That violet is absolutely gorgeous. Too bad I can't get it.

I'm really stuck between Verizon's gross black or white. I hear the white version feels more matte compared to the black's glossy feels, so will probably end up with that. I tend to like all black and Verizon already ruined that with gaudy accents...
[G3 General] gorillaz1:
Shine Gold is amazing. Much better than the Galaxy S5 gold for sure.
[G3 General] Forest007:
I only had two choices, black or white (AT&T). I didn't even know that there was a "violet"....interesting...

If I actually had the option, I'd probably get the burgundy. Since I don't, I'll be getting the white.

i love the white as it looks more like a ceramic knife . Black is boring, purple is for metro sexual and red is a gay color imho :D
[G3 General] jh1523:
Everyone seemed to get the Gold, so I tried to be original and got the Black... :)

(but I will get the Gold for the wife)
[G3 General] iTbagdUrMac:
I got the black(grey) one. I don't need a "look at me" gold-ish phone. Although, for a gold blingy phone, it is not bad.
[G3 General] kjung7:
Just preordered the white one, wanted the storm trooper look haha
[G3 General] scy1192:
hopefully getting white
[G3 General] deejay6901:
im using the gold color now. it really looks cool and classy. this is my first "other" color used aside from the common white and black :)
[G3 General] CisternaChyli:
i wish Verizon had the gold one; i'm sure they will get it soon, after the exclusivity that Sprint has runs out.
[G3 General] overzeetop:
I was hoping Verizon would get Burgundy. I'm kind of hoping they offer it as a Qi charging back option so I can swap it, though it would probably look better on a black bezel instead of the white one I ordered.
[G3 General] _Infamous_:
Can't decide if I want black or white I'm scared the white might turn yellow after a while

I wanted to buy Black one, but have cancelled pre-order after 3 weeks of waiting (seems there is a big problem with new delivery of LG G3 to Finland) and bought Gold one (32 gb, the only choice still available to buy right now). It is not yellow, it is 'gold'. Anyway as I understand, I will be able to change the back cover later to any color just by Quick Circle.
[G3 General] CisternaChyli:
could go with white and buy a gold back plate...that might look pretty swanky.

[G3 General] enaybee:
I have a white G3 but not that it was my choice. Store I went to only had 4 G3/s on launch day and only in white color. However the demo unit was suspiciously in black color. I tried another store and they also received 4 G3 all in white. None of the stores I have visited or called had QuickCircle Cover. It is a shame that AT&T is not pushing this phone. All muscle go behind Galaxy S or iPhones.
[G3 General] Pr20:
I guess that means we can replace the white back cover with a new one if it starts to become yellow or dirty, right?

Cuz I want to get the white one but I'm afraid of it getting dirty.
[G3 General] CisternaChyli:
lol yeah those look terrible but it might look nice on a phone. Gold and white complement each other. I dunno, gotta try it and see haha.

just get a case for the white one...i've never actually seen dirty white phones.
[G3 General] jdh10475:
Is this something you have experienced? Just wondering I have had several white phones currently the white Nexus 5 and do not have any issues neither does my case that is white.

As for the G3 I'm white all the way!
[G3 General] jmm22:
Went with black because white would be pretty inappropriate for my profession, it's too flashy. However, both are very nice looking.
[G3 General] screwyluie:
Well, el daddy, in his infinite 'wisdom' has told me I need to ask a

release

question in the 'what's you favorite color' thread, so forgive me, here goes:

Does anyone have any information on color release? Are all carriers getting all colors? Colors carrier specific? Time line? I'm particularly interested in the moon violet.

Thanks
[G3 General] mvtm:
Bought it gold! Love it! The color has really grown on me. It really looks higher end in Gold. I'm female so it suits me nicely. Would not imagine purchasing it other color. As i came from a white Note 2 and a black S4 . Didn't. Want to get the G3 in white as i think it looks too plain. I was between black and gold. Figure not much people would have gold as it is not available on all carriers plus the shiny metallic effect would stand out more. I really like this subtoned shade of gold.
[G3 General] idelgado782:
I wanted white, but the best buy stores near me only have black and I wanted to take advantage of the gift card promo so I sucked it up and got the black. I'm hoping they get a shipment of white before my return period Is which is in 4 days.

No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.

You can only downgrade back to 4.3 instead of 4.1.2 if you've flashed KitKat 4.4.2 via ODIN.

What you mean you've flashed to 4.4.2 official and didn't work? Cannot boot or other problem?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahawa:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Delirious17:
Okay I have been having issues galore trying to update my Sprint SPH-L900 to the new 4.4. Mainly unexpected errors package when trying to install. Already wiped cache and factory resetted. Still on 4.3 I hope now Kies3 will be able to help. Sunofabit KIES CRASHES AND NOW I AM STUCK ON FIRMWARE UPGRADE ENCOUNTERED AN ISSUE! I can still get into bootloader thankfully. Trying to flash back to 4.3 or 4.1.2 gives me a sboot.bin fail on Odin.

I also tried a second computer with Kies 3 to upgrade firmware initialization and it just sat there with Kies dimmed the whole freaking night! It'll say it's downloading the necessary things to do it and then it just sits there with Kies dimmed.

I have no idea what to do What should I do from here?? :(

Any help here please greatly appreciated!

use version 6.07.9

1. open odin (recommend 1.85) and uncheck reboot option then click pda and select file

2. boot phone into download mode and connect to pc

3. flash file from odin

4. disconnect phone from pc and remove battery

5. while holding vol +, home key, power key insert battery (just to make sure it boots into recovery)

6. flash whatever rom you want aosp or touchwiz

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] arichter35:
Hi, im having similar issues and i tried your method above, with odin 1.85 and i cant get past the bootloop (samung logo) screen. I am relatively new to this and was on stock MK4 and flashed the 4.4.2 OTA file that was posted on XDA because i was too impatient to wait for the OTA. After flashing the 4.4.2 file, i decided i was going to go back to Stock MC2 (Billard's file) and just wait for the OTA updates all over again, which has proved to be stupid on my part. As i was going through the process of receiving the OTA for MK4, the phone just got hung up on the Samsung logo screen and i havent been able to get it back to normal yet.

I have tried your method above, tried going back to MK4 through an Odin Tar, tried flashing TWRP, and ive gotten nowhere. Ive spent the last two days on here, researching and downloading files that have worked for others. Im at wits end.

Any advice, aside what you've described above would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance for anything you can do.

Samsung Bootloop After Updating to MK4

I'm also having a similar issue. I'm able to successfully flash garwyn's modified mk4 stock rom using odin, but the original tar file always fails instantly after attempting to flash sboot.bin. When the original tar file is flashed, the phone reports "Unsupported Version" in the download screen. I was able to flash the stock mk4 recovery and the twrp and philz custom recoveries, but I was not able to get into the recovery mode. The phone remains in the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" screen when trying to boot normally or get into recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey everyone. I have huge problem with my Galaxy Nexus i9250 for few days now.

Let me start from beggining.

First it was showing charging symbol even if it ain't plugged in. Then it stopped after I cleaned charging port.

Few weeks back there were great floods in my region (Bosnia) and we were in lack of electricity so I started to charge it on a car charger and after it's completely charged (2h) as soon as I start to use it the battery goes off really fast, example, if I use it for let's say calls or even on "stand by" after 30mins the battery goes for like 40%. That's when problems started to begin. If it was turned off becuase of lack of battery I had to turn it on by pressing "Down volume + power" for first 2 times. Then I had to remove battery for few seconds then put it back not completely but I had to press the battery against those 4 pins which conduct electricity to a cell phone and press those two buttons for like 30 seconds to turn it on. Few days ago, I had same problem, but this time it wasnt empty on battery, it was in my pocked with almost 50% of battery when I took it and I saw it was off. Tried again that same proccedure, it turned on, showed recovery menu and it turned off. Ever since I can't turn it on, it charges, but it doesn't show charging indicator on my screen. When I put my battery in other phone it shows it's fully charged. I can't turn it on, my PC won't reconize it, let's say it's dead. I don't know what's happening, so I'm asking here if anyone knows what to do. Thanks to all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Frank Hilario:
sounds like a battery + charger issue

You must verify the voltage output of the car adapter you were using with the phone , remember that the fact it has a micro USB does not mean its designed to the specs of your phone, sounds like the battery went berserk after it was charged with that car adapter ... you should not tinker more with the phone and get a new battery and the original charger for it , if you can or are able to ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aLvindeBa:
Thank you Frank. I already tought nobody will reply to this. So you think if I buy new battery and charger cell phone will start to work?

Car charger was combined, USB cable from Nokia and car adapter is for let's say every cell phone. I have original Samsung Nexus wall charger I got with that cell phone and it charges the battery it just wont turn on the phone. Either PC doesnt want to reconize it, tried with Device Manager to see if is there anything but no. Thank you again for your reply.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aLvindeBa:
Still no luck! Does anyone have something to suggest? :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Frank Hilario:
Hmmmm .... still would go for battery malfunction !

you say it charges the battery ? if you are able to see the white icon of the battery charging when the phone is off and you connect the charger , then it's definitely the phone battery .... replace it and lets hope it works out:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aLvindeBa:
No, I'm unable to see battery charging indicator. But when I lick the battery you can feel the electricity. Yea, it's stupid method but it does the job. And when I put it in another phone it says it's almost full 99% to be exact. So battery... Gonna buy a new one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koolgk:
Alright, i have been sailing in the same boat, my i9250 has not been charging for quite some time.

Now for all most few months the phone is charging without any problem. I suspect the Google Search application could be the reason. I uninstalled all the Google Search application update and kept it to the one come by default. Since then i am able to charge my phone without any problem. The Google search version that i have is V 2.2.9.542574.

Try it out. All the best!!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quailallstar:
I picked up a Z1 C6906 and to my surprise the bootloader is not unlockable. Going to be selling the phone and getting a white Z2 D6503 instead, but only if the bootloader is indeed unlockable. Given the Z2 has not been released in the USA [yet?], chances are this unit on Amazon is bootloader unlockable right? It is an international version.

Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-FACTORY-...?ie=UTF8&qid=1401728940&sr=8-2&keywords=d6503

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] se1000:
If it's not carrier branded it shouldn't have an unlockable bootloader.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quailallstar:
You mean

should

right?

I thought the same and the Z1 I got was carrier unbranded from Sony but a US model - which I suspect is the locked bootloader issue I encountered.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] se1000:
If carrier branded, then locked blootloader that cannot be unlocked

If not carrier branded, then locked bootloader that can be unlocked

Of course, you may want to ask the retailer to confirm before purchase.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CenteaOSD:
Not all carrier branded one is not allowing unlock the bootloader... like mine.... I purchased it from Telstra and have got Telstra firmware and boot splash.

but I was be able to unlock my bootloader.

But it is true that not many career is not allowing you to unlock the bootloader. So check it with display model just type in *#*#7378423#*#* at caller and go to service info　then tap configuration.... and bottom of that screen they say bootloader unlock allowed:yes/no.

Retailer often will not tell that kind of information to customers.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] se1000:
Certain carriers such as 3 may ship with an unlockable bootloader, but for the purposes of what the OP is asking, that's a gamble. Plus, I haven't seen a list of carriers and the state they ship Z2 bootloaders in anywhere as a reference either.

I bought one from Amazon USA and the bootloader isn't unlockable.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mathieulh:
Xperia Z2 from the official Amazon vendor in European stores, like Amazon France come with an unlockable bootloader, so do ones from the Sony store. Anything else is a gamble, beware that most vendors that ship to the U.S. get the HK or Taiwanese models from existing local carriers to save a few bucks, because they are cheaper and sim unlocked, which is probably what happened to the OP.

Most users don't even care/try to unlock the bootloader, so the vendors rather increase their margins the way they can.

I suggest you return the unit you've got if you can't unlock the bootloader, especially if you bought it at the full price.

I'm unable to make any Nandroid Backups on my i9500, running TWRP 2.7.0.0. Previously, I was able to make backups as well as restore them. But I've started having this problem since 15-20 days. I want to flash to a Custom ROM right now, but I can't because none of my older Nandroid backups are working, and when I try to make a new one, it says - Backup Complete, Failed.

How can I get rid of this problem? Should I flash an older version of TWRP? If yes, how should I do it? Just flash it through recovery?
