Thanks! For some reason it would not let me update any other way. I had to manually search for the galaxy gear app on Samsung apps and then it said there was an update. It doesn't state what the update consists of. but thanks. If i knew how to turn it into an apk file i would do it for ya.

When I updated it erased all my side loaded apps. Or at least I think it did because they are no longer there. some people said they didn't know how to delete side loaded apps. Well there's one way. How do we check how much memory is left on the gear? So i know when to stop side loading lol

Whoa! wanted and unwanted side effects of the upgrade.
Not sure how to check for memory.
I believe if your phablet is rooted, you can search for the .apk files from the stock file manager and find the samsung gear manager APK - if not no worries!

Besides missing side loaded apps, notice any difference? More apps in app store? See any reason to update?

Nothing what so ever. I see no change. Just my side loaded apps gone. And it asked me if I wanted to restore what I had before the upgrade and I said yes to restore but the side loaded weren't part of the deal. If I notice anything different I will let you know.
Darn... Was hoping for some more apps

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.

Since there's a Adb sideload option, you could push the stock build.prop to /system then LG Flash to stock. I have T-Mobile so I can't give you the build.prop, sorry

Factory recovery won't let you adb sideload a package without a LG verified updater script so it won't work. Your best bet is to take to Sprint and have them replace it. They won't say anything

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.

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)

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

So far I've had no luck in rooting the Cam2, I'm missing xPosed and Gravity Box. There are some minor hardware differences between the two cameras and the Cam2 is on JB 4.3. Failing root on the Cam2, one might be able to pull the apk from rom.
Oh yeah we would still need the newer bootloader. It's annoying that Samsung have just forgot about us.

It hasn't been rooted yet. Most of the root methods don't work on the Galaxy Camera 2. I'm going to make a request of Chainfire to see if cf-autoroot is possible, assuming I extracted the recovery.img correctly.
I've been able to pull some of the camera app files from my Cam2, not sure I've got all of them. The manifest does have some permissions that don't exist on the original camera.
Has anyone seen a download for the surround shot addon for the gs5? It's available on Samsung apps and for 4.2+ but only for the gs5:crying:

Thanks, just got it today. Its a nice camera!
It's a really good camera. I wanted to get the original Galaxy Camera about a year ago, but for a few reasons didn't. I really don't understand why they didn't include(or offer as an add-on) the surround shot, I have it on my Note3 and I've had that for almost 6 months.
So how is the new root working for you? Were you on the most current fw when you rooted?
Also, do you know of the camera is Knox?
Did you lose data after rooting?

Did you lose data after rooting?

Root is working well. I've got GravityBox(JB), XHaloWindow, and XQuickSettingsToggle loaded via Xposed. I probably won't load any others since there's no way to disable xposed if it goes into a boot loop since I don't have custom recovery.
The camera had the latest firmware(NC2, per SamMobile) and while I was asked to disable a Knox program after I rooted, it does NOT have a root switch on the download screen as my Note3 does.
All data was preserved in rooting, though backup early and often(like voting in Chicago).
Here's the link that I first posted in the other thread:
http://download.chainfire.eu/414/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-sf2wifi-sf2wifixx-ekgc200.zip
I see 4 others have also taken the plunge.
Thanks for the update. Will you be flashing a custom recovery?

Uh, not sure who the recovery experts would be.
I've had no problems with gravity box, I like pie.
Good to know. I have been googling search with exposed module name + boot loop and gravity box popes up a few times. It looks like their have been version that can cause boot loops. So be careful upgrading?

Edit: I don't recommend using gravity box, just tried it very near soft brick. Managed to disable the module after uninstalling grav box, it wasn't easy

That's odd, works perfectly on my GC200.
I turned on edit notifications, pie and then advanced reboot. Next the screen went black camera vibrated for about 15 secs then eventually rebooted. Upon rebooot the android interface was brutally slow with some fc here and there but I managed to slowly navigate to exposed to uninstall.

I've got greenify, boot manager and app settings working no problem. Does exposed Disabler work through the Samsung recovery?

Not sure about notifications, but I've got pie and advanced reboot enabled.
I'm not sure about using the xposed disabler via the samsung recovery since it's not signed.
Any news on a custom recovery, I asked philz but he hadn't responded yet. BTW do you know whet to download original fw for this camera, in case something goes wrong?

I haven't heard anything about recovery, I downloaded the fw from SamMobile.
Ok guys, I know i left y'all hanging with my other thread with the custom launcher...BUT!! this one is fully working with native Ouya launcher.
You can log in, buy games, re-download games you may have bought on your ouya already and so on. its your ouya now in your hands
All files provided have been release in some form already so i hope i dont get banned for them...
Most are from different SDKs. I just found the right mix and how to make them run by directly inserting them to System.
All files MUST be transferred directly to the System/App folder of the shield, you CAN NOT install them as User Apps then move them to System/App. it will not work this way!!
Download Link http://www.mediafire.com/download/g8hdkw2xr92z9pa/Ouya_files.zip
1). Extract zip to a location on your shield.
2). Use ES File Explorer to manually move the files to System/App
3). Reboot your Shield.
4). Select OUYA Launcher form Home Screen selection.
5). Create/Log in to an account.
6). Enjoy this little mod!!!
I strongly recommend having Xposed Installer and App Settings installed on your device.
Set the OUYA Launcher DPI to 200 - 230 to fit the Shields screen correctly.
I can't seem to get this working. I transfer the files to system/app then reboot but after my shield reboots I'm not getting any options to use the launcher

Try installing the launcher apk as a user app also. (having both one as system and one as user)
or go into your apps and manually start it and or OBBE.

When I go to install the launcher apk it just says app not installed and if I try to launch it from the system/app folder it tells me there was a problem parsing the package so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here

Try downloading again. Cannot parse is usually an incomplete apk

It looks as all the apk are corrupt. Should look like this with icons.

What firmware are you running? I downgraded back to 4.3 because of the KitKat emulation slow downs. And I know ouya runs 4.3, maybe that's the problem.

That's prob it I'm on 4.4 maybe I'll downgrade later and try again. Are there really any benefits of it?

Well there are several free full games not available on the google play store in their shop and a few that are free to ouya only, like Order & Chaos. Most games work with shield controls also. And its a pretty nice launcher for the shield.

You could always grab the ZipSigner from Google Play and see if it's just a signature issue. Android has been tightening up security.

That's probably a good idea has anyone tried that yet. I hate to downgrade just put ouya launcher on and not even like it.

One thing I did notice that wasn't mentioned is that you have to change the permissions of all 4 of those files to match all the other apk files in the system app folder. I did this and keep getting a force close might be a couple of reasons I am looking into it.

I changed the permissions on the files and rebooted went to the launchers picked ouya launcher and its trying to launch but keeps saying "unfortunately ouya launcher has stopped" so I'm not sure what else to do with it

I didn't change permissions on mine though, just injected the apks, rebooted and it launched into the ouya launcher when I selected it. But I did clear cache and dalvik in recovery before rebooting. Which lead to the "Android Apps Are Upgrading" screen.
Also go to settings and manually set up an Ouya account in accounts before starting the launcher. See if that helps.

question time!
i know amazing frog extracted from the ouya works on shield, but with the ouya mod, do games that I extracted before(dub wars, the ball, and others) work?, or is this problem because of the developers coding to the ouyas Bluetooth module?
---------- Post added at 10:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------
also tried connecting the ouya controller to shield to see if it would work with the extracted ouya games, but it doesn't, its the same as playing gta3 or vice city with the controller, its all wonky, and doesn't work properly, try it for yourself and you will see!
the shield is becoming more and more dead in the forums
