[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
Morning.

The way out of this is to flash either the firmware that is on your phone or just the bootloader file (BL) from that firmware. Both options are done via Odin with your phone in download mode. So just to be clear, Download Mode is availble before the phone looks at the boot partition.

So, hold volumedown+home+power (press and hold the power button last in this sequence).

You may notice that your phone won't go into downlaod first time but it should not take more than 3/4 attempts.

Do Not

release the buttons until Downlaod Mode appears, no matter how many attempts it takes. Keep them pressed the whole time even when it's powering off and on, this is the part people do wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Iztooi:
Hello,

The idea was to flash something on my phone to restore it, but download mode isn't available for me

That's it.

But even if I keep the combination pressed the phone doesn't enter in download mode. Usually (and I've seen a good amount of videos) if you keep volume down + home + power pressed, the phone boots up, then goes into the bootloader exception, then it reboots, then it goes into the exception and so on until it gets to download mode. That's not my case. I tried to keep them pressed for 10-15 minutes while it was showing the error and there was no more than one "attempt" (it doesn't restart more than one time per combination).

The fact is that it doesn't power off and on multiple times, but just one time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
I'm this case you'll need to use ADB and side load to flash a new bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Iztooi:
But how can I use ADB and sideload if 1. the device doesn't go in recovery mode and 2. it's not even recognized with "adb devices" maybe because of the fact that it doesn't go on recovery mode?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
Ok forget that one for now.

Try the following.

Boot phone so the error appears.

Then just press and hold the Home button only until the Android robot appears on screen.

Now press volume down+home+power and it should after a few seconds reboot into downlaod mode, if it does just repeat the process from the start.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Iztooi:
I'm guessing my phone is one of the older version. Pressing repeatedly the Home button or holding it should trigger the "forced upload by key pressing" with the android logo (as i've seen in videos and images), but mine doesn't.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
OK, the only sensible conclusion is that your phone has suffered some sort of hardware failure, its isn't unheard of. It'll likely cost you more to diagnose and repair than to buy a new S7 since their really cheap now.

It may be worth just looking to get your data recovered, which will be cheaper.

I'm not a fan of changing the mother board it's messy and the phone will never look perfect.

What country are you in?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Iztooi:
Italy.

I honestly don't care about the phone, it has not sentimental value or something. Since I read here, on reddit, youtube and online that there were method like keeping pressed the combination, pressing the home button repeatedly or holding, using a jig, and others maybe someone knew what could I do to restore it. The weird thing was that I wasn't flashing anything nor using the phone, so the hardware failure option may be plausible.

The recovery of data (and I tried when I wrote my last post to re-use adb, maybe i was missing something but the phone is "recognized" by the computer but not with "adb devices") is the only solution I can think of, and there's the chip-off method that could at least recover the major data (photos, videos, documents). If there's anything else I'm all ears.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] kpwnApps:
I assume youre in upload mode. Press only power button for 20 seconds
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Iztooi:
Pressing the power button for even a minute doesn't trigger anything. I assume that you're talking about the upload mode activated by holding the home button or pressing it repeatedly, showing the android logo and having adb recognize the device to then flash something or recover something. That is not my case, it doesn't happen to me unfortunately.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] kpwnApps:
Buy an usb jig they still work for galaxy s7. It might get you out and they are 3-5$ so you got nothing to lose
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Iztooi:
I already did that, but sadly it didn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] kpwnApps:
Then it might be an UFS hardware fault
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] draco18:
I have the exact same problem. This is the closest thing I could find on the internet I could find regarding diagnosing it. Had to make an account just to reply. I was thinking it was a OS problem for the longest time, but I suspect that it may be a hardware problem after all. My s7 did this to me the morning of Jan 9. Set it down and came back to it, reboot with bootloader error, red text only, no combinations of buttons work etc. I see that two others in the thread had theirs fail around the same time as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] draco18:
Just wanted to update, not sure if anyone is still reading this thread. I plugged my s7 onto my old laptop (windows 7). My laptop recognized it and installed 2 drivers. They are:

"SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device"

"SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem #2"

I've plugged into this old laptop before and transferred files around, so it doesn't seem to make sense to me why it would install these drivers now. It still doesn't show up in "My computer" at all. I believe normally it shows up in "My computer" as an empty folder when charging although I don't recall 100%. Hopefully this might help with diagnosing this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Iztooi:
Probably it's because when it's in recovery mode, in download mode or this (bootloader) "error mode" it's recognized differently by the computer, to be recognized by ADB and Odin to flash roms and others. Instead when you plug it in when it's on, it's recognized to transfer data, and I believe when you swap MTP (for normal data transfer) and PTP (using the camera) you should also installing different drivers.

Anyway, I noticed too that the device is recognized differently than usual, and differently when rebooting it with the cable plugged in. (Also the name of the device is different when using the 300k tool, in fact my device is recognized as a "Modem")
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] draco18:
I was wondering if you installed any apps recently and how full your internal memory was. I believe my phone was around 90% full of the 32GB, had no warning symbol about how full my memory was though. Friend was saying I should of got a warning if my memory was getting near capacity. I installed F-droid recently and used it to download Adaway app. Deleted F-droid and deleted Adaway since I couldn't get Adaway to work. Never rooted my phone. I was curious if you also did anything similar to what my phone did since we're in the same boat. Otherwise the only things we share in common is we set it down and it reboot with this bootloader error.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Iztooi:
I didn't install any app recently before that error but my memory was almost full (30-31 of 32GB). Also I rooted this device in the past, then I reset factory data, to re-install a clean stock rom. I didn't have any problem since the clean install (like freezes, crash or unusual lag spikes) then the error happened. The only thing I did before leaving the device in idle was activating the plane/offline mode which I de-activated about an hour after, and then I think 2 or 3 hours passed before the bootloader exception.

It doesn't come to mind anything else of note, I used the phone during the day with "usual" app I use every day (WhatsApp, Telegram, Youtube, Chrome, Discord, Reddit and different authentication app by Google, Blizzard and Steam); The charger wasn't even plugged in during the idle time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] draco18:
I think I finally found the solution. I read found 2 threads regarding the s7 edge. Apparently the motherboard is a very common problem is the s7 series and fails a lot. Gives the bootloader error when it happens

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Iztooi:
Yeah, that's what I guessed, I don't think that's a solution though :D. The issue is that if you replace the motherboard, the eMMC is replaced as well, and since S7 (and S7 Edge) are not the best devices, you have to replace the screen too (When you open it to change the motherboard, the screen would eventually break, as far as I know it's very difficult to replace it without breaking the screen).

The only thing I hoped was to recover the data.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] draco18:
I just want to get the data off, don't care if it breaks after. I found a cellphone repair company near me that does microsoldering. Hoping they can take out my eMMC and put it on a new board so I can get the data off it. Otherwise it's data recovery.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] JimiBz:
Yes, my US version does.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] droidnew:
Just recently got the unlocked version with the dual screen bundle (LM-G850QM). I'm using it on Verizon and the Wi-Fi calling is working! Just FYI as Wi-Fi calling never works on Verizon with unlocked phone that didn't come from Verizon. I did already have a Verizon SIM.....
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] ppczouz:
No such option on the Canadian model.

Not even VoLTE.

I'm on the Rogers network, btw.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] atirox:
Wi-Fi Calling (and other features such as VoLTE) are supported by the LG G8X so long as your carrier has enabled them.

I find it odd that you don't have the option fir VoLTE Or VoWi-Fi... Rogers (at least last time I checked) supported all the IMS features, being VoLTE, ViLTE, VoWi-Fi, and ViWi-Fi. Is your phone purchased from Rogers?
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Deaddpool:
Mine has it on Bell.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] ppczouz:
True, Rogers support all the services, but they seem to operate on a white-listing model. If the device is not in their allow list, those features will not work.

Another example is the OnePlus phones, same thing.

But usually I see the option but it just wouldn't work. On my phone, it doesn't show at all. Unless LG software hides it automatically, I'd say its not there in the firmware.

This is an unlocked carrier-free Canadian model, not a Rogers phone. Rogers don't actually offer it at all.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] atirox:
Aaahhh.... That makes sense. I tried porting a HTC 10 from Bell to Rogers and had the same issue. They told me it was because the phone wasn't on their whitelist of allowed devices, even though I had the service working under Bell. I'd be willing to bet that the IMS Config file indicates that its to hide VoLTE and VoWi-Fi unless the network supports it. You can try using *#546368#*850# and see if it gives you options for VoLTE in the hidden menus. Likely under IMS Settings.

I can vouch for the G8X on Telus. It does support VoLTE and VoWi-Fi.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] sonspot:
When the LG G8X was released Rogers did not carry it, I don't think the carry G8 either, that's how much the LG brand fell, it's only fanboys or people like who gave LG another chance to do better but as you can see they are not doing better, just going on the expectation if they build it suckers will buy it.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Gagan Bhat:
Hi all,

I have managed to install Android Pie on the ATT locked bootloader H871 as they still haven't released it yet.

NOTE: Flashing this version of the android pie (from H873 actually) will remove VoLTE and Wifi Calling if you are on ATT (didn't use these much anyways), there is NO way to go back to H871 rom as ATT does not make their firmware public.

ANOTHER NOTE: Android Pie runs ultra smooth on the H871 device compared to the extreme bloatware that ATT loaded in to the default oreo that you are running right now.

There are two very important steps to go through in order to do this.

1. We will flash our H871 with H87320i (remember the 20i).

2. Then we will flash the fake H87320i (it fools the LG updater) with H87330b. This is the android pie.

For the first step use this xda tutorial (don't use the kdz that he provides, download the kdz from here instead https://lg-firmwares.com/downloads-file/18274/H87320i_00_OPEN_CA_OP_0204 the remaining steps are the same)

XDA First Step link -- https://xdaforums.com/att-g6/how-to/convert-upgrade-att-g6-to-h873-oreo-t3791848

For the second major step uninstall all the LG stuff that you installed in the previous step and follow this tutorial (make sure to use the 30b firmware provided in the xda post itself unlike last time)

https://xdaforums.com/lg-g6/how-to/lg-g6-h873-pie-beta-tutorial-t3968659

Note -- Instead of using FOTA, you can also just go into download mode and use the update/upgrade option (much quicker for me)

Let me know if you have any questions!

[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] joeshachaf:
Doesn't work on my H871 phone

I just tried this. Followed the instructions to the letter.

The first step went fine, and I could see Oreo was deployed successful and the upgrade to H873.

Then, tried the next step. Got all kind of errors when trying to flush the .up file.

No the phone is stuck on "Firmware Update" (download) mode.

Any pointers or help will be highly appreciated.

What is you current twrp recovery (file name)?

What is your current Rom(file name)?

What is your magisk version?

Is your storage encryped or decrypted?

If nothing helps(but let's see):

I recommend to factory reset(wipes everything) from stock recovery.

I have one annoying problem with default Messaging app.

When i receive SMS that i have a missed call from somebody, i can not see name of Contact, just see a number.

On every phone in Message app when you open a SMS you will see for example:

"You had a miss call from +381641234567 (Papa)"

or you need to click on that number and you will see that number is Papa.

I have P20 lite and it is exactly like that.

On Honor 20 is not like that - google message app.

If you download for example Textra - it will be just normal.

I've never built android but I've messed with java once or twice. Since the message says you're running out of heap space, maybe you ran against the max ram available on your system or you mistakenly installed java 32bit instead of 64?

If you're running it in a vm, maybe give it more?

[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Accessories] Crisisx1:
Picked up the McClaren 5g version from T-Mobile yesterday, and I'm in love with the phone, throughout. Beautiful design, hardware, software. Everything.

I wanted a protective case however did not want to cover the beautiful back.

I figure the combo is cheap enough that I can get something else if this doesn't fit my needs.

Anyone else tried either of the two products?
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Accessories] KOLIOSIS:
What combo are you referring to? (No link or images provided.)

RhinoShield has the Crash Guard bumper & a clear skin for the backside (screen protector also available).

This combo definitely fits what you're looking for.

As with all of the Crash Guard bumpers, it adds quite a bit of an increase to the overall width of the phone. If that isn't a factor one way or the other, I'd say you need to look no further.

I'm sure there's some aluminum bumpers available from eBay & the like, but, they offer little to no protection & likely have an even more uncomfortable grip vs the included case or, the RhinoShield Bumper.

[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Accessories] KOLIOSIS:
THX for posting the pix. :good:

There's several different mfgs with this design to be found on Amazon/e-Bay/Ali Express, etc......

I like the idea of clear cases in general, but, most seem to have some nagging traits....

The rainbow effect comes to mind right off the bat, as well as being a fingerprint magnet.

Most don't wear well after a few weeks of use, with scuffs/scratches.

A matte clear case may negate most of the above, but, likely will obscure the true appearance of the decorative backside.

I've seen some all-glass cases, encasing the entire phone, front & back, might not be a bad way to go.

[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Accessories] Crisisx1:
I've had luck with uag clear cases, however, as you know they aren't truly 100% transparent and clear due to their honey comb pattern design.

That all glass case is a pretty interesting design, never seen it before. I wouldn't imagine it would look as good after 3,4 drops compared to a plastic /poly case.

I'm definitely not opposed to trying a different combo if this one doesn't work, as it was less than 20 dollars. I did look into the dome whitestone glass sp, however I'm opposed to applying an actual adhesive to my screen.

Any other decent glass sp that doesn't require adhesive?
