[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GFXi0N:
Hi all! I just purchased 4 days ago my nexus 4 16Gb

Im quite happy with it but here are some questions: I'm just asking them because probably someone else has already gone through the same doubts and probably has some more experience: This device's forums have the fame of being more polite and tolerant than some other, so I hope you guys give me some feedback :)

I come from SGSII - I have ben using CM9 and 10.0 until it got bricked on november 2012

In the moment i received the new phone, i unlocked it, installed CWM Recovery and made a backup of the original ROM, then, installed CM10.1+franco kernel (both nightly)

The questions I have are:

1: Perhaps the low battery life has something to do with the fact that this is my new toy and I cannot stop playing with it, but I'm thinking about trying official ROM+ root.... would this improve the battery life?

2: The camera has been acting weird a couple of times: Once, the image was flickering: a reboot fixed it.... and another time, when i opened the camera app, would get a black screen. Im not very patient.... so I restarted and the problem is gone... Would official ROM fix this?

3: Which features do we have in stock rom that are not present on CM?

4: On stock rom, can you Root/Unroot and then re-lock the phone as if nothing happened? ¿Do you lose data if you do so?

5: There is a lot of confusion about this: When you unlock the phone, the disclaimer says that process "MIGHT" VOID THE WARRANTY..... does it void it or not?, what does that "might" mean?

Overall, the phone is wonderful and I'm really happy, I'm just thinking about testing stock rom but I don't want to lose functionality...

I'm waiting for your advice.

Thanks!!

This method is pretty simple. Flash recovery, flash superuser.zip.

Step 1.

Ensure you are HTC Unlocked

Step 2.

Download superuser zip

Download Recovery Image

Step 3.

Open command prompt where you put the recovery image

Step 4.

Reboot your device to fastboot

Step 5.

Run the command "fastboot flash recovery twrprecovery.img" without quotes

Step 6.

On your phone choose the hboot option then the recovery option

Step 7.

Now in recovery choose the mount option and select mount sdcard

Step 8.

Copy superuser.zip to your sdcard

Step 9.

Unmount sd card and hit the back button

Step 10.

Choose install and select the superuser.zip and slide the bar to flash it

Step 11.

Reboot and profit.

[HTC One VX] ilostchild:
Get a feeling some one gonna ask how to root with this method. Ha, thanks for the updated method for root fast simple and clean..

Question though if the flash twrp recovery could. Any flash straight to a rom with root already? Or need to root first then flash rom
[HTC One VX] jmz:
You could flash recovery then flash one of my roms yes. That would work
[HTC One VX] ilostchild:
Thanks for single handling the Vx, without your support this would have been a dead end low end device

And jcase for s-off
[HTC One VX] raulz28:
Yup
[HTC One VX] Sharings:
This is a proper permanent root correct?
[HTC One VX] mattplo:
Define "proper" and define "permanent"
[HTC One VX] Sharings:
I'm questioning it prior to the old HTC G1, once you ROOTED the phone and flashed a ROM you'd loose the ROOT access.

I've got it installed, it seems to be official and unrecoverable until you unROOT the device itself!

Thanks.
[HTC One VX] Mhjeff301:
Does not work as instructed

Hi,

It's not working.

I'm not a noob. I've rooted my Xoom and GS4 but this method for the HTC One VX is not working.

I've downloaded the 2 files.

Extracted the .zip to the root of C:\ and put the twrprecovery.img in the root of C:\ drive also.

I have my phone set to USB Debugging, and rebooted the phone into fastboot USB mode.

Connected my device.

I launch CMD and then type cd.., cd.. until i'm at the root level of C:/.

Then I type "fastboot flash recovery twrprecovery.img" without the quotes.

And I get this:

'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I've searched other threads and other forums and read that I need to have the HTCDriver.exe installed.

So I installed it, rebooted the computer, and tried it all again and the same thing.

'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Anyone have any answers?

Thanks
[HTC One VX] kalel420:
Are you opening the cmd prompt in the dir where you have your adb and fastboot files you must have the recovery.img in the same folder.
[HTC One VX] fatboyRICH:
LOL

[HTC One VX] debianmain1:
Just checking---do you have the android toolkit installed? If so, you need to put the image in the same directory as fastboot--not at the root of C drive....

I realize that I just re-worded one of the posts above, but at C drive's root won't work.....
[HTC One VX] lateral18:
The files are not in the same folder ,
[HTC One VX] Herox:
What is the reasoning for this extra SU zip? If you install twrp, then reboot into recovery, then tell twrp to reboot to system, it will ask to install SU and then BAM, SU installed, no issues. You just download it.

Edit: This version of TWRP is very old and crashed my phone a lot. Might want to update the link to a newer image 2.6 twrp.
[LG Optimus 3D] ajdin2k:
Hello.

Yesterday i went from 2.2 to pacman custom rom. Phone got jammed up really badly, half things didnt work, including wifi, mobile network etc.

After that i cleaned up via recovery and went to bakedbean. Now here its worse. Instead of half stuff not working, the phone just goes black most of the time and the mobile network not working. (rest working pretty good,when not black screened).

Now, my wife is pregnant and getting a kid any day now and i need to get my phone fixed. After a few hours scrolling on the webs and site, i coudnt find any info, if its possible for me to get back on a stock 2.1 or 2.2 from this custom rom. I need to be reachable for when she gotta give birth >.<

Please help me anyone.

it's simple:

download the kdz of a froyo rom(10b, 10c, 10d, 10e or 10k)

flash it with lg flash tool

Here guide and link for the kdz
[LG Optimus 3D] ajdin2k:
Thanks a lot. When i go to the link, and i check out any KDZ of GB, they all go to an error page, same with the flash package, not available. I found a V30B_00.kdz

file somewhere when googling, should i be able to downgrade to that one?

Regards
[LG Optimus 3D] mut3d:
First off all can i say congratulations is it your first? If so welcome to parenthood

i think the V30.kdz thats going around is the american ics for p920 i could be wrong. If you are american you can grab it and flash it using the kdz update method there is also a v28b.kdz which is the Europe version. Theres is also xbsall's bin file which is pre-rooted 28B (not sure if the v30B has a bin yet) using the bin method all guides are on the forum . Either flashing one will put you on stock LG ICS and will be reachable with the benefits of of ics.

[HTC Wildfire S] DJMaximumJazz:
Hey there forum. I made an account just to ask this question because I just spent 7 hours looking for the answer to what SHOULD be a simple fix. I have a T-Mobile HTC Wildfire S with the US RUU installed and the 1.09.0099 HBOOT as well. Now, I have tried to unlock my bootloader on the HTC website like you're "supposed" to. But whenever I put my phone into the bootloader and plug in it in as in the guide. Then I cannot get past step 8. Because my bootloader does NOT stay in "FASTBOOT USB" It goes back to FASTBOOT in around 30 seconds. I have gotten the command prompts in before it goes back but to no avail. When it is in FASTBOOT USB mode, it's as if it's not connected. Then when it goes to the regular FASTBOOT mode, then my Windows 8, 64 bit laptop (in case it was important), makes the sound that it does when you connect something with USB. Some help would be GREATLY appreciated because I am stuck with this phone and I need some CFW.

Tbh, I dual-boot win7 and win8 just for my phone :/

Seeing how it seems you're just trying to unlock your bootloader and root, maybe borrow a friend's pc/laptop for the 30 minutes ?

[Off-topic] cruisin-thru:
I have 4 different gsm sim cards and was looking for a solution that didnt involve changing sims or carrying a bag full of phones. I saw a product called Super Sim, it claims to be able to clone 16 sim cards on to one "super" sim. I ordered it, ran the sim scan program, it warns it takes 2 to 5 hours to discover the keys, however it seems that none of the UK sims will clone. The makers say it will work, or at least the distributor says they do. Has anybody had any joy with this kind of kit. I saw amother similar item for sale inUK but the guy points out that only pre 2001 Orange cards have any chance of working because of the type used here in UK. The reader writer is capable of cloning the phone numbers from one sim to another, but that isnt the reason I got it. :? Any info much appreciated.
[Off-topic] naack:
u can try sim max. but i dont kow if it works u can try and download the software they provide its free u can download it off the website uprobably have a reader since u ought something or other from someone.

check it out post any results.

i am curruntly trying it i will post if any
[Off-topic] interestingfellow:
maybe a generic universal sim to clone your other cards to?????? I know there is some techy crap about newer style SIMs vs Older SIMs and the way they are encoded...... Very vaige though. SOrry, and good luck!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ox141jf:
Hey guys, i wondered if anyone knew of a tweak or app that allows you to manually focus the camera with a "slider" or something like that.

So not the tap to focus, but rather a proper manual focus slider?

If not, would someone who knows how to wqrite apps make a overlay tweak or app to allow manual focus?

The reason i need it is when taking close up shots, the camera always cycles past the focus point making a picture impossible to shoot

In the camera settings, change focus mode from auto focus to macro. I think that'll help.

I'm facing a very weird problem on my SGS2, using CM9 9.1.0 stable making me crazy. My device go to in deep sleep in 12-24 hrs once when I'm using Siyah kernel while CM9 stock kernel do it once in a day. :'(

I have Googled for it and got this thread where the problem is same. http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/57122-cm9-phone-shuts-off-by-itself/, phone actually doesn't switch off it just go to in deep sleep and start to eat battery like a crazy nut, also I can call on my ohone and caller can hear up the ring but there is no life sighn at that moment in my phone.

How can I resolve this, I have did a clean install but no success, also battery of my phone is just new.
[LG Optimus 3D] odanhammer:
I've looked at the similar threads , to be honest even if one of the suggestions might work , none of the people seem to have the same problem from my understanding.

So apologize ahead of time as i imagine someone has bricked in a similar fashion in some thread buried somewhere.

But have an unlocked P925g lg optimus 3d, got a few days ago.

Last night i rooted just fine , root checker says it was rooted properly.

Then i installed rom manager as i was following manbearpigs post.

When i got to flash clockwork mod , i clicked the button and it looked like it was doing some flashing , but the phone turned off to reboot??

and now when i power on the lg logo appears and then the screen goes funny.

If i try to hold the power down and 3d button , i get a green screen . However i'm very unsure of what to do next.

However when i plug into usb the phone goes black , refuses to turn back on until i take the battery out.

I'd pay someone here if i could , but i'll take any help i can get.

Appreciate any help.
[LG Optimus 3D] Goldenmeadow:
I don't KNOW, but just an idea:

May be your phone is stuck in download mode?

With this latest ICS (original, not ported) my phone shows black screen when in download mode (no message SW UPDATE and something in Korean).

Did you try to plug your phone to PC? Does your comp see it?

From what I read flashing wrong CWM might cause problems...

Also try to read Ressurection thread by xbsa, it helped me couple times :)

Don't give up!
[LG Optimus 3D] odanhammer:
My computer does see the phone if i take the battery out , and push the volume down while it connects. However when it connects , it cannot find drivers that it find originally.

I'd be happy just to have the phone back to froyo right now , however i am not giving up , just asking for advice. Will reply once i look at the resurrection post you suggested.
[LG Optimus 3D] kupuku:
just try the LG flash tool to flash without reinstalling drivers, if it doesn't flash you have to uninstall all LG drivers, reboot your computer, install again LG drivers and flash Bin files using Flash tool, you don't have to flash Bin and fls files at the same time, first Bin file, if there is no network close LG flash, open it again and flash Fls at second time to get the right baseband (sometimes it not necessery to flash this fls files)

or just follow this guide

http://www.technopat.net/forum/android-telefonlari/9128-lg-optimus-3d-ultimate-flash-guide.html
[LG Optimus 3D] Goldenmeadow:
To get to download mode you need to keep battery in, remove sim and SD card. Hold vol+ and plug USB cable. You should see message SW UPDATE and some Korean. My phone now doesn't show it, just blank screen. But LG Flash sees it and u can flash bin fls.
[LG Optimus 3D] Android1993:
Remove drivers and use the LGMobile Support Tool to install the drivers, if your phone is connected it should detect it and finish the install process. I believe the P925G is a Rogers device? You might have to select Rogers as your carrier to find the drivers.
[LG Optimus 3D] odanhammer:
ok so i've deleted all lg related material from my computer, when i connected the phone to the computer with battery in , nothing happens.

Without battery , it detects automatically , then it continues a loop of picking it up and dropping off .

So i moved to my laptop , attempted to follow the guide kupuku posted, however after getting the went logo on the phone , it never gets past that stage no matter what i do.

I've also tried LG support tool , it doesn't detect my phone on either my computer or laptop , even after installing/reinstalling the proper drivers.

LG does have a live chat which isn't open and the phone number can not be reached from my area.. i imagine its a 1800 number for asia or something as i do live in Canada.

My only other choice is to take the phone down to a guy that can get it out of boot loop for close to what i paided for the phone a few days ago.

Least to say , that option is something i want to do , nor can i afford to do.

once again i apprecaite the help that has been given , and for any that will be given.

edit:

Ok so i got lg mobile support to work by doing recovery and entering my imei number. Its currently at 4% but its been close to an hour and a half. Might restart and see if that works , but my phone is doing the logo boot repeat pattern still , even during this update. so not sure what exactly is happening.

I read somewhere in xda that both are same u can flash the S firmware on SL only thing that it will change the Sl into S.And I have all the drivers installed mate..I also installed PCC and it detects my phone instantly but flash tool isnt..When the phone is ON the flashtool detects it at once..Will flashing the SL firmware makes any difference

If that is the problem after flashing this .55 firmware can I still flash XZX2 Rom over it..

Another Ques if i unlock the bootloader all these things are not necessary to flash a custom rom is that right..?

Thanks for the Replies..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
Xperia SL has a different bluetooth version and default clock speed is 1.7GHz. So the kernel is somewhat slightly different. It is safer to flash your own device's rom though. Yes, XZX2 should work on this fw. If you unlock your bootloader, you can just flash a custom kernel, go to CWM and directly flash the rom. No need for workarounds to root your phone etc. Everything is much easier and simpler, though you **may** lose your warranty after unlocking the bootloader.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
Oh and I just downloaded the .55 sources. There are two different defconfig files for XS and XSL. This clearly proves that there must be some difference in the kernel.;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Gripa98:
You have to be running 2.50 to flash XZX2 i have it on Xperia s it also did not work with 2.55 firmware
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
At the top of the rom's thread it is written - " the stock 6.1.A.2.55 rom with the feeling of JellyBean" but installation instructions say to use .50 as a base because .55 is (or should I say was:D) more difficult to root on locked bootloader. So, the best option is to flash Xperia SL's and NOT XS's firmware with Flashtool.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Gripa98:
Yes but i have locked bootloader, logicaly it should be easier on unlocked one. But I agree that flashing of Xperia s firmware is not for sl
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] amiririma:
I have the same problem with Xperia SL! I unlocked my bootloader and cannot flash anything with flashtool. Sony's official flash tool also doesn't recognize Xperia SL!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
Check the flashtool drivers folder and make sure you have all necessary imstalled. S SL fastboot flash etc etc
