[RAZR i Android Development] 1stStep:
Thanks Tamsta_T. Well after factory reset because of the battery which turned crazy, I changed the foolish battery on this friend's phone before I found it was OK and only an update to 4.1.2 made it work again. Unfortunately, I then updated to KitKat which was a big error as it broke writes to sdcard, my friend would scalp me. I found he couldn't store his contacts locally without a google account, and doesn't want too much to have a google account (he got the phone as 2nd hand from his brother from who he got the account, but it seems none of them know what is a Gaccount).

So I thought I could make his phone free by rooting it and I first unlocked the bootloader, but now it shows the boot logo warning and I'm not so sure I can clean that and/or revert to pre 4.4. I'm still seaching for a signed no-warning-logo image to flash because even the stock fastboot prevents me to flash the ones I found (fastboot remains on "Flashing logo... for hours, or E:None signed image detected or E: Downgraded security version for logo, Fastboot command failed). I even found a Europe 4.4.2 backup for KIA20.74 but there is nothing called logo.img therein ....

Okay, thanks although
[RAZR i Android Development] Tamsta_T:
As far as I know that's not possible, unless there is a way to relock bootloader (never tried to so I don't know if that's possible on XT890). If you'll find a way let everyone know - many people where looking for a way to remove unlocked bootloader warning message :)
[RAZR i Android Development] Hazou:
Relocking will not restore the logo. And indeed many have searched for it, few have tried and noone has got it working.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galbatrox9:
Hey :)

Im sick and tired of my marble white s3. So im planning to change my whole body myself.

Now the pevble blue version as per me has alot of variants :

1. One with chrome in the side

2. One with blue chrome on side

3. One with blue on the side.

I want the blue chrome one.

Now I live in India and I cant find the parts here. So im planning to get them from U.K from my relatives.

So I checked amazon n found few links:

1.http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B008CCOGU8/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1366264159&sr=8-10&pi=SL75

2. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00BQTU0KO/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1366264209&sr=8-20&pi=SL75

Now im confused with both of them. So my innitual question is :

Q- has anyone bought the whole body replacement before? And how did it turn out?

After that, ive seen my videos of ppl replacing. The front glass without changing the digitizer. So my second question is :

Q- how hard is it? Can I use a regular blow dryer? And personal views of those who did it about its after effects.

Another question about compatibility :

Q- will the body of another version of s3 fit my i9300 hardware?

And my last question is :

Q- is there a shop like radio shack in U.K where we can buy these parts? Where my relatives can see before buying.

Any help would be smashing.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] sreeman:
Hi guys,

so recently i screwd up my phone and needed a motorola factory cable to fix it. Now that i have it and up and running, i seem to have another problem.

My SD Card is not recognized in the phone. when i put it in my other phone, it works fine with all data there. Connected to my com and it reads it and what not. So i tried formating it again, and same problem.

Tried fastbooting my phone back twice to stock unrooted, and its the same. Tried factory reset, the same..

any idea how can i fix this? Or do i need to get my self a new SD Card T_T

thanks!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TheMrcool212:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] BADDINOROX99:
For some reason it got stuck on write protected mode I've tried putting it in the adapter and unlocking but it doesn't work I can't delete files or add any more files its a 64 gigabyte Micro SD card I can only read files on my computer and when I put it in my phone it says unsupported files
[Motorola Droid RAZR] naifs_br10:
have you checked if 64 gb is supported from what i read most phones only support upto 32 gb, also forget the adapter try using it in another phone and see it could be the sd card is corrupt but make sure to check the phone is 64 gb supported sd card
[Motorola Droid RAZR] myturbo1:
Android 4.0+ supports up to 64gb SD.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] curseshadow:
yeah.. maybe 64gb is not supported..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Xrunner87:
Quite easy.Uninstall the SD CARD and install it again for several times. And it will be ok.

[General Questions and Answers] dev_ba:
Hi guys, i got this used I9003 yesterday and pretty much everything works as expected. its running 2.2.1 (yes, i need to update it), speed is ok... everything but this weird screen malfunction. i read every thread i could find and in almost every case people ended up "deciding" there was a hardware problem.

so, here's what's happening with the screen:

mostly, when i try to start an app it does fine. typing in landscape, fine. swiping through the gallery, browsing... everything fine. the weird part is sometimes the upper part of the screen seems at least partly unresponsive (i mean i need to tap like crazy and it just might respond). it doesn't matter if the screen is in portrait or landscape mode (left or right side up, still the same). it's always the upper part of the screen. the only exception is when typing in portrait mode: then the T, G, and V don't work (when i try to press them, it types either of the keys next to those). i would think it has something to do with that part of the screen (those keys are pretty much alligned), but when i switch to landscape that same part of the screen works just fine... plugging the usb cable makes no difference, neither does the charger: it behaves just the same be it plugged or unplugged. i bet it's just some software issue (i sure hope it is), but i'd still like to hear what you might come up with.

thanks for reading and for your help!

[General Questions and Answers] dev_ba:
Ok, so i've got some news regarding this.

First: i'm sorry, but i don'know how to report the thread... i'm quite a noob :rolleyes:

Now regarding the screen thing... I updated to 2.3.6, and the problem changed: now the part of the screen that's bugging is the middle, both in portrait and landscape mode (from the home hardware key to the top; when i press any point following that line, the input is on either side of it). i found that if i set swipe for writing the keypad works perfectly, even when typing instead of swiping (in landscape, portrait is still messed up), but if i set it to Samsung Keypad it's just as i described in the first comment.

Help please :confused:

Also, if you tell me how to report the thread so they can change it, i'll do so happily

Basically I couldn't get my google account connected as I couldn't sign in on youtube either and i couldn't re enter my google account after removing it... I read that If I would rename the system/etc/hosts file the problem would get fixed. I did that and it worked. Network connection is fine right now. But my hosts file is renamed and there is no hosts file in system/etc atm. Do I need to do something or leave it as is? Will I have any issues not having hosts file there and if so what are the possible issues? Any suggestions?

Hello,

I'm new to flashing and installing ROM on android phones.

I enabled root in this phone.

I wanted to install JellyBean 4.2.2.

After a long search on the internet and a lot of trying I decided to open a thread here.

My phone is Star N800 MTK6575 with Android 4.0.4.

When I tried to install ROM through recovery mode it showed me this:

"Failed to verify whole-file signature"

I tried to install ClockWorkMode Recovery without success

SP flash tool and Odin also disappointed me..

Could anyone help me please?

Maybe I did something wrong, can you please explain me step by step how to upgrade this phone?

Please help me, every answer will be appreciated.

Thank you!

P.S

I think I found the problem.

When I plug in my phone in the usb, when it's turn off and without the battery, I see it in the Device Manager appearing and then disconnecting.

I tried to change the Power Settings but it didn't help. Anyone faced this problem in the past and knows how to fix it?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irectus:
Hey guy's. so i installed Timur's Host USB ROM on my Google Nexus 7 3G tablet. i'm setting it up now and have a very stupid problem on my hands. i know i should be able to fix it, but i can't seem to figure it out.

I installed Gapps for my setup and installed a lot of apps. the apps automatically put a shortcut on my homescreen. the problem is i have apps appearing off the screen of my nexus. seems as though theres an extra row/column thats allowing apps to be placed, but isn't visible on my tablet screen. i've tried adjusting the row/columns to the lowest setting, but to no avail. actually seems like that setting doesn't actually change any settings. whats wrong and going on?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebel1699:
In google play, go to settings and disable auto add shortcut. For the extra rows, i would install a different launcher, like apex or nova.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irectus:
may rssuhy

So what your saying is there's no fix?/I'm not an idiot? I just have to download a new launcher over the 1 I have now?

I've had some experience with apex and know it pretty well. Never tried nova. What would people recommend?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebel1699:
Since I am not running that rom, i have no idea if there is a fix. But, a new launcher would fix it. I never use a stock rom launcher anyways. I always use Nova. I havent tried GO launcher lately, as it was a little laggy after jb. It is probably fixed by now though.

If you post the link to timurs rom, or pm it to me, i will add it to my multiboot and play with the launcher.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irectus:
just fixed my problem. was playing around with it for a little and figured it out. I didn't have "expand windows to screen size" selected and for some reason it was making them bigger. so yeah. that fixed everything.

Dude you don't extract anything or use a computer.. Lmao you just download the file and that is the zip you flash.. Holy hell you made my night man lol. Your way over thinking it..

I'm still unsure as to what extended battery specifically, but I'm looking at either the Hyperion 6200mAh or ZeroLemon 9300mAh - but in any case, I'm looking for a car mount that could fit either extended battery.

I want to limit my purchase to Amazon (Prime preferably), and I'd like this mount to be "future-proof" too, as in be able to use it when the Note 3 comes out (so something that's widely adjustable would be preferable).

And I realize there's plenty of other topics around, but not many mention extended batteries, let alone mention many good choices for docks, and I'd love to hear input from someone with an extended battery.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Arkon Mega Grip because it's side grips are big enough to accept a thicker phone/case. As much as I love iOttie the side grips where not big enough for N2 + UAG. So I went back to mega grip and will use it with Zero Lemon as well.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MohammadAG:
I suggest getting a clingo mount, it holds the Note 2 fine and should hold about any phone.

You might notice people compalining about it not being sticky anymore, but washing it gets it back to out of the box condition.

Edit: one more thing, it holds the phone very well, even on bumpy roads.

And you can stick an NFC tag on the back so it's not visible but puts the phone into car mode.

[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
That is a command to be run from the command lint to put your device in fastboot mode without a factory cable. Once your device is in fastboot, then you can continue with the fastboot commands. If you are in fastboot and you still get "<waiting for device>", you need to make sure your drivers are configured properly.

Hold the power button to turn your device off, enter the following command and boot it up again...

...dose your device boot into fastboot? If so, start over and try again. If not, you'll need a factory cable.

Once you're in fastboot, unplug the factory cable and use the OEM cable.
