[Verizon LG G4] callitkarma67:
I just got a G4 on Verizon, what do you mean by 'neutered'? I know they removed the theming capabilities, which doesn't matter much to me, but I re-enabled anyway cause Verizon is annoying, I've seen a few articles saying they removed custom lock screens and smart lock/settings, but those are all on my phone.
[Verizon LG G4] wishx:
Well, I started with 1GB so my initial payment would be lower, but I can up that to whatever I need it to be at any time right from the Project Fi app. Also, it's $10.00 per GB no matter what even if you go over. No ridiculous overage charges.

No one can unlock the bootloader for it, so you can't really customize it with ROMs and TWRP, etc. It's just "stock" or "slightly different than stock". That's essentially your choice right now. At least you can root it, so it's got that going for it, which is nice.
[Verizon LG G4] player911:
Not sure about this. Everyone always says Verizon is slow, and in some cases they are, but new OS updates typically drop on Verizon first in the US.

Verizon knows OS updates lead to sales. It would be in their best interests to get it out there as fast as possible to give them a lead on the other carriers.

Carriers typically like to release new phones with newer OS updates first to push new Sales, then update older models. As far as I know, no phone has been released with Marshmallow aside from the Nexus phones.

The Samsung S7 is due out mid/late Feb. I suspect updates to follow after.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anon0511:
Hey guys,

so I'm fixing a Note 2 N7100 atm for someone else and I have no clue what to do next.

So the first time I got it it was totally dead, no recovery, no download mode, no charging. After checking at a store it appeared the accu were broken, but since the new one it kept restarting in different times. I wasn't able to boot up into the system at all, it kept restarting at the samsung logo or even before.

I started by flashing a recovery, wiping cache and checking - not working. I did a full wipe/factory reset and checked - not working. I installed CM13 unofficial - not working. I flashed another kernel - not working. I flashed the most recent bootloader - not working. I even tried flashing a stock FW via Odin - not working.

All I actually realized when checking the phone was that the recovery always started with 4%, even charging it to 50% made it appear with 4% at a restart in the next second. Could it be another accu defect even though I almost keep it 100% on charge? Or some other Hardware defect? Cuz I have no clue what else is left after all what I did.

Thx in advance.

Can anyone upload or link me this app? or suggest any help in the matter?

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimchee:
Are you experienced with using adb? There are a number of options available you can download each successive update and update that way by placing them on your sdcard, or you can flash the current one directly using bootloader or adb sideload, to flash through bootloader you will find the complete tutorial and links to the files in the thread for changing from CN to WW, the instructions and files for adb sideload are located on the ASUS support site.

Same problem here!

Hello, I have the same problem pointed at in the topic. My zenfone2 comes from china but hosts a WW firmware.

When I turn it on, a chinese banner appears, then the Asus logo, then all goes well, aside from some bugs that I learned were solved in later firmwares.

I've tried updating manually, but the phone doesn't prompt the installation after saving the latest firmware .zip in the root of its internal storage.

Would it work using the method of renaming the .zip file into "MFOD_SDUPDATE.zip", placing it into SD card and then restarting in Recovery Mode? Should I do this with the latest firmware or am I supposed to go through all the updates up to the latest one?

Edit: I put the official .zip file in sd card and renamed it "MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip". I then turned on the phone in recovery mode and update started automatically. I actually forgot to make sure that my recovery is same SKU as firmware, but I must have been lucky, 'cause everything worked well!

[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Dark_Horse:
Take a look a this thread for the Note 2 which shows how to enable secret CSC features for the stock Samsung ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2033894

Also works for other Samsung phones, I tried this on my S4 Mini Plus i9195i and it works perfectly :highfive:

There's no feature.xml in System/CSC on the S4 Mini Plus so I put the XML code into the others.xml file in the same directory. The tweaks I tried are these:

Enable sub Symbols on Stock Samsung keyboard

<CscFeature_Sip_UseSymbolInCMKey>true</CscFeature_Sip_UseSymbolInCMKey>
<CscFeature_Sip_EnableSymbolInSecondary>de;en_US;en_GB</CscFeature_Sip_EnableSymbolInSecondary>

Add exit menu to stock web browser

<CscFeature_Web_AddOptionToTerminate>true</CscFeature_Web_AddOptionToTerminate>

Confirm whether you want to exit the browser

<CscFeature_Web_EnablePromptToExit>true</CscFeature_Web_EnablePromptToExit>

Add shutter sound on/off menu to stock camera app

<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>

All working great but requires root (see my post here for rooting the S4 Mini Plus i9195i).

Don't forget to backup others.xml before editing and if you take a copy to change and then put back, make sure you reapply permissions to the new file to it can be read properly.

Yep, unfortunate.

No idea why for some it brakes, worked fine here (and for many) directly dirty flashing it.

Just flash one with TWRP, yes "Customized" is non-branded (despite it's name, yeah strange).

Do test SMS/MMS functionality right away, as you can read above, for some, it might brake and only a Factory Wipe (keep data) from TWRP will fix it (lose apps but keep the rest).

We don't know what the problem is.

What .264 ZIP did you flash exactly?

Did you test BEFORE recovering apps from Titanium?

There is a service "R2Rclient" or something that connects to the internet, and it might get block if you have a firewall on the device, like AFWall+, disable it.

Try to manually select: provider, APNs

Try to set all to Auto: provider, APNs

Try to find your providers settings on their website and create an APN like that.

You still have TWRP 2.8.7.0.

XZDualRecovery version is 2.8.23 (that 2.8.xx is just a coincidence)
