I own a Droid X2 and all I know is that it is not the same as the Milestone X2. You can't use the same ROMs and mods for both. So whatever you use, make sure it is for your Milestone X2. Stick around here though for questions and tutorials. There are quite a few people in here that use the Milestone X2 and will help you out when they see your post. The link you posted looks like a process to use someone elses nandroid. I think anyway. The files in there look like the ones you would need to at least get started though. And It's been said but I will say it again. Dont use Rom Manager. Its more for unlocked phones. Any mods or ROMs you want on your phone, download them from here. Not Rom Manager.
[Motorola Droid X2] shariatiae:
I appreciate the response guys. I will not use any Droid X2 ROMs and will continue my search.

Damn regional carriers cant get a decent phone, if it wasn't so cheap.

Are there any ROMs that allow everything to work (wifi, 3g, camera) that are compatible with the Mx2? (Don't need anyone to go on a in depth search just seeing if its out there)
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Yes, they are all in this forum. Just look in the development section. After our Droid X2 dev creates a ROM, someone with a Milestone X2 usually makes it for theirs. I think the Milestone has its own SBF file. But the Bootstrap recoveries are all the same I think. Again, dont rely only on what I say since I dont know much about the Milestone X2. But once you get a recovery working for you, you do a nandroid backup with that. I dont know if your new to Android or just this phone but you cannot uses just any file for your phone. It has to be made specifically for the milestone X2. Thats why I say stick to this forum and this forum alone because everything you need is in here. Just got to do a little searching and a lot of reading. Once you get confortable with everything, things will be really easy from then on.
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
The milestone has one sbf meant for ntelos so be careful. you can get other carriers to work with it if your lucky. as for the recoveries you use the exact same ones the dx2 users use. as for everything else search the development section for everything theyll be labled mx2 if they work with the mx2

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Death:
Good morning XDA Community,

i've got a real big problem and I hope anybody here can help me out.

I got my hands an a i9023 (from the boyfriend of my sister) he bricked it ... as he said because he made a Software Update.

After reading and reading .... these are the things I've done and tested so far.

1. Applies Unbrickeable mod

2. The device is regovnized in Linus (SPC....bla bla)

3. Using the Resurrector R 40 I can only get in Download mode

BUT only if I choose: Galaxy S

and not Nexus S

there is over all no possibility to get in fastboot mode at all :( (tried every methods discribed here)

4. So I tried to read PIT und Heimdall said it cannot do this .... I think it was corrupted und I updated it with

LATONA.PIT (from Google - for the Galaxy SL (i9003)

5. Tried to Update Firmware with 9023 Image .... at SBL/IPBL it said: unexpected eof same at SBL

6. I tried to Update with Odin ....

can read the PIT but doesen't flash at alll

7. Finanlly after some testing .... I flashed the i9003 Firmware ... everything ok said Heimdall ....

but GSM doesn't react at all.....

------------------------------

So I hope anybody here got an sugesstions for me how to go on .... or can share the Nexus SL PIT for me :)

Or the best thing is, if someone has an Heimdall Package with alll necessary files :).

Thx in advance to all :D

So long.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Death:
Can really nobody help me out ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
It should just boot to fast boot. Are you holding a key combo? You need to use fast boot with this device. Keep trying or throw it away. If its going into UBM mode, its recoverable.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Death:
Hi there ...

yes it's goint into UMB Mode... I tried to hold nearly every combination but it won't work :(. (Vol Up + Power / Vol Down + Power / Vol Up + Down + Power).

Ok i'll try it when I get home again.

Adam what SBl should I Take ? Nexus S or Galaxy S ?

I tried again one thing so far - flashed - i9000 firmware with heimdall - the Phone reponse with Search, Home and Back button on if it's connected to the charger....
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
Nexus S for Fastboot. Galaxy S may work but probly not.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Death:
Ok as you said if UMB is applied right it MUST work ...

I tried some things yesterday without sucess ....

So I opened the phone and look into it to see if the two points are shorted correctly .... I found out that they were not.

So this evening I''ll take the Phone to my friend again and rebuild the connection ....

Hope it works then :)

Thanks Adam.

Nexus 4 Vs LG Optimus

I am seriously contemplating the LG Optimus Vs the Nexus 4, I am very sure I will end up with one of them (AT&T). As time went on, I was noticing just how very different these phones are, even though they are all the same phone (sorta).

I am a regular XDA lurker, by no means am I a Android expert, and I expect errors to be in the chart above, point them out, and I will fix them. The chart is only meant to point out the differences, and not all the specs of the entire phone, and some basic specs all of them share.

My Questions to XDA:

If I get a LG Optiums from AT&T:

1) How hard will it be to get stock Android tethering working? (I have followed guides on how to enable tehtering on my familys phones in the past, it was a pain, but I managed.)

2) Could I even get Google wallet working on a LG Optimus, further more working if I load a custom rom?

Basically; I want to get a LG Optimus from AT&T and Hack/Root/Skin the phone to make it look/feel as close to a Pure Google Nexus device.... How possible is this? Is all this worth me trying to get a LTE phone?

Things I am Personally Considering:

* I like being out of contract, but I really want LTE (although my area does not yet even have LTE)

* I prefer the capacitive buttons over soft buttons, it makes the 4.7" screen feel all that much bigger.

* I use google wallet almost every day, I love it (I would loose this on the LG Optimus, unless I "unofficially get it working" I don't even know if that is possible or not.)

* I love the notification light on my G Nex

* I love the Gnex because its "Googles Playground" I get the latest OS always.

* I love Google Now, I would likely be installing a custom rom on the LG optimus if I got it to get Google Now back ASAP.

* Tethering will be supported stock on the Nexus 4, the Lg optimus will require some effort to get native Android tethering working.

* Price / Storage does not bug me in the least, I set aside $400 for this phone

* My iPhones and Gnex have never had a SD slot, Im in no hurry to have one now...

* I like the the slightly thinner AT&T optimus, and the way it looks.
[Nexus 4 General] kotaro_14:
1)If LG decides to unlock the bootloader. It won't be long after an AOSP/CM10 Rom comes out.

2) Yes, it's possible, it's been done on the VZW SGSIII.

Honestly, I'd say go for the N4 instead of the OG. Dev community will be more active, you don't have to tinker with unlocking the bootloader of the device, custom Android skins, and there's some other marks the OG misses out on like LED notification light. If you don't want AT&T 21mbps HSPA then go for TMO/Straighttalk prepaid and you'll get 42mbps HSPA+, it is very fast and the next best thing to LTE. No one even knows if LG will unlock the bootloader of the OG, they didn't unlock it for their 4X HD. Also, you will be the first one to get Android Updates.
[Nexus 4 General] doubleatheman:
Well, I think I am going to stick to the Nexus line. After watching some videos on the Nexus 4, it just seems like a superior product.

I like the freedom of no contract, and the option to swap from AT&T to Tmobile at will or any MVNO.

My area does not have LTE, so HSPA + 42 DC would be the fastest service available to me in the 2013-2014 time period (I expect LTE to mature in my area by then.) (My town was listed in an official Tmo press list for HSPA 42, so thats verified.)

My new questions:

1) Does straight talk support Tmobile HSPA+ 42 DC?

2) Does straight talk support unconditional call forwarding? (For google voice, if not how do I get around this to fully use google voice.)

Thanks!

(Trust me I tried googling, nowhere does it make it clear if Straight talk is HSPA+ 42 DC capable or not. Could not find many results. And most people talk about porting their number into google voice, which I will do If I must, but would rather put my current number directly on my phone.)
[Nexus 4 General] slicingtaco:
I am pretty darn sure that the LG Optimus G has an LED Notification light (around the power button) correct me if I am wrong.
[Nexus 4 General] comminus:
You are correct, sir. http://phandroid.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/att-lg-optimus-g-notification.jpg
[Nexus 4 General] Ajfink:
I think LG confirmed lock bootloaders for the AT&T version (at least), which is what soured the deal on that for me. I had the same thought - that ports would be very quick for the OpG since the N4 has such similar hardware, but the locked bootloader kills it.
[Nexus 4 General] mrvirginia:
BOTH LG OG's have notification lights... Sprint is on the front near the top and AT&T's is, as someone pointed out, around the power/wake button.
[Nexus 4 General] gbalerdi:
I think you are missing the 2100 band.

3G (850, 900, 1700, 1900, 2100 MHz)

HSPA+ 42Mbps

[Nexus 4 General] BoostedSR20:
I've been batting the same idea around for days, (N4 or AT&T LGOG) this chart and thread was pretty handy. I was considering the International version of the LGOG as well.

Thank you OP.
[Nexus 4 General] Ajfink:
I don't see a reason to go for the International LGOG over the N4. The US LGOG variants have LTE and the ATT version has a MicroSD card, which are important to some people, but otherwise...not so sure. Unless you just like the way it looks.
[Nexus 4 General] BoostedSR20:
This is pretty much what I arrived at. Other than the 13mp camera, no real reason for the international version. And from what I've seen on the camera comparisons, I could care less about the 13mp cam. My area doesn't have LTE, so I don't care about that. Only disappointment for me is no SD storage. But it's not a deal breaker. And the LED on the AT&T's model around the power button looks horrible.

Also I've been on the $10 unlimited data plan with international phones for awhile now.
[Nexus 4 General] gsrrr:
In response to kotaro, no google wallet on at&t. They are developing their own version of it.
[Nexus 4 General] Deggy:
Locked boot loader and LG's skin? No thanks even if it has LTE and an expandable memory.
[Nexus 4 General] biggredd:
One thing to consider is software support. I have the lg g2x and the hardware is fine but they suck at support and I will never buy another lg phone. However the nexus is supported by Google so you will get updates. I mean it has been almost a year since ICS came out and lg will not support my phone even though it has a tegra 2 in it.
[Nexus 4 General] slicingtaco:
Geez not only does that look kick ass but it is truly unique:D I like it.
[Nexus 4 General] jebise101:
since the phones are so similar we should be able to get a hacked AOSP version on the phone as soon as Google releases it. Then of course we will have AOKP/CM and although they do amazing work i prefer the pure Google experience mainly because AOKP/CM are always months behind google. I mean we still don't have a stable CM10 for any phones.

Using AOKP on my S3 and it's my daily but it has its bugs. I hope since the hardware is so similar we will be able to port the Nexus ROMS to the Optimus G rather easily.
[Nexus 4 General] Ajfink:
Be wary of this - it will have a locked bootloader. They may offer unlocking options, but I doubt it, and new roms may be flash able over top the original kernel, but it won't be completely open.
[Nexus 4 General] slicingtaco:
Guys I have a choice between the LG Nexus 4 and the Samsung Galaxy Note II. both at the same price point (or cheaper with my upgrade discount) I need some help choosing a phone. I don't know what to go with. The GNII will come with 16GB + SD Card, LTE :eek:& a sweet stylus (which I am not sure if I will use, maybe on rare occasions). Does anyone know if the AT&T GNII bootloader will come unlocked? How about developer attention. I have less than three weeks to decide. I was really leaning towards the AT&T LG Otimus G but was contacted by LG and told that the boot loader will indeed be locked:mad: + LG has some bad reputation for little to no support or customer service so with that the LG O-G will not be seeing JellyBean at all. Thanks for the input.
[Nexus 4 General] ctfrommn:
There is an entire thread on this here.....http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1962438
[Nexus 4 General] Snow_fox:
I'm on a family plan so a non-contract phone costing more is really a sour deal for me.

Aside from that, I really prefer to not be locked into 16gb for years.

getting the Optimus G to have an unlocked bootloader is basically the best possible situation for me.

If the Optimus G doesn't get an unlocked bootloader, I don't really have any decent options on At&t.
[Nexus 4 General] haloimplant:
I'm in exactly the same boat. Carriers up here will probably be launching the AT&T version because it has the right HSPA and LTE bands, and I'm eligible for an upgrade.

If there is an unlockable bootloader and enough community support to get the latest ROMs ported (the only change would be LTE modem and microSD support?) the Optimus G could be an attractive option.

Edit: forgot devs would also have to switch from on-screen to capacitive buttons, that could be a pain I guess
[Nexus 4 General] slicingtaco:
Just saw it after posting it. Thks.
[Nexus 4 General] ermacwins:
Excellent chart, you should add the phone dimensions. I was considering the AT&T Variant until I found it is wider than the other two including the SGS3.....
[Nexus 4 General] dbgeek:
I'm in the same boat. On a family plan that was renewed last month for my daughter's new iPhone 5 (wife and daughter will always have an iphone). I thought about the SGN2, but it's simply too big to carry around in a pants pocket. What hoping the US variant of HTC One X+ would come out in a reasonable time frame (right now, I classify it as an urban legend).

I'm not looking for customer ROMs but I do want to ensure that I get updates of the OS that come out for the device. LG has a HORRIBLE track record supporting its devices and AT&T has a history of dragging out releases, if they are willing to do a release at all, in cases where the OEM produces an OS upgrade.

At this point, if I was willing to pay $300 for an SGN2, I'm willing to pay $350 for the N4 16 GB.
[Nexus 4 General] slicingtaco:
Same here but think off all the extra specs you get with the GNII (on contract) compared to the LG Nexus 4 ($350) tough choices.*
[Nexus 4 General] Muffinman51432:
What are everyones thoughts on this debate after the LGOG came out? I'm torn between the two. Really comes down to camera personally. Photosphere sounds sick. LTE is a big deal as it is everywhere too.

Do I use my upgrade on this phone? Buy a nexus 4 unlocked and wait until next year to get another batch of phones? I love jelly bean on my nexus 7, however the layout on this phone looks nice as well. I try to keep things as stock as possible however will do what I need to do to be able to tether/use certain apps. (never tethered before I would love to be able to)

Really need to compare both camera's in person
[Nexus 4 General] BoostedSR20:
I decided on the AT&T LGOG Monday. Aside from some OS niggles, I'm really enjoying it so far. Faster data speeds (no LTE in my area) and the micro SD are nice. It even came with a better 16gb card then what I currently had. I'd have to agree with some, I think the design is better than the Nexus 4. It fits fine in my hand, works fine. I've already rooted and restored with Titanium, I'm getting settled in fast. Also the bootloader is very close to being taken care of.

If you head over to the AT&T section, you'll find a thread with sample photos taken. I've also added some sample videos.

Also wifi teather is working out of the box.
[Nexus 4 General] djkinetic:
Please link me to a post/thread that shows the locked bootloader is close to being taken care of, I looked in the ATT LG Optimus G forums and all I saw was a petition to unlock it....at 199 subsidized the Optimus G is nice but a locked and encrypted bootloader for me is a deal breaker, I've dealt with a phone that had an encrypted bootloader: Motorola Atrix 4g, it sucked waiting and hearing that Moto would offer a bootloader solution, they never did, it ended up being accidentally unlocked, they then issued an update which denied the use of SBFs....the only subsidized devices I will buy from now on are HTC and Samsung, Samsungs generally never come locked and HTC at least has a track record of unlocking devices.

The Nexus 4 albeit 8gb @ 299 is an unreal bargain for a sim unlocked device...me personally I'll take the 8 gb 299 no contract no hassles over the Optimus G, if I need more space theres always USB OTG. Personal preference of course, if you need the extra space and LTE then yes the carrier options are the way to go, but if your at all into loading custom roms the Nexus 4 is the way to go.
[Nexus 4 General] BoostedSR20:
Its in a large thread in the Korean LGOG section. I had a long discussion with someone about the pros/cons of the N4 vs the G. Here is the post where he mentioned the bootloader http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33702547&postcount=141

I've also seen it mentioned elsewhere.

Also keep in mind you don't get the FULL 8gb of storage. On the 16gb model, I think I had 11.8gb when I started.

I would have agreed with you before about the N4, but as long as the BL gets taken care of, I'm glad to have the micro SD, LTE, off screen buttons, and $150 cheaper price. I'm also not against on screen buttons, but not a huge fan either. With the G, you get off-screen capacitive buttons.
[Nexus 4 General] djkinetic:
If it does get unlocked then I'll probably use one of my upgrades on an Optimus G, but definitely not before. In regards to storage yes you dont get a full 8gb thats a given, but internal storage really only matters if you plan on playing lots of games, for picture taking 4gb is generally more then enough space before you have to move them to a hard drive, and again media concerns are solved via OTG although yes internal expandeable storage is more convenient, just depends on what the user wants.
[Nexus 4 General] BoostedSR20:
No I agree with you completely about the storage. To each his own. I wasn't *super* worried about having an SD slot, but it helps. I like to carry some music, a video or two, and add in photos, 1080p/720p videos, a couple games, Nandroid backups, ROM files.. etc and the 11gb gets used up pretty quick.
[Nexus 4 General] fakemail1uk:
Has anyone been concerned about the battery feedback about the N4. I was surprised to see the reviews were really poor when the battery on the LG OG is reviewed to be very good. Does anyone know if the battery is as poor as they say?

Also for me personally I am finding the soft key buttons on the N4 a put off, all that black space is wasted below the screen why not just use the space and put in some soft keys rather than wasting part of the screen. Just cannot understand that.

I actually also generally like the look of the LG OG over the N4 and the extra 16gb storage will go far, but the double price tag and the LG overlays are not impressing me. But I am thinking maybe there will be a clean JB rom soon enough if the bootloader is cracked.
[Nexus 4 General] Tomatoes8:
My battery life on the GS3 took a hit going from ICS to JB, so that is probably the reason why the Optimus G has better battery life. It was still more than good enough though. It just went from charge every two days to charge overnight. Never came close to turning power saver on.

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------

LG should have just made the Nexus 4 the international Optimus G with 4.2 though. That would have been sick and easy for both LG and Google. Although Google would want it to have their own identity.
[Nexus 4 General] fakemail1uk:
That doesnt sound too bad, I just about get a day on my GS2. You might be right about it being a JellyBean Issue as it seems that they all seem to have poor battery. If it werent for the use of soft keys I think I would have bought one no problems. Just cannot see the logic of using up the screen for buttons where you have space to put them already below it.
[Nexus 4 General] venturizhou:
I could see it as an additional cost cutting move.
[Nexus 4 General] qwertykal:
On screen buttons are actually more of a favorite for me, as they are more flexible and can rotate with the phone. They can also be hidden when not needed. In the pictures, I do believe they exaggerated the amount of space that is below the phone screen.
[Nexus 4 General] hpcolombia:
Just saw this deal from Amazon and Best Buy and now contemplating this as well.

Credit to Android Police for this:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...-and-sprint-99-for-new-accounts-and-upgrades/

I'm on sprint now and that versions has the extra 16 Gig plus the extra pixels on the camera. The other big plus is that it is available now vs having to wait.

The thing holding me back from pulling the trigger is the savings I was planning from going to Straight Talk.

My current sprint plan cost me $90/month including taxes and fees. With straight talk it should be under $50 per month including taxes and fees.

Everything Plus Plan - 500 Anytime Minutes Included	$59.99

Premium Data add-on charge	$10.00

Total Equipment Protection - $4 insurance premium & $4 service/repair	$8.00

Unlimited Messaging	$0.00

Sprint Surcharges	$5.99

Government Fees & Taxes	$5.81
[Nexus 4 General] klin1344:
Don't do it...;)
[Nexus 4 General] hpcolombia:
I did the math and because I want a new phone now I tried to help Sprint out by coming up with the scenario of losing my phone and using the insurance plan to replace it. Even then it is still not worth it financially. Google really set a price so low that pre-paid is the way to go even with the crazy deal that Amazon is proposing on a brand new phone. That might have been the biggest game changer of all from the new Nexus.
[Nexus 4 General] joshyy_rey:
After dealing with waiting for updates from AT&T for many phones, and lack of support because of missing drivers etc etc. I will always have a Nexus as one of my phones. After using my N4, ive never had a smoother experience on a phone, and knowing google is going to update it is awesome. The OG, might benefit from having the N4 as a sibling in the dev department, and not be this way, but from using my friends Gnex for a while on CM, it was worlds better than CM on my S3. i know it's not the Devs fault, they do the best they can with what code and drivers they get but CM,AOKP,AOSP etc are all better on a Nexus.
[Nexus 4 General] justFaisal:
Why do you think Optimus is scoring 7,000 compared to 4,000 of Nexus 4 in quadrant benchmark test? They both got the same HW!
