Installing MIUI or ICS Rom on stock kernel without the camera inberted and pad bugs would be awesome!

Cracked it whilst trying to fix the screen separation ,stupid me.

Few weeks earlier I noticed the screen separation so I looked for a trusted guide on xda. I found one that told me to remove the back and to tighten all of the screws. I did so and the raised screen lowered.

A few weeks later(now) I saw that the problem had come back and it was pretty bad. So I did the same, took the back off and tightened the screws. Put it back on and turned it around, saw that it was still raised and decided to press down on it...that's when I heard the crack.

I guess to be careful guys, looks like tightening the screws makes the bezel fragile.

Luckily I paid an extra 20[edit:£30] for knowhow 'whatever happens' coverage for 2 years.

Rang them up on day of accident and got hold within 20 minutes. Service was very good and led me to a very understanding man. He said that someone will be here to pick it up Friday. No questions asked, he however was friendly folk and we spoke a bit, told me he is thinking of buying a nexus 7 and asked a few questions on it, he definitely knew about the haunted batch 1!

The guy at the shop gave me a discount for buying the nexus. :L
[Nexus 7 General] tony1208:
Where can I get that coverage? In the usa
[Nexus 7 General] i.amtom:
I have just remembered that I got it for £30 not £20, I came up with £20 after taking the £10 i saved from not buying it from google and doing the maths. Looking at the receipt the original price would have been £65 but the manager at the shop offered half price.

I'm not sure, it depends if there is a pcworld or currys in the USA seeing as I'm pretty sure they're the parent company of knowhow. (PC world and currys are same company)

[Nexus 7 General] Guardsix:
My screen cracked on my first Nexus 7, also. I had it leaning against the wall and for some reason it just fell forward and smacked on it's screen! Again,this wasn't a drop or anything, just standing on edge and falling flat on it's face. Cracked clear across the device. Of course, the Nexus was unresponsive.

I took it back to Office Depot and told the Manager what happened. Fortunately, he was very considerate and swapped it out for a brand new Nexus 7. The new one is perfect. I keep it in a protective case now!

However I'm sorry about your loss. My condolences go to you and your family.

[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
As many have come to discover, with ICS, LG has gone over to the dark side and locked their bootloader.

So what does this mean for us P93X users? This means that if we upgrade to ICS via the official LG tool or by using an LG ICS .kdz, our bootloader is now locked. This has caused problems for newer users who have managed to gain root access, only to subsequently soft-brick their phone when they attempt to remove default apps or install CWM via Rom Manager.

So what's the good news? It is possible to downgrade to Gingerbread using the Unbricking Guide stickied in this forum. Once on Gingerbread, if a user so desires, our very own HO!NO! has created a CWM-flashable version of official AT&T ICS that will not overwrite the device with the locked ICS bootloader.

The purpose I would like this thread to serve is a place to discuss the nature of the bootloader on the P93X and to answer questions about how it works (in addition to the warning above that I hope new users see). Here are some questions I have:

Which partition is it on our device?

Is it possible to simply overwrite a phone on ICS with a Gingerbread firmware without having to unbrick?

Can we get a collection started of various bootloader images for all the devices (i.e. P930 AT&T/Bell, P935, P936, SU640)?

If my suspicion is correct, anybody who has gone through the Unbricking Guide is currently using the SU640 Gingerbread bootloader, including myself. It's possible there are no differences in the various devices' Gingerbread bootloaders, but from available evidence, I do not believe that is the case. We already know, for example, that anybody who has never unbricked their phone is not able to successfully flash and use the CWM-flashable ICS and ICS leak that HO!NO! has released.

Thoughts?
[LG Nitro HD] skoobbarnes:
is there a plan to, or can the boot loader be overwritten in leaked ics?

I rooted my lg nitro and then bricked it within an hour. I flashed the leaked ics and rooted. Like we know cwm and cwm touch don't work with ics. I went back to ginger bread so I could backup my rom and flash custom rooms. I like this flexibility; however, I hate how fast my battery drains. I have tried all roms out here. All suck the juice within hours. ics leaked version With locked boot loader rooted lasts all day. Even listening to music with head phones.

Tried jellybam

Nitrogen with ho!no!

Hono

Cm10

Cm9

And quite a few others I can't remember right now.

Is there a way to get battery life like I get from leaked ics on any of these roms.?

[LG Nitro HD] tdm:
The spectrum users at androidforums figured out a way to replace the locked boot loader with the unlocked one. Nobody has done this for the nitro yet but I am sure it is possible. All we need is a dev to make it happen. Unfortunately I am not willing to install a locked boot loader on my phone so I cannot do it. Perhaps another dev can do this?
[LG Nitro HD] arda99:
does spectrum share same partition layout as nitro hd?

I think the unlock process should be as easy as some dd script if we can locate the right partition(s).
[LG Nitro HD] tdm:
It is not the same but very close.

It is a bit more complicated than a dd script, you also need a unlocked kernel (such as the cm9 kernel).

Contact Neph81 and death2all110 at AF, they are the devs who did this.
[LG Nitro HD] skoobbarnes:
Ho!no! did it.

Ho!no! did it. I flashed this modified leaked version. MY battery last for ever now. Thank you HO!NO!

CWM touch works well with this release. The only thing I did not like about the leaked release was the locked boot loader.

NO MORE locked bootloader thanks to HO!NO!. There is also a V20 that was released. Have not tried that one.

I appologize because the answer was already on XDA.

Though my status say junior, I have used this site for my own education for years, but nevr needed to ask any questions until recently. lol

I searched and found this thread

http://androidforums.com/spectrum-a...oot-cwm-lg-spectrum-4g-ics-linux-install.html

its rooting with qemu + dd some images. But I don't understand why need so many images(and the exact purpose for each of them).

and I don't get the "unlocked" kernel part since we can use stock kernel+GB bootloader on P930.

Anyway, its as easy as some dd script but it might be too risky to figure out the whole thing.
[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
I don't understand why you would want to spend the time and effort on this project when the unbricking method in my signature allows you to restore the P930 gingerbread bootloader, which you can then install CWM on top of and flash your roms all you want.

Just curious, can someone outline why this would be worth the time investment?
[LG Nitro HD] arda99:
because its more easier than yours.

can be done in one simple shell/batch script.

sorry but its unrelated. cwm roms don't touch the bootloader part and to have cwm working, you need an unlocked bootloader to begin with.

here we're talking about how to replace a locked bootloader with an unlocked one, so one can install cwm and continue, including installing the rom you mentioned.
[LG Nitro HD] notzippy:
How is it easier ? You still have to install CWM to flash the zip so I do not see the advantage of this either.

[LG Nitro HD] arda99:
one is like 10-20 steps, another is as easy as 1 click...

and they're the same because cwm is installed regardless???

This fixed it for me. I manually deleted the .nomedia file with a root explorer program, make sure hidden files are viewable if you do this.

Additionally, I had to clear data in Media Storage under settings -> application -> All

Reboot to Recovery and wipe cache partition then reboot phone and everything should be back.

Make sure you update to the latest version of Rom Manager prior to all this.

I'm running SkyICS by Seanzscreams and just ran into the nomedia problem today, so its not an isolated issue CM10

Hey just wanted to give everyone a heads up about this deal.

So my i777 has been acting up. The USB port is totally ****ed and thinks it's always charging and does not connect to my computer.

So I called AT&T to get it replaced, but they're out of the i777, and they gave me the options to get an ION, One X, or Skyrocket.

I chose the One X, and I'm getting it tomorrow with a free upgrade to 2 day shipping too.

Hopefully this helps some owners who are still under 1 year warranty?

EDIT: They only offered me a Skyrocket at first, but I was nice and friendly, and the rep went to talk to her supervisor and gave me the ION and One X as options too.

I just called about the camera not focusing and making that buzz sound. They said the i777 was backordered and would be replaced with a skyrocket. I said no, and asked if I could early upgrade or get anything else. They said no. I asked if a service center might have one, they said they can't verify the stock, but I could try. I really pushed for anything other than the skyrocket, politely, and they said no. It would be free, but my only option. I guess if the service center doesn't have one I'll call back and try again. I really want an S III, in red, but I could live until may when I qualify for upgrade with a One X.
