[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
1) You can typically find some amount of info about firmware version somewhere underneath Settings --> About. If you haven't fooled with flashing modems, the "baseband" version will be the same as the bootloader version.

2) Alternatively, the device bootloader "self-reports" itself in the kernel boot arguments when it boots the kernel, so (as root)

cat /proc/cmdline

and look for "androidboot.bootloader='

3) Or, just look at the bootloader itself (as root)

strings /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot | grep N900V

The prior commands that I gave should be verbatim unless the name or folder location of the .img file is different. ( "if=" stands for "Input File" and "of=" stands for "Output File" )

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pickngrin:
Hi -

I have searched these forums multiple times, had numerous brower tabs open trying to follow instructions, and am at wits end. I am hoping that someone here can help me. I have a Kindle Fire HD 7" which had version 7.5.1 on it. I've rooted, tried using Fireflash to flash TWRP, bricked it twice, recovered it (with the fastboot cable that arrived in the mail 2 days ago), and now I am unable to switch on wifi (I did see the recent thread about this). I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. The first two times before flashing the TWRP, I did not downgrade to 7.2.3. Could that have been why it bricked both times?

I just did another reset to factory defaults to try to get wifi back, to no avail. I am doing all of this so that I can install a ROM to escape all of the Amazon interface limitations.

Edit: I should add that I have so many files downloaded now (different versions, per each set of instructions) that I am confused.

Update: I just used SRT_v1.3.0 to restore factory recovery and now my wireless is enabled!

I am afraid to use Fireflash to flash TWRP again after two failures.

Thank you for any and all input!

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pickngrin:
Don't panic... get a factory (Fastboot) cable and use the Unbrick app to revive it. I took so many attempts to get it successfully flashed with CM12. I believe that I was using the incorrect boot image file and had not downgraded to 7.2.3 first. But I don't really understand the whole process. Good luck!

It is locked for all RUUs out there. It is locked by Model-ID = you can only flash a Terra RUU (and that is not the same as a Herlad RUU) YOu have to wait for an O2-Update. and that can take a long time....

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Wendemixda:
I just got my Note 5 and, after connecting it to my WIFI, it shows "connected" but I can't open anything on the Web while connected to WiFi. The Speedtest app always says "network communication issues". I was able to use the wifi a couple of times, but lost it again. I talked to a Verizon agent and he tried a few things. Nothing worked. He connected me to a Samsung customer who simply told me that the problem was related to my router, not the phone. However, my Note 3 is connected to the same router and I have never had any problem. And all my other devices work with no problem on the same Wi-Fi. Anyone had or know of a similar problem? At this point I am simply thinking about returning the phone and going back to my Note 3 :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] DaRkL3AD3R:
Could be a hardware malfunction. If it's happening and you just got the phone, that's what I'd lean towards. Can you connect to other WiFi hotspots? If so and it works just fine, then it might not be so simple.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Zarg95ET:
I have a similar problem like this with my note 5. I have had mine a little over a week now and my issue is for some reason my note 5 will continuously connect to WiFi and disconnect and reconnect back to WiFi and it would do this every 5 mins. This is causing my phone to have terrible battery life but on 4G my phone will last about a day and a half to 2 days. My WiFi signal is Very strong the phone says but it would still lose connection to it. I myself came from the Note 3 and my note 3 never lost connection to my WiFi. I have a Netgear router wireless N+ and i use the 5Ghz output on it. Lately now i noticed its getting better its not disconnecting as much as it was when i first got the phone i don't know why its weird. I was about to return it thinking it was a hardware issue. I was told that the Note 5 is going to be getting marshmallow update soon by best buy so maybe that will include a fix for these WiFi issues and battery drain issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] alhadee12:
Get the phone replaced since it's new.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Wendemixda:
Yeah. I just talked to a Verizon agent again. I am taking it to a store to have it replaced. Hoping they have the 64GB version in store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] alhadee12:
Good deal, I think that's the best option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Wendemixda:
Took the phone to the Verizon Store but they didn't have the 64GB version in store. They ordered a new one and it arrived yesterday. It connected right away to my WIFI and I haven't had a single hiccup since. And to think that the Samsung representative I spoke too said the problem with the other phone was my Wifi!

Loving this phone so far but can't wait for my case to arrive because it's not as comfortable to hold and type on as my Note 3, which I am so used to.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] alhadee12:
It's interesting how some of these CSR's handle customers. I always go back to the store especially when the device is new. Glad you're enjoying the 5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] tw1n5nak35:
Im still struggling to love this note 5. Even after a month, I haven't really fully fell in love with it. I fell in love instantly with my note 3 2 years ago. But I'm really loving; the nice screen, the thin profile, finger print scanner, front/rear camera and the fast usb 2.0 charging. I'm not loving that it's more narrow than the previous note 4 and note 3. Feels a little too narrow for my fat, chubby and sausage fingers. But sall good, I make do :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] alhadee12:
I use mine as a business phone because I'm a basketball coach. It allows me to take notes, draw up opponents plays and video tape some information without carrying additional media devices. The form factor has changed and the glass backing takes some getting use to. I just use a case, all the other feature I'm enjoying so far.

[Verizon LG G4] dman1049:
Will brick it. Need to use the 11a Kdz. Take the ota then you can root the 13B same as you did with 11A

is there a way to root 13b without getting ubuntu, i dont have a big enough flash drive and its a pain to run on a VM
[Verizon LG G4] woozzy101:
Yup!

Someone was nice enough to upload a pre-rooted 13B image.

Link: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-g4/general/vs98613b-saved-image-rooted-t3258794

Complete directions to install root are in this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586

Remember, keep your rooted image on your phones internal storage incase something happens. You can always re-flash it. But if things go really wrong and you are already on 13B software, there is now a 13b KDZ available at the following link.

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-g4/help/13b-kdz-t3261788
[Verizon LG G4] crisra:
Non verizon users how can update to 13B?
[Verizon LG G4] woozzy101:
13B OTA update is ONLY for Verizon users. It will brick your phone if you try installing a different firmware on your phone than what its designed/intended.

You need to wait for your phone to get its OTA update notification. Then uninstall Xposed if you have it installed. Un-root by running KDZ for the CURRENT software version you have. Then take the OTA update. Then make your own proper system image (Step 1). Then using Ubuntu to inject root into the system image you made (Step 2). Lastly, root your phone with the rooted image you made (Step 3).

Any LG G4 can be rooted as long as you know what software version you have and can follow directions. Question I have for you is what software version do you have? Is it rooted? Do you have Xposed installed?

This thread will guide you through on how to do it, especially since you might need to make your own rooted image. Just READ all of it and FOLLOW all the directions.

http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586

If you decide to root, remember to KEEP an image on your phone in case you get stuck on a bootloop tinkering with phone. Can then easily flash that image. Especially if a current KDZ for your software is not out.

Good luck :)
[Verizon LG G4] crisra:
I was rooted but flash to stock with 11A KDZ, so I'm stuck with 11A :( until Verizon send 13B OTA update to non Verizon users
[Verizon LG G4] woozzy101:
Why would Verizon ever send an update to non verizon users? You need to have a Verizon SIM card in your phone to be detected by verizon and receive the update I believe.
[Verizon LG G4] crisra:
I already update from rooted 11A to 13B with KDZ flashing method, with no issues!

You are ready to go!
[Verizon LG G4] susaqazi:
Hi Fellow XDA members. I have a stock 11A Verizon LG G4 and I am not a Verizon customer (switched from Verizon to T-Mobile pay as you go plan since I do not need the data plan). When I check for system update in my phone, it says I have the latest updates already installed. What can I do to get around this issue? Can I use the 13B KDZ to update my phone software or will that brick my phone? Please help. Thanks.
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
Yes, read a few posts back.
[Verizon LG G4] sheennick123456:
There seems to be some confusion..

Basically the question here is I have a Verizon LG G4 VS986(Running stock 11a) but using it with a different SIM card and thus stuck on 11a.

So is it possible to manually flash 13b kdz to upgrade to 13b

I know I am asking it again but just want to be sure as there are 2 opinions here in the thread.
[Verizon LG G4] crisra:
Yes works!( I'm with AT&T Mexico), with 13B KDZ works use this method:

http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848

and use this 13B KDZ:

http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G4/VS986/VS98613B

works fine!
[Verizon LG G4] LASERWOLF452:
ok cool now that leaves out just rooting the phone, i havent tried it yet cause my internet sucks so it keeps failing me, only way i can get the file is if its on someones gdrive and i can use my g3 to download it with a download manaiger, i tried useing it on the site they have the KDZ at but i get a access denied BS
[Verizon LG G4] DADER:
I have VS986 and I am not a Verizon user nor I do have a Verizon sim I flashed 13B kdz directly on a rooted 10B and nothing happened like bricked phone, your info are incorrect [MENTION=2622013]damn1049[/MENTION]
[Verizon LG G4] woozzy101:
That is good to know. Someone else posted on another forum saying they tried it, were having problems and it did not work. But glad to see it does. I think he and a few others thought it made sense that 13B KDZ is a full package that would update kernel and bootloader to latest version no matter the previous software version, but wanted to play it safe and not brick anyones phone. :)

[Verizon LG G4] ractar28:
To be clear, Autoprime's 13B is pre-rooted, correct?
[Verizon LG G4] woozzy101:
A KDZ is NOT rooted. A KDZ file (in this case 13b) is a way to go back to stock.
[Verizon LG G4] ractar28:
Is there a pre-rooted 13b floating around with good instructions, or is there a reason that I have to extract my own image, inject root, then reflash it?
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
Several pre-rooted 13B system.img files around. What's currently on your phone?

I took the 13B OTA, backed up my system.img, then injected root for the sheer experience.
[Verizon LG G4] ractar28:
I'm on 13B already, just not rooted. Also, what is the "best" solution to backup a device before flashing? I just want to back up apps and user settings/data. As an example of what I want to accomplish:

Backup the phone, so I can do a factory reset, then "restore" everything back to how it was before the factory reset -- or as close as is reasonable. I'm not talking about copying the current rom and flashing it back on.
[Verizon LG G4] divineBliss:
I have never used it, but I think LG Bridge backup is what people use:

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReMMy1100:
So I have a busted screen, and due to work email and such, I'd like to wipe the phone before sending it back. I have attempted to navigate the factory reset with the buttons with no success. Any suggestions? The phone is factory unlocked.

Help is much appreciated!
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
You have a few options.

Get the screen fixed.

Buy an mhl cable and show the screen on a TV, do what you like from there.

Not 100% but try adb commands through a PC and see if there is one to wipe the phone.

Again not 100% but you could use USB OTG to communicate and type in the code within the dialer to wipe the phone.

Flash an ruu, this should nuke the devices memory AFAIK.

There are probably more ways but they're what I would try first.

Or change your password on your work email, if you use a client like good, you can remove it from the device and the password will stop people entering it anyway, not to mention that its sandboxed.

If you have a password (pattern or pin) and you're rooted then you can easily remove them from TWRP recovery by deleting one file, however would the people who get the broken phone go to those lengths?

Hope this helps.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Starfury:
I was just wondering if anyone had come across an app that will record all the data usage from date x to date y and give me a running total.

Basically I have a 30Mb a month data package which resets back to 30Mb allowance on my billing date every month.

What would be great is if I could have an app where I can set the counter to 0 (or 30mb) on whatever day of the month I want and it would show me my usage and alert me when I get within 5 or 10% of the amount I select.

This would then stop me from going over my data package allowance and incurring large bandwidth costs which I don't find out about until my next bill or unless I ring my provider (Orange).

Is it a good idea and does it already exist?

I'm considering switching from AT&T to T-Mobile because of AT&T's rooting issues with Android phones.

I have good coverage on T-Mobile with very fast LTE coverage. Only in buildings the service is less good because they use different bandwidth. But you can always use wifi calling and they supply also an LTE and phone modem for free to place in spots if the coverage is not good. Overall I'm very happy with them.
