[T-Mobile LG G3] Drake Maijstral:
I recently picked up a D851 (TMobile). I rooted it, but did not replace the ROM or install a custom bootloader.

Last weekend, the phone started randomly rebooting. Watching logcat via adb showed me several random apps throwing sig11s, after which the phone would give up and reboot. Cycle repeats.

This looks like a hardware issue, as the apps that crash change on each boot cycle.

I arranged with TMobile to swap the device, but they cautioned me that the phone must be returned to an unrooted state.

I've had a hell of a time with it from here. My first try was to install the LG drivers and the PC Suite under a Windows VM, as I do not run Windows at home. Enabling USB passthrough for the phone to the VM let Windows see the phone, but the LG drivers would invariably fail with 'Device cannot start. Code 10.'. Likewise, the PC Suite couldn't find the phone.

Next step was to throw together some spare hw and install Windows 7 on that (a desparate move, to be certain. :) ). The LG drivers can now recognize the phone, so that's a definite plus. The LG PC Suite, though, claimed that my phone could not be upgraded. Wonderful.

Next step was to try this tutorial: http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants.html . I was able to get further with this method, but as it begins to flash SYSTEM, it pauses, and then dies with 'We can't communicate with Phone'. End result - I now have a soft bricked phone. On the phone, I see the port - COM41 - appear, and the usb animation starts to spin ... and after a few seconds, stops. It's at this point that Flashtool throws the Can't Connect error.

I next tried following this tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2785089 to flash a KDZ. The newer LG Flash tool used here can't create a connection to my phone for flashing.

I've run into a wall here. Any ideas on where to go next? I need to reset this phone back to a working stock state so that I can send it back.

Use this and follow video carefully. Has worked many times. Use all his links not what you have downloaded.

NOTE 4
[T-Mobile LG G3] etawful:
Also - as silly as it sounds, make certain you're using the USB cable that came with the phone. This has solved problems for a lot of people when trying to revert to stock.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Drake Maijstral:
I wasn't initially, but I did switch to it last night. Still no go.

I suspect it's either the phone itself (see above: re suspected hw failure), or the PC in question (nVidia chipset on this old motherboard, and I've had more than a few problems with adb talking to phones on nVidia motherboards). I'm going to try Bacardilimon's suggestion tonight, on a PC that has *nothing* nVidia-related in it, before I throw in the towel. As it is, the failing phone needs to be back to TMO by the middle of next week, so I'm all but out of time to resolve this.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Toneman07:
There is a link in the general thread on how to return to stock including a method using twrp. It's a sticky thread at the top I've never done the twrp method myself but it can more than likely be done without a computer. Twrp can be installed via Playstore if you don't already have it
[T-Mobile LG G3] Drake Maijstral:
Holy hell. That site's links are absolutely infuriating. Anyone who puts each and every download link for software referenced by a howto behind separate timed appearance links that you have to ALSO enter an annoying captcha to enable should be shot out of a cannon - or, at the very least, have their howto ignored by the rest of the world. :)

Suffice it to say, the quality of that page doesn't give me much confidence that this will work any better than what I've tried already. Since I've already wasted a crapload of time on this project, and more on following those damned links, I'll give it a try tonight, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Is the author of that page an XDA member? If so, please let me know who he is, so I can berate him personally. Thanks. :P
[T-Mobile LG G3] Drake Maijstral:
I'd consider doing that, except as I mentioned, the G3 in question disconnected during a run of Flashtool, rendering it without a working OS to boot to. The phone now boots straight to download mode. The good news is, it's now officially unrooted. The bad news is, it's also officially bricked until I can get an OS flash to work. :)
[T-Mobile LG G3] BACARDILIMON:
OK I gonna keep it real with you. You can either enter the captcha and fix the issue or throw the phone away. Yes he is a member and for every phone that is out their he has its own page doing this for us. If you can't fix your phone with his method then it not the method but you. I have used this for many bricks. It works and it works great. Sorry if he making you do a little typing but like I said u can use his method or keep trying the other methods. Good luck

NOTE 4
[T-Mobile LG G3] Drake Maijstral:
After going through the painful process of clicking his links, I found that everything I downloaded is the same thing I already had, except for Flashtool - lgg3root's is actually older. Even the TMO firmware for my phone and the dll are both exactly the same, and I checked by running md5sum on them.

But hey, it must be me. There's clearly no other technology-related cause for this issue. I obviously don't know how to follow a howto, right?

Thanks for 'keeping it real'.
[T-Mobile LG G3] BACARDILIMON:
See we agree.

NOTE 4
[T-Mobile LG G3] Drake Maijstral:
Not likely.

In any case, it failed again. The video he did gave me the exact same steps I followed elsewhere, and unsurprisingly, it failed with 'We can't communicate with Phone', after beginning the flash process. There is something else wrong here, though I'm not certain if the failing phone is at fault or the PC in question is causing the issue. To be crystal clear, the flash process starts, and then, at a random point during the flash, it completely stops, and Flashtool eventually gives up and throws the aforementioned error.

Any other ideas? If not, I'm going to have to try another PC to rule that out as the culprit. Sigh.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Toneman07:
Mine gave the same error as well as couldn't communicate with server but the flash process continued running and the phone rebooted took about 3 minutes u learned not to touch any of the popups on the screen during flash and sorry I missed the part about no OS I thought you were booting to recovery... Driving while reading not the best idea
[T-Mobile LG G3] Drake Maijstral:
Nope, the phone is definitely not doing anything - the usb animation on the G3 completely stops before Flashtool throws the error.

And damnit, quit reading while driving. You can do that later. :)
[T-Mobile LG G3] Drake Maijstral:
Moved the hdd Windows is installed on to another PC with a different chipset. After it updated drivers, I tried again. Flash proceeded partway, then died. Reset phone, Flashtool reststarted flash from scratch, flash died at 15%.

15% is interesting. While I've seen the flash die at various points, 15% is the one that was most often repeated. This tells me the failure follows the phone, not the PC - which makes sense, as the phone has a suspected RAM failure.

At this point, it appears that flashing this phone is impossible due to faulty hw. Hopefully TMO (and eventually, LG) will accept the faulty phone back with no OS, because there's no way an OS is being written to this device ever again.
[T-Mobile LG G3] yanowman:
Thank you for answering
[T-Mobile LG G3] Drake Maijstral:
No problem. There's nothing I hate more than stumbling across a thread where the OP has the same problem I have, only to find it was never updated with the solution.

Good luck man let us know what tmobile says
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmeinchina:
Hi. First of all this is not a standard "bought in China" thread.

Phone is Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250

Althought the phone was sold as new it was pre rooted with a custom ROM which I believe came from SlimRoms.

I have some experience rooting my previous phones but for some reason nothing works on this phone. I've tried CM but always fails, same with downloading ROMS direct from ClockworkMod.

I would really like to change it to run CM but to be honest any change would be welcome but its like something I've never encountered before is blocking any change.

If anyone could help me I'd be a very happy man

I've attached a screenshot from the phone showing the kernel and ROM it came with.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [sito_web]:
Hi! I think in your situation the best way for your nexus is to restore all to stock flashing the google factory image (you can find it here)

After that you can start to reunclock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery or what you prefer.

Tell me if u have some problem to flashing the factory image
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmeinchina:
Hi, thanks for the advice, I thought you were onto something but unfortunatly not. I have no idea what the seller did to this phone but its like its locked out. I can't get any computer, software or comand to recognise it. It's as if once it conects to the computer its nothing more than a USB even in bootloader it's not seen.
[HTC Droid DNA] amordesoul:
I'm running cm11 snapshot with crpalmer's kernel.

On Wifi or 4G with power save CPU profile and Batteryguru running (power saving GPS on) I get ~2 hours screen on time...2.5 on a good day.

Is that what I should expect, or is something wrong with my battery?

What's your screen on time and which ROM are you using?
[HTC Droid DNA] supertoast92:
I'm averaging about the same. Especially recently, it seems my battery performance is seriously degrading. I guess after almost two years of use, it's finally showing its signs of wear.

This is with stock kernel, M11 Snapshot build of CM 11.
[HTC Droid DNA] amordesoul:
The phone is a hand me down so it is new to me. I'm guessing from your response that if the battery wasn't 2+ years old it would be getting more screen on time? How much screen on time did would be expected from a new phone?
[HTC Droid DNA] supertoast92:
I can't really remember what I got in my phone's prime time, but, if I recall correctly, I was pushing 3:30-4 hours absolute max on a good day. Usually around 3-3:30.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Getting that much screen time is good. That for sure is nothing to complain about. On stock you can not get that much screen time. Your battery is fine.
[HTC Droid DNA] kucher5:
1.5 year old battery Craftmann (similar to stock)

CM 12.1 with stock cm's kerlel. (mpdecision)

Wifi and 1x CDMA (no 3g/EVDO/LTE).

no google services

disabled almost all with Autostarts apk.

disabled system apps like Music, Gallery, Market, Downloads, Calendar..

disabled sensors and services: location, rotation, synchronization, etc.

all 4 cpu cores are set with min 384 - max 594 MHz frequency and default governor. (with conservative governor you can receive +20min, but with little lags).

5-6 hours on-screen (less 5 hrs if reboots alot) with Opera Mini.

4-4.5 hrs. with online/offline video playing or browsing with stock browser.

i learned, that stock apps like Music are very hungry and disabling internet /mobile data between sessions makes battery life longer
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imafriend123:
Okay, I came from Verizon and from a Galaxy S4, but I don't think Verizon or T-Mobile is the thing that's causing my problem

My problem... When I send a text message AT MY HOUSE AND ONLY AT MY HOUSE the message says fails to send, but the other person receives it cause they text back even though it says my message failed on my Note 4. I had this problem with the galaxy S4, on Verizon for 2 years and it's really frustrating cause sometimes messages fails and I don't resend cause i'm thinking the message went through.

I have full service with T-Mobile, so I doubt it is a service issue. Plus, I used old phones such as Blackberry and HTC, and this problem didn't occur. So i'm guessing it's just a problem with Samsung phones.

I have used alternated / 3rd party texting apps, and that didn't solve the issue.

Anyone experience or an expert at these things think they can give me a hand with this annoying issue?

Thanks!

i Love this ROM. Most of it works, and well. Jumped from 2 to 4 in a day and theres a big difference in usability. However, Google play will not sign in. I tried the gapps provided and reinstalled with different methods with no success. Ive tried all variants i can find going back to gapps for 4.4.2.

Im going to try the hosts file trick next and report back. Any insight in the meantime would be appreciated. Thank you

Hey everyone

I have a simple question, I am currently running Trinity Vengeance RaptorX V1.3 and loving it, but I was wondering if i can unlock the bootloader while on it or do I need to go back to a proper Sony stock rom?

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FCArsenal:
I think you do not need to unlock bl unless you wanna flash custom ROMs or custom kernels. And to unlock BL I think you will need to go back to stock ROM, backup TA and then flash any custom ROM or kernel. I think I am right but anyone can please correct me if I am wrong.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolexxes:
I don't think you need to go back to original rom to unlock bootloader since when you are unlocking your bootloader your rom is not even booted!

Be sure to check out krabappel2548 thread on General forum, read instructions carefully and don't forget to backup your data!

BTW if you are enjoying Trinity Vengeance RaptorX there is no need to unlock your bootloader! Have you checked Xposed modules? Xposed is installed on RaptorX ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] breacherman:
ok, nevermind. I guess it is working, Its just charging really slow, considering samsung claims its supposed to do 50% in 30 minutes, I think this thing has doe maybe more like 10% in 30 minutes, but idk more experimentaion will tell.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Cboss:
Super fast
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] xlr8shun:
you have to use the charger that came with the phone for fast charging.

I believe fast charging stops once the screen is on? (at least the popup seems to indicate that)

I am not sure why your option is greyed out, mine isn't and my phone fast charges just fine *shrugs*
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] WizeGuyDezignz:
My understanding is that the phone has to be powered off to get the 50% in 30 minutes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] stereomind:
You do have to use the charger that came with the phone.

It will charge faster with screen off, but the phone itself does not have to be powered off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] harlenm:
I went from 15%-75% in about 45 minutes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] raiu:
That check box is unavailable when connected to the fast charger that came with the phone, mine charges about the same as my note 2 did really. It is fast but not new.

I really feel like samsung pulled a rebok with this phone and introduced a new "pump up shoe" lol when the other one was just fine.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] xxmelissaxx:
breacherman I know what you're talking about, same here! Sometimes I see the notification that fast charging is active and that was only twice, both times my phone charged super fast. But sometimes I don't get that notification and it's charging slow, I'm trying to figure out why this is happening, if I figure it out I'll let you know. And yes this is with using the charger that came with the phone

There has to be a reason that it only works sometimes..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] NYYFan02:
I think it stays on, it's just not as fast. Mine charged to 50% in probably 35 minutes while I had the screen on the whole time, so it's still pretty damn fast!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Jspex:
Fast charge option is greyed out when it's plugged in. When it's unplugged you can switch the option.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ronj1986:
Mine also charged 50% in 45 minutes. That is fast enough for me, but I know it isn't the 30 minutes that Samsung says it will do. I used the charge block that came with the phone, but a different cable. So maybe it was the cable's fault that it didn't charge 50% in 30 minutes. IDK. I do know you must use the charging block that came with the phone to achieve the fast charging because it puts out more voltage/ milliamps than other chargers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Chris277:

The same problem just occurred. AT&T just had an updated and once I updated the AC adaptive charging wont work anymore. Before It was 30 minutes to 50% and now its 2hoursish to 50%.. I think it could be a update issue. But everything was normal until the update. If anyone knows any way to fix it please let me know. The option of the fast charging is greyed out and I cant click it. Before the update it was fine. I will go to at&t later to see about this issue.
