Going to ask really fast since I didn't see it. Does this ROM work with all variants of the A5 (Desire 816) or only with specific variants? What model do you personally use and did you build on?

Thanks man. This was incredibly useful. I was about to write everything I did here to get the RUU.exe to work until I realized that FoxyDrew had written basically everything here http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-816/general/ruu-t2952058 For the sake of redundancy, I'm going to post my...

If anyone will provide the solution here. I think we're all looking for a way to go back to a5chl stock. Anyone have a method? Link the stock RUU? Is that the one provided by HTC or something else?

Although it could be possible, I wouldn't bet anything on it. After reading through this whole thread and trying to stay up to date on it, as well as with any progress regarding the LG Volt, you're kind of out of luck. There is nothing we can do to get it from CDMA to GSM, hell, we haven't even...

To be honest, at this point of development with the LG Volt. I would recommend to any user to acquire root at the very least. Get SU going and Busy Box, then install xposed. Custom ROMs are what we're all looking for, but I've came to notice that you can acquire a lot of the same things via...

I would say to read the thread, since I wrote a long post on the current state of the LG Volt. But to explain again, there has been progress made but we're kind of at a skill plateau. User, danhalen1 I believe was the one who managed to crack the boot-loader and make it semi-usable. However, we...

Yeah, that is why you would want a custom recovery. However, having a custom recovery does not guarantee 100% brick protection. I'll explain what usually happens in your average "brick" event. To understand this, you need to understand how Android works, which, this is the same with Linux and...

Just be very careful with what you play around with. Remember that root changes cannot be undone, hence why we want a recovery. In my case, when I bricked my first LG Volt, I was trying to do memory modifications using SWAP memory to try and see if that will fix the memory issues causing apps...

Ah right, I forgot to mention danhalen1, user primarily at Android Forums who has also been doing quite a bit of work as well. So. robles4242, if you want to learn, probably talk with danhalen1 or notreal456789. Or really, anyone else who looks like they've made even a little chisel in the LG...

If you haven't looked around or read the threads too much, allow me to give you a sit-rep for the LG Volt... As of present, we have root and we have an unlocked boot loader and we have the ability to use a custom recovery. However, all of these things have exceptions, for lack of a better term...

Were you able to test on a different computer? Could be some issues with USB ports..

Fix for No Download, No Recovery? Hey everyone. I was browsing around when I happened upon this thread on android forums. A proposed fix on LG phones having no download or recovery. I'm right now unable to test this myself since my last bricked LG volt is being sent back to Virgin today.. If...

Not going to be incredibly helpful here but I've noticed that Skype would auto-close whenever you'd go to any other apps. I my thread reporting it Here, I attempted to see if it was a ram based issue on the phone and attempted to do swap memory to see if I can see any improvement and ended up...

Hey there team. I've been a long time lurker here and might not have made many posts. Getting this phone and given my time flashing, rooting, and following guides here, I really want to start getting in on the conversations and discussions. Let me go through with what happened to my last LG...

Downgrading EVO V? I've been browsing around, but haven't found any answers, I'm wondering if it is possible to downgrade the EVO V safely without messing up any carrier information (Virgin Mobile). Is this possible or no? For a little background, I'm coming from a Samsung Intercept and have...
