[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sikth1911:
Hi, hoping someone out there can point me in the right direction!

I purchased a second hand G3 LS990 running ZV4. Since I do not like running an old OS I decided to flash it to ZV8 and had some issues with the modem so proceeded to use TWRP to install PrimeGSM which worked fine..

A day later I thought I'd attempt ZV8 again with a different modem, when starting the TOT flash method I found on this site I noticed that the phone was being detected as a D855 so tried various DLL files and kept running into the CrossDL issue so made the mistake of trying to flash to a D855 rom, three Roms later I had a brick!

The phone currently freezes at the LG Logo, although I am able to get to fastboot, TWRP via fastboot, and Adb via Cyanogenmod recovery.

Fastboot is unable to erase or format partitions, also cannot flash and fails with write failure.

Adb cannot push files and fails with error closed.

All attempts to use fastboot update "rom.zip" fail due to the hardware version so I tried to merge a d855 and ls990 CM build which fails with either a baseband or signature mismatch..

I have been reading up and trying all sorts at this point with no progress in the last day so thought I might try a post before telling the wife I need a new phone!

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if more information is needed.

PS. I know there allot of these threads out there but after digging through the first couple Google pages of each search I have not found one solution which works for my phone.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sikth1911:
I managed to get the phone running again by following a guide I found in the forums
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhoneNoobs:
Havent read the guide but also happened to me to fix it i was lucky enough to have access to the os and to dl mode but not recovery and i too had different firmware on my phone so i changed the build prop to a ls990. Unaltered build prop, changed permissions accordingly and powered it off. Plugged up to lg flashtool and used the original ls990 dll with zva tot and bam got it flashed no problems.

[LG G Flex] imamuse:
I'm trying to connect with my bluetooth speaker (iHome) and now every time when I press the search for devices on my phone it crashes. I tried not turning on the bluetooth speaker to see if it would crash when it couldn't find anything to connect and it behaves normally - it says it couldn't find any device, but then I turn on the device and set it to discovery then the phone app crashes again.

I've tried clearing the data and cache to no avail. It still has my headphones when I go back to the app even after a restart and still can't connect.

Anyone have any solution for this?

If I have my bluetooth headset on when I get to work it then crashes several times in a row because it restarts then crashes again over and over until I just finally have to turn the darn thing off - this is a real hassle. : (

Thanks for any help

Does it work for sure? I read that it's a permanent problem and that maybe some apps are involved (like track Id)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronald_in:
hey guys, my problem is, that i can´t download new apps or update my apps via Google Play Store.

It goes into a loop. It downloads the App or update and when its finishes, it starts again from beginning

This happend to me after i updatet my Note 4 (SM-N910C). I installed an update with OTA.

The size of the Update was about 80 MB.

What should i guys ? I hope you can help me.

Thank you
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kinsman-UK:
I updated to CPB3 this week, and have experienced problems with the Play Store - getting the 'Connection Failed, Retry' Message, but only when on WiFi and only intermittently. It's very strange, as switching to Mobile Data or toggling Airplane Mode temporarily fixes it. I've tried clearing cache and data for Play Store, removing my Google account and re-adding it - but the problem persists, and it definitely only started after the recent OTA update. Only thing I haven't tried is a factory reset, but I'd rather not have to do that.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronald_in:
yes its exactly the same problem as mine. but i cant download by wifi nor with 4g. i also cleared my data and cleaned play store cache, but i still have the problem.

i dont know what i should do to fix it :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Czort666:
Same here. Neverending app's update. After system update.

---------- Post added at 12:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 PM ----------

But after restore play store to basic ver. See no problem.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kinsman-UK:
My Play Store eventually updated itself again though, so back to square one. I'm afraid I think the possible solutions at the moment are:

1) Factory reset (no guarantee this will work though - anyone willing to be the guinea pig?) :)

2) Wait for Play Store next version to see if that fixes it.

3) Roll back to stock 5.1.1 COJ5

4) Wait for next firmware update (Marshmallow?) to see if that fixes it.

Open to any other suggestions!

EDIT: Have also tried a different WiFi network, and changing the DNS server to Google (normally use OpenDNS). Also cleared cache in recovery mode.

Found this thread on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxynote4/comments/4b72v7/cant_download_from_google_play/

Seems it might just be a coincidence with the OTA, and it is a Google Play Store issue which we'll have to wait on Google to fix.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kinsman-UK:
Actually, I'm still getting intermittent 'Connection Failed, Retry' in the Play Store even after uninstalling all updates and also trying version 6.1.14. I'm back to thinking the OTA update to CPB3 might be to blame for my issues. Don't want to factory reset, but I'm running out of options as my data allowance for the month on mobile data (which Play Store does work on) is fast running out!

EDIT: Just unmounted SD card and the Play Store started working again immediately! Weird :/

---------- Post added at 17:04 ---------- Previous post was at 16:37 ----------

OK, just an update - after Unmounting and Remounting SD card, clearing cache on ALL apps, and updating to lastest Play Store, it is working normally again...for the moment... will report back if it changes :/

---------- Post added at 17:23 ---------- Previous post was at 17:04 ----------

...and problem is back. As soon as I went into Accounts, Google, and hit Sync, the Play Store stopped working again - not to mention gmail won't sync either. This problem seems to affect all Google services >:<

---------- Post added at 17:46 ---------- Previous post was at 17:23 ----------

Another update: just discovered this is affecting all Android devices in the home, including a Galaxy Tab 3 and an older phone. So NOT related to the OTA in my case. Have tried three different DNS providers, which made no difference. Guess I'm back to waiting for Google to fix this :/
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomxass:
Go to settings - applications.

Find Google Play.

Click on uninstall updates.

Then go to multitasking and close google play.

Open Google Play.

Download updates and apps.

Then go to settings in google play and click on update.

Then tap home button and new google play will update (if not restart phone and open GP and click update).

I had some 6.2.4? version

Now I have 6.0.5 (google have make some mistake with it).

Sorry for my English.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kinsman-UK:
Thanks - done all that multiple times, now on 6.0.5 and still having the intermittent problems. Other devices I have are doing the same thing, so I can only assume it is something to do with a Google update somewhere. Just tried the Store while typing this and it's currently not working though on 6.0.5.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomxass:
Try uninstall updates on Google Play services in applications (in settings).

And try wipe cache in recovery.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kinsman-UK:
Done all that, thanks, see previous posts. It is happening on EVERY Android device in the house, so not just related to my Note 4. So the only options are: it's either a Google services related problem, or it is a problem with my internet connection or router.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MindlessManiacs:
Kinsman-UK, does it still have problem for you?

I having a similiar problem where my play store suddenly wouldn't update, and if i tired to update it, it would force closed. I have tried different versions and all the method that are listed here but still doesn't work.

Even tried restoring the factory version and it wont' load either.

Any Ideas?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kinsman-UK:
Yes, I'm still having this problem - with every Android device in my home, no matter what version (KitKat, Jellybean, Lollipop), and on two different Google accounts. I have tried all the above solutions and more, with no success. My problem is as follows:

Play Store will give 'Connection Timed Out, Retry' when I try to access it over WiFi. Over mobile data I have no problem. However, the problem is intermittent - sometimes if I leave it for a while and come back, it will work over WiFi, but then 5 minutes later it will stop working again. Everything else works fine over WiFi. Accessing the store over 4G first, and then switching to WiFi seems to work *most* of the time as well.

I have come to the conclusion that it is either my router has a problem or my ISP has changed something - because nothing else has changed across all the devices. For now I'm just putting up with it for a while to see if Google resolves it somehow on their end, but eventually I will have to try a different router to eliminate that as the cause. :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kinsman-UK:
UPDATE: Today the Play Store seems to be working more often than not on all the Android devices in my home. We still occasionally get the 'Connection Timed Out' message, but it seems to be gradually improving. When it fails on my Note 4, toggling Flight Mode or switching momentarily to mobile data to get the Store up and running seems to do the trick. Still at a loss as to what the issue is, but seems like it's gradually 'resolving itself'. Apologies to the OP for 'hijacking' this thread, hopefully some of the solutions shared will be of help with their issue too.

EDIT: Just to confirm that as of today (next day) this issue seems to be resolved after getting an update to the Play Store to version 6.3.16.B-all [0] 2697688 (not sure if any other underlying Google Services components were also updated).
[OnePlus 2 General] tbiwalkar:
A true disappointed OnePlus user.

I use a OnePlus 2 and guess what ! It has been an awesome experience untill last week when my phone broke down.

OnePlus team has been very annoying when it comes to software updates these days. While every Flagship phone is updated to 6.0 marshmallow, I really don't know why OP software team is still behind pushing 5.1.1 updates on their current Flagship, The OnePlus 2.

Last week they rolled out the OxygenOs 2.2.1 update which broke my 2nd sim (no IMEI) , the fingerprint scanner and the proximity sensor. While I submitted my device to service center, I was shocked to know that my device was the 14th OnePlus 2 collected on that day for the fingerprint issue. No problem. I very well understand that OnePlus's OS is not fully optimized and hence the bugs.

I was asked to submit my phone for the inspection, after which I was told that my PBA (motherboard) was tampered due to the latest update (2.2.1).

When asked how, the team said that it was a random thing and then told me the no. Of affected devices submitted since morning (14 OnePlus 2s)

It's been 5 days and they say that my PBA would arrive in maximum of 7 more days as it is ordered from Bangalore.

This totally boggled me. I agree that India is a vast country but it should not take that long as there are excellent courrier companies like dtdc and bludart available. OnePlus should understand that we have paid for a premium device and we should get a premium after sales service. It should firstly keep a certain number of PBAs at the service centers. In case of unavailablity of PBAs at service center, the center should order the PBA on urgent basis via express deliveries. They should also share the tracking number of the same with the affected party for tracking purpose. Meanwhile OnePlus should be generous enough to give a decent dual sim standby phone.

Here, giving vague answer of delivery in next week is just not done. Especially in case of a Premium device.

Also n number of OnePlus service centers are closed down due to illegal sales of genuine parts without reciept (way to escape payment of taxes to the government). What are you doing OnePlus? And that too in a country like India which should be your biggest potential customer! Think over! IMPROVE! (Tejas P. Biwalkar - 9773939133 - tbiwalkar@gmail.com)

THIS IS THE TIME TO IMPROVE OnePlus!

[OnePlus 2 General] krishna442:
They'll send them to China.

Did you try reflashing the update before submitting? These customs care centers or respiratory center idiots try to steal us. Ask him for the old board if it's not in warranty. If you pay money for it, you have the every right to take your old board. Also, I once had problem with my Sony, when I took to repair center they said the same, your hardware is broken and needs to be replaced, it'll take 8k RS to replace it. But then I reflashed the recent update and it fixed it. Damn. I know right?
[OnePlus 2 General] akay193:
Broke screen and replacing it for ₹7000 is not worth. Hence bought OnePlus Two! Hope we'll get boost in development as soon as OnePlus releases sources for FP and LAF
[OnePlus 2 General] raunaqseth:
The old oneplus devices had that issue and many other issue but the one purchased after dec had no such issues... do not worry it will be fine
[OnePlus 2 General] redeuxx:
I guess things work different there. Often times, we don't fix phones part by part, support here tends to just replace the whole phone. It's that way with pretty much every phone manufacturer and carrier in the US.
[OnePlus 2 General] subbame:
I am also a OnePlus 2 owner from India. OP 2 is my first phone from OP. I live in Darjeeling and here people don't own much phone with fingerprint scanner and only few geeks like me knows about OnePlus company. One day my friend got LeTV (LeEco) Le 1s handset so he wanted to checkout software of my OP2 so when I tried to unlock my OP2 with fingerprint but even after trying for 5 times it didn't unlock so I had to unlock it manually with pin. He unlocked his Rs. 10000/- phone with his wet finger in one try. I didn't talk about my OP2 price and about OP anymore with him.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] syful_docs@yahoo.com:
Hi,

I have bought a htc m8 sprint version mobile that is rooted to unlock sim. Its working fine with GSM sim.

Now i want to install Marshmallow into it. Is it possible to install official RUU_M8_WHL_M60_SENSE70_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_6.20.651.3.exe

this release of Marshmallow at its current state? Means the rooted state. How could i install the official version? will it lock the device again for SIM?

Please guide me for the scenario.

Advance thanks to all the forum members.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Vcek:
You will have to manually install the firmware 6.20.651.x twice before using the ruu.exe or you can update OTA if you have stock rom and recovery.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] syful_docs@yahoo.com:
Where did i find the rom? Didn't anybody do the update? HTC says " If your Bootloader or device software has been modified, you may run the risk of damaging your device by installing the RUU."
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] syful_docs@yahoo.com:
Someone says "When you try this your mobile may be moved to locked".

That's what i am worried about. And if it is locked again, then how to unlock again?

Didn't find any content about unlocking HTC M8 sprint with marshmallow installed.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Vcek:
Sim Unlocking marshmallow currently requires you to downgrade to kitkat or jellybean and you will need SOFF to do that.

Device: Nexus 5X - LG H790 - 16GB

Hey guys!

I've spent the past... 7hr reading and trying different things but nothing seems to work.

Here's what happened: I was trying to install a custom rom which required a custom bootloader.

Everithing's good 'till I mistankenly flash the bootloader for Nexus 5 instead of 5X. And hell was unleashed... the phone got bricked as soon as I rebooted it.

It won't turn on, no matter the key combination: Power, Vol Up + Power, Vol D + Power, Both Vol + Power, the same while pluggin the USB to the computer, w/ and w/o the power key. It won't turn on.

On linux, the device is displayed as:

Bus xxx Device yyy: ID 05c6:9008 Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode)

And there's only one device generated, a TTY:

/dev/ttyUSB0

I can't see partitions. If I try to dd the device through the bus:

So, I'm lost here.... the best response I found was to contact LG and ask for a replacement. So, I already sent an email to them. But the fact is, that I live in Argentina, and the phone was bought in USA through a friend, so I don't know if that option is gonna work :(

Every help is appreciated! :)

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbalmaceda:
I'm on the same situation. I own a 32gb H790. I was taking random pictures with the google camera app, and suddenly it began to reboot, after that.. endless bootloop. I bought some usb c cables and tried to flash the original images (previous to that, it didn't had any mods, neither root). The flash somehow failed, and it didn't charge or boot since then, it only shows a flashing red light when connected. I couldn't enter recovery nor download mode either :( so the solution from the other thread didn't work for me. I guess RMA is the only solution for now.

I sent it to LG with a friend (I'm not from USA also), lets see what they say when they see it.
