managed to get cm10.1 back on it. Relocking and unlocking the bootloader seems to have reset the /data partition and let me have access...

Softbricked it by attempting s-off. Neither method works for me. With revone i get fragmentation error. and moonshine just tells me to start it again and READ lol
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herwegan:
So the problem is solved?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Postal Dude:
solved in as much as the phone works again yeah.

Would like it returned to stock again soon so will attempt revone one more time ;)

Out of curiosity, how did you "soft" brick your phone?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Postal Dude:
After relocking bootloader to flash correct firmware.zip for moonshine it broke my CM install and wouldnt let me mount sdcard or data. It also wiped out my nandroid... so stuck with a bootloop and no way to factory reset or flash new zip.

Unlocking and relocking seemed to fix it
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WestAussie:
Ok folks, there's probably a thread on this somewhere, but I haven't found it yet, and frankly I've got plenty to do as it is, so forgive me for not making a thorough search.

Anyhow, I've managed to crack the screen just above the home and app buttons, which is a pain, but **** happens. I've noticed that on eBay the screen + LCD combo is around A$140 while the front glass alone is only A$27. Now, since the Lcd isn't damaged, that kinda looks awesome, right? Except, I haven't found any instructions on how to replace the front glass alone with out ****ing with the LCD too. Anyone know?

Plenty of vids on YouTube on how to change the combo, which is a bit of a pain in the arse compared to other phones. All I want to change is the glass. Any help would be much appreciated.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fahadsul3man:
use a hairdryer for loosening the adhesive to separate glass and digitizer , being patient is the key but there is a good chance of messing it up
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pietro_spina:
It was my understanding that the screen assembly was next to impossible to disassemble without damaging the other layers of the screen. It seems hard enough to separate from its housing I can't imagine the difficulty in de-laminating the glass from the digitizer/LCD.

I just replaced my front with the combo part from etradesupply it was pretty expensive but 0 hassle. A couple of screws later and I moved to the old main board to the new front part... No heating no heavy prying.

Good luck with your fix.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WestAussie:
Didn't you have to heat the battery to move it when you did the swap? My fear is ill damage one of those wafer thin ribbon cables in the process too. Just looks like a mission of a job from the vid I watched on YouTube. Would hate know how much a tech guy would charge though.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pietro_spina:
Mine had a battery.

This is the part I bought.

OEM LG Nexus 4 E960 LCD Screen and Digitizer Assembly with Front Housing and Battery

from this page (they ship out of Hong Kong)

http://www.etradesupply.com/lg/android-models/lg-nexus-4-e960-parts.html but it appears to be out of stock now. (Maybe I got the last one)

Like I said, it was pricey, but i couldn't risk me screwing it up further since I run my architecture firm with this phone. I was looking for a minimal down time solution because the alternative for me was just buy a new phone in a retail store the next day. Not having access to the lower parts of my screen was seriously limiting. I slogged away for a week using all sorts of work-arounds to activate the dial pad, use parts of the keyboard etc while I waited for the replacement part.

This guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZDAIgwbXk4 does not show the heating stage but he is so freaking calm, it can't be that bad... Do remove the main board before prying on the battery if you go that route...

-p
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pietro_spina:
I just want to add, for anyone finding this thread, that the part I got from etradesupply.com has some pretty obvious yellowing of the screen. This screen was either removed from someone else's n4 because of this defect or taken from the reject bin at the factory.

In the future if I have any breaks, I will sent it to an LG facility.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleuiko:

I picked up a HTC One XL for my parents to replace an aging 5 year old Nokia candy bar that could autoanswer after a couple of rings while you drive (2009 honda accord factory bluetooth) There seems to be no autoanswer option in the standard factory firmware, HTC Taiwan have confirmed this. Does the Cyanogen 10.1 or 10.2 mod enable this as an option? Or does the One XL remain a psuedo dumb phone? Cheers Monty

Hi all, does anyone, Moderators have any idea if CM10.1 or 10.2 enables\supports the BT handsfree in car "autoanswer" function for the HTC One XL?

This is so disappointing for a smart phone.

Please don't tell me there are apps that do this because I cannot find any after an exhaustive search, HTC confirmed by email its NOT part of the current software on the phone. HELPPPPPPPPPP.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twistedddx:
I doubt anyone is using an autoanswer mode. It certainly is a fringe feature few would use.

I just use a bt headset in the car. Easier to push a button in my ear than accidentally auto-answer the phone for relatives I don't want to talk to lol. Can't say I would see a real use for that... just my opinion though.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] moneyvirus:
Hi All,

i've got a weird problem, first of all i got root acces and unlocked bootloader.

i made a nandroid backup of my standard LG rom and tried a lot of different roms (carbon, CM10.1.2 stable, CM10.1.2 nigtly)

but every time i get the same error,

no simcard dected please turn of the telephone place simcard and reboot.

but my simcard is in place when i put back my nandroid backup everything is fine.

but i'm still on the standard LG rom.

first i thought maby my bootloader wasn't unlocked propperly but i can flash kernels and i have cwm running.

please help me out i really would like to use the great roms for the dev. here.

Greetings

[LG Optimus 4X HD] moneyvirus:
Ok a little update.

i got something weird. i got cwm running

i thought i had my booloader unlocked propperly but...

if i do first

adb reboot-bootloader

than

fastboot oem unlock

i unlock the bootloader and take out battery put it back in reboot in recovery flash everything i want start up.

and it works. no errors at all.

but.... when i reboot my phone it looks like the bootloader get locked again because after reboot the error gets back again no simcard dected.

maby anybody could help me out with finding out how to fully unlock my bootloader?

i really think its a bootloader error.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] moneyvirus:
Thank you for your reply

the weird thing is when i look in the hidden menu it says unlocked.

all the comments is see there is people not getting the unlocked sign in the hidden menu

Iam able to flash a custom rom bu after a reboot i think the bootloader is locked again even it says in hidden menu unlocked
[LG Optimus 4X HD] moneyvirus:
Ok guy's maby you got tiered of my messages but i hope someone is willing to think together with me.

like i mentiond in my post above a got a simcard error when installing any custom rom.

i tried these things.

first complete factory reset in hidden menu and lg-update tool (after installing with LG tool all my apps where still there?)

check if my bootloader is unlocked in hidden menu and it's unlocked

reroot my device

install cwm

install custom rom ----> no simcard dected.

i'm still thinking it's something with my bootloader so.

what i did install custom rom.

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem unlock

reboot ---> simcard dected and i got connection.

but after a reboot i got no simcard dected again.

when i do

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem unlock

reboot

again the simcard is dected.....

so as long is i don't reboot my device it's possible to run a custom rom but if i reboot accedently i've got no simcard acces..

maby i try this? to fully clean install

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069723

i'm getting desperate.....
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
For whatever reason it seems like your phone isn't actually unlocked. I'd roll back to official JB, root and do the whole unlock procedure from scratch to make sure it is done correctly.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] sam214:
Was your phone SIM unlocked by default or was it on some providers network? Had faced similar issue when I routed my Desire HD which was on AT&T network. Had to patch it with superCID and all started to work fine. Try looking into SuperCID for your set . I hope this helps.

Also see if it works well if original ROM is installed again.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
We don't use SuperCID on this device (I'm used to that from my old Desire S). The 'official' JB with bootloader unlock route is reported to have provided SIM unlock as well, but I can't verify as my device was unlocked when I got it - I never buy network locked devices.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] moneyvirus:
Thanks for the reply's

as far as i know i've bought a unlocked phone non branded (on stock rom it accepts all different simcards).

i did a new rom install with the LG-software and i did re-root my device and i installed cwm agian. but.... all my apps were still there, so i'm unsure if it was a real fresh install.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069723 maby i have to try this....

if i use the offical command to unlock my device it say's welcome to fastboot.....

when i use the unoffical way it keeps saying your device is allready unlocked....

but as mentiond in fastboot commands

(bootloader) secure: yes

(bootloader) unlocked: no

what does that bootloader secure mean? when i look in the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069723 it says's off...

thinking and trying really hard.

:silly:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
Official bootloader unlock procedure from LG AND the one that works for everyone ;)

I couldn't get this method to work, so ended up using the 'alternate' method (the one you have been trying), but this should be the way to do it.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] moneyvirus:
thank you tomorrow i'll try to get a complete clean install of my JB by flashing it manaly with .kdz files.

when i do this right now

adb reboot oem-unlock i get in the welcome screen of fastboot and no unlock option.

(i think it's because it should be unlocked?)

but first of all tommorow try to get a complete fresh JB, maby first rollback to ics?? and than flash again JB?

will try a bit tommorow.

if somebody else got some great idea's please shoot them here i'm willing to try almost everything.:silly:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] sam214:
From the security and unlock status, it seems obvious that the phone is still locked... Don't know how it is allowing custom ROMs...:confused:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] moneyvirus:
nope i don't understand it eighter, but i can't get in the unlock mode again....

so maby first revert back to ICS? flash JB again. and try again.

the weird thing is the rom accepts custom kernels....i've tried to flash werewolfjb kernel and iodak and it doesn't give any error as long as i'm in the stock rom...

greetins wim
[LG Optimus 4X HD] sam214:
That seems like a good idea... If you have original ROM backup, restore it and start from scratch...maybe things get a bit clear then..:)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] moneyvirus:
ok did a rollback to ICS but forgot to put back the simcard and when i did i did it the worng way :eek: big big dummy mistake.

tomorrow new try and after i installed a fresh JB ill install a fresh CM10.1.2 fingers crossed
[LG Optimus 4X HD] moneyvirus:
ok small update,

i've tried to install some custom roms after i did the whole flashing and rollback to stock.

i got EternityProject's CyanogenMod 10.1 for LG Optimus 4X HD running with data connection BUT... at the first start up it showed again no simcard dected. after playing a bit i saw there was an connection and i were able to surf on the internet on my mobile data.

i did a reboot and i saw again no data connection but after like 15 secconds there was it again.

so it looks like it's worken with some little hiks but it works :)

maby it needed the complete fresh install.

i'll wait until kholk finishes his android 4.3 project so i'll give that a try untill than i'm on stock rom with Optimus Prime 2.53 and i love it i got 2.5 hours screen on time.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zibri:
I searched for this and I could not find an answer, so I ask it here.

On i9505 (Galaxy S4), the stock recovery says it can update from sdcard.

Obviously a signature is checked in the official stock recovery.

I guess the signing key is not public but held in a samsung safe.

What I wish to know is WHAT original file can be updated in this way?

Are there any original ones around?

Thanks for reading.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zibri:
anyone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zibri:
really? did I make a so difficult question?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nasty_z:
The stock recovery is programmed ,of course, to only allow flashing of update zips with specific signatures. Such zips aren't available to public and thus aren't available on the net. The reason why we root users flash custom recovery is so that we can flash custom zip files made by us and our developers. Those update zips aren't included with specific signatures and so we're able to flash them over to our phones by the use of custom recover such as Clockworkmod recovery. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say here.

Why do the manufacturers do this? It's to protect the users from messing up their phones and then coming up to them to repair them through warranty. You see, when you flashed something through the stock recovery you haven't really void your warranty. But the minute you flash a custom recovery or root your phone, you have void the warranty. That's because now you have gained the permissions to mess around with the system files and modify them at will. Which can result in amazing tweaks which enhance the experience of android or a phone that doesn't turn on.

I hope I've addressed your questions.

Also, this is the wrong section and the wrong device specific forum to post on.

You should have posted your questions regarding your device in your device's forum under the Questions and Answers (Q&A) section. Please post questions regarding this device there next time. ;)

Sent from my GT-I9500 using --> Arrow ROM <--
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zibri:
I know that. What I am asking is if there are any of those official zips around. Was that feature never used?

That was the reason of my question. Thanks for your answer, which might be useful for other people.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nasty_z:
I already told you. Those zips aren't around. Plus, the signatures used in those zips don't allow them to be flashed to all parts of the system. That's why only zips like some supersu zips can be flashed through stock recovery. Those are also device specific. So not every stock recovery would allow them being flashed. That's why we use Cwm recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zibri:
Yep. But I wanted to inspect the stock recovery way to handle those zips. So I wonder if there is any ZIP that works with stock recovery of a samsung galaxy s4 i9505.

Hello all,

I am very sorry to be posting this as I am sure it has been covered somewhere else but I am in a fix.

Next week I am going to be staying in a house that is being renovated therefore it has all electrics and stuff but no phone lines. However I need interenet connections as I am researching for masters dissertation in a week I have got off work.

I have been looking into 3g and GPRS data cards but them seem unreliable and am worried that I just will not be able to download and research PDF files quicly enough. Also with all that research the cost could mount up.

I am also unsure of any wi-fi hotspots and do not currently have wi-fi software.

So what do you think is my best option, I have an XDA 2 an IBM Pentium 4 Thinkpad, and if necessary I will have to speand money.

Please I have looked through the forums but I am a total novice, I just about managed to change my O2 Settings on the XDA to allow me to run it on Orange, other than that I am clueless about setting up the XDA as a modem, either through USB or Bluetooth.

So whats the best, most reliable and most effcient cure for this problem?

Many thanks for any help and please believe me your help is greatly appreciated.

By the way I will be staying in postcode area CT20, hopefully this will help with anyone who knows wireless speeds or 3g/gprs connectivity.

Thanks again.

James

[Networking] Rudegar:
gprs speed == Theoretical maximum speeds of up to 171.2 kilobits per second (kbps)

umts/3g speed ==Theoretical maximum speeds of up to 2Mb per second

wifi well guess it would depend on the hotspock (max 11Mb/sec though and i dont even this that the xda2's sdio slot can reach those speeds) or heck if the guy next door have his own wifi network you can talk him into getting access to it

(of cause if you get a wifi card for the laptop then you could reach a max 108Mb/sec depending on the wifi network connected to)

about how you go about setting the xda2 up as a modem o2 and tmobile and orange and all those have pdf's describing how you do it
[Networking] millwalljim:
Hello again, thanks for the help but got a problem, downloaded the zip and put it into drive c: but when try to open it just says this does not provide the information.

I do not have the XDA disk, got as far as searching for modem software but no recognition of extraxted zip file you specify,

Am i missing something or do i need to use the exe file?

Please help am I getting closer or am as I feel a very long way from getting this working?

Thanks again for any help

[Networking] somynex:
rather ironic, but i was in your same position last year.

I never managed to get the wireless modem working, but i have several storage cards, and a card reader, so i merely used my O2 gprs, downloaded what documents i needed onto my pda/storage card (using something like netfront--free version is good, paid verison even better), then used the card reader to transfer it over.

don't know if this is much help for you, but hope you get your problem solved.
