[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Bricksmasher:
I have the Motorola droid hd xt926 with the Android 4.4.2. Update. I suddenly for unknown reasons have been reduced to having little more than an expensive paperweight. Upon startup the phone shows only an infinite glowing red eyeball with spinning lightning bolts. This goes on until the battery dies. I have discovered the recovery and ap fastboot modes. I have performed several cache clears and factory reset/wipe data selections only to get more stuck on red eye. When I press power+volume up and down then scroll down AP fast boot I am encouraged to see the battery ok and connect USB cable options. However I have not found instruction on what to do next specific to my device loaded with Android 4.4.2. So, since I'm stuck on the boot loader what can I do to reflash, refresh, repair, or reinstall the appropriate Android system? I have never rooted it and am unable to switch on USB dubugging because I'm stuck at eternal red eye. I think I am looking for a download of the respective Android image file and the necessary utilities to deliver it from my Windows 7 pc to my droid phone via fast boot mode and rsd6. Does anyone have a solution?

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WYPIERDAALAAC:
Thank you
[G4 General] Joe USer:
If anyone is interested, the Exchange service on the G4 (at least the T-Mobile version) can be disabled via the apps menu and Google Exchange services can be installed.

This will allow you to use the GMail app with Exchange enabled hosts, like Hotmail/Outlook.com and retain push mail, contact and calendar sync.

Recommended steps:

If you have any accounts using email and exchange, remove them first.

Open Settings/General/Apps/All

Tap on Exchange (The LG one with the blue icon)

Force stop

Disable the Exchange Service

(Restarting your phone is recommended at this point)

Install Google Exchange Services

(Restarting your phone is recommended at this point as well)

Open GMail and you will have Exchange as an option when you add an account.
[G4 General] nadram:
This is gold to me.

Thanks.
[G4 General] jbdan:
sweet thx!

edit: oops that didn't work for me it gets stuck constantly sync'ing and has some exchange service crashes hmm...
[G4 General] geoff5093:
Works fine here so far. I just wish you could disable the remote administration requiring your device to use a PIN. I'd love to use Smart Lock.
[G4 General] Joe USer:
It's important that you remove any old exchange accounts in email first, then force close the LG exchange service and disable it. If you don't disable it, then GMail will get stuck syncing.
[G4 General] jbdan:
Thanks I did that I'll try it again.
[G4 General] Joe USer:
Did you ever get it to work? If not, which model of the phone do you have?
[G4 General] tourbound129:
Directions worked perfectly. Thank you.
[G4 General] jbdan:
I haven't tried it again yet my life is crazy with a 3 yr old and twins :p I've been using stock g4 email app. I'll try it this week and report back thanks. Tmo version
[G4 General] centran:
Just waiting on root so I can keep my damn unlock screen without having to put in an 8 character password with numbers and special characters every time I want to unlock my phone.

I might just bite the bullet and buy touchdown for $20 because I heard it doesn't need to apply the permissions to your whole phone but just the app.
[G4 General] flippingout:
This. I have used Smart Lock on my N5 with no problems even though we are required to have a PIN. Fired up the G4 and immediately noticed once I setup email Smart Lock was grey and can't be used. I thought that by switching to Gmail for my Exchange email I could get around that only to find Gmail doesn't have Exchange support on this phone (until I found this thread).

Has anyone that has followed the instructions at the top been able to get Smart Lock working when Gmail is used for Exchange email? Or does Touchdown get around this?

I am going to test this out tonight - can't goof around too much while on the job!!
[G4 General] geoff5093:
Does that also sync your calendar and contacts?

Outlook bypasses the security requirement, but it appears to only sync email, not calendars or contacts. You get prompted that Exchange wants you to accept these changes, but you have an option to deny them.
[G4 General] centran:
I'll have to look at that new outlook app closer then. It prompted me for the security permissions to wipe phone, pin, and all that crap so I exited out.

Touchdown is supposed to be all one contained environment so I don't think it syncs with the default apps. I could be wrong as I have never tried it since I always got a PIN bypasser working on my old phones. It is free for a month so try it out! I don't care about contacts and it would be nice to have calendar but I'm not heartbroken over it. What I would like to know is if you still get a notification of new mail. I would assume so but aren't allowed to preview it which is fine but I at least need to know I have mail.
[G4 General] geoff5093:
Yeah that request seems to be standard whenever you setup Outlook, regardless of app. It was when it came to the lock screen settings, it allowed me to dismiss it.
[G4 General] centran:
I just tried the Outlook app and it required far less permissions then adding an exchange email through the android/lg settings. The regular settings wanted pretty much everything. Wipe, disable camera, password type, password length, password expiration, encrypt phone, disable sd card, etc etc. It had everything and probably because my company just checked everything. Now the question is if it would really do any of those things probably not because that it a further settings in Exchange but it just wants to be able to do all that.

The Outlook just wanted password rules, unlock attempts, lock screen, and encrypt phone. It asked to encrypt and I said no and phone still works. I was able to keep pattern lock screen but it disabled everything else besides pin and password. The Outlook app does not integrate well with Android so everything is contained in it's own app. I don't think it does notifications either since I sent an email and waited a good 10 minutes. My phone never went off but I open the app the email shows up but never as a notification.

So maybe the Outlook app will get you by for the time being.
[G4 General] Halfwalker:
Hrm - I'm on an LG G4 (EU H815 model, unlocked). No Google Exchange Services visible or available in the Play Store ...

I also have an old Galaxy S3 running 5.1.1 (PacMan rom) - that has Gmail with Exchange working just fine. It has the same version of Gmail as on the G4, but also has "Exchange Services" running. I can't find any other information on that though.

[EDIT] I just checked the link in the OP which looks like the latest apk, but the button for Play Store doesn't work - URL doesn't exist.

Quick question - I haven't disabled LG Exchange on the G4 yet - when I do it says that the app will be hidden from then on. What if one wants to re-enable it - will it still be visible on the Apps menu ?

TIA

D -
[G4 General] tourbound129:
Yes, just go to your apps in settings and it will be under 'disabled'.
[G4 General] Halfwalker:
Just switched things over, and Gmail Exchange is working nicely now :)
[G4 General] j6nguyen:
Have you been able to figure this out? I have coworkers on a N6, N5, and a HTC One (M7), who all have our Corporate E-mail linked to their phone via either gmail or the htc e-mail app. They can all access their respective Smart Lock settings. On my phone, its grayed out.
[G4 General] player911:
Confused on what this does? Just lets you add a second exchange account to gmail? Are emails mixed together or do they remain separated? I like having my Email and Gmail in 2 different apps. I also like the LG email app.
[G4 General] Joe USer:
It lets you add Exchange accounts to the Gmail client, just like Nexus phones. They can be separated or mixed, it depends on how you want to view them.

In that case, skip all the steps and you'll be good. :D
[G4 General] player911:
Haha! Skipped all the steps and it works GREAT!
[G4 General] Halfwalker:
Just caught something (after quite a while it seems) ... I don't have outgoing email via exchange. The settings for the exchange account in the gmail app are identical to the settings on my old phone (Galaxy S3) which works perfectly. Sending a test with the old phone has the email arriving within a few seconds. WIth the G4, nothing. The mail server shows no log entries for the G4 trying to send email.

Anyone else having issues ? Any specific version(s) I should be looking for ?

<5 mins later> Just noticed a bunch of emails in the Outbox in the G4 gmail app. All queued waiting to send. So they're not even leaving the G4 at all ... Where can I find any log entries for this ?

<a little later> I downloaded and installed Exchange Services 6.5-1791555 from apkmirror for G4 initially. I do see a bunch of other versions, including 5.0.xxx for Android M preview 2 and so on. Any particular version to be used ?

So, specifically, the G4 has

6.5-1791555 (with no com.android type name)

The GS3 has two

com.google.android.gm.exchange

6.5-1533254

and

com.android.exchange

5.1.1-eng.build.20150614.081920
[G4 General] NinjaBuzz:
MailWise does exchange bypass if you enter a password from their website. Also allows multiple exchange accounts and syncs calendar and contacts.
[G4 General] slaytanic:
Use the app mailwise. Amazing app, and let's you bypass pin code if you wish
[G4 General] Halfwalker:
Mailwise works with exchange, so that's good. It doesn't work with gmail though ... I do have 2-factor turned on, and mailwise doesn't know how to handle that, it thinks it wants an app-specific password. Tried that, doesn't work.
[G4 General] flippingout:
I haven't found a solution yet. I was using OWA but that app is pure garbage. I just installed MailWise per the recommendation on this thread and so far so good.
[G4 General] Halfwalker:
OK, still no luck with exchange for gmail. The LG G4 is using the 6.5-1791555 version of Exchange Services, and it will fetch mail just fine, but can't send. This is the *only* device that it fails on - the Galaxy S3 (Pacman rom) works fine ...

Any ideas ? Should I try going back-level on Exchange Services ? Any way to actually debug/log what's going on ?

<2 minutes later> Augh. Now it's bloody working fine. I had deleted and recreated the exchange account in gmail, and a test failed - no delivery for a couple of hours. Then I just now noticed that the test email had gone through ... So I just sent another test, and poof, immediate delivery.

So, perhaps if anyone is having similar issues, delete and re-create the account ...
[G4 General] dannieloco:
this was excellent advice.. tho I can say that after force closing LG Exchange i had to reboot.. and then install google exchang. now it all works! finally.

Worked on LG v10
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnsonJ1988:
I can't seem to find out how to fix this problem. and was wondering if someone was able to help me. I updated to stock lollipop and changed roms to DomPop 2.2.3 and wanted to flash a different lollipop rom, but ss wont boot anymore once I use the NC2 flasher app. It just boots to a black screen, and wont do anything else. I have try using Odin and flashing the NC2 kernel that way, but it doesn't help. Once I reboot the phone in download mode I can flash back to OC1 no problem and use the current installed rom, but can't get ss to work. I have uninstalled busybox and ss a couple times, and it gives me the same thing. Would Flashfire be an easier alternative? Otherwise, would I use odin to flash a different rom/files, and get ss working that way?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoldieSlayer:
I would just Odin back to NC2 and use [MENTION=2787634]walterwhite[/MENTION]'s lollipop rooted Rom just make sure you install Supersu, busybox, an SafeStrap before upgrading to his lollipop an you should be goldin'..
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnsonJ1988:
I got it to work using that method. Thank you for the help.

[G4 Original Android Development] nickfury:
Great work guys.

Getting my device soon hopefully. I understand that we can unlock the boitloader via the unlock.bin file and the fastboot flash the twrp recovery.

But how do we get root [MENTION=608699]wolfgart[/MENTION]?
[G4 Original Android Development] wolfgart:
once you have TWRP'd just flash supersu.zip

;)
[G4 Original Android Development] nickfury:
I was thinking exactly that. Thanks for confirming [MENTION=608699]wolfgart[/MENTION] Much appreciated.

Now to see if it will work for h815t variant. I will try try it on my h815 and then my cousins t version
[G4 Original Android Development] Daptonic:
Awaiting the outcome of your testing ... I have an 815T as well. No bootloader unlock for that one yet though :(
[G4 Original Android Development] nickfury:
So have you tried the official unlock method that has been outlined by lg for unlocking the bootloader for the h815 ( but in your case the h815t)? As in have you tried to enter the device Id of the h815t to see if you are actually able to download the unlock.bin file from the lg website or whether the website denies it?

Sorry I don't have the t version on me right now to try it out, but will do in a couple of days
[G4 Original Android Development] the_scotsman:
So we just unlock at the LG website (any other way to unlock yet?), then TWRP, then root?
[G4 Original Android Development] Daptonic:
I haven't as it specifically states " G4 (H815) for EU open market " ... which is not what I have. I'm in no rush and I'd rather get an exploit that doesn't officially void the warranty.
[G4 Original Android Development] nickfury:
Correct, if you have the h815 model
[G4 Original Android Development] the_scotsman:
Yep, sure do. Tempting...not too fussed about about warranty, but would rather not void it if another way is found soon. What are the chances of this? I'd guess not very likely? I'm only familiar with HTC, no LG dev.
[G4 Original Android Development] nickfury:
I think you misunderstand the very first bit of the unlocking procedure. Before you do any messing around ie flashing twrp, root etc, you need the unlock.bin file to unlock your bootloader, which is a very straightforward method outlined by lg.

As for your other concern, you can kiss your warranty goodbye as soon as you unlock the bootloader, as stated by lg. So if that is your worry then don't even bother with this process

---------- Post added at 11:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------
[MENTION=278202]the_scotsman[/MENTION]

As mentioned above, if warranty is your priority, then you shouldn't go down this path.

As for me I am importing the devices, so I don't have warranty to start with lol
[G4 Original Android Development] the_scotsman:
Nah, warranty isn't a priority. I always unlocked and rooted my HTC flagships on the day I got them. I'm just new to LG, but it's not really any different. Just need to take that step and void it :laugh:
[G4 Original Android Development] Daptonic:
I understand that I need the file ... for the official method. But that doesn't mean some crafty dev here @ XDA won't come up with a way that doesn't need it. Also, since the 815T, which I have, is NOT currently supported by the official unlock tool, your reply is moot.

There is subtle difference between going to their site, putting in my info and clearly voiding my warranty versus using an unofficial method and maybe sneaking in a replacement if things go pear shaped. I'm not worried about voiding my warranty, but why burn a bridge for no reason?

I thank you for your concern, but this isn't my first rodeo.

wrong DATE/Time

Hi did someone else noticed that twrp has wrong date/time? it shows some 19.01.2015 and @3:00PM shows that is 3:AM - timezone correctly set to CET(UTC+1 +daylight). I even try to go to twrp's terminal and set date time(date -s linux command)-it worked but only till restarting TWRP then it has again wrong time.

How do I access TWRP with hardware keys?

Feeling quite stupid to tell you the truth! :)

How do I access TWRP (which is flashed as recovery)? When I hold the volume down button and power the only options I get are factory reset and reboot. Nothing else?

I managed to root the device by running the twrp image and flashing supersu. Now I can access recovery using the "quick boot" program and it works. But how do I access it using hardware keys before the boot procedure?

I get a red triangle dead android, upon reboot any suggestions?

I was able to install root using

C:\>fastboot.exe boot twrp-2.8.7.0-h815.img

I then tried to install TWRP via "twrp manager", however it says that twrp 2.8.7 is already installed and I can not find the LG G4 on the drop-down list, however reboot into recovery still shows a dead android, and no luck. Lastly I tried to flash 2.8.6.1 and then upgrade it using twrp managerbut since I can not locate the G4 on the list and it does not detect the device when I have 2.8.6.1 installed that does not work either, at least for the moment I have root, but I can not figure out what is going wrong, all commands succeed, but recovery is not boot-able.

Tried 2.8.6.0, 2.8.6.1 and 2.8.7.0 none of them work.

[G4 Original Android Development] Mad_Duke:
Hei! And how do you access the Recovery when phone is turned off?

I can as I said earlier enter it using the quick boot app etc. But no way to access it directly when the phone is off.
[G4 Original Android Development] 0rigin:
Really?

Hold vol down and power button at the same time, after the LG logo appears, let go of the power button for 1s(don't let go the vol down), then press and hold it again until the menu appears, then choose 2x yes.

Also... ce vidis Hrvata, zakleni vrata. Lp
[G4 Original Android Development] Mad_Duke:
Thanks!

First time I've flashed recovery (sucessfully) and couldn't access it I did that and guess what. It did the factory reset. Maybe this time rooting it and installing through recovery helped. Anyhow. Just wanted to be sure because first time I didn't do a nandroid and was pissed of like hell. :)
