I'm aware of that, but at least by making sure the signal I'm outputting through the HDMI cable is the same aspect ratio as the TV, it should ensure that the TV's scaler fits the final picture to the screen without any unnecessary black bars, and that's all I care about. It would be nice if Android had an option to specify the exact resolution it outputs through HDMI instead of just duplicating the res of the main screen, but in the absence of that option, I'm looking for a solution to at least get the aspect ratio right.

Mxplayer is implementing the same thing google play movies has where it will go into "hdmi mode"...

I know this isn't a full fix but it will be awesome for movies...

The exynos5 dual supports simultaneous native wqxga (2560x1600) and 1080p at 60fps through hdmi so it should be posdible to scale...

LG C800

Device will not enter fastboot.

Can't get into recovery mode.

Each time it boots it hard resets. There is an unofficial CWM Recovery Rom on this forum from chui101 which is for this exact phone, but I have as of yet not had any luck in getting the phone to take it.

So far i've tried Flash_image recovery.img (renamed chui's CWM recovery file to recovery.img)

Doesn't seem to matter what I do the phone starts(LG on screen), resets (the LG goes away for a sec then comes back), does a hard reset (a white box with an arrow pointing out of it an to a little android), again resets the phone one last time for a "normal" boot.

I've tried a few different things to try and flash anything overtop of the stock recovery but nothing works. It seems like very early in the bootstrap is a command to do a hard reset and anything that gets put in AFTER that command is ignored. (And the phone hard resets and anything else it was supposed to do is gone.)

Device is rooted with SuperSU.

Phone is fully functional except that it hard resets every boot, and if its plugged in when off it doesn't go to a charging screen, it starts the phone 100% up.

Adb devices CAN see the phone.

I CAN get into Download (sometimes called Emergency) mode.

"reboot recovery" doesn't do anything but reboot the phone as described above.

I can't afford a new phone guys, so I'm over a barrel at this point.

i'll pay whoever provides meaningful help in getting this thing fixed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakstar:
You should start fresh. So, flash the stock rom FTF of your phone, then the phone should boot up normally. Then you could either root it and install a CUSTOM recovery, or flash a pre-rooted custom kernel that already contains a recovery. From there, just flash the custom rom you want

Just press thanks if I helped, no need for money
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dosmastr:
stock rom FTF?

From the factory?

I'd love to do that. But am bewildered as to how when every guide I've found says use fastboot -- which doesn't work on my device. And every guide without fastboot thus far has not worked. I've been reading 10 hrs a day for the last 3 days looking for a solution to this.

If there was a way to completely wipe the entire phone and then install stock rom I'd be glad to do it.... I have found no such guide... only those to replace recovery. (not a 100% clearing as if it came right off the line with no software yet installed)

Additional information:

mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from-boot.p-bak

Spits out a "No such file or directory" error
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakstar:
I don't know about you, but for Xperia Devices there is a PC software called Flashtool to flash stock roms and custom kernels and stuff from the PC. There should also be a software like that for your device. You just download the stock FTF for your phone (just type in google "download stock FTF for LG C800") and flash it in Flashmode that should be working

One more thing, this issue is not called bricked

hi techmasta,

I'd love to flash cyanogenmod, but the phone never enters fastboot to flash anything. The first link you posted says to use fastboot. I can't do that. The phone doesn't goto fastboot, it runs its recovery first.

EDIT: if there is a way to force it while the phone is in download mode that could probably work.

[Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III Developer Discussion ] tpeef:
Has anyone played with the Si4709 chip in a SPH-L900?

I've read plenty of stuff saying that the us variants don't have the hardware, but I thought I'd check for myself.

I built a kernel with support for the chip (using ashton seo of samsung's driver) and loaded up the module.

The driver is only documented in the code comments, so I tried Spirit just to see if it'd pick up on it, but Spirit reboots the phone when started. ;) Sooo... I tried just turning on the chip in FM receive mode, which didn't result in a reboot.

I went over to sysfs and poked through the related twiddles (which there are a bunch of) and didn't come up with anything useful (most things were full of zeroes).

Anyone have any experience with it? Anyone have some sample code that works with the Si4709?

I guess it could be that the phone really doesn't have the hardware, but I'm not sure how to tell at this point.

The Spirit author (who presumably knows all about this stuff) does say in his Spirit thread that this phone lacks hardware, so maybe I should defer to that wisdom, unless someone has an idea as to how we can verify that the hardware is or is not there.

Edit: Here is a kernel with si47xx support if anyone wants to have a go. It's built as a module, so modprobe Si4709_driver to load 'er up.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] askaguilr:
Hi, I've got an i9300 like 8 months ago, it was from a carrier "Claro", from Costa Rica (but not locked), I flashed a Poland 4.1.1 I think it was XXLIB, then I upgraded to 4.1.2, and then I had to flash again to 4.1.2 but with a different rom XXEKC, everything was fine

Two days ago my internet icon was gone, I didn't change anything, today I called my op to check the problem, they sent me an apn config, which I accepted, nothing solved, so I tried to switch to GSM only, and my phone stopped working I can make emergency calls only, my sim works fine on other phones, It's not connecting to 3G neighter. My imei is the same to the one in the sticker, and my SN is not 000000.

Every thread I read was about wrong imei or empty SN, and after a flashing, in my case it stopped working sudenly, I already tried to hard reset and flash another stock rom.

Any ideas?

EFS folder is unique for each phone. It stores IMEI number and other relevant information about it.

There is no way to duplicate it from another unit, logically i mean, because it will be right it. A duplicate from other phone. And the operator can ban your's from registering in their network anytime.

I flashed WanamLite v6.8. After flashing I lost calling facility.

later I realized my IMEI was changed. I was kinda of hopeless. Tried whatever I could have tried for. At last I gave up. I unrooted and made binary number back to 0 and flashed stock firmware. Still I didn't find anything working. I gave my i9300 at service centre. Got it repaired. Thanks for asking.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gauravinvouge:
first of all many many wishes for getting ur phone to work again.few questions if you please me to answer:-

1) how much did the service centre charge you?

2) if you ever flash again do check your baseband(if it's mg2) and build number of rom(if it's mg5),if and if ur rom is mg5 then you'll have to stay restricted to mg2 modem/baseband.

a) if you flash any rom released before mg5 eg mf,me etc your modem/baseband will become unknown and ur imei will not work in that case flash mg2 modem.u can find the link in xda.

b) if u flash any rom released after mg5 eg mh,mi or the ones to come in future then even if the roms doesn't have a modem your modem ie mg2 from mg5 rom will work.

3)having said all this do take a backup of your rom and efs as much as you can.

do answer my first question though.
