Alaska Communication Systems' newest offering, the LG Ignite (AS855) seems to be a device of many names.
As I seek out a ROM for this phone that will meet the "special" tethering needs of my Transformer Prime (TF201), I want to make sure that I proceed appropriately.
There seems to be next to nothing posted online about root, ROM etc for the LG Ignite.
1. Is this device identical to the LG Marquee and/or LG Optimus Black?
2. Since ROM Manager does not have a ClockworkMod Recovery for this device yet, what is the best way to safely install a custom ROM?
3. I am looking for a ROM that will provide native infrastructure WiFi broadcasting capability, any suggestions?
Here are some more specific specs:
Model Number
LG-AS855
Android Version
2.3.4
Baseband Version
AS855ZV2-M6600A-SCAUTSZ-3.0.40T
Kernel Version
2.6.35.7
[email protected] #1
Build Number
GRJ22
SW Version
AS855ZV2
HW Version
Rev 1.0
SCR Version
AS855ZV2_ACS
Looks like it's Marquee super-twin brother
it runs on CDMA right ?
Yep. ACS runs a CDMA network up here... I didn't see any Marquee resources in the XDA Developers forums... I'm trying to be a good noob and phrase the right question in the right place...
If I could find a resource for Marquee's I could explore any existing information on WiFi/BT tethering there....
I'm sure the native wireless hotspot feature would probably work just fine if I paid the $20 additional per month to activate it; but since I've been able to successfully tether several other mobiles without provider activation, I thought it was too soon to give up on the Ignite/Marquee.
The weird thing is, I am able to successfully tether any windows-based device using WiFi Tether 3.0 v.11, but it won't show up in my list of networks on the TF201... I've read a few things that say this is because ICS doesn't work with ad hoc WiFi tethering, but even when tethering to a laptop the Ignite has always given a "ad hoc connection failed" alert when tethering ... So it's not overlooking it because it is broadcasting in ad hoc...
Seems To be same as Optimus Black and Marquee
CDMA
http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-AS855-ignite
US version GSM
http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-LG855-marquee
EUROPE version GSM

But i think you need different kernel version for CDMA
I have an AS855 with a different carrier but at all specs match yours. I used SuperOneClick to root mine.
Still no custom recovery for it that I can find. Probably won't find any ROMS until there's a recovery for it. I read somewhere that the Black, Marquee and Ignite are not the same when it comes to the boot and recovery partitions.
Craptorman,
I have the same specs as well. Is yours by chance Alltel? Ive tried everything I can to root, including SuperOneClick and to no avail. SOC just stops responding? Did you do anything special?
No not Altell, just a small local telephone coop carrier. First make sure you have the USB drivers etc loaded and have ADB working. Then I ran SOC v2.3.2.0, on Advanced tab I checked "Use alternative ADB Parser", set exploit to auto and then clicked the root button.
I saw a comment on SOC website where someone with same phone and specs succesfully rooted theirs so I tried it and it worked great.
Gotcha. Finally got mine to root last night. Had to manually instal l all the drivers in device manager. I wish they would release some roms now.

LG Ignite
I have the LG Ignite, exact same phone from Alltel. I have managed to root mine with SOC, after installing drivers from LG website. My knowledge beyound rooting is very little. I havent found any luck with Rom Manager, and anytime I have ever tried to get into the Factory Reset menu / Boot Loader, or even run a Rom Back up in Rom Manager it has totally wiped my phone's Rom/app's/Data and reset it as if was brand new in the box. although Root and Super User has always remained. I thought my Ignite and the Black were the exact same phones. I do not know what is different from CDMA and GSM other than the Radio's. If I have any understanding how any this works, you have a Rom, which is aOS, then you have a Boot partition and a Radio Rom, as well as I assume the other parts are Roms or Partitions holding data.
I would appreciate if someone would break the structure of things down for me.
My understanding is that you could download ICS source, and compile it along with the kernel like any Linux OS and choose drivers based on the Factory Rom. Or use the old Drivers and incorporate them into a new OS build. and I guess use the old or factory Radio file/data. Beyond software features and changes in file system structure and support, what controls the visual appearance of the phone's software or OS? would that be the Rom?
I found some info that may help but I can't post links yet. Just google "Re: LG Marquee has CWM recovery." and the first ones that come up should be what I had found.

I think I have one ready for testing, check your PM on UPP for what else I need. Found a few answers here in this thread.
Just need to know if this phone has an internel sdcard.
Was zergrush the exploit used to root?
And an output of
Code:
cat proc/mounts
And finally, do yall have a way to restore back to stock is case of a booboo? Like a .tot and its acompanying .dll file you can flash with LGNPST?
I wish I could answer these questions to speed up the development but they are way over my head. It does have a sdcard. Where can I learn more about the kernels, dlls, and etc?

Zerglings were used for exploit. as for the other files i do not have or understand. But keep me informed of progress please, Im interested if we can get ICS compiled and running on our phones. Also if anyone knows of any updates too wireless as I find I ave to run a widget to disable Power management for wireless in order t get good solid connections to all wifi access points.
Just sent Craptorman a test zip to test out.

If the phone is already rooted will that mess anything up trying to root again with the tools/zip you sent me?

it shouldnt esp if what has been used to root is using zergrush as the exploit.
Has anyone figured out the button combination to get into the factory recovery?
What is your test zip suppose to contain and what is it suppose todo? I have no issues rooting with superoneclick 2.2-x.x. using zerg rush as exploit.

It is a CWM Recovery for the LGAS855 (Ignite). It roots the phone using the zerg rush method and then install the CWM Recovery. This Recovery allows you to make a nandroid back of your current rom (backup of everything basically). You can also install custom roms with it. You can also restore any backups of your rom that you made.
So if you flash a custom rom and something doesn't work, you can reboot into the CWM Recovery and restore the one that does work. Normal you can boot into the CWM Recovery with a button combinatation like power-volume down. My concern is that this button combination doesn't work and we would be stuck with it rebooting and resetting the phone each time.
I may be wrong on some of this. Maybe Playfulgod can shed some more light on this.
SO i almost got no sleep last night since I tried to flash/root/unlock my phone to put google play edition rom on my htc one sprint (I now know there is no such rom) so I accidently deleted something and messed up phone, luckily a very nice guy helped me out and sideboot a custom rom similar to the offical stock htc one sense 5 OS. anyways I found a backup on my computer that I made and now i'm looking to get it on my phone and flash back to my original OS that came out of the box.
I am really new to this so if anyone can chat me through this ill be on google plus right now
There is a Google play edition Rom for sprint by gruesomewolf but just ruu if you want stock but you need to relock your bootloader back first

any questions just ask
If you want to use your backup thats on your pc just make a backup of the rom you have now then go on the pc and find the folder on your SD card it will be in (TWRP) or (CWM) and paste the backup from your pc into that folder with the one you just made... go into recovery and restore....done!
Download the RUU
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22979706399752931
Then unzip, and run from your PC. It will put it back to 100% stock OS. You plug your phone into the USB cable before running it, it will cause your phone to reboot and install to factory. Once it is completely done, about 10 minutes later, you will be able to activate it, and have to run the Over The Air (OTA) update.
Good Luck!
We got it fixed
I've tried 3 different Roms and get this error..an error has occurred. ..try restarting etc etc.
Searching will give you full answer. Basically you have to go back to stock and start over.

I bought my white note 4 on Oct 30 or 31, can't remember, I read all the problems with this fingerprint scanner stuff, but I did not root for 2 days. and the past 2 days I did everything I was on NIH, and when testing my stock odexed roms, I had the fingerprints saved, but when I flashed, I couldn't log in, so when I deleted the saved fingerprints is when this happened, the error messages,
I did the firmwares so many times for the NIH, did not work... :crying: I then upgraded the firmware to NJ7 same thing, could not get it working...
I went to another tmobile store, and the guy went into downloader mode.. shocked me,, but he said I need to goto where I bought the phone to change it out, he didn't have any note 4... but he went and reset the phone and didn't work...
when I got home, I called tmobile 611... and went through the process and they said, they don't have any replacements, since I didn't buy the phone from them, they can't send a new phone, for me to goto the tmobile store I bought the phone, but no one has the note 4.. call back next week and we can send a replacement.
I called the corporate store today, they had 2 in black, I really wanted the white, but I took the black anyway.. lucky they were so busy, they didn't check the phone and swapped everything out.
I guess im gonna wait a bit before rooting and flashing the phone, to see what everyone finds out.
I have the same problem with my note 4. tried everything already so it may be hardware related. will buy a home button replacement from ebay hopefully that helps will update if successful
OK guys, if any one can actually help me with this... I will be eternally grateful, as my return time frame is up.
Stupidly I flashed a rom that clearly said before wiping anything to remove the finger print settings... Of course I forgot and flashed anyways. Regardless the flash failed, so obviously i recovered a nandroid. But thats is where the problem escalated. After recovery I noticed that i was getting an error on the finger print set up. OK, whatever I Odin flashed back to stock (sammobile of course) after the device was back to stock... LAG... not just a little lag... ridiculous lag. Since this has been the case I have Odin flashed repeatedly trying to resolve, with very little luck.
I have disabled in dev settings the Animation scale, to no avail...
PLEASE GOD SOMEONE GIVE ME SOME GOOD NEWS ON THIS. I early hardware upgraded this from rogers and paid out the ass for it, and of course have lost my ability to return the device as it was working flawlessly before I unleashed my stupidity on it...
*bangs head on desk*

I forgot to wipe my fingerprint settings my first time, too. Not a big deal. Totally fixable.
First things first.
Have you done a factory reset?
Yeah, I'd start with a factory reset, as well.
Rogers is the Canadian version correct?
How many stock versions of the firmware do you guys have?
We have 2 in America. Anj and ank.
If you guys have more than one which are you flashing?
The lag is the stuff you did after you messed up the finger printer scanner trying to fix it.
Does your private mode work?
If not have you tried the private mode fix?
Factory reset has been attempted repeatedly, to no avail...
Privacy mode does work actually.
Rogers has 2 firmwares on sammobile, i have odin flashed both. But lag is still persisting.
Its literally every other word i type. Driving me MENTAL LOL

You guys are awesome for the assistance btw. This is the first time in 4 Samsung devices ive done something that im SERIOUSLY concerned was going to be... Unfixable.
I could care less about the finger print scanner, the lag is... Bad.

Are you using team win recovery or clockwork mod.
And, what if anything have you wiped through recovery?
Which rom did you flash?
Attempted flashing ib4stids rapture rom.
At the moment im stock unrooted, was using twrp, his instructions advised to factory reset, then advanced wipe data, system, cache, dalvic... I think that was it without looking at the page.
Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk 4
I'd re root. And then try firekat.
Making sure of course you didn't leave old fingerprint files.
Then try out the fp scanner and check for lag and report back.
Im experiencing the same exact thing, tried to go stock rom and factory reset three times. I even redownlaoded everything and did it all over again. Tried firekat, dynamic rom, and even cm12 runs a little sluggish. I'm getting a replacement phone at least
So does this lag come from not wiping your fingerprint from your STOCK rom before you flashed a new rom?
Weird thing is, on my other note 4 I never experienced this. I'm pretty sure I forgot to delete fingerprints and then I flashed firekat and no lag.
Thanks guys, MERRY XMAS, if you guys are into that. I have a few thoughts atm, but am away from my pc till tonight. I am determined to get this resolved, and will be checking back and updating on progress as it happens.
Thank you all for the assistance, definitely renewing my faith is Xda.

ok
1
When I do a start over flash at the moment I flash anj.
I don't know what tmobile put into ank and until I do its not going on my phone.
(The canadian fellow would flash the earlier version of the rogers stock rom).
Using Odin 3.04. (I'm just not as happy with the later versions of Odin).
2
I flash chainfire.
3
Then the team win recovery.
4
I flash firekat before the phone tries to update.
5
I do the sd card fix with the team win recovery.
6
I do the private mode fix with the team win recovery.
7
I update my modem to ank with the modem trick.
(Canadian users do not have the modem.bin files to do this at this time and should leave their modems alone). I'll try to rip them. It doesn't matter anyway. The 2 modems available are the same anyway.
8
My root apps come back automatically.
Adfree, cachemate, titanium, etc
9
I freeze the bloat.

I love firekat btw and all the other roms, of course.
But I'm recommending it because it's the longest running rom. Known to work on the Canadian version of the note 4 and he's been fixing lag / and it's similar enough to stock to fix errant flashing.
And from the set up described you could flash any TouchWiz based rom.
That's about right.
Throwing a factory reset in the mix can help as well. I'm coming back from stock Odin flashes with the same background and ring tones and settings etc.

I wanted to run this by you guys. If i were to intentionally mess up the phone. IE pull the cable mid odin flash. then repair via kies... would that fix this issue?
Thoughts? Concerns? Input? Obviously I am going to wait for input from people before i do something this drastic. But I think it might resolve?
I wish it was a defective issue. The devise was used to 2-3 weeks before I decided to flash a rom, causing this... The phone was flawless until i messed it up.

It really won't update everything and you won't have the full COD6 update. Suggest you buy/borrow a windows computer and use odin.
Along with most backups if I made one it would have a lot of my back up info. What do you think would happen if I am using let's say twrp 2.8.4 and your not. Or it uploaded with my efs. You flash then wonder why you have a brick. Or lets say a file got curroupted in upload or download. Way to much gonna go wrong. Ur free to try but I doubt you will find this a good path.

That method is what I was trying to do, but if it was a kit Kat rom fine but every one keeps saying you have to use Odin before you can install lollipop. Also that's what led me to flashing the cod modem through twrp.
.....The name says it all. But I don't need a laptop currently, I'm away from my desktop and I don't know when I'll be near it again. I drive in a semi, throughout the states. That's why I made this unusual request. Later down the line I may get one but for now I like desktops.
That's why I was saying stock.... I should have also said before you actually complete the.......hmm times like this I wish mobile Odin would work for this phone.
