AW: How to perform full backup using ADB w/o touchscreen on PIN locked device (rooted

What about flashing a non touch recovery via adb?

I don't know whether there are some for the n4 since it is a very new device but for my HTC Desire there are some you can control via volume and power buttons.

I haven't looked into it, but maybe the reason they don't support the Nexus 4 is that they cannot supply a micro sim?

Hello people.

I wanted to root my device and install BusyBox but when i update the Super SU binary than my One S reboots.

I have no idea why this is.

Can anyone help me to fix the problem?
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Did you install the Super SU binary through recovery? Are you running Jelly Bean?

If you are, you might want to install that read write patch for the stock JB kernel that disables the write-protect function.
[HTC One S] Specimann:
I have found the fix here :) google was the solvent.

But I still have a question is there a manual to deodexed my rom?

Not sure why the Odin hate, but that's how it's done. The toolkit may be able to push an insecure kernel. Those are your two options.

Re: Link to simplest newest Root method for 4.1.1 update?

+1 on this. You can root with Odin in 26 secs.. or use toolkit. Good luck.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chromium:
Re: Link to simplest newest Root method for 4.1.1 update?

Agreed...Odin is definitely one of the more simpler methods of rooting.

All you do is choose your recovery file and click start...

Then you just flash a root zip in recovery and ur done.

For the sake of not littering up the dev thread and the ridicule of my fellow members I have a quick question. I installed the PACman rom and j would like to flash a new kernel. I follow direction really well and I know what I need to do to flash a new kernel. But in a custom rom I would like to know its safe to do so. And maybe try and flash some mods as well.

As long and I follow the directions that the devs post I should be fine and not brick my tablet.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wargzam:
I'm not rooted, just running everything the way it came out of the box.

Examples of what I mean:

1. Switching users on the lockscreen takes forever. I tap on my user icon...and I wait. like 20-30 seconds. finally my lockscreen pops up and I can unlock the tablet.

2. Auto-rotate can take a long time too.

3. It takes a while for the lockscreen to be responsive when waking the device up.

Things like that. I'm wondering if it's because I have set up two users on the device. Does anyone else see the tablet lag with multiple users set up?

What should I do? I'm not afraid to root it, but I can't lose multi-user functionality so I'd need a ROM that supports that.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcvictory:
Most people with the 8GB and maybe the 16GB had the multiuser lag problem.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
When you switch users doesn't the entire Android layer restart? (I don't know, never tried multi user yet.)

If that is the case, then it is always going to take about 10-15 seconds less than a cold start boot. On my tablet that would be about 20-30 seconds.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Keith:
Auto rotate has a delay built in to prevent accidental rotation. Google made this way too long. Whenever I show someone my tablet they tilt it and impatiently tap it until it rotates. :rolleyes:

hi,

i need help rooting my xperia plat at&t.

the main issue im having is:

- do i need to unlock the bootloader?

when i type the code: *#*#7378423#*#* to see if my bootloader is unlockable, i dont see anytrhing under: Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed

as a matter of fact, there is no rooting status folder at all. hmmmm

then when i put my play into fastboot mode, the light is green, not blue. im holding down the back button. thats the correct one right?

i just want to flash a rom, thats all.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luxxuor:
First of all the entry in the Service menu is for the bootloader and has nothing to do with rooting your Phone. The bootloader is comparable to the bios in a pc. What you want, is to gain access to the root fodler of your device which is read-only by default.

Holding back puts the device in flashmode not fastboot-mode (which you dont want). Green=flash Blue=fastboot

Easiest way to root is to use flashtool: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1351299

You need a custom kernel that's usually included with the CM/AOKP roms that is loaded via kexec, or wait for Myfishbear to make flashable oc scripts which will allow you to underclock in Setcpu.

So while looking at my inventory request form at work I noticed this saying the optimus was EOL. Either it is or my company is full of s***. I feel like the 2nd is more likely but maybe y'all know something I don't!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Lokifish Marz:
If true, this would make the second phone Sprint has EOL'd shortly after release. This would also make it the second flagship phone Sprint has done this to as well.

This can't be real. The optimus g is our highest selling phone at our location. Also the best spec'd phone sprint has.

That is weird that it is the highest selling device, not that anything is wrong with the LGOG just no one trusts LG and people only want Samsung or Apple. I can tell you that it is the complete opposite with Sprint.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hellot1M:
That's just our location Lol. We blow through our shipments within a few days and have to have other stores transfer their optimus g's to continue selling here.

Umm, that isn't going to be great for development. At least we can be happy that our phone is rare or will be. Maybe that will drive up the price.

The OpG is the best phone on Sprint at this time, so unless LG is dumping us for a shiny new model EOL on the OpG is just insane.

EOL meaning of End of Life?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Yes end of life, no more official support, no more updates, no restocking the device, when they run out that's it.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] megamaster2:
Well that sounds really really depressing..
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kc_exactly:
I am having trouble wrapping my head around it. Usually my logic is spot on. I have came up with these theories. It either had something to do with the Samsung or HTC phones coming, poor sales, or a conflict with LG. I am just guessing.

The hardest thing to grasp is that the hardware is really the best. But, the HTC with be a superior phone in specs.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
LG has a history of this. They release a phone with buggy software, get a sh!t ton of compliants then instead of working to fix the bugs they take your money and run away to the next piece of crap they want to sell. Even the nexus 4 is having issues with crappy screens and other issues and LG isn't trying to fix anything. Googles going with Motorola for the next nexus which is what they do, drop a mfg if they have issue's. Except with Samsung the only reason Samsung isn't making the nexus currently is because their contract expired and Samsung didn't want to renew it to focus on their own device's.

☆SoA: Son's of Android™☆

[Sprint LG Optimus G] _Epic:

I called this months ago! It was LG'S foucus on this phone. Yeah people tried to argue the facts about this phone, but bottom line the phone was a bogus release for us android fans. I dont have time to sit and develop so i go where the best device and the dev is. If you need to ditch this phone do it NOW!! Because it will be worthless!! Which is fact!!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] lensutton:
Well, I have enjoyed the phone while I have it. And, since I got the Best Buy Plan, when I see a new phone I like I will just drop this one and have them exchange it for the new one. One benefit to buying a high end phone on sale and with a gift card program from Best Buy, it only cost me the taxes for a phone. But as long as we have devs keeping the os updated I will be okay.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Lokifish Marz:
Ok guys, this isn't the first time Sprint has EOL'd a phone after six month or so. As far as updates, we have already received a "major update" to JB so any additional updates will probably be security and bug fixes. The chance of us ever seeing 4.2 are pretty slim. Sorry but that's the way it normally plays out.

The whole 18mos thing Epic was referring to is most likely the Android Update Alliance. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong Epic. If that is the case, then try to find any official reference to it after it's initial announcement. I've already been down this path and came up with nil, nada, zilch. Any questions that I have posed has gone ignored and from what I can gather the same goes for tech news writers as well.

With the above out of the way, stock LG software is a dead end. For those having issues with stock, unlock and support/donate/test AOSP/CM as much as possible. Also do the same for efforts to get our phones merged with the Nexus4 code.

Please don't ask me to start another campaign like I did for Moto users. Even though the campain got the word out, in the end there were no updates/unlocks. It also killed any development I was working on and in the end, my itch for deving for months.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] Shelnutt2:
You can do the conversion but I wouldn't risk it. And no one here is gonna support it. Even on att it's not a good idea. Our soc is not the same as n4. People don't realize that, and people don't realize that even between varients the soc differs.

Time is really the only reason we don't have camera. Nfc is working fine for me, but gps it's. Many others are reversed, some neither work, some both work. It's weird, and again just haven't had time to iron everything out.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] Scotty_Two:
This is interesting. I think I might be jumping ship from Sprint (after 11 years) to a $30 T-Mobile plan with a Nexus 4 anyway. It just sounds so good to pay $60 less a month and have a phone that will be updated straight from Google regularly. With Sprint changing their surcharge rates on the first of April, we should be able to get out of our contracts ETF free next month, but we'll see how it goes.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Lokifish Marz:
EOL by carrier and EOL manufacturer are two different things. For example, you can still buy a Photon but that was EOL'd by Sprint a long time ago.

Carrier EOL means that the carrier is under no obligation to provide updates, bug fixes or otherwise. Manufacturer EOL means that the manufacturer would be under no obligation to develop updates, repair or provide parts. Manufacturers can also have EOL status supersede any warranty at the discretion of the manufacturer.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Mindspin_311:
Tell me more about this?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] mrjasenr:
Yeah me too. Sprint in Wisconsin sucks balls!!!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Scotty_Two:
T-Mobile's new plans seem better than Sprint's plan now as well, but T-Mobile offers a plan for new accounts that is $30 a month for unlimited texts and data (up to 5 gigs at 4G speeds) and 100 minutes of talk. There are no nights and weekends or mobile to mobile free minutes, but if you port your number to Google Voice, you can just use that plus a VOIP app that routs all calls over data so you get unlimited talk time anyway.

Sprint is planning on changing their surcharge rate for some services beginning April 1st. And as it states in the Terms and Conditions in the contract that we all signed, if there is a "materially adverse change" we can terminate our contracts without an ETF. I'm following a couple of threads around the internet with people trying to get out using this logic and it sounds like it's hit or miss, mostly due to ignorant customer service reps, but legally it should be a legitimate contract-nullifying change. I'm personally waiting until after the first to try it. We have 30 days from the time the changes go into effect to make a claim.

Combine this with a $350 Nexus 4 directly from Google and I don't think it can get any better.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Mindspin_311:
Using that change rule, are you able to cancel the contract, but still use the service? Or do you have to completely shut down the account using that method?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Scotty_Two:
They will give you 30 days I believe to change service, pay off any fees you owe Sprint, and port your number. Your account will be terminated is what I'm fairly sure happens.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] enik_fox:
If your cool with tmo s*** service. Not to mention last time I checked that plan is only available through Walmart and tmo is getting rid of the monthly 4g rate plans on favor if their UNcarrier model.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Scotty_Two:
We'll see. But the way I see things, I would at least like to get what I pay for, even if it means a step down in service. But living in a larger metro area (Denver) I don't see that being an issue. For the entire time that I've been with Sprint, my bill has done nothing but go up. Sure, I got Wi-Max out of it for a little while, but gee, that went well for them. Now I have an LTE phone with no LTE service and no expected date to have said service (but that's ok for Sprint I guess, as long as a lot of no-name, insignificant towns get LTE first, whatever it takes to make that list longer). Yet I still get to pay the $10 "premium data" fee. I used to brag that I had Sprint and how much less a month I pay than others for unlimited data, but now T-Mobile has less expensive plans, no contracts, HSPA+ with LTE already spotted in my area, a GSM network (which should be a standard in the U.S. as it is in Europe) so that I can change carriers and keep the same phone and use it internationally, plus the ability to use Nexus devices straight from Google, who sells them for extremely cheap.

Like I said, I'm fine with getting what I pay for. I just don't believe that Sprint has the best deal around anymore for paying as much as I do and getting the services that I am for as long as I've been with them. T-Mobile is going in the right direction and I hope the other carriers will notice and follow suit, but until then, might as well join the cause.
