So I got a Optimus G E-971, and it is currently on rogers. Now I know it may be a long shot but is there a way to unlock this phone without having to pay, I am strapped for cash for a week and need the phone ASAP, as I am starting a small business.

The device is "Unlocked, and Rooted" but I had gotten my hopes up when I did both of them thinking that it would unlock my phone to be used on a different carrier.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
Nope. But 4$ is not that much:)

[LG Optimus G (International)] JoeUber:
It is when you don't have more than a cent in your accounts.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
True words,but,unfortunatelly there is no way to unlock this phone.
[LG Optimus G (International)] t1mman:
Exactly, if you want it unlocked, you need to pay for it.

If you don't have the 4$ for the unlock, I wounder how you pay the bill for the device...!
[LG Optimus G (International)] JoeUber:
Haha because I only pay monthly so I can normally afford it when the bill comes, anywho I was planning on buying a code today, but problem is now for some reason my phone is telling me it's permanently locked, is there a way to reverse this?
[LG Optimus G (International)] MitoTakatori:
What is the exact message?
[LG Optimus G (International)] JoeUber:
I turn the device on with the SIM card and it says "This phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked." Yet just because I was curious tried another sim card and it didn't give me this error, I also tried this sim card on another phone and it worked fine.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ping0904:
Hi, guys~

I am using Note3(SM-N9005, Singapore, Singtel).

I rooted my device with de la Vega root.

So there is not issue with Knox counter yet.(0x0)

But I need to go to service center so I have to reflash original firm.

I have a original firm(AP: N9005XXUBMJ1)

I will flash XXUBMJ1 with odin(3.09).

The questions are

1. Should I

factory reset

first before flash Original Firm or do not need?

2. I have only AP file but do not have CSC file, is it OK? Or have download CSC also?(Where is it?)

3. After Flash Original Firm, the knox warranty will be fine?

Thanks before!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bilnaad:
Got it

i found a solution for this problem. i'm running windows 8 and idisplay would only mirror my screen. This is what i did:

go to screen resolution(right mouse button on desktop) and press detect. In my case 2 additional monitors popped up. turn one of these screens on and extend your main monitor. you only have to do this once!!

next start your teamviewer app on your tablet and connect to your laptop/pc. it should detect the monitor you just created so now you can switch to it. thats it. perhaps not the best solution but i couldn't think of something else and trust me i've tried.

about the performance... for me its just as good as idisplay or even better

and a bonus tip i want to share. install connectify on your laptop/pc and connect to your personal hotspot with your tablet. this wil speed things up quite a bit.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] ygtenos:
Just found out on this site that apparently our device -should- be getting an official Samsung upgrade to 4.4

Now, a similar list stated that it was going to get a 4.2 upgrade as well, but we never got it, didn't we?

So, how up should we keep our hopes?

I personally find it extremely doubtful.

Also, apparently kitkat should be smoother and more lightweight than jellybean, so that it could apparently run even on older devices.

I'm a bit skeptical on this as well, but if it were true, we would find ourselves with a very interesting new os upgrade...

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] adamuadamu:
IMO it would be fapping over useless numbers - "look buddy, I've gotten android 4.4"

observing that every next android needs more and more ram including the fact that samsung would never release an official rom without their heavy-weight Touchwiz - this upgrade won't happen;

2 more reasons:

- sammy is not willing to release two system updates/upgrades for a single phone except for their flagships like s, s2, s3 or note family

- I expect to see same excuse as for galaxy s9000 - not enough ram for the system and touchwiz as was the case for the expected official upgrade to ICS for the device (or no explanation at all)

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Shiningb:
Well... we won't be getting official 4.2 from Samsung

Getting 4.4 is impossible, many manufacturers don't want to lose money and time updating old phones such as this one

Only s4 and note 3 will get it

I bet they won't give support even to the s3

S advance is a very old phone and having jb on it was something rare, imagine an new android on this phone officially

4.4 only cm
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Nishad1982:
There was rumour of 4.2 too. But where is it? I want neither 4.2 nor 4.4.

I want them to improve the running one.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Jeroenvk94:
We didn't get 4.2 because it was very heavy software.

4.4 will be lighter with less RAM usage, which allows a wider support.

Verstuurd van mijn GT-I9070 met Tapatalk
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Shiningb:
Hmmm, really hope for it to have less RAM usage

So hopefully low end (such as the l3) will be supported as well (via cm)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] ygtenos:
To be honest, yes, cm or custom ROMs are what I would expect. Probably more than the official firmware update itself.

Judging by teamcanjica's activities as of late, I wouldn't be surprised if we were to get it relatively soon.

These guys are amazing.

Also, does anybody know much about that French company that Google has acquired to speed the whole new system up?

Can't remember the name right now...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] juanchotazo99:
Well, after trying TeamCanjica's 10.2, I have no doubt that once they get their hands on 4.4 or CM10.3 (is it 10.3 up next?) they'll get it running just fine. I've said it before, I'm saying it again... these guys are wizards.

I don't know if our phones would handle 4.2/4.3/4.4 with samsung's bloatware and be useful after our experience with 4.1.2, but something as lightweight as CM, yeah, why not.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] arffrhn:
Less ram usage.. But then every manufacturer build a new device with higher ram..even on the Nexus 5. Seems contradicting at some point but maybe that is what people want.

Maybe you meant to say that we're not gonna get a touchwiz update, but a CyanogenMod/custom ROM instead?

You can't really believe that Samsung would release a touchwiz-less update, can you?

Also, of course manufacturer would sell devices with more ram. They wouldn't be able to justify higher pricing if they wouldn't! I reckon they wouldn't care for minor ram consumption... And I suppose that more ram is still a good thing altogether, right?

Android 4.4

Well , the ibitimes article only mentioned that some of the mid range and lower midrange devices may be NOMINATED for a 4.4 update.

Clearly there is no confirmation. Although I am not interested in samsung's official ROMs which are nothing but bloatware I only hope they release the sources for our device. Then we can take care of ourselves. There are very good developers and communities for I9070/P and they badly need the sources to make their ROMs perfect. So I feel samsung must release sources instead of contemplating update process. Also I strongly feel that if at all samsung develops 4.4 firmware for our device they will surely mess it up as they did with JB 4.1. Anyway keeping fingers crossed.:fingers-crossed:

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] juanchotazo99:
STE doesn't even exist anymore. Whoever has the sources is more than unlikely to release them. Quite a shame, actually. One never knows, anyway.

We can only dream and hope for samsung to have a moment of clarity and update all its "forgotten" devices to 4.4.. or else, to cheer for and help our saviors, Team Canjica, to throw their wands around and do their magic coding...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] willi9070:
yeah i know those things, i am saying like 10.2 if kitkat too gets ported it 'll be great and better than samsung which in no way can come to our phone, stability of cm ofcourse depends on sources :)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] ManiacShri:

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] ygtenos:
I've just read around about the new "art" which could replace dalvik.

Now, from what I could understand, it works so that instead of relying on the dalvik vm everytime processes are run, it optimizes the code when a new application is installed (or when the devices switches to "art" from the developers options, in which case it optimises the code for the whole system and apps previously installed).

Apparently this would significantly reduce battery drains while improving performances.

Sounds awesome, right?

KitKat should provide us with such a magnificent treat, but I've also read that this "art" thing only works officially as of now (duuuh) on nexus devices, that it's not 100℅ bug free yet and that it could fail to work on other devices.

What are your thoughts on the matter?

Anyone with more android knowledge than your average jack (I.e. me)?

Sent. That's it.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Paul L.:
ART means that instead on running Java code on top of Dalvik VM (VM=Virtual Machine) to get the same mathematical results on every Android supported CPU architecture (ARM, IA-32 -x86-, IA64 -x86_64, MIPS and RISC if I remember correctly), any code in ART (Android RunTime, what a misterious acronym lol) is directly parsed as Native assembly code (machine code), depending on what CPU is Android running on. So instead of APK (in Java) -> dex (Dalvik executable) -> Dalvik VM (hypervisor) -> CPU instruction is going to be APK (in Java) -> ART (direct translation/interpretation, no conversion to .dex) -> CPU.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] ygtenos:
On paper it sounds very interesting. I've been looking for some comparison videos on YouTube though, and as of now there doesn't seem to be much of a difference.

Maybe it just needs to be implemented a read more? It's also true that they were showing nexus 5s, those uber powerhouses, so I wonder whether art wouldn't have a much bigger impact on our 9070...

How much positive thinking can one dwell into before being undeniably delusional? :)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ittarish:
Hello!

Alright, so I thought I'd make a thread for this as I'm not getting much help in other threads.

I have a FIDO xperia U, it has a locked bootloader, and cannot be updated (officially) past GingerBread.

I want to tackle my problems as they come, but so far I've had at least 5. Alas, I am going to start with not being able to flash stock ICS on to this phone.

All drivers for flashtool are installed properly, and the phone is basically dead, it is having a restart loop issue right now but that doesn't really matter for what I'm trying to do.

When I start flashing, I get as far as reconnecting the phone in fastboot mode, here is my log:

24/011/2013 01:11:00 - INFO - Start Flashing

24/011/2013 01:11:00 - INFO - Processing loader

24/011/2013 01:11:00 - INFO - Checking header

24/011/2013 01:11:00 - INFO - Ending flash session

24/011/2013 01:11:00 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted

24/011/2013 01:11:00 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode

24/011/2013 01:11:03 - INFO - Device disconnected

As you can see the phone connects in flash mode, but then the phone instantly disconnects. Basically when I unplug the phone, it is off, I then hold the vol down button and plug it back in, the phone then says "SONY" and this is where the phone disconnects, it then shows the battery charging icon.

Anyone have any tips?

Answers to questions before they come:

Device has locked bootloader

Device is not rooted

Drivers are installed correctly

Sony Companion is not open or active when the phone gets plugged in

No antivirus is enabled

EDIT: The more I look at what's going on with my phone the more it seems soft-bricked. It has absolutely no connectivity, and is in a bootloop. But still this shouldn't break fastboot, which is where my issue is stemming from.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Toledo_JAB:
FASTBOOT is only for unlocked bootloaders.

If you have a locked bootloader then you have to use FLASHMODE or hold volume down button when phone is off.

Please read the first 2 post in the XPERIA RECOVERY thread.

In those post you find step by step help with flashing stock firmware.

The information will be very helpful.

As for the OTHER thread not being much help, well....

To start with your request for help is less than 24 hours old. XDA is a world wide site and you have to give time for members to wake up.

And according to THE XDA RULES, that you just agreed to when you just signed up, duplicate posting is not allowed. Neither is bumping a post before 24 hours has past.

Also you made a "HELP ME" post in a thread for a specific software patch. Not the proper place for a request for help.

I personally answered you and suggested that you use existing threads to get help.

Then another helpful RC member also provided assistance.

I am not sure what you expect from XDA, a development site NOT a customer support site.

You need to learn how to search the forum for existing threads that have already covered this topic.

I have deleted your off-topic posts in the patch thread.

I am also closing this thread.

You need to use the existing help threads for your issue. It has been covered.

[Themer General Discussion] wilsojer:
Apologies if this has been asked and answered before, but I searched and couldn't find anything.

I'm playing around with the 'Sky' theme and trying to tailor it for my purposes. I've changed the number of home screens from 3 to 5 and have amended the wallpapers accordingly. On the far right wallpaper, there is a whitened off section with some divider lines. There is a widget with "News", "Maps", etc. that fits with those dividers. I then needed to move the hotspot icons over from their original page and this is where I'm coming unstuck. There is a "snap to grid" functionality going on that means that I can't line up the icons with the titles - they are often "snapped" slightly off alignment to the section titles. I've tried playing with the number of rows and columns and can get it to look better, but never perfect.

Does anyone know if there is a way to turn off the "snap to grid" and simply be able to position the icons in exactly the place you want ?

Thanks in advance !
[Themer General Discussion] ThemerSupport:
Hi wilsojer,

This is a tough one, as the icons and alignment weren't designed to be altered. Your best bet would be to delete the icons and then look for similar icon images on the net. From here you would add these icons as images inside the Everything Widget that contains the text. Apologies for the inconvenience.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WeabSSH:
Hello guys.

I got my hands on my SONY XPERIA Z 2 weeks ago. Then I updated it to the Jelly Bean 4.2.2 immediately.

3 days ago, I got the 2.67 update. Next up, I decided to root my device. So I googled "XPERIA Z C6602 10.3.A.2.67 root".

I don't know what the number was, but the last 4 digits were 2.67, the latest update actually.

In time, I noticed that I had to unlock the boot loader first.

So I d/l'ed the Minimal Fastboot & Adb from the XDA and had gotten my Key through the SONY UNLOCK BOOTLOADER service.

I ran the minimal fastboot & adb then unlocked the phone. I ended up a data-wiped XZ after the operation as the 13-page application menu had gone and a 3-page one remained from stock XZ Jelly Bean firmware. That was normal actually, but the thing is that I ran the UBL operation on my smartphone solely to ensure that I have a BL unlocked smarty.

What I got after the second time unlocking was, um, SONY & XPERIA splash screen and then multiple reboots. Thus, I did some googling and noticed how to switch off the unit, using VOL+ & Power method. Now every time I boot it up, it keeps rebooting over & over.

As you all know, I cannot update/repair it through SUS or PC Companion as it's BL unlocked & EMMA is unavailable in my area.

I couldn't find a 4.2.2 C6602 Stock FTF but a 4.1.2 FTF to use with my XZ. I have to use Androxyde Flashtool.

Will this kind of downgrade kill my BLU'ed smartphone or can anyone help me out uploading the C6602 4.2.2 Global Generic FTF stock firmware or a link? Are there any other ways to relieve my phone?

Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.
