[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
The only way to do that is to unlock the bootloader. (Only a bootloader unlocked to Developer mode will allow you to boot an unsigned kernel.)

Note that along with the freedoms that gives you, it will also permanently trip your Knox warranty flag, and this in turn will break certain Samsung TrustZone functionality... even if you return to pure stock. The latter should affect mostly things like Knox security containers and so forth, but I've already encountered a non-security related app being broken by this, even on a stock ROM. Note that this is most likely to occur on Samsung-derived ROMs, as they are the most likely to be dependent on TZ functions.

I was having sms issues on cm13, and it was suggested that I flash the TOT again.

Not sure what happened the first time I tried to flash the TOT, but I was following directions as always and just assumed it would work flawlessly as it has done in the past. It failed somewhere along the line but I wasn't paying too much attention .

Now the phone automatically boots into DL mode (after LG screen, unusual), and anytime I try to flash a TOT now the flash tool goes from "Waiting for Connection" to showing a PID and showing my IMEI as null (all 0's). After some googling around I realize that this is not good in the slightest. The flash tool will timeout after ~20s and try again, but just keeps timing out endlessy after 20s.

This looks to me like a brick but I don't have enough experience or knowledge to say for sure. If anyone has suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Try the 10B KDZ just for the hell of it. I'm sorry to hear you're having so much trouble. Don't do anything rash, we'll see what we can do.

I hope you have a TWRP backup of the EFS (IMEI) in a safe place or once you get the phone working you'll have to use QPST or some such to manually type in your IMEI.
[Verizon LG G3] inexplicability:
I tried flashing that kdz already, as well as the 47a. Both get up to that 4% like I had problems with before. Now the phone doesn't seem to want to boot into dl mode : ^) I can get into the system recovery but any of the options just take me to the LG boot screen.

And nope, no backups. I got this phone 4 days ago as a refurb to last me until the (supposedly) htc nexus phones in the fall. Never really got anywhere so didn't think to back anything up, especially not the imei. Never had a device be this finicky in my years rooting android devices.

Thanks for all your help man, but I may just have to chalk this one up as sunken costs and go back to my m7
[Verizon LG G3] thebigindian:
Go with what roirraW "edor" ehT tells you first and foremost. What I'm posting is another option at last resort. If you dont have a backup of your imei, you will need an IMEI editor and use the IMEI that is printed inside your phone or on the box it came with.

I had the same problem. It's nerve racking but can be easily fixed. I'll look for the program I used and post it once I find it. Just so it's said, changing your IMEI is highly illegal. Make sure you restore your original that came with the device and not someone elses.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I know it may seem useless, but take the battery out and leave it out for an hour or more, then try to put it into Download mode again. When you try to put it in Download mode now, what happens exactly? Are you checking in Windows' Device Manager to see if the phone shows up in the Modem and Port sections? Does it ever show up?

Was it a warranty (LG or Verizon) refurb and do you have the option to try to exchange it for another?

Sure - I just wish I could do more.

What [MENTION=5016786]thebigindian[/MENTION] said reminded me - you may have to restore the IMEI before you can flash the TOT (assuming you can get into Download mode or at least QHSUSB_BULK 9008 mode). I have no idea how to go about that, though, as I've never had to - I just know there are threads in these sections on how to do it.
[Verizon LG G3] inexplicability:
I've looked into restoring the imei, and have found that some users had success using a method for the lg g2, but most of these methods require some sort of booting. I am unable to boot to anything but the lg screen. I'll try why Rode says about leaving the battery out and see what happens from there.

I'll get back to you in a bit after the battery has been out for awhile.

I picked this up off of amazon as a refurb device. The first 2 devices I received were defective out of the box (first one had bent pins in usb port, second would bootloop and i didnt know as much about dl/recovery as i do now, it was probably fixable looking back) so that should have kept me away lol. I know I could probably get away with sending it back saying the device is defective or something, but it really is my fault (I believe) and wouldn't exactly feel good about doing that. Then again I don't exactly feel good about having a $120 brick lol.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I was afraid of that (can't put the IMEI back in without booting). I understand what you're saying but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if there was something wrong with the device anyway and that is the cause of why it bricked so easily. I don't trust refurbs. :)

I had a good experience selling on Swappa once but I haven't bought any through there so no idea if the experience would be better. I wouldn't buy any refurbed one. There's a black one on there that says Mint condition for $150. It's funny, some of them say 16 GB - as far as I'm aware there's no 16 GB version of the VS985.
[Verizon LG G3] inexplicability:
Yeah now I don't trust refurbs either haha. It was worth a shot though. But yeah I noticed that about the 16gb device too when I was looking for a device to purchase.

I only picked up the g3 because a friend of mine asked about rooting his g3, wondering if he could get some more life out of it as his was becoming sluggish with all the bloat and whatnot. Figured I need a new phone now anyway and I would be able to get a g3, figure it out, then help him. That worked out great, didn't it? :p

UPDATE:

[MENTION=2560614]roirraW "edor" ehT[/MENTION] just thought I'd give you an update. I plugged in the device to power and it stayed at the charging screen with the loading icon for awhile, then I came back and it was in download mode!! Plugged into my pc and let windows install the drivers (took like 20 min, unusually long time) and was able to flash the 10b tot. IMEI is still 0, but at least there are ways to change that. Thanks again for your advice!

UPDATE 2:

Restored IMEI using this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701861

Confirmed that mobile data / sms / mms are in working order... Going to try flashing cm13 again if that doesn't work I'll go back to stock and debloat as recommended
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Wow. I'm always surprised when things actually turn around so well.

Do that IMEI (EFS) backup in TWRP although it must not have been too tough after all. You're welcome! It's helped me on various phones including this one from time to time.
[Verizon LG G3] inexplicability:
I'll do an imei and nandroid backup once i get everything up and running. Tried using dirty unicorn, but google play services was failing. Tried cm13 but ran into sms issues again. Reluctantly installed stock 47a w/ debloat and it seems to be working ok.

Going to go off of your recommendations and use the xposed modules mentioned in the 47a thread until a more stable aosp based rom is available.
[Verizon LG G3] R-T-B:
You may have actually helped me with my thread/issue, unwittingly.

Your symptoms are similar to what happened when I flashed anything lower than 46A bootloader wise... it would get a black screen (this is different than yours but keep reading), register as a device in download mode without any keypresses, and then refuse to flash the same way with all 0's IMEI.

It never occured to me to pull the battery for an hour. Maybe I should try that?

EDIT: ...And nope, that did not work either. I guess I just have to wait until marshmellow bootloader is exploited somehow...
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayyyyylmao:
I have a XT1096. I love this phone. The Nexus experience and Moto Voice is all great, but man is the Camera app UI horrific. I can see what they were going for. I think they wanted some originality to phone camera UI but it ended up only being more inconvenient to use. Especially when I ask a stranger to take a photo for me, it's a nightmare. Are there any ported cameras or something that will make this UI simpler and more generic?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AB__CD:
If only for photos, Google's latest camera from the Nexus works, but it crashes if you launch video etc.

Otherwise, Camera MX is a fairly good app.

Tried to download the Moto G4 Camera apk, but couldn't get it to install. Maybe someone can work on that?

For me though, the Moto camera as it is has survived simply thanks to its double twist to launch gesture, if not it would've been long replaced.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunatiic:
HTC Camera from the HTC 10 works just fine. You can find the apk here on xda. The only issue I found is that HDR is very inconsistent, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I ended up switiching back due to the fact that I rely on HDR way too often.
[Sony Xperia XA Guides, News, & Discussion] evilRafael:
As most already have noticed or at least heard of, the Xperia XA's battery can be drained quickly, even when not being used. Sony staff has admitted there is a bug with wifi scanning/wifi-assisted geolocation. Because I see many people asking about it here, I'm pasting below the solution by Sony staff on Sony forums, that's what helped me.

As seen here.

I'm using Sony Xperia XA Dual F3116, on firmware 33.2.B.2.35.

Hope this helps.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] DasHHat:
The current price in amazon is £359. In the US it is said to be $400, which even after the crash is £300.

Is the £59 hike normal for the EU or is whoever selling it cashing in on those wanting to pre order?

Do you think it will go up, or down after official release?

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] vampirian:
Even if it was true gpu for P9 is weak and outdated to see a significant difference. Also from my experience on Honor 10 GPU turbo and CPU turbo is a delusion made from the company for few compatible apps/games that accepted to coop with huawei/honor. Whoch means GPU turbo wont work for every game. For an example Pubg it works. Say you pkay angry birds, it doesnt work. It does not boost gpu. No its misleading and a companys trick for more sales. In Terms that your phone gpu capabilities will be boosted. It does keep stable FPS but by prioritizing few system settings. As long it comes to CPU turbo again is the same thing. Unfortunately for huawei and honor they faked the stats from known benchmark apps to show higher values than the devices are. So dont fall in the trap.
