[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mnlv:
Thanks. I just did a backup in TWRP using adb.

If I receive another refurb 6p instead of what I send, Can I restore this backup to a new phone or something will not work because the data partition is encrypted?

Should I do a wipe data and system in TWRP before going to bootloader and flashing the factory image?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
I'm pretty sure you can't restore the backup from one phone to a different phone even if it's the same model. Maybe somebody knows a way to do it. You don't really need to wipe anything in TWRP if you are going to do a clean install of the factory image. The install will wipe everything.

If you have Usb debugging enabled you could also use Hisuite by Huawei. Do a google search for it as I can't post a link due to new account.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GU37:
Hello all. After trying to get various Custom ROMs working, CM 11, 13 or Slimkat 9, unofficial 9.1, no version worked properly with phone signal.. I ended up experimenting with flashing modems or going back to stock firmware and doing all the steps from there but still couldn't make it work.

Stock firmware that came with the phone 4.1.2 (KIES_HOME_I9300XXEMG4_I9300OXAEMG4_1314436_REV00_user_low_ship) was perfectly fine also (I9300XXUGPE1_I9300AMNGPF1_I9300BVUGNB2_HOME) which it's 4.3 from orange spain was fine, tried one from my country and ran fine, also 4.3. Then I found out about this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/help/guide-emergency-calls-problem-siii-i9300-t2752541 and by mistake I flashed first the patched modem following this order of events :

4.1.2 STOCK > 4.3 Movistar STOCK > Slimkat Unofficial 9.1 latest > all fine but no signal. Then:

4.1.2 STOCK > 4.3 Movistar STOCK > Slimkat Unofficial 9.1 latest > flashed patched modem from thread above, boot loop.

Then tried to flash the original stock from the phone, didn't work. Stock from my country doesn't work. Stock from spain doesn't work but it goes a bit further in the first boot going to android updating apps , it finishes updating apps and goes into boot loop. That's it. At the moment I can flash with odin or go into downloading mode. When the phone is off, it can manage to charge the battery without problem.

How should i proceed now?

Thank you, I hope you can help or advice me.

EDIT 1: I also tried to flash the firmware from the above thread, the i9300 UK (BTU) but no luck.

Glad you got it working. One thing I would not recommend is flashing a patched modem. The stock modem is the best modem in my opinion.

Hi friends, I'm testing audio FLAC on music player of our P9 . This test satisfy me, player doesn't have problems to reproduce them, but album's artworks does not appear on player. Does anyone know how to?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] shaunydub:
I have flac on my P9 and no issues but I always check and retag after I rip or download my music as in the past I had issues with art appearing fine on my PC but missing on iPods,phones etc.

I use MP3tag to do this but plenty of other programs can do it too...

I recently switched to flac and notice the tag name in mp3tag is listed as flac whereas in mp3 it is using id3.

Once tags are correct everything should work.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] syma753dfx:
Do you know how check if tags are correct? If tags are wrong how to fix them?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] shaunydub:
Download a tag program such as mp3tag or media monkey.

Plenty of programs can either auto tag for you or let you manually tag.

I did a lot manually using mp3tag because they were ripped with Windows media player over the years and artwork didn't always work.

I have one that will turn off data when Wi-Fi connected.

Create profile with a state context and name it "when Wi-Fi connected",then create action called "turn data off" . Create a wait action and set it to what time interval you want, then make another action under code and type

su;

setenforce permissive;

svc data disable;

setenforce enforcing

Check use root ,and that's it.

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Klanac89:
Nexus is dead, Pixel is nothing (just a Nexus with iPhone price) and Samsung is dead (Exynos/Knox/kernel source), so what is the best phone for LineageOS? I really don't like OnePlus anymore, because for the same price I get a S7 Edge with VR, warrenty and local support (Samsung service point). Car charger for 30 bucks, dash charger, dash cable... f... that!

For now I got a Mi Max Prime (64GB version) and a Mi5s Plus which is just like a 100$ phone compare to firmware support for a highend device (buggy firmware, no real updates, no Xiaomi support (flop)). Don't get me wrong, the hardware is genius (dualsim, 128GB, 6GB RAM, Snapdragon 821, 3800 mAh, QC and for under 400€ with import and shipping) but it feels like the first CM alpha builds from a S3 with Exynos :/

So I need to switch... I looking for a new powerful device with great ROM support, like OnePlus. The battery (SOT) is on the first position, after LineageOS support.

What you think? Switch to the old Nexus 6p, buy a OnePlus 3T (it is the last option for me) or maybe a other phone? A brand new S7 Edge I can get for 400 bucks, a Mi Note 2 for 550 but I really don't care anymore... good battery and official LineageOS is what I need for the future.

I hope you guys can help me.

I think Wileyfox will be a good choice in the near futur. Bootloader unlocking is the easiest I've ever done. They made good price, good quality product, official Cyanogenmod support (but it's over now). They don't make overpriced product like OnePlus or ****ty one like Xiaomi (7 days just to have a code to unlock the bootloader) and Xiaomi have brand new smartphone variant every week. Redmi note, redmi note prime, redmi Pro, redmi note pro.... Hard to follow.

I've bought a wileyfox Swift 2 at 189€ - 30€ = 159€ on the official website after broke my OnePlus 1 screen. I find it's better than my OP1 except for the photography and for the rom support.

I've got before a moto g (peregrine + falcon) ZTE open C, Fx0, oneplus 1, Redmi note 4 sold 2 weeks after receive it. And wileyfox is one one the best quality/price I've ever had just after the Fx0.

These bootloops have been happening quite a lot lately. Makes me worried.
[AT&T LG V10] hoang51:
I would suggest that anybody with a functioning LG V10 to do their due diligence and back up their data on the phone in case there's a catastrophic event such as the boot loop I've experienced. At least I have most of my data backed up. Just some that I disabled but now realize it's worth having.
[AT&T LG V10] anand_pv:
It happened to me too on Nov 2016. I have been told to return the phone to AT&T and get a replacement phone under warranty. I did receive a replacement V10. Now AT&T pissed me off on changing the phone contact expiry date to next year. I am on AT&T Next 12 plan. I am supposed to get a new phone on January 2017, but now I have to wait till 2018. Next time, I am buying phone myself.
[AT&T LG V10] hoang51:
A replacement phone under warranty should not extend your contract. Did you contest the contract extension? Under the warranty exchange, there's no mention of contract extension required: https://www.att.com/esupport/article.html#!/wireless/KM1044996
[AT&T LG V10] Shadow Assassin:
Its kind of best to buy the phone out right.

On AT&T Next. What ever payment plan you choose, you dont get to keep the phone until it is completely "paid off". Which pushing through the confuseing payments costs as well as additional costs, in reality your technically paying more then the phone sells for. So if you intend on keeping your next phone. Just go out and buy an unlocked version. Or get an unlocked international version.
[AT&T LG V10] johnkirchner:
Try baking it?

My wife's v10 started bootlooping about a week ago and is out of warranty. This happened right after doing a FOTA security update. I figured it was due to that so I tried resetting the phone but could not boot in to anything to get it to reset. After extensive searching and reading, I have "fixed" the phone so far. It has been booted up and running for almost 2 full days now. We are not using it at the moment, we had a spare phone so its not like we were going to be out of anything. Instead of the freezer trick (was not worried about data backup), I did the baking trick and as surprised as I was...it worked! Here is what I did if it might help anyone else.

Please note that your warranty will really be void after doing this, especially if anything gets damaged. The information here is reference only and results may vary due to altitude and baking temps (thought I would NEVER put that in a disclaimer for gadgets and software, lol). You may or may not have data loss either, so do not blame me!

You will need to take the phone apart so you will need a small precision set of screwdrivers. Check out the video from the link below to see how to disassemble the phone, you only need to get to the part where the circuit board is removed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N_mGT-P1ZA

And now...seriously,

1. Pre-heat your oven to 385 F (~195 C).

2. CAREFULLY take the circuit board out of the phone, use the video above as reference.

3. Place the circuit board in the oven and bake for 7 minutes. I set my board on a baking rack so it was not directly on a cookie sheet.

4. Take circuit board out, shut off oven and let sit for at least 20 minutes to fully cool down. Add salt for flavor? (j/k)

5. After cool down, CAREFULLY place circuit board back in and put phone back together.

6. Put battery in and let charge if needed before booting the phone up.

7. Cross fingers and turn the phone on!

We were at a point to where we did not want to file a claim if we were going to end up with the same phone possibly again and have issues so I figured I would try it out. My kids thought I was insane watching me bake a circuit board.

However, the electronics knowledge in me knows this is just enough to actually do solder reflow on the board. From the numerous posts that I have read, it appears that some of the soldering is faulty and sometimes a reflow will fix the issue. Since circuit boards are so small and intricate, it takes extremely serious skill to actually use a solder iron to fix those...so for those of us who are not extremely seriously skilled in soldering, the oven seems to work. Don't get me wrong, I can solder like no tomorrow...but not on circuit boards :p

So if you have nothing to lose...give this a shot!

I had the same problem, I'm unsecured so I take a repair where a technician and told the hay processor to re-weld it because it got off the board.
[AT&T LG V10] rickzotz:
Ten days ago, during an ordinary work morning, and without warning, my V10 entered the boot loop spiral of death. The unprompted reboots became more frequent, moving backwards from home screen, to AT&T screen, to LG screen, from where the phone eventually refused to proceed. I bought the phone during the first week of U.S availability in October 2015, so it's past warranty, of course.

I submitted a ticket at the LG website, and shipped my comatose V10 via FedEx an exact 27 miles across the DFW metroplex to the LG Service Center near Alliance Airport north of Fort Worth. The package arrived there the next day thanks to close proximity to local ground service, rather than making a fun trip to Memphis and back.

My V10 returned yesterday. I paid $72 + tax for out-of-warranty replacement of the main logic board, which we surely suspect to have failed because of the well-known factory defect that appears to have affected the V10, G4, and even the G3. $72 is still a fair price for this type of repair on a large premium smartphone. My software and settings were easy to restore after my having number moved back from my wife's old G2 to a new SIM.

Will it last? I hope so.

Hi John!

I register this forum just for the purpose saying " Thank You! You are genius"

I followed your step by step guide and brought up my LG V10 to life, which casued by the so called " boot loop" problem few days ago.

I was almost ready to send my V10 back to the LG, and requesting for the replacemnt of the internal board of my LG V10. Luckily, I read your thread, and presume that your assumption is right with logical analysis. Now my phone is working without boot problem, and I successfully bring back my data from the internal memory, too.

Thank you so much, John!

[AT&T LG V10] Shadow Assassin:
You may not have to change your passwords. Depending on what hardware is damaged they will likely trash the whole board. If any part of the chipset is fried or damaged in some way, your safe since everything is on a single chip. So if it is a hardware failure on the chip, then all your stuff thats on there is going in trash to never see light of day again.

[AT&T LG V10] Inquisitor956:
Its too bad I didn't know about this before hand. My phone just bootlooped last Saturday without warning. I contacted my carrier but I was literally 4 days over the warranty period with them. Contacted LG, and they told me they couldn't either repair or replace my phone because its an international model and they did not have the hardware for international models(no clue why they couldn't replace it, unless they stopped manufacturing this specific model). Either way, I didn't worry too much about my files as I had contacts and texts on the SD card as well as Google, and my pictures and media where stored on my SD card. However, for the latter, I didn't realize that you could only 'unlock' files with the same phone you locked them with, so they were sitting on my SD, completely useless. I also lost all my progress on Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links because apparently Konami are idiots that don't realize they can link progress to a Google account rather than going through their own service.

I just got done disassembling the device and heating it up with a heat gun. I had nothing to lose, so why the hell not? Surprisingly, its managed to remain working just fine for 2 hours now. Managed to recover my locked files, my Duel Links progress, and my Authy backup. Still, I know it will eventually happen again, and I'm still under contract for another year so I'll be forced to buy another phone and still pay for this "almost" paper weight. Here's hoping that Class-Action Lawsuit actually leads somewhere and LG deals with this fairly.

[AT&T LG V10] The.Se7enth:
Pretty sure my phone isn't in warranty anymore anyway since it's been over a year since obtaining it (sadly it's not eligible for an upgrade until January of next year, since pay-off rates are now every 2 years minimum), but I'm hesitant to try the bake method -- especially since I don't have my own oven currently, being that I'm staying with someone else's family currently due to economic situations.

With that said, I can get to the factory reset option by holding the Vol-Down + Power buttons, I just don't want to lose my data. I know for a fact USB Debugging is enabled, because I always enable that pretty much first thing when I get my Android phones, but I can't get ADB to recognize it. Windows always shows it as a "USB Charge Only Interface". I know there's a way to use ADB to backup data ("adb backup -all" should work IIRC) so I was going to try that first, then try the factory reset and see if it helps at all. Any suggestions?

If I can even get the phone to start up at all, just long enough to take it to AT&T, I can just trade it in for a new phone. Otherwise I'm stuck paying over $200 more for a phone that doesn't even work anymore anyway, just to get a new one.
