[Verizon LG G3] R-T-B:
Just an update, I got another LG G3 in as a refurb project today. The model number excludes the "K" and the PCB is marked "1" instead of a "2." It's also able to rollback, so I think we can finally confirm that the "K" is a new revision, and if even that is in question, the PCB is a sure fire way to identify the "rollbackability" of a phone.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
K for blocK? ?

Thanks for sharing your findings as they come. Really got to refind the way to know the rollback level via software, for the common user to use.
[Verizon LG G3] R-T-B:
The easiest way at the moment (though I am not sure it is 100% accurate) is to look for a "K" in your model number in the battery compartment. Of course, a software route would be ideal, I know. I'm working on it, but nothing yet. :(
[Verizon LG G3] R-T-B:
Got a (white) phone in today with a "2" marked on the PCB, and no "K." It can downgrade too, but it has never touched marshmellow nor do I intend it too. This muddies the waters even more, and as much as I want to do research on this particular phone, it's a clients so I can't. :(
[Verizon LG G3] b00ster23:
Thanks everyone for the information. All of this lends to the challenges I ran into while using my 4 devices. To those wondering, I have been able to flash/downgrade aboot via bootstacks on all of my VS985 devices regardless of variant. Albeit the TOT method seems to be the most successful for those here on the forum. But I used both methods described here on XDA (TOT and manual downgrade via road warriors method)
[Verizon LG G3] SofaSpud:
No 'w' as in vs985w?
[Verizon LG G3] R-T-B:
yeah, actually you are right, it has a "W" at the end.
[Verizon LG G3] crmcsh01:
I can also confirm that the "k" version has some kind of protection on it. I had a regular vs985 and downgraded from 47a installed twrp ect... A week later, I have a vs985wk on 35B and using the same PC, same files, same usb cable, it will not allow a downgrade. Surprised that Verizon would revise and lock a phone down this old, then again it is Verizon.
[Verizon LG G3] R-T-B:
My belief (somewhat substantiated by field research) can be summarized as follows:

"K" versions obey the known to be blown bootloader "version" qfuse on 47A, preventing a downgrade. They also refuse to flash TOTs from any version. You should be able to still downgrade using dd as shown here but only if you have NEVER touched 46/47A Marshmellow stock firmware. That will blow the bootloader version qfuse and forever lock you out of anything non-marshmellow, including 35B!

Old boards (non K PCB revision "1" boards) do not obey this qfuse and can do whatever the heck they want. "K" models must never flash marshmellow if you want any hope at a downgrade, and even then, the TOT method does not work until you follow the guide above using dd.

This has proven true with me on several phones. There is a small yet notable exception to all this, however. Some models ship with the modified PCB (that obeys blown qfuses and fights downgrades) without the external "K" on the model number. This means the only SUREFIRE way to tell is to look on your PCB for the small "revision" code in parenthesis at the end of the model. It will be in gold circuit-trace style font, and look like this "VS985 PCB v1.0 (2)." The "(2)" means it obeys qfuses, a "(1)" means it is an original model and does not.

I have tested this across a bulkpack of 10 "defective" LG G3's I have sucessfully brought back to life from ebay. It seems a pretty solid foundation for my claims.
[Verizon LG G3] SofaSpud:
Ugh! Downer! Now have a G3 and a G4 neither of which are rootable.

Maybe I'll tear the 985wk down to examine the PCB to confirm the board revision just to be sure. It's a factory refurb unit with a warranty date of June '15, so I'm probably out of luck.

[Verizon LG G3] danbest82:
Wonder if this "k" issue is my problem. I'll have to check my 2 bricked phones. It would make sense why I can't get them unbricked.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
[MENTION=2250889]R-T-B[/MENTION] has another thread in this section with modified files he made to debrick the ones he fooled with.
[Verizon LG G3] danbest82:
Yea....Thanks! I just tried his debrick tools on one of them(the black one) and nothing. I have tried many previous methods from XDA and others before. Boarddiag never detects the phone. The other(white one) is recognized as androidnet usb modem and androidnet usb serial port. I'm afraid to try the wire trick on the white in fear that it will end up like the black one. But one day I'll just do it. Neither are "k" versions either. More research for me.
[Verizon LG G3] R-T-B:
You tried both versions of boarddiag I included? One seems to work better on "K" variants.

If that fails, the wire shorting trick is really the only way to go. I've done it a million times and touched all sorts of wrong places on the phone over time, the phones just reboot if you short something wrong. no reason to fear it.
[Verizon LG G3] danbest82:
Yes. I tried both versions of boarddiag. I'll write you on your other thread so this one doesn't get too off topic since neither phones are "k" varients. Thanks.

Finally after barely tapping my S2 watch near a work top and getting a hairline scratch, realise Spigen do a protector now for the S2. Had one on my Gear 2 which was superb so easy to install and discrete.

This one is the same, clean the screen whack it on let it settle a day or so, then a perfect finish all bubbles gone.

You need to align it right and the added lugs this time to avoid touching to sticky side and also chamfered the edges.

Only minor criticism is swipes are not smooth, maybe with time will improve.

[General Questions and Answers] l.magillicutty:
running alliance rom, there are a LOT of posts with this problem, but i'm having trouble making sense of the solutions. i had been running jedi elite kk 1.1 and philz touch for the last 2.5 years, but a few weeks ago i started getting this factory mode error at startup, turning off wifi (and i think bluetooth). the fixes that i found were to go into efs and change an argument to ON. this is when i first noticed my efs was empty, checked with another file manager and it's still empty, so i flashed alliance rom and the problem persisted, found out philz is dead so i changed to twrp, actually haven't gotten the error yet BUT twrp tells me it can't mount /efs (first saw the the message when i flashed supersu 2.76), so now i'm scared.

I've checked /efs with 2 root file explorers and termux, it appears to be very empty. If i fully wipe my internal and flash a stock rom would that restore the efs or am i just living on borrowed time?

I use Cape Town 945 audio/video/rear camera etc system in my car. Firmware version is1011403920001_SW_20151223 + root + Google Play. This is Android 4.1.1 based unit.

My problem is that WiFi interface turns off always when WiFi source (like my phone with GSM/LTE to WiFi router facility) disappears. It is important for me because Iuse it for example for on-line navigation, traffic jam info and so on.

Is any possibility to keep wifi interface always on? Maybe additional application must be installed from Google Play or any patch?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IcedCube:
Updated SM-T705 to latest CM 12.1 Nightly available (20160529) and "No SIM Card"

I just upgraded my ROM from a older version of Android 5.1 that was like a Feb/March build of CM 12.1. I took the latest that was offered via the CM Updater; and after backing up it applied succesfully. However, even though the SIM card is installed in the tablet, the Baseband seems to be stuck on "Unknown". My device is a SM-T705 - the Exynos variant.

My question is: Does this bug mean they broke the radio support for the klimtlte builds of CM12.1? Or do I need to update the radio firmware? I'm using the lollipop radio that I was using with the previous build and it was working fine, but I wanted to update because well, updates are good right? :eek:

If push comes to shove I might just roll back to my ROM backup and continue using that.
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.faramroze:
It appears, Sprint/Boost activation is required for "LTE based roaming" on the 626s. After unlocking LTE bands, I have so far have been successful in obtaining LTE with Band 5 only that is 850 Mhz. This is similar in the Sprint HTC A9 also. The EARFCN of 626s is locked to 2555 Mhz or all the remaining functional bands are mapped to band 5. Band 5 provides excellent indoor coverage and it's absolutely worth the effort. S-On phones can also be modified for LTE, S-Off and supercid helps make it better. It appears band 2, 3, 5, 13, 17, 25, 26 work after changing these values. Modification of these values do not hinder GSM/CDMA/Evdo modem characteristics. It will not damage the hardware or the IMEI. UMTS 2100 Mhz may never work because the UE mode seems to have a band mask. Replacing the carrier_policy.xml in policyman efs explorer, QPST will further enchance LTE capabilities. This has been extensively tested on JIO, Airtel and Vodafone 4G networks of India.

1. Pref S-off (S-on will work)

2. SPC code

3. QXDM

4. In QXDM NV browser, make NV items 6828, 6829 and 65633 to 131518

5. Change item 1877 to 562950035751815

6. Change item 4548 to 562950035751815

7. Reboot phone, phone will automatically latch to available 4G LTE networks.

**The same values and process is also successful for Sprint HTC A9 and Sprint Samsung Galaxy S5 G900P. A factory reset/ firmware flash does not revert the changes made.

You can flash cdma_record.img from bootloader mode if your phone is S-off. This will work only if values were messed due to band mods or programming methods. Let me know if you require any of the files.

Hi, thanks for your reply but I don't have a messed up band. What I'm trying to do is to be able to use 3G/UMTS and LTE but I can't as I can only use 2g. Checked my bands and found they work only in d US. I flashed UMTS bands but I still cannot use 3G ( I wonder why). The UMTS band in my country is 2100 could your explanation on band masking of 2100 be the reason?. Will try unlocking the LTE bands using your guide to see what happens although I'm not conversant with qxdm as I'm a noob but will try to find my way around
[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.faramroze:
Yes exactly, the RF NV items of UMTS 2100 mhz are active but there is a UE and band mask. It is in the modem firmware. Some properties of the modem cannot be changed via QDART, QPST, QXDM. It is also likely the device does not have specific antennas as required for different bands and frequencies. There is a freq lock at item number 53185. This item is not accessible till now.

[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.faramroze:
Hello, Open efs explorer in QPST, map the com ports, send the SPC. You will see a directory named conf. /policyman/carrier_policy.xml is in there. But wait. This is mainly for carrier protected versions not applicable to international models. Altering this xml file is for Sprint, Verizon, China Unicom, China Telecom CDMA etc. For international M8, only calculate the additional LTE bands in NV calc from playstore. Select your bands and write in 6828, 6829 and 65633.
