Develop Bugs

Phone went pop and won't boot up.

Went on the market and my phone went pop and keeps bootlooping. Now I can get into the bootloader and fastboot mode but nothing else.
Now what should I do any suggestions?

Flash Google's stock images?

It went pop? Trying to picture that.

It made a pop sound, like when an old filament light blew.

restore an old backup try flashing a ROM or flash stock image

Did you do a battery pull? Sounds like it just crashed.

done a battery pull etc. just flashed stock images now and its booted up ill see how everything goes. It was just weird because I was already on stock images so I don't see how what I done made a difference.

My phone will make that speaker pop when I use ROM Manager to reboot into recovery.

Well then that's a bug in your kernel/rom you're currently using. :/. I've also had this too, but haven't seen it for approximately 2 1/2 months (first two weeks it scared the **** out of me and thought it was gonna blow the speaker, lol).

Phone Turns On When Charging Off.....

Phone turns on when charging off? Is it a faulty battery? I haven't charged my phone while it's off for awhile now and tried just now and am realizing it turns on by itself. Took the battery out for a couple of minutes and tried again, same thing. Anyone have the same issue?

Are you on a GPE ROM? If so that's how it is because we don't have the right bootloader.

I searched the thread with keyword charging and seen someone mentioned it and they said it was kernal related, so yeah I guess its normal.

Thanks Johnny Man!! I formatted data on my phone and went stock UVUAMDL, rooted with cf-auto-root just in case of OTA, lol, didn't even set up, shut it down. And it's charging, phone off. So I guess it's not hardware, that's what I was worried about. Thanks again for giving a crap, straight up, stay up Man and take it easy!!

LS980 ZVD Update Thread

Figured someone should start a thread now that its out. I had this update waiting for me this morning when I woke up. Had to replace some modified system files and then took the update. Lost root of course.
Points of note on ZVD:
Do not accept an OTA update with custom recovery or rom installed. If you have modified system files the stock files must be put back. Failure to consider this will lead you to problems you dont need. You can always .tot your device if necessary before taking the OTA, or wait (and be patient) for Devs to develop their roms to support zvd.
It does not include wifi calling.
ART Runtime is now available as an option in the Developer Menu.
It enables Knock Code.
You can reroot with ioroot 25 after update.
There were other fixes listed on Android central including:
A Google Patch
Improvements for group messaging
HD Voice Icon
Updated Email Signature
http://m.androidcentral.com/sprint-lg-g2-update-brings-knocking
I also noticed that Auto Brightness is not switching brightness up and down randomly all over the place and stays pretty well fixed but low intensity even at 100% with auto brightness enabled. Also of note is my battery draining really fast today after I updated and several restarts. Android system seemed to be running away over 28% battery usage but it seems to have settled down. Im gonna recalibrate my battery just be sure anyways. I always do after updates.
ZVD thread. Have at it!

any chance were you able to capture the file and might be able to upload it?

If I did I would have posted it but I believe some of the Devs already have the files. Dont quote me on that but I thought I had read someone grabbed it already.

ah okay sorry. but yea hopfully if one of them has it they post it soon. lol. thanks for the update on zvd tho. i went back to stock trying to see if i can get it. no luck tho

So are you able to get root again after the update?

Does anyone happen to have a copy of the original build.prob from ZVC? I changed some things up and its messing up my update.

Just out of curiosity, how do you recalibrate your battery??

I read this along time ago so hopefully Im retelling it correct. Here's what I do:
Let the phone batt run down and phone shut off completely.
Plug it in and leave the phone off till it charges to 100%.
Turn it on use phone as normal thru the day. Try not to power cycle the phone at all.
Let the batt run down again and phone shut off.
Again plug it in while off and charge to 100%.
Turn on phone with it still plugged in and when the LG screen comes up unplug it.
Your batt is now calibrated.

My G2 is stuck!
I took the ZVD update about 10 minutes ago and once the phone rebooted im suck in TWRP...what am I doing wrong??

your suppose to be fully stock to take the update. in you have a nandbackup use it now. btw i rooted using ioroot manually and installed the twrp recovery using autorec. also for some reason knock on doesnt work for me anymore. worked before zvd

ROM issues

I'm pretty sure this has been asked a lot, but I'm trying to install the "TeamSPR Rom" and i'm following the steps exactly. I still get stuck on the bootscreen with the logo with the blue LED glowing. What am I doing wrong, and this happens with TeamSPR and Renegade.
Software Version: G920PVPU3CPF4
Hardware: G920P.02
Model: SM-G920P
Android: 6.0.1

Make sure that you are rooted (goes without saying) and using the correct version of TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...uide-links-files-update-root-restore-t3366862

Saafir said:
From the information in your post, you seem to be on the right track. That ROM has taken upwards of 25 minutes to boot for some folks. As long as the blue light is slightly pulsing, it's doing it's thing. As long as you have TWRP installed and working, you should be good to go.

So pulsing plus the samsung logo, is a good thing?

And I'm using the latest TWRP.
p.s. Thank you guys so much, I'm skepticle when it somes to asking for help on forums, cuz usually people are short tempered and or a-holes. I really appreciate it though.

1 last thing, do i install/flash the OTA part after it optimizes all the apps?

finished everything, it's booted up now, but my screen is spamming "unfortunately, "APPNAME" has stopped" is that normal?
EDIT: Can't get into my text messages either.

Saafir said:
You shouldnt receive any errors. I would reboot to TWRP, do a wipe and reinstall the ROM. Let the device boot and set it up. Once all is good with the initial install, reboot to TWRP and install the update.zip. This should ensure a nice clean start.

1. Flashed ROM, waited 20 is mins.
2. Phone loaded up, restarted into TWRP and Flashed the OTA zip.
3. Phone loaded up. This is when I start getting a popup saying "Unfortunately the process android.process.acore has stopped working." and my message app still won't open after i cleared cache and data.
Thanks in advance

I did exactly that. Im currently reflashing the Full ROM taking longer at the samsung screen. But I'll wait. If all else fails I'll probably go back to stock.

I'm now back to stock 6.0.1, going to give this one more go.
Would anyone mind giving me specific step-by-step directions. please?
I feel like im forgetting something crucial.

everthing finally worked out. just having an issue with xposed literally taking hours at the boot screen

I have a rooted A52S 5G, can I install the new update through Odin, and if so will it wipe everything in my phone? Also what's a good way to backup everything, I'm talking about the apps and modifications I have installed already. Thanks in advance!

You can install the update with odin. As for backup, I use smartswitch. When I install any updates I start from scratch. I use the non_home csc to ensure it's a clean install. You may try the home_csc that will leave your phone as is as far as any apps go but you'll probably have to re-root the phone anyways. You may have minor issues as well...

Yeah, a clean installation is what I'm after as well.
So if I understood correctly, I'll just update like you do to a clean install, then root again and restore backup using smartswitch and that's it?

Perfect, should I use the same method I did last time with same magisk versions and all that? I still have April's build and rooted with Arobase's guide (I can't find it here anymore though). Thanks for all the help nonetheless!

I never did clean so many months now. I follow the procedure for rooting and i update without any problems.

I'm seeing atleast 20-30% less SOT in this update. Also some apps started crashing unexpectedly, I get a dialog box saying a specific app has crashed. Haven't happened before.
