About the lights... i don't know what to say, it's strange.

Try to reboot to download mode again (Press Volume Down + Power for about 10 seconds to exit and after the screen goes black, press Volume Down + Home + Power to get into download mode again).

Download an Odin flashable custom recovery (TWRP or PhilZ) and flash it using Odin. In options tab of Odin UNCHECK Auto-Reboot. After installing, exit download mode and when the screen goes black again, press and hold Volume Up + Home + Power. Now you should boot into one of the recoveries you have just installed.

Now, download a custom kernel from XDA (it could be arter97 kernel, Adam kernel or any other) and install it in the recovery.

Now you should be able to boot.

P.S.: To install the custom kernel you have to transfer the file into the device somehow. So, if you install PhilZ, use sideload installation (it is located in the Install zip context in PhilZ) for the kernel zip, and if you choose TWRP, connect the phone to the PC, go to Mounts, disable MTP and then reenable it and your PC should now recognize the phone. Then transfer the kernel zip into internal memory and install.

thanks for reply, I appreciate it

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Villa_Man:
Don't use the .img. Install the .tar.md5 of TWRP 2.8.7.2. You can download it if you search for zeroflte on www.twrp.me (devices).

Or you can try arter97's PhilZ Touch Recovery in .tar format.

Thanks villa for your suggestion, I update my 2nd post , pls read and suggest me
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Villa_Man:
Hmm, I guess the system partition was erased even if it failed in Odin.

Install a Custom ROM (like Arrow ROM or Crisscross which you can find at Edge forums) and it should be ok.

The kernel would have worked if you had the system partition intact.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Villa_Man:
Did you wipe the Cache, Data and System before installing the file?

EDIT: After seeing the last image, I suggest reinstalling the bootloader. Something is not right with those lights.

https://drive.google.com/folderview...sharing&tid=0B40ItdHKfkyQd1hJQXVDU3dDU2c#list

Download this firmware. Before installing it with Odin, go in TWRP and wipe Cache, Dalvik Cache, Data and System. And then close the recovery mode and enter download mode. Be sure to use the latest version of Odin which is 3.10.7 (you can download it here: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3446301&d=1440131361). After checking is everything is set up, put all the files provided in the zip into the correct place and start the operation. And a note, to be sure it will be alright, put the phone on a table or something while doing the operations and do not move the cable while it installs in Odin, it might give you a fail.

P.S.: If at the end it will give you an error at installing the modem, do not panic, restart download mode and install only the CP file which contains modem.bin.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsnobel2:
I did not but it ask for during flash the rom,

Dont know what happened but suddenly phone starts and go to main menu, it is normal but when I start the phone same error occurs, no normal start with splash screen and same strange screen in download mode

I did not use pit file , should I?

update: Just flash csc file and than flash all 4 files again and result was same as you told me that at the end it will give error at installing modem here are logs

later I install cp file but still failed here are logs

now at phone startup following message shows with yellow triangle

" An error has occurred while updating the device software us the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software"
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Villa_Man:
There must be a way to install the modem...

Try to extract the modem.bin from the CP zip and rename it to modem.bin.tar. Try to install it then in the same AP or CP slot in Odin (you can try to install it either on AP or CP and see which one works).
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsnobel2:

So now your phone works? :)

Well if now everything is ok, I guess I don't need anything more.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsnobel2:
2 problems still there

1-blur samsung logo at startup as I posted earlier, restart again and again than black screen, sometimes it boot into normal condition,

2- I want to return phone with stock rom as it was :(

should I have to use pit file with your 4 files of BTU?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Villa_Man:
Well, to return to stock you have to do it with Odin. First wipe the partitions from TWRP and then boot into download mode.

Next time you can try using the .pit, too.

And about modem, here is what you can try: first, disable Auto Reboot. Install all the files except CP (which is modem). After it says pass, restart into download mode again. Extract modem.bin from the CP .tar.md5 (you can open it as a normal archive using 7zip) and rename it into modem.bin.tar. Then flash it normal on Odin (in AP or CP).
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsnobel2:
Is wipe partition is not too risky? I mean phone became dead

I extract modem.bin with Total Commander and repack it, now it is "modem.tar" will it work or I have change it "modem.tar.md5"

and what is the reason of blur startup?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Villa_Man:
no, don't extract modem.bin. Just put .tar after the .bin.

About the blur, I really don't know what to say...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsnobel2:
how to wipe partitions in TWRP? wipe/advance wipe/ Repair or change file system. Right?

No luck :(

phoneinfo.apk show that bootloader is from BTU and baseband is from EE, is it normal? or this is making problem in phone

In download mode it says

Odin Mode

Current binary : custom

system status: custom

should these not be samsung official , I mean binary and system
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Villa_Man:
Sorry for being late, I've been busy today.

The correct way to wipe the partitions is going into Wipe/Advanced Wipe and selecting Cache, Dalvik, Data and System (the Internal Storage is optional, I don't wipe it because I would lose my backups and data).

About BTU and EE, I don't think it does matter as long as everything works.

About the current binary and system status, well, if you installed the original rom and then you flashed TWRP they automatically set to custom I guess.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsnobel2:
Thanks for the reply, still no luck, do you have pack files of EE UK "G920FXXU3QOJF_G920FEVR3QOJF_EVR" latest build like you give in BTU 4 files

or any other suggestion

thanks

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Villa_Man:
You can unpack even a single .tar.md5. Install 7-zip, right click on the .tar.md5 which contains all of the files and open it. Then you can extract every file which is located inside.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsnobel2:
there are files

boot

cache

cm.bin

hidden

modem.bin

recovery

sboot.bin

system,

there is no .tar.md5 extention next to them, now in which order I have to flash them one by one and how to add .tar.md5 extention
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Villa_Man:
It is not recommended to flash files one by one. Only the modem file should be flashed this way if it fails in Odin.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsnobel2:
single modem files still fails in odin :(

I read somewhere in forum to write modem file via adb, should I try that method after installing bl ,ap and csc?

I think we have played all cards which are in your mmind :)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Villa_Man:
I have seen a modem file which can be installed using a zip file into recovery in a thread, but I don't remember which one. I'll give it a search.

EDIT: I found a list of TWRP flashable modems on a german site: http://www.pocketpc.ch/samsung-gala...amsung-galaxy-s6-s6-edge-odin-twrp-cwm.html#2
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsnobel2:
question is, there is need to flash modem in twrp while I had seen ok modem when flashed custom rom in normal screen?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Villa_Man:
If everything is ok, then you don't need to flash the modem again.

Hi mate!

Do you have your S/N from the phone with you? (serial number)

It is usually on a little sticker on the back of the phone when you first unbox.

It has the S/N and the EMEI also.

Look for it with your life!

Edit: if you don't have the sticker look at the back of your phone and see if it is printed.

Hi, Villa_man , Hope you will be fine,

I have managed successfully to install stock rom with odin and smart switch but now problem is phone goes to bootloop 3-4 times at startup than black screen, Do you have any idea, why?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjraider:
Your screen appears to be damaged. Did this happen before installing the custom ROM? If so restore it back to fully stock and get back to the store where you got it. Also bootloops can be caused by error in software or just damaged hardware and your screen is messed up so I bet there are some hardware issues ;)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsnobel2:
it was not before custom rom , i restore fully stock rom via odin and as well with smart switch but bootloop and restart did not fixed
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjraider:
Did you try via ODIN and select under options: NAND Erase All? That will help sometimes.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsnobel2:
no i did not try yet nand erase all, I am afraid that result can be in bricked phone, I am suspect that there is some partition problem which cause bootloop, I tried different pit files but no luck
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjraider:
This should help:

“Nand Erase All” This checkbox will tell the Device to »»ERASE ALL«« of the “Storage” (eMMC) unit inside the Device.

not work but its strange that when I installed arter kernel it start up but with stock kernel in hang and bootloop problem
[G4 General] innocence07:
I know everyone here have the same sentiments, coming from Xperia Neo and Samsung S4, custom roms and kernels are everywhere you'll be hard press on choosing which one you'll flash. Heck you can flash at your hearts content. Even my Lenovo K860 have support but looking at 6 months after our G4 has been release few support for custom roms and kernel can be seen. We've even struggling to unlock our bootloaders, comparing to the recently released Nexus 6P maaaan their threads are flouring with development that made me think I have chosen the wrong flagship. Praying that maybe next year things will change, the promise of LG for more unlocked device will see its fruition.
[G4 General] andypiznti:
i love this phone over my s4 and s6, BUT, and thats a big but, the missed touches is infuriating and i cant recommended it at all cause of it.
[G4 General] 7sen:
Simply i feel boring with G4. It's prefect phone but android without root or unlocked bootloader ! This jail. No blocks ad no customs roms no etc... Some time i thinking i take the wrong choice ?
[G4 General] Loulou-13:
yes...

i'm very frustrating with this phone because it's impossible to update to MM and root with locked bootloader .... :crying:

it's horrible ,i'm disapointed ... :crying:

A MM succesfuly flashed is better than LP ....with his auto-grenify optimisations ,privacyguard....etc..and have more battery life and more touchscreen responsive...etc...

Android 6 is a good update of 5 ...but near the same thing of base.

.but i need root . :(

And LG firmwares are very good compared to Samsung for example...

but for customs ,in the past with GB/JB/KK ,i loved them....but i don't like at all CM politics of development with "eternal" nightlies developments with theirs too much merged ,revert parts...and when when they fix things there are other(s) bug(s)...and recursings bugs....

It's a complete regession too,with his known photo/videos apps and others compared to stock for hights devices like G4/S6/XperiaZ ...etc...

And for the future : with MM and news bootloaders more and more securised (due to "bad" criminals hackers ) ,if manufacturers will decide to don't unlock theirs devices ===> it's the end of the story of all developments ...obscur future :(

Now ,it seem that Chainfire and others completely fail to root these news locked devices...total unsucces at this time.... and that feel bad omen.
[G4 General] daglesj:
Why does it need support? I run stock and all parts of my phone work just fine.

Zero issues. Works as LG/Google intended.

You guys are just trying too hard. Maybe just try using your smartphone as it was intended? Seriously some of you are over analysing this and spending too much effort on it.

Just relax. It's all good.
[G4 General] Follow_and_Feel:
I think this is complaining on a very high level. Things appear to be working fine out of the box. I don't understand why you would complain about not enough "modding".

And maybe you should've checked the threads on the android forums before you bought the G4, whose development seems to be so important to you. So why you didn't do that in the first place?

I'd recommend doing a few searches and information gathering before you buy a ~500€ phone, if development is such a big thing for you
[G4 General] sminki:
Agreed :)

I'm stock but rooted, I love this phone, it's smooth, snappy, the screen is absolutely amazing.

These days I will only flash a quality ROM, not just any old ROM simply because it exists, those days are behind me. If that's what people want then yes, they should have bought a Nexus device, as that's kind of it's main reason for being!

I will admit the bootloader situation is not good for a large proportion of users, and that may be the top reason why it isn't being taken up by many devs. Claiming it voids the warranty is misplaced as isn't that the case with every major manufacturer ? The exceptions being Nexus devices and cheap Chinese handsets (and good luck with warranty in that case anyway!)

:cool:
[G4 General] Cozmos23:
Tbh if I want a phone that just works I would rather buy an iPhone.

If this is everything you need then YOU have bought the wrong phone.

Btw. whats wrong with the development?

There is an working offical CM13 Version with daylie updates. And even some modded CM Versions.

We have an outstanding offical CM Developer who is fixing bugs as soon as they appear.

And modded stock Roms.

LG offers an official bootloader unlock and will (as stated a lot in the forums) repair hardware failures regardless of it.

So grab your balls, unlock and enjoy.

I did and do not regret.

And blame LG for the devices that can't be unlocked but not the community or development.

I'm coming from S4 and believe me that was pure pain.

Btw. googy_anas joined the community so expect custom Kernels soon.
[G4 General] P650SE:
Hmm, well if that was indeed the case then i'd be particularly interested in doing a bootloader unlock and flashing CM13. Perhaps a dumb question, but how do LG know whether the bootloader has been unlocked? When i had the original 2013 Moto G, unlocking the bootloader produced this horrible warning screen at startup, is it something similar on the G4? :confused:
[G4 General] sminki:
Amen brother :D

Yes, on bootloader it says:

---------------------------------------
Bootloader State: Bootloader Unlocked!
---------------------------------------

Overlayed on top left in terminal font
[G4 General] Cozmos23:
Yeh there is a message at boot on the upper left corner.
[G4 General] Loulou-13:
yes...it's sure that you have reason ;)

This G4 is fantastic too ,yes...

For me ,i just want to root this MM ...

But for to unlock a bootloader ,it's a own choice of persons and we have nothing to say about that...

The real question is : what are LG laws about warranty exactly ? like root, the hardware is not affected by this warranty or the phone is considered as "lost" in case of problem ?
[G4 General] innocence07:
Scout around the forum and flash the latest KDZ for your region. That fixed my H815 twn of all the lag and missed touches.

As [MENTION=5393119]P650SE[/MENTION] said I would have bought an iPhone if out of the box experience were my sole reason in buying a phone. I agree that it's somewhat my fault in not looking first at the forum before I purchased my G4 but I saw the thing and it just struck me as my soul mate. It's just feel that the phone is specially made just for you. I missed the old days when few phones would come out and the support for those phones were superb. I love my G4 no doubt but looking at Nexus 6P thread got me jealous , oh also if you'll looked at LG V10 thread same goes for the people there few support vs the 6P. I'm not a dev or modder my self, I'm a flash addict you can say so forgive me if I offended you. I assume to much buying a flagship from LG maybe a nexus for me after 2 years :)
[G4 General] overflamed:
i feel it comes from the fact that lg locked up them selves so hard that people who dont have the int version just wont work had for it.

this is were the lg g4 falls.

i dont understand why the lg g4 oem camera can not be moved as is to a cm based
[G4 General] Follow_and_Feel:
No offense here, bro. Everything cool. I can somehow understand what you're talking about. Still I think that this phone is awesome as it is out of the box. Actually you don't need to mod it, but I'm a flashaholic myself and I have no doubts, that development is kinda lame compared to other devices.

But you can't compare it to a Nexus 6P or 5X, since these are original android phones and, with that in mind, they surely have the most developers and most development out there.

It's like comparing the development of a VW Golf to a Mercedes Benz (Not talking about the expense, but about interested people, market shares etc.) and, not at least, developing for an original android phone might be easier and more worthy for developers (I'm not a developer myself, just guessing).

So don't be dissapointed. I think what's going on in the G4 threads is still enough for any person who likes to mod.

At least for h815 version. If you don't have the international model, ok, you're f**ked :laugh:
[G4 General] Loulou-13:
i think that we all have found this "love" ... :p
[G4 General] Cozmos23:
The same reason why most LG apps or apps from other manufacturers cannot be easyly ported. They are locked into the framework.

Afaik codeworkx said that it has to be reverse engineered which he tryed but its impossible for him to do that.

Thats why he modded the open camera instead.

We could start a bounty maybe it will attrackt some people who can do that.
[G4 General] Loulou-13:
it's completely useless to tweak and search to "optimise" phones with all olds tricks (external build.prop ,zip and others...) ,it's persistent in the mind of some peoples..

it was true at the begining with E/F/GB/JB systems but now the modern android versions really already have best evolutions inside....and phones are very very powerful.

I have tried things with KK but i NEVER see REAL difference ...(placebo effects ? )but in some cases it's the opposite (laggs,drains, buggs...)

Now for "geeks" like ours ,,some people continue to be fan of customs (for the style)....and others (more and more peoples in this case ! ) just want to root ...and some of these ones for xposed .

And we all represent a very big minority of phones users because generaly the consumers but a devise and normaly "just" use it without changes...a phone correctly do calls, sms ,web ,social , some games ...without all that .
