[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Living_Fire:
Hi at all,

my friends Note 4 N910f (only a few months old) had some problems with the cellular reception and then suddenly it had no reception at all. It was always showing that there was no signal at all. So as you do, he took it back to his provider (VF) and they send it to their "repair shop".

But the results of the diagnosis weren't good at all. They say that water (or some fluid) damaged the motherboard so they won't repair his phone.

I attached the photo of the "technician".

But what I don't understand is that the phone was never in contact with water and always protected by a case. How can it corrode?

...And Yes the motherboard is corroded but everything else works fine: wifi, bluetooth, sim recognition etc...

So to all you experts out there, is this "water damage" or corrosion really the cause of the problem? Or better said do you think it was the cause? :confused:

Thanks for the help :good:
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkGuyver:
That does look like some form of corrosion, whether or not it was caused by moisture it's hard to tell from a picture. Did the technician try cleaning the corrosion of the surface as it could just be surface corrosion?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Living_Fire:
The technician didn't try sh*t. If it's true what they told me, he took the phone back together right after he saw that there was some sort of corrosion. Because if there is a water damage VF doesn't have to pay the repair.

Now we let it check again at a Samsung "Repair Station"....because even the "water damage indicator stickers" seem to be ok.

So weird...
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mer2329:
Edit: this issue is solved, I took it to a repair shop and had them deal with it.

I don't know what they did.

hello i think i bricked my LG G4 H811 20i, and im asking for advice on what to do

im going to break this down into a few parts

1) the device and its setup

2) what caused the inital problem, and what changed

3) what i did, after.

4) its current state

5) my questions

part 1: the device and its setup

the device is a tmobile LG G4 H811 with the 20i bootloader

i know im on 20i because as soon as i got the phone (or return to stock) i turned off the cell data and wifi. (plus lg up reports my device as a h81120i)

my bootloader is unlocked.

i was running official resurection remix with the super su binary replaced with magisk and llama sweet kernel

part 2: what i belive caused the inital problem and what changed

yesterday i decided to try the CTT mod

after installing (i already had a previous backup on hand) it went through the initialing apps and got stuck on starting android

i booted back into recovery and cleared dalvik and cache and rebooted, it initialized the apps but hung at starting android.

part 3: what i did, after.

so i resorted to a backup i had previously made, which completed initial boot initialized the apps and got stuck at the starting android again. the backup had the same rom as i was running, just older data.

so i pull the battery, booted into recovery and did a clean flash of the rom, i formatted system, data, cache, dalvik/art before flashing. i keep the rom on my phone for those just in case times.

it did the same again.

so now i tried to restore with a kdz using LG up

it stopped at 9% with error 0x2000 invalid command response

i did not try lg flash tool

i also tried restoring the 20i complete zip from autoprime in here http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-g4/development/stock-h811-20i-images-kdz-flashable-t3308227

after i install it and tap reboot twrp tells me no os installed, i ignored it, because fastboot is still working, and it booted fine.

next i flashed resurrection remix using normal methods and left it on all night, in the morning it was still starting android, a good 7 hours later.

part 4: its current state

its back on stock, however im going to leave the device off until i get this figured out.

if i try and flash resurection remix or a backup it hangs after initalizing apps.

i can still boot into recovery, fastboot, and download modes, just fine.

but i cant flash the kdz using LG up.

part 5: my questions

im wondering a few things.

a) if a tot restore would help me, however i cant find a h811 20i tot.

b) what does it lgup's error 0x2000 invalid command response mean.

c) is there anything else i can do to fix my phone.

if you need any further info from me please let me know and i will post it ASAP

Edit: this issue is solved, I took it to a repair shop and had them deal with it.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] M4rin3r:
Ok so this is the rundown. Ran Fix Contexts in TWRP recovery no longer could get phone to connect to pc to read SD card period. Ran several apps that didn't fix SD card permissions. wiped phone completely including DATA, SYSTEM, and SDCARD. had a custom rom on the phone didnt think it would wipe its wiped.

Im in TWRP no adb sideload, no fastboot from bootloader. something with file permissions is preventing phone from even being seen by PC. and no its not USB issues i tried to run RUU. it cant even see my phone. No one can even provide a suggestion i can still do terminal from TWRP but it has something to do with me using the fix contexts that screwed it up.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] M4rin3r:
really no one has a suggestion? i have access to TWRP recovery and can run terminal commands i just need something to fix what ever fix contexts did so i can get access to usb functionality. please? if looked all over google and there is no one with this issue. every topic points to adb sideload and fastboot working but usb doesnt work in my case due to use of fix contexts.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] M4rin3r:
i solved it mysself no thanks to a forum that supposed to help and yet im a noob at this ****.

for those of you who have done as i did and bricked the phone.

go into twrp recovery and go to terminal

busybox
echo "persist.service.adb.enable=1" >> default.prop
echo "persist.service.debuggable=1" >> default.prop
echo "persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb" >> default.prop

Reboot phone to see if it worked. then try to see if you can use adb on pc to sideload a rom.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] coal686:
Well, I could have come in here and pretended I've seen this before, but honestly, I've never run Fix Contexts in TWRP (in fact, I've never heard of it). You've got to remember that most of us know what we know either through our own bad experiences or by following how others fixed their bad experiences. So, I appreciate that you marked it solved and put how you solved it in this thread. Next time someone has the same issue, I'll know where to look for a solution.

Can you PM me with more details on how to do this, I'm facing the same problem....
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 7319669:
I've "upgraded" from the P8000, this things is astonishing and a world apart from it's/my predecessor.

Note I'm using the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910F (trltexx) - so please change your device if following this walkthrough, and as always I can't be held responsible for flashing problems, ending the world etc etc...

I'd thought I'd post here for the reference for anyone else getting into the scene but aimed particularly at linux users. I can't thank the cyanogenmod team enough for the quality of there wiki. I'm sharing my experience using debian jessie 8.6 + heimdall. The best way to follow the guide is as follows:

1. General Overview

Go-to the general page, useful to know how to get into boot/recovery mode.

2. Installing the goods!

This applies to every device here and I can't recommend this method enough. If you have previously installed heimdall, heimdall-flash, heimdall-frontend I'd remove this before moving onto this bit as this caused an enormous headache for me as it would not entertain the pit files.

One other thing before going into terminal and installing using the guide is to install git:

sudo apt-get install git

Just this is not mentioned here. Then proceed by clicking here. Yes you manually compile the software, yes it's very very simple.

3. Into the nitty gritty

Again, please ensure you're following the guide for your device this is based on the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910F (trltexx) - All other devices can be found via the search.

Now that the information is clear go here and follow the steps through.

I'd thought I'd put this up there as there is a minefield of information out there and this literally took 10 mins from install to loading cyanogenmod up on my device.

Have a good day.

I love my droid and have never had an iphone but really loving the new imessage I saw on ios10.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] NIKKOTUASON:
I don't get what the rave is all about with iMessage. Dont all plans offer unlimited SMS & MMS? Or am I missing something?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] khaos64:
Unlimited SMS is nice but when you have little to no service at the house or work you need a messanger.

iMessage is superior - but the issue for android is fragmentation. Google needs to implement a standard app across all devices that is both SMS/messanger that doesnt require "sign up". So even if manufacturers want to use their own sms app by default - users can still "iMessage" other android users without them going and downloading the same app and signing up, or having to ever open the app prior...I.e. WhatsApp.

iOS users would be more apt to download and use the app as they know they could message any android user. They would not have to play hot potato between apps to message different friends on android. Same goes for android to android.

Would be even better (probably wouldn't happen) if the app was default on ios as well, as they definitely would never be giving Google access to iMessage.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chyeo1979:
Still dun understand how much different is iMessage compared to whatsapp? I know you need to download whatsapp but who dun have whatsapp nowadays?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] khaos64:
~80% of my friends & family are on ios, maybe two of them had WhatsApp. My android friends was a toss up between hangouts and WhatsApp.

the simplicity of being able to share your high quality pix and videos with a convenience of a text message..

Let's face it this is the deal breaker that apple has that samsung just can't break.. a lot of Apple fans are drawn to Android devices but without Imessage it makes them stay..

I can almost guarantee a few of your friends will not download an app and add bloatware so Android can have a taste of imessage .. i always say can yall download this app so i can send you pix n videos I get a lot of just get an iPhone and make it easier for everybody
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] crubbish:
Slim would be nice.

Do you own device? Wouldn't it be hard to build a rom without having hardware to test/debug?

CM build for Z2 Pro has number of bugs and is not maintained.

Thanks.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] InterfaceNode:
I'll build an initial test of something closer to AOSP like Slim, or Omni.

I'll then ask for ADB logcat from users to determine which HW is not good.

The HW that is not good, it may be the result of vendor files being used; I will then look at a phone that uses identical HW and use their vendor files in applicable places to update it if required.

It's really easy to build for this device if CM will build for it; that's a great starting place and a lot of the heavy lifting has already been done by others to bring it up
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] crubbish:
Thanks for quick response. I'm prepared to be a tester when you have something ready. Good luck!
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] InterfaceNode:
I'll have a build for you to test in maybe an hour or so..

Since we're all scratching each-others back; does anyone have a pull of the 6.0 Z2 stock ROM?
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] InterfaceNode:
Good god I really hope so, I always want immediate feedback :(

If you're interested in testing for me on a more daily basis; I'll bring amazing firmware to this device that people have never heard of..

Edit: Maybe it will take a little under 2 hours? this device does not really seem to have configurations for an AOSP ROM.

I'm very sure that my configurations will be good; but I'm not going to lie I did use some prebuilt things so I may run into conflicts if the device configurations want something that doesn't exist in AOSP.

At some point I'll write about this, source-building for a device is not a mystical process that requires a person to own the device; the only benefit to owning the device would be to extract ADB after building has finished.

Owning a device will not assist you in the build process unless it is to pull proprietary files from the stock ROM, users generally post Stock ROMs anyway so really.

I see people getting ready to collect donations and building this up like it's some kind of epic challenge or whatever.

This device is already being staged for Mokee, it's not going to be hard to build for it since someone else has already done all of the hard stuff.

Making this thread is more or less like seeing people on the sidewalk; I'm driving by and it's raining so I want to go through the puddle on the side of the street where they are walking.

Naturally I'll also accept donations, either PayPal or BTC is fine for me!!!!!!!!!!!

But I'm going to begin working irrespective of that because fundamentally It's not about the money for me

The funny thing is on a morality level it feels almost spiritually wrong to even accept donations since another person brought up all of the core configurations every other person; including people in the Nameless ROM thread will use in the future lol

[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] MacLaughlin:
I'm excited for that to happen. Since mokee rom has a few minor bugs which didn't get fixed by now, I would be surprised if someone walks by and build like that. Nevertheless, time will tell and it would be nice if you could build dirty unicorns ????
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] InterfaceNode:
I would hope interested folks can give me the name of their device and the ADB.

Z2 is confirmed by me (looking at it) as stable enough to begin bringup of the following ROMs:

http://www.vibeui.com/

Zuk OS 6.0

I would like to begin collecting feedback on builds of these two ROMs at the same time as feedback on all AOSP builds.

To build DU is easy, I will write about how to do it for end-users and post configs to be used with it; but for now I want to first push stable AOSP and then consider what firmware to bring that is actually interesting.

Who cares in reality about DU or whatever, it all is essentially AOSP anyway compared to vendor ROMs
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] InterfaceNode:
Build for Z2 errored with that code.

To resolve it the important thing to note is: V4L2_EVENT_BITDEPTH_FLAG

Doing a search of it in Git brings me to:

https://github.com/MoKee/android_ke...mmit/b9534998dcc1c20afd01ed95bb4ef5b3a34fbdbd

Although this device is not Nubia, Nubia is very close and can clearly be used as a guide-line to determine the commits this kernel needs.

The red HW errors during building indicate the kernel does not align with the source; to resolve this I would need to either remove the functions relating to this from the source-code of AOSP or I would need to add it to the kernel.

In the spirit of not being regressive, I decided to add it to the kernel and am building again.

I guess I'll write about how I resolved certain things here as I go along
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] InterfaceNode:
Mokee kernel for this ROM is broken somehow, I speculate this is intentional so other people cannot build it but who knows right.

Meanwhile I've begun bringup on the kernel found here: https://github.com/RoyMcBaster/kernel_zuk_8996

No idea who this guy is, but his kernel doesn't seem to be sabotaged just incomplete so I'll use it as a base

Edit: Under my hardware, a build with no pre-built binaries takes around 40 minutes.

Each time I need to resolve the kernel in this way, I must rebuild entirely from the ground up; I am unsure of how many other alignment errors exist in this kernel but I imagine a few.

In a perfect world none but probably thats not happening, but it is ok I enjoy being challenged

Thank you, I've resolved the kernel for Z2 plus and will begin pushing builds of it as part of open-alpha.

Once I can determine both are stable we'll begin engaging in satanism; I'll try to do something interesting like TouchWiz or Sense.

I'm going to buy this device, but true to style I want to forward the development of it, bring some incredible OS to it.

Once both of my builds are stable I'll add more to this thread because I will be able to post my configs and explain how2use; things will move quickly here I hope
