Hi.
I heard from someone that there is an app that enables a danish Magic to fully access the android market thereby bypassing the region restriction. Is that true?
I´ve done a search. Nothing found.
yes, google for marketenabler
Thanks. Cheers.
You must root your phone for that to work.

I´ve just rooted the phone and the enabler tells me that everything is ok. But I still only get the free apps in market..
How do I check to see it my phone really is rooted? Might be that I´ve messed up ?
Did you remember to kill your market process and clear its cache before trying to go in again?
Did it and it works.. thanks..

Could you explain your steps to me? No matter what version I try, I ALWAYS get the "we got a problem Houston " error message. This is what I did:
Downloaded MarketEnabler_v3.0.1-beta.apk
Put it in C:\AndroidSDK\
Opened cmd from run
Went to C:\AndroidSDK\
adb install MarketEnabler_v3.0.1-beta.apk
Completed successfully
Went to applications in my Magic and force stopped Market as well as cleared the cache
Opened Market Enabler and tried the German source
Error message comes up!
Thanks for the help
And yes, my phone IS rooted.
EDIT: Didn't have Superuser installed! It works fine now although ATM it doesn't show any paid apps...

step 3 is enabling debug mode, so i dont know what you could have typed wrong.
point 6 is just to open a command prompt. have you tried with the Command Prompt icon in Windows?

You can try to use the method ekindangen is showing in this thread:
[ROM] Change the perfected SPL HBOOT 1.33.0010 to 1.33.0009
And after that you can choose to use flashrec to get recovery-RAv1.2.1H.img on your device or just use adb fastboot method. And then flash the rom you desire into your mobile.
But before you do so please confirm that you got a 32A with the perfect SPL 1.33.0010 for your own sake You should have, and method worked for me and was really easy!
My phone has no network and it says no sim card. After further investigation it appears that this is because the IMEI number has just gone, it doesnt exist on the phone. It is standard I have never changed software so have no idea how this could happen. Tried factory reset but nothing works. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your guidance...I have tried both option but it get stuck in middle somewhere and not able to flash the kdz file.
So at this moment LG Mobile support tools not able to cross 10% in firmware update process and stops due to some error.
With KDZ update tools, same situation....and device can connect to adb terminal no other recovery mode options.
So using adb terminal is there any chances to do some fix ?
I think I have currupted my boot loader during installation of third party recovery software without doing boot loader unlock option.
Please guide or suggest any other try.....

It was happened like......the phone was working ok with latest official updates V20A and suddenly lost the IMEI number so Mobile network also. After some try finally I have done factory reset..but it was not working as expected...some time it has shown IMEI but lost also...tried many time factory reset but not worked...so tried with LG Mobile repair under upgrade and recovery option but it was failing at 10 % everytime. So thought lets intall new ROM so decided to install cyanogonmod so for preparation rooted phone and installed CWM recovery ....as doing all this first time so may be forgot to unlock the bootloader so after installation of CWM recovery phone has not booted and also not going to recovery menu. After that under upgrade mode tried to burn KDZ file using LG mobile support tool but that also not working.
So now the situation is, the can only go in to firmware update mode and some time getting connected to adb terminal.
So now is there any change of BL repair through adb terminal or the only option remain is visit LG support....?
Please guide....

Did you downloaded the files??
Install Drivers and follow the steps properly,
this should work for you to keep connected,
One more thing run drivers and flashtool as administrator, I already PM you.
Still having problems, please let me know.
If your phone is still not booting, I am afraid that you bricked it.
Good Luck

Hi Guys. First off I'm posting this for information in hopes to help anyone else having this problem. I'll go over the problem I was having. What caused the problem for me and the steps I took to resolve it.
Problem:
A Handsfree activation bootloop. More specifically, no matter which rom, RUU, OTA, recovery or firmware I flashed, my phone would go threw a HFA and PRL update, say that it was successful and reboot on it's own and start the process over again. If at some point by chance I could catch it and disable the vDM.apk would be the only way I could stop it and boot normally. I tried resetting my profile, factory resets, Sprint support (which was completely useless) and everything else mentioned above. I even threw the kitchen sink in for good measure. lol. I was able to make phone calls, receive text and mms. I even had LTE and 3G service. But my wifi calling and sprint zone didn't work. So I knew something wasn't activating properly.
Cause:
Well for me it started when I accidentally flashed a M7 rom. Yeah don't laugh, it happens. Anyway, in recovery it said it failed but not before it formatted "/dev/block/mmcblk0p37" which is the system partition on the M7. But on the M8, it's the /carrier partition. So it erased all my info and filled it with a bunch of s**t. To the point that the partition was full and activation couldn't write to it. It also injected a bunch of s**t in "/dev/block/mmcblk0p39" which is the /devlog partition on the M8. So just a big mess. This is just how I got to this point. I'm not saying this your cause but the fix might help you.
Fix:
1 Get your self to a point that you are booted up to a rom. If you can't, try flashing an international rom made for sprint like "insert coin" for example. Those don't HFA bootloop from my experience.
2 Download MSL reader from the market. And get your MSL you'll need it later.
3 With a good root explorer, go to /carrier folder, do a backup of it (just in case) open the folder and delete everything in the folder.
4 Go to /devlog folder, open it and delete everything in there. (You don't need this stuff, it will rewrite itself).
5 Download the zip at the bottom of the post, extract it and copy the contents to your /carrier folder. Don't worry about the /devlog folder. leave it empty.
6 Now your going to flash a RUU. Download the one you want. I used https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001604379 (Don't worry it won't get you S-on or lock your bootloader). It will probably do a HFA again and it should fail. If not, try disabling it. Because we need to get to the dialer.
7 In your dial pad enter ##786# and go to edit mode. Enter your MSL if it asks you. Go to the menu button at the upper right and hit reset. Go threw the promps, the phone should reboot and restore. Let it boot up. It will go threw HFA again. But now you'll notice it activated properly. At this point your all done. Flash a custom recovery again. Profit.
Special Thanks to @Captain_Throwback You rock.
Let me know if this helps. Please post any questions and I'll try guiding you threw.

What ROM?
If it is stock based you can try this, either go through TWRP and select file manager or do this in the zip before flashing.
Go to system/app/HtcOMADM_SPCS and rename the apk by adding .bak after .apk.
After the phone boots and you pass setup you can always rename the file by removing the .bak
You might get better results by posting this question in that ROM thread, or make a thread in the Q&A and put the ROM name in the title of the thread.

Is a 30 Mb file that should contain some fixes.
The issue is that the phone re-boots in recovery and at 30 % of the green bar the installation fails. A red download icon shows in the middle of the screen and nothing happens.
In the past i flash some different recovery files but i returned to stock ( stock files that i found online for x64 - 16.0 MB (16,777,216 bytes) )
Can someone please advise if this could be related to my recovery image ?

I forgot you posted this already. I just received a 30MB update from Boost Mobile on the 32 bit version and it fails the same exact way yours does. I contacted HTC and Boost Mobile and it seems if it doesn't update properly we have to wait for HTC to release it in the form of a RUU, which I believe they will just wait for Lollipop and bundle this little fix in with the Lollipop update. I searched on their site to see if there was anyway we could manually update and it doesn't exist. There are only old ROMs. I tried some tricks to manually update and it failed every time. I am completely stock on the Boost Mobile RUU and I totally deleted everything before the install so there aren't any problems on my end. There is simply a problem with the way they are attempting to update our phones.
Pretty sure you cant update if unlocked and rooted. Has to be like out of the box running. I couldnt but I did update on my wifes locked/unrooted phone no problem. Took 10 minutes. Checking it out, couldnt really see much, if any, difference. 30mb is pretty small.

I am on the Boost Mobile stock RUU, locked, and unrooted.
I just noticed the error message in the stock recovery:
htc/sprint_wwe_vm/htc_a11chl:4.4.2/KOT49H/373881.1:user/release-keys" || file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "htc/sprint_wwe_vm/htc_a11chl:4.4.2/KOT49H/373881.2:user/release-keys"
Installation aborted.
Write host_mode:0 done
I did
adb shell
getprop ro.build.fingerprint on my phone and I got:
htc/sprint_wwe_vm/htc_a11chl:4.4.2/KOT49H/433600.1:user/release-keys
This is on the stock Boost RUU, locked, and unrooted.
There are some other items in build.prop that are different than what the update is looking for.
I am going to change them to what is in my phone and try again.
I don't expect it to work, but it can't hurt.
If it doesn't work, I'll try a stock Rom backup from this site, then try the update again.
Sounds good man. Check back in with the results, I'd like to see how it turns out for you. IMO though, I really think the update isn't worth all the hassle but I totally get it if you are/want to just get it to work. I'd probably do the same. good luck.

Thanks. I know it's not really worth the hassle, but I'm learning a lot by messing with it. It's not working, still. I may be wrong but I think they made a mistake with the build.prop when sending the updates to some of our phones. I think some of us just have to wait for Lollipop.

Stuck on Setup after TOT Restore for the Sprint LG G4
I ran into a problem after I followed the steps to restore my LG G4. Now I cant get through the setup process without it returning me to "Set Internet Connection screen". I have a video of this happening but I'm unable to post the link because I'm a new user.
It still returned me to the same screen after I connected to my home wifi and entered my google account info that I last used on there. I also have a video of this.

Ive tried restoring again and got the same result. Also, when I first ran the flash tool I got a "DBMS" window with four options. After doing some research I found out that this shouldn't be happening. So I made sure that the new MegaLock.ddll was being replaced but i still got the same window.

By pass DLL
I had the same problem and can fix it, you have to download this file and put it in the DLL option in LG Flash Tool, with TOT Sprint.

I'm not encountering that error but I keep getting "DoDownload Error!!!". When given the choice for DBMS, I tried both Korea one, and the Global one. I've read that I shouldn't be getting that prompt in the first place.

You need to download a hex editor and change the header of the tot file from the LS991 to the US991 version. When flashing use the board DL mode, not upgrade mode. Hope this helps.
Search for 991 and look for VLGLS991 and LS991ZV5_05, change it to your US991 file name. In the picture i modified it for the verizon rom I flashed. Yours will be different since you flashed the US991 version. Good Luck

Thanks, I tried this. It flashed but when the phone automatically rebooted, I got the download error on the flash tool. Is that normal? The phone booted properly but I haven't played around it yet. Will let you guys know after I played around with it.
If it flash pass 80% and phone reboot then you are good. Glad it work for you

Thanks, btw for those that tried this method. Is /carriers/app still in your phone? I can only find an empty /carrier directory.
EDIT: NVM, I tried inserting my non US GSM SIM and it's already being recognized. Will try if I'll have data.
EDIT2: Data is now working. I'm outside US.

For this problem you have to select the Board DL in LG Flash Tool

AFTER USE THIS METHOD MI LG has remained on a blue screen says factory reset status and puts a large 2

Try board DL mode, instead of Upgrade Mode. Good luck
