After dealing with LG for 2 weeks and hung up on I returned my V20 and not buying another LG product in the near future. Sadly I have been delegated to the iPhone and insert Chinese manufacturers here.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
If I recorded the conversation and see how cordial I was asking 2 questions. A simple sorry for the inconvenience we are 2 weeks behind schedule and we will have it out as soon as possible over can't help you *click*. One guy sorry our department doesn't handle that. I ask can you give me the number to the right department please. He hangs up after I asked that.

So V20 gone and still no eCheck. Not expecting to get it, but T-Mobile was nice enough to let me return the phone. Yes I did check my spam folder. :)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
An update still no echeck. T-Mobile gave me $200 credit and allowed me to move away from the V20 a few days ago. I don't like Samsung and HTC 10 wasn't sold by them I had to get an iPhone. No I am not on JoD. So with no help from LG I will not deal with them any time in the near future.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] kevs888:
This is the outcome I'm hoping for...how difficult was it for you to get T-Mobile to give you the $200 credit?

The only reason why I got the V20 is because of the $200 check. T-Force is looking into why mine didn't come, but they're saying my submission was denied even though I checked with them after it was submitted and got confirmation that everything looked to be in good order on their side.

I'd gladly take a $200 credit and then move back to the S7 Edge until the S8 comes out. I'm just used to Samsung having had every Galaxy S since the S3 and every Note since the Note 3.

The iPhone is just too tough for me (personally) to make the switch as I'm comfortable with Android.

For me personally, the V20 camera takes horrible pictures compared to the S7/S7 Edge and Note 7. It's just too grainy for me and lowlight pictures don't even compare, imo.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bazation:
Hello guys,

i rooted My axon 7 with the tutorial: root with unlocked bootloader.

But My proplem is that i cant use twrp,because twrp want the decrypt password for Mount.

I formated data etc. In twrp, AS soon AS the OS starts, twrp want the decrypt password.

What can i do? May be a tutorial?

Thank you very much

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] awsomjgp:
Are you able to remove your passwords, fingerprints, etc?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bazation:
No passwords, lockscreen,fingerprint or something!

I tried with default_password,too but no way!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] trace1er:
There is no way around this. You either need to unlock your bootloader, or just flash back the stock ZTE recovery.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] strifej:
Didn't read op prpoerly.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bazation:
OK, thank you very much.

If i unlocked the bootloader, twrp want not a decrypt password?

And how unlocked the bootloader with this combination(twrp+rooted b02 Rom). Or is this not possible?

Thanx thanx thanx
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nsane:
When TWRP asks for password, hit "cancel" and then WIPE data.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Nik2424:
Just hit cancel and you can still use twrp to flash stuff like xposed and other zips. You just can't place those zips on the internal storage, you will have to place them on a microsd card.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] NooBDroidPlayer:
oh man, my stupidity has done it again.

i did these stupid things below by short:

sm n910g sintel from singapore

last build is 5.0.1 N910GDTU1BOF1

the recently update to 6.0.1 N910GDTU1DPG4

no good

downgrade to 5.1.1 N910GDTU1DPG4

successfull

still no good

want to try dr ketan m6 custom rom

upgrade to 6.0.1 again using smart switch

device stuck in recovery loop

downgrade again with odin but failed

then stuck in firmware upgrade failed screen

can't load stock recovery

can load download mode

try flash cutom twrp & cwm recovery for 6.0.1 since the downgrade failed

can manage to start up recovery of each version

but getting mount /system error

now the device won't boot into tw ui

only can but into twrp/cwm recovery

what should i do now?

please help out

many thanks to you

------------------------------------------------------

since i don't know how to use adb to push file trough twrp

i use micro sd card to flash dr ketan's m6 rom

i factory wipe in cwm

then i install by ext sd following the insturction given in dr ketan's thread

this time i manage to go through samsung galaxy note 4 logo and to samsung logo and the logo is now blinking with the uper right hand light

still not sure if it's under looping cause just 2 minute is wrote this status, still waiting

i notice when in galaxy note 4 logo, i saw there is yellow santance in the top left

saying firmware bit and kernel bit

what does that mean?

-------------------------------------------

currently the device is in apps installing page

i think the installation is a success, is it?

still waiting it to be fully usable

-------------------------------------------

yes!!!

it was a success!!!

currently i'm running dr ketan m6 on my n910g

it's so smooth

but one thing here

before i flash this rom

i did the facrtory reset in the cwm

now that the rom is install, and the esential update that comes with it is installed too

should i go for another factory wipe?

if so, which factory wipe should i choose?

the one in cwm or the one in the m6 system?

-----------------------------------

device is kind of burning now

i wonder is it that i choose to restore all the apps from previous firmware

all 69 apps of them......

-----------------------------------

Uptill now the using experience of Dr ketan m6 is quite good

But still facing a bit laggy while wake up from sleep state

And wired thing is lock screen uses two step

First scroll page to enter password page (eg, draw pattern)

At this point it's gone laggy, for maybe 1~3 time to try to unlock the phone again

Just now I faced this problem again, I think it might be the cache problem

So I try to go in to recovery using power button long press > restart > recovery

But strange thing happen

I can't boot in to recovery

It shows "sbl1 partition doesn't exist"

I haven't try download mode yet

But do I have to Odin again for the custom recovery (cwm) to be use in the future?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] samep:
You haven't mentioned trying wipes or factory reset. That may be the cause of not booting system when you downgraded.

Unable to mount system in recovery is concerning though. Could possibly be eMMC corruption or hardware failure? But did you make sure the reactivation lock was off? The fact that you were able to flash in Odin successfully suggests it was off to start with but did you enable it afterwards? Read your phone's display while in download mode for reactivation lock status. If unlocked, the focus should be on flashing the right tar- like the one that matches your data.

Did the downgrade with Odin attempt to flash an older tar not compatible with bootloader? (You can't flash full tars like Android 5.0 or KitKat in Odin).

It may be wise to Odin flash the last stock tar that actually booted and matches your data if you haven't wiped it. Or flash the tar you want- as long as it's allowed- and factory reset in stock recovery and Odin the tar again.

But, if you did enable reactivation lock, you should Odin the full tar that matches your point of lock. You would also need to allow it to auto boot and sign in with same Google user and password.

If still having issues or tried all of that already, I haven't mentioned that you should wipe internal memory with TWRP or CWM. If you've had CM on the phone, you should wipe internal memory before stock tar flash. One thing I prefer to do with stock tars is flash them cleanly: backup first, then wipe everything but extSdCard, power down, pull battery. Wait at least 30 seconds, discharge the power circuit by gently pressing and holding power button with battery removed. Install battery and boot to download mode to flash stock tar with latest Odin and Odin defaults.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] NooBDroidPlayer:
about the factory wipe, i only did the part that i mentioned, those which i didn't mention, no, this is my carelessness

about reactivation lock, i don't really know what is it, is it debugging mode in the developer menu?

the 1st downgrade from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 both are stock, and is a success, the 2nd downgrade are under the same situation, but failed, when upgrade to 6.0.1, the 1st i use OTA, 2nd i use smart switch, for downgrading in use odin on both, 1st success, 2nd failed, i'm using stock downloaded from sammobile
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] samep:
The reactivation lock is enabled by two different methods. Manually at Settings/Security; you also get prompted to set it on the last step of setup wizard after flashing a stock tar.

However, you can verify that reactivation lock is off when in download mode. Read your phone's screen. It should say that it is off.

The Note 4 has an infamous tendency to corrupt or just wear out the eMMC due to excessive wipes, format of data and flashes. I would advise limited use of Odin, Smart Switch and OTA updates to minimum to get you where you want to be. Even the multiple use wipes in recovery should be limited. They're all suspect IMO.

Maybe the extra updates you've attempted were due to things not going as expected or you've experienced the failure or corruption of eMMC. I'd suggest you resolve the reactivation lock (If shown to be locked) try the suggested wipe and flash method at end of my first post on the tar you intend to flash to get the ROM of your choice and limit updates as much as possible.

If you get there cleanly with no failure to boot or reboots unexpected reboots thereafter, maybe it was just something that needed clearing out of internal memory. With that in mind, if you get to the point of flashing a custom ROM, read the OP our thread carefully; consider wiping internal memory in custom recovery before flashing ROM, if suggested.

Maybe just format data once per ROM flash. There's also an option in TWRP settings to wipe rather than format.

i'll be more caution in the future, thank for the great help !!!:D
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] samep:
I've noticed in my Sprint forum that some users downgrading from Marshmallow to Lollipop with Odin full tar reportedly had to factory reset after Odin of stock Lollipop tar.

They said phone failed to boot until the factory reset.

There's two particulars that apply to quick downgrade in our forum. If you have an old lollipop TWRP backup of desired ROM and an XDA thread that contains bootloader tars to flash in Odin, you can easily just TWRP backup your current Marshmallow ROM, factory reset and wipe internal memory and restore the TWRP backup of Lollipop and Odin the equivalent bootloader. But without the right bootloader, Wi-Fi won't connect and camera won't focus correctly.

You could easily upgrade and downgrade with TWRP backups and bootloader tars that way minimizing excessive wear on eMMC. Just remember to backup current ROM, factory reset, wipe internal memory, restore backup and flash the equivalent bootloader. Keep your backups current and relevant and always backup to ext sdcard- same for titanium backup backups.

Still I prefer to minimize upgrade and downgrade and wipes to possibly extend the life of the eMMC to maximum. I just minimize wipe and flash so much to avoid component wear. Just a theory though. Also try to minimize heat by avoiding fast charging and ventilating phone when optimizing apps on initial boot of new custom ROM or after flashing Xposed or any wipe of dalvik-cache.
[Zooper Widget General] Benrap:
I recently wondered if I can copy the currently active statusbar notification icons, and paste them inside a zooper widget. By this I can simulate a statusbar within a widget.

Is this possible? I have root access/xposed/able to flash zips if required.

I flashed the TMobile firmware leaving me stuck on Bootloader 4. I found a site, paid the $15 and downloaded this U firmware hoping it work. It indeed did, leaving me on PI3 U firmware. I used the modded Odin in the root thread. Flashed all the files in their appropriate slots in Odin, and as a habit did a factory wipe/reset in recovery before first boot. Running great!

I'm using 930U FW on my AT&T branded 930A phone on AT&T network and band 17 is active when I'm at the office even though it is not supposed to work on the 930U?.

I purchased a used T-Mobile S7 knowing I wanted to use it on MetroPCS. I flashed the latest version of MetroPCS firmware I could find for free and was able to take a OTA using WiFi. Now if I wanted to use this clutter free "U" firmware can I simply flash it all in Odin, let it boot up and then go back into Odin and flash the MetroPCS specific CP?

My second unrelated question is this: I'm not quite understanding the bootloader talk. How do we know what bootloader we are on and how can we tell what bootloader a particular firmware is on that you may be considering to use. What are the bootloader "rules" when flashing firmware?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] xDark_:
Yep. Though I think it's the CSC you're supposed to flash. Try one or the other and see how it goes.

T-Mobile's newest firmwares (pretty sure this goes for the other carriers too) uses Bootloader v4. The older unlocked versions used BL3. You can't downgrade BLs so if you updated your carrier firmware and then tried to flash the unlocked version with BL3, it wouldn't work. But now this unlocked firmware has been updated with BL4 so you can flash it, even if you're on the newest update.
