[Sprint LG G2] EROMITLAB:
You have to go to a Boost branded store. Like it says Boost on the marquee... I think the Boost customer reps aren't clued in to that you can activate certain Sprint phones to relay that you have to go to a Boost store.

I tried calling Boost after I initially got my Sprint G2 so I didn't have to drive a ways to a Boost store and the reaction I got from the rep was like I was trying to game the system and make them preform wizardry... I went to a store and the woman there was a little envious b/c I have a white G2. She said that when they "secretly" sold the Boost G2 that each store got 3 to sell and that was that and was looking for a white one to activate. She called a number and it was activates with LTE less than ten minutes later.

The only thing I could suggest is to go to a different store and try again.[/QUOTE]

Why would I go to a boost store? I called boost mobile and although it took 2 calls the second guy had my sprint G2 up and running complete with boost boot image and bloat on less than ten minutes. I also paid twice as much for my girlfriends white G2 that was about 3 months ago. If I knew that you could use a sprint G2 on boost i would have never shelled out the $299 for her boost G2. I would have speant half of that for the sprint version as I did for myself. Both phones are identical. There is nothing that needs to be done to the phone in person to get it up and running. If they tell you that then just call back until you get someone who knows better.
[Sprint LG G2] wetbiker7:
Ok. Just to set things straight. I WAS able to activate my Sprint LG G2 over the phone today. They sent a SIM but it was the wrong one and wouldn't even register in my phone. After insisting I speak with a manager, my phone was finally able to be activated WITH DATA. Soooooo, just like Wyelkins and other members, I too was able to activate OVER THE PHONE.

If anyone tells you that you MUST take the phone to a Boost store, well that's just BS. I'm telling it like it is guys as you can see from all of my posts and the replys. Insist on speaking with a manager/supervisor. Most Boost service reps do not have the skills nor authority to activate a Sprint branded phone over to Boost.

Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. Glad you got things sorted.

No worries, bro.

Are you running a custom ROM yet? Do you have any to recommend? Thx

[Sprint LG G2] kolosus:
I'm using Stock. http://xdaforums.com/sprint-g2/development/rom-sprint-stock-zvg-light-ultra-t3100825

I like the light version. Ultra seemed to bare to me. I like having the use of quick remote. Everything just works. I cant stand using other roms and running into problems like gps not working or the IR remote not working. Too much fuss. On stock everything works and it is sufficient. I miss my SlimROM but I'll learn to live without.

Have you tried any rom that shows promise?
[Sprint LG G2] wetbiker7:
I haven't tried any new ROMs yet. Still running stock which I've debloated. I'm like you. I like having the IR remote. GPS is also a must. I've done some serious reading regarding ROMs but haven't taken the plunge yet. Thanks for the heads up on the light stock ROM. I'll give it a try.

Answered your PM too in case you didn't get the notification. :)

[Sprint LG G2] :
CM12 works great on this phone, completely debloated, and you can get the IR remote to work on it (there are some threads), and I have GPS options even though I haven't tried to see if it completely works (i will try it out one of these days, although i think i read people saying it works) Only thing is the radio antenna isn't working so nextradio won't work, I think that only works on stock atm. (hope cm will get on that some day, but not a big radio listener so no rush lol)
[Sprint LG G2] Rob_i_am:
Did anyone root their G2 after the Lollipop update with Unjustified Dev's Lg root script exe? And I need Autorec to install TWRP correct? Trying to get all my ducks in a row before I get started. I have the Root script exe, the Lg drivers, and Autorec LS980. I don't wanna have to revert back so I'm hoping the script exe worked for some of you

P.S. I'm currently still reading and doing searches. So excuse my premature questions.
[Sprint LG G2] comk4ver:
Okay, so I bought a sprint g2 phone but I don't have a sim card for either sprint or boost. Should I just call sprint to activate the phone, head down to the local seven eleven get a new boost sim then call or just go to the local boost store and have them sort it out?
[Sprint LG G2] wyelkins:
[MENTION=4214264]wetbiker7[/MENTION] can most definitely answer the last 2 posts. Send him a PM.
[Sprint LG G2] wetbiker7:
Did you buy the phone new? If you did, it has a Sprint SIM card in it and can be activated on the Boost network. Read my previous posts concerning this. If you bought it used and it has no card, you'll need to contact Boost and have them send you one.
[Sprint LG G2] comk4ver:
Yeah, I bought it used I'll head over to boost then.
[Sprint LG G2] rudygetz:
Hey wetbiker

I'm having issues that may be similar to the one(s) you were having when trying to activate your G2.

I bought a used G2 that is in perfect shape and was working on Sprint. Activating has been a headache as I keep getting network errors. Once activated I only have the ability to make/receive calls and texts. No data. I've taken my phone to the Boost store twice and talked to 4 reps over the phone so far. They have no idea what the problem is. It has an existing Sprint SIM card in it. Do I just need to ask for a manager/supervisor?

Thanks a ton.
[Sprint LG G2] wetbiker7:
You need to insist on speaking with a Boost supervisor. The only difference between yours and mine is the fact that your SIM has already been on the Sprint network. You may actually need a Boost SIM. I don't know. Just tell them you know a lot of guy's who've done this and are running Sprint phones with Sprint SIMs on Boost and 99% of them had to get a supervisor to activate their phone.
[Sprint LG G2] rudygetz:
I'm being told it's a software issue and there's NOTHING they can do. I spoke to one supervisor, and now I'm speaking to a supposed Technician. He says it's the software on my phone. He also sounds like he has no idea what he's talking about. I'm wondering if I should root it and change the modem or software.

edit: Just spoke to another rep over the phone (prob the 7th) and she thinks it's the SIM card. She says when going from Sprint to Spring or Boost to Boost you can still use data on 3g but because it's Sprint to Boost there may be an issue with data and the SIM card. I have no idea how accurate that statement is but I hope she's right. I was shipped out a SIM card on Friday.

Wetbiker, what did they actually do for you that worked? They keep asking me to input a different set of combined numbers i.e. ##721644#
[Sprint LG G2] wetbiker7:
I went through the same thing. I finally spoke with a supervisor and he activated my sprint lg g2 on the boost network with the Sprint SIM card that came with the phone new from Best Buy.

EDIT:

Hey [MENTION=654021]rudygetz[/MENTION], keep on demanding to speak with a supervisor. It took me many attempts to finally get one who could activate mine. He had to change some things in the system on his end. I also had to switch my phone to CDMA to get 3g working because I don't have LTE at my house. While on CDMA (3g) my device downloaded the Boost apps, bootscreen, and prl. You may have to let it download the Boost software over 3g in order to get your LTE working.

I got the "you need a new SIM card" BS several times. They even sent me a new SIM but it turned out to be the wrong one lol. That was when I got pissed off and told them I'd waited the whole time to get the SIM they were sending and I was running out of time to take the phone back to Best Buy if it wouldn't work. I asked if they could at least overnight my SIM. That was when the supervisor got on the phone and got me activated.

I still can't update my profile or prl. I get a network error. Thankfully the main Boost software download while on CDMA contained the correct prl.

Let me know how things go.
[Sprint LG G2] rudygetz:
I'm currently on CDMA at the suggestion of the last agent I spoke to but I still can't update my PRL or Profile as I also get a network error. Not prompts to download any Boost software yet. Thanks for checking in. I spoke to the same rep as I did yesterday who is committed to figuring this out with me but she wants me to wait until I receive that SIM card to proceed. I wonder what in the world that supervisor did on their end that the rest of that company seems clueless to.
[Sprint LG G2] wyelkins:
Mine was activated with only minor rep difficulties compared to you guys. Sprint SIM and Global network setting.

Took 5 minutes once I convinced him that it could be done.

I probably got lucky to get a decent supervisor. I did get good LTE once it activated and got 3 OTA updates immediately after activation.
[Sprint LG G2] wetbiker7:
Hopefully they'll get you fixed up. One thing's for sure.... Boost needs to train their reps better. Especially on activating Sprint devices on the BYOD list.

I'm interested to see what the SIM card card does. I can get LTE great when I have a signal. Still have the profile and prl issue though. If the SIM fixes your profile and prl then I'm going to tell Boost to send me one lol. :D
[Sprint LG G2] wyelkins:
I can update PRL and Profile. But strangely enough I didn't get any Boost apps. Boost Zone will not work either
[Sprint LG G2] wetbiker7:
Honestly bro, I'm wondering if it has anything to do with where we are located. The towers and the Sprint/Boost network are not as up to date as the ones in your area. We've only had LTE now for a few months. Also, Bakersfield which is the largest city out here hasn't had LTE for very long. LTE is even spotty in the city. It's very possible that the towers in certain areas just aren't up to date enough. It's just a thought. It's weird how we both have service with Sprint devices switched over to Boost and how different our handsets are. Once I received the Boost update I lost the GLOBAL setting along with the other Sprint options.

[Sprint LG G2] wyelkins:
You might be on to something. I wouldn't think that you would have to be on LTE for it to initialize properly, but it may be related. Of course, you can and should take the OTA over WiFi but I don't understand why you can't update PRL and Profile.
[Sprint LG G2] wetbiker7:
I've thought about TOTing back to KK, activating, then taking the lollipop update. Didn't you activate and then take the LP update?

One way out the other I'll eventually get this thing working the way it should. Honestly, other than the prl and profile update receiving a network error, everything else works great. The radio signal, 3g, and LTE work great. I even have a working hotspot now lol.

Once I get it figured out I'll make a post about out. :D

Sent from my LG-LS980
[Sprint LG G2] rudygetz:
For the record. I attempted to do this over kitkat initially. Once I got phone and text capability I wanted the look of lollipop so I updated OTA via WIFI. Hasn't changed the fact I can't get data and all those other problems I've stated I've had.
[Sprint LG G2] MrTriTanium:
I'm adding my two-cents again.

Could it be that the changes on Boost's end quoted above could be the culprit?

I have NO experience with Boost reps activating an eligible Sprint phone on Boost. I activated my Sprint G2 on Boost early this past April BEFORE any mention of calling Boost to activate it was possible and you HAD to go to a Boost-branded store to activate it.

Without looking in this thread, there is NO mention of being able to call Boost and activate your Sprint phone. The Activate a Sprint Phone page on Boost's website still does NOT mention that option and says activation can only be done at a store. To me, the reps not knowing how to do the activation (or properly) is NOT a surprise.

The only thing I can suggest is to .tot back to stock (process here) and update through the OTAs. It's a long process but it WILL return your phone back to Sprint and when it "activates" the network will do the proper things to get Boost working, e.g. Boost apps, boot animation, etc. Do I think it could solve your issues? Probably. Will it? no clue... (You can .tot to later ZVx firmware BUT you have to match the firmware with the proper radio for it to work. Other threads have that info.)
[Sprint LG G2] rudygetz:
Over a month later and I'm still dealing with no data. I was just told by a rep that their tech told them that currently this phone isn't supporting any data support which I know is bull****. The tech told him that it only supports text and phone calls. The rep doesn't even believe him but they wouldn't allow him to transfer the call. I wish I could get to someone that mattered and show them this thread.

edit: And just like that I spoke to right rep who had me go through the same steps others did and somehow it finally worked. After doing one of the Update Profile and Update PRL it gave an Error but it instantly restarted the phone and upon restarting I had LTE.
[Sprint LG G2] wetbiker7:
Since you got it working, are you now able to update profile or PRL? When mine activated it received the Boost PRL but I haven't been able to update the PRL or profile since. I keep getting an error. Fortunately everything (calls, data) are working fine. I just can't flash any of the Sprint ROMs. A profile update is needed to get data working with them.

Thankfully rooted stock isn't so bad. I was able to get the hotspot working too.

Sent from my LG-LS980
[Sprint LG G2] rudygetz:
I haven't tried updating anything once I got it to work, and I'm honestly hesitant to even try. I don't have any Boost bloatware, it's all showing up as Sprint. I wouldn't mind trying to root it but again last thing I want to do is screw up my now fully functional phone.
[Sprint LG G2] wetbiker7:
That's interesting that you didn't get the Boost bloat. Thankfully I was able to remove mine since I went ahead and rooted. :)

How should I go about rooting my phone? I don't want to brick it. I managed to brick another lg g2 once I succesfully rooted and tried putting custom rom on it.
[Sprint LG G2] wetbiker7:
Here's the stuff you need to root. I included a README. Just follow instructions. After you're rooted get LS980 AutoRec and it will flash TWRP for you.

EDIT..... Make sure you use the AutoRec for your G2 model. It can be found in the G2 section here on XDA.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] phoneturf:
I got an SM-P600 today and let it update. I then (thought I) rooted and installed TWRP. I booted into TWRP and did a nandroid and it worked fine. After rebooting, I tried to restore tibu backups from my Note 8. I found I was not really rooted. I had used the root method for 4.3 instead of for 4.4.2. However, the 4.4.2 root file is not currently available on chainfire (bandwidth exceeded error) and there are no mirrors. Since I already have TWRP installed and it appears to be working, can I just flash a new rom anyway?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Orion116:
Find a pre-rooted rom and flash that to get root. You could also see if someone could post the root file too. Hope this helps.

I got some strange problem about my nexus 7(2012) with android 5.0.

It has been upgraded to 5.0 some days. It may lag but not have problems. Now, it boots circle when it boots into launcher for seconds.

I have tried to reset it but it can't. It just rebooted to android robot screen and did nothing. The problem still occurred. I can't do factory reset.

I also found I can't wipe any data or flash ROM either with fastboot command or with nexus 7 tookit.

It seemed I can't do anything changed in the tablet.

Does anyone have ideas?﻿

Is it really the problem of hardware?

Barring the obvious screen size, resolution, and PPI differences between the Z2 and Z3C, the specs seem quite similar. Was wondering what "real world" performance differences people experience, if any.

I had the chance to compare my Z3C against the Z2 this Christmas. The Z2 is larger and the screen is better (FHD). In terms f performance there was none differences, since they almost use the same chipset and amount of RAM. Thanks to it's larger chassis, the Z2 sounded more clear, but as same loud as the Z3C. Camera performance = same. It's really about the device size (that's why I opted for the Z3C).
