LG G4 Major Problemo - Sprint LG G4

So a couple days ago I rooted my G4. Worked fine and then woke up and it could not get on Google Play, nor YouTube. I managed to sign out of YT and it worked but no account, and Google play wouldnt let me sign out. So my dumbass restores it and it still doesn't work, only this time I cant even sign into Google, therefore no apps, YT, or anything. And I'm on a Sprint G4 so no KDZ yet. Please help. I am suffering without a phone. Thanks all.

Ok. Whaaaat? Rooted NC stopped working? (will re-rooting help?)

Picked up my NC 1.0.1 today. Rooted without issue. After having a Google Talk conversation, I lost access to Marketplace, and all Google Apps? Can't log back in?
Anyone else having similar issues?
P.S. My wallpaper was changed as well ?!?!?!?!?!
p.p.s. My browsing history and favorites are gone too? Please tell me an update or something was just pushed out. I feel like I just wasted a few hours of my life here.
My rooted 1.0.1 nook has problems as well. Gets authorization error and resets data. After restoring through the clockwork recovery, had it up just for 5 minutes before it automatically reset again. Lost all my apps, market access, youtube, etc. Don't know if this issue has been discussed before. May just have to go back to stock.
It appears that something is amiss. I cannot sign back into any Google Services.
Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server
This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues call Customer Care.

Would a simple re-rooting solve the issue?
Same here. Was using everything fine Saturday. Turned on the device and in a few minutes I got an error, something about a problem with the registration and it said it was rebooting. It did and wiped everything of my rooted install except the market. Can't login to google account now.

I might add that I got my device it was at 1.0.0 and I rooted then reflashed to stock to upgrade to 1.0.1 and rerooted. Then I noticed after today's unexpected reboot/data wipe (the status screen during the reboot says it was wiping data) it again gave a message that it had just upgraded to 1.0.1 so I initially thought this was an issue with the device thinking the firmware upgrade was not quite done...
Mine quit working as well. Mine is a 1.0.0 that was auto-nootered. Everything was fine and I used it daily. Now it is a brick, nothing I do seems to make it boot. Every once in a while I can get the backlight to come on but nothing else and it just goes off again in a few seconds.
Rather than troubleshoot, I busted an 8 times reboot to go back to stock then re-rooted. Seemed like less headache, panic and stress.
If your NC dosen't boot at all. Try doing a dd of snowfox's boot.img in dev section. See thread for more info. You'll need to boot into NF from SD.

I have tried rerooting, and restoring through clockwork...it seems to always revert and bootloop. Although the reroot lasted a week and clockwork restore hasn't lasted 24hrs twice now.
Not sure what to do but My wife is ready to kill me! I'll have to go stock till someone finds a way to bust up this authorization or just wait I read some ROMs are being developed.
Have any of you disabled the otacerts.zip?
If you haven't it may be the problem.
I have and same on my wife's and neither of us have had any issue, and we use them daily.
I hadn't realized I should be doing this. I will try it. I am actually thinking that my first store purchase came w/ an update (my issue seemed to start right after a magazine trial purchase was made).
Thanks.

Thank you, I will try that. All the searching I did was for disable OTA NC and such but actually searching for OTACerts brought out many many threads that were archived on this subject... I can't wait to get home to try it!
I did not rename the ota file.... will give it a go.

[Q] A Couple Questions

Hi everybody, I'm new to LG, this is my first LG phone since my original LG Vu many many years ago, and i have a couple questions. I've searched everywhere here on XDA and a couple other forum sites, as well as general google searches. First off my Flex is on 4.2.2 and it doesn't seem I have any way to update to 4.4.2. Whenever I try the update from my phone it says "your phone is not registered" and when I try with the LG computer software it just says my device is up to date. I've seen the not registered error mentioned a few times before and I tried the suggestions given, like getting a new sim card and doing a factory reset, but no luck. I've seen a few people mention that they flashed the update manually with something called LG Flash Tool, but I cant find any info on that whatsoever. My model is the AT&T D950 by the way. Secondly I am having absolutly horrible lag with this phone, specifically list scrolling, mostly in apps such as Google+, YouTube, and Facebook, all the reviews i read before getting the Flex said it was super smooth, thays why I got it, so is there something I should so, or is lag like this normal? Because I can't scroll through YouTube or Google+ without it hanging every couple seconds. If anybody that has more experience then me with this phone or LG in general could help me out with these or just point me in the right direction, that would be greatly appreciatex.

If you are on AT&T, take the phone to the store and have them update it for you. If you are on another carrier you will have to manually flash the update. As for the lag, I have also just got the Flex and I have not had any lag, but I have always done a Factory data reset before I do anything else.

Yeah I'm on AT&T. Thanks for the tips, I really appreciate it. Unfortunately nothing seems to work. I've tried downloading the LG PC software from their website but it just tells me I'm up to date, I can't find any info on how to use the LG flash tool thing, and I just went into 3 different AT&T stores, one of which was a device support center, and they all said they have not way to flash the LG G Flex because LG stopped supporting the tool they had to flash it with so it no longer works. So it looks like I'm stuck on 4.2.2. It's a shame really because I really got this phone to test out LG before the G3 comes out to see how I would like it since I'm up for an upgrade, and I absolutely LOVE it, but I'm not dropping money + a contract on a phone that might have issue upgrading the software, I mean we already wait long enough for android updates on non-nexus phones, but then even when it's available you can't update it because there is some sort of issue between AT&T and LG servers. And the worst part is it's not just me or this model phone. I have seen tons of people having the same issue with G2's and G Pro 2's but nobody seems to be able to figure it out. It really suck. But thanks for all the tips and help, like I said I really appreciate it!
Just want to give an update for anyone else that has this issue and might come across this thread. After going to 2 more stores, getting 2 more new SIMs, and 2 more factory updates, then spending about an hour on the phone with tech support with them trying to "push" the update to me, then another 2 hours on chat support with them trying to "push" it to me, I am no closer to any kind of solution.
Just another update, AT&T filed a case and I can now check for software update through settings, and it tells me an update to 4.4.2 is available, but once it downloads the update fails, it tell me my device is suspected of rooting and software update is not available for my device. My device is not, and has never been rooted. So I don't know where to go from here. This is the most frustrating thing I have ever encountered in my 4+ years with android lol. My next phone will definitely not be an LG phone, which is a shame because I just got this one to test out LG while waiting for the G3 to make it to AT&T.
did you buy this new?
isnt there a warranty from ATT?

Can you post a screenshot of the message you're getting that says your device is suspected of rooting?
Yes I bought it new from an AT&T COR store. Yeah it has warranty, I actually just went to the support center and exchanged it after explaing that it has never been rooted or else I would post a screenshot, I didnt even think about doing that, I remeber the error exactly though, I must have tried it a dozen times. When I went to software update it said a new update is available and I clicked yes to download, after it downloaded it rebooted into that LG screen with the cartoony hills and stuff and it said updating 0% for about 2 mins, the in big letters it said ERR:0x0011341, and it rebooted back into the ROM and everthing loaded up, after about a minuter I got a popup that said Error: Your device is suspect in rooting, your device is not available for software update, then any time I tried to run software update that popup would come back up unless I did a factory reset, then it would start the whole thing over with the same results. Like I said, I just got a replacement and am downloading the update now, I'll post back and let you know what happens.
Its not that unusual for a phone to get hosed when trying to download/install an OTA update.
Is is unusual for a message like you saw, about being a "suspect" for rooting; I don't think I have ever heard of that before..
All that matters is you got a new phone, so thats a good thing
Yeah i thought it was weird too, the weirdest pat was i did the return to stock from the other thread here just to see if that would fix the issue and it still said the same thing, it even did it after factory resets, like something had been tripped and couldnt be reset. Im no stranger to rooting, I've been doing it for years, i just never did it with phone cuz there isn't a whole lot you can do with it. But the new one just updated to 4.4.2 no problem so the issue is fixed. It was all just really strange, i found a thread here from another person getting the same error on a G2 http://forums.androidcentral.com/lg...tware-update-not-available-rooted-device.html

I'm having this same issue, but I did root my device. I completely unrooted it, and tried again with no luck. I thought it was me. Looking forward to hearing if you have success with the replacement. If so, I'm definitely taking this guy in. ?

[Q] Problem with Moto Voice

Hello guys, I've acquired my New Moto X last monday and I've been using since then. It a fantastic phone and everything else but I have a problem with the moto voice. I use it like, 5 times a day, works perfect, but after a time, and I have a theory that it's conflicting with other apps installed in the phone, it became too slow. Like, i say my activation phrase, it beeps but nothing shows up, only 10 seconds later a very slow and laggy version of the interface. It also happens when I open it directly from the Moto app. After this, I've done a factory reset on the phone, and the Moto Voice came back to life... BUT, after 3 days it started again... Then I done it again... And guess what in 24 hours the same error. The worst part is that I dont' know if they are going to solve this error, I have already reported it but I don't know... And if I send it back to the store to get a new one I'll probably saty almost a month without a phone... Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions
Did you try clearing cache?
Also, are you on the latest version 6.1.10.1?
Yes to both!
I found the OK google feature responds faster and better. Just as long as you don't want to command other apps.
I'm having the exact same issue. It's very slow. Same issues after factory reset. Also - when it does work, works with Google Now, but none of the MOTOX apps like 'find my phone' etc.
any resolution?
Same thing here
I have had the same issue. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times with no luck. The few times I've managed to get through the entire voice set up it ends up un-checking my launch phrase with in a few uses and moto voice stops working. I keep providing feedback when the voice app fails and hopefully they will figureboit why this is happening. Happy to hear its most likely not my device and an issue with the app.
I have the same problem and i may have located the problem. Try turning off bluetooth completely and see if the problem still exists?

LG G Watch R connection problem

Hi, I've searched through the forum to see if there was any threads on this issue, but...
I have no idea how long this has been going on for as I don't talk to the watch much lol!
I was under the car the other day, and wanted my missus to come out, so I remembered I could text her with the watch.
I said ok Google, it was then listening to me, I said text other half, it froze and then after 5 or 6 second it says disconnected, I flick that away, and it's still connected, still getting emails, alerts etc, just hangs when you ask it to do something! I've tested this alot since and it just doesn't work anymore!?
It's paired to my s6 edge plus, as far as I'm aware it worked on my old note 3...
Does anyone know how to fix this? When I got my new phone, I reset the watch so it was new.
Help!
Thanks
Dave
Fixed... I cleared the cache for the Google play services etc and then re-added the watch new. All sorted now.

Installing new ROM - some help/advices

I've never done this before (did it a few times with old omnia i900 and WP6.5, never android) so I need as much help and advice you can give me
I know I need Odin, Kies, a rom and a kernel(??) and drivers. Found all the links from the video /watch?v=bd1zwH2-kX0
If there's a video on youtube showing everything that has good quality you can just redirect me there.
Anyways, my mom uses this phone so I need it to have as much battery life and ease of access possible so which ROMs do you recommend?
I also need to know what I need to have to flash the phone (USB cable and something else software wise, maybe) and what are the risks of flashing it. The reason I'm flashing it is because it feels slow for some reason and it keeps vibrating all the time. Does it need an sdcard because I don't have one.
Sorry if I violated some rules posting this. Thanks.
strange to see you struggle with the same phone as i am the same day on an old phone like this, im trying to get google play to work on it, but it seems the custom backup installed rom is just messed up, google play just give blank screens or some weird errors, the internet and other things work, but https also messed up on some pages, and the date is set correctly =/ which is what usually is wrong on my pc when https is messed up
so im also looking for advice on a custom rom, the lighter its on resources the better, is it also possible to use ROEHSOFT_RAM_Expander on this phone? is the kernel limit of swap ram a software thing or a hardware think?

Yes. I also have same problems, white screen for play store or errors saying it crashed or no connection. I think a different ROM would solve all these problems. You can try Cyanogenmod.

I haven't tried anything today. My mom just got the phone today so I don't really want to brick/mess something up.
I tried only installing few apps like Facebook, Opera, Chrome, FB Messenger and Viber. Some worked right away, for some I had to download different apks because play store doesn't work. I haven't even tried rooting it. It could be rooted using kingoroot, I might try it.
I noticed that play store works only when you want to update an app. It didn't crash when it redirected me to YT app and FB app update.

i installed kitkat4.4 from this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtYI91-S8Tk
google play worked until it updated then the blanck screen stuff started to happen all over again, but at least the kitkat version does not eat up all the internal storage like the rom i had from stock, so it only uses 20% vs 80% 90% so for that reason ill keep it until i see a better alternative on the forum, may play with it again but out of time.

Did you do everything like from the video or did you do something that is usual thing to do before flashing that a noob like me would miss?
Have you tried flashing it again but this time without updating the app?
Also did you use sdcard for this or via usb on PC?
this is the way to go for me, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2698533 this one works wonderfully
it has chrome and flash working, it also works as smooth as silk vs the stock or the kitkat 4.4 roms, so don't waste your time and trying to get the other ones working.
let me know how it goes.
Edit: replaced old post to avoid more headaches old post in quotes
1- ! meesed up the phone the first time then i fixed it with oddin and the files here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2560314
2-then installed using the youtube video as a guide, i didn't do as the description said but rather did exactly what i saw in the video, the guy dees a bad jobin the description, he mentions step (5 - Select the vM00CWMv3f) but in the video he never touches it, so dont search for it or download it just ignore that step or do exacly as the video, use J K L to play pause advance or back the video and make sure you mirror him xD
if you do the odding thing your phone will be like the default mode, unrooted and so but no need to root it to install the rom of the video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtYI91-S8Tk
PD : google play is still a messy mess with its blank screen with the kitkat version of the video , i uninstall/downgrade google_play_services and the google_play_store, then i open google play and accept the termns and install my intended app with the old google store, then google updates an installs its bugged app all over again without me wanting, then i go uninstall or downgrade the two apps all over again and install my next app with the old google play, its morroning all afternoon already ^_^
wasn't technology supposed to make life easier?
so where did you get stuck? no one of the experts will recommend a rom? T_T
PD2: did not use an external sdcard, only the internal, and i used the usb cable with the oddin program, then after the odding ting, i did use the cable to upload files to the root, then i did what the video shows without cables or rooting
ive send a pm with my whatsapp and skype hit me there if you still strugle, im online 4 t o5 more hours

Why is the notification bar no the bottom on the CM7 one you sent?
Thanks for helping me out. I might try today flashing it but still without sdcard.
BTW if you try flashing it again you might try recording it with an HD camera to see the full process on how to do it. I could also edit it and add annotations and you could post it to youtube if you want. If you do that please make sure it's bright enough in the room

im still playing wit hthe phone, i reflashed to stock several times already, the one that work smooth as silk is still the best and no need for external sd card to use that one, but im trying to get the one that i meesed my phone up with to work, i got a external sd to test it but im still cant get the cm11 to install when on external sd card
Edit = PD:
the best 2 i found for 5300 and tested them bouth, no external card needed for these 2

if you don't have stock rom or if the installation goes bad, or the installed rom does not work properly, then Restore Stock ROM/Unbrick, and then try again, i found that doing this step before trying a new rom is the best, else wifi or other tings fail. here is the Restore Stock ROM/Unbrick thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560314
just show your mom this forum thread before you try anything with her device, remember i was ok with hammering my device, so i didn't care if i killed it, but it works very nice with any of those rom, the guys that worked on those know their stuff!!, and is probably worth the effort flashing the device, also leave your sim chip in when doing the rom flashing, it seems the provider sends the configuration automatically to the device when it starts the new installed rom, if not then be prepared to search the internet for the apn settings of your cellphone company or to call them and ask.
I know the APN settings for my provider. My mom doesn't speak english so it would look like chinese for her.
Thanks for all the links. She doesn't seem to have too much problems right now. Did installing these ROMs make your vibrating to stop?

this phones vibration is dead, and it didn't get it working with any of the roms I've tried, so wont be able to answer you on that, this phones google play didn't work, not even with the stock rom, so that is why i started to flash it with the downloadable roms on this forum. Hyperion and the KitKat Smart R2 roms are really nice roms, i would say for a woman/girl use the 'KitKat Smart R2' rom and for a man/boy use the hyperion, the hyperion have a more drone electronic type theme, the phone will say with a robotic voice "ill be back" when you shut it down ^_^
lol @ hyperion.
It should say "get to the choppa"
Thanks for every advice if my mom decides the software is unbearable on the phone I will flash it.
Does play store work on hyperion/kitkat smart s2?
