Hey guys, I hope you can help me out with this one. Before I begin I just have to say that I was on factory image from Google + root.

So I was downloading a torrent, and in the mean time I was streaming a movie from an app. Suddenly I couldn't do anything, the movie kept on playing but I couldn't push any buttons or anything. So I held down the power button for about 15-20 seconds and then it powered of, but it booted it self again, by it self. But it got stuck at Google logo, so I powered it off again, but it kept trying to rebooting. Always stuck at Google logo. Weird. So I booted into bootloader and connected it to my pc. I came up with the idea that if I wipes cache and dalvik it will maybe boot. So I booted it into cwm, went down to advanced-> dalvik cache, then it just showed me the cwm icon and the background. And I tried the same a multiple times. No luck. So I booted it into twrp, but it got stuck on their logo. So my only option was to flash factory image from Google again. So I tried. Erased boot, cache, system, recovery, userdata. And then I were about to flash the bootloader. Yeah, in my dreams. I got this:

C:\Android>fastboot flash bootloader C:\Android\bootloader-grouper-4.13.img

sending 'bootloader' (2096 KB)... FAILED (remote: (Unkown error code))

finished. total time: 0.021s

I tried it a couple of times, but no luck. So I came up with another idea, maybe the supidest of them all. Relock and then unlock the bootloader again! Yay. Worst ever. I locked it, which went fine, then I was going to unlock it again and got this:

C:\Android>fastboot oem unlock

... INFOerasing userdata...

INFOerasing userdata done

INFOerasing cache...

INFOerasing cache done

INFOunlocking...

FAILED (remote: (Unknown error code))

finished. total time: 3.980s

Awesome. How am I supposed to flash the factory image now? I've tried to unlock it many times, without luck. And I can't try to boot it either since the boot.img is erased and I can't flash a new one.

Can anyone help me? I'm crying over here! I would be so happy if someone could help me out with this.

Thank you so much.
[Nexus 7 General] gunz.jones:
Try a different cable or port first. Sounds like your solid state took a dump on that partition. Clean your charging port as well. Any of these may help. Does it show the charging animation when powered off? You can power all the way down through boot loader or battery pull (obvious).
[Nexus 7 General] tjackbjorn:
Ok, I will try it. I doubt cleaning the port will help, but I will try it :) No it doesn't shows the charging animation when it's powered off.

I'll do anything exept a battery pull ^^

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tom0779:
A notification popped up in CM10 alerting me that there was a nightly build update available (stable & evita). I decided to go ahead and run the thing to see if it worked/what the deal was and it followed normal process.. Booted into recovery, attempted flash, rebooted to a black screen.

It appears that it attempted to update and subsequently failed so I booted into recovery and flashed the cm10.0.0.zip myself. Fortunately nothing was lost or bricked and even my phone settings were all there when I booted back up again after (what appeared to be) a successful flash. Any knowledge of this? Seems pretty weird to me so I figured I would ask.

THanks

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mittortz:
Which One X do you have? I'm on the AT&T version and went through what you just said identically... however, after manually installing through recovery I'm still stuck in a boot loop/black screen. Unsure what to do at the moment. I don't know this stuff that well so I'm afraid to flash the build I had before without wiping (which I would really rather not do haha). I'd love to move to the stable version, although mine was pretty perfect as is. I just went ahead with the update for the hell of it, but that looks now like it was a mistake :( Any advice?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mittortz:
I figured out the issue. I forgot that with the 2.20 firmware you have to flash the boot.img separately from the ROM. So after the update all I had to do was flash the boot.img and it was all ready to go again :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flypelocho:
After a couple of days of using my Nexus 4 i've noticed a problem with the way it handles the transition between Wifi and 3G internet.

Usually it works just as expected, when I switch Wifi off (or just go out of wifi range) it automatically switches to 3G internet (coverage icon in blue). The problem is that sometimes, after switching wifi off, it doesn't turn on 3G data (coverage icon remains grey). The only way I can get 3G internet back is turning Airplane Mode on, and then off again. ¿Am I missing something here? I've seen other people having this problem with other phones, but no workaround yet
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haranbh:
This happens with my gf's Galaxy S3 too...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stryder5:
I think this is just a network coverage issue. My old mytouch 4g slide had the same problem. Usually it switches quickly if I'm in an area with great reception. If I'm somewhere with weak reception, it takes a little longer.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flypelocho:
Well, I don't think this is a network coverage problem because when this problem happens, it can stay for hours with no 3G internet, it just doesn't even try. But then I switch airplane mode on and then off again, and it achieves 3G data connectivity almost immediately. Also, with the same SIM card I didn't have this problem with an iPhone 3GS.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flypelocho:
Well, i've been investigating a little bit, and I've just found it in the AOSP issues tracker as "Android Issue #2207"

I've also found some apps like "3G Connection Fix Free" that seems to try to fix it

I'll try them and report back my findings
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taC nayN:
I think I have this problem too sometimes. I think my phone has other issues, I'm about to send it back to Google because it keeps dropping cell signals as well, but I definitely have this same problem.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ysihaoy:
Yes, it happened to me as well yesterday.

After I had more than ten hours at home using wifi, it can't switch to 3G automatically when I left home. The only way I did is reboot the phone.

But if I just connected to wifi for few hours it is OK.

Before I use One X, I don't have this problem before, but the problem is I can't access to internet once I am using wifi for more than 36 hours about.

I think there is big problem for Android system related to wifi and 3G access.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellenrules:
I don't think it's a nexus issue at all. It is definitely something else. My phone hands over form wifi to H+ in a matter of seconds every-time.

I believe you might have a coverage issue.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skywarp82:
I am having the same issue, and can confirm it is NOT related to coverage. A reboot of the phone will immediately fix the problem. Have also tried disabling the mobile network, then re-enabling it, with no success.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flypelocho:
Well, nothing i've tried has worked so far. It looks like if it stays connected to Wifi for many hours (for example overnight), it just won't switch to mobile internet unitl I reboot or do the airplane mode trick. I also have wiped everything and reinstalled the stock rom, but the problem is still there. Has anybody fixed it?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anudu:
Had this problem with my Nexus One, with my Transformer 300 and now with my Nexus 4.

I use German provider O2 and after doing some research, many people suffer this problem and have O2. I thought it was related to my SIM card and I ordered a new one without success. My wife has O2, too. She never had a problem, not with her HTC Desire, not with her Galaxy Nexus.

I worked around with free app WifiFixer Free, which connects to 3G every 60 minutes. This doesn't seem to work on Jelly Bean, though.

The problem is all but new and I am out of ideas. I now use an app that enters and leaves airplane mode upon leaving a Wi-Fi network. But it yet has to prove that it works...

Hi everyone

I tried putting some new mp3's on my phone earlier. Other ones work ok. These new ones are a garbled mess like theres all sorts of reverb on them when playing from the phone speaker. On headphones they sound perfectly fine. I tried them with Google Play Music and with Doubletwist.

I tried re-encoding with Audacity but it hasnt made a difference :/ They are still garbled with the phone speaker but fine with headphones :/

Any ideas on this?

I made a huge mistake after refreshing the order page all night and placing my order first thing. I new it was too easy to be true. I put a P.O. box as my address, my order was canceled and I wasnt able to get another one with the huge mess that the play store was once everyone started to crash the site. I have been emailing a couple of reps trying to get them to let me know when new stock is available. They said they will keep my email and let me know as soon as they do. I dont really trust them though. So lets all keep each other informed here if we are still waiting to order our nexus 4. Thanks. Ill update this post as soon as I hear something. I am in the US but if any other country hears anything first letting us know would give us a heads up also. Thanks

On T-Mo, stock with root and the phone keeps jumping from 3G to HSPA. Speed tests are reflecting the same also. It's not happening every few minutes, but every couple of seconds. I'm in an area with HSPA and my S3 never switched over to 3G at all.

Anyone else noticing the same thing? I imagine this is going to kill my battery.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] contagous:
Mine seems to do this but tbh more it stays on 3G until i use it, then it switched to HSPA+ and give's me the speed i want :) to be honest i think this might save battery...

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FISKER_Q:
That is intentional, it disables HSPA when it is no longer necessary. (i.e. when not downloading anything)

I haven't once seen my phone show 3G. It shows HSPA when it's not downloading anything, and HSPA+ when it's uploading/downloading. I've seen it go to EDGE for a few seconds underground in a concrete building, but it soon switched back to HSPA.

Tap as fast as you can on the correct squares!

Think you're the fastest? Do you think you're better than your friends?

Well, prove it!! 100 Taps is a free game that will challenge your playing skills.

Tap as fast as possible on the color matching the next square. You will need to fight against the time to remove all the 100 squares from the stack.

It's just matter of concentration and thumbs speed.

It's not just this... Challenge your record with the rest of the world and if you connect with Facebook you'll be able to see your friend's records too. Beat them and they'll instantly know it.​

Thanks.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] amrando:
Hi all-

Does anyone know of a workaround for the OS-based restriction on tethering in the E970 stock firmware? I realize it will take a 3rd-party ROM release to fully remove this, which of course depends on an unlocked bootloader.. but in the meantime, is there anything that can be done? Any Play Store app that will bypass this problem?

Or if I call AT&T technical support and point out to them I have an unlocked, non-contract phone and I'm not even an AT&T user.. nor do I even live in the United States, will they provide some sort of unlock? :silly:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] brownsmell:
I have the Rogers e971 which is very very similar. I am able to tether just fine with the phone using an alternative carrier. Can you list the "restrictions" so we know what you are talking about.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] amrando:
Here you go. I have my Wifi hotspot configured exactly the same as my previous phone, but when I attempt to enable it I get this very helpful message..

I'm told by US friends that this is a restriction on AT&T Android phones, unless you pay AT&T a $10/mo. tethering fee to allow you to use your own data plan as you wish. :P So as far as I can tell, it's integrated at the firmware level? But I have no way to remove it yet, and I'm not even an AT&T customer. I assume the phone is attempting to verify whether I have 'tethering enabled' on my account.. which of course doesn't exist.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] fmllc:
On my S3 there is a" tethering provision" you could disable using TB....nothing of the sort on the LGOG from what I can see.....hopefully someone will figure it out....

You can try FoxFi from the Play Store, or WiFi Tether from someone here on XDA, I believe is where I got it. WiFi Tether wasn't working on my SG2 after the ICS update, but FoxFi did. Now FoxFi won't work on my OG, but WiFi Tether does. :shrug:

*bump*

Anyone found anything yet?

I know you could just replace the wifi drivers,because apparently that is what was done in the snow jellybean rom, but i dont have the know how to do this.

I would use the snow jb rom, but my signal gets all screwy, and my data speeds slow down drastically. May be just that im on straight talk. Anyways, i would hate to have to convert to nexus, just for wifi tether :/
[AT&T LG Optimus G] [r.]GimP:
I've tethered if needed on every rom with zero issue, but never tried snow's JB :D

I think you'll have much success with the options to flash lately, and to be honest there is a way in one of the databases that also bypasses/enables the tethering in stock roms but for the life of me, I can't remember where I saw that one. The wifi drivers are in the ... sec lemme check..

system\vendor\firmware\wlan\prima\WCNSS_cfg.dat

and system/etc/wifi/ which has WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini and WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin

but I'm not 100% if thats the location on stock rom :) either way, running a backup and dropping the files in there might be all you need if its really just the drivers, or you could just search for these files in snow's rom, which im assuming you have since you tried it, and then just replacing those in your rom.

Mind the permissions that are currently set, using whatever root file explorer your choice is, i.e. with ES File explorer, long press on the file, it will get a check mark on the right side, then on the bottom right click "more" and select properties.

for all files the permissions are -rw-r-r which you'll see in the screenshots and owner/group both root (scroll to the top when setting them, its the first entry)

View attachment 2265873

View attachment 2265874

View attachment 2265875

pic 1 the properties view, pic 2 is what it looks like when setting permissions, just mirror the check marks, pic three is the system\vendor\firmware\wlan\prima\WCNSS_cfg.dat file, same permissions for it, also notice the two other files with it, they are just links from the system/etc/wifi folder, they are not actually there. I hope this helps you test your theory out, it should be very painless. and like I said, if the files are in slightly different folders, just adjust fire and mirror the locations accordingly.

good luck and please let me know if it really is just the wifi drivers that at&t screwed with, thats good info for future reference.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jdock:
There are a couple other threads on this that detail specific methods. Since you're not an at&t customer you shouldn't be bound by their restriction!

If you want to use the built-in tethering functionality, you can change a key in the settings.db (something like tether_entitlement_check) using an sql editor. First time I tried editing that db, I trashed it because aSQLitemanager truncated the 91k db file to something like 80k, then I managed to overwrite the good backup with the truncated file also, and I had to do a factory reset. So be careful if you do this, edit a backup copy of the db first and copy it in place, and make an extra copy of the good one. I can't find where I originally read about this but it's similar for all of the at&t phones. I found a command-line sql editor that worked better for me in the end, btw.

wifi tether for root users works too - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39411328&postcount=13. I liked that it displayed a live traffic count (the built-in tethering data usage can be seen in the built-in data usage meter on the phone but it's not the same) but that stopped working with the JB update. And I sometimes had to reboot after using it before I could turn wifi back on.

What I usually really want to do is not really tethering - I want my phone connected to my wifi network which also has wired devices, and I want those devices to be able to route traffic through the phone. I wrote a script to connect the phone as a wifi client while mobile data is enabled, then setup the iptables rules to do the necessary NAT, and then I just have to change my wired devices' default gateway to point to my phone's wifi ip address (statically assigned in my router), OR just run a socks proxy on my phone and socksify as necessary on the computer.

Going to flash it over later today, and see what happens.

The attached, are what is inside the rom now.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] cr4zy5pacec0w80y:
I flashed the rom with the drivers swapped out, and everythinf worked fine, but still cant tether, i have tried the wifi tether app, foxfi, and the built in tethering, but nothing worked. I guess the next step is to try and edit that file.
