[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salazar33:
Hello there fellows, i'll try to make my question simple. My uncle got a new phone so he threw away his old one which i took, its an LG V10 H901 its T-Mobile if i'm not mistaken, Anyways I'm out of Canada for a long time now and the phone is fully unlocked and runs on all the networks i was able to test, but its running android lollipop and i really upgrade to nougat, but from a previous experience with a Galaxy S6, upgrading just like that might lock back the network, and i have no idea if its the same case for this V10 too, as i am not in Canada anymore even contacting T-Mobile won't be that easy at all (tried before), so what i wanna know is, will the network get locked if i upgrade the Android ? as i'm going to do it manually since i can't receive OTA outside the region.

All informations are appreciated, and thanks in advance.

Edit: In T-mobile website where i enter the IMEI to see if my device is illegible for unlocking i got a congratulations saying my device can be unlocked.

- Also, The phone is rooted so my guess the bootloader should be unlocked right ? (Stock recovery btw). Now the weird part about that is that when i try to reboot to fastboot/bootloader from Terminal/ ADB/ Volume Down And USB/ Application With Root, there is no fastboot or bootloader i guess, i even found a similar post on the forums here but no answer for it too!

Now my guess that flashing the KDZ will flash all partitions and fix it but i am still afraid of the carrier lock!
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android#:
In general, once a phone is unlocked, it stays unlocked forever as long as it disables the sim lock check in the phone and updating the software or doing factory reset doesn't change that. From what I have read and researched previously, the sim unlock status is stored and enforced via a certain partition on phone for example, in some phones it is nvram or nv data partition, the same partition that stores phone's IMEI number as well. It is not likely that you will loose sim unlock status just by updating to nougat.

But do keep in mind that that some of the LG V10 H901 T-Mobile versions have a korean motherboard where LG Bridge tries to update it with the wrong version of the rom bricking the phone, and people have reported here on XDA that even after unbricking they lost their IMEI info from the phone permanently and phone modem stops working.

I would suggest that you make sure which sub-variant of the H901 you have before you attempt to do any flashing, especially through LG UP.

I personally just bought a used H901 myself and was trying to decide if my phone is one of the ones with korean motherboard.

hello, i have a Huawei P9 lite, I've been using an anti-procrastination app for a while now on my phone (AppBlock) it basically locks me out of all my distracting app. this has been a huge problem to me as i'm addicted on social media and i can't focus on my work for 10 mins without checking my phone. the problem is that recently i discovered a way to bypass this lock. when i switch on my ultra power saving mode from my notification center, i can access all the blocked apps. moreover, when i come back from this mode this app doesn't function anymore. the only solution i could think of is a way to remove the ultra power saving toggle from notification center. is there a way to do so?

Greetings;

Would it be possible to flash a "Custom Kernel" without

root on a "Locked Bootloader" through fastboot?!

Thank you.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iElvis:
No.

If your bootloader is locked, it's impossible to modify the boot image.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] samteeee:
Thanks for the info.
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] uglyninja8:
I contacted nokia support, they told me I won't get the update if i rooted my device. Is there still a way? Thanks.
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] redweaver:
That's not true, my phone is rooted and I still get regular updates. The only thing is that you have to be on stock recovery. Also make sure your stuff is backed up because sometimes the ota update fails, then you have to flash with OST then install the updates again
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] uglyninja8:
How do i get the stock recovery? Also, i'm dumb in this stuff so how do i check if TWRP is actually installed?
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] redweaver:
Boot to recovery (**** down, hold the power button and up buttons for about 10 secs. You should see a countdown screen. Once the screen finishes counting down, release the buttons. You should enter recovery). If you see no command or the regular recovery, it's probably stock. If you see twrp then it's definitely a custom recovery.

If on the other hand, your problem is that you're not getting any ota update notifications on your phone,

you can try this method: https://xdaforums.com/nokia-5/development/how-to-install-oreo-8-1-v5-580-nokia-5-t3770725

Warning, you will lose all the data on your phone so I will advise you to backup before you follow the procedure
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] uglyninja8:
Cool, if i try the second way, will i still be able to get my phone rooted? Please respond :X
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] redweaver:
Of course you can. I still get ota updates regularly, although after updating, I have to reroot my phone. And if you check this forum you'll find a thread on how to root your phone while on Oreo without having to unlock bootloader using spflashtool. Actually the spflashtool is used to flash twrp, then you can root your phone from there, but your bootloader has to have been unlocked once before
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] uglyninja8:
What do i do now

I flashed the stock recovery. Do i just wait now? Also, surprisingly, I didn't lose my root while flashing rhe stock recovery. So, what do i do now?
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] uglyninja8:
Sorry for dupe, just quoting you so you answer
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] redweaver:
You're not getting ota updates? Which country are you? Twrp doesn't affect your receive updates, it just affects installation. What Android version are you on? If when you check for updates, you're told that you're on the latest version, and your security patch level is earlier than June, then you should try the vpn method I posted the link to
[Nokia 3 Questions & Answers] uglyninja8:
Android 7.1.1

When i check for updates it shows december.

I'm gonna try the VPN method right now.

I'll let you know how it went.

Do i have to reset my phone's whole data or just restart it? Cause it didn't work with just resetting. I will reset my phone now.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] cmarkortiz:
So been a while since i had a foreign phone(xiaomi) my nex s is arriving thur from AliExpress what are the first things i need to do to get it up and running on T-Mobile US? Its supposed to come preinstalled with google play but keep hearing i need a vivo account (with chinese #, ) to get apps running. Someone help a somewhat noob, thanks in advance.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
There's already a NOOB thread,got lots of good info:

https://xdaforums.com/nex/help/help-thread-question-noob-friendly-2018-t3806039

You don't have to do anything special to get it working on T-Mobile, it'll automatically select the proper APN.

As for getting it set up for Google services:

Go to the VIVO App Market (no VIVO account needed for setting up GOOGLE) ,then type google and you will see:

Then click "下载" button on the first app ,then it will download and automatically install on your phone.

Then go to your phone's "file manager " and go to button and you will see this app:"Google Play1.apk",then click it to install.

And you will see this :

Click continue installation button to install it,then Google Play will work.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Grom8:
Is there an ADB guide to delete all the bloatware off the phone, or is it just a generic process I can find on youtube?
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
I've asked the same question elsewhere in the forum here,as to what specifically would be considered safe to delete,never got a response from the person who'd used ADB to disable/delete the VIVO Bloat.

There's this generic tutorial here:

https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/

As to what is safe,as a rule, it's about the same across the board from one mfg to the next,but,I don't have a VIVO-specific "safe list".
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Grom8:
Thank you very much, I will go through it now and report back :)

EDIT: I didn't want to uninstall things that I felt were risky but everything I did "uninstall" using the guide was "safe"

I accidently closed console so I dont have a complete list of what I uninstalled (stupid mistake)

BUT it included:

vivo.com

vivo app store

vivo voice recorders

ALL Jovi applications and system apps (Jovi is unresponsive and does not open yay, but the screen shot Chinese store search still operates. I'm not sure what to uninstall to get rid of that)

all the vivo apps that were labeled only in Chinese and contained Chinese payment/social media applications that weren't system apps

imusic

imanager

browser

funtouch launcher

email

all applications that are replaceable by a working google version etc

There are system applications that I want to uninstall but they may play critical roles and I don't want to risk bricking the phone, basically I followed a rule that if it sounded like it did something important and/or was a system service DO NOT uninstall.

PS: These things worked for my phone and so far I haven't come across any issue. I do not take responsibility if the same does not work on your phone or something worse happens.

How do I get rid of the dual clock widget on home screen and add Google search bar with the single location widget from my location?
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
Press & hold until you see an "X" ,tap it & the offending widget should disappear.

To add a widget,swipe up from the bottom of the screen to bring up the quick settings,you should see a list of widgets available at the very bottom.

Scroll through until you see what you want,press/hold & drag to desktop.

JMHO,you'd be better off using Nova or virtually any 3rd party launcher other than stock,a lot more customization options & a helluva lot easier to navigate...

Thanks koliosis, I think I'll get the 845 variant. I have the Mi mix 2S right now and it's great. I was holding out for the Mi mix 3 but this Nex phone looks amazing. I'm just not too familiar with data bands and thought the 3 out of 5 stars for 4g meant no LTE.

Great news , one last question . How has your overall experience been with the NEX ?
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
Short-lived,I sold mine & ordered the Oppo Find X.

If you're looking for aftermarket development,look elsewhere.

The weirdness of the Funtouch U/I can be overcome,all the info to do so is posted in the forum here.

One BTW that's not well-known:

No NFC on-board...............................
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Welltester13:
Thank You ,you've been very helpful, that oppo find x caught my eye as well.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
I switch phones quite frequently, so, my short time with the phone isn't a true indicator of my experience with it.

Overall, it worked for me, the specs, display/audio/camera, IMHO, are top notch.

Lack of NFC is a non-factor for me, so, I'd rate it an 8 of 10,losing two points for the Funtouch U/I, however as I mentioned, if you wish, that can be customized to your liking, it will just take a bit more work to get it that way.

That's music to my ears , where did you get yours? I'm thinking eBay or AliExpress.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Saloei:
I wish I'd known about Aliexpress at the time. I got mine from Amazon with Google Framework and store preinstalled. I'd like to have seen Qi wireless charging as I have wireless chargers all over my place. I have to say this phone has been flawless. I've experienced no screen stutter. Every screen tap displays a result. The phone is solid even with VIVO's apps installed. I read much complaints about VIVO bloat apps installed on this phone but I can say that doesn't hinder this phone's performance. The phone is solid in the response and accuracy department. I paid much buying it from Amazon but I'm not returning it. It works flawlessly with T-mobile. I've had no problems with 4G or cell phone calls in my area. I can receive calls and use the Internet everywhere I've been so far.
[General Questions and Answers] Mike246:
I recently purchased the Figo Atrium 5.5, and I have tried to root it with every one-click rooting app under the sun, with no luck. There is seemingly little to no support for this device anywhere on these forums, and there are no custom recoveries anywhere I've looked. Obviously this is not a very popular device.

I am at a loss at this point and have no clue what to do. I am looking for some help from experienced users, and I appreciate any advice anyone may be willing to give.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] scottcaps22:
So after the latest beta install I noticed a few things acting oddly so I opted to factory reset my phone to see if that helped. The reset went perfectly well but during the setup process of activating the phone/linking to your gmail account I got stuck at this carrier code portion. It is asking me to either enter a carrier code manually or scan a QR code. I have contacted Google Fi and they have no idea what this code means/believe there are no such codes.

I tried using Tool All In One to reset my phone to an old image but it needs me to have an unlocked bootloader which I am having a hard time finding how to unlock while stuck in the setup phase/in recovery mode.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: When I press "Don't have a QR code?" it just goes back to that exact same screen.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] earth616:
Any luck?

I have the same problem. I opted out of Android Beta, and after the phone restarted, I went through the same process you described. I contacted Google, they couldn't help. They transferred me to the Fi team, they couldn't help and within a few minutes they offered to send me a new phone. They don't usually do that, so I suspect they are aware of more than they are letting on.

Resolution

Hey what's up everyone, so.... I've been running into this issue as well because I factory reset my phone after google assistant glitched out on me day in and day out by constantly crashing. Yes I have project fi, yes I use esim instead of a physical sim card. Yes I have tried the skip method. IT ALL BROUGHT ME BACK TO THE SAME SCREEN.

I am currently studying network operations and security and have been racking my brain about this issue.

**** WHEN IT ASKS FOR QR CODE SCAN OR ENTER MANUALLY, HIT ENTER MANUALLY**** ENTER YOUR IMEI # Located on the box your phone came with, or it's also allegedly found where your sim card goes in on the pixel., This helped me get past this screen of QR code and helped me get off google support chat for 3 hours.

Of course after you get past the QR screen I also found myself without cell data, so I went into my project Fi App and from there I was able to activate service.

TRY IT, and if it worked, I love you too.

[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tatsunn:
Hello, I hope this helps those who don't have access to enable the WIFi HotSpot in the settings on their Boost Mobile Samsung J7.

I just purchased this phone after my old Lg G5 with Tmobile broke, and it frustrated me that although I was paying for the unlimited plan with Boost, I would need to pay $10.00 extra each month in order to be able to access the hotspot feature, and I refused to do that.

I initially downloaded FoxFi and a few other apps from the PlayStore, and FoxFi actually worked for the 1st day but then I started getting an error about "No internet connection" and could not get the hotspot working anymore no matter what app I tried.

Well, after some trial & error and testing, I found a way to enable the hotspot function easily from within the phone itself and without having to download or install any apps like Foxfi, but you do need to install "Shortcut Master" and if you have the full version to allow shortcuts to be created on your home screen its even better.

Instructions:

1. Download and install "Shortcut Master" from play store.

2. Open "Shortcut Master" tap the 3 dots in right hand upper corner, then tap "App Explorer", make sure the drop down says "all apps", then scroll down until you find the line that says "SETTINGS" and under that it says "com.android.provider.settings" and tap on it.

3. A new page with rows and rows of different settings should be listed. Scroll down until you locate the row that says "Settings$TetherSettingsActivity". Once you tap on this row, it will bring up the options to: Launch, Favorite, or Homescreen. At this point you can tap launch which will take you directly into the hidden HOTSPOT settings menu where you can edit the settings for the HOTSPOT and enable it.

4. I'd recommend also tapping "Homescreen" option also so you can add a direct shortcut to the hidden HOTSPOT menu on your homescreen to be able to access the menu turn on and off the hotspot much easier then having to open shortcut Master each time you want to enable the hotspot.

5. And......VOILA!!! You should now be able to turn your hotspot on and off and configure it as needed.

I did a search prior to making this post and all of the post that I saw included downloading 3rd party hotspot apps, but this is much easier and so far I have not had any issues. I am running Android 6.0 at the moment on the stock ROM for the Boost Mobile j7, but I do want to add that I DO HAVE ROOT access but I am not sure if that will matter or not.

If anyones phone is not rooted could test this to verify it also works on your non rooted phones that would be great and much appreciated.

I hope this helps anyone has had trouble enabling their hotspot and are on the Boost Mobile network.

Re: Wing Won't Startup After Power Down

Hi Guys,

I have a problem. My Wing was running low on battery (~10%) and I completely forgot to charge it. When I got back home, as expected the Wing was dead, so I connected the battery charger and allowed it to charge up for a while. After a few minutes, I tried to turn it on (it was still connected to the charger) and I just a saw a screen with three colors and a few seconds later, the following error message:

IPL= 4.10.0002

SPL=4.10.0000

I tried to soft-reset and hard-reset the device to no avail. I was hoping that some of you wise folks would be able to help me out.

Thanks!

BTW, I was running the standard T Mobile ROM and did not make any changes to the software, etc.
[Wing, P4350 General] fzzyrn:
the screen you are seeing would be the bootloader. Your phone is not hard-spl'd so simply downloading tmobile's RUU from the FTP site and running it while your phone is plugged in and in bootloader will solve your problem.

But why use the tmo stock rom? It's not exactly memory efficient. Do your own research into installing one of the custom roms here on the board.

[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rolador:
Hi there. I have a Droid Turbo 2 (from Verizon) and after an update late last year I appear to have two conflicting battery managers. The phone shuts down at anywhere from 30% to 90% battery. When you push the power button to see the battery level indicator, a white screen with a vertical representation of a battery shows with the battery completely drained. This shows for about 2 seconds, then it goes away and a black screen appears that shows the current actual battery level as a partially drawn blue circle and says "Turbo" I believe at the bottom of the screen.

The phone cannot be restarted without connecting it to a power source. Based on this I believe that there are two different apps trying to control the battery level and protect the phone from running out of battery by shutting it down as a safety measure, and the one with the white screen is getting incorrect battery levels for some reason.

Is there a way to find these power modules and disable the faulty one? Or would loading a completely new ROM potentially solve this? I'm not sure how deeply battery monitoring and control apps are buried into the phone.

I picked up the Best Buy unlocked version. Which I assumed was the Android One version(?) but I'm not seeing anything about it on this phone. Anyways, I'm not familiar with some of the lingo for this phone in the threads, so I'm not sure what to look for compatibility-wise. I came from the S9+ so I have to figure all that out. Is it bootloader unlockable, and rootable? Is it the A1 version? Is there a benefit to changing the firmware to A1(if that's even possible, running 8.1)?

Thanks for all the input.

Android One has the badge or logo on the back. You can use Motorola's website to definitively determine if your phone call be unlocked. Typically, the one from Amazon isn't.
