BIG Mess up after update

This morning I made an update via LG Pc Suite. The update was a large one but could not "see" what it was. My phone is rooted. After the update was finished I have lost root rights, lost the nvidia app, all pre installed games, I have rooted the phone again, tried to install rom manager and restore a back up made a week ago but also not working. The phone kept giving a failure notice when trying to run Titanium back up. I eventually did manage to manually install the last back up from recovery, but now phone is stauck on LG boot screen. Any help please. I think the only difference after the update this morning was the V10d instead of the V10c. thank you for your help.

I wouldnt have left you like that.
Well the solution was found here: http://www.usp-forum.de/lg-p990-opt...-lg-p990-optimus-speed-flashen-anleitung.html
Its in german but basically it says no more than things which are common sence to all devs but for a guy like me its like rocket sience. Its the smartflash procedure with a german rom.
The bad thing is that I have lost at least 6 hours of my life only to found this tiny little program that does wonders. Anyway I am really pissed off with LG because the rolled out an update (be careful out there with LG PC suite) which basically messed up my phone.
Cheers.

Well, 2 my experiments with official LG update ended up with "bricked" phone where only SmartFlash helped. I strongly discourage anyone from using it

This morning i tried searching for a new phone software update via LG PC suite and I got the notification that there is an update for the phone. Undortunately I cannot "see" what the hell this update is for. As I mentioned on the first post above, this is a rather large update. Does anyone know what this could be? Could it be a LGE Version (V10d)?

I have called LG customer service to ask them what this update is.. "If your phone is working properly you should not do the update" he said to me.... Sorry? Why do you release an update then?? "This is made automatically, the phone always finds updates"... so why didnt it find last week? "Well this may be a problem with your PC" What???? are you crazy? So you are telling me that when the 2.3 rolls out I shall not do the update becaue my phone works fine? "Yes Sir". I want to know what this update is... "This is the call centre sir, we do not know"...
Well If there is one reason to change the phone it would only be because of the customer service and their unreliability...

Customer service is everywhere the same,at least they picked up your phone
And yes, they dont have these informations usually, and getting them when responsible project does not issue any changelist is problematic. Its more like project management
issue , which should not be big suprise considering all the troubles...

I give up. I have called US (live chat). No help there. LG Swiss gave me their service centre office (another company).... nothing..
Well it must be a ghost update chasing me around.... hmmm root and ROM is the solution.

This morning I got an update message from the LG Updater that there is an update to download. This time it shows that the the New Version is V10D.. I am running on V10C.
Can anyone tell me please:
a) Should i update or not? The phone is rooted running stock rom
b) Does the "D" version imrpove something?
thank you

First off, thanks for the link..really appreaciate it. It work..my limping super soft brick 2x now can breathe again. Those german forum was not bad..a step by step instruction was given for newbie like me.
Owh btw, i say..no need to change to 10D as it is for german vodafone branded firmware while 10C for open firmware, that what it said in the link you gave us above.
Newbie on the block.

well I know...there is no answer over the google either...no one has this kind of problem
I will keep searching

Have you tried to directly flash a .kdz file? That should help, as your device came with 10a it should be a normal one and no developer.

I havent tried it yet...I will today when I come home...
I was researching a little...
how can I be sure that phone is not developer edition?
I got that phone for free from a cousine working in local lg office... he was saying that it's the final version...
there is a encription on the back of the model NOT FOR SALE...so that means it a developer edition, or not?
ofcourse, software is version v10a....
maybe it's not registred for sale so it wont update?
I found some tutorial, does someone know will that help and could I brick it this way? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861942

If you'll try the normal flash, you'll brick it almost for sure.
By that method you'll be able to flash it.
Pay attention to the tutorial before you start!

I did everything as in the tutorial...but I stopped at step 8...
I am using win 7, 64 bit edition and I connected to my laptop win xp 32 bit edition, I manage to install everything, but when I connect phone (vol up and usb cable) the computer never finds omap4430...when I look at device manager i get a new hardware for about 3 seconds and then everything dissapears...
I don't undestrand...
does it maybe has to be win 7 and 32 bit operational system or something else...
tnx anyway

I got the same Message when I tried to check for updates. On my phone the solution was to enable OTA in the hidden menu.

As far as I know, the flash method for developers phones must run in 32bit system.
About retail phones, just try to download the KDZ version you want to and flash it with the normal methode.
Good luck

Maybe even without sucess, when you flash by the "development way" (let's call it like that for now...), you overwrite the file system allowing to perform the normal flash after that.
Good for you.

[Q] Totally messed up Phone

all tries i made to unlock the bootloader, install a usable rom or install a working recovery failed.
my system is totally messed up. booting to recovery results in a lge_security error and my android system process consumes 75 % of the battery power, its empty after 7 hours with display usage at 2 %.
unlocking and installing new roms would take days of trying. and all the numerous hours and several sorts of attempts i spent on it were pointless. i just want to sell this piece of s**t but without a stock firmware its not possible.
is there a method to restore the phone to stock state with a LG software tool for selling ?
if so, does it also work with the 262-000 phone which is truly the worst product i ever bought ?
please help, this is far from usable, even with my connected batterypack it just discharges slower and starts to heat like a stove.
greetings and lot of thanks for your suggestions.

Seems as if i am not allowed to call members lazy when they don't try before they post, also seems i can't say it sucks to be them when they mess up their device and give up before they try anything

Lot of Thanks again.
I was looking for someone able to gíve an reply like "yes, there is such a kind of tool" or "no, there isnt".
The KDZ flashing methods and 90% of the tools here dont work or dont restore the recovery on 262-000.
I rather sell it really cheap than spending another days of my rare sparetime, just to discover i have to reflash KDZ with my current state.
Let me guess, you dont have the 262-000 version, so easy to speak for you, probably.

In future, if you don't know what your doing, then just don't do it, if this was your first device you was to mess with, then it should either have been a spare/old phone you wouldn't mind mucking up, flash the .kdz and see what happens, if you get bootloop it means progress, if your bootloader is not unlocked and you have the error, there is already a thread on it, just do a quick search, a softbricked 4x HD is worth less then half as much as a working 4x HD, try out the toolkit, and try get an adb connection, can be achieved through bootloops sometimes!

kdz flasher works on any version. if it doesnt work for you, try another usb port, or another os, or another computer. it must work, there's nothing telling it not to work in case it's 262-000. try kdz flasher, try lgflashtool, try another firmware. it must work, unless there's a hardware fault, but there most likely isn't

I have a 262-000 and I'm running vanir 4.3 without ANY problems...
I might have to say that the fault lies on you
But you should probably check your drivers or reinstall them if flashtool doesn't work for you.
Once had a similar problem caused by bad/wrong drivers.

win 8 here. flashed my phone uncountable times with KDZ updater.

Problem with vanir 4.3 on my P880
Hi ..
I just flashed the VANIR 4.3 on my P880 ,, every thing is ok & I can make outgoing calls , BUT I CAN,T recive any .... when some one dial in my number it t,s busy ( seems like Black list enabled for all incoming ) & I tdiabled Black list & still have the problem .. !!!!! ??? any Ideas ??
I tried CM10.2 & Mokee rom & it was working nice without problems & when I got back & flashed Stock Rom it worked OK too .... so there must be a trick in VANIR which i don,t know ...
i tried to send in the official VANIR thread but i couldn't, cause i,m not allowed cause i,m not a developer .
Edited :
Plrblem solved after applying Google Apps & connected to google services ..

the guide to go back to original rom is here.
if u wanna go give it a good try to install a custom rom, do it. your problem there is the adb drivers. u havent installed the adb drivers for the phone to go to adb and unlock the bootloader. if u cant install adb drivers , the easy way is to install the android sdk x32 version ( even if u r on x64 windows ) and update it. And i will agree on the above thread. u are lazy u should do a very very good search in forum for guides to help u do whatever u want. to root - unlock bootloader - install recovery - install a custom rom is like 30 minutes in total if u follow a good guide !
edit: oh i was really late to see the thread so problem is solved?

what is youre curent version? drf1?

The problem is when I go to stock recovery I get message like this:
Dm - verify verification failed
Check your DRK first..
I must solve this to be eneble to install update..
I dont know how..

Greetings, I'm new to this forum but I've followed it for a long time in the great HTC days of installing windows on their phones. I live in France (nobody is perfect )
On from the introduction, my girlfriend and one of her friend have batteries problem with their note4 since a couple of weeks now: the phone "dies" at 34% or so reported remaining battery power. It refuses to start again unless plugged, the first days the charging animation even reported 34 remaining power but now it starts at 0%. And though I've ordered a new battery, her friend did the replacement before us and it didn't fix her problem, so I guess battery replacement won't fix mine.
So if it's not the battery, it may be the software (it may be a hardware problem on the board but I don't think it suddenly stroke two note 4) So my question is, how do we know if this upgrade is currently installed ? Is it the "build number" N910FXXU1DRF1 and/or baseband version N910FXXS1DQA1 or something else ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

This means you've disabled encryption on the boot partition.
You'll have to flash the stock firmware via Odin.
Totally stock, no bells and whistles.

My note 4 was going through this exact issue.
You'll need either a brand new battery, or you'll have to do a full format and reinstall whatever software you had prior.

Can you explain me a little more about that encryption on the boot partition.
First I was download official stock firmware for my model sm-n910t T-Mobile, than flash it try Odin and the problem is still stay Odin didn't change nothing. I was havin an OTA update that i couldn't install because of this DM- verify verifications failed.
So I download Smart Switch and through that program install the latest update that was realised this year with security patch from August I think it's Baseband version with N910TUVU2EQI2, but still problem is stay.
Do I need something more to do in Odin or what?

Honestly, I can't tell you more than I already have.
DM-verity (encryption) has to be active for you to be able accept an update.

Stuck in bootloop after october update

Hi everyone, this morning the OTA update notified me that the october update was avaible for my phone, i started the update and after then it was working perfectly. When i was trying to unlock the phone, it started having some trouble recognizing or my face, either my fingerprint. So i decided to restart the phone, but back then it is contiously turning on and off, and sometimes it says "Android is updating your apps". When it is on i can try to use it but there is nor notification bar neither the back, home button. If i try to connect the phone to the pc, it is recognized. Can somebody help me? It is the european model, with exynos, 128 GB and 6 GB of RAM.

I would get the current stock firmware files for your phone model and the current version of Odin onto your laptop. Then just flash over everything. Try dirty flashing first (without wiping) as to not lose any data. If that doesn't work, wipe everything while flashing. You'll lose all your data and will have to set everything up again.

I honestly wouldn't bother trying to sort this yourself (And potentially making things worse), I'd just go straight to Samsung, you shouldn't be having to fix their mistakes.

Now this is what I worry about! Samsung needs to do better than this! It's bad enough that we dont get OTA updates in time and to then mess up my phone while giving me an already late update is so not good. Hopefully some day, we will see a change ?. I will surely know to back up all my data before any updates.. for whenever it comes....

I agree, the problem is that, before updating, i checked online if someone had issues with this update but i found nothing, so i decided to update... i won't do it again without backing up the phone before updating[emoji28][emoji28]
