You do not need to patch the fxz, just load it into RSD and go. Just read the first link, it has all the need to know about flashing an fxz in it.

I Keep getting a Flash failure on MBM, MBMLOADER, lbl or System. After trying to revert back to Stock 4.0.4 :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
Darn, the same thing happened to me 2 days ago, a flash failure that is. If you're able to get into ap fastboot still then you can try again to achieve a successful flash. That's how you generally overcome flash failures which worked for me.

[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
That almost definitely means you are using the wrong files. make sure you have the proper ones for your version of the A2. it must be the ICS one too, no way to get to GB if it is an ATT phone.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Biom4st3r:
Problem is fixed. This issue was the battery was dying I had to MAcGyver style charge my battery
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
Yup, that's a classic! Glad it all works, and inn the future, never start something that could brick you without a full battery. This has screwed us all at some point.

Haha i will keep that in mind. Thanks :D

Well my fiance had her S4 for 3 days and now this. My son through the phone on my kitchen floor and this is the result. She had a snap on casemate case. Now i know its my sons fault for throwing the phone. Hes thrown my note 2 plenty of times. Hes thrown her S3 plenty of times and never had issues. I know the S4 is alot lighter then those phones so i wonder if anything was sacrificed. Anyway filed a claim with assurion and makin her get an otterbox or ballistic for now
[Galaxy S 4 General] fortesquieu:
I'm sure you'll get lots of comments about, "it's high damage resistance, not damage proof".

[Galaxy S 4 General] backyardpyro:
Thats so sad. :crying: I dropped mine from about 4-5 feet onto gravel. It landed vertically striking the bottom of the phone near the mic. Just a small scratch is all that came from it. From the way I understand things, lighter weight would help to prevent the phone from breaking by limiting the amount of force that the glass had to absorb. striking the corner of the glass is the weakest point on any phone as Gorilla glass 3 is build to withstand more direct force without cracking. I suppose you could call that shear stress: The force applied when you press on the screen. The result is that the corner of the phone is without a doubt the weakest point due to the force absorbing properties of the glass as striking the corner absorbs the full force of the fall over the smallest area. Once the integrity of the screen is compromised, the cracks spider web.
[Galaxy S 4 General] madpete:
Its just luck dude, you win some, you lose some. I'd keep the kid away from the phones to be on the safe side :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] lorddart:
Seriously sounds like this kid hates phones with a passion I'd keep them far away from him.

He normally dose really well....idk why he threw it he draws on my note 2 fine lol
[Galaxy S 4 General] bmoreboy02:
Well the phones on backorder with assurion. They dont know when theyll have any in
[Galaxy S 4 General] Basil3:
I'm worried about my son doing the same to my phone. When I signed up for insurance, they said I wouldn't be covered for anything like this, as I shouldn't leave my phone where my son can get at it. Very rough indeed.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Terrorantula:
All depends on where it lands.
[Galaxy S 4 General] kreoXDA:
thought I would chime in. As I understand, the Gorilla Glass 3 used in S4 is a new tech that lets the glass be thinner. Basically you get same or slightly worse resistance comparing to S3, but in a thinner layer of glass. It let Samsung decrease the thickness of the device.

Note that the surface of the glass is bigger on S4 comparing to S3, so it is more prone to damage. Buy a good case for your phone!

My preferred case style is a thin layer of silicon or TPU inside with a harder plastic shell outside.
[Galaxy S 4 General] xykosomatik:
back in the old days, when i got my BlueAngel, i immediately got am aluminum case (the one with the window), then a leather fliptop. My sister got a Prophet but didn't get any case for it. I found a good deal for a magnesium Proporta case online, asked my sis if she wanted to get one for her PDA so we can save on shipping. She declined, told me she's always extra careful. Long story short, a week after, got my Proporta, dropped the BlueAngel a hundred times, often times with the case opening and the BA flying away, but then most of the force had already dissipated. But her Prophet? I guess about a month after i got the Proporta, she dropped her Prophet onto the granite floor, heard a crack, and found her Prophet's screen was all black about a third from the bottom. costed her about a third of what she paid for her Prophet to replace the screen.

Cost of the Proporta? hmmm a tenth? Morale of the story, if you invest on expensive phones, consider also a good enough case to protect it. After the BA, i got a Nokia E72, and then a BB Bold, all dressed in Otterbox's Defender. My S4 is due to arrive in a week or so; right now i'm tossing the coin between another Defender or a Seidio Convert. too bad they don't make Lunatiks for Samsung ;)

just my.02
[Galaxy S 4 General] tuxonhtc:
Seriously, was wondering the same. I know Note II has cracked for plenty of people too, and a lot of luck is involved, etc, but - look up android authority drop tests, both Note II and S4 had identical impact and still S4 glass broke.
[Galaxy S 4 General] KillaHurtz:
They have different screens. The gs4 is thinner to bring the actual screen closer to your eyes. The note 2 is gg2 and has an extra layer for the wacomm hardware.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ila420:
Now this is something terrible, after check this forum on daily basis and reading negative things about S4 i just can't really make up my mind if i should upgrade it with my S2 or not, I wasn't expecting it to be this much fragile, during the last two years i have dropped my S2 several times but never faced such issue.
[Galaxy S 4 General] i.amtom:
People with no problems don't have a reason to come on here do they?

I don't come on every day making a new thread like "hey, my phone didn't break today"
[Galaxy S 4 General] ice_coffee:
Just for completeness of fair posting, I would like to point out that my phone didn't break today :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] seltaeb:
Mine too. Neither did it break the last 4 days I had it. I'll keep everyone updated tomorrow ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] boqonx:
No matter how tough the glass is, if you're unlucky and the impact hits the natural frequency of the material, it will still break :P
[Galaxy S 4 General] barondebxl:
Sometimes its just bad luck. The S3 is one of the most fragile phone I have ever seen and if your son threw that phone many times and it didn't shatter then that tells you something.
[Galaxy S 4 General] -]Megacharge[-:
No idea why you let anyone touch your phone at all let alone a child. I feel for you, but you really need to be more responsible with 700$ items despite how damage resistant you expect them to be. No one touches my phone, I wouldn't even let my dad hold my phone...
[Galaxy S 4 General] Tomo1971:
"Build Quality" has nothing, zilch, zippo, nada to do with how the phone resists accidental, or in this case careless damage.

Build quality is the fit & finish of the device, the materials used, the gaps between parts, the way those parts are machined or moulded, the way the glass is polished.

So there is nothing wrong with the handsets 'build quality'.... however, there is something wrong with you allowing your kids access to a very expensive (now) paperweight.
[Galaxy S 4 General] abubasim:
"Stress test by means of baby."

No unprotected phone would have survived that.
[Galaxy S 4 General] tuxonhtc:
But screen being thicker has nothing to do with it not cracking, surely? The outer layer should still crack regardless, right?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Konfuzion:
Nothing personal but your son looks to be about 2 possibly 3 and has no business playing with phones, he had already proven he's not responsible enough to do so anyway right?
[Galaxy S 4 General] KillaHurtz:
You are in no position to tell someone what business their kid has. Period. My daughter has played with all my phones since the G1 (she was literally months old when it released) and has never even scratched one. Your logic = fail.
[Galaxy S 4 General] justkiddinghere:
I think it landed from screen side not corner first

I dont think phone just slipped from his hand he must have thrown it for fun

Or else your luck
[Galaxy S 4 General] Konfuzion:
I'm quite sure my logic is perfect he has already thrown several phones, which I am quite sure proves he's not responsible enough to be playing with phones. I think you have the failed logic.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Basil3:
Don't worry mate, you have perfect logic. I know giving my phone to my two year old is asking for trouble. It's called common sense, and it's exactly why my insurance company has told me they won't cover me if I don't use due care keeping my €600 phone away from my kid.
[Galaxy S 4 General] trueblueram:
He wants the htc one lol
[Galaxy S 4 General] sxi200:
Looking at those cracks and considering the phone had a protective case, it appears that the kid didn't throw it - he slam dunked it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] SlimJ87D:
The answer to your problem could be simple, weight distribution like size and where the center of gravity is, etc. No one has really done any test from what I have seen though.
[Galaxy S 4 General] bmoreboy02:
Its nothin personal i understand where hes comin from. He did just turn 2. Hes had a nabi jr and is very good with tablets and cell phones. He normally ia very good. This 1 time he just happened to throw the phone
[Galaxy S 4 General] FinancialWar:
In the original post you said he's thrown the s3 plenty of times, who's fault is that?

If it was my son, I would discipline him for throwing anything in the first place.
[Galaxy S 4 General] BamAlmighty:
Sure about build quality, not so sure about common sense.

That shattered screen is purely human error, you gave your phone to your child and your child decided to drop it onto the ground impacting it on one of its corners.
[Galaxy S 4 General] qazibasit:
Ur son is lovely :))))

No its not his fault, he just didnt like it :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] SATAN999:
Came home Friday night took my S4 out of my pocket, Screen cracked! It was the only thing in my pocket, in a rubber case with screen protector on it! 1st Crack from top right corner of screen < type shape to bottom of power button, 2nd crack from bottom of volume button to edge of home button! Never dropped it, Didn't bash it or walk into anything as completely sober (before anyone asks lol)! Never treated it or did anything different to it than any other phone ive ever owned, in fact was more careful with it!

Took it into my local 3 store, which just happened to have a samsung rep instore at the time. He said he had never seen a screen crack in that way! the 3 store manager said he couldn't do anything as I pre-ordered online! Three online say I will be charged as it wasn't damaged when i first got it!

So Im also not sure about build quality!

Sorry about the long rant!
[Galaxy S 4 General] vampyren:
LOL my thoughts exactly, you shouldn't give your expensive phone to kids, its not a toy you know.

I have a ipad mini for my daughter in a case but she is not allowed to run around with it! She uses it on table or chair and put it away when she is moving around, you are to blame for not setting rules sorry.

As for quality its just matter of luck on the angle, surface and such if it breaks.
[Galaxy S 4 General] FinancialWar:
no it's not the son's fault, it's usually the parent's fault.

I guess i should clarify that unless the phone has a rugged case on it like a defender or ballistic i dont let him play with the phone. Her phone was charging and she was taking dishes out of the dish washer and he grabbed it and threw it. Im just baffled that the phone broke so easy. Im more pissed off that assurion has no phones in and dont know when theyll have it. So now im just trying to see how much i can get for a phone with the cracked screen bc ill just go to bestbuy and get another one. Im tired of waiting on assurion.
[Galaxy S 4 General] murrowxda:
Same thing with my phone! I have a crack directly next to the power button. It actually showed up when I pressed the button... and the phone was not misused or abused at all. Best Buy would not replace it, so I'm Sending it to Samsung.

Here's a picture of the screen crack in my dropbox link

[Galaxy S 4 General] megagodx:
The problem is the bigger display on the Galaxy S4, which is all encased in glass on the front side. That makes it more fragile on impact. Gorilla Glass 3 is also more fragile than GG2; the latter which is more fragile than GG1. The problem is, they need to stop making the glass so much thinner; despite their claims of retained, or stronger strength; it's simply false.
[Galaxy S 4 General] @xDeepS:
Mine didnt break today. :good:

[Galaxy S 4 General] bmoreboy02:
So to make it worst i insurion still dosent have the phone in stock. I so i guy calls me off craigslist wanting to buy mine for $400. I call bestbuy to see if they price match sprints $599 they say yea. Cool i have $50 reward zone points phone wil cost me roughly $170 after tax. Get to bestbuy they have no clue what im talking about they no longer price match. So i go to 1st sprint store close by. They wont sell me a phone outright. I call 2 more stores both say only on upgrade. Finally the store downtown will sell me one. Meanwhile im dragging this dude around with me. Get down there get the phone switch it over finally where done.

Its well known that the reason sprint dosent like selling phones without upgrades is because they get comission off you signing another contract. As unhappy as i was with sprint insurion is who has me more ticked off. I called up to cancel the claim and they told me know at 1st. Even though they dont even have the phone in stock they refused to cancel. I had to argue with a manager to finally get it canceled.

Excellent Materials and Build Quality

I carefully inspected mine upon unpacking it, paying special attention to as much of the interior as I could see with the battery door off, battery out. Based on the 40 or so top of the line smartphones I've had in the last few years from Samsung, HTC, Moto, Apple, etc, the S4 appears very well done.

I would also offer a friendly reminder that these phones are designed by highly skilled engineers that are perfectly aware of what cell phones are exposed to. They do their best, given the parameters they have to work with, to build a durable product.

Why some users act like experts and condemn the durability based on a few different events which result in damage, only reveals how much they don't understand. I am NOT being critical of anyone, just stating some facts.

Fact is anytime a phone is dropped there are so many variables like point of impact, height of the drop, what it lands on, that it's just crazy to expect a phone to survive without some sort of damage. If you do happen to drop a phone and the damage is very minimal, consider yourself extremely lucky. It doesn't prove that the particular phone is better than another.

It's an expensive, complex, device that deserves to be taken care of. You don't have to baby it, but if you can avoid dropping it, there's no worries.

[Galaxy S 4 General] force70:
My comment was a general statement,not directed at you.not sure why you would think it was?
[Galaxy S 4 General] v1rtu4l:
1) education / parenting ... so opening a thread in a parenting forum "my son throws down things" would be more appropriate

2) the lessened weight of the Galaxy S4 make it less vulnerable to drops, because the laws of physics tell us that the energy (the phone has to suffer from being dropped) is dependant on the mass (weight) and the speed of the object. T=0.5*mass*speed², so you see that a decrease in weight will always lead to a "softer" drop.
[Galaxy S 4 General] murrowxda:
Just to clear this up...

Neither mine, asorsa, or satann999's phones were ever dropped, and our cracked screens are internal; not the exterior glass.

Samsung received my S4 today so hopefully I'll hear from them soon.
[Galaxy S 4 General] asorsa:
the race is on

The servicecenter got mine yesterday we'll see what happens. Let's see who will recive an answer of what the problem could have been first.

unfortunally it is an holliday in sweden today so hopefully ill get an answer mabe late next week.

I have an extra insurence on the phone so if i brake it or drop it ill get an new right away ( wiht a small fee) so therefore im not worried, but now it felt that i didnt do anything that would have cased this.

Let's just wait and see what the experts say :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 General] glynnd:
Hi all,

I've had my s4 now 2 weeks tomorrow, I took it out of my pocket tonight to discover the LCD was smashed. Cudn see nothing in the bottom 3/4 of the screen. Contacted O2 uk straight away and they have another on the way to me. I have to give the cracked one to the courier. They said as its inside the 28 days they'll replace it with out question. They don't even want to see the phone first
[Galaxy S 4 General] SATAN999:
Quick update I phoned Samsung this morning was told their service center has informed them that my phone is fine! I guess they had a quick look saw the glass wasn't cracked and decided its fine without even turning it on or looking at it from different angles! I'll find out more on Monday when I the service center is open
[Galaxy S 4 General] Shocky2:
If your phone survives a drop thank yourself lucky, the problem is people get a false sense of security afterwards and then are surpriced when they're devices get damaged.

I got my replacement s4 from O2 today. Told them on Friday evening thru chat that the screen cracked while in my pocket an because its within 28 days of purchase they shipped me a new one straight away. I just gave the DPD courier the old one minus battery and other accessories
[Galaxy S 4 General] SATAN999:
Samsung have given me a quote for £130 to replace the screen, they say it must have flexed while in my pocket and the LCD isnt as flexable as the glass screen so cracked!

Going to try three under the sales of goods act (not fit for purpose), but they wont do anything until they have it checked by their own engineer!

Wish I had bought it from O2 as they seem to have a much better customer service! If this is anything to go by, three's customer service stinks!
[Galaxy S 4 General] asorsa:
Same answer to me but it's more expensive here on sweden i think its like 260usd to get it replaced :(

Got to take more caution from now on......

[Galaxy S 4 General] murrowxda:
Samsung will be repairing my S4 for free! Originally they noted on their website that the repair would be out of warranty because of the crack in the LCD, but the repair cost was shown as $0.00. I called and asked to speak with their technician's supervisor... He wanted to transfer me to customer service so they could "fix" the price, but was nice enough to talk to me about my phone. He agreed to replace the screen for free, but I think it had more to do with the fact that my phone was only 6 days old when the internal LCD screen cracked, than admitting there were any build quality issues with the S4. I don't even think they opened my phone up; just saw a screen crack, blamed it on pressure, and say its out of warranty.

I'm glad the phone is being repaired for free, as it should be, but I hope this problem wont be reoccurring!

I wonder if any testing has been done comparing daily forces exerted on phone during common tasks. Like pulling a phone out of your pocket... Because clearly phones should be designed to withstand such forces.

There are a million and one other reasons to upgrade from an S2 to an S4, I know that's why I did. I'll live with the fact that it 'may' be slightly more fragile but I bet it's no where near as fragile as an iPhone. Just get a good case and be happy.

I am in complete shock. My phone fell off a table of 60cm onto carpet qnd the screen is shattered. Literally don't know what to say and I have an exam in 5 hours.

Had this phone for no more than 2 weeks.

Utterly disappointed, shocked
[Galaxy S 4 General] GrandStar:
Did you use a case on your i9505? How about a screen protector? What kind?
[Galaxy S 4 General] darrendm:
NeoHybrid case and Ultra Optics screen protector was on it.

It fell from about 50cm but took a direct hit on a usb plug end which was lying on the floor beneath.

Extremely unlucky, first phone screen I've ever smashed. Had the phone for only 12 days which is sad. I'll try and put up a pic later
[Galaxy S 4 General] ftanner:
Let me see if I have this correct, and please correct me if I am wrong.

You stuck your phone in your pocket, a location subject to folding stresses every time you sit down or take a step, and in the case of the back pocket, crushing stress. You didn't have a stiff case on your phone. The phone flexed, as it is a thin phone with no rigid frame. The LCD cracked. It's the phone's fault.

Makes sense to me.....:confused:
