[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spicks Specks:
Hi there, I am hoping someone can please help me

I have just bought an LG G2 D802 from a Hong Kong based Ebay store. It was sold to me as a brand new phone but I am having some suspicions about this. For a start - the IMEI number actually matches up to a Nokia 3310. I have had no success with getting 4g ever & knock on feature does not work. Apart from this - it's a terrific phone & arrived in a box with stickers on etc & looked brand new. The box says "made in China" but the phone says "made in Korea". Is there any way to tell if genuine besides pulling it apart to check the motherboard? Have I reason to be suspicious? The Seller insists it is a new phone.

Model: LG G2 D802

Software Info:

Android version 5.0.2

Baseband version: M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190128

Kernel version: 3.4.0

Build number: LRX22G

Software version V30a-HKG-XX
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davjan:
if it as a imei number from a old phone (like nokia3310 , it is a fake or it is a stolen phone where they changed the imei code from so it will not be blocked from the networks ( if a phone got stollen they block the imei to got netwerk service)

I work at a samsung service point , we see this very often , what you also can do is open the backcover and check the battery , fake phones also mostly have a fake battery , some times with only half of the normal capacity

and they look bit different than original battery's

Infinite reboot problem

I need help, my nexus has been continously rebooting by itself. It starts, goes to my homescreen for a few seconds and reboots. I can boot in the bootloader and have tried to do a factory reset, but it just stays a long time in formatting data. After waiting a complete day I decided to stop the process and start again my tablet. It just went to my home screen and again it kept rebooting. It didn't wipe anything.

Next I tried to fastboot flash a stock image, it never gave me any kind of error. My tablet rebooted, but it just went to my home screen, and clearly the image wasn't installed. And again it started the rebooting process.

Also, I tried to re-lock the bootloader with fastboot oem lock, it said Ok, but the status didn't change (I have a warranty and I think is time to use it, but I need to lock the bootloader). Thanks in advance for your help.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khaon:
Hello, did you try to boot on a custom recovery ?

fastboot boot recovery x.img will work.

From there you might try formatting / installing a custom rom.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uldar:
Yeah, I tried to do a factory reset with twrp, but it didn't work. It stays a long time in formatting cache using make_ext4fs function and doesn't make any progress. I left it like that for 6 hours after I decided to finish the process. It started again, went to my homescreen and kept rebooting.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khaon:
What is the output of " adb shell dmesg" when you are inside the recovery mode ?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khaon:
Seems that most likey your eMMC is dead.

You could try formatting with f2fs but fi you already tried unlock/lock I don't think it will helpas it erase the whole storage.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uldar:
Thanks a lot for your help, I'm going to send it under warranty and see if they can fix it. I hope they don't reject it because the bootloader is unlocked. :)

It's a long shot, but anyone have any idea whether or not the NP would support USB-to-digital audio out? I want to connect my NP directly to my soundbar via digital optical so that I don't have to keep my TV on (because of HDMI) to stream music for hours. I found this for about $8: http://www.ebay.com/itm/PCM2704-USB-DAC-Power-Sound-Card-Decoding-Deck-/291547997444

[IMG="USB to DAC audio out"]http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/v90AAOSwiCRUfRJH/s-l1600.jpg[/IMG]

Thoughts?
[Nexus Player Accessories] yldaedroid:
You will just have to try it. Have never used one of those but can confirm that the cheap USB to 3.5mm audio works fine. I needed it for the same reason, for my sound bar.
[Nexus Player Accessories] QTeknology:
I suggest this one...

http://www.amazon.com/ViewHD-Extrac...ie=UTF8&qid=1448369394&sr=8-3&keywords=viewhd

ViewHD HDMI Audio Extractor

Model: VHD-H2HARC

36.95$

I'll buy one when I'm ready :)
[Nexus Player Accessories] rczrider:
Found it for $9 on Amazon with free shipping (Prime)...should be easy to return if it doesn't work, too: http://www.amazon.com/Phantom-YoYo-PCM2704-Coaxial-Raspberry/dp/B00J5NCVZA/

I'll report back and write a review if it works!

Yeah, I found that one after making the thread. Currently listed for less than $30, too.

Personally, it's more than I want to spend and I don't like that it requires a separate power supply, but it's probably a more robust solution. There are knockoffs on eBay (possibly of inferior quality) for about $17: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1080P-HDMI-...ractor-Converter-Audio-Splitter-/271802547143
[Nexus Player Accessories] QTeknology:
I saw there are 2 version

a version with hdmi 1.3 and another with hdmi 1.4 and ARC...

with hdmi v1.3 is a bit cheaper, but I really don't know about the differences...

this is the only way I have with an old FullHD LCD TV to play 5.1 with my old DTS/DD 5.1 Kenwood receiver

I'm a little sceptic about the usb audio converter
[Nexus Player Accessories] rczrider:
No need to be! Got it today and it works perfectly. The blue LED is kind of bright and I wish it had an enclosure (eBay has plenty in an aluminum enclosure, but no empty ones AFAIK), but it looks like any board with the PCM2704 chip will do the trick. Not bad for $7-8.
[Nexus Player Accessories] QTeknology:
and what about digital signals like dolby digital etc etc ?

Supports sampling rates：16Bit @ 32k, 44.1k, 48k
[Nexus Player Accessories] rczrider:
Well, this is getting a little beyond me, but I'll tell what what I think this chipset/adapter does and does not do. Feel free to correct me, as I may not understand it very well.

PCM is the uncompressed form that all digital audio takes. DD and DTS are compressed, lossy formats that require decoders to decompress (DD TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio are the lossless varieties). I have no idea what the NP can output via USB, but this card handles only PCM audio (most cheap converters only handle PCM due to the high DD/DTS licensing fees).

Uncompressed PCM takes up quite a bit of bandwidth and I'm pretty sure that optical and coax connections are limited to 2.0 or 2.1 PCM data, so I'm pretty sure this card only spits out 2.0 or 2.1. Which is fine, since my soundbar is only a 2.1 system and I want to use this specifically with Pandora and other audio apps so that I can stream without leaving the TV on all day (which I have to do if I run the audio through HDMI). If you're looking for a higher-end audio card that supports audio encoding/compression (or, rather, will pass compressed audio through to your receiver/soundbar/TV/whatever), the HDMI audio extractor is likely your best bet.

[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] farfromovin:
I would pay that much for a battery case with a microsd slot. But $100 for an extra 2500mAh is steep. The zerolemon 3500mAh cases are supposed to be coming out any day now and I'm sure the price will be half of morphie.

Here's a review. It's from another thread, but anyway.

The product is not available anymore. I was considering it but I went with I-blades instead. A slim stylish case with snap on battery and SD with extra 64GB. I was considering a cheap one, but the extra memory and the brand got me change my mind. Plus, a lot of people are claiming that the cheap ones are prone to malfunctions and are suspicious, no money back guarantee etc...

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Triscuit:
Has anyone tried converting their /data and /cache to F2FS yet? If so, how was/is your experience?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .psd:
Reviving this, because it's the very first result in a google search for "nexus 6p f2fs". Despite scoring fairly well in Androbench, the 6p is literally the slowest device on the planet when it comes to certain operations:

- 22 minutes to install the extra data files every time I update Vainglory when other devices take 30 seconds to 2 minutes

- more than a minute to unpack a 1.5mb zip file with Root Explorer, where other devices take hardly take long enough to show a loading bar

- loading times for certain parts of games (e.g. waiting for hero selection in Vainglory) take several times longer on the 6p compared to other devices

So I'm curious if F2FS is a thing we can do on the 6p, and what sort of results people have had. Ultimately, I'm curious if there's a hardware bottleneck that causes these operations to be astronomically slow, or if I can do anything about it with a software tweak.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckeyestilidie:
Okay so I feel like I'm way overthinking this. I tried using the nexus toolkit, but all the options are for Nexus phones. I'm not familiar with CMD at all, so I don't know how to use it.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockcycle:
Where did you read the instructions to unlock?

You DO NOT use the nexus toolkit to unlock or do anything to the Tmo LG v10.

It is suggested you use the toolkit only because it has and installs the apps you need, you can also install the android sdk.

BUT if you don't know how to use the CLI (cmd), fastboot, adb commands are DANGEROUS.

Can you afford to end up without a phone and or having to buy a new one? If not, I'd suggest you learn/read a lot more before you end up bricking your phone.

Currently there's no KDZ, TOT or method to recover if you make a mistake.

I'm not usually one to make an account just to post and ask for help as I usually find it annoying on most forums I frequent, but at this point I am stuck.

I've tried the kingroot app, that didn't help. I used the desktop version, but it's in chinese and from what I could tell it wanted me to enable developer options, which I did, and it still wasn't registering my phone as being plugged in.

I've searched, and searched, google, here, a few other forums. From what I've pulled either this phone is nearly impossible to root or I'm just doing it wrong. I'd like to know what steps I need to take to root my phone, or if rooting this phone is even possible. Thank you very much for your help.

Do not follow or use anything that the other member posted for you. It is not for your device, you have the T-mobile(are you sure it isn't AT&T?) I337, not the I337M. They are totally different animals.

[XDA Assist] wumboisms:
Yeah I just figured that out. Thankfully I'm really paranoid about bricking my phone.. Anyway, this was originally an AT&T phone, but I switched over to t-mobile.

Edit: For clarifications sake this is an i337 not an i337m
[XDA Assist] Droidriven:
Yes, I was pretty sure of that anyway, that's why I asked.

Try this thread below, it has many things for your device from Returning to stock via Odin, Downgrading to KK to root, Updating, etc..

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/guide-odin-to-stock-updating-rooting-t2926642

Pay close attention to the rooting and consider the downgrade to root if you think you need to, I don't have the I337 so I haven't had to research that deep into it. Root on lollipop if you can or go back to kit kat if you have to as long as you understand it and you are sure it's safe, downgrading can cause problems but I don't think that applies in this case, I'm not 100% sure of that though. Good luck.
