So i bought this lg g2 with imei showing( D802 ) .......didn't know it was refurbished a that moment so I used the LG TOOL that showed D802 .....after the update to lollipop there was :

-a touch screen problem ( i had to use usb otg )

-memory was 16 gb

-imei unknown

I opened the back cover .....and was surprised to see d802AT on three spots but couldn't get to the motherboard's back ( was afraid)

I KNEW than that it was refurbished so i tried flashing a kdz rom ( d802 one kitkat) with the lg flash tool 2014 .....so now i'm stuck with the kitkat rom of d802 with the three issues ( touch screen memory and imei ) ................after some research some of the forumers stated that in this case the solution would be to flash d802 rom ( which i already had ) and to flash the motherboard's kernel ( which is done via recovery (twrp or cwm ) so I tried autorec (d80/0/1/2 and D208AT ) but each time my phone got into fastboot .....using klstool I managed to get the d802 rom back but still same touch problem

please help me i'm getting really tired of this .......... what should I do : flash D802AT rom (i'm afraid to get locked sim since it's sprint rom ) and what kernel should i flash to get a least rid of the screen problem

The Chinese companies that refurbish these phones are not stupid, They put original IMEI to it.

I have had so many handset like f320 and ls980 from olx sellers..my experience was pathetic and I was shocked to see people do carry refurbished phones or fake one..

When I hot f320 in my hand i was happy to see a memory card lg g2..The phone was neat but When I switch it on it shows 15 16 continue lines vertically on the lg logo..1st doubt.

2nd when i tried to double tap it...first it didn't work..i tried 10 times but no response..so d guy said it is due the screen guard attached or screen cover..he removed it..it worked then..but not always..it was like there should be 2 sec gap in double tap on that handset..

3rd when i tried to press the screen with my fingers so hard..it shows colors reaction(or what we call it when we press our old tv or lappy with fingers colors like blue and more blueish shows..)...i came to realize that its touch screen has been replaced with some extremely cheap one..even there was so much gap in the screen four corner and the outer four corner(m sorry I m not able to explain may be in a proper way)..

4th when i inserted my airtel sim sitting in CCD rajiv chowk..first it didn't show any signal..after 20mins it shows signal..

5th when i made a call to 198 and brought the phone near my ? the screen sensor didn't work..the screen was on even near ear on calls..ehc should not like that...

I tried so hard so many times but it didn't work..

6th when I opened his handset from back the screws were at their place and memory card did read..

He had one battery only instead of two nd no chargeable port for second battery..lead was not original..some nokia handset lead..charger was original..that's it..

And the guy made so ****ing damn good story for all this that what I got just brough it here..

Selling the phone in 10k

I said to him that I have no intention to buy a product from you..

Request all of you to stop buying any thing from such jerks..even in Re.1...

Thanks

Anyone of you who got screwed by the bloody refurbished one with an IMEI of D802 but handset of D800 or like wise can P.M me I can help you.
[G2 General] raptorddd:
ive seen lots on phones beign refurbished they should place a warning before doing anything to check if its refurbished to avoid bricking the phones.. good thing i read alot before and am glad mine was legit d800
[G2 General] Faran52:
Well dude good for you, thing is a friend of mine bought a D802 (atleast he thought) came out to be D800 and the imei was changed and was of D802, well luckily being a developer I had some idea and it took a me while to figure it all out and i did and now it is back running fully with D800 original Lollipop with Imei just changed. Thing is there are many people out there suffering the issue and I know what it feels like, just want to help them, I randomly came across this thread and posted thinking there could still be guys out there who need help.
[G2 General] raptorddd:
Beleive me there are plenty of people, and i fthey dont know they could mess up phone beyond repair or beyond their skills, i really think this is the first thing you need to do before rooting and installing a custom recovery.
[G2 General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Before we keep rolling along, please be careful that there is NO talk of changing IMEI nor suggesting that people can help to fix the stated issue by doing so.

This is an illegal action.

Thank you:good:
[G2 General] kamal1437:
Can anybody tell monde what's the difference Benn d802 and d802at, well in settings>about phones>software information it is d80220b whereas if i put the code in dialer as 3845#*802#it shows a menu where i select device test it shows options below them it is written d802at-00-20b-open-CN-MARCH-16-2014.

I WANT TO KNOW THAT IS MY PHONE GENUINE OR NOT ?

PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME OUT
[G2 General] Art Vanderlay:
Thats a d802. Why don't you try the trick in the OP if your worried.
[G2 General] Faran52:
Dude I ain't taking about changing Imei I'm just saying that people who got a phone changed with their IMEI and chaning your IMEI from a fake one to original that OEM have putten, I don't think is illegal.
[G2 General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Then you should have no issue posting the "how to" here.

Users should not need to "PM" you for this legal information.

This is what XDA is all about, the sharing of development knowledge:good:
[G2 General] Faran52:
Yeah you are right but the thing is refurbished ones have so many damn issues that I can't cover them in one thread. So making many threads would require a load of time which I don't got right now, but soon enough I'll post multiple linked threads on how to fix refurbished one's but for now P.M is what is.

On the other hand yeah you are right sharing is what is in my mind and I'll like to genuinely help.

[G2 General] Shoaib_Malik111:
i am confused checking from motherboard too,, i opened the back cover and there are different model numbers written and now i am confused which one is the model number?? :(
[G2 General] Art Vanderlay:
None of them are right. You have to unscrew the plastic cover, pull back the ribbon cable and remove all the connectors to loosen the motherboard. The model number's written on the bottom side of it.

See here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O12UJMOCx1w

i am afraid but i think i am gonna have to try.
[G2 General] kopter36:
I guess you are talking about changing generic IMEI into valid device-specific IMEI back, right?

Can you make a tutorial for it? And can we do that if we have no efs backup in the first place?

Mine have no backup and unfortunately, my IMEI was changed to generic by itself after I played games and my phone shut down because of fully drained battery. However my phone wasn't refurbished.
[G2 General] Faran52:
Sorry Bro it took me a while to get back, for the tutorial I ain't got so much time and I'm gonna get on it as soon as I can but till now P.M is the only way and yes I'm talking about fixing generic IMEI even without an EFS backup. If you still got the issue P.M me and I will guide you through it.

You're welcome.

You can try flashing ls980 recovery as per your version of Android. Then you can flash any ls980 custom rom on it. Do make a backup before you proceed.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] MasterColdSoul:
My current devices are... Nexus 5, Note 3 (broken radio :( ), Nexus 7 2013 LTE and a aging transformer 300. I am mainly looking at a replacement for my T300 which is my main media consumption device.

I want something 8 inches or more so its mainly between the Samsung Pro 8.4 and a LG G pad 8.3. I like the LG more in the closer to stock skin but not the out of date CPU. I'm also sorta considering the Acer 840fhd but it seems to have zero developer support. I am also considering the Samsung S 8.4 but don't like the CPU either as it won't have much support most likely either.

So is it a waste to buy the Samsung Pro 8.4 at this point as its getting old all ready for 220 as a refurbished unit? I missed out on the 199 new units sadly. I'm wondering how long until a really good cm12 build and how long it will maintain CM support. I need to keep it for 18 months or so from now for it to be worth it.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] redpoint73:
The Tab Pro 8.4 is a decent enough tablet. But I'd be inclined to wait and see what Sammy has coming, with the Pro 8.4 being a year old at this point. Unfortunately, whatever does come out, will be at a high price point (assuming they give us "premium" options like the Pro and Pro S; instead of just their lowball budget line like the "regular" Galaxy Tab series). And then the price will likely drop soon thereafter (due to lack of sales), so it doesn't benefit you much to be an early adopter.

It depends a lot on whether you value "the next big" thing more, of if the price point is your main concern. But the Pro 8.4 has a fairly common charging bug (mine included) that is very annoying, and makes me want to say "wait".
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] btvranger:
I would wait for the Nexus 9 to drop in the $299 brand new range. I miss the 4:3 form factor as I almost always use the tablet in portrait. The N9 will also likely receive an upgrade to Android M in the fall, whereas the Pro 8.4 might not even get Lollipop...
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] redpoint73:
If I did it over again right now, I'd get the N9 as well. The only reason I bought the Pro 8.4 was that I broke my Note 8, couldn't wait to replace it, (use my tablet too much) and the Pro 8.4 was the best thing around at the time (N9 not released yet).
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] btvranger:
Yep! Same here, couldn't wait until N9, but to our benefit they didn't release the thing (N9) for a LONG time
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] redpoint73:
Yeah, now that I look it up, the N9 didn't release until October 2014. I though it was much earlier than that. I busted my Note 8 (and needed a replacement tablet) in April 2014. So no way I could have waited that long!

First world problems, I know. But its one of those things you can't do without, once you have it!
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Tuberomix:
I certainly think it's worth it. After much research looking into most other (including more expensive options), I concluded the Tab Pro 8.4 is pretty much the perfect tablet for me. Awesome screen, still speedy Snapdragon 800, official CM support (plus some other ROMs). Plus the current $215 (certified refurb) price is truly great!

When comparing it to other options, the Tab S, I'm not sure about the PenTile AMOLED panel, but it has an Exynos SoC which is slightly slower than the Snapdragon and doesn't work as well with custom ROMs (although the Tab S 8.4 recently got official CM support too). The Nexus 9 apparently has some build quality issues, no SD card support (32GB only is not ideal since I'd want much storage for media) and the 4:3 aspect ratio which to me doesn't seem as good as Pro's 16:10. Now Samsung is rumored to announce another tablet soon, but it is rumored to also have a 4:3 screen, plus it too will probably have an Exynos SoC...

(TL;DR) I'm not sure why everyone in this thread is complaining about the Pro 8.4, it seems to be a perfect device that has everything I would want in a tablet for a great price, and is therefore the one I'm intending on getting! (unless you guys here have counter evidence that explains why this is actually a horrible tablet...)
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Dark_Vortex:
Well, I bought a Tab Pro 8.4 the week of Black Friday at Best Buy for $199 and I love it. As a matter of fact, here it is over four months later & I still smile every time I pick it up. The form factor is perfect in my eyes. 8.4 inches is not too big and not too small. The 16:10 aspect ratio is crazy awesome. My PC monitor is 16:10 as well so it's a great match-up as it is what I'm used to. Oh, and you can't mention the screen without saying something about the 2560x1600 resolution with a 359 dpi. I would not mind having an AMOLED screen to match my Galaxy S5, but the IPS screen is still top-notch. I would *not* want a 4:3 device. With an aspect ratio like that you may as well go back to CRTs, IMO.

Some people may prefer a 4:3 screen or a bigger or smaller form factor. That's cool as everyone is different and has different tastes. However, if I were buying today I'd buy a Tab Pro 8.4 all over again.

I'll stop writing now...all this talk about my tablet makes me want to go use it. See ya later. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] samanbabah:
Hi, is there anyway I can convert a Galaxy S6 Edge from T-Mobile to International variant? I used to own a HTC One and I could simply change the CID and MID to be able to install different ROMs and firmwares form other Htc One variants.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
I routinely used International Roms on my Tmob S5 no issues. Simply root then flash whatever. The Tmob variant used the Qualcomm processor so one had to just make sure they flashed the correct International version, which as far as Tmob goes, was the KLTE International model.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] samanbabah:
ok thank you. do you know what's the best ROM out there for the Edge right now? also can I flash stock international firmware from Sammobile site or not?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
Never really a good idea here on XDA asking "What is the best ROM". It is so early in the game right now I would just watch the Forum posts here and on the XDA International site for ROMs as they come out from various developers.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general

Here is a link to the general section for the Samsung galaxy S6 which references the International site. Plus I have no clue at this time if they will be mixing and matching S6 vs S6 Edge Roms, just because the Edge obviously will have a few more capabilities. Again, this is way too early in the game to be even thinking about a 'best Rom" ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] rjayflo:
Also interested to know if it can be converted to international so I can get international updates instead of waiting for Tmobile to push it out. Flashing roms is a no-brainer. Now that all S phones have the same hardware, I'm interested in straight conversion like HTC phone(s) are able to do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] damcyk:

What about the wifi calling? You would lose this with the international rom wouldn't you? I had actually been thinking about getting the international (for the green that us disenfranchised Yanks don't get) and then putting tmo software on it. :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ktetreault14:
Try it out and let us know. Watch out what you flash I'm Odin and take a backup. I'm on way home and since I took a backup already I'm gonna try flashing the Int'l debloated rom after awhile.
