[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] Hai Karate:
I just got one a week ago, coming from an HTC One M9. This is not a phone you want to get if rooting or custom ROMs are important to you, as the locked bootloader prevents that.

I've rooted my previous phones mainly to install a firewall and remove carrier-specific junk. However, non-root firewalls work just as well, and you can de-brand the phone by entering ##BRAND# in the dialer. This removes Sprint's apps and branding and leaves surprisingly little crap running in the background, but if you're the type that wants to remove anything and everything that you don't need, you won't be happy.

SIM unlock is quite easy, following the guide here. Everything works for me, including LTE.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with it.
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
i got it it is on nougat ive had a long line of unrootables lately g6 att s6 edge s6 plus many more so ive been coming to terms with no root thanks for the debrand info

sim unlocked it withing 15 min of having it so big plus there

one stupid question though before i break the modular i got it out of the phone but how to i actually take the damn battery off it lol
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] Hai Karate:
If the battery hasn't been removed before, it's on there pretty tight. You separate the battery by twisting it off, basically, pulling from the inside edge towards the outside. There's at least one video on YouTube showing how to do it.
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
wow im dumb lol i was pullin and pressing the tabs in it

but most def thanks i got it
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
the debranding code works on 7.0 but all the sprint app are still on it
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] Hai Karate:
OK, if you installed the Hidden Menu APK from the SIM unlock guide, open it then go to SVC, then Factory Reset (R&D Only). Of course, this is going to completely wipe out the phone but it will definitely remove Sprint's apps at the same time. When the phone restarts and goes through the setup process you'll see a screen where it tries to configure the phone with Sprint. Press Volume Up and Down together at this screen to cancel that configuration so you can proceed with phone setup as normal.

Hope you have better luck...9 months in and bootloops. No gamer here just usual user with maybe just listening for YouTube red (screen of) at work for 4-5 hr a day.

Tried new battery, factory reset....updated...seems to do it when gets really hot...but it's done it when not feeling as hot. Even with just bare apps.
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] ktdilsiz:
Hello everyone,

I tried to downgrade my Spring ls992zva to zv5 and then zv6 and then zv8. In all these cases, I got "error 0x2bc invalid command" and it stopped at 10%. I tried with two different cables. It goes through antirollback but then stops when the update starts.

This put my phone into a loop situation. I have tried fixing with LG Bridge and LG Mobile Support Tool with no luck. LG Bridge doesn't recognize the connection and LG Support Tool says that I have that latest software and when I try "Update Recovery" option as some websites suggest, I get the error "Check out the model and serial number".

I have not fully tried LG Flash Tool or other flashing software throughly, only tried to stick with LGUP.

I have tried the update with ZV5 and ZV6 TOT files and for ZV8 I tried both KDZ and extracted DZ files. All same situation.

I do not necessarily want to downgrade my phone anymore. If possible, I want to just be able to boot it. I looked for ZV9 and ZVA software files but unfortunately couldn't find anything.

Please let me know if you can help. I am willing to pretty much anything reasonable since the phone is already softbricked. Only if I could get through the Firmware Update loop and start the phone once, it would probably solve my problem.

Thank you

TLDR: I got my lgls992va stuck in Firmware Update Loop after trying to flash ZV5 downgrade and looking for a fix, gave up on downgrade.
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
im old skool I aint got a g5 yet might get one tomorrow but ive always used old flash tool

I don't know if theres g5 dlls for flashtool but the methods I assume would still work to use lgg2 firmware extractor to get the dll then try flash tool make sure to set setting at board dll though and now upgrade even on g4 it sends it to blue screen reset status 2. if not.
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] ktdilsiz:
Thank you for the response, i'll play around with flash tool a bit but I would also appreciate some other solutions while I work on this :) Such us maybe how to fix LG Bridge connection or LG Support Tool error or another TOT that I may have missed.
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
Lol i cant help u there ive never used either one of them. Been using flashtool since g2
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] bilgerryan:
The only other thing I can think of is if you could get ahold of the ZVA update zip and flash it through stock recovery. I did it once on my S4, kinda hard to get it without root since it's downloaded to the /cache partition.
[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Questions & Answers] lrwjr1964:
If you decide to use, you do so at your own risk. I am only telling of my experience.

Model: Sony Xperia XA Ultra (F3213)

Firmware version: 36.1.A.0.179_R2B

Region: Latin America (Generic) [1302-9695]

Android version: 7.0

( I believe the US version that was pulled is 36.1.A.0.179_R1B but I am not totally sure of that)

They have Firmware of other variants but the one I listed is for the F3213. I installed an hour ago using Flashtool. Worked Fine but I did have to put the APN for it to connect to TMobile and reinstall my apps. Only thing that stinks is that I can't use any of my progies that require root. But I can live with it. Now lets see if it lives up to all the hype!!

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Jonnyn93:
So I wanted a oneplus 5 skin and seeing as the majority are still in pre order stage I thought I'd have a go myself. I have a vinyl cutter so once the material arrives I'll get it cut and post some pics, but here is the current design. (the pikachu is from a phone wallpaper I found online, so it's not mine originally)

I thought because of dash charge, and one of Pikachus moves being "dash" it seemed fitting.

If anyone else has some suggestions for cool skins, let me know and I'll see about knocking it up.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] byt3b0mb:
What vinyl cutter do you have? I want to buy a cutter and make these myself.

Do you already have a template? What format is it?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Jonnyn93:
I made the template myself by using photoshop to draw over the back of the phone. The cutter I use is a Silhouette portrait. It's pretty cool.

their software allows you to trace the shape from a jpeg and convert it to a vector.

Perfect that's the one I was looking at buying.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] eric0668:
IF someone could take time out of your busy schedules I would be most grateful and could make it up to you

I got the OP5. I used it one day, yesterday. Today I am sporadically able to get on the internet, most of the times not. I started getting a KEY icon in the status bar

I googled and searched to see it has something to do with an APN or VPN I don't know what they are, I am sorry

I tried to read how to do it but got intimidated on different ways, one manual one another way, on each site. Many ways

I tried to work it out with OnePlus Service. Their service has a lot to be deserved. The first guy didn't know what it was. The second was, I sent a screen shot, he said he'd talk to level 2 and call back

45 minutes later, I got an email saying "Thanks your issue has been solved" I tried to call back, to no avail. Closed

If anyone could walk me thru it, here, private messages, email I would be most grateful. I have lets say a few health issues and parents I need to reach, and have no land line

I don't want to return the phone.

Thank You

Eric
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jerrywmilton:
Are you in the US ?if so which network ATT or T Mobile ? have you installed the OS update that they pushed out today ? oh and the best way to contact OP support is via the CHAT app. you shouldn't have to monkey w/ the VPN settings. UPDATE: they are about to push out a 4.5.3 hotfix update.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] t2jbird:
Have you downloaded any battery saving applications,? Doze, etc.

I would start uninstalling 3rd party apps, starting with the most recent ones.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] eric0668:
I am on Tmo in the US. I got an update yesterday but none today. Who are you with. Any problems. Do you think it is that APN problem?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jerrywmilton:
I'm on T Mobile and have never had a problem w/ T Mobile and OnePlus (and I've owned EVERY model they have put out). You should not have to touch your APN settings at all. Currently your OP5 should be on Oxygen OS 4.5.2 and they are pushing out an update tomorrow (4.5.3) but I don't think either update has anything to do with your issues. I assume you have your T-mobile Sim card in slot #1 correct ... it will tell you that information under settings> SIM & NETWORK SETTINGS. Below is a screen shot from my OP3T, but the OP5 looks the same. Make sure the Mobile Data is turned on as shown. When all else fails....just do a factory reset and start over. Make sure you are somewhere that has WIFI if you have to do so, makes set up much easier. And again, I only ever have to go to this settings when setting up a new phone if I want to turn on VoLTE, all the other settings are factory set.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] alanjolly123:
most probably a wrong vpn setting. Try gong to settings>more>vpn and delete any vpn listing if there are any
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] eric0668:
Jerry, Alan.....thank you. Jerry my settings are exactly as they are in your pic. I found that Lookout has web browser protection on and when I take it off, it works...sort of. I have used Lookout on many phones and this wasn't an issue. Many say Lookout and similar is not needed?

Well when I went to the VPN setting, a Lookout icon was there, I deleted it.

But my email is not working and I'm not sure how related. TypeApp I cannot set up my account and log in. I was able to log into K9 which I don't prefer, but regardless, I am not getting notifications.

Thanks a lot for your help. As I believe I stated in my post, I am well aware that when people volunteer to help they are taking from their personal time.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jerrywmilton:
Lookout ? I haven't heard of that "lost my phone" app I'm YEARS, haha. Didn't know they were still around. Android has "lost my phone" built in now. Ya don't even have to turn it on now. As for "email" apps...I have always just used GMAIL app. Sounds like you are just having various app setting problems. If you mean actually HEARING notifications ... Make sure your notifications slider is not turned to the middle "do not disturb" setting. The slider of course is on the left side of the phone. It has 3 different positions.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] eric0668:
If does look like app incompatibilities. I am able to get online uninstalled Lookout antivirus. I don't need one? T-Mobile has given us Pro for years
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] dochummer:
Ok, so this is my wife's phone. After the last OTA update to QE1, she noticed that the WIFI would not turn on. I kinda ignored her for a couple of weeks until she really made a fuss of it. :) When I finally got around to it I also noticed that "CUSTOM" was present in the phone information area as well as upon bootup. I've searched XDA as well as other sites and tried everything I could think of but nothing has helped. I cannot mess with any WIFI settings because it will not turn on at all so I can't even access the menu. Neither Sprint nor Samsung will touch the phone because they claim I rooted it. I didn't. I have factory reset it numerous times with no luck. I have ODIN'd the software for a full reset and used all older software versions even. Following Sprint's own software updates, no luck. I have used the Samsung SmartSwitch program on the computer to also do a full reset to factory multiple times with no luck. The Samsung rep at the local Best Buy even tried it. The only thing that a full reset helps with is getting rid of the "CUSTOM" notification until you reboot the phone. It doesn't fix WIFI.

Has anyone had experience with this problem? I am getting ready to root it, but I'm not sure if that will even help. Additionally, the phone currently does not have Sprint service, I had to activate her old phone... So, I don't have access to the internet with the phone unless I reactivate it on an account... I looked at a root option, but it requires wifi...

I'm open to suggestions. Please help.. :(

So I did a little reading and the snapdragon 835 supports the use of LTE-U and all the articles I've read are saying the s8/s8+ are the only phones actually supporting it on tmobile. Also mentioned is a specific "software" matched with the hardware to make it work.

I guess my question is can we get this working on our phones as well?

Hey guys,

So I just got my OP5 today... the first thing I did after taking it out of the box was unlock the bootloader (obviously). I then installed TWRP so I could backup my stock image. Since then I've been fighting with my phone all day because my apps say I don't have an SD card. 1) I can't download apps, 2) I can't take pictures 3) I can't create a folder on my internal storage with the file manager.

I have tried wiping system and wiping data. ( I'm currently on FreedomOS rom since I wanted to try wiping everything ) The weird thing is I was able to download ES file browser, Root Checker, and Titanium backup before the SD card stopped working. Is there any way I can try to fix this??? Kinda worried I received a defective unit.

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] stefcio007:
Hi,

I have a KGL unit and this adapter plugs into my CANbus decoder box. http://imgur.com/a/z2CCI

It has AUX in but the main RCA harness already has an AUX in input. What exactly is this one for and what wires are going to the big plug on the end? I have nowhere to plug it into in my car.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] etulio:
Your picture shows a CANBUS adapter. You plug the large connectors to:

Harness Connector from car.

Radio connector.

Headunit

And the extra wires and connectors will provide the extra functions: Backup video in, BACK, Amplifier, illumination, SWC,... If there is an extra AUX, it might be because your car has a custom AUX input in Glove box or other place, and this connector allows to plug directly this car cable to the headunit.

CANBUS are car dependent, there is no one size fits all, so this decoder has to be made specifically for your car model.

I got a Google Nexus 7 WIFI ONLY tab and it was in non operating condition by the time I received

Somehow managed to turn on by boosting the battery for a few hours. It turned on but struck on Google

in the middle of the screen and with a lock symbol at the bottom,

Then Flashed "bootloader-grouper-4.18.img" through fastboot mode and flashed the "nakasi-jdq39-factory-c317339e" factory image

it turned on and stuck at screen to unlock. I asked my friend for the password to enter the main screen,he told me what he remembered

(infact he too forgot the password). It did not work

Then flashed TWRP 3.1.1-0 through fast boot mode and then I found so many custom ROMs on this site and for any version, I am getting the error shown as Error opening '/data/media' (no such file or directory)

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vsrkmurthy:
Most unfortunate. Nobody is there to help on this ?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
YOu have installed bootloader version 4.18 while the latest bootloader version for Nexus 7 is 4.23 which means you have an outdated bootlaoder installed on your device while TWRP 3.1.1 is the latest version available supporting android 7.x. I am not sure but this already might cause some issues. Additionally there were some changes in handling /data/media and /sdcard/internal/

To get out of your situation you should either install a factory image with a current (4.23) bootloader (but be aware that there are some factory images out which have a buggy bootloader (!))

Otherwise you could install a working bootloader 4.23 and TWRP 3.1.1 using fastboot and and then a custom ROM based on Android 7.x
