Come on guys! I'm sure somebody can help... Take a minute and write a reply to help us!!! :crying::crying::crying::crying:

Please share where the f**k is the 2g/3g/4g cellular antennas PLEASE !!!!
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Trudi:
Nobody here is engineer at LG. And nobody here has any real solution for GPS / 2G / 3G fix. Looks like GPS breaks again even after sending it to repair. This LG G5 has been the crappiest phone I ever bought. I'll be buying a G6 soon.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] ChristopherXI:
The 3pins in the video are for the Volume buttons. The REAL GPS antenna are the ones next to the headphone jack.

So far I experimented that the cell antennas lies at the top of the phone since covering the top-middle section of the phone Cell signal drops.

Maybe the plastic shim you put in is too thick that it's interfere with other internal components, like the black RF antenna ribbon that runs across the top section of the G5. See if removing the plastic piece resolves the problem
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] thewhisper:
Hi guys,

Just want to let you know that I gave the phone to a service and they found out that I broke some of the pins even without noticing. That is why this problem occured! They were able to replace them so now my phone is live and kicking again with full network coverage on all bands (2g,3g,4g). So happy with it :) ! So go ahead and bring your phones to a repair service center and make sure it will be a good one! First I went to affiliate LG service and they told me that most of the things are unrepairable and will have to change the whole motherboard which costs as a new phone so I lost any hope fixing it but later a friend of mine recommended another service where the guy told me he will inspect all the parts of the phone and will call me if he finds anything suspicious or broken. So I left the phone and after 2 days he called back and told me that 4 pins were broken and 2 more damaged and bent badly. He also told me he thinks that if we change them the problem should be solved so I agreed and he did fantastic work on the phone and now works as new !

So don't be disappointed and find a good service where they can try to help you. Also when you are doing some mods to your phones please be very careful!! I confess that I wasn't careful while doing the mod - I was at work and even didn't had the necessary tools for the task, also the colleagues were around and distracting me so I wasn't able to focus entirely on the task and did more harm than good! Good luck !

Thread may be closed, problem solved ! :)

Flashable fix for call audio that is kernel independent and will patch International based ROMS to work on your T/W8 variant.

You still need a kernel that is T/W8 compatible flashed for this patch to work.

Suport Android 7.0 Nougat and All Base Rom Nougat 7.0 Port

Download : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634786149

Thanks for making this available, but I need some clarification.

Will this work for the US SM-G920T? Or is it only compatible with the Canadian W8 version of the device?

Also, which compatible kernel is recommended?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cargohook:
7.1?

This does not seem to work on Nougat 7.1.x (LineageOS 14.1) on my US SM-G920T. Instead, I get stuck on the boot animation, which just keeps cycling interminably. Is there a way to edit it so that it will work its magic with Nougat 7.1.x?

Hi, in my Honor 7 the GPS doesn't receive any satellite. The localization service is set to high accuracy. I've tryed with GPS Test app and also with google maps.

The GPS search icon appears on the status bar only 2-3 seconds and then disappear.

It always worked perfectly, but I don't use the GPS frequently and I don't know if this problem happened after the B390 update or not.

I've also tryed a factory reset without results.

What can I do?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] 19willi72:
Hello,

with the USB to Serial Adapter, connected to the Phone its possible to open a Terminal Programm and have access to the for example Cisco Console.

I look for a solution to have remote access to this console.

I am not looking for a "Remote Desktop" solution like. Teamviewer, etc.

I have in mind something like usb-device connected via IP to my windows pc, or terminal-server that translate the RS232-connection to IP and I can access via Telnet, SSH, etc.

Has anyone an idea how to do this ? ...or is there yet an APP for this, I havent found yet ?

Setup:

[Router](RS232)<->[Serial-to-USB-Adapter]<->[Android-Device] - - - Network (Wifi/Internet] - - - [Windows-PC](Terminal-Programm like TerraTerm/Putty)

Kind regards

Willi

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] AllSmokeEm:
Uhmm probaly an adapter but you need to figure out the color combo for the wires on the connectors and the right port and frequency.

Rs232 is a print input for livelogging and configuring a print.

Ssh over rs232 ternimal is mostly disabled.

So ues rs232 to usb or rj45 aka lan is possible with these conditions.

For pc

Right usb com. For usb.

Right adapter settings like ip and dns for lan adapter.

In putty

Right port.

Right ip. Aka print identyfier. Ussualy can be find by combining specific nummers on the print

Right plugin running on win7 and 10. Audio recorder ussualy works.

Right wiring order in the 2 connectors. Ussualy on the adapter you can use dipswitches or program it on the pc.

Then u will have admin control over all things the print supports.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bennyyen:
Try to uninstall the ActiveSync, restart PC and reinstall ActiveSync again.

On your Uni, go to bootloader, will display Serial, plug in USB Cable, will display USB. Run NOID flash program to reflash your Uni.

If still can recogniced your Uni, pls try to change other USB port or other PC (Win XP).

:)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] pichas0:
I think I have nice paper weight

Have tryed to get the uni in boot mode but it shoes balck screen with no boot mode at all.have also tryed on my laptop but as soon as I plug it in it say device not recognised..I did try to recover from a bad flash but with no luck..

Cant think of any more solutions.........
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nianhua:
Go to the HTC offical site and download an offical rom for Universal.Go to bootloader and get connected to your PC,no matter it is recogized or not,run the exe file you just downloaded,it will flash the rom in your device.When upgrading finished,power on ,and you may flash any rom you like to your device now.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] coolbeans252:
It might useful to get a fully charged battery and to try going into bootloader mode, if that fails, then you your best bet have to send it back to your vendor to get it repaired
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] pichas0:
thats the problem.....

thats the problem...cant get the uni in bootmode....I do press light+power+reset and the screen is dead....tryed to charge the baterie just in case but the light on the uni starts to blink red and thats it.......I'm getting the impression that the uni became a paperweigth......sadly.....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bennyyen:
I think should empty the battery, try to charge your battery over 12 hrs or borrow other people battery to test can go in to bootloader mode or not ?

If can go, try to check the USB Connection at your Activesync and than to flash, or try to uncheck the USB Connection at your Activesync and than flash.

My Uni also same like this problem before, my laptop got 2 USB port. 1st port i try the above mention, still cant recognized my Uni. So i try 2nd port, and Uni was recognized. ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] pichas0:
done it all....no joy

have done all that sugested but still no joy..I think that during the room flashing a power supply problem on the pc caused this....could it be that the uni became a paper weigh due to the room flashing ???If there was a power supply problem.....Is there anyway to recover the uni from a bad room flashing???

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snayak2001:
Dear All,

I went through the book "XDA Developers' Android Hacker's Toolkit".

Liked it. But got little confused too since I lack good knowledge in Android voo doo.

Is there any document or post where Rooting and Installation concepts common to all phones are discussed in detail?

Such as...

To my knowledge, we have three major pieces of software in any Android phones.

1. bootloader (mostly locked)

2. recovery

3. Android OS

1. How to replace each software when phone is not hard bricked but Android OS not working?

2. How to replace each software when phone is alive and Android OS is working?

3. If bootloader itself is corrupted?

4. If bootloader is fine but recovery corrupted?

5. If bootloader and recovery is fine but Android OS is corrupted?

6. Do installable binary differs depending on method?

etc etc...

Sincerely,

Srinivas Nayak
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prathameshsd:
1. How to replace each software when phone is not hard bricked but Android OS not working?

- By using fastboot/download mode and flashing stock firmware (system+boot+recovery+bootloader) using PC

- Here either /system, /data or /boot will be corrupted.

2. How to replace each software when phone is alive and Android OS is working?

- By using fastboot or download mode and flashing stock fastboot firmware using PC.

- By using recovery mode and flashing recovery firmware zip using TWRP.

- By using ADB and flashing recovery firmware zip using ADB sideload.

3. If bootloader itself is corrupted?

- Here the fastboot mode wont be accessible

- By using emergency download mode (EDL)and flashing stock fastboot firmware using PC

- Also known as EDL mode for Qualcomm devices and download mode for Samsung and MediaTek devices

4. If bootloader is fine but recovery corrupted?

- Here the recovery mode wont be accessible.

- By using fastboot/download mode and flashing stock fastboot firmware using PC.

5. If bootloader and recovery is fine but Android OS is corrupted?

- Here the /system or /boot will be corrupted.

- By using fastboot/download mode and flashing stock fastboot firmware using PC.

- By using recovery mode and flashing recovery firmware zip using TWRP.

6. Do installable binary differs depending on method?

Didnt get your question. Which installable binary are you referring to?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snayak2001:
Dear SharkcpN,

My hearty thanks for your valuable time and kind help.

It is very clear and concise. Simply loved it.

If you get little time, kindly help me in some silly doubts I always get confused about.

Here we say, stock firmware = (system+boot+recovery+bootloader)

What is the difference between boot and bootloader?

Is boot = vmlinuz? and bootloader = grub?

Can I draw an analogy of a Linux system with Android where, bootloader = grub, boot = vmlinuz, system = init, and recovery = another small rescue linux? Am I mistaken?

I was referring to this;

in one method we say, "stock fastboot firmware",

in another method we say "recovery firmware zip".

In these two, what are these binaries?

Are they different things for different partition?

I mean, in one method what we flash, goes to /boot, in another method what we flash, goes to /system, in another method what we flash, goes to place of bootloader, in another method what we flash, goes to /recovery, or all the time, we flash only one thing that consistes of contents of all the partitions(bootloader, /boot, /system, /recovery)?

Also sometimes I read *.img file used in fastboot command, and sometimes *.zip used from recovery mode. Are the binaries same but only differently packaged?

How can we reach download mode in Samsung/MediaTek phones and EDL mode in Qualcomm phone?

I know only VolumnDown+Power to enter into fastboot mode... :(

Rest all of your lines are very clear since you have used all our words very consistently throughout your answer.

From all my reading of Android world, I come across a lot of inconsistency of words which resulted in a lot my confusion. This may partly have aggravated due to my lack of deep knowledge.

Kindly help.

Sincerely,

Srinivas Nayak
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prathameshsd:
What is the difference between boot and bootloader?

Is boot = vmlinuz? and bootloader = grub?

Yes the /boot partition contains the Linux Kernel and the bootloader /sbl1 contains the code which is executed when the phone is started. Moto, OnePlus devices have a discrete bootloader in which you can select the partition in which you want to boot i.e. /system = Boot normally /recovery = boot into recovery mode or fastboot mode.

Can I draw an analogy of a Linux system with Android where, bootloader = grub, boot = vmlinuz, system = init, and recovery = another small rescue linux? Am I mistaken?

Correct

in one method we say, "stock fastboot firmware",

in another method we say "recovery firmware zip".

In these two, what are these binaries?

Are they different things for different partition?

They are basically the same files packaged differently. The firmware zip refers to the system (OS), boot(kernel), bootloader(grub) and other partitions which came preinstalled on your device.

Fastboot firmware consists of *.img files which are to be directly flashed using the command "fastboot flash <partition_name> <file_name.img" Recovery firmware consists of META-INF folder, system files in the form of system.dat , boot.img and other files. The META-INF folder contains a updater-script which has instructions which tell the recovery to flash file A to partition A, file B to partition B and so on. If the phone is unusable or any partition is corrupted, its better to flash all the partitions of the device in order to ensure the phone is bootable.

How can we reach download mode in Samsung/MediaTek phones and EDL mode in Qualcomm phone?

I know only VolumnDown+Power to enter into fastboot mode

For Samsung devices = Volume Down + Home + Power

MediaTek = shorting contact points on the SoC, Vol Down + Power, each brand implements it differently

Qualcomm = adb reboot edl, fastboot oem edl, Vol Up + Vol Down, shorting contact points on the SoC, Deep Flash Cable if EDL mode is blocked by the brand, again each brand implements it differently

Many thanks SharkcpN.

But it won't be good to disturb you further.

Is there any book, or tutorial, or any document(in any form: whether blog, website etc.) that will give me details in such line? Exactly like you stated things clearly...
