[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jake_canter:
Okay, so I was planning to install CloudyG3 on my VS985 anddddd, I f**ked up. Anyways, long story short the phone starts up, and when it gets to the LG screen, big letters show up saying "Boot Failure." I haven't found this problem anywhere else, so I'm kinda getting worried. Anyone know what to do?

EDIT:

Basically I installed the wrong ROM. When I tried to boot into recovery, the phone went back into a bootloop of "Boot Failure" screens. When I tried download mode to flash the stock ROM, it failed in LG Flash Tool because the program saw my phone as a VS980 instead of a VS985!

Whenever I install any apps on google play it locks up my phone.

This happened since the new "material design" google play came out.

Theme installs completely lock up my phone till the point I have to pull the battery out!

I have CM 11 M8. I attatched the build info to the thread.

I can't reload the rom and reset because I would loose too much and it takes 4 hours to put everything back on.

I have noticed that when I change the screen orientation from the

screen settings

to landscape right or left for example, things work well.

However, when I turn the device off and in again, the screen returns to the default "Portrait"!

Is this normal? I mean what is the use of this feature then? If I need to make the screen orientation to my liking, why should it return to default?

A bug isn't it?

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Fulbring:
So my question in in the title. Will I need to activate this phone with a Verizon sim to make it work in Canada or I can just import one and put in my SIM that is compatible with the phone and it will work?

I'm sorry for the noobiness of this post but I haven't imported a phone before and I have read a lot of hate regarding Verizon so I just want to confirm before I buy this phone. Also I want to avoid getting a 6" phone if I can....

Thanks!

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicdamon1001:
Ok thanks for sharing your information I appreciate all the help.. T mobile service is very extremely limited where I work (around farm land).. at my home I get very good signal so I want to have a phone that gets great coverage in both areas. I thought of cricket since it uses att wireless towers and is 4g LTE with 10gb Data and unlimited everything else for $60 a month. Does anyone have Cricket using a note 3 or 4 ..I was just wondering about Signal strength and tested Data speeds
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicdamon1001:
Got you Unique so even though I have to pay more for the ATT wireless version it may be my easiest route. I should not have to unlock it for all the services to work. I chatted with Cricket help desk and they stated that I would need to still have an unlocked phone even if it came from Att wireless.. but that seemed odd to me since they should almost be using the same signal bands as ATT wireless... Thanks for the reply @ Unique

Greetings! Im new to the rooting scene and i have a rooted note 3 on 4.3. I would like to know if it is better to install the ota update then root again or just flash a new rom that is kitkat already.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
You cannot OTA update since you have rooted. You can only download stock firmware and flash via Odin. And yes, you have to root again, also via Odin.

A new (custom) rom is another option, I have no idea with it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gerdo R:
For the time being, I would browse the Note 3 Android Development forum and see if a custom ROM is what you want. If it is, then by all means go ahead and flash one. If not, then upgrading to 4.4.2 and rooting is the best bet. Personally, I was on stock 4.4.2 rooted, and it didn't take long for me to flash a custom ROM. I'm on my third custom ROM in a month, so it can definitely get addicting. ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlonicolas:
You can update via OTA.

Thereafter, flash the old kernel xxund3.

root via towel root, and reflash the Kernel that came with the OTA update.

All via Odin. I don't think there's any way to do it, yet, and at the same time keeping knox 0x0.

[Security Discussion] dbsev:
I've been using Lollipop's Smart Unlock with my Gnex and Moto 360. Works great but it appears that it locks down the device on the basis of the connection state rather than using the signal strength of the Bluetooth connection to gauge the proximity of your trusted devices. Perhaps it does use the latter, I'm not sure. Is there any literature as to how this works?
[Security Discussion] degg:
Yes, it seems to be the connection state. I don't have any bluetooth devices that can be permanently connected to my Nexus 7, so it is a bit useless and IMHO misdesigned.

I had bluetooth proximity authentication working on Linux with a modified version of pam_blue, and it just required my paired phone to be nearby, not connected. I don't know if it is possible to spoof bluetooth MAC addresses, but if so then I can't see how making the actual connection would help.

Smart Lock with NFC seems to not work at all, face unlock does not work well for me, and apps like Skiplock are not allowed to work with Lollipop, so I am a bit disappointed.

Not necessarily, devs have L running on my Opt G using KK sources. Galaxy Nexus also has L despite Google stopping support awhile ago. Anyway, my point is that it's not impossible to use the G2's KK source for L. (Also the devices I mentioned do not have 5.0 kernel base)

[General Questions and Answers] NoSpamDan:
Sounds like it's looking for an MD5 hash file. See if your recovery has an option to use signatures or not, and if so, turn it off and try again.

I'd try a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM if that doesn't work.
[General Questions and Answers] TheOMFG:
It has no option to turn off signature checking what so ever :/
[General Questions and Answers] NoSpamDan:
Then flash a custom recovery or use ODIN to push one to the phone.

You should NOT lose root when performing a /factory reset or wiping /data!

I saw your other thread here: http://xdaforums.com/general/help/help-assistance-laime-l2-t2923989

If that doesn't work, then get ODIN and get the factory firmware for your device from the manufacturer and use ODIN to push that to your phone. Then start over with root, recovery and flash the compatible ROM of your choice.
[General Questions and Answers] TheOMFG:
How do I go about creating a custom recovery from a stock rom, also the company who sold me this phone (eachdesk) on ebay said the manafacturer doesn't have the rom

(Which is bs, how the F are they churning out phones without a working OS :S ? LOL!)

So I'm back to either FLASHING A CUSTOM RECOVERY USING RECOVERY or DOWNGRADING MY RECOVERY TO <2e> to bypass verification checks

How do I go about doing this as the phone is a fairly new release on the "Laime" line (I believe), so it would have never of come with <2e>.

ANY HELP APPRECIATED!!!
[General Questions and Answers] NoSpamDan:
You're not going to be able to "create" a custom recovery from a stock ROM. Custom recoveries may include the device's stock kernel, but are independently located on their own partition in the device storage. The ROM is separate. You would need you ROM's source to compile a recovery.

You need the factory firmware for your device, from the manufacturer. But you don't have that (yet)...

So you are best off trying to find a custom recovery built for your phone that will skip the checks and allow you to make Nandroid backups. This will also let you flash whatever compatible ROM you want on your phone.

You would be best served by getting the manufacturer info from the eBay retailer and getting the info/files/ROM yourself. I wouldn't go by what the retailer said, since, as you already indicated, the phone clearly comes preloaded with a ROM.

Good luck man! Google is your friend!

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnathanamber:
Hey everyone,

I am wanting to encrypt my D6616. So, a couple of questions:

If I encrypt the phone without the SD card, can I encrypt the SD card later?

If I encrypt the device, can I decrypt it?

Lastly, if you know your PIN, can you recover from a factory reset on your SD card?

Thanks everyone,

Johnathan
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danw_oz:
1. I am pretty sure, Yes

2. Yes, but during startup, so it would pay to copy the contents to a computer if you wish to remove encryption. then you have to factory reset.

If you go through the process, it will advise you just prior to starting the encryption
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnathanamber:
[MENTION=4169899]danw_oz[/MENTION],

Thanks for the reply.

I assume that decrypting wouldn't require any external intervention... i.e. there are menu prompts under Security that will do it as opposed to using the shell, etc.

Thanks again,

Johnathan
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danw_oz:
Have a read of this http://www.howtogeek.com/141953/how-to-encrypt-your-android-phone-and-why-you-might-want-to/
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnathanamber:
[MENTION=4169899]danw_oz[/MENTION],

According to the article you've provided, there is no decryption, unlike what you've informed:

"Encryption is One-Way Only: After encrypting your device’s storage, you can only disable encryption by resetting your phone to its factory default settings. This will also erase all the data stored on your phone, so you’ll have to set it up from scratch."

If your Z3/Z3C is encrypted... do you have a decrypt option now?

Thanks.

Johnathan
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnathanamber:
Evidently the process isn't reversible... at least during the encryption process, it informs before confirming that it is irreversible.

Thanks for the help,

Johnathan
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danw_oz:
The decryption occurs during entering of your pin or password, at which time you would need to copy anything you want to keep off the phone onto a computer.

---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 PM ----------

To be honest there is no real benefit of this over just locking your phone, because if you loose your phone it can still be hacked until it is rebooted. If you have find my xperia, you can erase the phone which I am sure includes the SD Card
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnathanamber:
I understand your reply. The data has to be decrypted before it can be used by the phone and other apps, etc, this only makes logical sense to use decrypted data. since it can't used encrypted data.

I suppose I should have been more clear in my original posting. Once a phone has been encrypted, can the encryption be removed to use the data in its decrypted form? i.e. if I encrypt my SD card, decrypt it, remove it, then place it elsewhere to be used in other devices... the answer is no. Once encrypted, the encryption can't be removed to allow the card to be used elsewhere.... without losing all of the data.

Sorry for the miscommunication.

Thanks,

Johnathan
[AT&T LG G3] 4ndroid99:
So I have tried out pretty much all the roms available for the D850 at the moment, including the aosp ones, and they all have the oversharpening effect.

So even with a custom kernel on the aosp rom, the sharpening effect is still there. It appears as if the sharpening is baked right into the display itself (I really hope I'm wrong).

Damnit LG, y u do dis?
[AT&T LG G3] Misterowl:
OMMg no Wey like im not experiencing this issue and that everyone who says this really has a problem with their phones and can't be satisfied with anything. An issue like this doesn't actually exist at all O.o !!! Omgg haha Y u do dis

XDA has a built in market place where you can sell your phone if you're not satisfied with it, it's located above this webpage (Swappa) or

here at http://swappa.com/ .
[AT&T LG G3] 4ndroid99:
Haha no.

The over sharpening is a known occurence, noted by many users here on XDA. LG purposely done it to strengthen the 2k experience, but it's clearly backfiring. Simply because you haven't noticed it doesn't negate the problem.

It's not a deal breaker or anything, but I was really hoping a custom ROM and kernel might take care of the problem.
[AT&T LG G3] Misterowl:
It's not going to be fixed because it doesn't exist. It would've gone away if it was aosp Rom If it was apparent in a stock Rom. People aren't used to these quad hd screens and it's hilarious. My bottle of conditioner over softens, what will I ever do about. Maybe I just need a cheaper bottle.

Lol you condition your hair .... ;) I do my beard as well..... Alright let's not get out of hand here on our beloved XDA .. I sometimes sound like a jerk but everyone is entitled to an opinion whether its non existing or very much visable. Let's be friends here and help each other out. But I dont think the over sharpening thing that people are talking about can be fixed by anything ... The screen is the screen plain and simple ... I may be wrong but I honestly could care less ... I changed my font to roboto and I really don't see anything people are complaining about. My eyes get all jacked up sometimes but its more then likely from actually staring at the screen for long periods of time .. Not over sharpening. Good luck in both of your quests :thumbup:

2SHAYNEZ
[AT&T LG G3] mcnick0495:
I don't see any over sharpening on mine, and I'm on stock.

I think it's also because you may not be used to the 2k screen with such high pixel density, considering it's not a ROM that's causing it to look that way (at least to you)
[AT&T LG G3] mosincredible:
I notice it easily when I try to use Lux and go below 0% brightness. There are a lot of factors that go into making it easier to see. Certain fonts of certain colors on certain backgrounds. Some people won't be able to see it at all, some can see it but aren't often in the scenario it'll be apparent and others use an app, font or color combination that'll cause them to see it all the time so it'll bother them everyday. I'm assuming OP is the latter scenario. I'm scenario #2. It wasn't enough to upset me but if a fix comes by, I'll definitely apply it.
[AT&T LG G3] shayneflashindaily:
Why would you go below 0%

[AT&T LG G3] Misterowl:
Only through true darkness can we be enlightened later on.
[AT&T LG G3] mosincredible:
When using the phone in pure darkness, below 0 is needed to reach the same level as 0 on some other phones such as the iPhone or the Note 4. Phone Arena was able to measure the nits and this phone puts out a 9 on minimum brightness while the iPhone does 7, S5 does 2 and the Note 4 does 1. My eyes are pretty sensitive to light and I like to have my phone as dim as possible at night.
[AT&T LG G3] GroovyGeek:
OMG this is so much like the pixel peeping debate in the DSLR community. Instead of just using the camera, people spend their time looking at images of brick walls and trust patterns at 200% for the sole purpose of finding shortcomings of their lens and camera. Some people here worry that when they view their phone "with certain fonts and backgrounds at below 0% brightness in total darkness" they can see a minor nit. To each his own I guess. I just use the phone.
