These are the wipes you are looking for:

1. wipe data/factory reset

2. wipe cache partition

3. mounts and storage > format sdcard

4. advanced > wipe dalvik cache

That should leave you with a empty/clean internal sd card, no data (apps, settings, etc.), and your current rom and kernel.

if you want to completely wipe everything and go back to stock Android, just use one of the toolkit and flash stock image. it will wipe everything in the phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otariq:
Or just fast boot the images including the userdata file it'll erase the entire phone memory. Toolkits are convenient but you should know how to use fastboot too it saved me when my recovery wouldn't boot and there was no ROM on the phone.

I tried using the *#0011# method but couldn't past the initial screen.

Please any help would be appreciated. :D
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xAjCx:
All I did was call 611 and told them that I was leaving the country and I need it for business. However they have records that my previous phones have been unlocked for travels as well as me buying phone from them. You could always try and test your luck though. I've read a thread somewhere that someone got their S4A unlocked similar to how I got mine unlocked but they didn't specify whether or not they got it through AT&T or not. Oh and if it doesn't work with one rep, try calling again later with another rep. Supposedly some reps care and look into your records to see if you qualify and others don't give a crap. Good luck!
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinyata:
I have at&t and called them to try to get my phone unlocked. they told me it wasn't possible since I just purchased the phone back in August, even though I've had an account with them for the last decade and have had many unlocked phones with them.

I was told that this policy was changed within the last 2 weeks, not sure if that's a BS line they fed me or not, but have tried calling different reps and have had no luck.

Also, when I enter my number in online to the online request form, it automatically tells me my phone cannot be unlocked. Apparently new policy states that any phone that is still under contract will not be unlocked my AT&T.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timjf:
where are all the helpful replies?

Im in the same boat. There has to b a way. Why cant we roll back the jellybean build to a version that has access to the unlock panel?

Why is unlocking not possible using a root method of some type??? Is this build truely not unlockable without a custom code? MOD Edit: This is a development site. Please do not ask for illegal unlocking methods here
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timjf:
post some links to helpful blogs etc please

This is the leading site for answers but mod says look elsewhere with no helpful redirection..... WTF?

Where should we go now then?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xAjCx:
That's unfortunate. If it was me, I'd just keep trying to test my luck but I guess AT&T wised up a bit. :(

MOD kinda said they are a development site and don't partake in illegal methods. In case you didn't know, unlocking without carrier consent is illegal however rooting/flashing roms and etc aren't since they are just part of the opensource backbone of android. And to answer your question, google is a good place to start if you can't get answers here.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
The reason the mods took issue with this is because the OP is not an AT$T customer, he bought a phone off eBay, and is now looking for someone to help him with his mistake. Carriers only unlock phones for customers as a courtesy, there is no requirement of them to do so. While XDA is all about modding phones, providing unlock codes for people who are not entitled to them is against their policy. Better that he bought one of the many unlocked phones for sale on eBay. I'm surprised the mods didn't also close this thread.

[HTC First] abrahammmmmmm_:
So what I would like for someone to help me with is to get the system.img for the first somehow on my the computer so i can flash it via ADB-Fastboot and get my phone to at least power up to the homescreen; this is because just a few days ago i was testing out some 'things' though they didn't work and decided to wipe the phone. The problem is that I erased EVERYTHING on the phone including system, etc. So now because the first doesn't have an sd card slot I cannot get a way to mount a rom and flash a new system.

All i ask for is a system.img or any tutorial that would work, (I've literally spent 2 nights looking for something but they aren't compatible with the first) using the RUU is out of the question because it's apparently encrypted and won't detect my phone since it just hangs on the facebook logo, also the system dumps on the forum that I've seen don't contain the system.img file. Thank you in advance for your help and troubles! :)

(note that I do not have a way to access ubuntu or any linux computer right now because of various reasons, what i do have is a spare first!)
[HTC First] killall-q:
What's stopping you from flashing a ROM from recovery? ADB push the ROM file into /sdcard from recovery.

The most common fix to get RUU working is to relock your bootloader. You can run RUU from fastboot.
[HTC First] abrahammmmmmm_:
Well recovery works perfectly but there is no rom or file in the sd card at all because of the total system wipe, and ADB doesn't seem to detect my phone since it requires USB debbuging (or am i wrong?) and usb debugging isn't accessible since it hangs on the facebook logo. Only when it's in fastboot does it get recognized; but im not aware of a way to push the rom files through fastboot? I would very appreciate a tutorial if there is! :D that's why im looking for a system.img that i can flash using fastboot.

And as for the RUU I can't get to the Fastboot screen on the program because it first needs to confirm my phone model and system which it can't because it requires USB Debugging to be turned on on the phone. Also would relocking the bootloader still be necessary even though I have S-off?

About doing the ADB push through recovery to sd card, I don't see any option like that on the menu. I have CWM would I need TWRP for that?
[HTC First] killall-q:
USB debugging is only needed in the OS. In recovery you can do a lot of things even without root. ADB just has trouble detecting a device that's gone through a firmware change, just type "adb kill-server" and try again. You don't need to mount anything to push to /sdcard.

Do RUU as a last resort, since getting S-off again after relocking the bootloader is an elaborate process. But don't worry about the warnings. RUU will work when your phone is in fastboot, the first thing it does is reboot your phone anyway.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] chuck-fu:
I accidentally deleted one of my folders from the Sense gallery. It's not the end of the world, but I'd really like to get them back if possible. I've been digging around for an hour or so for solutions, and aside from promising apps like DiskDigger (which found some photos, but couldn't FTP or e-mail them to me), I haven't had any luck. The other app people talk about 'Undelete', doesn't seem to work for the One (I'm rooted using the launch day boot unlock code, if that helps).

I've tried a couple of windows based approaches (by mounting the phone as a USB device), but no luck there. Anyone have any luck recovering photos and zoes on a One?

Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] res0prw2:
Do you back them up to Dropbox? Best way to prevent accidental deletions of your photos, otherwise I think you are out of luck. Wish I could offer more help, I once deleted a bunch of family photos by accident so I know how much it can suck.

It sucks to lose them. My wife bricked her phone and it had over 5800 pictures on it (no joke...she works for local animal shelter and uses her phone to find homes etc).

[Java for Android App Development] omni_angel7:
This one goes out to the hardcore low-level android guys. I bow down to your awesomeness and mystique. I could really use a hand here... I promise I'll pay the knowledge forward!

Details in my StackOverflow post:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19462069/challenge-android-display-splitting

Basic goals:

-Intercept Android video output via HDMI, MHL, etc.

-If possible, increase the resolution to 150% of the original width (see why below):

-(See image below) The left half of the external screen needs to adopt the left 3/4 of the chosen output resolution, while the right half needs to adopt the right 3/4 of the chosen output resolution.

Thanks so much guys!

-omni
[Java for Android App Development] PicomatStudios:
Hmm, this is an interesting one.

I would be surprised (without doing some extremely gnarly low level mucking about with ROMs and perhaps even the devices themselves) if you can send anything out of the HDMI which isn't the output of the screen.

So I guess this leaves you with 2 options

1 - render the desired format on the device itself, so that it can be spat out of the HDMI output (by rendering the video twice, offset)

2 - find some other way to output it

May need a few more details about your environment here.

My guess is that ideally you would like to view the video as-normal on the device, plug your device into a big screen and have it do the strange double image thing (maybe for some 3D type experience?)

Somebody mentioned ffmpeg on your Stackoverflow post which I can confirm is the way to do it if you need to do your own video processing. Typically that's what the various video players on the Play store use.

Be warned that it is non trivial and will involve C/NDK rather than Java.

Even then though, you're probably looking at option (1), since (2) is likely to require some hardware plugged into the external screen I think.

I am wondering, if this is for video, whether you couldn't just play the video twice in 2 VideoViews offset / overlapped as required ?

Doesn't fix your resolution requirement and may have a few problems with speed/syncing but I think worth a try to start with.

An S4 is 1920*1080 so that's not terrible output quality for a big screen.
[Java for Android App Development] omni_angel7:
Good guess :P It may not need to be an auto-detected swap when plugged in. A gui toggle would suffice.

I'm going to PM you a few more details that shouldn't be public.

Good sir,

I really appreciate your well-communicated feedback. By no means was I expecting this to be trivial-- I certainly realize I'm getting into rarely traveled territory here. Your confirmation on ffmpeg concurrence then splitting as the order of feasible operations here would make it seem that you know what you're talking about. As these will be my first shots at this sort of thing, are there perhaps any helpful resources/reference materials you can provide me with?

You have my sincere thanks,

-omni
[Java for Android App Development] PicomatStudios:
No problem, replied to your PM.

It may be that you'll end up needing an ffmpeg expert (which I'm definitely not!) however I've sent you some stuff to get the ball rolling - let me know if it arrives. Good luck!
[Java for Android App Development] omni_angel7:
For the sake of the public knowledge, when the path forward is clear I'll be summarizing the thought process in this thread!

Huge thanks to this awesome guy :)
[Java for Android App Development] omni_angel7:
So just a follow-up for any curious readers. I settled on two custom VideoViews (overriding onMeasure()) in a relativelayout. They both play the same movie and I mute one of them. Directly after the CustomVideoView.start() calls for both, I call seekTo(0) to sync them up. If it turns out that they get unsynced over time, I could always have a Timer.scheduleAtFixedRate task that syncs them up every so often using seekTo. There may be better ways, and I'll certainly be improving upon this in the future. Huge thanks to [MENTION=4840880]PicomatStudios[/MENTION] for the initial ideas :D I got many kudos from my bosses and I owe them largely to him!

You can enter bootloader mode by holding down the volume down button.

Then you can re-flash a custom recovery via fastboot.

Then you can mount your USB and copy a custom ROM to storage.

And then flash the custom ROM, but don't forget to also flash the boot.img via fastboot (it's in the zip of the custom ROM)

2. The phone is not very stable, i mean while playing a game or some other work,SOMTIMES it restarts by it self, and somtimes hard resets by it self so i again have to align the screen etc.
