Hi, i've just updated the phone to Vodafone JB OTA update, it works fine.

I wanted to have a Retail EU JB Rom, so i wanted to revert back to 4.0.4 with CFC_signed_customer_8.7.1I-110_IFW-DE-32_RTEU.xml.zip, and flash with RSD lite, but i can't even go to fastboot.

When i press vol down+power, i see the green light and motorola logo, but it just starts the phone to jellybean...

Where the fastboot has gone ???
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HSD-Pilot:
AW: Hard BRICK ?

You are such an lucky guy. Dude, read this Thread, think about it and read it again. After that tell me again that you wanna downgrade from this OTA Update.

No i won't tell you how to get into fastboot and you should be thankful for that :screwy:

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mschmiedel:
Well,

I just couldn't resist it and installed one of the homemade fastboots with JB (unlocking the bootloader of course), but really, if you aren't 100% sure just don't mess with the phone, specially don't downgrade if you don't have documented evidence that the combination will work... I got lucky and got a replacement, but I'm positive I did nothing wrong with the phone, it died flashing signed firmwares, so beware before messing around!

A bricked XT890 and nothing works HELP

Hi guys

I have a Motorola Razr i and I unlocked de bootloader without a problem. Then I tried to be root user and when I was in CMD executing the instructions, mi PC shuts down in the middle of the process and mi phone got stuck in the "Warning Bootloader Unlocked" screen. Since then everytime I turn on the phone that's the only screen Ican use on the celphone. I don't even have access to the fastboot menu anymore. I tried flashing the OS using RDS Lite but it's useless. Seems to me that there's no Android system inside the XT890. I wanna restore it (at least to ICS)

Can anyone help me out???

Thanks
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skupi20:
If you see warning logo fastboot must be oki. It looks like you use wrong combination. You must push vol down and power buttons in the same time and wait until green light will show, when light disappear release very fast only power button. You will feel vibration also when light will disappear.

I've been running the nightlies daily now and so far it isn't getting any better. All players have, tried Apollo, Google Music, Mixzing, no luck.

I even tried mp3's, even with lower bitrate, instead of the usual FLAC but still the music keeps skipping every few seconds.

Anyone any clue what I can do about this?

Thought I'd start a thread to see what kind of accessories people regularly use on their Nexus 4, pictures are always welcome.

After using the official and poetic bumpers, aswell as a few cases, I find that using no bumper or case but a rear + front screen protector and pouch gives me the best Nexus 4 experience with full scratch protection and drop protection between use. I just have to not drop it when using it :good:.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:

Needless to say, the N4 has been my most favorite phone I've ever used.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eltocliousus:
I was thinking of getting the Ringke Rearth, I already have two protectors on it but I'd still like to protect it from drops, and the bumper adds too much lip bulk for me, the Rearth looks very petité and just gives added protection tot he back.

Filco majestouch 2 tenkeyless, cherry blues, blank white keycaps on the face keys. Enjoy your Das, lovely keyboard.

The rear glass scratches extremely easily, even if you baby it, you'll get a scratch or a few at one point as it isn't gorilla glass, it's not a big issue for most but for peace of mind I love my Skinomi, it's the first non-cheapo protector I've used and it's extremely easy to apply, as you do so using a liquid which lets you slide it around until you've got it lined up perfectly.

The only downside to the protector is that it takes 1-2 days to fully settle in, but it's near impossible to get bubbles or dust under the protector because of it. Also it seems to be one of the only protectors that follow the curved sides of the phone which is a big plus for me.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Squall-Leonhart:
I've got an out of warranty Galaxy S2 sitting beside me, which the owner wants updated to the latest available Telstra rom (From 2.3.3)

Sadly, attempting to update via OTA would result in the 'connection failed' error (typical telstra bs), or 'samsung account already added in account manager' error.

The Home button is dead, I assume the hardware has failed, so what i would like to know, is if there is a known command to reboot into the download via ADB, similar to the adb command that reboots into recovery.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ValenteL:
Hi

On my NOTE 10.1 N8000...

1- Installed a Rom CSC=DBT. After I had on system/csc all files DBT by default and on efs/imei/mps_code.dat DBT also.

Full wipe + Format system

2- Restored a backup Rom CSC=XEO. After I had on system/csc all files XEO by default but on .../mps_code.dat continue DBT.

The Rom XEO is working now whit efs/imei/mps_code.dat=DBT. (The backup Rom not backed efs folder).

My question. What I must make?

3- Replace on .../mps_code.dat the DBT to XEO by manual mode. (On a clean install the Rom update this to it own CSC). Or...

4- Before Restore Rom (or after?), replace the efs folder DBT for a efs folder XEO that I backed when Rom XEO was working.

(On a clean install the Rom update .../mps_code.dat to it own CSC and, may be, configure something more on files and subfolders on efs folder).

I remember, is from efs/imei/mps_cod.dat, that efs partition 3 is updated to actual CSC.

Thanks in advance for some opinions.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
EFS folder is not CSC don't start messing with EFS .

EFS is not in the rom CSC is in the rom you flash .

Many roms are multi CSC .

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ValenteL:
I know. But on each clean install the Rom put your own CSC on efs/imei/mps_code.dat. For what? Yes, for what?

For example ../mps_code.dat whit DBT inside. Read one and compare whit the CSC by default from Rom.

I think You don't understood me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
True .

If a firmware incorporates CSC in the file it is flashed . Many roms are multiple CSC .

If the rom is a DBT rom then it installs DBT CSC even if its a multi CSC . You change it using CSC Changer from the market .

Or edit the custom rom CSC files as i did to give ARHD rom BTU default instead of original CSC .

Screen protector and case

I use case mate pop for my phone as it's pretty useful for propping the phone up whilst watching videos/movies. Also I have a screen protector from media devil which is very high quality and I personally find it doesn't impair the viewing experience at all. The only thing is that it is noticeably less smooth to touch/swipe and also fingerprints stick much easier.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] sunrainsky:
I used to have a case mate pop until I left it somewhere and the rubber melted.

I love the stand and I only buy cases that fully protects all edges, and come with a stand to boot.

Cons of the case mate pop: heavy. Stand gets loose with use. Probably can add a little super glue to stiffen it.

I found another case that is more a two piece plastic with silicone interior to replace it. It's lighter and has a stand too.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] kt-Froggy:
Zagg is extremely durable, that's the good thing about it. It's very hard to damage, and it seems to be self-healing to some degree. Excellent protection, for sure. However, there are two things that I personally don't like about it. First, its surface is not completely flat and smooth -- it's slightly textured and kinda "bumpy". It's not a huge problem, but is a bit annoying sometimes, depending on the viewing angle. Second, it doesn't have a smooth glide feeling of a glass or some other SPs -- the surface has some friction and "catches" a finger, for the lack of a better description. Oh, and the price -- it's pretty darn expensive... I used it on my previous phone (it still has it installed), but I will not buy it again.

For screen protector i use "Brando Ultra Clear" , and it really IS ultra clear. I cant see any difference before and after. And it uses static, not glue, so if you want you can take it of and put it back on if you misplaced it, or some dust got in between.

For the case i use "Case Mate Barely There" , its ultra slim, doesnt realy increase the size, and covers the buttons slightly so they dont get pressed accidently in the pocket. And it realy protects. Phone fell down, the case slightly cracked, but the phone is fine.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] kt-Froggy:
Just a little comment... I am using a plastic case on SGS2 for two main reasons. One is that the naked phone is too thin and awkward to hold, being kinda slippery (not sure it's the best word, but it tends to escape my grip). My case makes holding it much more comfortable without adding too much bulk. The second reason is the actual protection. Unfortunately, many phones, including SGS2, have the same stupid design with the camera module protruding from the back, and the lens cover being flush with the bezel, exposing it to easy scratches. A case eliminates that bump, making it safer for the camera lens (BTW, the Samsung 2200 mAh extended battery kit has the same effect, leveling out the back of the phone). A case also creates a safety bumper around front and the edges.

Also, I have an extended battery pack that doubles as a case -- it makes the phone significantly bulkier, but it's very useful when I need longer time before recharging...
