[Verizon LG G3] JPBeard21:
I have an idea that may be possible to achieve root on this build, it would need to flash the correct the correct partitions using the pin short method to the device into qhusb driver download mode, using boardconfig 2.99c and placing twrp onto either the recovery partition or even the laf partition as has been done on other lg devices to enable flashing the supersu zip. The original can be replaced after if this would work. Question is which partitions need to be in place to prevent security errors during boot. I know it involves a bumped image from 12b to do this. The scary part is boardconfig only says reflash boot, but instructions say you can flash the other partitions extracted from the .TOT file as well. Replacing recovery or laf with the twrp by renaming and replacing may work. Anyone more knowledgeable care to offer thoughts or insights to this possibility?
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
you probably want to confer with [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] or one of the other top lg specialist.
[Verizon LG G3] NBreunig3:
I can confirm King Root does work.
[Verizon LG G3] Dobrah:
My phone died in a deluge last night and I am wondering what to do next. I've had the phone since bump came out and have been running it with CM12.X for as long as I can recall. Root/TWRP are essential for me: I will throw my phone against a wall with OEM software, just out of pure frustration. Options are as follows: opinions are welcomed

1) Spend the $100 (manageable) and get a replacement G3 from Asurion. Definitely with the 5.1.1 software pre-installed. I don't have a windows machine so not sure if I can downgrade and bump/root the replacement phone. Not thrilled about dual booting my machine to OS X and Win7 but could do it if absolutely necessary.

2) Spend $500 (a pretty big spend) and get a Nexus 6p. Will forever be ready for root and custom software, but to me, pretty small upgrades over G3 (aluminum body, fingerprint sensor. the rest is only noise). I guess peace of mind that I'll never have this dilemma again.

Thoughts/advice before I pull the trigger on one of those options tonight.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'd stick with the G3 option, personally. Some people have been able to root 35B with the latest version of Kingroot/Kingoroot, whatever it's called - I haven't had a need to try. I'm not sure how easy it is to get TWRP installed since 23C and 24B needed some special arrangements to do so, and I haven't looked to see if [MENTION=3279781]bender_007[/MENTION] 's autorec app in the G3 (not Verizon) General section has been updated for 35B. If it has, that would make TWRP installation relatively pain free.

Oh, by the way, sorry to hear about your phone.
[Verizon LG G3] Dobrah:
Thanks man. I will get the G3. I think you're right, an extra $400 is a lot to spend on something I probably don't need. PS, we are in the same city.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Cool! :) You're welcome, and good luck!
[Verizon LG G3] dmoney98:
hello

prior to using kingroot, were you rooted on 24b?

did you take 35b OTA?

what was your phone software status b4 using kingroot (modified or official)?

thanks
[Verizon LG G3] Liegepk:
For me, I was on 35b and normal software status (not modified) and Kingrooted successfully. I didn't flash TWRP
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Just for knowledge, since Lollipop you can't take OTAs when you're rooted.
[Verizon LG G3] NBreunig3:
Correct. If you are modified your phone will brick it you take OTA. So I took the official 35B OTA and then rooted.
[Elephone P8000] speedtouch2006:
Hi folks,

Dead P8000 on my hands here, botched recovery flash, not even sure what happened there.

MTK phones are famous for being unbrickable but this case is a bit beyond me...

1. Phone is still detectable over USB on Windows, which is nice.

2. After pressing Download on SP Flash Tool, I connect the phone to the cable, but nothing happens.

3. This machine was previously able to flash the same phone without problems.

I've used SP Flash Tool to revive many phones before so I'm not exactly a noob with it but there's probably some hidden combination somewhere which I don't already know.

Any ideas? Thanks!
[Elephone P8000] Kapsalon:
The problem is in all likelyhood caused by your drivers. Try uninstalling the mediatek drivers with USBDeview, then reinstall them.

Hi,

Is there alternative camera app that can take advantage of the dual camera setup for taking "wide aperture" photos?

The built in one is OK but it could do with more features and settings...

Also in there a way of extracting depth information from images already taken?

Thanks.

Is it any chance to flash it with some firmvare with polish language?

[General Questions and Answers] DVB-T:
If [MENTION=4671410]matale0[/MENTION] You still have this problem and You are 100% sure that it is A800F - flash it by Odin with official software for UAE (CSC: XSG, current version A800FXXU1AOJ1) and after that do factory default.

I just bought A800F from UAE and with this firmware it has got polish lang (after flashing You will have only to download polish dictionary for spell checking and uninstall 2 apps).

PS: it's really pity that there is not much about A8 on XDA. It is great Samsung product, one of their best smartphones which is really good competitor to their Galaxy S and Note series (not joking!) Also pity that it is not on sale in Europe but I think that it is because price for older A7 is still high here thus A8 would have to be even more expensive which would be not competitive to prices for Galaxy S/Note.

I had both A7 and A8, Samsung did good job and A8 has got a lot of improvements over A7 :good:
[General Questions and Answers] iykemexx:
Hey guys, been using the A8 for 3 weeks now and the experience has been nice. the only problems I have are that the battery discharges by 1% every 3mins when I'm using the phone moderately. also, there's occasional stuttering when sliding through home screen..I don't know what to do again

Since many people seem to have a grandfathered unlimited data plan with Verizon, I thought you might want to be aware of this. Might force me to activate my Project Fi account now.

http://www.theverge.com/2015/10/8/9478093/verizon-increasing-unlimited-data-price
[Nexus 6  General] jst07:
I dropped mine a long time ago and went to Sprint. Sadly, I was only using about 1GB a month even when I did have it. They've been great for me and cut my bill by half (even before they ran that promotion), so I'm happy.

To anyone considering a switch, Sprint is raising their unlimited rate mid-month, so it would be worth moving quick.
[Nexus 6  General] dberthia:
That really sucks. Here's a little more on who it affects:

http://www.droid-life.com/2015/10/0...price-hike-more-details-about-who-it-impacts/

Down at the bottom, it sounds like you might not be charged if you have a really old plan that doesn't break out the data separately. I think my old Shared 700 plan has separate data, so I'm probably screwed. I chatted with Verizon, who said nothing was going to change because they haven't officially announced anything yet. Morons.

Been seriously considering Project Fi anyhow, so that's the way I'll go. It'll probably cut my monthly bill in half. I normally don't use much of my unlimited data anyhow. :)
[Nexus 6  General] AndroidMarlo:
SIMPLE Mobile cost only $55 for 10GB LTE data.
[Nexus 6  General] madsquabbles:
So how the hell were us 1% the top 5% that needed to be throttled last year?

even at $90 it's still cheaper than any other plan form. plus now i'll be using netflix and google music more often with it instead of my wifi drive since they're charging more.

[Nexus 6  General] BeavermanA:
Seems like if you are on contract, you don't have to pay the extra until your contract expires. So, I want to get back on contract with my UDP using one of the various methods if possible.

Is the Nexus 6 the best device on Verizon that can be rooted and use custom roms? Currently have a Note 4, and just utterly sick of its lag and lack of ability to do a damn thing I want. I need root back, but seems like every phone these days is unbreakable.

What about the Nexus 6P? Is that coming to vzw under contract discount upgrades?
[Nexus 6  General] smitchell1980:
I don't think it's possible to get on contract with Verizon anymore. There was an article about 3 months ago stating vzw had done away with contracts. It was at the same time they went to this s/m/l/xl data scheme.

I guess I lucked out. I have unlimited data and signed a new 2yr back in may. So like most everybody else, until then WiFi is a thing of the past and I'm just going to do everything on mobile until contract is up.

I think I'll make a nice 5gb file and put on Google drive and just constantly redownload it. See how high I can rack up my mobile data usage until then
[Nexus 6  General] BeavermanA:
You still can. Just have to select 2 year contract instead of device payment plan or purchase outright. May only be for current customers with available upgrades though.
[Nexus 6  General] madsquabbles:
the terms of the contract don't expire after two years, it's just the particular term of not leaving expires after two years. i wish i had kept my original contract so i could look it over. so you still have a contract with them, it's just the penalty for leaving that's expired, not the contract.
[Nexus 6  General] SymbioticGenius:
If you have a Nexus 6, you should probably check out T-Mobile. I left Verizon a few years back and I consistently have better signal in hospitals than people with Verizon. The Nexus has the best antenna and in my experience more than makes up for any minor differences between the companies. Plus I saved a couple hundred a month so I'm happy.
[Nexus 6  General] sirgoob:
I'm glad I switched to Tmo when they were offering 2 lines unlimited data for 100$
[Nexus 6  General] vodkaknockers:
The 6P will not be available through VZW for contract subsidized upgrades as far as I know. Please also remember that you cannot directly renew your UDP contract through verizon, they will force a new data plan on your line.
[Nexus 6  General] asacado:
I'll just stick with my 100 buck 2 line family unlimited with sprint.
[Nexus 6  General] forsaken82:
I simply canceled my home internet, raise my rate, that's cool... I'll raise my usage.
[Nexus 6  General] jonwlew:
A quick note though I work for vzw (shameless plug) is that you will now be able to upgrade and keep your unlimite
[Nexus 6  General] madsquabbles:
from what i read it's not upgrade, but allow us to get on the payment plan to fully purchase a phone. i'd be better off using a credit card since i get a built in extended warranty on purchases. i never buy the TEP b/c it's not worth it for me.
[Nexus 6  General] vtmike:
So Verizon raises the rate because the only people that still have unlimited data are the kind of people who caused providers to drop unlimited data plans to begin with, using ridiculous amounts of data.

Then peoples response here is to use even more data. I'm sure Verizon won't raise rates again, or drop the plans altogether because of stupid people. Good plan guys.
[Nexus 6  General] thecarp1975:
What exactly does this have to do with the Nexus 6?
[Nexus 6  General] chipstien:
Thank god I'm not on Verizon. With AT&T I still have my unlimited data and I am able to still get phones if I choose. And here in Washington the coverage is just as good. But even if AT&T used the same tactics, I would just switch to straight talk. I rarely ever go over 5gig.
[Nexus 6  General] chaos254:
Ive been debating on switching to Google fi but Verizon made my choice for me. Screw Verizon
[Nexus 6  General] imnuts:
The only thing that I can think of is that this was the first unlockable phone available on a VZW contract since the Galaxy Nexus. Others could be unlocked, but not right out of the box or they weren't available on contract pricing. Otherwise, it has nothing to do with the Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] sirgoob:
Or probably that 99% of the 1% unlimited Verizon users use Nexus phones
[Nexus 6  General] madsquabbles:
so you're one of those who think companies should be able implement a limit on something they marketed as UNLIMITED?

if walmart gave you a 15% off everything coupon and you pull up to the register with $2000 worth of stuff and they deny the coupon b/c you got too much stuff and they implemented a made up a limit of $15 discount after the fact, wouldn't that piss you off? if it doesn't then these corporations are lucky they have people like you.
[Nexus 6  General] imnuts:
If you read the fine print, there is something in there about reasonable use. There is no way people using 15-20+ gigs a month aren't abusing it in some way. People tethering and using it as their only internet connection, without a tethering plan is one of many examples. Verizon is just adjusting their pricing on a legacy product to bring it closer to current market pricing. You don't like it, do something that may actually make them listen and switch carriers.

[Nexus 6  General] loveracing1988:
While I no longer have verizon and switched to sprint here is my data usage so far this month. I haven't tethered in years, and as you can see from my wifi usage I have home Internet. I watch a lot of youtube at work and watch a few movies at work as well. I don't "abuse" anything, I don't use data just to use it, I just use my phone.
[Nexus 6  General] madsquabbles:
reasonable is relative. you say 20 is reasonable, another says 8. For me it's reasonable to have no limit on unlimited. if they wanted a limit it should been stated explicitly and exact. not kinda sorta maybe.

I use around 8 to 15 per mo streaming music or listening to Netflix while taking my 45 min drive to work. I set up an user for mobile that uses low bandwidth since I only need sound and the music is capped at 192. my signal at home is terrible and I barely get 3g outside.

and you guys keep forgetting the bull****terry that went on. they threatened o throttle the top 5%. we unlimited folks only make up less than 1%.

with my data usage I'll soon be better off with a metered plan. I don't call much and use hangout/Google voice for texts. I'll be paying $90/mo.after the increase.

and BTW I've always respected your work.
[Nexus 6  General] Peylix:
Ha, good one.

No thanks, I'm good.

I dropped VZW back in January after 8 long brutal years with these blood suckers. I was one of the EARLY unlimited plan adopters when it first came out. Since then, going through all my phones with them on only ONE line. My monthly bill was $188. For a SINGLE line. All those hidden charges tacked on each year to sway me away, then came the "publicly" announced price changes after VZW got caught with their pants down doing the previous hidden bull****.

I stayed with them for coverage and that was it. Until a good friend of mine let me use his Nexus 5 on Tmobile for a while. It got just as good if not BETTER coverage. On day three, I walked into VZW and told them to go **** themselves. Went over to Tmobile, and got a Nexus 6 with the music everything unlimited plan. $98 after taxes a month. Damn near a whole $100 cheaper.

Should have dropped them a long time ago.

I feel bad for those left on their unlimited plans. I urge every one of you to go check out other carriers and see if their coverage can match enough to VZW. Leave them while you still can.

Well, one hour lunch watching 1080p is about 1 gig give or take, I also work midnights so there is a lot of downtime.
[Nexus 6  General] SymbioticGenius:
It's called multitasking. I also do a lot of reading and researching at work and I burn through 40+ GB a month. I left Verizon a few years back and wouldn't care less if the whole company burned to the ground. They are an amazing advertising company that makes Google look like amateurs or data miners. Verizon literally has people convinced that not only is their service the best in the world, but it's a privilege to be a Verizon customer and you should be lucky they only charge you 2-3 times the going rate.

I used to drink the cool aid, swore T-Mobile and ATT was for kids and people who couldn't afford a real service. I've gotten better signal for the most part on T-Mobile than I had on Verizon (granted I've had mostly Motorola phones since then) but I also went from a family plan that at its peak was $~449 a month, to a family plan that was $132 to a single plan of 81 a month (all including taxes and fees). Verizon is one of the single most income draining service providers in the country, they are overrated and over priced and the worst part about them is the limitations they place on their customers and their devices. If I'm paying 400 a month for phones I better be able to do whatever the hell I want and use as much data as I want and they should be grateful I'm willing to part with my hard earned money. T-Mobile fills all my needs and Verizon can go bankrupt for all I care.
[Nexus 6  General] sanman8285:
Which plan do you have? I thought the highest they offered was 10Gb
[Nexus 6  General] dberthia:
I've been on an older unlimited plan (Shared 700, with 700 minutes & pay-per-text) for over 4 years. After my corporate discount, I've been paying $80/mo. The thing is, I don't think I've ever gone over 3GB of data usage in a single month, and it's usually under 2GB. Most of the time I'm on Wi-Fi at home or in the office. I think I was blinded by the thought of keeping my unlimited at any cost, but if I look at it realistically, I'm better off going to Project Fi. I'll cut my bill nearly in half, get unlimited talk/text, and I won't have the pricks at Verizon to deal with anymore. Just ordered my Fi sim, so here we go...
[Nexus 6  General] Masterx9:
Yeah this was the last straw for me after damn near 10 years. Been outta contract since 2012 so it was only a matter of time for me.
[Nexus 6  General] RyanThaDude:
Some of these comments don't make any sense. So, if VZW raises your rate for UDP you'll switch to a carrier that does not offer UDP?
[Nexus 6  General] mike102871:
They offered a limited time plan back in the spring. 20gb for $55 with auto pay. They stopped offering it, but you keep it until you change . I usually only use about 8-9. But the 10 gb plan would be same price . I've gone as high as 15 . tether and all.
[Nexus 6  General] sanman8285:
Thanks for the info.
[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
Been out of contract for a year, Verizon plan is lower than any other carrier and I don't have good GSM where I live. I requested a Fi invite (should've done that a long time ago) and will now have to switch. Sadly I took my unlimited data for granted and never used much, now I'm going to miss it.
[Nexus 6  General] sanman8285:
I was looking at T-Mobile. Curious as to where you live for coverage?
[Nexus 6  General] ronaldheld:
If you have UD but do not want to pay more, which is the better alternative: project Fi Sprint, T-Mo?
[Nexus 6  General] Artarek:
There will be an additional $20 charge on all unlimited data plans however people that have them will now be able to upgrade using the 2 year option or device payment option without losing their unlimited data in the past. I'm a Verizon employee.
[Nexus 6  General] sirgoob:
It depends on your data usage. If you can spend the majority on wifi, then project Fi will save you more money. But every gb on Fi will cost you 10$. Look at your previous bills and see what works best for you.
[Nexus 6  General] ronaldheld:
I forgot that rate so Fi would not do.
[Nexus 6  General] PolishDude:
I am enjoying the recent promotion T-Mobile ran, I am on a family plan....all 4 lines unlimited talk and text plus 10gb per line for $120. 10gb is perfectly fine on T-Mobile since they don't charge you for data when you stream music (I listen to Pandora). Also it's perfect for me when I visit family in Poland, get internet access and texting for no charge.
