DOOOO ITTTTTTTTT !!!! :D

On a serious note, i bricked my nexus somehow a while back and these guys were able to fix my phone , they are very trustworthy.

BTW they do have international shipping too

EDIT: just checked , its 105 dollars in total for a repair, you have a couple choices: you can sell your phone for pieces (there is high demand for screens since everyone is cracking theirs, and as you know it doesnt work after being cracked), you can find someone local to repair, and your last choice is to just take the bullet and pay 105 dollars (+ shipping from your area to them) to send and repair your phone.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Neefy:
I'm sure there's another way to fix it bro.. It can't be that hard. Just search around
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Bloodflame:
Yeah, don't remind me.... :rolleyes: (been there, done that)

But on a related note, sounds like a JTAG is definitely in order. If you're comfortable learning how to use a JTAG yourself, I believe they're about $150-200. You can fix your phone, and keep the JTAG to start fixing other phones in your spare time. After a few repairs, it would pay for itself! I've often considered going this route. Something I've thought of doing is buying bricked phones for cheap, fix them with a JTAG, and resell them for profit. Could be a fun little business and you'd learn a lot about several different devices. Look up the RIFF Box or Medusa Box - definitely do some research first, if you decide to go through with this. Just a suggestion at the very least...

Does this really work and how?

If its good enough, I am rooting my nexus today! :D
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Firekostas:
Just to let you know.if you bought your device from the US Google play store and not from a third party seller then you have a full warranty coverage everywhere in the known world:).

A friend of mine purchased it from US play and got it bricked like you..he called LGs service desk here in Greece and told them that his nexus won't boot for no reason.with the imei number they cross checked that he had a valid warranty and a courier picked up the phone from his house and then returned him a new one three days later! If this works in Greece I can't see why it won't work with you.just call your country's LG service and ask a question.but don't tell them you bricked it when flashing a Rom for another phone:banghead:

how about download mode? If I remember correctly it's vol up + vol down + power all at the same time.

---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 PM ----------

he was lucky. Even if I got a N4 from the US play store and brought it back to Malaysia, LG Malaysia will NOT accept the warranty. It happened to some of the forum users over here.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] SneakyGuyDavid:
They have a YouTube video showing how they do it , they have to take your phone apart , and hook up wires to a JTAG box , and the box connects to their PC and yeah they use software to manually flash a stock image for your nexus

Well actually he was not lucky since that's what he was told from LG.he was just legible to do that.in Europe you can use your warranty.

My friend bought a Nexus 7 back to China and the screen died within a year. She called Asus and they just handed her a new one. I can't see why LG would behave differently.

Call them yourself and ask. It doesn't hurt.

Nice, enjoy it! Make sure you flash a n4 ROM :rolleyes:

we got two HTC Desire Xz from two different cities. I was using custom ROM and my friend used stock ICS ROM. Strangely, same problem happened to both mobiles. While watching pics stored on sd card, it restarted and never came out of boot loop again. Both phones are dead now. Isn't it strange??

Maybe you both use an app (pic viewer) that cause restart of phone; or maybe both use a low quality sd card...

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] flintanis:
I have just downloaded the rom upgrade off the O2 website (ver 1.60.50) and installed. Initially it was trying to connect to the internet! Eventually I got it working, but after hard resetting the version still says 1.60.00wwe, Rom date 12/03/03, extRom ver 1.60.50 - all as before.

Does anyone know if the upgrade has actually worked but the info not been updated, or does this mean that the update hasn't worked and I must have had an error somewhere?

Any help, advise appreciated.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] flintanis:
I thought these forums where to help each other out and provide information. It is disappointing that no one wants to help, or provide a little guidance.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bob190cm:
Absolutely nothing changed?

I thought it's not possible? Did you see a progress bar on XDA's display during the upgrade? if so, the memory has been accessed, so your rom is the new one, there is just a mess in identification. As far as I know, extROM changes the identity (it is it's main purpose), did you use it?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BRosenow:
flintanis said:

Maybe I'm wrong - but it seems that you are upgrading

from

1.60.50

to

1.60.50. Right? As such, everything WOULD be the same!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] flintanis:
I did see the progress bar, and the documentation

before

the upgrade on the O2 website sugests the Rom to be 1.60.00wwe and the extRom to be 1.60.50

I would have expected the actual Rom to now be 1.60.50wwe.

Has anyone else managed to upgrade to the official O2 ROM that is on their site and can confirm the ROM info? Also what apps etc would confirm that it has been upgraded if the info hasn't been updated but upgrade has work?

Many thanks for help and advice.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bob190cm:
I'm not sure, but doesn't higher number mean later+better ROM?

If yes, have a look at 1.72 by T-mobile - there should not be many differences! :lol:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] flintanis:
Since I have only just bought it I don't want to upgrade to an unofficial ROM in case it invalidates the Warranty should anything go wrong with it. May look at using a ROM from another supplier in a few months though.

Can anyone confirm if the ROM ver should be changed?

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Shadamehr:
You need to give people time to reply mate - we don't LIVE on these forums you know.

Anyhow, to answer your posts, yes, you have worked it out, the O2 ROM update, which is described as 1.60.50, is actually just the extended ROM element.

The system ROM is still 1.60.00

This confused me, and no doubt, lots more people too, and it's a bit STUPID of O2 to describe it this way.

Thus, you have in effect flashed your XDA2 to the exact same ROM it had before hand.

Curses to O2 for the confusion. Not good of them!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] flintanis:
Thanks, and sorry for being impatient :)

O2 need to sort this out as I have done a ROM upgrade that could have fried my machine if I did it wrong that was unneccessary.

Thanks again.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BRosenow:
Well, O2 is not alone in this - the current i-mate ROM is listed as 172126. The ROM version is 1.72.00, but the Extended ROM is 1.72.126.

I think they do this for internal tracking purposes. They get the ROM from MS, but they tweak the ExtROM themselves. It is possible for them to release multiple ExtROM versions in the same ROM version, so THAT is what they specify.

Make sense? Just a stab in the dark as to the logic of the release numbers. :)

Download an app like root checker to make sure you are still rooted.

What kind of recovery are you using on your phone?

You should wipe the phone completely, system, cache and dalvic.

Try doing the factory reset, check for root and

follow the instructions from the original thread

.

As stated earlier, make sure you download the correct Gapps for the ROM you are installing.

Also, you need some type of file explorer, I use Root Explorer. You can use that to search for the Gapps.

If you downloaded it on the phone it may still be in your download folder if not look in \system\app folder.
[General Questions and Answers] c0ldp0ison:
Hi everyone, I managed to fix the Gapps problem, however, now I have a problem with EVERY rom i install, i have tried Slimbean and Crashrom but I can't seem to get the EFS to work, i backed up using efs pro and an efs backup tool but it wont restore, so I have no network coverage, so i end up having to keep going back to ****ty stock, I have ended up going back and forth 18 times!! people say about baseband, but i don't know how to change that...

hi

im planing to get droid dna dont know will it be chinese version or some else so my question is is there an difference in unlocking it and is it possible to root all of them?
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
The firmware version 1.15 can be unlocked by the user. Phones now ship with either 2.04 or 2.06 firmware at least from US sellers and Verizon.

There is not an exploit for the 2.04 and newer firmware so if the phone has been updated before its unlocked, there's no way to unlock it using only a PC, it requires JTAG access to the motherboard.

Its because Verizon patched the security hole that we were using to hack the device to allow unlocking.

JTAG is a really nice alternative though, especially if someone who has JTAG access like a cell phone repair shop, is local for you. If you don't have it done locally you can send the device via mail/post to have it unlocked and shipped back to you.
[HTC Droid DNA] Night5talker:
will this be fixed anytime soon for PC unlocking?

I don't remember the name of the boxes but as you discribe the box that supports the 9100g it shoukd support the normal 9100 just update the box software.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Unless you know what you're doing, don't try using a riff box or attempt a JTAG. Take it to someone who has already done hundreds of them. If you mess it up, you'll end up needing a motherboard replacement, and even worse, if you're careless with the soldering iron preparing to JTAG, you'll bork your phone beyond repair.

Be smart.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] testadeferro:
Riff boxes generally don't use soldering. Just a usb filter. And if someone as a riff box knows how to use it. Same for jtag thats even complexer. This yes uses soldering and don't advice that. But the riff boxes are ok. I've used two of them in galaxy s and galaxy s2 like child play. It's not dangerous when you know what you're doing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
That's right, when you know what you're doing. 95% of people on here (n00bs) don't, it's the whole 'if you have to ask, don't try it' thing which clearly applies in this person's case. I mean, they didn't even have the wherewithal to make an EFS backup which could have fixed this problem fairly easily.

If they're smart, they'll pay someone to fix it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] testadeferro:
Yes but i don't think he owns a riff box. Someone he knows owns one. But needs some updates. And maybee can help him. I don't think he should do it be himself.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgtkeroro:
Well, the advantage with SGS2 is that you have a lot of aftermarket support. What do I mean by aftermarket support? You have lots of accessories to choose from, ranging from battery to cases and screen protectors. Unlike Alcatel, you'd really have a hard time in buying accessories, because it isn't as "hot" like the SGS2. And with Samsung you'll enjoy stable updates, though the support will end in JB 4.1.2., but hey XDA and Cyanogenmod can help us with that. And remember when you're going to buy SGS2, get the GT-I9100 version, not the other variants, which are specific to certain locations. You could also get the SGS2 Plus that comes with JB 4.1.2. right out of the box, the only difference is I think the hardware inside.

C. Install custom rom

========================

. Turn on ur phone now then keep pressing volume down to enter CWM.

. Standard operation before installing new rom :

- wipe data/factory reset

- wipe cache partition

- mount and storage -> format /system

- advanced -> wipe dalvik cache

- advanced -> wipe battery stats

. Now install zip from sdcard -> choose the UHD zip file, and follow the instruction in aroma. After finish don't reboot yet.

. Unchecked the reboot in aroma, after finish, u will be back in cwm.

. Now install the wifi modules first ( usually the custom kernel have their own wifi modules).

. reboot system.

. Finish

Please Help!!
