As any of you who have the m7 know, I created the ruu to convert a sense m7 to a gpe edition complete with ota's. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781
We would like to get all the partitions dumped so that we can use the images to fully convert our normal M8's into full fledged Google Edition Ones.
Before you do ANYTHING with it (before you root, before you flash a recovery etc...) Follow these directions courtesy of cschmitt Found Here This will ensure we get all the partitions
I have pasted the steps below. This will help the community out greatly!
script that uses adb to dump and pull every partition from a One, excluding cache (meaningless) and userdata (to large).
He would need adb and fastboot on his computer, no need for S-off, since we are only reading partitions.
Generally the process would be:
Download a recovery from here: DO NOT FLASH! just download it for now..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2698134
Enable USB Developer options and USB debugging on phone.
Connect phone to usb, install drivers from zip folder if prompted.
Copy SuperSU-v1.41.zip to sd card. (outdated just download the latest from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip)
Reboot into bootloader. (Power off, hold power on an vol-down.)
Open command prompt into \htconedump folder.
Unlock bootloader, fastboot oem unlock should do it.
Reboot back into bootloader (via hboot menu.)
From command prompt:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.3-m8_ul_ca.img [B](Take note we are not flashing recovery, just booting into it so we can root. If you flash the recovery we will not be able to get the stock GE recovery pulled)[/B]
Once TWRP boots,
do a backup of system, boot and recovery (make sure recovery is ticked as it's usually not) untick data (we don't need it for this)
Now lets see if we have root access in recovery.... While still in recovery open up a command prompt on your computer and type "adb shell" without the quotes.. then if it detects the device type "su" your prompt should change from a $ to a #
if that doesn't work then just contact me and we will figure it out if all fails we can just flash super su and then pull the partitions that way and I can just unroot the system partition before I do the conversion
flash SuperSU-v1.41.zip via TWRP to root device.
If you did get root access at the shell now run this:
Run pullmmc01-37.cmd command script from a windows command prompt.
Zip up the dump directory containing all of the mmcblk0p??.bin files.
I've packaged everything up into a zip file containing ADB, fastboot, HTC drivers, superuser.zip, TWRP image, and the pullmmc01-37.cmd command script.
[/QUOTE]
LINK to download DUMP script. This will dump every partition except userdata and cache (paritions mmcblk0p01-mmcblk0p45, 46 and 47 are cache and userdata)
http://d-h.st/aAg
Also make sure to take note of your CID in the bootloader and also report that in this thread. You can get this by running fastboot getvar all while in the bootloader. The MID and the CID will be listed. Please make note of both.
I would advise anyone doing it that they do it without fully setting up the phone because once you unlock the bootloader it will wipe your data. So boot into android and just skip through the whole set up process because you'll just have to do it again after you unlock the bootloader
Ha! I sat in irc with you and tested some zips for the m7. Glad to see you're wanting to do the same thing as I was about to buy an AT&T and was looking for the conversion thread.

One more question?
If buy the google play edition, can i convert it to developer edition and put sense? I know why would anyone want to do that. But just want to try Sense 6. Also, in terms radios google play edition is the best since it has all the radios. Other models have some or the other radio missing.

So....did some reading AND....
If you live in a refarmed 2G area for T-Mobile, than you'll get 4g (aka H+) and be a-okay. T-Mobile LTE will be fine also...given you already live in a lte market.

Ok so I have finally finished the Snapdragon version of the SGS3 ToolKit but as I dont own this version phone I NEED some testers for each carrier before I can release it to make sure adb root and other functions work fine.
I am going to release this as a seperate version to the International S3 ToolKit mainly so you Snapdragon users get your own special love
I need at least 1 tester for each supported carrier for the initial version:
[TESTED] AT&T
[TESTED] SPRINT
[TESTED] TMOBILE
I will also be adding VERIZON as soon as its released and also the Canadian carriers and Japanese version as soon as I can get the firmware for them.
REQUIREMENTS
The first stage is to confirm all the insecure kernels boot and give adb root access so I need people who know how to flash tar files via Odin and also know how to use adb to test some basic commands and make sure adb doesnt crash.
If you are on one of the above carriers that are needed and have at least some basic knowledge to know if the insecure kernel flash has worked then please post in here and I will send you your kernel to flash right away. As soon as I know the kernels work then I can send the finished ToolKit for testing.
If everything works ok then the ToolKit will be released on Monday or Tuesday (I am booking all tomorrow to dedicate to finishing this).
Lets get this done quickly
Mark.
I'll test for ATT. Have Odin and SDK toolkit installed and did a logcat just a little while ago.
Just send me a PM or something with the link and what you need done.
i gotcha on the t mobile side mskip! i think i was the very first person to flash the international gsm boot img, lol. so i think it's only fitting i assist in this.

Thread Closed.
OK what you need to do is the following. I will be using Rogers as an example as it is what I am using. I will be flashing the Australian Jelly Bean ROM but I assume this will work with any of the Jelly Bean ROMs. I assume you can take the "modem" and "FSG" files from any of the stock ICS ROMs and simply replace the ones in the Jelly Bean ROMs.
**note that you will require an unlocked bootloader which you can do for free through Motorola, although it voids your warranty**
1. Download the "Rogers" (use whichever ROM is from your provider) ICS ROM from the thread in the Android Development Forum about the ICS ROMs. Download the Australian Jelly Bean ROM (again, use whichever stock Jelly Bean ROM that you want). Here is a link to the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943879
2. Extract the "modem" and the "FSG" files from the Rogers ROM.
3. Replace the "modem" and the "FSG" files in the Australian ROM with the files you extracted from the Rogers ROM.
4. Extract the XML file from the Australian ROM. Open it in notepad and find the line of text that has the word "getvar". Delete that line entirely from the file. Save it in a new location and then drag it into the Australian ROM .zip file and overwrite the existing file. Save the .zip file as you have now updated it.
4. Flash the Australian ROM using RSD Lite. You will need the 6.1.4 version. Put your phone in fastboot mode by powering down then holding down both volume buttons while pushing power. A menu will come up. Push volume down until "fastboot" is selected then press volume up to choose it. Hook your phone up via USB to your computer and you should be good to go. You will need the latest USB drivers from Motorola. Now open up RSD Lite and flash the Australian ROM.
5. Set up your APN. For Rogers it should be ltemobile.apn. If you google it you should find the details for Rogers.
Good luck! Let me know if you need any more help.
Thanks to o2qc418 for helping me figure this out!
**edit** I just realized there is another thread similar to this! Why his thread title says "upgrade" when you're doing a fresh install is confusing to me. Perhaps have him edit that title and then just keep whichever guide is more clear and easier to use.

It's not an upgrade. An upgrade is when you do an OTA update or flash a .zip for a daily build or something.

The LTE logo shows as 4G. It works fine here for me. Did you test using speed test? It could just be the logo that's confusing you.
There is also a setting under mobile networks that needs to be changed so that you have LTE sometimes.

Hey guys,
I was wondering, is there any type of root and/or rom for the Claro Puerto Rico variant of the LG G2?
The model is the same as the T-Mobile one, D801. It also has LTE.
Could any of you tell me if the t-mobile root would work, and if so, would a T-Mo rom work too?
Here is some of the Hardware and Software information from the phone:
Hardware Information:

Exactly. I'm just waiting for an answer, I wouldn't like to risk it yet and I really dont have money for a replacement :/
Just got to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887
download the root files, and follow these instructions. You will be rooted in no time.
so, here are the steps to get root on a Wind Mobile G2.
1) Open root.bat in notepad
2) Do Crtl+F and look for ":ATTTMORoot" without the quotes but include the semi colon
3) a few lines underneath that line where you found ":ATTTTMORoot" you'll see a line which looks like this:
.\adb.exe push g2_security /sdcard/g2_security
4) replace that line with this:
.\adb.exe push ytiruces_1a_d803 /sdcard/ytiruces_1a
5) Save file and close notepad
6) Double click root.bat and follow the instructions as usual.
Then go to playstore and download supersu, done.
For recovery you can download Flashify from playstore and use that to flash the Rogers TWRP wich is the one that works. As for roms, d803 roms are the ones that work, any other variant will have to have a kernel change for it to work. Any more questions feel free to ask

I swear I read kernel lol anyways, there's a thread somewhere, where a dude dumped the entire rom (Canadian), and extracted everything from it. He posted the modem, amongst other things.
BTW, thanks for the link!

Got it already from the previous link you posted, thanks for these anyways! The only reason I want the stock rom is to see if the LTE icon sticks from the stock rom after flashing Clean ROM on top of it; did this on top of the Wind variant rom, and the LTE icon is nowhere to be found (even though I get LTE). Now, if there was a way where I could swap the 4G icon for a LTE one, that would be gravy; unfortunately, the only guides I Seem to find are for deodexed roms :/

I got my G2 from Claro a couple days ago and managed to root it by combining the manual root method by autoprime HERE with the advice @prking07 gave on POST #6
I followed these steps:
1. Download IORoot15 from HERE
2. Extract it to a new folder in your desktop.
3. Open command prompt (cmd) in that same folder. You can do this by typing "CHDIR C:\Users\'Username'\Desktop\'FolderName'" in cmd. **Do not type quotations in the cmd
4. Then on your phone enable developer options and USB Debugging. If you don't know how, watch THIS video.
5. Connect your phone and make sure its drivers are installed. then check if the phone is online by typing "adb devices" in cmd. It shoud show the device's ID.
6. Then follow the commands in the autoprime's manual method that I linked above and on step #2 type "adb push ytiruces_1a_d803 /sdcard/ytiruces_1a"
7. Unplug usb, go to developer options and disable USB debugging. Now disable (OFF) Developer Options. Turn On Developer Options. Enable USB Debugging. Once you've done that, re-plug your usb... IF YOU DO NOT TURN OFF THEN BACK ON DEVELOPER OPTIONS IT WILL NOT WORK!!
8. Finally follow steps 3-8 from the manual method and your phone should be rooted.
Here are some screenshot on how the command prompt looked like and the confirmation that it's rooted. These are basically the steps you have to follow once you open command prompt from the folder.

Thats exactly what I did, and then flashed TWRP with Flashify. I'm using Cleanrom with the Xposed Framework, plus Gravity box and the G2 Xposed app and Nova. Everything is running smoothly.
Btw, Dont flash the Paranoid Android rom or Slimbean. They all have issues, such as grainy camera or Huge battery drain.
Here's what I got til now.
has arrived... anyway for us g3 users to get this? I still have a mini screen of TWRP in the upper left corner. has there been a fix for that as well? sorry if this isn't the correct forum to post this in.

I just installed the 2.8 Twrp D2vzw.tar on my Verizon GS3. I use Odin for Twrp, best way to me and I was told Goo manager n the like are no bueno. I had a problem with it, but it worked. It didn't funk up my phone that is. The .tar is on the Twrp website. Good luck

Hi. This is an LG G3 forum, not samsung. LG does not uses ODIN to flash. And, at the moment, without a unlocked BL is impossible to flash a full recovery. The TWRP team has not released any version for G3.
Regards
Done
So no working twrp recovery for g3 yet?

That's nice. Couldn't care less, you punk. I thought it said GS3 general discussion and the fact the person I quoted said "idk if I'm posting in the right place" threw me off too. I made a mistake. SHOOT ME. Some people need to GET A LIFE. All you had to say is "the guy you quoted was asking about the G3 not GS3. Lol. Fyi " LOOK AT THAT, HOW HARD WOULD THAT HAVE BEEN? SMFH.

Anyone can make a mistake. I advise you to calm down. If you read again, I've explained the solution to the op.
Until the lg g3 doesn't gets the bootloader unlocked we will not have a custom recovery 100% functional.

I have a functioning version of TWRP on my tmobile g3 but that doesn't mean a newer version can not be ported to the g3.if that were true I wouldn't have TWRP on my phone right now. I'm guessing you're one of the unlucky g3 owners on one of the three locked networks?

You have this version http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/recovery-twrp-2-7-1-3-t2831668 right?
Then this is not a flashable custom recovery. I have a D855 with unlocked network from factory and the bootloader is locked. As far I know, all versions of the LG g3 have locked bl. Doesn't matters the network. Or I'm wrong, in this case please help me because I need it to make backups and restore.
Please, can you explain how to flash? Not from adb. From flashtool. I cannot find any way to flash a FULL custom recovery. At the moment, the only recovery we have is a tethered recovery. Hopefully this will change soon...
Anyway, as you can see in teamwin official web site there is not any version for our g3 (any variants).

This will only work for the T-Mobile G3 with the unlocked boot loader. If you do not have the T-mobile Version DO NOT try this.
There is a fix for the mini screen you are talking about. You need to update TWRP to a newer version, which can be found here
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/d851 titled "openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.3-d851.img"
Once the file is download, transfer the file to your phone.
1. Download Flashify from Playstore
2. Open Flashify and click on Recovery Image
3. A popup will come up, click Choose a file
4. Locate the file on your phone titled "openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.3-d851.img"
5. Click on the file and a pop up will appear, click "Yup"
6. Boot to recovery to make sure everything went well
There is also another method to flash recovery(using ADB), but this is the easiest. If you are having any trouble let me know

That is not the recovery he is talking about. It seems he has the Tmobile G3, which is the only model that comes shipped with an unlocked bootloader. There is no way at this moment to unlock the bootloader on the other network providers.

My G3 is network unlocked from factory, but I've read that the bl is locked. Only Tmobile has the bl unlocked?

Yes, Tmobile is the only one with the bootloader unlocked at the moment. LG did state that they are planning to offer an option to unlock the bootloader in the future, but so far nothing on that.

Hello,
I ordered this great Crystal phone form Japan, and , of course, it is locked. It is a beautiful item but not useful locked..
I don't arrive to root it (try a lot of Tools for 4.4.2), neither reboot it in bootloader mode (?), neither use fastboot (waiting devices)...etc.. and neither unlock ! (just recovery mode ("+" & Power On) with only a small menu Erase/Cancel)
My knowledge is poor about these subjects, I'm a "small" developer ..
Someone can help me/us ?
Thank you
I want to order it too.. but I din't find any clue about how to unlock it. So any help will be apreciated.
I need root so bad for the Wi-Fi tether hopefully we get it soon for this amazing phone.

thanks, but i've already got a jap mod.
jap mod seems commented out implementation of SIM unlock on the Android side before compiling(aka conditional compile).
hope the modem side remains unlocking support.

Doubt if a US Version (306SH) can be used on a Japanese handset (305SH) and vice versa. The US one is CDMA while the Japanese one is GSM, usually this means the radio file will be incompatible.
Would be awesome if someone could manage to unlock the 305SH, but it won't be an easy task. Looking forward to it though. At the mean time, I am comfortable using it as an Android counterpart of iPod Touch

J. Williams is misinforming you guys. Inserting the tmobile sim card doesn't do anything(i've already tried it).. the phone was still using the CDMA of boost! .. i hope someone can unlock this.. this is such a beautiful phone in person!..

I was thinking that since there's a sim card slot we could modify the build.prop (as the link above suggests) for the cdma variants to convert the phone to gsm? I really want this phone, but I'm on At&t with the Oneplus One and I really don't want to pay for two different services
Has any of you guys tried all standard rooting tools?
towelroot, etc...
Is there anyway to flash docomo rom on this one?(vice-versa)
This thing has snapdragon 400, which definetally has gsm bands, we just need to get to them,
i'm 100% confident we can get it to work with all the carriers, IF it can be rooted.
