Yes, I only wanted to see if there was a way to coerce .4 to take. My friend doesn't need S-off anyway, any potential signal improvement would be better. Moonshine stops at one of the times it boots to the lockscreen, so issue isn't at low level.
[HTC First] marv_in_lbc:
So, does the bootloader need to be relocked before flashing back to 1.08.502.1?

Relocked and ruu worked.
[HTC First] SneakyGuyDavid:
Moonshine isnt working for me, it keeps saying adb failure, after Test 2. i know my drivers are good and HTC sync isnt installed just the drivers

Edit: tried on 3 different computers and 4 different OS's , windows 8, x2 windows 7, and Ubuntu 13.10 , they all give ADB Failure after booting from bootloader/fastboot

EDIT: Probelm solved ! i stayed up on the Moonshine IRC and i got the help i needed
[HTC First] G00fY2:
But it still doesn't work with build 1.08.502.4, right?
[HTC First] SneakyGuyDavid:
Try rumrunner , its similar to moonshine , I believe the URL is something like Rumrunner.us . it worked for me. Also when choosing device download just download the universal HTC download , should be first download option
[HTC First] G00fY2:
Thanks for the reply. So your HTC was at version 1.08.502.4? Cause as you can read here, Moonshine doesn't support this, only 1.08.502.1.
[HTC First] SneakyGuyDavid:
When I first tried Moonshine I was at 502.1 but it still didn't work, so I tried rumrunner which worked flawlessly, I'm just assuming rumrunner works on 502.4

Downgrade from 1.08.502.4 to 1.08.502.1

Does anyone have the procedure how to downgrade from 502.4 to 502.1 ? Im (stock) rooted and unlocked and i need to gain s-off.
[HTC First] kamal1806:
Re-lock your bootloader and then run the RUU for 502.1 . You can download it from http://www.androidruu.com/index.php?developer=Myst
[HTC First] xtreme2020:
When i tried i received ruu stop working.

FIXED RUU STOP WORKING BY closing HTC SYNC MANAGER THAT WAS RUNNING.
[HTC First] jianC:
Sorry for the bump, but the download links aren't working.

EDIT: nevermind, it worked after disabling adblock..

EDIT 2: Donated. Keep up the good work!

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EX_RIVER:
(sorry about my chinglish :))

So here's how:I locked my nexus10 and forgot the password, and I do not see the "Forgotten" button on the screen and also I didn't turn USB debugging mode on, so is there any possibility I can save my data instead of cleaning them up? Thank you:) (btw, I deleted the original recover files(because I once booted Ubuntu Touch on it) how can I reset it anyway?) Tanks a lot :)
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dibblebill:
If you have TWRP (not sure about Clockworkmod), "Factory Reset" will leave personal files on while clearing settings, custom apps, etc. FORTUNATELY, there is no way to bypass, other than resetting the device, the password for security reasons
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Pretty sure that's not true, strictly speaking. Unless OP is talking about encryption, flashing a new ROM over top will preserve most user data saved on /sdcard (much to my annoyance).
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dibblebill:
You are correct. I forgot that circumstance. TWRP specifically excludes the data/media area
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I mean, it's useful because if you flub a flash you can use a backup, but these recoveries are not secure and aren't designed to be.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmatty:
USB debugging isn't required for ~all~ USB stuff, so you should try it anyways.

Then, as long as you still know your Google password you can install this to your Nexus, via the web (no log on to device actually needed):

http://www.androidlost.com/

I haven't actually tried or used that program, so cant say 100% it will work on N10 - but "in general" it seems like it should!

:good:
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I don't know if AndroidLost can unlock a device, and he doesn't seem to have lost it either. Unless an app had root/device admin access, I can't imagine that it would have the privileges necessary to remove authentication from a device (since that seems to be the pinnacle of bad security). Secure Settings + Tasker can do it, but you need to set that up beforehand.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmatty:
It says it can:

Lock the phone

You can lock and unlock the phone from the web. If you forget your pincode you can simply overwrite it or remove it from the web
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I don't think this means what you think it means (and I could be wrong). Many security apps like avast! offer a similar "locking" functionality, where the normal lockscreen (whatever security it is) is covered by a second lockscreen, superimposed over all system UI elements to prevent access. This lockscreen is controlled by the app, but it will not affect any underlying security (basically, think of it as a replacement lockscreen for security reasons, not much unlike HoloLocker or Go Launcher's lockscreen).
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmatty:
I don't know man, and like I said I've never tried it. But its a super popular app, and has been featured in write ups. On their main page it states that text, as the fifth "main feature" which seems pretty straight forward to mean "the main lock screen"...
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
No good, sorry. You're right on one count-- I just tested it, and it does interact with the stock lockscreen. Unfortunately, as I said earlier, unless the app is granted root/device admin privileges, no Android app can change the stock lockscreen...and since OP can't get into his device, he can't grant it device admin.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmatty:
Nice on the testing! Too bad about the unlock. Perhaps he can still use it to offload his content though.

Did you try to "push" it to your device w/out installing it direct? I have wondered if I should pre-load this app on my devices, but "they" tout its remote-install-ablity, so I somewhat feel like I would not have to pre-install. (But then again, Im always apprehensive of claims that make things seem super easy.)

EDIT: Hmmm.... I see it requires "SMS" to install this on a device via Push - so I guess it NEEDS to be pre-loaded on a N10 if one wishes to use it to retrieve a lost N10, or even use it in this context! Now to decide if I install this or not...
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I installed direct. I use Cerberus (and before that, avast! Anti-Theft) to help secure my devices, but these things are all a game of chance. My advice: completely disregard remote-install abilities. If you're going to use this kind of service, it really doesn't make any sense not to install it yourself, where you can change your preferences (such as install to /system or rename the application) to work for you.

The bigger problem is that, obviously, six hundred million things could go wrong. I noticed that AndroidLost noted that they were using Google to push messages, which indicates that they're using C2DM (unlikely, it's deprecated) or GCM push services, which require your phone being connected to a network (itself a big assumption) that will allow Google's ports to send traffic. This excludes no small number of places, particularly corporate networks (and many schools as well). It also looks like one of the wakeup methods if SMS, which is not only noticeable (to a thief), but potentially may be intercepted by other apps on the phone (such as an alternative SMS app).

The idea is that these apps intercept and delete any command SMS before any other app, but in practice this doesn't always happen. So test your setup before something happens!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmatty:
Thanks for the info, I will look into Cerberus. I am assuming you would recommend that as you are currently using it? Do you think its better than AndroidLost, even though you haven't spent as much time w/ AndroidLost?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I like it a lot more, but I will admit I personally liked avast! better. Its uncertain future (plus a nice promotion) led me to jump ship to Cerberus. I'd have to play around with it a bit more to be sure though.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EX_RIVER:
Yep, you're right I can't get root under this situation, thanks a lot I'm trying to figure out how to save my data mow
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
It's not root you need per se, it's device admin. But root isn't an easy option for you either, because unlocking your bootloader will hose your data. I also think most of the locked-bootloader exploits require the device to be on and unlocked. If you're signed into your Google account, you should have a fair degree of stuff backed up already-- what sorts of data are you trying to save?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EX_RIVER:
Mostly..........Photos and videos :)
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
...do you have a Google+ account? Slash have you ever opened the app? If so, you might actually be in luck and your data should have been backed up to your Google+ (or PicasaWeb if you prefer).

Hi! I buy this bumper on ebay, and I think is very good choice for galaxy s4. Here the link : http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=300908845468
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] valentinrascu:
Only thing is the metallic frame must to slide on protector or plastic, to noot damage the screen
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] louiscyphere13:
Neat! I wish Taurus would make aluminum bumpers for the S4 ,I loved mine for the s2,..only needed that bumper , screw it on you could take the back battery cover off with the case still on,...made it so easy to switch batteries,..and was very sturdy
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] valentinrascu:
The good thing on this, is the price. Taurus maybe is better but much more expensive and more bulky. No screws on this, only slide frame
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Torabi:
So want this but with a flip down cover to match the old s2 cover...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] alekurkudi:
Does it fit tight?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] valentinrascu:
Yes, it has rubber inside.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] eskomo:
Curious about signal drop with this on. It plagues other aluminum cases and battery covers.

Sent from my SGS4. Go Blue!! Buck the Fuc keyes!!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] valentinrascu:
Is just a bumper. No drop the signal. With battery cover drops.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] valentinrascu:
Update : missing the hole for the microphone on top.. I made it right now. 3mm drill.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Claribelsmith:
though being on work I'm unable to go with the link given here . but surely will catch up it at night .. and if seems suitable it'll get a deal from me..
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] valentinrascu:
There more sellers on ebay with this bumper. This is chipper, and is come with normal screen protector and stylus. Outside off eBay on different sites, cost 29€..Oo..and there more different models on ebay also. From China directly is 8€ only
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] xmsnx:
I'm gonna order one too, cheapest I found so far: $6.57 eBay
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] icevapor:
I dont like the sliding connector thing... the videos ive seen show the slider being kinda loose. I might get one that screws together instead.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] valentinrascu:
Wat about this :
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] v3rn:
I would recommend going with a bumper that takes screws instead of the slide on bezel. The slide on bezel tends to slide off and get things caught in it.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] icevapor:
Dangit... I had made up my mind not to get a bumper and to get the NEO.... now I might have to get that thing.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] valentinrascu:
The slide has 2 dents for lock, but maybe screwed is better
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lambstone:
Look here, I got the red version

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] icevapor:
OOoo thats a cheaper one... don't like the curves though. Xcor3, your good at finding this stuff... can you find one that looks similar to this (could be solid colors or not), that screws together, and is cheaper?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] valentinrascu:
This is all aluminium, and I think is catastrophic for wireless...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] skorzo:
Are you pretty sure?

No GPS or GSM signal drop??
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] icevapor:
nismo35 talked about signal strength here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2309103&highlight=bumper

He said the bumper doesn't effect signal strength.

He also did signal testing for an aluminum back cover here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2300374
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] valentinrascu:
No issues here with the aluminium bumper. The problem is with the aluminium covers..
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] icevapor:

I will probably post my updates in that thread... or a new one.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] v3rn:
Just purchased two bumpers as well. Both use screws. The real Draco bumper is being released Thursday.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] icevapor:
I would never spend real draco price on a case... thats silly expensive.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] v3rn:
Eh. You usually get what you pay for. I've spent the money on $150+ ElementCase aluminum bumpers for my iPhone 5 and they were well worth the money for me. The knock off Chinese ones don't compare.

But I understand some people don't want to spend that much on a case. But some of us don't mind if they're quality.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] icevapor:
The element cases are sweet, but If I only spend 200 on a phone. Im not going to spend 150 on a case. Everyone always says "but its a 700$ phone"... but nobody pays that. Thats just the jacked up price.

Its just my personality... that 150 in a roth ira over 30 years sounds better to me... :p
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Xcor3:
No I don't think its worth $150+. That is way more than what the case is worth.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] valentinrascu:
Unfortunately, I dropped my phone yesterday, from 1 meter I think, and everything is fine. I'm very happy with this bumper for now. The anodized aluminium is easy to scratch, but the phone is ok and the bumper is not deformed.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] icevapor:
That's good to hear your phone is Ok and that the bumper did it's job well.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] valentinrascu:
Draco bumper is out! 100€!!!!!! Good price for them!!!!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ajcmaster:
$ 99.90 for a bumper? Seriously?

As far as I know, I'm still not xitting money. :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] valentinrascu:
That one Chinese aluminium bumper, is always aluminium... What's different on 10€ bumper and 100€ bumper.. This one on the eBay is 15€ and is cut perfectly, and anodized. Draco maybe give free a ducati for 100€ (luck the publicity) :)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] valentinrascu:
I buy also this, gays : http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=221244602663

Very good price. Wat do you think?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lambstone:
It's really good. I have the one in red.

On hindsight, shouldn't have gotten it as wireless charging won't work.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] valentinrascu:
You note same issues with the wifi or 3, 4g?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lambstone:
English please.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] valentinrascu:
I'm asking if you have issues with wifi, 3g signal. (sorry for my English..)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lambstone:
Right, thanks for clarifying your point.

Nope. Only two things that are affected are NFC and Wireless Charging.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Goliath27:
I see lots of ebay and other links being thrown around here, but still need some answers.

1. For a nice, well made Bumper case, should I get the Sliding version or the Screw version. I have a beard, so facial hair beware.

2. What manufacturer or are they all just plain old cases that are made the same? Any recommended sellers.

3. any other comments you feel you should share (like stick to a regular case).
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] valentinrascu:
I buy this http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=221244625191 and this : http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=300908845468 , which I use right now. Issues : install frame may scratch you screen. No problems with my hair here (I have short hare) I put plastic tape inside of frame and bumper. The bumper comes with neoprene inside. Is very solid my s4 with this bumper, but is naked, so for this reason I buy complete one. (back+bumper.)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Goliath27:
Yeah, installation scratching the screen is a no no for me. Not worth buying if that's the case
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] valentinrascu:
Yes, scratch the screen, but only if you use a naked screen. If you put a tape and push the frame, nothing happens.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] valentinrascu:
I'm very happy with this bumper.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Goliath27:
The sides are hideous. Do those things come off or are you always gonna strut your stuff with that.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] v3rn:
Yeah that case is incredibly ugly.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] valentinrascu:
I love this case.. Premium materials, strong feeling
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Goliath27:
Where is that bumper from
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] icevapor:
It looks like it might be one of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/25128869336...eName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

With a little different edge. Aliexpress has a ton of these types as well. Do a search for i9500 0.7mm aluminum bumper or something like that.

It has all the holes cut and a little bit of coverage on the back so that when it lays flat on its back, the camera bulge is not touching the table.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lunarken:
u mean the small tiny hole on top?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] valentinrascu:
Yes, one is ir blaster, and one is microphone.

theres only hole openibg on top beside the ear jack hole.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] coyttl:
S4's have three - From left to right, looking with the ohone facing you -

Earphone, Mic, close to each other, then on the right side, IR Blaster.

That image only shows one hole, where the IR Blaster is.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Goliath27:
The earphone hole looks small unless its wider than the picture shows. But that case is like the others with a proper opening so who cares about that one.

Besides, I decided against that style. Looking for one that screws together instead. The sliding one will rip my beard hairs out and doesn't stay on according to reviews.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] valentinrascu:
Well, I buy already one bumper without microphone hole. I made after but I think many of this chinese bumper are without...

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] v3rn:
Finally got my bumpers from China. And they're actually pretty nice. I have the Element Case Eclipse, so I can kind of compare them to that. I've also owned authentic Element Case Sector 5's for my iPhone 5. And aluminum isn't very high quality, and you can see machine marks on them. But for the price, I think they're actually pretty nice. I'll be keeping the curved one on my phone for now.

I went with bumpers that included metal buttons, I did not want cutouts for the buttons. And both cases have very tactile buttons. They feel great. I also wanted screw on cases. The ones with the front slide aren't nearly as nice and have their own issues.

Here are a few pictures of them. I have a Spigen Glas.tr SLIM on my screen as well. I didn't include a picture of the smaller bumper on my phone, because I didn't really want to go through taking the other bumper off. But if people really want to see it, I will do it.

There is lay on the table protection on both sides, the back plate and the screen won't touch if placed down on a table.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] v3rn:
Sure. I'll get some pics tomorrow. I'm actually using that bumper now. The one I had on loosened up. The glider one feels much tighter and more secure.
