[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Ghinn:
I think it was 10.2 that I put on originally.

I would love to use RSD, but like I said, all the guides I found had dead DL links.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Uhm, when you talk about working download links you link to some recovery hack.

I'm talking RSD Lite, and using fastboot to flash all of the stock stuff back.

Please read the link I sent - I can download those FXZ files no problem.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Ghinn:
Huh. Must be late, totally didn't see that you had posted a link. I think I wound up on that page at one point, but the latest version of RSD Lite I could find from a site that didn't look sketchy was 5.7. When I search for 6.1.5, I get a lot of random download links (don't usually trust those, and a lot of non-English sites.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Ghinn:
Yeah, may need to stop for the night and pick it back up tomorrow. Completely missed that there's a link to 6.0 on that thread. Will try that. Now, when you say to use RSD and then using fastboot to flash the stock stuff back, what do you mean? I thought RSD would take me back to stock.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I posted a direct link to 6.0 here, others posted their links in that thread as well.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Ghinn:
Thanks for all your help. Will get RSD from that thread and try the files you linked. Hopefully that gets me further.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Ghinn:
Yeah, RSD got me back to stock. The phone is borked anyway; the power button is iffy at best, and the touchscreen has stopped working, so he's gonna haveta try to get a replacement. Thanks for all the help.

CM is now for profit. It's CyanogenMOD Inc. Anyway, this is a pretty naive approach, IMHO. You want to keep something secret you can't tell technology about it. Check out "Schneier on Security."

I downloaded it when the dev was giving the pro version free for a limited time to XDA members. How ever its available on the play store...https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antispycell.connmonitor&hl=en
[Security Discussion] aejazhaq:
Yes i cam across that just a week ago. It seems to me as my knowledge progress' that the apps available are just to keep the selective data eg your mails private if you use APG with that. [MENTION=3110054]pan.droid[/MENTION] I think anything on your device is still as vulnerable as can be honestly and don't think, at least as of now that you can protect your data on you device with any satisfactory means, at least not yet. I'm interested in stenographic means more now than ever because I think encryption alone wont cut it esp keys generated on the phone; the prime numbers needed for a foreseeable future (3+ yrs) protection are elusive on the phone, perhaps the PC can do a better job, but again with its fallacies esp with emails being stored in the cloud permanently means that there's an expiration date on such material you choose to share. And given it lacks forward secrecy and anyone using PGP in emails is definitely shouting encrypted msgs being transmitted perhaps arousing more suspension and the subsequent package.

Thus I do agree the list is currently very naive but perhaps the best we can do at the moment. Thats why I'll leave people to share their opinions on this because this is perhaps an ongoing discussion.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulodonfather:
SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 3.....Samsung publicize snapdragon 800 with 300 mhz -2.3 ghz and go on to sell exynos with 250 mhz -1.9 ghz i.e with lesser clock speed in india.

and also out of the so called octa core exynos only 4 cores works integration of the other four cores will happen in the latter stage....

samsung is clearly misleading people in india

and also the 4 k video is not available for this variant of galaxy note 3

Europe and western countries get the best of the variant whereas we guys get the regular dump....

Samsung are you listening........:mad::(
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fulvian:
Samsung and Qualcomm clock speeds are not directly comparable.

Although different, I'd say the difference in performance is negligible.

I believe the version that is sold in a particular country depends on regional marketing decision, notably the purchasing power and LTE coverage in respective country.

For example, here in SEA, Singapore and Malaysia get the Snapdragon LTE version (most expensive), while Indonesia gets Exynos non-LTE version (least expensive).

On the bright side, you get the most affordable version of Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kannanX10:
yes....all the demo devices in india r snapdragon n3 and samsung r selling exynos n3 in india....................
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulodonfather:
and obviously the exynos's lesser download speed compared to snapdragon 800 .......

please Samsung give us the best of true octa core... the speed of A15 with power efficency of A7..:mad::(

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
This is actually the first time Europe actually doesn't get cheated this exact same way.

The S800 variant is the main version, except for countries that do not have LTE.

The S800 version was never announced for India. If you'd done a bit of reading, it'd have been obvious from well before the release. http://www.sammobile.com/2013/08/15...agon-800-variant-sm-n9005-specs-confirmation/

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulodonfather:
Yes did my bit of reading :) EXYNOS OCTA CORE is the announcement but what we are essentially getting is EXYNOS QUAD CORE.. the A7 CORE Is yet to be integrated....A7 is where the power efficiency comes from.....:(
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willstay:
Samsung had released list of counties that would be getting Snapdragon and Exynos. Personally I would like the Exynos as it would be getting update that will enable it to run all the cores at the same time.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I think the exynos could save up more battery because of the octa core processor.

For me this is the most important part. But I've a snapdragon because they only sell this
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TML1504:
wrong! there will be no update which enables to run all 8 cores simultaneously, this won't fit in the thermal design envelope of the device!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willstay:
I think this has more to do with profit margin of Samsung. Exynos being cheaper to produce. And not the purchasing power of consumers. If you look at the market, places where Snapdragon is released, people buy in subsidy paying $200. And places where Exynos is released, people buy paying the full price around $700 or more.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulodonfather:
Samsung misleading...

SO i guess Samsung should be selling it as Exynos Quad core rather than Exynos Octa core

I guess its high time loyal Samsung users see thru this and look for alternatives.....

Paying a bomb for slower variant..!!!!! its a rip offffffff !!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mayank shekhar:

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Volstagg.The.Valiant:
i have a rooted at&t lg e970. i wanted to unlock the bootloader and install recovery on it. so i downloaded freegee,followed all the steps and twrp was installed on my phone. but when i decided to take a back up of my phone,it got switched off and now it wont boot . vol.up + power also takes a ridiculously long time to boot and doesn't work everytime. when vol.up+power does work, i get a recovery screen with power off,recovery,restart bootloader as options. but whichever option i select,i get a google screen and the phone shuts down. any help in this regard would me much appreciated.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Volstagg.The.Valiant:
i'm getting this message when i try to restore my phone using lgnpst.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Volstagg.The.Valiant:
can someone help me with this? phone doesn't boot at 67% or 85%. an gives the above error. any help would be greatly appreciated.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
Does it do anything, like make it to the Rethink Possible screen and then hang?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mikeylikey:
If you look at the read me file it states that 67% and/or 85% means it's complete. Disconnect your phone and reboot. If it gets stuck after the LG splash, then you need to factory reset/wipe data. Hold the pwr button down for 12-15 seconds to make sure the phone powered off. Then press the vol down + pwr to get into the stock factory reset menu.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Volstagg.The.Valiant:
no at 67% phone tries to reboot and LG start screen appears and then it goes into a loop
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Volstagg.The.Valiant:
i'm getting the factory reset menu and even after confirming the reset phone doesn't boot up
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
Which freegee did you use, the PC program or the play store app? You may want to try the teenbin alt. with lgnpst, you will need a ROM copied to your SD card to flash from recovery after running teenybin.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Volstagg.The.Valiant:
i used the freegee play store app. i shall try the lg dll file with teenybin alt with a ROM in my SD card for flash. problem is even teenybin doesn't seem to work. anyways i shall try this today when i get back from work and shall report on the progress. thanks for helping.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Volstagg.The.Valiant:
so i tried to flash teenybin to try and install recovery. but at 67% phone tries to reboot but is not rebooting. and then i get a msg saying that the connection to the phone has been lost. tried the same with teeny altbin also. getting the same response.

can someone explain what i'm doing wrong?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Sounds like you're bricked.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Volstagg.The.Valiant:
any solutions to un-brick my phone?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
This is where you you should boot into recovery to flash ROM. Volume up plus power to get to fastboot, with alt you should be able to see recovery menu. If not it will be volume down twice then power.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Volstagg.The.Valiant:
quick update: installed teenybin successfully and got into recovery mode. but in recovery mode, if i select recovery option and press power button, the google logo flashes and the phone turns off. suggestions?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] fierogt42:
I'm having the same problems. These teenybins are broken. One stalls at the LG logo after rebooting at 67% with a disconnect, bricks with no bootloader/fastboot. The alternate reboots at 67% and stalls at 85% as well with a Google logo that I've never had before, and then my rom crashes everything I open constantly, e.g. not even able to bring up a keyboard. Both have killed my ADB/fastboot completely.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] optimusv45:
Stalls ? That's what's suppose to happen. The Google logo is normal, I have that too. Your ROM crash ? Flash another one in recovery. Teenybins fixed my phone, I don't think they are broke

---------- Post added at 03:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 PM ----------

You still have fastboot and are able to enter download mode so I think your fine. If no recovery, try to do the bin again after reading the instruction thoroughly. The bins work, it fixed my phone. You may have messed it up somewhere
[AT&T LG Optimus G] fierogt42:
Maybe I should be more specific. My previous rom that worked perfectly crashed constantly after the teenybin. One teenybin locks me out of everything but download mode, including recovery, and both teenybins also have made my ADB & fastboot stop working completely. Tell me that's normal too.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] optimusv45:
What's normal is I only tried to help and you continue with your attitude you will just have to help yourself
[AT&T LG Optimus G] fierogt42:
What attitude? Chill out, man.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] autosurgeon:
The teenybins are not broken. They have worked fine for everyone else. That means there is something weird about your phone hardware or you did something wrong on the process. Go back and read the directions again in the teenybin thread and then get on IRC and ask for help with lgnpst. Park the attitude at the door and they will help you.

Hi,

Hey guyz is there anyway where in I can make my lgog look like Samsung? I mean with the status bar,notification pull down battery and Wi-Fi signals?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
The closest you can probably get is running a TouchWiz theme on AOSP and getting the launcher in the themes and apps section.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ankurcshah:
Yeah, I did try that but i am unable to use aosp/cm roms as all of them lag a lot on my phone. So I am on ZVC Rooted now.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iamterence:
Then the only thing you can do is just get the TouchWiz launcher. I don't think Xposed themes play nice with our stock ROMs, but you can try that. That's a whole 'nother can of worms, though.

Under fastboot mode, i erase every partion such as boot,bootloader,system,recovery,userdata, then i flash each of them again except bootloader.

But after that i think my device should not able to boot properly. Actually device still can boot up properly and can be working well.

Could someone tell me why ?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
Hi I live in the United Staes. I am now presented with an opportunity to be able to buy the O2 Exec. So basically I have 2 choices, the Imate Jasjar which is available here, thus with warranty coverage, or the O2 XDA Exec which I really want for its color. I don't really know if there is a hardware difference. I want to buy the O2 Exec from one of the members here. He was kind enough to offer the responsibility to send it to O2 if there is a problem with it later.

Does the I-Mate Jasjar have the corporate settings too?

So if you guys were me, what would you guys go for?

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
Having owned both a JJ and Exec I would, at this point, recommend the Exec because:

- in Corporate mode it is quicker and has more storage space

- it does not appear to have the SMS notification bug

And like you I prefer the all black colour of the XDA.

Also in the UK you can get an unlocked Exec for less than £300 while a JJ can be £540/£640 (contract/SIM free).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Wiz:
The hardware is identical, and the corporate settings on the Exec closely resemble the Jasjar install when you skip the customization after a hard reset. In all honesty, I ended up buying the Exec, it looks way cooler, it also has BLUE keyboard backlight instead of red, which makes it much much better visible at night.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] srmz:
@Jah. Could you kindly elaborate what the SMS notification bug is. I am asking this because for me on the JJ ocasionally when a new SMS arrives it causes my phone to freeze. Just wondering if this is what you are referring to as the bug.

Kind Regards
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
Unfortunate for me that I don't know anyone in the UK. I'll be buying the Unopened Box O2 Exec for £500.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Wiz:
That is what I paid as well, and not too bad in comparison with Jasjar and Qtek 9000 prices.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
Did you bought it direct from O2 or from one of the members here?

Any tips as to check the validity of the sale?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kelford:

This is probably something you already considered and checked, but I thought I'd bring it up just in case. My main concern would be the question of whether it's locked or unlocked. For £500 I would imagine it should be unlocked. Which carrier will you be using?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kelford:
Yes, I have a Jasjar and use T-Mobile. I'm not a big user on the voice side of things and haven't had any problems with reception, but my limited use of that aspect might not make me the best source for an opinion.

I do use the data connection often (which is why I like T-Mobile's $19.99 unlimited data) and haven't had any problem getting a signal that way.

I bought my screen protectors from PPC Techs at http://www.pocketpctechs.com/main~unit~iMATE_JASJAR-496~area~home.htm

Their WriteSHIELDS come in two flavors, the C2 (Crystal Clear) and the AG (Anti Glare.) I've used both and found they are both very good. I have a crystal one on my old Dell and have never had to change it. To me, the crystal one is so clear that you really don't know it's there. That said, I have the anti glare one for my Universal, primarily because of the phone aspect. The anti glare version (which also stands up to usage very well) is also good with keeping fingerprints to a minimum so it works better when you have it up to your face too. PPC Techs offers a package where you can get one of each and that's actually what I bought for the Universal, I'm just using the AG currently.

I bought my Jasjar from Convergent Technology at http://www.convergentech.com/

Their price looks to be $1079.99, down from $1199.99 when I bought it. The color (colour :) )was never an issue for me, so I went with a company I had already worked with to give me a bit more confidence that any issues I might have (which I haven't, fortunately) would be worked out with a minimum of headaches.
