[Q] Different Software Build Number on My VZW One?

Hey All,
Long-time lurker, first-time post. Previous smartphones were Nexus devices (Sprint Nexus S, VZW Galaxy Nexus), so I never really needed to post. Everything was all there to tinker with.
I got the VZW HTC One a day or two after the HTCDev unlock was blocked, so I am stock, locked, and non-rooted. Quite an adjustment going from crack-flasher to locked-down, but I digress.
I was browsing around and noticed that an OTA was being pushed out, updating from 1.10.605.8 to 1.10.605.10. Having seen some others screwed by OTA updates, I know better than to even try to check for one, let alone accept installation. That, however, is where it gets interesting for me. I noticed that I am running 1.10.605.2. I haven't seen anything via Google searches, nor have I seen anything else on XDA regarding this build version.
So, on to my question: Can I be of any help with this build version that I can find no other mention of elsewhere? I work all day and have a wife and son at home, so I'm not on much, but I do check the forums in the mornings and evenings. If there's anything I can provide from my device that could be of help to someone, let me know, and I will do everything I can to provide it.

If you can, screenshot the software number in the About Device section.

what does your box say?
there will be a sticker on your phones box it came in, on the outside, it will say what software version it has installed, see if it even matches..
also check the IMEI
also is your phone S-ON?
maybe you got some early version that is S-OFF?
I am sure you would have seen but figured I'd ask.
Here is mine.

I'll check the box when I get home, as long as my wife hasn't disposed of it yet... She doesn't see the value of keeping OEM packaging.
Definitely S-ON though...

very strange, what about an update? you should be able to take the OTA.
but if you want root, don't take it.

Okay so I'm home, and I have the box. The version part of the label is as yours is. It's a relabel. See attached picture. I zoomed way in on yours, and underneath your label, it has the old version, as mine does. Mine just didn't actually get updated, I guess.

So now the question is, can this be useful in the exploit/unlock hunt, or is it just a fluke with currently unknown repercussions? Since my HBOOT is the same, I'm leaning towards fluke.
Anyway, if anyone wants me to try anything, let me know, and I will try as time permits.

Unfortunately I don't think it is useful unless it had a lower hboot or something, we can't downgrade, and whatever exploit that may have been in that software may have been patched before release and took longer to release who knows.

[Q] Noise coming from the back of the phone

Hi guys.
I own a G3 32GB International/Unlocked from about a week or so. At first I ran the 4.4.2 stock firmware, until two days ago I was prompted to install the v20e lolipop update, stock too. At first it seemed a bit laggy, especially in the home screen. Yesterday I performed a factory reset, and so far, with half of the apps I used to have, it seems to be working a bit better, hopefully. [That's a brief intro just in case, lol]
So, onto the matter. A couple of hours ago I noticed some static noise coming from the back of my phone, mainly around the power/volume buttons. I hear it when I bring the phone close to my ear, otherwise I don't. When the screen is off, it's either way too quiet, gone at all, or there's a slight repetative clicking sound(maybe from the camera but I kind of doubt that). But my main concerns are when the screen is on - that's when the noise is louder and constant(still have to bring my phone to the ear to hear it, though). Furthermore, whenever I do something on the screen - i.e. sliding, opening an app, etc. - I start hearing this "working mechanism" sound(I couldn't think of a better way to describe it atm), until I stop doing anything - then it just resumes to the constant static noise. My question is - is this harmful to the device? If so, what do I do? Should I worry about this? Has anyone else experienced this "working mechanism" sound when using the phone? What have they done to fix it, if they have?
P.S. - The last thing I remember doing before I noticed the noises is copying most of my old photos and music from my PC to the internal storage. Around 1-2 gigs.
P.P.S. - The sound sliiiiightly resembles a hard drive I think.

Hardrive-type squeal/whir from back of G3
I'm having the same issues!
I have a very sensitive ear so my LG G3 is giving me a headache at the moment.
My phone is brand new--it has been out of the box for a few days, got a full charge, was activated/powered on Dec. 24th at around 11:30pm. So it's been in use less than 2 days. I have hardly any software/apps aside from stock installed at the moment.
I did install two apps this morning before the noise started, so they might be the main cause.
The sound is very much like a tiny hard drive, so I'm thinking maybe one or both of the new apps are running in the background and beating up the poor phone. Just not sure if this is normal for the G3 or not?
Right now I'm having trouble putting up with the sound while typing so I hope there is a way to quiet it down

Hope this helps. I owned my g3 for a few months now. When i first got it. Ive heard the noise. It dosent bother me tho. But that sounds like the cpu going. Then again coud be the ssd. So far i have not had any issues with the phone

Nope. All's running good so far, God bless. Guess the noise is just the processor working or something like that, it's still here.
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA Free mobile app

Highly unlikely it's the processor.
What it could be is a loose capacitor. If it became unsoldered or if it lost some of the soldering, it can vibrate under stress and create noise. See with other G3 phones, if you don't hear it on others - send yours in for warranty repairs.

been meaning to update this. my g3 died lol but it was not the cpu. some reason my antenna went bad. phone still worked with wifi. i got a new g3 via worrenty replacement new phone has the noise.
as for your answer yes the phone was working fine. as for the antenna went bad i think i know what caused it. just keep your phone away from strong magnets. my laptop has a few of those cause itwas working an hour ago when i tried to use it

Dropped Calls

I came form the M8 and never had dropped calls. I have had this phone for 4 days now and have had call trouble at least 8 times. I haven't been using it in any new or low coverage areas. I have disabled HD calling to see if that is the issue. Anyone else having trouble?

I would guess the HD calling is the culprit...depending on where you are at, if your LTE signal isn't consistently strong and your phone is switching between 4G/3G etc the call drops from what I've read. I am in NJ, so most of the state is bathed in 4G....but I definitely drive through some areas that still drop to 3G....I'll test it out over the next few days.

I know this is an old post but I have been having this issue lately and I can't figure it out. I have flashed many ROM's and still the same issue. I popped my sim into my old M8 and the drop call issue is gone. The call always drops at the beginning of the call it is extremely aggravating. I was just wondering if you have figured out this issue? I am afraid s-off may have caused it. I have disabled advanced calling and get the same issue. It is looking like I might have to send it back for warranty but not sure the best way to return to stock since we have no RUU. If anyone can help me with this please do. Thanks

On my 3rd replacement
On verizon, never had issues with dropped calls before in my house/surrounding area (from incredible, rezound, Galaxy s4, wife's iphone) for the past 8 years and now service with my m9 is horrendous. Im on my 3rd replacement from verizon with the same issue. I get dropped calls/missed calls/texts unable to send non stop in my home area and when Im in anything less than perfect signal wise. Sometimes it will take 5-10 mins from when i get in my car to switch from 1x to 4g while my wife's phone and previous phones never were in 1x. Anything I can possibly do or am I stuck with this issue? Not rooted unfortunately. My next step with htc was a replacement through them. Any suggestions?

This phone like many new phones has a single radio. If you start a call on 4g and fall off 4g the call goes. That is not a fault of the phone but moreso the way the death of cdma is playing out.
You may want to find a 4g network extender or get vzw to give you one.

Need help if possible - TMobile locked the phone

I tried a new kernel and using Odin all seemed to have gone well, phone booted up without a problem. After I wen to unlock it this message appears (see picture attached) and I'm unable to connect to the network via data. I have tried everything I can think of, flashing old kernel back odined back to stock firmware and the damn thing won't go away. Even went by TMobile in the off chance they can unlock it but the the rep talking with technical help was able to see the software had been modified in some way and directed me to call Samsung technical help.
Anyone come across this problem that can make a suggestion on how to correct it? BTW on wifi everything works including calls (wifi calling) data, etc.

yup tried that also

The only way to correct/avoid this would be to not enable security protocol in settings and then make your system "custom" by using odin.
This is the Samsung "gotcha" for messing with phone in a way that borks it.

Yeah they got me alright, I have never faced a problem like this one and have been able to recover from most anything I've tried, either by myself or with a little help from members here with Odin or adb. So I already wiped the phone completely and odined back to complete stock 5.1.1, obviously that did not work so there is no way to restore the efs IEMI data?
Which of the security protocols and by custom using odin, do you mean flashing a rom with the protocols adjusted?

He Steve, just thought I would follow up with you on this. Final verdict is to date as far as I could find there is no fixing the situation I was in. When that msg pops up, the phone is toast and there is nothing you can do except replace the phone. I spoke with T-Mobile upper technical management and they explained what happened is the security software in the device has detected root and disabled the IEMI from receiving or transmitting any data. Once that happens the warranty is voided and even a customer who's been with them for the last for the last 15 years can't get a break. They have a strict policy on rooted or software altered phones and will not want anything to do with them (the warranty warning is clear) can confirm that a phone has been tampered with even without having the physical phone in hand. So bottom line is something goes wrong with root or afterwards forget about any support or warranty exchange with T-Mobile. they will check security software and will know if you have tripped Knox.

The new "brick".
Sorry about your situation but it goes to show how Samsung is treating this phone, like a dang eyephone.

If you have insurance you can claim it stolen and pay the deductible and get another phone.

This might seem like a question out of left field, but the phone that you modified that T-Mobile blocked, was it bought / leased directly from T-Mobile, or was it done through a 3rd party like a Rent-A-Center or something like that?

I've been thinking about this and it just doesn't make sense. If it is your phone, it's yours. They don't care what you do with it. But if you screw it up and you're rooted it gives them the opportunity to deny warranty. Which 9 times out of 10 they still honor warranty because they are clueless. There is more to this story.

Much more, and I really wanna know exactly why this happened..

Nexus 5x Keeps Rebooting Itself..

New Nexus 5x.
I've updated to the latest stock, tried custom roms, and factory reset. The screen will randomly freeze and reboot itself. Is this happening to anyone else?

I haven't seen this with my own eyes, but every now and then I'll take the phone out of my pocket and after giving my fingerprint, it'll say "pattern unlock required after restart." So it is somehow rebooting while in my pocket? (Been stock/unrooted since I got; just OTA updates.)

The question is: HOW did you do all that flashing/wiping/factory reset? Sounds as if you did something not quite right...

I'm currently back on stock. I did a factory reset as instructed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206930
Locked bootloader. No Root. It just rebooted once after about 3 hours of use. Not really sure what to try next :crying:

Just got the device yesterday and it's happening to me too. Locked bootloader, stock.. tried with custom rom / kernel. Just flashed another kernel and I'll see what happens now. Another reboot and I'll call for a warranty replacement. That's what I would do if I were in your shoes too. Must be an internal problem with electronics or voltages or something.
edit: just happened again. Returning the device for another one.

No I don't believe that is so. At least not with me it isn't. First time I started the device it did a system update, rebooted, and I opened up my Chrome browser and it rebooted. There is something wrong with the device and I have a replacement on the way. I also tried after that to unlock bootloader, flash the M update image, reboot. Custom rom, kernel, reboot. It happens, no big deal other than to start all over again when the new one comes. It's a relief to see that it's not just me, however.

That's great to know I'm not alone. Could you post where you went to get a replacement?

I called Google. Warranty replacement.
edit: Since the new device won't get here for about a week I decided to factory reset, lock bootloader with the L image from Google. @berndblb got me thinking that perhaps something may have screwed up. Then I unlocked since I will not need a device that is not unlocked. Anyway, restoring apps now and I'll post back if that cleared things up.
edit2: Reboot on full stock unlocked bl. It's going back for sure.

Did you ever get your replacement? If so, have you seen any more reboots?
This has still been happening to me pretty frequently. Bone stock since I bought the phone. Anyone else?

Yes, I got the replacement. Haven't had a single reboot since. There was something wrong with the phone I presume.

Yeah.. I sent mine back the second day I had it. No reboots now. Definitely a defected device. It's easy, just call Google tell me you have frequent reboots. They'll send you a UPS stamp to send it to Texas, as well as send you a replacement for free.

Thanks guys. How long were you without a phone for in the meantime?

They give you free next day shipping! You just have to choose next day shipping when you choose the replacement.
