EDIT: BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED, WHICH IS CAUSING THE FREEZE

Hey everyone, I have a rooted Asus ZenFone 5 16gb(firmware 3.24.40.87) running on 5.0, bootloader unlocked, with TWRP recovery, and Xposed framework(version 76) installed.

My device freezes randomly, even when I'm just leaving the screen on sometimes. This started happening after I unlocked my bootloader. Now, I know I could just relock it. But I want to flash stuff. So, is there any way to fix this? Can I just flash a ROM and then lock my bootloader? And unlock it to again flash a different ROM?

and you cannot just flash a rom(like RR or AICP) and relock your bootloader.

only stock based roms (roms that can boot with stock kernel) are relockable (like cleanstock or gecko rom)
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kihope12:
you can relock bootloader only on stock rom, if you use stock kerenel(boot.img), no on custom (cm12.1 cm13 aokp), if you are on stock, you should sideload lates ofiicial rom version, it will relock your bootloader itself, or you should try some re-lock tool
[XDA Assist] Junaid Ul Qayyum:
I have a very little knowledge on custom roms so I want to ask you guys that apparently both models are same and maybe also structure and spec wise. The only difference is of variant so is it possible that I install D802/VS980 CM13 on LS980? As CM didn't give Marshmallow to Sprint users and even CM12.1() for LS980 is not being installed on it. I don't know why. It gives an error. But CM12 works fine. So can I install D802/VS980 CM13 on LS980?

I didn't see anything with a search, so maybe this is just an issue on my phone. I bought a XT1225 that was previsouly rooted and has the Brazil soak test on it to M6.0.1. The phone does not appear to be rooted anylonger, at least according to a root checker app. When Trying to set up a credit card for Android Pay, I get an error saying "Google is unable to verify that your device or the software running on it is Android compatible."

Any clue how to get Pay to work?
[Moto Maxx Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChazzMatt:
Try flashing the released version of factory Marshmallow.

Just FYI: if you want Android Pay, you can't have root nor xposed modules. For me, it's not worth it. Easier for me to just take out a debit/credit card. ;)

Might be something to do with my version. The software seems a bit different to the rest. I've noticed that there's no cust partition either. Also for the update I got a message that "the system has been modified and need to download the latest full version". It was done through the emui update app too.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harmtan2:
So like many of you have experienced, I recently suffered from the LG G4 infamous bootloop crash. LG has admitted this is a hardware problem and is fixing affected devices. Also like many of you, I had my boot-loader unlocked & I was rooted, which 'can' void warranty. I am fortunate enough to be on T-Mobile in the US, so my boot-loader is re-lockable.

Anyway, back on point, my G4 crashed and I was never able to get past the loading screen. I tried getting into TWRP to do a backup and it crashed there too, I wasn't even able to get into it at all. After several hours of research where I came across someone who said putting it in the Oven at 400 degrees F (Which I couldn't bring myself to do) I did try putting it in front of a heater to see if that helped (It made it worse), I eventually gave up at about 3 am.

I arose the next morning and thought 'What the Hell' and I tried to turn it on, and to my sheer disbelief, the phone actually loaded the software up (Briefly before crashing again). I pulled the battery and tried a couple of more times, each time it got progressively worse after the phone got warmer and warmer. Then after getting frustrated and being pissed off at myself for not being more diligent at Nandroid Backups I thought maybe it just needs some cooling help.

So I through the damned thing in the Freezer! Left it there for 10 minutes, and then turned it on. IT BOOTED UP! I was able to play with the software for a bit too, and it lasted for about 5 minutes. Put it back in the freezer, let it cool down and I booted into TWRP, ran a Nandroid while it was still cool in the freezer. It was successful and I was pumped! I was extatic at my discovery because it allowed me to backup my data, restore it back to stock Rom, and re-lock the boot-loader so I could warranty it though T-Mobile. I wanted to share the tip with you all and maybe save some lives! ;)

TL;DR If your G4 Crashes, try putting it in the freezer to cool it off. It might get it to boot up long enough to get some stuff backed up.

Disclaimer stuffs - Obviously I don't accept any responsibility should you freeze your phone unusable if you do this. None of the damage is my fault, I'm simply sharing what helped me. Try at your own discretion.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenitec:
The Freezer advice didn't worked for me. Temp was too cold.

However I managed to backup my data with the phone put on the air vents of an A/C set up at 22°C: I was able to boot into the recovery and mount the storage to launch the backup of internal memory on my computer.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptorddd:
i been asking alot of people and no one has answer.. do you still have the phone ..please can you unlock it and relock it. with video? many people say it cant be relock... thats whats keeping me from unlocking..

am on TMO too so. i dont care about data.. i care about unlocking bootloader, if get hit by bootloop then relock it then flash stock firmware and send for repair... would you record that it can acttually be relock . please.. :fingers-crossed:
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Levent2101:
interesting, I havent seen anyone mention phone overheating in any other bootloop threads before.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harmtan2:
I unfortunately don't have the phone, I sent it back to Tmobile. From my understanding, the Tmobile version is the only one that is relockable. However, I will be doing the same thing with my wife's G4. I'll see what I can do about a video for you.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harmtan2:
Nice! At least you got it to boot up long enough. Idk maybe my experience was unique.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harmtan2:
I never saw anything about it either, but it worked! I'll consider it an act of God or something.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptorddd:
you think it can be relock in bootloop state?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harmtan2:
If you can get it to boot up yes... When I put mine in the freezer I was able to get it booted up just long enough to do what I needed to with it. That's why I posted this in the first place. Cooling the phone off helped unboatloop it temporarily. That's when I re-locked the bootloader.

It's not a guarantee though, I was just sharing what worked for me.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptorddd:
really it must boot up to get it relock.????? then am not sure i want to unlock just yet... i saw user ENZO made a kernel that will disable the 2 big core but for h815... i tought it didnt have to boot up to os. :confused:
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenitec:
Cooling down the phone (with the freezer or A/C methods) really helps to boot in the recovery or normally. If the re-lock method is really working and is fast to apply, i presume that yes, you may be able to relock the bootloader.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dvalin21:
Hello,

I'm a newbie dev, trying my hands on deving a tablet called the Galaz A1. Its a Tegra 4 tablet. Anyway, I'm down to making a custom recovery but the only thing that stops me is that I keep getting an error saying the recovery is too big and it deletes the file. Here is what my BoardConfig shows

Hello, I seem to be having the same issue.

BOARD_BOOTIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x00380000

BOARD_RECOVERYIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x00480000

BOARD_SYSTEMIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x08c60000

BOARD_USERDATAIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x105c0000

BOARD_FLASH_BLOCK_SIZE := 131072

When i pull the files via dd both recovery and boot are 8 to 8.4 mb. I need to raise the size level for the B_RECOVERYIMG_PARTITION_SIZE to 9. I believe this would completely clear up my issue. However, I'm absolutely no good with hex. And also, if I increase the size of the recovery partition should I be increasing the size of the FLASH_BLOCK_SiZE as well? Thanks. for any help or feedback.

[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] KAsp3rd:
Has anyone else noticed heavy standby drain from Android System?

I spent a couple of hours digging through to find the culprit and it looks like it's actually Qualcomm's IZat location services. Even though you can disable it in the location settings it is still set to scan and report back to Qualcomm's servers via a couple of config files in /etc.

Instead of changing the config files and forgetting which ones I changed I simply disabled the service in location settings then disabled the package that IZat uses and rebooted.

I am already seeing an decrease in battery usage and I have been able to still use GPS.

You can either freeze the app with Titanium Backup or whatever you choose. I did it through adb which I believe is even possible to do without root.

com.qualcomm.location

adb shell pm disable com.qualcomm.location

I hope this helps someone else out that was having the same issue. I did not get a screen shoot of my battery usage before disabling the service but I have included one with it disabled.

I was losing 15% overnight with a kernel wakelock for the entire night that showed up as LocationManagerServiceEx through GSam
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] autoprime:
for users with no root:

adb shell pm hide com.qualcomm.location

I'm going to poke around and try and find the files in /etc you mentioned.. would rather tackle the actual problem in the config files than disable izat entirely. good find though. I'm currently trying to find the source of my Google Play services drain (may be related to pushbullet). you mentioned that it was showing up in your Android system drain so not sure if it'll help with my specific issue but if it does I'll report back.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] KAsp3rd:
I think they were lowi.conf and xtwifi.conf there might have been more but I can't remember at this time.

As for finding what is draining I learned recently (and quickly) how helpful dumpsys is.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] autoprime:
ahh thank you. I got sidetracked when trying to pinpoint my drain and never went through all the files. I will check out those 2 files as well as grep around through the rest.

and thanks for the dumpsys tip... never actually used it. I went the easy route and reinstalled BetterBatteryStats. Within 20 minutes a partial waklock stood out... "CmaSystemUpdateService"

A quick google lead me to this reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus/comments/4jmw74/cmasystemupdateservice_wakelock/

Made sense... I had blocked OTA updates using the same method Nexus devices use.. as the tmo g5 gets its updates the same way.. instead of using LG's own updater like most of the other variants. As soon as re-enabled "SystemUpdateService" in Google Play Services the wakelock stopped and battery was fine. I'm not sure what needs to be done to stop the wakelock while still blocking OTA updates... more research must be done.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] jeffsga88:
I had the same drain after disabling updated on my tmo g5. I used app MyAndroidTools to fix it. After you disable system updates open the app and grant root. Open the menu and click on service, broadcast receiver and activity options. In each on goto system then find Google play services and disable anything that says system update then go back and do the same for Google play services framework. After disabling for all three categories restart and your wavelock will be gone. Also you can disable the OTA using this method as well. Seems like when using adb it only disables some of the services but not all which is why it keeps searching for updates. Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] waylo:
I too have this irritating wakelock which prevents the phone from reaching deep sleep (it shows up as LocationManagerServiceEx in betterbatterystats).

When I freeze the com.qualcomm.location app however, GPS actually DOES NOT work the way it is supposed to. Interestingly, it results in the GPS behaving just like the 10A GPS bug--GPS is achieved, but then cuts in and out all the time, making nav near useless. The 10D update fixed this. So maybe the implementation was buggy in the 10a firmware.

Still would be nice to have a more permanent fix for this wakelock issue. I'm not getting the cmasystemupdateservice issue.

Hi [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION],

For some reason, out of the blue, I received the Nougat update notification today. I plan on staying on MM until I retire the device.

I had previously knocked out the OTA update receivers using 3c system tuner, just disabling the receiver elements that matched the 3 ones you listed in your all in one thread.

When I looked at the running receivers, one of them that was still on for some reason (update.systemupdateserviceactivereceiver). I can toggle it off, but it doesn't stick with a reboot. Under services, update.systemupdateservice was still active.

I decided to go the ADB route. I stopped the services using your ADB commands. This fixed the OTA. But then just as you mentioned, the CmaSystemUpdateService wakelock came in.

Did your research come up with any new ways to stop the OTA notification?
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] waylo:
Just saw this post just now. Do you have a more detailed list of what you disabled?
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] jeffsga88:
Using the app My Android Tools is the easiest way I found. Then do like I said before and go into each category and click on Google play services and search for systemupdate, disable anything the comes up. Then go into Google services framework and search for same thing and disable anything that comes up. I've included some screenshots, hopefully that helps. Maybe when I have more time I'll write each thing down and post list but don't have time right now.

I'm pretty sure the oneplus3 uses Ext4. There is a mod for the phone that explicitly disables ext4 journaling. Every android phone I have ever used has had Ext4 as the default file system. Even if it was Ufs, the point of this thread is to discuss the cost/benefit of switching to F2FS.
