Hey all.. so been reading for 2 straight days.. alot of info on here.. appreciate all the info people post, it helped me root and install twrp on my moto z2 force on TMobile.. I'm in Canada and have a very weird issue if anyone has this I would love to hear it.. So I was able to get TMobile to allow me to use the SIM unlock app to unlock the phone.. worked easy.. but had the issue with sms and mms.. I used adb as stated in the first post and deleted what was said.. well have strange issues... sending sms was no problem and mms sending no problem.. but receiving very erratic.. like winding up a toy.. works great... then quit working.. couldn't receive.. using Textra.. so force stopped and disabled RCSService.. didn't really help.. tried another sim, same network and worked a bit better.. but still erratic receiving.. tried another sim different provider.. same thing.. so.. rooted and deleted totally the summit services and the RCSService app.. works but erratic.. sometimes messages come.. sometimes not.. called my provider, activated a new sim... works a bit better now.. using factory messaging app (I deleted the summit and RCS with uninstaller app as per the root.. opened up a ticket with my provider... so is there any other apps to delete or something.. why I ask is because the new sim that we activated, when I took it out of this z2 and put it into my s8 a popup came up asking me to us RCS and to enter my phone number and say ok..which I didn't do.. when we put back my sim into my s8 that i tried in the z2 it never asked me this question.. odd as Bell here in Canada doesn use the RCS messaging.. and keep in mind I have the 2 deleted on the z2... so i'm wondering if someone can help me get this z2 force to receive messages properly.. also, when i send the messages, the recipient almost immediatley receives the sms or mms.. but when sending back to the z2 force, sometimes even an sms takes a minute.. hope thats not too much typing and hope it all makes sense.. thanks

Got my 8.0 OTA this morning. Sad to say the group messaging bug is still there. Literally the only thing I wanted on the update. Guess I will disable RCS services now since I doubt we'll get another update for a while.

This is a crock totally jacked such a native app and necessary functionality texting of all things is faulty.

Sadly to much work with uncertainty to even keep this phone yet unless you have 800$ for a Galaxy.

Even for non rooted users this is about the most uncommon glitch ever seen in a Android phone .

Even simple minded users who bought this phone don't even have a clue about this .

It should be a immediate fix by MOTO

I would be willing to bet that's why they dropped it to 375 and a free projector pisses me off lol...

It's a great phone but geez .

That rsc.. fix don't work obviously for all and it's unnecessary for some one to have to deal with who has no need or knowledge to hack or delete system files just to "MAYBE FIX it .

[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tidbits:
I think it's because Motorola went with a hybrid system and it won't be fixed until T-Mobile goes to Universal Profile which T-Mobile missed the date they projected 3 times so far.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] androidddaaron:
So they're just gonna let 1000s of people who paid 700+$ or 375$ just deal with this ... This could be almost a epic fail worse then the note 7 battery situation.

All I know is TMobile was advised to replace anyone one free one time and customer are to keep the Nougat update only until further notice

But seemingly this has been a issue since the phone release regardless of software .

What everyone gonna do ditch the phone now? Texting is 2nd most use and necessity on a phone next to phone calls .

If this were a camera issue oh well but it's huge .

[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] actomox:
Has anyone successfully, and without subsequent issues, rooted the g4 XT1622?

I have unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP. Have tried flashing two separate versions of Super SU (version 2.78 and 2.82) .

Each appears to flash successfully and complete but when rebooting phone stays on a black screen.

I then have to reboot into recovery and restore the Nandroid backup.

I tried Kingroot but that says no solution for this device.

If anyone has managed it I'd be grateful for the detail.

uneed the elemental x kernel to root nougat as far as i know, other wise it wont work

https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/guide-how-root-nougat-moto-g4-plus-t3484672
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Ytim08:
Indeed you are correct. The stock kernel does not have an exploit for root access, that's why SuperSU and Magisk leave you at a black screen upon flashing the zip file. Having any custom kernel should fix the problem(Vegito or ElementalX).
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] actomox:
Thanks - I may be trying to do something wrong but when I tried to flash ElementalX from the app it returned a message that the device needed to be rooted to install ElementalX. I wasn't sure where to go from there.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] libralibra:
yes, i am running rooted G4 (xt1622) with TWRP and super su 2.78 now. as far as I can remember, there is one line of code like 'systemless=true' (or something similar, it's easy to search online) to enter via the Linux terminal. Then it can be rooted successfully. without that line, i got a soft-bricked mogo g4 as well (black screen forever).

it's a shame that the rooted phone cannot install OTA updates at all. I am still on Android 6.0.1 (which is the stock rom and very old). I am planning to restore to stock then upgrade to Nougat recently.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Ytim08:
You must download the latest Elemntal X version for your device and flash via recovery(TWRP)

Just download your devices latest firmware from androidfilehost.com and flash through adb & fastboot or RSDLite

[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] libralibra:
I really appreciate your great help. still confused about the procedure that needs to take:

plan a:

1. go back to ATHENE_MPJ24.139.23.4(the current one, 6.0.1), everything including the stock recovery

2. wait for OTA, update a couple times to the latest nougat

plan b:

1. flash the file from your link which is ATHENE_NPJS25.93-14-4,

2. is this the end?

I do notice the difference in the name: MPJ vs. NPJS, does that matter? I flashed several phones, but never figure out what the names meant.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Ytim08:
MPJ = Marshmallow

NPJS = Nougat

I think flashing last firmware is the best thing to do in your case. I have a batch file you can use if you want
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] libralibra:
thanks for the clarification. please post your batch script for me.

flashing is planned in the next couple of weeks.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Ytim08:
Happy flashing :)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxA_NTGSyBmaWkI2Y1pOMEhUNWM/view?usp=sharing

Note: You do need minimal adb & fastboot files inside flashing folder (You probably already know that but just to be sure)

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] slyger:
so I was given an off contract, paid off, clean IMEI, TMobile locked LG v20 918. from a friend moving out of country From my reading and understanding you need to use the TMobile SIM unlock app to unlock the phone for use on other carriers and in order to use that app successfully you need to be a current TMobile customer with an active SIM.

I'm an ATT customer so I don't have a TMobile SIM handy to try but I tried to do the SIM unlock with my ATT SIM card which did not work. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone and tried a few different ROMs to see what happened but none of those had any effect. The SIM unlock program also wont even run correctly until the phone is fully on stock with a locked bootloader so that's where i'm back to at the moment (on 10j)

Do I have any options other than finding a friend/coworker/etc that has a current TMobile account and SIM to try and use that to carrier unlock the phone? Has anyone had any luck getting someone at a TMobile store to take care of it?

Thanks!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] popwar:
Use a website to buy a code
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] slyger:
I thought about that but from looking, I don't believe that is possible for the newer TMobile phones that have the Sim Unlock application since you need to use that to unlock the phone.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Chance Ill:
It isn't possible. The only way to unlock is through T-MOBILE's app.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] slyger:
Appreciate the answers and that's what I figured. I did a little googling on unlock services and there are a few that claim to provide an unlock still via the unlock app route but charge 150 dollars plus for the service so that would certainly be an expensive gamble that really isn't worth it.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Chance Ill:
I considered going that route myself, but like you said, it really isn't worth it
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] slyger:
Has anyone tried just going to a TMobile store and seeing if an employee will do it?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jasonv31:
Have you considered getting your friend to contact tmo for the unlock ? Since its paid off, they have to provide him the unlock code.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] robathome:
Hi - I have an O2 stellar which I believe is a Kaiser. On my old mini XDA which was a rebadged HTC TyTN of some flavour - when an SMS was received the left LED changed from flashing green to flashing amber - very useful for seeing if there was a text waiting without having to get to the phone, turn it on etc. On this one it doesn't flash amber when an SMS is recevied - stays flashing green - I read the manual which says "Shows Green and Amber lights for HSDPA/UMTS/EDGE/GSM/GPRS standby, message, and network status as well as for notification and battery charging status. Shows a flashing red light when the battery level reaches 5% or lower." which doesn't really tell me if it should flash amber or not - depends on O2's definition of "message".

Anyway - does anyone know a setting or firmware mod that can enable this?

thanks

Rob
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] andaroo:
ok this might seem really obvious, but where you set up the sound notification for a new text/email, theres an option there that says "show message on screen" & "flash light", try clicking that checkbox and restarting your device.

that should work!

my phone is samsung gallaxy s pluse i9001. I wanted to upgrade its android version so I installed a TWRP recovery version 2.1.1 and copy the rom source file into the external sd card.I followed an instruction in a website so I rebooted my phone to the TWRP recovery.in the first step I wiped the cache and factory reset then in the second step I shoud have installed the rom which had been copied into the external sd card but the recovery software didnt read the external card and didnt show any thing of this memory and just read the internal memory.unfortunately this version of TWRP do not support adb sideloader which could help me to copy the rom into the internal memory or copy the higher version of TWRP.I reboot my phone in order to load into its last rom,but it didnt and boot into TWRP.

so I have stucked worse and now,without my phone,I am like medievals.

If I buy the unlocked version from Samsung will I be able to use it on ATT and Verizon networks? Will there be a limitations on what LTE bands that the phone can use?

Then I guess I. Will go with the Verizon version. I have been waiting since they took back my note 7 and now I can hardly wait to fill the void lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mrjmrogers:
I recently chatted with a Verizon representative regarding this very question. I asked two key questions.

"Does an unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note 8 work on Verizon networks?"

Essentially the person told me they needed the phone to determine weather or not it would work on the Verizon network; either the MSIN or IMSI number. My belief is there is, most likely, a better answer elsewhere.

"Does Verizon restrict any features on unlocked phone?"

The Verizon representative told me they don't restrict any features for unlocked phones.

I know this still doesn't answer the question you have. Just know that I, and others, also have the same question(s).

I've also been told that you lose WiFi Calling with unlocked phones on Verizon's network as well. Can anyone confirm this? I know for a lot of people Wifi Calling doesn't matter much, but when cell service is spotty my LG V20 often switches over to WiFi for the duration of the call.

I don't think there are any other Verizon features I use other than WiFi Calling, and I'd hate to lose it. But I also hate all the Verizon bloatware.

I just preordered the unlocked version from Samsung.com as well. http://www.samsung.com/us/galaxy/note8/buy/ It was $960.00 for the Sprint version or $929.99 for Unlocked. I chatted online with customer service and they said the only difference with the Unlocked version was the lack of carrier apps (carrier bloat). Unlocked means Carrier/SIM Unlocked. Unless Samsung had a miraculous change of heart, the bootloader will be locked just like the Snapdragon Note 7, S7, & S8.

There's a US unlocked phone with Snapdragon and single sim, and an international unlocked with Exynos and dual sim.

The unlocked US version isn't dual sim? Ugh. I just ordered this last night. Why the hell do these companies make so many different variants? In my opinion, all US versions should be dual sim.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Dark Jedi:
I am not worried about WiFi calling as hardly used it. If this was dual sim would be perfect as I have ATT and Verizon sims. I could then trade in my V20 get 425 bucks off the note 8.
