[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Dopamin3:
Please read the whole post before starting. Put the file supersu 2.46.zip somewhere on your device/sd card. Power off the device. Boot into download mode (volume up + home + power) and use Odin to flash the latest TWRP in the AP slot. I recommend before flashing it go into the settings of Odin and uncheck "Automatic reboot" or something along those lines. Then when it is done it will say PASS in green. Now unplug the phone from USB and pull the battery. The phone is now powered off so put the battery back in now. Now boot into recovery (volume up + home + power) and you will be in TWRP, simply flash the Supersu file and you will have root access. I recommend wiping cache/dalvik after flashing the supersu zip but probably not 100% necessary.

I did notice that once rooted, the options for PRL update and Profile update are missing. If you have TWRP installed but the phone is not rooted, PRL update and profile update work fine. So what I recommend doing is before flashing supersu to gain root access, make a nandroid backup that way if you ever want to update prl/profile you will be able to restore the unrooted backup and do it.

Where is this rom you speak of, ok2? Looked in the typical sections of this phone's area and didn't see any new posts.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Dopamin3:
There are no ROMs for it as of yet, it's the official update pushed out by Sprint. You can download the whole image to flash in Odin from Sammobile.com if you want to get it.

Here you can see the release on Sprint's website: http://support.sprint.com/support/a...3/WServiceAdvisory_542_GKB59201-dvc7770003prd
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] oscarthegrouch:
No luck so far on downloading the full rom. My spidey sense tells me this will probably be the very last update for this phone.

If I get lucky with downloading via http, I might choose to post this via torrent. The amount of bs you have to go through with http is uncalled for!

Or I might stay on kit kat until I change phones because 4.4.4 has zero problems for me.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dismalisdead:
Hi Folks.

I searched the forum for related issues but only found one other user who never got a response. I recently took it upon myself to replace the usb/charging board and mic on my stock sph-l900 note II running 4.4.2. Prior to the repair the display was perfect. Anyhow i replaced the board and when I powered up the phone the display seems to have lost the ability to display black. The Note II launch screen looks brown, so brown i would call it woodgrain. I double checked all connections and messed with every every display setting, none of which solved the problem. The touchscreen still works, the phone runs everything beuatifully, but the display gamma is too high by at least .6 everywhere on the screen.

Is this a matter of dust between the digitizer and screen? IS this even a problem anyone is remotely aware of? I have a cheap replacement glass but that was not an endeavor I wanted to attempt. Any ideas what to attempt short of replacing the screen? Any ideas at all?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bob52r:
I have a love/hate relationship with Verizon . My Note 3 is soon to be long in the tooth when marshmallow is more imperative than it is now, i'll likely buy a 6P. So , I am planning for a few months in the future. I l,ike the idea of buying a 6P to see if the stronger radio end my problems with verizon at home-- and if not i will move to t-moble or Fi.

1. are there any major advances hi tech verizon service that do not easily function on the 6p?

2. t-mobile's band 12, wifi calling and hi def will they are ultimately work well on the 6p?

when everything is a fixed as it will get, i will figure out what to do

i would appreciate thoughts and suggestion from those more knowledgeable then i am.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReaperNY:
I'm currently on T-Mobile and band 12, WiFi calling, and HD voice all work on my Nexus 6P after the most recent 6.0.1 update. I can't comment on Verizon though since I'm not on that network.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pipnmike:
I'm on verizon. I don't use visual voicemail, but I've read that people have had trouble with it. So if you use it, you might want to look into that. Otherwise, VOLTE (having LTE active while on a call) works great. I used to have a Note 3 and hated the signal strength that i had. With the 6p, signal's been great. I used to switch to 3g all the time at work and even at home sometimes. With the 6p, i've not had a single instance of it switching to 3g.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimc84:
I have been using the 6P on Verizon for over a month now. Below are my thoughts:

1) Visual voicemail does not work, but you can use youmail or Google Voice without issues.

2) Signal has been outstanding. I came from the 6s plus which would drop to 3G all the time. This has not been an issue on the 6P.

3) VoLTE works flawlessly.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pipnmike:
I have a iPhone 6 Plus for work, also on Verizon. My 6p has been much better for signal strength.

I have both a Verizon and T-Mobile SIM that I swap between my 6P and have no problems. I get band 13 and 4 on Verizon and bands 2, 4, and 12 on T-Mobile. I easily get around 100Mbps on both carriers. I don't use WiFi calling however.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bob52r:
does wifi calling on t-moble work with:

-t-mobile; or

-project Fi

----------------------------------

do t-mobile advanced features and band 12 work with project Fi?

i travel by car from miami, fl to orlando

-verizon has good coverage in the rural ares

-does t-mobile or project Fi have good coverage from pt st lucie to south of orlando eg yee haw junction[this is a real town]???
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UniX1rm:
So far I have been using T-mobile and it has been outstanding (Actually T-mobile is better than AT&T's coverage) and when it hits, it switches to a different network with the roaming stuff. For the voicemail, there is an excellent app called youmail, which is better than the normal voice mail because you can customize a lot of stuff in it.

EDIT---------------------------------------------------------

IT WORKS!

Originally, I could not get this idea to work because the 'cat' command could not be redirected to a file.

However, a new idea by [MENTION=1007428]MAXIMATOR[/MENTION] to use dd command to combine the files back together have shown to work.

The batch files for LS996 is shown in this post.

For windows machine, it requires an equivalent utility for 'dd' command for windows for the first batch file to split the main image file. The batch file needs some changes but the method itself is valid.

If you have a soft bricked LS996 or H950, this method should work to recover your phone.

EDIT----------------------------------------------------------

2nd EDIT---------------------------------------------------------

A 'dd' utility for windows can be downloaded from http://www.chrysocome.net/downloads/dd-0.6beta3.zip.

Original Post ------

I don't have time to test this idea but I think it will work. I will outline the idea below and maybe someone can try it.

There is a utility program called 'push_file.exe'. This program can upload files while the device is in the download mode. The problem with this program is that there is a size limit as to the file it can upload..

So, the idea is to split a system image file into multiple pieces and then concatenate the pieces back into one image file on the device. Then use dd command to install.

1) Find and install a version of LG Tools which includes push_file.exe program.

2) Run some upload tests using push_fiile.exe to find out the file size limit of the program.

3) Take an image file that you want to install on the device and then split the file into pieces with the byte size less than the size limit of the program. (using split command on linux or OSX).

4) Upload all the pieces to internal storage at /data/media/0/ using push_file.exe program.

5) Concatenate all the pieces back into one .img file using cat command.

6) Now use dd command to install the system. image into the proper internal block.

If all went well, the device should boot right up.

I should have some time to test the idea this weekend if no one has tried it by then.
[LG G Flex 2] stars2:
You right, this is working for soft bricked devices, without system img on internal storage.

But no need to merge pieces to one file

The H955 system partition is 458752 block, and the block size is 8192 byte.

Need to split the system img divisible by 8192, exactly... and 'flash' the pieces with dd.

Exampe, if the push_file max file size limit is 300Mb, this is 38400 block

The system partition start from 52348 block, and count 458752 block

first 300Mb piece flash:

dd if=/data/media/0/system_first_piece.img bs=8192 seek=53248 count=38400 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

second piece flash:

dd if=/data/media/0/system_second_piece.img bs=8192 seek=91648 count=38400 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

third piece flash

dd if=/data/media/0/system_third_piece.img bs=8192 seek=130048 count=38400 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
[LG G Flex 2] csrow:
I suspect the maximum size will be much less and one will end up with not just 3 files but maybe into 20-30 pieces. It's just a guess. Really won't know until a test to try to find the maximum size.

However, if the number of files is more then few, then I think cat makes sense (if cat will work on the internal memory).

[LG G Flex 2] honest1212:
The push_file exe only supports till about 15MB, so will result in 250+ files :silly:

And the cat command doesnt seem to concatenate ok the Send_Command prompt as well.

My phone is stuck on authentication fail error because I renamed a system apk, Basically

system/priv-app/LGStartupwizard/LGStartupwizard.apk ===> system/priv-app/LGStartupwizard/LGStartupwizard.apk.bak

If some how i can revert this with Send_Command prompt, the phone will boot again.

Otherwise i can try to flash 250+ pieces as last resort but i need a little help with understanding the example you have made up

bs=8192 seek=53248 count=38400

Specifically how is 300 MB = 38400 block... ?

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
[LG G Flex 2] pelelademadera:
If the problem is only that, remove the .back to the file from download mode.

mv ***.apk.back ***.apk.

then reboot.

problem solved

are you shure thats the problem?
[LG G Flex 2] csrow:
Without the cat command working, it's almost impossible. There will be just too many files to manipulate.

/system/ is locked and chmod or remount does not work. I know it's just one small change but no way to fix it.

If you are in US, send it in to LG for repairs.

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------

you can only dd the place where the app is.

so you have to slpit it and found where the app is, in wich part of the split is. maybe is in 2 of them... or make an img with only that apk, then dd it to sectors that are free...

the other way is a scrypt, simpler and will work
[LG G Flex 2] honest1212:
Correct, not able to change anything in /system, Also I think that internal memory (/data/media/0/) is not mounted with latest bootloader.

And no am not present in USA to be able to send it back to LG for repair :(

Thanks for all your replies guys !!
[LG G Flex 2] csrow:
At least with LS996 zv9, internal memory is mounted and is r/w accessible. However, external SD card can not be mounted.

Some other parts of the root '/' is r/w accessible but not /system/. I will try later on today to test and see if 'cat' command works on the internal memory.
[LG G Flex 2] csrow:
Under send-command.exe, 'cat' only redirects to the console. It will not redirect to a file so this idea is dead.
[LG G Flex 2] MAXIMATOR:
1. using dd split image of stock or rooted system

this is my batch file for this (dd must be in windows or use Linux)

2. theh push files in to device using thih batch file

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32328783/_996_push_to_datalocaltmp.rar

3. list all files

ls /data/local/tmp/

and see that all 272 files correctly copied with size 15728640

4. On the device, combine all files to one

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32328783/996_склеить.rar

5. flash image
[LG G Flex 2] csrow:
Thanks for making the large batch files. This promising and may solve the people with soft bricked phones without an image file in the internal memory.

For those who wants to try this method, here are few notes.

1) For the split batch file, a windows user would need a 'dd' utility. There are few available. I am not sure which would be the best for this application.

2) The second upload batch and the third combine batch will have to be run within the send_command .exe environment. So, create a wrapper batch command to set up send_command first and then feed in the dd command strings.

3) These batch files are for LS996 only. For AT&T versions, the image files size is larger so the batch files will have to be extended to cover the extra file length.

Good luck and let us know if it works for you.
[LG G Flex 2] x4gvnferdy:
I'm going to try this method and get back to you. I tried using the Mod in the dev section and ended up with IPSERVICE force closes, couldn't do anything, tried to factory reset, and ended up now with no adb, only download mode. Will let you know how it works out, I did have the idea of trying Send_Command and Push_file, but it failed after a certain point, nice find, hope it works, I miss my ls996

As long as the files can be uploaded then it should work even with error messages.

Either upload all the files to /data/media/0/ or create a temp directory using mkdir command from send_command and create /data/media/0/temp/

Congrats on unbricking your phone!

One question I have for you: my h950 5.1.1 rooted h11z gets stuck on att logo at boot up. I had the rooted image in my root directory of internal storage. I see the dd command in the other thread, but how do you get the pc to recognize the phone if it's stuck on boot up and you can't boot into recovery?

Thanks for any help in advance!
[LG G Flex 2] csrow:
If you have all drivers set up correctly on your PC, turn off your phone completely.

Then just push in and hold the volume up button only (no power button). While you are pushing in the volume up button, plug in the USB cable from the PC. The PC should recognize the phone and the phone should jump into the download mode automatically.

From there, you can execute send-command program.

If the phone does not go into the download mode, then it's beyond this repair.
[LG G Flex 2] Cedar11:
Thanks! I went through the steps and it seems as everything worked and I was able to flash but when I rebooted the phone it got stuck on the AT&T logo again...

[LG G Flex 2] ChrysSG:
To split the rootedsystem.img for H950 V11X 5.1.1 from this post I used the next script under linux console, this splits the file into 288 parts:

#!/bin/bash
skip=0
size=29696
for (( c=1001; c<=1288; c++ ))
do
dd if=rootedsystem.img of=rs.$c bs=512 skip=$skip count=29696
skip=$((skip + size))
done

Then use this on a .bat file to send the parts while the phone it's on download mode.

The parts, .bat and PushFiles.exe must be on the same folder, and change PORT3 to the port that shows your phone under Device Manager:

@echo off
for /l %%x in (1000, 1, 1288) do (
Push_File.exe \\.\COM3 rs.%%x /data/media/0/rs.%%x
