[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] chrismcnally:
When face unlock does not work on my stock ics LG Optimus L9 I just enter my pin and all is well.

I decided to remove face unlock and pin unlock and change to swipe to unlock. When I go into settings, I tap on lock screen, then on select screen lock. It asks for my pin, i enter it and hit next, it says "wrong pin"

I know it's not the wrong pin because I unlock my phone with it 20 times a day. I always use the same pin for years. It seems like a bug but it sucks because now I am stuck with face unlock.

Is there anyway around this or has anyone else experienced this problem?

thanks

Do a HARD RESET. It will solve your problem.

Tried to root, flash rom, now stuck at "This build is for development purposes only"

Hey guys,

I tried rooting my phone, and I rooted it and installed TWRP, etc. However, I tried to install a ROM and now it is stuck at the "This build is for development purposes only" screen.

I can boot into the bootloader, and when I select recovery, nothing happens. Is there anyway to use fastboot or something to restore my device? I made a backup before I rooted.

Please help! I'm also a noob, so please explain everything!

Thank you, I hope i didn't brick my phone.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] youkosnake:
Did you wipe before you flashed the ROM? Try booting into recovery via terminal. If that doesn't work try reflashing twrp and then using boot loader to get to recovery
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] evilhugbear:
Reflashing TWRP and flashing my backup fixed it.

Thanks! I thought I bricked my phone!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] CNexus:
Nope, in a "brick" situation, the boot manager gets messed up somehow and the phone will not boot up at all, not even to show an error message. It effectively becomes a fancy paperweight.

In a "soft brick" such as your situation, the OS encounters issues for whatever reason and cannot get into the OS. This is characterized by the phone bootlooping, getting stuck on a splash screen, getting to the boot animation and freezing, pretty much any time when it will power up but will not go into the OS.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] evilhugbear:
Cool, thanks for the info! How difficult is it to accidentally full brick a phone? Just curious, I've heard that it is not common any more.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] CNexus:
No problem, always glad to shed some light on things :thumbup:

Well, how hard it is depends on the device. For the different carrier S3's, its really common because people keep flashing roms made for the international S3 (because they dont read that the model number doesnt match up) and brick their phone. This happens because the misc partition on the international lines up with the boot partition on the carrier-specific S3s so essentially the phone is trying to boot from information that is 1) not for that phone and 2) not the right type of information.

But apart from the international/carrier-specific rom scenario, it is very hard to brick your phone now. One almost sure-fire way to brick your phone (on any device) is by pulling the plug on it halfway through flashing/updating firmware (radios, touch screen software, stuff like that), or by flashing corrupted firmware. Also accidentally writing incorrect information (for example fastbooting a recovery to where the radio or boot partition is) can almost guarantee a brick.

As for the One, I'm sure that "help, phone wont boot" posts will start showing up here in about a month or two when the general buzz has died down some. More people are gonna start rooting their phones, not reading, and innappropriately flashing international roms on their carrier-specific One.

EDIT: Look, not even a month yet. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2248629
[Acer Iconia A500] Mafvtapatio:
Hi, everyone...

I need your guide/help with my Iconia A500.

In January it "bricked" (stuck on Acer Logo), I sent it to Acer Support because I tried to flash it but failed every time (and I stucked in APX mode only), but I haven`t warranty, so they only said me "The motherboard is broken, your tablet never turn on again, the repair will cost you 500 dollars" (aprox.)... I didn't accepted the reparation because the tablet cost me 350 dollars (aprox.)... yeah, Acer logic.

When they returned me the tablet I tried to flash it again with APX Flash tool, after a few tries, I could flash with bundle 3 and installed an HC stock rom... the tablet works fine, until I tried to update to ICS (through the Android Update Menu), then my tablet start to update, the proccess finished, but never boot, it stucked on Acer Logo.

So I reflashed bundle 3 with APX Flash Tool and I did it again, the tablet turned on and worked very well... thinking it only was a random error or something like that, I tried to update to ICS again, but this time the update proccess repeat and repeat (the screen with the progress bar) like 3 times and then stuck again in Acer Logo... so I tried to reflash again... but I can't do anymore...

After a nigth of tries and research, I concluded that I messed up the table partition, when I tried to flash with APX mode it stuck in "Formatting 4 (or 6) partition, please wait" and manually with nvflash it shows the "0x120002" error.

What can I do?

I know it isn't a hardware fail, because the tablet worked fine although in Acer Support said me it never work again...

I really aprecciate any help you can give me... thanks!

(Sorry for the long post and my bad English).
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
It's a hardware fault!!! Sooner or later it will die 0x120002 error.

Install a new motherboard 50$ on ebay

Or just live with hc...
[Acer Iconia A500] Mafvtapatio:
How can I "just live with HC"?

I tried and tried to reinstall it, but I couldn't even flash the bootloader...

What should I do to install HC again?
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
thats the thing with a h/w fault - with the acer its the memory chip, there is no fix except a new mobo - it may already be fried if you cannot flash anything.

I figured if you managed to go back to HC before you could do so again - seems not! Even if you did manage to get something on there, it will happen again and again until it dies. For the sake of $50 I know what I'd be doing...

Is there a launcher out there that gives me these features.

Besides the features Nova and Apex offer I'm looking for more options. Go Launchers offers some unread badges but you cant enable it in accessible settings on 4.2.2.

Unread notifiers. Unread badge on all apps installed on my device.

Apex has external notifiers but they don't work at all. The dev said u need to have the other app dev change there API. What a mess.

Nova only does gmail,sms,calls.

I need Kik, whats app, gmail,sms,phone call.

I was able to use nova and missed it and get what ever I wanted for unread badges but since I use a pebble the pebble notifier app takes over the missed it and it dont give me unread badges anymore.

SO is there a launcher that works with other apps for unread badges? Yes i need unread badges.

Hi guys,

i uploaded the new Jelly Bean for Xperia Go in ftf, in case anyone of you might need this.

i put thee files in google drive and split them into 55 parts (10mb each). it was so plenty because there are numbers of my friends in my country desn't have decent internet quality so, it was to ease their burden downloading 500+mb ftf file.

anyway, this is unrooted.

and you need flashtool to flash.

I think the region was hongkong or at least, similar with the one munjeni used in .54, because i was using his when i plugged mine into pcc and get update notification.

here is the link

Jelly Bean on Google Drive (55 parts, 10 MB each)

2. When flashtool ask connect your Xperia, just go to \Flashtool\firmwares. In this folder you should see folder called "prepared"

3. Extract all .sin file in JB .ftf file to this folder ( replace all .sin in this folder with JB .sin file ).

4. Now connect your XGO ( don't forget to keep press Vol - until flashtool recognize your phone in flash mode ).

5. Happy flashing......

That's the android 2.3.7 for St27a from Thailand, I flashed using flash tool, (make a backup of your stock Rom first, very important) and suddenly when I connected the phone to Pc companion after flashing this one... THERE! A message saying that there was an update for my phone, to my surprise, the jellybean firmware.

Now I'm using jellybean and well no issues so far, remember do a backup of your stock Rom.

Remember you can use flashtool on rooted, or non rooted phones. The important ting is that you make your ftf file from your stock firmware, so you can in back to it if something goes wrong (using flash tool of course). In my case, I didn't made the backup and had to look very hard for this solution to be able to use pc companion and sus again.
