[HTC Pico (Explorer)] ROFLkopter:
Build #8 is the latest, and most stable, version. But some people have reported poor wifi signals.

It's a matter of personal opinion. If you just want a phone that's fast and smooth, use CM9.1. If you want your device to be look good then use one of the MIUI builds. They're based on older builds of CM9 though, so aren't as efficient.

But it's your choice. CM9.1 or MIUI? Try them both and stick with your favourite :)

Thanks both. I am liking MIUI better. But isn't development of MIUI is stopped? I mean is it being developed or its fully stable and no more development required.

hi,

recently got a htc explorer, smartphones and always had them and it changed the roms but usually tend to be of top phones.

I wanted to ask if the roms that are available here are fast as the original rom or lose a bit of performance?

I am I'm inclined to try the rom cm9.1 build8 from what I've read here in the forum
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] kennykiller15:
I was also very skeptical about the performance. But I'm on CM9 bulid#8 almost a week and it is very smooth. I would even say a little bit better than the stock rom, but it could just be me. The only lag I recognize is when opening the app drawer for the first time. It's my first custom rom and I don't know why I have waited so long =)

You lose warranty as soon as you do the HTCdev bootloader unlock.

But what reblock bootloader?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] sker100:
Bootloader unlock is need to root the htc so i can get costum roms or is just so to unlock the htc to vodafone, tmn, etc... ?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] soham.b:
For Rooting

Unlocking bootloader is basically done for rooting the device.

and after rooting you can install custom ROM if you want or else you can stay on stock ROM.

Cm 9.1 Bulid#9 released... best battery backup :cowboy:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] bobharding:
I have used cm9 build #8 for over a month. I came from the stock rom. Subjectively I think it is faster than stock. I use the explorer to play geocaching which uses gps heavily to work the compass and cgeo works better with build #8. I flashed #9 over #8 and everything worked except play store would no longer open so I am back to #8. I can't find any bugs at all with #8. The so called wifi bug is not really a bug at all. The signal strength icon shows about one less band than with stock, but the actual wifi range and data transfer speed are just as good as stock.

miui, but wait for it

I think MIUI is most well thought android and it's looks and options are far better than CM imho. However, when in comes to response time, it seems a bit laggy and latest CM9 feels much faster.

So, I'm waiting for someone to make miui based on latest CM9 build and make it faster and more fluent... preferably this one.

also, holo sandwich is a great rom based on CM9, so you can give that a try if you like.

i prefer CM 9 than MIUI

but Both lack internet pass-through which is a great feature in SENSE based roms and other reverse tethering i tried didn`t work with me
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] bobharding:
Thanks bluerain28. Just going from cm#8 to #9, I didn't realise I needed to reflash gapps. Anyway play store and all my other apps now work. Unfortunately the only difference I notice is the button for the camera is now circular like it should be not oval as in #8. There are probably other subtle improvements as well that I just don't notice.

Also the battery lasts just as good in build #9 ( and #8) as the stock rom. Battery life is always dependent on the apps you have running. If for example you are using an app that uses gps, this will drain the battery. I don't know what some people expect.

[General Questions and Answers] hawksprite:
I hope i'm in the right board for this, if not i'm sorry, but i've run into a major issue recently.

While working on installing MIUI on my Galaxy S 4G from Tmobile I hit a point where it turned offand absolutely nothing is happening. I don't remember when exactly this happened but I think it was after something with odin.

It's not detected by Kies or anything, it's just off and nothing can get it to turn back on. I left it on the charger and went to sleep last night, this morning it still isn't doing anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] pudgybunnyBry:
In the state that it's in, I believe the phone will still boot into Download Mode, even though nothing appears on the screen. Odin will still recognize the device if it is booted into download mode.

Just open the back cover and remove the battery. It is also recommended you remove the SD card and SIM card. Put the battery back in, and connect the usb cable while holding the power up button, and plug it into your computer. Open up Odin and it should recognize the device still. If it doesn't, try these steps again until it does.

Since you were trying to flash MIUI, we should be safe to assume you're running Gingerbread on your SGS4G, so you can download a stock, Odin flashable ROM from here. Flash that using the PDA in Odin, let it reboot, and you should be fine again.

If you have any further questions that need answering, refer to the SGS4G community.
[General Questions and Answers] hawksprite:
Thanks for the help, currently i'm attempting to get Odin to recognize it with no success. I've gone through the process about 3 times and will continue till I hopefully get some results. If it makes any difference I don't hear the sound of windows detecting a new USB device anymore like i use to when I would put it into download mode.
[General Questions and Answers] pudgybunnyBry:
As far as I remember, Windows doesn't make a sound when booting into Download Mode. I just realized I made an error in my previous post. You need to be holding the volume up button when you plug it into the computer. In some cases you will need to hold the power button at the same time. Try giving it the volume up + power on button when you plug into your PC. Make sure you're holding the button combo long enough for the SGS4G to power on and into Download.

go to the "dial" icon, just as you were making a call, and press *#*#0011#*#*, now, press the back "arrow", go to "phone control", then "Network Control", and to "band selection", and select the correct band for your location(when i bought this phone, it was full on wcdma, and here we use GSM), and be sure to enable "data package" in the configuration.

i hope this could help you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Why take him through this process instead of just going to the settings menu? Also he said he's wiped and gone to several different roms and the problem persisted. Which wouldn't make sense if it was a setting like what you've posted, because it wouldn't stick between different rom flashes.

[General Questions and Answers] thebeastglasser:
Everybody out there is asking, how to unbrick this, how to unbrick that? Or if you're in the Evo 3D thread, how do I brick my Evo 3D?

What I'd like to know is, why, or how does a phone get bricked? If you have a USB with corrupted files, you can just totally wipe it and start fresh. If there's no hardware troubles, why isn't there a way to just do a wipe of everything and start fresh?

And also, how is it that a phone gets bricked in the first place? I've heard about things with Emmc boot, getting stuck there, wiping bootloader, etc. But I've flashed multiple different bootloaders, and you have to dabble with Emmc boot while getting S-OFF, so why is it impossible to get out of these if you get stuck in them? Isn't it just software holding you back?

Honestly, if you really just wanted, couldn't you just use an ultra powerful magnet to the NAND Memory to ultra wipe everything? I mean phones aren't assembled with bootloaders or any data in them, in a sense they're factory bricked when they're first created... no?

Ah well, I suppose that's all.

Hungry for information,

TBG
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
Phones get bricked when you go somewhere in the software that you can't get out of,or you edit the software wrongly, so it doesn't work right anymore. Of course,you could always break something,and kill your phone.
[General Questions and Answers] thebeastglasser:
But why is it you can't do a total erase and obliterate every trace of memory from the phone and re-write it? I know the on board memory in a phone doesn't come pre programmed with memory...
[General Questions and Answers] SimonTS:
No but things like the eMMC chip DO come pre-programmed. If you simply wiped every trace of memory from any phone then it would have no idea how to boot up, how to interface to the USB, how to do anything.

Most of the time a 'Bricked' phone is actually caused by someone not reading properly first and not following the instructions correctly, or by thinking they know better than everyone else and can skip a step or take a shortcut.

On the HTC Desire S there was a problem with the eMMC chips 'frying' - normally caused by people who insisted on pulling their batteries after a lock-up and then re-inserting them quickly before the circuitry had discharged fully :eek:
[General Questions and Answers] DD-Ripper:
The reasons why phones get bricked :

-Because of a nooby brain

-Corrupted ROM that is not Welly built

-Flashing wrong updates, kernels, ROMS...

-Messing up build.prop

.....many numerous other reasons.

You will understand what bricking means only when you brick your beloved phone :)

That moment is just like a Mini-Heart attack.

[General Questions and Answers] thebeastglasser:
No trust me, I semi bricked my old E4G for Sprint as well as my Transformer Prime and was stuck in fastboot with my Evo 3D... trust me, I'm kind of the definition of mini heart attack...

But why can't you get out of a "hard brick?" And what is it that defines a hard brick that makes it so that you can't do anything else?

EDIT: And does abhardbbrock have to be a hardware error? Or can it be a software error?

EDIT2: Although I suppose I already knew it could be a software error... It can happen easily while getting S-OFF on the EVO 3D.
[General Questions and Answers] Idexius:
Probably the most obvious case of "hard brick" is when you can't even start the phone, or open the bootloader, which means that there is no way to reverse the situation as you can't get access. Not sure what's the actual reason these things happen though.
[General Questions and Answers] devwithzachary:
Most of the time a hard brick is the result of a part of memory getting wiped that you don't have access to flash to e.g emmc chip,if it gets damaged you can't just flash it as its preprogrammed
[General Questions and Answers] thebeastglasser:
ALRIGHT, now that makes sense. Thank you for clarifying. I salute you sir.
[General Questions and Answers] AbleAmazing:
Yup, when a device is hard bricked, memory that contains drivers for the boot sequence has been erased or corrupted. Thus, the device quite literally doesn't know how to boot. Data has been erased that can only be manipulated during hardware assembly.

How to repair soft bricked android?

Okay so first of all I will let you know why a phone gets bricked-

>Corrupted Rom

>Some system files got deleted

>Rooting

>Modding

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

MY CASE

I always keep two phones with me like one for my experiments and one as a backup. In this case I'll be talking about my LYF WIND 3 that got bricked.

>Actually I was trying to install TWRP onto that phone but first I had to root it, and due to the upgraded android security, I wasn't able to do via KingoRoot so I tried I-ROOT and it did the job but instead of kingo-superuser I got some ****ty superuser so i tried granting permission to the actual SUPERUSER and while doing so I accidentally double rooted my phone (First with I-ROOT and then with KingoRoot), which was kinda stupid, so it just deleted some system files and my phone wouldn't boot after that. It just got stuck on the boot logo.

>The second time I was trying to replace the boot animation and logo but did something wrong so the same situation arose again.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

CURE

So my phone uses a Qualcomm CPU so i just guessed I'll flash it again.

*After Intense Googling*

I found this software QFIL (Qualcomm Flash Image Loader)

I downloaded this file and the drivers for my device. *Google it you'll find for yours too*

Then I downloaded the Stock Rom for my device *Google it again*

Now I just went over to Flat Build in that software and loaded the firehose file and the rawprogram.0 and Patch.0

Now I had just put my device in Download Mode (Volume Keys and Power Key)

Connected via USB and it detected it and then just clicked on DOWNLOAD

It takes about 5 minutes.

After this your phone gets good as new (Unroot, Full Reset)

Then a couple of days, Google is prompting me to update into their latest software which is 4.1.2 JZO54K

I agreed to download it then my device restarted.

Then I noticed that Supersu is denying root access to my apps (like stickmount, gamecih).

I found out that updating will unroot your device. I'm only a noob when it comes to android. So I still need to learn more.

My question is do I need to re-root it again? Will wugfresh's toolkit work on it? Which I doubt coz JZO54K is only 2 days old.

Any guides to root it again? Thanks guys.
