Hey guys, happy new year first off. Now, my problem started right after new years where I receive a text message from a friend. Keeping in mind that i have a i896, i flashed to cognition 2.3b8 or w/e the newer version is called. I try to reply to my friend when all of a sudden it fails. So I try calling him instead, that failed as well. I tried texting and calling other people but that failed as well, yet my browser still continued to work. After an hour, no data can be found on my phone so now I am confused. I probably rebooted my phone 10 times by now. Anyhow, I reboot it and launcher pro settings are messed up, saying im not a pro member when i clearly paid for it as well as my phone not being able to receive any data from Rogers. Now, I randomly get a text from a friend, in which i cannot reply to once again. Is there anyway to fix this issue as it is quite random?
Sounds like a modem issue to me man. I would reflash and make sure you follow the instructions to the letter.
Also please post in the correct forum, this is not a development issue, it is Q&A.
What do you mean by the "letter." I will certainly reflash and repost in right section.

He means follow the instructions step by step and do exactly as they say even if you think you can skip a step or don't think it's necessary.

I think it's the unpublicized 2k11 bug..............
j/k.............just had to throw that out there. Hope you get it sorted.
I896... I had same issue. Rogers network was overloaded with calls and text messahes. My browser/data was still working. Happy new years rogers customers you come to find that the network is not as good as led to believe.

So we have confirmation that superoneclick and aroot doesn't work on the new atrix update. If any dev will work on this please use this thread.
EDIT: Please don't comment on this thread anymore. Go to Ririal's v2 root method
I just updated and it does seem smoother to me. Might just stick with it.
please everyone, this thread is for getting root on the update. if you want to comment on the update itself, use my thread on the general forum
Not cool... so they locked the damn phone down even more.

Maybe this is your first piece of electronics, but it's completely expected that everytime a software update for a piece of hardware is released, exploits are closed. Apple does it, Sony does it, Microsoft does, HTC does it, Motorola does it, Nokia does it...The list goes on.
This WAS EXPECTED. I always found it entertaining how whenever an update was released for my EVO the forum here on XDA would get absolutely flooded with people saying how they lost root NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THEY WERE WARNED! It could take 5 minutes, 5 hours, 5 days, 5 weeks, 5 years, or eternity for root to be regained after an update. There's no way to know.
any way of installing 3rd party non-market apps, like amazon appstore?

No... this is not my first rodeo, but still uncool regardless.
I expected it too, but still a bit peeved they did it.
im sure it is the "5 min" to regain root (hopefully!!!)

Pretty sure that's why he made the thread - we're being patient, just looking for someone to work on this fix. I'm ashamed I even posted on this comment, but if you're not going going to help fix it, you shouldn't be either....
Hey everyone, if you want to sideload apps just use the ADB INSTALL method it works for me.
I still have my root after update
Hello,
I just ran the update, it shows in the system version as 4.1.57 yet I still have my superuser permissions and can tether without adding to my plan. Not sure how or why, but it happened.

I would be helping fix it if I had the update. I'm still waiting for the notification, but thanks The OP is just forum clutter, and it's pretty rude to be making these requests minutes after the update is even pushed, and a BETA update, at that. That was my point.
Where are you guys located, getting the update already. I just checked and it said mine is up to date and I still have 4.1.26. Wierd!
Does any one know how to get the message to stop showing up I don't want to loose root and I don't want to be reminded every hour

Did you flash back to stock before the update or did you do the update on a rooted/gingerblured phone? Do you know if you were using 1.2.6 or 1.5.2? Have you tried running su in a terminal to make sure root actually works?
Was worried bout flashing without stock software already installed think ill go back to stock anyway to try it the official way first.. Can always go back and upgrade after rooted though if this works consistently.
The security hole that allowed for root on the phone is CLOSED in this update. There is no way of rooting your phone after this, save going back to one of the available SBFs. Confirmed by designgears as well.
As someone said earlier, "for now" the root method is disabled, and there is no way of rooting your phone after the update "at this moment".
I have confidence everything will be OK.
Boy am I glad I decided to stay away from this "update." I got accepted but when I go to check for updates it says I need a social networking account setup. When I then hit setup nothing happens so I said forget it lol.
Im on 5.5.886 and i keep getting an error when trying to use the OTA. I've been reading around but having a hard time finding what i need to do. I'm getting similar problems as others, but it says something about preinstall/apps/zumocast being the cause for the update to fail.
I've tried putting zumocast in that directory but it still didn't work (maybe because i didn't use the stock zumocast but the one from the market.
I've already done the r3l3ased and forever root and got back to stock. The stock that gave me didn't have zumocast.
I'm not new to rooting, but unfortunately our community isn't as organized as some of the Androids i have had in the past. It probably doesn't help that i only access the site from the xda app and not on a computer.
If you need to know what I've installed, i installed liberty rom, webtop without a dock, bootstrap/safestrap, and any other rom that i had installed was on safe mode with safe strap.

I'm thinking path saver may be my solution but not sure yet. Worst case scenario is that my bionic has had an issue of the screen going off on me randomly and the phone shutting off on me since the day i bought it and i can use my warranty (had the issues before i rooted so i know its not something i did, i just accepted that every android has some issues and lived with it)

Path Saver solved my problem. If anyone needs to know where to find it (considering they didn't put it up in the Droid Bionic Section), here is a link to the thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1450836
Just wanna introduce myself. I'm Matt, and I just picked up my G-Flex yesterday at T-Mobile. This is my first LG but not my first android. I've been rooting, unlocking, modding, theming, bricking, and recovering androids since the DROID 2 days. I'm not claiming to be a dev, but I do know my way around android/ Linux. I am a crack flashing android whore. I was on the RAZR maxx when it came with Gingerbread 2.3.4 and stuck with it through JB 4.1. Moved on to the RAZR HD MAXX on ICS 4.0.4 and followed a couple of the best devs Hashcode and Dan Rosenberg. Was one of the first to profit from Dan's RAZR HD MAXX bootloader exploit. Big props to the first ever to crack a Motorola bootloader.
Shortly after I moved on to the Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337. I can't count the soft bricks I recovered from before Loki and Odin files where released. Bad thing was my phone being rooted was able to be my hot spot, so when bricked I had no way to look up or ask questions. But I some how through trial and error recovered.
I now have the G-Flex on T-Mobile and within a few hours of purchase I'm rooted thanks to the IoRoot method. Thanks to the cat that posted the thread on here for that one in this same General Forum section. And needless to say I've already bricked it twice tonight. Just recovered it and got booted back up and set up.
With all that said, I'm not afraid of testing or helping with any development. I'm not afraid of brick, cuz I'm sure with all the talented devs on xda and myself, I will recover.
Luckily I made a back up of my build-props, system, and recovery so I was able to restore and push thru adb. Also wiped cache, dalvik, and system via adb. And reboot back to stock out of the box. But still a little puzzled how I kept root. Not complaining just puzzled.
If there is anyone working on a TWRP or CWM and Loki please message me and let me know what I can do to help. Like I said I'm not a dev and not claiming to be at all. I'm just brave. And mainly don't know where to start with porting a recovery much less Loki. But I can test and I take instruction well.
Hope I can help excited with the potential of the G-Flex....

nice post man:good:
I think we are pretty close to a recovery here, as a few folks are working on it.
Just like any new phone, it takes awhile for it to "catch on"; especially when all the "reviewers" have been slamming this phone for various reasons.
That makes people slow down jumping on it, but this phone is really fantastic, EPIC battery, great display, fastest phone out right now, and, the more that people ignore the idiot reviewers, and grab this thing, the sooner the development will take off.
The "problem" is that it's so awesum stock out of the box, that there isnt a sense of urgency to mod it! :victory:

I have no issues stock with root, i already debloated it and its running like a champ. I have the inverted mms app and am loving my phone right now.
Sent from my LG-D959 using Tapatalk
I'm loving it too. I'm rooted still and have installed XPOSED installer with "App Settings", "Xtheme engine beta 5"( with HUE theme) , and "Xblast" I've got the same inverted MMS. And I used APP Settings mod to changed the system UI, stock browser, and MMS ppi to 260. And used HUE theme for that AOSP blue feel. Used xblast for nav bar color change. I like the blue / Vanilla look. I guess that's cuz I'm a product of ICS and motoblur. I'm user android tweaker to speed things up a bit and to smooth out scrolling. And Android Tuner Pro to trim on boot and manage things a little. Snap dragon's Battery guru has always made a substantial difference in battery life, but its still in initial learning so I can't give a review on it for the G-Flex. But can't wait to get custom recovery for it and feel lot more comfortable diving into the modding/theming a good bit more.
I've noticed the stock launcher and settings, well really most the stock lg apps are very similar to Touchwiz. I've already tried out the Google Now launcher and "OK Google" does work from the home screen. You don't have to hit or exe any part of Google to be able to take advantage of the hot word command.

I I'm using an app called WIFI TETHER Beta 3.3. It seems to be working just fine. Doesn't ask or check account for subscription.

Nice post @Matt. You probably seen me over @droidrzr.com , I ran the site for the first two years. I picked up the Gflex for ATT a few days ago.
TBH i love this phone. Yeah,its not running the latest version of Android and it has a few quirks however, the reviews from all over the net are killing this device imo.
Tethering, have you tried the good ole SQL hack just to see?
Sent from my LG-D950 using Tapatalk
fortunately, many of the smarter folks out there, that use XDA, dont pay alot of attention to what a bunch of DB reviewers think about phones..I had a one maxx b4 this, and it too was a great phone, slammed by most reviewers.
this phone is tons of fun, and we're pretty close to custom recovery,and a flood of roms.
Yes I have. The hack with SQL by going to settings storage/settings/ then change the authorization line (forgot exactly what it was called. I would know it if I saw it) from a 1 to a 0? Yeah I went looking for it. The way I understand it is they have figured out how to make that one obsolete. Seems as if its a little deeper into the their end of the monitoring rather than the phone just check account subscription. But I using the good ole "WIFI Tether beta 5" apk from a couple years ago and it seems to work. Hasn't added any more data to my WiFi tether usage. And yeah man I remember you. And droidrzr.com. those were the days when I was a crack flasher and barely knew my way around a RAZR. Don't know how many of those I bricked by not reading you couldn't install custom recovery except safe strap unless you had dev edition. Lmao. The RAZR forums always had cool devs willing to help and teach. I went to the GS4 and wow it was like a an ego fueled pissing contest between the biggest smart a$$e$ on the web. No one seemed to want to help just wanted to argue or try to point out that you don't know crap and they know it all. Glad to be out of their forums. And glad to see all these cats on the g flex forums have all been super cool and helpful.
They way it should be.

Yeah @Matt if your not a complete moron and ask the same question over and over again peeps around here are cool.
Yeah, the razrs where the good ole days lol. I went to the note family about 2 years ago and have a note 3 too. I like the Gflex . The pure fact that we have fastboot access is a good sign. I've been talking to hashcode and a few others to see what van be done.
Also, most of the Gpro xposed stuff work on the Gflex if anyone was wondering.

I am not all that great with pcs my last one was a Ubuntu or kubuntu box 4 years ago. now I use a windoz 7 of some sort twice a week at my dad's house once in a great while. I had do do an SD card fix. so I used LG one click 6 months later, it popped out I reinstalled and ran it through got a message in su that it had been updated and had to root manually unfortunately this is the first time I've rooted a phone and have no idea what tat means. I assumed I had to run it through again but didn't work. That all being said if there is a quick fix without spending a lot of time installing software beside a one click or a script that has a written tutorial I'd Ike to know. otherwise, if it's not a security risk. I'm fine cause the SD card fix is done I found gnuroot and it's a lot of fun I couldn't use it rooted so that's what I need to know.
Thanks in advance
