[Motorola Atrix HD] anthony2424:
I tried that and it just goes straight to the unlocked bootloader screen, so how to i make a fastboot cable?(:
[Motorola Atrix HD] Neighbor808:
You can look up a guide on Google. It requires a bit of rewiring/soldering of your Motorola cable though. If you aren't comfortable with that stuff, you can buy one for Atrix HD for like $5-$10
[Motorola Atrix HD] anthony2424:
Kay i'll just buy it i got paid today!(: thanks, i'll report back in about a week when the cord comes in.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Neighbor808:
Great! The fastboot cable should force it into fastboot, just plug it into your PC during the time your phone is off. You may have to let it charge for a bit. From there its only a matter of flashing stock ROM. :)

It may be called Motorola Factory Cable or Motorola Fastboot Cable, either one. Just make sure you get a Motorola Atrix HD one lol :P

Hi guys,

PC wont detect the phone when connected via USB. All it does is charge the phone.

HTC Sync manager and mobogenie also wont recognize the phone.

Checked with both USB debugging ON & OFF. No go.

Thanks in advance.

Device: HTC OneX Asia (16GB), Android 4.1.1
[HTC One X] virgolib:
Reboot the device and try again (or) change usb cable (or) reinstall drivers again (or) try with another PC.
[HTC One X] danielpviktor:
Tried rebooting and also tried different cables as well as PC's with Windows7, 8 and Mac. No go

Also other phones work with these cables.

Also did a Factory reset on the phone today. Still No go.:(

Other phones means not HTC ? Have you reinstall HTC syn manager??
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbungle999:
This is my first lg smart phone and I'm new to android since april with gs4. Coming originally from IOS we probably can all agree that Apple regularly sends out fixes, updates, features and the older models always get the new IOS when released.

My question is historically, how has LG been with support for previous flagships as far as internal LG UI updates and android updates?

My concern is that I rarely see or hear anything about this phone except for android specific sites. I see no advertisement and in AT&T and Verizon stores I have seen the G2 set aside with crappy phones. Recently I saw it with no power or description and this weekend I was looking for cases and it was not on display at all in both Verizon and att that I visited. The reps didn't even know what it was and pointed me at the G pro. I can't even find a case for this in a store.

Is what I have now all it will be for the next 2 years?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1_enthusiast:
There will always be developer bringing you pure android if that is what your asking, if your asking will there be updates from LG then most likely not a lot...unless it's something so important that people are writing to them about.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbungle999:
Since I'm fairly new to android. I'm a little worried about rooting to get pure android, plus I don't mind lg ui except for some flaws. I am pretty tech savvy but from what I hear one mistake can permanently screw your phone. I also feel a consumer shouldn't have to hack their device to stay current.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeaconBoogie:
We'll likely never see an official update for this phone. Verizon drags their feet, kicking and screaming, to push out updates. And LG, like Samsung and HTC, race to pump out new device after new device with blithe disregard for maintaining their old products.

While Apple has only a handful of devices on the market, each of which built in tandem with the new OS and with developers savvy enough to provide graceful fallback on older devices, Asian smartphone makers make dozens upon dozens of devices to satisfy dozens upon dozens of carriers who feel the need to have ten phones with the same specs.

And each manufacturer kowtows to the carrier, fracturing the OS further.

If we see an official 4.3 release, we'll be lucky to see it before the end of 2014.

(Not to say we won't have AOSP, mind you.)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcharng:
I am probably one of many people who gets LG g2 because I am unhappy with nexus battery life and hoping that the g2 being similar to nexus 5 will have enough people buying the phone to be of interest to developers.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaungregg:
I can't speak to ATT and Verizon as I'm with T-Mobile, not surprised about the display and lack of knowledge, Verizon sells 40% of all iPhones in the US and potentially owes Apple 12 billion dollars if they don't meet certain sales figures. ATT sells 40% as well, its in the best interests of those two carriers to push Iphones and ignore Android except for their low end market but believe me they don't want anyone thats getting a high end phone to get an Android over Apple. Sprint and T-Mobile only sell 10% each of iPhones sold in America each year.

I frequent 3 T-Mobiles in my area and every employee in the store is always using only Android phones, used to be S4 and Notes but now they all are sporting G2s. I was formerly with Sprint and it was exactly the same deal. At both stores Apple gets a simple display along the wall with their handsets and the rest of the store is all Android, a few Windows and now Blackberry is kaput lol.

If we judge by last years Flagship from LG the Optimus G, which I had and loved. Several months after its release the honeymoon was over, you couldn't find a case for it anywhere and had to order from Amazon. Right now you walk into T-Mobile and they have a dozen cases for the G2, I can't talk for Sprint but I expect they carry a handful for sure. Good thing is most major case makers have at least one or two models out for it if not at the carriers then online. You'll never see a case inside a Target or Walmart, they only ever have them for iPhones and the top Samsung model.

My two cents is this device will see more support from LG, certain carriers and developers. I say this because LG has alot riding on the phone so I think in house they will wait and listen and provide updates in a timely fashion and I think they'll push carriers to do the same but looking at the numbers its obviously better to be an Android owner with Sprint or T-Mobile rather than the other two, not surprising that these two companies are in merger talks.

I just went to all the Carrier sites, ATT has 1 case for sale online, Verizon has 3, Sprint 0 and T-Mobile 8 different cases in multiple colors. This is online and stores will vary but it pretty much paints the picture. Granted Sprint isn't selling the phone yet.

I'm not afraid for the G2, LG has earned a good reputation with developers because they consistently put out good devices and for the 2nd year in a row will be the choice of Google for the Nexus phone. Truth be told last years Flagship is still on 4.1 Jellybean but as I said above I believe and hope LG will show more support this time in the States for this phone. If you want guaranteed Android update love in America then in order it would be Google Nexus, Google Play Editions, Samsung, HTC. Sony and LG pretty lame and finally Motorola which is a wildcard in this department I think.

Sorry for the long ass post and I don't even remember your original question but hopefully my diatribe provided at least some helpful info. Just be thankful for XDA and the development community is all I can say for sure, I know I am.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
I had the LG G2x back in the day and it was ruined by closed sources and lack up updates.

I'm on Verizon and have a Galaxy Nexus now, I'd love the Nexus 5 but probably not available for Verizon. The G2 is the best thing out there right now, but I'm very leery. I don't see very much rom development yet.

The G2x was a complete disaster that was plagued with lock ups, battery drain, reboots, and lack of any official updates.

I've already told myself I am waiting for December to decide between the N5 (if its available) and the G2 (if it has a good community). Else I'll just stick with my Galaxy Nexus.

If you want timely OS updates like the iPhones, then go with a Nexus. Nexus > Android = iPhone > Apple. Anything running Android that is not a Nexus, getting updates are either months late or non-existent. My Galaxy Nexus is almost 2 years old and has newer Android then the G2 does currently. The same thing happened with the G2x, it was released with an older Android build. They promised an update in the next month which was delayed for like 6months. When we got it, it was worse then what we had.

Nexus Phones are open source, so devs can typically fix a problem immediately without waiting for Google, Carrier, or Manufacturer to fix it.

LG just burned everyone so bad in the past with their horrible software support. Almost to the point where I'd rather take a hit on specs just to buy from another manufacturer like Samsung. Samsung has a better update policy but also have a large cult following, so the development community typically is larger.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crooke356:
I've heard several negative stories regarding the update process with LG. Mixed with VZW, I can understand why some would worry more. Now, if you watch football, VZW, who sponsors the NFL, have lots of commercials during games and on the NFL network. I've seen several commercials about the G2 and have on non-football programs as well. While I'm not going to say the carriers are pushing the G2, you can bet LG is. They are proud of this phone and are looking to really turn their image around. Personally, I believe we will see at least ONE big, timely update. LG has a lot invested in this flagship and it feels like we'll be okay here. Hey, it's their first phone they've released on all major carriers. That's saying something.

Yes, I'm being optimistic in a place where it seems it's forbidden. You should try it, feels good.

I wanted to run Backstab HD on my Explorer running on CM10. However,it gives me the 'not compatible' issue. I looked up the issue on the internet and found out that this issue can be bypassed by editing the certain values in the build.prop so that the game thinks that it is running on HTC Desire C. So I want to know that values of the build.prop should be changed.

Thanks.:cowboy:

You don't need unroot or lock the bootloader, this is the whole point why this is interesting, for people to be able to update without having to use lgnpst. The reason u need to back up root is because when u apply the patch, you need to root, the app u linked is good too.

Ok, try this:

Continue at your own risk! I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.

Install Recovery:

1. Download the files required for rooting from Here

2. Unlock your phone’s bootloader at http://www.htcdev.com/

3. Copy the Clock Work Mod zip to your SD card.

4. Now create a folder named “android” in your “C” drive.(You can create it in any drive of your choice but for the sake of convenience I’ll be taking drive “C”)

5. Now copy the “ CWMRecovery_D500_Philz.img” to that folder.

6. Rename the file to “recovery.img”.

7. Download ADB and extract it to to C:\android

8. Turn off the phone.

9. Now turn it on by pressing Volume down key+”-” key+Power button.

10..With the help of volume keys select “Fastboot” by pressing the power key.

11. Connect your Desire 500 to your PC and install all the required drivers (htc drivers, so pc can read and write on phone).

12. Now open command prompt and go to: c:/android

13. Now type “fastboot flash recovery recovery.img”.

14. Power off your smartphone.

15. Power it on by holding volume down+ “-” +power button.

16. Navigate to the option named “RECOVERY” and press the power key.

You now have recovery installed!

Install SU:

Download SuperSu from Here

Now go into CWM recovery and the flash the zip

Reboot phone..

[HTC Desire 500] joe-khalil:
it's ok it worked it's now unlocked but all my apps are gone!!!!! :P
[HTC Desire 500] showham:
This is the risk of rooting the phone! You have to know surely what you're gonna do, else you'll have a messed up phone. After rooting, I strongly advise to do a backup under CWM recovery, this way you keep your chance to revert everything back to the initial status.

Now folow other steps and you will be rooted with an unlocked bootloader.

Good Luck.

the rooting sucks!!! i can't get access to the "su" eash time i tried to the phone shutsdown!!!! how to remove it????
[HTC Desire 500] showham:
I think this is not a full root acces method and there isn't now for the time being. This is partial root, might want to wait with this procedure some time after will have more support for your device.

Sorry I cn't help anymore.

Try google it or search the forums, might be some more helpfull links for you because this device is a bit new and has to grow a comunity.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Baratheonist:
Hope this helps courtesy of my Android buddy- Gerry:

I just love the Zaggkeys Folio for Galaxy Note 8. A sturdy and solid case with a "rubbery" feel exterior. You just know your Note 8 is well protected with this keyboard case. White is too plain for me though, so I just splashed on a couple of vintage style stickers to my liking.

I think this case with keyboard is the most aesthetic looking for the Note 8.. The bluetooth keyboard definitely adds a lot of functionality if you like to type and email a lot using your tablet. Individual keys are the right size and you won't be fidgeting and fumbling pressing those keys. Lengthy entries are a cinch. However , navigation and key input is not intuitive. The layout is not a typlical QWERTY layout so will need some adjustments on your part. Navigation using the keyboard is tricky and cumbersome, so your best recourse is to use the S-pen or your finger along with key inputs. Think mouse and keyboard like on a desktop. I was hopping to map some keys for gaming but at this point I think it will not be even possible.

Oh! And I can say that watching movies in bed is so much more fun. The screen angle stays in place not like my MOKO slim folio case which hardly stays put.

The backlit keys sure look PUURRRTTYYY!

Final thoughts:

This case somehow takes away from the pure tablet experience of the Note 8. It makes your Note 8 feel like a "small netbook/laptop". With the keyboard, you are mostly forced to use the Note 8 in landscape view. In portrait mode, it feels like you are holding and reading a hardbound novel. The weight difference is significant from a naked note 8 or even one with a slim case. They Note 8 is also not that easy to take out of this case if you want to move between cases. So be prepared to use this as your main case once you pop the Note 8 in.

But for my own purpose, this is a perfect accessory that I need. Useful as it is, I think it is still overpriced at $99. Although I can't find anything cheaper that comes close to the aesthetics and slim fit of the Zaggkeys folio. If $99 will not set you back much, then I recommend you get this one.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Skeilio:
I received mine on Monday and is very nice and works perfectly

Some things to note

The hinge does flex dont know the long term durability

By doing a function right arrow you can change the colors of the keyboard

Wish it came in different colors

the charging cable for the keyboard is on the opposite side of the charging of the note 8
