[Sprint LG G3] mentaldekay:
I tried to update Android over the weekend and it somehow went wrong. Here's a quick rundown of what it does:

1. Says "installing system update"

2. Goes to text window saying go to Dload mode or Reboot. I'd attach a crappy pic of the screen if I can find a way to upload it directly.

I've had the phone activated for about 360 days, meaning I have about 5 more before I can't make a warranty claim.

To prevent going through cell phone withdrawal (the 24 hours I did endure were absolute agony), I decided to let Sprint sign me up for a 2 year (f)lease of the G4...$8/month...m'eh... So, basically, what I want do is recover pictures and any other personal files (my level 40-odd Clash of Clans, AdVenture Capitalist progress, text messages, notes and doodles) on it before I send it in to LG for a warranty replacement.

I'm a reasonably tech savvy EE, though I deal mostly with analog hardware. I've never got around to trying to root phones; go easy on terms please, include links to any Windows tools! :D

Thanks!!

[Sprint LG G3] joeyhdownsouth:
Sounds like update didn't flash properly. You can use THIS guide to get you back to ZV4 firmware, then let the phone update itself to ZVC. Or you can search Google for Sprint ZVC tot and .dll file, usually coming in the same package. Replace the ZV4 tot and dll in the guide with it. You must follow that guide carefully.

**Data** recovery not really phone recovery...

So...both of these methods look like they will wipe the data saved on the phone while it returns them to stock.

What I really want, and apologies if I didn't convey this properly, is some way to simply retrieve the contents of a phone (at the very least is the DCIM folder with irreplacable snapshots of my kids). If there isn't, I'll just fill out the warranty claim and ship it back to LG to get a brand new replacement.

I honestly do not think that you can recover what is saved on the phone if you can not get it to boot into a rom or a custom recovery.

[T-Mobile LG G4] samuraix21:
Hey all,

So I've been eyeing on getting the LG G4 for a while now via Swappa (the T-Mobile version). I was going to buy it until someone commented about manufacture date on the LG G4 because there's a serious issues with the phone's motherboard that causes a bootloop. I search all about on Google and personally don't feel comfortable in buying it if that's that case...

... however, I'm willing to still go for it if you can all possibly chip in your thoughts about this issues? Google states it's a "small" bad batch and Sprint has recalled all their LG G4s but how "small" batch is it? How are your chances in getting the dreaded infinite bootloop the batch made before Sept 2015?

I hope to get a good amount of input on this, thanks in advance. :)

[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Mr.201:
Hi guys. As you guys can see from image below, I cut myself a carbon fiber skin for my Z1 compact. I use normal 3M carbon fiber. Believe it or not, this is the result from my first try of making custom skin without cutting it directly on the phone. I just use a leftover piece from back screen protector film and cut according to measurement of the film and it turn out to be perfect fit because the film does not fully cover the back of Z1 compact so the carbon fiber cut will be a bit larger than screen protector film(guess the rest). Notice on the camera that the skin circle cut are smaller than the lens because I had no tool to punch custom sized circle(for the camera and flash) onto the carbon fiber so I just test fit the carbon(already cut using x-acto knife) and apply pressure on the camera just to give form of the camera on to the carbon fiber and I use paper puncher right in the middle and for the flash I just measure accordingly and make square shape using x-acto knife.

[IMG="Result"]https://tbwwpq.dm2301.livefilestore.com/y3m-5crPkG5DB9Wcdt8V_PjJhGcPUEGw3JHXHSD1m0lgkjtqlCQaZQ2NcQYTeonGcMfszhUslVXP9QaddyAm4Z0-_HYlTOTTaW_jKyrJCQwXc2ZRE0lbuDqPDZZntklCOKkHwLpzeeiH44P9M5o6AsklBUoH-V5kYgULl7Wb8an8ak/20151201_053021.jpg?psid=1[/IMG]

So what do you guys think of this and also what tools or technique do you guys recommend to improve this ?

I did this project just because I think Dbrand and slickwraps are just overpriced and to make my phone looks awesome while keeping it protected from scratch without those cases which make phone feels less premium.

Sorry for my bad grammar.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USFguy:
It's early but I'm possibly relocating to Shanghai and currently have an AT&T phone I'm considering picking up at 6P but not sure my options in regards to sim cards and such over seas and there's no better place to ask than XDA. Thank you in advance for helping!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] groksteady:
Hey, in case you still need info: I read that Huawei partnered with AT&T and China Telecom on the 6P, but you might want to double-check if there were separate releases. China Mobile and China Telecom often use a China-developed variant of network standards. In my case, I got China Mobile SIMs that stranded me on only EDGE networks, on my Nexus 7 2013 (LTE) tablet and an older Motorola Defy+ (3G/HSDPA). China Telecom even told me to go to China Unicom. You'll find most foreigners using China Unicom, partly because you can use your imported mobile no problem.

That said, if you buy a 6P in the Huawei store, or directly at one of the service providers, you'll of course have no problem.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s327374:
I'm editing this to put the important thing I wrote at the top as well:

go to willmyphonework.net and select all types of nexus 6P (only 2 types) and all types of networks (only three types). You will see what sort of network coverage you get - I love that site so much.

I am by no means an expert in this area.

But I am using the 6P in Beijing and I am quite happy with my choice. However, I don't find visiting Phone stores etc easy - perhaps Shanghai will have more access to English speakers than Beijing... I have heard that some of my colleagues (non-tech) are now finding success with Xiaomi, one plus, and Huawei directly putting google services on their phones. I still end up assisting most who can't afford the iphone option and need google flashed onto their android devices.

2 things I have noted.

1. I was warned about it prior to buying, but did not fully understand. You need to follow a couple of processes to remove the problematic exclamation mark/wifi issue. You will have wifi, but it will be annoying each time to manually enter new networks each time until you do this.

2. If you root and flash new ROMS - unless you have internet access that has been redirected or vpn'ed (I don't know correct terminology, sorry) at the router level, you'll get stuck at the scanning for networks stage of device setup. You can't skip the network set up either. You just stare at a 'this will take 2 minutes' for eternity.... The fix is to find a network - like starbucks or some other western type of router set up. Then it allows you to skip the network initial set up.

I don't use China unicom, but that's because when I arrived in China 6 years ago, they sucked in terms of phone coverage. They are much better now apparently, but I have my china mobile number, and I don't really feel the need to change my set up.

If you have any worries about your phone working and which network to use, go to willmyphonework.net and select all types of nexus 6P (only 2 types) and all types of networks (only three types). You will see what sort of network coverage you get - I love that site so much.

Have fun in Shanghai! and you know ... Don't get Shanghaied ;)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
You will not get China Mobile and China Unicom LTE access with the US variant of N6P because of the lack of bands. With the international variant I have, you are free to roam the country and nearly all bands are covered. Sadly, no mainland China store will sell the N6P, unless you're willing to go to the chaotic imported phone market and seek for one - it's recommended that you get it through your US importers.

And yes, like said above, you need to root and do some (easy) steps to prevent the WiFi exclamation mark from showing up, otherwise your phone will refuse to automatically connect to WiFi even if the hotspot does have internet access.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s327374:
Andy, thank you again for your advice and help in regards to the wifi problem.

USF guy, as for buying from taobao (online store) or markets, it might be fraught with difficulty for non-Chinese. My suggestion is to buy from as official as you can. Buy in HK is a good option.

The reason is because you just don't know what your getting from online sellers. For example, on my last travel to Guanzhou, I stumbled accross a phone market that was six blocks wide and long and sold every imaginable mobile phone internal and external. I very much doubt it is the only market of its kind in guangzhou and China. Simply, I don't think it would be too difficult to buy and make and sell counterfeit devices - and honestly, you might find it best to just pay the extra 400 rmb that gives you peace of mind.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
You're very right about that kind of market - they might not sell fake devices these days, but the source and originality (i.e. not disassembled or no replaced parts) are questionable at best.

However, buying from HK will give you a charger that's unusable in mainland unless you purchase an adaptor separately. The only genuine option is from Taiwan, where an int'l variant is sold with mainland-compatible charger. If [MENTION=3759178]USFguy[/MENTION] is willing to arrange a trip there this would be a feasible solution. If not, then the only partially reliable one is to try and find one through US importers - at least they're more reliable than Taobao.

P.S. My own Taiwan N6P is bought on Taobao. There are many trusted importers out there, and for a device this new and this unpopular in China, there's no motivation for counterfeit.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbGHOST:

The second SIM "slot" on the verizon model (XT1528) is on the same side as the SD card and the first SIM.

I took the screen off, its held on by really loose adhesive. Second SIM slot has no SIM "reader", just a metal cover of sorts (I'll attach a pic). Too bad I don't have a small enough torx to take it apart more :(
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookin:
Glad to see that someone went above and beyond to investigate the 2nd SIM slot. I guess the 2nd SIM slot is simply not populated for Verizon / Sprint phones. It makes no sense to put FCC ID or IMEI in the slot. I guess Moto is just trying to find some use for it.

To answer my other question, I inserted a non-US SIM in the slot of a Sprint Moto E and I was able to use it to send short code while in US (it says it is using T-Mobile's network). So I think the Sprint Moto E can be used oversea.

Is there a way to achieve emulated SD, without changing source code and recompiling?

Like editing fstab and other config files?

I run CM13 at the moment and would like to achieve full encryption through emulated SD.
[Galaxy S II General] esters:
I was playing around with the idea that i would resize the sdcard partition to 8mb and resize the /data partition (~14gb), so that applications have a hefty space and i would use the external sdcard (sdcard1) for storing data and media files. Would that be possible to with an emulated sdcard ? I was hoping that with the introduction of Android 6.0 it would allow me to merge (LVM?) the /sdcard0 and /sdcard1 but instead it merges /data and /sdcard1.
[Galaxy S II General] PelzigesOhr:
I cannot prove that there is no way without having to recompile. However, I couldn't find storage_list.xml in the filesystem on my phone, so I assume that this file is only used during image compilation and therefore it's probably hard/impossible to achieve emulated SD without recompiling.

Maybe this configuration is easier to achieve using Cyanogenmod 13 / Android 6 as the storage_list.xml resource overlay has been removed.
[Galaxy S II General] GrimKriegor:
PelzigesOhr, thank you sharing and documenting your experience so well, it has inspired me to try the same on Replicant 4.2 (distro based on CyanogenMod 10).

https:// github . com / GrimKriegor / replicant42-device_samsung_galaxys2-common / commit / 84c5a91a45b059a147921d0ea32367534904b314

However it seems the best way to create a partition table is using PitMagic, which seems to be proprietary software. Would you consider sharing your PIT file please?

Thank you for your time, all of this is greatly appreciated!

EDIT:

If you still have memory of the heimdall parameters used to flash this partition table, please do share as well.

EDIT2:

Managed to create a PIT file similar to yours, thanks for documenting it.

The following thread also includes a patch compatible with Replicant/Android 4.2.

Best of luck!

[Galaxy S II General] PelzigesOhr:
Thanks for the praise, I'm happy that the instructions are of use to someone else. Good to know that you managed everything yourself, I'll answer anyway: This forum doesn't seem to support attachments, so I haven't attached the .pit-file. Feeding the parameters I provided to PIT Magic should yield a good result, though. PIT Magic is indeed a proprietary Windows binary, but it runs fine using wine (at least that's the way I use it).

All the flashing has been done by loading clockworkmodrecovery (

heimdall flash --KERNEL clockworkmodrecovery.6050.i9100.touch.img

) and afterwards sideloading the compiled ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] GrimKriegor:
Thanks for the reply sir.

Which partitions did you upload via Heimdall when you flashed the PIT file? I believe repartitioning could delete the contents of important partitions such as BOOT and MODEM, but I am unsure. Do you think maintaining their block boundaries would preserve the data in the respective partitions?
[Galaxy S II General] Sak Ath:
guy i can't mount /storage/sdcard0

i use Cyanogenmod 12.1 android 5.1.1

i need help guy :(
[Galaxy S II General] PelzigesOhr:
The exact command I used for repartitioning with Heimdall-1.3.1 was as follows:

heimdall flash --repartition --pit <filename>

Data should be preserved and if you don't mess with the boundaries of partitions other than DATAFS, UMS and HIDDEN you should be fine. Before repartitioning I backed up all partitions as a precautionary measure, but I didn't have to restore any of them. See also http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/guide-enlarge-datafs-partition-rid-t2353551
[Galaxy S II General] GrimKriegor:
Ah! This is excellent, thanks for clarifying this! Just one last question if I may, how did you backup the partitions? Did you use Heimdall to download their contents as image files, did you use DD or maybe even ADB?

Thank you for your time!
[Galaxy S II General] PelzigesOhr:
Good guess, I used dd and adb. Get a shell on the phone with adb and dump the partitions to files using dd:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0pX of=/sdcard/mmcblk0pX.bin bs=512

And then copy the files to your computer using adb pull. You may want to get the mountpoints of the partitions (e.g. using mount) so that you can associate them easily.
