i dont think you can update with an unlocked recovery... if you have cwm you have an unlocked recovery and i dont think you can relock it.

also you dont need to update if you have cwm then all you need to do is flash a MI1 rom (once they come out) and youre good. there is NO reason you would need to ACTUALLY update. you can flash pretty much everything whilst still keeping unlocked recovery under actual MDK firmware but with MI1 (or ME7) rom kernel and radios.

There is no unlocked bootloader on the s4 what allows the installation of custom recovery is the loki exploit and its reversible.

There is no link or post on it really. Its a patched recovery and boot image so when you odin back to a factory image they get replaced with the non patched versions

Quick Qestion

I have a quick question, and i dont want to make a who new thread about it. But since we already talkin about it on here, is it worth it to do this Verizon update?? I just did a Verizon update 2 days ago. And now to me i think it just aggitated me. My Email are different now. My delete button moved and it added more buttons. And my task manager seems a lil different. Cant seem to put my finger on it.. But its weird. What else has changed? Was it even worth doing an update?

Phone Details:

- Xperia Z (T-Mobile) C6606

- Firmware or Build 10.1.1.B.0.166

I was able unbrick my phone and hope the method I used is helpful to others.

****Here's what happened.....******

Got the phone from T-Mobile had a lot of useless apps. Tried to root the phone all kinds of ways. Connected the phone to PC and opened up Flashtool. Flashtool did not detect the phone. I had to go into USB debugging and uncheck it off and check it back on, phone was detected and it says Root Access Allowed.

Installed Dual Recovery.. and installed the rom from zip. Rom instructions as follow:

Requirements: (Click on link below to get them)

1. Root - You probably don't really need this since this ROM itself also include stable and proper root package but most locked bootloader phones require root access to install recovery.

2. CWM/TWRP Recovery support - This is the real requirements. If you can access Recovery to flash this ROM, the rest should be working fine like root/busybox. Sadly you'll need either root or get custom kernel with recovery so you can forget root and be done with.

Instructions did not say install a different firmware, so I am thinking I can use my original firmware since the rom was based on a stock rom.

After installation of custom zip, cleared dalvik cache and reboot the phone. The phone bricked on me. All it did was cycle through the sony xperia boot screen and restart over and over again. I couldn't even get back to recovery(pressing vol. down on reboot) to restore my back up of my previous rom.

*****How I unbricked my phone*****

Remembered back in the day when I was flashing roms for on my previous xperia... I use Sony Companion Suite to restore my phone back to factory. Luckily it worked for my Xperia Z and now I am back with the stock rom.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exclaimed:
After flashing 4.3 leak on my I9500 using Odin 3.09, it doesn't boot up as it should, I have wiped data/cache, but to no avail. I even flashed the Russian official 4.3 firmware, but it just doesn't boot up as it should.

When I turn on the phone, the phone stops right after the "Galaxy S4 I9500," screen. I see a black screen right after that.

I tried to downgrade my phone using Odin 3.09, 3.07 and 3.04, but it keeps failing. My S4 shows "unsupported version," when I try to flash stock 4.2.2.

I am guessing this is probably happening because of the newer bootloader, the newer bootloader is making it impossible to downgrade to an older version.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hypergamer1231:
ok try this first use the cf root provided in the cf root thread and then dload the latest 4.2.2 http://samsung-updates.com/details/14135/Galaxy_S_4_Exynos_Octa/GT-I9500/XFE/I9500XXUBMH1.html from here and flash it see what happens
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exclaimed:
Solved.

The problem was that I didn't flash the stock rom that came with my phone. I flashed that and my phone was restored to its factory settings. However my imei was messed up, it was showing me 0049. I rooted, flashed twrp recovery and used twrp to restore from a backup and I got my imei back along with my data.

I will wait for 4.3 to become flashable and see how it goes then.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojitochica:
Ok, I have soft bricked, probably radio bricked, developer edition with the HTC logo on a black screen with triangles in each corner of the screen, and I'm stuck in RUU mode.

I was trying to return to stock from the OTA update to 1.29.1540.17 to get a pre-patched 1.44 hboot to try to get S OFF. I thought the nandroid I flashed was 1.29.1540.3 but it was 1.29.1540.17 nandroid, so when I tried to apply the .3 RUU it failed with error 152. I figured out I was on .17 via getvar and flashed the 1.29.1540.17 zip in fastboot, but that ends with a FAILED (remote: 51 partition update fail) error, which google and searching here indicates a radio brick.

Now some time after I took the OTA, which I now know was a bad idea, I flashed the 4A.17.3250.14_10.39.1150.04L radio. The stock radio was 4A.14.3250.13_10.33.1150.01. I still have that radio and tried flashing it in fastboot, but it looks like I can only flash signed since I got a FAIL (remote: 12 signature verify fail) error.

Any suggestions to at least get my phone functional? If we can't get my phone working, is this something HTC can fix? If they can fix this any idea how much it might cost? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

ETA 2: Nevermind. It finally stopped blinking after 11 hours. ETA: I can't turn off the phone, so I unplugged from the usb to let it sit over night. When I came to look at it this morning, it was dead. When I plugged it into the usb it did come on, but the orange light blinking for the last 8 hours regardless of whether or not the phone is plugged in. My research says the battery has extremely low and that the blinking should have stopped after 20 minutes of being plugged in. Any idea what's going on?

Info that might help solve my problem

Did you try running the RUU.exe to see if it could fix it?

Perhaps it was a corrupted zip file?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojitochica:
Well I got the .3 RUU and the .17 zip from HTCdev. I guess I could download them again. I didn't see any md5 files, so I can't tell if the files are corrupted... Do you know of another way to verify the files are OK?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crushalot:
Not other than to browse my site and check the MD5 of the files I have posted and compare.

What about using a EXE RUU?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojitochica:
HTCdev didn't have a RUU for 1.29.1540.17. I will check out your site though. Thanks!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojitochica:
Ok, I downloaded the file from your site and did an md5 check, so that file isn't corrupted. When I ran the RUU it sat at 'verifying your android phone' for 45 minutes until I killed the process. But before I killed the process I grabbed the rom.zip file. Then I tried to fastboot flash rom.zip, and it took 107 minutes to tell me FAIL (command write failed (Invalid argument)). Do you have any other suggestions?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojitochica:
Sovled Kinda

I flashed the 3.22.1540.1, which failed, and then I tried the .17 zip again and it passed. So I guess the solution is keep flashing something in hopes that it works.

As the title suggests has anyone been able to download the source for our device from the samsung open source release website.

I have tried approximately 20 times with different browsers and that and continually get the file timed out or whatever.

Is it possibly a ploy by samsung to release without actually releasing it by having it fail each download or am i just being a conspiracy theorist

if anyone is able to download it would you be able to create a torrent or something that I or others can download from?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jigglynuts:
While i do agree that benchmarking is not very important as far as higher scores always being better but it is nice to see how your phone does under certain situations. It can help you to determine if you may be having an issue. For example, if your fps is half of what everyone else that has a note 3 on the same rom/kernel, it will show you that something is not right.

As for benchmarking i do like 3d mark. It is cross platform between ios, android and pc. So it is cool to see how differently our phones behave in comparison to an even larger variety of devices and architectures.

Okay so maybe I'm just dumb, but I cannot figure out what the problem is.

I wanted tto upgrade my tf700 to android 4.2.

So I followed forum instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2223492

I was on twrp 2.5.0.0 and bootloader 10.4.4. I downloaded the update from the link but nothing happens when I try to install it (maybe I'm not doing it right) I need detailed intruction on how to upgrade the bootloader specifically, then i tried installing open revoverscript in goo manager and now TWRP says 2.6 and the bootloader still says 10.4.4.

Very Confused at this point!!!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
After installing do you get the success message? Reboot and you should get a blue bar goto 100% after 60 secs or so.

How exactly are you flashing the file? Detail your steps please.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Squarebizz:
I downloaded the file from the link.

Open up goomanager

Select flash rom

Select the file

Tablet reboots

Same issue, bootloader doesn't update eventhoughtwrp is 2.6

Thats wrong isn't it . . .
[Asus Transformer TF700] Dzwiedz:
If you have installed TWRP recovery, first you have to boot to this recovery. Hold power button and volume down button until you tablet start to reboot.. It will boot you to bootloader after that press volume up button. It will lunch a TWRP recovery script. In TWRP menu select install button then give a path to your bootloader file and swipe a button to install it. After that press reboot button.

Yeah don't do it like this - it's totally wrong. No wonder you can't get it working. I'm not sure what instructions you are following but that is not how you flash an update.You must flash it manually in twrp. Consider yourself lucky you haven't bricked. The only thing goomanager works for on our tabs is flashing TWRP.

Follow the instructions above.

See what? Which file have you actually downloaded?

Are you downloading the bootloader / TWRP package fro my CROMi-X thread? If so put it on the sd card and flash it from Twrp. Have you told Twrp where to look?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Squarebizz:
1. I currwntly have twrp 2.6, will what you say work with twrp2.5?

2. Once I move the file to the sd card how do I " flash it from Twrp."

3. How do I tell twrp wher to look?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
TWRP 2.6 is fine.

Have you ever flashed anything from twrp? do you know how to get into it?

In TWRP choose install and then go to the folder you put the zip file and select it.....
[Asus Transformer TF700] Squarebizz:
Yes. I've done this with the file from your tutorial. Twrp is blank where the file should be? So I cannot install the file
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Then you haven't gone to the right folder. Are you sure you are on the external/internal storage. You may need to switch. It'll be something stupidwhen you see it :)
