You know how to write, so i guess you know how to read.
The answers are in this forum many times.
Search for "Factory Reset" "Flash Stock KDZ" "ROOT" "unlock bootloader" "TWRP 2.8.7.0" "Cyanogenmod 13.0"
Then read, read it again, understand, if not read it again, we don't want you to brick your phone. :good:

Why can it not just be flashed in flashtool normally?
Why format the sd card?
What is the app for?
Downloading and testing soon
Maybe try a new download site...your dropbox account will get a temporary ban if the traffic is too much.

Actually it is flashed normally, those 3 options which he mention are those 3 options which are selected by default every time when you flash full ftf.
Also, about format sd card, totally useless.
And about app, again IMHO useless(at least for this, don't know for other things that app can do), shows you language/language region/country, none of those tell you about your fw version, but about settings in your phone.
For example there is no fw for my country exactly, yet it shows letter for my country.

[Q] Rooting LG Optimus L3 E405

Hello XDA :good:
Is anyone successfuly rooted their LG Optimus L3 E405?
I need help how to root it, Ive tried the E400 rooting guide but I always failed...
Tried almost all of the ways seen on google searches but none of them work.
If any here can help me root this device is really really appreciated..
Thank you and hoping for a reply to our Android Rooting Gurus
by the way, my LG device is;
LG Optimus L3 E405
Gingerbread 2.3.6 (Updated August 31, 2012)
Hi all,
I have a LG L3-E405 DUAL too and the same question and also tried almost everything i could find about rooting E400 and E405.
I've tried the Spectrum root method and superoneclick 2.3.3
Firmware: v10d-SEP-13-2012
Build: GRK39F
Kernel: 2.6.38.6-perf+
Android: 2.3.6
Output from Superoneclick and Spectrum root basically comes down to permission denied, phone reboots and no change at all.
I really would like to root it so i can move apps like maps en google plus to the internal memory of 1 GB to free up some space for more apps.
Any help on a method that works would be greatly appreciated
Sorry for this bump.. Just want to let others know if they missed reading this thread.
and yes, I really wanted to know if this is possible.. Thanks.
Any news on these matters? Any tips would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Yepey! Ive rooted my E405 now..
Using SuperOneClick v1.7 and use rageagainsthecage and click Root button..

psneuter will not work, neither do the other root options.
Be sure you have the LG L3-e405 usb drivers installed correctly otherwise it won\t work either. You can download them from the Lg website.
connect your phone and choose pc software on the dialog that opens on your phone.
You need Superoneclick 1.7 (temporary disable while downloading and using superoneclick your antivirus as well otherwise it will falsely say it's a trojan.)
Run the program (in winvista/win7 as administrator) set on the right the method to RAGEAGAINSTTHECAGE then press root.
Wait untill whole process is done en telling you it was succesful.
Shutdown your phone and start it again. Superuser should be there in applications menu.
Thanks go to Yethz who started this thread and found the solution !

For who want to use Link2SD on your L3-E405 you should pay attention to the following.
On the E-405 it will not work if you only create a ext2 and fat32 partition!
Use a partitionmanager to partition your SD card.
All partitions must be PRIMARY and not logical
1. First create a FAT (not fat32) partition and choose the smallest size possible
2 Then create a EXT2 partition of 1 GB (not bigger) for use with Link2SD
3 Create a FAT32 partition for the remaining space left on the SD card.
Download and install Link2D from google play store and start it.
It will ask you what kind of partition you want to use and choose EXT2
It will tell you to reboot, so shutdown your phone and turn it back on.
Now you can remove bloatware and system apps you dont want on your system storage.
And offcourse link the apps to your sd card to free up memory.
Following sytem apps you can safely remove from the E405:
Google+
Google Maps
Google Maps Streetview
Google Mail
Youtube
these you can all download from google play store and links then to sdcard

The E-405 is not supported yet by rom manager or CWM. It's only available for the L3-E400.
As far is i know there are no fully working custom roms for the E405 yet so rom manager is kind of useless at the moment.
Only for the E400 i see a cyanogen mod nightly is being in development.
Also i have read a couple of warnings on other forums not to use cwm/rom manager on the L3 E-400 or E405 due to unwanted behaviour of
both apps like getting stuck in boot loop.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27683328
maybe you can find some answers in this thread.
Hmm, thanks , Can we expect Cyanogen 9 for the LG L3 E405 ??

I have no idea. That depends on a developer who wants to pick that up.
just search xda from time to time to see. If there will be any custom rom you will find it on this forum.

Hey bro,
Id followed your tips about using Link2SD , thanks a lot.
I tried linking all my apps to SD Card now I have lots of free space on System Memory :good:
I was using Move to SD Card (App2SD Method) and I have lot of System Memory consumed but when Linking to SD Card got me more space.
Thank you again, and yes I already formatted my phone (hard reset) just to set things up properly.
Now, Can you recommend me some usefull apps?
So, any news on other users of E405? Does it go well on your handsets?
Also can you share your must have apps that perfectly run in it :good:

1-3: Flash clockworkmod onto your android and choose "Install from zip" this will allow you to manually update your phone as well as install apps. For the google play app, look for "Gaaps".

SD card registering as 0gb

Hi guys,
I've been looking for a fair few hours now via search and google.. but I can't seem to find an answer.
In short, I just upgraded my i9305 to the latest SlimKat, and it seems to not register my SD card anymore. When I go to storage, it reads as 0B.
I can unmount and mount, but nothing else.
I've tried inserting another blank sd card and trying to get it formatted, but it does nothing and registers as 0B, after it reboots the OS.
I'm not sure what to do here, so I'm asking for help. I can see and install zips it via recovery (cwm.)
I'm just not sure what to do.

not sure.but it sounds like a bug in the rom .you might want to rollback to the previous version.(assuming it worked fine) if you think it's the card(i.e if the computer reads it as 0b then try sd formatter just remember to enable the change size option

I've rolled back but I noticed that all builds from 3.8 onwards are like this. (I just flashed build 4, which was recently just linked on xda)
It's definitely not the card as I've tried putting a fresh card to get it reformatted...
Not sure where I go from here, and I can't post on the dev thread as I'm under 6 posts... if someone knows why this is happening, as it seems peoel are either ignoring it or it hasn't been bought to their attention, it would be awesome.
Cheers mate.
I just hope I don't get stuck with this version. lol. Maybe it's time to move on from slimkat. (I hope not.)
Just a quick update sort of:
1) I realized that I may have posted this on the wrong forum, as there's a troubleshooting Q&A for the i9035 which is what I have.
Any chance of a mod moving it over there?
2) Also I have now installed vanilla cyanogenmod on the phone and it read the SD card okay, it must be the rom, prolly hasn't ported properly or something... do'h!

I flashed a Custom ROM and now my SD card appears mounted as Phone Storage.

Hello, I'm new to XDA and would appreciate some help for an issue I'm having with my phone, I have a Blu Studio 5.0S in which I flashed a custom ROM based on MIUI v5 with Jelly Bean, my phone had a stock Jelly Bean ROM, I don't know if I'm doing the flashing steps right because I am wiping Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache only, even tho, I wiped System too once and the issue persists.
My phone has 4GB storage in 2 partitions, one for the system and the second one is used as SD when there's no SD in, but if I do put an SD in, that second partiton stops working as SD (If I had Apps installed in it, they won't work), and is mounted as "USB Storage/Internal SD", now, that's the normal way it is supposed to work, but when I flashed the custom ROM, MIUI keeps detecting my SD as Phone Storage (The second partition that is useless for installing apps in it) and detects the second partition as Phone Storage, What I want is to keep the MIUI based ROM but having my storage in the right order, otherwise I have a 32GB SD useless and a phone running out of space for my apps. I did not find any help in the threads and I'd really appreciate if someone can help me to solve this problem, sorry if my english is not that clear and thanks in advance.
You won't find much MIUI help here. Not many people really use it and the only ones that work on it are porters.

To be honest Where ever you got the rom from. As the MIUI developers sont deal with bug reports that come from non Xiaomi devices, it is closed source so cant really do a whole lot other wise.

That's what I did, posting the question in the thread from where I got the ROM, just afraid none's gonna reply since the one guy who was dealing with this stuff doesn't own such devide now and stopped testing stuff, I just thought if the problem has something to do with the kind of partitions in one and other system someone would guide me to look for a way to solve my problem by myself.
Thanks a lot Mr. Zelendel, a hug from Colombia!
So... I just found out that this ROM had an App (In mandarin chinese) to switch the Internal Storage and External Storage (SDCard0- SDCard1), and that's one of the first Apps I was uninstalling every time I flashed, I have no idea if this is an App made by Xiaomi or the porter of this

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498992
did something about it, but now I can say this ROM is perfect and works very smoothly on my device.
