[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] centro714:
Ok, I was on a custom ROM for LS980 and all of a sudden it rebooted and I had no control of anything. There was no service either.

So first thing I did was a reboot. no good. Then I went booted into TWRP and restored my last backup, thought this would surely fix it but nothing. Still booted but had no functionality, plus now it started to go into a boot loop. Tried recovering different versions and no luck.

Then, I decided to use the Flash Tool recovery method. It worked in the sense that there was no longer a boot loop, but I still had no service and could not use a lot of the functions like updating PRL/PROFILE and few of the apps would not launch like the quick remote, it would say "SIM not ready"

I'm pretty much out of ideas at this point as I only have the flash tool option and since I lost recovery.

Is this considered BRICKED or does anyone have an idea? thanks
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magic2010:
If you are still able to enter in the ROM it's not Bricked....

Put the phone in Fastboot and flash a recovery via Fastboot commands.

Then you can wipe everything (except internal) and flash a new ROM.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] centro714:
I've never fastbooted before. Is there a quick tutorial link for this?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basti2909:
There is no normal fastboot mode as on other phones. Best thing i think try to go back to stock via kdz/tot method and reinstall root and recovery
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] centro714:
So I tried the flash tool again using different TOT files. ZV8 and ZVA files caused boot loops. The only file that almost worked was the ZVC file. By almost I mean, there's no boot loop, and i'm able to use the stock ROM however certain things don't work, like when launching the quick remote app, it says "SIM not ready", or stock video cannot play "Unsupported file type" error, and most importantly I'm not able to get any service.

The good part is, my wifi is working. So next I tried to root, however I get this a "unable to open /system/xbin/su: no such file or directory" (i'm attaching the photo for reference).

Thanks for any other tips of directions.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bachera:
remove sim card and reinsert try that. Not working.

also check your imei. If its not there you may need to recover it from a twrp backup, (recover the efs that is) at least from the time you had no issues. Not working?

Also I read nothing about wiping. (wipe everything except internal sd) before performing a clean instal. Check for same issues, not there victory.

be carefull with full backups, they might contain the issue you are experiencing.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] centro714:
this is a ls980 so I can't remove the Back cover unless there's a way I don't know.

Also, I lost twrp recovery when I used the flash tool and tot method. Now, i'm trying to root and get recovery back but can't even root.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bachera:
I am not very familiar with your model. But on the d802 there is a small slot on the side of the phone with a small hole. With the phone in box was a small metal device which you could poke in hole and the slot would open. Maybe other user could confirm.

Did you backup your twrp backup of the phone? Then now is also the time to put it back if the tot method deleted it.

Anyway did you check your imei, (dial *#06#, it should show your imei). usually when service is lost there is something wrong with imei, or simcard.

imei can be recovered by the efs backup in a twrp backup. Simcard via putting out back in, reboot, etc.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] centro714:
Thanks for all your help! sounds like its definitely a imei and Sim related issue.

I don't have any backups but I can get to the factory recovery which has an adb side load option. Do you think I can side load a stock ROM this way? If so, what type of file do I use?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bachera:
you can go to download mode and flash a stock rom, but that wont help get you imei back sir if thats whats gone cant help you with that without a backup. Even though there are guides somewhere ;)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] centro714:
Yup, that's what I figured after numerous flash tool and tot files.

I found this link that sounds suspiciously like what i'm facing:

http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-backup-and-restore-lost-imei-on-lg-g2/

Itching to get home and try it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] centro714:
Can't get the software to recognize that the phone is connected via USB even though I reinstalled drivers and restarted.

I'm pretty much stuck.

Since I have no imei does this also mean it's a bad esn?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lim Wee Huat:
With no imei.. It's confirmed gone.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] centro714:
Damn. now I have a small lg tablet:banghead:

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] centro714:
Yea tried this but stuck on step 8 like one of the commenters.

Anyone else have last ideas before this phone goes on the auction block?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RohanM:
uy can remove sim, on left side there is a tray just use any sim removal & bingo.

I wonder how can people use a phone & dont even know that they can remove sim... lol
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] centro714:
So I removed Sim and reinserted it and still no imei. At least I know there's a Sim card access.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreatVortex:
Well if you got no imei and no backup, you can't fix it home.

[LG G Watch] ameadows252:
So the one thing I have been consistently seeing around the web is that those who purchased over-night shipping, haven't received notifications. So I'm wondering if they're handling those orders differently. I'm sure it's on its way out the door either tonight or early Saturday morning. I wouldn't be surprised if you received it in the mail on Monday.
[LG G Watch] nkgangew:
I thought about canceling actually. It crossed my mind because i used a different credit card card this time around because it has a larger ceiling than the one i used for my N5. So I've been wondering if maybe the payment is being denied or stuck inside of some sort of limbo. But I can't lie... I'll be ordering from Google again.

And I hope what you're saying is true, ameadows, however I think I've seen people in other threads say theat they did One day shipping as well, yet got shipping emails. However, i don't know if they were white or black.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s3rootnoob:
I tried rooting (my first time) and loading a gummy rom onto my s3 a couple days ago and ended up soft-bricking my phone and nothing I'm trying is bringing it back. Here's what I did:

- I rooted the phone and installed CWM 5.5. From there I made a backup of my phone and copied Gummy-M2.2-06-19-14-NIGHTLY-d2lte.zip and GApps_Standard_4.4.4_signed.zip onto my phone. I tried erasing the caches, installing the gummy rom from zip using CWM and it failed with a status 7. When I tried rebooting the phone it gets to the AT&T logo and freezes there everytime and even after everything I've tried, it is still stuck there.

Here are the things I tried to fix it:

- First thing I did was factory reset, erase the cache, dalvik cache, and tried to restore. Still stuck at the logo.

- Then I tried factory resetting it, erasing the caches and rebooting. No go.

- I tried modifying the updater-script file in the gummy rom to remove the check for my device but I still got an error when I tried loading it in CWM.

- I tried downloading a stock AT&T rom and flashing with Odin 1.8.5 and 3.09 but odin always gives me this:

<ID:0/004> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/004> SingleDownload.

<ID:0/004> aboot.mbn

<ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!!

<ID:0/004> FAIL! (Auth)

<ID:0/004>

<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

My phone in download mode gives the following error after I try flashing:

SW REV CHECK FAIL : Fused 2 > Binary 0

The stock ROM I tried is I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_ATT. I've downloaded multiple copies of this and tried them all to no avail.

I'm starting to read about boot chains, bootloaders, and PIT files but I'm very reluctant to try any of that bc from what I can tell it can be very risky. Please help, I'm at a loss now and running out of ideas.

adb push vold /system/bin/vold
adb shell

[Galaxy Camera Android Development] croccodillo:
Hallo all,

I'm using a Galaxy Camera for a commercial application, as a remote camera controlled via a TCP socket by a remote computer.

Everything is working -quite- fine, but I face a problem.

What I do is to collect camera preview frames (the frame you can also see on the camera screen), compress them to a jpeg format (they are given you as Boitmaps) and then ship them on the net.

The compression algorithm is quite heavy, even using internal Android APIs.

For this reason, the camera became hot in a really short time, and then thermal throttle kicks in.

With thermal throttle active, the CPU frequency drops down to about 800Mhz, and thus my application slow down and I cannot sustain anymore the needed compression/streaming flux.

Is there any way I can disable, modify, soften the Thermal throttle on this device?

Is there any file I can edit in manner to raise the threshold, or make the thermal throttle less aggressive?

Thermal throttle kicks in at around 48°C (calculated...), so I still have a large margin of safety.

bear also in mind I'm not using the battery anymore; it has been substituted by a fake battery, an aluminum block with the right dimensions, with a PCB where the battery contacts are, and an external stabilized power supply.

Please help me!

Ciao,

Giovanni

So i took my phone to the pool dip it in the water for a bit and made sure that the flaps were closed and sealed. After a couple hours of the pool, my phones screen started to go haywire like it thinks someone is touching the phone. i can't enter my password or do anything. I placed in rice for half a day and left it in an oven at about 100 degree F for about 10 minutes to dry out anything if it was to have any water and the screen acts the same. The water indicator has not been set off.

I live in the USA so sonyw arrant support would be of no use. any suggestion?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ParanormalBat:
Usually drying the screen should fix it.

The problem with swimming pools are that they have chlorine in them. Sony only advertises waterproofing for fresh water. The chlorine may have reacted with something, making the touchscreen go completely nuts for this extensive period of time.

I would've avoided the oven if I were you.

Try the forum community. There are some experts there that may be able to help with your issue. Make sure to provide all details.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ParanormalBat:
Like I said, it's the chlorine, not the water.

Of course you can get a repair. Just don't tell them you dipped it in a swimming pool (Sony's waterproofing page actually restricts usage of phone in a swimming pool).

Just tell them you got it in water and it stayed crazy.

I just realised, is glove mode enabled in settings?

This option makes the touchscreen super sensitive.
