Hi,
Im currently running liquidsmooth on my g3 and im unable to get a GPS lock. Tried using gps fix in the playstore and still nothing. I've made sure location is on and in high accuracy mode.

Any solution? Thx

Try restoring your stock ROM not Jasmine. Get a lock in Device Only Mode. Leave location on then hop into TWRP and clean flash your ROM of choice.
That in most instances will fix your issue.

Ended up doing as you said but still am not able to get a lock in liquid after flashing and getting a lock on the stock/rooted/deodexed rom posted in the android development subforum here.
Thinking it might just be a custom rom issue but i'll keep flashing other roms and see what happens. If you or anyone else has any ideas, I'm all ears!
Thanks!

If you are not getting a lock on any ROM your flashing, if you don't have your true stock backup TOT / KDZ back to stock may be your only option.
I usually get a lock and leave GPS on before I flash another ROM and usually I have no issues.
Hopefully you get it going

Ok, so last night my phone downloaded the update (guessing Gingerbread). I'm still running 2.2.1 on my Thunderbolt, as I was out of the country for the past few months. I caught the phone before it completed the installation and thought that if I removed the PG05IMG.zip file from the sd card, that would prevent it from being able to install the update. I turned the phone back on and it began to attempt to install the update again. I would like to flash a new ROM to the phone (as I was simply rooted without a custom ROM before) so that I am running 2.3+ but I don't want to have to re-root the phone. I would like to be able to back everything up before I flash a new ROM. How do I prevent the phone from installing the OTA update that was inadvertently downloaded last night , which will unroot my phone??
Please help! Thank you
Not sure if you can stop it at this point and since the phone can still be rooted with the GB update, it may just be easiest to let it go.
Otherwise, if you really want to stop the update, you probably need to boot into Fastboot and find the files that are part of the update. From my Eris days, the OTA update isn't packaged up in the PG05IMG.zip file that you removed. I'm not sure where the files are or what files are the ones you need to delete though...
Someone fee free to correct me, but if you flash the CWM recovery it will prevent the update from happening?
Essentially, I just use the phone for wireless tether, so that's mainly why I root. Doubt that changes much of anything...

So I tried to let the update take, but unfortunately it gets stuck at the screen with Andy and the exclamation point!!
Ughhh.... help! Now I have no workable phone..
Can you still boot into recovery? I had read that clearing cache and dalvik fixes this...

That's a common problem as I recall from a few weeks back. I saw threads about it but never read them as I wasn't affected. I don't know if it's a dead-end or easily fixed or complicated to fix...

I stumbled into clockwork recovery earlier... I will see what I can accomplish if I can make it back there!
Side note.. I can get into the phone for a minute or so before it restarts again.

Two thumbs up! So far, so good as for this recommendation. Thank you!!!
Any thoughts on how to prevent VZW from pushing this update from now on?
Also need the best 2.3+ ROM... or is CM9 with 4.0 on the way??

Install a non-stock ROM. Don't worry, you can get Sense-based ones that won't be anything "new".
It appears that VZW will eventually force the update so there's no way that I'm aware of to stop it while running stock (even rooted stock).

Flash a ROM that has the update. There are a few around here that are 2.11.605.5 that you flash in Recovery so that it'll stop bugging you to update. Just pick one that is already rooted. You can do a backup of your currrent rom, flash the 2.11.605.5 then restore your data and your all set....

There are a couple threads on preventing ota updates. A quick search will tell you what file to rename and how to.

Folks -
I am noob here but believe me I did every thing to search existing thread and get solution to my problem.
Okay so here is my problem: My LG E970 is stuck in boot loop. Phone starts and it stays on for about 30-45 seconds and then again it restarts. This loop continues.
1. I tried Safemode and the problem still exists.
2. I tried to flash stock ROM with LGNPST by going through download mode and still issue exists.
3. I tried Tinybeen "E970_Original_TeenyBin-AA.bin" with LGNPST and still no solution to problem.
I am also not able to fast boot i.e. when I press volume up + power on then only LG logo keeps on flashing.
Please help me what I am missing. I thought flashing stock ROM should solve all the problem.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

What happened before the bootloop? what were you trying to do? LGNPST should restore your phone back to life, I had a few issues with it though(at 85% program would display error, phone would bootloop), had to try different PCs till phone got flashed to 100% and phone booted as normal.

I had my phone in charging and when I removed it this problem started. My phone was rooted. But thanks for your suggestion - let me try on different machine because in my case LGNPST goes to 85% and then phone reboots. I read that it should be fine if it goes to 67% or 85% and reboots.

It's supposed to be, but your phone has to reboot and work, not get stuck in bootloop. I had to do it on a winxp machine for it to work, dunno why it didn't work on my laptop with win7.
Okay - so I tried on different laptop and still issue exists. Please see my two laptops are on Windows 7.
This is strange because LGNPST is successful in loading stock BIN. Also, Teenybin is giving same issue. Will give it a try again and keep you posted.

Teenybin is your best bet. After flashing press vol up to enter recovery and flash another rom. Teenybin is not a rom so the phone will not fully boot.
Sent from my LG-E970 using Tapatalk
Thanks for providing response.
So you mean I flash Teenybin with LGNPST first and then flash any custom ROM?
But to flash custom rom the bin file should be on phone. Correct? How can I copy file to phone when my phone keeps booting.
Also - any suggestion for stable custom ROM - in the meantime I can keep it for download.
Appreciate all help I am getting on this forum.
Thanks!!

If teenybin flash was succesful (there are 2 teenybins, I used the altbin for best results), you should get stcuk on a screen saying google in white letters. Reboot phone and press vol up to get to recovery.
As for custom roms, depends on preference. I am currently using snowjb1.1 (stock with best gaming performance), but EG8, mydeodexed and artmod seem nice(all stock). If you want kitkat, flash the kit kat TWRP recovery and then flash any kitkat rom(I tried Vanir, beanstalk, psx, commotio, they are all nice)
So to flash any rom it needs to be on phone memory or I will need to source SD card and copy rom on that?

It can be on the sd card. If the TWRP teenybin installs doesn't read your sd card, install a newer one(I'm using TWRP 2.6.3.0 non kitkat version)
I used TeenyBin[AltBin] with LGNPST and now I am able to Fastboot.
At present I am in recovery menu.
Can I copy stock bin "LGE970ATT-V20j-Stock.bin" to SD card and install it with help of TWRP? Please guide.

Nope, it wont flash.
Bin is used for LGNPST flashing. You need a rom that is already packed and ready for flashing via recovery. Look in the android development section, pick a rom and download.
Thanks a lot for all your help. I have kept SnowJB v1.1 for download. Will update here once I am done.

But, I am not getting network i.e. no signals even though SIM card is active and working on other phone. I tired re-inserting SIM/ re-booting / Airplane mode on and off but still it don't show cell phone signals.
Please let me know what should I do to resolve this issue?

If u have bootloops issue you just need to format data/cache, sometimes internal storage.. through recovery.. Now you probably mess you efs.. In that case use Lgnpst back to fix it

Oh - I was not aware of that.
So, now I need to go to download mode and simply flash stock bin using LGNPST.
That will resolve issue? or do I need to take care of anything else?

Try flashing jellybean att radio in recovery, if that doesn't flash back to stock with lgnpst.
If you can quickly point to download link then nothing like that.

Well, you are supposed to post stuff like this in the Q&A forum, that's why you have to post 10 times. To learn the structure.
You could try to clear data for play services and the play store app and see if that works. If not, I suggest that you try to flash some other gapps package.
Maybe one of these:

same here, have to download the nightly through browser
the cmupdater has not been working since i started with 403. download through pc or browser
try cyandelta
Just go through the browser. What I did and no problem.
So just download the new nightly and reflash?
Do I need to wipe cache or something?
What if I want to go from nightly to stable or M, then I need to wipe?
Thanks for the help

No, just flash the update zip. (That's called a dirty flash in case you didn't know)
If you use custom kernels, flashed mods or custom system apps, they might have to be reinstalled. You also need to reinstall Xposed Framework from the app if you use that.
But remember to back up your phone in recovery before you update!
Okay thanks. 3 last questions (I hope).
I got cm-11-20140410-NIGHTLY
And yesterday released cm-11-20140411-NIGHTLY
Is this an update? Or a completely new nightly? sorry for all the ignorance, I'm totally new to this and android
2. Should I use old M builds or new nightlys? Which one Is more stable
3. If I want to flash M build and I'm currently using nightly, there is a different way or something special I need to do?
If you're going from an m build to a nightly, or any other variation (stable to m, etc) then wipe data and cache. Every nightly can be flashed on top of itself. There are more specific things to be said but I'll leave it at that so you don't get yourself bootlooped.
Make sure you make a nandroid before you do anything (I.e. a backup in custom recovery) and it would be a good idea to put that on your pc. Also a good idea to have the files and setup ready to flash your phone back to factory with kdz or tot--that way if you do something boneheaded you won't be in as much of a panic. It definitely wouldn't hurt to have some experience with adb ahead of time--just in case.
If none of that makes sense I'd wait a bit before flashing (though you could go for it and probably make out fine).

- nandroid BackUP - Check. i learned how importent and how lucky to do a nandroid backup when i flashed yesterday the cm. bricked my phone 2 times, thanks to nandroid backup didnt need to flash stock.
- stock KDZ - Check. including flashing tool and all that.
what do you prefer, nightly or M? the nightly can go rough just like that in the middle of everything?
So yea I have been recently playing around with my phone and putting on Lollipop but just before I was putting Lollipop my phone just all of a sudden gets no service anywhere I go, when I try to ring someone it says that I am in aeroplane mode. I have turned it on and back off but for some reason it still says it, whenever I try to send someone a text it says it will be sent when I have signal.
I need help like urgently as I use this phone for everything.
I used Clockwork mods Lollipop but I don't think that should mess with anything due to it happening before I updated.

I can answer regarding using TWRP versus ClockworkMod, yes a recent version of TWRP should be fine.
