OK so far I'm able to change all the toggls the batt icons the dialer and most of the images. The things I'm having trouble with is changing the dial pad numbers . the letters on ROM like clock at stausbar and the abc for the contacts. The background color for the contacts and the over scroll color.. I learned how to sing and deal with .9 images. When I was lookimg at tuts to edit XML files it said to look for 08 00 00 1c then the color would be the next ones. But I can't find it I find 08 00 00 05 pt 08 00 1c how do I know witch one is the colors... Plzz help.

Is there any way to remove this from the Jelly Bean OTA?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Verizon Jelly Bean does not have Blocking Mode. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JAYNO20:
Yes it does. Download quick short cut maker and you can add it that way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Then the Icon is in systemUI or framework-res apks or both. Have to remove them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JAYNO20:
hoping someone has a quick way of doing so..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
You can't just turn off and even if just remove icon there may be a blank space there without other xml or smali edits.I just run Root Call Blocker app and can turn off at will. :laugh::cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JAYNO20:
I know, I was hoping someone made a .zip to install in recovery to remove this or something. There is a thread for the international version where someone did just that. Just hoping to see someone on the Verizon end of things doing it as well...

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chillin:
Today my Nexus 7 shut off because the battery died. So I plugged it in and left. When I returned it was on the Nexus X logo boot screen.

I now can't do anything. If I try to turn it off by hitting the power button nothing happens.

If I hold the power button for 20 seconds it just reboots back to the X logo.

If I hold the power button and volume up for 20 seconds it just reboots back to the X logo.

If I hold the power button and both volume buttons for 20 seconds it just reboots back to the X logo.

If I hold the power button and volume down for 20 seconds it boots into Bootloader.

From bootloader I have 4 options:

-Start: This just reboots back to the X logo.

-Restart Bootloader: This just refreshes the Bootloader but leaves me where I am.

-Power Off: This is the only way I can even turn my Nexus 7 off. But when I turn it back on it just boots back to the X logo.

-Recovery Mode: This just shows a android with his chest open with a red exclamation mark and it says "No Command". At that point I can only hold power for 20 seconds to get it to reboot to the X logo.

My Nexus 7 is completely stock.

What can I try? Any advice or ideas? TIA.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khalum777:
I had this EXACT same problem, what I did was use the process I found on theunlockr.com website, I would post the direct link but since I'm a new member it won't allow me to, hope this helps.

P.S. I googled "reset nexus 7 through fastboot" and it's the first option
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chillin:
If you just put a space in the link you can post it. Like so:

http: //theunlockr.com/2012/09/21/how-to-hard-reset-a-bricked-nexus-7-with-your-pc/

Thanks for the help. is there no easier way to do a wipe or restore? That seems unnecessarily complicated.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chillin:
Sorry but what exactly does that do for me?

It allows me to install a recovery, which I don't want to do.

It allows me to boot into recovery, which I can already do.

It allows me to install a custom ROM, which I don't want to do.

What am I missing?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chillin:
Hmmm?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
Its really not as complicated as it looks. You could even copy and paste each command. But if its something more simple you are looking for then look in the development stickies. There are tools there to do the same stuff.

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 PM ----------

Just making it an actual link for other readers who want to click it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chillin:
Well you actually can't paste into a command prompt, so I can't cut and paste. ;)

But it wasn't so much that it was complicated (certainly much easier than the rooting, unlocking, and flashing ROMs and basebands I've done on many devices), it was more so that it seems there should be an official proper way to restore your device like there is with many others.

Anyways I'm downloading the factory image and whatnot now.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
Ctrl v will paste into prompt on linux. On windows 7 you just right click and paste. Check out wugs tool as well. May be worth checking out.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
Windows? You sure can paste into a command prompt. While ctrl+v won't work, you can still right click.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chillin:
Actually no Ctrl-V just gives you "^v", but I just discovered that right-click Paste works. I never use right-click so I never saw that, so turns out you were right after all. :p

Anyways I was just kidding about the cut and paste, obviously that wasn't what was holding me back from doing it.

Thanks for trying to help suggesting something else, but I've already downloaded the necessary tools for this one, and like I said it wasn't that I wanted another tool it was that I wanted an Official way to do it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chillin:
lol, ya windows. Like I just said in another post I just noticed that. I didn't notice before because I never use right-click.

And regardless I would never use it to copy 2 word prompts anyways. More trouble than it's worth.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
I edited my post to say what I meant more clearly. Linux is Ctrl v and windows is just right click and paste. I assumed you where using Linux and couldn't right click and paste. Hope it works out for you. I agree there should be like an ruu or Odin method. I've only been on the nexus for a couple of days and it is much different.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chillin:
Oh I see, gotcha. Never ever used Linux.

I have the Nexus 4, Nexus 7, and Nexus 10 and all have been quite good to me, this is my first real issue.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chillin:
OK, no luck, none of the methods suggested here worked.

The method on theunlokr doesn't just says waiting for device.

The JROMFlasher says no device is detected.

Wugs tool says Fastboot device was not found.

Any other ideas or anything else I can try?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
There are a few different drivers for the nexus. Sounds like you don't have the correct drivers. Download the android sdk and install the Google drivers from the

SDK manager. When in fastboot type fastboot devices and it should list your device. If not then its a driver issue. The other two drivers are "USB driver r06 windows" from Asus website and "universal naked driver 072" which I found on Google. One of those should work but the one in sdk should work.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnt0303:
I am very new to this but I might be able to help if you have USB debugging enabled on your nexus 7. I saved mine from a soft brick the other day, very frustrating, but I got it.

I am guessing your boot loader is unlocked and you are running a custom recovery?

Again hopefully USB debugging is enabled.

I recommend mskips nexus toolkit.

1. Remove the back cover of the nexus 7 and disconnect the battery. It's easy. Just follow the wires coming off the battery to the little black plastic connector. Once you locate it, use something small and plastic to push on the edge near where the wires go in. Push toward the power and volume buttons. Let it sit for an hour or so.

2. Very, very ,very ,important!!! Get into your device manager on your PC and uninstall all drivers on the PC that say android, Google or nexus. I mean all of them! Check USB drivers for this also. To many of these cause to many paths for the toolkit and PC to try and follow. Get them all off!

3.after the nexus sits unplugged for at least 1 hour. Reconnect the battery.

4. Get into fast boot mode-power/volume/up/down and plug the nexus into the PC. Let the drivers install. These need to be the only ones on the PC at this time!

5. Open mskips toolkit and check for serial number. Refresh toolkit and or switch USB ports on PC if serial number does not show. It will.

6. On the toolkit try option 5 first. Rename recovery.

7. Then option 6. Reflash custom recovery.( I had to do this three times).

8. Download and flash factory image.

9. Root using the toolkit.

10. Start flashing again.

When the toolkit gave me an error I went back and started over, this happened a few times.

This saved my nexus 7 from being smashed by a sledge hammer and thrown in the garbage. This was very frustrating for me but I got it.

Thanks to mskip
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chillin:
Thanks for trying to help but like I mentioned it was completely stock so I couldn't have done that. Regardless taking my device apart to fix a software issue seems rather extreme.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chillin:
I had the correct drivers according to Wugs, but I removed all of them (and dozens of other old ones from other phones and tablets) and then reinstalled.

Wugs still failed to do a wipe so I used it to unlock my bootloader instead (in hopes of re-trying to do a wipe afterwards) and then it finally booted up.

So it is now fixed. Yay!

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onlynexus:
So all you did was unlock the bootloader?

Mine is stock also.

All I should do is unlock bootloader and it will finally go past the x screen?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chillin:
Yes that is what worked for me so hopefully it will work for you too.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onlynexus:
Since unlocking bootloader would erase everything I decided to do a factory reset first and that worked for me
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chillin:
Yes and that also reset everything no?

Sorry if I seem like an idiot

Hi, I apologize if I seem like an idiot, but I don't have a lot of experience with troubleshooting tablets or phones. I have a 32gb Nexus 7 completely stock like yourself. I'm stuck in the boot loop. I tried to use Wug's tool, but I keep getting error messages saying the files are missing from the archive when I try to flash to a stock image. I don't understand what you mean when you say you used it to unlock your bootloader to fix it. I'm trying to avoid having to send it in for warranty service if I can. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chillin:
When you are running Wug's tool (Nexus Root Toolkit) hit "Unlock" (located in the very centre of the app window). Assuming you got all the drivers installed correctly that should do the trick (or at least it did for me).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leonhan:
He fixed his by unlocking the bootlader because unlocking it erases all of the data. I think it helps if you put a tick on the "semi-bricked" option in wug's toolkit. Otherwise, use the fastboot method.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vince70:
Hi, I'd appreciate if someone can help me with the toolkit as I'm completely stuck/lost. My Nexus 7 is stuck as the X screen or I can put into fastboot mode where it says the status is locked. When using the toolkit with the 'Flash Stock + Unroot' it states that the device is connected but then shows a message in the black window of 'Failed - remote bootloader is locked'.

When trying the unlock option it states after check ADB status that 'ADB device was not found' and then gives instructions to enable USB debugging on the devide, which I cannot do because I cannot get it to boot up. So without being able to unlock it I can use the 'Flash Stock + Unroot' .

Can anyone help with what I should do?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leonhan:
Might be a driver issue. Uninstall every n7 driver and replug the device and have it install its drivers again. And be sure to check the USB debugging option.

I just got a GT-I9305 and connected it to KIES to update and initialize firmware. I realise that KIES was showing "Current Firmware does not support update in KIES" when i click update and initialize firmware it replies "Initialize is not support for GT-I9305".

Current Firmware: AP: I9305XXALI9

Can i use just use ODIN to flash the firmware and will the flash counter jump ?

Another way i was thinking was to enter Download mode and use KIES's emergency restore.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lilbeast:
hello there i have an Samsung galaxy s epic touch , that the power button doesn't work, can i active it and take it to a sprint store and see if they repair it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] onefasttreopro:
I believe you should be fine doing that. I've done it before with $4 esrp (equipment service repair program) twice...switched phone onto account, waited a day or so and then went in and played dumb on why I was having issues (software issue caused by me that prevented booting/reprogramming/reinstallation of software). Most likely if they aren't able to fix it, they'll order a refurb for ya. Depends on servicability of the phone etc (evo 3d and EVO LTE being a bit more work for them from what I was told) I'd advise doing it at a corporate location. Faster and less hassle. Hope it helps ya and works out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lilbeast:
thanks a lot for the info it greatly helps. where can i find corporate locations ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] onefasttreopro:
Well I believe you can search on sprint.com (I think it even says corporate next to the address etc.), try finding location in sprint zone app same way (if you still have it installed), or you can even call sprint and ask them to locate one for you closest to your current location, you can stop into a location you know of and just ask em if they are. Hope that points ya in the right direction.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Robert542:
You 2 idiots and many more like yourselves are the reason why our deductables keep going up. You think your scamming sprint and getting one over on them. Guess what your not, your screwing the rest of us. Sprint will not take that money out of their bottom line, they will take it from us. The TEP and ESRP plans are for your current phones not ones you have laying around and want fixed because you are to cheap to pay for the repair yourself. When Sprint raises the fees for these programs people like you guys will be the first to make a post here on xda complaining that sprint is nickel and dimeing us to death and that you've had enough and you going to another carrier. End of rant.......
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
​

But all joking aside, he's right. This is why our newer phones now require an $11/month plan to keep insurance. If you have a broken phone, leave it as such or pay the price to get it fixed. Stop doing this to Sprint. It only hurts us in the end.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] buddahj:
If you reactivate an old phone, Sprint will offer their protection plan for it. I found this out a few weeks ago when I screwed up my LTE for a few days and didn't have the time to fix it. I asked why they'd offer it on my old Hero and they said they have to whenever a phone is activated. Personally, I don't buy extended warranties or protection plans for any of my electronic devices. I just found it weird that they'd do something like that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] onefasttreopro:
I'm really hoping you're not getting rude towards me in any form or fashion. I've done nothing but be helpful in this forum from day one for 5+ years or even more....First off just want you to check yourself before you go off on someone that is simply replying to his question...I've been with sprint for quite some time, during which I've had replacements approved because they couldn't be fixed at the time and more recently I've worked for a sprint repair center and as long as they were paying for the insurance, we collected the appropriate deductibles and phones were replaced if we couldn't repair in-house (which a lot of times we did do repairs and dis t even charge the customer). TEP along with the other alacarte coverages (esrp, erp), transfer from phone to phone on each particular line. Only way I can explain that it's NOT screwing sprint and other users is because out of all the people that are paying for the insurance or even know they have it on their account (which you'd be surprised how many are shocked to hear they are paying for such coverage) maybe 25% actually take advantage of it....now I CAN agree if you abuse the system (ie:different replacement phone on the same line every month) then that is BS. But if you're simply putting a phone back on a line and its defective and within warranty/replacement criteria, I don't see an issue with it. More than likely sprint will send a within warranty device back to manufacturer (like they should be) and honor a coverage on the device that just happens to have a minor issue that can be repaired and cycled back through as someone else's refurb....hope that makes sense to anyone reading this. To finish off I guess my wording for "playing dumb" wasn't the best. I guess just don't go into detail on how it got damaged so that they don't have a reason to charge a "ID10T" fee. If the place knows their stuff they will know how to get a replacement and not hit you too hard in the wallet.
