Do we have to follow from step 1 and then flash rom?
Or we can boot into safestrap and flash TWRP as I already have EDL safestrap as per Jrkruse post

Last I remember he still had the arm folders in his Rom he gave me the info on assays kitchen(Not sure if I spelled it right). I've also seen s8+ roms(cough cough) that were fully deodexed and no arm folders even ran it on my s8 once but the resolution was too small for me lol.
Also got your pm but nothing was in there lol

Its been doing that. Said i was gonna try it sometime this weekend. Been having weird no signal issues i believe is related a baseband issue if i reboot be3n taking upto 5 min to get signal. I did a lot of blind tweaks after my last weeks reset and thinking i did something wrong

Um i know we dont really talk about telegram much any more but i got a semi private group with a few well known fellars but if any of you where to join you could probably ask cyborg or a few others for tips. It can be off topic a lot. And be quiet but the idea i had was to pretty much gather up as many devs and legit sources on unlocking and other mobile related services and have a big collaboration group. We all talk dev related everynow and then

So thats a xposed issue. There is a fix by modding a couple files somewhere. Since i dont run xposed i havnt faced it. I run a stock rooted that i tweak on my own. I havnt used cyborgs rom in a while due too a feww needed,debloated features. One was being bluetooth losing parings... I swapped over to this right before the fix was found and havnt bothered to try it but others said it works great. Me and several others came across the fix on xposed github. But since then its been posted a few places including some page on cyborgs many

Strange as I don't have exposed hell I might have the framework there but not the installer app I'll have to take a peak.
So yeah no xposed in my framework folder.
Also forgot to mention this is my personal BRB1 build deodexed with root
you need to post better noob friendly instructions on how to do this. got my phone to safestrap and did everything your instructions say once i pass step 8 and reboot phone just stays on a black screen and a blue light at the top left of the device stays on, also when i plug the device into the computer i can hear it connect.

I couldn't read it either so I used Google Chrome and had Chrome translate it for me. Basically the recovery is an apk and there is a chinese rom. I have tried the recovery but I have NOT tried rom yet and not sure if I want too as everything will most likely be in chinese.
The recovery Failed to restore the backup it made. It gave the following error
E:format_volume failed to unmount "/system"
Error while formatting /system!

Not installing anything on my phone that is not at least blessed by the devs here.
It's a site where I can't read the language and the app does things that I have no clue about.
Risk it if you want, but if you end up with a dead device or spyware; don't say I didn't warn you.
it's Chinese rom . I have already flash the rom and worked well
I'm guessing this is probably the same thing as the Chinese recovery that was "discovered" a couple weeks after the phone was released, just being rediscovered. Even if it's something different, if it's an .APK it's more than likely a flash tool rather than a recovery, seeing how the bootloader hasn't been unlocked and all. Also pretty sure it was a Chinese user who posted the other "recovery" and said it worked well for all functions. I dunno about anyone else, but seeing how I'm on Verizon (in the USA) and speak English, I have no use for a "Chinese ROM." Hopefully this goes without saying, but as tech_head said if you try flashing this "ROM" don't expect to have a working G3 when you're done. :silly:

may be U r right. I just post it here to see if someone can fix the problem.and the'' rom '' also have English language.. whatever I am not the guy who make this..
Hurray
This Rom works 100%! I'm on it right now after switching the language from Chinese back to English it is like a daily driver. We should get a dev to see this! Plus I translated the forum through Google chrome and it is a development forum for the vs985. EDIT: No Data and Random reboots only known issues.
hmmm. ill be looking into this later
I've been using this Chinese CWM bootstrap APK for the longest.... well really only a month because that's how long I've had my G3... I've used this in combination with the kitkat deodexer tool to create a deodexed stock rom which works perfectly.... This CWM is also useful in flashing general mods like the pure audio mod for instance also perfectly flashes (adds a nice volume boost as well).. HOWEVER, people are right to be sketchy about it. For one thing, I don't think this installs any spyware on your phone like some have suggested, but it's by no means a full proof recovery either... yes system backups work, but don't dare try to restore it by any means or you'll get an error after it wipes your system to begin restore, and then you'll have to flash back to stock. Also don't do anything stupid like try and flash TMobile roms to your Verizon G3, because even though it will allow you to flash it and say it completed successfully, you will be overwriting your kernel with an insecure kernel and you will not be able to boot your device up at all.... also if you do something this stupid, you will also block yourself from being able to flash back to stock because your phone will think it's a D851 and not a VS985... Finally, I'd also avoid flashing this Chinese rom... yeah it worked and booted for me, but I had no 4g... I'm sure that if you back up your apn settings beforehand, you'll be fine, but still I'd just avoid it. So long story short, use this recovery, but don't expect miracles from it. Devs should really look into decompiling this bootstrap apk and fixing the mount points, and then we'd have a full functioning tethered CWM.

If you have any left over odex files in system, I probably didn't bother deodexing them as they are bloatware apps that got deleted.

Install of your zip is working great except I'm missing the LG Keyboard.
I bring to you completely stock builds of Lollipop (N915PVPU2BOC8). Built from the official Samsung tar. The rom is rooted and has init.d/busybox support. Knox and Sprint Itson has been removed completely. The roms are available as odexed and deodexed . Also included in every rom is the OC8 modem and HLOS patch to ensure you have the latest modem with this rom. (the HLOS patch is the factory Samsung modem patch and I simply added it in just like the official tar. I have no other details, it is official from Samsung and apparently has an important purpose.).
Other than having root, the removal of Knox & Itson, these roms are completely stock in every other way. These roms are stock and will stay that way. Please don't ask for mods, changes, etc in this thread. These roms are intended for those people who want the stock roms in their original form with the addition of root and removal of Knox & itson as well as other members who need a good solid base for their rom projects. I WILL NOT add the hotspot mod to this stock rom. there is a seperate thread for this. Some people actually pay for the hotspot and the mod does not need to interfere in any way for those people.
I give permission for other dev's/chefs to use this rom as your base and I highly recommend that you do so because it is bug-free and built from the official Samsung .tar. However I do expect credit if you use this rom or portion of it for any other project. If you like my work please press that Thanks button and consider making a kind donation for my efforts. Enjoy!
Important Note: Before flashing ANY Lollipop ROM. including this one, you MUST first have done one of the following: Taken the Lollipop ota update OR odin flashed the stock N915PVPU2BOC8_N915PSPT2BOC8_SPR rom tar. If you are still on any KK based rom (including any KK AOSP/CM based roms) then you MUST first update to Lollipop by one of the two methods I mentioned BEFORE flashing either of these roms..
Flashing instructions: ***Before beginning the flash/setup process MAKE SURE your battery has at least 50% charge and/or connected to the charger!!!***
1. Backup anything you don't want to lose off your internal storage to another location.
2. Download the rom using your pc. (downloading with your phone has a much higher risk of file corruption. Not recommended with large files).
3. VERIFY the md5!!! Once the download has finished, compare the AFH md5 using a md5 tool on your pc. (Google is your friend).
4. Put the downloaded rom onto your internal storage or external micro sd card.
5. With phone powered off, reboot into recovery by pressing and holding volume up, power and the home button until you see the samsusung logo then release all buttons.
6. Once in recovery choose the wipe button and do a factory reset three times. Optional but recommended is to do a "Data" wipe. This will wipe all of your internal storage so MAKE SURE you backed up first like i said in step #1 above! Then go to "advanced wipe" and select all of the partitions EXCEPT micro-sd card and internal storage. Internal storage is optional but recommended on first time flashing Lollipop.
7. Choose the "Install" option and select the rom "N915PVPU2BOC8_Odexed/Deodexed_Stock_ROM" from either your internal or external micro-sd card. It will flash the rom and give a confirmation once completed.
8. Press "Reboot" then "reboot system".
9. Initial rom setup will take several minutes and remain on the yellow Sprint Spark screen for at least 13 minutes (definately much longer than what you are used to). Let the phone setup/optimize for at least 15 minutes and the screen WILL eventually turn off once it finishes.
10. When you see the screen turn off, you can proceed with the setup wizard. Once finished with setup wizard wait a few moments and the phone will automatically install the sprint apps. You must either "accept" or "disagree" with each and every google prompt for these apps or else the installs pause untill you do so.. Also you will be prompted for the "connections optimizer". Quickly set it to what you want and close it. That's it! You're done!
flashing anything on your device is done at your own risk. There is no way myself or any other developer can guarantee that flashing this ROM or any other file will not brick your device or otherwise cause some other type of damage. This is just a standard warning. I am not responsible for anything that you do to your device.

Quick question about the hybrid rom. It may be similar with stock but every once in a while I bump the phone and the screen turns on. Is there a way to turn off that feature or is that even an option?
Thanks and sorry to post in this stock thread but I just don't know if it's a glitch or a feature that is turned on.
Edit: I'm an idiot. It was a notification app I downloaded and completely forgot I had done so. Removed no more screen coming on.

Do i have to have rood and custom recovery. Or just be 100% lollipop? And by this having
No KNOX/Itson will it still trip the counter?

Yes you have to have root and TWRP custom recovery is the recommended recovery (just use note 4's twrp it'll be a little jumpy but it works) and i don't believe it trips the counter I wanna say I'm 95% sure it doesn't

The answer is yes to all of your questions. I think you should do more research before tampering with your phone so that you first know exactly what you're doing and secondly learn how to do what's required to flash a custom/stock rom. You WILL trip the KNOX coynter on your phone if your root and flash non official roms. There's more information about this, just search.

This may or may not be a feature on the Note Edge. I haven't heard of it before. The only feature that I know of that is similar on the regular Note 4 is the vibration upon picking up the phone to notify you of notifications. But this doesn't turn on the screen. I suspect your issue is somehow part of the stock rom because I haven't changed anythin in the rom that would cause anything like this. I'm not familiar with the Note Edge.
I will build a new X-Series rom with V4A if there is enough interest and continued support from users.
I would like to see hot-spot unlocked in the next version. I really appreciate this..

Not to be rude,but there is a thread directly below this one dedicated to the hotspot mod. Just a little reading might keep more of these developers, who are doing this for free for us from just calling it quits. Again just my thoughts.

Just wanted to post because I try albeit a little but I Really appreciate all of the developers. For some reason this took longer than expected because of outdated credit cards in my PayPal account. Thank you tx_dbs_tx!

I can read just fine and no one cares about ur thoughts. I was just asking to incorporate the hotspot mod with the next rom so we don't have to flash multiple times and manual delete files for people new to flashing. Donation made

Built for my Dev Edition but should work on the converted retail devices.
1. Full backup
2. Wipe EVERYTHING
3. Flash Roasted Marshmallow V2
4. Enjoy.
What's removed... everything. I only kept the Google stuff that reinstalls itself anyway and the base stuff to run the phone. Allshare, ANT, knox, verizon apps, etc. All gone.
this is a rebuild of the rom from an ADB pull of my current build without the apps i added for my daily use. should be pretty much bare bones.
android version: 6.0.1
baseband: cpd1
Kernel : 3.10.40 ([email protected]) [the one in the "marshmallow bootloader unlock" thread, i didnt change this]
thanks goes out to the devs that made the bootloader unlock thats made this possible for so many more people that didnt have an original dev edition.
Lol broken WiFi is is a major problem but hey, you just did more than I ever have so I'll flash it to see if all goes well

Actually asks for decryption key so I can't download

Oops, try the link now. I am not used to sharing with mega yet.
Also on a side note, the WiFi may be broken because i am still using the KK bootloader 1ANL1. When i upgraded to MM i skipped out on the bootloader and just flashed the modded stock tar withough a bootloader so i wouldnt overwrite my dev edition boot.
those who took the update may not have a WiFi issue, but i included it in the broken because it is broken on mine and that may not be the only issue. if you flash it on yours and the WiFi works then i'll know thats the issue and i'll just change it to "WiFi broken if you are still using 1ANL1 bootloader".
also if you still cant download with that link let me know, and i'll move it to dropbox or something else.
Edit: WiFi fixed when I updated bootloader. So if you are on native Dev Edition do the full process where you flash the non Dev bootloader, convert back to Dev then upgrade to MM. Then you can flash in TWRP and all should go well.

Okay I flashed it and nothing happened, I just factory resetted and flashed it again and all the apps are still there. I also just upgraded to twrp 3.0.2.0 so I am going to downgrade it again and see if that was the reason nothing happened.
Downgraded back to TWRP 3.0.0.0 and flashed it again, and still no changes

There's another debloat script that works on our phones, the problem is it deletes so many things that it also removes access to private mode, it's here thanks to Danterape
Ok it only works on that particular rom apparently, it causes bootloops on stock
I tried installing the rom and it took awhile to boot up. I was able to connect to my wifi but setup forced closed before the end. I was forced to go through setup again and again with the same force close. I tried to go through setup with wifi, without wifi, with my sim card, without my sim card. It made no difference. I am on lollipop 5.01
I took a look at the zip, and it looked awfully small. There seems to be a LOT of files missing, and several empty folders that a normal ROM would have chock FULL of stuff. Like, the "priv-app" app folder is 100% empty. What happened to all the file that should be there? And the list of stuff in "system/app" ends at "FlashAnnotateSvc". There should be a ton more things there.
Is there something I'm missing here?
sorry my internet is bad lately, it probably got corrupted, i'll take it down and re-up i'll remove the links until fixed.
the file is on my laptop so i'll have to try it from there later this evening. sorry for inconvenience. Also if anyone wants it i can upload the archi kitchen files i used in making it.
Sounds good. I'm actually using your zip as a reference for mine. Might need some help getting mine going more.
Let's get some life back into the 915V!

Sounds great, i'd love to work with you on this. myself being limited on time it'd be nice to have someone to bounce ideas to/from. I am still relatively new to rom making so it'd be an excellent learning experience for me as well. not sure what tools you are using currently, but i am running archi kitchen on linux mint 18. the kitchen isnt officially supported anymore so it took a bit to setup, but i find it easy to use. at least it was pretty easy for 4.4.4.... 6.0.1 is giving me a little headache, lol copying the system folder keeps getting interrupted, which i overlooked before somehow, but many of the odex files are >100kb and terminal emulator keeps throwing an error out, so right now i am running adb and pulling the folder that way. once i repack it you can have a huge head start there
here is the old 4.4.4 zip
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gfy850bbb9aq18n/superdebloatedwithalittlebloat.zip?dl=0
for reference...
Uploads finished, enjoy and let me know what you think.
Still can't get native tethering running but luckily foxfi still runs on 6.0.1
I have same phone as you, and it just bootloops--gets to screen with Custom, and reboots. (V2)
NekoShinigami, if you want to use my v2.00 ROM as a base, go for it. Might save you quite a bit of headache. I tend to find it much easier if you start by using a factory image, and go from there.
I tried flashing again and it runs fine for me. Did you get the full 1.18gb? I'll take another look at it again.
Also did you upgrade to the unlocked 6.0.1 bootloader?
Edit: nevermind I just read in the other thread that you did not, that is most likely why you are boot looping. This rom and the kernel that is in it won't run on the 1ANL1 bootloader.
got echoe rom working without having to flash to tmobile firmware like one poster did. yes on the sprint s7 variant. started on universal firmware, rooted. then i flashed stang5litre rom. couldnt get data to work on it. so i then flashed echoe and it worked!! yes i did a full data wipe each time... had to edit build prop (310120), then add apn2 in apn settings. everything works... not sure if it has to do with stang5litre, or i could have just flashed over universal firmware.
Dam i would b down to flash the universal rom then echoe but i dont wana go do both if it doesnt work lol.
What are the apn settings I would need to change? Thanks a ton. I flashed over the u firmware before and data,etc wasn't working. Didn't know what to do for apn settings

Flash, set it up, install flashier. Have the echoe rom ready on your sd. Root, hurry up and flash the file. It may take a few tries of it rebooting to get it to work.

Yea i kept trying to root it but it kept rebooting before it could get rooted. Then when the phone would boot back up the root program would fail and reboot the phone. I got mad and stopped lol
no phone calls or texts
sorry for getting your hopes up guys. realized today i couldnt make texts or phone calls on the rom. looks like an activation issue.

I would suggest then change the misleading title of the forum...
wow... that was a while ago. i was one of the first people to get it to actually boot. i didnt check for msges or calls the first day... so sue me. if you can't take the time to read all the forum posts then maybe you shouldnt be here. there is a guide on the s7 edge forum that shows you how to get the rom working. it involves flashing pe1 or pf2 verizon firmware. don't be an ass dude.
you gotta pay to play...
man, i miss the days of the s3, when i could do anything to that phone after having invested in a riff box. hook that sucker up to the board and fix the hardest of bricks in minutes. i dont even know if these phones are jtaggable now... i should look into it... this board is just depressing. they completly murdered what would have been a great community... its a shame.
sorry, typing with broken keyboard. no shift key.
1.Take ur Sim out
2. Flash https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529141701856461081

with very little activity lately for the LGV20, specifically the H918 T-Mobile variant, I created a TWRP flashable package for the recent H91810q release. this zip flash every partition included in the latest KDZ package with the exception of recovery to keep TWRP. standard disclaimer applies, you do all of this at YOUR OWN risk! because 10q is not rootable, you need to be root'd before flashing this! failure to do so will probably cause you to lose root and/or lose TWRP! and worst of all, because 10q can't be downgraded to 10j (last version where you can still obtain root via dirtycow) because of Anti-RollBack, you're fscked!
NOTE1: you can find the partitions that will be flashed in the updater-script. to be extra cautious you can back up all of the partitions that will be overwritten with the following: dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/{partition} of=/external_sd/backup/{partition}.img.
NOTE2: boot partition has been modified only to remove rctd, nothing else so I consider this to still be stock
Instructions:
download H91810u.zip file listed below and put on microSD card
download your choice of root and put on microSD card, choose from either Magisk or SuperSU *Note: v12.0 of Magisk does not work with the LGV20 device in general and v14.0 is recommended.
backup any data from internal "SD card"
boot into TWRP (requires TWRP recovery to already be installed)
create a TWRP backup of the device
flash zip from microSD card by using "Install"
FLASH YOUR CHOICE OF ROOT - Flashing root is VERY IMPORTANT BEFORE REBOOTING!
reboot
profit!
Download:
H91810q.zip
old 10q md5sum: 8c2e76ded9759a63b1ffac86f3941649
new 10q md5sum: c7d4086b3a0a786d1501ef7e4ce22f32 - re-zipped in Linux for proper alignment
H91810r.zip
wrong 10r md5sum: 9e2e1f8c56079d7bf629ce5e375d7551 (this is actually the md5sum for the KDZ)
correct 10r md5sum: 194b2bc41aa6dbdd7b9a371392f7b930
H91810s.zip
10s md5sum: f187fdefe4c3612c5811e9fbeb0748c5
H91810t.zip - rctd and triton both disabled, previous versions only removed rctd
10t md5sum: b00c2f644b15eb15e459c48830caa5da
H91810u.zip - rctd and triton both disabled, previous versions only removed rctd
10u md5sum: f51b2b11a30dc448b0da0edc750bb587
Flashing Process (what flashing this zip does):
flash necessary partition images with the exception of recovery (to keep TWRP) from the KDZ
rename /system/recovery-from-boot.p to /system/recovery-from-boot.bak to prevent stock recovery from being installed on boot
wipes dalvik-cache and cache
BIG thanks to @McNutnut on guidance, as well as his script to put all of this together!
also thanks to @bullghost for the KDZ extractor (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600575)
@Tilde88 for the original updater-script template w/root (https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/us996-nrd90m-modded-notsostock-rom-v5-1-t3526542)

Dude, thanks for whipping this out so fast! (TWSS) I will get right on making a debloated rom from this. Is it ARB 1?
So I HAVE to flash root? Sometimes I don't flash root because of my gear S3 watch.
I just flashed but still showing 10p. But the kernel info shows Sept 12. So the kernel is updated but wondering on why it still shows 10p on software info @ about phone.

yep, for some reason using Windows to create zip files causes inconsistencies. I've zipped up everything in Linux this time and double checked the updater script to make sure everything is good to go and am uploading it as I type...

First of be advised that this is anti roll back. Once on it you can't go backwards to other older roms. In reference to your problem you'll have to do a battery pull. Put battery back in. Now hold down volume down and power button at the same time, when you see LG screen release power button for two seconds then push again holding down power. During all this never release volume down. Now you'll get a reset screen with yes and no option. Use volume key to choose yes, twice..... This will get you back to TWRP. In your case I wouldn't even bother with back up but you can try again if want. What I would do is flash something else that I know works. Then decide from there what to do... Maybe redownload again. May be corrupt some how. I assume your on h918. Hope so! Good luck.

Well we really don't know if your system went to 10q now, so........ You can try again. On both, the backup or 10q. Since you know now how to get to TWRP with battery pull you can try both, see what works. Try backup first. If it doesn't work you may have system in 10q now being you backed up a 10k system may not work now. If it doesn't try q again. If that doesn't work then download 10p or redownload 10q and side load on TWRP from computer. Then flash again. These are steps I would do.. if someone tells you different then it's your choice. Different ways for different things.

so 10q is showing up. i am having issues with the modem i believe because i dont get tmobile recepetion and as soon as i put into airplane mode, the error message stops.
I haven't tried the 10p weta kernel yet but it may not work being this stock kernel on 10q is updated to the September security patch. May try later today.
First off, thanks for keeping my beloved H918 alive!. Thought all future dev for the V20 was dead.
Now a question. Any timeframe on a debloated version? Not in a hurry mind you, just curious.
