Hey guys,

so my Nexus 5x all of a sudden shut itself down all of a sudden and was stuck in a bootloop (in this case I'm talking about the thing always booting until the Google logo and then restarting itself). Fortunately for me the device was still unlocked (but for some reason I didn't have TWRP installed anmore...) so I tried to install an earlier factory img. Turns out I didn't have enough space on my phone to unpack, so being a smartass I thought 'Hey, locking the device wipes all of my stuff.' Well... Should have thought about how to unlock it again.

Current state is:

1 the phone boots until Google logo and then is stuck (no more rebooting though)

2 when I try to enter Recovery mode it boots until Google logo and then reboots to state 1

3 the device is locked so I can't flash anything from my PC

So does anyone have an idea what's left to do other than smashing the thing against the wall, burning it to ashes and dancing around the fire? I am currently messing around with those instructions

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/help/guide-fix-bootloop-locked-bootloader-t3608679

but it doesn't seem I can unlock the phone from my PC (which was what I guessed but I'm pretty much clutching at any straw now...)

Thanks in advance :)

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
I own three V30/V30+ phones. For SOME reason, my wife's V30 will not show the lock screen weather animation, even though I have it turned on. (Repeatedly, several times, even turning it off, rebooting, turning it back on, etc.)

I've been through all the settings between hers and my other two -- including LG Home app permissions, and I can see no differences. But yet, 2 of 3 phones show the lock screen animation and the other one does not. My daily V30+ and hers also have Nova launcher installed, but that has nothing to do with it (or shouldn't). My "spare" V30 is in basic factory re-set mode (using LG launcher), and I turned on the weather locks screen animation on that phone tonight.

The first time you turn it on (and ONLY the first time), it asks for location permission and for weather provider access. But NONE of those permissions show up in the LG Home app. I wouldn't have said NO to those permissions, but that's the only valid working theory I have...

Where else would that show up, and how can I re-set those permissions (or make it show those questions again) -- without doing a factory re-set (HOURS of work) on my wife's phone.

Obviously no one is going to die if my wife can't see lock screen weather animation, but it's just strange it's not on her phone. Anyone have any ideas, besides factory re-set?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
And now suddenly it's working. Arghhh. After struggling with it all day, trying to figure out WHY it's not showing weather on the lockscreen, after I posted this, it's now blithely showing weather on her lockscreen. Go figure.

Where exactly is it located? I'm on Verizon, and don't see an option for lock screen animation.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Settings/Lock screen

You'll see Weather Animation on that page. Agree to permissions and turn it on.

And here are the Verizon instructions -- but they're exactly the same everyone else.

Thanks I see. I need to choose a lock screen first. I never used anything so didn't see the other options.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
I chose the same picture I use for desktop.

It's raining here.

That's a screenshot of the animation. The actual animation moves and is very neat.

I rarely see it however, because my fingerprint sensor unlock is so fast. ;)

It could be quite a while before I know if my lock screen weather animation is working: it never snows and barely even rains in Los Angeles haha. It hasn't rained since I got this phone and there is no rain currently in sight

Funny, I didn't even know I had this enabled until it was snowing last night. I've had my phone for a month and this is the first time it's appeared.

We've had plenty of rain & snow in those 4 weeks. It seems so sporadic!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] mkpcxxl:
I would like to see ALL weather animations, not only rain and snow, there is also sun, cloudy and so on. But for a reason that only LG know they are deactivated.

Before the V30 I've had a G5 and a G3 and with some custom roms it was possible to see ALL weather animations.

I don't understand, why LG has made this, for what they have ALL animations, when it is not possible to see all of them.

On the G5 and G3 with stock roms it was also only possible to see rain and snow.

Perhaps in the future one of the devs. here in this wonderful forum will find a way to realize this.

Best regards

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] kevin1061:
Lockscreen weather animation re-set

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Are you using the default weather app that came with the V30? I upgraded from a LG G3 where I could manually add a widget to the lock screen. I used the Digital Clock & Weather app from MACHAPP with no problems at all. I am unable to add a widget to the lock screen, and even with the Weather animation setting turned on, I never see the animation.

Maybe it only works with the default app? :confused:
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] mkpcxxl:
I'm still searching for a way to activate all weather effects in the lockscreen. I trink it can't be difficult, but I don't know how.

Perhaps somebody can explain me how to do it. PLEASE...

Settings. In stock firmware Settings, use the search feature for "weather". I also have all my

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] mkpcxxl:
Thanks for your answer but I think you didn't understand what I mean.

Surely I know where to activate the weather animations on lockscreen.

But in stock there is only an animation when it rains or snow falling but there are also animations for sun, cloudy weather, fog and thunderstorms.

For reasons that only LG know these animations are not active.

xpirt has made a flashable zip for nougat rom 11m where all this weather animations were active. The problem is, he has changed to Samsung and now I think he will not work anymore on LG stuff.

Now I would like to have this also on oreo 21o rom. That's all.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Then you know more about this than I do. I only see rain, snow using LG app. I didn't know there were unactivated LG weather animations.

I have Beautiful widgets that shows me lots of animations like you describe, but when I UNlock the screen, not on the lockscreen. I've had that for years, with non LG phones also.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] mkpcxxl:
You're right, in unchanged stock it is only rain and snow but with some changes in LGKeyguardEffect.apk and some things more it is possible to have also sun, cloudy, fog and thunderstorm.

The only thing is I don't know what are the changes.

I'll look into porting the G7 keyguard app into my module. Problem is I'm not sure we'd know it's working or anything new until we have that weather for new animations?

I did a quick compare of the checksums of the keyguard apk from the latest G7 images I have and and the stock rom I'm running and they were different so there could be new stuff. IDK

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Jitter77:
hello,

I made a previous post about accessing a broken S7 phone. My GF and I both have the same S7s and I saw a digitizer test cable on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EVO5ULO/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.

I was going to

1. Hook one end up to digitizer on her mother board

2. Detach digitizer ribbon from my mother board

3. Hook other end up to the detached digitizer from my phone.

Would this work? I am not sure what connections are on both ends of the ribbon?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Hidden Username:
Yes, that is not an issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Jitter77:
I got it sorted out. I ended up asking a repair shop if I could hook up a new digitizer to the phone to turn on debugging and what not. I also borrowed my neighbors laptop took a so I could allow the phone when the key came up. The guy at the place was cool and said I could take as long as I needed. He did charge me $30 which I though was reasonable and definitely worth it to get the pictures back.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdroid666:
i don't know what i did ,this tablet was working fine for 2 years with RR custom rom i used root junky tools to root and install RR custom rom,pico gaps, xposedframework ,and android custom boot animation from 5.0,1 , it was working one second and then all of a sudden the google app , gmail ,and youtube all say

" "app name" relies on google play services which is not supported by your device ,contact manufacturer "

how do i fix this and how did it happen? funny thing is that the play store still works and apps can update but i can't use any google apps

all i did was log into a secondary account and then try and install the google app which was already installed on the primary account , the google app stopped working then it worked and then it stopped again and now none of the google apps will work on either account,how do i fix this?

google play services version is 11.9.75(230-182402865)
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdroid666:
i tried uninstalling the google app from the secondary account and then tried using gmail and youtube on the secondary account and it does not work, then tried on the primary account and it does not work , then i tried uninstalling the google app from the primary account

and rebooting , and it still does not work

how can i fix this without having to reflash everything?

how do i stop this from happening again?

and i have 2 other tablets i set ap the same way only on those i used flash fire because they were on 5.1.1 i think

do i now have to worry about it happening to those tablets too?

should i not ever update or install any google apps from the play store again?

update: ok this is really strange , i booted one of my other tablets i set up the same way only it was flashed with flash fire from 5.1.1 instead of 5.0.1 and TWRP

(i have 3 5th gen fire 7's running RR custom rom, root, with xposed , 2 were on 5.1.1 and flashed with flash fire and one was on 5.0.1 and flashed with TWRP , all with root junky tools)

i first went to gmail and then to youtube both worked fine , then i went to the play store and i updated an app , not an app that uses play services though,

then i noticed a notification pop up that said something about google play services not being supported on the device , so i went to launch gmail again and then it was doing the same thing as it was on the other tablet , then i launched youtube , and same thing

then like a minute later after closing the apps and trying them again , they worked fine

i really would like to to know what is going on here

next i will try the 3rd tablet, , that one was the last one i set up and has the least apps on it

just to be clear here the play store works just fine , i can update ,install and uninstall apps through it

and my account is visible in the playstore and my accounts show up in the tablet

just cant get any google apps like gmail ,youtube , google plus and the google app working
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Google (any many 3rd party) apps rely on Google Play Services for core/shared functionality. Play Services/Framework is supposed to seemlessly auto-update in the background and usually does. Believe you saw that happen on your 2nd tablet. For whatever reason the framework appears borked on the 1st device.

As previously advised fixing Google Play Services issues is difficult/unreliable without a fresh install. Given you can boot twrp on the device having this issue I suggest the following:

- boot into TWRP and backup the current (nonworking) environment

- dirty flash RR, SuperSU and a suitable OpenGApps package

- verify everything is working correctly

- proceed to a 'clean' flash if the trouble persists

Dirty flashing will preserve existing apps/data/settings and is obviously less disruptive. Effectively the way a FireOS OTA update works. However, it doesn't always work and can create additional problems.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdroid666:
ok thanks so what kind of additional problems? nothing serious like bricking right?

i do not know the difference between clean and dirty flash so how would i go about that from TWRP

i don't even remember how to get TWRP , i assume i need to get the tablet into fastboot ,i also forgot how i do that

and i may have uninstalled the clockwork mod driver from my PC not sure if i need those or not

is there a guide you can link me to on how to get the tablet into tethered TWRP and which option i need to select from it , i think i have the files i used for the initial flash somewhere i should be able to find those, the RR rom, gapps ,

super SU

also where would the backup go exactly? to an SD card? would you happen to know how much space i would need , if it goes to internal then how do i get the backup to Sd?

also what about xposed framework would that remain intact after a "dirty flash"

should i also add the xposed framework to the zip at the time of dirty flash if not or would i have to do after?

i can not remember too much about how i set this thing up and this is probably the only time i have ever used TWRP , the other 2 tablets i used FF

also could i just a dirty flash from FF? , guess i should use TWRP since i can note make a backup with FF right?

EDIT: i really have no clue what i am doing here ,what are the chances that when google play services updates in the background next time it will just fix itself? should i wait a few weeks and see if it corrects itself 1st?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Try updating Google Play Services from here. It usually doesn't work but worth a shot given your level of familiarity with managing your custom build.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdroid666:
yeah i tried it a few times ,rebooted and tried again and it is snot working

it is weird because on gmail i can click outside the message box that says no google play services and then i see my gmail account and it says getting your messages , and syncing but it just hangs forever and with youtube i get notifications for new videos for channels i am subbed to, when i click on the notification and open youtube from there the video plays but there is no video just audio and the no google play services message is there and everything is greyed out but i can hear the sound from the video
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Yep - not unexpected from a borked Play Services is install. You're probably gonna have to bit the bullet and perform a fresh install. At that time it may be wise to consider a shift to a different ROM. Nothing wrong with RR but it isn't being updated which could eventually lead to further issues.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdroid666:
well the rom is working on the other 2 tablets it acted up for a minute then worked again on one of them

i am wondering if that issue could be because i had the internal memory maxed out?

it was almost 100% full then i started moving some apps to the sd card , maybe it tried to update and ran out of memory or something and got only partially updated?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Possibly. Trying to perform forensics w/o supporting data is a bit of a fools errand. What happened to your device is neither common nor rare. I would focus on remediation which likely means an uncomfortable rebuild (due to unfamiliarity with procedures). You are fortunate to have TWRP access which removes most of the risk. Unless it self-resolves (unlikely) you're going to have to get your hands dirty one way or the other.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdroid666:
so what would the risk be if i were to try and side load the .APK's for the play services to try and fix it that way?

which .apk's would i need and in what order would i need to install them , is it worth a shot to try and manually install them from .apk and see hat happens?

if not and i need to do twrp route then would i install the xposed framework zip at the same time

can i flash the rom , gapps, super su , xposed, and custom boot animation zips or would i need to reboot 1st , which order would be best to line them up in TWRP to flash

also what do i do for dirty flash, ? just not wipe anything like dalvik cache? what do i wipe and not wipe?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdroid666:
ok i have booted into TWRP and i made a backup of everything including cache

now how would i go about dirty flashing

i just want to know what to do about xposed , will it remain in tact if i dirty flash the rom , gapps and super SU ?

or do i need to add the xposed zip when i do the dirty flash? would i need to also side load the xposed installer .apk after too again?

in what order do i need to add the zips to the install list? and what do i need to wipe and not wipe and what order?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
As a precaution you should copy (not move) the TWRP folder to off-line storage. If the folder is located in the external SD card that's reasonably safe. Take a deep breath and proceed as follows:

- verify you have all of the required zips located somewhere on the device or external SD card

- boot into TWRP

- wipe the system partition ONLY

- install the following zips in the order listed (individually or as a group; doesn't matter):

--> RR ROM

--> GApps package (suggest arm/5.1/nano; nothing larger than mini)

--> SuperSU 2.76 or 2.82 SR5 (avoid versions between 2.76 and 2.82)

--> Xposed Framework v89

Once all the of installations are complete accept the offer to wipe cache/dalvik and then reboot system.
