[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mercado_Negro:
I have seen this in 4.2.2 but not on 4.3. Could you please elaborate a bit more? How did you accomplish this with all these new security policies in 4.3? Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spaceman860:
This is incorrect. The best way to update is download the ota zip from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2145848

Go to twrp recovery flash the ota zip then SU zip v1.51 reboot done. Now you got 4.3 with root and you won't lose your recovery

From my BLACKED OUT N4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mercado_Negro:
Sorry if it sounded incorrect to you but what you just suggested, although it works, it is not an OTA update per definition as far as I know. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spaceman860:
When you get the notification saying there is a update on your phone you select it and it downloads flashes the ota zip. What I said is the same thing except you download it and flash it your self and by doing it this way you can flash the SU zip at the same time and not lose root or recovery.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mercado_Negro:
Thanks, your post above made me read that thread you linked and while it works, it's not a real OTA (notification from Google or OEMs), but let's not fall into semantics here, the thing is it works and does the job pretty much like a real OTA. Thanks again, I learned (and downloaded) something new today :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spaceman860:
The zip in the link is from Google. When someone got the notification on there phone they posted the link to the zip it would be the same file if you received it on your phone

From my BLACKED OUT N4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mercado_Negro:
I know my friend :) I'm just trying to say that the affirmation "yes, you can update via OTA using a custom recovery" is not valid for someone getting the notification which is the common scenario for most people. Anyways, it's all good :thumbsup:

If i flashed a really old rom for the 8013 (the version I have) .... after odining old stock, could I get it from there?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] dicktracybrian:
I replaced my car accident-smashed SX56 with another off ebay. Came with 2002 and immediately upgraded to the ROM from this site to try it out (XDA-developers-SER-v12). All okay except the microphone doesn't work, even if I try a headset, and Voice Command refuses to install on this phone. I can call okay but they can't hear me. If I am to return it I need to put 2002 back on.

I have WM2002 installation I got from my phone before but I get error 012: "Rom image that you are trying to upgrade is not compatible with your PPC phone".

Your current device: PW10A1, 3.17 Eng.

Upgraded image: PW10B1, A.30. Please note the STICKER on the back says PW10B1! I do have SD card reader and 512mb card. Please help. Please I've read the forums but I get scared of all the ways I can fry this thing if I do it wrong.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] LumpiStefan:
Model version in ROM is not very good. This depends on the version you've installed. You can adjust the ROMs to do not get the error on upgrading by using a small tool called adaptrom....

Microsoft Voice Command is just working under WM2003 i suppose.....

But if you're microphone isn't working, you shouldn't be able to use it. Have you checked that the microphone is working well?

Stefan
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] dicktracybrian:
Ran adaptROM and a dos window opened for a split second and closed.

Mic and headset were used to test record and do not work.

I can understand Voice command not working.

I can't understand why the pre-made ROM here is for PW10A1 (based off the Q1010)? How was I supposed to know right away the Q1010 is a European model?

My basic goal is to downgrade back to WM2002

without ruining it (current vers. is developers XDA 1.2) . This is so I can return it to the person that sold it to me. Also, I think I know how to do the whole bootload thing.

I will donate to this site if I get good help.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] dicktracybrian:
Ok I got it working with an AT&T rom from yorch website.

Both sticker and software has matching PW10B1 now. The mic must be a hardware issue becuase it still isn't working. At least now I can return it.

I sure loved those XDA programs with the SER 1.2 ROM. Maybe I'll try and upgrade it again if I get another.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardrockcaffe:
I want to edit the icon of my status bar and I have three questions about this:

First: I have to edit the SystemUI.apk or the Framework-res.apk? (because in systemui i dont have battery icons, but yes wifi and etc); And in framework-res i have all the statusbar icons.

Second: I have to edit the .png images with patch 9.png or something?

Third: All the images to replace have to be exactly the same size of pixel? or 2 or 3 pixel more high or width doesnt matters?

If you can help me i will be really gratefull.

Sorry for my english :P
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Yes they have to be the same size. There are no .9 pngs for the icons. And yes you have to edit them both

Navigate to Settings > Apps, and enable the option which lets you see all apps.

Then, you scroll down the alphabetical list to Google Services Framework, open it up and tap Clear Data and then Force Stop.

Then go back and check for an update by going to Settings > About > System Update.

It took me 3 or 4 tries to get it to show, but it works!

[Xoom General] killswitch23456:
Okay, so why is it bad? It won't hurt anything on your device. They probably don't like it on their end because they want to control the rollout.
[Xoom General] runandhide05:
Doing so will cause problems with your Google account and services.There have been many reports of people not being able to update or install apps, etc., after doing this. Also the dreaded Google Play [RPC:S-5:AEC-0] error.

Do so at your own risk. But its been heavily covered on xda and anywhere else.

Won't install

I have A Verzion 3G Xoom did what was suggested and it worked perfectly except.... When it rebooted to install it got about 1/3 of the way through and I got the triangle with the ! sign and the Android robot standing underneath it? It is a rooted,unlocked Xoom. I was just wondering if anybody had any ideas why it won't install??

Is there a way I can get the verizion data widget in any custom roms? It's the only reason why I wont flash any, I need the widget.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
You can download the My Verizon app from Google Play, but it may not work on non stock based ROMs like Cyanogenmod.

Here is a 3rd party app that lets you login to your Verizon account and then has its own widgets that look the same as Verizons.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pbanj:
if all you are looking for is something to tell u how much data u have used there are way better aps and they tell you in pretty much real time unlike the verizon app which u need to hit the refresh button
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PantherVT:
I can confirm that the My Verizon app works on Carbon
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aviwdoowks:
It is a widget . Create one on Xperia launcher, for example, by a long press on any homepage to get to customize/widgets.

Once myverizon is installed.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xblastgatzx:
Will the Verizion data widget work?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jco23:
works for me - but I think VZW doesn't allow it to automatically update (you have to keep pressing the refresh button) due to the change in pricing structure with the share everything plan (even if you don't have that plan).

what helps for me is getting the text/e-mail alerts when my data reaches a certain threshold (50%, 75%, 90%).

also, your phone can track that in the settings.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xblastgatzx:
I forgot about the data tracking in the settings! Thanks, I'll just set a limit where my data will turn off when I use a certain amount. Thanks for the help.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] farees107:
I have an HTC Incredible 2 for Verizon version 2.2.1 and its is GSM Unlocked. I use GSM not CDMA. I want to root my phone to get the venom rom and version 4.0.3. I was able to get S-OFF on my phone but I am having problems unlocking bootloader. I either got the errors: COMMAND ERROR!!! or it would be stuck on "Waiting for Device". I tried to also update my version 2.2.1 to 2.3.3 but that won't work either everytime I try to update with bootloader it keeps saying wrong zip. Can someone help me out unlock the bootloader and root my phone. I really wanna root my phone and get custom roms. Please help me out. Thank You.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jeinnerabdel:
So, its S-OFF and you need to unlock bootloader to install Clockworkmod recovery, correct? I did it with HTC Dev's site ( www htcdev com / bootloader )

Just followed the steps and I got my bootloader unlocked, then installed recovery and ran the root.zip file from there.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] farees107:
I did that all the steps but I keep getting errors. Does updating to 2.3.work?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
If its s-off already you don't have to worry about unlocking. Just fastboot flash a recovery.img
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] farees107:
Recovery doesn't work in the bootloader when I click on it shows me a phone with a hazard sign. If I don't need that recovery then how do I flash the rom
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ravin.chandra:

how u do that?? im so confused I also heard carrier branded phones cant unlock bootloader. my phone is carrier branded to Verizon but its gsm unlocked and s-off.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FordNate:
google is your friend. Google it. You are already unlocked. FIND THE CWM.img files in these threads. Even look around there might be a guide or 3 that'll help.

I'm a newbie at this and I have no clue how any of threads are going to help my situation. I want to root my phone its Verizon carrier branded HTC incredible 2 phone. Its suppose to be CDMA but I got it unlocked by someone to make it work for GSM. Now I wanna root it i had someone gain me s-off but couldn't unlock the bootloader. I can't even open up recovery from my cell phone it gives me the phone with a hazard sign error. I wanna root it so bad but had no progress to root after s-off. Can you please help me root. My firware is 2.2.1
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FordNate:
This is the last help I'm giving other then that Google will be your friend. Power down the phone. Hold volume - (down) and power. This will take you to your bootloader screen. Hit volume up or down and scroll to fastboot hit power button. FIND the cwm .img from one of those threads and flash that through adb on your computer using the command given in one of those links to Root threads. You phone is S off you already had root. That's all the help I'm willing to give.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] farees107:
Didn't work :(
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Frazercrib:
sorry if am asking @ the wrong time..but does it mean that i can root and flash roms,kernels..with a locked bootloader but with s-off?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FordNate:
S-off is unlocking the bootloader. Basicalky taking the normal security flags or checks that happen during boot process n dropping/overriding them.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Frazercrib:
ok i did all u guys said...but i get this after typing fastboot flash cwm.img

unknown partition 'cwm.img'

error: cannot determine image filename for 'cwm.img'

don't know if i did something wrong
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ArslanQureshi:
the command is fastboot flash recovery cwn.img
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Frazercrib:
ok silly me...i corrected my error...now i am getting this

sending 'recovery' (3726 KB)...

OKAY ( 1.147s)

writing 'recovery'...

FAILED (remote not allowed)

finished. total time: 1.150s

....and still no recovery
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ArslanQureshi:
i think your bootloader is locked if I am right then first unlock your bootloader using HTC dev unlock http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader

after your bootloader is unlocked then you will be able to flash recovery
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Frazercrib:
okay i'll try that...and then i'll report back
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Frazercrib:
neva mind...reverted my hboot to 0.96.2000...then i tried the recovery command again...that did the trick...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lilbco:
i had similar issue. dunno if you managed to solve the problem but i hope my solution could be of help to those who still need it.:)

download the PG32IMG.zip (latest firmware for your device), download clockmodrecovery

1.change clockmodrecovery to recovery.

2. unzip the PG32IMG in a closest accessible folder to you n paste the the recovery in it.

3. zip the PG32IMG files including the recovery. using 7zip or winrar

4. name the zip PG32IMG.

1. now paste the zip to the root of your sd card.

2. power down your device and press volume down + power button to open bootloader

3. wait for the bootloader to identify the PG32IMG.zip

4. select yes by pressing the volume keys.... wait a while for the bootloader to run it things.

5. if u get any confirmation, reboot device or at times its done automatically

your device would reset.

To confirm that you have clockmodrecovery.. boot to bootloader and select the recovery and voila:D

if you have the super user zip file, go ahead and install by;

1. selecting install zip from sd card.

2. choose zip from sd card

3. select the root zip or super user zip.

4. wait for confirmation and head to reboot system now....... problem solved:good:

you firmware would be updated to ics firmware.. enjoy.... don't forget to thank me if it solved your problem..

Just got my S 4 a few days ago. BestBuy guy fiddling with it updated it to the ME7 build of which I had no idea couldn't get boot loader unlocked for yet. If I had known that at the time, I wouldn't have been letting him mess with it so long. Anyway, I am on ME7 and rooted..thank goodness that's available at least. Any word on the unlocked boot loader? Est. time on how long it takes to crack these things? I'm coming up from the SIII which I loved flashing new ROMs and fell in love with CleanROM, Hyperdrive and Bonestock. It's kind of a bummer I got my S 4, which I love btw, but I can't put that awesomeness on it yet. Any info would be great! Thanks everyone and as always Android>iOS woooooooooo :D

BTW Thank you to whom ever may be working on this. You guys are the best!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] itsdubai:
I would return it and make sure it's not updated this time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MikeyFid:
Just tell them I want a different one? They'll go for that? Never got a phone from them before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] itsdubai:
If it's within 14 days, you should be able to exchange it. Just say you want a different s4. You might have to pay a minor restocking fee. It's up to you if it's worth it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MikeyFid:
Oh duh I totally forgot about that. It's definitely worth it for me. I love my custom ROMs.

One more question...Will it ask me to update? Or do it automatically? I've had so many Android phones but I'll be damned if I can remember if it asks or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] itsdubai:
It will ask you to update right when you turn it on most likely. Some users said it automatically updated overnight. So make sure you root and rom it immediately once you get it to stop that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] resurektz:
Or he can freeze the sdm.apk to prevent it from doing it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nick James:
I was asked to apply the OTA and I ignored the the messaged all day at work. When I got home, I plugged my phone into my computer only to charge it and it automatically applied the update. Also, I had Kies set up to NOT open or update when plugging in my phone.

I didnt know this at the time- a day late and a buck short :(

Aren't there some other apks to free as well?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] resurektz:
Bestbuy wont give you any problem, i just did it today actually :p but i just asked for a white one just so i wouldnt have to explain why i wanted a new one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MikeyFid:
Awesome! I'll have to go up there and check it out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] resurektz:
Yup, i'd suggest just saying the update was giving you a problem and you factory reset a few times and you still have spotty reception or something, or just switch colors if it doesnt matter to you.

Did the same from verizon.. started to give a story about how something wasnt working right and the guys was like i dont care heres a new one.. lol i was worried there would be a problem. As for freezing there two files you want to freeze I found the info here on xda. As for the white phone theres a guy I work with that has a dark silver case and it makes it look awsome. If i see him tonight Ill link the case name.. Its almost grey and covers all the white except the smallest inner edge around the screen and it makes the screen pop.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Well, I've had this phone for a good 3 months now. I used to have an S2 with H+. I'm not exactly sure how fast 3G(EVDO) is supposed to be, but I'm assuming I should be able to, at the very least, do a Google search. I can barely browse sometimes on LTE, let alone 3G.

Well, today, my buddy showed be a website on his Verizon iPhone 4. It was, at the very least, ten times faster than my browsing experience. It felt as fast as my Wi-fi!

This raises a serious question for me:

Is the HTC One slow? Or is it just Sprint being Sprint? Because I have yet to see such browsing speeds, even in strong(ish) LTE areas.

I have only the One on Sprint, so I have nothing to test it against, but can Sprint's 3G be that bad? Can verizon's 3G be that good?

Are you guys able to browse comfortably on 3G? Is my device defective?

I have no idea. I just want to be able to use my mobile phone as a mobile phone. As in, able to use the internet outside of my house. It's very frustrating sometimes when I want to look something up and the connection times out.

So, how fast is your browsing experience?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] luigi311:
3g maxs out at around 2-3 mbps I'm not sure but this is the limitation of the evdo technology that's is being used. Sprints internet service has been decreasing over the years probably due to their backhaul but as network vision is being applied your data speed rates should be increasing. Verizon has fast 3g because of their network as of now sprint is playing the catch up game but it shouldn't be that long until it's there. If you just want ur mobile phone to work like a mobile phone shouldnt that just be calls?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
To the question: No. By mobile, I mean being able to move around. Smartphones are the new definition of mobile phones.

And 2-3 megs on 3g? Ha! That's a good one... I barely get 2 on LTE. I get like 80kbps, if even, on 3G. Is there something wrong with my phone or is it just Sprint?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] NORCALkID:
It's just sprint ... Sprint made a bad call when they invested in wimax while others like Verizon went lte ... Verizon's 3g is pretty fast especially now that a ton of their devices prioritize lte.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] luigi311:
If ur really fedup with sprints 3g u can always SIM unlock and load up a at& or tmobile SIM and use their 3g. Theres also just leaving sprint completely and going to another company
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Can I tell Sprint that I'm getting crappy-a$$ speeds and ask for a free contract termination? Or, at least, a discounted ETF?

I don't wanna pay $1000+ for phones I'll have to sell for like <$300 each.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] volk9029:
