i tried it with the T-Mobile one and it did work, i just inserted a sim from another carrier and it redirected me to the Device Unlock app and i just permanent unlock the phones. But with the Sprint one i insert a Sim and nothing happens, i also cant open any hidden menu through codes and since i cant root it either im stuck there right now with the invalid sim card notice.
[Android General] awireless:
Correct no solution for sprint
[Android General] zerocords:
Woah thats a shame, but there should be a solution for this right? i mean it shouldn't be imposible, more likely nobody has found the method.
[Android General] awireless:
Yeah its not impossible none of the developers are working on this phone because its not popular not worth there time. I believe i can figure it out but we need DA file leaked from MTK/LG and no one cares about this phone to get it.
[Android General] latescar:
Shame. I bought the sprint/boost variant from eBay before reading this. My phone just says invalid sim, I thought it will be a simple network unlock :(. Guys let's try come up with a method. Anyone to point me in the right direction before I smash this thing

How does one get the file?

Needs to be leaked from LG/MTK

So bribe someone to give you the file who works there

Got a security update notification on my phone this morning. Half-awake, I clicked it, noticed it was 98mb, and clicked restart to begin the process. I thought with such a small update it wouldn't take long. It's been three hours and it's stuck at the logo screen. Tried to reset it, but it just boot loops a couple times and then stays on the logo. Did Google just brick my phone?

Anyone else with this issue?

Stock Q710ULM
[Android General] awireless:
Probably, you can just flash stock and it will be fine. Its most likely just lg not google though lg is bad.
[Android General] Cookster128:
Not that simple this time, my friend. It will not fully engage DL mode, so I cannot flash anything. I have tried several things, and several programs, but have yet to acquire a positive connection between computer and phone. I dealt with this issue before when I first bought the phone from eBay. I'm in the process of re-tracing my steps now.

Thanks for your input.

Has anyone unlocked the Q710AL? It is more of a partial unlock but not sure how much good it will be within the states as it seems to only be for cdma.
[Android General] awireless:
No have not seen anyone unlock it. what partial unlock are you referring to?
[Android General] g0new0rk:
I attached the instructions in a text file. So hopefully there will not be a mile long thread of "QUOTE's" Let me know if you give it a shot. I will edit this post to give credit and a link to a youtube video once I get to my other laptop.

It is done with shortcut master lite. So it should be safer than flashing etc.

This is for Sprint/Boost Stylo 4. May work on others like the Q710PL.

Here is where the credit goes to youtu.be/oCCYA62EwuA I think they are part of Yemen group.

I also unlocked a j3 and j7 from tracfone from there blog. Usually cannot find someone to give a tracfone to around here.
[Android General] Bradford1040:
Been years, I last had a NOTE 5 and installed a custom rom on it, it was so much better having that freedom, I bought the Amazon Prime LG Stylo 4 (basically the stylo 4+) and the lack of info and roms is making me think it is not worth the time to root, there are people that say kingroot is the way to go, but truly I only trust if XDA guys are behind those words. So what is the issue with this phone? Should I just buy a NOTE 8/9 and work from there, or can I stay with this 250usd phone and get a great rom?
[Android General] awireless:
Its becuase no devs are working on this device and no one is trying to get leaked files or patch anything. If you do want to get note8/9 get the F model one its the international very easy to root and install custom ROMS. Trust me ive been working on stylo 4 but without support from the people who has been doing this for ever cant get very far.
[Android General] Bradford1040:
Thank you for quick reply, and advice. I am sticking to this phone for a little bit, maybe till december I guess, if anyone including yourself has a sure fire way to safely root and rom this phone please don't stay silent lol

[Android General] noidodroid:
AFAIK no way has been found for unLOCKing this. If so the other foreign forums usually are where its at on the good info for obvious boxed reasons. If those reasons dont appear then its safe to say its not out public yet... always set times for these for more obvious reasons. So you pulled a knife on someone who tried to shoot you? That sucks. Self defense though too.. have to consider this and all possibilities and much more.. ..... GOOD LAWYER ;)

Hidden codes

I've been crawling through what programs and files I can get into and started running in little hidden programs and files. Some of it suggests that the code to unlock the phones or bin code is already on the phones but hidden just waiting for certain commands. For example in 2 preloaded songs I found coding hiding underneath. Also the operators hidden menu seems to be one of 3 or 6 programs to start everything. I found some references to polymorphic files and dalvik being the keys. If someone with more experience could possibly look at those maybe tell me I'm not crazy :confused:
[Android General] awireless:
Lmao from the way you describe it sounds like a conspiracy theory.

Just like the other stylo phones there wont be a bootloader unlocked at least not for a very long time.

if you want to try the qualcomm version using the g7 bootloader unlock method on octoplus jtag pro that might be only soultion. i have sprint which is mtk so it wont work if you try with qualcomm that might be your only chance.
[Android General] OriginalWolfen:
Nothing better to do

I'll just keep on going through things and see if it leads to anything I did find this among some of it. But it of course just leads you to more files.

[Android General] awireless:
Which firmware did you crossflash to? I tried the hong kong version but lost imei bluetooth wifi and adb connection. Reading eeprom then flashing then writing eeprom is the fix but cannot read and write eeprom on this device octoplus doesnt have it avaible.
[Android General] djcal1985:
for fix the baseband you have to make erasechip LGUP with the Honkong o any qstylo firmware mtk, for imei is easy en the same phone on hidden menu look cid/ write you imei original and write , imei fixed, for wifi no solution yet, working now,

for signal GSM is other stepts

Looming for the greenish blue default wallpaper.....have been searching but keep coming up empty....any help would be much appreciated
[Android General] CatalystWon:
I recently acquired an LG Stylo 4 variant called “Q Stylo+” model # LMQ710WA.

Before I came across this forum I installed all OTA updates through the last one Q710WA10p. Strangely, ‘About-phone’ now displays the device as an LMQ710.FGN.

I was wondering what app I need to install on the PC to flash an earlier genuine LG firmware and if it's even possible to install an earlier official version?

All LG drivers are installed on Windows 7.

When in Firmware Update mode, ADB and FASTBOOT do not see device. However when device is ON and I connect USB cable, ADB can see the device and reboots if requested. FASTBOOT does not work. Totally illogical to me.

Thanks!
[Android General] Cookster128:
I am probably not qualified to even try to answer this, but I didn't want to just leave you hangin'. I brought one of these back from the dead using the LG Mobile Support Tool and LG Bridge. There is an LG Flash Tool linked in this thread somewhere, but it isn't factory (from what I can tell) and I couldn't get it to work; user error, more than likely.

As far as going back to earlier firmware, I'm pretty sure that's not possible once it updates the security protocol. You'd have to root, but then it wouldn't be genuine LG.
[Android General] CatalystWon:
Thanks! I'd root in a flash (no pun intended) . Do you know if the LG UP tool to use if I need to flash an older genuine firmware and will it give me an error if I try...I'd prefer to ask in advance than risk bricking :giggle:
[Android General] Cookster128:
@CatalystWon My LGUP keeps having an error saying it "can't load the model". I'm not sure why. I tried both the original and the patched LGUP (found in this thread). Bridge and Support Tool seem to be able to communicate with it just fine. I am rather certain that neither program will let you reinstall an older firmware if it has already been updated.

Sorry, I did not find the correct forum for a Samsung a3 2015.

I have an a3 2015 that's not finding any network, I suspect the simcard en card reader is functioning because when I start the phone it asks me for my pincode and I'm able the login to the phone.

It has a valid imei, but when i try to call it says "unable the register on network"

Has anybody seen this problem before and knows how to fix it ?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Bryan48765:
That could be caused by, including but not limited to: Low signal strength (ignore signal bars, phones could select other MNOs and measure that), bands in coverage are not supported by the phone, tower or its backhaul is down for maintenance (or failure), IMEI/SIM (ask your mobile network operator anyway), circuit switching is not supported or out of coverage of the mobile network operator, the CSC in your ROM is not applied correctly for (packet switched) VoLTE (if the mobile network operator supports it on your device), antenna failure, the wrong mobile network operator is manually selected in the network settings, too much interference from neighbour cells on the same channel, bad reselection/handover, the signal has been 'echoed' too much, too far away from the tower for the timing advance, too far away from the tower for the RACH parameters.

Probably not...

Device is locked to LTE only. Or locked in some other way.

1. try to put your simcard on different phone. is it work? if yes, so your sim card reader is broken

2. have u reset your device to its default state? if yes and still the same, u have to reflash the whole rom through ODIN. if u haven't try it, do it now.

3. use another simcard on your phone, see the signal bar, is it there? if no signal, then the answer could be on the number 1 / 2.

4. what u did until u lost your signal?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] peter43:
I've tried the simcard in another phone, it's working.

Can the simcard reader be broken, even if it asks for a sim pincode ?

The phone was working until they pushed some updates, i've tried a factory reset but without success.

I've been reading on forums the problem could be a QCN file or a cert file ?

Is this also replaced when reflash the phone ? ( new a this, so I don't want to brick the phone.)

Where can I find the correct firmware ? Is it country related or just a300fu is fine ?

The thing i find weird about it is the phone is not showing no signal icon without the simcard insert (first icon on the link)

But shows a gray singal icon (like the second icon on the link but completely gray, without the bars).

http://newsandguides.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-android-notification-bar-icon-guide/)

update: when I turn airplane mode on and off, the signal icon is showing signal bars without a sim card insert.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] peter43:
Nobody that can guide me to the correct firmware ?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Bryan48765:
You know the phone's model. For the CSC (country),

Use the one in your phone, there are apps to read CSC or use "getprop ro.csc.sales_code" in a terminal emulator.

Use the one of your current location/mobile network operator, the displayed 'location the CSC belongs to' on CSCs might not be accurate. It might not apply correctly.

Use a different one, but some apps might be customized differently, there are indeed some cellular configurations but it's mostly higher features, not basic functionality (though there are some). It might not apply correctly.

For the version, try an upgrade or the same version. Open the stock recovery to fully apply the CSC. For downgrades, the number in the middle of the firmware version can't be reduced. If a downgrade causes the loss of cellular, wipe data or return to the previous firmware.

In most cases I highly do not recommend attempting to restore the EFS, flashing PIT, or downgrading to Lollipop on A 2015.

The signal bars being 'blank' after an insert might be because the tower is simply distant. Calls could work on another phone if the bands (or selected RAT on the phone - 2G/3G/4G) of a nearby tower or VoLTE/VoWiFi is supported. Appears without a SIM, or could be suddenly raised with the SIM, might be because the phone has selected other mobile network operators (not related to your SIM), for measurement and limited use... you can view the transition here *#0011#, there are a few others like this but it should be enough, it is MCC(country)MNC(operator), also called PLMN ID. For the signal strength, while your mobile network operator is selected, RSSI is the signal strength of that channel, RSCP and RSRP is approximately the signal strength of the cell not canceled out by interference, ecio,ecno,rsrq,sinr,rxqual are signal quality.

Maybe the spectrum of the previously good tower has been refarmed (the frequencies previously used on 2G is now on 4G for example), or anything above, or an update somehow broke band support.

Before modifying firmware, try moving around, to connect to other cell towers of the mobile network operator of the SIM, the current band should be in 0011, check which bands your MNO uses, the list of bands the phone supports are on the internet. If for some reason the plmn id isn't in 0011 there are apps to display it.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] peter43:
I found out that *#0011# gives you access to the service menu.

q0000 should give access to the network modes, but this is not working, is there an other code a should use to get access to the network modes menu ?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Bryan48765:
q0000 probably does not apply to Android Lollipop and above. On lollipop and above, it's *#2263# for band selection, marshmallow, *#2683662# (and others), for channel selection and all that, even fewer on Nougat, even fewer on Oreo. Root might be required, but those codes are available in some CSCs (mostly US carrier ones) for some devices without root. Compare *_keystrings.dat in /system/etc.

For the other kind of network mode, also known as rat (radio access technology), 2g/3g/4g, apps might be able to open 4636 without root, there's the full selection.

[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] valgrom:
1. Is there any way to natively enable "Wifi-Calling" using the Funtouch OS settings?

I live in a very bad coverage area and definitely need Wifi-Calling when home. I tried using an app that supposedly enables the 'hidden' wifi-calling feature. It appears to work for a short while after enabling it, but an hour or so later callers report going straight to my voice mail even though I haven't dropped out of my Wifi network. Once I make a call at that point I start being able to receive calls again. I thought this might be a 'sleep' setting for Wifi, but the actual setting for that feature is set to 'Always On' so it's apparently not that.

2. Many apps do not have notification badge icons features on Funtouch OS. For example, the email app that comes with Funtouch has a setting called "App Icon Tag", but none others that I've seen have the same feature (even apps that are meant to have notification badges like gmail or Inbox or Linkedin. Some of the more ubiquitous apps do have this feature (i.e. WhatsApp, etc.). Since the underlying OS is Android 8.1 (which does have this functionality) is there any way to enable this in Funtouch?

3. Is there a way to get separate notification ringtones for individual email accounts?

The default Funtouch email app does not have this feature. It only allows a notification ringtone for all emails on all configured accounts.

Thanks,

M.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] valgrom:
Found some answers (touches on setting custom launcher)

1. Is there any way to natively enable "Wifi-Calling" using the Funtouch OS settings?

Other than what I already wrote in the original post I haven't found anything for this

2. Many apps do not have notification badge icons features on Funtouch OS. For example, the email app that comes with Funtouch has a setting called "App Icon Tag", but none others that I've seen have the same feature (even apps that are meant to have notification badges like gmail or Inbox or Linkedin. Some of the more ubiquitous apps do have this feature (i.e. WhatsApp, etc.). Since the underlying OS is Android 8.1 (which does have this functionality) is there any way to enable this in Funtouch?

So this particular question would be easily resolved with a custom launcher, but since this has been an ongoing topic with no resolution (that I could find on the boards) I didn't think of doing this initially. However, I figured I had nothing to lose in trying so I did and to my surprise I was able to install and set Nova as the default launcher without having to create a Vivo account. I wrote Vivo and they said they were working on an "account registration system" available to others outside China with no Chinese phone number, but they said it was not yet ready. Apparently they must have made a change to the ROM because I was able to set Nova as the custom launcher (and select the 'default' radio button). Up to now I have been using Nova as my default launcher without it ever going back to the Vivo launcher. 'Home' always takes me back to Nova.

Because I can now use Nova as my launcher I can use "Tesla Unread" and have set it up to post notification badges on all of the apps that I couldn't before. For some reason though, some of the default Vivo apps (i.e. mail, calendar, etc.) do not post notifications in a way that 'Tesla Unread' can read so I had to download a calendar app and an email app to get the desired effect.

Google Calendar works brilliantly, but the email app was a bit trickier.

Bluemail does the same thing my V30 mail started doing after the Oreo upgrade (only counts new mail in the notification badge and doesn't continue to display unread count after I have cleared the initial notification -- even if the email itself is still unread). Fortunately Aqua mail works perfectly for this! I now can see notification badge for total of unread mail.

3. Is there a way to get separate notification ringtones for individual email accounts?

The default Funtouch email app does not have this feature. It only allows a notification ringtone for all emails on all configured accounts.

Aqua Mail has this functionality...I can assign individual notification tones for each mail account. Aqua Mail ROCKS! (so I bought the pro version).

Hope that helps out others having similar issues.

The app is just called "Wifi Calling" in the Google Play Store. As it turned out, I wasn't using it correctly. I had to take an extra step for it to work, but I don't get the pop-up for that step so it's not working. It came recommended from a thread on here when I did my original search.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] valgrom:
I am also using Nova Launcher...that might be the difference, but I also bought Aqua Mail Pro and it works like a champ. It adds up all the unread mail in my accounts and displays them perfectly until they are no longer "unread". I can't say enough good things about it.
