[LG G5 Questions & Answers] raynan:
Just jumping back in to say I've tried everything I can think of. I remember having a Motorola Atrix and having to tap a corner of the screen... I'm pretty much out of ideas. Adb devices does nothing in the recovery we can get to. My PC doesn't even recognise that there's anything plugged in.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] shaunco:
Same here... I've spent hours trying various button and tap combos with no luck. It is super frustrating that LG marketed this as fully unlocked.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] jkieffer46:
I have an h860n and was hoping it'd be unlocked as well- like you and your rs988. Got on lg's customer service chat and the guy refused to believe that the h850 had an unlock tool FROM LG, be let alone one for any others.

I do wonder what the "OEM unlock" switch does in dev options.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] zmankiller:
Man, I hope it gets unlocked bootloader, if so I'll try to trade it our for my vs987 asap
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] PaulieWallie:
It does nothing as far as I see, until we can get access to the bootloader menu.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] raynan:
It might just allow the LG tool to unlock the bootloader on supported devices.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] joshw0000:
It allows the fastboot oem unlock command to work in fastboot for phones with unlockable bootloaders. Read up on the T-Mobile G5 for reference.

I found a killer deal on a Verizon G5 on Craigslist. I'm waiting to meet the guy now. I'm going to poke around a little this weekend and see if I can figure anything out. I'm not very hopeful at this point given the development for the VZW G4 and V10.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] raynan:
The VZW and ATT models will almost certainly be the last to get root, nevermind the bootloader.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] joshw0000:
True. I doubt I'll use it for more than a day or so.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] joshw0000:
Hey guys I got to recovery. Just power off, hold vol down and power until you see the LG logo, release both and hold them again until you boot to recovery.

I'm still not able to get my computer to see it in recovery. Note, adb reboot recovery landed me at the same red Android screen that you guys found.

Overlook the stickers. It's worth more if I leave them on and I don't plan to keep it long.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] raynan:
Which model is this? Doing that on mine goes to factory reset.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] joshw0000:
VS987 (Verizon)
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] PaulieWallie:
Won't work on my RS988. [emoji24]
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] joshw0000:
That's odd.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Honestly Annoying:
Doesn't work on LS992 either... but regularly holding the power + volume down button gets me to the standard android recovery screen
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] joshw0000:
For me, it would appear to boot normal but I kept holding them and it would eventually go to LG recovery. Are you holding those buttons the entire time? Only let off for a split second when you see the LG screen and immediately hold them again.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Honestly Annoying:
I will try again and update

UPDATE: Let go for a split second, and held the entire boot. Still just booted as normal
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] joshw0000:
I can't understand why LG would change the recovery on different variants of the same device.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] autoprime:
because different carriers want different setups.. so LG obliges.

Sprint wants their users to be able to get into a stock android recovery with vol down + power.

everyone else requires letting go of the power button for a split second then pressing it again.. but only gets the factory reset option.

it's been like this for the G3, G4 and other devices as well.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] PaulieWallie:
Not even, the RS988 which should be the least bound up, doesn't respond to this sequence. It's bat sh*t crazy.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] autoprime:
looking through the RS988 files for the Brightpoint 10C OTA.. it looks like the device does not work like the T-Mobile version when it comes to being able to unlock the bootloader. Obviously adb reboot bootloader doesn't work but thought maybe it was like the T-Mobile G4 which just needed a way to get TWRP flashed to the device.

The RS988 resembles the locked G5s more. Still poking around.. will add more to this post if more is figured out.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] raynan:
Awesome, man. I have the fully unbranded/unlocked version from B&H. If you need any testing or more info, I'd be glad to help out. :good:
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] autoprime:
Nothing fun to report yet... can confirm fastboot and fastboot commands have been disabled as was any unlock. I sorta ruled that out anyway already but can confirm for sure after looking through code. And it wasn't me doing the code review confirmation.. it was IllegalArgument (huge part of Codefire) who confirmed that. Just don't wanna take credit for things I haven't done.

What I do have are some RS988 10C partitions if anyone want's to poke around at some of the bootloader/modem/downloadmode/kernel bits for whatever reason. Those can be found in my Codefire section HERE.

And I want to say thanks to [MENTION=4850604]PaulieWallie[/MENTION] for the donation sent today. I don't know what I did to deserve it but I certainly appreciate it. Thank you.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] PaulieWallie:
Just nice to know some is looking out for us less than savy technical people! Happy to donate to the cause in general, man.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] shaunco:
After banging my head on the wall for a few weeks now, I gave up on my RS988 and returned it to Amazon.

I bought an H830 (T-Mobile) from eBay for $419 (new in a sealed box). Installed the T-Mobile unlock app (pre-sim), did a full unlock, then followed instructions for TWRP and root. Took about 20 minutes and everything worked perfectly on the first try. Installed my AT&T sim (taken from my S5) and had no issues.

I wish you all of the best of luck on the RS988, but it seems LG went out of their way to advertise it as "unlocked" while they were simultaneously neutering recovery and fastboot.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
RS988 was advertised as carrier unlocked. Never bootloader unlocked
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] shaunco:
It was simply advertised as "Unlocked" (http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-RS988-Silver-g5), without any extra details. Everyone points at AT&T and other carriers as the ones forcing the OEMs to lock down the bootloader (T-Mobile being the exception), so LG advertising the phone as just "Unlocked" with no carrier involvement gave me hope that the bootloader was also open.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
I understand that. On B&H Photo they do tell you that it is unlocked and works on any carrier with supported bands though. I'm guessing to actually let it work on verizon like LG wanted it to be able too a pre-requisite was no boot-loader unlock. As in the same way that HTC is an unlocked version that supports verizons bands that is boot-loader unlockable but wont work on verizon without mods. But I'm with you. LG should let us unlock the boot-loader.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] bostski:
I had also bought this phone hoping the bootloader would be easier to unlock. I assumed that not being locked down by a specific carrier, LG would have more freedom to give the users what they want. Has someone started a petition about this? I decided not to buy a phone through my carrier and this phone is still just as locked down.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] misquia:
While a petition would be nice, you should try emailing the LG dev support team in the meanwhile like I did in hopes it reaches upper management. With more people arguing for unlocked bootloader access to the RS988, maybe something will change.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] bostski:
I contacted the LG customer service online and asked them if they could tell me how to access the Recovery mode, but I did not email the LG dev support team.

The customer service webpage I used was https://www.lg.com/us/support/email-appointment, but I could not find any other contact information on the www.lg.com/us website. A google search for "LG development support team" was not too helpful.

If you can tell me the email for the LG dev support team, I will email them also. I think that everyone should. The more people they hear from, the more they will likely listen.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] misquia:
The email I sent them was obtained from: http://developer.lge.com/footer/footer/RetrieveContactInfo.dev. It was: developer@lge.com.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] bostski:
Tylerxian, Thanks for the LG developer email. I will write to them also.

LG did reply by my previous request about recovery mode and factory resetI but only answered my question about factory reset and not recovery mode.

"You can perform the factory reset through the procedures below. Please be advised that doing the steps provided may erase all user data. Please make a back up before performing these procedures.

1 Turn the phone off.

2 Press and hold the following keys at the same time: Volume Down Key + Power/Lock Key.

3 Release the Power/Lock Key only when the LG logo is displayed, then immediately press and hold the Power/ Lock Key again.

4 Release all keys when the Factory hard reset screen is displayed.

5 Press the Volume Keys to highlight Yes, then press the Power/Lock Key to continue.

6 Press the Volume Keys to highlight Yes, then press the Power/Lock Key once more to confirm.

7 Your device will perform a factory reset."

I guess I will have to ask them again about recovery mode.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] raynan:
It was the same procedure on the G4. I'm wondering if there is a way to "hijack" the factory reset process to get into recovery...surely, that's how they actually reset the device, right?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] jeffsga88:
It was also the same procedure on the G2. Once Loki and bump were exploited to install twrp, you would get into the hard reset menu and hit yes and then you'd get into twrp. So if some type of exploit is made for the locked bootloader versions of the g5 it will probably be the same process.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Gambinos911:
Complications

Hey guys i'm having an even more complicated issue. My phone won't turn on unless i plug it in the charger and remove the charger as soon as i see the logo while pressing volume down the whole time ...So i can't even do a hard reset because of that !
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Kerrnel:
Latest update enables fastboot

As of Feb 2017, RS988 does now respond to adb reboot bootloader by going into fastboot mode

Can get device ID. Can not do much else at this time.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Kerrnel:
Now unlockable ... year late.

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] FAUguy:
But still no update to Nougat?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] alexnaoumi:
Nope....Biggest slap in our face
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] cbalt:
Which update is this and where can I get it? I tried LG Bridge and it tells me no update is available. I am on 11C.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Kerrnel:
It's 11d and came OTA for me when I first posted that message. It has 2017-01-01 security patch. Build #MMB29M.

Don't know where else you can get it other than OTA. I'd extract it and post it if I knew how.

(I'm now bootloader unlocked trying to build TWRP.)
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] xaviex:
Anything?

Any update on building TWRP?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greycobalt:
The screen on my 6P stopped working tonight. No idea what caused it (unless it was the May security update), but I've already processed a replacement through Fi.

What I'm trying to do now is to figure out how to (hopefully) use my phone while waiting for the replacement - I work from it a ton. At the very least, I'd like to save the data. I initially tried mirroring it to Vysor, but that requires the phone to be in PTP mode, which I'm not able to do without a screen.

Any advice on a complete backup/restore option that doesn't require me having a screen, or a way to remotely enable PTP? I'm not rooted and am running full stock. Thanks in advance!

[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nekooken:
Hi all,

Was just looking around the internet for keyboard options for the Pixel C (I'm not a huge fan of Google's ones) and came across the Brydge Air .

Granted the Pixel C is slightly taller (179mm) and thinner (5.5 mm) than most iPads, but pretty close to the iPad pro 9.7 (it's 9.5mm taller).

Size differences aside, would the keyboard work for android? it is after all just a Bluetooth keyboard.

I'm also open to suggestions too.

Thank's everyone.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] TheFuzz:
I had this problem on my 8525 after flashing one of many ROM's and now have it on my Tilt with stock ROM. When sending a new sms or replying to one, the screen defaults below the address part onto the bottom of the text portion of the screen. I know this is a reg hack that is needed, but for the life of me I can not find it in a search. This was a common problem on the 8525's after a certain ROM upgrade if anyone remembers.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Lavachild:
you mean where it cuts off the person's info you are replying to?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CorruptedSanity:
Yeah its annoying!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] TheFuzz:
Doesn't cut it out, but when you open the window to reply, it defaults to only showing the text area, and uses the bottom part of the screen as the point that it sets to show. Thus, the top part of the text reply window is off the screen.

And yes, it is very annoying. I gotta find the reg hack to fix this!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
As I recall it happens when the reg is set to use the right and left nav buttons to page down when using IE, it causes the sms to open at the bottom of the screen and you have to scroll back.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mark Crouch:
This question was asked by another Kaiser user.....guess you guys have all been busy flashing ROMs ;)

The answer IS a reg hack, and here's a link to the reply I posted - the OP hasn't responded to say whether the problem is now cured, but if it's the same issue I experienced on my Hermes, the above answer will work.

Post back....I'd like to know if it works (I'll be getting my Kaiser next month, so this will be something to add to the "Tips and Tricks" document I'm compiling from everyone else's posts :D)

Cheers,

Mark.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] TheFuzz:
Are you referring to the hack listed in the response above? Because on the Tytn II this value is already set as stated in that thread.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] austinsnyc:
No this is not the same issue the Hermes had when you set the D pad to scroll in IE that issue was the "text curser" would be all the way at the bottom of a screen no matter what cutting off half of emails and what ever else text was sent to you. there is nothing to fix this issue as of now. BUT when I compose a new SMS it ALWAYS starts at the address line not sure why your don't

Does anyone know more information about this particular oddity? My oneplus 2 has a triangle (left) and square (right) as the capacitive icons instead of dashes.

Tried looking up for images but to no avail.

Mine is the A2001 model (China, 4gb 64gb), and yes custom ROMs and everything works as it should, so it isn't a clone. It being the A2001 model makes even less sense as h2os' back button is the right instead of the left:confused:

Maybe the Display glas was replaced or there is a tempered glass screen protector on it which has this symbols carved in or something.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calex93:

Did you try reaching out to oneplus or visiting their service center?. May be this was part of initial batch of test phones. Or something like that.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foomanjackel:
Weird! Hey just curious.... If you use a ROM which allows button swapping, do the symbols swap as well? ...or just the functions?
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simeonoff:
There's obviously a tempered glass screen protector on top of the original one... remove it to uncover the light source underneath...
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calex93:
The icons don't swap, it's just shaped that way instead of dashes.

I had mentioned it was like that before I placed the tempered glass myself. I'm the one who placed it so I'm positive it wasn't some custom framed glass. I'll post more pics on this, as I could make out the square icon even if it isn't lit up.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] 4cid:
Alrighty. Im pissed. But not at the Dev's...

I have been trying to root my Verizon GS5 on 5.0 BOK5 (OK5) for about 3 hours now.

When I run the root.bat i get this message/error:

"adb is not recognized as an internal or external command"

then the instructions

Press any key to continue...

So i press enter to continue and it pops up saying it can't find Odin.exe. I click OK and it runs again, can't find Odin.exe.

I have tried:

Downloading Odin separately

Reinstalling the drivers twice

Installing Android Studio SDK (to try to fix the adb error)

Running as administrator

Agressive Googling alternative methods

Crying inside

Re-Extracting the downloadable folder

Using the root2.bat file included and following all THOSE instructions which give me the same 2 errors.

ANY ideas? Please? Im f*cking dying here.
