Seems to work :)

I was having the security error a couple of days ago.

After having the phone run for a couple of days I used adb reboot oem-unlock and it went to the screen where I pressed Vol-Up and it went into download mode so I forced Windows to install the ADB driver manually and it went to Done - Now Ready, at this stage I rebooted and installed CWM which also works.

Bootloader Unlock State is unlocked in the hidden menu.

This is good news. What you guys using, the euro open v20a?

Which network are you on? I've got a hunch that this affects things as German users have a similar issue.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] thediksta:
Makes no diference what network u are on. THE KEY ELEMENTS ARE

1, official 20a for your country (mine is uk or gbr)

2,leave your phone on for minimum of 2 hours(this means if reboot for whatever reason then start the 2 hours from then)

and try to have credit on pay as you go network and turn off wifi (the jury is still out on wether this mean "a real network"

3,never use ADB REBOOT BOOTLOADER - FASTBOOT OEM UNLOCK,(this worked for euroxxx NOT US)

4,dont use your normal adb and drivers, USE THIS---First install the fastboot:

http://www12.zippyshare.com/v/5786485/file.html

and copy the adb folder in a directory:

http://www12.zippyshare.com/v/90436494/file.html

in the adb folder open the cmd.exe

5, stay at it and keep trying over and over again coz 23400 will definitly unlock and probably the others will unlock aswell,(i dont believe for one miniute that lg could be that cruel)

6, if your are unlucky enough to have branded and stuck on 1 network then pay to unlock to all networks and you to can join in the fun

Can I ask where you got GBR v20a?..I'm om euro open V20a and can't unlock, GBR V20a isn't available as far as I can see.

so does the actual method works or not??

well nowhere I can find that for 234000 (or whatever) bootloader unlock works (reading 10000 posts to find 1 accurate answer is a bit daft).

If you are on 234 then the official method WILL work.

Search for posts by me yesterday - if your phone hangs when doing the official method then try the alternate official method that I posted the link to. It's exactly the same, just done a different way.

As long as your phone has been turned on and connected to the network for long enough you should be fine - once you get the notification from LG about your phone being registered or similar then you'll be fine, normally a couple of hours.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] pierg75:
I tried that before trying the odm_reserved but didn't work on the official UK.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] MattSkeet:
OK kudos to you. It worked today. It seemed that phone had to be booted for a while for the bootloader unlock to work... (as you have said).... Thanks a lot
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
You're welcome mate. LG have confirmed that the UK firmware (v234) is officially supported with unlock. That's why I had waited for them to release an official version for us, rather than blowing my fuses to gain a few days.

Now running CM10.1 and loving it - so good to get back to a vanilla Android system.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] igerup:
So, after typing fastboot oem unlock and selectig unlock,+ pressing powerbutton. Is th ephone just supposed to sit there with a black screen and lit buttons?

Sure, the ADB command window says it's unlocked...

Try adb reboot-oem unlock, if this doesn't work then terminal hack might be the only way for you

I tried vpnoneclick it says the same

am using huawei u8180.

please help me.
[HTC Rezound] roywood:
I have looked through numerous threads to find an answer to my problem but cannot seem to find it anywhere. I have tried obtaining the new update both OTA and installing on my SD card and am getting the same problem all the time. My phone will reboot into recovery ( I have CWM) and the screen with say "Install this untrusted package?" I have to tap the volume down button to "install untrusted zip" and when I hit the power button I get the same error that it failed to verify the whole file signature. D: Error in /cache/fumo/OTApkg.zip

I am rooted completely stock with s-on.

Does anyone have any idea how to get this to work?

Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] darkjedi7:
You have to relock the bootloader and be on stock recovery to accept the ota.
[HTC Rezound] 66racer:
Yeah just relock the bootloader (hasoon2000 all in one is easy if you dont know the script), and name the file ph98img.zip, then boot to bootloader and accept the update.

edit:

I want to add you MIGHT need to do the update twice once you do what we both mentioned. I had it once require me to flash the ph98img file twice before it booted into htc stock ics, maybe because I was on one of the new JB roms
[HTC Rezound] roywood:
Ok apparently I don't know how to go back to a stock recovery. Could you explain.

Also, if I go back to stock recovery would this mean I would have to re root everything?

The only reason I am doing this is so my stupid phone will quit rebooting into recovery in the middle of the night.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
Only way i know of getting stock recovery is to flash the RUU but this will wipe the phone.

back up the rom you are on now.

back up internal partition

lock bootloader

flash RUU in hboot

this will get you 100% out of the box stock

accept the OTA update.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
First you need to delete your win32 folder and profit.
[HTC Rezound] fuzzynco:
Rebooting to install OTA with custom rom and recovery

I was able to get it to stop rebooting and failing by renaming /system/app/HTCdm.apk,

(after seeing that was what was doing the download). I then deleted the OTA zip file,

and rebooted. Since then it has not tried to reprocess the OTA.,

My feeling is that shouldn't have tried in the first place. But this workaround seems to work.

get ODIN, install drivers on pc (install kies), go to sammobile website (google it) and download the firmware for your phone/carrier/country

enter in recovery mode, wipe data, format system, preload and emmc (will format your internal sdcard)

enter in download mode, endt all task linked to kies programs, plug your phone to the pc

open ODIN, u should see a yellow box saying COM: some number (number of your usb port), if so your good to go

click PDA and select the donwload file (dont forget to unzip it until you get a TAR file), click START

wait and if there isnt any error in the process your phone should reboot to stock, if its stuck jsut enter in recovery mode and wipe data/factory reset and it will boot

HI can I get an hint about removing or cracking the low memory notifications and inhibit installing new apps whenever I drop under ~200MB of free phone's memory? I believe this must be breakable.. But how? Please don't suggest moving apps to SDcard as Xperia P has very limited storage for SDcard. Any working solution would be highly appreciated!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Yahia700:
Of course you can but before that your phone must be rooted and after that these is two ways to go :

1st : install app2sd its a app but before tht you gonna need CWM tocbe flashed in your phone for backups

2: install s2e(app) to move all app to sd and leave the 200Mb free ,but you gonna need CWM too and for CWM you need to root your phone so look for root then CWM then install s2e or app2sd i will give you a link to a v8deo later if you want

Hit thanks if i was usefull to you
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bflmpsvz:
Thanks but as I already wrote that's what I can't do coz I'm out of space on SDcard too :(((, so a solution to break the low space alerts or lower significantly the low memory level would be much more negotiable.

From what i know you cant add space but you could trick the phone by creating a ext partition to work like space but that from the sd card so you should buy a new sd card someone else i dont know sorry

Hi all,

So this is my make my phone awesome thread.

But my way...

What it is is this:

I have been reading here and there on this forum and I'm finding it difficult to see the wood through the trees.

I've flashed a couple roms and read a lot..... but...... I'm missing something.

I find I'm more and more intrigued and want to learn more, this is what brought me here in the first place but I'm missing some of the basics I think.

I'm 33, I have no real programming experience, I have worked in It for some years, built a website or two (Joomla is great) and I have a knack with computers and technology.

So is anyone out there interested in taking in taking this on? I need a friendly, but not necessarily short and green, Joda to show me the way's of the force so to say..... either that or the question to the answer 42.....

What I can promise is that I will put as much effort in to this as I can however I do have a full time job a wife and two kids.

The arsenal I have to play with is an:

HTC Wildfire (very much expendable) (running Cyanogen mod7)

HTC Desire HD (also expendable as long as this or either the wildfire lives to fight another day if required) (sock)

Samsung Galaxy SIII (in no way expendable.... but possibly replaceable at some point...) (leaked Samsung 4.2.1)

So now it's up to you. You can either take it on or tell me to bugger off.......

Thanks with best regards.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:
Bootloader 5.17 has an added security 'feature' that makes it harder to write the ROM to SD card or read a ROM from it.

[LG Thrill 4G] bigjonnyd:
Recently rooted my phone. Using rom manager tried to install Cyanogenmod 7. Seemed to work but then got stuck on CM7 load screen. Restored my phone using the backup i had saved with Clockworkmod recovery v6.0.1.9 and everything seemed to be fine but it won't boot past the LG screen and im not sure what to do from here
[LG Thrill 4G] bigfoot.kom:
There seems to be a lot of problems with the new 6. recovery. You may want to install an older version which is an option in rom manager. Perhaps v5.0.2.7. Question, fo you only have one rom backed up? If so it may be corrupted. You may have to use the lg updater tool and upgrade to gingerbread to restore if you only have one rom backed up.

Also if I understand your post you installed cm7 and it was stuck on the load screen. Did it ever boot fully? If not on cm you have to do a factory data reset before booting or it will just bootloop.
[LG Thrill 4G] bigjonnyd:
I did the factory reset and it did fully boot up once briefly but unfortunately the phone ran out of battery and i havent been able to get it past the CM7 logo screen since. While its in the bootloop I can get it to connect to the the LG support tool and start the update process to get it back to Gingerbread but at some point it fails and says it cant connect with the phone. At this point i dont really care what i have to do to get my phone back. I didnt see the option in rom manager to install an older version.

UPDATE:

As i was typing this i retraced the steps and now CM7 is up and running on my phone but so far its unable to connect to the network.
[LG Thrill 4G] bigfoot.kom:
Ok. On the thrill, if you were on gingerbread youll need to flash the cm7 for the p920/o3d. The cm7 rom for the thrill will only get signal for froyo. As for reverting to an older version of cwm recovery, i believe it is an option when you choose in the very top bar of rom manager to flash a recovery. Press that and i think it asks you to choose a recovery, i believe o3d is the choice, than after that the option to pick a recovery should show up. If you do flash an older recovery try your back up and see if it recovers. Hope this helps.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e7t3:
Whenever I switch to record video, the phone switches to landscape mode and I can't switch it back to portrait. Video I record holding phone in portrait orientation plays back sideways. It's it just me?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beakerav:
No, my phone exhibits the same, I think it's a limitation of the Sony video player.

I use QuickPic and then run the camera from within the app, it allows me to record video or still shots in either portrait or landscape then play them back in either mode with functional auto-rotate.

Hopefully Sony will update their video player to use auto-rotate, but more likely one of the talented developers from xda will produce a mod first.

Hope this helps :)
