[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
What do you want me to say? It's always better to full wipe when upgrading to a new Android version. Period.

Moreover, CM13 nightlies are buggy. There are important bugs and fixes everyday. Make a nandroid backup and try from scratch or try another nightly or another custom rom. There's nothing else to say IMO.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d-trip:
Just thought it could be possibly just a permission problem, a missing symlink or anything else that could be fixed manually.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdlegy:
Guys, I still like my lg g2, but it is getting old now even tho it still has very good hardware. The phone is 6 months old(Bought it this year and was produced 2014/november)But the model is from 2013. Okay that doesn't really brother me, but the thing that does is: Should I get the xiaomi redmi note 3 and sell my lg g2? I like miui and I also have a card with a lot of mobile 3g internet that I can use, because the xiaomi is dual sim.

Should I sell it and buy the redmi note 3 for 180$ or should I stick with the phone, because I still like it, but I can sell it and give a few bucks more and buy the note 3. I can sell my device easily for 150$ and buy the xiaomi for 180$

[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digital DJ:
Does anyone have a case on their phone? I love the design of this device, and despite what critics say about its design, i get all kinds of compliments on how it looks.

That said, I dropped it on the street. Screen is fine but I got a couple nicks on the corners. I did but a tech 21 case but I have trouble turning up the volume when the case is on and I think it takes away from the beauty of the design. What are your thoughts on wearing a case on this puppy and what case looks best? I'm not happy with the tech 21 and I'm not sure I like having a case at all.

[LG G Flex 2] UCLA1:
Ok so I purchased a brand new Sprint G Flex 2 on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/221950977883 and to my surprise it was already rooted with firmware ZV6 so now I can't take OTA updates since it stops updating halfway through the update and the green Android guy lies on his back with the "error" message. I already did the full unroot method using SuperSU but still a no go. Before I send this phone back to the seller I want to make sure if there is any hope in fixing this issue and allowing the updates. I also downloaded the root checker app to see if root was gone and it states root is not configured correctly. Not sure what that means as I used SuperSu to fully unroot. Any help would be appreciated as I only have 14 days to return this device to seller but I do not want it rooted as it prevents updates through Sprint. Thanks.

[LG G Flex 2] Alex_XV6700:
Download the version you have, DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANY VERSION THAT ISNT THE ONE YOU ARE USING YOU WILL BRICK. ZV6 for ZV6.

Here are the stock image files uploaded by me.

Follow this guide its the root guide but its the fastest method to unroot using stock images (same procedure). Good luck! :good:
[LG G Flex 2] wtang:
Those who want to unroot and go back to stock ZV6 (so they can get the OTA ZV9 update) should be able to use these "dd" flashing instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/g-fl...5-1-1-t3169212

along with the stock ZV6 firmware image from here:

http://xdaforums.com/g-fl...k-img-t3217089

However, you will not only lose root. You will also lose the SIM carrier unlock. After reverting your phone to stock, your phone will be carrier locked to Sprint. That's because carrier unlocking is done by altering some "node db" system files.

After applying the OTA update to ZV9, you will have to redo both the carrier unlocking and the rooting of your phone. It's doable, but it's just something to keep in mind.
[LG G Flex 2] UCLA1:
Thanks for the info. I have one question though. I did the unroot method using SuperSU and was wondering if that will not be enough to get OTA updates once I get my Sprint SIM card installed. From my knowledge if the system files were messed with OTA updates won't work correct and in this case you stated that carrier unlocking involves altering node db system files. So even if I did the full unroot method using SuperSU the altered files would remain correct?
[LG G Flex 2] wtang:
I believe you are correct. Since the eBay seller altered some system files (that's probably why he rooted all these phones and installed SuperSU) to achieve the carrier unlocking, the OTA update for ZV9 is failing. Even if you unroot and delete all traces of SuperSU, I think the OTA will still fail. The update script probably does some sort of checksum verification of all the Android OS files before proceeding.

Also, I don't think you need a Sprint SIM in order to do the OTA update. I believe the OTA comes from LG's servers, not from Sprint. I've heard of people getting the OTA update even if they are using an AT&T or T-Mobile SIM. As long as your phone has data (cellular or Wifi) I think the OTA will download. But as you've found out, it won't install unless you go back to stock.
[LG G Flex 2] UCLA1:
Thank you for the links I will give this a shot and hopefully I do not brick my device as the instructions are quite long lol. I will make sure I use the ZV6 as that is what I have on my device.
[LG G Flex 2] Alex_XV6700:
From the guide you just have to follow

1. Download and extract the stock img.

2. Transfer it to the root of your internal sdcard (images are usually named ZV6system.img) avoid moving the complete zip.

3. Put your phone in download mode (you can figure this out)

4. Use the dd command for your variant in your case LS996, just change the name of the ¨rootedsystem.img¨ to the one you downloaded.

Aaaaaaaaaaaand you´re done :good:
[LG G Flex 2] UCLA1:
I did everything in the guide and phone even rebooted when I typed LEAVE after the "#" prompt but I still can't take OTA and Android guy falls on back with "error" message. I have another question when I click in the status section in the About phone settings and I scroll down to Brand it lists Chameleon. Is this normal?
[LG G Flex 2] Alex_XV6700:
Did you download the stock image from the forum I made?

Cause if you flashed your current system.img then you flashed the rooted one.

Make sure you are using the Send_command on the diag port of your phone if you arent doing this then you wont flash correctly and phone will stay rooted.

And yes, when the phone hasnt been unlocked internationally Chameleon is the ¨Sprint stock way¨
[LG G Flex 2] UCLA1:
I did flash the ZV6 stock image from your forum http://xdaforums.com/g-flex2/general/return-to-stock-ls996-stock-img-t3217089 and I used the send command to port 5 because that is where the Diag port is when I double click the ports.bat file. I actually tried this method twice and I still am not able to update without error. Maybe I do need a SIM card installed and will try it tomorrow when I get my SIM delivered from Sprint. Thanks a lot for the tips though.
[LG G Flex 2] Alex_XV6700:
Thats kind of weird you know, I OTA updated my phone even after international SIM unlocked.

How long does the flash process take? If it takes less than a minute then its not doing things as it should.

Did you enable USB Debugging before flashing?

Have you tried to Factory Reset after flashing the stock ZV6 system.img?
[LG G Flex 2] UCLA1:
I do have USB Debugging enabled. The flash process takes around 1 minute and then the # shows up indicating it finished and then I type LEAVE and phone reboots. I even tried the factory reset after flashing it with the stock ZV6 image. This is very interesting but I will wait until tomorrow to make a decision on whether to keep the phone when I insert the SIM and see if that helps any. Thanks Alex for all your help.

I forgot to ask this but do I have to type the commands or is copying and pasting ok.
[LG G Flex 2] Alex_XV6700:
Well it depends on how did you copy/paste the command.

To flash the ZV6system.img it should be like this:

dd if=/data/media/0/ZV6system.img bs=8192 seek=58368 count=522240 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
[LG G Flex 2] UCLA1:
Thanks for your patience with me. Do I have to run both the dump and flash commands as I have only been doing the flash command and maybe that is the problem?

is this how the commands should be typed?

Dump command:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=8192 skip=58368 count=522240 of=/data/media/0/system.img

Flash command:

dd if=/data/media/0/ZV6system.img bs=8192 seek=58368 count=522240 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
[LG G Flex 2] SteveRepsold:
I'm in a similar boat w/ a slightly different issue. I bought the same phone from the same guy and have not been able to get it to activate on Sprint at all. Well, it "activates" but then it errors on updating the PRL. I have LTE data, but no call ability. It is very strange.

So far I have:

Unrooted via SuperuserSU app that was installed

Taken it to Sprint store and had them do everything they could (while being condescending about buying a phone not from them)

Played with every setting I can find

Factory reset many times at many stages

Flashed to the stock ZV6

Installed 2 OTA updates (now a third is coming through)

And every time, I get a your phone has been activated message, followed by trying to update the PRL and failing, leaving me in the same place I was to begin with. I'll try it again after this latest OTA update I'm getting, but I'm running out of things to try and I'm extremely frustrated lol. Anybody had the same problem? Any ideas? Anything? I don't know if maybe it's just a defective phone... sigh. Thanks in advance for any help!
[LG G Flex 2] UCLA1:
Did you get a new SIM card from Sprint or did you use an old one because Sprint told me they need to send us one that has been programmed for the LG G Flex 2. On another note when flashed the stock ZV6 image did you send both the dump and flash commands and did you have problems getting the updates before you flashed to stock. Thanks.
[LG G Flex 2] SteveRepsold:
I picked up a new one at the Sprint store. I would hope they knew which one to give me haha. I only used the flash command. And yes, I had the same issue as you did with getting the updates before I flashed. No problem with that now, 3 updates later I'm on ZV9. Now if I could just get the phone activated...

First For the C to C Cable.

These USB Type-C cables has a slightly smaller end (width) than the stock cable which works very well with cases. The cable works as described charging at the stock "rapid" charging rate which is 3A . The feel of the cable is very similar to the google one. There is one downside its that the cable is slightly shorter than the stock cable, However I wouldn't make a big fuss of this as it works better with a case than the stock cable. I would really recommend these cables as a backup or a replacement for the originals. Another point to note I have checked the cable with the checkr app from the play store and they are completely safe to use! Disclaimer, I was Provided the cables by CHOETECH in return for an honest review as delivered above!

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MultiPDev:
Hey guys I'm about to buy a refurbished Xperia Z from Amazon, but I'd like you guys to give me some advice. Do you recommend me? My main concerns are battery, display(they say blacks are grayish), camera and sound. I come from a galaxy s3 and lumia 640 XL(maybe someone has/had one of these smartphones and could give me some thoughts). I suppose the performance is great. I also noticed the device has some pretty good community and development(which the s3 lacks a bit)-which is also very important to me... am I right? Also, how does AOSP-based lollipop(may I dare and also say marshmallow :) ) run on it? Sorry guys for too many questions and also sorry for my english.

Best regards!!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaronkatrini:
What can I say...

FIRST- if you're buying it for $100 or less maybe it is till a good deal, otherwise maybe it is better to see at other low-to-mid-range

SECOND- yes, the performance is good, even better with lollipop, screen looks better now (maybe sonybravia got better, maybe because lollipop has more white in it and the white is being displayed better), but anyway you have to UNDERCLOCK it in order to get a decent battery life

THIRD- battery life is very disappointing, you HAVE to underclock it and root it and greenify it to get any good battery life, unless you can charge it every 12 hours

FOURTH - the device is getting older and so the interest in this device (im talking about support from devs)

FIFTH - the phone gets hot, like really really hot when you're using it playing games (unless you underclock it), and since the back cover is only a adhesive line, when it gets hotter with the help off the Nfc antenna (which is set to push against the backcover) the backcover gets up and looses its waterproofness

SIX- the flaps - the damn flaps- they're everywhere - and you need to open them every-time you charge the phone, put on the headphones, remove the sim, remove the microSD, and they tend to get loose with time especially the one of the charger since you need to charge it frequently

NOW... that I told you about it downsides, its not a bad phone nowdays, it has a big and very beautiful display, connectivity is like the best i've ever tried, performance is pretty good (cpu + gpu ), camera performs really well - especially in macro, dev support for now is good.

Overall for someone who has it I think it can take another one or two years, but I personally would not buy it unless I find it for cheap or cannot buy a used phone. Personally I would look into a HTC M8 or a LG G3, maybe even used.

You decide
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MultiPDev:
Thank you so much for your elaborated answer :) You really made me think about it.

FIRST- it costs me about $160(in a very good condition) and I really can't pay any more than this for a smartphone. It's actually a pretty good deal for what it normally costs in my country. If you/somebody could recommend me a better phone for this price point(taking into consideration the development community)...

SECOND- good to know.

THIRD- well I have to say it sounds dissapointing. Underclocking...doesn't sound that good to me... although I'd have no problem using greenify. 12 hours with 4g on? What's the usage?(heavy...moderate...)

FOURTH- this is the first thing I look when looking for an android device. If it doesn't allow custom ROMs and doesn't have a decent community behind then I don't buy it.

FIFTH- the "gettin really hot" thing sounds also really dissapointin. I'm not a heavy gamer but I do like to play graphic-intensive games from time to time. So is it really that annoing? About the waterproofness... really not important to me.

SIX- pretty annoing huh? Especially the headphones thing. What if you cut them out? You think there'd be any inconvenience on doing this aside from loosing the waterproof thing(and design of course)?

Well... so yeah some bad news for me here. But I can't find a decent phone wich also has community behind for this price. And another which makes me go for it are the 2GB of RAM.

So I wait for some other answers too guys :D

Also read my first post's EDIT.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akinaro:
Buying today XZ is stupid... seriously.

When I bought my XZ price of Z1compact was almost the same and it still is, its 20$-30$ difference for most of time(New XZ cost about 180$ z1c 200$)

And for that price you can buy WAY better phones, starting from Galaxy S4 to LG G series. And you want to stick to Sony you can get even z1 or used z2

As far as I love this phone I would not recommend it to anyone, battery is below average, camera is worst than my old Arc S, and those cover flaps are pain in the A##

This is best example of phone that look good, but those small bugs in everyday usage make it annoying to use...

And yes I still use it :] Because after using new phones... I found out that most of them are the same: average battery, and looots of small bugs that make them annoying after some time. So I decide to change phones once per 3-4 years...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icrunchbanger:
Info

For that price NO! Performance with LP is good, camera not so good even with LP. Didnt have issues with overheating, connectivity is good. Screen and colors looks pretty nice for me.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaronkatrini:
Well,

ONE - if you want a phone with good Dev community support and with that budget you'll have to take a look at ex-flagship devices, like HTC One M7 (this one remains IMHO one of the best devices ever), LG G2(very good camera from what I've been told, and powerful cpu), Samsung Galaxy S4(well because it is a Samsung and everybody has one so many developers...)

THREE - Underclock means you lower the frequency of the Cpu (example. it goes from 1.5 Ghz quad-core to 1.1 Ghz quad-core), I like more uncerclock than greenify, and underclocking at 1.1 Ghz in my opinion gives the best performance/battery life/heat ratio. Usage is normal, 1 hour browsing; 1 hour listening to songs (in 3g, even when 4g is available I disable it); 1 hour 9gag :P and gets at evening with 30-35%...

FOUR - many custom roms for now, and quality is really good, im using currently the 5.1.1 modified and runs pretty good.

FIVE- when you underclock (which I recommend!) you give your device better battery life but also it heats less. If you don't mind the waterproofness then it's better because I wouldn't call Waterproof a really thin bezel of adhesive (They're crazy !!!)

SIX- yeah, they're annoying but anyway you can live with that, and design is really good and would be a shame if you removed them.

So my list woud be;

1.Htc One m7

2.Lg g2

3.Samsung S4 or Xperia Z

(and btw where do you live? maybe i can see smth for you)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MultiPDev:
Well it seems the camera is not that good as I thought. Do you think moto g 2/3 has better camera? Although they only have 1GB or RAM.
