Root [Sprint] LG G2 Stuck in fastboot mode. PLEASE HELP!

yep 2014 is when this pre-paid phone came out. i would look to get a new phone.

if you really want to revive this ancient relic, then can you please post the output of your fastboot command? and you say that fastboot sees the phone, so just to be sure when you type "fasboot devices", you get a bunch of numbers, correct?

also post all of the outputs from the fastboot commands that you have tried.

Help Using a second Contact App to hide contacts from WhatsApp?

Hi, everyone! Sorry to revive such an old thread, but I think it is the best place to ask my question.

I am using a Samsung Note 20 Ultra 5G, with WhatsApp set up only on this device (no web whatsapp or a secondary device).

I have some contacts saved in my GMail account and some contacts saved on my SIM card.

The problem is that if I set the Contacts App (the phone's native one) to show the contacts from only one source (either GMail or SIM), WhatsApp shows the contacts from both sources.
If I phisicaly remove the SIM from the device (so the Contacts app does not even have access to the contacts stored there), WhatsApp still shows those contacts...

How can I set up WhatsApp to show the contacts from the source that I selected in the phone's Contacts app?

DVD theory..

I believe most car 8-track players were intended to be mounted under the dash, either on a carriage or fixed bracket. With relatively few standard DIN sized units intended for the DIN radio slot in the dash.

Of course most of them are around 50 years old now, and so may need servicing to make them play as they should, like replacing duff electrolytic capacitors, perished rubber belts, cracked and fractured plastic parts, etc.

public libraries

We had our local one, since 1997.. I do not visit there that often, only for voting and also for a rental in the book, last one was Batman: Nightwalkers..
I do not have a card,nor I wish to use up gasoline to travel there and back for a book.. Rather do google books..

Phone Snobbery?

"Well, my iPhone JUST WORKS". (Didn't Apple copyright that phrase?)

Of course it does: with other Apple stuff. I would expect an Apple phone to work with an Apple tablet/laptop, watch, earbuds, TV and speaker. However, my Android phone JUST WORKS with my Windows laptop and desktop; Sony earbuds and TV; Samsung watch; in other words, it JUST WORKS with pretty much anything out there, no matter who makes it, so I'm not locked inside the Walled Garden. They're locked in a technological prison while claiming to be in an exclusive, gated community.

Bricked - Out of idea's.

My guess is being an LG phone it did the whole bootlooping thing, OP installed or tried to sideload the wrong variant firmware and ended up in one dilly of a pickle.

LG bootloops are the result of NAND failure, and have been an issue since the G4 (and this is what EOL'd LG in the phone space) and I highly doubt that simply re-flashing the original firmware would fix what is basically a hardware failure.

Resisting developer mode

Am I the only one who thinks it's quite scary that there's such a thing as a 'government phone'? I wouldn't trust our government for anything, especially now. I never forgave them for killing analog TV (digital TV is garbage) or analog cellular service (there's still a lot of rural areas that are now without cellular coverage, and while 2G/3G helped a bit, they played their hand in killing that as well.)

Anything involving our government is a huge red flag. I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't spyware or some sort of monitoring built-in similar to how North Korea's "linux" distro Red Star OS tracks everything a user does.

The idea of a 'federal mandate' is crazy. It shouldn't even be legal. The whole point of how a bill becomes a law (see schoolhouse rock episode 'I'm just a Bill') was completely invalidated by our own government becoming an elected King and able to pass their own laws in the dead of the night without any votes from the People who are what the government are supposed to represent the views by and for.

WI-FI Calling feature not showing on my Samsung S20+

Hi
Thanks for all the replies.
Turns out it is the sim card from my provider that is the issue.

When we tried 2 different sim cards from another provider and they both worked and WIFI Calling option was there in the settings menu.

Put my providers sim card back in and the WIFI Calling option goes away.

Off the see my provider today.
Thanks
Richard

How can I flash a JPAY J5 prison tablet?

Another thing about these tablets, is that if you do factory reset them, they do not come up with the same routine to log into a google account. They give you a blank launcher with nothing else. If you do by chance bypass the login screen by jumping that circuit, you can turn down the volume all the way and get prompted to set up "do not disturb". In the name of the scheduled item, I typed in a few special (non-alphanumeric, so the spell checker won't run on it) Then I did a select all, copy and then paste to the end of the string repeatedly to double the string each time. Eventually, the UI will get overloaded and keep restarting. At that point, do a hard reboot and the full recovery menu will come up where you can do a factory reset. But, then again, you'll have a useless tablet. However, if you can sideload apps through the fastboot mode, maybe you can actually load a full set of working apps that you can use.
Hello,

I picked up a jpay jp5 tablet from ebay. It is password locked and I would like to factory reset it, or if not, I'd like to flash another android to it.

I hqve tried the recovery options, but the only thing there is reboot tablet.

What can I do? Please don't reply with phone numbers or emails trying to charge for "software"
