[Q] Is JVZ(Odin flash) a non wipe?

Guys I for a sec thought my phone was haunted!!
Steps I followed-
Was on Simplicity(tried from SURFACE too) Rom, did not wipe anything.. just went to download mode from Power menu Options.
Download JVZ base from SamMobile.
Flash via Odin.(YES, repartition was ticked)
Wait for it to reboot.
Then I see 4-5 things giving force close, and the worst part was that all the previous apps including Superuser were still there all forceclosing.. !!!
The same happened all times (4)...
Did anybody face the same problem? Is there a solution or something?

After flashing a new ROM (no matter what ROM) you have to do a Factory Reset and install your Apps from scrach. This is the best solution.
But you try first with few hope to delete Cache and Davlik from CWM Recovery Menu. If it wont work, try factory reset. Back-up your files becouse it will delete them all.

Agree with this, if not you might find alot of your apps will keep force closing

Guys did u understand the situation first of all? What are u telling?
I am telling here that Odin wipes every partition and all apps are removed if u flash a ROM through ODIN but when I flashed JVZ through Odin, it actually didn't wipe anything surprisingly!!
Apps were still there and fc-ing..

Man, calm down a bit, will you?
I've flashed Odin ROMs many times, and I can tell you that not every time you flash (even with repartition enabled) your phone will be completely wiped.
But then, as stated before, you should do a factory reset. Is it so difficult to go to settings>backup and restore>reset factory data? I don't think so.
Bye!

SuperSu or Apps with root Access freeze sometimes

The App SuperSu or Apps with root Access freezes sometimes, not allways, you can start these App´s 5 to 10 times without Problems and next start the app freeze at that point normaly notification for root acces is shown. The only way is to kill the app and start again, mostly the app starts then, sometimes it freezes 2 or 3 times in a row.
I have re-rooted about 5 times or more, i have updated SuperSu and su Binary, i changed to superuser (uninstalled SuperSu before), reflashed the firmware (Euro Open V10h) and wiped it before and after reflashing. Nothing helps...
Even after reflashing and wiping, the first boot after rooting, the app freezes, nothing further installed (i think)...
Does anyone have the same problem or any idea! Thanks in advance...

It would be very nice to know where are you from... your phone official latest firmware is V10H?
If it is, downgrade to V10A, factory reset, upgrade using "web upgrade", root (using IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed, if possible) and factory reset. Update SuperSU binary, install SuperSU Pro, upgrade SuperSU in GooglePlay.
Should be enought, its the most radical that I know.
Good luck :fingers-crossed:

I´m from Germany. The Firmware is the latest offical V10h (Euro Open / DBT, i´ve done a file compare, it´s the same).
I´ve done some test´s a few days ago, one of them (install of busybox 1.20.2) let the phone stuck on boot. I tried many things, wiped and flashed KDZ new. After that i want to use my CWM (Nandroid) Backup, so I installed the recovery again (but version 1.1 from my PC, not the actual version 1.2) and i cant restore because of issue "cannot mount system" (issue of version 1.1). So i tried again with adb and finally i did a mistake and mount system manually. The restore first format "/system" but cannot mount it afterwards. So the restore killed my system, there was no Firmware on Phone at all.
I found the software upgrade mode and reflashed the actual Firmware V10h.
So I think there cant be anything "old" on the phone because the wipe killed /data and /cache and the failure with recovery killed /system. The reflash installed the brand new V10h and after rooting and install of recovery (this time version 1.2) I have had the problem with SuperSu / Apps with root already again...
I could try the reflash to V10a and then Webupgrade, but I dont think it will help, cause as I wrote, there were no more old things on phone when I installed the official V10h, so it should be the same...
Thanks for your help!

I still advice you to downgrade, FACTORY RESET, web upgrade to latest (V10H), root and factory reset.
Factory reset will re-install factory settings based on the files that you have (some kind of "rescue system files") if they're messed, version mixed or corrupted somehow, the problem will remain.
Downgrade will install the oldest, basic and fisrt files files known (apart of dev files V09x). Factory reset will delete all newer files.
Upgrade will reinstall the new files overwritting the old ones from V10A.
The system files should be clean and without corrupted or version mixed files after this procedure.
Good luck on that

Ok, I have done all this, a lot of work (save internal SD-Card, save Nandroid Backup, installed V10a, reset, update to 10b, reset, update to 10d, reset, update to 10f, reset, update to 10h, reset, root, reset), and what should I say, same as before!!!
After the steps to V10h I only installed 3 Apps for root access (for testing): Adfree Android, Dateimanager (Filemanager), Recovery 1.2. I started these Apps a few times, also the superSU-App and after 8-10 Tries, superSu was frozen!!! (same as before update)
No more idea, but all the work was quite useless...
As I thought, with factory reset and flashing new firmware, there are no "old" files (where should they be?) cause system, data and sdcard are written new, so the process of upgrading from V10a couldnt bring the effort...

This sounds like you upgraded with kdz flasher. Don't do that. Use the official LG Software Update tool. It will download a v10h directly and flash it, together with a factory reset and a reset of those "emergency files". Do another factory reset afterwards just to be sure.

In which mode the phone has to be connected to use that tool? In "Software Upgrade Mode or in Recovery mode or normally booted? With USB Debugging on?
Do I have to choose "emercency update"? How could I say, that I want to reflash the same Firmware (actually V10h is installed)? Please give some advice... Thanks in advance...

What I said was this:
"I still advice you to downgrade, FACTORY RESET, web upgrade to latest (V10H), root and factory reset."
Web upgrade is the same than LG Update Tool... It will install the original official firmware for your phone, once you're German, you'll have the V10H.
I never had problems with supersu since I use it...

If you have V10H, the program (LG Update Tool) will tell you that you already have the latest one...
Or you downgrade or follow the video from minute 00:51:00

OK, I try again. I used KDZ-Updater for reflash to V10a, I think there would be no other way. Then I used the OTA-Updates to get the Version 10b, 10d, 10f and 10h. That´s what I understood as "Webupgrade".
Now I have connected my phone in S/W Upgrade mode and use the LGMobile Update Tool. There is an option "Recovery phone" and now it is Downloading the Firmware (extremly slow, will last 2 hours or more), next should be Update.
Do u think this way its necessary to downgrade to V10a again, before the use of this tool or would it install all necessary?

"Web Upgrade" refers to the use of LG Update tool. It's because there is a button named "Web Upgrade" in the b2c program which launches the "normal" LG Update tool. I hope it's clear this way. FOTA (=Firmware over-the-air) is NOT Web upgrade.
I don't know if the emergency mode does the same as the web upgrade, but I suppose it does. So wait those three hours. LG servers are extremely slow on that, i had the same experience when upgrading my phone with Web Upgrade. Just leave it on and go away, and when you come back in a few hours it should work again.

Thanks! I think the update is the same. I need the recovery phone option, cause the installed Firmware V10h is the latest and so there is no option Web-Upgrade activ. With this mode, the normal PHONE UPDATE Screen from the update tool comes up and the 4 Steps Analysis, Download, Update and Complete are shown...
The Download is 465,75 MB and seems to be the normal size for V10h.
But I dont think, there will be a great difference after that update for my problem with superSu. I "bricked" my phone a few days ago, I formatted SDCard, system, cache and data, I had to install the firmware via S/W Upgrade mode, the only mode the phone was booting, all other ways was dead, so I think I came from the absolut beginning. After that flash of firmware and first rooting again, the problem still persist (I had this problem from the first day I got the phone). Therefore I dont think, a 3rd or 4th install will change a lot, but I try...

All of you, who think the tool does something special, I am not sure. There is a Download-Directory, u will find KDZ-File V10H_00.kdz, exactly the same (did a file compare) that u can download on our servers for update via KDZ Update. So I think, also the simple write to the phone will be the same procedure. So I dont think its a great difference to use KDZ-Updater or this tool, both flash exactly the same firmware...
Give response of effort later...
Edit (after Test):
Same as ever! Filemanager freezes every 3-4 times started, supersu hangs sometimes, all as before...
This time I flashed V10a via KDZ-updater, reset, used the LGMobileUpdate Tool for upgrade to V10h, reset, root, reset. Installed supersu update, updated binary, upgraded to superSu pro. I installed some Apps with root access and the effect is as ever, sometimes ok sometimes the App or superSu hangs. Must be a problem with my phone, persists since the first day over all Firmware and Updates...
Thanks all for help!

Hi Bogeyof,

Hi, unfortunately NO! I´ve done all the stuff, reflash about 5 times or more, factory reset and wipe all (dalvik, cache), but the problem occurs already after reflash and reboot blank stock rom. After rooting the "naked" stock rom, the problem already exists. So it has nothing to do with installed apps or something else...
I also tried using superuser instead supersu. I tried to install both supersu and superuser via CWM-Zip (not together, one after the other, and I´m sure that I´ve correctly uninstalled the previous one) to be sure of correct Superuser-Bin and Superuser/SuperSu-Versions, but nothing changes. Even with superuser, same behavior...
May be a good news is, i´ve also tried a costum rom (CustoNexus) and couldnt see the problem with that rom. So may be with the next update to jelly bean our problem is solved too...
Let´s wait and hope...

Problem will occur sometime later again.

Unfortunately I have the same Problem with SuperSu Pro, it works after a Reboot but some Time later it freezes, but the Apps with root permissions continue to run normally.

Good News, the problem is gone after upgrading to JB 4.1.2 V20a. No more freezes with Superuser or Apps which needs Root.
This was my hope and its OK now!!!
Btw I use Superuser (not SuperSU) but I had the problem on ICS exactly the same way with Superuser and SuperSU. So I think it should be OK now even with both of them...

Complete Factory Reset

Can someone help me COMPLTELY factory reset my phone. I rooted using the vroot tool. Then I installed the dual recovery (CWM and TWRP). Then I used the sony factory reset from phone's settings. I didn't unlock the bootloader. The reason I need to completely factory reset is because after the sony factory reset my wifi is broken. Like phone doesn't turn on the wifi and crashes if i try.

I am going to try the new firmware update and see if that helps

Also it seems I can't access the recoveries I installed.

after a reset you lose them. Just flash a stock ftf using flashtool

Flash
Just flash the FTF Firmware "Stock 14.1.G.1.534" via Flashtool.
This should help you out. :fingers-crossed:

I'v done this several times, by cwm and by stock recovery - same result. Finally I've installed branded rom and it's working perfectly to the moment I wanted to uninstall operator apps by titanium backup. Sometimes at the finishing of uninstall phone reboots... but working.

yeah n between uninstalling system apps system boots but thats not a problem as those apps which you wanna remove get removed even if your phone gets rebooted

Did you also wipe dalvik? Try to flash a stock (old) firmware via odin and do this steps.
1.reboot to recovery
2.wipe data /factory reset
3.wipe cache partition
4.reboot
İt has to boot normally in 2-3 minutes. İf doesnt tou gotta make a Jtag operation which you cannot do without the RiffBox.

You should flash a multi package firmware when rolling back from custom roms.XXKPH is one such rom,then you can flash latest update afterwards.Cache etc never matter for me

[Q] Factory reset good enough for used ebay phone?

Hi there I have just got a i9305 from someone on ebay and I am thinking should I do more than a factory reset. I.e. root it etc... or do you guys think it is 'safe' to just factory reset it? As in could someone stick some dodgy software on it that does not get wiped by factory reset? Thanks! :good:

Just factory reset it's ok if he has original soft.

Oh man but its been a year since I did all that type of thing - was hoping a factory reset was enough :S.

Just done a checkmend and its totally clean and still in warranty - all checks out. I am tempted to just go with the factory reset and sd card wipe -surely nothing will be left?
