I am working my master plan to getting a new phone lol...
Does anyone know where I can find a picture of a G2/VISION's ABOUT PHONE stats before its been rooted or a roms been put on it? I dont wanna call TMOBILE and they ask me certain things like the software version and android version I'm running and I give them the information based off what rom I have.
Unless someone knows what those would be off the top of their heads.
Most phones have different factory shipped software, so what in particular are you looking for?
The reason its tough to answer is because you didn't state any info of value. Are you trying to exchange/return? Are you wanting to buy a new one?? I mean that kind of important don't you think?
If its a warranty exchange they won't ask you for any software numbers only ask about damages.
If buying a new one who cares anyways.
If those are wrong please fix your question.
Thanks

So... you're trying to scam the T-mobile CS support by giving them false information about a non-rooted phone rather than your rooted phone.
If you're going to get a warranty return and replacement the least you can do is unroot your phone (you'll have to when you return it...(or ffs at least put a stock pre-rooted ROM back on it)) when you call in so if you're not confident in your ability to BS them you can have the real numbers ready....
just downgrade and unroot.....

Just whatever info in the ABOUT PHONE STATS for a phone that hasn't been rooted and modded. Software version and stuff like that...
I have a G2 but I have had an issue and had several replaced because it'll just randomly shut off sometimes. And since I've replaced it quite a few times already I was ready to just ask them to replace my phone with something else.
Only thing is I just want to have that information so as they ask me I can be like this is what I have.

just load a stock pre-rooted ROM on your phone. Could've had it done by now...

I think his phone has problems, cause he mentioned about it rebooting, so I guess he cant downgrade?

I have some info I logged down before rooting, but its from a stock Desire Z, not a T-Mobile version, will that do?
BTW: Another guy had similar reboot problems too here
I'm just curious if anyone else here besides me is still on the ATT 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 only because they are still skeptical about updating or just refuse to accept it, and the reasons why. I feel like I'm the bad guy around here because I refuse to rush and play with the latest toy (Ooops, I mean the 4.3 update).
I'm even reading some of the members, and even some devs here wondering why some people are refusing to update, because you can do just about anything on the new bootloader that you can do on the old ones.
Well, I always thought that us rooters who are non-developers are not suppose to accept OTA updates from our carriers, and should only be flashing the Roms from our developers (good devs by the way). OTAs tend to fix previous issues and attempt to make the phones more secure, but at the same time, create new issues and further lock down the phones.
Look at all the posts around here right now that are just filled with 4.3 issues. One of the most common for example: (I'm having issues, have soft bricked, or just don't like the update?) Is there a way to flash back to complete 4.3 stock so that I can start over? No! And without any official firmware released from AT&T, if something goes wrong with your phone, then all you have to flash is a custom ROM, which I was taught that we should be doing any way, while avoiding the OTAs.
I just want to see here if there is anyone else thinking the same way and why, or is this just going to turn into people who OTA-ed becoming defensive.

For starters i can't imagine why anyone who is rooted and running a custom ROM would ever dream of installing an official OTA. By the time the carrier's have had time to update their own ROM and distribute the update it will have long been incorporated into most custom ROM's. Point and case is 4.3 (which i have been running thanks to Task650 for many months)...boom all of a sudden you are stuck with a bootloader that you cannot change, or how about the case of the S4's who blindly or unknowing installed an OTA that gives them a locked bootloader that cant be downgraded (in the case of those of us with carriers who are evil bastards). The only case where i would personally find it 'acceptable' to install official OTA's is someone who has no interest in rooting or installing any custom software to their device. Yes the current S3 bootloader is rootable but one day, probably the next (if there is one) update i would imagine it will be locked down like the new devices. Its sad to say but the direction Google seems to be moving all Android devices may end up this way which will be a dark day indeed.

I don't think it's Google locking the devices down. It's the manufacturers: Samsung, HTC, Motorola, etc... that are incorporating the locked bootloaders. I may be wrong, but that's the way it seems.

Yes currently its the manufacturers, at the behest of the carriers...hence why att and verizon are locked on the s4 and up samsung devices but not sprint or tmo. I was simply stating that if things continue to go the way they seem to be with googles decisions moving forward with android it could end up that way.
They can lock em down but you know some talented dev will find a way in

True, but that can take months, and until then, you're stuck.
Can always buy a dev version or a nexus

I'll wait until the dev 4.3 rom stable then flash. Not much difference IMO.

Same here.
I wonder if for some reason another toy (Ooops, update) comes to this phone, will the rooters who OTA-ed, and then re-rooted or flashed another ROM (and tripped their new warranty bit counters in the process) be able to receive the new update, or will it be blocked because of the counter increment, and once again, will have to rely on custom ROMs, which they should already be doing?

...Anything, except flashing back to stock for reflashing purposes or for warranty service or resetting the Knox warranty bit. OTA may also damage resale value, among other downsides.

There are diverse camps among the rooters & other members here. Through my GS1, GS2 & GS3 I've used mostly debloated stock TW roms; for work, on the road constantly & needing a maximum stable daily driver; like other stock TW enthusiasts.
Apart from user (flashing) errors, the stability, the flexibility & connectivity complaints you cited are what I measured against when deciding to flash a 4.3 rom, kernel & modem from |ROM|Bootloader|Kernel|Modem| AT&T Official 4.3 MJB |24 Nov 2013| .
What designgears, upndwn4par, loserskater & the others have posted on multiple threads I read & reread here before flashing allowed me to attempt the 4.3 upgrade with a solid backout plan & maximum control, reaching my desired result:
Stable, debloated (by me, it's personal) permission edited (using App Ops) battery optimized 4.3 using the same bootloader as on 4.1.2.
The resources exposed in that one thread I linked, plus miles of reading in prep here on XDA showed me how to have the upgrade my way, so even stock a enthusiast can get a first class passage thanks to our devs. Buy them a drink when you can!
Hi, I have about a week old LG G3. Now, I like the phone's features, but I am thinking I want to try Pure Android to enjoy the hardware even further. I need T-Mobile Wi-Fi Calling at the very least. That's very important to my device. I want to enjoy some of the LG features if possible but in an AOSP setting. Is there a specific rom that has Wi-Fi Calling and pure Android at the very least? Can you unvoid your warranty as well if you root the LG G3? Is the bootloader unlocked on the T-Mobile LG G3?

Nope no wifi calling in aosp but theres a good chance android L will support wificalling nativly so cyanogenmod 12 will probably be your choice when it comes out
You can never unvoid you can only cover your tracks and hope they dont realize you voided in the first place
Tmobile g3 is unlock out of the box you dont need to do anything to unlock it.

With my past experiences with tmobile they generally don't care about rooting so long as the device is working fully, they end up either sending it back to LG to get it restored or they do it in the store.
You can however unroot if you really want and nothing would happen.
I think I have figured out that 10 is for L and 20 is for M.
What do the letters mean, does it mean that 10N is newer then 10G?
I just wanted to load the latest version on L for my phone which is H812.
Looking at this page confuses the crap out of me.
http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/country.php?country=Canada
Well, in my case (I got an AT&T G4; H810) it's exactly as you say: the last version before Marshmallow was 10o, then it jumped to a 20 nomenclature (in Marshmallow, 20n build version)
In your case, it's a canadian variant. Maybe you should check the carrier or whoever distributes the phone's website and check which was the last version before Marshmallow; it should be somewhere..
Did someone say my name?

I know about this thread. It does not really answer my question though. I also don't seem to be able to find stock kdz of H812 100 which I think should be latest L build.

The letters might as well literally mean nothing to you because they are all basically the exact same thing. This whole "Oh I need the newest latest update on my phone" bs is completely ludicrous. Just use the updates that are there. If you can't find it, it's because no one had it, or no one had the decency to give it to me to upload to the OP. Not that they make a lick of difference anyways because they are all the exact same with the exception to small security patches and improvements that you wont even notice.
Good luck.

Thanks I will keep using H81210N, pretty happy with it, rooted with xposed.

Anyone heard of this method actually working? I'm a long time lurker so please bear with me. This method claims to work with this specific variant of the S6 Edge+ but I see bounties out on this device for root so I'm kind of skeptical. It says it works with the latest 6.0.1 update for the SM-G928A.

Yeah I've been wanting to delete this ridiculous thread. Read a few mins before posting and later went back and read it again. Completely embarrassed. On this XDA App I can't delete the thread or I'm just that incompetent haha. I'm logging into my PC soon to rid this topic.
yeah I installed that software from that website. and once you install it and get it going it will tell you IT DOESNT SUPPORT THAT DEVICE. which is BS because they lied in the first place saying that software could root it. and it doesn't. what a waste of time.
btw I was talking about the galaxy s6 edge plus at&t (g928a)
