Images?

I have this issue but the link to the images is 404. Can I get the pictures?

2. screen flicker -

The problem IS NOT a graphic chip (analogix), the problem is NOT CPU, as many have speculated in the past and the people who putt thermal paste over a CPU need serious education on the topic. Thermal paste is in no way a magical substance that lowers temperature when applied - it's purpose is to fill the gaps between a heating body (CPU) and heat dispenser (cooling unit, cooler, aluminum grill, etc), so thermal paste is a gap filler, not a cooling magical stuff. With that out of the picture, the problem of the screen flicker is a completely separate integrated circuit which goes haywire due to some magnetic stuff:

PERMANENT SOLUTION (homemade doable):

Now first, go back to motherboard image, and on the front side of the board find Gyro Sensor chip - just above that chip, there is a grid of 5x5 pin-like circuits.

http://i.imgsafe.org/1ba7e9ccc9.jpg

Now that you have located them, that is your LCD screen flicker solution: I didnt quite understand what is really going on there, but you need to apply heat (just like in the BSOD solution, same time same temperature), and use metallic object to "clean" the pins. He explained to me that the screen flicker is due to some magnetic residue that builds up in that circuits, and a clean metal will remove it. (how that is even possible I dont know but the solution works) Long story short - I used a really fine metallic brush (Dremel set) and once I heated it up, just strolled with brush over those pin-heads. According to the guy, the metallic object needed for cleaning should be non-magnetic. If you dont remove the screen flicker at first, use a really fine object to give all the pins a push (once heated), I used broken needle (regular needle is too sharp) or smallest Phillips screwdriver in my set. IMPORTANT: when doing this, there is a ton of chips nearby so it's smart to protect rest of the board with Alu-foil

total of my 5 screen flicker units NEVER went back to screen flicker issue. Special note: 2 of my units after completely removed screen flicker issue, immediately went to "no sim card" issue and I dont know how that is connected, but there is also a method for sim-card issue repair further down the topic

Hello Igoritza,

I finally managed to get laf.img and recovery.img back on the phone and got LGUP to recognize it as well.

I install the original Rogers MM KDZ on it and it went all the way and worked perfectly for about 30 minutes.

After that, I got a blue screen for the first time ever. The phone rebooted, worked fine for a while then the blue screen again... It did that a few times until it stopped booting and appeared completely dead.

I removed the battery put it back in and booted into download mode with no problems. I tried flashing back the Telus LP KDZ and again, blue screen in the middle. Since then, I can't do anything with the phone. It boots into download mode and nothing really happens, but when I try to flash any KDZ with LGUP, the blue screen appears again in the middle.

I saw many posts and videos on how to fix this by baking the motherboard to reseat the CPU. The thing is, I don't think it's that. There is no reason for the CPU to move from its place all of a sudden. I have the phone for 3 years and never had a single problem with it. It fell from my hands twice in those 3 years.

I think something got messed up during the rooting process and then when I installed the original KDZ, it got all screwed up on me.

Anyway, is there another way to fix blue screens except baking the MB?

Thank you,
[G3 General] the_bulk:
It doesn't get moved because it fell down(cpu). It happens because soldering is somewhat bad and high temp over the long time ruins the soldering "joints". Same things happens with chips in laptops. High temperature over long time and soldering gets ruined.

It could really be that you messed something up when you tried to do something with software. Other thing that could happened is that what ever you were doing heated some of the chips to the point where inevitable happened.
[G3 General] BlackUnity:
Tried the butane lighter. Worked for a day or two before the flickering started again. Tried to heat it even more and now my phone doesn't turn on anymore.
[G3 General] the_bulk:
Did the butane lighter trick worked for someone permanently? I did reheating with hair drier and it worked for a month. maybe even more but now it's dead again.
[G3 General] masterxxxxxl:
My LG G3 develops alot of heat on startup and overheats as soon as the startup is done. The heat builds up nearly directly behind the buttons on the back so it's either the cpu or the memory chip. Anyone has an idea whether this is fixable?

Does anybody know, if the ic memory chip with number H9CKNNNBKTMT-DRNUH is the same as H9CKNNNDATMT-DRNUH. Both are used in LG G3 D855. There are so many number variation of this chip for the LG G3 D855 so I'm a litlle confused.
[G3 General] Felix92x:
What you mention are the SoC ram memories and you can exchange one for the other as long as you put it right, I'm telling you from experience and I get to put the 3GB RAM of a 32GB LG G3 one 16GB that comes with only 2gb of ram and work well for a while since apparently the root of all the evils is the SoC of the processor that is below the RAM
[G3 General] ttttkk:
seems like there is no permanent solution to this problem....
[G3 General] lawong:
none bro, i have tried all but none of them stick . now my lg g3 buried in my drawer .
[G3 General] mitko23:
Yes , the ram memory which is on top of the CPU. So they are interchangeable even though they have different part numbers. That is somewhat reassuring, because I wasn't able to find the H9CKNNNBKTMT-DRNUH chip which my phone has, as it is discontinued. The only one which apperently is in production is the H9CKNNNDATMT-DRNUH.

I've always thought that the major malfunctions of the G3 are caused mainly by the cpu ram chip on the top (overheating crack the soldering balls between the ram and the cpu). So you are saying that the actual fault is within the qualcomm cpu itself or the soldering balls between the cpu and the motherbard? Reballing is something which i can deal with but buying new cpu is going to be quite difficult, as they are not available from what I've seen.

I've got a LG G3 D851, BSOD but I think best way to handle this is getting a new device.

Solutions are combined with luck, so I don't want to be wasting more money on this, thanks anyway to the OP for sharing and no more LG for me.
[G3 General] chimpanzee00:
Thanks for this, I have a T-Mo LG G3 (bought Dec/2014) which has been pretty good to me.

I had to replace original battery, it became puffy & lost capacity. After getting new battery, I began to notice while using camera (high current drain) -- the G3 would re-boot! I had to use an external battery any time I used camera. This has a haunting simlarity with the

"random restart" bug plague-ing LG G3

I used the solution for 2) -- used soldering iron to heat up the 5x5 area above gyroscope chip. then, used Dremel small wire brush to scrape the area. Repeeated, using pen-knife flat blade. Put a 12mm x 12mm credit card stock, in between 2-chip stack (Hynix RAM & Qualcomm CPU). It powered up, & no more screen fade/flickering!!
[G3 General] psєudo:
This BSOD fix worked for me (no baking):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trIU-mCyDNk

Otherwise the BSOD dont have to cause due to hardware. When i flashed a BSOD with some custom rom it was fixed too!

Really thanks for that awesome collection of fixes! :victory:

In my opinion the LG G3 is a very good phone, you can easily change any part of hardware without melting any glue (exept chipset).

Make sure you got all screws in the back!

My microSD card slot wont work for months, after i detached the back (BSOD fix) i noticed theres one screw missing. I just tooked one of my Galaxy A5 screws and voila - its working again now!!! :good:
[G3 General] psєudo:
Just blow-dried (with an usual blow-drier) my BSOD (yes, AGAIN) Mainboard and it just works fine!

[G3 General] Foxbator:
My D855 phone started to BSOD after 4 years of intense usage. It felt down countless times. I think more than 100 times. Often on a hard floors without issues. (It was in TPU bumper with protective nillkin glass.) I even thought it is unkillable.

I tried pressure method with piece of plastic card under power button. It worked fine to save my data. But soon BSOD appeared again. I've just tightened the screw beneath volume button that changed pressure on chips and phone worked again. So I screwed and unscrewed that screw about once a day and it worked for about a week. I've noticed that phone is usually fall to BSOD during or soon after heating. After screw with plastic method stop working i've put soft silicone-based electric tape on RAM and SSD. It worked great for about a day even with heavy load. Than I tried to aply heat of butane lighter on SSD (2-3 cm from top of the flame for 15 sec and everything is covered with foil except SoC) that didn't help. Than I've heated the RAM with the same method, and it worked fine for about 12 hours.

So the reason is in RAM.

[G3 General] Zirila:
is there still someone listening in this thread?

if so, I've got a nasty hardware problem and need to know the origin of it and how to fix it:

my rear-camera seems to be broken, I get noise and violet stripes and then a blank-black screen or a tiled preview image, and the camera app says "serious hardware error". ROM doesn't matter, it happens with all roms and camera apps. the front camera works fine, though.

recently i found out, that the camera begins to function again when I start to wind the smartphone diagonally (over the horizontal line), e.g. hold the G3 on each opposite corners and begin to wind a little bit.. as soon as I wind it, the preview picture shows up. When I release the wind, the camera error is back, no preview shown.

I was wondering if this is a Chip (IC) issue or a soldering issue on the motherboard... I already tried to fix the motherboard with a hair-dryer, but the temperature is well below the soldering point... should I try to reflow the motherboard chips with higher temperatures to fix it? or is it useless if it's a IC issue?
[G3 General] shahper1:

[G3 General] vicryl:
As to my experience with repairing G3. Most of the problems are cracked solder ball between RAM Chip and MSM 8976. This balls are from softer solder and will crack more easily due to heat expansion/contraction.

The symptoms include, but are not limited to:

1. slow booting, slugishnes of G3 (cracked ball are arcing),

2. not working rear camera and led lamp,

3. sdcard corruption and not detecting,

4. increaced battery drain (arcing),

5. flickering and fading to black screen,

6. boot loop,

7. when battery charged full giving every couple of seconds battery full notice and sound,

8. not able to charge battery to full or stopping charge at some % and then continuing to full,

9 sim card detection problems.

You need to reflow the SK Hynix RAM on top of MSM 8976 with HA station. 200-210C and 30% air and solder flux on top watching not to blow it out of the Hynix chip for 1-2 minutes. Let it cool of to 36 degC then wipe flux. The Hynix chip will almost never fail of heat, if you have Samsung or Micron RAM, they may fail and will need to be replaced. I have never had G3 with failed Hynix RAM. Of course you may have contact or cracked solder on other connectors. First try RAM reflow, if it doesn't help, there's a search ahead of you.

You might still have LP bootloader. Newer LOS needs MM bootloader. I'd suggest installing the Latest Miui developer ROM(will install MM BL and relock it) then officially unlock again. The Firmware on TheStrix's thread contains the MM bootloader but you won't be able to unlock without MIUI.

[Moto Z Questions & Answers] benzinerwin:
You really don't have any backup of that partition? Maybe an old one you did "ages ago" via TWRP...?

That would be really bad, because the data in there is bound to your cpu serial number and digitally signed by motorola.

/edit:

How did you "delete the file"? In the other thread you mentioned file explorer. I.e. you deleted the mount point?

Do the suggested dump of the partition yourself and keep it safe. You may send it to me and I can try to restore it if you want.

Also suggest an aosp one if you can.

2nd problem-

I have flashed the latest firmware for j700f INS as i am currently in india, from sammobile using odin.

Still when i flash afterburner latest versions or use enigma v4.1's kernel (im on enigma 4.1 right now) ii dont get network signals.

After flashing enigma i have to flash afterburner v1.3 again to get back network signals. Some dev and people are saying because of old files in firmware, but mine is latest so why this issue??

Thanks again for opening and reading this. Please suggest .

I have a number of videos with the following properties. Their video frame rate is 30 at 720p with codec of H.264 part 10, using Lavf57.27.100 to encode. The audio is AAC at 48kHz..

I played these videos on different number of android devices using MX Player with HW decoding. The video is delayed by a second or two. But with HW+. things seem ok.

I played these same videos on the same android devices using BS Player. The video and the audio are perfectly in sync.

How come? Please help.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
BS uses a implementation similar to HW+ as default. So, you will get the result like HW+.

In HW decoder, MX Player uses the mediaplayer implementation from android itself. MX Player's control on it is very limited.

If HW+ works fine, you may just use it. From 1.9.0 HW+ will be enabled by default for all users with android 5.0+. But, HW will be the default one as usual.

Hi,

I have an A2017G which after trying linageos had the stock rom from here https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/development/rom-guide-updates-to-stock-files-via-t3469484 TWRP and an unlocked bootloader. That worked ok, and I wanted to upgrade to the stock ROM 7.1. I installed this using TWRP https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71664539&postcount=29. But now when it boot's after the bootloader it's stuck showing a linux logo, and it won't boot Android.

In the bootloader (http://i.imgur.com/Os4vkwT.jpg) I can try to go to fastboot, but selecting that only reboots the phone. I can however select recovery and go to the stock recovery (http://i.imgur.com/PBj6y6X.jpg). From there I have tried to sideload (selecting Apply update from ADB and adb sideload rom.zip) the stock rom (http://www.ztedevice.com/support/detail?id=1170789A90BA42E18B3364B80C7F5A26), the previous rom I tried to install (https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71664539&postcount=29) and another TWRP stock rom (https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/development/rom-kernel-stock-7-1-1-b02-based-a2017g-t3592470) but all fail at the very beginning saying "(adbd status 1) Installation aborted" (http://i.imgur.com/RzNSBtu.jpg).

I also tried to install linageos back using sideload but it fails ("failed to verify whole-file signature"). I believe that is because it's not the official rom and the stock recovery only accepts that.

ADB only works in sideload mode and fastboot doesn't (it loads the bootloader again).

Do you know how I should proceed? How could I install the stock rom, or TWRP again?

Thanks in advance.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Darkem:
Try it with this guide:

https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-reinstall-twrp-root-update-to-t3578552

If you can't flash recovery with axon7toolkit try it with the last step "Get Fastboot" first. ZTE removed the fastboot mode in Nougat, so you have to flash another fastboot image.

If you can boot into fastboot again you can flash TWRP and from TWRP a rom.

Good luck!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] julianNexst:
Hi Darkem,

Thanks a lot, that actually worked.
