i guess i'm wondering why this comment was necessary considering this threads circumstances and the correct information being posted. bootloaders dont kill people. people kill people...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zelendel:
Because it was a good warning. Flashing a ROM should not be taken lightly and flashing a bootloader should be done with alot of care as it can brick your device to the point of needed a JTAG to fix.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
yes, bootloaders are very serious business. just because this bootloader flashed without error does not mean that the operation is not serious. take note, OP.

zelendel, everything in context.

I haven't messed with boot loaders in a long time....my baseband version is already ucdlk3...that's the modem does that mean I would need an update?

I'm on Rogers, with bootloader I747MVLALH1, haven't flashed anything since mid April. Should I use ODIN to flash the I747MVLDLK4 bootloader? I was planning on updating to a newer CM10.1 nightly and just saw that I needed a new bootloader to do it properly.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Domoo:
You need the new bootloader for the newer nightlies to work.

The I747MVLDLK4 bootloader correct? And once I flash that bootloader, will it still work even with my 04/13 Nightly that I have currently running? Wouldn't want flash the bootloader and not have the phone boot so I couldn't flash the newer Nightlies. Thanks for the help btw, really appreciate it!

@ Everyone

I don't have time to screw around. I just tested this and it works fine. I just would've rather bricked my device rather than yours. That's why I like to test all links for these types of things before I promote them off to you guys..

1.) Go here (above posted thread link)

2.) Put phone into download mode and then open Odin.

3.) Choose the PDA slot and then select the correct file for your device (AT&T is LK3)

4.) Hit start and wait until its finished.

5.) Done

5.) Remind me that I shouldn't be trying to do this from my phone. All it does it piss me off.

Turn off BMPS (Set it to 0) in the wifi ini. This should theoretically remove all slowdowns but will prevent your phone from sleeping (with wifi on). Another solution is to download Franco Kernel with Prima Drivers and force wireless G mode in the ini.

Hi

I had upgraded to i - mate 1.72 wwe rom downloaded from i mate club in the month of July 2004. Every thing worked very fine. Now my i mate has started hanging, some times even hard and cold reboot also stops responding. At this time I have to remove my battery for about 10 sec. and replace i mate hard resets. I have even purchased another battery to check if it is a battery problem, but same things are repeated with the new battery also. Even I have tried updating the I mate phone again the process is shown as complete after 5th stage by PC where as the PPC screen says ‘Radio stack being upgraded Please wait’ Please help me in resolving my prob. I am really missing my XDA II.

Was the radio in flight mode on the plane?

I noticed that when the reception is bad (and when reception gets started after leaving flight mode) the radio takes up quite some cpu and/or oi resources from the device. Could be combination of that AND a lot of programs running at that time . . . .
[HTC One X] carbon5000:
Hi all,

I have gotten myself into a bit of a dilemma here - I was playing GTA III with the input method set to "Game Keyboard", and then accidentally pressed the power button on my HOX. Now my phone is stuck with a lock screen (with pin code to unlock), but I cannot enter the pin as the damn game keyboard is set as the input method.

Is there any way to uninstall the game keyboard app from recovery, or a way to change the input method before the unlock screen.

I am running out of ideas, and my last resort is to restore a nandroid backup from a week ago ( I really dont want to do this as this means losing all changes since a week ago).

Any urgent help appreciated.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmix2000:
I am having some problems transfering data from my old HTC Desire Z (flashed to CM9) and my new HTC One (M7).

I follow the instructions, the One creates a Wifi AP; I have installed the HTC Tool on DesireZ device and that app locates and connects autoamtically to One's AP and the proper PIN is visile on both devices. Now, comes the problem, no matter what I choose to transfer, it just jams.

The DesireZ shows a message "Pushing data to your new HTC" and both devices show a spinning circle, however there is no progres of any kid, eventually after a few minutes both phones show a sign (red exclamation mark inside red triangle), however no error is given and the process still seems to be running.

Any idea what this is all about and how to fix it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ALZHEM:
Hi all :)

I bought recently one of those cheap Mini Android PC (the MK808B) and I am trying to setup an easy/cheap NAS with it so I can see my videos from other devices. This would let me turn off my big energy-sucker desktop PC and leave that light small device doing its job. By the way... I am using the MK808B, but the idea is that any rooted Android device would do it.

Until now the progress is big and I can say it almost works... but that "almost" is why I am here, asking for help.

This is what I have done until now:

In the MK808B I have installed:

- Paragon NTFS&HFS+ (so I can mount any NTFS device, in my case a 32GB FTFS flash drive but this would support any big hard drive) (needs root)

- Droid NAS (a free app that does in theory what NAS do, in theory only accessible from Macs and Android devices although that would still be OK since I want to access to those videos from our phones and tablet)

So, once all this is setup and running, I go to any of my Android devices and try to access. To do so, I installed:

- ES File Explorer (to access my MK808B via my WiFi connection)

- MX Player (to play the videos)

And here is the problem: I manage to access my MK808B, I can get into the mounted flash drive... but when I try to play any of the videos, whatever the format, MX Player gives me this error:

"Video problem"

"Can't play this video"

If I click on an image it opens it, if I try to copy files I can... is just playing videos that doesn't work. Could be accessing them through my WiFi connection the problem? Maybe the MK808B is not reliable enough, WiFi speaking? Should I get one of those USB-LAN thingy?

If you could help me I would appreciate it. And also, I think getting a setup like this working would be very useful for a lot of people, who could access their files from any device while at home :)

Thanks!

boot to recovery, that's where it will take you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
I'm seriously not trying to be a ****, but that's pretty useless information. Obviously a factory reset will remove the pattern or password, along with everything else. That would be a last-ditch option... when everything else fails, this will, without a doubt work. Also, to boot into recovery just hold power + volume up. No need to hold the home button, stand on your head, and do a split while singing Hotel California just to enter recovery.

Just FYI, by typing "remove pattern unlock android site:xdaforums.com" in Google, it pulls up many various techniques of doing the same thing WITHOUT losing data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Frankenscript:
My technique to boot into recovery / download mode:

1. Start with device all the way off.

2. Press and hold the volume down or volume up button as desired.

3. THEN Press and hold the power button until the system begins showing signs of life. Samsung logo or whatever. Release power button but keep holding volume button without fail.

4. When you get to recovery or download mode, release volume key.

If that doesn't work, consider you may have a button hardware failure or some serious other fault.

I used to have lots of trouble getting into recovery or download mode, because I tried to press power and volume keys at same time. That resulted in sporadic operation. Doing it as I describe above, starting with volume key, works every time.

Marc
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
You don't need to hold volume up/down before pressing power, but it doesn't hurt. You can hold the power button until the device vibrates and let off. As soon as you feel the vibration, you can then switch to holding volume up until you see the blue text in the upper-left hand corner that says "Recovery booting." Once you see that blue text you can release the volume key and you will enter recovery mode every single time. Same way with download mode. Basically, as long as you're holding whichever volume button you want when the Galaxy S4 splash screen pops up, you will enter the corresponding mode. Also, there is no real need to start from the device being powered off completely. You can actually use your basic power menu (or advanced, depending on the ROM) and select Reboot/Restart and then hold the correct volume key when the screen powers off; although with an advanced power menu the option to boot to either is obviously both there and foolproof :D

I have never understood why people make entering download/recovery mode a lot more complicated than it actually is... I've never had trouble getting into download or recovery mode because it's not hard at all. :cowboy:

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huime:
Hi and greeting to all masters.

I bricked my 920 awhile ago. I was trying to flash and felt asleep when it was around 20% IIRC. Then when I woke up in the morning, its bricked and nothing will work. Not the recovery, not reset button combo, nothing works. So I brought it to the service center, first, they said faulty IC in the motherboard. Technician did something to it, presume trying to replace the IC but didn't work. Finally a senior tech was called over from the HQ and his conclusion is a SW problem and needs to "repartition". Now can anyone tell me what does it mean repartition and if I ever have this problem again, how do I "repartition"? I assume I need to somehow partition the memory, reload bootloader and then WP8?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeVilio:
Hi.

I have dock station EDD-S20EWEGSTD and phone I9300 (4.1.2, 3.0.31-1071725, JZ05k.I9300XXEMD2 No root (yet) ),

It works but screen resolution is crappy, 1280×720 only. Video and YT works on full screen, system not.

I`ve try to change DPI and signal not come to monitor, when I try to change it back - it has bootloop. Now i have new system without root yet.

Questions time (:

1). Can i change screen resolution to maximum resolution of monitor? Is there a file that keeps maximum screen resolution when it is connected to dock?

2). Is there safe way to root phone without loosing OTA? (so far every root attempt take OTA away ;( )

3). NTFS file system on hard drive connected to phone - is there any chance that my phone will see it and read normally?

I dont understand why video can be played on full screen of my monitor, and rest of system cant. I`ve asked that questions on other forum in Poland but they rather dont mess with files in phone and they dont know any answers. Sorry for my crappy english - i dont have many occasions to write here.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ken_tek:
Regarding question 2 )

When you root the "Device status" is set to "Modified" which disallows OTA. However, you can use TriangleAway app to reset this status temporarily and apply the OTA. Applying OTA also usually removes root but it can be applied again right away.

At least this is how I roll with my i9300 :)

3 ) There are few apps that allow you to use external drive with NTFS, just search the Play store. These apps require root. Haven't tried any of them though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeVilio:
ad2: When i have root and TriangleAway OTA still don`t work, only searching updates and nothing`s happened.

ad3: When i have root i will try to search apps that allows use NTFS hard drive file system. But still - root or not root. That is the question. Want to have OTA, want to have root. Don`t know what to do.
