[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jawadamjad:
Hi all

I am in urgent need of help to fix my Atrix 4G.

The Story:

I have an Atrix 4G. It was on 2.2.4 then official update came and I updated it to 2.2.6.

Then I was wondering about installing custom rom. This was my first time to install a custom rom. So I googled and found.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1398819

Neutrino ROM V2.9 [14/08].

So I rooted and unlocked my fone. My fone was successfully rooted and unlocked and I restarted it and there was Unlocked written on Booting Screen.

In this procedure I had to reset the phone so it was back to 2.2.4.

After that I downloaded the above rom put in in SD Card and Downloaded Recovery APK from market and it asked to restart the phone with power adapter plugged to start so I did the same. And recovery started. Then following the instructions I installed the custom rom and it was installed successfully it was my first time so I didnt took any backups unfortunately. So after installation the phone did'nt actually start. It was stuck on Booting Screen with Moto Logo.

So I again googled and started to find the solution some said restart some said remove battery some said wait I tried all but no result.

Then I tried to install the stock rom.Following this

http://androidforums.com/atrix-4g-all-things-root/510778-flashing-back-stock.html

When i start to run RSD lite it says Creating Image and then throws an error like Unable to send RAM files.

Now I want to fix my Atrix 4g and there is no backup and no recovery mod.

My fone can go into options like Fastboot and RSD Protocol Mode. I mean I can access options on pressing Power and Volume Up/Down buttons.

Can any one please tell me solution? :( I will be very very thankful.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ovitz:
In fastboot flash recovery

fastboot devices

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot falsh recovery recovery.img

fastboot reboot

Go to recovery mode, try to wipe data, cache and dalvik. If you have Neutrino rom on your internal SDcard you can flash it with recovery.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jawadamjad:
I have erased data many time from the Android Recovery

And I think there will be no recovery.img. Where can I get it??

There is option of data and cache partition wipe but there is no option like Dalvik.

Can you please guide me it was my first time with custom roms and I didnt took any backups.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ovitz:
in fastboot package is recovery...

Thanks, Fortunately my senior has installed Custom rom in it. And it is working fine with custom rom.:o
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmace:
Hi guys, hope someone can help me, I have 2 problems stopping me from installing 75% of the apps I want on my tablet which I just updated to it's official JellyBean ROM. No one else has reported this problem with this tablet/ROM so I hope someone knows the solution.

1) with around 50% of the apps (paid for and free) I get the error "Couldn't Install on the USB storage or SD card" (see screenshot)

2) a lot of apps (Chrome for example) say they are not compatible, yet they were fine in ICS and they are fine on my JellyBean phone.

Number 2 I've seen before and been able to add an android.hardware.location.gps.xml file in to system/etc/permissions and it's work, but it's not working this time.

Number 1 has me really stumped, searching the net finds the problems on all sorts of devices and there's 2 solutions, neither of which work, one is to unmount the SD card and install, then remount it - I've unmounted & removed the card, but nothing (I have 16Gb internal memory too). The other solution is to delete any files called "smdl2tmp1" of which I have none.

Now I've tried wiping the cache etc, re-installing the ROM, doing factory resets etc but nothing is helping. I have also noticed that my internal memory isn't getting wiped each time and I cannot find how to wipe it.

The tablet has CWM recovery built in but it's in chinese, but I know my way around it.

I have noticed that if I install and load up Astro file manager it lists my storage options as this (click for screenshot)

Local Storage 1 (USB) - I have nothing plugged in to the slot

Local Storage 2 tries to point to external SD card even when it's unmounted or not even in (this still appears if I have nothing plugged in on boot too)

Local Storage 3 is my internal memory

Local Storage 1 & 2 allow me to open them but there's nothing in there and I cannot add folders etc (no errors, it just doesn't do it)

Please can anyone offer advice?

My tablet is pretty useless with hardly any apps installed on it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Landara:
Hi I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus and today I simply stopped receiving signal on it. I don't know how or why. I didn't flash anything or even use my phone at all. At one point it was working fine, then I noticed that where my signal bars should be, I have nothing but greyed out bars and an "X" on top of that. This was hours ago. I called T-Mobile(I use T-Mobile Prepay) and they had me do several things like remove battery and sim, and nothing helped. I have a custom ROM(Black Bean). I have used this ROM for weeks with no issue. Just to make sure I did a nandroid and I restored my old Stock-Rooted ROM. Still no signal. I then did a full wipe did a full wipe and installed Black Bean 3.1.2(older version which I know for a fact works fine) on a clean install. Still there is no signal. If I try to make a call, it tells me to turn off Airplane mode before making a call. But I am 100% that Airplane mode isn't on. I can go and turn it on, then back off even. Still I have no signal. I have no way of knowing if this is my phone or T-Mobile having tower problems. I called but they don't know anything since it was the pre-pay support line call center in India.

I have been generally disappointed with T-mobiles service. I would gladly give up the rest of my current month and re-subscribe to Straight Talk with ATTs Towers right now, but I'd have to get service going with them again and that would cost 45 bucks. And it's a waste if there is something wrong with my phone. So now I don't know what to do! =/

Edit: Quick update, I put in my Straight Talk SIM thinking that even if it were out of minutes, it would at least let me connect to the towers so that I can add more. Still nothing. If I hold down power(under stock) it brings up the power screen and that tells me that Airplane Mode is on even though I have it off in settings. If i click on that message, it says "Airplane Mode is OFF" but it isn't really, because if I go out and back in again, it's back to saying that it's on. However, I do have it turned off in my settings. I will also mention that WIFI does work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nasimdejai:
Check if you activated the 2G option under Mobile settings. I had a similar issue a few weeks back. Almost drove me mad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Sounds like your phone is the problem if there's discrepancies about whether airplane mode is on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etherspin:
Hi SGS2 people. Im in Australia and bought an i9100 a month or so after it launched, I've looked after mine well,no scratches,water damage,drops but for the past week it has been streaking up on the screen so frequently,I keep grabbing towels,using my shirt,a tissue etc to wipe oil off but normal skin oils are making coloured streak lines/shimmery patterns/blurry spots.

is it possible to wipe the coating off in time and are there ways to recoat without putting on screen protectors?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
instead of taking the pain of searching for a recoat option, i would suggest u to put a good screen gaurd which can take care of ur screen for some months for sure:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kranti2064:
Happens all the time with people who have oily skin (like me :))

Use a screen protector and you can keep wiping off the oil without worrying about the oleophobic layer...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etherspin:
Thanks for the responses guys, I should clarify, Im wondering if this is something that happens to the SGS2 screen over time,I do not have oily skin, this has only been happening for around 2 weeks and yep, I know a screen protector will remove the problem - its a build quality/usability question, has anyone else had this problem with their screen?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shefk1:
I have the same problem nowadays. When I bought my phone 3 months ago I can't remember having the need to wipe the screen ever. But now, everytime I touch the screen it leaves greasy, coloured lines and fingerprints behind. Annoying. I'm constantly wiping the screen with towels and my shirt, and it doesn't help (at least not for very long time). It has to have something to do with wearing. Is a screen protector the only solution?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etherspin:
this could be the solution!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam-san:
Hi guys, just a generic question. What does it mean when the phone is unlocked? I got an unlocked Galaxy S III I9300 and I'm using it on US T-Mobile. Curiously, the phone came with a lot of German T-Mobile bloatware. Are all I9300 not the same? Is it possible to make it completely carrier free? Please enlighten me :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
It means its not locked to a network .

Branded means its branded by a carrier/network.provider .

Flashing stock rom will remove the branding .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam-san:
Thanks for the info. Is there a way to update to the stock rom officially through kies or something? And I'm just wondering, are there any carriers in Europe that use stock rom?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
If you do it through KIES, it will keep all the branding, because it will update the ROM for the same CSC (operator-specific firmware) you have.

You need to first install, using Odin or MobileODIN, an unbranded firmware. All countries have branded and unbranded firmwares.

For instance, an UK unbranded ROM can be downloaded like this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28367295#post28367295

There are unbranded ROMs for all European countries. Use CheckFus to figure out what their CSC code is.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam-san:
Thanks. So after i flash an unbranded firmware i can get the unbranded rom updates? And it won't wipe my phone right. Does samsung sell the I9300 with unbranded firmware and rom anywhere in Europe? Personally got mine on Amazon.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Providers sales outlets networks may sell unbranded and or unlocked throughout the world .

CPW car-phone warehouse UK is unbranded and unlocked .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam-san:
Check Fus shows my csc is I9300DTMLH2
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
- It won't wipe your phone, UNLESS you tell it to.

- There aren't that many OTA updates anyway, so don't worry about it. Besides, when an update is released, you can install it on your phone using the Odin or MobileOdin methods long before it is available on the OTA. None of these require you to wipe your phone.

to use Odin you don't need root, but you do if you want to use mobileOdin.

I've flashed over 20 stock unbranded ROMs on my S III and I never did a data wipe on it, and yet it works flawlessly.

Using the top-right panel of CheckFus, you can download ANY CSC you want as long as it is for the GT-I9300. You don't have to keep it locked to a specific CSC. For Germany I believe the unbranded CSC is coded DBT (or something like that).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam-san:
Hey, thanks for the info. The website for Checkfus Downloader isn't working. Do you have a link to it or can you post it here? From what I've read, CHANGING the CSC will wipe the phone right. Is there any reason for me to change the CSC to UK or something? I don't really care if the default language is German as long as I can change it to English. I just want to get rid of the bloatware and get an unbranded firmware/rom.

EDIT: Found the firmware on SamMobile. Thanks for the DBT tip.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=6505

I just want to confirm flashing that won't wipe my phone? Because the CSC is different isn't it?

EDIT 2: Read your post again. So flashing the firmware won't actually change the CSC right. I just won't be able to keep the unbranded rom if I update via KIES?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam-san:
-Ok, so. Basically I can flash any unbranded firmware I want (UK, German, etc...) regardless of the CSC.

-I just have to use Odin everytime I want to update.

-Also, will I lose the unlock?

-Will there be issues with the modem/baseband/CSC incompatibility or something.

P.S. I keep asking if Odin will wipe my phone because I used to own a Galaxy S 1, and Odin was basically the last resort to flash your phone back to stock, and it was always a wipe.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sade26:
I have a galaxy s 3 which was given to me as a gift. It was on orange, but was unlocked for me so that I can use it on o2.

I have no idea how it was unlocked, but im unsure about upgrading the software through kies.

Can I still upgrade my software through kies to the latest jellybean? Because ive been waiting for the upgrade on my phone and it still hasnt come up. infact i dont have the option to check for updates either :(

what shall i do? I dont know if ill lose my data or block my phone by upgrading to jellybean via kies

help please
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cjt1984:
Your phone maybe unlocked but have the same carrier firmware. You need to flash via Odin a unbranded firmware, as if you do update by kies it may lock your phone again.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sade26:
thanks, how do I do that? i dont know much about phones/software/etc :eek:
[HTC Desire S] dribs:
Unfortunately can't post to the developer thread

Tried Quick Root 1.13 (universal exploit) on my Deisre S not branded with Stock Rom 2.3.5 S-on / Locked

According to log window everything worked fine, OKAY on every action, no errors.

But ... still no root. Checked with Root checker, Superuser and command line (adb).

What am I missing?
[HTC Desire S] SteveO_:
Your DS is still S-ON, for real root it has to be S-OFF. You got temp root, maybe you are able to push misc file with adb and edit version for RUU-downgrade...

What was your next step...?

You should try this, for me it worked:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1399331

So you are able to Unlock your bootloader for example with revolutionary (S-OFF) and root your DS permanently...
[HTC Desire S] dribs:
I know

Sure?

Just wanted to root in order to install apps like Titanium ..., no need for S-off or downgrade bootloader or install another ROM!

Seems like I still didn't understand what I found elsewhere:

“Root” is a term that essentially means running a program without restrictions. We have root management programs called Superuser and SuperSU that allow one to choose whether or not to allow a program to run with root access. ... You do not have to be either HTCDev unlocked (the official method), or S-OFF, or running a custom ROM to have root access, although most people would be running a custom ROM and be one of the two.

Hmm :confused:
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Yes you have to be S-OFF or at least S-ON unlocked. That's the whole point of it.

With your current state temporary root (until reboot) is the only possible thing you can achieve.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Sario27:
In case you haven't seen this yet here is the link.

Now if I understand this correctly, I have to be stock gingerbread and not rooted in order to get this working on our device? I am currently on ICS Codename Android and I receive the error message "Firmware is not compatible". Is there perhaps anyone on gingerbread that would like to give it try and see if it works for them rooted?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
If I've heard right you can use super su to turn root off/on
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Sario27:
That doesn't change much for me being on ICS haha
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
I'm on barebones and will try this out later today. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
Ok lol it works very well on barebones with root.

You can go back and forth either way ....controlling the computer or just watch or even mess with someone on your computer...and vice versa....control the phone from the computer...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chris31jct:
I read and watched the video, it says it works on ROMs that uses TouchWiz mainly... or stock-ish. So my guess is that it works on ICBINB, Barebones and RemICS? Someone correct me if I'm wrong. :)

@shortbus, can you send texts from Team Viewer and place calls? That would be a good thing.

I will try it later, I might go back to GB. Need battery life. Have to charge like 3 times per day now. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
I haven't tried...I noticed that on team viewer it say $0.05 per minute so i wasn't goin there.

Btw if you watch the video the Guy states it works on devices with gb or higher so it should work with ics.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] g4ry12:
Tried it on CM9 and controlled my Windows 7 laptop from my phone. It worked. And it's free for non-commercial use.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
Just tried on Remi and it says my firmware isn't supported.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Sario27:
Yeah I know the standard TeamViewer app works fine with any ROM for our phone, the app we are talking about in particular is for controlling your phone from your computer.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
The one for controlling the phone from the computer does work with root custom gb roms but I find it laggy as hell....almost to the point of it being worthless. :(

Hello guys I have finally rooted my LG OPTIMUS 3D MAX P725 phone and here are the steps originally from Russian forum 4pda.ru for LG OPTIMUS L5 working on our beloved OPTIMUS 3D MAX.

Working on LG OPTIMUS 3D MAX P720, LG OPTIMUS 3D MAX P725 AND LG OPTIMUS CUBE SU870 ONLY GINGERBREAD

NOTE : I am not held responsible for bricked devices

Follow the given STEPS CAREFULLY :

Upgrade "SuperSU", and then open the program asks updates ... Click OK, to

9.Update SU binary ...

10.Now you have a root-law. You can delete an application «SystemBackupTest» ...

Please see attached photos for proof Enjoy...

IT TOOK MORE TIME TO SEARCH AND TEST AND EDIT THIS METHOD THAN THE TIME YOU WILL TAKE TO JUST " HIT THANKS".

So, Don't forget to " HIT THE THANKS "
[LG Optimus 3D] lordasphyxia:
Sorry if this is a silly question but.. do you know if it works on V10d?

Let me know if you'd like any further information about my phone - I'm desperate to root this thing, I've spent so many hours trying so many methods.
[LG Optimus 3D] Eklovya:
It is working perfectly on v10c nd i think it will work also on v10d.

Its the easiest way.

Nd don't forget to hit thanx after rooting.

Soon more to come from me.
[LG Optimus 3D] lordasphyxia:
It worked!!

You, sir, are a legend.
[LG Optimus 3D] Eklovya:
Thanx for your words.

Don't forget to click thanx.

Soon more to come.

A recovery nd then a rom :)
[LG Optimus 3D] lordasphyxia:
I clicked the Thanks button before even writing :D

Yep a new ROM would be awesome. I have Bootmanager installed but it's not recognising the device. I had an HTC Desire HD before this, but I rooted that about 2 years ago - maybe I'm forgetting some step like ClockWorkRecovery?

I'll be watching this thread with great interest ;)
[LG Optimus 3D] Eklovya:
Yes after rooting next step is a recovery.

No CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY yet.

So i have asked one of my friend to make it for me.

Hope to get it working.

Then its easy to make a custom rom.

U can also be updated at my facebook page.

facebook.com/optimus3dmax
[LG Optimus 3D] lordasphyxia:
Darn.. I tried clockwork recovery backup phone ROM.. and now I think I've bricked it. Stuck at the LG screen. I should have just been patient and happy with the Root access :( Looking for ways to unbrick it.
[LG Optimus 3D] Eklovya:
For that u can download LG SUPPORT TOOL from the official site by searching your phone.

After installing.

Install it.

Run it and go to tools and recovery phone.

Add your imei nd click check.

Den u can recover your phone through it
