yeah. i have unlocked it right now.

it stucks in sony logo. how can i install CWM??
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallMeVentus:
So you're telling me you didn't unlock your bootloader when you installed MIUI? Even when the guy who made it specifically told you to unlock it before using?

Well done.

Catching my breath, letting it go, turning my cheek for the sake of the show
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjraider:
So an attempt to fix it:

- Use flashtool to reflash a stock ROM

- Root it

- Backup TA partition (since you havent done this aswell)

- Unlock bootloader

- Install MIUI
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaahiniq:
thanks, should i flach a kernel??
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjraider:
Follow the steps as I described and try again . First you need to recover you device

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodemasterRob:
So, as you're all well aware, Android 4.4 AOSP was released by Paranoid Android. I thought I'd give it a try. I've bumped into a problem though. If you've seen the news, you've also seen it won't flash with TWRP. So you need CWM. Well, I'm stuck with this. Using both traditional ADB and the Nexus Root Toolkit by Wug Fresh, I've attempted everything from flashing CWM to setting the phone back to stock. Whenever it gets to the point of asking me to go into TWRP and flash perm_recovery"xxxx".zip in the !ReadyToFlash! folder, it's not there. When I manually put this .zip in the root and flash it through TWRP, nothing happens after reboot. I've correctly configured USB Debugging, made sure MTP was turned off, all of that. Made sure nothing was encrypted. I'm completely stumped as to how I could fix this. It's like TWRP is literally taking over my phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
dont use toolkits. you can flash kernels using fastboot, or the flashify app. btw, i posted a thread in the general section with the multirom modified twrp recovery, which work for flashing kitkat.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodemasterRob:
Thanks. I'll check it out. I managed to finally get the standard recovery back through spamming it. I think I'm going to stick with CWM from now on.

I'm using CM10.2 Alpha 3. I keep getting random reboots when my cell is not on charging. Because of this, the battery drain is heavy. On charging, everything works and there are no random reboots. Somebody plz help!

I think all the problem is in your battery. How old is your battery?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nikgargpec:
My battery is more than a year old.

I flashed CM10 and now again its working nicely. Were the reboots because of kernel 3.0?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tranceformat:
maybe, mine is 2 years old and have same problems.. soon I will get new one and see if the battery is the problem.

Hi all

I have two Samung S4's Both i9505, both same chips/processors/roms/kernels/everything (both are BTU devices and running Android stock 4.3)

Only the colour is different.

However,,,,, there is huge differences in Benchmarks on Antutu

I can see 29000- 29500 on the one S4... but only 25000-26500 on the other.

I thought maybe it was an issue on apps installed/etc... so I did a hard reset/wipe and only have antutu installed on each one.

This is not right... can anyone shed any light?

I've checked and CPU-Z reports everything identical

Maybe if people test...and post their results and Firmware/software versions.

I will edit and post screenshots of mine shortly.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSA:
Benchmarks are a waste of time and irrelevant to the daily usage of your phone

Does your phone work? Job done then...

And questions go in q&a not general
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] !SINGH!:
It does work.. but when everything is the same... there should not be this huge difference between two identical phones.

One is performing very fast...and one very slow.

This is not "ok" as with the production quality in Samsung...this huge difference is not normal.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSA:
You'll never get anywhere with benchmarks...as I said they are a waste of time and not a true representation of your phone

You could be getting a false report...how would you know? You wouldn't...it could be a defective unit and your benchmark app won't tell you that

Ignore benchmarks and don't waste your time...if it really bothers you, send the slower one back.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
That's why I say that benchmarks are stupid. I only do some to see if the performance of my device fell or to compare two different Android versions, but I don't use to compare one device to another, no matter if it is the same. BTW are you sure it's not a Galaxy S4 and a S4 LTE +? The second one normal score is usually 29k, while the first is 25-26k.

Hi

Yes.. They are both def 9505 and not a 9506

They are both snapdragon 600s.. and checked via CPU-Z and everything is the same

But.. after 4.3 update... (genuine OTA update not flashed via odin)... It is running 29000+ (it was 27000 before on 4.2.2 stock and the slow one was 24000 on same 4.2.2 stock)

I just wanted to know.. why there was such a huge difference. I totally understand devices differ slightly for no apparent reason.. and anything within 500-1000 mark..is fine (on two identical devices with same apps...and same config...same services/wifi/bluetooth etc enabled..)

There should not be such a vast difference of 2000+ between two identical devices.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
Every CPU is made differently, that's why they have binning numbers. Some can handle higher clocks and some perform better under heat etc.

You really can't compare 2 i9505 because you think they are identical, inside they are not. The one that performs slower could have a lower binning and is throttling sooner. Simple as that.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] !SINGH!:
Thanks.. .I just didn't expect one to be running at 24000 and one at 29500

That to me... is not "normal" differences with batches/production
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
I have had differences of 3k on the SAME device in Antutu mate so I really wouldn't much into it.

I can't actually even finish Antutu on my device at the moment lol, it gets to 87% then FC and I get a score of 20k so you're lucky!! :P

Benchmarks don't mean anything. If both your phones feel fine to use then they're fine :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Haha! The same already happened to me... I'm now running a benchmark every night to see if score changes too much, and mine is running more or less in 27k, but one day it got 24k lol. So I did other test and scored normally again. Worry nothing my dear @OP, like he already said if the devices are running OK there's no need to use a benchmark. Also, remember that they make small changes from a production series to another! My Nexus 10 has almost zero lightbleed, while many people complain of a big light bleed.

Hope this helps you a little... Probably you got 2 different production series.

Agreed. They are both working ok... and compared.. the z1 trounces them for speed... but I just like the way the phone works on the s4.. I think I will hunt down a i9506... (but then... not sure how much rom support will exist for this compared to the ones for 9505)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wickwire2099:
Hi, sorry for the necro-posting but recently I got this exact same issue as well. Two GT-i9505 Samsung S4 devices, different Antutu scores. One device is the regular S4 (white), the other one is the LTE Black Edition:

- White Samsung S4 / Lollipop 5.0.1 / Antutu 5.7.1 ~ 29000/30000 score

After unboxing the Black:

- Black LTE Samsung S4 / KitKat 4.4.2 /Antutu 5.7.1 >> ~ 29000 score

After upgrading the Black to Lollipop 5.0.1:

- Black LTE Samsung S4 / Lollipop 5.0.1 /Antutu 5.7.1 >> ~ 25000 score

After upgrading to Lollipop on the Black, the Antutu scores dropped - reboot, power off, no changes in the score.

Uninstalled Antutu > Rebooted > Installed Antutu >> 30075, 31882 + score

As someone else stated across the thread, in my case maybe the LTE version is slightly different than the regular version - still, after getting these numbers from my experiment, as many also said across the thread - it doesn't matter what the benchmarks say, they seem to behave like glorified randomizers when it comes com computing the final scores.

If it handles properly, then it's ok...!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jeff5347:
Guys as the title says I'm just curious if this is a good move or just side stepping. Checked one out today and like it but just wasn't sure due to the specs

Same display as my nex

720p

No sd800 or 3g ram

What unlike is the big batt, big screen, I see a good amount of ROMs, benchmark scores dbl my nex.

The n5 doesn't wow me and reading about the note 3 Knox scares me as possibly no development. The lg g2 interests me but not unlockable and want a little bigger screen.

So do you n2 owners feel it would be an upgrade from my nex?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nuuits:
I'm probably a tad bit biased, but I would say "Absolutely"

It has/is going to have 4.3 support from samsung, so much third party development, and i am guessing it is fairly cheap now.

I never owned a GNex, however the GNote2 was a VERY worthy upgrade from my AT&T galaxy S 2. The screen is brilliant and they battery life is more than wonderful for me.

I'd say that you should watch many reviews on it, first impressions, etc. and maybe even see if a friend or coworker has one that you can hold and see if it fits your liking.

My only concern for you is whether or not you want to be on the "bleeding edge" as the device is what, a year old now? by the time of your next upgrade (if you're on AT&T's 2 year plan) it will be three years old. You probably will still be getting CM and whatnot builds by the time this device is "obsolete" for you/your contract is up, however I cannot be sure about the official builds of Sammy touchwiz or whatnot.

So, all in all, yes I PERSONALLY would recommend this device (for people like myself) however not for everyone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] PUTALE:
I had galaxy Nexus and also Note 2. I got to say coming from Nexus, you will definitely feel that Note 2 is much faster. The size and the weight of Note 2 is noticeably bigger and heavier. Though I think it is not as bothersome to me. I do wish the screen to be just a tad smaller so it is easier to carry. Overall, it's <good upgrade. Though with new devices on the market,it is hard to promise Note 2 will get much attention in term of development. If you always want to flash roms, Nexus is always the choice. Nexus 5 has a lot of good things and should last longer. Note 2 is prob only to be able to last 1 more yr. Knox is also coming to Note 2 sadly. Looks like Samsung is going to turn a lot of people away with Knox. IF you can go to a store to play with - Note 2 to see,t yon like the size and weight, it would prob. be the best option before you made the purchase

I checked it out at the store and did like it. I liked the size too. Knox from what I've read makes dev almost a non issue and if n2 gets it....the 4.3 update will b out soon .. Will Knox b in that update? Love my nexus but want something bigger. I feel now the nex is 2 devices back everyone will b on the n4 or n5 and the gnex will be gone soon. Only other option is the g2 although I wish the body itself was a bit bigger. The HTC one but its actually smaller than the nex

Hi all,

While I was deployed in Afghanistan I purchased a Note 2 GT-N700 from an Italian PX. Used it over there and worked great. Come back to the States last week and Verizon, my carrier, says I can't use it here because they don't have that IMEI number. Tried putting my active Verizon mini SIM in it from my GS4 and nothing.

Can I salvage this situation? I really like the bigger Note 2. Can I root or something?

Thanks in advance.

[Moto X Q&A] Kemotar:
These micro USB ports put the power pins on the outside edges so they are subjected to most stress and usually pull loose first. So its not too unusual for the data to work but the charging to not work. If that's what's happening its likely that data will stop working too after a while...
[Moto X Q&A] lax4mike:
Same for me
[HTC One X+] 19Uhr30:
I've been going from AOKP to CM 10.1.3 stable a few days ago.

After about two days of no problems at all, my phone all of a sudden went really hot (like 58°C), battery drained from almost full to complete empty within less than two hours. I didn't install any new apps or flashed any updates.

I switched it off, turned it on again, but the battery drain continued. After being drained, it wouldn't boot to system and wouldn't charge for a whole while, saying "2%+" in TWRP for ages.

The problem now is, when I push the power button to turn it on, it doesn't react for about 2 to 5 minutes, then all of a sudden shows the HTC logo for another five minutes, then shows the CM bootanimation for another 5 to 10 minutes. If it finally finishes booting, I can use the system with almost no problems.

Flashing another version of CM (latest snapshot) and the matching kernel didn't help.

Can it be, that my bootloader is somehow corrupt?

Could it be a hardware issue like faulty memory?

Any ideas would be very welcome.

Thanks
[HTC One X+] Lloir:
yes CM 10.2 (M1 Snapshot) has a LONG boot as does the nightlies due to a change i made for it to run smoother. but supply me with a log anyway of boot.
[HTC One X+] 19Uhr30:
Thanks for the quick reply, Lloir.

Is the time it takes my phone from pushing the power button to showing the HTC logo in any way related to the ROM it's running?

I've attached a log. There are many different (driver-) problems of which I'm not sure they are related to my initial problem.

Thanks for your help.
[HTC One X+] Lloir:
power button > logo nope, but that can take a little bit anyway. my device takes SOMETIMES around 5-10seconds to display anything
[HTC One X+] 19Uhr30:
5-10 seconds is what I was used to before yesterday. Now it's more like several minutes.

Any ideas? Could reflashing the bootloader help? Erasing boot partition and reflashing?
[HTC One X+] AndroHero:
Bootloader and boot partition are 2 diffrent things. Boot partition stores the kernel. I doubt your bootloader is corrupt as your phone wouldnt even switch on if it was.

The only way to reflash bootloader with S-On devices is finding a compatible RUU.
[HTC One X+] 19Uhr30:
Makes sense. I'm S-OFF btw.

When I flash a boot.img, does it overwrite the boot partition? Would it make sense to fastboot erase boot first?
[HTC One X+] AndroHero:
Yeah when you flash a boot.img it overwrites boot partition. there is no real need to wipe boot before flashing a new kernel, but if you want to try it, it will cause no harm.

---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 PM ----------
[HTC One X+] 19Uhr30:
Thanks for the warning and your help. Will try a few last things first. Flashing a RUU will change the bootloader without the risk of bricking my phone?

Have you any other thoughts or opinions on this issue?
[HTC One X+] 19Uhr30:
Alright, so I ended up wanting to run the RUU to return to stock.

Now the damn problem is, as I start running it, it reboots the bootloader first and waits for the phone. But as it takes my phone ages to reboot, the software stops with a connection error after one minute or so.

What can I do?

After relocking the bootloader, my fastboot is showing me a security warning and won't boot to system or recovery any more.

Is it finally dead?
[HTC One X+] droids@m:
If u have a custom ROM installed and locked bootloader u will get the security warning
[HTC One X+] 19Uhr30:
Thanks, that's what I noticed. Do you know how to remove or reset it?
[HTC One X+] droids@m:
U can unlock it again and flash custom recovery to install any custom ROM .....or if ur hboot is 1.35 u can run RUU and return to stock

if ur hboot is not 1.35 u got no other choice than unlocking ur bootloader
[HTC One X+] 19Uhr30:
Thanks for the summary. But sadly the first solution doesn't solve my problem and the second solution doesn't work because of my problem.
[HTC One X+] 19Uhr30:
Okay, I found something interesting here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32574569&postcount=2

It says, I can fetch the ROM, the RUU wants to flash and flash it manually in HBOOT. I found the ROM and I think it would go round my problem with the 5 minutes of boot time.

Does anybody know, if this would work with my enrc2b?

Any dangers with using this method?

And most importantly, how will I have to name the file?
[HTC One X+] 19Uhr30:
Alright, so I managed to return to stock now with the appropriate RUU, sensor problems and camera crash persist. But at least, I can return it to HTC for service now.

Here's how I got the RUU to run:

First, after running the .exe, I accepted the warning screen. Then I went to C:\Users\_user_\AppData\Local\Temp\ where I found a temporary folder, created by the RUU. It looked like this on my computer {C528E446-42D4-4210-B236-35BE15A71702} and it contains a dotnetinstaller.exe.

There is also a subfolder, where I found a ARUWizard.ini. Checking this out, I could change the values for "UpdateTimeout" and "VerifyTimeout" to way more than the default 90 seconds. This indeed helped. After saving the .ini, I went through the rest of the RUU.

The software was now waiting long enough for my phone to boot. But obviously there was another problem, since the update wouldn't run.

I remembered that after a reboot, I sometimes had to unplug the USB cable once and plug it back in for the connection to work and to see my device under fastboot devices.

I did this, while the black HTC screen was showing up and finally, the RUU went through the whole update process.

Thanks for all the support!
