[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
Well, the LG G3 isn't really better than my Moto Turbo/Moto Maxx XT1225. You just bought the wrong Quark (Verizon model). Mine has free bootloader unlock.

LG G3 only has Snapdragon 801 vs Quark Snapdragon 805.

Plus, my XT1225 has 64GB internal storage.

Yes, the LG G3 does have laser-focus, rear OIS camera and it was a great phone.

I am an LG fan -- having dealt with LG Nexus 5 for me and my wife, having a couple of LG G2 as backups, and heavily customizing other LG G2 and LG G3 for friends. I even won a free LG G4 in summer of 2015, sold it still new in the box, and bought my third Moto XT1225.

But there are NOT bumped recoveries for LG G4, LG G5, LG G6. Those days are gone. LG does allow bootloader unlock on some variants, but if you bought the Verizon model of any of those, you would be in the same situation you are now. Bootloader LOCKED.

I am keeping track of the LG V30 rumors. A bunch of us have been discussing 2017 phones over in the OTHER Quark forum. Yeah, there's other ROMs, a custom kernel, other goodies over there that even Droid Turbo owners can use, if they unlock their bootloader. But the LG V30 may be the first phone in 3 years to really catch eye.

I bought a verizon samsung Note 3 one year ago and successfully unlocked its bootloader by adb commands .

But Motorola phones are totally different .

.

I dont really care as much about bootloader of droid turbo . I do like the stock marshmallow . Even tried the updated moto camera but the result was same as stock camera . I can still delete bloatware and do some fun by temprooting it with autoinintroot :)

.

Hopefully , Motorola will release nougat update for this beast :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
Well, we were discussing LG phones. Specifically the NEWER LG phones -- like LG G4, LG G5, LG G6. I said if you bought Verizon models of those newer LG phones you would be out of luck, because "bumped recovery" (this topic) only applies to LG phones, and even then only to OLDER LG phones.

You were lucky there was an exploit for Verizon Note 3. Discovered by the one of the same guys on the Sunshine team, before they went to the paid app model. This guy below recompiled it, but still credited the original dev:

[Official] Note 3 Verizon Bootloader Unlock

https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galax...cial-note-3-verizon-bootloader-t3359370/page1

Note 3 is a much older device, from 2013 -- with only Snapdragon 800, 1080p resolution. Even the early 2014 LG G3 had Snapdragon 801 with 1440p resolution. Whereas our late 2014 Quarks have Snapdragon 805 and 1440p resolution.

Sunshine started the paid app model because people pledged bounties for bootloader unlock, but then weren't paying up. Some people were pledging evenhundred of dollars on a hot new phone -- then months later when bootloader unlock came, they had convenient amnesia or had moved on to other phones.

Here was the one of the bootloader unlock bounty threads in this forum:

[BOUNTY] - Unlock our Bootloader / Root the Turbo!

https://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo/general/bounty-unlock-bootloader-root-turbo-t2927958

Go read some of those posts and laugh. There were other threads started also, but that was the main one. Some people pledged $100, even $125 for this phone. Well, guess what, it's only $25. It's a bargain! ;)

But it took a year of effort and bricked Droid Turbos for Sunshine team to unlock the bootloader for the Droid Turbo. So, for people who take really want bootloader unlock for Droid Turbo, well it's $25. If you don't want to pay, buy another Quark like the XT1250 or XT1225 that doesn't need Sunshine to unlock the bootloader.

Research the phone before you buy and there's no complaints. This phone has been out since late 2014, and all the facts about it (like locked bootloader and needing paid Sunshine) are well-known. Personally, I won't buy a phone I can't root and install custom recovery, and I will research first before buying If root/custom recovery method (in this case, bootloader unlock) costs $25, I would factor that into the purchase decision. (But I don't buy Verizon phones, so I've never had to pay.)

No, Motorola isn't giving Quark official Motorola Nougat update. The

list of Motorola phones getting Nougat

has long been published.

Motorola didn't even give ALL the Quarks official Marshmallow (XT1250 was left off), so they sure aren't giving us Nougat. But there's half a dozen Nougat custom ROMs available, thanks to XDA devs:

LG has carrier unlocked LG G6 variants which qualify for bootloader unlock code. The U.S. unlocked version would work on Verizon.

Hello XDA friends, sorry if I'm making a mistake about the post and sorry for my English I'm going through my situation in Portuguese and English

I followed the forum xda for a long time as a visitor I always found solutions to my problems here but now the situation complicated and I had to do this post

I have a Galaxy win duos (GT-I8552b) also known as Grand Quattro

It was in softbrick it did not start the android anymore it went into download mode so I downloaded a rom and went to the odim just like anyone else would. And then it was there that my dilemma began in the middle of the process an error occurred I tried to start again without restarting the device more without success so I had to take and put the battery of the device only when I did this automatically I left the device in hardbrick (in lay terms No bios or no bootloader so to speak). Connecting the device to the computer recognized a device without driver. To install the driver and it appeared cualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 until then I know that I have to reinstall the bios / bootloader in the device again for some type of flashtools I already did it in a motorcycle and a moto x2 with hardbrick more for that device in question Samsung the GT-i8552b I can not find anything on the internet to download and do the procedure so I came here to ask the help of the friends that several times have already saved me! I hope you can help me.

I'm grateful already!

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MGREX:
I'm assuming custom ROM here since we didn't even get official nougat and the idiots at asus are already planning the ZF4 so they don't care about supporting the ZF2 and soon neither will they care about the ZF3

The question is if the current maintainers for the ZF2 will even bother to continue support when Lineage 15 (android O) comes out

Didn't they drop support before nougat? and yet we got it

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] kafte:
Using Samsung Switch

All hope is not lost. You may have done what I just did and tried to flash a root exploit inappropriate to you phone's firmware version. At this time, the latest factory firmware that you can revert to is rev02 (files with the string "G935TUVU4BQB1" in their name). If you're on the latest T-Mobile update, the you've got factory rev03 firmware, for which no online release is available. Basically, T-Mo users can't restore if we try to root and screw up. But don't panic yet. Hopefully you have a computer to install Samsung Switch on.

1) Download and install Switch, and start it up with your phone unplugged. When it shows the animation of connecting your phone, do so. It probably will list it as an unrecognised device, ignore that.

2)Next to the minimise button in the upper right, select "more", then "Emergency software recovery and initialization". Go to the second tab in the window that pops up, labeled "Device initialization". If you've got the T-Mobile version of the S7 Edge, your model number is SM-G935T (which I'm assuming since we're in the T-Mo subforum). If it rejects the model number, ensure that your internet connection is working; I experienced network issues at the same time and drove myself nuts for a few minutes.

3) It then asks for your device serial number. If you know that, great. Otherwise, unplug your device. Perform a safe reboot by holding Home+Volume Up+Power, and release when a blue screen comes up informing you that loading custom OSes is dangerous. At this point, push the Home key (which the phone should say leads to barcode). The barcode screen will have your serial number on it, write it down. Safe boot the phone again (Home+Volume Up+Power), but this time press Volume Up to get back to download mode. Go back to Switch, which reset itself when you power-cycled the device, go back to that "more" menu, to the second tab. Input your model again, followed by the serial you just wrote down.

4) At this point, Switch should start downloading a pretty big file. If it's anything like the size of the other factory firmwares I tried downloading (the rev02 ones that won't work, with the G935TUVU4BQB1 in the names), then it should be around 2GB. Wait for that to finish, and it'll start pushing it to the phone automatically. Afterward, your phone has been factory reset, and will ask you to sign in with a Google account that has been previously linked to it. This will most likely be the one you were using before you tried to root. From there, it's like doing the first time setup of a new phone.

Sorry my recommendation is a month late for you, I only just had the same problem tonight. We should have been on the same firmware version, though, so if you're still looking for a solution, then give this a go. Hopefully it also helps people who get stuck in a similar conundrum. Good luck!

1. buy it - that will get rid of the nag screen plus give you one of the best contact managers out there (i've tried loads and found it's the best for me)

2. Search the kaiser section of the forums for cube ( I tried vista cube that was pretty good)

3. Something like SPB keyboard

First of all welcome!

I've got no clue about the friend finder program, but if you do a search you can probably find info about it and how to install a cube. Search, search, search!

Is there a way to unlock it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] godpowerrr:
Theres a search bar at the top of the forum. IF you type Sprint S7 Edge followed by what you want to search, you will find many threads for root... pick thats most recent.. no more downgrading, or I don't believe anyone wants to because of the horrible interaction of the firmware(s).

Anythings possible right...though Any random joe isn't going to figure it out..ever. This is meticulous and comprehensive work.

I think you should read up first before posting a thread that's been made numerous times.... If [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] isn't cracking it then I don't see it happening quickly by another dev or expert without reassurance of another device if it turn into paperweight.

Read Chainfire's impressive but yet disappointing hypothesis/post regarding what you exactly want to know.. hes not saying he can't do it but its a matter of user agreement and not practical on the average root we all see-spread out.

This isn't just the S7 Edge.. Samsungs Devs are real aholes but also packed tight with security.... hence they aren't really doing anything wrong but pissing off those(we) who are doing the opposite of the agreement we are all 'supposed' to oblige;

Chainfire, "The main reason I do not feel like continuing trying, is because this appears dangerous."

If you don't think wasting almost near a grand is dangerous then learn how to do it.

I was thinking about donating $500 and hopefully he can screw up a device for me(hopefully not lol) and break the bootloader. This will also help figure out other Samsungs.

Although, IDK if he'd respond because he's out there in terms of Developers. The Developer. Money talks and i think that's a fair amount.

It's the best answer to your question

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bucs9115:
Attached below is a picture of my Hardware activity while playing Power Rangers Legacy Wars which admittedly is a graphically intense games but I'm worried that the temperature of the GPU and or CPU is getting too high. I want to make sure my Note 4 isn't getting too hot here is the picture:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bucs9115:
I need somebody's help. The coolest my Note 4 seems to get is about 53 degrees C and that's when I turn it on after it's been asleep on my desk. It is not a rogue app or anything like that because I have done both Factory resets and I have install custom roms, so everything has been factory reset multiple times. The water damage sticker indicates no water damage whatsoever. I know phones can get hot when gaming, my Note 4 gets to anywhere between 70 to 85 degrees Celsius and I am just wondering if that's normal I reduced my screen resolution to 720P and disabled two cores of the quad core processor and it does not seem to help one bit. Is this temperature normal or do I need to get rid of the phone?

PS when doing normal browsing it seems to hover around 60 to 67 degrees C

And the battery does not seem to go over 37 degrees Celsius
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadeau:
If you're worried about high temps during games I'd recommend turning the max GPU frequency down. It significantly reduced my temps and I didn't notice a significant difference in gameplay.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bucs9115:
Thank you for your response. I have done that and it does not seem to make a difference I'm still getting CPU and GPU temperatures in the high 70s to low 80s
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadeau:
Would you mind posting a screenshot as above with the same overlay? How long are you playing before it gets to this point? Have you adjusted throttling temperatures?

Edit: Saw your other post and wanted to add some troubleshooting. When you open up TWRP and do a file transfer or backup how hot does your phone get? Mine would get pretty hot to the touch, but I don't remember it getting above 80 C.....

The temps you showed in the other thread are definitely not "normal" from my experience with day-to-day use. Did you ever look at the task monitor app I linked to?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bucs9115:
Sure I can take another screenshot. How do you want it? I did check out that app and the only thing that I saw was that it seems as though my CPU cores were always running pretty high but I didn't see any applications taking up and unusual amount of processing power. The temperature ranges to about 60 as soon as I open a game for the most part and continues to slowly rise from there. Yes that's about the temperature I get everytime I go into TWRP. I don't even have to be doing anything I'm just open TWRP work and that's about the temperature I get
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadeau:
Sorry, I posted that before I noticed your updated screenshot. I was just curious if limiting the GPU made any difference.

Honestly I'm running out of software suggestions. Do you have some sort of case/screen protector that could be affecting it? How hot us your screen (qualitatively)? I just looked at an old video I made and my phone was 52 C in TWRP, which isn't too far off from yours so it might be fine (as I said my phone screen would get too hot to touch at times during intense games). But if you look at kernel adiutor and see that the CPU rarely drops to the lowest frequency/deep sleep there's probably something wrong (unless your screen is constantly on). You could try a different kernel or governor, or check an app like gsm battery monitor to see if GPS or something us hogging CPU time, but I don't really have any more ideas. (Although I did used to cool off my screen with a wet towel when it got really hot;))

Just to confirm: you're running a Verizon note 4 right? (Have to ask)

You've updated the modem to the correct version through Odin?

You're on the proper bootloader?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bucs9115:
First of all thank you for your help once again. I don't know how to measure how hot my screen gets I don't have any tools that would allow me to do that I do have a case and screen protector on but it doesn't seem to be any worse than it was before I put them on. Yes I am on the correct bootloader and I do have a Verizon Note 4 running the nseven ROM and I am on the correct modem. I'm willing to do anything at this point. This is the second note 4 I've had with this issue and I just want to be able to use it. I want to be able to play my games and stuff you know. So if there's a literally anything I can do . plus I don't really have money for a replacement
