[Verizon LG G3] R-T-B:
This is a summary of what I know about the new phone variant that can't be downgraded. It's a summary from another thread.

Phones with a model "K" 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.

I attatched some photos to help with identification:

EDIT: Some revision 2 boards without the "K" can actually downgrade. I'm just learning this, but obviously you flash at your own risk if you have a "(2)" or a "K" as there is no guarantee!
[Verizon LG G3] crmcsh01:
You are exactly right on with this. I was unable to downgrade my 35B to 10B with model vs985wk. I followed the dd method and it went through pretty smooth. The only issue I ran into was the final step in TWRP after I wiped and flashed a rom, it would just bootloop so I downloaded a different ROM and wiped and flashed that one, still would bootloop on LG screen. So I booted to TWRP again and manually flashed the 35b bootstack zip and then the ROM/Gapps and it booted right up and worked fine.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
It's normal that you have to flash the whole Bootstack from TWRP when you flash any ROM. The manual stuff is only flashing part of the Bootstack. If I'm misunderstanding, ignore me. ?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
[MENTION=2250889]R-T-B[/MENTION] I notice on LG's open source code site the following model # listings of the VS985, although I'm sure it's not complete. Just a piece of nearly useless knowledge. :)

Interesting, I've encountered most of these. I highlighted what I know these to be above in an edit. The only one of those I have not seen in practice is the LGVS985RDU. I wonder what that is? I'm guessing a v2 red but unsure.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mario119:
Hey all,

As of about a month ago, my beloved Nexus 5 has been getting extremely hot to the touch. As a result of that, the device is uncomfortable to handle and is dying quite quickly. As this was a factory refurbished I got from eBay, I had no warranty on it. I read a thread on here awhile ago that Thermal Paste could help with heat on the CPU, so I decided to try that as I didn't have a warranty to void. That did help with the temperature on the CPU, but because Thermal Paste is a conductor, all the heat dissipated into the screen, essentially making the screen a mini stove. I then heard that Thermal Pads might work better, so I ordered some off of Amazon and applied them to my CPU. This helped with idle temperatures, but as soon as I touched the screen they raised back up again. I've tried everything, CyanogenMod 12.1, CyanogenMod 13, CAF ROMs, and I even flashed it back to stock. Nothing works.

Now for the odd thing: Idle Temperatures are normal, at around 38°C. Load Temperatures are fine, it reaches around 65°C under AnTuTu's Stress Test. However, under normal use such as browsing Chrome or watching YouTube, the Temperature IMMEDIATELY goes from Idle up to about 58 °C, and stays there. The phone loses battery rapidly, and it burns my hand using it. I've checked for CPU hogging apps, there were none. I made sure I was on the correct CPU Governor, and I was. Even on the Conservative Governor the Temperature was still going up to 58° C.

I have no idea what is going on. I might have an idea, but I don't know if it's even how the phone would work. My battery has been acting up lately, even before the phone started heating up. Some of the times when I've taken the phone apart, I noticed that the Battery's Ribbon Cable sparked a bit. With this and the fact the the battery has been acting up, it leads me to believe the the battery might be unstable. Could the battery be delivering too much power/voltage to the CPU, causing it to heat up? Just a wild guess :P

Help would be extremely appreciated

[T-Mobile LG G3] vivid_vibe:
I have an LG G3 D851 and I recently dropped and cracked my screen and damaged the touch panel. The touch response is non-existent. I don't plan to repair it but I need to extract the contents of the built-in storage. I already removed my micro sd card and of course the contents are safe. Here's my problem: I don't have USB debugging enabled, as I haven't needed it. The USB connection when hooked to my computer is set to charge and not mtp or ptp. I can't change this therefore my computer doesn't recognize the phone as a mass storage device. I have tried a browser add-on called Vysor to no avail. I have downloaded the necessary ADB drivers for my PC, I have downloaded LG's drivers, I have even installed Android Studio and the SDK. I read that a USB OTG adapter would solve my issue but I don't really want to go that route unless I absolutely have to. What I am asking is if any of you kind people know of a possible alternative solution. Thank you in advance.

Update: I tried an OTG adapter and it did nothing.

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderskain:
I'm currently using stock MM rom and I'm not really pleased with the battery life so far. I can't last a day with a full charge and the battery drains somewhat fast. Call it placebo but I really think there's something not right. I tried doing a factory reset before but the results are still the same. Now my question is, would rooting and flashing a custom rom perhaps help alleviate the battery life situation by a bit. Maybe say some kernel has better battery performance or so? I don't want to root my phone just for the sake of testing it out. I hope someone could provide some real experiences with the performances of custom roms so far. Thanks! :)

How do you change the lock screen wallpaper. It has the option but it doesn't even work....

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] sonypsx:
Just tried ...

Indeed there is a small glitch ...

i tried to change the Lockscreen background first to "Glaze" but i cancelled and take a pciture from my gallery.

And it worked - but for curiosity the "glaze" picture have now a checkmark on it and let me believe this is the one i have choosen.

But watching the lockscreen itself prove that it is my picture that is an the lockscreen

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] junior_mafioso:
Can you elaborate
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] junior_mafioso:
Solution kind of... Go to your lockscreen and swipe up from the bottom. There should be three options. Choose lock screen settings. Click on "wallpaper for today." Then click the plus sign in the bottom right hand corner. This will allow you to add a picture from your gallery. Once you have one saved in that list with random ones, go back to your lock screen. Swipe right until you find the picture you just saved. Then swipe up from the bottom and choose lock this wallpaper. It only lets you choose a max of 1 month but this will work. Pain in the a** but works.

I tried that at first and it didn't work, but I rebooted my Axon 7 and tried again and then it DID work. Hope that voodoo continues to work, but thought I'd pass it along here to see if it helps anyone else as well.

I got a big problem right now cause my samsung got stock on boot logo and cant boot the recovery mode neither download mode. It happens after I used my bulge battery i got two batteries and i use it simultaneously but other battery run dry so i use this bulge one cause it still works but when its goes low my screen got flicker and got hang, but this time after i restart my phone it stuck. I cant even try to hard reset cause its volume buttons are broken and cant perform recovery. So its like slightly hard brick and what should i do? Can i still boot in download mode in other way without using volume keys? I tried to bring this to technician but they cant fix the vol button cause they dont have any stock.

Hey,

I'm working on a 6P Marshmallow ROM and wanted to know if there is a way you can push out a software update to every device running the ROM?

Example:

I'm planning on pushing an update for Nougat to current Marshmallow devices, if possible. I'm new to Android development and was just curious.. would I need to have a dedicated server for this?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaufikauf:
I know some Developers use something like Pushbullet.

But a build-in notification and update function could be also possible if you implement it in your rom, but i never tried it so i cant say anything about it.

One way could be, watching the source code of other Roms which has implemented this feature, but then you must check if this is legal and the original developer is okay with that.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apizzagalli:
Sadly i had to come to the painful conclusion that my problem relies at this point on the data detection of the phone itself.

I have read tons of tutorials pointing to adb or fastboot upgrades and different stuff and methods to update. I'm stuck in 2.20.40.139 and cannot find an update within the OS. I will enumerate now the things i see in order to clarify this situation.

_USB debugging on or off makes no difference.

_MTP or the other mode returns nothing. No detection on device manger in windows.

_Phone always charges when plugged to USB ports.

_Tried 4 cables and 3 pc's all of them tested with other phones and tablets.

_On fastboot mode nothing happens and device is nowhere to be found.

_ADB is the same. adb devices shows nothing for this.

_Recovery returns an error as if it tries to update something that isn't there MOFD_SUPDATE.zip

_after that error i get into recovery pressing power+vol up for a few seconds.

_did a factory reset on the phone and wipes in recovery.

_copied file in root of the phone. Detected the update. failed when trying to apply.

_bootloader in fastboot shows unknown. serial is 0123456789ABCDEF or something like that (serial was ok before i used the bootloader unlocker from ASUS website)

i can't think anything else for this right now... it's really driving me crazy since android works without an issue. Phone is not rooted or even has been tried to root.

If someone knows or can think anything regarding this please help me out. There's nothing i like more to share thoughts and ideas to have this updated.

Thanks in advance,

Instead it constantly launches the samsung screen repair tool and flashes all kinds of colors and shapes. I went into the retail mode app and then the store settings and it asks for a password which I put in 5444 but it says the password is invalid.

After using the phone for a while without a reboot (about a few hours or so) the 'Recent Apps' page will not show any of the apps I have had open recently and even the ones I have pinned.
