[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] IJoxer:
The tarball should have you at a stock OF3 firmware, so it isn't corrupted if the flash was successful (which it appears to be). I'm going to have to agree that there is likely a hardware issue behind your problem.

As a final shot, you can try pulling the battery, with the battery out hold the power button for at least 30 seconds. Reinsert the battery, immediately boot into recovery, factory reset/clear cache, reboot again directly into download mode.

Now you can use my guide to flash the OF3 tarballs and get up and running.

If that doesn't work, I'd definitely lean towards hardware failure.

Good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Svyn:
Thanks Joxer,

I called ATT today before and they pointed me to Samsung, which then pointed to me a local best buy Samsung kiosk. They (Samsung) were nice and accommodating I don't fault them at all. I fault ATT for pushing the update and ruining the phone. ATT claims if its less that 35% battery it wont update, but I don't know why they don't force the phone to be plugged in to prevent low battery from occurring. Or I wish there was a log somewhere you could read to find out what happened / caused the issue.

That is the guide I used before esp the bold part. I tried it twice and everything took but it just wont boot past att splash. The first time it attempts to boot it goes from Samsung splash, to a secondary splash then direct to the att white screen which gives false hope but after 25 minutes of sitting at this screen it still does nothing. When pulling the battery it goes right back to the boot loop. I also took the device to Samsung at BB today and they successfully flashed (after waiting 1.5 hrs for a download of the software) the newest firmware to the device. Same thing goes right to att white splash screen upon initial boot after a flash and then just hangs there. I would love to know what that firmware did to the hardware on the device (maybe overheat?), because previous to that it was working perfect.

Now we have to figure out if we go get a new phone (get bent over), or attempt to send it back into Samsung direct and get it fixed which we didn't have a ton of luck before where phones that came back seemed to have more problems than when they went in (referb shuffle), or to see if we can find a used one (ebay / clist).

Thanks everyone for the help.

Edit: Called att again, talked to a rep told them the steps I took and they waived (by charging me $112 for the warranty claim, then giving credit the next month). Sending a new phone out, so hopefully this phone works and arrives in good condition. Wish I had a better resolve for other people who might have searched and found this thread, but I imagine something got damaged from the heat in the phone. Thanks again everyone for the help and time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] lordmorphous:
Glad to see you got it worked out, even if it did involve having to swap devices. I will say, I've been an AT&T customer for over 20 years and although I don't like their locked BL BS, their customer service has always been good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Svyn:
Update:

Received new (refurbished) phone from warranty claim last week. Plug battery from old S5 active into new phone and had a warm welcomed boot loop. Interesting, then dug through the box and found a new back plate and battery. Put new battery in new phone works fine. Plug new battery into old phone (boot loop continues). I would venture to bet that the battery overheated when updating, then pooched something on the charging circuitry of the old phone along with the battery. New phone is up and running so far so good. Wife has phone back so I get mine back. Thanks again for the help! :good:

Does anybody know how to change the sound for skype so that it comes through the BT headset?

As it is now it only comes out through the internal speaker/mic
[XDA Assist] ClubSpade12:
I'm not sure why, but when I try to use equalizer for music on my LG Vista, the music comes out all weird and it's annoying. Especially when I used to do this perfectly fine on my Motorola Droid X.

I'm not rooted, running android 5.1. yes I've tried different music players. I use both .flac and .mp3, most of it all 320kbps. In the best case scenario, my current music app will just not do anything when I play .mp3, and if I play .flac, the distortion returns, but if I quickly turn EQ off and back on, it actually works. But only for .flac...

I understand this is an odd and specific situation but idk where else to go. Thank you in advance.

Greetings and welcome to assist. I have searched xda and can't find anyone else having the same issue as you, it may be a software issue try installing the latest firmware for your device

[Sprint LG G4] Ariana425:
I bought a LG G4, Sprint from EBay and was planning to register it with ChitChat Mobile. It was coming back as not compatible, so I called Sprint and they told me to have the original owner request to have the phone unlocked. I couldn't get the seller to do this. I assume he was just a re-seller but the phone is not lost or stolen. It can be registered with Sprint, just can't be used with my service provider, ChitChat Mobile. So, I paid for a service to have it unlocked. When I called ChitChat Mobile to try activating it, it came back as compatible this time. We were going through the activation process but it doesn't work to Update Profile or Update PRL.

I am getting this message:"The update could not be completed. Please try again later. If your problem persists, you may need to contact Customer Service"

I've been on the phone with the customer service for two days now(we tried factory and network re-setting) and they finally decided that something is wrong with the phone.

Can somebody help me at least shed a light on what happened here? Is this phone useless now?

I really appreciate any help!

The device might be unlocked for gsm use but cdma side sprint has to to the uicc unlock Before they will let it piggyback on their towers.
[Sprint LG G4] Ariana425:
Thank you so much for your response! Yes, the phone is unlocked for gsm. I didn't know what any of this means before I started the unlock process. I thought it meant to unlock to any carrier. How is the uicc unlock done and by who? By Sprint? It's so hard to get a live person to talk there LOL and when you do, they are not very interested in helping you to unlock their phone if you're not a customer :/
[Sprint LG G4] TheMadScientist:

[Sprint LG G4] TheMadScientist:
I had the same prob with my sprint g2. Wanted it on straight talk. Had the activation kit. Did my stuff. And would never update prl. Basicly sprint wouldnt. In my opinion couldnt. Unlock it. I already had it gsm unlocked. But wouldnt work i ended up using att gsm sim for straight talk. And worked like a charm. Usally what i come to realize is if a cmda sprint phone is gsm unlocked. Never would work on sprint towers again unless the lock was reinstated. As with most lgs gsm unlock resides in carrier folder. Replacing stock folder relocks and makes sprint work again. Now i may be wrong with that assumption but just my personal expierences throught the years. Have been such. If possible i would insert a gsm sim card to veri y unlocked status and port my number to a gsm prepaid carrier. I am using cricket which bounces of att on my g4 rite now. Other than having to dl a aftermarket mms app to se d or recieve pics. Almost works better than sprints
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ahlok_hk:
This is a simple method to restore your v20 to stock, I have tried with my bricked H990DS with wrong bootloader flashed.

1. Download .kdz file for your v20 model from the following links. Currently v20 models available are:

F800K, F800L, F800S, H915, H918TN, H990, VS995, H990N and H990DS

H990DS https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h990ds-firmwares/firmwares/

H990N https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h990n-firmwares/firmwares/

https://lg-firmwares.com/

2. Search, download and install LGUP ( LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3.msi ) and a file called LGUP_common.dll

2a. Copy the LGUP_common.dll to C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\common (May need to modify folder access right)

3. Search, download and install LG Driver ( LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.1.1.exe )

4. Completely Power off the v20 ( or to remove and put the battery back )

5. Plug the USB end of sync cable to your PC

6. Press and hold "Volume Up"

7. Plug in the USB-C end of sync cable to the v20. The phone will enter download mode (or Firmware Update). Now you can release the "Volume Up".

8. Run LGUP. The program will regconise the v20.

9. At the file path, click "..." and chose the .kdz file

10.Choose "UPGRADE"

11.Click "Start" and wait until the process is complete.

Now we have a safe method of restoring bricked v20. Hope developers can start trying to root without worrying of bricking the phone. :)

This method is verified on my H990DS. If anybody successfully flash using this method please let us know. Thanks!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] funkeywoookey:
Great thread! Just want to add a quick PSA for this:

This may update your phone to the latest firmware which may patchs the current recowvery exploit. While this will unbrick your phone, you should make sure that you have the a firmware below 10i (w/o patch) to flash. If you still have access to TWRP and don't have a 10d firmware for your device, use this instead.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ahlok_hk:
Thanks for the reminder. Actually it depends on what .kdz is available. For H990DS there is actually v10b firmware for download. So after I flash using this method the dirtycow exploit is still there. Take a look at the filename of the .kdz (e.g. 990ds10b_00_OPEN_TW_DS_OP_1125.kdz is v10b released at Nov 25) Seems that versions below v10i are still ok for dirtycow.

Darn. Got my hopes up. No VS995 in the list. No T-Mobile and no Sprint either. I don't need it....yet...but I would love to have a restore method for my VS995.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] 881jz:
are you using uppercut for the model .dll in LGUP?

i have tried this method a few times over the last week, no luck. but i was pretty rough with my phone to be honest, no backup and tried all the other v20 variant roms.

right now LGUP detects my phone as a US99610D so will not flash the H990DS firmware, tried to edit the kdz in hex editor for name value but it detects the kdz as corrupt now. any experience with this?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ahlok_hk:
I did not use uppercut because anti-virus reported it detect trojan when I use the program.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] 881jz:
so you found a v20 dll file? do you mind posting a link? or how did you get past LGUP picking up v20 as unknown device? or was this not an issue for you?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ahlok_hk:
The LGUP first did not detect the device and asked for driver. So I installed the driver as mentioned in OP. After that i was able to flash the phone with the kdz file.

If this method worked for you & a few other users, it should probably become a sticky rather than closing the thread...

Unbricking a device & restoring to 100% stock is an important feature to most, so if a few users are having issues we should probably help sort out those issues rather than abandoning the thread...

Spider Monkey you are not alone.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] 881jz:
don't close it off, if it worked for you it should work for others that haven't broken the phone quite as much as me (boot, recovery, aboot and system changed).

the dll looks to be a requirement, perhaps uppercut worked for you prior to you AV killing it. i used it despite the AV alert.

so that part works fine, my phone is detected as version US99610d (files used during root attempt) which prevents me running the KDZ with "Error: KDZ file is invalid. US996 -> H990"

i tried to edit KDZ file to change version from H990 to US996 but this just corrupted the file.

i edited the model in build.prop of a rom and flashed it but it failed to make a difference to LGUP.

in a last ditch effort i restored aboot.img but phone is still detected as 996 instead of 990. but now no more twrp or unlocked bootloader.

any idea what LGUP reads the version info from or how to force it to run a KDZ from a different model?

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] mmmmmmmma:
I'm going to assume you mean "to have a backup in case something goes wrong with the rooting process". And if that's the case, if you can not have a kdz for your model, you're just going to have to take the risk if you want to have the awesomeness of having root.

Trust me, LS997 does not have any way to return to stock either. Did I take a risk and root it, you bet! Do I regret it, not at all. You will have to do a lot of reading around here, though. There's an enormous knowledge base and also amazing people who are eager to help.
