[LG Optimus 4X HD] juzz86:
CWM resides on the 'recovery' partition of the handset. A recovery is used to recover your phone in the event of a failure, or to flash an update. CWM overwrites your 'stock' recovery, and allows you to issue more commands to the phone. The largest benefit to CWM, however, is that it can flash unsigned packages, which is how you install a custom, non-OEM verified ROM :)

Hope this helps!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] rani9990:
This is so true. It happened with the nitro HD as well. They instructed is to push the recovery image to the secondary boot loader causing us to get permabricked; I had to send my phone to lg repair.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
i would have no problems if they instructed on the rooting part alone, but they moved on to how easy it was to get cwm working, thats a bummer.

but ok, i admit, that koush probably would not allow ANY user to install a cwm on a model they did not support anyways. but leading some users to believe it would work.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] rayfin:
Hey Dexter. I write for Android Authority. I did not write he article, but I will look into what you have mentioned and make sure the article gets updated. We can't publish content that could potentially harm a users device due to incorrect instructions. I wish I would have found this earlier. Maybe next time you could reply in the comments on said article so we could resolve the issue. Thanks again for the heads up!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ljungberg3:
Dexter, I wrote the article, and it was an honest mistake to include the CWM part. I have addressed the issue in the article. Trust me, I intend to help people, and our website is far from "anti-LG" and I am even further away from "wanting users to brick their mobiles". It was just an incorrect statement, and I meant no harm by posting. My apologies, this was my fault not the fault of Android Authority.

*edit* - also, I do not have the device on hand as I sent it to a co-worker, but could you explain to me why the flashing of CWM would brick your phone? I'm almost positive I did it, and my phone was perfectly fine.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
Tegra3 devices got a SBK(secure boot key) + encrypted partitions and it has a checksum of boot/recovery partitions, so if changed/updated the device will go into a brick state,claiming you cannot boot (RED big warning).

so with additional hacks , experienced users can unbrick the device using firmware upgraders. but otherwise just sending it back to the shops is the only way out, for regular owners without xda experience.

currently o4x is a locked device for boot and recovery partition changes, so no writing of recovery partition unless its signed with the signature key, which no one would own unless developing for o4x internals.

note/fyi,

the CWM i did, is not an image and its only bootstrap based, using a trick to re-load init process, so it retain the original recovery partition.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ljungberg3:
Well thank you for clarifying, I must have also installed the bootstrap based CWM, as I did have CWM recovery. I downloaded and assumed that I updated cwm through rom manager. Again, to clarify - I meant no harm in posting the article. I am not anti-LG, and I don't want users to brick their phones. I can say for a fact that the root guide is solid other than the CWM reference (which was one sentence within the entire article, mind you)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
all it takes is a one-liner!

As i also mentioned previously, i found the article ok, if it was not for the mention of cwm was next step to get it rollling. but good is that you corrected it.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ljungberg3:
Yes, I did correct it. We want to help our readers as much as possible. I hope that you can hold our website in higher regard than you did previously, when you posted the thread.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] m_primdahl:
Just thinking...

Could it be that you got hold of one of the developer models, and that's why you were able to install CWM via rom manager??

When we first tried to get root, someone made a guide on here. Turned out it only worked for him because he had an unlocked developers phone running software version V08(someting more I don't remember)...

But as I said, just a thought!!!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ljungberg3:
I don't have the phone anymore... but I did have a device sent directly from LG as a review device. So, it could have been a dev model.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Utkarsh.bhatt12:
I always use http://tutznet.com and XDA Developers website for Android Tuts, I have been reading this Android Authority site for a while, looks like one of their writer wrote this crappy article without knowing about it.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ljungberg3:
Good one. I wrote the first article on the web about how to root the Optimus 4X HD. I even made the video that is in the article, so don't tell me I don't know what I'm doing.

Hi guys running all stock on my s3 and since I've had the phone (2 months) I've never had an OTA pushed to my handset??? I know there have been several because my GF is getting hers. Were both on the same UK network too. Anyone else have this problem? I don't want to have to rely on crappy kies every-time I contacted samsung who said to do a factory reset of my phone WTF? Done it and suprise suprise 'no update available' yet i'm still on june 11th software.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunno:
It looks like you have a proprietary firmware. The uk international version has i9300XX*** as the firmware name, i dont know where your i9300NE*** name comes from.

Is your girlfriend's phone an international version? In which case yours must be branded
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patmacca:
Hmmmm yes my gf's is xx not ne. We both had our handsets supplied from 3 nerwork in the UK. Mine was returned after a week as it was faulty and this is the replacement sent. What does that mean? Can I resolve the ota issue?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patmacca:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunno:
As you've got a branded rom i think you will have to wait for 3 to roll the updates out, as it's not a Samsung issue.

Or you could flash a stock rom with odin and make your phone into an international one
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rambooka:

try installing the omega rom.... then you can stay up to date and make phone better !!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Check that your CSC version is correct, my UK unbranded phone was set to KOR (korea) not BTU (uk unbranded) so I was getting no OTA's, I fixed that at the weekend and got an OTA straight away.

Google "How to change samsung CSC version" for the dialer code to use (beware you need to know your IMEI number and it will wipe your phone!)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patmacca:
Thanks lenny, when you say it will wipe my phone do you mean factory reset? Does it affect warranty etc?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buge boyo:
I had same problem as you I am on 3uk also I downloaded Odin and flashed stock firmware, no it won't void your warranty after flashing stock firmware make sure you change the modem to nelf1 as this works best with 3uk or you might end up having 3g and signal problem.

[General Questions and Answers] LDelSanto86:
Hi guys,

I just got turned on to GO SMS PRO today, and I really love the functionality and customization. Problem is, I just rooted my Verizon Galaxy Nexus and installed Jelly Bean, and I completely dig the new notifications. I tried turning off notifications on GO SMS, and setting it as the default send and view program..which allows me to only receive notifications from the stock SMS app, but when I click that notification, it opens up with the stock as well, even though GO SMS is the default view program. Is there any way around this or is it an all or nothing situation? I'd really appreciate any help I can get! Thanks!

Change the name of the stock messaging app, or company remove it from system apps using root explorer

If you wish to remove it, I'd copy and paste it elsewhere in your sd card so you have it later if desired.

7.Fix security lock issue in ICS

8.Fix number lock issue in JB (Android 4.1)

9.Fix ring choice, notification issues in JB
[General Questions and Answers] LDelSanto86:
Thanks for the responses guys!

I actually couldn't find the stock messaging app in root explorer! I looked up messaging, SMS, and nothing came up..not sure what else it would be under. But if I did that, would it actually force the stock notification to open up with GO SMS, or would it just prevent it from opening with the stock app?

Thank you, but I believe number 4 is just referring to the option to set GO SMS as the default SMS program..I have that set, but still when I click on the stock notification, it opens up in the stock messaging app. Lame!

Thanks again guys! :o

So, here it is. I flashed the OTA RUU shortly after it came out, and restored my nandroid backup of viperrez 1.0.3

Since then, I can't receive any texts or many phone calls. My phone says I still have my signal intact (cdma/lte). First time i heard that, it was from my sister. I thought it was her phone, since her droid 3 sucks. Since then, my mum and 2 of my friends have said the same thing. Do I need to re-do the RUU before I reflash the rom? Or is this something that I can fix without reflashing anything? Any and all help is greatly appreciated :)
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
I would suggest re running the ruu then flash the ROM. Its best not to restore a nandroid from a previous firmware as that can cause problems. I hope you can get this fixed ;)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PCap79:
Can somebody tell me what is going on with my phone??? Every so often I completely lose service and then my phone turns off. When I turn the phone back on the battery is completely drained. It just happened...before turning off the battery was at 97%, but when I turned it back on the battery was down to 5%. I've had my phone for over a year, but this just started happening in the past month.

I was running Unnamed 2.0 (GB) with EL29 modem and kernel up until last week. I tried Blazer v4.01 (GB). I just switched to the newest ICS version of Blazer with FG31 modem and rom. This has happened on each of these setups. Like I said, I was running the UnNamed - EL29 setup for a while without any problems. I've read about the loss of service bug with our phones, but I thought that was resolved a while ago.

Is there any zip file that can be flashed to resolve this? Any help and advice is greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DaMan90:


How long have you had the rom?0
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PCap79:
It started happening when I was on UnNamed 2.01...i ran that for close to a year without any problems. I just tried Blazer GB and ICS about a month ago.

I installed the Los file from another thread but that hasn't helped.

Could it be a virus on the phone?

Should I start with a completely new install of the ROM, kernel, modem and apps...rather than restoring previous backed up versions?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
^^^This. 90% or higher the problems described in this thread are due to a bad battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Yup, first it LOS, then flicker followed by turning off with no power down animation, reboot and battery is at or below 5%, shuts off again, won't reboot this is the biggest clue that the battery has pooped the bed. The battery can even still test as good, receiving and returning proper voltage but the battery is fubar if its bulging. Sprint corporate repair centers will replace free if they have one in stock, otherwise order an anker on amazon/eBay and then contact Samsung support they will email you a shipping label, you send them the battery and they will send you a new OEM battery and you end up with 2 for the price of the anker. This is the route I had to go took 10days to get my new one from Samsung from the day I mailed it til I received the new one

Edit: according to the guy I spoke to at Samsung they warranty the batteries for 18months instead of the 12 they warranty the device itself. Anker also warranties their batteries for 18months as well

I have the exact same issue.. my battery will be fully charged, then ill do something on the phone, it flickers, then restarts, and battery is completely dead..

I went to sprint, had them check my battery and they said the battery is fine...

Today my phone did this again, then when it restarted, all the setting I had on my messenger app, had all been reset, and so I had to do those all over again. And all the apps, that I had in folders I made, were now all out of the folders and I had to put them all back again. So frustrating.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
As stated before though, the battery may test as good but still be bad. Happens with cars too and very often actually. I'd just go back to the store and not back down until you get a new battery. This is a common issue and they know it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
The battery may test as functional but as soon as you can prove it's bulging - hence the spin test - they can't disagree that the battery is failing and requires replacement.

Networking: Dual band router (situated 1 metre away), gigabit server plugged into gigabit switch

(I can stream 1080p on my PC and Macbook Pro fine (due to stronger CPU's vs ARM design?))

Both mobile devices can stream 720p fine

I get issues when trying to stream 1080p. Obviously the Galaxy S3 only has a 720p screen anyway, but I still wanted to see if it was possible

I have tried multiple programs on both devices. At 1080p, the iPad can only stream the audio. No picture. The Galaxy S3 is able to stream both audio and video, although the video is choppy

What is the bottleneck here? Is it due to poor software? Or are the ARM A9 CPU's too weak for this kind of thing? I know they can play local 1080p content perfectly fine, but there seems to be issues with network content

I used Terminal Emulator to backup my phone (through CWM) using a command 'on android'. Unfortunately, I can't restore the backup... a little help? Is this a known bug?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
I'm not sure what exactly you mean, you shouldn't be doing a full nandroid backup via the terminal emulator or even when the phone is 'active'.

To properly do a backup.

Reboot into Recovery

Backup (which saves it to a folder on SD Card /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup)

to restore

Same steps just 'restore' instead of backup.

Otherwise I think you need to be more clear what you mean. Though as always steps like that should not be done while the OS is running.

Its a pain in the arse cos I just wanted to try out the test builds for Andromadus jb. Now I'm kinda stuck with it... The process of backing up again will be quite a task... hope that's clearer
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
1) Never completely rely on a backup tool until you have tested it completely to work. (ie: don't use it expecting that to be the backup you require), in otherwords use recovery in the mean time for nandroid backups.

2) There was a text in bright red on the first post regarding if it couldn't find the boot image to flash such and such zip (probably to make it work after the fact).

The OP's rom is CM7 in his signature, it probably doesn't understand how to correctly backup ICS roms if you are using one. I wouldn't really use an online nandroid tool , rather if I needed something for online backups (such as of apps and settings) I would use something like Titanium Backup.

Also some recoveries (like 4EXT Touch Recovery), using the recovery control can be made to schedule a nandroid backup (ie; reboots into recovery makes a full backup, reboots back into the phone when done).

Far as making your existing backup work, I'm not certain, you might have to flash the rom it's based off of clean, then remove the boot image from the backup and then try to perform a recovery without it (not sure if it's possible with clockworkmod, but I know in 4EXT you can do an advanced restore selecting which exact part you'd like to restore such as your data or system partition).
