[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Via OTA update? No, typically not because OTA updates are controlled, offered and pushed by your carrier or the manufacturer of your device.

Updates from other regions usually have to be downloaded from the web and than manually flashed onto the device.

If you've received an update and it is causing some things to not work, it could be caused by data left over from before the update. If this is the case, the solution is to boot into recovery and wipe the cache partition(but do not factory reset) then reboot the device.

Hey,

Currently I am without internet and having to use PDAnet+ as my carrier is throttling my hotspot data. As most of the threads recommending it I have found are quite old, I was wondering if there is an alternative that works better than PDAnet+ in 2024 (PDAnet tends to cut out a lot for me).

I've done some searching around already and have found some older threads with adb scripts/other apps, but nothing recent through XDA's search. Any sort of jailbreak/application I could use for this purpose in 2024?

(Verizon Snapdragon S23)

Thanks

Drop me a pm here. I can walk you through something that might work
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If it was ever updated to 4.3 or higher, sadly, no, you probably can't downgrade. If I remember correctly, there is a potential downgrade method in Verizon S3 I535 forum here, that method might work for you, just use your firmware files.
[General Questions and Answers] Scottzilla007:
What if you didn't root your device like that guy did in that thread? Because usually, your phone would get hard bricked if you tried to flash the stock ROM after rooting, but it won't hard brick your phone if you flash something without rooting.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I'm not aware of flashing stock ROM after rooting causing a hard brick. Typically, flashing stock firmware after routing just removes root. Flashing a stock OTA update after rooting causes a brick, yes, but not flashing stock ROM via Odin unless you are attempting to downgrade the bootloader without carefully preparing the device and the correct methods and the correct files following the correct steps.

First of all, is there a way to downgrade the bootloader of an SGH-I747? Second, does the Android 4.0 or 4.1 bootloader use the same binary as the Android 4.4.2 one? Sorry if I'm bothering you with all these questions.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If it's like the other US models, you can't downgrade the bootloader and as far as I know, binary bit is something that came along after KitKat. Before that, it was just Knox and Qfuse as far as I know.

Why are you trying to downgrade the bootloader? The only purpose you could have for that is to install custom recovery and custom ROMs or root the device.

Press shift + right click. Open cmd here.

After that type in fastboot devices.

It will return the device id in cmd

Then type in fastboot flash boot boot.img.

Boot.img is ur kernel

Let it complete and reboot.

Hi

I have a new HTM H9503 MTK6572 based android phone. I cannot add APNs, the menu option is there but when I tap it, nothing happens...I am new to android also ...does it mean the application is frozen ?

Tap "Install" then accept the permission. Wait for the app to download and install on your Droid. When you see the check-mark icon appear in the notification tray at the top of the screen, drag down the tray and tap on the notification to launch the Facebook app.

3

Enter your username and password for Facebook when prompted. Wait for the app to log you in to the Facebook servers. Tap the menu button on the phone then press "Settings" on the touchscreen. Scroll down and press "Sync Contacts." Choose either "Sync All" to pull all your Facebook friends to your Droid, or "Sync with Existing Contacts" to only pull Facebook information for contacts already in your phone. Press "OK," then the "Back" button on the phone. It will take several minutes for your contact data to sync.

Recovery for LG G2 (D802.A6DEBK)

Hey everybody,

I am trying to find out whether there is a recovery program for this variant of the LG G2, which is being sold in Germany:

Model number according to Amazon: D802.A6DEBK (I have not purchased it yet)

I found a thread regarding a recovery program for the LG G2 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2449670).

However, it seems to me, that the 4 options there are just for variants of this phone, that are sold by carriers in the USA and Korea.

I would be very grateful if someone could help me with finding a recovery program for the LG D802.A6DEBK.

USB driver

I have an I9505G (Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition) and am trying to install the USB driver.

I have downloaded the Android SDK, and when I connect my device in USB Debugging mode, it prompts me to install the driver. But, when I point to the directory, it says no driver found.

I'm running Windows XP 64 on my desktop. Nobody loves XP 64, not even Microsoft, so I assume this is the problem. Any confirmation on this? Is there any workarounds?

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] cognitivedissonance:
EDIT: Do this if you haven't yet - (from this thread)

> Download and install Android SDK tools.

> Run "SDK Manager.exe" from wherever you installed Android SDK in previous step.

> Under "Tools" section select "Android SDK Tools" and "Android SDK Platform-tools". Under "Extras" section select "Google USB Driver."

> Click the "Install" button and wait for installation to complete.

> Exit the SDK Manager program.

EDIT: Ok now I'm not sure if the sdk drivers are enough, because this thread has a link to Samsung drivers

If it's not working, this is what I've done in the past.

Click on the popup that says it's installing the new hardware. Open up Device Manager (right click Computer > select Properties > select Device Manager in the upper left). Look at the window to see which components didn't install correctly. Find one of those components in Device Manager, right click it and select "Update Driver Software" > "Browse computer for driver software" > Browse to the C drive > check "include subfolders" > and then hit next. It usually scans for a minute or two, but it does find and install them. Repeat for any others that didn't install correctly. It would be quicker if I knew where they were installed on the computer, but I do not and the search does.

EDIT: I should note two things - 1) I have a Motorola device. 2) When it's trying to find and install drivers right after I plug the device in and I open up that window to watch and see which fail, I notice that the dialogue says stuff about looking online at windows update... I'm a bit concerned that some of the drivers actually do install from windows update, because frankly, I don't trust windows update to handle drivers for other hardware (they have a bad track record with this). I've considered going in and trying to re-install all the drivers via the above method, but I'm too lazy and I haven't actually had any issues yet, so I've just left it as-is.

Sure, if the phone rebooting is related to the ROM your running now it can fix the issue.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Too bad, so sad. You may not want to lose your data but it is your only solution. If you were to have had TWRP custom recovery installed on your device or if the device was rooted, you could have easily solved this without losing your data. But, now you can't install TWRP or root the device. At this point, pretty much your only solution is to factory reset your device.

In the future, don't be so willy nilly and inattentive when screwing with your device, be absolutely certain of what you are doing BEFORE you do it and you won't have problems like this. If saving your data is important to you, you will heed my warning in the future.

You may not "want" to reset your device, but, there is an old saying that goes like this:

"Want in one hand and take a crap in the other then see which one fills up faster."

Sad, very much so.

Will factory reset remove any locks on my phone? What about my SIM card? Will I be able to call my friends and let them know I'm still alive?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It will reset the device to factory standards. It shouldn't cause problems with your SIM unless you have to manually program your APN(Access Point Name) settings but that is typically taken care of by the service providers system but there is a small chance that you'd have to manually program APN yourself but is easily remedied if you call your service providers customer service/tech support, they can walk you through it.

Unfortunately TCL doesn't seem to have any failsafe mechanisms for a lot of their products so what should just be a simple recovery, might actually be impossible.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
TCL is a rebranded from Alcatel, it did use to provide the firmware, to download directly to their device, through its proprietary tool, actually they provide TCL Mobile Upgrade, consider that more brands don´t provide a tool to unbrick its devices, but intended to solve some minor issues, and for upgrades.

See if you can download the firmware, using the tool, and "spy" on where they store it, onto your PC, then probably you can use it through other tools like SPFT, and/or mtk client.
