[Acer Iconia A500] gemneye:
About to throw in the towel

After Timmy's tool, I was able to boot just fine. I got to this point a few times. There was no patched boot loader or no custom recovery. Basically I had a bootable tablet running what looked to be a STOCK ROM.

I could then install v8 or v9 patched ICS loader and custom recovery (CWM THOR 1.7.3). I could boot custom recovery (Vol-down + Power), Quick Menu (Vol-up + Power), or the Stock ROM (Primary Kernel Image). This would work consistently.

Then I would install a custom ROM (tried many of them, even ones that had worked previously) and I could never get the ROM to boot. I would get stuck on the boot loader screen stating Primary Kernel was trying to boot.

Since then I can no longer use Timmy's tool. I am now consistently getting this error:

Formatting partition 2 BCT please wait.. FAILED!

command failure: create failed (bad data)

bootloader status: specified partition is invalid or does not exist (code: 7) message: nverror:0x42008 (0x6042008) flags: 0

Except for getting the tablet to boot a few times after using Timmy's tool, I would venture to guess there is an underlying hardware issue. Once I had it booted to Stock I think it gave me false hope. Now that I am consistently getting storage device type errors using different combinations of nvflash, I am thinking there might be a more serious issue.

[Acer Iconia A500] RedOmega:
This was the only thing that worked to get my a500 out of APX mode! I thought for sure she was a gonner.
[Acer Iconia A500] RedOmega:
I have the similar issue to gemneye.

I can use timmy deans euu tool to get to stock hc 3.2.1 and can boot without issues.

I can flash the v8 using apxflash and I install cwm thor 1.7.3.

Still boots up fine after flashing v8/recovery.

No matter what rom I install at this point I am stuck at the screen with "Booting primary kernel image". Even civato's stock rom won't go past this screen.

The only part of your instructions that I have an error is when trying to dumb the bct. I would have to guess that this is the reason I'm stuck. While trying to dumb the bct APX Flash tool pops up and says "Could not find file bct.dec" I can't find any other tool to fix the bct. Any ideas?
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
There is a specific order to doing things successfully with the Acer, any deviation at all and things wont work as they should. You must flash your rom directly after flashing the v8.

Flash the v8/cwm 1.7.3

Boot directly to cwm and complete a full wipe

Flash your rom

reboot.

If u run the v8 from HC and reboot without flashing an ICS rom first you will get stuck with booting primary kernel image...Why?? cos you have HC rom with the unlocked bootloader - the unlocked bootloader will only work with ICS/JB roms!! I'm assuming this is the reason for the "bct.dec" error as well. Try it again in the order I posted above:)
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Oh darn:(

Yep your conclusions are correct.

Maybe pickup new one off ebay they were going reasonably cheap awhile back sub US$80???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Keda_P:
Hi guys , im trying to purchase a new galaxy s 4 phone , but im concerned that the person who is selling me the device might give me a refurbished one.

i know that to test it i need to get to the RTN menu.

Im trying to do so on my galaxy s 2 to practice, but i cant get there ...

Does anyone know ho how can i get to that menu ? or maybe there is an app ?

i tried

##786# .. nothing

*#*#786*#*# .. nothing ..

both pro launcher and adw launcher do not give me the shortcut to the hidden menu... im running 4.1.2 on SGS 2.

Maybe SSG4 is different from sgs2 .. tho i think it should work.

Please help.

Id like to have the new phone, but i do not want to get screwed with a refurbished one .

Thank you.

Yup, full wipe and PA 4.3 gaaps. Maybe I'll give it another go in a bit. I've got a good set up going as is, so even if I can't get it working it's not a huge deal.

All you have to do is install busybox by Stericson from the play store and run busybox let the app load after smart install is loaded choose install and then normal install (do not choose smart install) then reboot. Go download the Uni-init v1.0.apk in the first link I posted and install it run the app choose activate when finished choose verify it should say success then just reboot.

[Galaxy S 4 General] intolaomair:
I have never had this much bad luck with a smart phone before. I don't know whats going on. But i've been though 5 Galaxy S4's and every single one had some soft of issue.

1. bought the S4 from Telus: The phone had wifi connectivity issues. It would drop wifi and reconnect constantly. Returned to Telus.

2. Exchanged S4 from Telus: The phone had scratches on the right bezel and my OCD kicked in. This time I got a refund.

3. Bought S4 from EZ Connect (wholesalers): I bought the black version and immediately noticed a gap on top of the phone, between the screen and the bezel. wide enough to slide a card between. Returned

4. Bought S4 from EZ Connect again: The bezel on right wasn't flush to phone. There was a sort of bump near the power button.

So I don't know if All S4's have some small quality issue - or maybe EZ Connect wholesalers are selling faulty batches. I am at a loss
[Galaxy S 4 General] ThugEsquire:
I wouldn't be surprised. But honestly, if build quality is that important to you over features, then I sincerely believe you'll prefer the HTC One.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ferris2375:
Errr No. Ridiculous to think that all S4's have defects. There are millions of S4's dude, not all have issues. Mine is flawless. Sounds like you have some issues lol But seriously, any phone can have defects and I've seen posts just like yours with various different phones right down to iPhones. People going through like 5 or more phones because of a small nick here and there.
[Galaxy S 4 General] intolaomair:
Well I do have OCD issues. I guess I expect a brand new phone to be in perfect condition. No nicks, scratches on bezels, uneven casing...
[Galaxy S 4 General] tntgdh:
I think you should go with htc one if you are so worried with this details
[Galaxy S 4 General] BURRITO_LTE:
This is perfectly fine. I have been through 4 google play edition galaxy s4's. All had issues that bothered me. Luckily my last one is good. For the insane prices phones go for these days, or having to chain up to a 2 year contract, You should not expect anything less than perfect.

All those "defective" returned devices supposedly hurt the merchant or manufacturer, and that is fine because eventually it leads to samsung learning they are losing cash with people returning many devices due to their poor quality control.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ilabs:
The One has build and quality control issues as well, maybe even more than the S4 coz HTC has QC issues. So do inspect the phone properly when you buy. The One has had issues like gaps in the body and construction between plastic and metal, metal and screen, scratches coz its a metal body, etc
[Galaxy S 4 General] nik511:
Never buy and accept a brand new phone if the case stickers are teared.
[Galaxy S 4 General] negrobembon:
every brand has this sort of thing, its always about luck with these devices
[Galaxy S 4 General] lambstone:
You're just simply unlucky.

Chances are, they aren't giving you new sets. It's common for retailers to repackage returns and sell them as new. A shady practice but still widespread. This is why most retailers always make a point to check that an item is resalable when you return stuff.
[Galaxy S 4 General] htcplussony:
The i9505 I got from Clove had the bump near the power button too. Took a loss and sold it.

Visited lots of Futureshop, Bestbuy, Telus, Rogers, Bell and Wireless Waves stores. Perfect units were few and far between. Most units I saw have gaps between the screen and bezel on the side. The Fido i337m I have now, the gap's bigger on it than the phone I had before. It is what it is.

hey,

i am in canada and i have been thinking about buying the 6600 but telus offers the "unlimited" data plan that is capped at 50megs. any data over over 50 megs is subject to additional charges per MB. i talked with a telus rep and he told me that 50 megs is a astronomical amount and it is unlikley that i would go over it within a month. he says he has not seen anyone go over 50 megs yet. i was wondering how you are fairing with the 50 megs? how much data do you use on a daily basis?
