[Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gibz97:
IMPORTANT REMINDER to anyone using SP Flash Tool. NEVER EVER Format All + Download as it clears each and every partition on your phone, including the nvram, which contains your imei numbers.

Instead the best way to flash is either Download only or Firmware upgrade in case Partition tables do no match.

Fortunately there still might be a way to recover your imei numbers even if you did not make a backup.

If you are rooted try using root explorer. Navigate to "data" folder and you will find a folder named "nvram", Rename it to anything like "nvrami" then reboot your phone.

If imei number is still invalid, absent or you have troubles with data then try reflashing the firmware with SP Flash Tool (REMEMBER: Download Only).

If still imei numbers do not show up then you will have to rewrite them

[Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkabishi:
yes you need to do it twice (step 7 install and do not run it ) and (step 9 install and start run it).when you finish installing it at step 9you can run it,it will take some time downloading some 240Mb and then when it finish downloading follow the steps untill you enter the code :

done with the sp flash tool, but still can not install gapps, the GMS安装器 can not download any thing, ... :(
[Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkabishi:
Did you download the GMS安装器 apk ?if yes did you put it on the sd card?did you copy it into your phone download folder?and here is the trick.The 1st installation must be with the gms that is in the sd card(if it install successfully ,do not run it )if not do a factory reset from recovery(volume down+power).after that reinstall again from the apk that is in the sd card ,if it work do not run it .Unmount the sd card now and install the GMS apk that is in your phone download folder(the one you copied from the sd card),if it install ,start(run) it ,you will see that it is going to start downloading some stuff,leave it to finish and follow the instructions.

hope this will help

good luck,do not give up,just follow those instruction closelly

You will need to download the correct drivers(ADB drivers) and enable usb debugging on your phone before flashing.

have a look at this :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118

IMPORTANT:my device was rooted after i flashed the rom using sp flash tools.i use iroot to root it.
[Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mv79590:
Do you have the download link for the iroot?

For the download you use the blue button OK?
[Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkabishi:
Hi there

Here is the download link for iroot:http://www.iroot.com/

Use WIFI to download the GMS package.

But there is a way round since there is a 820us twrp recovery out:

I did not try this but was told it is going to work,i did install the recovery myself and install a zip file from it and it works,here is what you should do:

-After flashing your device with needrom

-root it iroot

-download the TWRP from here (http://xdaforums.com/desire-820/dev...rp-2-8-4-0-t3260342/post64521473#post64521473) thanks to Gibz97.

-follow his guide and install it

-download the GAPPS package from here:(http://xdaforums.com/android/software/tk-gapps-t3116347)

-put the zip file onto your sd card

-boot your phone into TWRP recovery and install the zip file and reboot your phone

hope it works

do not forget to backup your device using twrp before flashing and copy the backup onto your sd card or pc in case something bad happen,you can restore it easily.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nnyan:
I am in a holding pattern for a new phone as I want to wait for the 820 SoC phones later next year. In the mean time I figure I would get a used phone that can keep me busy. I'm basically looking for something that is stable and with good custom ROM support (as I like to play around). I've narrowed it down to the Moto X 2014 and the LG G3 (verizon versions). I just got Moto G's for my youngsters and I remembered how much I liked the Moto phones. The LG G3 seems to have more official ROM support but I am put off by it's size (5.5) whereas the 5.0-5.2" screens are my sweet spot. I also generally tend to prefer AMOLED screens to IPS.

So my questions is basically how do XT1096 owners feel about their phones and the ROM support? I would particularly like to hear from anyone that has also owned the LG G3.

Thank you
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donslade:
I purchased an used Moto X 2014 XT1096 to replace my original Moto X 2013 Developers Edition. I can't speak for the custom ROM availability for the LG G3 but you can check the two developement sections in the Moto X 2014 forum to see what there are. I know there are a few for the XT1096 but not as many as for the other variants (XT1095/1092/etc.). I am going to try CM13 soon on mine. If you really want to play with ROMs then I would go for one of the more popular phones with better custom ROM support.

I did not answer your questions regarding custom ROMs as I tend to stick with the stock ROM and use other enhancements like Xposed modules or a custom launcher. I also like to use the Moto features which may not be available in other custom ROMs. I do plan to at least try CM13 though.

To be able to install ROMs make sure that you purchase a Moto X 2014 that is already bootloader unlocked. If you can't find one then make sure you purchase one that is on 5.0 or earlier version of the OS. Version 5.1 and later cannot be bootloader unlocked. I purchased mine on SWAPPA.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quest4fire:
I bought a used 1096 from eBay 3 weeks ago. Been a Samsung owner all of my Android life, I got tired of Samsung's slow updates. I like this phone, have CM13 on it and runs great. Rooting is a little tricky, used mofo to root and sunshine to bootloader unlock
[Verizon LG G3] Formhault:
So, a friend of mine has a VS985 and wants to upgrade his OS. We live in Romania, by the way, so no Verizon for us... so no OTA's for him...

He currently has KitKat, and wants me to flash his phone to LP (or Marshmallow... dunno, some custom ROM, we'll see). I basically have to unlock the bootloader (right...?), put a custom recovery in place and be done with it (cause from that point on, I know all I have to do is get a custom ROM going and voila).

Problem is... I've had a LG D802 (International G2) for a while, and back then, I heard that with G3 the procedure is much harder (the procedure required to get custom stuff going). Worth mentioning is that he doesn't care about warranty (as he doesn't have one), so in case there are multiple ways to do this, the easiest one (even if it implies relocking the bootloader for warranty purposes is impossible) will do!

I really apologize for having to do this, but I am short on time, so I can't afford to research the forum and see what I need for this task. My plea is : perhaps someone who gets to read this can help, and provide me with the tutorials needed to do this?

Yeah, I know... "search the forum you noob'...

-----

The software version of his phone is Android 4.4.2, VS98510B.
[Verizon LG G3] xtermmin:
If he doesn't care about root/custom roms/etc, just use the LG Flash Tool to install the latest official 35B firmware KDZ (LP 5.1.1).

If he wants root/custom roms, there is no bootloader unlock for the Verizon G3, but Bump accomplishes the same thing essentially.

Root (10B should be rootable on the phone itself via towelroot), flash bumped TWRP recovery, and clean flash whatever bumped custom ROM he wants plus the necessary bootstack.
[Verizon LG G3] Formhault:
He said he doesn't care about custom & all that, but just decided stock isn't good enough for him anymore ( :good: ), so I'll have to throw a custom ROM on his phone.

Bump. Ah, yes, that's what that was! All I have to do is root it (which is pretty easy, kind of like AutoRec back in the G2 days, if you know that?) and flash a bumped recovery on it?
[Verizon LG G3] xtermmin:
10B can be rooted on the device itself via stumproot (http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906), or I believe towelroot also works. Then, you can flash the bumped TWRP (http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-2-8-2-0-t2966129) either via Flashify on the device itself, or with a computer via ADB. Then just download whatever custom ROM you want and the necessary bootstack onto the microSD card, boot into recovery, and clean flash the bootstack and the custom ROM, reboot and you're golden.

(Check the ROM's topic to know which bootstack to flash. Some ROMs like XDABBEB's VS985 and CM13 use 35B, while I believe CM12.1 uses 24B.)
[Verizon LG G3] Formhault:
What's that boostack all about? I'm confused, why does it matter, as I'll flash a whole different ROM... :eek:

I am about to buy on2 and i read a lot about that fingerprint sensor being slow compared to other nexus devices . Is is true ?

And what are the other downsides of this phone?

How would you rate it?

Design(in hand feel)

Display

Camera

Reception / call

Performance

Software

Battery life

And i am currently using Oneplus one which i think it's awesome. I wanna know if it is worth the upgrade?
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paultje162:
Design(in hand feel) Feels very premium and well build

Display It's okay, nothing spectacular. Could be me since i have OLED everywhere else.

Camera Pretty good. Altough i would have favored a 16mp sensor like the LG

Reception / call Best i ever had. Reception is really good and sound quality is amazing.

Performance Could use some tweaks on the software related side of things.. Should be all fixed with Marshmallow update

Software See my point at performance.

Battery life Stock. 3h SOT. Boeffla kernel: 5-6h SOT.

Another minor complaint is the vibrator. It's slow and noisy and doesnt vibrate well(just like the OPO). I do like the phone though.

Today i read the oneplus 2 review on anandtech, after reading that i am really disappointed that how oneplus limits the power of Snapdragon 810. They made this phone a quadcore device.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vonotny:
It's not OP's fault. It's Snapdragon's. You effectively can't use it as an 8 core CPU because it will overheat quickly. Unless you throttle its frequency significantly.

So I guess we have to see the SD810 more as a medium fast 4 to 6 core processor that can, when needed, be ramped up to a fast 8 core CPU for a short amount of time (and by short I mean no longer than approx. 15 minutes, after which it will get too hot to keep all its cores at max. speed.)

Also, it's perfectly legitimate to shut down cores when they're not needed, as this will save battery. I usually have my phone running on only four cores for most apps, and even that is generous.

Here is a link that may help you with your problem: http://xdaforums.com/android/help/lenovo-tab-s8-50f-stock-firmware-rom-t2989791

It should be advised that updating stock firmware will usually mean you will lose root, so a newer root method will have to be used on newer android versions.
