[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeebo1111:
Hello,

Firstly I'm looking for a comment from an expert who has taken Nexus5s apart before. Also I'm beyond the point of returning the phone as this fault developed after replacing a screen and ribbon cable (after I smashed my phone badly). Any help or advice would be great.

So since screen and USB flex replacement on my D821 i notice that my phone signal will connect with full bars, then drop completely, I can also only get 2g where i was able to get higher. The same sim works fine in my nokia. The Wifi Signal is fine and gps works ok but the 'no service' thing makes my phone unusable. I have tried making sure all contacts are clean and even replaced the loudspeaker unit and the black antenna cable but to no avail.

Can someone put up a picture of exactly the components that are involved in the phone signal / 3g setup? Is it possible something could have been damaged on the mainboard to cause this? I can search for networks, connect (sometimes) then it will just cut out.

I tried google for days but cant find a schematic. Basically im trying to determine if there are any other parts i should try exchanging before giving up. It makes no difference how i hold (or dont hold) the phone.

Thanks
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] latinyoungn:
hello all. I have a stock rooted sprint LG G2. I am currently not receiving any OTA updates and I assume it is because I am rooted. I would like to know what my options are to get the stock Kit Kat update. I believe I need to get back to a root state but I cannot seem to find a straight forward method of doing that. I never flashed a rom so I hope I don't need to reflash a stock rom just to re-root.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
Just because you are rooted does not mean that ota won't show up, it just takes some time(a couple of days maybe even a week or two)

I am trying to flash a recovery trough fastboot phone is on .136 software. I "command not allowed" message. My bootloader is unlocked, if

I try to unlock it again it's saying that phone is allready rooted. I have no recovery installed. Anyone knows why I get this error?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Because you do not do it that way on xperia phones.

Look for dual recovery in the OEM cross development thread for xperia devices and install that

Or flash a kernel with recovery like the dualrecovery one or DooMKerneL
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craoul:
I tried DoomKernel and same issue.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
I take it you have all the fastboot drivers and adb installed?

Please show a screenshot of the command window and the contents of the directory where you are using it from

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
You have not unlocked your bootloader yet

Please goto http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ and do that first

Alternatively,

Use flashtool (flashtool.net) to flash a FTF file (FTF mega collection thread) that ends in .534 (You will probably lose IMEi but don't worry)

Then install dual recovery using the installer, not the kernel (XZDR dual recovery thread, OEM cross device development for xperias) then flash SuperSU (From chainfire) then flash a prerooted rom of your choice (Development or original development sections)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craoul:
That's my problem. Even if I try to unlock it's telling me that it cannot do it because the phone is already rooted.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Hmm, I see.

Did you backup your TA partition? If so restore that and try to unlock again.

Otherwise, force a repair of your phones software via PCCompanion and then try again.

Let me know what it says

EDIT

Also try unistalling all your ADB stuff and reinstalling the from the link I sent you
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craoul:
How do I force repair? Because it's telling me to upgrade to the latest software. I am on .136
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Update then.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craoul:
still not working
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Now force the repair.

Goto software update and click on the blue repair my phone link when you see it say the phone is upto date

edit

did you reinstall the adb?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craoul:
did that already
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
OK, reinstall adb from the link I gave you

What OS are you running it from?

Try using flashtool to unlock the bootloader (Use the BLU button) instead of using the command window.

Did you use FlashTool to relock your device?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] yes he did, he was the content of the PM I sent you
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [NUT]:
It's how I got here in the first place :good:

[MENTION=2725797]craoul[/MENTION]

first of all, boot your phone and connect it to usb. Then run adb devices in a CMD window. Note down the serial, you will need it.

Okay, in the flashtool folder, check if

[FLASHTOOL FOLDER]/custom/mydevices/[DEVICE SERIAL]/ulcode.txt

exists.

If not, create the folders along the way there and then use notepad or something very lightweight to create the ulcode.txt. Put in the code, be sure to enter the code without the 0x, so just the code as it came from Sony. Save the file and start FlashTool.

Now the BLU button should offer to unlock again, but there is a difference: it will now use the serial and code to wipe the lock using the FT relock/unlock method. Without that file in place it will use the fastboot method.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craoul:
Yes
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craoul:
Ok, I will try this
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craoul:
It worked. Thank you very much.

No worries, That's what I do.

This one had me baffled though and now I have learned something new again...Its the spirit of XDA-Developers.

Hi,

I have used the previously mentioned method to unlock the bootloader.

Everything using the flashtool seems to work fine, says unlock finished etc, with no errors.

However, in the service info menu on the phone, still says: Bootloader unlock allowed: yes.

Is this right?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Can you post the output log from flashtool when you have done this

Also, have you unlocked using the instructions from the Sony website already? Or are you using flashtool for a first time unlock.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyjrobinson:
Hi,

I had previously unlocked using the instructions from Sony.

I then relocked using Flashtool a while ago.

I then tried to unlock using Sony method without success.

Root your phone using IOROOT25 and then install Leo aGPS Injector to "remind" the GPS of it's location before using it and it'll work a lot better.

Hello people

Im posting this here as I havent managed to find a solution yet.

I have a German T-mobile 16GB d802, only the device was purchased and using it in Greece.

When I was using 4.2.2 everything was perfectly fine concerning LTE with my mobile provider.

After flashing 4.4.2, I noticed that I data traffic was not working anymore. After searching I found that my APN settings were gone, so I manually inserted them.

Following that, I noticed that when I am on LTE network and have data traffic enabled, I don't see the LTE icon on the top right corner on top of the signal sign anymore. The data traffic is working though, so it seems to be a missing icon for some reason.

In 3g/HSPA and Edge I see the relevant signs, the only problem is when using LTE

A friend of mine who has the exact same version of the phone has got the exact same issue on a different cellphone operator. So its not related to the network.

I reported this to LG using the local site, but got the reply that I haven't bought the phone from the local market and they don't know the changes made from tmobile..

On tmobile website you cannot report an issue unless you have a german tmobile subscription or for business issues, so I have sent them my problem stating Im contacting them for business related reasons :confused:

Anyone else got the same issue? Anyone using German T-mobile? Anyone who has any ideas?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gnarfsan:
In your dialer, enter: *#*#4636#*#*

Then go to Phone Info, scroll down and set the drop down to LTE/GSM/WCDMA or something similar with LTE at the start.

See if that works...

This is something you have to do each time you boot though.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parisstc:
What you propose is valid if you cannot enable LTE.

I dont have that problem. I have the option to enable LTE.

The problem is that after my phone connects to LTE I dont see the LTE or 4G icon on the top right side next to the signal sign.

But LTE works perfectly fine, I managed to make a speed test to almost 54Mbps yesterday

http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/785031726

So it not the regular issue that most people have with LTE being disabled, my issue is that the icon is missing :mad:

Thanks for replying though

Sorry. That's annoying :(

I have the excact same problem with my G2. I bought mine last week in the Netherlands, but its a German T-mobile branded d802 16GB LG G2.

As you already stated, LTE does work but the icon is missing.

Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

In addition i also found this:

Dial 3845#*802# on LG-G2 key pad,

then the secret menu will come up...

Then: 1. Go to LTE-Only

2. Modem Settings

3. RAT Selection

4. Select GSM / WCDMA / LTE auto

But when i select LTE-Only a popup comes up saying "not supported" altough LTE works fine appart from the missing icon.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parisstc:
They must have made some customization in the icon that you dont get unless you download the tmobile stuff when you connect the phone at germany,

Do you by any chance speak German so you report the issue as well? Maybe if they get many tickets they will fix ut

As far as I know the stock browser does not have this functionality. Not sure why you would expect it to, especially since Chrome is included in the ROM.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] metalfan78:
I came from the gs3 and the stock browser on that was able to do that, I assumed they all did. It has been a while since I had an HTC phone.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mcwups1:
Well capt, depending on what gapps package you used in AOSP, I'd be able to access my bookmarks through stock browser.

I'm still using Sense 5,but I wouldn't imagine that this would change.

Hit the menu, and go to Bookmarks. Do you have a drop down for the bookmarks that lists All Bookmarks, Local, <youremail>@gmail.com?

I have all of my bookmarks from my stock browser from my first tablet.

The only thing in the drop-down is 'local'
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] AarSyl:
That's strange....can someone else confirm that Local is the only thing available on the drop down? That sucks, because I actually prefer the stock HTC browser over Chrome. My phone tends to like it better. :) Maybe it's just me.
