plus the thread is about an update thats probably 2 weeks old already

I think I got it now....

That update has been out so long and what does the power button menu show you? mine shows off, data mode, flight mode, restart along with the 3 volume options.

Try this too: Remove battery, then put it on again and press BACK button + Volume Up button + Power button. The O1 will enter in EMERGENCY MODE with yellow background and you will can continue with recovery factory ROM.

Maybe not for you, but for maybe someone else is this is a solution: DOUBLE CHECK that you have disabled the LGE Android Platform USB Modem under Modems before you start going through the list in the previous links. If you see "Port = -1" in your KDZ log, check Device Manager for that modem. I failed to read correctly - learn from my mistakes atleast.

Geez, colourful post, looks like a selling ad.
Now, have you tried update via OTA (over the air)?
That image with the android logo is called "download mode", you can enter by pressing power button + home button + vol down at the same time. There you can flash whatever ROM you want.
My advice is, instead of posting this kind of post, read the forum and learn about updates, modes and whatnot.
It'll take you a couple of hours, yes, but that info just cannot harm you.

Strange Notification error

Hi there people of XDA
So I asked about this error over in a device forum here and no one knew really what was wrong and I figured it was just the phone but now I have a new one and it's still doing it :\
Anyway what is happening is this when an app needs an update and the play store shows the notification at the top of the screen it doesn't say the apps name it says something along the lines of amp&_ and a few more random characters instead of the name but when you toggle down the notification bar everything is displayed normally.
This happened on my old Xperia Play running ICS and JB ROMS and now I have an HTC Sensation with a custom jelly bean ROM and it's happening on that swell :\
Just want to know if anyone knows why this is happening
I hope this isn't frowned apon but I managed to get a screen shot as I said this happened on 2 phones so I'm honestly stumpted

as soon as you pull down the notification bar it's displayed normally. it's when it first pops up this happens. this hppens for every app that needs an update when the notification pops up

[Q] Need HELP, Galaxy mega won't turn on

Hey all,
I hope you are doing well.
I switched off my brother's Galaxy Mega Plus (gt-19158p) and it won't turn on again !!
________________________________________________________________
I was about to update its rom, I started trying to flash "twrp-2.8.5.0-f2fs-crater" on it and I got an error message

}
then I went to download recovery app from this site https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxymega58.html, I granted it a SuperUser permission and then installed blackbox, all of that when it was working on
I got the command to restart the phone from the app, but when I press yes nothing happens!! so I SWITCHED IT OFF !
It won't switch on, regardless of removing the battery or putting it in the charger ! no signs of life
ANY HELP pleeeeeeeeese !

Waking up from a deep sleep?

Seen this a few times on my S9 Plus. Seems to happen only when the phone hasn't been used for a while. I'm thinking it's still a bit sleepy form the deep sleep?

Hmm that's a new one to me. I've not seen it before. What carrier/unlocked version do you have
Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
That does not look like a native Samsung message!! It looks like spam from an app you installed
that's the latest Ecobee app, saw it myself yesterday, pull the notification, long hold. it will tell you the app the created it.
i ended up recent, long hold app name, then info on the right, force stop.
hope this helps.
