[LG Optimus L90] linasj:
Exactly. Since the device cannot be turned on, I don't think they have any way of checking if it was rooted or tampered with in any way. So your best bet is to just play dumb and tell them your phone doesn't boot up. That helped me to get it fixed for free.
[LG Optimus L90] wmosquini:
Legal, tomorrow I will even take the guarantee to solve as fast as possible. Really the device not the sign of life at all. I will inform you that the device was carrying at night and just when I catch him in the morning, he was like that.

Thank you for your help. : D
[LG Optimus L90] bacitoto:
My first L90 didn't have a functional GPS, was brand new (1 week), problem was I rooted in the first day

Factory reset, hid superuser app, got a new l90 :)

Gud luck
[LG Optimus L90] Andruxa666777:
hard reset does not remove all traces of root. There is RCT checking. u can be sure that have no traces of root when RCT was reset. On kit kat we have chance to reset it without reflashing. But on 5.0 only reflash

Did u flash it from 5.0 or 4.4? This problem may have solve without service center. But if u have warranty, it must not worry u.

Hello, I just want to know that while booting, did your phone show the message "Secure booting error"?

I am getting this message at the LG logo and then device just shuts off.
[LG Optimus L90] linasj:
No, I don't think I ever got this message.
[LG Optimus L90] wmosquini:
In my case, the device did not care and neither carried, gave no sign of life. I sent him for assistance in less than one week they made the repair by warranty.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] les02jen17:
Are there any complete guides on how to go back to stock? I've changed pretty much everything on the nook from the bootloader (I think that's the u.boot.bin or something?) to the ROM itself. The problem is that was a long time ago and I kind of forgot what I did. I just need to put it back to the stock nook rom it came out of the box with... I'll just be using it for reading now. Any ideas?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Just use the one on A15 of my tips thread. It will take it back to pure stock.

[AT&T LG G2] vanbear:
Hello

Today I had a very bad accident with my LG G2 smatphone.

I had an official CM 11 on board. Wanted to update it to CM 12, found this one: http://xdaforums.com/att-g2/development/5-0-2-cyanogenmod-12-t3037040

Downloaded, flashed, everything was fine. Then I installed SuperSU from the Play store. Next, opened the app and tried to install the components it needed. It failed. The app recommended to reboot. After rebooting, the screen was all white with dark corners, I was able to see the interface through the white layer, it looked like this one I found on Google: http://i.stack.imgur.com/gGYktm.jpg

After turning off and on the screen, the colors came back to normal, BUT there are now exactly five one pixel width black lines through the entire length of the screen.

Teriffied, I rebooted quickly to recovery (the lines are there aswell) and installed back CM 11 from the backup with senseless hope. It didn't help.

The phone was connected through the USB cable to my laptop all the time.

Couldn't find any fix to the problem, please help me, the phone is new and without warranty. (the guy that sold me it didn't say it was the ATT D800 one, I live in Europe so no warranty here, I guess.)
[AT&T LG G2] lucifercipher:
Its an incorrect firmware case. Don't worry. Simply restore it using the LG Flash tool and you should be fine. And remember, always go to CM12 site for most recent firmware files.
[AT&T LG G2] LazyG:
You you search, you'll find it is a common problem. It is likely related to overheating, and it is a permanent. Fortunately it is not so critical and you can live with it
[Galaxy S6 General] Slicktune:
What's the chances of us seeing production for the GS6 anytime after its release date? Only because its rocking the "Exynos processor" which has delayed a couple projects for GS4 and GS5 in previous occasions. And knox is stronger than ever before according to Samsung's MWC presentation..

What are your thoughts on this.. will development be slow as it was on the GS5?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S6 General] bixnode:
I predict it will take several months after release before we see any AOSP/CM support. Samsung is really bad about releasing firmware documentation as is, the new processor will probably complicate things further. It seems like they don't want people in control of their devices, even going as far as to lock bootloaders...
[Galaxy S6 General] natefish:
The AT&T variant of GS5 doesn't have a functional CM yet, so I wouldn't count on it happening anytime soon. I would like the option, but I can live with a debloated TW rom like I have.
[Galaxy S6 General] megagodx:
Well, I wouldn't really care. Why spend to dollar on cutting edge hardware to put buggy, featureless firmware that isn't optimized for it anyway.
[Galaxy S6 General] istperson:
Then you're obviously in the wrong topic.
[Galaxy S6 General] Slicktune:
Because that's what makes android open source, customizable, don't you wanna be able to under/overclock your kernel to save battery? Featureless? Ill take the privilege of being able to customize any day over gimmicky features[emoji110]
[Galaxy S6 General] fix-this!:
slim with aosp based roms. you should be able to get stockish based roms and kernels though.
[Galaxy S6 General] matheus_sc:
With exynos, i think not
[Galaxy S6 General] thyttel:
But you are a small minority and the majority don't care one bit about AOSP Roms and under/over clock. So better get used to it as Samsung and every other company in this game is in for the money not the minorities pleasure.
[Galaxy S6 General] Slicktune:
100% correct[emoji106] harsh but correct...but my question is: will the devs have a way around it??
[Galaxy S6 General] istperson:
Are there any large minorities? ;)

Also here on XDA those who want to hack, tweak and mod their phones are the majority. And there always were manufacturers who were willing to produce very good quality phones that were relatively easy to unlock and flash custom recoveries. And they sometimes also used quite open architecture, like the Qalcomm SOCs.

Samsung was one of these, but lately the whole knox=warranty business started to make it a lot harder to root phones. Although those who didn't care for their knox warranty flags, were able to flash custom roms early. (I waited the whole year before I tripped my knox)

But with the S6 they changed three things at the same time: brought back Exynos, removed the external sd card, and sealed the battery in. For the first thing, it's Qualcomm who the real cuplrit is, because they mucked up their 64bit processor. But the rest is Apple's fault, including then need to produce a 64 bit processor. :D
[Galaxy S6 General] megagodx:
Stock TW with stock kernel is typically more stable and optimized for performance and battery life anyway. Maybe your argument would have made a point 3 or 4 years ago when Samsung really didn't have all that much experience creating proprietary software that performed well and is optimized. This was back in the S2 and S3 era.

Things are different nowadays and if you really don't know what you're doing, all these options you can tweak can really have an adverse side effect on your day to day usage of the phone.
[Galaxy S6 General] yahyoh:
LMAO who cares ?

if u want AOSP roms just get nexus and save yourself the waiting and the BS = ( Samsung don't support aosp bla bla bla...)
[Galaxy S6 General] Slicktune:
I care, and the rest of xda that roots phones does, the nexus 6 is too big, and the nexus 5 is out dated, stop being a sheep and break out those chains, tweak what u want and dont be complacent just because samsung has it tweaked at a certain frequency or set up a certain eay doesnt mean u cant go beyond and use the phone at its fullest potential
[Galaxy S6 General] yahyoh:
rooting phone and modifying it doesn't always mean u want AOSP roms , specially after xposed framework came over i totally stopped flashing roms and saved the hassle that come with flashing roms and wiping and ****....

sheep? yeah im sheep cuz i want to use my phone with all its functions not flashing buggy roms on my phone that will make lose 80% features of the phone especially cam and speaker and battery optimizations and samsung addons that come with TW , so yeah good luck with buggy AOSP
[Galaxy S6 General] calvin35:
After seeing all the good things this phone has going for it from the fingerprint scanner, speed of the UI, camera improvements and the new theme engine(that Avengers theme looks nice by the way) there is no way I'm missing out on all that by flashing aosp on it. The funny thing is I used to run aosp exclusively on all my Samsung phone through the S4. The S5 is the first Samsung phone that I've run Touchwiz on 99% of the time. The only the I want on the S6 is root+adaway+maybe some slight debloating.
[Galaxy S6 General] Slicktune:
Yeah because I'm going to miss hovering my wet/dirty hands over the phone to answer a call, or tilting my head to scroll up/ down, pausing the video when i look away, shutting my screen off when i fall asleep watching a movie.. yup I'm gonna miss all those "features" BLOATWARE yup imma miss all that over speed and battery...

Yours Truly sarcasm...

Maybe moto maxx is device for you, 5.2 2k screen with snap 805 processor. Dont expect much things of exynos.
[Galaxy S6 General] Slicktune:
Thanks, but unfortunately the Moto Maxx is verizon only [emoji20] and the Moto X 2014 is a drawback for me because of the battery.. 2400 mah battery... But i was once in the checkout page for the moto x. 2014 edition 32 gb, i even got accepted for the motorola credit.. but then i saw the M8 on swappa.com for $460(Brand new sealed) and it was a no brainer..but cm12 on the m8 has speaker distortion issues.... So im here hoping for the best when the s6 comes out...
[Galaxy S6 General] matheus_sc:
No, moto maxx is int version of droid turbo, in usa have a xt 1250 variant too, its a great device with 3900 mah battery and a dev bring up cm for device.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crumplet:
Why can't i install any kitkat kernel on any kitkat rom mainly AOKP and Paranoid.?Only thing i can guess is the fact that both roms will only install on a [MENTION=5031300]blastagator[/MENTION] modified jellybean boot-loader and not a kitkat boot-loader same with Paranoid lollipop.But back on subject i need some help ty.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blastagator:
AOSP and Stock use different kernels, if that is what you are having an issue with. They are not interchangeable.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crumplet:
So just to clarify in laymen terms,cause this is my first phone with an unlocked bootloader. In order to install a kernel, the kernel has to be compatible with the bootloader. This I already know. However my main problem is why AOKP and Paranoid KK roms won't install on using a KK bootloader. I can only install these two KK roms mentioned above with the JB bootloader only. This is what I don't understand.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blastagator:
Bootloader doesn't really matter as long as the hack you are using supports the bootloader. Our bootloader is locked, they just use bugs to get around the lock. Different BLs have different exploits available.

You could probably install those ROMs, you would just have to make sure the proper hack is applied first.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] tmtmaats:
Hey all,

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up about the lollipop update that just got to our Verizon variants of the One M8. My phone is completely stock, has never been rooted or s-off. I got the lollipop OTA update yesterday and after 45 mins of installing I couldn't wait to see how lollipop would improve my user experience on my phone. Short answer: it didn't AT ALL. The long answer is written out below.

1. Notifications

I don't really like the lollipop update to the notifications bar (1 swipe for notifications, 2 for settings) but its really just personal preference. However, with the update, you can no longer check your notifications directly from the lockscreen. You can't even see the icons of the new notifications at the top without unlocking your phone.

2. Lock Screen

Lock screen widgets are gone with the update. You also no longer have the option of swiping to the left for BlinkFeed, now its just a straight unlock that brings you to the page you last had open. No way to get to the homescreen directly like earlier. Now what the update did that really pisses me off is that you can no longer control your music from the lockscreen. With KitKat, you could skip tracks, and pause the song directly from the lockscreen. Now with the update you can't do any of those. You can't even swipe down from the lockscreen to see the media playing. Literally all you get is the album image of the song playing on your lockscreen. Yeah, just the image, you don't even get to see the name of the song playing.

3. Longer Boot Time

The boot time is longer now. Also once I get past the HTC and Verizon logo's while booting I get a dialogue box that says "Android is upgrading" before it goes to my homescreen. I'm not sure if this the case with everyone but it has happened to me everytime I reboot.

4. Just general unpleasantness

Recent apps takes longer to show all apps (I use grid view). Its quite minor and only noticeable if you compare it with a phone on KitKat but its still annoying. The Google Play Services update was also really annoying and it made my phone hang while it updated. The update also removed the World Clock Globe feature which was kinda cool, especially when I traveled. Again this is minor, but the update should improve the user experience not remove existing features.

Anyways, this is just my take on the lollipop update and it could be different for everyone. I, for one, am seriously considering downgrading back to KitKat (if its possible yet). I really hate it when an update takes my device in the backwards direction.

What did you guys think of the update?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] just lou:
I haven't had any issues with Lollipop on my M8. I've been running Lollipop on my Nexus 7 for months, so I'm already used to it. After getting familiar with it, I prefer it to KK. The slow boot time is probably due to the fact you has "fast boot" enabled on the previous version of Android. HTC has removed it from Lollipop.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] tmtmaats:
UPDATE:

Going to Sound & Notification > When Device is Locked > Show all notifications fixes the notification grievances that I had listed.

just_lou,

I don't think FastBoot is the issue. I had it disabled when I was running KitKat. The issue is the dialogue box of "Android is Upgrading" that still shows up (I just rebooted to see if it shows and it did). I'm not sure if this will go away after a while or not.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
If you are showing this repeated it means you either have an app installed that isn't art capable or your cache is corrupt. Backup and factory reset. You should not see that message on every boot.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] d08speed3:
Still think 4.4.4 is wayyyyy smoother than 5.0. Visually.... 5.0 is nice but its only a few you touches. I'm not impressed. Waste of an update. I'm on 5.0 ROMs which help but I miss my 4.4.4 snappiness lol.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] tmtmaats:
ok I thought it shouldn't appear every time. so I went ahead and factory reset my phone after checking to make sure a backup was present. the most recent backup was about an hour before I updated to Lollipop, so I thought it would be fine in terms of having all the essential data. I used HTC Backup for the process.

Now after the reset, HTC backup can't find the backup when I click "Restore from cloud". All I see is "none" under the "Restore from Backup" option. Now I know for a fact that the backup file is saved on the cloud, I used Google Drive.

Is the phone unable to read that backup because it was done when the phone was running KitKat? If so, then begins the long task of restoring everything one by one..... :mad:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
No that should not be an issue. I have used it forward and backwards. Open play and then go back to HTC backup. Possible it's not looking in your Google account at all yet.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] tmtmaats:
I opened the Play Store and tried again. Backup still didn't show up. Then I deleted all the accounts on the phone and re-logged in. Still didn't show up. I went ahead and did another factory reset, reinstalled the HTC backup apk, logged in and opened the play store and tried to restore again. HTC backup still didn't find my backup. Then I double checked to make sure that I was using the right account with which I had done the backup. After confirming that, I tried once again deleting all accounts and signing in again and still nothing.

Finally, I tried to sync the account manually and then try. Still nothing.

I have used HTC backup in the past, and it worked fine to restore everything. Just this time it isn't.

Is there anything else I can try?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] neoshi:
You know you can swipe right when locked and screen off to get blinkfeed right? Just have to decide now before you turn on the screen if you are planning to go to blinkfeed I guess.

I get my audio controls for Spotify on the lock screen too... With controls to play, pause, next. Just double tap the screen.

The grid recent apps seems to take longer because it's multiple screens of recent apps.

Just a quick tip but you can access your pulldown quick settings menu with the double finger down swipe when the screen is on at the lock screen. Useful for switching to silent or airplane mode without unlocking or using the volume hardware rocker.

That being said, my battery life isn't so great anymore and my GPS is skewed now (I'm always about 30-45 degrees of in the direction I'm facing).
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Shahaed:
Instead of using that crap "blinkfeed" launcher use the Google Launcher form the play store.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bimmerdriver:
I just received the OTA for Lollipop for my SM-G900W8, but I'm holding off on installing it. I've read some pretty negative feedback on it (e.g., Verizon), as well as from some Nexus 5 owners who say it's very unstable. If you are a running on a Canadian network, particularly Bell Mobility, your feedback is appreciated.

Also, did you have to clear the cache or do a reset?

Is there a way to delete a pending OTA update? I'm worried it will install next time I reboot the phone and I don't want that to happen until I'm ready.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zarpanzur:
+1 I'm with Rogers btw
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackass_ca:
I am also a Rogers customer...

I never received notice of the update and when trying through Kies, and checking update through the phone it showed my 4.4.2 as current. In speaking with Rogers on line and in store, they tell me that 5.0 was pulled by Samsung due to bugs, yet Samsung won't confirm, other than Norway. Have been trying to update to 5.0 or at least wait til 5.1 comes, but not sure how I get my phone to do this automatically, without having to flash the firmware. Phone is unlocked, but never rooted.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seijin:
I tried stock Lollipop a couple days ago. I went back to KitKat a day later. I wasn't a fan of the way it handled sound with the whole interruption system and such. And I often turn off just notifications while leaving everything else on but it was overly complicated to do that with the stock 5.0 rom. I had a couple force closures on apps that were never a problem before and it was just, well, not as responsive. Although that might've needed to take some time? The pop-up notifications thing was annoying (blocked part of the app I was in some times) and the task switcher was slow and cumbersome compared to the fast list in KitKat.

My thoughts, anyway. I think I'll wait for Google to mess with stuff. I get the feeling that they upgraded with good intentions but got a bit too carried away with their ideas. However, I am just one person so, you know, others probably liked it a lot.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bimmerdriver:
Thanks for the replies. I didn't hear anything bad specifically for this model do I decided to give it a try. Installation was clean. No glitches at all. I'll keep an eye on battery consumption and report back. First impression is that Google got carried away with themselves making gratuitous changes.
