You don't need to relock bootloader to flash the original ftf. Just try again flashing the firmware ftf. But be sure it is the right one for your device.

If it still doesn't work, check the option "no final verification" when you select the firmware. But be sure it's the right one for your device, or your phone will completely brick!!

Hi, mihahn......

I tried almost many ftf firmwares, all things shows "ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";E RR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"

What can i do, if the phone is bricked like this....

Now, i tried to flash very old firmware, then the flash tool like this

Umm, that error only occurs with the final data verification check turned on. But, in your case that's a preety peculiar bug. Sorry.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] venkiaries61:
hi mihahn and prime_225...

Dudes, my problem is solved now.....I flash successfully....

The main problem is, my 16gb dead while installing custom rom.... so , every thing collapsed, got panic..

I observe that, official sd cards(free 2gb) doesn't show in clock work mode....Now, i got spare of 2gb and installed octane successfully...

Thank you guys....

Hey guys, needing some help. Was rooting a friends phone and have been unable to boot up properly. Have been following http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300.

Currently have su and adb working properly, unable to factory reset or wipe to stock rom to run Revolutionary. Revolutionary does not work in recovery or hboot mode, is there any way around this?

The phone is UNLOCKED with S-ON

Not interested, unless absolutely necessary, in Juopunutbear S-OFF method, never done this and I would first do it on my own personal phone.

Thanks all for any help
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
What is the h boot version? Revolutionary only works with certain h boot versions. This is why others have to use the wire trick to S off. Because it's the only other way if revolutionary is not supportive of your h boot version. To find the H boot version, pull battery put back in, press volume down and power at the same time then read at the top will be the h boot version. Then post and you can find out if it's supported by revolutionary or not. Hope this helps.
[HTC Sensation] omgdwong:
Using hboot 1.18, is there no possible workaround to flash a custom rom while keeping s-on?

I'm assuming the steps will need to be as followed, s-off, supercid, flash rom?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

It may be that you have the wrong software version to use revolutionary.

If you can enter this in fastboot:

fastboot getvar all

(not imei or serial number)

Post back here.

The order of things is as you say,but you may need to flash a new firmware,depending on which ROM you want to install.

Hi, as title says, just wondering if it's safe to use S3's 1amp charger on Note 2? Will it cause any damage in the long run?

Thank you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ionic7:
i would only use the one that comes with it, any other charger may damage the flux capacitor and leave you stuck in 1955, then you have to worry about getting a strong storm on the clock tower, just to get back!

Really though any charger will work your good to go

[Windows Phone 8 General] tfouto:
Is it possible to put anything on the phone? Any format only to use the phone as "pen drive" to transfer files, or the files you can copy to phone are restricted? Can you create folders?

[LG Optimus 2x] ilooze:
Why Asphalt 7 and Need For Speed Most Wanted's graphics are minimal? no blur no reflection....nothing...why? I'm reading the comments on market and averibody says that the game grate graphics but on my tegra 2 phone (optimus 2x) nothing special....these games are not optimized for tegra 2 powered devices or what?
[LG Optimus 2x] FailWhale20:
As much as I hate to say this about our phone, the Optimus 2X among the dual cores holds one of the weakest graphics processors.

Sure, when it first came out it was a beast of a phone both in terms of CPU and GPU. However, once other brands caught up in the battle, it was quite clear that Tegra 2 was the least proficient in graphics.

Funny how you'd expect a company like Nvidia that specialises in GPU units to make the best GPUs in any area, especially smartphones. However, even Tegra 3, while still powerful in its own right, is still vastly overshadowed by the GPUs on the other quad core devices.

You probably see "Tegra optimised" because of Nvidia's marketing attempts to compensate for their weak processors. It's becoming increasingly common knowledge that in smartphones, Nvidia have been useless in upholding their reputation built from computer GPUs.
[LG Optimus 2x] petr.klos:
NEON instruction set missing. Simple as that.
[LG Optimus 2x] Nootubo:
The optimus 2x has a good gpu

new cm10 nightly Nenamark 2 = 44 fps with new gpu Driver no oc and old and the prime has 47fps is not bad

and other games like death Trigger runs on tegra 3 setings fluid

and the games are not full suport the tegra gpu well
[LG Optimus 2x] ilooze:
yes that is weird why dead trigger and shadowgun can run at high details? and those other games not?
[LG Optimus 2x] kaspar737:
Oh god what an utter utter facepalm...

NEON has NOTHING to do with graphics. Lack of NEON is why our phone can't play high-profile 1080p not the reason of bad graphics.
[LG Optimus 2x] ilooze:
what new gpu drivers are you using? do you installed chainfire?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rayman96:
The thing is that games are often optimized for PowerVR sgx (as ported from Iphone) and adreno and mali.

Tegra2 has minimal part is whole graphic cards so why dev has to waste time for such ****ty gpu?
[LG Optimus 2x] petr.klos:
Well... well... not really.

What an utter overreaction :) Truth is that NEON handles AV decoding encoding and linking it to a frames. So yes, in fact it has an impact.

Overreaction cause mostly it is because in settings T2/P990 is recognized as low-end device.
[LG Optimus 2x] kaspar737:
Please, explain to me how something that decodes audio and video files helps in games?
[LG Optimus 2x] seriousia:
Nvidia creates one of the best lp gpu,even mali in s2 no compition for o2x gpu, but the real fact is the t2 is kicked by its own creator, to priortised t3 or next tegra version ,lg under repute its previou gen phone due to thr lame developer and nvidia support.

In return other phones+new phone roll out and here we are whinning and criticizing our gpu:thumbdown:
[LG Optimus 2x] ullekh99:
is there a way to improve the graphics in asphalt7 n nfs most wanted??? has anyone tried chainfire3d??

rom-cm10
[LG Optimus 2x] ilooze:
I tried but it doesn't let me to install it.....in cmw i get an error and if i install the drivers normally the phone wont boot up....so make a backup first
[LG Optimus 2x] kaspar737:
No, GS2 GPU is faster. The Tegra GPUs are actually a pain in the ass to code for if nVidia doesn't offer support. Devs have to split graphics processing onto 8 or 12 cores. The situation is quite similar with PS3 CPU, where devs also have to split graphics processing onto 7 different cores.
[LG Optimus 2x] grimmyrippy:
Gameloft doesn't make this game available on tegra 2 i mean their's no proper game files specifically for tegra 2 only unlike in adreno, mali and other gpu beside tegra they provide separate files for those gpu's so if you want to play great games on your o2x please first search on google for tegra 2 sd files of the game you want like bard's tale there is a specific file for our gpu and as expected its size is incredibly big 3gb

Our gpu is powerful if nvidia let the developers play with their codes i think users not only praise the developer but they praise for nvidia also for this creation in my own opinion
[LG Optimus 2x] kaspar737:
I agree with you, with good optimization great results can be achieved on Tegra GPUs. Its like on the PS3. When devs are money hungry they make crappy ports but when a dev invests time and money awesome games can be made (for example, Uncharted and The Last of Us)
[LG Optimus 2x] CHAD69:
I"m confused by Electronic Arts.

I have an old single-core Motorola Defy + and on it that other racing game Fast5 from Gameloft runs superfluid with real-time reflections.

Now why in the hell does EA opt to choose for minimal graphics on my and other phones.

Imho it"S better to have an adjustible slider to have settings from low to max graphics on the new need for Speed on Android.

The same with Riptide by Vektor Unit.

Let people choose for themselfs dammit.
[LG Optimus 2x] cheveux_:
hey guys!

Did you tried out "Dead Trigger" from the Tegrazone website?

Just instal it (free!), go to options and put graphic quality to max and BE AMAZED!
[LG Optimus 2x] ullekh99:
why from tegrazone website.. u can download it from play store for free...

btw sorry for offtopic but does tegrazone app work for u'll...it used to work for me wen i bought my phone... but has not been working since almost a yr..says no network?? had forgotten about it but now remembered coz of mention of tegrazone website:P
[LG Optimus 2x] ilooze:
yes! that is why I am angry about this phone.....dead trigger and shadowgun have quality settings....and the o2x can handle it...so the developers of EA or GLU or Gameloft why they dont make games look excelent on our phone?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] CrazyTurk42:
Hey guys i bought a HTC explorer for my mom. But she likes her phone in turkish language instead of dutch. Is it possible to flash a zip file or something.

Btw I know you could flash a costum rom but i would like to keep stock rom if possible. She likes the sense theme
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] xpmode:
Stock should have Turkish language.

If it doesn't, then I'm afraid your only choice is to use an AOSP-built ROM like CyanogenMod or AOKP, or wait for a stable Sense 4/4.1.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bowenac:
I was going to update to latest AOKP, I selected reboot to recovery, phone turned off and never turned back on. I can't get into recovery mode either this is very odd any ideas?

This is very strange because this should not cause a hard brick... when I selected reboot to recovery it seemed like it froze for a second, but though it was just in the middle of restarting, then it just shut off. Why would that cause this, only thing I can think is maybe my battery drained... I have it hooked up to a charger right now. But like I said I can't get the phone to do anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] napacastro:
Same thing happened to me with Galaxy Note from AT&T, I've been looking in several forums about this, but since the phone is not even charging the battery or booting, I'm loosing hope.

[LG Optimus 2x] pankie91:
I installed a rom called Eaglesblood from ROM Manager.

When it was all installed, the phone just loops and won't start. The only thing that is showing is the Eaglesblood logo. I tried to boot ROM Manager, but it wont start since the LG logo is not showing.

Is there anything I can do?

One more thing, I tried to connect it to the computer and it is charing, but it does not show as any device on the computer though.
[LG Optimus 2x] Itaka06:
You must wipe your phone before installing a new rom, otherwise you can get bootloops, try it good luck
[LG Optimus 2x] pankie91:
How do I wipe the phone?
[LG Optimus 2x] ronalith:
search around, there's a few very good guides on this and other forums.
[LG Optimus 2x] Itaka06:
You must reboot in cwm and there you can wipe the phone... in option advanced are mire wipe option, best way to install a custom rom is making a fullwipe.. whatch in xda there are many guides for this.
[LG Optimus 2x] pankie91:
I tried to access the CWM by holding the Power and -Vol on the phone. The phone just boot up and doesn't even go into the cwm. The Eaglesblood logo just repeats all over.

I can take pictures if you like, if it is easier to understand.

Is there anyway to access the phone by USB? I can't even find it on the PC when I plug it in, it just charges itself :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 2x] Neefy:
Hold down the buttons longer
[LG Optimus 2x] pankie91:
I gave this a try before, in like 10 minutes. It doesn't do anything, just the EaglesBlood logo is flashing in a loop.
[LG Optimus 2x] Itaka06:
Hold down the volume down key and the power button, this have to work..

Sry dont see that you tryed this already, try to recovery with nvflash
[LG Optimus 2x] coolprateek.kumar:
Try volume key up

[LG Optimus 2x] BlackDragonPL:
If you are unable to recover your phone you can always use NVflash. It will flash one of the first Froyo versions on your phone. Then you can root it, install ClockworkMod and install any ROM you like.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1007825

It's low level flashing so use it only when there is no other option.
[LG Optimus 2x] pankie91:
Done this a few times, isn't there any other way to wipe the phone?

Tried this, with the power on. Nothing happens, just the continuous loop.
[LG Optimus 2x] pankie91:
Thanks! But I still have an error trying to connect my phone to the computer. The USB is charing the phone, but the computer won't recognize the device. It doesn't even popup anything.

I have windows 8 on my desktop, and I tried to plug it in the laptop aswell, but it doesn't do anything. And yes, I have the LG drivers installed already. :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 2x] Itaka06:
If you remove battery and you push vol down key and power button and you connect to usb then you get into recovery mode?
[LG Optimus 2x] pankie91:
No, it doesn't. The LG logo is just flashing then it turns black and repeats itself like that.

However, i tried only to hold down the vol-down button and plugged the USB in and then it starts something saying:

"S/W Upgrade please wait while upgrading..." but it does not show up on the PC as if it was connected.
[LG Optimus 2x] Itaka06:
Yes, so try to reflash cwm.. look at the guids in the section android development..

Pankie91, try it again!

remove battery, plug USB and press Power + VOL- ...IT WORKS!

It solves to me the same problem just a few minutes ago!

EDIT: After that, unplug USB, plug battery and reboot normally.

If still plugged via USB, there will be a logo loop
[LG Optimus 2x] calebjhamby:
Let me guess, you flashed CWM with Rom manager? That would explain why you can't cold boot into recovery.

[LG Optimus 2x] pankie91:
Oh thanks, I got the ISO for my phone now though.. But the problem still exist. The PC doesn't recognize or say anything about any new device connected as i plug the USB on my PC, I've tried different USB slots and doesn't do anything, I think that's why SmartFlashTool won't help me to wipe the phone.

Check this picture below.

The problem still exist and just makes the Eaglesblood logo flash in loops for hours, doesn't work out.

I don't remember exacly how I flashed the phone, but I think that's correct, sir. Any ideas on what I should do here? I think I can fix this, if only the PC could recognize the phone as I connect it via the USB.

Should I try different OS? I've tried out Windows 8 and 7. I could boot Ubuntu and try it from there too..
[LG Optimus 2x] Itaka06:
I don't understand you said you can get in s/w mode. For flashing the stockrom you need this s/w mode or does your pc recognize the phone plugged in via s/w mode?

When you plug in the phone, does in windows rung that you plugged in a phone? When yes, try to look if your lg is connectet when you press rightclick on computer and then manage... sry for my english i dont know how to say in englisch because i have a german os
[LG Optimus 2x] aldyu:
I think Smartflash wont work for you now, you should do NVFlash instead.. Hold the 2 volume buttons then connect the usb cable to pc, apx driver installation confirmation should popup a warning, install it anyway using the drivers provided in the nvflash package. Then run the flash.bat in command prompt.
[LG Optimus 2x] pankie91:
Thing is that the PC doesn't even know that the phone is connected, but the phone is charging. I can get into s/w mode with the phone, but still the PC doesn't even show up that I've connected any device.

I tried to hold both of the volume buttons down, followed the NVFlash guide and there is no APX driver popping up on Windows. I checked Device Manager for any changes or any new devices and there is nothing new there.:rolleyes:

So I recently been running KT747 kernel on my GS3 with AOKP JB M1. Battery life is ok (all settings default except for I/O=noop, Governor = Ktoonservative). I found out that the T-Mobile GS3 LeanKernel also works on this. Has anyone tried it? Is it good? Heard most people get good battery on it, but then again it varies from user to user.

Edit---*

Tested out a few different settings. I under volted using the mv's listed in the original KT747 thread... phone rebooted constantly, guess my phone can't go volt down too much :(. I'm going to run deadline + ktoonservative for a day and see if it's any better.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
In all reality no one can answer this for you. If you think about it, we all have different settings, different apps on our device, we live in different locations, and we all use our phones differently. So one guy could say he gets awesome battery life on ktoonsez's kernel while the next guy says it sucks. That's just the name of the game. All devices are not created equally especially in realm of the kernel world. There are just too many variables. So asking this unfortunately will not get you any closer to your answer. You just gotta take a few minutes to try them out for yourself to figure out which works best for your device. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DarthDerron:
Do you know the difference between Ktoonservative and Conservative Governor?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
I definitely do. You should also. You just need to take a little time and go through the OP of the kernel thread. All the information you need/want is right there. look here dude
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GuestK00450:
I've tried a few kernels and I always go back to the CM10 kernel it gives me by far the best battery life out of every kernel out there that I have tried.

Even with the SGS2 i9100, CM9 kernel was always my favorite, just because of how superior the battery life was.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DarthDerron:
Thanks so much, didn't read his Extras post. I also looked up what each governor does earlier, and realized that there was also Ktoonservative which wasn't on the list I was reading. Thanks for the answer :) You're one of the nicest and most helpful dev's out there task.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DarthDerron:
I found CM10 kernel's battery life to be a hit and a miss. Some days it would be good, others would be bad. KT747 has been more consistent for me :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dankest:
Battery life is only OK on kt747 because your running noop and ktoonservative. I'm running deadline and abyss and getting great results. If you would like these settings let me know, these screenshots will say it all:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Definitely not true. Those settings are good for your device. It doesn't mean it will be good for him. Every single device reacts differently to different settings. I've gotten horrible results with those settings if that says anything. That's the thing about this device and kernels. They all take well or worse to different governors, schedulers, voltages, etc... ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dankest:
That's an interesting post to mull over. One would think because Samsung rolls out the same Chips with the us version that you would get roughly the same results, I had heard about the voltage differing (because of the silicon thickness). but not about phones reacting differently to schedulers and governors. This will require more looking into! I do enjoy a good read. Thanks for correcting me, I do like to get the facts straight before helping others.

But putting user use aside(what you do on your phone), if your phone was 100%-0% idle you should expect the same (roughly) result when using the same govs& schedulers as someone else with the same phone correct?

Yep. It kinda sucks that they differ so much between devices. It varies so much that some people can't even use ktoonsez's kernel at all. Some of those that couldn't use his kernel in particular returned their device for a replacement and then were able to use it with their replacement. Its pretty unfortunate in my opinion.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dankest:
Yes I've heard a few people saying the exact same thing, its unfortunate that you think your buying a quality device when in fact were buying a hunk of metal and plastic. Guess I just drew the long straw when it comes to luck.
