[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasilisw11:
Hi All,

I have the M8_UL (international version) with the latest Marshmallow update (OTA, 6.12.401.4). The boot loader is locked and S-ON.

When I do a factory reset I have issues with Google Play Services (lots of google play services has stopped errors) . Also I am able to connect to the internet and receive sms but the sound and phone calls randomly work and only after a few restarts and cache wipes. I had the same issue before and sent the phone to HTC and I think they did a flash. I did try to download the apk packages for Google but they always fail and I am unable to add my google account and reload my data.

I've read quite a few threads and concluded that my best option is to flash the stock RUU as described in the following thread:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6

Could someone please verify if that is the case? Is there a better approach on how to sort this out?

Kind Regards

Vas

I can now confirm that the steps provided in the link I've provided in my comment work fine. An error came up in the initial few lines of the process but I didn't have to do something. The process complete after a few minutes and the phone returned to a working state.

This is the error I've seen during the flash process:

Not sure if that was a serious error as I've seen different opinions in different forums but it didn't seem to cause any issues for me.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The error "please flush image again immediately" is normal and expected when flashing firmware (which is also contained in the RUU). The message is probably a typo and should say "please flash again immediately" (interestingly, I believe this typo has persisted over multiple HTC devices). Flash the RUU again, to be sure the firmware were properly installed.

I come to open the play store and see the damn icon changed.

how the hell did this happen? how do I stop any change by lg or google to mess with effin updates, cause they feel like changing my icons?

I dont want any updates. lets not get into the argument about why, just help me with what Im inquiring about please.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] me2151:

Google Play Services is what made the icon change. As stated above, you can't do anything about that without blocking access to Google Apps.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] mcall_r:
I've had the phone just a week and if I am using heavy then the battery is pretty good, lasts 4 hours plus. Better than my G5.

However, if I am barely using and only sending the occasional WhatsApp and not much else, then the battery doesn't seem to last as long, for example it drained to 50% today with very little use, only 1 hour of SOT. Wifi and location were on, but Bluetooth off.

I've taken some screenshots of battery stars with gSam. Could someone help me decipher what is causing the drain? Or if this is normal behaviour?

Everyone is saying that this phone has amazing standby battery life because of 7.0, Doze, etc. So I am confused!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] KUSOsan:
Looks like you have something running in The background keeping it from falling into deep sleep which is why. Unfortunately I suck @ troubleshooting these kinds of scenarios. My guess would be a Google service of some type. My brother had a problem with Gmail one time that was draining his battery while the phone was in sleep
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] BabaAsheri:
Every time I try to boot into recovery, I get the white Factory Data Reset screen. If I don't select Yes, it boots into system. How do I get into TWRP around this?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] BabaAsheri:
nvm. I just realized that selecting Yes on those white screens is only a formality to get into TWRP and they have no effect on the system.

As the new Nougat is already out for LG V10 (korean model for now only). Then why don't you share you experience, screenshots & if possible videos about the fresh look of Nougat OS running on your phone.

So don't hesitate in providing your review about Android Nougat upgrade.

What I have seen so far, it's look like that LG's UX 5.0+ is added with latest upgrade along many new features which we can see in any Nougat phone

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] danster84:
Hi all

Today while just browsing on the web my Mate 9 just froze and then went black. Now I cannot do anything with it anymore it's just dead, with black screen.

Also hooking up the charger and pressing all the button combinations does not make any difference.

Has anybody experienced something similar as well?

Also I bought my Mate 9 6gb/128gb via AliExpress from China. Has anyone perhaps got any experience/information how it works with the warranty? It's still with in the 12 Months.

The seller has not replied, but Huawei did stating that the Warranty is only valid within China seeing it's a Chinese device..

Thanks very much, all help is greatly appreciated!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cracktech:
I didnt see or need "Authentication Certificate" on my MT6570T to flash ( reflash my device about 8 times - I removed all the "* verified" files from my ROM). Maybe it is only required for certain brands or maybe the newer P Series.

The old MTK ROMs used " Checksum" the new ones used Authentication Cert probably ( I am just guessing)t but both can be ignored using trial and error. The old ROMs we just hide the "Checksum" file and add TWRP recovery and modified "data.img". If it requires a Checksum we generate a new Checksum using "checksum generator.exe". If the Checksum doesnt correspond to the *.img" file it will not flash. I guess it is the same concept here.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dmilz:
Found the authentication file in one of the Onda Obook firmware files. I have no idea on how to make it, i just shared in the hope that it helps somebody out there.

Hope somebody can have a look at the file and see if it can be modified
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dmilz:
If you mean you managed to flash an mtk device that required authentication file without file then kindly be clear how you did it so that others can give it a try. Would be good if it became possible to bupass authentication

I didn't use any of the auth files in this thread, instead i generated the signatures for the boot image with a pythong script available in the ROM I link here.

This is the exact image I flashed and has the root and recovery modifications, you can use the flash_all.sh script and it takes care of everything.
