[LG Optimus G Pro] koniakki:
Hey guys I will keep this simple.

I have been offered a straight up trade with an LG G PRO E988 for my Samsung Mega 6.3 i9200.

We all know the difference and I know in terms of screen estate is a huge downgrade(especially in videos/movies/games which is my primary use), but I think the 1080p LCD and the Snappy 600/Adreno 320 will make up for it a lot for that "smaller" screen.

I got used to the Mega now and even the Note 3 a friend has, feels a lot "smaller" than my Mega.

But I think the better specs as I said will make up for it. And I'm sure I will get used to the "smaller" screen over time.

I have to decide until tonight. Please I would love to hear your thoughts on this and especially from E988 owners.

P.S: One thing. I read somewhere that the Indian version E988 doesn't have FM Radio? Any confirmations?

Mods I'm not sure if this belongs to the Q&A/Help sub-forum or in the General thread, so please move accordingly if necessary.
[LG Optimus G Pro] koniakki:
HTC Max not an option. Too expensive. We are talking about or over 300euros difference. I'm in the EU.

And I really love my Mega. I had it for over a month now and I absolutely love it. Plants vs Zombies 2, Dead Trigger 2, The Hobbit 1080p on it, all are an amazing experience.

But I had my eye on the G Pro for a while now tbh. I'm just looking to see if I can find some constructive input on it vs the Mega.
[LG Optimus G Pro] kelvintisw:
In that case, keep your 6.3"!
[LG Optimus G Pro] koniakki:
Any MORE opinion guys? All those of you who have the LG G Pro already cant say anything about it? :p
[LG Optimus G Pro] vivebatu:
I have not used the mega so can't comment on it... But OG Pro is a brilliant brilliant phone, no doubt about it... Screen is big at 5.5 " and processor, internal storage are all top no ch...my reason for buying the OG Pro was a) battery life, b) a swiss army knife of hardware features ( removable battery , SD card slot, NFC, wireless charging, 13 mp camera etc , list goes on) ...until now ( more than 3 months with the OG pro) and the phone has exceeded my expectations
[LG Optimus G Pro] bandar99944:
LG Optimus G Pro is better, it has quad-core processor and perfect screen size 5.5.
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
Having gone from a long line of Samsung devices prior to the LG Optimus G Pro, I can say that the screen is remarkably good. I much prefer it to the super saturated and artificial colors of AMOLED. It's much more pleasant overall for reading and image viewing. There's no doubt that I'll stick with IPS from now on over AMOLED.
[LG Optimus G Pro] koniakki:
The Mega has an LCD. Also I saw a review/comparison(it was phonearena iirc) between the Mega and the GPro and I really liked the GPro.

Anw thanks guys for the replies.

I'm gonna go for it. And if I regret I can always get another Mega, after I sell the GPro.. ;)

I used Flashtool to flash the Generic Spain rom (4.2.2) and I was trying to revert back to the stock US T-Mobile rom (4.1.2) like a month later and it would just boot loop. I'm not rooted and only used Flashtool. Is there something I'm missing? I had to reflash the Spain rom to get it working again. What should I do? Just so you know I choose not to wipe data like I did when updating to 4.2.2. Thanks.

You will just have to wipe to downgrade. There is no other way I know of.

Backup your most important data and only restore user apps/data. Don't restore system apps/data cause that can pity you back to bootloop

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesk8rguitarist:
I got an AT&T HTC One last night from someone who said they had bricked it. They were actually beginners and someone else had rooted their phone, but he had deleted the OS. Here's what I know: It's loaded with TWRP (2.6), the phone fails to mount the USB, ADB Sideloading doesn't seem to work, When I reboot to Bootloader it says "***Tampered***, ***Unlocked***, and S-On." I also tried loading the phone in Fastboot USB and running the RUU with no luck since the computer can't seem to recognize the phone.

I know this is fixable and if I could get it to mount, I'd be golden. What do I do?

Thanks so much in advance for your help!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesk8rguitarist:
No other workaround? Not a huge issue, I would just have to wait for the thing to be shipped to me.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1234d:
Sideloading would've been the work-around, but since adb doesn't seem to be working, I guess not. You could try from a different comp or reflash your recovery and see if that helps.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesk8rguitarist:
Let me make sure:

in TWRP I go to Advanced, then ADB Sideload, I swipe the bar at the bottom, then it says:

"ADB Sideload

Usage: adb sideload filename.zip

Updating partition details...

starting ADB sideload feature..."

From then, the loading bar just keeps going and there's never a change. So I know I'm doing it correctly, am I supposed to have something pulled up in the terminal on my comp when I do this? I have the SDK. Got to SDK>Platform-tools>adb in the terminal before connecting the USB? I swear I must just be doing one wrong step.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1234d:
Yep, keep the rom in the same folder as the adb tools, and type

adb sideload rom.zip

Go into fastboot on your phone and try the command: "fastboot devices" on your computer, if it get recognized we can go further from there for finding your CID and flashing an RUU.

I rebooted into bootloader and made sure phone said Fastboot USB. In the terminal I typed cd [...]sdk/platform-tools, then typed adb which brought up all the commands for adb. I then typed "devices" it didn't recognize any devices attached, I then typed "fastboot", it brought up all the fastboot commands, I typed "devices" here and still no luck recognizing any devices.

New development. It seems I can get adb to recognize the phone... i think.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
yes now you can either sideload a custom rom for install, OR you can type "adb reboot bootloader" then do "fastboot getvar all" tell us the output here for installing stock RUU

Alright looking at the getvar output this RUU should be for you

http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip-m7_ul_jb_50_cingular-1-26-502-15-decrypted-zip/

download it and move it to the same folder as adb and fastboot and rename it to ruu.zip

type this command when you are inside fastboot "fastboot oem rebootRUU"

now you should see the HTC logo now do "fastboot flash zip ruu.zip"

this only prepares is so run the samecommand again "fastboot flash zip ruu.zip"

The green status bar usually does not reach the 100% mark. When the output in the command window is complete, you can reboot:

"fastboot reboot"

if this doesn't work you need to be S-OFF

but instead you can download an ruu.exe

http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...20_10-40-1150-04_release_326691_signed_2-exe/

first charge your battery

then go inside fastboot and type fastboot oem rebootRUU

RUU must be capital letters

then just run the EXE file you downloaded
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesk8rguitarist:
adb sideload rom - *cannot read 'rom*

adb reboot bootloader - error: closed

I also downloaded both files you submitted and placed and named them accordingly.

In Fastboot USB, typed in the cmd:

fastboot oem rebootRUU - <waiting for device>

No change on device, then immediately ran the .exe but returned a connection error.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
So if you type fastboot devices no devices show up? When in fastboot usb mode of course
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qzcgd:
Judging from the picture you didn't quite get that right... No idea why you tried to issue adb commands to go back to fastboot after your phone was in sideload mode... Sideload is a different system than normal adb. You put the phone in sideload mode (and leave it there), than you use

adb sideload nameofyourrom.zip

It needs to be a zip file...

Otherwise the other option, which might be simpler for you, is to :

Put the phone back in standard recovery (not sideload)

While in recovery, type

adb push [pathonyourcomputer/nameofyourrom.zip] /sdcard/rnameofyourrom.zip

Select "Install zip" on your phone

Select "Choose zip from sdcard"

Choose your zip file that you just uploaded

I don't think he needs an RUU, he simply needs to read a little and follow the steps that we're giving him...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesk8rguitarist:
I swear I'm following these steps exactly. I'm including everything I typed in cmd and the platform-tools folder which includes the RUU and ROM. If you'd like to enter a chat service like skype or something, let me know.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesk8rguitarist:
correct
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qzcgd:
Ok. If I were you I would redownload the ROM and try to use adb push instead.

If that doesn't work, then here is what I would do. You will lose everything with my method though. Do this, and make sure you follow the exact instructions :

Use revone to get S-OFF

Type

fastboot oem rebootRUU

Once you see the silver HTC logo, type

fastboot erase cache

Type

fastboot erase userdata

Type

fastboot erase system

Type

fastboot erase linux

Type

fastboot erase recovery

Type

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Now you pretty much a blank slate, you'll want to reflash your firmware (you can get the latest here) :

Prepare your firmware.zip file for imminent flashing.

Type

fastboot erase cache

Type

fastboot oem rebootRUU

Once it's rebooted on a silver HTC logo, type :

fastboot flash zip [pathonyourcomputer/firmware.zip]

You should the following message :

FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)
finished. total time: [I]X.xxx[/I] s

Re-type :

fastboot flash zip [pathonyourcomputer/firmware.zip]

Wait until it is done on your computer. The green progress bar shown on the phone will never reach the end.

Type

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Type

fastboot getvar all

Allows you, by comparing with your "old" results that the flash indeed worked.

Then reflash recovery :

Reflash your recovery (I recommend ClockworkMod Recovery).

fastboot flash recovery [pathonyourcomputer/recovery.img]

Reboot into recovery by selecting the option in fastboot by selecting BOOTLOADER and then RECOVERY (use the Volume-buttons to navigate and the Power-button to select )

***If you get an error similar to"mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p37 on /data failed: Invalid argument", follow this excellent guide by mike1986 on how to fix the issue.

Select the option "Wipe data/factory reset" (

You will loose everything not previously backed up outside the phone.

)

Select "Wipe Cache partition"

Select "Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache"

Then you should be good to go on installing a custom ROM. Or if you wanna go back to stock and not be a cool kid, follow this guide
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fadimanansala@gmail.com:
you missed something

on your adb push command you mentioned WHAT to push but did not mention WHERE to put the file being pushed hence you were given the syntax guide for the adb push command.

try again

adb push C:\users\Admin\Desktop\SDK\name\sdk\platform-tools\rom.zip /sdcard/0/

So this is an absolutely a no go. I can update without the bootloader but it will 100% not boot. I get to the sprint bootscreen and it locks.

I have attached my updater-script file. This removes all checks and the bootloader. The only issue is I cannot get the update to boot for the life of me. There is just a never ending bootloop at the samsung screen. I have tried everything I can think of. The good thing is as long as your on MF9 before running the update with my script it seems as though you can odin back to stock MF9 without any issues but I cannot confirm this completely. I have been able to go back multiple times but could something be hidden that I dont know about who knows. If you try to use my updater-script file within the stock update it is at your own risk obviously. For safe measures on my part I deleted the Aboot file out of the update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MasterZen88:
Currently the new bootloader enables Knox Void Warranty Binary. Its possible after you upgrade the bootloader from 4.3 that you will void your warranty and have no way to reset this binary ticker(Flash counter). This is currently the same issue with Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

Some people believe that this new bootloader could blow an efuse which would void your warranty and set the ticker to 0x1(This is only a rumor at this point in time). Others believe its software related. Either way its somehow tied into this 4.3 bootloaders that are being released by Samsung.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CNexus:
Just a small correction: it's not a flash counter nor is it related to the counter that methods like TriangleAway can currently reset. It's a binary flag, 0 or 1.

To add onto this, I believe I've read that after upgrading to a Knox equipped bootloader, people have been unable to downgrade. Not even through Odin.
