As a Nexus 5X daily user I can say the device is phenomenal. The experience is very smooth. The camera is also quite good talking vivid high quality pictures. AOSP messaging on the Nexus 5X is quite nice and the keyboard is a good experience. The hesitation with the Z5 is the Snapdragon 810, which has had numerous issues since it's introduction. However if you intend to use more then 32 GB of storage (26 formatted capacity) the Z5 is better because of its expandable storage. Let me know if you have any more questions happy to help you out :)!

iam going to buy htc one m9

does it still have it's common problems like heating, camera's problems, bettery

please help me as soon as
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Heat issues - yes.

Camera issues - never had any but if anything the quality of the picture is a bit naff. So yes, it has always been naff.

Battery - of course. It's octacore, what else do you expect?.

If I had the opportunity I'd swap for an s6 or s6 edge in a heart beat.

Good phone. Buy a case for it on day one. I have a tech21 in grey and it does the job well, cost £30 though.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahmoud17:
What's about custom roms ? Does these issues still on custom roms ??

And sorry I don't understand what do u mean by (naff)
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Naff means "below par" or "below expected average" or "crap".

Custom roms will always have the same issues as stock roms and sometimes more.

Stock roms are finely tuned for that specific device in an all round environment that includes all aspects of daily use.

Custom roms have to rely on home made code as most of the time official source code isn't available so therefore other issues may exist but in all situations the hardware limitations always exist eg grainy camera with lots of noise, excessive battery consumption, and heat.

Custom roms, through root, allow you to manually manipulate settings otherwise inaccessible to the everyday user. The settings can reduce heat and battery consumption at the cost of performance and you lose stability changing the settings..

Basically. Custom roms have their own issues. If you dont understand the concept of rooting and custom roms you should spend a few hours reading up on them.

Personally I think rooted stock rom is all you need at most unless you are a developer. The average user should leave well alone.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahmoud17:
I know the root and custom room :D iam android user from 2012

Nw iam in a choise

Nexus 5x

Htc m9

Lg g3

Note 4 but i think it was old

What i should choose ?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pr0fu:
Buy the M9 man. You won't regret. It's beautifull. Thow thw G3 has better screen, but eats battery faster...:cool:
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratratrat:
If you can get the US version.

grab the M9, if not take the nexus
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nethoinkz:
M9 is probably the most premium looking phone I've ever seen and felt.

Base on experience:

- heating up to 120f when gaming (probably common to most device but more felt in m9 due to material)

- camera (auto) = what you see with your eyes is what you get in the picture. When it's dark, the picture would be dark too unlike the samsung s6 camera which over exaggerates color to look good, if you want that you could shoot in HDR mode to achieve the same feat. It also has RAW shooting which is a plus.

- battery would be tricky. It lasts for a day on daily usage but lasts only 3-4hrs in heavy usage. (at least for me)

Stock w/ elementalX

Although I did return to stock kernel due to wakelocks going crazy. I'd see if I should install elementalX again. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] newguy15:
i'm running the arter97 X kernel w/ stock rom on my sm-n920t. i have xposed installed and a few thing disabled through package disabler pro and thats about it. phone worked fine for weeks. went to sleep with it at 9% around 2am this morning with the intention of charging when i woke. got up @ 10am, plugged it up, hit the power button and i've been stuck in bootloop ever since. im able to get to CWM recovery mode but my backups are on my pc, not the sd card. when i plug into the pc the bloody thing doesn't even recognize it (it does kinda, b/c it makes the sound but never shows). i've got the proper drivers installed. not sure what to do or even how this happened. Would greatly appreciate any advice...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Misterjunky:
Have you tried going into recovery and plugging in USB cable to the phone and AC charger for 30 minutes and then power off the phone in recovery mode then power up the phone using the power button?

If that don't work do a full wipe in recovery including factory reset.

Doing a full wipe in recovery by default will not wipe the internal sdcard unless you select that option.

Good luck,

Have a happy new years.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] newguy15:
just tried this and nothing. Guess i'll attempt the wipe. By wipe i'm assuming you mean factory reset in CWM?

and if so, am I able to (or is it sensible, rather) restore the phone from the last backup/nandroid that contained Xposed+Arter97 Kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Misterjunky:
It's best not to do a restore, start fresh for best results.

I would also suggest that you flash twrp recovery and get rid of philz.

A factory reset in twrp does not wipe internal sdcard unless you select it.

99% of people who have the G928T S6 EDGE+ and the N920T Note 5 all use twrp.

Here is the download link for twrp:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24352994023704396

Flash this in recovery.

Good luck,

Happy New Years.

Hi everybody, is there any one who can give me a link of .tot modified file with hex editor, I flashed my phone (LS980) with wrong firmware (D802) and when I try to flash it with the right file wich is destined for LS980 the flash tool consider the phone as a D802 model, I tried all methods I found on XDA to restore my phone but nothing done, my phone still brick, and the only way to flash it now is to modify the .tot file with a hex editor soft, if there is someone who can give me a link to that file, or to show me the exact line to modify in the file and which hex soft to use it will be a great help for me.

Thank you in advance (Please try to give the help I demand, because I tried every methods)
[Sprint LG G2] megasamsid8:
Hello kakah2011, First of all i'd tell you to calm down its gonna be alright. secondly can you explain briefly the previous version of software you were running. Android version and the software version, if you could mention would be of great help. And did you flash D802 rom yourself, as if it were running LS980 previously or did you buy the phone already flashed with a fake D802 rom. I can guide and provide you on how to resolve the issue but first i need to make sure which partitions are flashed to your phones memory currently.
[Sprint LG G2] krunalkamdar:
just relax. i had exactly the same issue and it got sorted out. My phone(hardware ls980) came with a fake 802 software on it. So i assumed its a 802 and flashed 802 roms on it till it completely got screwed up. the touch went crazy and the phone got into a auto restart loop.

I have the edited file, but i dont know how to give you a 2.5 gb file. Any ideas how it can be shared.

I edited the original file using flexhex. You just need to change the first instance of the word LS980 to D802. the trick here is that in hex editor format when we replace L with D , S with 8, 9 with 0, 8 with 2,0 we replace with a spacebar. The last parts a mistake. 0 should be replaced by a blank and not a spacebar. Copy a blank from nearby and insert it. or try a 00 value. I dont remember exactly what i did. but my mistake was that i was replacing the 0 with a space bar.

after the format, my phone stopped getting into the download mode. Instead i got stuck in some fastboot mode which was getting activated by using the volume up key while inserting the wire(before this, i was getting download mode in volume down+usb wire insertion). had to struggle a bit to get the phone back to download mode. I used something called adb tools to get this done. If you konw these tools, its just a 2 min job.

After that i reflashed the original tot file of ls980 and the phone started working great.

if you need anyhelp, call me if you are from india on 9700000678. Else pm here or email on krunal.jain@gmail.com

dont forget to thank me.
[Sprint LG G2] kakah2011:
Thak you Mr, I think that the previous Firmware before I flash it was a LS980 (4.4.2 or 4.2.2), and I think that the version that I flashed the phone with is 16GB, and I can't use adb fastboot with PC to because it don't recorgnize the IMEI and the only way to restore it is the download mode (No Philz recovery) and I must notice that the screen is not normal (when I push it in an area it moves in another), I think that it's bricked for ever!!!!???
[Sprint LG G2] kakah2011:
Thank you Mr, If you can share the file it will be great, if you can't I will try to edit the file as you say, maybe it's the trick that I missed, will try it and tell you the result.Thank you Mr
[Sprint LG G2] kakah2011:
Thank you Mr I will try this trick and tell you if it work.Thinx
[Sprint LG G2] kakah2011:
It's a great trick that show me, but the problem now is that the phone stay on the LG logo, and not detected by fastboot tool on my pc (I installed drivers for adb), I think that the serial number is lost, and I can't start the phone normaly.

Any help thank you
[Sprint LG G2] kakah2011:
I done as you said, the phone is detected on the PC but the problem is that I don't know which part must I flash in order to get back the "Download Mode", can you help me ? Thank you
[Sprint LG G2] megasamsid8:
Follow this tutorial to flash all your partitions..

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/help/fixing-fastboot-mode-started-t2930963

erasing and flashing these files will make download mode work again.

Keep us updated with the progress.

Goodluck

Btw g2 never gies its a tough champ :) keep your hopes high
[Sprint LG G2] kakah2011:
Is there any method to flash the .tot file firmware using fastboot? because there is no more download mode after flashing the modified firmware using FlexHex. Any suggestion ?
[Sprint LG G2] megasamsid8:
The .tot can only be flashed in download mode, on a serious note i'd suggest you here to give your phone to some expert it wouldn't cost you much. But if you'd like to follow.. download mode can easily be restored using the method in the link i just provided earlier. When you get into download mode only then your rom can be restored.. btw please follow as instructed cause if something wrong goes here eg flashing wrong image in fastboot or wiping all at once.. could lead the phone to hard brick and would cost you double as much later to get it fixed. My personal suggestion is to pay $15-30 for this operation and get it over with.. do you have any suitable repair shops in your area?
[Sprint LG G2] kakah2011:
When I attempt to flash some parts of the downloaded ZVE partition file it gives me an that there is an error in the partition
[Sprint LG G2] kakah2011:
First I want to thank every one who helped me to restore my G2(especially Krunal Jain who shows me the first step which is the key), finally you've just to download the LAF file and flash it in order to get back download mode then you can flash the .tot firmware of the LS980.

The prbleme now is that there is no more adresse MAC when entering to Wifi settings, and also Cellular network, I guess that these two things need a lot of search to restore them !! Any suggestion??? THANK YOU GUYS
[Sprint LG G2] megasamsid8:
So is your device powered on now ? CHEERS... and yes LS980 is sprint locked so you've to follow the unlock method to get gsm on your phone. its easy.. good job mate.. Root your phone and follow here to network unlock ZVE .. should work on ZVE http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2655133

[Sprint LG G2] nadjib_unreal:
Hello brother

I fixed mine yesterday, i ll tell what to do

If you want to get access to download mode, just remove the buttons connector ,then that metalic plat that its glued in just to get access tothe ic chip and motherboard , of course to do this u need to takr off the baterry and all connectors, once u takr off yhe buttons reconnect every connwctor except the one of buttons and baterry

Thrn connect the the phone to the pc by using a usb (without baterry) then u need a liyyle screw driver or a wire to short the capacitor c5000 and c5004, keep trying till u heard thr pc detect new device named qhusb

Great , for that you need to download srk tool 2.1 just google it

Then selectfix utility then unbrick qhusb and select the correct drive

It will flash : haf, boot , aboot

Thats good for now ur download mode is back to life

Then for ls980 u need to install stock tot file (ls890zv7.tot) flash it with lg flash tool use manual mode u need a dll file (lgls980_20130904_lgflashv151.dll) download it on google... i ll send you links later hiw to do this,im using my phone

Once finished , ur phone is back to life but no signal

Easy ,just need to root. Then install twrp recovery

After that u need to install via recovery mode the (ls980stockuniversal to d802.zip)

And u re phone is getting signal and being fixed

edit: here the tutorial links that helps ya how to do everything

1- to get your phone alive ( to be detected as qusb_bulk)

[Sprint LG G2] nadjib_unreal:
you flashed a wrong boot since your unit isnt d802, if u open it u ll find that its a ls980 not d802

relax this hapened to me as well , you can fix it by using SRK tools :good:

here the tutorial and the files needed srk tool

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/development/tools-srk-tool-useful-toos-lg-root-twrp-t3079076

like this you can fix the weird boot ,

if your download mode isnt broke ( like it enter to download mode but the pc dont detect it then

you need to do as i told ya on the previous post how to fix it , of course every tutorial have the programs & files needed

you just need to download them

---------- Post added at 05:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

happened to me , of course this wont work yet ( your phone is still on d802)

use SRK tools 2.1 > 4- Fixed utility > 1- fixed fastboot mode started ( then select your real brand of your phone LS980)

why? well since the program comes with all the partitions needed of all LG G2 versions

the program will flash only laf.img,aboot.img and boot.img of your stock ROM.

then try flashing again im sure it will work now
[Sprint LG G2] benniche farid:
yeah i already do that i open it than i found it's not d802 :/ it is the LS980 !!? like samsung 19500 & on the download mode it's show a I545 or ...

i wanna let u know that the download it's Ok & the computer reconize the device :)
[Sprint LG G2] nadjib_unreal:
there is other thing just seeing the picture !

you need to change the port number to 41

the driver on your device manager is set on 45

just look on you pc device manager for ( LGE AndroidNet USB serial port > properties > port settings> Advanced , then change the number to 41 ):good:
[Sprint LG G2] benniche farid:
nope it's 41 i already do this changes ? tell me should i download this tools ( SRKtool_2.1 ) just to flash the phone i mean i couldn't use LG flash tools to pas the LS980 !

thank u so much for your time
[Sprint LG G2] nadjib_unreal:
no problem i'm here to help ^^

yeah i think you need it , unless you know how to use fastboot cmds to erase the laf,aboot. and boot partition & then reflash them

but u need the correct files of ls980
[Sprint LG G2] benniche farid:

you said the Flash process failed at 90% okay

back to initial plan (original tot no modification )

so go to srk tool open it

then go to fixed utility (4)

then select option (1) which is fixed fasboot mode started

then type "Y" then a message pop up it will ask you ( laf , aboot , boot ready but persist.img is missing from the fastboot folder )

just go to /unbrick_qhsusb_bulk-LS980/ folder & copy the files onto fastboot folder then press anykey to begin
[Sprint LG G2] benniche farid:
i do it but it's ask me to extract the KDZ file & put the extracted files inside fastboot folder ! i have a tor no KDZ !
[Sprint LG G2] nadjib_unreal:
no need to extract you will find all versions files on the srk tools

SRKtool_2.1_droidth\unbrick_qhsusb_bulk-LS980\

you will find the files needed on that folder , just rename it & erase the "droidth-"

( droidth-persist.img => persist.img) do it to all the file ( haf, boot, aboot , recovey , rpm, tz, sbl1 ,,, )

---------- Post added at 11:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 AM ----------

or just install adb on your pc & use cmds with fastboot directly

just copy the files laf, boot ,aboot , .... from srk tool from ( unbrick_qhsusb_bulk-LS980 ) folder

there is a fastboot app in command folder on srk tools folder ,

copy the files i mention on the same path as the adb & fastboot.exe

then connect ur phone while in fastboot mode not download mode

type the following commands in fastboot:

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase aboot

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot erase laf

fastboot flash boot 6-boot.img (ps. 6-boot.img is the name of the boot.img file it depend on the image u re naming it , same thing to all images)

fastboot flash aboot 4-aboot.img

fastboot flash recovery 10-recovery.img

fastboot flash laf 11-laf.img

fastboot reboot
[Sprint LG G2] benniche farid:
i already extract the tor original LS980 & put all file in fasboot folder ! every thing pass ok now it is on lg logo im waiting ...

if it's stuck on lg i'll repeat the process with your method again !

thank's im waiting right now ...
[Sprint LG G2] nadjib_unreal:
good just fix the fastboot issue , i mean flash the LS980 correct files , then try again with flashing the original tot file with the dll i provide you by LG flahs tool , then it will work for sure
[Sprint LG G2] benniche farid:
coool the download is back working again :D now im downloading the files that u provide me original LS980 with dll so whene it's finish download it i'll flash it again with LG flash tools :) ... one more question plz do i'll get back baseband & imei cz i lose it when the phone was working that's cz i do a upgrade with lg !!!
[Sprint LG G2] nadjib_unreal:
when ur ls980 revive , u ll notice that *#06# & when u check using app u ll found that both imei , bluetooth & wifi mac are gone

& on top of that the LS980 is only meant to work with Spring network ;)

so for that you need to root the phone ,

then you have to copy a magic zip (ls980stockuniversal to d802.zip ) that i asked ya to download yesterday & put it on your sd card (phone memory)

then install twrp recovery mode & go to wipe data

then go to install , & select the file you copied (p.s: when u wipe dont erase the sd card otherwise the zip file is erased & u cant install lol so u have to flash from the start x) )

so after, selecting that zip & install , follow the instructions on the link below
