Well I updated the 3.17 firmware zip with the additional pieces from the 3.16 firmware to prevent any future bricks.

Unfortunately, in the course of me downgrading to make sure it would work I used the wrong firmware file and bricked my device.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Yeah well, those are the breaks. I don't expect any update for this device for a few months, so I guess I can use my OG for a bit. But it will prevent me from doing any additional work on the port. If I could upgrade at this point, I certainly would. But I guess I'll just have to be content with a replacement, as soon as I can get one.

Hello

I just received the 3.17 update also. I am running 3.16, and am also stock rooted. If I install this update will I lose root or possibly brick my device?

Thanks,

Wrong thread and pretty much just wrong but....

Never accept OTA updates when rooted. You can find the rooted version of 3.17 in the development section.

I don't think they were going to be released in the US until the 23rd (I think both something I read somewhere and the Tmo guy said that. That doesn't make it true, though.) My local Tmo and AT&T stores don't have them.

Unless the case is released with the phone, I think I'm going to hold off buying my next phone until I can put the case I want to on it. My anxiety is through the roof carrying a naked & big (fragile) phone, but I can't bring myself to put my SIM & SD cards back in the old phone. Hopefully they'll be releasing more durable screens by that time; it sounds like that'll be a big Q1 2014 thing.

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swanson8:
Just searched the forum and I cant find anything supporting the Optimus T For Tmobile regarding the Custom roms. So I'm asking the NOOB Questions.

1. What is the best most stable Custom Rom for the Optimus T P509 (Tmobile). And how do you download and Install it.

2. Is the Optimus One and The Optimus T The same phone?

3. If I don't Use Cell Towers but only Wifi calling will the custom rom affect this?

4. After Installing the recommended custom rom can you still download from the android market or blackmart?

5. Can you explain how to uninstall the custom rom If necessary?

(Remember all answers must be for NOOB's Keep it Simple)
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swanson8:
Ok found roms

So the Optimus T is the same as the Optimus One. As I read all Custom Roms for the Optimus One will work with the Optimus T. I have seen CM all the way up to 10 (JellyBean) but 10 as I read there are still a lot of bugs. The biggest is the phone function not working for me. I really want more for the Optimus T but all I see is confusing forums that don't make sense and im good at modding electronics! I have installed Custom Roms on a PSP 1001, Omnitech Gps unit, Samsung dart Was rooted by me, And this phone rooted but I want a Custom rom for this but I don't know which one and I don't have time to read all the 1,000,000 posts.

PLEASE someone help me install a custom rom and please explain the installation process as if I were a NOOB. This wont only help me but it will help other NOOB's. Thank you and I look forward to the help.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grigtm:
hello, I do not know abouth OT bu I have one O1, first you need to root the phone, second is to install SuperUser and BusyBox from PlayStore, 3rd is to flash recovery and finaly 4th is to find a custom rom and copy it to SD card, boot into recovery and install zip from SD card( the zip is the custom rom and located where you had it on SD)

now the steps: but first read this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1152306 an here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2047589

install USB drivers (search forum for LG USB Drivers) and ADT http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2047589

1. root http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682 or http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2047589

3. search development forum for a custom rom, I personaly recomand an ICS Rom, every CostomRom thread expalins the steps for flashing, boot recovery, do an backup of current rom(verry important), wipe data/battery/cash/dalvik cash/ format system/ reboot recovery/install zip from sd card/ choose zip->browse location of desired custom rom-> comfirm flash->w8 to finish process->flash gapps if not included-> reboot/enjoy new rom

read carefully threads that I mentioned, if you do not understand ask, be carefully, do not interrupt any flashing proceed, w8 until is finished, any interruption will result in HARDBRICK, so do not unplug cable and do not pull out battery by any mining while you flash recovery or rom

FUNNY IM ANSWERING MY OWN QUESTIONS!!!!

1. Look at my last post and follow the install instructions.

2. Is the Optimus One and The Optimus T The same phone? (YES They Are) There are subtle differences but the ROM does not care.

3. If I don't Use Cell Towers but only Wifi calling will the custom rom affect this? This Rom works well with ICall So no affect, But calling from cell towers requires Installation of OLBBASEBASE FIX.

4. After Installing the recommended custom rom can you still download from the android market or blackmart? YES But Install GAPPS!!!!

5. Can you explain how to uninstall the custom rom If necessary? Use Custom Recovery from ClockworkMod Recovery (CWRM)

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Life'sGood:
Hi,

I've been doing a little bit of experimentations with contactless (like RFID) cards and a phone kept close together, by having one of those cards in my original flip case pocket.

From my previous knowledge from peers experience is that when contactless cards are kept close together with a phone, in situation such as mine or phone + wallet or phone + remote keys, battery drains much faster.

Theory behind this is that the transmitting nature of the cards or devices will somehow interfere with the radio of our phones.

Indeed on this first day of my experimentation battery does drain around 10% faster. Thus now i'm trying to get more people to do the same experimenting, ESPECIALLY peeps with lots of baseband kernel wakelocks which until now is still kinda unsolved afaik.

What you need to do? Take a contactless card and stick it to your phone if you hasn't been keeping the phone that way, or keep your phone into the same pocket with your wallet that has lots of contactless cards. Remote transmitters, metallic objects, portable charger casing should work too.

For those already doing this daily, do the opposite. Try not to put your phone close with any of such items at anytime.

Post your findings below with:

your daily habit before

what you did to control the test

result, plus whether there's any changes to baseband kernel wakelocks.

I'm trying to do a 'mythbuster' here, your input will really help. Thanks!!!

If anyone could give me any advice would be pretty appreciated.

If you're using custom kernel, set the limit to 74, and u will find out it smoothly on game play, plus if you oc the gpu to 384, its almost lag free, but frame drop is also here coz the gpu power.
[Google Chromecast] Karlo666:
I changed my VPN provider(UnblockUS) because it wasnt working on some sections of GooglePlay (cant buy and watch movies(region lock)) but everything other was okay.

Now im using TunnelBear everything is fine but,when i set VPN On it connects to TunnelBear servers. Then my Chromecast dissapears from list of devices(in Chrome browser PC only). When i turn off VPN Chromecast device is back in list.

On other devices like my Find 5 or iPad 3 while connected to Tunnelbear VPN shows my Chromecast device fine.

I tryed to bridge soft adapter(TBear thing) to my LAN adapter but i lose VPN and cant use GooglePlay.

Any help to resolve this issue?

If i buy a movie and turn off VPN i cant cast it because it cant retrieve licence for playing.

Did you change your credit card to US?

Just remove your current credit card, then add it back again, with a real zip code and phone number. Then wait 1-2 hours (at this time mine always show payment denied).

Now I am able to buy music without VPN even. For Movies I still need VPN though. But once its bought, I don't need VPN anymore for either.

any workaround for this? its kinda the only reason i got a chromecast in the first place..... :(
[Google Chromecast] DJames1:
Technically you shouldn't expect this to work because the Chromecast has to be on the same LAN as the casting device, and when you use a VPN on the casting device you are putting it on a different LAN.

Not to mention that if you are using the VPN on the casting device to bypass geoblocking, then it probably wouldn't work even if you could see the Chromecast because the Chromecast also has to use the VPN to bypass geoblocking. You would have to set up the VPN in your router so that it affects both the casting device and the Chromecast. You can do that with advanced router firmware like DD-WRT, but not with most consumer routers using stock firmware.
[Google Chromecast] manawarkhan:
Suggestion

I have read through your issue of concern and I guess you should go for CyberGhost. It was established in Romania in the year 2011, by uniting a strong belief in confidentiality with German engineering to make a VPN that gives an anonymous, sage, and dependable service. It’s really simple to utilize, rapid connections, and variety of servers are just some of the numerous perks underlined in hundreds of positive user reviews. Go for https://vpn.review/set-up-chromecast-vpn/ today to learn a lot more. CyberGhost provides a 7-day free trial on Android and iOS, a Windows free trial, and a 45-day money-back assurance on all platforms. Just go for it as I don’t think so you will find anything else better than this one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hemanse:
Quite new to the whole rom thing, pretty much always had my phone rooted for various reasons, but only recently started trying out roms, not a big fan of touchwiz, so i decided to try out the CM 10.2 nightlies, so far its been working just fine, then again i have only tried one and except for a few minor errors once in a while, its been working alright.

My questiion is tho, do i need to do a full wipe each time i install a new nightly release? my guess would be no, but i just wanna make 100% sure that im doing the right thing.

Second question, would anyone recommend something different? i tried out liquidsmooth before CM, overall loved it, but seems like its not supported anymore.

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackwolf10:
1-no need to wipe

2-check in the dev area for Roms based on CM
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killbubble:
If you're asking for different roms i definitely do not suggest aoso for the simple reason they drain much more battery and miss a lot of samsung based one features.

I hate touchwiz like you, but there are many alternatives: go launcher ex, next launcher 3d, nova or apex launcher and more. Personally i use honami launcher (xperia?) I found in a rom that got it off xda. So it should be easy to find, it's REALLY quick and responsive (and i do have MANY apps).

About roms for galaxy s3 i would divide them in 2 jelly bean (would you actually get ics?) Categories: 4.1.1<x<4.2.2 and all 4.2.2+ ones.

You can get any 4.2.2 just fine but for these there are different roms.

Omega is well known, i have also heard of wanamlite. There is chaos legacy for 4.2.2.

But the one i use is foxhound (you can find both flavours, but latest 2.7 version of 4.1.2 is pretty astonishingly unstable, which is unusual for the great goxhound. The 0.1 version of 4.2.2 is what i chose and it's perfectly stable) and believe them to be quick and drain much less battery than most.

On 4.2.2 you may NOT change kernel, i remind you, as none are supported.

For theming rember to use xposed framework and its many modules...

Hi,

I'm trying to customize my extended rom before applying it to my Magician. I've downloaded latest WWE rom from FTP site, and extracted all files to a temp folder. I then used xda3nbftool -t -x ms_.nbf to decrypt the ExtRom file. After that, i used a HEX editor to cut the first 128 bytes and generate a "main" part to try and open it in Winimage, but so far without sucess (I'm using ITSME procedure).

Can someone help me trying to find out what i'm doing wrong?

However, the header (.hdr) is perfectly readable in hexedit, so i assume the "encryption" key is correct.

Am i doing something wrong? :roll:

The "key" is the first dword of the unencrypted file. It can be obtained from a SD dump. The value seem to be constant (I've tried several versions).

Yes, thats what i get too. But WinImage shows no files inside it. I don't think its WinImage problem, because if i use alpine_ext_rom_tool (yes, it works!) from the Alpine forum, i get a similar decoded file which opens right on WinImage. If only the encoding part worked fine...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] iDG:
I've checked all the fields in the boot sector and everything matches corretcly. The decoded file is a prefectly valid FAT16 volume. The only quirck I can find is that the boot sector declares the disk to be 0x9800 blocks long whereas the file is actually 0xa000 blocks long.

The space for the Ext_ROM in the flash is really 0x9800 blocks long

You could try to cut the file to be 0x1300000 bytes long to see if winimage likes it.
