[General Questions and Answers] AnDrOiD_User97:
I thought to avoid unnecessary confusion I'd post in the General Questions as I'm unsure if it really fits in the others.

Anyway, I switched to Ultra Mobile recently, from Net10 Wireless. This involved activating an Ultra Mobile SIM, and swapping out my Net10 AT&T SIM. This unfortunately was the simplest part. Upon activation, I used the APN settings provided in the "activation" booklet that comes with the SIM. This resulted in a nice capital E lighting up my data icon.

As I am well within Ultra Mobile's LTE service area, with an LTE compatible device, I was quite frustrated. Changing the APN to ones suggested online to no avail, I called customer support. They were rather useless in solving my issue, the one I chatted with even suggesting I "wait for a whiel to see if connection improved" spelling and mechanics verbatim.

I am using a GSM unlocked VS985 (Verizon's LG G3).

Update: 4G connectivity works but not in my home area as I originally thought it would. Most likely the LTE bands on the G3 not supported by carrier in my area. Whatever the reason, works fine elsewhere.

Still need verified working APN to ensure MMS functionality.

Update 2. Talked with my friend who now works for AT&T, after working for Verizon for 2 years... Apparently, carrier signal coverage maps are to be taken with quote "several quite large grains of salt" and I'm probably just in a low signal area, contrary to the map's indication. Quite annoying but I suppose I can stop bothering technical support now.

Answers are no longer required but additional insight always appreciated.

So as written in the title, i've tried flashing different Supersu versions. I also tried doing so on official oxygen os, cyanogenmod 13 and now currently using paranoid CM, it would get stuck in a boot loop everytime i tried to flash supersu. Any help there ? I'm sure i haven't got root access already !

[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tanner1294:
If you haven't unlocked the bootloader then it won't boot into a modified system. To unlock the bootloader you need to reflash the stock recovery from here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/oxygenos.oneplus.net/OPX_recovery.img. Once flashed, boot into OxygenOS, go to settings, go to About Phone, tap on "build number" until it says that you're a developer. Back to settings, go to Developer, and turn on OEM unlock. Now boot into Fastboot, and on the computer you used to flash TWRP in the first place, use the command "fastboot oem unlock". Then you can flash TWRP and use whatever rom you like or flash SuperSU on OOS.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Basque_Barracuda:
I recently was given an Android watch as a present. My phone is a Casio Commando 4G. I know it is several years old, but I really like the phone. I heard it was possible to upgrade your phone with a custom ROM. I need to upgrade it to Android 4.3, though if it were possible to run Marshmallow, I would like to consider that. I do not know if my phone can handle any of this, and I'm fairly new to this sort of thing, so I may sound quite adorable in a negative sense. I do plan on buying the Cat S60, so I am just trying to squeeze life out of my phone until then. Any advice on roms will help! Thank you.

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Wullie32:
I just picked up my new LG G5 (international unlocked version) today but the phone seems to have a real issue with the Facebook app.

The app isn't there upon installation, can find no sign at all (have done a factory reset). When I download it from the Play Store (Install being the only option, as if it's not on the phone), it installs as normal. However when I try to open it, 'Unfortunately Facebook has stopped'.

When I then go to try and uninstall, I can only uninstall updates or disable - the phone has decided the app is now a system app. When I try doing that, the icon then remains on the phone but is not actionable, says the app doesn't exist on the phone. It remains in the app menu though, with the version listed as 'version stub'.

What is causing this and has anyone else found this issue (I've searched but can find nothing)? Is Facebook typically pre-installed on the international version? It seems to me like the app is supposed to be there, and is sort of half there in the code somewhere, and when it is actually installed, the Play Store version is interfering with the pre-installed version and locking it up. I cannot get it to open at all. I've read in a couple of reviews that Facebook and Instagram both come pre-installed - neither are on my unit (Evernote is) but Instagram seems to open ok, despite behaving the same way upon installation (i.e. becoming a system app which I cannot uninstall normally from settings).

Am I going to have to send this unit back and ask for another or is there a workaround (I can't root as I need my banking app to work)? I know it's Facebook and a bit of a messy app, and I know I can use the webpage on Chrome but frankly I don't want to do any of that, I just want to use the Facebook app as normal.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi, exactly the same problem as above now.... but this has only happened since a recent firmware update (couple of days ago...was a whopper of 490-odd MB update ....UK unlocked, V10d).

Previously , Facebook worked fine. After the recent update, facebook icon disappeared. Re-installed from play store and has never worked again.

Tried the 82.9.0.23.70 trick above and it worked, but it seems that the LG update half-thinks that facebook is now a system app because you can only update it now.... can't uninstall...

Sounds like a bit of a b@lls up with the LG update... half a system app now, that doesn't come pre-installed....and doesn't work....RESULT !!!!

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Wullie32:
I solved this problem with help from someone on Android Central who suggested installing the Facebook app from the Amazon App Store. It's a much older version and for some reason it didn't have the same problem installing. Once it was installed and running, I was able to update the Play Store version as normal.

Hey guys, new here, had my G5 since launch and only now am I having issues, only got around to updating my software and security software yesterday evening and since then my facebook app does not work and more importantly my fingerprint software, so It may be the update seeing as both of these apps have gone down since I updated. Hella'frustrating.

I have also tried multiple stock roms and rolling various software back but no luck both facebook and fingerprints do not work, feels as though something has been updated that is not being changed regardless of flashing the rom etc. LG are getting back to me tomorrow so I will post any updates.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] yarnt:
Hi! I am having the same problem with my LG G5. After updating the software today, the phone seems to think that facebook app is a system app. Before updating facebook app in the play store, my phone had the facebook app icon on home screen, but it was not working. After updating the facebook app in the play store, it doesn't open either. I can not uninstall it. Currently using Facebook lite instead of it.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] de4life:
The only way I was able to fix this was by downloading the older version via APK. Couldn't use the amazon version as it already thought FB was installed on the phone, and I can't uninstall it.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Sykobee:
Yeah, I have the same problem.

It's because an older version of the LG OS had a Recommended Apps section, and that disappeared with the last update, but it seems to have left a Facebook stub.

It's clearly an issue that LG have to fix.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] GuestD0365:
I had the same problem until i became a facebook beta tester, I've used it for a couple of days now and not had any crashes. Once you join up it installs through the play store.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] falsivas:
Hi, got it working eventually, but wasn't happy after faffing about, so eventually did a factory reset. Installed the facebook app (an older version) from the Amazon appstore. It then updated itself quite happily from the google appstore to the latest version and has been OK ever since (and has updated itself sine). Only thing bugging me is that I never took a note of the firmware version that screwed things up (only can remember the size - 493MB)..so don't know if the factory reset nuked it and kept it as it was (was it V10e ???) .....but whenever I check, my firmware is now current at V10d. UK. Unlocked.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] KainanMaki:
Guys, I want some opinions on this matter I'm trying to fix.

I bought an Taiwan HTC 10 (M10H) which comes with several LTE bands (not the ones I need).

I'm trying to make this Asian version to work fully as an US unlocked version to get those different bands.

You may have read my posts on this topic on other threads.

But in short, since the unlocked version is the right version for my LTE needs, I unlocked the bootloader and S-OFF the phone to flash RUUs. That went smoothly, and my phone was converted to US-Unlocked (and T-Mobile branded later).

All in hopes of having the very same possibilities, LTE speaking at least (AWS Band is my objective).

But for some reason I'm failing to understand, the LTE bands are locked and not changing after flashing this RUU or the T-Mobile one. I have absolutely the same bands no matter what.

I have also flashed several radios from different versions, but nothing changes.

Failing with the RUUs and Radios, I resorted to changing the LTE Bands with Qualcomm Tools (QPST/QXDM). That failed as well, and it will until we grab a custom -made from scratch- kernel. That remains an open possibility when CM13 is functional.

But I'm still clueless with the failure of flashing RUUs to achieve my needs. If the phone is the same -hardware wise-, why flasing the RUU is not achieving the expected results? (or what is not modifying to prevent my phone to act like an US Unlocked?). I'm not sure what I missing. A hidden partition that remains untouched?

Is there a setting based on my Serial Number? (in my case FA65HBN02308). Because that's pretty much the only value that remains the same after flashing RUUs. Also my phone is still being recognized by windows as an M10H (sometimes just HTC 10). Or maybe this is related with the RIL?

Anyways, you're invited to help :D
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] axelroll:
Hello, I guess I'm in a similar situation, I've an HTC 10 bought online which is Unlocked from europe, I'm in México, but it's supposed that LTE works here (Band 4, 1700 MHz) and is supported by the HTC 10. But I can only get 3g and an H symbol. I already went to Telcel (my carrier) to check if it had to do with the chip or apn or something, but no it's the phone.

I unlocked my bootloader, left it S-ON, flashed twrp and super su (following this guide: http://xdaforums.com/htc-10/how-to/guide-root-optionally-s-off-radio-t3373025) and then installed Elemental-X Kernel. I'm on 1.80.401.1
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] geotsai:
Radio bands are hardware dependent the last I checked. Flashing software wont change the actual radio compatibility. By changing the region, you'll force your phone to get updates with that line, but that's about it.

As for Telcel compatibility, I'm pretty sure that requires AWS LTE. LTE bands need both an uplink and a downlink. Just having one of the two bands (1700) wont make you AWS LTE compatible. You need full AWS B4 (1700/2100).
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] axelroll:
According to this site, the phone is fully compatible with the lte band, and is the same model sold internationally. As I mentioned, I unlocked bootloader, flashed recovery, kernel, root (Super Su beta 2.74 I think) could that have disabled the lte?

https://www.frequencycheck.com/carrier-compatibility/pAJDFX/htc-10-lte-a-na-32gb-htc-perfume/telcel-mexico
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] KainanMaki:
Are hardware dependant but this modem supports all LTE bands. Every region just enables and disables needed bands. Of course software can't solve this if your hardware does not support the bands. But the Snapdragon 820 support all the bands. Aside from the display, the rest of the hardware is the very same for every variant (being China the only exception).

Which bands are enabled depends on a set of instructions on Qualcomm NV values.

You can verify this with DFS tools or QXDM from Qualcomm (you need root and Diag Mode also).

The problem so far is that the Qualcomm kernels have an anti-tampering function (source: couple of guides), preventing modifications for GSM. I have already succeded in changing the values for CDMA, and there is another user that has reported the changes to be working on CDMA. But I was unable to do it for GSM. So we have to wait until CM13 works to try this option with a built from scratch kernel.

That still doesn't answer us why I couldn't achieve it. But for eg. mnguyen127 said it worked for him. So confusion continues...(at least for me).
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] mnguyen127:
Yeah, I still get Band 4 consistently albeit only in certain areas, which is interesting. The HTC 10 seems to have some interesting default band priorities, so it'll always choose Band 12 over band 4 unless band 12 is unavailable. If I more a mile out of my city to the next city over, all I get is band 4. If I stay in my city, all I get is band 12. I did some experimenting and when I used my LG G3, the phone prioritized band 4. I'm not actually sure if the LG G3 is able to connect to band 12; I just know that it default connects to band 4 in areas where my HTC 10 Taiwan based one won't. Also confirmed with another forum member that his US unlocked phone bought from HTC would default prioritize other lte bands over band 4.

The only methods I used were these: (order might not be perfect)

Fastboot commands

S-OFF

Root

TWRP

Changed MID/CID from Taiwan to US Unlocked

Flashing from 1.3 taiwan to 1.5 U.S Unlocked by using ROM (I think), which caused me to lose root but allowed me to updated to 1.80.617.1 by OTA. Afterwards, I rerooted and installed TWRP (probably some unnecessary extra step but I had to since I realized my radio firmware was out of date with my ROM) and flashed the 1.8 US radios, which updated my radio firmware. I used fastboot to flash the radio firmware, but I didn't do it through download mode. I think I did it through bootloader. I then manually flashed 1.80 firmware which caused me to lose root and TWRP but allowed me to keep my updated radio firmware, my new US unlocked CID/MID, and allows me to receive update directly from HTC on my Taiwan based phone.

I get band 12 and 4 consistently.

Sorry if I couldn't be more helpful

That "stupid" thing is absolutely normal... only free Linux machines are clean from backdoors, even from NSA backdoors... and only if you aren't using nsa selinux encryption algorythm.

For the rest, all of the operating systems produced by a software house such as Microsoft, Novell or other are backdoored by NSA.

Motorola SinergyOS is even backdoored by NSA, and SinergyOS is a simple OS for simple Motorola phones (you can find it on all phones, starting from the old T720i... except a few linux and windows mobile phones.. even backdoored).

Congrats on your effortless unlock and custom ROM flash. Your anecdotal success and unsubstantiated claims regarding the successes of others does not make the process objectively "easy", nor straightforward. I have flashed custom ROMs onto many devices, and this one is the most complicated, convoluted, and frustrating of them all.

Ahhh, the "YOU DIDN'T READ!!!!" mantra begins! I don't know if you're aware of this, but failure is how things are learned. It's how more cohesive, better written guides surface, and it's how people like you enjoy a successful root and custom ROM.

Perhaps they're not the best writers. I think it unlikely that writing is what they do for a living. But you know what? If you'd taken the time to read the entire threads, you would have seen every possible way to **** up and how to deal with it. But no. Assholes like you think there should be a one touch root because you're too ****ing lazy to learn a little bit about your phone. Sorry, bub. It didn't happen with this phone. It took almost 18 months to discover and develop the exploits that allowed us without developer editions to root our phones.

I should apologize. I should be sorry that you're too ****ing stupid to read through hundreds of posts on how to unlock a bootloader and root your phone.

Have you sent any money to the guys that developed the exploit? How much are you paying for any of what's here on this forum? STFU.
