Help! My Oppo A11W doesn't show the screen anymore, when I turn it on, it just vibrates long at first, and then vibrates for a short time every 5 seconds, it only stops when remove the battery. I can't seem to find the Stock Rom for use with Flash tool for the phone, it doesn't seem to be around the internet.

I need the Flash file to be used with SP Flash Tools, can someone please provide me the link for download? Thank you and Godbless!

Also, when I plug it in a computer, it only show the "Oppo Preloader" in the Device Manager window.

[LG Optimus G Pro] Zoditu:
Hi, I'm trying to find a way to try to recover an LG D680 smartphone. I have a weird problem with it. It used to get stuck on LG's Logo boot. I used Download Mode and LG Mobile Tool to fix it and update it. Everything was ok but 1 month later this happened again, but this time it cannot get fixed.

I tried to reinstall software through KDZ and flash tools (2014) in Normal and CSE mode. I tried Iusacell (AT&T) images (V10A_, V10B_, V20A_ and V20B_) wich are Jelly and Kitkat versions of images. Last I tried to reinstall with V20A_ Factory Free image and still problem, but now there's another problem. It seem that there are not really hardware issues since device is correctly recognized in Windows System, can enter Download Mode, LG Flash Tool can still manipulate hardware (Install, reboot and finish install). The new problem is that even after reinstalling any of the images it keep looped and stuck at the "Android Hard Reset" icon, the one of the Android with the red triangle.

I tried using fastboot and adb but devide is not recognized by fastboot device even after installing drivers.

Is there another way to completely wipe ROM and install System and Boot clean? I already have system.img and boot.img files, but can't find a way to do this nor what I do works.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ShadySquirrel:
If it is looping on LG's boot animation, then you should boot into stock recovery and do a factory reset from there - saved me from sending my E988 to service last time I flashed stock. Try one of these recovery combos: Vol Up + Power, Vol Up + Vol Down + Power, Vol Up + Home + Power, one of those should work. My E988 uses Vol Up+ Power - have to press both while device is powered off, and keep them pressed until capacitive buttons flash twice. Not sure how will that work on D680 though (is that a G Pro Lite?)
[LG Optimus G Pro] Zoditu:
Yep! It's an G Pro Lite. I'm still trying some of th combinations. What is stock recovery? Should it show more options than just hard reset?
[LG Optimus G Pro] ShadySquirrel:
If it's anypart similar to ones found on E98x, it will have only hard reset, update install and reboot options. I really don't know much about Lite series, probably there is more info about recovery in their subforum here.

How can I return a GT I9500 to stock/original rom?

Where can I get the rom? And to install its the same way as a custom one?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
The ROM can be downloaded from sammobile.com. Download speeds are slow though.

And to install it you will need a program called Odin.

Hello everybody,

I have a question, maybe somebody can help me here?

I am using an Artemis and consider to buy a TYTN2. Is it worth to change? I know, this is a strange question but maybe somebody had a Artemis before and is now using a TYTN2.

I guess iGO will work on the TYTN2 as well, is somebody using this SW?

Thanx in advance,

Ralf

If you look at GPS, yes, unnlike the P3600 Trinity, you are ok with the Tytn II GPS: it has a working quick GPS program. According to GPSPassion.com, the GPS quality is significantly improved, equivalent to the SirfIII (which you have in Artemis). The unit is slightly fatter and heavier though. You also have no FM radio. I like the one-hand navigation possible through the jog wheel on the side and the ok button on the side, which opens the windows menu when pressed. The tilt is nice when you keep the unit on your office linked to the PC, because it's not lying flat on the desk, you can see on it very well. Also when you use it as an alarm clock near your bed. Last but not least: WM6 without overclocking...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] UnicornKaz:
funny that you visit a Kaiser/TyTN II forum and ask that question :D

Has anyone tried to use the Verizon variant on a GSM network yet? We've gotten lucky in the past with other Verizon prepaid LTE phones working.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] agentfusion:
I don't think the XT1609 is GSM capable. It has no 3G UMTS bands enabled, though it does have the full range of GSM 2G/EDGE bands enabled.

So, pretty much unless you're in a VoLTE area, you might be out of luck for voice calls if it is unlocked. I'm not even sure if this phone does VoLTE anyway though.

[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] ryanl2299:
It would probably be a waste of time and $. Someone already bought one in the other Verizon moto g4 play thread and returned it because it looked like a no go. And without unlocking the bootloader, how would you flash a custom or alternate ROM to use the bands needed for GSM (as mentioned above). That's if it's a firmware thing and not a hardware limitation. If we want an unlocked Moto G4 play, the only option looks like we're shelling out $100 to Amazon for the one with ads or $150 without ads.

[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] ryanl2299:
What link do you need, the link to the product page? Did you even research this phone one little bit before posting or was it a case of post now, think later? What network are you even looking to use this phone on? I'll tell you right now that several of the bands used for other networks are completely missing for this phone (can see this clear as day on any product or spec listing for this phone). Then there's the matter of this phone being carrier locked (it's not as simple as popping in a different sim anymore - Verizon changed their policy this year). People need to stop comparing this to the Moto e from last year because this clearly isn't. What else do you need to know?
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] agentfusion:
EDIT: NEVER MIND. I just realized you were saying they'd need to flash a rom to enable the GSM 2G bands the phone hardware IS capable of. I thought you were trying to say you could magically enable 3g/UMTS bands that it's NOT capable of with a rom lol. Disregard the parts below about enabling bands the hardware isn't capable of, that's my misunderstanding!!

Original post:

I don't know what you're smoking bro. It most certainly IS a hardware limitation. You can't just enable bands that the antenna isn't capable of. SOME devices, very rarely, have antennae capable of more bands than are enabled in the radio firmware(NOT the Rom) but those are very few and far between.

Simply put, you can't make a 1609 into a 1607 just by flashing a new radio. If you could, then hell... I'd make every one of my old phones work with all carriers by turning on the bands they don't already have. Sadly, this is not possible.

As I said earlier in the thread, it's capable of EDGE (2g), and some of the GSM LTE bands that CDMA carriers use for data, BUT you wouldn't be able to call/text over LTE and it would fall back to EDGE for voice and sms (so no simultaneous voice and data) if you got a carrier unlock code from Verizon, but most GSM carriers are phasing out EDGE for postpaid accounts so if it's not a prepaid SIM it likely wouldn't register to the network at all for voice calling.

tl;dr unlocking the XT1609 for use on GSM carriers would be a very painful and unpleasant experience on prepaid where calls would go to voicemail when you're using data, and the SIM wouldn't register at all on a contract/postpaid account.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] mrw187:
what about international use? is it possibly just locked in usa unlocked international for roaming?
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] ryanl2299:
I'm afraid that you're misunderstanding the meaning of "locked" in this scenario. It's probably carrier locked to Verizon prepaid no matter where you take it, but that can be remedied very easily (it was brought to my attention last night in a different forum that there are now unlock codes for these on eBay for around $2.50, so buying an unlock code takes care of that problem). But the real issue is the bands that this phone is capable of using and what is available where you're going and what network you'll be using. I believe the bands Verizon uses are more prevalent over seas, but I'm sure you can find this out with a quick web search.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] mrw187:
I see. Need to find out what 3g bands get unlocked if any because according to gsmarena the 4g bands on this model are not applicable in my country and rolling 2g only is not worth it.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] ryanl2299:
Part of me says that the disabled bands is a firmware thing rather than a hardware thing since it's much cheaper for moto to make "one phone" with different programming, but it's probably just wishful thinking on my part. Either way, I'm sure Verizon locked these phones down so we'll because of the whole moto e thing last year (hordes of zombies flocked to bestbuy to buy $10 Verizon branded phones only to use them on other networks). All it took was a couple of commands in abd from what I remember (there was an ultra long thread about it at the time). Probably pissed off Verizon and I hope they lost their shirts. I'm sure that these types of phones are subsidized in some way since the unbranded ones are almost always double or more in price (especially with verizon- they usually have cheaper phones but more expensive service - great way to hook you).

And I know exactly what you're talking about with using this in stock form on gsm carriers. If you're in need of a laugh, go check out the thread for Verizon moto g4 play over on slickdeals. There was one poster who got this phone unlocked (via eBay) and was going to try to use this for VOIP with Google voice or something (data only I suppose) since he claimed to have excellent LTE in his region. I believe that he's in for an underwhelming experience and constant missed/dropped calls. I guess it might work if you stand in one spot all day. To each his own. Some people would do just about anything to save a few bucks. Here's a link and their username was TheLao :http://slickdeals.net/f/9195543-16g...ipping-free-store-pickup-best-buy-ebay?page=7

Just got off live chat with motorola with 2 different csrs neither knew anything outside of public info on what bands the xt1609 has or it truely has no 3g gsm bands.

may have to wait until someone who physically has this and can confirm what bands it has once unlocked? i tried searching for an app on store that can tell you available bands on the device but gave up after about 4-5 apps.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] agentfusion:
I'm sure in some phones it is probably just a firmware thing. I remember some of the early Kindle fire models that were on the low end were really underclocked high end models with a smaller NAND. If you rooted them and flashed a new kernel, you could enable Bluetooth and set the clock speed up to match the higher end model and all you'd be missing is some storage. In the case of the Moto g4 play, though, it's probably cheaper to just leave out the physical antenna hardware for non VZW bands than disabling them via firmware. That's likely just a matter of dropping a step from the assembly process, so it wouldn't cost them any extra... Might even save a few pennies per run. But I'd imagine on high end flagship devices where it's a different model for every carrier, it's just a firmware thing. That's probably the REAL reason some phones have locked bootloaders. Like the LG G4, the only one with bootloader unlock is the international version with all bands enabled. I bet if I COULD unlock the bootloader on my sprint LG G4, I could turn it into a GSM phone.

And LOLOLOL about that link. Dude is going to hate life. When my LG G4 was in for repair and the Moto G4 Play hadn't shipped yet, I was using a LG G Pad F7 LTE tablet with Google voice, using hangouts and hangouts dialer for sms and voice. Missed calls SO many times because it would take too long to start ringing on my end, and I'm in one of the major US markets so LTE coverage is literally everywhere.

Welp, TIFU. I bought two of the Moto g4 play at walmart... got home and found out that Verizon locks 4g phones again. Paid for an unlock, found the phone doesn't allow connecting to GSM networks, but that is because even with a GSM sim in the phone it still only connects to Verizon. With my t-mobile sim in the phone, I make a call and get the "your call is being transfered to a representative who will take your credit card info to complete this call". Leave it to verizon to only allow the phone to connect to their network even after you unlock it...

Xt1609 doesn't have connection of gsm or 2g

Hi! I bought a "Moto 4G play" of Veirzon USA (XT1609). Unfortunately, My network operator in Mexico (Telcel) hasn't compatible with the VoLTE.

The cellphone doesn't have connection of GSM or 2G only LTE 4G. I did unlocked it and use everything, photo, video, WhatsApp. The cellphone recognize my SIM Card and network carrier, but I can't make, or receive, calls.

:(
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] Dishe:
Well, that's what the Moto E 2nd gen did out of the box as well, they removed the setting to swap CDMA/GSM in the menu, but the folks over in that part of the forum figured out that using the app "Network" from the play store, and a sequence of turning on/off airplane mode, they were able to switch it from CDMA to GSM and make it stick. Otherwise, it would keep trying to connect to Verizon just like you describe.

So it doesn't mean anything that you didn't get it to work immediately after unlocking. You probably have to force it off CDMA in a similar fashion. Bigger issue is whether or not the phone will be able to actually access the appropriate bands you'd need, whether because the hardware doesn't support it or because it is disabled in firmware. We don't really know for sure yet. But if you've come this far and have a penchant for torture but don't want to give up until you know for certain, give it a try!
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] Shrraga:
Yup, did try the network app, changes are immediately reverted, and even in GSM only mode the phone still connects to Verizon. There was a difference between the phones-- without the sim card or with a different company's sim card the moto e didn't try to connect to verizon towers. The moto g4 connects to verizon no matter what-- even unlocked with an ATT sim.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] mrw187:
I'm curious to know the results overseas - if anyone not in america has got a verizon g4 play, got it unlocked and have it working on a gsm network in their country ie a place with no verizon towers for it to even attempt connecting...

and if they've tested it for 3g connectivity would be interesting to know too since I can't find any website that lists its 3g band capability (yes I know it may have none at all).

I am not game to import one and test it myself since none of the 4g bands are applicable in my country I don't want to risk having a 2g only phone because it has no 3g bands at all.

From the looks of it.... After inserting a non verizon sim if it's asking for an unlock code then it can be purchased from eBay... The code may unlock only gsm bands for tmo and att..... I don't think calls will work though unless device gets activated by verizon itself....
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] ClarkCJ975:
It maybe just my hunch but have you tried connecting it to the pc with qpst or cdma tool? There is a sim settings to use "ruim only". Maybe it's reverting back because it is not using gsm sim in the slot... instead using the built in nv memory. Maybe the phone is set to use nv only at the moment...

Can you enable it's diag port for connecting it to the pc....? Use recovery and boot the handset in BP tools mode.. i guess then install diag drivers if it's the same as verizon moto e2.

Any luck converting this phone to full gsm I really like to buy this phone
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] Dishe:
Actually, that was exactly what the Moto E did, and why the whole workaround became a thing.

At first, the original ROM was able to use the network app to switch it, but then 5.1 rolled out and it would instantly revert back to CDMA no matter what you did. Exactly like you describe above, it was as if it would force the CDMA connection no matter what. Some people flashed the older 5.0 radio, but it turns out you can get around the software forcing CDMA even on the current version.

The first step was to enter some ADB commands:

pm clear com.android.providers.telephony

settings put global preferred_network_mode 9

settings put global preferred_network_mode1 9

settings put global preferred_network_mode2 9

Then there was a whole dance to do with the Network app (not as simple as "open it, switch network setting to GSM").

open settings, carrier

turn on airplane mode

open network app (leave carrier settings open because you can't reach it in airplane mode), change to LTE/GSM

Hit recents, go back to carrier settings

check to see that CDMA is not checked (still no option shown for GSM)

go back to network app, hit Radio On

Go back to carrier settings

Now you'll see the option for 3G or 4G (oddly enough, CDMA would disappear, as if it can only handle being GSM or CDMA but never offer both)

Click 4G, Turn off airplane mode.

The order of steps above are from memory, so I might have some details off. Its a shame, the thread for the Moto E here doesn't have correct information on the first post, so you have to dig into it to find the real info. Personally, I had to do the network app dance 3-4 times before it stuck and would work. And anytime you try to switch SIM cards, it reverts back to Verizon CDMA and you have to do the dance over again (thankfully you don't need to do the ADB commands again, those stick. Just the airplane mode, flip back and forth with network app, etc).

At the end of the day, I'm not saying its possible. There's a good chance Verizon doesn't even have the GSM bands active in firmware (I recall Band 12 on the Moto E was available on the 5.0 ROM, then for some reason, perhaps to keep T-mo users from hacking it over, the 5.1 update that tried to lock it into CDMA also removed B12).

But I *AM* saying that I don't see anyone who has thoroughly tried enough (in my humble opinion) to conclude that it DOESN'T either.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] Shrraga:
In the moto e, Band 12 was disabled because T-mobile was the only company with a network that supported it, and they were using it for VoLTE but the moto e didn't support b12 VoLTE. If your tower supported it your phone would try doing a normal call on the b12 and the call would fail.
