It's a shame they didn't accept to repair it since the issue is officially known. We are thousands to have our devices fixed... as I already said, mine was rooted, bootloader unlocked and running custom ROM, no problem with that, authorized service centre replaced the mobo and performed a reset.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draegloth:
In which country do you live? :confused: Maybe I try to contact with your local LG service for a proper solution. Maybe the warn my local LG to act in my case.

Does low effort root for LG only work on certain models? I tried to root my Ls991 and it kept failing
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadfasterX:
It's all about ARB .. Anything higher then 2 will not work. That legacy root method you're referring to will work with lollipop only.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerry2020hinsen@gmail.com:
Yeah i seen something about that and checked and mine was a 4 smh. Guess its time for a newer phone lol

---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------

I had one more question. I seen something online that said unlocking the bootloader really depends on if the phone is contract or prepaid. Would that really make a difference even if i have the exact model that confirmed to be a working method? Im debating on purchasing a Moto G7 power though T-Mobile
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levider:
I have random reboots on my LG, especially when battery is low (battery indicator also acts sometimes like crazy.. e.g. shows 50%, after reboot 30%). Sometimes it bootloops and I have to pull out battery.

I'm on stock v20p. Disabled big cores, but it didn't help

Unfortunately I'm out of warranty

My only option is to replace motherboard, right?

Or maybe battery?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadfasterX:
Keep in mind that you should replace a battery after 2 years. What you describe sounds like many similar reports and was fixed by replacing the battery.

Ilapo is then the next possible reason which requires a new mainboard.

I have just installed a nice TNT 5.0 on my Qtek (Cingular 8125 like but called Qtek 9100 on Colombia).

I´m having an extrange issue regarding the GPRS-Edge internet connection of Windows Live Messenger, and I´m not sure if this could be because our cellphone provider, because of the newer 2.69.11 Radio I´m using or because of any other reason.

Actually the GPRS-Edge connection (It says Edge so it must be edge) it´s working like a charm on Internet Explorer or Opera. But when I try to conect to a Windows or Microsoft related website via Internet Explorer or Opera, the connection can´t be established (say http://mobile.live.com). This happens also when trying to connect to Windows Live Messenger using GPRS or Edge. It does not connect at all.

It´s almost like my cellphone provider has some exceptions on their gprs connection that makes connecting to a Windows or Microsoft server almost impossible.

Nevertheless, there is a walkthrough that curiously worked out and got me really pissed off as it happened a few times before I definetly could find out what was I doing that got everything working...

If I connect to the internet via Wi-Fi (By the way i´m not sure i must press the wi fi button twice on the command manager in order to get it up and running), I can do both things: log into Windows Live Messenger and use the full featured messenger client (send files, pictures, see avatars, send voice, etc) and log into any microsoft website (say http://mobile.live.com).

Til here, everything goes to the cellphone provider.

Here comes the weird thing:

If I turn off the Wireless network after login into messenger, the software automatically looks up for the lost connection and re-connects to the web using GPRS (EDGE) and manages to login successfull, so I can see messenger contacts and chat with them using gprs (edge). But I loose all the internet brownser ability to browse microsoft domains (mobile.live.com

I´m not sure if this has to do with the CHAP or the PAP GPRS autentication. I have tried both without waiting any time before attempts, with no luck.

Also, I´m not sure if this could be related to the EDGE network, as I previously owned a symbian sonyEricsson P910a that did not supported Edge but could connect with no trouble to Messenger through IMPlus.

I´ve also tryed the IMPlus version on the pocket pc with the same bad result as using directly Windows Live Messenger.

Any ideas?

Could it be possible to disable the EDGE network and use exclusively GPRS via Regedit?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] danielvelez:
Trying everything now. Even downgraded and upgraded again...

I can surf the web now using IE, even on the http://mobile.live.com site, but when trying to use Windows Live, i get a connection error and then a message saying

"Windows Live was unable to establish anInternet connection. Please check your Internet settings and make sure that you have access to data services under your billing plan. If you need help, please contact your mobile service provider.".

The incredible thing is that i´m actually using messenger beta directly on pocket internet explorer and it works, not quite nice, but it does, using wi-fi.

So why Windows Live can´t use this connection to log in?

Now, using GPRS connection, I try to log into http://mobile.live.com and it took too much saying opening... but it made it. But I was not soo lucky when i pushed forward to try to access the mail link on that site (that worked on wi-fi) as it got stuck at opening forever and finally it displayed an error. Same on any link under that page. It seems that it takes too long and crashes. But still I can go to any other site (Tryed www.sun.com right away and it downloaded quite fast a 200kb front page, so i´m not sure that this could be a Radio Issue.)

My Info:

ROM: 6.0.0.0 WWE

DATE 2/02/07

RADIO 2.69.11

PROTOCOL 4.1.13.30

ExtROM: Empty.

I´m trying windows-live-conection-fix from Faria right now...

Still when i try to login to messenger using windows live it says immediatelly There´s a connectivity problem.

I´m
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] its right:
i can't determine what is the exact error do you have, but i want to say it is working with me either with WiFi or GPRS, check out your settings carefully and try to set the settings as usual (don't use network wizard) and test.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] wizzzard:
I also can have intermittant connection problems using Messenger. It occurs on my Wizard (GPRS and Wifi) and on various PCs too. Before blaming the Wizard, consider it might be a problem with Microsoft and their servers. Usually on either PC or Wizard it will connect after a couple of tries for me. It could be that your provider has blocked the relevent ports or servers on your GPRS but I'm sure we would have heard from other users of your carrier if that is the case.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] danielvelez:
Ok. I´m from Colombia, and my carrier is called Comcel. There´s no Network wizard available for it at the moment.

Before unlocking my sim and messing up with the first wizard love upgrade (unfortunatelly i can´t find the original rom and probably i will need to extract it from my fathers phone if i can get a hand on it, but still will need to read all about it first...) I was able to connect to MSN without any issues at all. Even on my old symbian phone I used IM+ without any issues. Now that I upgraded it´s getting quite difficult.

Actually I can connect now without any trouble after a soft reset, using Wi-Fi, and it´s really nice. But I can´t get it to connect through GPRS (It´s definetly not a carrier issue as my brother has a WM5 wizard too that I won´t touch before I have this figured out first, and he can connect without any issues, quite fast, using an old 2.17 radio version on his G4).

The strange thing is that I can fly through the web (i´m now installing gmail-g.jar directly on my phone through gprs).

The strange thing is that when I go to www.microsoft.com or mobile.live.com i get stuck on Opening... and the GPRS connection goes too slow. Probably checking something...

It´s like under gprs there something going.

I´m aware that all the symptoms are saying something about carrier permits... but still with my sim card on my brother´s phone (it´s not my line) it works without any issues.

Now, I have started up the Wireless LAN again and it logged in right away on windows live messenger (it´s really nice...).

Then I went offline again, get the wireless off on the cellphone, get the messenger up and running on my vista computer, and then try to login into the phone using again gprs....

Miracle!!! I get logged out from vista!!!! but it doesn´t get all the way there on the mobile phone, as it get´s stuck on signing in... (Not enought)...

Now logged of from vista, I try to login again on the cellphone, no luck...

And loose the hability to navigate into mobile.live.com

Ok.

I do it one more time from scratch.

I soft reset my device...

then I go to internet explorer mobile and type http://mobile.live.com/

It starts the GPRS (Edge) connection right away... and goes to Opening... on the status bar... No luck.

But still I can download mail from the java applet of Gmail, and go to any other website, and even load google maps on the device under gprs...

So it´s a Windows Live issue that seems to have something against my gprs connection.

I was wondering if it has anything to do with CHAP or PAP autentication, but on my carrier they dont really know as they are charging me with their calls, as they don´t care, and I have tryed both but there seems to be no difference.

Anyway on my brother´s wizard the settings are exactly the same as mine on the gprs conection...

I will try to make my cellphone gprs connection work like a modem for my pc and then I will try to navigate the web and login into messenger from my pc using my cellphone gprs connection to see if i can do it, and then I will get back at you.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] its right:
our network had this issue before, but they solved this later (thats b4 1-2 years)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] danielvelez:
Ok. I´m gonna try, one by one, the different radio versions that are on the radio-only forums.

Still if you know where can I get my hands on radios 2.17 and 2.49 (2.49.11) is the one that came originally with the phone and it´s the one that is on my father´s untouched wizard...

I´ll get back on you if i found anything...

By the way, does it has anything to do with the regional settings? Mine is Spanish Colombia even when i´m using your TNT 5.0 OS. Still I have run the keyboard spanish patch in order to get my keyboard layount right and i´m still only two signs off on the keyboard but it´s almost ok.

I know that this is not the place, but i´m off on the "D" key that it´s suppost to be a "+" but instead it´s showing the "Euro" symbol (don´t have that on my latin american pc), and on the C key it´s supposed to be a "Ç" instead there´s the "+" sign.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mitchie55:
I had this issue the other day, luckily I work for the provider. The issue is with the gprs apn that you are using. If ur provider has multiple apns, then try another. If not u going to have to wait until they resolve their issues.

Dont worry, it isnt the phone and it isnt the ROM. I had the problem too when I just put tnt 5 on my device. Its a problem with the provider.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] danielvelez:
Thanks Mitchie55. So I will rest my case trying to flash, reflash, upgrade and downgrade radios, and try to trick out the registry for Windows Live security policies... Anyway, what´s exactly a GPRS APT and how can I check if my carrier has more than one GPRS APT? Are those ports? Can I check them under the GSM Test Mode screen (*#*#364#*#*)?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] danielvelez:
After all my messing around with Windows Live Messenger´s connection issues, i came along a Registry String that got my attention.

It´s not that I want to panic everybody, but on the TNT 5.0 Profesional with HTC Today release there´s a registry line that states:

HKLM\Services\Windows Live\Platform\Passport\PolicyExpiry

String 2007-09-25T19:16:57.9251948Z

I´m wondering what will happen on the 25th of September at 7:17:00 pm UTM...

Any ideas?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mitchie55:
Its APN - Access Point Name. Thats what is needed when u create a Cellular GPRS connection to connect to the internet.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] purrfect:
im having the same issues, im with rogers wireless in canada

everything works except for the windows mobile live

i updated the software and i'm running ver. 10.6.0033.0600

on an x7500/athena updated to wm6 (originally shipped with wm5 from expansys)

i contacted my provider and they said they dont have another access point name for me to use other then the default one they provide

and they claimed it was a windows mobile live issue,

i tried this in my treo 750 as well and still nothing is happening

thats 2 devices now that dont work ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

i cant figure out what i'm doing wrong.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZombieSleeper:
I'm usually fairly good at troubleshooting my own stuff but this really has me stuck in the same place for a few hours now.

So basically Flipboard has been nagging me(well play store is, not the app itself but anyway) so I said to myself why don't I uninstall it since I've never used it and don't plan to, and besides I hate to have pointless apps installed. So I open TitaniumBackup and I see it is installed as a system app, I thought what's the worst that can happen? so I do uninstall it and a minute later my phone shuts off. I try to turn it on and it doesn't go past the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 flash screen, it either reboots or stays like that.

I try to go into recovery to restore a backup and I can't, it is stuck at Recovery Booting and again it either stays like that or reboots and does it again and again and again.

Now, I haven't made any changes or installs on my phone for weeks now, so this is either because I unistalled Flipboard(I know I shouldn't have risked it since it was a system app but I really could not see it going this way) or the hardware is on it's way out(don't see what else could it be).

I figured I should flash a stock rom with odin, I can get into download mode, and reinstall everything from scratch.

I took a stock image from xda and flashed it and it does exactly the same thing.

Right now I'm downloading another stock image from sammobile for my country/provider to see if this will change anything.

What else can I try? I'm completely stuck and I really don't want to send the phone back like this, I doubt amazon is gonna be happy about it.

Specs:

N910F

Emotion Revolution 12.1 Rom

POK1 BL&CP

TWRP 2.8.7.0
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZombieSleeper:
Really sorry for the double-post. I'm quite desperate and need my phone for work.

Since last post I've tried flashing N910FXXU1COH4_N910FH3G1COH3_H3G.zip through Odin from SamMobile and it did the same thing with rebooting constantly.

Then I've installed Kies and went to Tools -> Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation and gave it the model and S/N and it downloaded something and everything went all right, the phone reboots and I'm back in the same circle, it just shows me the splash screen(in some video's I've seen that after this procedure they get the splash screen and then the android bot with a progress bar, I don't get that, I only get the splash screen and reboot) and reboots.

I thought this was a last resort thing? Is the phone completely dead or is there something I can try?

Again sorry for the double-post.

Update: still no progress so I've contacted Amazon and they said to send it back so hopefully this works out in the end, no matter how annoying the waiting time will be, if you do have any suggestions on what I should try please let me know as I haven't posted the phone yet.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ilumod:
Hi!

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505, which is not booting anymore after I tried to change the sim card tray. It gets stuck on the Samsung logo at boot. Recovery won't boot either. (says recovery booting but does not boot) I can only get it to download mode. I tried reflashing recovery with heimdall. Is there any way to recover data or fix the phone? I know it could be a hardware fault that's practically impossible to fix. Strange symptoms for a hardware fault though. Just looking for any ideas. It would be nice to at least dump data from it or get recovery booting.

Thank you for your help!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Try a different bootloader.

Or flash another rom with Odin.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ilumod:
Where can I find a bootloader to install? I tried googling a bit but couldn't find a clear answer. Do the modem files also have the bootloader, should I flash a new modem file?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Modem and bootloader are different files.

You can find modems and bootloaders this thread. You may have to scroll through the comments to find what you're looking for.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ilumod:
Tried flashing a new bootloader. Now I get a message that "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" It still does not boot into TWRP recovery. I tried flashing another version of TWRP, but no difference.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Try this:

Open Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time, flash TWRP, when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove USB cable, remove battery, wait 5 seconds, replace battery, use button combination to boot into recovery. When the phone starts to boot, release the power button but keep holding the volume up and home.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ilumod:
Which version of odin would you suggest me to use? I tried with 1.85 and that didn't help. I'm starting to think that this might be a hardware fault, perhaps I broke something when tearing off the old sim card tray. Or the new part was faulty and somehow fried my phone. I have a backup from about a month ago. It was stupid not to take a backup before attempting to replace the sim card tray, but I tought it wouldn't be so dangerous.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BraianV:
Its not hardware problem. Hoy have a bootloop and Thats software problem. If you had stock recovery then the cause of bootloop also broken your recovery mode.

You will have to flash a full stock rom (Sam mobile web has them) or search here on xda.

A full stock rom has updated bootloader and módem, also stock recovery built in.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ilumod:
That also means losing all my data if I can't boot recovery beforehand. But perhaps I have to try that.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
If you had usb debugging enabled you might be able to pull the data from the phone.

Odin 1.85 seems really old. I mean really old. You should use Odin 3.x. I had success with Odin 3.09 in the past.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ilumod:
Would it be enough if I flashed just stock recovery+modem+bootloader or something like that? I had usb debugging enabled, but since I cant get the system to boot at all it's of no use.

Can I use adb in stock recovery? I think the stock rom won't boot with my current data still on the device. I had cyanogenmod 12.1 installed. Haven't had stock rom in ages.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
I prefer Odin 3.07 for all of my flashing needs. I have used it on a note 2, note 3, s4, s3, and s2.

If the flash fails, try different USB cables and different USB ports.
[Pixel C General] UK_Wildcats_Fans:
Great rant and information. I have been following your efforts and wanted to thank you. I can now understand the frustrations why it is more difficult than other devices. Thank you again.
[Pixel C General] charesa39:
Man... This is depressing. Here I was hoping this device was only a Pixel by name alone, and that it would function like any other Nexus device. That's a real bummer, as I was SO close to replacing my aging Nexus 10 with this. But, alas, maybe it just wasn't meant to be. I would've been willing to drop $600 on this, but not anymore. Unless they can magically flash PURE Android on this, and get rid of all the junk that ties it to ChromeOS, I'll probably pass. Or, maybe I'll pick one up after they start discounting it, realizing what a failure it was rushing it to market. It's a shame that other OEMs put a bunch of crappy UI skins on their tablets...
[Pixel C General] UK_Wildcats_Fans:
I bought the Pixel C to replace my N10. The Pixel C is a great device ; however, it has some known issues right now (touch screen & wifi). They are working on software solutions for them. Cheep5k8 has done some great development work so far - root with custom kernel. There is also an unofficial TWRP available as well. I still would recommend the Pixel C, but would suggest that you wait until the major issues are resolved. You can also follow the development threads to see progress. There are some great developers working with the device, so we will eventually get some custom options even if they are limited in some aspects.
[Pixel C General] Rox598:
Wow I knew some software was left over from the Chrome OS but I didn't expect all of that!

God damn Google wth
[Pixel C General] cheep5k8:
This is not going to happen. It would require very elaborate and extensive work on the firmware to make it appear like a true Android device, something that is not necessary for the device's first line of sale, and is sure as rain not going to happen just for the aftermarket. To be honest, they've already done a pretty good job at masquerading it as an Android device in the very short time frame they had, and it's still way problematic.

Still, I feel, and I'm not really sure why, that we can fix at least some things wrong with this device, but it's so damn messy. I mean, why would you leave the Write-Protect enabled on a device that effectively runs Android, especially if it's impossible for normal users, and thus developers, to disable it. Who's going to take the screen apart just to have some features added? Probably only the most die-hard of developers, and sure as hell no casual users who just want to flash a ROM. Some input from the Nexus team would have been really appreciated here.

I'm gonna try my best, but the past few weeks have been extremely frustrating. I just kinda want to enjoy the device for now, and that's just not possible once you start developing on an OS level beyond minor modifications to the kernel, so I'm taking a break, taking the device as it is (which is easier than I thought it would be, perhaps because in theory it is such a wonderful device), and focus on other things for the moment.
[Pixel C General] dkryder:
hey cheep5k8, nice work on the pixel c so far. you should be proud of your efforts in bringing what you have to users of this device. Do you have any thoughts on why google did not, or could not, make the pixel c a chromiumOS device?
