special o2 sotfware is in the extened rom you can open and remove the stuff you dont want like that icon

or you can look in windows\startup

and remove the shortcut to the o2 thing you dont want

or you can try removing it from the today screen items if thats where it's at

here is how the splash is changed

Thanks for the info Rudegar!

I've attached a picture with the O2 icon i'd like to get rid of.

As for the splash screen, I'll take a look a bit later on since it looks a little more complicated than i thought it might be

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martin919191:
Hello. I've been receving this message "NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" when I try to identify my phone with s1tool. And for me it's a very dissapointing thing, because i've been trying to unlock bootloader so i can flash a new kernel but everywhere I look it says that because of the message i get, i can't unlock it.

So my question is; Is there a way to unlock bootloader, even if I get this message? Is there a (magical) way to flash a custom kernel with a locked bootloader?

Any anwser will be very apreciated and helpful!

After trying out some roms I want to start fresh. I plan on odining back to MDB and was wondering if it's possible to format the internal SD as well. Is there an option in Odin to do that or is it bad to wipe the internal SD?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] s4shyam95:
do u mean phone memory by interal sd ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
Not sure why you would need to format it--just back it up before you do anything

Why back to MD--just curious
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
As far as formatting internal, not sure

I rooted before looking into stock recovery to see if it had option. CWM did on the S3, but I have twrp and it does not have that option

there use to be codes to format internal also--don't remember them

some research needed--but still back up everything and pull ext sdcard before you do anything
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] seanpr123:
I have a similar question, does formatting internal sd also wipe everything (except system) from root (/)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
It'll wipe /storage/sdcard0 and everything on it only. Not sure what you mean by root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] seanpr123:
Kinda what I figured, so I'm curious is it possible to start completely fresh from / or maybe that happens on a ROM install anyway?

For instance under root I have the following directories:

acct,cache,config/d/data/data_1-3,dev,efs,etc,firmware,mnt,persdata,preload,proc,res,root,sbin,sdcard,sotage,sys,system,tombstones,vendor. Along with a bunch of files, many are init.something. I know how to wipe sdcard (as you mentioned above), and system but what about everything else.

Make sense?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Flashing a Rom will write over those other folders.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Agent:
There's really no reason to do this before using ODIN. ODIN rewrites anything in it's way. If there's something it didn't rewrite it's probably because you need that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Not necessarily, I've odined many times and it hasn't touched my internal sd card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Agent:
....what do you mean internal SD card? I guess I'm just a little confused. I know there are many partitions (I think 7 total) but ODIN won't write to all of them. I'm assuming that if you format the internal storage completely it will mess your phone up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
The part where pics, etc are stored /storage/sdcard0. Yea, the other partitions get overwritten when you Odin. And you certainly don't want to try and format those.

Ps, there are closer to 30 different partitions that android creates.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Agent:
Alright yeah I understand what you mean now. Your right ODIN won't do that part, to my knowledge the only safe way to do it through recovery on your phone.

This case has its ups and downs but I overall think its an exceptional case for the price tag.

Pros: Feels premium, looks amazing, feels good in the hand, great design.

Cons: Scared to drop it, weird way to install, doesn't offer protection to back & camera.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] valentinrascu:
Full aluminium is a disaster for wireless!!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] zachpozniak:
Haven't had any problems yet!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] icevapor:
I didn't watch the video with sound yet... but it doesn't look like a full aluminum case... just a bumper (ie, the back isn't covered) so there should be no signal loss. He also stated there is "doesn't off(er) protection to back & camera.". So I think its just a bumper.

There are other threads that show that you have no issues w/ wireless unless you use an aluminum back.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] zachpozniak:
Yes, you're right. It is a bumper case. I've heard even with the full aluminum cases that you only lose one bar of signal so it still wouldn't be that bad.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] alexgarrett:
You never said where you got it from, dude, lol.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] zachpozniak:
Yeah.. I did.. I got it from ebay. I explained that in the video and on annotations. Only reason I didn't post a link is because ebay links change a lot. Just go on ebay, type in Luxury Aluminum Bumper Galaxy S 4, look for a US seller, and look for an aluminum bumper picture with indents on the side of the case. You'll find it. I highly recommend it too btw. I've been using it for a week and it looks great and feels good in the hand.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] alexgarrett:
You said in the video that you were leery of dropping it, does the sliding part feel nice and tight? I'm really happy with my Spigen Neo Hybrid, but I'm a real casewhore, lol. I get bored quickly, so I have to own a lot of options
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] zachpozniak:
After installing it right the second time, it does feel nice and tight. Don't worry I am too ;). Its like 15 dollars with free shipping. It is totally worth it! It does give the phone a premium feel and look!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] alexgarrett:
They're buy one get one half off for the next couple of hours from dz-tech store on eBay! I picked up two for my s4 and two for my gf's s3

Wow you got lucky! You'll love them! Just make sure you take your time when you put the case on and make sure you get it on tight!

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] BBJohnnyT:
Very good review. Couple suggestions... turn off auto-focus on your camera and then pick up a piece of white posterboard stock and a couple of desk lamps at Target or K-Mart. Something along the lines of this. With your existing good narration, your videos will be near pro quality.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] zachpozniak:
Thanks so much for the suggestion! That's a really good idea! I'm testing out ways to improve my videos and give them my unique touch! I want my audience to be pleased. Thanks again! :)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] donatom3:
Yeah but try using NFC with a full aluminum case. There is a reason Apple makes the top and bottom of the back of the iPhone 5 out of glass. instead of it being edge to edge aluminum on the back. Full aluminum definitely affects reception.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] zachpozniak:
Very true! But some people don't even know what NFC is! Some don't even use it. Lol
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] donatom3:
Apple actually puts the bluetooth and wifi radios under the glass pieces on the back panel. So they probably didn't see it as being a good idea to put those under the aluminum as well. An aluminum bumper with a nice glass, polycarbonate back could work well though.

I am a defeated man. I have been on this site for about 10 months now, only now have I been a member the past well few minutes. I have tried for the past 5 months, actually by this point, 7 months, I have been gone on with a bricked Kindle trying to fix it myself, by reading posts and threads and programs. From Linux to Windows, back to Linux and to Windows again, I've gotten close but all attempts have failed. I'm not a person who likes to ask for help, but I got no other choice at this point as I just want to get it fixed and over with and back to normal.

So, here's some back-story on what happened my Kindle.

I am at a lost here. I have tried many different steps and I am at a lost here. I just wish to get my kindle to stock OS that's my goal. I have tried many attempts and all have failed. Jokes aside, where do you guys think I should go from here? I do have the ability to troubleshoot or to provide details that are available to me.

Some further details.. I have a Windows PC, running Ubuntu on it via VMware. As well as an obvious bricked Kindle(Stuck in a bootloop with no recovery and the PC won't pick up the ADB that is installed leaving me at a lost to recover it). Additionally, here are a list of links I have used to try to fix it.

Interesting, I never knew you can JTAG it. I'm not all to fimiliar with JTAG'ing. And if it's anything similiar to how it is on the Xbox, I am not a fan of soldering anything(plus I lack the skill). I can seem to locate any information though on it. I'll keep looking though, thanks.

After looking into it, I can't seem to locate any place or information on it, also, what I did find (Though no information directly to the Kindle) was the Riff Box and similiar stuff, which I'm not dropping $200 that I don't have for a chance it may not work. Any other suggestions?

Thanks for the link, i don't have the Kindle HD that's the only problem, but I'll take a look at the jtag services, if I can find one for $60 or less, It's not too bad to do it rather than dropping $200 to get a new one. If anyone know's of a JTAG service for Kindle Fires, that would be awesome.

Hi guys

I need some help. I dropped my N4 and the frame of the phone got some scratches and i can't find that frame on ebay.

I've added a picture in the attachments and if you could please tell me where i can find this frame. It's the silver one around the screen.

Thank you
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aanonymoushuman:
Is the screen damaged? Usually the frame (bezel) is sold with a new screen. When I bought a new screen for my nexus I bought it with the frame already attached. It is really hard to detach the screen from that frame; they are superglued and you would need to use extensive amounts of heat to separate them. I have never seen anyone sell just the frame by itself; all the time a screen comes with it. Therefore I'm unsure why would you need to replace just the bezel. I doubt anyone would notice a small scratch on a 3mm piece of metal.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daroltidan:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] moeenur:
if your bootloader is locked then repair your phone through pc companion.

otherwise do a fresh install of your rom by flashtool. obviously check wipe data,cache,appslog
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ShinOrochiX:
I appreciate your reply but I have before flashed ICS countless times and flashed many ROMs where I have had to wipe data via CWM (also format the system) none of these have worked. Plus before I became familiar to flashtool I used to use PC Companion/SUS to apply updates. I think it is ICS itself-does anyone else have this problem?

EDIT: JUST CHECKED ON MY BROTHER'S ST15i AND HIS STOCK BROWSER ALSO EXPERIENCES THE FC ON ICS.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] moeenur:
i had problem of touch and some apps gave me fc which were solved by repair phone..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ShinOrochiX:
Thanks for the input. Best thing to do is ignore it, I've just installed Opera Mobile Classic which is faster :), it may not be the same but it works. Also I disabled the stock ICS browser via app manager because I probably won't use it.

u can just flash the .211 rom with the ftf file with flash tool in your XS

u may download it here : http://goo.im/devs/DooMLoRD/xperia_s/LT26i_6.2.B.0.211.ftf
