I appreciate the admonishment about "taking the time" and I actually considered that I had. Unfortunately, my limited reading here and elsewhere resulted in the same conclusion that you reached, minus the aspirational portion! I guess I was hoping that, indeed, my reviews were truly...

People, I just returned to the Samsung "fold" after a hiatus of several years. It's a Note 10+ 5G, with T-Mobile. While the improvement from my previous LG (AT&T) phone and experience is absolute (T-Mobile has turned out to be a wonderful surprise), what I was really hoping for was, among...

Phone is useless.

That's why I always ordered through on line distributors who tend to sell ww versions of phones. I suppose I was lucky in that I could always just insert my sim and all the essentials worked. Once I had to make a minor change in the APN settings and my local AT&T rep gave them to me! I will...

Well, I can only answer by saying that, since the days of Windows Mobile 1.03, I have owned many phones (my friends would say I have a problem)! Even with jailbreak, I realized early on that iOS was never going to be able to assist in my work, etc, so I have never owned an iPhone. Moreover, I...

The phone is really quite nice. However, contrary to what I normally do, I bought phone through AT&T. They have done certain things which (so far) prevent one from getting into bootloader through any method that I can use. Indeed, their "recovery" is merely a single "nuclear option". Either...

I appreciate it. I sort of wanted to make sure that there wasn't something obvious I was missing. For a phone of this level, I was not expecting that it would be so defective.. I have never seen a phone with no real recovery.. This is a first! I wish I could wait for it to be fixed but when I...

Was worth a shot! No. 1 I had actually tried before. No. 2, like 1, just boots back into the system.

Ok. I used ADB in many ways.. I didn't try exactly what you just said.. Going to now.

I cannot..i cannot get to a place where Fastboot can be used. Only a recovery with no commands. Please tell me how you did it. Thanks!

Without being able to get into bootloader, how do you add TWRP?

LG V40 Recovery/Bootloader Has anyone else had the following experience with the LG V40: I obtained mine about a three weeks ago. It does have the latest Android already loaded. It's from AT&T. While i am no expert, I always root and am usually pretty successful at it and rooting does...

Without the right Twrp, many benefits to rooting are missing such as removing stock rom applications. Seems without being able to boot to a recovery, even Titanium cannot remove apps because it needs to clean the dalvic.. Can't do it without a recovery Sent from my ASUS_Z016D using...

You are right about homesync. It is a remarkably useless item. Neither a real server, nor does it even have the ability to run one's basic tablet apps, such as hbo-go, etc, which would make it useful as a permanent media center with all one's movie subscriptions, etc! However, yesterday...
