Would love to contact [MENTION=2228410]Skrilax_CZ[/MENTION] but his profile clearly states any PMS regarding support or firmware would not be answered. So hopefully he sees this and is willing to reach out seeing as we're both in Finland. :p Besides I'm not ready to go the CM route, not until I find out I can't update my radios without a new ROM.

Doird Turbo 2 (TWO)

The Turbo 2 (two) now has - in the developer settings menu - a bootloader UN-lock switch. So much for the Turbo 1 complaints.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] meskes:
That's not entirely true. You can use non certified devices on the network as long as you already have a nano Sim programmed. Otherwise, you may have to get creative.

Tapped out from my Motorola Droid Turbo, featuring Android 5.1. Please pardon my brevity.

Wow, truly fantastic. Great post......

Turbo has that setting too...it doesn't do anything. But man, great post again. Awesome.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
You are wrong. That setting does not work, since Verizon has their bootloaders locked down. You've posted this wrong information twice now, again just a few hour ago in another thread. In fact, those are your ONLY two posts -- BAD INFORMATION. Maybe you should stop?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64076916&postcount=12

One quick way to prove your Droid Turbo 2 (KINZIE) has bootloader unlocked is to install TWRP and root. Will take 5 minutes if your bootloader is REALLY unlocked. ;)

In the Droid Turbo 2 thread they are still complaining about locked bootloader and lack of root. So, that's another indication that setting is useless for Verizon locked down phones.

And yes, the Droid Turbo XT1254 finally has unlocked bootloader, but thanks to devs and Sunshine. Droid Turbo 2 bootloader is still locked down.

The turbos bootloader can be unlocked on 5.1 with sunshine
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greycobalt:
Are there any kernels/mods supported for M yet, or that didn't change much? For example, anyone know of a way to enable the battery percentage like you were able to in 5.x with the MCR pack? I didn't realize how badly I needed that feature. I was using Franco Kernel and the MCR pack, and I had it perfect! I don't suppose Google turned on the LEDs for us yet?

In my absolute moronity, I decided to do a nandroid and then test the dev preview without moving my backup off the phone first. :-| I confused it with my S Tab and having an SD card, so I'm basically boned on that front. Hopefully I can get used to this instead.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bigg6987:
I decided to get my girlfriend a Verizon SCH-I545 to replace her T-Mobile Galaxy S3. It was working great on our T-Mobile service. Then I saw online that Verizon had released lollipop on their S4, so I figured I would plug the phone into Kies and update it from 4.4.2 to 5.0.1. I updated it overnight. When she went to use it in the morning, everything worked great, except it wouldn't send a text message. T-Mobile and Samsung support said that it is because T-Mobile hasn't released their lollipop rom for the S4 yet. I figured the best thing to do would be to roll back the firmware. Having done some rooting and custom roms on my old galaxy S2 Epic 4g Touch, I felt like I knew exactly what to do. I downloaded multiple ROMs and tried to install them through ODIN and through stock recovery. Nothing took. Finally after trying about 10 things, I soft bricked the phone. I can still get into download (ODIN) mode, but I can't get into stock recovery anymore. When I try to go into stock recovery it gives me this message: "Software Update Failed" "Your device didn't update successfully. Use the Verizon Software Repair Assistant on a computer to repair your device and complete the update." But, while the phone was still able to boot into android, the phone installed the Verizon Software Repair Assistant. I attempted to use it to rollback to 4.4.2 and the Assistant told me that it couldn't do anything to repair 5.0.1.

What I need to accomplish is either getting the phone back to 4.4.2 or 5.0.1 with text messaging working by any means necessary. Before I soft bricked the phone, I was hoping to avoid changing from stock recovery, but at this point I'm willing to do whatever I need to. For compatibility reasons, I hoped to try to keep her on a stock rom. If anyone knows of a rom with no bugs and a close to stock experience, I'll gladly set her up any way you guys think I should.

Thank you in advance for your assistance. I apologize for being "long winded" but I wanted to try and give as much detail as possible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bigg6987:
Still looking for any help I can get in resolving these issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cwa82:
You can't flash custom recovery for anything newer than 4.3 you will just jack up your phone trying.

Is both Talk & Data working??? SMS might be just improper APN settings. Google the APN for T-Mobile and that should fix it.

Since you installed 5.0.1 over Kies you are kind of stuck cause that would have updated the baseband and you can't have anything older than the baseband version.

Try installing this over Odin:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952596145

If you have Odin 3.09 or 3.10 choose AP to load the file. Make sure its unzipped too.

google luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bigg6987:
somewhat resolved

I'm no longer soft bricked. I just got that back up and going. However the phone will still not send text messages. From what I've found, this only happens on 4g LTE. But, data, incoming texts, phone calls, mms, and everything else has been working just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Yeah, you can curse Verizon for this. They lock down everything. A lot of people are flashing the Verizon version of Lollipop which screws their phone. I would show you a fix for that, but you need root, and OC1 doesn't have it yet. No fix for this because you can't Odin back and there is no root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cwa82:
if you look at the link i posted its a version of Lollipop that lets you flash back to KitKat. It only works if you never installed lollipop. Unfortunately for me my phone wont read my sim card anymore its pretty much just a small tablet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bigg6987:
Sadly I had upgraded to lollipop, which is what created my problems to begin with. If I had never updated, text messages would've always worked, and ib never would have soft bricked the phone trying to roll back to kit-kat. I'm just glad I got the soft brick fixed, now I just have to wait for a fix on the text messaging.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cwa82:
You might be better off just buying her a different phone and selling that one.

[XDA Assist] herna:
Hello beloved Jose.

I am herna from XDA Assist team. Regarding your questions, I have a fee things to say.

First, this is an international forum, so if you post you should do it in English and not in Spanish as you did, since not all the XDA Assist team will understand Spanish as I do.

Second, S4 is not the flagship device of Samsung as it was two years ago, since S5 and the S6 and S6 Edge are already out. This means, that update to Lollipop can take much longer of what is expected, so you should wait until the OTA arrives, since we are not Samsung and we don't know when it is coming out.

The only thing we can offer you, is to install any of the tens custom ROMs available in our forum. It will void your warranty, but this way you will can have Lollipop, even 5.1.1 in your device.

And third one, in case you want to ask about Galaxy S4, please do it in this subforum dedicated to Galaxy S4, and as said before, in English, please.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/help

I will wait 24 hours to you translate your original post to English, if not, I will move it to the correspondant thread and will translate it so people from Spain or Europe will can help you regarding the question you did.

Good luck, and please, even if your English is not good, give it a try, it's never too late to learn English.

Cheers,

herna.

i buy if from Chinese seller and it wasn't new. can anyone tell me how to check it out? th
[LG Optimus G Pro] crashpsycho:
In trying to.find out the same I bought my device on eBay and it was sold as an e980 but when in recovery tarp it says the device is a f310lr
[LG Optimus G Pro] hawkwind212:
Since you can buy all the different replacement parts of lg ogp, I can see how someone can just assemble a bunch fake lg ogp using different motherboard and the replacement parts. I was wondering why for the phone with such spec it's selling for around $100 brand new on ebay. I can see how that can be the case since the replacement parts are cheap and they are hard to distinguish from the oem. The motherboard is the only thing that really makes the phone lg, so I guess perhaps you have to look at the chips on the board to see if it's real or fake.
[LG Optimus G Pro] crashpsycho:
Is it possible for.someone to modify the stock rom and turn the phone into an e980 because I've check the build prop didn't see any code irregular yet when I try flash a rom the recovery detects my device as f310lr
[LG Optimus G Pro] hawkwind212:
You mean if they can use the lg firm ware on the fake device? I think they can do that if they have the proper equipment such as the jtag kit. JTAG kit can be used to install the firm ware on to the rom chips.
[LG Optimus G Pro] crashpsycho:
I thought the jtag equipment was only for bring a device back from hard brick but I have no clue andi haven't had time to take the device apart, and check the information but I can flash f310lr firmware and not brick but I can also flash e980 firmware from f310lr roms soo who knows
[LG Optimus G Pro] irt118:
you can really do that? :eek:
[LG Optimus G Pro] xytkhi:
what about imei ? if the imei indicates the phone is e980 its the real model ?
[LG Optimus G Pro] hawkwind212:
If you can turn the phone on with the imei number, then I think you should good. From what I understand about j-tag, it fixes a hard bricked phone by reinstall its firmware, and all the other software that need to get a phone to turn on. When a phone is soft bricked, the recovery mode is still accessible, that's why you can often fix it with the flashing tool. In case of hard bricked phone, the file allocation table is gone. Hence, the only way to fix it is use the third party tool like the j-tag, by connecting each input and output gates with the soldering wires.

Recently my nexus 5 was broken and needed to be replaced. The screen froze and I could not even turn it off. Unfortunately my alarm went off the next morning in a room where 13 other people were sleeping. In my half asleep state the only thing I could think of was to remove the battery. I managed to do some more damage to the phone in the process and noe it won't turn on. The orange strip covering the battery is broken, and it will not turn on. Is there any way I can restore power to the phone in order to back it up?

Anyone think they might screw up as bad as they did with the note 4 preorder/launch? I bought mine online earlier this week. Think it will be there tomorrow? When and where do I get my $100 gift card?
[G4 General] steveperrry:
They gave me a paper gift card right at the mobile counter when i picked up my phone. They had trouble finding my order, but eventually found it. They weren't really sure what provider's phone got release on what day, but overall it wasn't too bad. Used the gift card to buy some accessories while i was there.

[G4 General] tourbound129:
I don't have much faith right now. I sure hope that changes in the morning and I get a confirmation email that my order is ready.

I pre-ordered 2 phones, 1 on May 29, another on May 31.

I called today about 4 pm and the guy told me that pre-ordering doesn't guarantee that I get the phone on a specific day, just that it's on order. I just said that would he very disappointing and hung up.

I called again about 8pm and was told they have received phones and are still going thru them and that if mine came in I would get the email once it's scanned. I guess that's better than the earlier info.

Of course, the day I ordered the first phone, neither rep working knew when the phone was released and neither one about the gift card. I had to tell them about both so clearly not many people, if any, had ordered a phone in store prior to me.

I went in today to check out a floor model and said they were for sale today. I ended up buying one. They also put the gift card on an actual card instead of the paper one.

Ordered the Titanium Black (is it leather?) Verizon model last week, it shipped today and should arrive tomorrow.

Which is awesome, since I selected the free shipping option.
[G4 General] woozzy101:
I asked about the titanium black since they kept changing the verbage back and forth between "Metallic Gray" and "Titanium Black". I thought maybe it could be the leather as well. But unfortunately I found out that both of those have the same SKU Number. So both actually Metallic Gray, but Best Buy doesn't know how to post the right info.

If you also look at the pictures, there are pictures of the metallic gray. Although there are some group pictures with the blue and black leather together, but mostly the metallic gray. Sorry to burst your bubble :(

Yep, got the email yesterday afternoon saying its ready to be picked up by UPS and now its in my city awaiting delivery.

When I picked shipping options it said home delivery on something like June 10th or in store pickup on release day. I'll find out in a few hours when they open. If I dont get it today I'll have to promise myself no matter how much free stuff they offer never to pre order from them again.
[G4 General] DaBunny:
Got mine yesterday

Preordered on 5/28, picked up my VZW G4 yesterday. The usual cluelessness you expect from Best Buy, but no real hassles.

No, sorry to say that the Titanium black/gray/whatever is not leather. May be picking up a new backing at some point, but for now this is good. Very disappointed that there's only the one Verizon tramp stamp on the back and nothing on the front. How will I remember what carrier I have without reminders stamped all over my phone? ;)

Got a paper "gift card" too, which I thought I might need to wait for.
[G4 General] Lock-N-Load:
I got an emailed saying they were delayed. And then like 90 minutes later an email saying pickup was ready. But no matter, I cancelled to do the leather version direct with Verizon which ended up cheaper.
