[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackler:
I originally posted this in general and then saw the sticky saying your not supposed to post questions there. Sorry for the double post.

I'm selling my G2 on ebay. It sold. I rebooted to TWRP and did a wipe on everything, including the internal storage, so I could follow WALTCOs guide to uproot and flash stock. Now when it reboots, all that comes up is the LG flash, but no bootloader, nothing. I can only assume that I wiped the rom, recovery, and EVER THING off the phone.

I'm a little terrified. Did I brick it? Is there anything I can do at this point?

Can you get into download mode?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobydoo99:
I had a similar problem a couple of days ago - but while the phone was connected to the laptop I noticed that by holding the power and volume up button I could get the phone into the download mode -(the LG logo appears but keep holding the buttons down and hopefully download mode will appear) I then followed the instructions in the below thread and return it to stock - lost root but still has TWRP.

Hmm...holding power and volume up, it says download mode started and flashes to a dog window saying fast boot started. Is this download mode? When I connect it to my computer, lg flash tool can't read the phone info, mentions the port. I checked in device manager and it's listed as an ADB device but I can't see orly change the port.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nihnos:
If you're in fastboot then download mode failed to load.

fastboot is an interface which is somewhat similar to adb.

You can try flashing working images to your phone through it to fix download mode.

It's pretty easy to brick your phone like that though so be careful.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedthehumanoid:
any luck getting it to work? i don't hold down the power button on my phone to do this. turn the phone all the way off. hold down the power until after the the brief flash off the splash screen logo. that way, it is all the way off and not rebooting. now, hold down the volume up button only, then plug in the usb cable. that should do it.
[Moto 360] haplo164:
I picked up the 360 before lollipop was released. On KitKat the clock app alarm notifications were being pushed to my watch, on lollipop however I only get them on my phone. This could probably be solved by installing a different clock app. But they tend to be unreliable and I don't think I should have to. Does anyone know a way to restore that functionality without a separate app?

Also I'm on a rooted nexus 6 coming from a note 3 running CM11.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landshark68:
Are you sure the update notification you received is for lollipop? The S5 just received an update to the NK2 build last week. That update was still 4.4.4 kit Kat and not lollipop. I'd be shocked if this phone got updates this quickly back to back. If you haven't yet received the NK2 update, that is probably the notification you are receiving.

And if it is the NK2 update, it would appear you can root out using the same method for rooting NI2.

s line case, Nillkin Amazing Armor Bumper,Samsung protective cover+

http://youtu.be/94QtQB9x2CE?list=UUACeOFuBKLUX5JzaYFqAwWQ
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mikespe:
Thanks for the reviews...in regard to the Nillkin case/bumper...I only found sellers in China on eBay...you know of any US sellers or Amazon sellers? I checked both but didn't find anything...thanks!!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] magichoward:
Yes your correct I purchased it from a China supplier via eBay. It took a couple of weeks to arrive but overall good value for money.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] samep:
I have two of the 3 main cases reviewed in same colors. The Samsung protective case fits better than the Nillkin. The Nillkin required some excess removal around the USB and mics to fit without slightly pulling away from bezel near the home button and allowing light to peak through the USB port. The fit here is much better on the Samsung case.

The lack of side grip is actually worse and more like the Verus Thor case, the Samsung protective case gets more slippery when cold than the Nillkin case. The Nillkin despite its smooth sides doesn't lose as much grip when cold.

Also, the Nillkin case fits the headphone jack better IMO because it covers all the chamfered edges. Once I fitted the USB port, I could say that I prefer its fit around the USB port better for the same reason but there is some concern about the fit near the mics. The Samsung case fits the mics perfectly and tight and even accommodates the Verizon spacing here. My modification on the Nillkin is not precise so I think the Samsung case may actually sound better on a call.

The review mentions the Nillkin is easy on, easy off; exactly, but it appears the Samsung case is harder to remove than even the Verus Thor despite looking and feeling quite similar around the bezel lip. The Samsung case feels as if it needs to stretch to come off but less cooperative at doing so when cold.

Others have said the Nillkin is compatible with the OEM wireless charger cover. If so, the case may appeal to both the wireless chargers and frequent battery replacement users.

I may try the S curve case but would like to know if it covers the chamfered edges as nice as the Nillkin but also fits the mics as perfectly as the Samsung protective case+?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jayochs:
damn that sucks about the Samsung case.. amazon is full of 5 star reviews so I got it.. and now I'm reading it sucks. and i spent 20 bucks on that stupid thing. damnit. oh well it comes Monday so we'll see. I'm using the diztronic now and it's nice, but i agree with him that the s line case is great. I've got the same one, but it doesn't fit as well as it should around the bottom lip of rhe phone, and the cutouts don't match the Verizon one. also, there's no raised edge around the camera and i don't like that since I place my phone down on its back.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] samep:
There must not be a perfect case out there at the moment. What disappoints me about the Samsung protective case+ is the cold grip and ease of removal. Your results may differ; hoping warmer weather improves the ease of removal. I do think the warmer weather grip is good. We've had a warm day and a cold day since the case arrived. The fit is as nice as the Verus Thor.

To be fair on the grip gripes, I have small hands and suffer from dry skin in colder environments. Both tend to make these cases cold, hard and slippery.

Thanks for the commentary on the S Line case.

The cases compromise one thing or another. For now, I can deal with the lack of grip of the Samsung case because it's minimal. Don't get bummed until you try it yourself.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jayochs:
I got the Samsung, and i have no problem with grip issues. probably bc i used the diztronic for like 3 weeks.. and the sides of that are slippery too. this to me is decent enough grip. I actually love this Samsung case. it's thin. feels better than the diztronic. really keeps the phone shape the same. I got the blue and it looks so cool
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] samep:
I thought I was going to buy the Tech 21 Tactical Impact in matte black today. T-mobile only had the mesh in purple; I tried the fit on my phone and hate the exposed chamfered edges near the headphone jack. Also lacks the raised camera lip. Disappointing. The salesman said the black matte case, which they didn't have ATM, would be identical in fit. Deal breaker for my pursuit of a better case. The Nillkin Armor bumper case and Samsung are the better cases, for me. The Verus Thor is third for me.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] magichoward:
Next week I should recieve e.grips which I plan to stick on the Samsung case.

It's amazing that we can't find a great slim case with a good grip.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] demontefixo:
I have to agree with Izz. but you might try leaving the card in the phone and using the "explore my phone" option in ActiveSync to copy the info you want to your computer. Stick the new card in your phone and move the info back.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mfrazzz:
Put WM5torage on your phone and the SD card will then look like a thumbdrive to your computer. You can then copy stuff around without activesync getting involved (which seems to have issues with large amounts of data transfer).

No, it's not necessary to completely "drain" the battery. Just connect it to the charger whenever you need, the phone's firmware will manage the rest.

well it looks like the software version of playstore and background playsetting is not updated kindly update and the problem would be solved, remember to clear the cache after the update and then run the app, Beside Playstore is not very good for your device, I would personally suggest using some other sideloading method for fetching apps from the internet then using playstore.

NOOB ALERT!

I have an international HTC amaze (unbranded/no carrier). I'm on gb 2.3.5 and have boot loader unlocked, 4ext recovery flashed and SU zip flashed (rooted). I'm s-on and has not done those supercid stuff. I once flashed a jb rom it booted and as soon as I touch the screen at the configuration wizard that shows up after first time boot it restarts. This happens 2-3 times then it just gets stuck in bootloop (HTC logo then blank screen then HTC logo and so on). I want to upgrade to latest available android version (either with stock or custom rom+no HTC sense -_-) and over clock the cpu(i have not flashed any kernel yet). Also, I was under the impression that I cannot flash any rom or kernel without s-off +supercid so I've been using my amaze on stock rom +4ext recovery and root.

gb to jb

Glad you got it working.

You CANNOT move from gb to jb without installing ICS--period.

If you want to stay gb then find a launcher at google play store to make it look pretty, and find an alternative to overclock your cpu since you are rooted.

Bear in mind that overclocking your cpu is DANGEROUS.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Arsi94:
ok so i want to move to JB. I will have to follow the GB to ICS guide. In that guide one of the steps is to get S-off. I open the juppunutbear S-off page and one of the requirement is to have a 'stock rom' (not fresh rom, not harmony rom, not STOCK ROOTED) but my device IS stock rooted. If I continue with the procedure to S-off, will i brick my phone? Or should I unroot my device first then do S-off? and then follow the remaining steps on the GB to ICS guide and then I will be able to flash JB custom roms?

Thanks alot.
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
stock rooted

It would be wisest to follow their directions EXACTLY. It's simple to re-root your phone once you've un-rooted it, and it is the way to get to JB which is what you want. Thousands of us have done it exactly that way and it worked.

Once you've gone from GB to ICS, find the radio update and apply it before re-rooting or anything else--see this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2219637

Bear in mind that NO JB ROM has a perfectly functioning camera. They may do 720p depending, but not 1080--at least not cleanly. There may also be speakerphone volume issues--I don't recall exactly. Check the threads to find which will perform as you like.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Arsi94:

[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
take your time

The link that says "ChevyCowboyUSA" is the radio--the link with from #7 in the guide is hboot.

Follow all the steps in the guide--I think that once you've flashed the stock ruu, it will revert your recovery to stock recovery and that is why you will need to flash it again.

Keep your phone unlock code handy, because I think you will need it again after flashing hboot--I'm not certain, but it will be best to have it.

Once you've flashed the ICS ruu followed by the hboot (as presented in the guide), then you can flash the radio according to the instructions in the radio post. After that you can unlock/custom recovery/whatever to flash custom roms and the radio will already be updated, as will the ability to flash ICS/JB.
