Someone please give a link for the three .zip flashable OTA updates from a different download server. I can't seem to download anything from Mediafire. PLEASE:what::(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kidstechno:
I have a bumper case on my Evo but that didn't stop a little foot drop onto the floor and I found what seems to be an LCD screen bleed/crack on the top right about an inch and a half. It's noticeable but not that bad in terms of being able to see the majority of the screen.

Now I've usually taken immaculate care of my phones, but was wondering what my options are regarding Sprint repair/warranty. I don't have TEP, and have never used them for repair work.

1) What would I encounter taking it into the store for repair. Do they offer repair if I send it in, if so, what would they typically charge?

2) Would it be worth it to buy another screen off a parts store and do repairwork myself?

Any tips/tricks/experiences/advice?

Hi,

Can original stock O3D enter Fastboot mode?

I have been asking this question here and there, and I still have not got an answer yet. I got a totally unmodified O3D and I want to issue the fastboot commands. My idea is, use the command "fastboot boot boot.img" to load a custom recovery on PC to boot up the phone, thus we can backup both the original rom and also the stock recovery (and probably the bootloader also). If this idea works, it will benefit many users.

Thanks for every input!

[LG Optimus 3D] berni987654321:
it is possible but there are alreadz backups of stock gb bootloader in mz post downgrade the undowngradable phones there is a link to a zip which contains the first 4 partitions on the o3d (the bootloader too).

P.S all original LG KDZ firmware files are with the stock rom(system partition) and the stock recovery.

P.P.S There are tools to konvert the kdz files into a bin file which can be extracted with another tool
[LG Optimus 3D] midnite_:
May I ask how to?

I think you should mean this of your thread and the bootloaderstuff.rar. The 4 partitions should be:

x-loader - mmcblk0p1

nv1 - mmcblk0p2

nv3 - mmcblk0p3

u-boot - mmcblk0p4

As far as I studied, I know in our Androids there are the bootloader, recovery, and the rom (OS). Am I got it incorrectly? Or would you please give a brief explanation about those 4 partitions?

That is another question that I want to ask. What is actually in those KDZ files? Does it contains everything stock, so flashing the KDZ will let us return 100% stock? Or just rom + recovery, so the bootloader (and might be something else) is missing?

Thanks again!

[LG Optimus 3D] alphatia:
Kdz have bin/fls which are system and base and including stock recovery and yes flashing a kdz or bin will make your device 100 % new
[LG Optimus 3D] berni987654321:
With wkparks omap tool you can go into fast boot mode. The most kdz files are containing boot partition recovery partition recovery partition and a few not interesting partitions. But there is one kdz file for the su760 which is the Korean version of the p920 which also contains the bootloader.
[LG Optimus 3D] midnite_:
thanks alphatia for confirming that flashing KDZ will make our phone 100% stock.

thanks berni for helping me so much so far.

I have just followed these steps and finally successfully boot into fastboot mode - I could issue the fastboot commands without any problems. That guide is actually based on wkpart's thread (more detailed though) so I really dont know why I was failing for thousands times beforehand ... Anyway, I am there finally :)

So we could continue with the story - try loading a custom recovery from PC and backup everything stock. I will work on it a while later. I will definitely write up a guide if I have succeeded on it!!

cheers,

For all the hype behind that nokia camera!! i found it was TERRIBLE!!! my gf's HTC One X takes amazing pics compared to this Nokia 920!
[Nokia Lumia 920] gilesjuk:
The One X is featured in this test and doesn't fare as well as the 920 does.

http://allaboutwindowsphone.com/features/item/16087_PureView_shootout_Nokia_808_vs.php

Don't blame your camera for poor results, a camera is only as good as the person using it. If a good camera could create brilliant photographs in the hands of anyone then photographers wouldn't be in a job. Good light, subject matter, thoughts on framing and angles make good pictures, the camera is just there to record the result.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Puff1911:
lol this entire thread is based on the 920 camera being balls :)

that said.. 920 point and click.. One X point and click.. One X wins..
[Nokia Lumia 920] dc/dc:
I can say with surety that after the update the camera is MUCH better.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Puff1911:
thanks! makes me feel a lot better knowing that there is hope! :)
[Nokia Lumia 920] gilesjuk:
I realise that. But photography is my hobby and if the 920 is guilty of anything it is having output that isn't extensively post processed. If you look at what the iPhone outputs it is photos that are sharpened and have increased contrast. If it saved what was captured at the sensor it would be very dull.

So with the 920 fix they've either reduced noise reduction which shouldn't have been applied in daylight or applied more post processing.

One X can't beat the 920 at video, especially concert footage, the sound of the 920 is much better, no distortion.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Puff1911:
Fair enough.. I haven't done any video with the 920.. so I have no comments on that.

I've noticed some slight improvement in the sharpness of the photos, but it's still nowhere as sharp as the photos taken with my Samsung Infuse, which is a horrible let-down.
[Nokia Lumia 920] rancorbeast:
a possible explanation

It's been suggested that maybe only the AT&T firmware carries the camera fix. That would explain why some folks swear their camera is fixed and others don't see the difference. I have a Rogers Lumia 920 and the camera is as awful as it was the first day I got it. The new firmware did nothing.

So for those who did see an improvement, can you confirm what model of Lumia 920 you have? Firmware number, revision number, batch number and all that so we can confirm apples to apples.

Thanks!
[Nokia Lumia 920] Puff1911:
I have the AT&T version.. and I haven't been impressed by the camera. Even after the update.. I can see a minor difference.. but I still can't say it's all that great.

I have selected a number of artists as 'on device music' and the download process has completed. I can verify that the music is available when the device is not connected to data, but I cannot find the files anywhere on the device.

Installed JB OTA a day or two ago - since then I've been getting odd errors that display on the screen. Looks almost like adware or something. I have add-ons detector - it's not showing anything. I can't think of any new apps I've installed. When typing text messages using SWYPE in Handcent I got a weird error yesterday, something along the lines of please wait while we get the application ready for you to use (this appeared mid swype) no button to acknowledge or perform any action. About ten seconds later message disappeared and everything seemed normal. I didn't think much of it but it seemed a little like an adware type thing - never seen anything like that on android (complete with spinning circle to indicate "loading/working".) Today, I pull my phone out of my pocket and there's an error displayed - red triangle with a white exclamation point in it, error 1002. There was a close button - I tried to palm swipe to screen capture which unfortunately just clicked the close option. Anyone seen anything like this? It doesn't look like anything native Android. Just a little concerned that I've got something going on virus/adwise. Any feedback or suggestions greatly appreciated. All stock except I was rooted prior to OTA - I'm assuming I've lost root at this point but I haven't bothered to investigate or tried to re-root or anything as of yet. Ideas? Thanks in advance!

I think that's the verizon login service or similar. I've seen it popup randomly as well. Mostly when device out of range or all data off. If you're getting with data on try going to my verizon app and make sure you can logon ok and should go away for the most part. Just more bloatware fun I think. :)

Yeah I think you're right. I have poor reception in my office and I just got two more - error codes 1001 and 1002 both with an 800 number that connects to Verizon so I guess they're legit but annoying. I guess it's time for some tweaking.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] SpaceToast7:
So I, being the smooth and coordinated individual that I am, managed to drop my shiny new phone on it's face and break it in less than 24 hours after getting it. The screen underneath remains in perfect condition, so my question is this: Do I need to get an entire screen digitizer and glass assembly like this or this, or can I save $50 and just get this or this?

As long as I spend less than the $150 deductible I do not regret not getting a warranty. Thanks.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sheek360:
If touch recognition isn't an issue and your screens colors aren't bleeding you just need the glass
[Sprint LG Optimus G] SpaceToast7:
Thanks, that's good to hear. Now I just need to decide whether I'm brave enough to do it myself. I probably am not since there don't seem to be any repair guides, teardowns, or anything out there yet.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] rsjc741:
You can do it yourself, but the battery isn't removable. So you run the risk of it over heating when using a blow dryer or heat gun.

When my friend and I replaced a cracked digitizer and screen, we used a industrial heat solder gun. 1500°F was the max.

If you do it through a company, or a private party, $150 might look a lot more appealing for the warranty.

Sent from my LG Optimus Prime G
[Sprint LG Optimus G] SpaceToast7:
It's actually necessary to pull out the battery to get to the screen?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] rsjc741:
Sometimes. You can usually remove the digitizer without pulling anything out, but most the time the LCD screen is pretty far in the screen and can require you pull some stuff out.

I'm not a master on these things, so I'd recommend looking up videos on newer model phones having their screen replaced.

Should give you a generic idea.

I will be doing a complete disassembly guide probably around the 1st along with a guide on replacing the digitizer and the LCD display, waiting on my new phone repair kit to come in and go figure i had to order it around christmas lol so if you can wait it will be a comprehensive guide, just a warning though it is a more difficult phone to teardown seeing as the digitizer is a) fused to the LCD and b) fused to the body.

When i did a disassembly on the nexus 4 same "non removable" battery was held in by two screws, i'm suspecting that will be the case with this seeing as the nexus4 is one of the sister phones of the LGOG

Regarding screen replacement

If I'm not mistaken, which I might be, but I believe the digitizer and display are fused together....much like the iphone. So replacing the digitizer alone will be difficult enough if not impossible.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] SpaceToast7:
I've seen websites and eBay sellers selling just the glass and digitizer without the screen, but I seem to recall hearing something about a "gapless" display when it first got announced. Is that a marketing term or is it actually fused together? I guess I'll find out from my local repair place.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Mike_77:
So is there a definitive answer to this yet? Mine slipped out of my pocket last night and has joined the cracked screen club.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] SpaceToast7:
They told me that the screen and glass are fused together the other day. :/
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _Epic:
It's fused together, best option is to cough up the $150 and get it replaced. You will just waste your time trying to repair it and end up with something worse than a cracked screen.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] vpetkar:
The digitizer and LCD are fused together and are impossible to separate. This assembly is also then glued on to the frame, making it impossible to just pull off (unless you're good with a heat gun!). The frame is currently unavailable so your only option is to buy the $100-140 screen assembly and a heat gun to melt the glue enough to pry it off.

My suggestion is just getting a local repair shop to do it for you, it'll save you the trouble and most are charging approximately $150.00.

s-off is a step past simply unlocking the bootloader. doing either will allow you to flash roms / kernels / custom recovery? s-off will also make it a bit easier to brick your phone if you don't follow directions.

S-off is the way to go. Just stick with ROMs/kernels/radios for this phone. Flashing files for other phones will usually brick your phone.
