RE: US996 to T-Mobile Version

The short answer to this question is No you CAN NOT flash the T-Mobiile KDZ or ROM to your US996 phone. Although it is possible to do this with US996 to/from H910 to/from VS995(these are just those that I have actually performed the flash successfully on), even with these you stand a good chance of breaking something, and my successful attempts were done using STOCK KDZs i.e H910 to US996 and VS995 to US996 and return(the return for the former was via H915 KDZ). The reason you cant do this with the T-Mobile KDZ in EITHER DIRECTION is BECAUSE THE SIGNING KEY on the chipset used for the T-Mobile H918 and therefore on its KDZ, is unique in the LG V20 family. LG used the same keys on most/all the other variants that I am aware of EXCEPT for the H918.

So even though you can NOT flash the H918 KDZ to any of the Non H918 LG V20s, there is a possible work around for what you are wanting to accomplish. This work around, would be to extract the System image from the H918 KDZ that matches the Android version you are running on your US996, and overwrite the System partition with this System Image file. By doing this you would be adding all the configuration files, along with any T-Mobile apps and Framework files that would be needed on your US996. I have not done this before, but I do not believe there is any reason this would not work. Your other option is to reconfigure your config files found in /system/etc/ such as the featureset.xml, among dozens of other files that would need to specify that you are running a TMO profile, and then manually move over any Framework, and APK files that would be needed. The latter option would assume you are running as root, where the former could be performed either through fastboot or using LGFlash or LGUP.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MsLisbeth:
So I saw on this reddit post that there was a way to get DayDream on a Nexus 5X by editing an XML document in the system permissions folder.

I'd post the link to the Reddit Page, but XDA is being a stickler about links for new accounts...

Just search "Reddit Daydream Nexus 5x" and you should be able to find it.

I decided to try it out and what I THINK I did was screw up the formatting in the XML document and when I restarted the phone, the google app keeps crashing. I tried a factory reset, didn't fix it. Not only that, I kinda screwed myself over because the factory reset shut off the USB Debugging in the developer settings. Now when I try to use ADB to reflash the stock ROM, it won't connect.

I was able to access the drop down menu and get to the settings, but when I try to access the developer settings it crashes.

I think I'm screwed, but I want to know if there's any other option to fixing this. I really need help guys... :(

GREAT!

Great ROM.

Very good and stable signal.

Smooth.

Just a few things;

1. Can you provide the option to disable the double press power open camera? I really hate it when accidentally press power twice, it vibrates and opens camera.

2. Power menu. Can you provide the option to include advance reboot and to remove sound panel in Power Menu?

GREAT ROM once again and thanks.

[HTC One A9] CSnowRules:
To downgrade from Nougat, please see this thread.

If TWRP isn't working with Nougat, you're likely using the old version, which is incompatible with Nougat's firmware. You must use the unofficial release from [MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION].

RUU zips cannot be flashed from recovery. RUUs must be flashed from download mode.

[HTC One A9] theNdroid:
You flashed a custom recovery? If so, which one? The 3.0.2.0 TWRP isn't compatible with Nougat. You must use the 3.0.3.0-UNOFFICIAL version, which is available for download in the FAQ section of Captian_Throwback's TWRP thread
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Misterjunky:
Here is something which I have been thinking about ever since

I purchased my very first Android phone....

So far all the android phones I ever had had one thing in common,

the volume control buttons did not change the volume evenly.

Turning the volume all the way up or all the way down is fine but

turning the volume up half way we can hardly hear anything at all.

Is it possible to create a mod which would solve this issue so when

we turn the volume up half way the volume would be half as loud as

when we turn the volume up to maximum loudness?

Thanks,

Have a nice day everyone!

re: OGG files

Removing the OGG file has nothing to do with the issue I was

asking about.

Removing the OGG file would simply disable the "beep" sounds

while changing the volume of the phone, it will do nothing else.

I don't mind those little beep sound while adjusting the volume.

Think of it this way, OGG files are just like MP3 audio both of

which are audio files which can be played with the music player.

Good luck,

Have a great day!

BTW I am pretty noobish and not the best but ive tried everything to get into the bootloader

ive tried

adb reboot bootloader (just restarts phone)

tried adb reboot-bootloader samething

:confused::confused:

also tried adb reboot recovery (reboots phone)
[LG Stylo 2  Questions & Answers] Droidriven:
You probably have one of the devices that has fastboot and recovery removed by your carrier to prevent modifying the device. You're probably out of luck.

[LG Stylo 2  Questions & Answers] JangleKlown:
Blame LG

I'd just like to point out the fact that this was done by LG, not Cricket. I've been researching this for months (to no avail yet, sadly) and there were a few phones that LG sold to Cricket where the bootloader is locked up, i.e. LG Stylo 2 (k540) and the LG Escape 3 (k373). This is something Cricket cannot change and LG is unwilling to help anyone do anything that will void the warranty to their phone. I'm still researching to see if anyone who knows more coding will be able to figure it out.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 6775212:
After about two months of usage, I've noticed some sort of microscopic chips out of the side keys on my A7. It's like it's been scratched along the edge and some of it has worn off, if that makes any sense.

Anyone else have this?

I can't tell exactly what the side keys are made of but at this point, I'm guessing cheap Chinese plastic that looks like metal :/

It's not really a problem but it's enough to bother me...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] z28camaroman:
I recommend watching JerryRigEverything's durability test and teardown of this phone. The side buttons are indeed made of aluminum, not plastic.

As for usage, two months in and I haven't seen as much as a scratch. Of course, I use the provided case, but your mileage may vary depending on how you treat the device.

Hello XDA comunity

I need you help. Something strange has happened to my device. Today I noticed that my S7E was freezing with garbeled pixels on the screen and reebooting by itself. I tried to go to the recovery and do a factory reset and the thing is, the device froze in it too! So I actually managed to boot into it and backup everything. After that, I did a factory reset and everything seemed fine. So I went into recovery to test out if the phone would repeat the same freeze, and after I entered, the phone turned off and didnt turn on again. So now It wont even give out any sign of life, not even with the charger. I tried the power + volume down but it wont turn on. So now I am stuck with a dead device :/

Can someone help me?

Regards

---------------SOLVED--------------

Going to Leave this here in case someone gets it too.

If for some reason your SGS7E is freezing with artifacts on its screen and then reebooting, you have a corrupted firmware. If for some reason, it shuts off and dosent turn off, or it wont respond to the power + volume down combo, check if it feels warm to the touch (not warm like 40º ou 30º more like, warm for your surroundings) if it does, that means that somehow it got stuck and wont power off. Just wait for it to drain completly and try again.

re: dead phone

Have you tried leave the phone on it's original charger

for at least an hour or more and then see if you can

get into either download mode or recovery?

I have seen many phones which have very similar

problems like your phone has and charging for at

least an hour on it's original battery charger will

usually allow booting into either recovery mode

and or into download mode.

If your phone can be booted into recovery or download

mode after charging and still has problems then simply

download the official samsung S7 Edge Nougat 7 or

Marshmallow 6.02 firmware and flash it with Odin3,

doing that will get your phone working properly just like

when you first purchased it.

Good luck,

Have a great day!

Hello, thanks for taking your time to help me. I'm on another account right now so dont be suprised about it since I forgot my password ahah.

Well, I'm testing the one hour charge and will reportback asap. The thing is, the device dosent turn on no matter what I do. I have a kill-a-watt so I can mesure its voltage and its showing 1.2 volts so I guess its doing something. I will report back asap.

UPDATE: Still not turning on :/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] spamtrash:
As one mentioned above: in that case: no boot, no Recovery, you have only one option, and the procedure is:

1. Pack your phone carefully, preventing it from further damage;

2. Using your laptop/tablet, PC, go online;

3. Open search engine, in search field place your town and "Samsung repair centre" then push enter

4. Remember the address and deliver your phone there. It may be handy to give them a call first

Sadly, this is only one option you have now.

Another Update

So after geting frustrated and wanting to trow the smartphone to a wall, to my surprise, I felt that the device was warm to the touch and decided to put it on its box while I went to sleep. I've just woken up and decided to try it, and it went stright up to the download mode. A few secounds later it turned itself off again, but I decided to insist and I managed to do it again while I connected it to the computer. I managed then to flash an original nougat firmware to it. After that I could finally turn the device on. So I'm just charging it right now so I can turn it on again and see if it can boot. I suspect that in some way, my firmware got corrupted.

TLDR: If your device feels a bit warm, just let it drain the rest of the battery and resist the urge to do the damn power reset and try again.

Okay I'm back now :D

Hello friend

I know that feeling. I had the same feeling after I saw my phone going dead on me. Well, this will sound crazy but, for now just leave it on your desk over a night, dont try to charge it, dont try to reset it, just leave it for at least 12 hours. My phone died like that, it started to loop each time I got the artifacts on the screen. Worse, it even did the same on the recovery menu. I bought mine with dubai firmware. The only diferent thing I did, was to flash 7.0 BTU rom directly on it since I live in portugal and the phone had a ton of apps that were in arabic. I used odin to flash it and for a week or so, the device worked flawless, only missing some important apps from the system wich I found to be odd. Now, for the good news, after hours of research at the time I actually learned that samsung build in a switch in case of inconsistent booting or kernel panic errors, that make your phone simply turn off to avoid a battery explosion (Like the note 7). This means that the phone wont charge or turn on if this switch is on. So I felt that my phone was not hot, but just warm to the touch when everything arout it was at 2º celcius. That meant that it was stuck with the screen turned off. I just let it sit for 2 hours while I took a nap and after that, I actually didnt use the charger right away, I tried the download mode key combo and it turned on. But since it was without battery, it turned of instantly. So I tried again and after it went straight to download mode, I connected to the computer and flashed the 7.0 btu firmware again. After this ordeal, I actually learned that the first flash actually didnt install a ton of system apps or functions that in turn, made the cellphone freeze. You can flash an original firmware in your phone, it wont brake the warraty or touch the knox 0x0 warranty.

There is a high chance that when you update or flash the firmware, something can go wrong (in my case it was a corrupted firmware doing to the internet connection). This will be the same with OTA's I guess. So dont despair, just let it sit for a while and tri again after that. With no battery the device will turn the switch off and you can use it afterwards again. The faul its at the software.

I debranded from dubai firmware to android 7.0 UK BTU ROM. I redownloaded and flashed again when I got the chance to do it, and so far I have 0 problems with freezes or artifacts. Check if the firmware is properly downloaded before doing anything to avoid a stuck screen of death that may take a long time to discharge the battery.

For both of you guys, I'm sorry if my english sucks

If you guys need anything else, just PM me or respond here on this tread and I will try to help you as mucha s I can.

Any way i can get it to turn on or somehow power back up again?

Any manual or computer way?

Have tried charging it and then leaving it for few days and then tried powering back up, but still nothing.

Usually when it used to freeze and black screen trying the power and vol down a few times would re boot it...

But right now it just seems like its died for good...

Please help anyone?

---------- Post added at 07:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 AM ----------

Yes i would love to be able to flash it again or even wipe/factory data reset... Im very familiar on how to to that using stock roms or custom roms, but I can't even get it into download mode...

If I could just get it to power and into download or recovery mode then I would at least be able to do something with it.

But it seems your right like it is stuck on the black screen.

I left it in charge last night...

So now im. Thinking just to leave it without charging at all again...

But how long to wait till I know if it's properly battery dead and discharged?

If I do that then surely if battery is completely drained and discharged then it wont even have enough power to go into download or recovery mode?

Then do I attempt to try charge it again?

Risk is not knowing how or when of the battery is will be completely dead...

If it is stuck/frozen in black screen then charging it again will just prolong it again?

Uurrggghh its driving me crazy
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Shadeftw:
In my opinion, you sould get a kill-a-watt to plug into a wall plug and to the charger to see the voltage thats going trough. If its 1,4v then the device is turned on but with a black screen (At least thats what it was showing to me, and its 1,4 because is just suppling energy, not charging).

The time it takes to discharge depens on why is stuck on that black screen. Mine was stuck at the recovery screen and took like 2 hours to discharge completly.

Unfortunally I'm having artifacts again :/ so this time I will downgrade my phone to 6.0.1. The simptoms I have when it does this, are overheating and extreme lag whithout doing nothing. Another suspicion I have is, it seems that the device does this when it wakes up.

I will take it directly to sammy next week anyway for them to analise it. Will report back asap. Meawhile I will test out other stuff too see what can be causing this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] icecoolpsyco:
Should I just talk to Samsung in Dubai?

And im thinking that possibly just send it back to them directly and let them deal with it under warranty?

I'm wondering if they will even let me do this?

I have the original receipt or both the phones from where it was bought in dubai.

The worst thing is the phone is only 4 months old when I bought it brand new and the one I bought for my wife is fine...

Her one is running a absolutely perfect and all latest updates etc, never ever crashed or ever frozen once, and she does a lot of photo and video editing on Instagram as a food blogger so her photo and video apps really push the phone.
