[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zincsnow:
I have this problem too, but let me explain my situation. I have two Galaxy S6s.

1st non-root phone had this issue of GPS not being able to hold on fix. i used many different firmwares ranging from UK, UAE, France and Malaysia OFFICIAL FIRMWARES but they still didn't help iron out the issue. I then used smart switch to restore back to official ROM for my phone (Malaysia). I put the phone into download mode, used Smart Switch PC, selected emergency firmware recovery and installation, input my device number and serial number, then downloaded the ROM back into my phone, then after a week or so, my phone was back to normal (good GPS lock). I suspect it's the Baseband/modem issue (Every country has it's own baseband to work perfectly in)

2nd rooted phone on XstreStoLite V2.2. I realize that this phone also had the problem. but i still cannot fathom what is the problem. Could be the baseband that's not localized. But anyhow i use my non-rooted phone for GPS navigation. Could be you need to use it more often for it to run in first.

One more question. Modem and bootloader influence gps?

Enviado do meu SM-G920F através de Tapatalk
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zincsnow:
i believe the modem and bootloader affects the GPS because it's how your phone connects to the network. I have just tried the COH2 firmware on my non-rooted phone, and the GPS works like a charm!

I strongly suggest you wait for the COH2 ROM first, if you still think you GPS antenna has a defect, you can change your rear case at Samsung Service Centre (Which i did with my phone)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SanoJA:
Same problem as u. but found solution

Try this out. Stupid as hell but worked for me

I got the same problem but after looking for 5 hours. I just ah what a hell. I removed my aluminium cover. Observe its cut out for the gps antenna and main antenna in the back. And voila. Gps test found 28 sattelites and locked right away. Then put the cover back on. NOTHING. So it seems some covers disturb the antennas. But i still feel its strange as the cut out in back. So perhaps it still disturbs it when something is next to it. Let me know if it worked for u too. To remove your cover. Best regards from sweden.

Hello my friend, I don't have any cover in my phone. Is GPS defect for sure. :(

I accidentally ruined my LG G PAD F7.0 and

am stuck in a Google Play Services Error loop on my tablet

at the first time setup screen and it kicks me back to select the WiFi option i cant access the Android OS or home screen i tried both factory reset options

The Tablet was rooted but i believe the OS/Google Play services is damaged because of an app that wasn't supposed to be disabled that what im assuming....

What i wanna know is it possible someone can make a flash-able dump of their tablet from someone elses same model and if i can use it to restore this tablet back to working condition and if so how??

I also would like to know if any of the sites are the proper recovery files for this tablet:

[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] djerick3:
Ok bro, first thing you need is the LG Drivers which you can get here:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/g3...Ver_3.11.3.exe

Next you need the LG Flash Tool which you can get here:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/fw..._Tool_2014.zip

Then you need the stock rom which you can get from the sources you found or you can even just google it. Everything is pretty self explanatory. Make sure you're tablet is in d/l mode. If you have any more questions just ask. Good luck!!!

XXX01, did this work for you? I'd like to be prepared if I come across a problem like this. Also, has anyone had any luck flashing *any* custom rom on a 430? I see Cyanogen has release for 400 and 410, and I know this is a recent release, so I'm conflicted by how new the device is compared to how similar it might be to those others.
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] XXX01:

Did you get your stock ROM yet. I can pull it off one of mine if you still need it., I got two of them from Sprint just to save the activation fees on 3 other phones. I need to root them because they are way to slow. The hardware is way too small. Anyways, as soon as I figure out how to root them I can do a nan droid off the one I have never used so I won't even have to factory reset first. If you give me the steps you did to root yours it will save me time. How did you brick yours?

---------- Post added at 05:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 AM ----------

I need to know what recovery you used then you can flash it instead of having to use your PC.
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] GalaxyBlaze7438:
It's guides online on how to extract the firmware I'm not sure how to myself cause I need a way to get mine out of a bootloop
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] androodius:
Extracting a nan droid is easy enough. It is what you should have done as soon as you installed a recovery. t's just a back up. I need to use the same recovery you installed so it works on yours. After I back it up I will send you a link. You put it on your card and then restore from your recovery. It is key to always back up your firmware before you modify anything. If I make a back with the device that I haven't used it will be stock for you. I've never rooted a LG so I'm still looking for the method. I can compress it to a TAR if you want to flash it odin (or whatever is used for LG) but it is easiest just to install it as a restore. You can still power your device on to the recovery can't you?
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] GalaxyBlaze7438:
I didnt even get to the recovery part I rooted and try to reboot after installing supers u from King root and been looping ever since
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] androodius:
Getting it out of the boot loop is usefully not all that difficult. Did you try wiping the Dalvik and the cache? That will probably do it. If not what you need is the boot or kernel. Find the stock or the custom kernel and install it then wipe dalvik and cache.
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] GalaxyBlaze7438:
I think i need the boot.img or kernal and I can't find either anywhere I've looked and I've tried factory reset and nothing I have the stock recovery so j can't wipe dalvik
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] androodius:
A factory reset will wipe the dalvik. I will see what I can find tomorrow. When I get mine rooted you can use the boot image from my back up if I can't find one elsewhere. It's best to install a custom recovery. If your wanting the option to return to stock a good app is flashily. You can back up the boot loader and the kernel before you install a recovery and then use it to flash it back when you want to. It will even back it up to drop box so it doesn't get lost.

What method did you use to root?
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] GalaxyBlaze7438:
I used king root and I'm no rookie to the rooting Android thing I've been doin it for years I just can't find a recovery to flash or anything other then King root to root it and if i could get it to go past the splash screen I'd be able to fix it but I can't get it passed there unless I find those files
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] androodius:
Okay. I'll try that tomorrow and get back to you. I'll send you the files when I get it done. If the king root works for me I can pull the kernel with flashify then.
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] GalaxyBlaze7438:

[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] andrewwdai:
The firmware you mentioned is only the source code published by LG. This should be compiled into kdz and the you can flash it.
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] makane716:
Thanks for the info. After further research, it appears that the kdz file is almost impossible to find. Compiling it it is beyond my abilities.
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] andrewwdai:
I think what happened was that a lot of people got problems when they rooted this pad with Kingroot. Kingroot apparently did some damage to the system; therefore they needed to flash to stock. This reminds me of the risk of rooting a phone as it always states that do it at your own risk.

Since there is no custom recovery to this model, yet. The only option available is to either:

Update the system with a higher version via adb

Or flash kdz (or tot) using the LG Flashing Tool.

Neither of these methods are available because there is no file to update / flash on.
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] makane716:
Agreed. However, everything was working fine until I attempted to REMOVE Kingroot and replace it with Supersu. Oh well. At least my new paperweight only cost a dollar.
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] andrewwdai:
I always thought (and correct me if I am wrong) in order to flash supersu, you need to flash the binary via recovery. Even if you install the apk, it would ask you to reboot into recovery and finish the installation. Since there is no custom recovery, you should not have tried supersu.

If I were you, I would just wait a bit to see if anything comes from either LG or developers.
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] makane716:
There is an app "Supersu me". My understanding is, that it was designed to remove Kingroot and replace it with Supersu. I am aware that simply trying to uninstall one and replace it with the other would not work.
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] andrewwdai:
Just hang on there; I think someone should come up with some solution. I have two same exact pads: one is good and one is bad (can boot up but a lot of apps FC). I am thinking of do a system backup of the "good" one using Titanium, copy the backups to sd card, and do a restore via Titanium on the "bad" one. If I am successful, then I think I can share the backup with everyone.

Folks who can not even boot the pad will probably have less options.

[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] Doctor2016:
I can get into recovery mode, and I did a hard reset, but after reset, it still won't pass LG logo screen. I am assuming Kingroot or Supersu did something to its firmware. Please advise.
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] AbsolutelyProprietary:
Don't click that. Use the upgrade recovery option in the top-rigt corner menu.
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] makane716:
I'll amend the process I used. Lgmobile tools open on computer, tablet in download mode, connect via usb cable. Without doing anything, lgmobile tools tells me an update is available. Then I select upgrade recovery from the top right corner. Lgmobile tools then tells me I'm running the most current version (something like that). Then lgmobile tools sits there trying to establish a connection etc...etc.

I have done the same thing, Kingroot followed by super sume, now stuck at boot screen, is there any chance that the SD card slot can be used to solve this.

[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] makane716:
Yes. You could do so via adb. You would need a pc with Android sdk installed on it. You would want to make sure all the appropriate USB drivers were installed on the pc as well.

To my knowledge the device is so broken it barely boots into download mode. If you could boot into fastboot mode (try turning off the device, holding power down then plugging in the usb cable) you could theoretically flash the img files one by one if you find the proper kdz files.
