[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avantu:
Maybe it's true, but how can u know? If you bought it directly from LG(and u can't cause they don't sell phones themselves) i wouldn't complain. But buying phone off amazon with different serial numbers isn't making it legit to me.

---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

I can't understand your english, but if his stickers says 404k serial number, and the app shows 505, IT IS MISMATCH. Do you get it?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deltadiesel:
It is not a mismatch....

The motherboard/apps says 505

The sticker says 404

The motherboard was REPAIRED not changed. Its JUST a sticker

If it were REPAIRED it is no LONGER MANUFACTURED ON 505 is it?

THEREFORE default number on sticker
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avantu:
Soory mate, i can't understand your wording.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deltadiesel:
I am writing in English.....

It is not a mismatch....it is the same phone repaired....only thing has changed is the sticker.

App will say original serial number

The number he has on his phone is for ALL phone that has been repaired.....not parts changed

It is REFURBUSHED

I don't think I can make it any clearer than that

The sticker is FOR LG to know it was repaired

They do this to make money it needs repair again

Without original sticker....they won't repair it. Only they issue the sticker. You can change parts from 2 phone into 1 but they will know

That's why it is 1 number......always the same one

You can't just make your own number or have 1 sticker and different parts and expect them to repair it

Basicly he has no WARRANTY

That's all
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deltadiesel:
All these phones have NO warranty

REFURBISHED

Its more common than you think

Every company that manufacturers phones does this

LG put the sticker on...not Amazon

There is no person selling online Amazon making his own stamps and stickers

LG FIXED the phone made it look nice and put a sticker. That's why they use the same number.

They have a database.

That's all there to it

You can put 2 phones into 1 and make yourself a new phone.....what's the difference? You are paying LG anyway. Its going to cost you for the second phone to have 2 to make 1

At least if you have this phone number you know it was repaired by LG not blow joe
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avantu:
LG Refurbishes the phone and doesn't give warranty? So what's the point in buying phone that can't die any second? Is it even legal to sell things without any warranty? And how u know it was repaired by LG if i can put 505 board into some dead 404 G4 and it will be the same?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deltadiesel:
It is sold as REFURBISHED.....there is no lie about this. Warranty usually 60 days... If there is one

Why would you want to put a 505 board into a 404?

A 404 doesn't really exist. A 404 is a 505 608 701 or any number you can think of that has failed and has been repaired, casing changed by LG and stickered. It is now REFURBUSHED

The phone you have if it breaks, you return it to store... LG repairs it. It is now a 404 .....JUST THE STICKER changed to next person that buys it

There is no 404 model. A 404 is a sticker given to a repaired phone

The inside was not swapped out. It was repaired

The only guarantee you have is the phone works when it left factory, you have to pay for additional warranty, or you return it to Amazon after you receive jt

The only person that lied here is the Amazon seller. Claiming that it was brand new

If you buy one of these phones your not paying full price what it is going for at the time

You get what you pay for.

Go to any electronics store and ask them if they have a REFURBUSHED TV cell phone DVD player ..... And ask them what price is of refurbished compared to brand new and what is warranty on it

You are saving money by having no warranty

That's what happens when you buy off Ebay or Amazon.....you are looking for a deal

Otherwise you'd go to mobile store and pay full price

---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 PM ----------

If I offer to sell you a Refurbished LG G8 with 60 days warranty for 1000 dollars instead of 1300 with 1 year are you going to buy it?

If you buy that LG G8 for 1300 at it needs repair in 1 year I send you a new one....LG is repairing your phone, changing casing putting a sticker it that says 404 serial number and sells it to wholesaler it is now also 1000 dollars

Still has the same serial number

Sticker says 404
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avantu:
Ahhh! Now i get what u mean! I guess u are right, but I would still contact LG to confirm that this phone is legit or smth. If it was bought as brand new it isn't true as u said.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deltadiesel:
Well like said it when it is Refurbished it is repaired, casing was and sticker was changed to 404

When they change the casing....that mean cosmetically now it will be perfect. They throw in new charger...new box...

Really looks like a brand new LG phone. Thats why some people choose this instead of buying from someone.

I doubt LG will offer anything. They know you have purchased at lower cost

You could always try....but remember you chose to pay less. They will likely not honor you anything

Tip: don't buy electronics online off eBay and amazon... Or ship it back in time before your return policy is up

Hello all... I need help ... I downloaded PD2 firmware, unzipped it and Odin AP. It flashed fine, but now when phone boots, all process are giving me the "unfortunately Google services stopped"... It's happening to all my apps. I can't even dial a number on my phone app before it force closes. Somebody help? It's urgent, I'm not seeing any replies :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] tdunham:
Save files from internal storage and factory reset in recovery. If that doesn't work, do it again and reflash.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] cisco150:
i just check my imei and its showing blacklisted thats after i gave samsung my imei for the return and waiting on shipping box. as of Tuesday. be careful guys think sprint or Samsung are blocking imei now
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pdxguy77:
Mine isnt blacklisted on sprint
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] nosympathy:
I said before, they will be black listed eventually. It's easy for them to start black listing them as they get them back. They are not going to want to accidentally have them activated again.

I don't think we have to worry for now, but at some point I would bet money there if a forced blacklist of all Note 7s if you kept it or not. I don't think they can make you return it, but they can keep you from using it on their network.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] cisco150:
Im using the sprint version unlocked on att as of now till i get the return box its show up on sprint as imei blacklist but still running on att

How did you unlock your Sprint Note 7 for use with AT&T?
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] a454nova:
I talked to a connection I have at Sprint (high up), they will not be blocking Note 7s unless you swap them out to Samsung, then they go dead as if lost. If you choose to keep it, they are not cutting you off or forcing you turn them over, it's only recommended. In fact less than half of the Note 7 user have return them and are still active as of today.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] GadgetMonger:
Hmmm.... Has anyone heard of anymore Notes going up in smoke? Last I heard 97 had went up in flames here in the United States. I haven't heard of any new cases since before the recall got expanded.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] kstephens98:
And you probably won't. Mission has been accomplished.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] GadgetMonger:
Surprisingly easy to believe. Pretty sad. I'm just trying to decide how long to keep my device though. Updates. Support. Even insurance. It's all a question now. Until the next big thing at least
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] konnector:
Sure they are blocking phones turned in with the recall but NOT phones that are still active.
[Sprint Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Danilynne:
Mine is fine as well!! Note 7 is not going to leave my hands, unless of course after all this time it decides to explode, but i'm not counting on it.:good:

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] br0adband:
Well once you commit to the recall and they register you as doing so there's nothing illegal about them blacklisting an IMEI - the phone needs to be sent back, period, end of story and there's no getting around that regardless of how people are trying to rationalize keeping them.

If you truly want to keep the device, don't contact Samsung and hope for the best as time passes (meaning that it continues working and it doesn't blow up in your face). :)

Im still using it on att its unlocked but blacklist on sprint. Ill send it back when i get the box.

[Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConsultJoseph:
Well, basically, whatever I do with my Google Playstore isn't working at all. If I download or update an app, it's always loading. I can't update the software either because it says "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available". This phone is not rooted.

I tried doing the factory reset 3x now and it's always like this (playstore not updating/downloading). Basically, the apps I have now are download apks through other programs/sites but once you try to update them, nada.

BTW, date settings are correct and I have a working GMAIL account in it.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craige:
You cannot update the software because you are having SD card in your phone! Remove it, and it will update.

Also, I would suggest reset your phone without SD card in it and then later on format the card within your phone....
[Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConsultJoseph:
I will try and let you guys know.
[Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConsultJoseph:

[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] shalz:
Why isnt jio sim working in honor 6 and honor 7, when it claims to support 4G LTE..

I am confused..

someone please make me clear..
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] DigiGoon:
Because neither of them supports VoLTE, only 4G LTE is supported & not VoLTE.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] vsriram92:
Jio SIM will have its data working fine in all LTE devices. But to make voice calls, you need VoLTE support.

Honor is rolling out VoLTE update for its devices in phased manner. Honor 5X got it now.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] shalz:
But sir I am not getting any signal on jio sim when inserted in honor 6 or 7.

I ve B811 EMUI 4.

How can I use it for data?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] vsriram92:
Try choosing Jio as network operator manually by going to Settings > Mobile Networks > Network Operators.

If you're still not getting network just dial a code*#*#4636#*#*?*then turn off the radio and set LTE only for your jio sim and again turn on radio and reboot your device.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] shalz:
But this code doesnt work for honor 6..

already tried,, nothing happens:confused:
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] AB11930:
Did you tried enabling 4G options in your mobile nerwork section??
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] shalz:
yes:)
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] vsriram92:
We don't have any other options.

Dial 1800-88-99999 and ask JIO customer support (Toll Free)
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] DigiGoon:
Try enabling mobile data of Jio, an see if the network comes. :)
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] harikp6247:
In India 4G is provided in two bands. ie. Band 3 & Band40. Honor 6 supports only one of the two bands. So in some places it does not work.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] vsriram92:
Sorry for this silly question.

When you got this sim? Does it get activated?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] DigiGoon:
It needs yo support VoLTE for default voice calling over LTE
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] vsriram92:
Just now noticed that Honor 6 H60-L04 does support only Band 3 LTE.

JIO doesn't have Band 3 LTE license for 4 Telecom circles.

You might have been in any of those Telecom circles I think.

Attached the Telecom circle list.

Source - Wikipedia

According to this list people in Bihar, Jharkhand, Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh (West) who are using Honor 6 can't use JIO SIM as Band 3 is not supported there.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] shalz:
Thank you Vsriram....

Since I am from J&K I can't use it over honor 6..

Is there any possibility that huawei could provide support for Band 3 in future updates..?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] vsriram92:
Band 3 support is related to hardware. So Huawei can't update it.

However if JIO gets that band in your region, you might get it. Unless that happens, im sorry to say that you can't use your JIO SIM in your Honor 6.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] shalz:
Oh That really is a bad news..
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] vsriram92:
Honor 6 supports only Band 3 LTE. But Honor 6 Plus supports Band 40 LTE. So 6 Plus users won't have any problems in using JIO.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] Ratheeah:
Why I can't use jio in my Honor 8...Whenever I search for network it's said no network access..
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] phantroid:
mine is honor 6x bought from middle east. i can use data on jio sim in india but no volte no lte means slow data speed and i have to use jio4gvoice app for calling. at the same time the same model released in india has all these supported. so i think a software update might overcome this issue.. or i am wrong??
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] miststudent2011:
or you can flash a different region rom to get the support.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] Kvnjcob434:
I use a honor x6 which i ppurchased from middle east, it has a new update b361 , its for nougat update but not sure if it gives a volte support too . Can anyone confirm, who knows about it .

As far as I remember b361 supports volte there is a discussion regarding it on other threads search it you can get confirmation.

[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] miststudent2011:
Yes Indian version of 6x firmware has volte .

In order to install Indian firmware I think you have to rebrand your device.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] Kvnjcob434:
What is rebranding ? .and how can it be done ? Please help me out
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] miststudent2011:

You have to change it to other region model its called rebranding.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] Kvnjcob434:
Its is a bl21; is there any video links i can follow for rebranding my phone to indian firmware ?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] miststudent2011:
I think its hard to find a video link for the guide.

There are only text guides.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] Kvnjcob434:
That would help too , cuz i did not find any , please share a link so i can take a look at it

Okay let me check and share you.

BTW why do you need volte version?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] Kvnjcob434:
Im using a jio , and it annoys me to switch through third party apps and make calls. Thank you for ur support , waiting for a link soon .
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] miststudent2011:
Haven't you purchased Indian variant?

Or did you rebrand it?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] gopinaidu77:
So u arent using an indian version is it?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] Kvnjcob434:
Purchased it from kuwait , i moved to India , so now its not having volte and i badly want it. Planning to sell it and getting a new one, which would make no sense !!
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] adriansticoid:
Sad to hear this. Better to buy an updated phone with VoLTE support.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] miststudent2011:
Okay I think I found a helpful guide.

Before I can help you I have few questions.

1.Is your bootloader unlocked?

2.What emui version do you have.

3.What is the current android version?

4.What is your current build Number?

5.What is your device mode Number (BLN-L21 EU version right?)?

6.Have you made any modifications to your device previously?

7.Make a complete backup through TWRP of all partitions imp all partitions.

Answer me all I will try to help you.

(Prior to the downgrade I did flash the B320 recovery.img as I was on TWRP before)

On boot, Huawei logo displays then display goes black. Still powered on but not displaying anything

eRecovery is accessible, tried wiping cache but no change, also tried factory reset

Can't access device over ADB as it doesn't detect in "adb devices"

Bootloader is now locked (was unlocked before)

I can "fastboot reboot" but no other command works due to bootloader locked

I can do Vol Up+Down reset but takes me right back to blank screen after installing.
