HOW I GOT MY [4G]ROOVE BACK:laugh:
0.) Make sure to have the back already removed from the phone, and read steps BEFORE starting the process of going through the next 15 steps [note: you will still be roaming, but fixed my data].
1.) Factory Reset via the Backup & Restore section of System Settings.
2.) Phone should Reboot on its own; manually Reboot if not.
3.) Dial *2767*3855# which will factory wipe the device [this includes ALL SD Card Data].
4.) When the phone begins to Reboot itself, watch for the blue LED indicator light to turn off.
5.) After the blue LED turns off, but before the phone begins to start up again, pull the battery out of the phone [ignore the warning that shows on the screen while wiping the device].
6.) Place battery back into phone, and hold Volume DOWN + Power + Home buttons until the phone boots into Download mode for use with ODIN [I used version 3.07].
7.) Using Odin, install root66's rooted stock via the PDA selection option [if this fails, try again - I personally had to do this 3 times].
8.) The phone will Reboot as soon as the ODIN flash completes, and it is likely that you will get stuck at the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE boot animation. When this happens, pull out the battery again.
9.) Once more, place battery back into phone, but now hold Volume UP + Power + Home buttons until the phone boots into the stock recovery [this looks much like CWM with some different options].
10.) Choose the option to Wipe Data, and then run the Wipe Cache Partition option second.
11.) Select the first option to Reboot System Now, and wait for the phone to boot [this WILL take some time, so please wait for the full process to be completed; if you see the boot animation screen dim the display or vibrates slightly after a bit of waiting, you are on the right path].
12.) Allow the phone to finish starting into the language selection screen, hit next now, and again when the Phone Activated screen shows.
13.) Now, press the home button to get to the stock launcher desktop, where you should see the roaming notification in the Status Bar.
14.) Open the Status Bar, and press the roaming notification. When asked to accept roaming, choose the option to always access [this should not cause you to incur charges for roam, if in the US].
15.) Wait a few minutes, and if everything worked for you as it did with me, data should be fixed.

Correct me if I'm wrong but your still showing "roaming" data correct?
Did you lose your IMEI or just odd data connectivity?

I am still roaming technically, but every time I lose 3G/4G, I do this and it comes back. The IMEI shows as 0 in settings, but Phone Info app shows it as it should. Very strange. I don't know about everyone else on here, but I went to 4 different stores, and they all told me I would need to go through the insurance and pay $100 to get a replacement for my 18 day old phone. I just posted this for anyone who want the functionality to work, and is still trying to hold out for an actual IMEI fix, since I figure a lot of non-developers out there such as myself know enough about their devices to be able to follow what I had done.

As the title says, when I tap wifi button to open it takes 20-30 seconds to open. I didn't had this issue before (in the same ROM/unofficial cyanogen 10.1-20130808). Also I have another issue, also came up now. My phone can't save* wifi passwords. Is there a limit to passwords or something?
*I use wifi key recovery and i see the password saved (sometimes multiple times if I have saved it more than once)
please help I really like this rom
Hello everyone, Hope all is well with you all. I bought the Boost Mobile Lg Tribute 2 [LG LS665] [android v5.1.1] about 3 days ago now and as with any new android based device I get, gaining root and installing a custom recovery becomes my first priority. Well gaining root was no problem at all for me using the KingRoot app but the problem occurred when uninstalling some system apps\ bloatware. I uninstall the same system apps every time I get a device with no problems whatsoever. On my new Lg Tribute 2 I didn't uninstall anything I haven't before except this time when I restarted my phone I was(and am everytime I restart now) greeted with the usual phone initial setup accept it starts at the accessibility screen. Now keep in mind that my phone is already setup and has apps installed. When I continue the setup it goes through as normal and all my apps and wallpaper are still there accept my status bar won't pull down and my home and menu buttons don't work anymore. When I restart as stated previously I'm confronted with the initial accessibility setup - choose language - choose wifi etc ..... What i have found today is that instead of going through the initial setup at each restart I can instead access the settings through the lock screen and when i choose Settings \Home screen\Select Home\ and pick 'Home' it simply bypasses the setup and loads the home screen which is great accept when I go that route my Home and Menu soft keys are still disabled (not highlighted and unresponsive) plus my status bar still wont pull down unless the phone is locked. What did I uninstall to do this. I can't remember what apps i uninstalled off the top of my head and can't find a list of preinstalled system apps on line to compare with. I know this is long so I apologize but I am stumped. Google search comes up empty as the Tribute 2 is fairly new as is 5.1.1 so any help would be appreciated very much. Also I for the life of me cannot find anything for the lg tribute 2 that could help me such as a working custom recovery, a stock image or any custom roms. Thank you for taking the time to read this very very very much.
Summary of problems:
1. Confronted with initial phone setup at each restart even though phone is setup.
2. My status bar won't pull down unless phone is on lock screen. (luckily because this gives me access to the phone settings and homescreen).
3. My soft home and menu buttons don't work at all ( only back button still works).
4. Cannot find stock image on line to reflash.

It sounds like you just need to complete the setup screen, is it connected to a Google account? I had a similar problem when I needed my Google password to complete setup. It's called Google FRP factory reset protection
I was having some problems with adaptative battery turning on by itself so i talk with the support and they give me a trick that actually fixed the problem. They said that it can fix also another problems so i will explain here, in the worst case is just a waste of time.
Turn the phone off and connect to the charger.
Enter recovery:
-Hold power + Vol Up until the phone turn on and then release power but not volume.
-You will see and ****ed up android. Hold power and press vol up for 3 seconds and release volume up.
With this you will be in the recovery. With the vol keys go to "Perform a Graphic Test" and press power to execute. It is kinda weird but it doesn't perform a graphic test, it just reinstall a update or something
So if you are experiencing some weird behavior you can try this and see if it solve it.
I've done it, but the Wifi issue comes back aber 1-2 days
or immediatelly if you perform some FlyMode ENABLE/DISABLE
I made a video of the mobile after the refrresh and after the issue comes back
Paired with 2 other smartphones
You can notice when the issue is "active" the mobile just see 1-3 WiFis SSID (normally they're 10 or more)
And it even reports a wrong signal strenght
Plus it fails to connect to the Paired Wifi several times (eventaully always)
Resetting the Android networking system doen not work
Usually a soft clean helps (reboot with VolUP + power and wait for AndroidONE screen to appear twice (I guess they're actually 2 consecuve reboots)
Lol Support sold you a lemon. The "graphics test" is literally just playing the animations the recovery should when installing an update. It's not doing a damn thing. I think the reboot just helped you out.
I had the wifi issue and it worked for me. Now wifi connects after enable / disable flymode without rebooting the device.
thanks

They didn't sold my a lemon because i did it and it actually solve the problem. Before i tried everything, including reset, hard reset, deleting all the battery system app cache and data, disabling them, enabling them again, nothing worked and adaptative battery kept turning itself on. I had the problem for months. I asked the guy how permorming a graphic test is related to some bug in adaptative battery and he said he doesn't know and Ingenineer team said that to him, it seems that it is not only a graphic test, maybe Nokia touch something there. The thing is it solved my problem, that is why i shared it here just in case.

I think you should wait just 1-2 days before saying it. I hope it really worked cause I have the same wifi issue.

This morning, after the night in flightmode, wifi doesn't connect without a reboot. But now, just the same as yesterday, i can switch flightmode on / off and wifi connects normally. So maybe it depends on the time the flightmode is enabled?

I dont know mate..I usually switch to airplane mode during the night when I go to sleep cause I dont want to loose battery during the night..we can try not to activate it but I hope we will have a fix in January.
I experienced this problem after installing the January Security Patch on my Nokia 7 Plus. My router is a Huawei and my network SSID is hidden. I tried a few things:
* Reset network settings
* Restarted in Safe Mode - added network and could connect (note, it's a hidden network so I selected that option in Advanced Settings)
* Rebooted into normal operation, would not connect
* Modified my router's settings so the network was no longer hiding its SSID.........phone connected!! Seems stable so far.
Can anyone confirm any similarities with the above and if the steps work for you?
I have two Nokia 7+ phones, one works fine on Wifi the other refused to connect.
I did the graphics test as above and it now connects without any issues.
I will wait and see how long this 'fix' lasts for.
Fingers crossed.
I tried to enter that special mode (recovery) but it just boots into the system! I have had many phones and got into their recoveries quite easily. However seems like I misunderstood the instructions here? Can someone explain me more in detail how to perform the graphic test?

adb reboot recovery
Or
When poweron/reboot hold PowerBtn+VolUp until you see "no command" with green Android logo
In both method is switch from "no command" to menu by pressing PowerBtn+VolUp

Eventually I did the "graphic test" which indeed performs just the animation as another user was saying, because WiFi issue has not improved.
What I was doing wrong when trying to access the recovery was simply not connecting the phone to a power source prior to pressing vol up and power.
Just picked a 7 plus a week back & loving the phone so far. Given it had 8.1 out of the box I went through the day 1 upgrades and had a few of these problems. Being a new phone, a factory reset post upgrade was no big deal (I keep everything backed up so it's rarely a big deal) and my wifi problems went away with it. I've found this with Android upgrades in the past. Hard for the Devs to treat every upgrade permutation given apps and time, but easy to test the clean slate, so more likely to be stable that way.

I got a the phone recently and it's got this weird problem that I couldn't find mentioned anywhere.
Sometimes Bluetooth just randomly won't turn on, I tap the Quick Settings icon and it does nothing, if I go to settings it appears to turn on but if I pull down the Quick Settings or go back and into Bluetooth again it shows that it's off.
All of this goes away after a reboot, Bluetooth turns on and the phone connects to devices without issues, it also doesn't drop the connection but if I leave it off for a while, when I try to turn it back on again it sometimes just won't turn on again until I reboot.
Do any of your devices have a similar issue?

Try clearing the system cache.
Try resetting network connections.
Turn off all power management.
If you've done a major firmware update it's factory reset time...
No power saving mode is enabled and the A52 just launched with Android 11 and One UI 3.1, there's no major update to do.
I just wiped cache, while I was in the recovery I repaired apps just in case and I reset network settings for both SIMs, we'll see if that works, thanks!
UPDATE:Yes, it appears this fixed the issue. I have been able to enable Bluetooth without issues since I cleared cache even after days of it being off.
