[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] EjđiSixo:
I remember being frustrated about never-unlockable bootloader while using safestrap at same tame and then realised, hey wait! What do I need unlocked bootloader anyway , everything works perfect and functionality is even better than on most modded phones (at the time).

Having something like this on droid turbo would make it a perfect phone in my opinion, and for years to come.. Wonder whats the dev's view on droid turbo on that..

Anyway I was playing a little, all within "safe zones" regarding the downgrading . With litlle modding I could flash bootloader.img from QUARK_VERIZON_5.1_SU4TL-49_cid2_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip and most of partitions related to bootloader I collected from various locations,all from SU4TL but it's obviously not important..

So basically what I can't flash to downgrade is :

gpt.bin

boot.img

system files (system,img_sparsechunk.0 , 1 , 2 etc).. I will investigate more.

Started finally actually using phone , all bloatware can be disabled, so it's actually pretty ok for now. Phone feels awesome ..

Hi All, i am having verizon model 935v and i have flashed 935U successfully. I am using my mobile in india with Jio but my mobile doesn't supporting Volte because it doesnot have indian csc. I have verified csc using phone info app and can only see usa csc codes. My phone doesnot show any options to toggle volte wiyh jio sim but when i insert any us or verizon sim, it reboots and shows volte in settings or dialer app.

So i have decided to flash 935U firmware again but flashing 935F csc(indian) in odin and flashed it but this soft bricked my phone. I again re flashed and 935U and phone is working.

My biggest question to all of you is " Can i chnage the CSC to indian(INS) in 935U by changing manually with root explorer (will root my mobile) so it should work with Jio Volte??'

(I have seen lag with 935U with root, another issue however)

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woldranger:
Hi there,

My Note 4 started playing up 3 weeks ago, it started to lag, freeze and reboot. I managed to bring it back to function as my daily driver (handy as I didn't have another phone!) with the Wake Lock app. Sometimes when I'd try to boot it up, it would be glitchy and it would take a while to fire up again, most often I'd have to boot into TWRP and wipe the cache, but then it would be fine. The wake lock app was set to auto run and all was good, apart from a major hit in battery life.

Today I started to set up my replacement N910F (bought used). It too was running stock MM, I'd rooted this one too and installed xposed. All was going well until I went to remove the sd card from the first phone. When I went to reboot.....nothing.

I tried to remove the battery and hold down the power button and then try again. Nothing. Tried holding down the power button for a few minutes with the battery removed and then trying again. Nothing. I even tried holding it down for a couple of minutes, putting the battery in for 10 mins and then trying to power it up. Nothing.

It doesn't show up on my PC or with Odin. Nothing happens when I plug it into the charger. I've tried 3 different batteries. All with the same end result. Nothing. :crying:

Is there ANYTHING I can do?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trex888:
Could be battery is dead or your device is hard bricked.

You might wanna see link below to unbrick method

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woldranger:
It's not the battery as I've tried the 3 that were working with the phone originally, and I've just tried the one form the "new" phone.

After looking through the link, that doesn't look like an option - the phone needs to be detected by the pc. Mine was connecting fine earlier, so I know it's not a lack of drivers. I makes a noise when plugged in, but then isn't shown.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yashthemw:
It should be detected in device manager under ports section.

If the pc makes a sound when the device is connected, that means the device is fine. You can try the debrick method given on my thread.

Try it and report.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crash1k:
Dear community,

I unlocked my SGS3 for all carriers through a nearby shop one year ago. He told me I have two options: Either a much more expensive IMEI Unlock, or a much cheaper Software-Based SIM Unlock. There seemed to be no downsides to the Software Method, even though the guy there told me that I should not flash any new roms since that would destroy the Software Unlock (but resetting the Phone would be no problem).

As of lately, I have been looking into several new ROMs which look very nice, and I would like to flash them...but I am afraid that it would brick the SIM Unlock. Now here is my question: Is there any way to find out what that guy actually did to my Phone? And secondly: Since the S3 is already VERY old, is there a possibolity to unlock its IMEI? Or any other SIM Unlock Method which I could apply myself?

Btw: My carrier is "3" (Hutchison), Austria.

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
The s3 can be unlocked via code as long as the unlocker can access the unlocking code database.

Usually, unlocking the s3 via code or software is permanent. I have unlocked s3 i747m phones, using a secret dialler menu and code, none of which have relocked after flashing stock or custom roms.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crash1k:
Thanks for your help!

So, should I just go for it and try it out? Maybe it will stay as it is but I am not sure...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Has the phone EVER seen a 4.3 rom?. If NOT, you CAN do the nvram unlock method. Out of 1-10 on difficulty its about a 6. You MUST BE VERY CAREFULL!.

The fact it was done software tells me that it would have been a galaxsim unlock which "should" be permanent.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crash1k:
Yes, as far as I know, it had a 4.3 Stock Rom at some point, but I installed the official 4.4.4 Stock Rom later on. Thats why I want to switch to another ROM, hoping that the performance increases.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
There was no official 4.4.4 for the i9300. It stopped at 4.3 but seeing as you know it had 4.3 the only way to unlock the simlock is to pay for it.

I doubt you'll brick the device as there is always odin. The i9300 is quite resilient and in most software cockups flashing back to stock with odin will fix it to the point of a "working" device.

If it was me I'd risk it and odin if it goes wrong so make sure you have a usable stock rom before you start.

IF it does relock your phone you can pay about £10 - £20 (gbp) to have it permanently unlocked for any network and it should be unlocked while-u-wait, taking approximately 5 minutes.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crash1k:
Thanks!

One guy already tried to unlock it using the IMEI-Unlock method, but he did not manage to open the menu where he can enter the IMEI-Unlock code - even after inserting a SIM-Card from another carriert, there came no option where you can enter the Unlock Code. IF the device is locked again after I flash a new ROM, I hope that it can be at least unlocked once and for all by the IMEI-Unlock method...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Did you try flashing the stock 4.3 ROM from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9300/ in order to enter the unlock code?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crash1k:
Thank you for your kind help, but there was no need for that. I actually flashed a new ROM and the SIM Unlock is still there! Very very nice!

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riahc3:
Im currently on stock 6.x but my phone is getting pretty full and bugs out sometimes so I think its about time I do a fresh flash.

Is it possible to do a nandroid backup to a NAS server? A 64GB nandroid backup to a already full phone is kind of hard.

Next, I can either go 6.x or 7.x

7's notification style and doze battery life optimizations seems nice. Automatic system updates using another partition also seem good but I imagine that can only be used on Pixel.

6.x I imagine though is more stable.

So which ROM?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I personally like Android nougat more than M. Also, i find it stable enough for daily driver. I have been switching between various Nougat ROMs to find out which i like more. I am finally settled with Cm 14.1 nightlies for now.

Official Nightly vs Jcaap vs Resurrection Remix, which is the best?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] critofur:
Thank you for threads like this - you can't ask in a particular ROM's thread about other ROMs... I tried the "unofficial" (CAF) 7.1.1 Ressurection Remix and I've had problems with the screen going black, doesn't mean anyone else will. So, I'm also looking for which 7.1.1 ROM to try next and want other's opinions because I just don't have time to try ALL of them myself, full wipe, install all the apps and data again, setup everything... For a day or two then on to the next over and over, but I do try to try at least a few.

The ONLY reason why I don't want 7.1.1 for certain right now is no Xposed for it yet. But, perhaps I can live without Xposed for a while as long as I have: root, adblock, privacy guard, profiles...

I'm thinking to try the "Official" 7.1.1 Resurrection Remix next? Opinions?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GXGOW:
I recommend jgcaap's CM14.1. It's been very fast and stable with good battery life for me. He's also busy implementing Sultan's camera blobs, so camera quality is also going to be nice. Try it out for yourself, you won't regret it!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShouriX:
Which nougat ROM has the best battery life and the smartbar/fling navbar features?

I'm not giving up Xposed without that navbar LOL
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riahc3:
Oh, didn't remember that Xposed isn't avalaible for 7.x yet.

Forget it. 6.x based ROMs then.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I'm having issues finding the ROM that works best for me too. I've had to resort to cm ROMs because I can't find an aosp based MM ROM that has the latest security patches. There's so few of them too :(. I'm currently on jgcaaps cm13 running lightning caf v50 color. Its pretty stable, but I can't for the life of me figure out why the darn thing bootloops immediately after setting selinux to enforcing. I've always set it to enforcing for security reasons in the past, and had no issues. Jgcaaps cm13 I think has the best camera hal of all the ROMs because its using color os. Not caf, sultan, or cyanogenmod (I don't even know how people consider cm hal usable).

For 7.1.1 I've tried some of the ROMs but they're missing way too many features IMO. The camera hal is one (most are using cm or caf, meh) the only 7.1.1 ROM I know of that possibly has color os hal is jgcaaps cm14. Another thing is xposed. I don't like to give google full permission over my entire system to record and do as they please, therefore I use microg. The only thing is to get micro g working, you need to have a ROM that either supports fake signatures in the developer options (ROM maintainer has to implement this, its not too hard) or an xposed module to force fake signatures. I haven't come across a single ROM here that has micro g support so I'm forced to use xposed. On top of that I use the xprivacy xposed module which is miles better at protecting your privacy than privacy guard or appops.

So yeah personally I think jgcaaps cm13 ROM is the best we have right now for MM roms. All the other MM ROMs haven't been updated with security patches in quite a while from my experience. If you don't use micro g or xposed then I would recommend jgcaaps cm14 for the color os hal, but I havent checked out his ROM in a while. I wish there was still some development on MM for our oneplus one because it seems I'm stuck between choosing discontinued MM ROMs for features + stability or actively maintained ROM with bugs + less features. I've been working on finding out how to merge security patches in to discontinued ROMs because of this. But I don't have much time in my life right now sadly.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaurabhMumbaiOneS:
danieldmm's TugaPower ROM has microG support out of the box and there's no need to install it as a system app. HAL is still CM but it is updated very frequently (I think it supports delta OTA updates) and has latest security patches too. Had absolutely no bugs for me when I used it last time :good:

[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dMaN24:
I've had some problems with my phone. My first phone ended up getting bricked 2 weeks after i bought it.

I was lucky enough to get it replaced by the store. After that i was careful with unlocking the bootloader and rooting.

I had some issues with the rooting (i have posted this in other threads already, so i won't bring that up again) ending up with having to flash a stock version of 574 from a page with roms available.

I was happy to see that the phone was again working. But ever since i flashed the stock rom, things are becoming very strange.

I'm unable to flash TWRP. The only way to access Fastboot is by first connecting the phone to the computer. And then hold vol down and power.

I am able to access Huawei eRecovery (but only by doing like with Fastpass using the computer).

I'm not allowed to update eRecovery or run recovery from eRecovery.

If something require a reboot, i need to use the cable, fastboot, vol+ into eRecovery and then select reboot.

Today i was prompted to upgrade from 574 to 584 (OTA) and the download and installation begins normally.

Only to end up having to... you guessed it:

cable+fastboot+eRecovery.

And the update fails.

The phone is working great apart from these issues. And i do not know why.

And this is why it feels like it is in some Twilight Zone. Or Hybrid-mode. Bootloader is unlocked. Firmware is stock.

But i always need to use the cable to start the phone.

Does anyone have a clue what is going on?

[LG V20 Accessories] HDatXDA:
The other day I while taking photos from a balcony I was struck with a fear of dropping my phone. I'm looking to attach a wrist strap or lanyard to my LG V20 with my Incipio NGP case.

I tried looping a Ringke Paracord Wrist Strap through the charging and speaker openings of the Incipio case but that doesn't work as it creates unusual distortion in the fit of the case.

So I'm not sure what to try next. I've located a Canadian company that makes a product called Petite Loop at phoneloops.com.

It is a simple nylon strip, with a wrist loop, which sticks to the back of the phone with a reattachable non residue leaving adhesive. The adhesive supposedly acts along with the phone case to secure the wrist loop. Has anyone tried the Petite Loop? Actually, I'm open to any suggestions.

[LG V20 Accessories] sanjsrik:
So, a $700 device, you're going to have dangling from your wrist? Not as though it will bang around on something and possibly break.
[LG V20 Accessories] partylikeaninjastar:
You don't understand why someone would want a wrist strap. Nobody is going to keep it strapped to their wrist all day dangling. Don't you know how uncomfortable it would be?

With OEM's caring more about being able to call a phone "premium" than they care about making sure that "premium" phone stays in your hand rather than easily slipping out, a wrist strap would be a super useful accessory. You'd only slide your wrist through when you're actually holding and using your phone. You wouldn't keep it attached all day, which would just cause your phone to get in the way of everything.

---------- Post added at 08:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 AM ----------

So, yeah, I'd not want to accidentally drop a $700 device because the majority of people are obsessed with metal phones that are slippery than lube.

Moto is definitely my next purchase. Their phones have grip.
[LG V20 Accessories] sanjsrik:
I just don't walk around with it in my hand like I see so many people doing. No, honestly, I didn't see the point of the lanyard. 99% of the people I see on the streets here in Manhattan are walking around with their devices IN their hands at ALL times. That's what I was picturing. People with their phones IN their hands 24/7. I don't get it. This was an exchange I had with a colleague recently:

HIM: (Showing me his newly replaced screen on his phone): I just had the screen replaced for the fourth time.

ME: (Showing him my phone with the original uncracked screen): I'm just careful.
[LG V20 Accessories] partylikeaninjastar:
Honestly, dude, if we could just get a grippy back, these problems wouldn't happen and a wrist strap wouldn't be on anyone's mind. ??

I don't get the point of using "premium" materials when it makes the phone so slippery that you're forced to cover it with cheap, rubbery plastic.
[LG V20 Accessories] planetbeen:
I use a flygrip. It really comes in handy for those of us with our phones in our hands all the time.

It's also nice for something like reaching out a car window to take a picture while riding in the car... (not while driving!)

Only negative is that they're pricy.
