I completely agree that taking one frame out if a video is unfair, but I also think after each phone got a chance to adjust properly that the G2 still looks better. There are also several well lit scenes that I couldn't tell a difference.

however when I start to drag a home screen over to he set default option, the option disappears.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cactus_Punch:
Ok, I've already got around to resetting my CID to the stock CID number (VODAP102)

I'm using this site for all the downloads http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ - sadly since Vodafone doesn't seem that popular there isn't any RUUs for it, there are however a Nandroid backup, OTA update and Guru-reset.

My phone is currently S-OFF and rooted and has all the lastest firmware e.t.c, and since I can't find a guide on how to go to stock without a RUU I thought I better ask first!

Also side note, when changing firmware using the command with cmd to check the version number is fine, but when the phone is booted and I got to about>software infomation, it still shows the old software number, is that normal?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcz22:
Hi,

Hopefully someone can help here - I'm assuming its an isolated situation since no one at Verizon (US) or M1 (Singapore) can help me with. I have a HTC One (Verizon) that works perfectly in the states. I am overseas for a few months and confirmed with VZ Global Services that the phone is pre-unlocked so any local carrier will work.

I chose M1...everything on the phone works great, calling / SMS / Internet / Data...etc. However I am given this error anytime I try and turn on the Mobile Hotspot or USB Tethering:

"None VZW UICC present

A Verizon Wireless LTE SIM card is not detected. Mobile Hotspot/Mobile broadband Connect service needs a Verizon SIM card in order to work."

note:: Hotspot works perfectly in the states....

I've spent a lot of time on with VZ Global Services and at the M1 store here. VZ was not helpful, as soon as I admitted to using a SIM that was not theirs, they stopped all support. At M1 store we tried a variety of SIM cards; prepaid, postpaid...etc. None of them fixed the problem. Only suggestion left is to call HTC. So thats why I posted this in the general HTC rather than Verizon specific.

If anyone has any idea how to go about troubleshooting this it would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I should add - the phone is stock, not Rooted, APN changed to sunsurf (which is what M1 uses).

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohwut:
When activating the Hotspot function the device does an entitlement check against Verizon's server. Without a Verizon Sim it will automatically fail and not allow hotspot usage. Only way around it is rooting and removing the entitlement check or using a custom non-verizon rom.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Suohiisi:
I have built a ROM for Gio from the androidarmv6 sources. My device still has a stock recovery in it, so I assume I need to flash CWM before flashing the ROM.

Does the recovery.img from the build suffice for this? I guess I need to make a update zip for it (no fastboot for Gio), but is there a reason why the build didn't do this automatically? Would have been more practical, unless the recovery.img cannot be used like that?

Note: No need to suggest any prebuilt recoveries, as I wish to do the building myself.

NO not directly & YES with a little tweaking.

But why would you? The newest rom is the TMO 1.13WWE. The 'how to's' are posted so many times I refuse to post it again & suggest you read the sticky on rom upgrading & search for some other threads on that topic. There not hard to find.

im going to get crazy.....

can someone please help me,

tnx in advance!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] oltp:
Tha relaxxxx,

Here's my standard manual for this issue:

All steps:

Included in package:

nbfdec

maupgradeut_noid

Download the shipped rom from:

http://www.t-mobile.nl/zakelijk/htdocs/page/service/mda_compact_upgrade.asp

Download the Hexeditor from:

http://www.hhdsoftware.com/hexeditor.html

1. Unzip NL_11300_131_11200.exe (or any other shipped rom)

2. Put NBFDEC in the same directory as the unzipped shipped rom files

3. Copy the getdevicedata.exe to your Magician and execute to write DeviceData.txt

to \Windows and view with notepad

5. Decode nk.nbf -> nk.nb1:

nbfdec -d nk.nbf nk.nb1

6. Hexedit header to correct ID from DeviceData.txt

(probably only if using a rom from other provider)

7. Replace pattern for bigstorage in hexeditor:

locate the 02 00 00 80 00 20 and change 80 00 to b8 01 in the nk.nb1

(use binary search for this!!)

7. Encode nk.nb1->nk.nbf

nbfdec -e nk.nb1 nk.nbf

8. run maupgradeut_noid.exe to upgrade CE image

Also, this way you will save the contents of increased \Storage folder if previous rom was bigstorage one

Usage sample (must be run from the same folder as nbf files or specify full path):

nbfdec -d nk.nbf nk.nb1

nbfdec -e nk.nb1 nk.nbf

You'll have to download the tools nbfdec &

maupgradeut_noid yourself :-)

Cheers, M

Ps. package also available in Dutch ;-)

I am trying to flash my tmo rom to an asian rom but i have an error message;

"error 120: country id error 38-38-N-25-N"

will your steps below get ride of this?. Thanks.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] oltp:
Yes & you got two choices:

1. To bypass the country_id error you need to flash with the maupgradeut_noid.exe twice.

So:

-unzip the shipped-rom

- put maupgradeut_noid.exe in the same folder as the unzipped files

- execute maupgradeut_noid.exe twice (first run still gives the country error)

2. If you go for BS then apply all my steps from the previous post on your Asian shipped-rom instead of the TMO rom.

Clear enough?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolverineclaws:
So, I unlocked the bootloader but i guess i didn't let it reboot first all the way, so when I tried the rest of the rooting process it gave me issues.. I got it to work finally but when I tried using the volume or power buttons they wouldn't do anything. I eventually restored it back to stock, which i also had some issues with saying that "archive does not contain boot.sig. archive does not contain recovery.sig." etc.. I got it back to stock, but now the buttons still won't work for me. I'm not even sure if it worked before I tried to unlock and root it because I played with it for like 2 minutes then tried doing it.

Could it be that my phone was just defective? Or did I mess it up somehow? I got it back to stock though. I can still use the buttons to hard reset the phone and stuff and it works in bootloader mode and in CWM recovery when I had it on. Not sure what the issue is. So basically when the phone's screen times out i can't get it to turn back on unless I hard reset it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XyanumX:
Re download or check the MD5 of the factory image. Then try re-flashing. I've seen some people flashing 3 or 4 times before all was well.

I flashed mine yesterday and got the sig file errors, but they didn't seem to upset anything. (Id managed to wipe my baseband and IMEI somehow)

Sorry its not a more technical answer, but keep calm and give it a go.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolverineclaws:
Did your do the update after you flashed it back to stock? Like the update that happened when you first turned on your phone? I'm thinking no. The stock image on googles site im sure is the one it updated it to anyways..

So i found this about the sig errors and to not worry.

"The missing .sig errors are normal. Google didn't sign their factory images, which is why you need to be bootloader unlocked to factory restore."

But the buttons still aren't doing anything. It is stock. I've flashed it a few times with no errors... I'm thinking I might call them tomorrow. Too bad I didn't play with it for a while before trying to unlock and root it.

Does anyone else have any ideas why the buttons wouldn't be doing anything?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolverineclaws:
Thanks for you help XyanumX!!

I flashed it back to stock probably like 7 times. I locked it probably 2 times. The second time i did I did to before to call Google. Had them on the phone. They had me try to restart it by holding the power button down for like 10 seconds, which I had done a ton of times. Somehow it came back on and it was working. Maybe all it took was a magical call to Google, but it was super weird. I am glad to have it working though!

Just wondering if anyone out there has seen or heard of a true bumper case available or at least on the horizon for the Nexus 5?

To be clear, not talking about the official "bumper" case from the play store (not sure why they call it a bumper at all, as the back is completely covered.) I am talking about something that simply hugs the edges to give the screen and lens a bit of offset without hiding the beautiful texture and design of the back of the handset.

Thanks for your swift reply.

Any links that will show a safe way of rooting device ( Samsung s4 mini GT i9105 ) ? The app that you mentioned , is it user friendly.One more assist.I had a samsung galaxy s2 two years ago which was rooted and had the siyah kernel loaded via Clockwordmod recovery.That kernel allowed me to safely increase cpu speed of each the 1.2ghz dual core processors of The Samsung galaxy s2 making a huge difference in performance. Would the Siyah kernal work on the samsung s4 mini after i root the phone, to allow an increase in the cpu speed from 1.7ghz to a higher speed? There is an app called SET CPU which works only when the phone has siyah kernel allowing a safe increase in speed without overclocking the speed of the cpu to an unsafe value.

I've tried restoring through ADB, ADB (Fastboot), KFFA, and KF-SRT. Nothing works tried all firmware and all options. the only thing I can do is get my device to communicate in fastboot mode. Does anyone have any info they can share to help out? Please and thank you.

You need to restore the stock boot loader, go here and download the 8.1.4 stock boot loader and I can't stress enough to verify the md5sum matches the one listed, if it doesn't you could end up with a hard brick. Anyways from there its as simple as running

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader kfhd8-u-boot-prod-8.1.4.bin

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] nismo35:
I have another RavPower product for you guys today. This is a battery pack with built in USB charger rated at 3000MAH.

Just a few quick specs and features before i get into my findings.

Specs:

- Capacity: 3000 mAh Performance for iPhones: 100% battery life

- Output: 5V / 1A;

- Size: 4.33" x 0.9" x 0.9"

- Weight: 3.07 oz.

- Warranty: 12 months

Features:

300 Mah battery charger

Hi - Beam flashlight

Low - Beam flashlight

Strobe mode

Removable clip

Observations:

- Both charging ports are on the bottom:

- Clip is removable if you don't like it.

- Glass of the front is flush. May cause scratching if placed face down

Pro:

- Despite being rated at 1A, my phone was charging at 1.9(Galaxy charge current) VERY impressed. (this was with included cable. VER high quality Micro USB)

- I feel that the design is very simple and gets the job done, it combines a power pack with a flashlight; with multiple modes so you do not need to use the one on your phone.

- The side is a little under 2 AA batteries and shorter than my standalone flashlight

- Auto on and off (Once a device is detected it will start charging and it will shutoff when it is unplugged) No more worrying about leaving it on.

Cons:

- No power status indicator. So you don't know how much juice you have left. I reached out the RavPower they told me that there was no way.

- Flash light button does not sit flush

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Geordie Affy:
Sorry to hear that. This is just my opinion but because this tablet is newly released I doubt you will find much on the internet on how to replace the screen on your own, I think you will also struggle to find the parts. Calling samsung would probably be your best bet if you want it fixed now or if you can wait a couple of months I'm sure there will be videos online about how to do it. Hopefully it works out for you mate.

Thanks for the replies...I called up Samsung and they said to send it and they'd fix it for 200$..ouch. I'm not sure if that's worth it or not. I'm considering taking it to a third party computer repair shop or just dealing with it until the parts become widely available. It works fine, it's just ugly XD. This all depends on if the price was reasonable. Is 200$ reasonable to replace the glass? If it is I'll just ship it off to Samsung now :(

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Geordie Affy:
I think $200 is way too much - I know this is easy for me to say but if I were you I'd wait a while, to put it into perspective the OLD note 10.1 Digitizer costs just $20 and maybe a few tools will cost you no more than $10.

Honestly I'd wait and see if its really difficult or not and then attempt it yourself if you think your capable to do it. I bet there will be videos online of people taking the 10.1 2014 edition screen apart soon but then again if you mess it up you've wasted a $500 device. Also call a few local electronic shops once the Digitizer becomes available on ebay surely they will charge a lot less for labour.

Like I said its easy for me to say all this but obviously you know whats best. Best of luck mate I really do hope it works out.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] calashu:
I purchased it with a prepaid debit card so no purchase protection. :( I think I'll just take Geordie Affy's advice and wait it out. 200 bucks is a pretty significant amount of money for me. The wait will punish me enough so I'll know to be super careful with expensive new items in the future lol.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Han Solo 1:
It's too bad you didn't purchase Square Trade protection for it. $99 but they repair it or give you what it's worth if it can't be repaired.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] calashu:
I should get that with everything I buy because I drop things every minute and a half -_-
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] kkretch:
I would sell it on ebay for $75 less than what you paid for it.
