[LG G6 Questions and Answers] FlyingPersian:
Hi

I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP as described in the tutorials here. I then also flashed SuperSU. Afterwards I booted into stock Android and it worked. I wanted to do a factory reset so that after reinitializing I could install all my apps automatically. I went into TWRP --> Wipe --> Slide to Wipe. After rebooting it asked me for the pincode to decrypt. Since that didn't work I wiped everything except the SD Card and flashed lineage. Since then, my G6 keeps booting into TWRP. I even tried AquariOS (randomls chosen ROM) and I have the same results. I checked into "backup" in TWRP and the system partition is about 1GB. I then wiped it, and it went down to almost 0 I think. I then reflashed lineage and it was again at almost 1GB. So as it seems it is writing something. I then went into "mount" and system was not selected. I checked it and "mount system partition as read only", rebooted into the system, and it booted into TWRP again, system was unchecked under mount, but the read-only option was still checked. tried the same without the read-only option, same result. So now my G6 keeps mounting into TWRP instead of the ROM.

Any ideas what I can do?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] RicardoSal24:
Format data in recovery, don't wipe. It will disable encryption. Flash stock 14a again and see if you can get it to boot
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] FlyingPersian:
I fixed it, somehow TWRP was messed up. I redownloaded it and reflashed it and then it worked

I know that Jasjam had Pimp My Black for his Hermes Black ROMs (which I used on my old Hermes) and was hoping to find similar fixes for the Polaris/Cruise.

The main annoyance is the SMS confirmation msg/alert. Anyone know how to remove it?

I've tried going into registry but changing the settings there along similar lines to the Hermes achieved nothing.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] phsnake:
Dont know what exactly is Pimp My Black, byt U can try to use "black bars" they are somewhere here, search for it (it makes both bars-top&bottom black)

here try this!!!

use the registry editor of your choice;

HKCU\Control Panel\Notifications\Default\Options

change the dword value to whatever suits your needs.

here are the following dword value and corresponding results:

0 - show icon

1 - show icon and play notification sound

2 - show icon and vibration

3 - show icon and vibration and play notification sound

4 - same as 0

5 - same as 1

6 - same as 3

7 - same as 3

8 - show icon and notification bubble

9 - show icon and play notification sound and show notification bubble

10 - show icon and notification bubble and vibration

11 - show icon and play notification sound and show notification bubble and vibration

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Alcibiade:
Couldn't find anything googling the subject (actually couldn't find any valid solution). It seems it's common to many android phones...

I have over 4,000 contacts and both the contact app fro Samsung or Google contact app (which I installed) have the ver bad habit of quite randomly linking contacts (A lot f them...) and it's sincerely a very big pain. I can of course unlink them one by one but not only it would take ages but also they tend to recombine with some others later.

Question: has anybody found a working way to simply disable/forbid any linking at all? Or even better manage the "smart" (hum...) rules around the merging and select our own. I would be more than happy to link on phone numbers ONLY, so that my Google and whatsapp contact link. But I can't stand this stupid phone linking unrelated contact even within one single account which is expected to be properly maintained already (Such as hundreds of contacts within my google account alone)

To each his own though. I can certainly say if I didn't already own this app by reviews alone i would purchase BK Disabler instead.

All i did was install Gboard, set it up, set it as default, disable Samsung keyboard i honestly never even gave it a thought until i saw your post and when in to check and see if it was syncing or not

App is Package Disabler Pro by policedeveloper

So,

Just recently bought a sprint g955u off of Offer Up.

Being the uber noob I am, I was sold on the story of it being clean, recently paid off and clear for unlocking.

As you can guess, it was not.

Unpaid bills is what i was told.

After a few google searches of unlocking services, I've found that one may not always be able to unlock due to certain circumstances. Like unpaid bills. :rolleyes:

So i have been very hesitant about using them.

As it turns out, the person I bought the phone from happens to be a member of this community. Which is why I am here. So the further I read the more I'm hoping I might actually be able to unlock this phone.

I managed to make it through Sampwnd's root with ease but have hit a roadblock when it comes to unlocking.

Id love to really dive into this phone and maybe actually learn a few things (and god willing maybe even be able to contribute one day!?) but I am just lost.

I'm sure there has to be a new wave/generation of lost noobs heading here, but it was one of your own that brought me here. So please, I ask, help me get my phone working!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] lynxblaine:
If you have written proof the person said it was paid off, tell them you want to return it and have your money back otherwise you will consider small claims court, otherwise at to them you expect to have it paid off. In the UK the person has the debt of the phone attached to them not the phone, if you sell off the phone they come after you for the money, if you refuse they do block the phone though.

[MENTION=8598786]cabg.kepr[/MENTION],

Depending on how you paid for the device (i.e. credit card) you should be able to get a refund. I'm sorry to tell you that if you paid cash, you are SOL. There's no solution.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cabg.kepr:
Ouch. Really??

No flashing special firmware or anything??

But yup, paid cash. Met outside of a Wal-Mart. He lied about being apart of some dev team yada-yada. Told me I would very easily be able to unlock. He even tried to assist but messages would be VERY delayed. And when asked a technical questions he wouldn't reply or would change the subject. Almost 100% sure he's using an app for a phone.

Well yesterday he just quit replying. Which is what brought me here.

Now I see he's offering a free service, on here, to assist people through Team viewer, with rooting and unlocking.

He had me convinced for 3 days (I now realize how stupid I was..) that he would do it. So three separate times he would access through team viewer for hours at a time. And the few times i popped in to watch (been fairly busy) he would be going through websites and settings. When I asked what was up, he would give some weird excuse (and again, I realize how dumb I was being).

He told me he was getting root and unlock ready, when really, he spent hours going through my network settings and what not. Very suspicious. Luckily I was smart enough to only let him on an empty, freshly installed win10. And disconnected all other devices from wifi.

A few times though he did tell me that he would access my drives later and that he could use my TV to access my network. A couple times said he was a hacker but white hat. Said he had friends that were black and could do anything they wanted. That, at least, I was smart enough to have a chuckle at. But really, this whole thing has just become so strange and uncomfortable. But now I'm just pissed.

So really, this might even deserve admin attention?? This guy could really be some trouble.

[MENTION=8598786]cabg.kepr[/MENTION]

Let's clarify one point: Do you have phone service with your device? If not, have you checked the IMEI number (swappa.com, for example) to see if it's black listed?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cabg.kepr:
[MENTION=3209971]cam30era[/MENTION]

I do not. The phone is a sprint and the sim was pulled out.

(My current provider is att)

Checked on swappa and it is not blacklisted, ready for activation, but has a finance issue.

Called sprint and they told me the account was negative and unpaid.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cam30era:
IF

if hasn't been blacklisted, you should be able to activate it on your service provider. If you haven't tried yet, give it a try.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cabg.kepr:
Just called att. They directed me to a website that told me my imei was unrecognized by them.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cam30era:
That's not unusual for AT&T. It doesn't mean your device can't be activated. Try installing an AT&T SIM card from another device that is already activated on AT&T.

Tried that first thing and got "invalid sim".. it's art prepaid. Not sure if that matters?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cam30era:
Appears this S8+ is SIM (carrier) locked to Sprint. You won't be able to use it on any carrier until the previous owner pays off the outstanding balance.

FWIW: don't confuse SIM locked with bootloader locked. And SamPWMD root won't help you.

Have you tried to contact the seller about this?

Still not sure what to do. Though it sounds like I have a nice little tablet for at home?? Still very much plan on working on this in hopes that there will be a boot loader root soon??(if I understood that correctly)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] samuel2706:
Sounds like you got fleeced mate, feel sorry for you not sure how claims courts work in America but I'd be going to one of those. Eventually, the phone sounds like it'll be blacklisted, which won't help your cause. I'd keep copies of every conversation you've had with him and screenshots or printouts if you do decide to take it to court.

I'm unsure of the situation but did you buy this phone from the person who hasn't paid it off or did he buy it from them then sell it to you? As for the TeamViewer situation, yeah that's dodgy you're right to be suspicious.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cam30era:
NO phone modification will help you. This device is DEAD unless he pays it off and gets a SIM unlock code for you. You basically have 3 choices:

1) Contact him and insist on a refund, or written evidence of device paid off.

or

2) Contact the police and file a fraud report

or

3) Accept you loss

Again, don't hope that bootloader unlock or root or any device modification will resolve this. It won't. This device is useless until it's paid for at Sprint, and they provide a SIM unlock code.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] gamer765:
This is so funny. Always pay with card, even if it's local. Anyone can take a card payment, Paypal, Square, etc; That way you have protection from your credit card provider. This is why I always buy new, not secondhand, from a shady dealer in a dark alley, much less wally world. You got played so hard man. At those dev claims, shouldve asked proof and definitely verified if it was unlocked on the spot before handing cash over. Enjoy your new paperweight. I wanna feel bad for you, but it's kinda hard when you fell for the obvious lies.

[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] sk8223:
Umm... did you record the unboxing and first boot? Did you record it while it was charging? You really should have, especially if you bought the phone from Banggood/Geekbuying et al. They're all shady resellers and you absolutely need to have video evidence of defects on hand. Otherwise they'll ignore you.

Contact the seller you bought it from immediately and ask for a refund/open a Paypal dispute. Tell them you didn't modify the phone in any way and that it arrived defective. Then discharge the battery, recharge it and hope for the best.
