Thanks to Sticks for being one of the only other people keeping up with it
Edit** Remember installing things can be dangerous so do not install unless you know what youre doing. I was kind of an idiot and jumped the gun. I lost root, I am working with a couple of devs to fix that though.
Also I have checked almost every day, can I get a "thanks" for clearing my phone like 20 times? lol

press volume up and down at same time. do a factory reset, then check for update

Good effort! The last build I saw was the Oct 18 so again Moto has its tweak on! Let us know about the root access. I'm gonna hold off until we get root for JB. And since you're already up and running, do let us know about performance, stability and battery life.

Actually, you do need all the system apps to update. The package will search the previous installation before installing.

I was more talking about the google search not being there. Thank you for the answer though! I had heard you need them to update, but I figured since it was leaked an not final, it was as polished and ready.
Say someone were to delete all the stock apps because they fail at life. Anyone have a zip with them?

Assuming you can fastboot back to ICS, here is how you get rooted on Jellybean if you are completely not rooted:
Fastboot (or RSD) the ICS Firmware for the Jellybean Leak to install on
Root normally with motofail2go by djrbliss
Install Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper. Backup su AND do a Temp. Unroot.
Install Jellybean Leak
Restore root with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper
??????
Profit
Assuming you are rooted.. just start with the Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper step.
Yeah..I've been thinking on Vodoo. I guess it's the very first JB leak. Please post any bugs or issues here. Don't wanna mess much my AHD coz it's my daily phone.

Does the update wipe all your installed apps? I've read that it does and that it doesn't, so I don't know what to think.

Ok I know installing the beats from the market wasn't the best idea but I saw someone with a RAZR HD did it and it worked so I figures I'd give it a try. Well no brick but now everything is substantially quieter even turned up all the way.. any way to fix that?

the beats from the market does not work on these phones.. i made a review but they removed it..
it messes up the volume and the use of the headphone mic..
only way to fix it is to reflash the firmware.. if your phone is on JB and jailbroken its pretty easy..
first safestrap it..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995220
then download the stock jb from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066136
make a slot1 and install that stock jb i used 1gb system and 2gb data. this leaves 1.8gb of user space internal.
make a backup of slot1
then flash the backup to slot0
you can then remove slot1 AFTER you made sure slot0 boots still.
i personally left slot1 as active that way i can never mess the phone up again.

Alright so what you do is use Root Explorer and go to data/app. Find the app its called com.motioncoding.beats... Extract the apk and go to the extracted folder. Open it and look at assets/system. It has added all that garbage in to your system. Honestly if you have done a backup with safestrap I would restore that. Cuz its only restoring system anyhow not data since data partition isn't supported. So you shouldn't lose any apps or data. That is if you did a backup of your rooted jellybean.

PLEASE READ EVERYTHING FOR better understanding
Hey fellow LG Owner(s) I am writing this asking for some help. I know that majority of LG Phones use the same software and flashing tools regarding taking your phone back to stock. I currently own an LG G Flex (LS995 Sprint Variant) and I managed to soft brick my phone. I have posted this same message over at the LG G Flex Threads but so far I have gotten no one to provide me some sort of solution on how to un-brick or factory reset my phone.
The status of my phone before it got bricked was it had Root (IOROOT method), Busy-Box (by Jrummy), Build.Prop was edited to display as a Nexus 5, and boot-loader locked along with no custom recovery. If you’re wondering why my boot-loader was locked and why there wasn’t any type of custom recovery was due to the sad fact that Developers are having a hard time on cracking it.
Now to explain on how I soft bricked my phone. I was changing my font style by using a tool called ROM Toolbox (by Jrummy). I managed to change my font once and I attempted to change it a second time, since I was looking for something that displayed it wider and bolder. So as I applied install on the new font I got an automatic reboot.
The reboot consisted of the normal LG Logo display, followed by a black screen and staying as a black screen. On the upper left of my phone the notification indicator was flashing multiple colors (red, white, blue etc). This is the current state of my phone, black screen with a multicolor notification.
My attempts to fix:
- Simple reboot of the phone ((fail))
- Let the phones battery drain out then charge for a few minutes and restart ((fail))
- Managed to get into STOCK recovery and perform clean partition ((fail)
- Managed to get into STOCK recovery and apply factory reset ((fail))
- I got into some weird mode which also gave me the option to apply factory reset ((fail))
- I followed this tutorial (LG Flash Tool) on how to revert back to stock (by hyelton) ((fail))
Link to tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2644083
The tutorial by hyelton was almost successful to reverting back to stock firmware until I got to the last step (Number 6). The error that occurred by using the LG Flash Tool was when the tool attempted to flash the stock firmware it gave me a Download FAIL!! “Device Model is different“ notification (Images below). I did this tutorial at least seven times and I got no luck. Every single time that I attempted to do this I kept getting the same notification. I have now ran out if ideas on what to do.
My theory, I believe that by changing my build prop to display as a nexus 5 is the reason why I keep getting this fail notification. On the phone it-self when I put it into download mode it even displays as a Nexus 5 (Images below).
I was wondering since it’s possible to get into STOCK RECOVERY, I saw that it had an option for “ADB SIDELOAD” is it possible to push something thru ADB??? Any type of help is greatly appreciated and thanked. Please do not get upset that you see this in multiple LG threads, I am just trying to find a solution to UNBRICK this very expensive phone that I bought and I cannot afford to just use it as a paper weight. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS
Here is a Link to all my files regarding STOCK tot,dll,lg flash tools,aboot, buildprop, lg usb drivers and adb drivers that are for my phone
Link: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B1D8UNLjuTB6TWpCQ1pJME5qWk0&usp=sharing
i hope these files help anyone that are attempting to help me put my phone back to stock
Alright yall, I am almost official screwed. I purchased this phone about a month ago from Best Buy and they stated that I am out of there 15 day window so I cannot exchange or replace for the same phone. I then went to Sprint on whom I have phone insurance for and they stated that they cannot do anything and that I have to go to one of their Sprint repair stores. I went to one of the repair stores and the gentlemen that assisted me plugged my phone to his computer and immediately knew that my phone was rooted. So from there I played the dumb blonde card acting like I don’t know what he’s talking about and from there he directed me to call LG and see what they can do. So now the current status is I filed a repair request and now I am awaiting a reply from LG. Does anyone have any suggestion???
**SOLUTION** hey yall i got the solution to my problem and it was simply by downloading this universal custom .dll from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663369
and i managed to flash back to stock recovery using this guide. instead using the dll on the the guide i used the custom one.

am i officially screwed?? - sprint LS995
by using ROM tool box (by Jrummy) it’s an awesome app but I decided to play around with the custom font option and when I tried to install another custom font it decided to reboot my phone to the LG logo and from there the screen goes black with the little indicator light on the upper right of the phone flashing multiple colors.
Fixes that i have attempted to apply where:
-multiple reboots nothing happened same results
-let the battery drain out of the phone then let it charge for a bit and restart it with no luck
-go into recovery mode to clear partition and reboot, but no luck
-go into recovery mode and apply factory reset but no luck
At the end of all these attempts I continue to get the LG LOGO and after that has played out i get a black screen with my notification indicator flashing multiple different colors.
** so i decided to go back to stock firmware by following hyelton directions and so far i got everything to work but one thing which is i remember changing my build prop a while ago to be noticed as a nexus 5 and now the LG Flash tool wont update my phone to the stock firmware because it recognizes it as another device. please help me, there has to be another way around this **
Also what option was I suppose to choose when installing lg flash tool. Was it the global mode or test mode?? Because I chose the global mode I hope I was correct.

It depends, do you have insurance through best buy or sprint? I'm sure no matter what if you take it back to best buy and tell them that you bought the phone and haven't dropped it or anything that they will replace it being it is so new still

I'm just going to throw my opinion out there. I hate returning a phone that you broke. It's not sprints fault or best buys fault. As a matter of fact they did everything they could(locked bootloader, no root, etc. ) to stop this. There's a reason every carrier has started locking bootloaders now.
You're a grown man so do whatever you want just thought I would throw an opinion out there. Plus recovering this is a good learning experience. I bet you'll learn a lot about the workings of Android in the end

I agree. I saw way too much of that in the T-Mobile galaxy s3 forum. It seriously irritates me when people do that.
I will say this. I do agree that it is kind of wrong. But when corporations make over triple the profit of a phone then I don't really see anything wrong with it. If they wouldn't have locked the phone down to where we could have a recovery on it right now he wouldn't be going through this problem. He could have restored a nandroid or flashed a new Rom. I have never had to return a phone for this reason. I mean hell, I bought a spare just so I could finish my tether mod and not have to keep using LG flash tool on my daily driver. Plus all a cell phone company is going to do is send it back to LG and get another free phone out of it. Yes it is his fault for changing the build.prop and other mods. Everyone makes mistakes and the best of us learn from them. I'm sure Christiam learned his lesson. I don't feel he should have to spend 599 to buy a new phone for it, when it probably cost under 100 to make.

You're a grown man so do whatever you want just thought I would throw an opinion out there. Plus recovering this is a good learning experience. I bet you'll learn a lot about the workings of Android in the end

I completely agree also because (my opinion) if you return a phone, they will try to do everything possible to make it as new and sell it but the people that will spend money to work on YOUR phone are going to be paid from LGE because of YOUR error, not LG's. If LG pays those people to spend time on YOUR phone, the prices of the next phones (by LG) will grow up. I said it, my opinion (99% of times I am wrong)
Link to All Stock Files, Tools and More
Here is a Link to all my files regarding STOCK tot,dll,lg flash tools,aboot, buildprop, lg usb drivers and adb drivers that are for my phone
Link: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B1D8UNLjuTB6TWpCQ1pJME5qWk0&usp=sharing
i hope these files help anyone that are attempting to help me put my phone back to stock
I wonder how lgflash determines what firmware you're flashing? Is it just the file name out the build.prop if the file? I ask because maybe we can tell the tool the file you're flashing is for a nexus so it matches your current build prop. I'll look and see if I can figure it out tomorrow, but maybe one of our pros already know

Won't have a custom recovery unless bootloader gets unlocked or safestrap gets working on our phone. Hope for option one.

You can start by debloating your GS5. See thread.

Lag
After I performed the root my S5 is incredibly laggy. Like 10 seconds before the screen comes back on after a time out.
Adfree by bigtincan was my first stop back in rootland.
Also better battery stats to track whats eating my battery on occasion.
Later on after I get some rest I plan on debloating. Thats all there really is to root, its not that big of a deal but its nice.

I highly doubt that, but I'd factory reset the phone and start over if I were you.
As far as what to do next?
Titanium Backup
Xposed Mod
Greenify
Textdroider_DPI
etc
Did anyone confirm xposed works on this phone?

SDfix app finally works now that we got root , was so annoying when google decided to disable SDcard writes for 3rd party apps.
Once you run sdfix you need to restart your phone for the fix to take place.
I have no reason to lie, and did a factory reset. Seemed to fix the issue.

Yes, it works and I am working on a module specifically for the S5.

I don't think you are lying, I just doubt it's that bad. I'm glad it got fixed. :good:
Seriously it was like 10 seconds. Every app I tried to use would time out and the wait/close box would pop up.

Hmm, that's interesting. What did you do after root, did you install anything?
I noticed some initial lag after getting xposed running, but I've got my theories on what is causing it.

Nothing I just installed SU and TiBu. I've been rooting since my OG Galaxy S. I'm just a lurker. I noticed that some people were having issues with Xposed but I don't use it.
