Step 3

make sure you have installed your lg phone drivers before continuing to the next step

Step 4

unzip LG_KDZ_FW-Update_OfflineFix.zip

you will find a filename Automatic Offline Procedure.vbs

run it

if everything runs ok it will take you to the upgrade tool if not it will probably show you a windows script host error

if that happens try running it manualy from folder

LG_KDZ_FW-Update_OfflineFix

KDZ_FW_UPD_EN

KDZ_FW_UPD.exe

when KDZ_FW_UPD.exe shows up select Type: 3qct and PhoneMode: Emergency

select your downloaded kdz file , now you should take off you battery , connect the usb cable , press volume up and after 10 sec release the buttons and put the battery

Press Launch software update

It will take some time to decompress the files but if everything is ok it will start.

You will see the progress with various messages the last message ends with 0

That should do the job.. Dont forget to press Thanx button if it works.

Good Luck

Thread basically says it all. I've got a G2x, rooted running Paranoid overclocked. Have been very happy with it for about a year. I've been in the market for a new phone and I was really surprised at the prices I found for this phone compared to similar ones (GSII, GNex, etc). I'd probably spend about $150 cash + $200 I get for my G2x. Is it worth the investment?

[HTC Desire S] Polite_Assassin:
I rooted my HTC Desire S after downgrading it's HBOOT from 2.00 to 1.47 something. I was not satisfied by using customised ROMs with lots of bugs so I flashed stock ROM HTC Saga Asia India and then updated it by mistake or you can say foolishly. Now my phone is not booting and it is stopped on logo screen. I tried to use recovery but it just wiped data and and reboots when I select Install Zip from sd card.

Any fix for this? I have to go to HTC care center or it can be sorted out at home? Thanks in advance.:)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alysiper:
Hello all,

I've facing this problem. "Damaged SDcard- You may have to reformat!". I don't know how the sd-card got damaged.

How can i re-use the SD-card (external sdcard) because i tried so far:

- Windows format - FAT32, NTFS (with no succes)

- Phone format from recovery and normal format.

- format from card reader - when tries to format it, unmounts the card automatically.

- i've tried many programs, search many forums, but not solution.

The card was received with the phone: 32 GB microsdhc (class 4) Team.

When i enter recovery i can se the folders from the ex-sd-card (i can see from windows/linux too), but i can delete/read/copy them.

Anyone have idee what to do next?

Most of the One X proponents tout a polycarbonate body as one of the plus-es of the HTC One X. Am I wrong in thinking that the Galaxy S3 also has a polycarbonate body (just that it has a shiny finish) ?
[General Questions and Answers] snkcube:
The S3 has a polycarbonate body.
[General Questions and Answers] vnvman:
Yep. Not that it means anything tho...my Lumia has a polycarbonate body but obviously it still gets scuffed and scratched like any plastic phone...ok, maybe a little less but it's negligible, the plastic of my GS2 held up the same way. The main advantage of polycarbonate is that if you happen to scratch the surface the layer underneath still has the same colour, so it doesn't bother you much. At the end of the day the polycarbonate thing is mere marketing bs IMHO.

[Focus General] kcnanand:
My samsung focus v1.3 registers automatic key presses of the windows key and voice command opens automatically. It happens quite random and even when the phone is not touched and is quite annoying as the phone jumps to start page. It is a brand new phone and since it is imported.. there is no scope of returns or service center. I have tried resets, and install different roms. currently running Tango rom from voluptuary. Any idea, help please.
[Focus General] OrangeTang:
I am on the same rom and sometimes it happens to me too. I usually just end up locking the phone and the unlocking it and it stops. Im not sure how else to handle it, im pretty sure its a software thing. You could turn off the option to have voice commands through the windows key and it may not be as annoying. Other than that id say try a different rom out.
[Focus General] kcnanand:
Thanks for the reply :). I have tried various roms, currently on Novinsab Nokia edition and the problem seems to have reduced, but still happens infrequently. U said that voice command can be deactivated? Any suggestions as to how to do it?

[Asus Transformer TF700] silenced3:
hi,

i bought my tf700 at a bestbuy in portland. i still have this whole month for returning the tablet and i am looking for potentially deal breaking defects... one thing i am worried about is that if i unlock it, i cannot "technically" return the tablet anymore because it cant be relocked... so how likely do you think it is that best buy will notice that i am returning an unlocked tablet?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Einride:
How about checking it for these deal breaking defects before you unlock it?

Edit:

Also, it's not about whether or not they'll notice it, it's whether or not you should return an unlocked tablet. Which you shouldn't.
[Asus Transformer TF700] silenced3:
i understand this. but i am not going to argue about ethics when a $500 product has been conveniently pushed into the market with rampant cases of defects/software issues/ota failures. besides afaik best buy will not lose anything on the replacement. a defective tablet is the vendor's fault. further, unlocking the bootloader hardly does any damage to the tablet itself. asus can easily relock it if it wants - such cases are well known for primes gone in for repair.

i am just asking for experiences of people. it does not make me happy to do this either. but its $500 afterall :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Einride:
You're talking about returning it within a month, which seems to be the store's return policy. If you then return it, Asus plays no part in that since it's the store taking it back. Not Asus. I doubt that the store will contact Asus to check whether it's been unlocked or not.

That would be a problem since they'll sell the tablet to someone else, maybe with a $20 discount since it's been returned. That customer will then end up with a device that doesn't have a warranty from Asus since it's been unlocked.

If you're RMA-ing it, that's different. Asus handles it then.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
The way that I understand it, when you return something to Best Buy (or any retailer for that matter) and tell them that it was defective, they simply return it to Asus and they get their money back as well. Now, if you tell them that it works fine and you just didn't like it, they *may* re-sell it as an OpenBox item.

I'd suggest that you claim it is defective so that nobody else ends up with an unlocked bootloader when they didn't want one.

In my eyes, if it can't be unlocked, it's defective. While the unlock app does void the warranty and Asus won't support the app, it should still work! By releasing the unlock app, they are essentially saying that it's possible to unlock the bootloader on the device. If you can't do so, then it's defective.

At least thats my opinion on the matter!
[Asus Transformer TF700] gmfeny:
Did you receive the ota
[Asus Transformer TF700] silenced3:
nope no ota for me. im stuck with the .21 firmware. plus i am getting an impression of the speaker burning smell too :(

the reason i posted the OP was because i was expecting something like the speaker burning issue to crop up. now that it has, i am not going to unlock it. its going back X(
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eddie Hicks:
It is probably a moot point since apparently if you can not get OTA updates you probably can't unlock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] oo3:
First I would check to see if you can receive the OTA update. If you can't, then you can't unlock. I would make a case that the unit is defective because you can't get updates, but normally BB doesn't ask any questions (I'm in Portland too and have done plenty of returns/exchanges).

FWIW, I exchanged my unlocked TF300 for the TF700 and they didn't notice. Normally if it is something that is defective, they'll send it back to Asus anyways and they would re-lock it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] richB7:
I unlocked my TF700 mainly to see if it would since so many people could not and will be returning it to B&H this week as i'm not happy with the performance of the tablet. I'm within the return window and don't anticipate any problems doing so.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Chief Geek:
I see no moral issues with returning a device that is defective or not as expected due to bugs and performance issues. Now I would not mod the heck out of it for 29 days then take it back, but a detached screen, terrible lag, failure to update, and other issues have no bearing on whether its unlocked or not unless you have done something to cause these issues. I have returned several devices over the years to retailers and none have ever been checked for root/roms except at a T-Mobile store where the guy asked how I liked the ROM as he was trouble shooting before boxing it up and giving me a new one. He didnt care one bit. Most Best Buy employees don't know a thing about how to check for this and wouldnt even know a custom ROM by looking at it, there are exceptions however so no offense to anyone here that may have this type of job. Most of these folks just want to get you taken care of so they can move to the next person so they will check receipt, check that the serial number matches and so on then do the refund/exchange.
[Asus Transformer TF700] almostinsane:
Returned an unlocked TF300 to Bestbuy and picked up a 700 in return. No issues at all.
[Asus Transformer TF700] upstandingcitizen:
Are returns to BB fairly easy? I kinda want to give the tab a test run, but don't want to commit right away.

689 dollars is a small fortune.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Chief Geek:
Get the 32gig version for $500 + tax. As far as return policy they are about on par with anyone else out there. Expect a line and other inconviences, but they did away with their re-stocking fees on everything except special order items, and thats a hefty 25%. Regardless, I wouldnt recommend modding anything untill you know your going to keep it. Here's the link to the return policy.

[Asus Transformer TF700] almostinsane:
Just erase/format the tablet before you return it. The BB employee will turn it on, see that you already erased everything and then give you your money back. Super easy.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Underwater Mike:
I'm curious: What, specifically, are you unhappy with? I assume that it's not a physical defect?
[Asus Transformer TF700] richB7:
I had the original 101 and liked it. Then got the 201 and even though it performed nicely I couldn't get past the WiFi and GPS defects. Returned two. Then went with the Samsung 7.7 and liked it well the responsiveness really took of after installing jelly bean. When the A700 came out tried that but it was way too slow. Waited for the tf700 got it and even though it was less choppy than the acer still pretty lame in moving between screens,browsing or just about anything. Heck Netflix on my $75 mk-201+ device works far better than it does on the 700 for $700.

This weekend I upgraded my phone to a Sammy sgs3 and I was blown away by how responsive it was. Yes they are different devices but it just made it very clear to me just how sluggish the 700 was in comparison. I won't criticize you who love the device, to each his own, but I expect better for this kind of money. Hope you get jb soon....

[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
In have the diztronic matte black and it's great. Its not too thick and has a decent grip to it. Some have said the cruzerlite tpu cases have a ribed side for grip.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tamanaco:
+1 For Diztronic matte black. Thin, light, good fit, easy to remove, no finger prints, slides easily in and out pockets, provides "adequate" protection of all 4 side edges given its thickness and a light lid-bumper around the front edges of the screen helps keep the screen from touching flat surfaces when the SGS3 is placed face-down. Btw... it also looks good.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] t3chn0s1s:
I have all 3 and I must say the THINNEST hands down is none of the above. Samsung actually makes the thinnest TPU case and also while its the thinnest it has covered flaps for the 3.5mm headphone jack and the micro usb charging port! While I love my clear matte back Diztronic case the Samsung one has it beat in terms of sheer thinness. It also has the least amount of lip so it doesn't lift the edges of a Zagg or other full screen protector. Just my 2 cents.
