You can't install twrp or cwm on me7 because bootloader is still locked. Can almost call it a soft root if you want.

If you managed to brick your phone.

Please follow the instructions to restore your phone to stock.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajcmaster:
Hello guys,

Is there any way to test an i9300 board without a LCD screen?

I have one here but I don't have any working LCD (the one I have is totally wasted).

I wish to know if it is still working so I can buy the screen+digitalizer kit to fix it.

Any ideas?

EDIT

Haha, I just realized to put it in a USB port of my computer. It lit up the front lights (from the menu/back) and my PC found it.

I want to unlock the bootloader of the xperia u st25i and i have the bootloader allow unlock, or whatsoever, that sais yes.

But I dont want to send sony my imei because of the warranty. (if i dont send sony any data of me unlocking bootloader, incase of problem if i relock it, the waranty will be back i think)

Is there a form of unlocking it in which i dont have to send sony my imei and i dont have to pay either???

I ve been serching for severan days and nothing interesting i have found.

Thinks are easier with samsung that dont have bootloader and in case of problem you only need to instal original rom and erase binary counter... But with sony its quite a mess!!

Thanks in advance

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] miaad:
There is no other way to unlock your bootloader unless you make an unlock request to sony, and obtain the unique code for your device to complete the process of unlocking, However there's a method called "Test point method" where you don't need to send the request, but its not efficient and not advised to do.

Anyways if warranty is your problem, don't worry !

Back up your TA and DRM keys, there's a tutorial for it, before unlocking,

And you can gain your warranty after relocking, and restoring them.

Follow this for unlocking

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] theronkinator:
Just asking Sony for the code shouldn't affect your warranty, because asking for it and actually using it are different, and just asking it, but not using it doesn't affect your phone.

I unlocked mine anyway as Sony UK told me just unlocking the bootloader doesn't void the warranty.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] silverball.slayer:
I have noticed some really weird things with my new Nexus 7. First, there has been a few random reboots. Once this morning when I woke the device out of sleep, but after that it has not rebooted. Second, when reloading all my apps after initial setup it would halt the download as soon as the screen turned off. So I thought most of my apps had re-installed so I powered it off for the afternoon. Upon powering it on tonight, my device is downloading and installing everything again! However this time it is doing it even when the screen is turned off.. And finally even though my tablet has 4.3, it says there is an update to 4.3? I haven't tried installing this 'update' yet since I wanted to see how stable the device would be and get all my other apps installed.

Rob
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] TheAltruistic:
That update to 4.3 is just a... spruce up to say in the simplest way. It's just to fix minor bugs, optimize your tablet etc.

Sounds like you may have an app that isn't agreeing with your tablet. It also sounds like that your tablet is trying to auto-restore apps that you backed up to your Google account.

If you want to disable the auto-restore it is:

Settings > Backup & Reset > Uncheck "Automatic restore"

Also, the apps that are auto downloading might also be from Google play's auto update which they've hid a little bit more in the newer version of Google play. If you want to disable that too it is:

Google Play app > Settings > Auto-update apps > select the radio dot "Do not auto-update apps"

I know downloading a bunch of things in general (i.e., large files, video files etc.) tends to cause most android devices to auto reboot. All these restores might be doing that? I hope someone with more experience will be better to assist you.

Hope that helps some. Good luck :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] player911:
Sounds like a battery saver is killing your WiFi when the screen is off. I think there is even a setting in advanced WiFi options. Android pulls lots of settings from previous devices, perhaps it switched it to turn off when screen is off.

Also, the rebooting initially seems common. Mine rebooted randomly twice that I can tell. I only knew from looking at the Up time in Settings>Status. Since then I'm over 90 hours.

So keep an eye on it if your concerned. It shouldn't turn off the device, just a soft reboot. Googles been updating there core apps, so maybe it was something with old versions of Currents or Maps making it reboot. Mine seems stable after the first couple days. I also unlocked = full wipe, which some say has helped with reboots. If its an ongoing issue, or causing problems, or rebooting frequently during use, I'd exchange it.

Hi, I was wondering if any of you S4 users have any scratches on your screen? I have quite a lot and have had the phone for a month. I thought gorilla glass 3 would be tougher than GG2. My HTC One had less scratches and I had it for longer. My brother had the S4 and complained about the amount of scratches also.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vpwrf:
I have also noticed a couple of scratches on the screen. I have had mine for just over a month.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkym0nkey:
lot of it is down to environment. No amount of careful use will help if there is lint / dust particles in your pocket. Those are invisible but those minute sand particles will scratch anything short of diamond.

My sis has lot of fine hairline scratches on the ONE's soft key area which is only thing exposed. Screen part was covered and as some screen protectors had issues with soft keys, she had cut bottom part of the screen protector and it has fine scratches there.

Unless you really make sure there is no lint or you live in area which does not have too much wind dust, it is not easy to keep the phone scratchless without screen protector and without babying it.

I have always said, put a screen protector on it. Nature is more unpredictable than our technology, and more harsh than what we think.

I'm thinking its a network rather than phone issue though. Like it doesn't reauthenticate after lost signal. Signal is poor at work but its not the only place it happens.

Hello,

It happens to me twice: once per week - I'm brought it two weeks ago. First time I have simply reboot-ed to get the network back.

Second time I have put it in "Airplane mode" and back to normal operating status but doesn't recover it. I have only seen the operator logo about 1 sec and then "emergency calls only".

Reboot "solved" the issues instead. I have cleaned the SIM surface and reinserted few times and I have set up the network mode to "WCDMA/GSM (auto connect)". Under observation...
