Hello, I have a problem, I hope you can help a user,
To start updating the device and everything works perfect except that the phone is not locked for more than press the button.
Specific, I pressed the button, and the screen turns off, but if you press it again, the screen lights up but not in the blocking state, if not, on the desktop or wherever you leave the phone before (well either the browser, whatsapp, any game or whatever).
I tried changing the slide lock pattern, the password, and all, nothing works.
By having this problem, what ice was reinstall rom (including all wipes, and other steps) and nothing has changed. I've also tried installing a lower version of android (4.0.3 to be exact) to beams of odin, even in that version still does not work the screen lock ....
Since we no longer know what to do, I turn to you xD
PD:
I've noticed that others further back than indicated, the power button has lost the function that you had to if you were you kept pressed for a few seconds a menu will appear with options (off, airplane mode, reboot and some more) well now I see that menu, the phone goes directly.
Sorry about all this, but I need urgent help TT
Sorry for my bad English
And sorry again if I'm wrong in the place where I write this

Thank you very much for your help, in about 1 hour has finished downloading (Hotfile is very slow xD), hope it works
this is installed by odin, or recovery? (I think odin, but better ensure xD)

Check Q&A, there's a thread about hotfile not working, some guy posted a premium account generator. something like leecherexpress.com/hotfile or similar.

Hi, I have to tell you two stories.
The good is that doing what you've told me, everything works fine (at least for now)
The bad news is that if you then install the official version and not the leak, I lose everything .... and what bothers me most of the leak is a bug that has to do that sometimes when you unlock the phone, takes time to answer the screen .... xD
But still, many thanks!

Yep, I'm good at bets.
I don't know why after flashing LS8 some get no lockscreens, it's weird. JB leak works all the time tho, wich weirder.
I would flash LS8 via Mobile Odin, no wipes. Just to see if it gets fixed.
This is often caused but a problem in EFS in the /efs/imei/keystr file it can be permissions or the fact that the file does not exist with ON in it
If the file does not exist use root explorer to make sure /efs/imei/keystr has the work on in it and premissions are rw-rw-r--
or terminal emulator to
su
echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr
chmod 644 /efs/imei/keystr
reboot

i've done this mod that exact same way on my aria with 4 different roms with no issues at all every time.
you really just need to save the qwerty.kl file and push it to the phone. reboot into recovery, go to the partitions menu, mount the system partition, push the file via adb, reboot your phone and voila.

I've done that. The qwerty.kl method just simply isn't working for some people.
This worked for me
Couldn't figure out how to add attachments to this post, and it won't let me add an external link since it's a new forum account. google ojwake-signed.zip or something.
Steps: Load file to SD card, boot in to recovery mode, install zip, locate this zip on flash card, reboot.

Just to make it even easier on you
EDIT-Short Version...Download file from link above
-:Have Clockwork Recovery Installed and know how to use ADB:-
-DOWNLOAD ATTACHED to linked post qwerty.kl (may need 7zip to extract file from archive...)
-BOOT into CLOCKWORK recovery with NO USB PLUGGED INto phone!!!
-PARTITIONS>MOUNT /SYSTEM
-adb push qwerty.kl /system/usr/keylayout|adb reboot
As far as I know, this ridiculously simply method of pushing qwerty.kl has worked for everyone except the few that didn't boot into clockwork correctly, once they booted into clockwork correctly it then worked for them.
I updated the instructions to be crystal clear for all you noobs. If pushing a file to your android device is too painfully complicated for you, I suggest you read/search more and figure out what you are actually doing.
Neverwhere10's steps are just as painfully complicated, but at least he is providing some constructive input.
Thanks!

You followed this.....
Open "ZipSigner 2" on your tablet.
Press the "Input" button and browse /sdcard/VpnFaker_unsign.apk
Press the "Output" button and save it as /sdcard/VpnFaker.apk
Key/mode select "platform"
Press "Sign the file"
Not the picture right?? That confused me when I was doing it (terrible screenshot) LOL
I used V11 and didn’t do anything for VpnFaker.apk.
It was all automatic (almost). Except terminal emulator.
Did you install this to tablet?
When you start script, terminal emulator must show up (on the tablet) and type 2lines by instruction (ignore errors).
Then it’ll work.
Well I've also tried, I think, everything; using different versions of the automated script, doing the process manually, resigning VpnFaker.apk, yet still, no success. I have a Turkish tablet, but had changed it to US using condi's tool before rooting it on HC. Any thoughts?

I have follow your step but I wonder where I have to put a new VpnFaker.apk ? , I mean in bin4ry there is 2 .rar files and one include VpnFaler.apk, so am I have to extract it and replace old VpnFaker.apk with the one I am resign it ? or what I have to do with the new VpnFaker.apk I have resign it ?
@stifilz
I have follow your step in the FAQ thread and also do a VpnFaker.apk thing, and it comes out like it shown in the attached images
still no superuser but it have terminal emulator.
can should I do now ? any ideas ?
thanks
I am lost it should work. Grrr.
I fell your fustration, I have been there.
All I can suggest is factory reset. Then resign vpnfaker then try again. I cant remember exactly how I did it..... but now it works first time every time

OK Try this.
Do the factory reset and install terminal emulator only (forget the VpnFaker.apk).
Command prompt – type “adb devices”, device number should come up. Leave it open.
If it doesn’t, need to install correct adb driver.
Then run the script and follow instruction. Need to reboot few times till terminal emulator show up (on the tablet) and type 2lines by the instruction (ignore the errors).
Then it’ll work.

Ah, did find it.
Didn't use that script. Once I'm at my desktop, I can tell you the script I used. Do you have a description of what your boot screen looked like? It could have been the recovery screen.
"Had to run the script manually. After the line files\adb shell "echo \"ro.kernel.qemu=1\" > /data/local.prop" and reboot the screen went black after boot android logo. Thought the tablet was bootlooping but this was not the case. Could still connect with adb and USB so after I continued to run all the script file the tablet was booting as expected with root access."
This was posted in the comments on that script. As far as hard reset, I'm not sure, beyond finding something that can push a new recovery or ROM straight to the tablet.

Try reconnecting it to the computer if you still have the script working, and getting back to that step. Unfortunately, I'm drawing a blank right now on doing a hard reset without OS access.

Hi guys,
As title says, I just lost my lock screen after flashing the official jb. After made few tests and feedback from various people, here what I've done to solve my problem. I just want to share with everyone. So I'm making this guide as noob as I can.
All this done from terminal apps (download from play store) and yes, rooted phone is mandatory. Type in to terminal emulator everything I wrote below (each line mean new command, press enter to execute):
su
cp /efs/imei/keystr /efs/imei/keystr.bak
echo ON >> /efs/imei/keystr
chmod 0744 /efs/imei/keystr
chown 1000.1000 /efs/imei/keystr
reboot
p/s: you might received an error after entered cp command because you don't have any keystr file, so just ignore it. If no error, mean you just created backup file of keystr named keystr.bak, you can restore it later by using this command:
mv /efs/imei/keystr.bak /efs/imei/keystr

Hi guys,
As title says, I just lost my lock screen after flashing the official jb. Below are the details:
1) using cm10.1
2) full wipe (using full wipe script zip as downloaded from apriliam3)
3) installed official jb from odin
> at this point, I started to lose my lock screen
4) afraid of this bug came from cm10.1, I tried to flash wanam leaked jb, and the lock screen just fine.
5) So after waiting for wanam to release his v14, I flashed again and the bug say hi again to me.
Got pissed off, I even try to use so many type of wipe, from philz to nukewipe.
Yes, I can get my lock screen from any other rom except from this official jb based.
Hope someone can answer this or at least give me some idea.

Did you check the lock screen settings?
If so, flash stock 4.1.2 (now that is hot).
Oh....you already been there. That's not a bug, no bug can be present in 3 diffrent roms.
Re-flash, wipe all data & see if it pops up again.
Latest result

yeah, i think so, maybe it's my device. just now i re-flashed LSJ(oxx) with PIT, yes, i re-partitioned and re-formatted my internal-sd as well, booted and everything working fine. so i decided to give one more chance to LS8(oxx) and the result as expected. now, again, reverting back to LSJ and not planning to install LS8 yet.
here the new thing that i found out when i'm using LS8,
- my power button act weird, it's not just can't lock the screen, but even mid-long press will directly reboot my device(suppose power menu will come out right?)
btw thanks man.
Re: Official JB - Lock screen not working
np man.
just so we're clear.....you get your lockscreen in jb leak? not in ls8....am I right?
Keep away from that spanish ROM then.
Man..I too am thinking about going back to leakland...no media scanner there

Re: Official JB - Lock screen not working
Yeah, just finished setting up my leaky rom.
Everything working fine now. So, from my made up theory, the Europe rom might not works well with my Asia device (lsj is global build). Maybe I should give a shot for China rom or I'll just wait for Singapore rom.

After flashing the stock rom in ODIN go back into download mode and flash Siyah v6 beta4, boot into recovery and then do a wipe data/factory reset. This should fix the lock screen issue.
If not just flash latest Wannam rom, Its better then stock sammy anyway.

Thanks mate, but I've done exactly as what you suggested and just they don't work with my phone.
p/s: Actually I don't really mind now. Switched back to Samsung 4.1 just because of it's most "workable" mail app, splanner and I love the Samsung keyboard with swipe function which has multi languages support.

I face same issue as described above. No lock and pressing power key for long gives reboot. I just flashed official LS8 using Odin 1 day back. I had same problem with 4.0.3. In addition to that, FM Radio doesn't pick up any station. Applications resets to default doesn't reset. Thank you.

Hi guys,
As title says, I just lost my lock screen after flashing the official jb. Below are the details:
1) using cm10.1
2) full wipe (using full wipe script zip as downloaded from apriliam3)
3) installed official jb from odin
> at this point, I started to lose my lock screen
4) afraid of this bug came from cm10.1, I tried to flash wanam leaked jb, and the lock screen just fine.
5) So after waiting for wanam to release his v14, I flashed again and the bug say hi again to me.
Got pissed off, I even try to use so many type of wipe, from philz to nukewipe.
Yes, I can get my lock screen from any other rom except from this official jb based.
Hope someone can answer this or at least give me some idea.
p/s: sorry to mentioned name above, I love your work, but I can't post directly to your thread as I don't have enough privilege to post there.
p/ss:sorry for my bad English
Cheers.

edit:
i will write down as simple as i can on how to fix this issue. first of all, u will need a rooted rom / kernel. in my case, i've flashed this wipe script, wanamlite v14, dorimanx kernel and installed terminal (from PlayStore)
my steps:
open terminal and login as root: $ su
go to /efs/imei/ folder: # cd /efs/imei
check if keystr file exist: # ls
if you can see keystr listed, just remove it: # rm keystr or...
if you can't see it, just create new keystr file: # touch keystr
edit your keystr: # vi keystr
in vi editor, prees "i" and type "ON" without quote and save it by pressing "Volume Up + E" and type in ":wq!" without quote and yes, with colon
now just reboot by type in terminal : # reboot
much easier method that i can think so far(i don't use this method as i'm too lazy to install root explorer):
install root explorer (from Play Store)
go to root folder "/" and find efs >> imei
when you in there, if you find keystr file, just delete it and make new file by pressing + icon (as far as i remember)
then click the file and choose edit. use your favourite text editor. type in ON and save
reboot your phone
and now, you are good to go and play with your power button all night...:silly:

I face the same issue as yours. I am a newbie and hence I chose second method as you've suggested. I have installed MI Root Explorer. I could find efs but cant find imei. It says either the folder has no data or I dont have access. Thank you.

Is your phone rooted? If yes, try open supersu for first time for it dowload su binaries then open your root browser again.
edit: saw u posted asking bout fm radio. I never get it working since the first day I bought this phone and I don't think it will. The application reset not working? Have you tried to reset from cwm?

Suppose the vi is the most basic text editor. You also can use echo as replacement. Eg. echo ON >> /efs/imei/keystr
Additional, you can set this too, just to make sure system can use it properly:
chmod 0744 /efs/imei/keystr
chown 1000.1000 /efs/imei/keystr
Do this to factorymode as well. Hope this solve yours.

Help! I was using Carlos' unlocking the bootloader guide against my will, because I love stock. And turns out karma has gotten me. For some reason my recovery wasn't installing on V20B, so I flashed back to V20F, factory reset, re-rooted, installed busybox, flashed the artas recovery... And yet my recovery STILL isn't showing up. The boot animation is inverted and the touch screen is still "messed up." I have a backup on my external SD card that I can use if I somehow get recovery functional. It's just the stupid recovery won't work and I need it to work lol. Any help? Please?! By the way, I've done an emergency flash using LG Mobile Support Tool and that didn't work, so I'm still open to suggestions.
I've been very helpful to everyone who's asked me for help, I'd like for others to be the same to me. Thanks to whoever tries
go back into recovery then make a backup in tar format then reboot into recovery and check for your files.

I don't have recovery. It won't flash. I have stock V20F without anything but a messed up screen.
Have you tried installing recovery using the L9 recovery installer app?
Also, for the wonky touch screen, it would help a lot if you enabled "Show touches" in the developers options tab~

That's what I'm using. Full busybox install and it still isn't installing.
You needed to be rooted to get recovery.

you need this busybox
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitcubate.root.busybox.complete&hl=en
I never had a problem with the other, but others have, but this one has worked for everyone.
If you have root, just fix the wonky touch screen the old way (through adb)

Can you upload the apk for that? I can't type due to my phone's screen. And how do I do it through ADB? I don't even know how to use ADB, as embarrassing as it sounds. I could never get it to work. But I'm willing to do anything now.

First fix the touch screen, hold up I'll send you all the info,
Another thing, I hope you already have adb debugging enabled
Wait a min, you have everything you need if you tried to unlock your device
Inside the root lelus folder is the adb
You know, if you go to link for robert busybox on your pc (and sign in) it will send it to your phone, to download
1. Go to the root lelus folder (should be on your c: drive) and open the "stuff" folder
now, hold down the shift key and right click with your mouse, you should see an option, to "open command window here"
This should open a cmd up where the adb is at.
2. Open the cwm_ts_fix_p769.zip and go into the system folder and copy the v6.bin to your external sd
3.now type
adb devices (in the command window)
you should get a number with online status. If you don't it's because adb debugging is not enabled
4. next type
adb shell
su
your phone will ask to enable it, good luck on enabling on the wonky touch screen
okay, type
cat /storage/external_SD/v6.bin > /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/firmware
note if you put it on the internal storage, type
cat /sdcard/external_SD/v6.bin > /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/firmware
this will cause the shell to freeze.
so open up a new cmd (hold shift key & and right click inside the stuff folder) and type
adb reboot
hope this helps, if you need a better guide, lol just ask, it will take me awhile though
