Don't think so

I bought this phone last January. For a cheap phone it performs rather well. I rooted with Kingroot v4.5 and used the mrwolf script to replace Kinguser with SuperSu. Of course I had to modify the script for that version of Kingroot, the LGL16C's files that were affected by Kingroot, and the newer version of SuperSu I installed. This phone taught me how to manually replace Kinguser with SuperSu by only using RootExplorer. Pretty neat trick, have been able to do it with every cheap phone I've tried.

I had my LG Lucky rocking. Had Xposed installed, Luhkee Pasher worked great, Apps2SD partitioned my sdcard and moved apps to ext_sdcard and was running a swap partition for extra RAM. This little phone would format and partition sd cards that my more expensive devices would not.

It was a great disappointment when I discovered that the phone had no recovery. I was equally disappointed when I discovered that I couldn't use fastboot with it. If it has download mode, I have yet to discover that as well. I've searched the web high and low, numerous times at different intervals these past eight or nine months hoping that someone would post a factory firmware file, thread on how to install a recovery, how to install fastboot, etc...

I loaned my LG Lucky out to someone who had no means of accessing the internet a few weeks ago and they somehow soft bricked it. It turns on to the LG logo and stops. Without a recovery it's boned because adb "error: no devices/emulators found".

I have a backup.zip from TitaniumBackup but can't flash it. I pulled the firmware from the device when it was operational but have no way to push it back. So if you need any file or app from /system I have them.

I'm going to buy another one or two if I can find one. I think a person could use gparted to partition the hard disc for a recovery and a download mode. Right now it's over my head but I love to learn.

Also, this morning, I downloaded the tools and files from http://xdaforums.com/android/general/unbrick-lg-model-download-recovery-t3060184 If I can get something out of this phone by using this guide, I'll use the ROM Kitchen I have downloaded to make a ROM from the files I pulled previously with ADB.

I'll be sure to post back here with the results from using the guide.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] skytbest:
I'm about to purchase a S7 Edge so I've been poking around these forums trying to figure if I should/if I can modify it once I get it. I'm no stranger to rooting, unlocking, and installing custom ROMs on my previous phones but I'm trying to keep things relatively stock this time around. However, I will definitely want to root and potentially unlock the bootloader. After poking around here I have some questions:

1. I'm seeing different firmwares being talked about all over the place. What exactly are these firmwares? Are they OTA updates from Verizon? These aren't full ROMs or software updates, right?

2. I know Samsung has said that M is coming for the S7, but I also know that it's probably going to take forever for Samsung to get it out, and then it's going to take forever and a day for Verizon to approve/mangle it how they see fit. So I'm wondering if you guys think there will be a quicker upgrade path to N for those of us who are able to tinker with out phones like this. I'm talking Samsung N, not something like CM14. Though I'm not entirely opposed to a stock-based firmware, we'll see how much TouchWiz wares on me.

Thanks for any help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] GigaSPX:
1. There are only two types, the Verizon firmware and the U (for Unlocked) firmware. You should know what Verizon's always have in their software, but the Unlocked is the international variant that's much cleaner but also lacks features like Wi-Fi calling and visual voicemail.

2. The S7 and S7 Edge already comes with Marshmallow out of the box, if that's what you're asking? And TouchWiz isn't that bad especially how much they've cleaned it up for this year.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] skytbest:
Ok, thanks. And I actually meant Nougat, not Marshmallow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] joemill:
Is the latest software still rootable?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinOrochiX:
When I first got the phone it didn't take as long to charge but after the last update (or even the one before) it takes forever to charge, charging via mains is as slow as via usb. Anyone else experience this? :eek:

I have the EU variant running up to date firmware.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larsdennert:
Factory charger and cable?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinOrochiX:
Yup, bought my device from an official retailer, sealed. Like I said it only started after a recent update.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valest:
Could be:

A. Broken charger or cable( LG accessories are famous for poor quality,at least in CN )

B. Background processes or services are eating your CPU,causing excessive heat and power consumption , again very common in CN
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinOrochiX:
Update

Issue persists even in safe mode and when the device is off. However using my Amazon power bank (no fast charging) I get a good charging speed, I have checked with Ampere and this is what I get...

Charging with Amazon power bank: 1030mA

Charging with LG wallcharger: 450mA

Charging via USB: 230mA

All values are the maximum show (there was some fluctuation).

I have found that other people also experienced this issue in the past with the G4 but cannot find a solution, do you guys have any suggestions? I have only had the phone for <6 months :(
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacksoft87:
Same here this evening.

I had this issues before, but something like in distance of 2-3 months from now. The next day, usually, charges fast as ever...

Maybe is something software-related to retard battery degrading?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FadeFx:
Most likely your cable is worn out, or did you use the same cable on the power bank?

Gesendet von meinem LG-H815 mit Tapatalk
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinOrochiX:
I hope it is software related, many others have experienced similar issues (though the only posts I find are like a year old), my device is pretty much new.

No, my power bank comes with its own cable, I only use the supplied LG cable to charge the phone/media transfer.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FadeFx:
Try using the other cable together with lg charger to get a cmoarsion.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinOrochiX:
Update 2

Tried the other cable and guess what? It charged faster-as it is supposed to. I have just tried the LG cable again and it is slow, so the problem lies with the LG cable-which is annoying :mad:. Do you think I should contact LG tell ask for a new cable?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FadeFx:
Id say go to the electronics dealer you trust and buy a new one, cables are prone to wear out.

Gesendet von meinem LG-H815 mit Tapatalk
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinOrochiX:
Yeah I guess your right, the cable (and phone) are only a few months old so it is annoying, this is the first time such an issue has ever happened to me.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FadeFx:
I have my g4 for more than a year now and the cable is still the best i have. If you buy a new one, be carefull to buy good quality one, cheap quality cables can bring severe problems like strange touchscreen behaviour while charging or low ampere due to unstable power (bad connectors).

Gesendet von meinem LG-H815 mit Tapatalk
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajkatiyar07:
i have faced the same problem and i found that cable was faulty even that was almost new. Service center simply replaced it and all is well.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinOrochiX:
Update 3

Ok here is some information that will boggle your minds...

So I decided to test the cable a bit, I used my brother's S7 Edge to charge the device and it charged fine! (using the LG cable/adapter). So the cable is fine??? :eek: I don't get it, other devices charge fine however the G4 charges abnormally... :silly:

I'm pretty sure this issue started after an update but it still doesn't make any sense!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinOrochiX:
Problem solved!

Edited: The issue remains, charging in different rooms of the house gives varying charge speeds, funny really.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F-L-Y-E-R:
Thank you for the info! Same happened to me couple of days ago... Was so worried it takes 1 hour to charge 20% probably same issue as yours... Will try another cable.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinOrochiX:
I never managed to fix it nor find out what caused it. I sent the device for repairs (under warranty) and all they did was send me a new battery, after which the problem still remained. So it could've only been an issue somewhere within the motherboard. :confused: I just used a fast charger after that.

Either way after hearing of the device not getting nougat (now apparently it will) I sold the device on and got a Xperia device which is running well. The G4 was a great phone for the first few months after which it just went downhill.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F-L-Y-E-R:
I agree with you, since day one I am experiencing some weird screen bugs, vertical black line appears now and then for couple of seconds, some icon marks remain on the screen as well just too many bugs...

Hey all.

I am trying to unroot and re lock my bootloader so my phone is back to its normal state

I have wiped all data on twrp and re flashed with 136.

That isn't the issue,

Whenever I go to change the theme it doesnt let me, the stock icons are big and ugly and werent the stock ones I had before.

Does anybody have a guide on how I can remove all traces of this root because its not letting me get rid of these ugly icons.

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] buljo:
can you please elaobarate? i have the same problem...
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] jamorimpt:
I think that what he said is this:

- Create a dload folder on sd card root

- Copy update.app (from 136) to dload folder on sd card

- Force an reflash: power off, then vol up+vol down+power

- After flashing, go to huawei updater and update to the last official version for your phone

This is what I've done with mine. And ended with bootloader locked and everything as factory again.

Hope it helps, but if you search the forum you will find a lot of info about this procedure.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Mostar088:
If u wipe data and flash u need to include the hw folder to with the firmware in dload folder when u flash to get rid of the ugly icons and get Themes to work.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] smohanv:
You have to flash stock recovery via fastboot before this method of complete reflashing firmware. Otherwise flashing process may fail and end up on eRecovery screen.

I have seen a couple of Nougat roms out there which have App Ops built inside their Nougat custom ROM (recently the Nitrogen OS N has it). My question is is there any way to get it for Stock ROM as well? I really like this app and would love to use it on my stock ROM. If somebody has an APK for it for Nougat and can provide the link that would be great.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] johnb380:
It's not just an apk it has to built into the whole system framework. Your not getting it on stock. But you can do similar with the stock optimizing and unoptimizing we call it Doze. Go into battery and then click the menu that's the best your getting on stock!

I'm still running mm for that exact reason (waiting for my fav services to be supported) but I'll go hit up the dev and shoot him a donation if you will...and anyone else reading this. Hopefully, he or someone is willing to work on it. I mean, Android's new permission system is hideous and and app ops is a must (to me) to be able to block certain permissions without causing apps to refuse to run because of it.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] AdamT6:
Testing out NitrogenOS 7.1.1 with app ops built in, thought you might be interested.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Dopamin3:
Sorry if this is a stupid question- but what is the point of it? Can't you manage permissions under Settings -> Apps -> *select desired app* -> Permissions? Or does this give you more control?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] ElwOOd_CbGp:
since mm, android's built in permissions model will cause app to refuse to run when not granted the permissions asked. With AppOps, you can grant the system level permission while denying via AppOps and the app will run while receiving empty data for the permission in question. There are a few other quirks too such as contacts and account access permissions being bundled under one switch which is some total bovine excrement if you ask me.
[G3 General] booboss:
Hello guys,

Long story short.... I have an LG G3 D855 european version. Of course like "normal" user of any phone it has custom rom, custom recovery and root. And of course it's not a big deal to bring it to stock if you want to return in on warranty repair, at least normally it isn't. My phone after less then 2 years started to act wierd. One day it started to restarting or hanging every few minutes. It's not software fault because when I was trying to do backup from TWRP it also hanged during backup. Obviously it's hardware fault - probably motherboard. Problem is.... how the heck am I supposed to bring it back to stock state when it's hanging every few minutes? What I did was to try to flash stock firmware via LG FlashTool. Operation started well but of course on about 15% phone hanged.

So current situation is:

- every time I power on phone it just goes to bootloader mode

- no way to see what firmware is actually installed (or is it rooted)

- no visible sign of TWRP recovery (most probably it isn't even there now)

So my question is:

1. Can I send it in this state to warranty repair?

2. If yes, what should I wrote in problem description so they don't suspect that is my fault anyhow? Actually it isn't - it's hardware fault, but they can't see software modifications.

My suggestion is to write that phone started to hang or restart every few minutes, so I tried to do factory reset and it restarted during this operation and after that it starts in bootloader mode every time. Do they buy it? Or should I wrote something more reliable? Or do something more with phone before I send it to warranty.
[G3 General] debruin89:
Hi,

Depends on where you live. I live in The Netherlands, here we can send an item in under "warranty" (even in your case) and the manufacturer has to proof the problem is your fault....

even if they find out you rooted it & stuff. (but they will not bother)

I have never seen a device send back/refused because of this. (I work @ a major retailer)

and for the problem description... just say, it doesn't work... I'm just a customer... (I have no technical knowledge :) lol )

but if you live outside of the EU, I guess laws are more in favor of the manufacturer.
[G3 General] booboss:
Well.... I live some close to you (Poland) so I guess EU laws applies here in the same favor as in Netherlands. Thank you for your reply, I'll just send it and make myself as stupid simple customer as possible :)
[G3 General] cultofluna:
I had the same problem as you...

I've send it for reparation ...

2 weeks later get it back with new motherboard and a stock v30n mm....

I've downgraded to v30b...root it

and I'm back to business.....

EDIT: Living in Netherlands...
[G3 General] Tomogitarist:
If you can't access it to unroot the phone and your motherboard died, so the people in repair shop can't either. Similar thing happened to me 2 months ago. Was rooted, the motherboard died. I couldn't do anything on the phone (including connecting to PC). They couldn't check if I had root or not, so they just put in the new motherboard with the warranty.

You should try send it to warranty shop, you don't have anything to lose. It might get repaired under warranty. If not, it's not if you are going to jail or something. They will just return you the phone as it is.

Honor 8 Smart got launched today for a price tag that is nearly double than that of Honor 5C.

What is there in Honor 8 smart for the doubled price ?

1. Both Honor 8 Smart and Honor 5C has Kirin 650 processor. Processor in Honor 8 smart is clocked at 2GHz and the one in 5C clocked at 1.7GHz.

2. Honor 8 Smart has NFC which 5C doesn't have in its indian variant (NEM-L22)

3. Honor 8 Smart has Dual tone Flash compared to the single tone flash in 5C

4. Honor 8 Smart is equipped with Gyroscope which Honor 5C and even 5X don't have.

5. Honor 8 Smart doesn't support FM radio which is supported by 5C

6. Honor 8 Smart supports single-SIM (Nano-SIM) slot unlike 5C which supports dual sim.

7. Honor 8 has HiSilicon Hi6402 24-bit DAC, Smart PA amplifier for audio amplification which is not there in 5C.

8. Both Honor 8 smart and Honor 5C will be upgraded to EMUI 5 (Nougat)
