[Verizon LG G2] BalloonBoy:
Figure I'll post here as well since this is a question or a request for help...

I just did a clean flash of Xdabbeb's Verizon ROM version 2.1.0. The Camera no longer offers 4K video recording in the list of supported resolutions. Nor does it offer 720p 120fps. They simply are not in the list in the camera app.

Previously I was on version 1.2.1 of this ROM and these modes worked fine.

Is there something I am doing wrong?

This one is for all the vetrans here.

I've owned my Wizard for a good 6 months now. In this time, I have learnt so much from these forums. This place is incredible and the wealth of knowledge here is mind blowing.

I've been reading up on all these different kinds of ROMs and updates and Radios etc etc. Since I am still very new to all of this, I've been researching about all of this for a while now. However, certain basic concepts evade me.

I'd love it if somebody here could outline what exactly all of this is. I see so many different kinds of ROM updates and it's like a sea of info which seems never ending. AKU's, Radio's, Extended ROMs, WWEs, A2DP... it all seems overwhelming. I was wondering if somebody could either put together or help me put together a very detailed guide about all these various facets of the Wizard.

In my opinion that would reduce the amount of newbie clutter plaguing the forums at the moment.

TIA

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McNiiby:
I installed cyanogenmod a few months back and last night I tried to remove it, in the end I ended up with no rom with default recovery/modem/kernel adb refuses to work on my computer so no luck with sideloading and my phone also wont read my internal SD card. I can't unlock my bootloader since there isn't a ROM? Not really sure on that one, but so far no luck with auto bootloader unlockers. And I can't use Kie's because it's not a supported device since I changed things? and using Odin to install a ROM because they freeze while connecting to device.... Anyone have some ideas?

This is what I get from pretty much everything I tried to flash, this was CF auto root

With adb I tried following a guide to flash ROM on to my phone

Download this mini-sdk package and extract it to c:\mini-sdk

Rename the custom ROM package you want to flash to "rom.zip" and copy it to c:\mini-sdk

Connect your device to the PC

Boot your device in recovery mode

Open a command prompt on the PC (cmd.exe), type and confirm each command with ENTER:

cd /d c:\mini-sdk

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
A little sparse on details here...

How did you try to remove CM?

How do you know that your phone can't read the internal storage if it is not booting up?

Also, there certainly is a bootloader on your phone.

If Odin is freezing, this is going to be an issue with one of the ports, the cord, or the computer.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McNiiby:
Sorry, I tried to add more detail, but was blocked by the spam filter since I'm a new user. I was quite tired as well after trying to fix it for 6+ hours... I'll try to give you as much information as I can.

I tried to remove it by installing the Kernal/Recovery and modem, and figured I could add the ROM in later.

My device will get to the recovery screen, but since it's not an unlocked bootloader my theory is that's why odin doesn't work, but I can't unlock my bootloader since there's no ROM?

There is nothing wrong with the ports or the cord I can get the device to show up and stay on the computer and was able to use odin just fine up until now. My problem with Odin is it gets stuck when I get here, mind you CF-Autoroot isn't the only thing I've tried to flash, I've tried TWRP and CWM, but since neither will work with out being unlocked, I have to find a way to unlock the bootloader.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
The status of the bootloader definitely does not have anything to do with Odin not working. The tool is meant to flash firmware to stock phones as well. You need to follow this:

I'm using PA 4.6b1 on my OnePlus One. I'm considering trying out Franco kernel, but I've never used a custom kernel before. How will this effect me when it comes time to update PA on my device? Will I just get the OTA update and then re-install the custom kernel? Or is it more complex than that?

[Xperia Z2 General] cr0wnest:
Here we go again.. I just sent out an email to Sony Singapore about how water droplets suddenly appeared under my camera lens and LED flash, and I can already guess they'll accuse me of not closing my flaps and how its all my fault..etc even though its obvious enough (due to the fact my SIM, USB port, and sdcard are perfectly working) and the whole phone works fine other wise.

So instead of having to bring it all the way down to Sony only to leave with a bad experience because they'll probably insist it was my fault instead of acknowledging a factory defect or flaw in their design, are there any possible solutions to rid of the water? I just tried the 4K video recording while opening the flaps and letting the phone heat up. While the phone does get extremely hot the water underneath doesnt seem to get any lesser the least bit.

Tonight I'm gonna try leaving all flaps open overnight in my air conditioned room where its dry and hopefully see improvements. If not, for all your victims out there, how long does it take for the water under the lens to completely dry up? And what the odds of it happening again?
[Xperia Z2 General] Jackos:
I talked to guys in my region that sent their Z2 for warranty repair with similar problems and Sony replaced (or repaired) their devices under warranty without any problems.
[Xperia Z2 General] cr0wnest:
Lucky them. Perhaps it even depends on the specific store/service center you go to. I've heard countless people saying how Sony kept insisting they never ensured the flaps were closed, or how such "water damage" is not covered by warranty and therefore will not be entertained unless they are willing to pay for repairs. This usually results in frustration of the customers because there's really no way to prove to Sony that the flaps were closed in the first place. Bottomline: Sony's customer service sucks.

I'll wait for their reply and see how it all plays out. To be honest I'll be quite surprised if they agree to repair or replace my device just like that without much trouble.
[Xperia Z2 General] Jackos:
Yes, I totally agree. But I'd insist Sony repair my device for free, you're legit after all. You could try to send the device for a water leakage test, Sony claimed to do it for free per users request.
[Xperia Z2 General] cr0wnest:
Thats good, so my only worrying part is will they find anything wrong during the leakage test. If they dont, then im screwed. Because for the most part, the entire phone including the camera is working perfectly normal, in fact I didnt even know I had water under the lens until i happened to look at it. Thats why my guesses are the leakage came from the lens not being a perfect seal on the body, and that has nothing to do with the flaps. If sony's leakage test also includes the sealant of the lens and flash then I should be safe.
[Xperia Z2 General] Jackos:
Yes, I'm sure they test the whole device under water.
[Xperia Z2 General] DrearierJester1:
Theres a small colored paper inside our Z2 that determines if the phone came from water damage. That small sheet changes color if its really a water damage.
[Xperia Z2 General] cr0wnest:
Day 2 and im happy to report the LED flash water has dried up overnight, but the lens has quite a lot more by the time I woke up this morning. Its now night and about half of the droplets behind the lens has already disappeared. I just left my flaps open and elevated the phone in such a way where by the camera portion has enough breathing room. Looks like I wont have to go back to Sony. :)

Anyway, this was the reply I got from them this morning in case anyone was wondering. Kind of expected this sort of response.
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/help/camera-waterdamaged-t2598648
[Xperia Z2 General] Jackos:
Water damage due to user error is not covered under warranty, however water leakage with flaps closed is. They will test the device in lab and it will be replaced under warranty if it's not sealed properly.
[Xperia Z2 General] cr0wnest:
Its dried up completely, pictures all came out ok. No need to go down to Sony anymore, phew!
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
told ya ;)

glad it worked out!
[Xperia Z2 General] BuLLHACK:
I have experienced the same problem and my Z2 is not fully dry yet! I'm sure I've closed everything before putting it in cold water while it was so hot outside, at first when I saw the water drops inside camera I thought it was a problem! I left it open overnight too and I've got the same result! The water was still there! In fact, this is caused by the air inside the phone as Air contains water. When air or water around the phone containing cold substance, comes in contact with the phone, it gets condense and this is forming water droplets on it.
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
Yeah... it takes 1-3 days to fully dry.

Putting it in a bowle of dry rice might help.
[Xperia Z2 General] Mohsin Chäţthax:
You know that girls use hair dryer to dry their hairs. You can also use hair dryer. Just blow hair dryer on the camera and in moments moisture inside camera will disappear. You must take care not to blow dryer for too long. I hope this will solve your problem, as it solves mine.
[Xperia Z2 General] tOrNadO™:
Don't use hairdryer and stuff.. It will only affect more to your device. Put it in a bag of rice, submerge the phone with all your flaps open. Don't put it too under, just the surface. Do this for atleast 2-3 days. Or just in the night when you sleep. It will suck all the moisture and your camera will be fine. Foggy lens is an issue of water entering the phone's camera through a hole either from headphone jack or microphone hole in the top. Your phone might not be waterproof anymore. So be careful about that. Better give it to Service center and get it fixed if your phone is under warranty..
[Xperia Z2 General] _mysiak_:
I have experienced the same issue. I believe that it's simple physics - when you submerge humid air trapped in the case suddenly into cool water, vapor condensates on cool surface - in this case camera lens. It might take a while to disappear again. My solution was to put phone on something warm (tv set-top-box) with camera facing down and flaps open to vaporize the condensation, then left phone in room temperature with flaps open for few hours. Users with hot and humid air might be more prone to this issue than those in cold and dry environment.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PasDeDeux:
Hi everyone,

I'm now rather paranoid after my last phone died during what should've been a safe operation (RUU flash).

My phone was rooted and unlocked (done via adb and fastboot this time, no toolkits), running stock 2.22.531.5. Had TWRP installed for recovery. OTA got pushed, tried it and obviously that failed because our phones will only update w/ stock recovery.

Waited until I had some time (this morning). Downloaded stock 2.22.231.5 recovery, placed in my Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder (latest version, downloaded only a week or two ago).

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery (filename)
(worked?)
fastboot reboot
adb reboot recovery

Phone in the middle of the screen with a red exclamation mark in a triangle. Wouldn't shut down holding power, did restart back into the stock ROM using Vol + and Power.

Oh, I forgot to erase cache (per FAQ)!

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase cache
(did you mean to format this partition? Otherwise worked)
fastboot reboot
adb reboot recovery

Same problem.

What am I missing? Should I flash TWRP and try to flash the stock recovery again? Should I just try to flash stock recovery again? I broke my last phone trying to flash things that weren't flashing right multiple times...

Thanks for the help!

PDD

edit: Double-checked the md5 on the stock recovery that I was trying to flash, it checks out.

edit 2: Sorry if this is a common question. I've tried googling all the combinations of red exclamation phone bootloader recovery I can, but it's all completely irrelevant hits.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Phone with a triangle and an upside down exclamation mark in it... That's stock recovery. Hold Volume Up and TAP (TAP don't HOLD) the power button. That'll take you into stock recovery menu.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PasDeDeux:
Haha, thank you, adb wasn't recognizing the phone the first time so I didn't realize that I was in stock recovery. The exclamation is right-side-up, but that's not really super important. Thanks again!

Just in case you happen to know... I don't need to do anything else to apply the OTA do I? I see some people reflashing stock RUU over their stock ROM or people trying to relock bootloader, but that seems like overkill?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
I also always thought that you need to lock bootloader if you're S-ON but it seems not to be the case. You just need to be stock ROM and stock recovery.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PasDeDeux:
Thanks again for the help! I'm S-ON, but I guess I'll give it a go and see what happens, haha.

[T-Mobile LG G3] chillsen:
I have some questions regarding my process of switching over and also some basic questions:

I am receiving my T-mob sim card tomorrow

I have backed up my apps only via Titanium Backup. Do i need to back up system files too or will apps only back up suffice?

Will the new sim card automatically update all APNs or do I have to manually change it to get LTE?

Will I be receiving Android & G3 software updates automatically still?

If there are cool T-mobile apps, how will i get them on my phone?

Is it safe to delete everything AT&T related off of my phone?

Thanks in advance, I was happy to find that after unlock, my AT&T variant will work with T-mobile.
[T-Mobile LG G3] remydlc:
Im affraid LTE wont work for you unless you have an unlocked phone. Originally factory unlocked. Their LTE bands are different, so you will be stuck to "3G". I know, it sucks.

If it is not a carrier locked phone, then just reboot it with the sim on and it shoudl pick up the right LTE config. TiBu restore/backup wont be needed it if you are using the same phone. ATT apps, some of them wont work. Dont have to install any Tmo apps, i would only do "Visual Voicemail.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Toneman07:
Not sure why you would want the tmob bloat-ware. It should be installable through the playstore though. AT&T stuff can be frozen/deleted. I believe it was mentioned before that deleting it doesn't actually free up any space so it doesn't matter. To my understanding you should be able to throw in the sim card and it should work.

I am not sure what you are asking about backing up the apps. Swapping the simcard shouldn't require any app back ups.
[T-Mobile LG G3] chillsen:
Thanks so much. Yes there is someone on ebay unlocking phones for less than 2 dollars, amazing deal compared to websites that charge you 50! So I got it carrier unlocked. and i don't know why i backed it up, you're right!

Lastly do you know anything about getting software updates after I join T-Mobile? :confused:
[T-Mobile LG G3] qbanlinxx:
I wouldn't do any carrier updates if the phone is the att variant.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Swizzle82:
I don't know if I trust a 2 dollar sim unlock off eBay, especially an att phone. Att are d!cks about unlocking their phones. Juat fyi.
[T-Mobile LG G3] chillsen:
It worked. They email you the unlock code within minutes and you unlock it yourself. It was very simple
[T-Mobile LG G3] Toneman07:
I would avoid updates. OTA updates are device specific. Being on the carrier now does not change your device.
[T-Mobile LG G3] remydlc:
im not sure if ATT will push you their updates. If they do, and you are not rooted, you can update it. If you are rooted, you need to install ROMs that are on the AT&T forum, if you can ever do that. I knwo some of them have a locked bootloader. Keep thinking of it as a ATT phone even if you are on another network. Good thing though is you can now sell it for higher value should you want to switch to a tmo phone. I'd recommend that since you will get full LTE.
[T-Mobile LG G3] chillsen:
This is the best answer. Thank you very much.

I wonder if there is any confirmation that I will continue getting updates from AT&T. If so, I guess I'll have to unroot which sucks since I will lose my precious G3 Tweakbox. Would manually inputting APN not unlock full LTE speed? Not familiar with APN other than for correcting text messaging app problems.
[T-Mobile LG G3] bkeaver:
If he isn't unlocked he won't get anything 3g or other wise. If he is unlocked ( if at&t won't unlock it imei-unlocked costs 6 bucks) he will get 4g/lte.
[T-Mobile LG G3] remydlc:
No. It is locked at the hardware level. They are talking that one day they will be able to, but i dont think anytime soon. IMO, trade yoru phone, you will only suffer whenever you are outside and the internet loads slow. or do speed test and see if you are in a area where both LTE bands are the same. who knows, might be good.
[T-Mobile LG G3] bkeaver:
Again if he unlocks it he will get LTE just fine. I have both variants d850 and d851 and the d850 unlocked works just fine on T-Mobile

And the poster above me is correct that you wont receive os updates from at&T while a tmobile sim is in it
[T-Mobile LG G3] chillsen:
[MENTION=377737]bkeaver[/MENTION] is right, I just got the SIM card delivered and I updated the data/text APN from:

http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2090#android

and I am in DC and getting great LTE speeds. First time unlocking a locked phone (less than $2 from an ebay guy, instead of $20-50 from those unlocking websites), and switching carriers. It was a great experience to learn from.

LTE T-Mobile speed from unlocked AT&T G3 variant:

Last question, maybe [MENTION=377737]bkeaver[/MENTION] can help me:

Will I continue to get updates from AT&T for LG and Android software updates? OR will i start getting notifications from T-mobile bc I just joined their carrier? :confused:
[T-Mobile LG G3] aaanadie:
No, you will not receive any AT&T update having T-Mobile APN and Simcard.
[T-Mobile LG G3] bkeaver:
Aaanadie is correct. Your phone isnt on AT&T anymore so it will not receive the updates. Now what you might be able to do is grab the ota from someone and load it that way manually but it wont otherwise be able to on its own

Likewise with the T-Mobile updates. Their network wont recognize your device as a valid device to push updates to and i really would not advise you to try to load those updates manually. Only updates made for your device should only be loaded on your device. Make sense?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Itaintrite:
I got mine unlocked via the $2 eBay auction. Nothing to worry about, got code almost instantly.
[T-Mobile LG G3] chillsen:
perfect. basically flash the OTAs after someone uploads them for AT&T since mine is an AT&T variant... or unlock bootloader and flash some roms!:good:
[T-Mobile LG G3] Mikessv:
That's incorrect, I ran an At&t S3 on tmo and had really fast lte. As long as you have the phone sim unlocked and the correct lte apn for tmo, you'll be fine.
