I was having problems like everyone else with the RSDlite flashing verizon's stock 902 because, like a flash-a-holic sometimes does, got stuck in fastboot mode....

Tried flashing the 902 through RSDlite but kept coming up with system.img flash failure.

Well, seeing as how when you install drivers, devices, etc., it's good to reboot. Well, I figured why not rezip? So I took the unzipped files from VRZ_XT875_5.9.902.XT875.Verizon.en.US_CFC_01.xml.zip

and zipped them again (excluding the folder that led to them, the files themselves) and BOOM! no system.img flash failure, everything went smooth as....well smooth

Thought I'd share this tidbit of info for anyone running into the problems I was having and couldn't find anything of a fix.

Thanks

now that good to know :) i just bookmarked this just in case now where did u get the 902 fxz so i can get it lol cause i need it bad lol

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Decon1:
Hmmmm.....

I thought, specifically when using RSD 5.7, you were supposed to leave the files zipped. That's what the 'Decompress and Flash' is for...to unzip then flash.

If I read this right, you unzipped yourself then tried to flash instead of letting RSD do it all.

Good post though :-)

[Motorola Droid Bionic] embeem:
As I understand it, you can either give it a zip file which it will unzip an flash, or you can unzip it yourself and click on the xml file in the directory.

Being a linux user, I just unzip them, skim through the xml file and then perform the same set of commands manually via fastboot; there's a pretty obvious one:one mapping of the xml "steps" and actual fastboot commands. Doing the fastboot commands manually also means I can skip pointless things like wiping data/cache, although chances are you could do the same in rsd if you edited the xml file.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] morganjr14:
nononono, I was trying to flash the zipped files through RSDlite, but kept coming up on 15/22 failed system flash, and I had downloaded the file from three different sources and every one gave me that fail. I just had the unzipped files for goin through, a little habit of mine. I work on computers and phones and most files you download (well, me anyways) are zipped (mainly rar) and I automatically just unzip about whatever I download. And after searching a bit, everywhere was just saying "oh, well there's just something wrong with the FXZ", and while that may be the case, it wasn't a solution to the problem, just an excuse. And while I also use fastboot (I've probably flashed 30 phones, with 20 different roms, a hundred times), I like to know what I'm doin' and with what programs avaiable, and mainly, to follow the directions that the author of the rom sets out.

But like I've said, I rezipped (using 7-zip) the files and probably flashed 4 times now and not a problem one.

The phone just sits at the HTC screen when you power it up? Is that what you are asking about?
[HTC EVO 3D] Sonic132:
Take the battery out. Replace it. Then while holding down the volume down button. Hold the power button. See if you can at least get into the bootloader.

Otherwise your in some deep sewage.

Hey everyone! When I tried too purchase from best buy the rep told me to get BB insurance because there was no Sprint TEP for this phone. Anyone know otherwise?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sephirothvfc:
Yes you do have TEP, $11 a month with $200 deductable. Don't know why he would say that unless he just wanted his numbers higher. Best buy $10 a month no deductible with 1-5 day turn around.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
I bought my phone from bestbuy but activated through my Sprint account and it gave me the option to add TEP. Which I did of course (if at least for the first few months)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shaun0207:
When did it go to $200? It was just $100. **** for $200, you might as well buy a new phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Rev3ge07:
Wow i heard it was going to be 11 but 200 deductable? Are they still going to do the advanced exchange?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] quick99si:
I was told by Sprint Employee Care that deductible is $150 for this phone because it is less than $550 retail cost.

I just Googled it and it looks to be corect, $150 for both 16GB and 32GB models: http://www.phoneclaim.com/sprint/deductible
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shaun0207:
Confirmed. I just looked it up on Asurion's website.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Rev3ge07:
150 is more but better than 200 I can deal with that if it gets stolen or water damaged
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gottria:
So I just checked my account and noticed that my TEP didn't roll over when I got my GSIII, called Sprint and had it added. Took a swim in the pool today with my new GSIII in my pocket, didn't notice it for about 5 minutes and then pulled the battery and dropped it in some rice, think I'm SOL on this one. So do I just take it to sprint or what, NOt sure how it works as I never had to use insurance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] exitboon:
If your phone is water damaged you can file your claim online. no need to go to the sprint store even, there not going to be able to do anything accept fill out the form thats on this site for you. phoneclaim.com The website is through asurion, sprints warranty and claim handler. If it were me i would just say i lost my sgs3. That way you dont have to send your Liquid Damaged Sgs3 back to sprint. It will cost you the same 150$ You can save the phone for parts or something. Wouldnt hurt to have an extra lcd front housing for the phone in case you ever dropped your new phone. You can pay for your replacement phone online with a credit card and they do overnight shipping is included in the 150$ price I believe. This is only what i would hypothically do and am in no way saying you should do this!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zuluturtle:
doesnt hurt to hit the repair center if you have some time. minor water damage is covered under TEP, and as long as there is no board level corrosion they should replace it at no cost. personally i think that a 45 min to a hour is worth the possibly saving a 150 bucks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gottria:
The battery water indicator turned pink but the one on the phone is still white. Does Sprint even carry the 32g model in store?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chrischoi:
Proof?

I'm pretty sure even sweat and condensation are not covered. As soon as it turns pink, it's a deductible.

Especially when OP states he jumped in the pool. I'm pretty sure that's not minor.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WisdomWolf:
This is only true if you have a nice repair center that works outside the rules. Water and/or physical damage immediately negates the repair portion of TEP and requires you to file a claim. My wife works for Asurion, it's one of the very first questions they ask.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Rev3ge07:
Regardless our deductable is 150 call it in stolen so asurion doesnt have to see ur wet phone

I just gave my HTC Panache aka glacier to my mom. I unlocked the phone using a website and got unlock code. Now when i put her sim, i get a limited service message. I've looked on the net for at least 10 hours for a solution and this is my last resort.

I don't know why, when i put my old videotron sim it work fine, but as soon as i put any other sim, i get a limited service message on the phone.

Does anybody know how to solve this?

Phone is 100% stock
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Compare the contact surface on your videotron SIM and hers. Are they the same?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polish_pat:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Hmm, then I don't know. If the SIM is of the correct type it should work.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polish_pat:
ive seen on the net that this problem is not uncommon. Although i havent found any solution. I had a Galaxy S II and now III and rooting was pretty easy, but how is it on this phone? I wanna try flashing a new radio, maybe that will help me but i saw that rooting a glacier is not for the faint hearted. is there any "easy" way?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEindian:
I dont think there really is an "easy" way, the downgrade method is more time consuming than difficult
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:

do i have to downgrade with this?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Everything. You will need to fool the bootloader into thinking the froyo PD15IMG.zip is newer than the Gingerbread you have installed. Then you flash it. Sounds easy and it can be if you follow the directions perfectly.

Damn, now i'm worried because if i google Virgin Sim Card, all i see it those square one like in the picture i posted, no rectangular one
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MidnightXZ:
The Panache doesn't work on Virgin Mobile because it uses Bell's network which runs on 850/1900 HSPA, while the Panache is only able to connect to AWS bands or 1700/2100 HSPA bands. Bell also does not have a 2G or GSM network so you can't connect to that either. Simply put it, the Panache will not work on Virgin Mobile.

The Panache will only work on Mobilicity, Wind Mobile or Videotron on HSPA, or Rogers and Fido on GSM.

This is speaking under the assumption that you are in Canada since you own a Panache.

Hi all,

I have purchased Galaxy S2 from UK. I flashed it with latest ICS XWLPD build successfully. I followed this link androidauthority.com/galaxy-s2-i9100-android-4-0-3-ics-xwlpd-firmware-88121/.

Problem is power button is not working as it used to be. If I press power button for long, mobile is just turning off.

Bigger problem is screen is not getting locked. When I press power button or when screen time out occurs, it becomes black. But when I press power button again, lock screen is not displayed, direct home screen is displayed.

Any suggestions please?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghost-of-the-Sun:
It happened to me too. You need to do this:

1- root your device, you'll need Root Explorer or another file explorer with root access

2- go to the folder /efs/imei. You'll find a file called mps_code.dat in that folder

3- create a new file and name it keystr

4- open the keystr file and write ON

5- save and reboot.

I solved the issued thanks to my friend mirko_ddd's guide so thank him (try his ROM, it's amazing! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1498017)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Humpie:
Hi

I wanted to connect my e-reader to my xoom to put books on it, but the e-reader uses multiple partitions to mount itself to the host. For instance: when I connect it to the computer it shows up as a drive called reader and a drive called system or something...

Is there any app or script to mount those two drives to the xoom?

I've already tried an app (forgot the name) wich could connect more partitions automaticly but on the e-reader you first have to select mass storage after you connected, so that app fc's all the time...

I could use some help so I don't brick my phone. I have done a search or two on how to root this particular build and it's probably me - I don't think I have found any information to my question. On xda there was info on the superboot method from modaco that it only worked on ICS4.0.1. The GNex toolkit v7 does not have build IMM30d included. I purchased the phone from Google play and received it late last week. Is this build supported by any root method mentioned? Or will anyone link me to a method that supports the build?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
Don't use toolkits. It's not that there is anything inherently bad with them, but having a program do everything for you without understanding how it is doing it means that you don't know how to fix anything if something goes wrong. It's better to do things manually and learn how everything works before taking the easy way through it.

Haha, alright. This is in the Q&A section and I'm sure as hell no developer. I'm coming from a mytouch4g. Had to use adb to downgrade from gingerbread to froyo to root it. Even after reading it over a couple times the directions were still intimidating. It looked like an easy option. Appreciate the input though.

I'll reiterate what others said...

You'll want to know that adb and fastboot are set up correctly, anyway.

They're EXTREMELY useful in countless situations.

Most likely, if you connect you device to Wi-Fi, it will receive an OTA update -- I think IMM76 (blanking on build number).

ok lets try this out,

power off your tab, hold the volume down and power button, continue holding both buttons until the tab load the acer logo. are you coming into recovery?

if so use the volume to go down to advanced, then wipe dalvic cache, then click yes, it will take a second or two. when the wipe is complete try goin back in the options to find reboot system. with any luck it may fix you :D

you should see a screen saying optimizing apps .

hope it helps :highfive:

scratch that^^ read your post abit more in depth and im assuming you must have recovery and have wiped dalvik while doin the above,.

try this method to install the v7 or v8 bootloader its the ics version and unlocked/patched im using v7 right now after i got a bootloop and error saying bootloader unverified.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622425

the area you wanna concentrate on is after step 6 do read the entire thread though and remember to always have your cpuid!!

ALL REPS GO TO CIVATO /BLACKTHUNDER THE A500 DEMI-GODS :D

Note: please read everything twice before performing any dangerous operations on your tab i will not be held responsible

STEP 6 INSTALLING ICS BOOTLOADER

Automated flashing tool

USING blackthund3r ATX flash tool , It makes it all a little easier !

You need help on this ! Here is a walk thru!

-download the APX-FLASH-Tool & Manager

-Download one of the V8 unlocked bootloader apx flash packages combined with a recovery of your choise.

V8-pubA50._public_recovery.a500apx

V8-Thor_1.7.3_recovery.a500apx

V8-TWRP_2.1.3_ICS_recovery.a500apx

- Firts you do the Steps 1-2-3- 4 of the main guide !!

-1-Reboot your tablet and make sure on your tablet: "Settings" -> "Applications" -> "Development" -> "USB debugging" switch on.

-2-Now start the "A500APXFlash.exe" , the tool will start .

-3-When it askes for your SBK you need to type it in , the v0.4 APX flash tool will give your SBK automaticly !!

-4-Now you select "Use an A500 APX Flash Tool Package.(.a500apx)

-5-Select the package that you want,(you click on the right arrow to continue)

-6-Now you can select "Manual Method" or "Automatic Method". (I always pick Automatic)

-7-Click on "Enter APX Mode" (now it will do his thing)

-8-When it says "Done! press to run again" (even if it says on the bottom of the app "no apx mode devices are connected") you click on the right arrow to continue.

-It will ask if you are ready (click yes if you are)

-Let the app do his thing and wait !!!!!! Until it says "Done! Press and hold power to switch off then power back on!"

Optional A500MANAGER

What does it do :

· One-click APX Mode entry

· One-click Recovery Mode entry

· One-click fastboot entry for patched bootloaders

· Instant logcat viewer

· Instant dmesg Viewer

· Function which dumps the dmesg to a text file on the desktop

· Serial number extraction to make SBK calculation exponentially easier

· Links to ICS Root, A500 APX Flash Tool and two download links (Acer and my mirror) for USB Drivers

· Shows what mode the tablet is in at the bottom
[Acer Iconia A500] mark845:
thanks for trying to help m8. the a500 does not turn on so how can i switch on usb debugging?
[Acer Iconia A500] chismay:
erm well mate...u dont, you enter apx mode manually with the reset button and power button.

like i said read the whole thread buddy :silly:
[Acer Iconia A500] mark845:
Gotcha mate. So APX mode is like USB dubugging right?

Time to read.

Ill post back.
[Acer Iconia A500] chismay:
im not the best but from i know and understand =

apx mode is like the base programming/flashing state for making changes to your tabs guts/ loading software/os,.

usb debugging is for locating/extracting/uploading information to a system with already loaded software/os

you would need usb debugging to let the flashtool automatically set the tab into apxmode/ as doin it manually can be a hassle, but since you cannot turn usb debugging on to use that feature of the tool you should be ok to manually power into debugging and continue with the guide :D

tip: i learnt the 1-week till 3am way, you must have the usb plugged to enter apxmode.......or is it the other way around? or is it the charger? lol i cant remember srry

note: yes bruuu read, read, read, these steps are very dangerous to your tab if performed incorrectly. check everything, even look further down the threads to see what problems and solutions others have run into before flashing anything.

let us know how your doin and hopefully we're have it live n kicking again soon :D
[Acer Iconia A500] mark845:
ok im in APX mode. i start the manger and it asks for the SBK.

If i red this right the tool should get the sbk for me?

-3-When it askes for your SBK you need to type it in ,

the v0.4 APX flash tool will give your SBK automaticly !!

but the tool does not give me it?
[Acer Iconia A500] chismay:
-STEP 3=Now go to vache's site to get your SBK

you put your cpuid in and it gives you your sbk

these steps are further down the page (i know its set out weird)

How to get my CPUID ?

On HC Rom or HC bootloader (3.01) or you got a old nandroid backup do this to get your cpuid

-You can find your "cpuid" in one of your "nandroidbackups" that you made with cwm (look on your external SD/clockworkmod/backup=uid.txt ). It's the uid text you are looking for.

-Or when you connect your tablet and type in adb devices in cmd you get your cpuid

-Or usbdeview see more info here , thanks to dibb_nz

ON ICS ROM or ICS booloader (0.3.11 or 0.3.12) do this to get your cpuid:

Or you Install and launch Android terminal app on tablet. Run the following command: dmesg>/mnt/external_sd/dmesg.txt

Open up dmesg.txt (will be stored on your external SD) and look for androidboot.serialno. That is your CPUID.

Or try the following to get your cpuid (thanks to japinder)

-Reboot the Tab & just use the command 'dmesg | grep androidboot.serialno' (without quotes).

It displays the cpuid there & then. No extra lines, no need to save to file & then search. If the Tab hasn't been rebooted in a while, then the line containing 'androidboot.serialno' entry is lost/overwritten, so it won't even be there in the 'dmesg' output. Running the above command after a fresh reboot will always yield the result in an easier way.

so when you got your cpuid go to vache's site put it in and get your sbk, u can use the relative step in the thread to check your sbk is correct if you feel the need.

Enter it into the a500flash tool download a500

flashtool

click arrow

then select a ".a500apx" package u can get one here : skrillax BL's

Im using the v7

click arrow the tool should then do its thang! :D when it says pass/complete/get me a beer just restart your tab and it should be good to go.,

these are the steps i took on my tab when i had a unverified bootloader error and it fixed it all for me,... but i can not be taken responsible .....your tabs not working anyways so eh lol
