They all are same processors albeit using different hardware for modems. I dont have video call option in dialer and never noticed it since i dont have any use for it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] coderch123:
Sorry if this question does not belong here, I'm a noob. A few days ago I was trying some things with the sunshine free apk and after a few minutes I got a message that said "congratulations now you have temp root", then I installed TWRP through google play, rebooted into recovery and it worked. At that time I did not try to install a Custom Rom through this method because I wasn't sure about it, my question is Can I install a custom rom doing with this method? (like the google play edition sensified rom)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] robocuff:
I'm not really sure what to tell you. If you managed to install TWRP without getting S-Off and an unlocked bootloader (never heard of this) I would think you could flash a rom. However, I don't know if it would work for you or not. If the rom comes with a boot.img file, it would almost certainly fail to flash that part of the rom. You would need an unlocked bootloader for that to work. If the system part of the rom did flash, it might be nothing but headaches if it relied on the boot.img. I'm not even sure if the system would flash without an unlocked bootloader. My guess is probably but I think you might be in for a world of headaches if you do it. I would recommend just running sunshine and paying the piper :) . Maybe somebody else more knowledgeable than me can answer and tell you for sure. I'd tread lightly on this one if I were you. I just don't know for sure. All I know is that boot.img isn't going to succeed.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] coderch123:
Thank you, then I'll have to buy the full version of app
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cntryby429:
I suspect you haven't accomplished as much as it sounds. I don't believe you can flash a custom recovery with s-on and a locked bootloader. When you ran sunshine, did you go all the way and pay for it or did you stop after gaining temp root? Temp root may allow something like the TWRP app (different from the actual TWRP recovery) to think it's done it's thing without the flash actually completing. When you say "it worked" do you mean you booted all the way into TWRP recovery?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] coderch123:
Yep, I installed the app from google play and then it asked me if I wanted to reboot into recovery so I did it. I was able to use TWRP but I didn't try anything because I wasn't sure.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cntryby429:
But you're sure that you still have s-on and a locked bootloader? What happens if you turn off the phone and then enter the bootloader (volume up + power) and enter recovery from there? Does it take you to TWRP or stock recovery.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] coderch123:
Here's a picture [IMG="HTC"]http://imgur.com/cq7sVoG[/IMG]
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cntryby429:
Ok, but if you enter recovery from hboot as in your picture do you actually go into twrp? I wonder if either the TWRP app (with temp root) was somehow able to boot twrp instead of flashing it to the recovery partition and booting to recovery or perhaps some previous owner flashed a spoofed hboot and you actually do have an unlocked bootloader but don't know it. Did you buy the phone new with this being the first time you've tinkered with it?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] coderch123:
I went to the States a month ago and I bought it pre-owned in Gamestop, so maybe as you said it is modified. And answering about the TWRP I tried to boot into recovery yesterday but I had no success (I got to the default android recovery).

Summing up I'll just buy the full version of the sunshine app and do this thing in the proper way, thank you for your help and time.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Why not verify first you are truly s-on with a fastboot getvar all

That way we can make sure someone didn't flash a faux hboot.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] coderch123:
Sorry for the delay. I checked it with fastboot getvar all and it is stock, there's nothing wrong with it. S-ON and locked bootloader.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] firejuggler86:
I kind of feel as if this should be a very basic topic and that I should not be having to post a new thread on it... but, out of curiosity, does anyone know whether or not the Android kernel-- which as we all know is a flavour of the Linux kernel-- can be updated through "patching" as the regular Linux kernel can? The reason I am asking is that I greatly prefer to run my device with a custom kernel that has extra features over the stock kernel, however, it seems like every custom kernel that is released is released as a one-shot deal, and that the only way to have a kernel that continues to be updated with fresh source is to run the kernels that are provided with the nightly ROM builds.

Of course, I could go the route of learning how to build my own kernels and add features to them.. but I guess my basic question is, does there exist any form of "general patch" that is periodically released by Google, or the Linux Kernel foundation, etc., that will bring your current kernel up-to-date with the latest system-wide changes (secuturity & stability fixes, etc), while leaving the bulk of the kernel and the kernel configuration in place? Or is that a totally unrealistic and impractical concept? I do build my own kernels from source for my laptop, but I know very little about compiling a kernel for android.. anyway, if there are any kernel devs still on this device's forum, what do you guys think?

Any feedback from knowledgeable individuals much appreciated.. thank you! :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
No. You would have to build the kernel and flash it yourself. You can usually find HTC's kernel source on their website for each device. You take that kernel and manually patch the updates yourself.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bernardogo:
Hello,

My LG G4 sometimes goes black screen just after taking a picture. It does not respond to any button press and if it is playing any music it just stops.

In order to turn it on again I have to remove the battery.

Is there any hardware issue related to this? Seems like I'm doomed to this, my former Nexus 4 used to do it also.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milan187:
Never heard of it bit I have not been around too long. Weird that 2 of your phones do it... Some app?

Maybe try a factory reset to rule out software. Did you try different camera apps as well?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bernardogo:
I always use the original software for the camera and both were unrooted.

I have also reset both and tried to cause it make it freeze again and both did it without any extra software installed on it.

The only difference between them is that Nexus 4 used to reboot(sometimes I could hear a buzzing coming from the auto focus system before rebooting) while LG G4 refuses to turn on again until I remove the battery.

[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] J32A:
any update on bootloader
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] manaox2:
The discussion is about an unlocked bootloader, not an unlocked carrier situation.

If an unlocked boot loader version existed, it would be called a developer version and it wouldn't be likely to be picked up in large enough numbers to see much real public development.

Basically, it will most likely be MONTHS before you see a leak or hack to unlock the boot loader if EVER. It will be a long time before you even see root if the G4 and V10 (just got root very recently) are anything to go by.

Since mobile device payments have become all the rage, carriers and device manufactures are extra motivated to lock down their devices. The Galaxy S7 and S7 edge (same processor as the G5) are so locked down (even on T-mobile) using Qualcomms secure boot methods that it does a check to verify the main partition before it loads the contents to memory meaning a root can only be done temporarily (live rooted) if an exploit is ever found and will have to be rerooted every reboot. Android developers are going to have to struggle with qualcomm devices especially to develop into the the future.
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] dtroup64:
If the G5 is carrier unlocked, then wouldn't we simply be able to purchase a T-Mobile variant, get it unlocked, and then use it with a Verizon Sim?
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] manaox2:
As long as you don't mind paying full price or carrying a second contract and T-Mobile agrees to unlock it. Hopefully development would still be decent with just the t-mobile variant.
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] billybob275:
Unfortunately Verizon is very strict on what devices can be activated with one of their SIMs. Most likely they would block a Tmobile or international variant on their network. This is the case with the G4 already.
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] thedrizzle:
We got root on the V10, not an unlocked bootloader though (yet). Here's to hoping we can get at least root on the G5 in the same manner...need those magic TOT files!
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] billybob275:
We will need more than the TOT file to root the G5. Starting with Android 6.0, Google made changes so that root requires a modified kernel. Changes to system.img will not be enough. Since this involves tampering with the boot.img, the locked bootloader will prevent the phone from booting at all.

Here's hoping we don't have a repeat of the G4 or V10 when it comes to locked bootloaders.

[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] andyroidking:

[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] joshw0000:
This is about 90% wrong. Checking OEM unlock in developer options is a prerequisite to unlock the bootloader on phones with unlockable bootloaders. It has nothing to do with carrier unlock. Verizon does NOT have a strict activation policy. I'm using an un-carriered Moto X Pure on Verizon right now. I've also used (in the past) a Sprint Nexus 6, both AT&T and T-Mobile iPhone 6/6+/6S/6S+ (unlocked), and un-carriered Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P. These phones will show as a non-Verizon device when you log into My Verizon but they work fine. All you need to use a phone on Verizon is the proper bands, the phone must be unlocked, and you'll need an active sim card (or a lot of time to bounce from rep to rep before one will finally activate your sim).

I haven't researched the T-Mobile G5 so I don't know if it has an unlockable bootloader or not. If so, you're entire post is incorrect.
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] UnderTheAir:
Do you guys think taking that wifi calling update will affect any possible rooting? It's annoying me but I don't want to screw myself.
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] Coycaine:
I really don't think they could have found and fixed a loophole in the bootloader or root so quickly, but you never know. As for me, I'm not touching it until someone much smarter than me looks at it and says its ok. A good rule of thumb for anything Verizon is if you want to root never ever ever never ever take an OTA! I think it took 2 OTAs (maybe 3 at most) for them to lock down the g3, so I'll stick with the original software until something happens! If root and an unlock/workaround for a bootloader are possible, this software is our best chance imo.
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] billybob275:
Regarding the Verizon activation policy, they are stricter than most carriers. Right now, the only carrier-unlocked Android devices they support are the Nexus 6, 6P, 5X, and Moto X Pure (I'm not up to date on which iOS devices are supported). If there is a carrier-specific variant of a phone, like the G4, G5, Samsung S7, etc, they will only activate their branded version of it. One example is the LG G4, which there are multiple variants, but only the T-Mobile and EU versions have an unlockable bootloader. Neither of these can be fully activated on Verizon with both voice service and LTE. If I'm wrong, please tell me, and I'll buy an EU G4 today. :good:

Regarding the unlock, there's a thread somewhere discussing the T-Mobile G5. It has the OEM unlock option, and can have the bootloader set to "unlocked", however it is missing some fastboot commands and there's some secondary lock in place preventing custom img files from being flashed to device, possibly something to do with the 820 cpu since it seems to be very similar to the US Samsung S7 issues.
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] joshw0000:
The devices you listed are correct + iPhone 6 and up. It's not Verizon that's preventing other phones to work on their network, it's hardware. All of those phones are built with CDMA bands, even though they're only using the GSM bands on AT&T and T-Mobile. Verizon is considered a CDMA network, although they're using GSM for LTE (and VoLTE). AT&T, T-Mobile, and 95% of international phones are GSM only. All we need is a phone that is unlocked (sim) and has the needed CDMA bands to use it on Verizon. Having an unlocked bootloader is an added bonus.

I went back and researched the T-Mobile G5 and international G5. They're saying the international G5 is also CDMA so it should work on Verizon, but there's no word on whether or not the bootloader is unlocked. The T-Mobile G5 has an unlocked bootloader but other issues are preventing root/recovery/etc and there's no confirmation yet whether or not it has CDMA bands like the International version... So still no word on whether either will benefit Verizon users. Time will tell and I'm very hopeful we can another Verizon capable phone with unlocked bootloader. It would be the newest phone with a removable battery and sd card capability (my 2 most desired features after root/BL unlock).
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] billybob275:
Thanks for the clarification. I haven't had a chance to experiment with it, but do you know if you can take a Verizon SIM that's already activated and put it in a phone that has the same CDMA and LTE band support as a Verizon variant (for example, the RS988 North America Unlocked G5), and have voice, messaging, and 4G data work? I realize certain features like VOLTE and WiFi calling probably wont be available since they require Verizon-specific software that most likely won't be on an Unlocked device.
[Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers] joshw0000:
