[General Questions and Answers] finbaar:
I am running CM 11 Snapshot M9 without any real issues on my LG G2 D802. The only problem I have is as I am in the UK I would like to use the 3 In Touch app so I can call over wifi. However it will not work with root. I can’t say that losing root would be a big hassle to me as I would like to be able to make and receive calls via wifi at work. I have tried HideMyRoot and RootCloak apps without success along with disabling root in the CM settings.

So my idea is to unroot using SuperSU. Would I still be able to update via TWRP after removing root? And would TowelRoot work to re-root my phone if I need to do that? Will removing root screw up CM? I really don’t want to go back to stock just to make calls. Thanks.

Or if someone has managed to hide root and use 3 In Touch let me know how.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loperaco:
Hi.

I come from another post looking for a solution to my dilemma (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/help/switch-stock-rom-t2866861#post55236673), thanks to fffft member found that I can open the band 4 of my cell S5 using the QPST program, however I can not find a modified .qcn file that corresponds to my model (G900F).

What I have done is make a backup of my original .qcn (which understand not share because there goes my IMEI) and I need advice from someone who knows that is the parameter that should change to open the AWS band 4.

Much appreciate your help.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loperaco:
I see that nobody has answered, if it was not for lack of cooperation, or because no one has had this problem.

Continue researching and achieve get qcn file G900M, which is super, but not left so installed as well, the QPST program generates an error and does not let install, so proceeded to compare them to see how different they are, and actually they are very different in their hexadecimal setting.

The issue now is, I need someone to tell me what are the parameter I have to modify my original qcn (my G900F) to enable AWS band 4.

Thank you for your help.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loperaco:
Hello again fffft.

I will try to explain everything in the best way. I can not send the file qcn G900M, because I have understood that within the IMEI can be identified, and the first thing I asked the person I give it to me was that change could not deliver it to anyone.

Now step by step to do was the following (taken from this forum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2291589 ):

Install phoneutil.apk in my phone.

Install QPST 2.7 build 323.

Choose the usb connection “RNDIS + DM + MODEM” from the menu that comes by typing *#0808#.

On the Ports tab of the program QSPT set the COM port corresponding to the cell (seeing that port recognizes the cell through Device Manager).

Choose “Start Clients” and choose “SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD”.

Hit the “Restore” tab, set port to COM number, choose the QCN file, and start.

Attached two images, one in which it is seen that the process is running smoothly, and a second in which shows the error.

With regard to your question about the RMNET protocol, for I must say I have no idea regards, because as I said I am still a newbie.

Finally and with respect to qcn file G900T me would be very very difficult to get the file G900M was relatively easy (not as easy lol) but because here in my country is the model that is sold, but the model does not get G900T no way.

I remain attentive to your suggestions, and thanks again for the help.

I thought S5 supports AWS band as well as other bands? I bought S5 from Rogers and use it with Wind mobile (Canada).
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loperaco:
Hi.

Well, with my answer are attached to the two qcn files, not if it's okay to post them because I do not know which is the information that I'm giving, but I'll trust you fffft.

Review the entries with IMEI and clear, making this process and I thought this would be a very good explanation of why not to overwrite the original file leaves the cell, because the second IMEI not for the phone, but even if this were true, no understand how in the above forum they spread a qcn file for S4 that everyone could use.

Anyway, I hope that with this we can advance the issue to see if I can get out of this mess.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loperaco:
Ok fffft, I found the parameter you say, but now my question is, as I edit the file qcn? I need some special program?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loperaco:
Well, download the program XVI32 to edit the hexadecimal, apparently was successful but eventually the program generated the same mistake I had already seen, indicating "Could not reset the phone. COmmunication Errors Occurred".

Will you help me?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loperaco:
Hi there.

I have an interesting fact to share, because I could not properly complete the process to overwrite the qcn file then started to review the QPST program and its functions, among these I found the display content on qcn files through this for any entries who had been unable to write and determine that it was possible to write the file so qcn "hot" (ie directly on the phone) Oh and surprise! when I saw that the code / parameter that indicated fffft if I had changed even though the restore process had not been successful.

Anyway achieved modify the parameter in question and probe the cell after this, but still not achieve even connect AWS band 4, so despite the success the result was a failure.

Knowing this now accept suggestions from all of you experts.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJ_Boja:
Got a little further, but the bands did not get enabled...

fffft, Laperaco,

I am pursuing the same Band change as described here and have an update of the things that I was able to discover:

1) I was able to use QPST and pull NV backup from my phone - see my JJ_ATT_S5_Bands_Tester_No_IMEI (IMEI removed in Line 550)

**Note that I was not able to restore any QCN back to my phone in either USB mode (and I think this is what Loperaco was talking about), but...

2) I was able to program my phone directly using RF NV Item Manager, but did not get desired results (see below):

- a) I changed 1877 NV_RF_BC_CONFIG_l from 80 03 e8 04 to 80 03 e8 06 and nothing changed - i.e. radio still worked and I was still getting EDGE (no HSPA+)

- b) I tried changing the next line 1878 NV_RF_HW_CONFIG_I from f6 to 2c, because I saw that in another QCN file I found online. That actually "killed" my radio altogether, at least until I changed it back to f6

- c) Upon further inspection of the

SM-N900T

file I found online (too big to upload here), I saw that there are quite a few differences, which leads me to believe that additional configurations must be made to take advantage of the HSPA+ bands.

!! Please !! If someone with T-Mobile SGS5 looking at this, could you pull your QCN, mask IMEI if you'd like and post it here for comparison.

Otherwise, fffft, do you have any other thoughts regarding the changes needed...?

Last note that files are posted as .qcn.txt, becuase forum does not allow posting of qcn file extensions. Just remove .txt and you will have original qcn.

Thanks,

JJ
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loperaco:
Ok ok, let me see how I can solve this.

First of all is not reluctance, I tried to be clear in how I do things, but I'll try again:

1. I bought a model of cell G900F that has disabled the AWS band 4.

2. I tried using the QPST program to replace the qcn file with one that corresponded to a G900M model, since in this model if the band 4 is enabled, but the process to make it in the program generated the error "Could not reset the phone. Communication Errors Occurred ".

3. I do not know how or if the QPST program writes an error log, so I do not know where to look it can be sent. I explain how to install and run the program each button is a bit wasteful, but I followed the steps in this forum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2291589

4. After this, and having received suggestions from fffft, I tried modifying the original qcn file from my phone, because I thought that perhaps the problem was because they were different models and finally the phone would not allow me to put a qcn file of another model. The modifications I did was change the parameter NV_RF_BC_CONFIG_l from 80 03 e8 04 to 80 03 e8 06. This is done by the program XVI32 modifying the hexadecimal.

5. I tried again using the option to restore the qcn file in QPST program, but got the same error "Could not reset the phone. Communication Errors Occurred".

6. I assumed I had to think of something else so it was when using the RF NV Manager (included in the installation program QSPT) for locate the actual file contents qcn on my phone, and I realized that despite the error obtained in restoring the file using the QPST program the parameter indicated in paragraph 4 of this list if it had changed.

7. I proceeded to check the signal and actually still had no access to the 4G network, the most that is connected to the HSDPA + network.

8. I read the comments from fffft and now I'm writing this.

I hope I was clear in my problem and have made a good step by step.

Now the issue is that:

A. I do not know how to access the diagnostic menu that enables or disables the AWS band, so I do not understand fffft what you're talking about.

B. I agree that modify only the parameter in question is not sufficient, otherwise the matter would be solved.

C. It is possible that I made ​​a mistake as you point out, I finally am new to this, but still I explained my process so I am attentive to suggestions.

Thanks for the help.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loperaco:
Hi JJ.

We are indeed talking about the same issue, however I see a difference and that is that despite not having the band 4 AWS enabled on your phone, this only gives you the edge band, however my phone without enabling the band 4 gives me HSDPA+, so my question, just out of curiosity, is what is the frequency at which your operator transmits the EDGE network?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJ_Boja:
Laperaco,

1) I was also unable to load qcn file from backup even without modifications, so...

2) I made modifications directly to the phone using RF NV Item Manager*

*Note from my post that changing line 1877 made no difference in connectivity for me.

3) This specific connection is below (although it naturally fluctuates):

Network Type: EDGE:2

GSM RSSI: -89db (63%) 12 asu

GSM Signal Strength: 13db (42%)

Preferred Network Type is LTE/GSM autio (PRL)*

*Non-GSM selections (WCDMA, LTE-only, etc) simply do not connect, so no HSPA+ for me

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loperaco:
Ok JJ, we are going through the same steps, we must wait for more help, I'll keep researching but I see that not many people have our problem.

I have a question is that with that code or through option that could see data that you send me.

Any information or change that has put it in the post.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Ian the Great:
It seems that flashing a modem on the GS5 can be real pain. Even using a pc w/odin the modem doesn't always stick.

I've been messing around with terminal emulator trying to figure it out. I pieced together a small script that is letting me flash a modem. Its easy and fast for me, so i thought I'd try to share it here.

It is working on my phone without fail, but that doesn't always mean it will work for others.

If anyone is up for trying this out on their phone there are instructions below. However, There is some risk.

DO NOT TRY THIS if you are not experienced with flashing modems. This could possibly soft brick your phone. It could possibly break, or erase your current modem.

If you don't know how to fix it, (i.e.

recover from softbrick, have the ability to flash modem with pc) YOU SHOULD NOT TRY THIS.

If you are comfortable with that then please go ahead and tell me if it works for you:

You will need the modem.bin file extracted from any of the stock .tar.md5s available.

Here is BNG4 if you need one.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4OeXSTx8tgBWGlHWU1mVDZ0cDQ/edit?usp=docslist_api

Make sure the modem.bin is stored on your internal sd. Path: /storage/emulated/0/ -Not in the download folder.

Once you have the modem.bin on your internal sd, you will open terminal emulator. Make sure you are running as superuser.(type: su then hit enter)

Now, just copy and paste this exactly as it is below into terminal and run it(enter)

---------------------------------------------------------

#!/system/bin/sh

# variables

partition="/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem"

modem="/sdcard/modem.bin"

busybox="/system/xbin/busybox"

# main

$busybox dd if="${modem}" of="${partition}"

-----------------------------------------------------------

Once you hit run, it will take a second or up to 10 before it outputs a confirmation. It should show 100000ish+1 records in/out and copied modem.bin size MB and speed in MB/sec.

Reboot your phone and thats it.

The baseband version should now be updated in settings and anywhere else you might find it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
I would change "partition=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2" to this: partition="/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem"

This will ensure the the correct block is written to no matter what S5 variant they are using. Hardcoding blocks can sometimes yet seldomly lead to bricked devices :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Ian the Great:
Yes, that is better. Thanks

will it let me flash G900F modem on G900T ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] spirodave:
I have flashed modems via PC with odin and They stick everytime as long as I pull the battery first. I will give terminal a try .Thanks

---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 AM ----------

By the way I am trying this right now .. I will post back shortly
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] xda23:
Hey how did this workout for you bud. Thanks :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] spirodave:
I found i faster to just convert the modem.bin to a tar.md5 . I put the NH5Modem up in the general section . After it wouldnt let me copy and paste the command from chrome to terminal emulator i just decided to convert it . I guess i could have just used ADB but didnt think about it at the time . I didnt want to risk typing the wrong command to terminal to install the modem .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tech128:
Just tried this script a min ago with the NH5 modem.

It looked like it worked, but then after I rebooted and disabled airplane mode, it still says NF6.

I've done a similar method with my fiancee's Galaxy S T959V and it works fine, apparently not with this phone...

[MENTION=5527932]Ian the Great[/MENTION].

In /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/ I have 3 devices: modem modemst1 modemst2

I did everything from an adb root shell.

I backed up all of them with dd.

-rw------- 1 root root 3145728 2016-11-29 12:00 modembak-st1.ang2

-rw------- 1 root root 3145728 2016-11-29 12:00 modembak-st2.ang2

-rw------- 1 root root 60227584 2016-11-29 11:59 modembak.ang2

But when I tried to overwrite modem with the new modem.bin I was blocked for some reason:

dd: /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem: Operation not permitted

I tried disabling selinux (and confirmed it was disabled) but it didn't help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Ian the Great:
I'm not sure It was quite awhile back when I needed this. Sounds like your device is a little different than what I was using when I posted this.

In general from what i remember there number of things can block you from writing there. You may need to be on stock recovery and kernel. Having modified recovery like twrp or custom kernel can alert device so modem won't stick after reboot or it won't write at all .

Another idea to possibly try is, from the stock firmware, extract the file named NON-HLOS.bin and write that to apnhlos slot.

in other words instead of

dd if=/sdcard/modem.bin of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem

The command would be something like

dd if=/sdcard/NON-HLOS.bin of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/apnhlos

I'm pretty sure I was able update modem on newer samsung with just the NON-HLOS file, but can't remember exactly which phone I had and command used. Backing up apnhlos like you did with modem is probably smart.

Also If you are using adb from a pc why not just use Odin to flash it? Probably easier than dd method.

[Moto X Q&A] mubeen.khairul@gmail.com:
Hi,

I have read that Active Display on Moto X is Battery friendly Because it powers up only specific pixels.

So, I got an IDEA that why can't someone design a UI to use as battery saving mode. which only uses specific pixels, turns off all smart-phone features, sensors and changes it to a black and white mobile with only dialer, call logo, sms app.

If anyone likes my Idea, Please keep let me know.

Thank you

I originally posted this review in the AT&T LG G3 accessory thread. I want to share this with all G3 users. The skins will work with all versions of the G3.

StickerBoy has over 40 styles to choose from for the LG G3

I received two different style skins a black Carbon Fiber and the Kyrobe Wood. The skins are available as full kits or as parts here is a list of what is available for the G3.

Combo 1 - Front, Back, Sides = $19.95

Combo 2 - Front, Back = $14.95

Combo 3 - Back, Sides = $14.95

Front only = $7.95

Back only = $9.95

Sides only = $9.95

Use cupone code ( RT ) to save 10% off your order.

http://www.stickerboy.net/pages/lg-g3-skin-series

Installation is not complicated but I do recommend taking your time and using hairdryer after you've applied the skin will help the skin conform perfectly to the phone. On the G3 skin the battery door was the hardest part will all the curves and angels at the top and bottom. I would take your time and be patient and you will get a good install. I think I spend about 10 minutes on the battery door by it's self and another 10 minutes on the rest of the phone. On the front of my G3 I have a Nillkin Glass screen protector installed and you can see in the photos I was still able to install the front skins without any problems.

This first photo shows what is includes in combo 1.

The following photos are of the Kyrobe wood skin.

I like the skins from Stickerboy.com I think they are a great alternative to a slim case. Now keep in mind that these skins are not going to provide you with lots of drop protection but they will prevent you from getting scratches and scuffs on your brand-new phone.

So i noticed there are many users coming from a galaxy device, and there are i think more features than most of us know when it comes to this device, everyone just post a tip you think someone might now know:

I'll start with mine: If you click and hold the multitask button, it will bring down the settings menu, this can be used pretty much anywhere, even in the homescreen.

Also if you open an app using qslide you can move the app all the way to the left edge of the screen and it will turn into a button which can be pressed and brought up at anytime.
[G3 General] mjb152:
good post this, keep them coming !
[G3 General] Sidz4u:
U can slide the Qslide to either edge. Works same ways for both the sides.

I just upgraded from a well-loved GS3 (it was getting flaky though) and I miss having built-in widgets for controlling bluetooth or wifi on/off that you can put on your main screens (Samsung had the power bar - which had a bunch of stuff). I'd rather not use the HD widgets if I don't have to - and pulling down the menu bar isn't always convenient.
[G3 General] shadehh:
This used to be my favorite tool, i know you mentioned you don't want to download any alternatives or so i understood but: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc&hl=en

You can create your own powerbar where you can toggle wifi on/off bluetooth etc.. infact, i think i'm downloading this myself now that you reminded me of it, it is indeed more convenient.

When you scroll from bottom to open the qhickmemo+

Press the brow arrows that appear in the top after you'll be able to select an area to capture it
