[Motorola Atrix HD] dizz232:
Rooted my atrix hd, flashed safestrap, wiped, flashed cm10 and got a bootloop.

Now My battery is low, Cant get anything besides a Motorola logo and "device is locked, status code 0"

"battery low", "boot failure".

Anyway, I have tried booting into recovery with holding down power and volume up/down, no luck.

Anything I can do?

I have rsd ready with a stock sbf ready to flash. I need a working phone!

thank you very much.
[Motorola Atrix HD] dizz232:
And yes I have searched for answers on the net and this forum, among others. the phone won't charge. ugh
[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:

Well, my friend had same prob as u (stuck & battery low with installed safestrap in phone) and here is what i did to help her:

1. Open bootmenu (power+volume up+volume down)

2. Select BP Tools (the last choice) and it will boot the safestrap directly. I saw that in safes trap, phone could be charged normally and I let it be there until baterry was about 25% and flashed.
[Motorola Atrix HD] dizz232:
Open from the boot menu at what point? from powered off? Cause my phone wont turn on unless I plug it into the wall and the it goes right to

the fastboot screen.
[Motorola Atrix HD] dizz232:
any help would be great! I want to try everything before I send it off to motorola.

Hold both volume down and up. I did several times and it worked, of course sometimes it went to fastboot directly, hold power button to turn off and try again.

My phone(e973) can't detect GPS signal. I tried to flash different ROMs(ICS,JB,CM10.1 ...) but it still doesn't work. I installed GPS Status app to support for getting GPS signal but still can't detect any satellites. I tried to hold my phone and my father's phone(HTC One X) and stood outdoor. the phone of my father detect satellite very quickly while mine is not. 2 days ago, I flashed Liquid Smooth 4.2.2 rom at AT&T Optimus G Box.

[LG Optimus G (International)] t1mman:
Since the issue seems pretty specific, I'd go for an RMA, you might have an issue with this phone specificaly.

If you do, don't forget to return to locked/stock/unrooted and remove the traces
[LG Optimus G (International)] galeonui9590:
I did KDZ to return to 4.0.4 stock and I also made a hard factory reset but the problem still isn't solved.

I'm not sure whether or not it is related to baseband because I heard that the baseband manage radio and GPS signal. Do u have any solutions.
[LG Optimus G (International)] t1mman:
My solution, as I told you, is to return it for an RMA, the Optimus G has a 1 year waranty so it must still be covered since it came out not even a year ago!
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
Sorry to see this thread this late,but i have some questions:

1.where from did you bought your phone ?

2.was new?second-hand?

3.is your phone a demo/pre-unit?

I'm asking this because i tested alot of demo/pre units and many of those had gps hardware disabled.

In uour case,i'm 99% surr it'd a hardware problem,has nothing to do with the software.

[LG Optimus G (International)] galeonui9590:
well, a man sold it to me. He've been studying in canada and when he returned for holiday, I bought it from him. It is a second- hand phone because he was using this phone before selling to me..

I don't know wether or not it is a demo but front face and rear face has a LG logo and rear face has the following information:

- LG-E973 FCC ID:ZNFE973

- IC:2703C-E973

- Made in Korea

But when I check IMEI on the Internet, it shows that my phone model is LG E970

[LG Optimus G (International)] t1mman:
You should try to contact LG and explain the situation, I'm pretty sure you do have a waranty even if it's second hand.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
Only if he has the original invoice and the warranty certificate.if not,i'm afraid there is no good news.

He can talk to the person who sold it and ask if he has them,but....

[LG Optimus G (International)] galeonui9590:
I don't have the warranty certificate and the person selling it to me is now in canada. :(
[LG Optimus G (International)] t1mman:
Are you sure of that? Have you tryed it yourself?

IMHO, as long as the IMEI has not been reported stolen, you can have it serviced. I have done many RMA over the years (I've been working in IT's for more than 10 years) and never once I was asked for the "warranty certificate", and only some times I was asked for an invoice (didn't even needed to be original)

Try it, if it fails, then contact the dude and have him scanned/emailed the things to you.

If you can't even try this out, there's no point trying to solve anything else.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
Yeah,i'm sure.But i didn't made myself clear. I asked about papers so he could send the phone to WARRANTY.

Without those papers,it won't be worth the price. Let me tell you why.The mainboard needs special tools to work on.This special tools can be found only at LG or official services.I will look further on the service manual to see if the gps module can be replaced.If it's soldered to the mainboard, without the possibility to be replaced,then he needs the whole mainboard and this will cost about 200 euros as spare.Again,the replacement can only be done in an official service,because the imei will have to be re-writen.

Not to mention the callibration of the screen to work properly on the new mainboard.It is more complicated than it seems my friend,believe me:).

I don't know how can you replace components without proper papers,without the warranty certificate.It's the basic in service :).

You said it yourself, if you can't prove the origins of the product,how do they know it's not stolen and not out of warranty?The IMEI is registered at the operators,not at LG.
[LG Optimus G (International)] t1mman:
Why don't you just let the OP contact them and explain the issue

http://www.lg.com/ca_en/support/contact-customer-support

They can check with the serial number to see if the waranty is still valid. Many company does.

And I'm not talking about sending it for repairs at his expenses, but under waranty. As I already stated, many companys can service a device under waranty only with the serial number.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
At least in Europe this will not work.

Why?because you need to prove you are the rightful owner of the device.besides,in Europe we 2 yrs warranty and it's stated clearly:in order to benefit the warranty,the product must be shipped in the original box,with all accesories,along with the invoice(or any other payment proof) and the warranty certificate.simple as that.

Sent from LG E975 pwd by CM 10.1
[LG Optimus G (International)] t1mman:
Well, since it's a canadian device, you are supposed to go trough the original provider:

"Warranty on all phones is a one year warranty. To send your phone in for service you would bring it to your service provider. (Bell/Rogers/Telus) They will send the phone to us for repair. Your service provider can also assist you with a loaner phone. Repair delays are between five and ten business days."

So, either you try to contact LG and deal something with them or you contact the original service provider to get the info. Anyway, the issue with GPS will only be resolved by getting it serviced.

You can also try to contact your local provider and get an estimate on how much it would cost to pay and get it fixed.
[LG Optimus G (International)] hasan4791:
Wat do yu mean by traces.... Is der ny counter which stores the counts of custom rom installd juz lyk samsung....??
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
I didn't saw any signs.if you use kdz updater,it will erase any trace of intervention.it doesn't have binary counter like sammy.this is a good news.

The bad news is this,lg doesn't offer international warranty.and i know this for a fact.since you live in india and the phone is canadian model,bought second hand,without any papers,no chance this will be fixed on warranty.

I think you should look to sell the phone,add the difference and buy an e975 or keep it and don't use the gps.

The replacement of thr mainboard is just too expensive.

But i still think you bought a demo/pre unit.

Have you tried to download original kdz by imei from lg site?

I had a samsung Galaxy I9220 preunit,it was the same as the N7000.No differences,same hardware,same look,but the gps was hardware disabled.No matter what software solutions i tried,nothing worked.

So, either your phone is one of these pre-units,or it has broken gps module.

Since you don't have any papers proving the origins of your device,you won't benefit the warranty.

So,your choices are those i posted up:either you sell it or you repair it with your own money.

what path to put in directory bind? cant wait to try games I used to play on NOTE 2 using data INT2EXT script.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChronoReverse:
Hmm, it's different from previous devices like the Note 2 and GS3. No wonder the script doesn't work.

Could you look in /storage and see what folders are in there? And then do the same for /storage/extSdCard

If you're feeling brave, have root and have a custom recovery with working nandroid, you could try replacing this line (I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS):

dev_mount sdcard /storage/extSdCard auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.4/mmc_host/mmc2/ /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc2/

with this:

dev_mount sdcard /storage/extSdCard auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc2/ /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.4/mmc_host/mmc2/

after you backup your ROM first.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
Under /storage, I have the following:

extSdCard is just my SDcard, and the T-Mobile version doesn't have custom recovery yet.

Okay, this is the error I'm getting with a modified script. Anyone want to take a crack at it?

The script itself, functional or otherwise, needs to be dropped in /data and you'll need to chmod it to 777.

Working on It also

I've been working on it as well. Samsung has heavily modified the vold.fstab file. They no longer use vold.fstab to mount the internal sdcard storage. We need to find where the file that contains their mounting of the internal sdcard is. We won't be able to swap until we find that file. I am looking....

Any updates on this one yet ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D™:
@OP.: buddy, what i thought is you must do changes in Vold.fstab file first. I know after changing your mobile be lilbit unstable due to system setting & storage crashing. But then you can provide the logcat. Then we can check the same.

The handset payment plan is for 22 months, this gives you 2 months remaining on your contract plan. Allowing you time to consider upgrade options and in hopes you will renew a little early. If you take refund of handset, you are still required to pay an early termination fee for cancelling plan. I wonder if you have to cancel plan?

The "classic" plans have the cost of the phones built into them already. They get the money over the two year contract you sign. The kicker is that Death star and Verizon do this too but what happens when your contract is up and you don't take an upgrade? Does your bill go down because your not paying for the phone anymore? Nope. They keep charging you as if your still paying extra for the phone! T-Mobile has it right with these new plans and they are smart to do it I think.
