Vizio's online chat support to the rescue. I told them what the issue was, what all I tried, she had me verify that I had already done what they suggest (basically get into recovery and such), and told me to send them a copy of my receipt and I'd get a free brand new one, or they could send me a refurbished one without it.

Here's the instructions she gave me.

Please try the following steps:

1. Power the tablet off. While the tablet is off press and hold the Volume Down and Power keys at the same time.

2. The tablet will vibrate and the V logo screen will pop up. Let go of the POWER and VOL DOWN key when the tablet VIBRATES.

3. The tablet will show a picture of the Android mascot laying on the ground with the text 'No Command'.

4. Press and hold the Power key and tap Volume Up key. (One you've tapped the volume up key you can release the power key).

5. Use the Volume Up and Down keys to navigate the options, and the Power Key as an 'OK' button to select options.

6. Navigate down to Wipe Data/ Factory Reset, and press the Power key.

7. Text will appear in the bottom the screen indicating the tablet is resetting.

8. The Android Recovery options will appear again. Use the Vol Keys to navigate to 'Reboot System Now' and press the power button to confirm.

Note: After the reset it may hang on the V logo screen for 5+ minutes before initiating the rest process.

And after the hair and saliva samples to verify you're really a human and not something from Nibiru, you were able to get into recovery and get it working right?!

Crazy, ive had at least 15 different android devices, and never ever needed to go through a military-style agility course to get into recovery.

Does anyone know if anyone has a factory image that can be flashed? I think mine has bad firmware so resets don't do anything to fix it.

When I turn ON my LG G2 (D802) unpredictable some times

- works perfectly

- sticks on LG Logo for hours

- sticks on LG logo for hours with blinking green and light blue led (some time with hot battery)

what do you suggest? Could be an hardware problem?

Everything starts after replacing battery, then I upgraded to lollipop (though official lg windows software) and root phone (through LG root script). After 3 or 4 weeks, it suddenly begin to have that issues.

The problem is that when it works I can do everything (I also re-install stock rom), but some hours works, some hours didn't. I can’t understand when/where the problem happens
[Xposed General] chaitra26:
hi all, i made an xda account because i really cant understand whats going on with my phone

HTC One M8 running Android 6.0 (rooted)

so after rooting my phone, i proceeded to install xposed.

i flashed the zip - no problem

i installed the apk, and after choosing 4/5 modules that i wanted, i went ahead and enabled them all and rebooted to activate them.

this is where the problems started. my phone booted, however it kept on flashing a screen with the deafult One M8 wallpaper at me. after a few seconds, it came up with an error "com.android.systemui has stopped" :eek: :confused:

not sure what was going on, i went to twrp and directly restored my nandroid backup, but after waiting for 15 mins, i realised my phone was in bootloop, so i went back to twrp and did a factory reset and restored my nandroid. but again, it went into bootloop. i tried factory resetting and restoring 3 times before giving up.

my phone isnt connecting to my laptop anymore either, but if i need to flash anything i can do it with my sd card.

im not a complete noob but im still learning and ive never not been able to restore my nandroid.

thanks in advance for any help i can get :)
[Xposed General] Sachin:
*. Flash xposed uninstaller zip and try booting your device. Link here - http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/uninstaller/

-->> use this» make a full wipe from recovery, then restore nandroid backup.

*.While restoring nand. from recovery, make a full wipe like wipe system etc.. Then restore your nand. Then you're good to go.
[Xposed General] chaitra26:
thanks a ton for your reply :)

i already tried flashing the uninstaller - didnt work :(

but ill try your second method. thanks once again
[Xposed General] Sachin:
Hey, the 1st one won't works, Cuz you'd already did a factory data reset, so that's gonna be won't work. And you'd tried restoring nandroid over that, so that's failed.

I hope second one will works. :D
[Xposed General] chaitra26:
Um i think i seriously screwed up - i deleted everything including system and data and stuff - but now my nandroid is gone :(:(:(:(

what can i do now i dont even have a nandroid!

oh my god my phone doesnt have an os anymore... what have i done wrong?????
[Xposed General] Sachin:
Deym!!

So, look at the One m8 forums, you'll get the workarounds.

I've found one here - https://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/he...k-twrp-t3086860?_e_pi_=7,PAGE_ID10,5801529172

[MENTION=7982348]chaitra26[/MENTION], either DL any custom ROMs and flash it via custom recovery [Twrp].

Look here for custom ROMs - https://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/development?

Regarding that '' no OS installed'' error, that's common when you try to reboot your device from twrp without installing any system images /ROMs.

FYI - when you full wipe your device and tries to power up you'll get the same warning.

I ended up going with h20 wireless so I didn't have to unlock. So glad I picked this phone up because man its beautiful but hopefully I don't keep hopelessly reading the forum looking for a bootloader unlock for months on end like I did with my Verizon s4 and s5. Hopefully at&t won't keep us locked down forever
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Sass86:
Hahaha good one. I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you, AT&T isn't know for its cooperation with developing communities. As long as the phones are branded, they stay locked. They also don't provide advanced features for non branded phones (WiFi calling, VoLTE, etc.).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Sass86:
See if [MENTION=3332811]faux123[/MENTION] will improve the eng kernel, that would help greatly. I think that kernel is the only reason why we have root. So the problem is kernel stability, not ROM selection.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] brd912:
I went with an AT&T prepaid service so I didn't need to unlock but I'm having problems. I'm on the echo rom and I initially configured the phone with H20 apn settings and the service provider in the status bar said H20. Upon a reboot I can no longer access apn settings without a 3rd party app and my service provider in the status bar says at&t and sms no longer works. I can access apn settings through a 3rd party app after reboot and reset apns to default, pull sim, reboot and replace sim and re enter the H20 apn to get it working but it's getting pretty aggravating being I'm in the middle of modding what little I can so I'm rebooting several times a day.

Did each phone require it to me paid off?

If the phone keeps getting paid off in installment plans and I just wanted to use a different service, can I still unlock it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Omar04:
Yes successfully unlocked Wife S7 Edge and my S7 via unlock unit site, both under contract, have only like 30 days with them and not paid off yet and got code in less than 10 min for both. On that site you have different options on prices cheaper ($18-$29) you have to wait like 3-4 days and more expensive,($41) in mins. I went for the expensive one I don't like to wait. ?

A friend from AT&T told me new phones have to be at least to be 30 days activated for systems to generate unlock codes for 3rd party sites to access.

iPhone 7 locked to AT&T

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I purchased a used iPhone 7 and it seems like there was a balance on AT&T. It works fine on AT&T but I want to use it overseas in the next few weeks, and the only solution seems to pay someone on ebay $100 to remove the network lock. I tried a seller who charged $20 but it never worked. Does anyone know how these people do it? please pm me if you have any idea$ Thank you!

Hello again Kaiser Funsters, I've done a quick sweep of XDA-Dev and strangely I cant find a thread about this yet, however I have found a group that is offereing the much improved opera Mini experience via a russian mod.

except they've ported it into English!!

they haven't ported the new 206 version yet but you'll be impressed with the improvements they've mede with the standard Mini Opera Jar.

take a look

I took the plunge and tried it :). Not the smartest security risk - BUT I don't have any real data on the phone and I can always re-flash. Its a pretty interesting update. Once you install files from the links above, the newly installed Opera mini has built in links to the developers site that has FAQ's, instructions, basically full documentation - BUT its mostly in russian. I don't speak russian sooo... I can't help with the details. Basically, file downloading is MUCH improved (more like firefox for the PC), linking is better.. lots of cool stuff.

For me, the package by Shlomki remains the biggest breakthrough in making Opera Mini easier to use...having Opera Mini as a shortcut in the \Programs folder just has to take the cake!

Default CABs Ready!!!

I made 3 cabs for easy installation of this hack.

What it does:

1. Installs MortScript (Default to Internal Memory, because of links and shortcuts)

2. Installs script to Windows dir and imports Reg values (to be independant of MortScript folder)

3. Creates a shortcut for OperaMini in the programs folder!

These CABs are for ARM processors and for Pocket PC only - not smartphones.

All you need to do is install.

What is BTU firmware? and should I do it to my phone? Will it mess up my carrier?

I'm on EE (United Kingdom Carrier) and flashed this via odin (https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/116719/G930FXXU1BPLJ_G930FEVR1BPK5_EVR/) I didn't use HOME_CSC. I used the normal CSC. Is this what caused VoLTE active on my phone? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] decker39:
BTU is the unbranded firmware, EVR is the EE branded firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] woodmj:
VoLTE is active in that EVR (EE) firmware.

I did have XEU (seems to be a Samsung generic build CWH put on their phones) on my EE contract phone from CWH that didn't have VoLTE and I wanted it so I flashed my phone with that EVR build to get it.

I assume BTU (Samsung generic) won't have it either until Nougat where the carrier will be able to remotely send it's configs to phones regardless of build variation.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeffsga88:
This guide will fix the issue of the wifi MAC address changing on every reboot that multiple people were having. I've tested this on T-Mobile, although it should work on the h850 as well. I've seen multiple people posting about this issue and I had the issue as well, do I decided to figure out how to fix it and wanted to share.

Step 1) Use root browser and go-to /data/misc/wifi/ folder.

Step 2) If you have a folder called config, delete it (it needs to be a file not a folder)

Step 3) Using a root browser go-to root of your sdcard (internal storage) and create a file called config (no extension), or use file I attached.

Step 4) Open the new file and put the following:

cur_etheraddr=5c:00:00:00:00:00

This will be your MAC address, change it to what you want your MAC address to be and save the file. If you downloaded attached file, put in root of your sdcard, open it and edit MAC address to what you want and save it without any file extension, I had to put as .Txt to upload it, just make sure to change to no file extension or it won't work.

Step 5) Open a terminal emulator (install one if you don't have one already) and run the following command:

su -c "cat /sdcard/config > /data/misc/wifi/config"

(and no you can't just copy the file to that location, it won't write)

Step 6) Reboot

This will give you a set MAC address even after reboot. Again fully tested on T-Mobile h830, but should work on h850 as well.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nimueh:
Nice guide, thank you :)

Once I figured out that the " at the end wasn't purely decorative (roughly 6 reboots later :laugh: ) I got it to work :highfive:

Now the MAC remains the same, but that stupid phone still refuses to use the IP my router is set to assign to it (192.168.1.199), it insists on using 192.168.1.100 unless I set a static IP in the phone's advanced wifi/router settings. I never had that problem with my S4 so I'm stumped ... I don't suppose you (or someone else) has any ideas how to fix that :confused:
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeffsga88:
Happy it worked for you. Maybe I should put copy and paste exactly :p But as far as the other issue not sure, it should use whatever you set it to from router. Maybe later today I'll get a chance to do some testing and see if I can figure it out.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nimueh:
All my other devices (tablet, PC, my S4 when I still had it) play nice and use the IPs assigned by my router ... the G5 is the only one that refuses unless I set a static IP in the wifi settings. It's been like that from the start (I've had it since May) and it always wants to use that silly .100 IP ... no clue why :confused:

For now I've given up and opened the ports I need on the .100 IP ... without the MAC constantly changing that works at least. But yea, if you find a solution I wouldn't mind trying it :)

Thanks again for the MAC fix :good: :cool:
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] autoprime:
for all the people who have the MAC changing issue.. have you wiped your misc partition at some point?

these symptoms sound like what happens after misc is wiped.. and why wiping misc should only be wiped as a last resort.

tho if you are also running into this without ever wiping misc.. very interesting...
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeffsga88:
It happens after formatting data partition on TWRP to remove encryption. Also when I clean flash Roms I always wipe everything as well as format data partition, so probably why as I'm sure that wipes misc partition (although I would think it wouldn't). I just did a clean install of RR wiping and then formatting data in TWRP and have changing MAC address again (have to re run steps above to fix). So why I'm thinking it has to do with formatting.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nimueh:
If Misc gets wiped when installing custom roms then yes. My MAC has changed ... idk, I'm pretty sure from day 1 which means I tend to agree with [MENTION=7188028]jeffsga88[/MENTION] that it happens when you format data after flashing TWRP :)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] autoprime:
misc would only get wiped if you manually did it. a lot of people zero the misc after flashing the H830 custom TOT w/TWRP.

shouldn't get wiped from installing a rom or anything.

if you never did that, misc should be fine and I guess it's formatting /data as mentioned above.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dbs179:
I can't remember if I wiped misc or not, so I can't confirm or deny that I did or didn't, but it is entirely possible. At any rate, the solution fixed it for me. I was able to find my actual MAC address and set it in the config file. Now my router assigns the IP I want it to and the MAC doesn't change after reboot. Thanks for the instructions jeffsga88!!!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeffsga88:
It appears to be from formatting data to remove encryption. After doing this to fix it and then going in TWRP and formatting (not wiping) data I had same issue and had to redo fix. So just remember, if you format data in TWRP after doing this fix, you will need to redo the fix again. Just wiping and installing new ROM, the fix will stick.

[MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION]

Would the following command wipe the misc partition (I believe it does):

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/624000.ufshc/by-name/misc

If so then that would explain things. This was one of the commands that we had to use if we got TWRP boot loop after flashing 10d rooted tot. That would explain why it started happening after rooting phone using 10D rooted tot. But then after using my fix and going into TWRP and formatting data (not wiping), why is it wiping misc again?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nimueh:
How did you find your actual MAC address? I simply used the one that was shown at the time :confused:
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeffsga88:
Okay so that fix doesn't work for me, maybe due to already having a wiped misc partition? When opening the misc partition I pulled, both the 6000 and 8000 offset are blank, my guess from wiping it back when I rooted to get out of twrp boot loop. I tried adding the MAC address to both of those locations and I still have a changing MAC every boot (unless I use my temp fix). Not sure if there's a way to restore the misc partition or maybe get a copy from another device (although not sure that's a good idea or not, or does kdz restore misc partition?). Or could it possibly be at a different address? Also, yeah I forgot my fix was a temp fix to the data partition :p lol.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeffsga88:
If you happen to have router logs from before this became an issue or if you had already previously set up MAC address filtering on your router for your G5, you would have the actual MAC address, otherwise don't think you'll find it without maybe taking apart the phone :p (that's if it's even printed on the board). Either way it shouldn't matter much as long as it's sticking between reboots.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nimueh:
Yea, I don't have router logs or old filters going back to last May, so I'm sol :laugh:

I just figured there was some cool "press 14 buttons on the phone"-way to get the correct MAC or something ... I'll just stick with the one I have now :cool:

Oh and I flashed the RR Nougat rom yesterday ... now the phone insists on using the .104 IP and no longer the .100 it was so fond of on MM. I still can't get it do use the one the router wants to assign, guess I'll give up on that. No idea what LG did to this phone, neither the MAC addy nor the IP issue was one I ever had before on Samsung :rolleyes:

Your MAC fix works on M and N btw, so thanks again :) :good:
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeffsga88:
Yeah it appears that anyone on t mobile that got stuck in TWRP boot loop when trying to get root and then followed the steps in the 10D rooted tot section for getting out of boot loop ended up with this issue. One of the commands was wiping the whole misc partition, which wiped the MAC address and created the issue. Like autoprime said earlier, to get out of TWRP boot loop, shouldn't wipe whole misc partition. Maybe when wiping misc it also messed up something with proper IP addressing. Oh well, what's done is done, but at least we have a temp fix.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nimueh:
I'm neither on T-Mobile (I have the unlocked EU version) nor did I ever get stuck in TWRP or wipe the misc partition. In my case it must have happened when I formatted Data after rooting + flashing TWRP.

The temp fix is great indeed ... if you remember to re-do it after flashing a new rom :laugh:

Can we "paste" a command into Terminal Emulator? If so I'll probably put that whole command into a .txt file for easy copy/pasting in the future :angel:
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeffsga88:
I thought some people with h850 had same issue but wasn't sure, good to know fix works for both the h850 and h830 models. Thought it was only happening after wiping misc partition but guess not then. As far as flashing new roms it should stick as long as you don't reformat data partition, although I personally always format data partition as well for a completely clean flash (I know it's not necessary, I'm just ocd lol). Also you could paste the commands into terminal emulator or use a program like 3c toolbox and use the script editor and make it into a script, then just run the script after first flash (just make sure you save script file to ext SD). And 3c toolbox has terminal emulator which allows you to paste the command into it as well.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nimueh:
Yea I did a clean flash (coming from a Marshmallow to a Nougat rom) and when I checked my phone had picked a completely different MAC again.

I'll look into 3C and copy/pasting ... the next time I do any clean flashes. Thanks for the tip :)
