T-Mobile just keeps dropping the ball with the LG-G4.

After continually blaming LG for "The lack of a Marshmallow (6.0) update" and with LG saying it's in T-Mobiles hands. LG has rolled out a 2nd 6.0 update to Poland.

Way to go T-Slow-mobile!
[T-Mobile LG G4] esjames:
For some reason Poland always gets the updates first. When I had the SGS5, Poland saw 2 5.0 updates first before we did. I guess they are letting them work out all the bugs;)
[T-Mobile LG G4] jamesd1085:
Most rumors i hear say that 6.0 is causing them to have to revamp wifi calling to work with the new system...from what i know of it wifi calling is what typically causes slow updates from tmo...also they are not blaming lg...they have had the update from lg the same amount of time everyone else has but are taking a long time to integrate their changes...it has been showing that it's in testing for months now on their site
[T-Mobile LG G4] Stories:
I wouldn't be surprised if this is the case, too. Wife has a Nexus 5X and the Wifi calling implementation in that phone has issues with SMS when Wifi calling is enabled.
[T-Mobile LG G4] sharpehenry:
I believe LG's research center is in Poland. That seems to make sense to research nearby areas than further away places in case things go bad. Easier to put out fires next to you than a mile away with the water bucket.
[T-Mobile LG G4] Mikekelso421:
Just be happy tmobile doesn't roll out updates like sprint does. I'm a service and repair technician for sprint. I've seen so many G4's hardware fail when updating to M. Be appreciative to the fact that tmobile wants to make sure their update is a stable improvement and not a buggy disaster. Because sprint has a lot of that going on. Lol
[T-Mobile LG G4] Alexsha:
They should release a version without WiFi calling. I don't even use that crap.
[T-Mobile LG G4] jamesd1085:
Many of us do...so be patient...i live in a dead zone for all carriers and rely on wifi calling...it would be a total disservice to many users to update without wifi calling
[T-Mobile LG G4] Alexsha:
I'm quite patient. Just saying many of us don't use WiFi calling. It wouldnt be much trouble to release without it then patch in later.
[T-Mobile LG G4] }{Alienz}{:
Google Voice as SMS > ANY Wi-Fi calling.
[T-Mobile LG G4] KennyG123:
So...you are complaining that a US carrier has not updated their firmware to what somewhere in Europe has in spite of it being a well known fact that US carrier branded phones usually take months longer to update than the unbranded phones in other parts of the world? This is something that is well known since the beginning of Android. The process goes: The pure google code is released, the manufacturer adapts it to their devices, it gets released to unbranded phones, it is also sent to branded carriers to add all of their crap to it, then it is sent back and forth between the manufacturer and carrier until it works flawlessly including updating and converting all data, including carrier bloat in an OTA package. This is then tested on a predetermined batch of test phones. Then when the carrier is happy with the OTA, then they decide when is the best time to release it and request time on Google servers to do so. It is also kind of selfish to say "Just give me the version without wifi calling since I don't use it anyway" without thinking of the million tech calls and posts they get about wifi calling not working. Also do not believe anyone you talk to in any customer service of LG or T-Mobile...they do not know what is going on and are told what to say. I could tell you some stories of some of the stupid answers I have seen from customer service reps. It actually looks like AT&T and Verizon are in the same boat as you guys...no MM yet.

If you or anyone are the type of person that needs the latest software that Google spits out and like being a beta tester for them, then why have you not purchased one of the Nexus devices with immediate updates and no carrier branding or bloat? They work great on T-Mobile and band 12. I went Nexus 6P in Sprint myself and will never go back to a branded phone.
[T-Mobile LG G4] dclaw_fantum:
The hardware failure has nothing to do with software updating. LG has released a statement recognizing that there is a problem with manufacturing; they blame a loose component connection.

As for the T-Mobile testing status: it has not changed from "Manufacturer Development" yet. T-Mobile is not officially conducting tests on the update yet.

View attachment 3628050
[T-Mobile LG G4] fishman0919:
Yes, I'm sorry. I really didn't complete or finish my rant. I do understand how the update, testing and all works with T-Mobile. Being an employee, I know the stance T-Mobile is taking... "Not our fault!" T-Mobile is tell us that the update is not available from LG but we all know it is. Everything is ready but they simply won't start the process. So went I said "T-Slow-mobile!" it was coming from knowing and frustration.
[T-Mobile LG G4] mingkee:
Fortunately, mine (both G4 and V10) don't have such problem.
[T-Mobile LG G4] KennyG123:
Ah, yes. I see now. So someone has let you know that the full OTA package has been fully tested and just waiting for them to say "go?" That could be a bit frustrating. I hate to say it but they may be waiting until the G5 release at the end of February. I hope that is not it and they just want to gear up their tech support for any issues that might arise.
[T-Mobile LG G4] Thunder_PC:
I laugh every time I read one of these posts where people complain about not getting carrier updates quick enough to suit them. It's usually the same people that will complain about too many bugs on quickly released software.

You want immediate updates? Buy a nexus.

You want quick updates? Buy global, not carrier models.

You want a carrier model? Quit complaining about how long it takes them to release software updates.

Carriers always have been considerably behind the global "unlocked" models on software updates. It will always be that way, and for good reason.
[T-Mobile LG G4] ploopower79:
The same type of person who would complain about every custom ROM and battery life and custom kernel settings and unnecessary governors aaaaaaand don't forget he wants YOU to make a step by step tutorial just for HIM. I swear man you hit the target with this one...I've been around since the htc g2, the nexus 4, galaxy s4, xperia z1, and now lg g4 and these types of people never go away.
[T-Mobile LG G4] Kingaries79:
Absolutely. It's kinda pointless
[T-Mobile LG G4] Joe USer:
It's your fault.

Want regular security updates? Buy a Nexus.

Want recent bug fixes? Buy a Nexus.

Want clear communication from LG or T-Mobile? Buy a Nexus.

Don't like the Nexus design? Buy a Nexus.

Remember folks, you need to make sure that you live within the constraints set by T-Mobile and LG for the G4. It's your fault for wanting things like regular updates or clear communication.

After all, you're paying them. ;)

WiFi Calling vs Android 6.0

WiFi calling doesn't work very well for me. I am in a bad cell phone zone area also.

However, I always use WiFi at home to save data.

In the big picture, what is more important, Android 6.0 ir WiFi calling ?

I had Lollipop 5.1.1 on my LG G3 and it worked great.

Most people don't remember the fact that 5.1.1 has a search function while in Settings.

I found that extremely helpful for me. And it had the PIE submenu.

I think LG shortchanged everybody by not rolling out 5.1.1 on the G4.

When you consider that the manufacturers don't usually support a particular model for more than 2 years,

it totally sucks that they haven't upgraded the G4 for over 6 months!
[T-Mobile LG G4] jamesd1085:
As far as the big picture i would stay on 5.1 permanently before upgrading to 6.0 without wifi calling...but i would like to see 6.0 hit tmo g4 so we can use the aosp roms available to the h815...I'm willing to wait but they need to get the ball rolling and get us some timely updates
[T-Mobile LG G4] mymeatb18:
How can you use aosp with a locked bootloader?
[T-Mobile LG G4] jamesd1085:
H811 is bootloader unlocked out of the box...are you new here?...all you have to do is check enable oem unlock in dev options and flash twrp with flashify...right now only a few aosp roms work with h811 and they are buggy and no longer receive updates...but with a 6.0 bootstack for h811 we could get all the great aosp action that h815 unlocked users have gotten recently
[T-Mobile LG G4] mymeatb18:
Yeah I'm new to the g4. Sorry thought it had an unlockable bootloader judging by the lack of aosp roms
[T-Mobile LG G4] Alexsha:
All I'd like is a manufacturer that releases all it's phones with unlocked bootloaders (or unlock tools) and drivers/kernels available for developers, regardless of the carrier. That'd be nice.
[T-Mobile LG G4] Sfkn2:
Stop complaining. Marshmallow just got released for TMO US H811 via LG Bridge.
[T-Mobile LG G4] genesixxbf3:
that's the result of buying carrier phone

[T-Mobile LG G4] mymeatb18:
The phone does feel snappier can't comment on battery yet obviously but not much different in looks.
[T-Mobile LG G4] sharpehenry:
well, only features i really care about is doze and adoptable storage. I know doze cannot be modified as google specifically mentioned that, but not sure if LG will take the adoptable storage feature away. that way we can combine both internal and micro SD card as one big storage, then no need to worry about filling up 32GB internal with apps. tomtom GO app is 7GB+ for united states alone.
[T-Mobile LG G4] LGVfan10:
Sadly adoptable storage is n/a on the t- mobile and AT&T update according to Android Central.

hi

i was trying to have a repartition on my gt i9100

and the repartition failed

then when i powered on the phone i noticed that the internal memor was approximately 5GB and there was no external memory i couldnt put any files on the phone when i connect it with the computer

i want to know where did the remaining memory gone and the steps to return it back and flash a 12.1cynogenmod

and i need suggestion on some stable nightlies and unofficial stable roms for daily use
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenjyTec:
Go to recovery and wipe everything and then flash ROM and Gapps. Sometimes the wipe is all you need to get storage working again after repartition. I absolutely can recommend Cm12.1 by [MENTION=6159291]Lysergic Acid[/MENTION]. It is almost stable and Android 5.1.1, check it out here:

New 6P (today), upgrade from Moto x 2014. On Moto X, use tethering no problem (just verified) with only standard OS Settings.. New phone says "Authorizing".. , then says to contact AT&T.

How is this possible when OS and APNs are identical? I DON'T have a tethering plan.

How to fix?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech_head:
There is a tethering provision flag in the build properties file.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l_stevens:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech_head:
I answered the question.

It's in the build properties.

The build properties on the two phones are different.

It has nothing to do with the APN and everything to do with the provisioning of the phone.

Also it's a Nexus.... Why didn't you root?

Unlock the bootloader and root the darn thing, at least if you wish to tether.

It is a Nexus and meant to be rooted.

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joes6789:
Have read a ton on XDA and elsewhere, to the point that I have too much information, and I think it's likely someone with more experience could point me to the right area to focus on. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

Where I started:

Was a total noob, had never tried to flash anything or use command line

One day my stock Kindle Fire HD 8.9 just stopped working on its own. Not sure why -- I never tried to root it or hack into it. I had left it plugged in for a week and it felt a little warm.

Powering on would get to the orange/white Kindle Fire screen, and then the screen would go blank and stay that way until powering off.

I just wanted to get the Kindle running again, preferably with stock OS or something that still allowed me to use Amazon Instant Video.

What I've accomplished so far:

Successfully got fastboot running! Originally through First Aide and now through command line too.

Successfully got TWRP 2.8.7 running! Downloaded the TWRP image and used fastboot to flash recovery.

Also flashed kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.4.6.img and kfhd8-u-boot-prod-8.1.4.bin from the instructions on XDA's 2nd bootloader page.

Tried using both First Aide and the SR Tool to restore system back to stock, but neither seemed to do anything. Even flashed the system.img included with the SR Tool manually using fastboot, but Kindle still won't successfully launch. Also tried the "Restore 2 Stock" program, which says it cannot find a device in TWRP mode (likely related to my ADB issue cited below).

Where I'm at now:

Now when powering on (in normal mode), Kindle stays at orange/white Kindle Fire boot screen forever. Screen no longer goes blank afterwards.

Can get to TWRP, but only by using "fastboot oem recovery -i 0x1949"

Strangely, ADB NOT working. While in TWRP mode, I use command line "adb devices" and it returns "B0C91004245614ME Offline". I'm pretty sure I have the correct ADB drivers (while in TWRP mode, device manager shows two entries: "Kindle ADB Mode" and "Recovery ADB Mode").

Obviously I have no backups of original system/boot images because the Kindle broke on its own and I've never seemed to have ADB access.

Questions:

Is there something big I'm missing in order to restore to stock? Intuitively, it seems like I should be able to just flash a working system image from fastboot. If I can't restore to stock, I'm fine installing another OS -- would just like to get the device working again.

I doubt I would have enabled ADB access before the Kindle broke. Is that the reason that the "adb devices" command returns "Offline"?

Have not tried gaining root access. Is that a prereq for using ADB and/or restoring to stock?

-Joe
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monster1612:
Regarding your questions:

1) Hashcode created a TWRP-flashable ROM zip for Amazon's stock OS., which you can find in this thread. You should download the 8.4.1 version from the d-h.st link in the thread, as the goo.im links no longer work because Goo.im (a former file hosting service for Android developers) shut down. However, beware the d-h.st (Dev-Host) links, as they are notorious for causing unwanted downloads and popups. Do NOT download anything executable (the file we want is a .zip, not anything else), as it can cause unwanted software or even malware to be inadvertently installed onto your PC (and in some cases, your android device).

2) Yes, that is why the command returns "offline" when you run it with the kindle in recovery mode.

3) No, root is not a prerequisite for either of those commands. (In fact, you'd have to have adb enabled before rooting the stock OS in most cases.) However, should you need root, the stock ROM that Hashcode built as a flashable TWRP .zip is rooted, and as long as you don't update the OS, your root should remain intact. :)
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joes6789:
Thanks for the answers and explanations Monster. I downloaded Hashcode's 8.4.1 ROM zip, but I cannot figure out how to copy the zip file onto my Kindle, given that I don't have ADB access.

I did some research and it seems that one workaround is to use the Mount USB Storage feature within TWRP, but I can't get that to work. When I try to Mount USB Storage, no new storage drive shows on my computer (nor in Disk Management), and the TWRP error log says "Unable to mount storage. Unable to mount '/data'. Unable to mount '/cache'. Unable to find storage partition to mount to USB." Furthermore, the mount menu in TWRP says "Storage: Internal Storage (0 MB)" -- that doesn't seem good.

Do you have any other suggestions, either on how to get the zip file on my Kindle, or another alternative method to get my Kindle functional? Perhaps flashing something else directly from fastboot? Again, appreciate the help!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monster1612:
Boot into TWRP, then when you're in, choose Advanced -> ADB Sideload. Check the boxes that say "Wipe cache" and "wipe dalvik cache." Swipe where indicated to sideload, and hook up your kindle to your PC if it's not already connected. Type "adb devices" into a terminal/command prompt, and you should see a device that registers itself as "sideload" in the list. If you do, then type "adb sideload path/to/file.zip", where path/to/file.zip is the location of the downloaded 8.4.1 ROM zip. The ROM should automatically copy and flash; keep the kindle plugged in until the flashing process is complete. Any luck?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joes6789:
Yes, the adb sideload worked!!! (just had to update my adb version to 1.0.32) Kindle seems to be fully functional. Thank you so much Monster!

Last thing, do I need to worry about OTA updates or anything in the future that might create a conflict with the bootloader or ROM I'm using?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monster1612:
I believe that the OS is properly patched in Hashcode's stock ROM, so you shouldn't need to worry about OTAs or a conflicting bootloader. Glad to see it works again! :)

Honor 7 is a very good phone never been so surprised over a phone in this price range has so good quality and functionality have to add it has the best fingerprint sensor out there and looks great. Enough about that.

Huawei have released the kernel that stopped devs to start developing not so long ago. So there is nothing in the way anymore. Or is it anything more?

Was looking around and came over someone who was willing to pay for a dev to do this Job for him on Guru.com hes Guru Username is CU T and from Malaysia he got ok rep on the site. He offered $3500for the job.

Here is hes listing on Guru.com

Clicking the Quotes then this picture bellow shows.

Only one that had a offer. I do not know how much time this takes but would it take a year and $24000 to make a unofficial port to Honor 7?

Get involved everyone and post on cyanogenmod official forum link is provided at the end and ask for a Unofficial port! HONOR 7 is better than so many smartphones on the marked they have supported.

sarcasm is hard to get across in text... but i tried..

I'll drop this in just for fun.. codeworkx (an awesome CM dev) did and unofficial CM for honor 6...

good luck :silly:
[Honor 7 General] btb55:
Agreed sminki.

I certainly don't 'need' anything. I have a great phone and am grateful for the updates and tweaks we already have. The two other phone in our household have CM and I much prefer my H7.
[Honor 7 General] sminki:
i was a bit harsh, and in a bad mood, so to put my point a little more diplomatic... :p

to get CM (or any other) on here will require someone with dev abilities and the handset, because it cannot simply be "ported" over, there is no base to work from as such, it has to be built for the handset. someone with the handset and drive to get it done will, not because people want it, or because of a thanks button.

shouting "i want" in a forum, be it here or CM isn't going to suddenly make a capable person do it. paying someone will only end in disaster, they're not doing it for the 'right' reason, and even if they cook up something and not just "take off with the cash" - long term will offer no support

just to make myself even more unpopular, i prefer OMNI anyway :laugh:
[Honor 7 General] vobiscum:
why this?

CM is aosp rom as other nothing special same things for the last 10 year only news is CAF version.

PA stop developer and same AOKP and all aosp rom are similar

EMUI is a new way have a good battery saver and lot of feature that we missing with aosp.

if want modding the only best devices are Nexus easy step for root/recovery all team support device and all source are available on Google site.

Obviously my thoughts
