[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsBasti:
I don't have a sammobile premium membership so I got the firmware from: https://simunlockremote.com/galaxy-s-series-firmware/ (G901FXXU1BOC4_G901FBAL1BOC1_BAL).

When I try to flash the firmware with the pit file you recommended me I get the error "SECURE CHECK FAIL : PIT" on my device in the download mode and Odin says fail.

Currently I'm downloading the german version of the 5.0.2 firmware (G901FXXU1BPA2) and I'll try that with the the pit file from sammobile. The download will take quite a while because it's heavily throttled.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsBasti:
After endless hours of fiddling around with various firmwares I have it working now.

I've used:

- firmware: DTM Germany 4.4.4 (PDA: G901FXXU1ANI5 CSC: G901FDTM1AOA1)

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s5/SM-G901F/DTM/download/G901FXXU1ANI5/44676/

- pit: SM-G901F DTM (KCCAT6_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN200M.pit)

https://www.sammobile.com/forum/threads/30119-galaxy-S5-G900-and-variants-pit-files

It boots up into android 4.4.4. But when I perform a firmware upgrade with Samsung Kies to 6.0.1 it goes goes back to boot looping. When I try to flash LineageOS or restore a backup in TWRP the device reboots itself while installing in TWRP and starts to boot loop again.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFixItMan:
Glad you found the right combo
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomuser23423:
swap a new battery in. eliminate the easiest causes first.

(had a few batteries causing boot loop on my SM-G900F before)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsBasti:
You could be right. I've tried running Antutu Benchmark on the device while it's on battery. It basically crashes instant and the phone reboots. I've tried it while the device is plugged into an outlet with the standard charger and it doesn't crash/randomly reboot.

Never thought somethink like that could cause that, but you've potentially proved me wrong :o

I'm going to order a replacement battery. Thanks!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsBasti:
I'm completly lost right now.

I bought a new battery but that doesn't seem to solve my problem.

I can flash the 4.4 DTM with PIT and the device boots up. It's super slow and lags, but for the most part it works.

With boot loop I mean the device is stuck in the "Samsung Galaxy S5 powered by android" screen and reboots after some time and gets stuck there again.

Kies: upgrade 4.4 to 6.0.1 => boot loop

Odin: flash 4.4, boot up, flash 6.0.1 => boot loop

Odin: flash 4.4, boot up, flash 6.0.1, flash TWRP, install LOS from TWRP (twrp-3.2.3-0-kccat6) => device restarts while flashing or boot loop

Odin: flash 4.4, boot up, flash 6.0.1 bootloader and modem, flash TWRP, install LOS from TWRP => boot loop

At some point I somehow got it to boot up into LOS 15.1 but in the setup process everything crashed and the device wasn't usable at all. After that the device rebooted itself and got stuck in the LOS boot animation. Another time a achived the same, but after it rebooted itself it got stuck in the "Samsung Galaxy S5 powered by android" screen again.

I appreciate any help thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFixItMan:
You can try formatting every partition in twrp

Goto wipe

Advance wipe

Format the following

System - data - cache - art/delvik cache - internal storage

Go back & select wipe again but choose option on right hand side (not advanced wipe)

Reboot to recovery

Install from sd card or re-copy rom zips etc back to internal storage

With Linageos are you flashing gapps too?

For lineageos 15.1 use mind the gapps (arm)

http://downloads.codefi.re/jdcteam/javelinanddart/gapps
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsBasti:
I followed your instructions but I'm still stuck. Before I've only installed LOS 15.1, without gapps and nothing else. I've also tried it with the gapps you recommended but that also doesn't work.

I've discovered something weird: I followed this guide to extract the modem and bootloader from the stock firmware: [url]https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70452245&postcount=2[/URL]

4.4 bootloader + modem (DTM): I can flash LOS in TWRP without a problem (but doesn't boot up, boot loop)

6.0.1 bootloader + modem (DTM): TWRP reboots while flashing

6.0.1 bootloader + modem (DBT): TWRP reboots while flashing

From what I understand from the install instruction for LOS 15.1, the newer bootloader CQJ1 from the original 6.0.1 firmware is required.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFixItMan:
Are you not able to ota update from about phone system update from the 4.4 firmware?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsBasti:
Unfortunately I'm not able to do a OTA update. The device downloads an update to android 5, reboots, boots to recovery mode, installs the update, reboots and starts boot looping in the "Samsung Galaxy S5 powered by android" screen. After watching that for about 10 minutes I pull out the battery and try to boot to the stock recovery mode. The device then shows the screen "installing system update 25%". It never goes over 25%. At some point the device reboots itself and continues to boot loop. :\

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] TheSnipeFox:
Hello, i'm new on the forums!

I've been trying to update my phone (Honor 8) with the official update tool in the settings, but nothing is found.

But, when i go on the right corner of the update window, and i select "download the full package again", i've found an update (FRD-L09C432B407-FULL), but when i try to download it, it just starts, and directly displays a message "Download failed".

I've tried to use Firmware Finder, download an update (via VPN method), but none works, it just displays the same error ("Download failed").

My current version is FRD-L09C432B405, it's an european device (french, to be precise). It's not rooted, still on EMUI 5.0.1.

I've tried many things, but nothing worked, i don't why it doesn't want to download any update.

If somebody has a clue, i'd be glad to see it !

Thank you in advance,

TheSnipeFox

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] TheSnipeFox:
Yup i'm 100% sure, another friend who has an Honor 8 too took my cable, and everything was fine for him (Quick charge / data). So, faulty type-c port :(
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] pix106:
in system OTA app, did you try to download latest full package, instead os a simple update search ? ("Télécharger le nouveau package complet" in french :))

That's what allowed me to get an update lately.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] TheSnipeFox:
If i go for a normal update (so, the normal "check updates" button), it just doesn't find any update. If i try "télécharger le nouveau package complet", it finds the "FRD-L09C432B407-FULL" update, but it fails to download it. When i press "download and install", it waits for ~1second, and displays the error "download failed" :(
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] pix106:
Do you have an adblocker which could prevent from downloading ? If not, I'd suggest to clear system updates data and try again.
[HTC Wings] sx66_fl:
PROBLEM: touchscreen is not responding and after a hard reset (recommended by T-Mobile not so saavy techs) I got stucked in the "TAP THE SCREEN TO SETUP YOUR WINDOWS MOBILE DEVICE" and since there is no "ESCAPE" button to skip this screen, I had a pretty much useless phone, I could only receive calls but not able to place any calls or have access to the start menu or any other function pretty much.

SOLUTION: after hours searching all over the internet, I found a very nice - FREE! - application designed for blind people to "SKIP" the align process, http://www.codefactory.es/en/ by CodeFactory. The application is called "REMOTE SCREEN ALIGNMENT" it is very easy and a quick way to skip the screen alignment process.

CONCLUSION: although it will not fix the unresponsive touch screen, it will at least let you access your phone through the buttons and slide out keyboard.

P.S.: there are many other tools and free apps there for a lot other phones.

ENJOY!

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Purecut:
Hi,

as you know the steps for the speaker/headset and phone volume are not so smooth in Z5C stock rom. You can edit them in a easy way without hacking any files. To edit the values you need a rooted phone.

Steps:

1. You to system and open the build.prop. For this I use the app BuildProp Editor from the playstore BuildProp Editor, but you also take the internal text editor.

2. Open the file build.prop

3. insert at the end of the file these two entries:

ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=6
ro.config.media_vol_steps=30

4. save the file and restart your phone.

Bingo - you have now many more steps for vol +/-

The first code line is for call volume

The second code line for media volume

Tested on Z5C 32.4.A.1.54 - stock rom

You can use any number of steps that you want.

Enjoy :)

Remember: You are responsible for everything that you are doing with your phone.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] plusminus_:
I will try adding these settings with resetprop in a service.d script and see if it works :p

Results: nothing changed when I put the script in service.d, but it works perfectly in post-fs-data.d

[LG V20 Accessories] woldranger:
I've just picked up a refurbed H910 and want to add at least 2 spare batteries, but as the phone was never released here in the UK AND it's 2 years old, finding batteries that aren't rubbish "ebay knock-offs" really isn't easy. Does anyone over here have any suggestions? Ideally I'd like to keep the phone for 12-18 months but I'm not wanting to spend the earth having units sent direct from LG. For my Samsung phones, I used to buy Anker or RavPower batteries and they were great. I'd happily get some from the US if I can sort out a way of getting them out to me.

Also, finding the genuine external charging cradle is proving to be a nightmare - the phone has only cost me £155, so spending £50 on a charger seems crazy! If anyone has an old one they're not using and fancies selling it to me, just let me know (I'd pay to ship from the US).

Fingers crossed I can get something and get myself a great set up!

(Next job, rooting and sticking a custom recovery on so I can de-bloat it!)
[LG V20 Accessories] buongu:
genuine batteries are becoming more and more like unicorns for this phone.

Unless you go directly to an LG store, where they also provide servicing, you have practically no chance to find a genuine one.

on the net they all sell "oem" versions, which are definitely knock offs.

bear in mind that LG is going to charge you over 40 quid for that battery, with the excuse that it's an imported item.

the best solution I found was buying a Perfine 3200mah battery on amazon. Perfine boys have a good reputation with their batteries, virtually there's no difference from the original battery, it lasts just the same, I couldn't be happier.
[LG V20 Accessories] woldranger:
Yeah I remember seeing you had mentioned that brand on another thread. I guess at least with it being Amazon, if there are any issues I can contact them.

Have you found an external charger here in the UK?
[LG V20 Accessories] Unsolved_Mistry:
Using a perfine 6400 extended battery is a worthy upgrade, I was against extended batteries as ienjoued the slim profile but this thing is a beast, 2 days heavy usage and I can always switch to the OEM battery for parties etc when I need a slim giant 5.7' device to fit in my jeans.

The battery cradle and OEM spare (last time I checked) are available on eBay from sellers like chiangiairport etc. For around £30-£40 I'll check when I get back home for you. But honestly the extended batteries are awesome.
[LG V20 Accessories] woldranger:
Thanks but I really can't see me going down the extended battery route - I had one on my first ever smartphone and rarely used it, I'd rather pick up 2 spare batteries.

If you can find a link to one of those sellers, that would be fantastic!

I'm looking into rooting my H910 today but it looks like quite the minefield! It was a LOT more straightforward with the Samsung's I had - only one or 2 methods and it was easy to see which was currently working!
[LG V20 Accessories] One Twelve:
Possibly. Turns out the V20 uses the same size battery as the Stylo 3 aka the

Stylus 3

which as i understand DID get released in the UK. Ask LG UK about a spare battery for the Stylus 3 ?

[YOUTUBE]0KBU0eUR5PA[/YOUTUBE]

See the comments in youtube for this video

Charger is a tricky one. The V20 was released in India. Unfortunately LG India didn't release the charger here like they did with the G4 & G5. So i had to import mine from the US and it worked out around 75 quid OEM with a battery as well. This was last Nov. Likely harder to find now a days
[LG V20 Accessories] lukem99626:
Lg uk wont help at all even for the stylo 3 battery there useless and refer you to the horrror centre that is sbe ltd that tell you to call lg hahabthe vest way around it was to use replacebase battery
[LG V20 Accessories] dumpystig:
https://www.replacebase.co.uk/for-lg-v20-replacement-battery-bl-44e1f-3080mah-oem/

I've just ordered a new battery for my H990ds.

Excellent company to deal with.

I've had a Sony Z2 battery from them, genuine OEM part - too many vendors state OEM part but supply ****ty copies.
[LG V20 Accessories] woldranger:
Can you do me a favour and let me know how you get on with this? I might have a look around online and see if someone's posted any info how you check the difference between the fakes and genuine units and get back to you, if that's ok?

I bought one of these a few weeks ago and it's performing around the same as the factory battery. I'm a little disappointed to only be getting around 4 hours SOT, but it'll have to do - this is the last top phone I can see that'll have removable batteries (a must have for my travels) so I'd rather swap it out once a day if need be than potentially have 7+ with my Xiaomi Note 5 but get caught out having to charge mid way through the day when I'm on the road.

Have you found an external charger over here? All I can see are things like this
[LG V20 Accessories] dumpystig:
The batteries supplied by Replace Base are all guaranteed genuine OEM items, there's no need to research if you buy from them. The LG battery is only a quid more (including postage) than the grey item you purchased from Amazon.

I use two mains chargers:

- dodocool QC 3.0 18Watt, purchased two years ago from Amazon

- kit QC 2.0, purchased from Asda two months ago

Both work fine and charge at the faster rates.

I also have the LG BCK-5200 charging kit.

The 'charger' you linked is a pos, I'd not entertain anything like that... the appearance and price tell you a lot.
[LG V20 Accessories] woldranger:
I've seen a lot of "genuine" OEM accessories over the years and have come across quite a few sites and sellers who claim their stock to be genuine, but I prefer to check than to take their word for it. I've had zero dealings with the site you mention and have never had the name come up before so I'm obviously dubious. I'm not sure what you said the battery I linked was "grey" as it's not a parallel import, it's just a third party unit, but it does come with an 18 month warranty and through Amazon. I've read about some of the genuine LG V20 batteries being old stock and not performing well. But if you're happy with the one(s) you've received then that's great.

Mains chargers aren't an issue (though personally I've no desire to use QC as it's likely to degrade the batteries quicker than a regular charge), it's only the external that I'm looking for. LG BCK-5200 are like hens teeth, I've been looking for one in this country for around 2 months, the cheapest I can find is through ebay from Israel for £35 which is way too much for a plastic charging cradle! I've had similar ones from Samsung and they performed no differently from a cheap third party unit I had for my last HTC which is actually similar to the "pos" one that I linked. I'm hoping to find an LG one but refuse to pay £35 plus £12+ per battery for a phone that cost me £155 a month ago - that's crazy. Surely someone out there must have a dead V20 and want rid of theirs?!

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] gerrard8pool:
I was attempting to update my unlocked and rooted phone to 9.0. Did the usual process of extracting the factory image and removing the -w from the flash all script.

Used fastboot to attempt to flash the update and it seemed to succeed. I then attempted to reboot the device, but it began to bootloop many times just after the G logo appeared. I shut down the device and when I turned it back on it went to the bootloader screen.

Now when I tell it to start it simply returns to the bootloader screen. Fastboot and adb do not detect any devices. If i send it to recovery and attempt to perform a factory reset it says it goes through, but after rebooting it then returns to the bootloader screen. It also says my device state is still unlocked, which seems like it shouldn't be the case after a successful reset.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] maliniaka:
I think that you should try reinstall your adb and fastboot drivers and use deuce script. You can try also small things like changing USB slot or rebooting your computer. Hope that I will help you.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
First, reset won't change lock state which is good.

Power it off then hold power and volume down. That will get you to fastboot mode. Since you already reset it put the -w back in and flash it again.
