Guys I'm in deep trouble! This is what happens when you don't rally know what you're doing!

I tried to revert back to stock, first by putting stock recovery on it via fastboot which said it was successful, so when I go into recovery I've still got CWM on it, so I tried to go into usb mounts and storage because I'd put my nand back up on it to restore that but it just said error so couldn't access it. So I ended up going down the ruu route and ran 1.26.206.2 but I noticed when the ruu started to run and it said update image from 1.29.206.11 to 1.26.206.2 I guess you can't go backwards because it said something like bootloader mismatch. I've downloaded the 1.29 ruu but it's in zip format, how do I install it? Plus after running the ruu I cant install my nand backup recovery or boot image. Believe me I did do a lot of reading but I guess I'm just thick I just can't seem to grasp it. All I've got now is the bootloader so I don't know whether the phone is charging or not. The battery was probably around 80% when I started out over an hour ago and I have tried to sort it myself but this is out of my league. Can someone please help or point me in the right direction, I'm desperate.
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
The 1.29 RUU is not available yet, and the zip file you tried to download was apparently an OTA file, which you can't use.

Give me the following info to proceed:

-CID using fastboot command

"fastboot oem readcid"

-Main version with following command

"fastboot getvar version-main"
[HTC One X] eddyedwards007:
First of all thank you for replying.

my cid is o2-001

the main version is 1.29.206.11
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
First of all you should have access to custom recovery. If you can't access, try to reflash cwm and make sure it's v5.8.4.0.

Download the appropriate stock nandroid backup from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1975140

Save boot.img from it for further use.

Transfer backup to phone and restore as usual.

Flash boot.img.

Then you can flash stock recovery and relock bootloader if you want.

Edit: you sure your bootloader is still unlocked?
[HTC One X] eddyedwards007:
What is the exact command word for word in fastboot? this is the image I have, recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
[HTC One X] eddyedwards007:
Done that, it sends ok but then fails to write saying remote not allowed?
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Your bootloader is locked. Unlock it again.

If you have the unlock_code.bin in your email, you can use it, otherwise you have to go through htcdev unlock process entirely.
[HTC One X] eddyedwards007:
I've got the original unlock code, I've followed the instructions but in the command prompt it is just stuck on sending unlock token?
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Try powering phone off and on again, confirm that it is in fastboot mode, also check if "fastboot devices" returns anything.

Do you have the unlock code in fastboot folder on your pc?

The exact command is: "fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin"
[HTC One X] eddyedwards007:
Okay I've successfully unlocked again and its rebooted to a screen with the word android on the screen, now do I leave that to see what happens or do I need to go into bootloader and follow the instructions you gave before regarding flashing cwm etc?
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Go ahead and proceed with the instructions I gave earlier.
[HTC One X] eddyedwards007:
Thanks, when I mounted the usb storage the stock backup was still there so I renamed it update.zip and then tried to install it but it came back with"installing/sdcard/update.zip

finding update package

opening update package

E:can't open sdcard/update.zip(bad)

installation aborted?

What have I done wrong?
[HTC One X] eddyedwards007:
By the way if my backup is no good and I download from the link you gave me do I download the 1.29 one or the 2.17 one?
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Are you referring to a backup made by you or one downloaded from my link?

Anyways, you do not need to rename it, just have it on sdcard in clockworkmod folder and restore it using cwm's backup/restore function.

---------- Post added at 01:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------

2.17 one is for cid O2_E11, which you don't have. So 1.29 it is.
[HTC One X] eddyedwards007:
I put my backup on the sd card I don't seem to have a cwm folder but when I tried to install it it just says couldn't open directory no files found?

I'm downloading the 1.29 from the link you gave me and I'll try that.
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
The backup should be at /clockworkmod/backup/ otherwise it will not be recognized. Create those folders if you don't have them.
[HTC One X] eddyedwards007:
I've done that but still get the same error, I created a folder named clockwork mod and then a subfolder named backup and put the backup in there?
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Also, the backup should be unzipped, so /clockworkmod/backup/backupname/

The backupname folder should contain bunch of files: boot.img, a couple of .tar files etc. It's hard to explain.

Anyways, the downloaded backup is guaranteed to work. Just extract the .zip file's contents to the folder /clockworkmod/backup/backupname/
[HTC One X] eddyedwards007:
I've done all that, doesn't work so I must be doing something wrong. When you say backupname do I put that in or the actual name of the file which is HOX O2 1.29 backup?

Sorry to be a pain but I'm so close now and you have been a terrific help.

Edit I've rebooted the phone and it's now restoring the backup so fingers crossed.

You have been an absolute star and a godsend and I was well and truly stumped!

A million thanks
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
You're welcome! :)

Btw: You also have to flash the boot.img of that backup, which is found in the downloaded zip. Flash as usual:

fastboot flash boot boot.img
[HTC One X] eddyedwards007:
Yea I've just realised that lol as it was in a boot loop. I've now got my phone back :D you where brilliant!

One more thing I think I just have to flash stock recovery now to get the ota for my cid, is that correct?
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Yeah, flash stock recovery and you're good to go.

I'm glad I could help. Be sure to click that thanks button. :D

Enjoy your JB whenever you get it!

Over and out.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dude010:
Hello to all

I hope it's not a too stupid question but can I install a Verzion or Sprint Firmware on my regular Galaxy Nexus? I saw a nice firmware in the Verizon section and I don't know it's possible.

Thanks for your feedback and please don't kill me for this threat if it was a n00b question. :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
Never flash anything not for your exact device. Especially one that uses an entirely different network type.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kliw:
The mobile components (HW, chipset etc..) are completely different between GSM (standard) and Verizon and Sprint .

Therefore you will have a not functional device for sure.. possibly a hard bricked one.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazer155:
I want to free up a bit more space on my 16gb nexus 4. Right now the system portion is taking about 3.5 GBs. I was wondering if custom ROMs use a smaller system area. Looking at unexpanded install files for different ROMs and comparing them to the stock install tar file, it does look like the stock is a bit bigger than custom ROMs (cyanogenmod's install tar was about 107mb while stock was about 330mb). Its hard to tell though since those install packages/files are compressed tar. Could some of you with custom ROMs post your system area size?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbucks911:
not really. maybe a rom like slim bean might be a little bit smaller but not that big of size difference. and btw the stock rom is an image (.img) and cyanogenmod is most likely a zip (.zip), which is more compressed, so zips are usually smaller files than images
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prod1702:
Welling looking at Titanium Backup it says CM10.1 Jellybo is taking up 867mb with basic Gapps. It says i have 440mb free. So to me by going off that info the system part is only about 1.4gb. Most of my gapps like gmail, maps that kind of stuff is on the data part.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
No matter what ROM you flash the space you have available to you is the same.

Smaller ROM just will give you more free space in the /system partition. Which you can't access without root anyways.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Yeah space is already reserved for the system so it doesn't matter. Just flash whatever ROM you feel most suites your needs.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prod1702:
From my understanding what the OP is asking is if other roms will have more free space on the system part most likely because he wants to install more apps on the system part to free up space on the data part. Titanium Backup allows you to do this. I do it on my wife's Gravity Smart to free up space on the data. Not really sure what all you are going to move since there is so little space there.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
First off, why would you want to install apps into the /system/app/ folder? It makes no sense, it's not going to free up significant space that every body has to use. This phone isn't the G1 where we had limited storage and people had to install apps to the sdcard (apps2sd). It logically makes no sense.

Restoring system apps via Titanium Backup is also not a good idea and tends to leads you to trouble upon flashing ROMs and restoring system apps. Then people wonder why their phone is having force closures or acting funky. This is the Nexus 4, a highend phone not a Gravity Smart, a phone I never even heard of. No offense.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
You bring up bad memories. It was so complicated just to have all your apps, you would need to jump thru all the loops. At least now storage is easy to come by.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakejm79:
A little OT, but are there any custom MTD partitions mods for the N4, so that unused /system space could be made available for /data

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaritimeGamer:
I have done some forum reading and have learned a lot from it (I think...) but I still have some remaining questions seeing as some of the posts are old and I'm sure things have changed by now.

Some things I have learned, correct me if I'm wrong.

SGH-i317M:

- Model provided by Bell

- LTE

- Up to 75Mb - 150mb Depending on towers

N7105:

- LTE

- Uses more battery in LTE mode

- Up to 75Mb - 150mb Depending on towers

N7100:

- NOT LTE

- Up to 21Mb to 45Mb Depending on towers

The thing is I live in Fredericton NB Canada and after looking over the Bell Tower Map there are no towers around me that are faster then a 21Mb to 45Mb. and knowing Bell it will be years before there is any here... With that in mind I have come to an unfortunate conclusion that LTE would be useless to me at this time. So I'm thinking of get a N7100. (correct me if I'm making the wrong choice)

The question I have about the N7100 are:

- Will it work with Bell Canada?

- Will it have better Battery life because it doesn't have LTE?

- Any one know where to buy one in Canada?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give! :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaritimeGamer:
No Canadian Note 2 users out there?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McLaren__F1:
Yes N7100 will work for Canada. As for battery life note 2 already has a big mah capacity. I'm using N7100 with Rogers right now. I got mines locally so prices will vary. But should be in the $600 range
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaritimeGamer:
I just went to buy my N7100 at Newegg.ca and now there sold out... :( They had some yesterday there gos that idea... :crying:

Ok, Enough Crying. What is the current story on SGH-i317M?

For some reason Rogers sell it for $650 but Bell if $730 for the same phone.. What the hell is up with that?

So looks like I'll have to buy the Rogers one, I assume it can be rooted to work on the Bell Network?

What has the ROM action been like as of late for the "SGH-i317M"? I know in older post people where saying there was not much support, is that still the same?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McLaren__F1:
http://www.expansys.ca/samsung-gala...tphone-16gb-gray-unlocked-850-1900-3g-236052/ (It says $675 on front page but its $650 + shipping when u add to cart)

No idea why Bell has a higher price one. Just unlock the phone and it can be used with any of the carriers.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaritimeGamer:
Was just about to order that one from expansys.ca then I seen it is out of stock :( looks like I'm back to the SGH-i317M again.

Just ordered it from there and selected the Gray Model then I get an email after order saying there shipping me the White one... I emailed them back to change it I hope they don't send me white.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaritimeGamer:
Ok, time to think ahead and seeing as I'm getting some good help here :)

I know about rooting and all that stuff (I rooted my last 2 phone) and I'm sure I'll figure that stuff out later...

but, I have never bought a "Unlocked" phone before dose that mean I can just place my old SIM from my SGS2 (that I will cut down with tin snips :good:) . in the N7100 and it will just work? or will I have to install a cretin ROM or Radio to make it work on my existing Bell Plan?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McLaren__F1:
Yes u can just take out your old SIM card from SGS2, just make sure its MicroSim. No need to install any special ROM/Radio
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaritimeGamer:
So... I received the phone today from

canadagsm.ca

and not only is it the wrong model it's the SGH-i317M (I ordered the N7100) and on top of that it's was USED! It still had some ones old SIM in it... So I'm sending it back, there paying for shipping back (we will see if that happens...) And they said they will send me the right phone "IF" they have it. other wise they will give me a refund. I think I should just get a refund ether way I don't trust them at all now, and I would recommend no one buys from them. I see other people in the internet saying they got used phones from them too. :(
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McLaren__F1:
Wow, sorry i recommend you that site:mad::crying:

Hope, you get it sorted out ASAP.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaritimeGamer:
It's not you fault I should have gone with my Gut and not my Heart. My Gut said "This company looks sketchy" and my heart just wanted the phone.

I have now called them 3+ times in the past 9 hours and it is always the same lady on the phone and she always sounds frantic. Like her world is crashing around her (witch it will be if I don't get 100% of my money back..) she keeps saying she will email me a shipping label but it has been over 8 hours and still nothing...

If I had to guess I would bet that this company is actually a Cell Booth in a Mall and they are selling refurbished phones as new ones (and for the same price as new ones!) and are also doing online internet sales too.

Looks like I'll be waiting a lot longer for my phone now then I wanted :crying:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaritimeGamer:
They sent me a return shipping label! Fingers crossed :fingers-crossed: I get my money back. I still don't trust them...

I see Newegg.ca got the N7100 back in, I just ordered one from them. I have ordered many times from Newegg and they have always been good and safe.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotshoaib:
If you are in lte area, i317 definitely worth for speed.

But Samsung canada sucks over updates.

Not even multiwindow update has been released.

If you are not in Lte area, N7100 is best option, considering battery life and on time updates.

Note 2 rocks.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
I got my n7100 from expansys.ca and use it on the Virgin Mobile network (Bell). To be honest, I don't care for lte as data plans are so small and I consume over 60gb of data per month on my phone, so the advantages of s faster Internet are hampered by a small bandwidth allowance.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaritimeGamer:
I shiped out my Phone on Monday. They received it on Wednesday and Paypal sent me an Email saying there is a Pending Refund from them for the FULL amount! :) I have to wait till next Friday to make sure I get the money, but it's looking really good so far! Thank goodness, that is a lot of money to be out, the wife would kill me. :crying:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaritimeGamer:
I got my N7100 from Newegg yesterday and it is awesome! :D Thanks you Newegg for not trying to scamming me!

I cut down my BELL Sim Card with tin-snips and a box cutter, put it in and everything worked! Things are really starting to look up. :) I also got the update for dual screen witch the Canadian phones don't even have yet.

I never rooted it yet. (no need to where everything worked) but there are some things I don't like, that rooting might change so I might in the not to far future.

I'd like to thanks everyone for there help. I'm sure you'll hear from me soon enough with more questions. ;)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] samomamo:
This is a mod how to enable navigation bar(on screen buttons) , its very simple and easy...

Add the following line at the end of buid.prop file

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

now on reboot we will have nav-bar like on nexus 4

To disable hardware keys, I used root explorer go to system/usr/keylayout click and hold on kaypad.nl and choose from menu open in text editor and 139,158,172 edit the home to hom and do the same on all 3 lines and hit save and reboot,

Plus I went and deleted all the 139, 158, 172 lines from external_kbd.kl, Generic.kl, MHLRCP.kl, osp3-input.kl and qwerty.kl. I dont know if that helps because I deleted them first then edited the lines in kaypad.nl.

Thanx to accentuer he made a zip that works also and might be easier for some people

My guess would be that LG's launcher wasn't made to be scale-able.

LG knew the resolution of the screen but the nav bar changes the usable space and the system tries to accommodate... unsuccessfully.

3rd party launchers are made to scale to different resolutions/ratios.

Just a guess though.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] bleached45:
Yeah, it makes the phone not see the touch hardware buttons.

You can use any root explorer (solid explorer, es file explorer, root browser, etc.)

You need to go to the root of the phone, then go to the system folder, then usr, keylayout, and open the file keypad_8064.kl with a text editor (long press on it and select open as/open with).

You will see the 3 lines mentioned and you just add the # before them.

Save the file and reboot.

I want to say, since you seem a little unfamiliar with editing system files like this, please do a backup in recovery first.

I just want to make sure you are covered in case something happens.
