Die!?

Can someone help my poor Bionic? All the links to restore a bionic are dead and its like a cemetery here nowadays... The Bionic was the most valued phone at one point, with its duo core and LTE together for the first time. gee... How said that the Bionic gets no love...
Anyway if someone can point me in the direction of a solid restore I would really appreciate it. I have rsd and a file but for some reason my bionic doesnt show up in rsd. Any links would be great thanks guys...

Are all the current drivers installed on your computer? What system are you using? What bit?

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I did install the latest drivers and my phone is not recognized by any fastboot program However I can command it manually. So I did so only thing is I hve restored to 886 and no radio. I tried mot-fastboot flash radio radio.img but i still dont have a radio. If I had a radio zip that would help maybe... Or if my stupid phone would just flash via rsd that would be great but doesnt look like that will happen. Thanks again
Edit: My new core i5 lenovo was the issue. My old Laptop fixed it like a charm. Thanks to all you faithful bionic owners lol. Seriously though why does the best network get such lack of development on its phones... Sad, Even the Droid Charge was left with no love...

They worked for me and actually I'm back to running Eclipse latest 904 build updated a few days ago after running the 902 rebuilds referenced previously and also figuring out my main problem with Motorola's FastBoot Recovery was USB cable and port related.

Found ICS leak on cheesecake. 6.7.2231

found by me. cheesecake staging third server. posted pics on droidhive
EDIT: UPDATE. well after a full day of messing with the leak update i can say
1. radio update fixed the connection issues including lte, 3g, and wifi issues that lately were getting worst
2. battery life greatly went up a bit compared to what i used to get out out .902 and .905
3. color and screen seem to be more "vibrant" than before. good thing imo
4. had issues with playing youtube and netflix last night but a quick reset of the phone and issues were gone
5. have no issues with the face unlock
6. i've messed with nearly every feature and option and everything is running smooth as butter. no random reboots nor connection issues
7. successfully rooted using motorola 4.0.4 root method
8. camera works great and quickly too. image stabilization added on both pictures and video recording
now if your on and off about updating well take my word that you'll be happy with the update. if your one of the many like I that started to hate the damn phone because of the latest connection issues or crappy updates, this will make you fall in love with the beast that is the first 4G LTE verizon Motorola DROID Bionic
will be posting pictures up soon!

I think I'll wait on this one. Don't want to get burned like some other model users did on a leak.

is it possible to flash back to .902/.905 from this ICS?

I am on 905 rooted but stock and hadn't even removed the bloat. However I cannot install this update it fails just after it tried to "verify current system" the error says
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/bin/logwrapper". then what appears to be the output of two md5sum runs
then
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

You can't be rooted.

You may have or have had either Clockwork Mod Recovery installed or Safestrap. Whenever I use CWM and then wish to remove it, I do the following:
1. I uninstall it through normal methods
2. Then I navigate to "/system/bin"
3. I delete the file named "hijack"
4. I then delete the file named "logwrapper" and rename the file "logwrapper.bin" to just "logwrapper"
This always seems to completely remove any traces of CWM. Hope this helps!

Tried this, and got a different error this time complaining about /system/bin/mount_ext3.sh..
Update: opened up that script and saw where I had some lines added from forever root, removed those lines and am currently installing ICS

You must have used a version of 4everoot that modified the mount-ext3.sh file to keep root through an update. You will have to either FXZ or manually re edit that file to remove the lines at the bottom that protect root.

[Q] Is there a way to root my bionic if it is running ics?

Hey everyone, I recently updated my Bionic to ics (the non rooted version) and i wanted to root it. Is there a way to do so or do i have to downgrade???

http://t.co/mbIAmwH8

i just made the jump over to ICS using the SamuriHL_HouseOfBionic(something like that) method and everything went great and i made it to the newest ICS .232 leak but now when i try to root using the razr edge for windows program, it wont finish to rooting.. it gets to "daemon not running - starting it now" and just gets stuck there. i have done everything needed for it to work but for some reason its not getting past the daemon starting part. do i just need to wait longer? ive let it sit there for like almost an hour and still nothing.
has anyone else had this problem or know of any way to solve it? i would very much appreciate it!

People say you can but i had to flash back and root before installing ics. I lost root when installing .2233, but was then able to regain it with razors edge.
Though this last time i used voodoo root keeper from the market and it worked great.

Did you enable USB Debugging and set your phone to MPT instead of USB Mass Storage? Have you tried "adb devices" to ensure that your computer is able to see your phone? USB Debugging is not enabled once you jump to ICS. You need to go into your system settings and enable it. I used SamuraiHL's script as well and had to enable USB debugging to get razr's edge to root my phone without fail.

same problem here
i too am unable to use ics razors edge/moto exploit either. i also get stuck at daemon started. i know how to follow instructions ie. usb debugging, updated drivers, different usb ports. when phone is in mass storage mode i get to daemon started, when i use mtp stuck at waiting for device. this is very frustrating as it should be very simple. ANY OTHER HELP?

Have you tried using a different USB cable? If not, go ahead and give it a try, it seems to be a fairly common issue, some cables just don't work well. Also, make sure to use a usb port that is directly connected to the motherboard, don't go through a hub.

Are you using the stock motorola factory cable that came with the Bionic? And what happens when you do "adb devices"? Also what windows are you guys running? I used to have problems with Windows 7. I have WIndows XP on my work computer which I do most of my downgrade/upgrade/rooting. I know people usually have issues with Windows Vista/7.

The downloaded file is zipped. You have to extract to another folder; open the new folder and run the bat file.

Did you enable USB Debugging and set your phone to MPT instead of USB Mass Storage? Have you tried "adb devices" to ensure that your computer is able to see your phone? USB Debugging is not enabled once you jump to ICS. You need to go into your system settings and enable it. I used SamuraiHL's script as well and had to enable USB debugging to get razr's edge to root my phone without fail.

I enabled USB debugging and everything but it still failed and was stuck at the "starting daemon" or whatever. The correct drivers and everything were installed and the computer recognized my phone just fine. I think I'll have to go back to. 905, root, and download the voodoo ota root keeper and go to. 232 then root again. But do I install root keeper after I'm rooted on. 905 then install. 232 and have to root again or is it already rooted after upgrading? Or do I have to install root keeper before I root on. 232? lol sorry I'm just trying to get it straightened out do I do it right the next time :screwy:
--------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: i was doing this whole process on a older, ****ty computer and now I'm trying it on my laptop which is much newer and more reliable and i'm seeing better results... i havent gotten to the ics rooting yet but i got past the same problem just from rooting on 902 using my laptop so im hoping it will do the same when it comes time for the razrs edge root. i will let you guys know in a bit, wish me luck...

So I did eventually figure it out and it was a lot simpler thani thought.. lol I just needed to use a different(better/newer) computer to root my phone on. Thanks for the help and I hope maybe this will help someone with the same problem in the future :beer::what:
