[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] alluringreality:
I bought an iPhone 7 at Best Buy, tried to port from a Verizon MVNO to Verizon, and then ended up returning the phone for a Pixel, so I've seen some of their workings first-hand. In the end their mistakes worked in my favor, but it all literally took hours, so I'd recommend planning on being patient until they can resolve your issue to your satisfaction. I would just go in and be very clear that I wanted to exchange the phone for a working device and keep the same outstanding device payment as I currently have. If after talking to a few people they couldn't help me do that, I'd try a second store, since I've seen different service at various stores. I figure they can eventually be able to help you, but based on my Best Buy phone experiences, I'd just expect to be patient and plan on possibly being there for a couple hours.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] quangtran1:
Just to address your last paragraph, I don't believe Best Buy will sell you a phone unactivated. I purchase phones on a weekly basis; sometimes from Best Buy, sometimes from other retailers, and mostly from Verizon. Only Verizon corporate stores would let me walk out with an unopened box. I'm a VZW "Red Carpet" customer that they would just scan the UPCs of the MEID and SIM on the outside of the box, and send me away. The whole transaction takes less than 5 minutes. On the other hand, BB takes a good 20 minutes to go through the agreement and activation.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] aholeinthewor1d:
Weekly basis? Do you sell them or something? PM me and teach me your tricks!!!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Colchiro:
Don't forget you have 30 day (or is it 20 now) buyer remorse. You can return the phone and get your money back.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] aholeinthewor1d:
14 days
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Colchiro:
I remember when it was 30..... (Does that make me old?)
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] aholeinthewor1d:
"vintage"? :silly:
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bwthor20:
I bought two iPhone 7's after Black Friday when Best Buy had them on sale for $1 with two year contract. One for my son, and one for resale since I was due for an upgrade on my line which had my new Pixel on it which was purchased through Google.

Both phones left the store unopened and obviously unactivated. Came with the SIM card on the little credit card still not punched out.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] quangtran1:
Rarely that I sell them, mostly I use them for different coding projects, then I give them to employees. Or I sell them back to carriers on the device recycling program. Old phones that aren't worth much, I save those to trade in for new phones when they run specials. For example, Verizon right now would give $200 for an iPhone 4 if you get the Pixel.

For new phones, SIM cards don't normally come on those cardboard business cards any more. Apple, Samsung, LG, etc, their phones come with SIMs already in the phones. The ICCID is on the box. The clerk scans both the MEID and ICCID before they open the box.

[Step-by-step] How to install eXistenz ROM on your Z2

Okay. So, this is for Xperia Z2 MM .291 only. If you have a rooted device then follow the steps but if you dont have root and recovery on your phone then first get rooted from here :- ROOT

Now, for installing eXistenZ Rom follow these steps :-

1. Download eXistenZ v5.0.1 from here and the latest update (which is v5.6.5 for now. Check for updates here) From here -> Latest Update <-

You dont need to have all the updates because all the features of previous updates will be included in the newer updates.

2.After downloading these two files download Bootloop fix(from here) and baseband patch for z2 (from here)

3. After Downloading these 4 files, place them in your SD card.

4. Now go to Recovery. select install and then select Existenz v 5.0.1 (the first file we downloaded). after that install again and the latest update i.e v5.6.5 (the second file we downloaded). And now reboot your device.

5. wait for 10 mins. There is a fair chance you'll get a bootloop i.e your phone will be stucked on xperia screen. THen force shut down your phone ( force shut down by pressing a little button which is on the left hand side of sim tray for 3 secs. ) and go to recovery AND flash bootloop fix (the third file we downloaded). and reboot your device.

6. the first boot may take time but this will work. but now you will notice that you wont have any signal. so for that do to recovery again and flash baseband patch (the fourth file we downloaded). and just reboot.

7. enjoy. you have working eXistenZ rom on your phone.

Please Ask If you have any query.

P.S.: NONE OF THEM IS MY WORK. I'M JUST SHARING THIS METHOS FOR THOSE PEOPLE FACING PROBLEMS INSTALLING THE EXISTENZ ROM.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimoweantemo:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH

i did every thing like u said but i did factory reset before i flash the rom first and didn't flash bootloop fix i waited like 7 8 min then it started normally like enter my info wifi etc but when i turn it off so i can flash the patch it took a long time

like 10 min and i keep pressing power button till it close its just the first time so

do i need to flash the bootloop fix or no need for that

so thank you again :)

can u suggest some app i should install it after i rooted my phone and what its use ;)

and i bought a new sd card 32 gb uhs-1 can u tell me how to move games and apps into sd card not internal storage :confused:
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bewildered Wolf:
whenever you have bootloop on your device on this rom flash the bootloop fix

and whenever no signals flash the baseband patch.

and yes when you flash the baseband patch, it takes time to boot like 10-15mins.

so now you are rooted.

install xposed installer and then the android-n-ify to get nougat like notifications.

greenify for more battery.

and enjoy.

if you want an app for somthing specific ask me.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimoweantemo:
ok thanks i installed them

now please what about install/move apps to sd card

i rooted so i can install big games like asphalt modern combat on sd card

[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] deamon1311:
ok several questions.

1: is there a one click pc based root tool that can be used?(even the less than trust worthy kingoroot if it works.)

2: can i boot(not flash) twrp and push the superSU files.

4: is they any hope of boot loader unlock?(for example reviving the old moto g keygen project.)

moto g keygen link from the xda forum.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2631686

these questions are important to all the amazon moto g4 owners not just me.

on a side note after speaking with motorola support they seem to belive my amazon moto g4 is a verizon device.

on a side note the fact that amazon belives the ads to be worth $50 without a unlock code is a sad thing and i belive that all amazon moto g4 owners should get togather in a class action lawsuit to insure anyone who pays gets a ds removed and a bootloader unlock code!
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
Your only hope for rooting is getting the unlock code from Motorola by the normal method. If you didn't get that during the short time it was available then you won't be rooting until Amazon decides that they will let you. I'm not sure what a lawsuit would accomplish since unlocking isn't promised or guaranteed by anything that I've seen.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] deamon1311:
this device was recently bought so no unlock code.

this device will be replaced when i get my tax return with a moto g4.

i love the device but i miss the little things i am able to do when rooted.

I found that AdAway is blocking me from sending out group/MMS messages.

Does anyone know of a way to figure out which host is blocking them? I have done a fresh install of AdAway and happens just in the normal host lists.

There is a ton of lines I would have to uncheck to find out with one is actually blocking it.

So just curious if anyone knows of a way to figure out how I can fix it?

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] hachamacha:
I've not screwed around with this problem much since I don't "cast screen" aside from netflix which works (as said here). I did some screen casting from CM in the past, But::

I've experience the identical symptoms of this problem on CM13, CM14, etc, with their built in cast command. I don't know if it'll be identical or of any help, but I had to get rid of all of the /system partition based "cast" (whatever it's called in this version), from /system/apps ./priv-apps and other /system-like places..

When you are sure you've got it all gone, using root explorer or adb or whatever you prefer (of course, you have to be rooted) , then reboot, then install Google Home(chromecast) from the play store. That worked fine in the CM's. I'll see if I can dig up the correct file names & folders that apply to this version and get back to this thread if I do.

I'll be happy to be the guinea pig, so don't do this unless you want to take a chance on screwing up your phone, until I report back.

Edit 1: Of course, the 3t does it differently. They're using all /data spaces for the cast, and since I've installed "google home" I have to get rid of it first to figure out which files remain. Here is what there is right now, not that there is anything worth doing with it unless I've uninstalled Google Cast via play store:

And a log of cast from settings:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Volitron:
My cousin just got me a new S7 Edge from Shanghai/Hong Kong/Singapore, somewhere like that where he goes for holidays.. Two problems.

First.

It's not remembering the wifi password after a restart. I checked and this seems to be an issue after rooting. Checked, its not rooted

BUT

it has a "custom" firmware on it.

When the phone boots up, it says Custom with an unlocked logo on it. In download mode, it says custom instead of official. Smart Switch doesn't support this phone model. SM-G935V.

Second issue.

What is the phone model? On the box it says SM-G935F. On Smart Switch and Internal it detects it as SM-G935V. In download mode its says SM-G935A. Checked with CPU Z, its a Snapdragon 820. So, it's obviously the U.S Verizon model that I got. I tried using odin to restore firmware for SM-G935F and V, it gives me. FAIL! SHA256 is invalid. Trying the Samsung G935X_QC_Rooted_Boot.tar method gives the same error code.

In Root Checker, the bootloader is G935AUCS4API2, that's for AT&T. Display and other firmware infos that I'm not familiar with are for G935VVRU2APB5, and that's for verizon. What is this bull****?

How do I fix this? Everything works fine. Except the wifi issue and the "custom" firmware that's on it that's not updating or giving me the ability to root to fix the wifi issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MustafaBarakat:
Download Samsung info from playstore check your pda, csc, etc... Save screen shots of those as wrong things might happen later, check updato for that specific firmware, double check that firmware csc with yours, flash using odin then reroot
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Volitron:
Alright. I found this thread and this software seems to work on this shanghai phone with a At&t bootloader and a verizon model and firmware. Weird thing. Its now working. Wifi issue fixed. So now, I'll try and flash an international firmware on it to see how of it works. Will update.

Update: Found this. Installed it and it worked. No carrier bloatware or bootscreen. Great. Hopefully this will help anyone in the future with the same issue.

First Compare all specs. Then ask for the difference. And 3rd device if you want to install a custom rom or not. The G4 is near to aosp, so there's no bloatware like stock HTC which need more ram etc.
