My problem is slightly getting me desperate at this moment. but I do know there must be a way to fix it.

I have an LG G3 D855 phone. Runs on Android 5.0. I have rooted it a couple of months ago, had no issues with it, but in the last few days my phone ceased connecting to the Google Play store. Mainly all the Google Play services are inactive because the phone couldn't connect with my Google account. It kept asking me to Retry, but with no success.

While still rooted I took notice of a method that could've been the solution to this problem - edit the hosts file with a text editor by placing a # in front of the 2nd row of numbers, although the example number given as an instance wasn't matching the form of the number written in the hosts file on the 2nd row. I tried placing it on both rows, each at a time, but with no success as for some reason the hosts file would not change despite saving and exiting. The hosts file is as it was before at the moment, I suppose, with no modification.

My last choice was to factory reset my phone. Which I did. But the problem was still there - ''Can't establish a reliable connection to the server.'' it says this time around. I figured that upgrading the firmware of the phone would fix things, so I went in the SuperSU app settings and tapped 'Full unroot'. It would take forever the first time, so I restarted my phone and the 2nd time it seemed to have worked - the SuperSU app would stop working each time I tried accessing it. I rebooted my phone and the SuperSU was no longer there. However when I tried upgrading the software of my phone it wouldn't let me as my phone is suspected of having been rooted. I read on the internet that there is a more manual way of unrooting your phone by using a root explorer app and deleting some files yourself.

Here's the catch - at the moment I have no internet browser on my phone nor access to the store to download any apps whatsoever. So I'm stuck like this.

I'd appreciate it tons and worlds if any of you could guide me on what to do. A last method would be to flash the phones ROM again or something like that. Keep in mind that I've been an Android user since March and this phone is my first Android phone. I don't have all that much experience, so detailed explanations are really welcome!

Thanks for the help in advance!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Brad4891:
So I want to switch from my s5 to the 6E but is it really worth it to get over the regular 6 in your guys opinions? I have the 64GB in Black probably. And coming from an S5 to the Edge, is there any major differences on this phone while using ODIN to root? Anything I should be aware of before I try to root the phone, or what recovery should I be using.... I dont not want a brick lol and just want to be on the safe side. I haven't done this stuff in over a year so I feel very far behind everyone else. Thanks

Edit- I also have a macbook so will I be affected at all trying to root my phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] PanchoPlanet:
If you can use a stock phone that works great out of the box, with all its premium features working, that can make /receive calls all day, text, multitask like a boss and take super photos like a premium camera and have a unique look that NO Other Phone has. Get yourself a GS6 Edge.

If you want root and custom roms & features, stay with your S5 until the Dev's figure out how to get past the bootloader securities that Samsung has put in place to prevent anything custom from being flashed to the phone.

There are procedures for rooting and custom recovery that claim it works but you trip Knox, lose fingerprint scanner, lose call audio and some other stuff I can't remember right now.

??? In my book they don't work. ???

Balls in your court.

I was looking forward to root, but not until it's foolproof, for now I'm really enjoying my Gold stock GS6E with great battery life and a look that everyone wants to touch.

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Pretty much the current story is:

- Want root on 5.0.2 without tripping Knox? No problem, so long as you haven't upgraded to 5.1.1 (OF6) yet. Reasonably high chances that new phones are shipping with 5.1.1 already.

- Want root on 5.1.1? You'll need a custom kernel that disables dm_verity and sets SEAndroid to Permissive. But flashing a custom kernel will void Knox.

- Want root on 5.1.1 but without tripping Knox? You'll need an engineering bootloader before flashing anything. Side-effects currently include: no fingerprint scanner. In-call audio seems to be working now, if you're running the correct [custom] kernel for your device.

- Want root on 5.1.1 without tripping Knox and without any side-effects? Too bad. :(

- Want root on 5.1.1 without any side-effects, and don't care about Knox? Easy, and it's working great.

Edit: Forgot to mention, if you're on a Verizon or Sprint device... good luck. Last I hear, due to locked bootloaders, 5.1.1 = no root whatsoever.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] PanchoPlanet:
Don't forget any new phones recently purchased after June update will only have 5.1.1 firmware. No 5.0.2 .

Stay with your GS5. Development for this phone (S6 and S6e) is going at the speed of fart. I'm a flashoholic. I've owned the phone for less than two months and am already extremely bored with it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
I mentioned that, kinda. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] The Root:
They're just 2 different phones. Not even sure there's such thing as better. S6 will have faster updates which i think is due to elimination of sd card support and sealed battery which people find as a detractor. Camera is better with s6 and has silent option without turning off all phone sounds. Quick charging on a regular sized port is good on S6. I like the edge for lazy scrolling of not reaching around the bezel on S6 Edge. I do think the screen looks nicer on the S6 as well. I'd really say to play with it at the store and decide. I use my wife's S5 for stuff and find that it's just fine. Not brave enough to test the waterproofing on a phone that's not mine, but my friend in Cali takes pictures in the pool with his and I think that it's a good feature as long as nothing goes wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Brad4891:
Thanks guys for the quick replies!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Brad4891:
Great info!!! Will keep in mind all of this. And I'm on Tmobile... Will prob wait for the devs to get this figured out. I like flashing roms due to less bloat ware and usually a good solid battery life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] The Root:
The ROMs will probably be mainly TW-based if the Exynos thing hasn't been overcome for AOS/KP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] UniX1rm:
S6 edge. I rooted this bad boy and tripped the Knox no problem and using a stock rom which is much faster with awesome battery life.

There are no carrier specific threads for Nexus 6 because there is really no differences in the builds. Any build will work on any Nexus just as an Nexus will work on any carrier. Barring, of course, the international models which will still work on domestic carriers, just not equipped with hardware to pick up domestic LTE bands.

Therefore, there's no need for carrier specific forums. Yes, certain builds have carrier specific software but those builds will still run on any Nexus.

There are a few threads in general and in Q&A regarding Project Fi. :)

I have been reading about unlocking phones and noticed Sprint doesn't seem to be complying with the new laws I have a nokia Lumina prepaid from Boost and want to activate with Metro PCS But according to Sprint I have to have service on the device for a year is that even legal? I don't have a contract with them so how can they do this? I should be able to get a carrier unlock after 90 days with a contract I assumed it should be easier without one
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] whodisname:
You just need to ask them to give you the msl. Or just root and get it yourself. Then you have to manually update the prl and something else. Its in the menu with the update option.

Sprint is garbage though.

You might have to flash the TOT / KDZ for your model. You might also want to try letting your phone fetch the update.zip again, in case that corrupted. Flashing TOT then upgrading always worked for me.

[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieresys:
I have bricked my phone. It's stucked in a boot loop.

I

had

an up-to-date, non-rooted, locked XT1524. Since 3G and 4G didn't work on my country, first I tried flashing the modem and baseband from a retail XT1527 stock ROM. The flashing went OK, but 3G and 4G still didn't work (as happened to pablo_cba in this thread).

Then I turned my common sense off and tried flashing the whole XT1527 ROM. I though that since they were stock ROMs I didn't have any need to root the phone (or install TWRP). And since I was flashing the same version I had, I didn't need to unlock the bootloader either. Wrong! The ROM I flashed was version 5.1 (23.29-15), and my current ROM at the moment was 5.0 (22.50-X). Since I haven't unlocked the bootloader, I can't go back to the retail XT1524 stock ROM published here.

I was able to flash gpt.bin and bootloader.img, but things went south on boot.img. Now the bootloader is stuck with the following error:

version downgraded for boot
failed to validate boot image

Trying to flash boot.img (or system) fails with error:

hab check failed for boot
Failed to verify hab image boot

Trying to go back to XT1524 ROM fails with:

version downgraded for aboot

Trying to unlock the bootloader fails with:

Enable OEM Unlock

Which is obvious because I haven't enabled it on the phone, but it sucks because I can't boot and enable it.

So, here goes my questions:

- What does the "hab check failed" means? Is there any way to bypass it and finish flashing the XT1527 ROM?

- Is there any way to unlock the bootloader without enabling it first on developer settings?

- Is there anything I can do other than waiting that 5.1 gets rolled to XT1524 phones, and that a stock ROM for it gets leaked?

Thanks a lot for your kindly help!
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squid2:
Ah, I know exactly what happened. The good news is that your device is not bricked. The bad news is that you will need to wait a few weeks for the XT1524 5.1 stock images to be released.

The CID is a one byte Motorola specific value that indicates which region your device is for. Boot and system images are signed by Motorola tools that sign for a specific CID. The bootloaders for Motorola phones are signed with qualcomm tools that do not care about CIDs. As a result, you can flash a bootloader meant for a device with a different CID, but you can't flash a boot or system image for a different CID (while bootloader locked).

Since the bootloader is not CID specific, you were able to flash the new bootloader. The new bootloader blows fuses to increment the security version and prevent rollback. It will not allow you to flash an older boot and system image, since they may contain vulnerabilities. Now, the bootloader won't allow you to flash anything except a new 5.1 ROM signed for your CID.

I'd recommend just waiting a few weeks for the signed official 5.1 images for XT1524 to be released.

If you can't wait and are willing to take your phone apart and void the warranty and solder onto stuff, you can circumvent the Factory Reset Protection feature to unlock your bootloader. I don't recommend doing this, but it can be done. You will need to solder onto test points for the flash (that will be located underneath shielding cans). Writing 0x01 to the last byte of the frp partition will enable bootloader unlocking. Once again, I don't recommend doing this, I'm just stating what is possible.

EDIT: It might be worth a try seeing if Motorola will do something under warranty. The challenge will be to explain your problem in a manner that will not make them consider it to have been damaged by you. I don't know what they will think of your issue.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puertagustavo99:
The exact thing happened to me. I think that the 5.1 firmware will arrive soon to your device. I took to my carrier, and they gave a new one in 2 weeks. I think that Motorola won't help you, as you requested the bootloader code.

Hey all,

I don't know what's up with my Wizard lately, but it's just gotten real slow and frequently restarts itself, with the occasional freeze in between. The battery drain has also gotten ridiculous (about 6-7 hours).

Yes, I know I have myself to blame with the whole WM6 install and everything, but I'd thought I could turn to you, this fine group, to give me some hints on how to figure out WHAT is going on...

After restart (which takes about 2-4 minutes) my Program Mem only have about 14-18 MBs, which pretty quickly (30 mins) decreases to below 10...

Running IshSofts taskmanager with Slide2Unlock in the background and below today plugins... it will Idle at 60-61% with flashes of up to 100%.

I'm using the following Today Plugins in WM6 environment (Ti2):

PhoneAlarm

PocketBreeze with:

- Calendar

- WeatherPanel (Updating every 30mins)

- PocketRSS (Updating on ActiveSync)

- Smart Dial

- BatteryStatus (with WLAN rows and CPU usage and DataLog)

- Contacts

I'm also checking my IMAP e-mail every 15 mins...

That's it! :)

Anyone have any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

Thanks in advance,

[G2 Android Development] Lawlrus:
Well if you used rasheds, you might want to test your download mode as people have reported it being broken.

If you forked them from dr gravy you should be fine, but honestly I'd suggest linking to the official gits as opposed to redirecting them to one of yours.
