[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Icetea:
i’m using a G5 (H850) since a few month without any problem. No screen ghosting / no GPS trouble! Nougat is running well ( without root or unlocked BB!) so far. But it seems to be a little bit difficult to get a 100% error free unit. Until now, it looks like, i have one of it.:D I pray ,that it will stay.;)
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] rpsweb:
Why not get the h850 it's LTE works everywhere afaik
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] phillytemptation:
Yeah I kind of want a oneplus, but I also need to buy two phones right now. One for me and my gf. Trying to keep it under $500 for both and a used one plus is still pretty expensive in comparison to a used G5.

Can't find any on swappa right now. There are a few listend on ebay but it also says like h850 tmobile which doesn't seem right.

Nice, now I'm a little more hesitant picking one up though. Didn't know there were so many problems with it...
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Icetea:
bug-list in short form:

* GPS problems because the pins for contacting the antenna are sometimes a little bit slack

* Screen sometimes will have a little ghosting (like AMOLED ) But less than Samsung S7 will have!

* Battery should have 2.800mah but this could be different +/- 15%

* the battery compartment cover includes the microfon too! Sometimes this cover has bad contact

* it is difficult to get a tempered glass screen-protector for it because the screen is bent

* Nougat update sometimes seems to be buggy

see here for more informations -> http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/lg-g5-problems/

but as i wrote, my phone is error free until now.

see point 1.) of my signature!;)
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] jeffsga88:
As far as your question goes, yes you can get a t-mobile h830 (g5) on any version of software and you will be okay. If it's still on MM, you can use the modified tot flashing method or dirty cow. If it's on Android N, you will need to use dirty cow and if it's above 20A, you have to downgrade to 20A. Look in the T-mobile section for the guides on how to unlock your bootloader and get twrp and root (which voice you need to view will depend on what version of software your phone has on it). As far as development, there's one stock based rom (fulmics) and a couple non stock ROMs (LOS, RR, DU and one or two more) for our phone. As far as the issues with the phone that other people have posted about, it really just depends on the phone you get. Me and my gf both have g5s and neither of us have any issues, but many others have had problems. Anyways, if you get the t mobile version you can unlock your bootloader, get twrp, root and custom ROMs if you want. Hopefully this helps.

For me lg g5 its working great no bugs on gps not anything [emoji3]
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] phillytemptation:
Thanks for the info! I was reading on some of the non-stock roms that camera quality isn't as good as fulmics, but I didn't know how much of a difference that was. Do you have any experience with that?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] jeffsga88:
As far as camera quality, any room other than true stock will have some quality issues or issues of not having all of the features that stock camera has. Even on fulmics ROM camera has issues with manual mode I believe. But thats just how custom ROMs go. As far as quality difference between stock and quality on custom ROMs, it's not that much. You will notice a difference if you compare pictures from stock to ones from custom ROMs, although quality on custom ROMs it's fine to me. Again though, you can always dual boot stock and custom ROMs to have the best of both worlds :)

That just means it locked to T-mobile you can get it unlocked for free I think

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Nadeem A.M:
Do not get it on T-Mobile whatever you do. If you do get the device at all, get either the International version or the H850 model. The bootloader can be unlocked on these, therefore opening up the possibilities.

Don't get wrong, the phone has a lot of great selling points; just keep you're options open or you'll regret it later.

Hope this helps.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Nick216ohio:
I got tmobile version. Unlocked bootloader and all. So why do you say that?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Nadeem A.M:
I must be confused with another device. My apologies for the inconvenience. Want some power user tips? PM me.

I was thinking of starting a YT series called LG G5 Revived. I don't think this phone is that great, but I do think its underrated. Yes or no?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Nick216ohio:
If you get lucky with the version with no issues it's not that bad. The specs are pretty good for this phone, just the build quality not so much. This phone can be bought for $300 and some change.

Honestly go compare this to the new LG 6 and galaxy S8. Pay almost triple with tax for a slight upgrade spec wise? Nah I am cool.

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Grep_The_Truth:
The LG G6 is coming soon! Why not just get that one?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Nick216ohio:
Read my comment on previous page.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] jeffsga88:
First, the G6 is already out. Second, I have to agree, getting the g6 doesn't make sense. Hardware was barely updated, software isn't much better and price is at least double what you'll pay for a G5. Initially I was thinking about getting it but once the official specs for released, I decided that I'll keep my G5 :) Maybe I'll look at the ZTE axon 8 when it comes out of price stays same as the axon 7 was for a great phone, otherwise I'll stick with my G5. Plus, we can stay updated with latest software on G5 with our custom ROMs :)
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] tt c6:
Does everyone agree that a new buyer should avoid the LG G5 due to all the issues a high percentage of people have had???

Thanks in advance.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Nick216ohio:
Yes and no. If you get working unit, it's pretty good phone. But yeah after some thinking sadly I would agree potential new buyers don't buy!

It's unacceptable the issues with this phone for a lot of people. I only have the screen burn issue. But reading all these threads with issues makes me cringe.

To the potential new buyers look for something similar price and research the hell out of it! And to the people thinking of buying G6 or galaxy s8 you probably should wait for something better. Not really an upgrade aka waste of money.

I've seen these exact same issues with other LG phones. Will wait for Samsung galaxy S9 or One plus whatever it is.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] jeffsga88:
Yeah would have to agree. It is a good phone if you get a good one but there's a decent chance of getting one that has issues. Also, screen burn isn't truly screen burn in, just screen ghosting, but it's still annoying. Can be fixed via software, but somehow LG didn't bother doing that so you have to use 3rd party apps to do it yourself. I had an LG G2 and upgraded to the G5 as the G2 had been pretty good and had great development. G5 has been good to me for most part, also have screen ghosting (although easy to fix on custom roms) and small Gap between bottom of phone and the module. Development is nowhere close to what the G2 had and that caught me by surprise, but that's what happens when LG locks everyone's bootloader except a couple models (although I'm thankful for the development we do have :) ). G6 and S8 are way too expensive to justify and not much of an upgrade honestly. I'd wait for something else personally but if you want to chance it, and you get a good one, the phone is good and is much cheaper than a new flagship. Wonder if zte will follow what they did last year with releasing a nice phone with flagship specs for $400, ZTE axon 8 ;) maybe.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Nick216ohio:
Agreed. But zte still a pain in the ass to unlock bootloader? I remember it was with my old zte.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] jeffsga88:
From what I read before the us version of the axon 7 allowed official unlocking (although like lg they void the warranty) and there was unofficial methods for unlocking as well. Who knows if they will do the same with the axon 8.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Nick216ohio:
Thanks might look into next zte :) And one more thing. I don't mean to sound disrespectful to developers. You guys are amazing! Not enough developers on this phone :(

Next phone, #1 selling point will be if there's a lot of development.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] jeffsga88:
Unfortunately, the reason there isn't as much development is mainly because LG has made it more of a pain to do development each year. Look at the G2 and G3, tons of development and basically every model had root and custom ROMs / kernels. Then the G4 and G5, only t-mobile and international versions had any development. The G6 will probably be similar as LG did stupid things again like allowing you to unlock the bootloader on T-Mobile but taking out the fastboot commands needed to flash TWRP, but hopefully they fix it. Other reason there's a lack of development for this phone has to do with the drama that some members caused when root and TWRP was originally being worked on when the phone first came out. But anyways, I agree I'll be making sure there's plenty of development for whatever phone I get next before buying, and just don't think I'll go with LG anymore.

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armitagebron:
Hi, friends. I've just got my new SATV PRO 2015 and I'm going to revert it to linux development station for some python stuff. To do this I need to make a lot of work on unlocking bootloader, rooting, flashing, etc.

So I need a fully backup first. I know, I could make one with copying inner HDD, but I don't want to open Shield due to the warranty.

Are there any ways to backup all important partitions, files, data, IDs with use only of ADB and FASTBOOT? Maybe I can somehow copy the whole HDD to my 1TB drive without disassembly?

Thank you!
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lavero.burgos:
No. You need to backup your partitions (not entire hdd as that would not be practical) with tools like dd from Linux distro.

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallydamaster:
It's really not a problem to open up the SATV and make a proper DD backup of the drive.

But, you should be able to boot linux L4T from the SD card or a USB key, and from there use DD to make the backup.

I'm just not sure that you have full access to the HDD from within that environment.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lavero.burgos:
A friend of mine recently introduced me to Flashfire by Chainfire.

You can backup partitions from there too and apparently "TrustZone" is the relevant partition or just backup all the ones tagged as (protected partitions). I only have 16gb model but partition names should be the same.

The problem might be when you ever need to restore, if partition is writable and let you flash it. This needs to be tested to be 100% sure.

That app would be only for prevention for now

Yeah, guys. You were right. I was not smart enough to figure it out. I'm not sure about booting in Linux, but I'm sure, Flashfire will work. But, if you've rooted the device. ADB backup -all works just with /data partition. So, I opened the shield and cloned the whole HDD.

Hi Everyone!

Long timer lurker, first time poster!

So, I've popped into the site for years to get tips on how to root/unlock/jailbreak the various devices I have: Apple stuff, Android stuff, etc. I've got the LG V20 and as I've broken it in, I've been increasingly frustrated by the lag and bloat from all of these processes running in the background that Greenify can barely keep up with to shut down over-and-over-again...

Wait. To quote Ruby Rod: "But who CAAAAARES!?!"

I want to Root my Sprint LG V20. I followed the steps that me2151 put in his (excellent) post, step by step. Everything seemed to go fine, got TWRP installed and working, installed the Stock LS997, installed SuperSU.

But the static.

THE STATIC.

It won't go away.

I covered the entire front of the phone and put screen to sleep/woke it up. Still there.

I covered the front and restarted from scratch. Still there.

I installed AT&T H918 Konverged Kernel, then did the above. Still there.

I've started from Step 2-the end x 3 in the last 36 hours; up until 2am last night messing with it. I've searched through the forums and it sounds like folks have gotten past it, but for whatever reason my phone stubbornly isn't snapping to...

I can SEE the setup screens behind the static, like if I work from memory and swipe at the right place/time, I can get to the "set up wifi" screen but then the disruption is too great to type anything.

I hate to be "that guy" that one of you is going to respond with a link to an obvious solution to the problem, but I gotta say I'm at the end of my ability to figure this one out - could use some help, please, thanks (and sorry for being dense, in advance)...!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] midmadn:
I'm not sure what is causing this problem for you - but the only advice I can offer is to flash werewolf 1.0 kernel. While some/most prefer the stock kernel for responsiveness and battery life - I do flash werewolf 1.0 when I'm playing with a new rom and want to see what's going on behind the static.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Team DevDigitel:
Lock your screen

Then cover proximity sensor to make 2nd screen sleep. Once sceen is sleeping unlock screen and it will be normal. Easier way to get by it is lock screen then turn phone face down... Walk away for 5 min.

After you get in the 1st time. Set 2nd screen off when main screen is off and a simple lock and unlock of phone will remove static.

And yes it will always be there on stock rom and stock kernel. Custom kernel will fix static but break other things..

Aosp has no static.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] raenemaker:
Ohhhh, okay....

First: thank you both for your responses - after reading and re-reading your posts, I feel like I know you! Either of you wanna be a godparent? If so, lemme know and I'll PM you when I have kids. And/or get married.

Anywho, that may be my issue, Team DevDigitel - patience (I was putting the screen to sleep with my hand over the sensor and waking it back up in seconds...I'll try 5 minutes to see what happens. Will report back (it's currently re-flashing).

In the meantime, the weirder parts of this exercise have been this:

-when I flash using the stocks from your post (Team DevDigitel) or the original link from me2151, I get the static that won't go away (which, again, sounds like it's my fault)

-when I wipe and flash and install LS997-deODEXd-signed (the one that I read WASN'T based on a Sprint ROM, but a US ROM), no static, but no phone connectivity - blank everything - no MEID, etc.

Curious - when/if I can get through the static, will that connectivity issue still be there, or will it be repaired because it is indeed based on a Stock Sprint ROM vs a generic US one?

Also: when I boot up, the static is on the screen so much that I can't really tell when it's done and at the sprint setup screens (language, etc.)...if I turn the phone over the 5+ minutes, will it still go to sleep that early into the process, or just freeze there?

Thanks again, guys - really appreciate it and I'm learning a lot from reading your exchanges!

:highfive::good::fingers-crossed:
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] raenemaker:
Sigh, tried it - no joy. Steps:

1) Through TWRP, wiped cache, dalvik, system, data, and even internal storage

2) Flashed TeamDevV7.5C.zip off of Ext SD, then wiped dalvik/cache

3) Pressed "back" to Main TWRP and Installed SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip, then wiped dalvik/cache

4) Pressed "back" to Main TWRP and Installed konverged-0.3-v20-h918-7.0..zip, then wiped dalvik/cache

5) Pressed "back" to Main TWRP and Rebooted to System

6) Once System loaded, static across entire screen

7) After it seemed like the screen had gotten to the point of the Sprint installer, behind the lines (I can tell because if I tap the lower right corner, the screen seems to change...until I get to what I think is where it asks to connect to a wifi and the keyboard pops up, but can't tell anything)

8) Tapped power key once to put phone to sleep

9) Put phone face-down on desk

10) Waited 10 minutes like that

11) Tapped power key again while phone still face down on desk

12) Turned phone over, still had static on first and second screens

13) Repeated from #9, but instead of 10 minutes, waited 20 minutes

14) Turned phone back over, and first screen stayed black/nothing, while second screen stayed static

15) Pressed power button multiple times (from 1 tap, 2 taps, 3 taps, 1/2/3/ long presses), and nothing

16) Took battery out and put back in

17) Static screen reloads again

I think I screwed something up somewhere - the sensor trick seems to be working for everyone but me - is there any way to deactivate the second screen via fastboot,or something super-clever like that...?
