lg g2 mini d620r

Thanks for your helpfull messages. This method is worked for my LG G2 mini D620r. It is a simple way to unbrick/unHARDbrick to your phone, if you can find a way to finish your battery. This is the same subject here. I want to add somethings.

I tried to unlock my bootloader too. But my phone is bricked so my phone

* cant open; only black screen.

* cant connect to pc; pc cant see my phone so doesnt work adb/fastboot mode.

* cant reboot recovery or download mode.

! but my phone shows an empty battery icon warning, if I remove the battery and connect my phone to charger.

When I read this i didnt believe this will works for me. But when i found the same method in this thread, i give it a try, and it WORKED for me too :)

1.a find a cable; short and thin, find something which works 1 AA/AAA or 2 AA/AAA; it may be a flashlight/torch or a toy or something like that.

1b. find a good condition usb data cable.

2. a led like that.. You can find it easy in your home. I used my old battery charger led :) or you can buy it.

3. uninstall all LG programs; LG USB driver, LG pc suite, LG *.* (reboot).

4. download and reinstall only LG-Mobile-Usb Driver(reboot). (maybe 3 and 4 are not necessary but i did)

5. remove your battery from phone, and connect it to your torch(flashlight, toy) with a cable. Yo can see +, - symbol on your battery and torch. Wait until your torch doesnt give light.

6. connect your battery to led and wait until led turn off. It maybe take long time, be patient.

7. put your battery on phone and push power button; if you cant see anything it is normal because your battery is completly drain or if you see an empty battery icon it is normal again because your battery is about %0, so 2 possible things but both of them are normal and enough/good.

8. connect your usb cable to your pc.

9. while pressing volume + plug your phone to usb cable and hold on(~10second).

10. If nothing happened dont worry, unplug your phone and go 9. (read 11)

11. If you tried more than five go 6 and keep try. (because your battery now ~%1, you should drain it again)

12. If you see the screen that tells you to keep holding that volume up button, you should be holding that button.

13. If you've reached the download mode screen you may sing your happy song now (I did too).

14. Now flash your kdz (if you want me to post a how-to link, just ask).

dont worry it will works. try again and again and agian... I tried more than 5. Good luck.

Thanks again, Thomas and panagiotisden2.

HI I'm asking whether this will work for Lg G2 Mini

I unlocked bootloader and patched it will it still work ???
[LG G2 Mini] thomasikdus:
I did this on a LG G2 Mini so yeah it should work for you too.
[LG G2 Mini] cebir98:
İt is amazing but yes, probably it will works.

Hi All

ive purchased a kindle fire off ebay and its stuck at the boot logo, the screen stays bright and the logo has the animated shimmer go through it

windows dose'nt recognize the device, no dings or anything when plugged in, just completely nothing no unknown devices popping up etc

i tried the kindle recovery tool.. but just says waiting for device, i have tried several PC's (both windows 10 though) and same issues

any ideas?

i have many spare USB cables so i can make a factory cable by jumping pins if required
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
kindle fire 1?

no camera?

no volume buttons?

i don't think current kindle fire 1 firmware will work with unbricking tool, and you will need a fastboot cable.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allenjamieson:
Fastboot cable worked awesomely! thankyou for the advice

All reviews I've seen range from claiming that the Moto X (2015) is mediocre but solid, to being the savior of Android in 2015.

It did make Wired's top 3 phones, along with Galaxy S6+ and iPhone 6.
[X Style (Pure) General] DROID3R:
They are calling it "higher-end midranger"
[X Style (Pure) General] Fantach:
Midrange? Mediocre? I mean its not the top of the flight device but its still on par with lg g4, they basically have the same specs. The camera might not be so good on low light but lets wait and see, if the device is stable with stock android, does not over heat, have a regular updates and its made of fine material i cant see that any review will stop me from buying it :good:

Edit: oh, and i almost forgot the battery, hope its not that bad :)
[X Style (Pure) General] Aridon:
I'm holding off for root and hands on reviews from people here. No reason to rush out but I can't wait to see how much activity this forum gets over the coming weeks.
[X Style (Pure) General] Fantach:
I live in Europe so by then i hope i ll get pretty much good picture about the device, lets hope for the best :victory:
[X Style (Pure) General] Geordie Affy:
I just watched the Verge review of this phone on YouTube. The worste review ever ... If I didnt know any better I'd say the Style is crap after wathing that. That guy needs to be sacked - Useless!
[X Style (Pure) General] Fantach:
Couldnt agree more, the weird thing is that the score at the end of the written review is not bad at all but watching the video review part is like they guy is talking about different phone. They probably think that apple makes perfect phones :laugh:
[X Style (Pure) General] markwebb:
I couldn't agree more! In fact, I bought my first Apple Iphone: 6+ (second hand at reduced price on Swappa) and let me tell you, I don't know what all the fuss is about. Slow, inefficient OS. I don't understand why people are devoted to Iphones, other than build quality and camera (which is now a moot point). Makes no sense. I am re-selling on Swappa or ebay..and it is now my last Iphone. :)
[X Style (Pure) General] maigre:
Strange reviews from the sites linked to in this thread. Reading them, I don't know much about the phone that I didn't to begin with. The camera gets some attention, but things like the speakers and the specifics of the display don't. How good do the speakers sound? What do they sound like? How's the volume? There's some mention that the HTC BoomSound speakers are better. That's fine. But some detail? More importantly, what about the display? A few reviewers complained that it's not as good as the AMOLED is on Samsung devices. Personally, I don't much care for AMOLED displays, though they have their strengths. How accurate are the colors on the new Style? Are the whites bright and genuinely white? (They aren't on AMOLED displays, a major problem, at least for me.)

I'm not one to study benchmarks extensively. Some general info about them is fine for me. But I do want some detail. Just saying "I like it" or "I don't like it" doesn't do anyone any good.

I suppose that the reviews we get from the geekier sites will fill in a few blanks. That and feedback from early users here.
[X Style (Pure) General] Aridon:
I completely agree. The Engadget review seems the best one so far. Verge was terrible.
[X Style (Pure) General] adibeckett:
Based on these reviews, the battery doesn't seem too great, just mediocre. Hopefully we'll get better reviews from mkhd and/or android authority.

If the battery is that bad, I may hope the Huawei Nexus has a bigger battery and is around the $400 price range. If not, hopefully the Motorola Force? That is if it isn't a Verizon exclusive and the price is around $400.

Last resort is the Oneplus 2.
[X Style (Pure) General] ziich:
I know it will take a while but I will wait for Erica Griffin's or anandtech's review of this phone and maybe get it on sale on blk friday.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[X Style (Pure) General] joshuadjohnson22:
I bet Erica will hate the screen. She is big on amoled/warm screens so probably will talk about how much she hates the screen. I'll bet you a "thanks" on that ?
[X Style (Pure) General] maigre:
If she hates the screen, but gives a good description of what it looks like, at least we'll have some useful information. Where does she write?
[X Style (Pure) General] joshuadjohnson22:
Normally youtube, she is huge on displays and will run all sorts of tests on it.

On another note I found this review helpful https://youtu.be/dfPPEDWqRxI
[X Style (Pure) General] rm40f2:
That CNET review really glorified the Note 5. As an owner of the Note 4, I know it's strengths. The Note 5 shares none of those strengths. And I know its weaknesses. The Note 5 shares them all.

Sorry Samsung, you're dead to me. Can't wait for my Moto X.
[X Style (Pure) General] rjayflo:
Bloomberg did a nice review
[X Style (Pure) General] joshuadjohnson22:
Yeah I agree, I posted it in the last page. I think it is my favorite so far
[X Style (Pure) General] gpz1100:
Waiting on a real review from a site such as anandtech. It'd be interesting to see various benchmark scoring, single thread/multithread results.
[X Style (Pure) General] rsmiff:
Bootloader unlock instructions already exist. Root and the rest can't be far behind.
[X Style (Pure) General] Aridon:
I put it in the OP. Also added the Engadget video review.

Was an OK review, little short but not bad.
[X Style (Pure) General] Cremacious:
The Verge was so biased it hurt. I trust MKBHD's reviews the most, but I bet it will be a bit before he has one out.
[X Style (Pure) General] cronoc:
Anyone have some idea of when we'll be seeing more in depth reviews?
[X Style (Pure) General] jonathanbailie:
Hopefully soon. I'd love to see some really in-depth reviews of this device. I've already preordered mine, so they won't have any effect, but still, I love a detailed review. Erica Griffin, Anandtech, and Tested are the ones I usually look out for. I check out Pocketnow and Androidcentral reviews too, but they're usually not too in-depth.
[X Style (Pure) General] Geordie Affy:
I'm waiting for Mobiletechreview .... do awesome reviews.
[X Style (Pure) General] pinoymutt:
Notice none of the "reviews" came from regular Android review sites (i.e. Android Central, Android Police, Droid Life, etc). I'll wait for those.
[X Style (Pure) General] Geordie Affy:
True, i wounder why that is.
[X Style (Pure) General] ziich:
I think Moto sent early press review units to the verge, Bloomberg, CNET Engadget first because they are 'bigger' sites/publications/reviewers etc whatever you want to call them. With them phone now on pre order we will probably see the reviews from the regular sites around the earliest quoted delivery dates
[X Style (Pure) General] AnaMayShun:
I want to see what MKBHD has to say about the phone.
[X Style (Pure) General] sherif2015:
The only one to look for his review on the moto phones and the x in particular is Michael Fisher a.k.a. [MENTION=4075020]captain2[/MENTION]phones from pocketnow. he has used them since the 2013 original x and it has been his daily driver followed by the x 2014. In particular watch his reviewed of the x, the turbo and the nexus. He is an expert on everything moto related and he was the only reason I bought mine back in 2013. [MENTION=4399028]MKBHD[/MENTION] is good and all but he switched phones too often you can't get a real world review out of him unlike Michael and especially his after the buzz episodes of the moto line.
[X Style (Pure) General] Ulver:
I agree. I like Michael Fisher's reviews.

Sent from my Xiaomi Mi4
[X Style (Pure) General] redeyss:

Phil and Jerry at AC were fans of the first two moto x phones and used them as daily drivers for awhile. I'm waiting patiently for their review.

not a dedicated review, but the Pocketnow weekly episode 165 is up on YouTube. They talk about the MXP for a bit. I've linked to it, and the conversation starts at about 57 minutes in. Haven't listened to it yet, as soon as I got to it, I posted this. Excited to see what they say!

Edit: just watched it and I think she was great in the review. Seemed pretty unbiased, and she ended up with a good conclusion of a solid phone for the money. I think Motorola has a hit on their hands!
[X Style (Pure) General] robertc88:
So where is the thread for YOUR review, the other one started got closed down. I appreciate the links for professional reviews but I want YOUR review. Heck there are a bunch on amazon already, nobody here has the Pure yet or am I in the wrong thread? :)
[X Style (Pure) General] Bootup:
I was thinking same thing. [MENTION=2566962]Tony_Stark[/MENTION] closed down that thread that was clearly set up to be personal reviews instead of 'professional' ones, yet the Note 5 has a whole FORUM (http://xdaforums.com/note5/review) just for personal reviews.

[X Style (Pure) General] [bman123]:
I'll post my thoughts on the phone, I had a nexus 6 before the moto x.

Screen- its bright and crisp, I have no trouble viewing the screen when outside at 60% brightness. Inside I can use the phone with brightness almost all the way down, I'd say maybe at 10% brightness if that. The whites are white and blacks aren't as good as amoled but we all know this already, the colors are nice and its not over saturated like amoled. I'm very happy with the screen and the size is very good

Speakers- Not as good as htc boomsound, but they are loud and clear. Makes listening to music, watching movies a great experience. Very happy with the speakers.

Build quality- No complaints what so ever about this, sure its not a galaxy note 5 but its like half the price and built very well. For the price you pay its built great

Signal- Very good, I didn't get lte on the nexus 6 in my basement at all. I get 2-3 bars of lte now in the same location and I don't get the time with no signal in battery stats at home. Lte is very fast

Battery- Could they of put a bigger battery in here? Hell yeah, is it needed? Not at all. I just finished day two and got 4.5 hours of SOT on WiFi and I plugged the phone in at 15% battery. I'm sure I could of hit 5 hours easily. 90 minutes of it was talking on the phone on speaker phone while browsing the web. I don't get the whole I need all day SOT, live life and get off the phone every once in a while.

Software- Stock Android with the added moto features, what's not to love here., it really takes stock Android to a whole new level.

Camera- The camera isn't bad at all and a upgrade from the nexus 6 for sure. It focuses fast and takes good pics in daylight. The low light performance could be better for sure but for a moto phone this camera is nice and they are going in the right direction now.

Performance- The phone is fast, I haven't noticed any lag anywhere. I think it's as smooth as the nexus 6 was for sure. I don't game so I can't comment on the gpu, sorry about this.

Size- I see a lot of people complain about this saying it's huge. I don't think it is at all. I can one hand text on this phone just fine. It's tall but not super wide, i don't think it's too heavy either.

Storage- I wish they would of started at 32gb minimum but at least you have SD card support to fix that. It's a nice option for people that use SD cards. Good job moto

Charger- this thing is a absolute monster, charges close to 2% per minute. I don't like the fact that it comes wired from the wall plug to the USB connector, if the cable or end plug goes bad your stuck buying a whole new charger instead of replacing a USB cable. Let's be honest tho, most of us have numerous chargers and charge cables laying around the house so it isn't a huge deal.

Overall I am very happy with the phone and glad that I switched from the nexus 6 to the moto x pure. It's well worth the $399.99 starting price. Hopefully moto pushes updates out fast since the phone is (pure). This is a very good unlocked phone, the price is right and performance is great
[X Style (Pure) General] biggiestuff:
How's the battery life compared to your nexus 6 and the speakers compared to the nexus 6? I'm trying to figure out if I still want to make the jump from the nexus 6 to the moto pure.
[X Style (Pure) General] [bman123]:
Battery life is better on the moto x pure then my nexus for sure. I had a signal bug on the nexus where it would randomly drop signal causing a ton of time with no signal and killing the battery. Google nexus 6 signal issue and you'll see many posts about it.

The speakers seam about the same as the nexus 6, they might be better they might not I honestly can't tell the difference.

The moto x seems like a much better phone to me, it handles so much better then the huge nexus and the screen ksnt that much smaller
[X Style (Pure) General] vnphantom:
It doesn't. With Moto Display, the screen turns on as you approach it. No need to double tab. [emoji6]

[X Style (Pure) General] pavel2109@012.net.il:
Thank for information

Thank for information
[X Style (Pure) General] mprowland:
I actually went the opposite direction of [bman123. I purchased the Moto X pure to replace my Note 3. The first thing I immediately noticed is that the display was not as nice as the Note 3. This is obviously due to Amoled vs TFT, but still. The viewing angle is far better and the "darks" are infinitely better with Amoled. I'm a plasma TV lover and could not get past the display. Having said that, the MOTO X pure seems like a great phone. The build quality is perfectly fine and the display is on par with Amoled when NOT showing "blacks". I replaced the Pure with a Nexus 6. I love the the size of the screen AND that it's Amoled. Other than the screen being slightly bigger and Amoled, they seem basically the same to me. On a side Note...I think the average user gets caught up in specs a bit too much. The Pure or the Nexus don't seem any faster than my Note 3. My wife's Note 5 doesn't seem any better or faster than any phone I've used lately. Keep in mind that I am just a slightly above average user.
[X Style (Pure) General] antonior93:
Can you tell if it has an OIS for che camera? Thanks
[X Style (Pure) General] liqn7:

[X Style (Pure) General] Bootup:
Note 3? mannn My OPO blew away the Note 3, even when I went AOSP. Note 4, i can see it hanging with Pure but Note 3? You either had the worst pure or the best performing Note 3.
[X Style (Pure) General] mprowland:
I'm just an average user. My Note 3 was very fluid in every operation and so are the Pure and the Nexus 6. I probably wouldn't notice any considerable difference unless I was running benchmarks. A phone that was blazing fast two years ago is still blazing fast today(to me anyway,not on paper).
