It's easy to flash a stock ROM and turn it back into a fully stock phone where everything works right.

This thread will bring you up to a stock 20I

https://xdaforums.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/stock-h830-20i-rom-flashable-zips-imgs-t3609735

If you want to root it / install TWRP, etc etc...you want 20a. So use this thread

https://xdaforums.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/stock-h830-20a-rom-flashable-zips-imgs-t3511294

You will lose the SIM unlock because the SIM unlock was achieved using that bogus 20i_un ROM (old school way to do that and not preferred because it's temporary)

Everything works fine once you do that. But I don't know if it can be 're-unlocked'. I'm on T Mobile so I don't care. The t mobile unlock app MIGHT still work after 40 days like it's supposed to, but I haven't had it for 40 days so I don't know.

In the same context, can anyone comment on phones being bought from BuySpry on eBay? Have they all been brand new, unmodified ones or will we face any problem down the line like locked bootloaders, sim locks and that sort of thing. I just bought one and its on its way
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] Azul Baseem:
Just to put it out there I brought this device on JET.com and I have the same April security H83020i_un. The order was fulfilled by Wireless Boss meaning that's who shipped it so watch out for them as well.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
I think they are all like that. I purchased one for my neighbor and one for myself(to use as second device). I flashed it with 20i version and it is the same, but sim unlock went away and phone is locked. I am with T-Mobile and didn't mind it at all.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] fabiansc:
Just FYI, to all who bought his or her phone from eBay, I just talked to LG today, we have no warranty on our devices. They don't provide warranty to devices that were purchased from eBay.

FML :(
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] harrychang:
I think you can still get warranty you just need to flash the stock rom. You can use the imei number to check the production date. Lg gives 15 months warranty from the production date. I got warranty service a couple months back from a defective g5 i bought from ebay. I just used the imei number and the customer rep checked if it was still under warranty
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] Rohden111:
Can anyone tell me if H830T bought from BuySrpy on eBay will update (to nougat and get patches) on Metro PCS network?
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] Skipjacks:
If you leave it like it is out of the box, no. It will definitely not. It has a custom ROM on there so no OTA update will work.

If you flash an official ROM using the LG UP tool (which is INSANELY EASY) then it will get the updates on the T Mobile network. I suspect it will get updates if you're on the Metro PCS network too as it's really just looking for a web connection, not service network. But I can't 100% confirm that as I haven't tried it.

I personally flashed my BuySpry phone to official ROM 20a and immediately got the notifications to update the phone via OTA to official T Mobile releases.

So once you flash the official ROM it's like you've undone whatever BuySpry did to the phone and it's essentially brand new again.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] Rohden111:
Thank you Skipjacks.

I looked up your link (on how to flash official ROM) from above post and indeed it looks easy.

I guess only question I still have would be if sim-locked T Mobile LG G5 will work on Metro PCS... :D
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] Skipjacks:
I don't know. But call T Mobile. They'll know about the T Mobile phone on Metro PCS thing.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] fabiansc:
Thanks for your response!

When I try to use their mobile repair service, they want to see the receipt.

Did it work out for you with a receipt form eBay or did you found a way to circumvent it? :)

I'm not sure they're going to give me service on it, but I just noticed yesterday that my camera rear glass is broken.

I don't know how since I didn't drop the phone or anything.

Regardless, knowing the warranty works is important for me :)
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] chaihg:
OK i spoke to LG and they said warranty is available if 1) Its 15 months from date of manufacture for which they check IMEI 2) 1 year from date of purchase for which they need proof with receipt. So when I gave my IMEI they said it is under warranty. Hopefully I wont need it. But if it comes to that, I will attach their repair slips that came in the box and give eBay receipts. Have also mailed the seller to ask for proof of purchase lets see.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] harrychang:
Use the live chat. You just have to give the csr the imei. They did not ask me for the receipt. If they ask Just say you lost the receipt then they will go off the imei to check the production date. I tried doing it on the website but it wouldnt let me continue without uploading a receipt. I did the live chat and the csr was able to generate an rma and email me a return label
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
Any ideas if we can flash a generic US unlocked firmware onto H830 device? I would like to see if it will unlocked the phone as after flashing T-Mobile's firmware it got sim locked.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] 454:
When dealing with LG for warranty work never mention it's an ebay purchase. Without a receipt the LG warranty period is 15 months from the date of manufacture. Also ensure the OEM ROM is loaded.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] jm98:
I just purchased one. I'll get it on August 6th

I'm from El Salvador, so you are telling me that if I try to downgrade my phone to root it, I'll be T-mobile only? :confused: :(

and if I do root it, can it be unlocked again with one of those unlocking boxes?
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] pbassjunk:
Uppercut has Trojan:Win32/Dynamer!ac in it. Listed as severe.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] LittleKing7:
I ordered this phone and downgraded to 20a, so I could root it and flash a custom rom.

When doing the downgrade/rooting it locked the carrier lock to T-Mobile USA.

I wiped everything and reinstalled 20i, but it was still locked to T-Mobile USA.

Since I am in Canada this is a huge problem for me.

I ended up disputing it at paypal due to not selling a genuine unlocked device.

I will keep you updated, let me know if you figure out how to unlock the carrier lock.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] Skipjacks:
Don't forget to dispute with your credit card company too. They likely have better protections than PayPal.

And don't forget to leave negative feedback for the dishonest seller on ebay

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazreath:
Hello everyone,

A friend of mine gave me a S4 mini (l9095) which is bootlooping. He told me that it was on CM 11 before this occured.

I can't boot to download mode, or recovery mode.

Is there something I can do to save it ? :/

Resolved !

I was using the wrong combination to boot in download mode : it is power + VolUp + Home

I flashed a recovery img with odin (find it here : https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2364980).

The original OS was so crappy (CM 11, no gapps, no wifi, no bluetooth etc) that i decided to change to lineage 14.1 !

Hope that this can help someone out ! :)

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] anmar21:
Hi everyone!

I've noticed a strange issue on my OP5. It seems to loose root privilege for certain apps:

- AdAway stops block ads after a while.

- Better Battery Stats is not able to load reference anymore while it was just working fine.

However other rooted apps like Kernel managers or Titanium Backup work just as expected. I'm using Magisk 13.3 and the manager shows that I'm still rooted. I'm running OOS 4.5.6 (but had the same issue on previous versions as well) by the way.

I do not have this issue on my N6P, might be OOS that blocks apps to interfere at system level?

Thanks!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] azeem40:
This isn't an issue with root.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] anmar21:
- Adaway: ads are blocked when on Wi-Fi but not on data so I checked my APN settings and removed my carrier proxy. Solved.

- Better Battery Stats: not 100% sure but I think it's blocked by doze.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] minealex2244:
It is finally here, just for you, AOSP 7.1 users: a mod to get surround sound on your S6 :D

I'm presenting to you my work: Aldeon Surround Sound

Download the attachment, go to /system/etc and rename the existing mixer_paths_0.xml to mixer_paths_0.xml.bak then copy the new mixer_paths_0.xml and change the permissions to rw-r--r-- or 0644.

It won't damage your earpiece so keep calm ;)

Features:

- louder than stock

- left and right channels

- better for utilisation in landscape

To download on mobile just use Chrome, long press on attachment and click "Download link".

To adjust the volumes:

- open /system/etc/mixer_paths_0.xml

- search for "Output volume stage" then look at the "gain-media-speaker" path

- decrease or increase by 2 or more (not recommended) the "46" and "36" values (2 values for HPOUT3 and 2 for AIF4TX) to the values you want

Don't ask me "Does this mod work on XYZ ROM?". The answer is "I don't know, test and report!".

It should be compatible with all models. If you have the Canadian version, download the second attachment and remove that " (w8)" from its name.

Compatible with all 7.1 ROMs.

Reported to be compatible with S7

If you want to use this in your ROM, give me the proper credits and you are done.

Credits to [MENTION=6114446]AlexisXDA[/MENTION] for his original work on the 7.0 Surround Sound. After converting his changes to a "patch" I was able to apply that "patch" to our mixer_paths_0.xml. It needed a lot of testing.

[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] MMunir:
How do I change its permission?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] minealex2244:
Wow that's amazing! :D The bottom speaker issue is just a limitation.

Use Solid Explorer then long press on the file, click Properties, then Attributes and check all the read permissions then click Apply.

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] adiel91:
Hi Guys,

I Hope I'm posting in the correct forum - if not, forgive me.

I've just received my Mi 6 mobile phone, and I wish to unlock its bootloader.

I've connected a Mi account to it and tried using Mi Unlock, but I get:

"Binding time is too short, Less than 72 hours"

Which is correct, phone was bound to Mi account only 2-3 hours ago, but I need to unlock ASAP -

Since I'm going on a long vacation in 2 days, and I want to prepare all needed things in my phone before that.

Is there any way around this waiting time?

Earlier version of Mi Unlock doesn't work (forces you to upgrade to latest version)

The current version I'm using: 2.2.624.14

Any help is much appreciated,

Thanks!

What is your carrier? I recently switched to T-mobile (GSM) from Verizon (CDMA) on my vs985 with rr 5.8.3 35B bootstack. I should have full 2G, 3G, 4G, and LTE support, but I get a "no sim card" in quick settings:

https://frequencycheck.com/carrier-compatibility/B3jDu9/lg-g3-vs985-lte-a-lg-b2/t-mobile-united-states

Others have also confirmed support, but they might be on untouched stock firmware and roms.

My SIM isn't recognized, so I heard the following (which I'm about to try):

https://xdaforums.com/verizon-lg-g3/development/xdabbeb-s-vs980-2-0-0-t3231279

1. Flash xdabbed 3.1.1

2. Do a full wipe

3. Flash lineage or whatever ROM you want

4. Flash gapps

5. Flash 35b bootstack (modem includes)

6. Wipe cache /davilk then reboot and it should fix it.

Now that I remember, I never flashed xdabbed 3.1.1 firmware because I assumed it was a custom ROM, but anyways I still have everything working without it, except for this recent switch of mine to T-mobile from Verizon.
