[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plum Crazy:
The device itself is great, but be careful where you buy it from. Some people (myself included) have purchased 'frankenphones', devices that are made up of parts from different model G2's.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedaale:
Thanks. I'm buying it from Amazon. Should be original.

Did you buy it in a Chinese store?

My wife has moto g 3rd gen and my two-years old g2 is still much better (performance, usability) and there are so many excellent custom ROMs like Ressurection Remix for instance, so good choice...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedaale:
I just hope there will still be many in the future. With marshmallow... ☺

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walrusss:
Yeah, I am looking forward to it as well
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masteryates:
The 3rd Gen Moto G is a good phone as I've just bought one for a friend.

Even though my G2 is still running stock 20H KK 4.4.2, there is no way I'd swap it for a Moto G. Even though the G2 is 2 years old now, you can still see its a premium phone. Battery, Screen Quality, IR blaster, LED Notification Light, Battery.........

In 2 years time, some will still be rocking a G2. :cool:

I received my OnePlus 2 yesterday, but be sure I'll not give up G2 for now. Also Android M AOSP development started on G2, so I'll try to compile it for the G2.

So yeah, G2 is still a great phone.

Do you think that android m from the g3 will be ported to the g2?

Enviado do meu Nexus 7 através de Tapatalk
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walrusss:
I don't think so. If LG won't make Android M for G2 it will be rather hard to port anything.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedaale:
So, will it just be aosp?

Jcc
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casual_kikoo:
Don't think so, 'cause every ROM ported from G3 include part of the G2 (partitions, system files, etc.) but all those parts come when LG decide to relase source code of each Android: that's why CloudyG2 3.3 was "'so long"": Android L for the G3 was here, but for the G2 no, so devs have to wait until LG release G2 source code, every time.

What I want to say is that we are absolutely not sure that LG will release Android M for G2, so we need to wait.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedaale:
Ok. Thanks.

In the meantime I have been investigating. I shouldn't compare the g2 to the Moto g 3, but to the s6 edge:

[Verizon LG G3] dcooterfrog:
i just bought a used g3

software vs98524b

i see lots of references to 12c or 23b what are the implications of 24b

I am rooted already., but not bumped twrp

on other phones I have run cm11/12 but on my moto x i run stock lollipop + xposed because I didn't want to lose some moto assist / active notification. even with cm12 i have used xposed for a few features

Is there anything special in 5.01 i don't want to lose. i like double tap to wake and sleep, but sleep doesn't work with custom launcher :(

i know I cannot take 5.1 yet

do the stock based roms like skydragon retain them
[Verizon LG G3] dcooterfrog:
Yes but what is 24b. A modem? Or a bootloader or just the rom

If I flashed cm 12 I wouldn't loose root....

Any stock features I people love. I see the double tap for off can be replicated. Do the stock based roms keep all the good stuff

Also it looks like 5.1 stock loses root an locks the phone down
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
above
[Verizon LG G3] dcooterfrog:
5.1 can be rooted? What about the warning thread?
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
no it cant. i was inferring, yes, it can not. basically agreeing with you.

ill reword the previous post.
[Verizon LG G3] dcooterfrog:
ok so don't take 5.1 if i want to stay rooted.

it doesn't look like there are any 5.1 based stock roms yet, but I could use a stock based 5.01

or a cm12.1 based rom
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
I'm pretty sure Jasmine has been updated to 5.1, I know he was working on it last week.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yup, JasmineROM 9.1 and SkyDragon v6.x are both stock 35B based ROMs. If you can't stand disabling Advanced Calling, then don't use them because you have to, currently.

Hello guys,please make sure you activate OEM UNLOCK in the developer options before you root your Android device with FRP installed. otherwise you risk to get into a bootloop after trying to boot into recovery due to FRP blocks custom binaries
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jo01:
have u tried using kies and using tools/firmware upgrade and putting your model number in and flashing with stock ? have you tried using odin and doin the same ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepphrozen:
I am downloading the stock ROM now it takes a while. But how the hell can google tell me what i have to install and wehat not when i paid the phone? I am so pissed, its unbelievable. **** google and **** Samsung for letting this assholes do this.

Ok KIES does not even recognize my phone. The mworse is, it would start if it would not try to start into recovery. is there any option to remove the "recovery bit" or something like that and make the phone start normal and not into the recovery? That is my problem.

k now it is definately bricked, after i triedto flash a stock rom it says an error ocurred while recovery an i shall use smart switch but smart switch says unsupported device, i can not believe thishappened because of a google feature which no one asked for and they brick a device i bought for 800 bucks
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepphrozen:
OK FIXED, i had to flash via ODIN the Origin ROM, in my case the phone came from Italy and the Provider was TIM, it took me 7 Euro to download at Sammobile full speed and got it in 5 minutes.

Can be closed
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brunkhorse:
I am in the same situation. I tried using the Recovery method with smart switcher or ODIN to flash the stock firmware but I am still stuck in a boot loop. I cannot access recovery at all and cannot install as the lock protection is on. Any other suggestions? I wasn't trying to root my phone it just decided to shut off and not boot up again.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
this is quite concerning as i purchased my phone from Amazon Italy as it was cheaper than anywhere else but i was unable to root despite following the steps but i discovered it was because of the FRP, but i don't want a situation like this to happen, any more tips would be good, preferably without having to spend money from sam mobile too.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibstickboy:
Im having the same problem. I can only access the download menu on the phone and all of my many attempts to flash or recover it failing with the phone saying "custom binary (recovery) blocked by FRP lock". I only know a limited amount about the rooting scene but if anyone could post a rom or something that would fix this or a method to remove the lock even with the smallest chance of success I definitately would give it a try(maybe a step by step as well please :) ) . Again there is no way i can see how to access anything on the device. My phone is the SM-G928W8 from Canada with Telus. Anything is worth a shot so if you have any ideas id love to hear them, thank you everyone :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepphrozen:
YOu need to find a stock ROM, this will be the hardest part. AFter you have it, flash via ODin and the problem will be solved, i had the same problem. But you have to hurry because FRP also locks the charging of the battery so once you run out of battery you need to bring it to a technician.

I spent the money because i needed it quick, if you download a stock ROM and have it left you can go ahead. YOu can download at SLOW MODE for free at sam

Check if you have the right stock ROm, it needs to be exactly the same country and provider. There is unfortunally no other way to remove FRP but booting the phone and remove the google account

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thismonk:
Is it true that the battery doesn't charge after it's FRP locked? So the missing W8 firmware even if it comes eventually when the battery is dead the phone is dead? How in the hell are we supposed to fix this with no firmware available on sammobile?! Is there really no other way? Who has the firmware? Do the carriers have it?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibstickboy:
The battery is not locked (as far as I can tell), my phone got the lock when it was fully dead and while I was charging it and it seemed to have a charged battery after I unplugged from charging for awhile but there was no actual way to check. As for the firmware you will just have to wait for it my friend, that is the same firmware I needed and as of just now they still don't have it available on sammobile. Sorry man and best of luck
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thismonk:
Needed? Did you end up getting the phone fixed by someone or send it back in to Samsung?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibstickboy:
No I didn't get it fixed I sent it back to the phone company and paid a small fee rather than waiting for the firmware to be released.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thismonk:
Who was your phone company? I'm wondering because I can't seem to find anyone to help. I even contacted the local Samsung service center who deals with Telus and they told me that they could replace the mainboard but woudlnt flash the firmware or otherwise fix it. So that was rather useless I'm essentially buying a new phone.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepphrozen:
Absolutely right, if the battery runs out, you are lost. Then you have to bring it to the Samsung Service, they will fix it for you, if you pay of course..because KNOX will be void. The only way to avoid this is to remove your google account from the phone or enable under Developer Settings the OEM UNLOCK. Then FRP is disabled. But if you forgot and are now in a bootloop you have a real problem because as i have seen the W8 Firmware is not available on sammobile.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thismonk:
My battery ran out but the phone is actually still working. When I plug it in via USB it powers up. It doesnt' actually charge the battery, but this will work for Odin. Now I just need to find someone to dump the stock firmware for me...

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbobmcginty:
My network (Three UK) has started offering 800MHz LTE with VoLTE but only to people who have particular phones (S5, G4 so far) using their branded firmware, with the radio being the important bit assumedly. The updated D855 firmware is expected in November so I want to be all ready for the OTA.

I've got the 32GB/3GB HKG variant which I've flashed to standard EUR.

Three UK only ever sold the 16GB version, so I expect the updated ROM will also be 16GB, and this doesn't fit well on a 32GB phone, I read in places that I will lose the other 16GB of storage.

Ignoring the option of extracting the magic radio and flashing that on its own, is there a known method to recover the missing 16GB if I just flash it as stock?

I've googled and XDAed but haven't found the right post yet.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] JonMikelV:
~~~ Problem ~~~

On my Windows 8.1 x64 machine I was finding that when running any of the following HTC RUU (ROM Update Utility) apps for my Sprint HTC One M7_WLS they would start then disappear after accepting the terms:

RUU_M7_WL_L50_SENSE60_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_6.23.651.6_Radio_1.01.20.1225_CNV_CNV_SPCS_4.38_003_release_425282_signed_2.exe (my version - file name matches my phone status exactly)

RUU_M7_WL_L50_SENSE60_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_6.23.651.10.exe (newest version)

~~~ Short answer ~~~

check Windows Event Logs (run eventvwr.exe & go to Windows Logs -> Application) to confirm error type (SideBySide, Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC90, x86)

install "Visual C++ Redistributatble Package (x86)" package from Microsoft (I'm too new to post URLs so try something like microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29)

try RUU again

~~~ Long answer ~~~

In both cases:

the app would start (sucking up a bunch of disk IO)

the "RUU - InstallShield Wizard" window would eventually show (agonizingly slowly advancing the progress bar)

upon clicking the "accept the terms" option and clicking the Next button, the app would end with no further message (but as far as I can tell the C:\Users\<my user name>\AppData\Local\Temp\{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}\ folder has been cleaned up)

I tried various fixes suggested by other sites including "Compatibility mode" changes, running as administrator, even disabling driver protection! (That reminds me, I should turn that back on.)

In the end I finally worked on this when it wasn't in the wee hours of the morning and realized that if something was crashing, it should be leaving an Event Log entry.

So, in looking at the Application Events log I found a SideBySide "Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC90" error on architecture "x86" for version "9.0.21022.8" when running ARUWizard.exe (which must be what InstallShield called after unpacking all the files).

A quick web search for "VC90" told me I was missing a Visual C++ 2008 library and the "x86" architecture told me I needed the x86 (32 bit) version of the library even though (or perhaps BECUASE) I'm running on a 64 bit OS.

Microsoft kindly provided that library for me in their downloads at microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29 (wow - id=29...how old IS this library?!?).

After installing "Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)" [yes, x86 even though I'm on x64 OS] I WAS able to run the RUU exe past the "accept terms" screen - I didn't even need to reboot!

In the end I was able to succesfully unbrick AND update my phone to the 6.23.651.10 firmware giving me the latest (to-date) version including the "Stagefright" patch AND network improvements.

I have no idea why in this 64 bit world HTC would put out an updater expecting to find a 32 bit library, but hey - at least they provide an awesome tool for those of us idiotic enough to brick our own awesome devices!

Hopefully this helps others who are running into the same issue I did - good luck!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] coal686:
This is great! I had this issue and couldn't figure it out. You win one Internet for today.

Do you mind if I include this information in my RUU guide? I've already submitted it to be included in the FAQ.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] w04g005:
My prophet also got VERY slow! I recognized that the home plugin customizer placed about 200-300 files in windows/ (HH_....)

i think this is the reason for slow performance!

I can't understand why some programs place their files in /windows instead of this the files coulb be saved in Windows/HH_home_plugin .... or something like that.

If someone is able to do that,pleaso DO IT!!!

I considered to delete the files in /windows but i dont wanted to delete any of the "origin" home plugin files

sorry for my horrible english
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] emunutz:
Hey,

I'm the author of the customizer and I'd like to hammer out the slowness issue. The only thing I can think of is that the files are installed to a different location on your prophet (from ROM install) than the customizer is checking for. Could someone please let me know when the files are found on the device with the default plugin? I would like to fix this for the next version which is just about done.

Thanks,

Hi I'm one of the rom cockers here :D anyway my roms and also PDAVIET roms have the files located in the windows folder...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] FInixNOver:
From what i've been able to find out, the slow down happens because when the program applies a skin, or just a part of it(it doesn't really matter if it's all or just a part), the files in windows folder are replaced, but as they are ROM files, the replacing of the files doesn't really overwrite them, and being so, the list of files becomes longer and longer, and that causes the PPC to slow down.

So, in my opinion, the solution starts by not having the plugin included in the rom(correct me if i'm saying nonsenses), and maybe putting it in the extrom, and making the installation go to a differente folder.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] emunutz:
I agree, a different folder would completely resolve this issue. For instance, schen's cab installs almost everything (except HTC HDlg.exe,HTC HDlg.0409.mui, and HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml) to \HTCHome. How easy/hard would it be for the cookers to change that and is it worth changing to get better "compatiblity" with the customizer?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] gullum:
hi again

what I tryed to do in my V4 & 5 of prophet touch roms was to move the images to HTC folder with intflashfile.txt like this

Directory("\HTC\Home"):-File("HH_BEZEL_fill.png","\Windows\HH_BEZEL_fill.png")

but that only made a copy of the original file so I had 2 copies of the same image...

1 in HTC folder and 1 in windows folder, but what I wanted to do is move the files to HTC folder

so if anyone knows how I could do it properly I'd be verry happy,

because it would make the rom faster and would also make this customiser program even more affective.

i try the program again and it dosent make any slow to the prophet

but this time when i install the icons and clock i am not chosee to save the theme not like the last try

i think the problem is saving the theme in program options

so never save the theme ........... never

that's work with me

belivie it or not ....
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] emunutz:
Saving themes should not affect your device. When you save a custom theme, all the customizer does is save the name you gave it in an "ini" file in the customizer's FILES directory. Now applying a theme is a different story as that's when it's copying files to your device.

Could you or someone else test this out a little more? I'd like to release v0.8 today but if this is indeed the issue, I'd like to fix it before release.
