[HTC EVO 3D] naxsandbew:
ohhh no no no ...

on this case , i only want to get RUU installed on my phone....not for downgrading hboot yet...this is for getting S-OFF with juopunutbear i think...

and i asked how to install RUU .exe ? is that the same way to flash any cusROM with 4ext (flash from .zip) ? or must by renaming ROM.ZIP to pg86img.zip and put it on the root of SD Card ?
[HTC EVO 3D] donkeykong1:
Only .zip files can be flashed directly from your phone. In order to run .exe file you need a computer
[HTC EVO 3D] naxsandbew:
oh icic, it mean that flashing RUU just like flashing an other cusROM in ex. flashing with 4ext.
[HTC EVO 3D] donkeykong1:
No. Rename RUU .zip file to PG86IMG and put it on root of your sd card. Then pull out your battery, put it back and press vol down and power to get to bootloader and when asked to update press vol up.
[HTC EVO 3D] naxsandbew:
actually i have skip this step (RUU .Zip) and works fine...with yoda's ICS --> controlbear (s-OFF) --> downgrading hboot (PG86IMG.zip hboot 1.49.0007

btw...is that possible to restoring app backup from ICS to JB with titanium backup ?
[HTC EVO 3D] donkeykong1:
Try via google play. In google play press menu-my apps and just restore your apps
[HTC EVO 3D] naxsandbew:
oh.... i didn't do that :(

i just know that is a way restoring from google play...

but after i think about it,,,, its the same thing with downloading the new apps again broo CMIIW

using TB only use data from local SDcard :)

is there any other app that can replace TB well ?
[HTC EVO 3D] donkeykong1:
I just restore my apps via google play so I don't know about other ways

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] HunterL:
I'm thinking about getting the HTC One but I want to know what changes Verizon's made to the device. Hardware and software changes. I currently have the Galaxy Note II and I'm disgusted with what Verizon did to the phone. Removing the WiFi toggle and replacing it with an ongoing WiFi notification that can't be disabled, removing Blocking Mode, putting their ugly logo on the home button, and making completely unnecessary changes to UI.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ddurandSGS3:
nothing to the hardware i dont think.

the software is raped with verizon stuff, per usual.

nothing a little root wont take care of though.

its a great device .
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] fyristus:
Also rooting this phone is very easy
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] USMC retired:
none

All Verizon's bloat can be wiped out with root and a custom ROM, and it is so easy to root. Just download rumrunner, find your build number, right click in a exe file and let it go.

Get the device, i've had it for 6 months and really like it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jpradley:
Think again. VZW deleted the FM App, but even if you reinstall it, you'll find that they also disabled the ability to have the headphone cord act as an FM antenna.

Result: instead of listening to any FM station in your location at no charge, you can run up Verizon data usage by an app like TuneIn.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Anthony825:
So to this day the most updated HTC one for Verizon has an unlockable bootloader and is root able? I have the galaxy s4 and am considering buying one off contract but only if it's not locked down like the Samsung s4 is.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Chilidog:
Yep we have a program that s offs, unlocks, and roots in less than 5 minutes.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Anthony825:
Damn. What're the specs on the phone? The Samsung is pretty awesome but I hear really good things on the One.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Chilidog:
The specs are so close it doesn't matter... The Samsung is slightly better on paper but lags sometimes with bloated touch wiz and I think it's locked down right now.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Anthony825:
Yes us s4's on Verizon are locked down. But we get to play around with some Roms due to Safestrap recovery. Last question. Anyone know the off contract price of the One? Only one I can find is from release day.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Chilidog:
I think eBay has it around 400.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Tigerstown:
Why do you think the Samsung is a little better? Just wondering bro. I have article saved on my pc where just recently HTC ONE won best phone of the year out beat Samsung,Apple,gayberry,winodws if you call that a phone.

sent from my JAVA CARD S-OFF FAUX HBOOT BLUE HTC ONE! using the XDA premium app.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Anthony825:
Loving the gayberry term lol.

Reaskn I'm asking about contract price is because I will trade my s4 in to best buy and use the credit.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] edgar360:
Looked everywhere for a way to Root my Sprint Mega. Found Kingo Root, downloaded and ran Kingo Root. It worked!! SuperUser is active and I do get prompts to allow Root access.

Hopefully this helps someone out!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vwbug2007:
Does your 3g and lte works after that? Mine lost that can you nandroid back up the stock rom and post the link to download it
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] edgar360:
Yeah everything works fine. You probably need to activate the phone again by going to your Settings > More > Activate Device.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vwbug2007:
Unfortunately mine doesnt have that bec im on silentlight rom by simon and I needed the stock rom backup that needs to be flashed

---------- Post added at 11:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 PM ----------

Only way is copy the sprint stock rom without the personal setup in it from another working one and reflash mine
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vwbug2007:
Or at least get the boot.img from your I still have a backup stock rom with wrong boit.img that got stuck at "samsung" boot logo only way is reflash the correct boot.img there are ways to get boot.img fron phone
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vwbug2007:
Gotcha I got a snapshot of sprint store stock about phone info screen shoy
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jsimonson0:
I just got a software update over the weekend that activated the tri-band LTE capabilities of the phone. Can anyone confirm whether this update unrooted or is incompatible with the rooting process?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] edgar360:
Updating now. Will advise if the update kills root.

Edit: Update Kills root. Will retry root and update again.

Edit No 2: Kingoapp re-rooted phone successfully.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vwbug2007:
Did u pull that update file for us to download manually?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vwbug2007:
Or you can flashify back up the boot part and save to sdcard or dropbox and make the file shareable in dropbox?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jsimonson0:
No, didn't know there was an update until the phone told me it wanted to apply.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vwbug2007:
Usually if u use root explorer and look in sdcard there would be a update.zip or other .zip file that is update

---------- Post added at 10:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 AM ----------

Let me ask u to look in setting more about phone and tell me what kernel version ut is?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jsimonson0:
Kernel version is 3.4.0-2048008 after the OTA update.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vwbug2007:
Whoa thats higher number
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vwbug2007:
Ok if you can nandriod back up whole rom without personal info and zip it and upload to google drive or dropbox and send me the link to it just pm me it is the only way to restore to stock sprint branded for kies and ota to work
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Anehab:
Bricked Mege

Can you send that ROM to me as well. I would love to try it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] omarcflrr:
So does the kingo root method work on mk1? If I root I lose everything i have on the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] GeekTechMedia:
Not working!

All it says is failed to root, when using Kingo Android Root here is the information:

Sprint Mega SPH L600

Android 4.2.2

Kernel Version - 3.4.0 -1708610

Can anyone help me? I need rooted asap. Thank you all in advance!

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] twospirits:
I believe Kingo Root is no longer available, Is there another root method for the Sprint version of the Mega?

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vwbug2007:
Kingo root does works for sprint version no problem ive done that on mine
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] randyreed1971:
I'm thinking about leaving my note 2 and go to the note 3. Sprint offers a "1 up" program where you are eligible to do an upgrade after 1 year. My problem is this. They told me that I have to turn my phone in and pay $350 for the note 3. I bought my note 2 through sprint for $600! Is there any way around me not having to turn my note 2 in??? Doesn't seem right since I bought the phone and not leased it. What would you guys do???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] datajosh:
That's not right at all, make sure you're going to a corporate Sprint store. (Go to the Store Locator on Sprint.com and look for stores labelled "Sprint Store" not "Sprint Store by Whatever Communications".) If you're eligible for upgrade you don't have to turn the phone in. I just did it on my line a couple of weeks ago and didn't have to turn in my old phone and I didn't pay anything up front except sales tax.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] theundeadelvis:
They may not realize your Note 2 was not subsidized when you bought it. Normally, under the 1 up program, you do have to turn in your old phone. You are making payments on the full price of the phone, and since you can upgrade in a year (before paying off the phone), you turn in the old phone. But, I don't think you should have to do that with the Note 2, since you paid full price for it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] yaniel06:
From what I heard that if you are eligible for an upgrade or have bought a phone on a non contract status that you shouldn't have to give up or trade in a phone to do the 1 up program. Correct me if I'm wrong guys
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] 303fa5:
You shouldn't have to turn in your phone or pay 250. I did the one up program, only paid the taxes, and kept my phone. I'm still under contract for one more year too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Only problem I have with the One-up program is they flip you to one of their unlimited plans. If you have multiple lines like me (five), and have unlimited data, text, cell, but shared minutes, it's a frickin nightmare to justify the expense. Even when they offered to force just my master line onto one of the two unlimited plans, the math just didn't pan out. Staying off contract and in my existing plan were two things of which I didn't want to let go.

Sent from my SM-N900P using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] randyreed1971:
I have 2 lines unlimited and been with Sprint for 13 years. I left my HTC EVO and went with the note 2 when it first came out. I signed another 2 year contract and paid $600 for the note 2. Now that it screwed up on me I want the note 3 so I wanted to do the 1 up deal because my contract doesn't run out until July........I just cant believe I would have to turn in my note 2 and pay $350 for the note 3. The $350 for the note 3 doesn't really bother me....the thought of having to turn in my note 2 that cost me $600 does. That makes no sense to me at all why they said I would have to do that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Jocelyn:
If your contract ends in July, you should have an upgrade available in March. If you want to do the 1 up thing before this, I'd activate the evo prior to doing so. This way you can trade in your evo instead of your Note 2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] datajosh:
Like I said before, that's not accurate. If you bought the Note 2 outright when it came out, you should be already eligible to upgrade and that means you do not have to turn in the Note 2. I have no idea where the $350 figure came from because that's the price for regular upgrades, not the One Up program. Again, make sure you're going to a corporate store, they're the only ones that can do One Up right now.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] choboii:
I am thinking about buying the nexus 5 on ebay. But all the 32gb are just overpriced. So I was considering buying a 16gb. I was wondering how much memory is actually on the Nexus. I use Google play music so my music won't take up space. Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StatusQuo209:
There is about 13GB of usable space for you with the 16GB model.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangosierra_:
12.55GB to be exact, which is more than enough for me.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roddem:
hey everybody

i have been changing a lot of ROMS lately, was finding the right one. when i install a rom, the battery was 41%, when i instaleld another rom, it came down to 1%, anything i should be worried about?
[Nexus 5 General] Riimez:
Hi there, bought a galaxy note 3 a couple months back - then bought 4 nexus 5s.. sold 3 which covered the cost of the 4th one.

In short I pretty much got a nexus 5 for free thanks to google's lack of stock.

Coming from the note 3, the nexus 5 felt very nice to use, even with the same internals the N5 felt significantly faster. Not sure whether its due to kitkat optimizations or the lack of bloatwiz.

Been using it for a week so Ive pretty much got my thoughts straight. Build quality is supurb, love the feel in hand, and the thing looks so damn sexy.The screen is lovely, one of the best Ive seen. Camera is okay, dissapointing compared to some of the other flagships but hey, who cares its a smartphone. most of the photos taken will be compressed to use on facebook/instagram. Speaker is also pissweak.. Sound that comes out is quite good, just lacking any sort of volume.

However, the biggest problem for me atleast is the battery life, coming from a note 3 I was used to whacking the thing on charge after a heavies day of use with it still at 50%. With the N5 I can barely get through a whole day.

So here comes my topic: If only the screen was enlarged to phablet territory, and the battery was then boosted (thanks to the bigger chassis) this would be the perfect phone. The camera and speaker failiage I have learnt to live with, but the battery life was sub par (dont get me wrong, its not terrible as far as other phones go.. On par with apples offerings) Imagine a 5.5-6 inch nexus with a bigger battery keeping the same design language. Wowy!

Thoughts?

P.S

Going to keep using the N5 until cyanogen comes out for the note 3.. Touchwiz was too annoying for me.
[Nexus 5 General] TobiS87:
Wow. Are you proud of doing that? Because of ppl like you the stock is even shorter. People like you get a special place in hell. Hope CM hurries with the Note. :)

To the topic. Not really a phablet. 5 inch are the max. The N5s battery lasts me more than through one day so no need for a bigger battery here.

Accidentally thanked you... :(
[Nexus 5 General] Riimez:
Haha.. Selling them straight away - gives people a chance who missed out on the initial order batch to buy them.. For a small premium of course.

I would have bought one anyway, which means the number of people owning a nexus 5 is the same whether I bought 3 or not :)
[Nexus 5 General] jerrah:
Wouldn't have missed out if you didn't buy 4, maybe those 3 people went to order behind you hut couldn't because you got three :p lol
[Nexus 5 General] johaganism:
its a bit like the sneaker phenomenon, ppl wait in line to buy shoes then more ppl wait in line cuz they realized they can sell it to make a profit. prices of products become inflated. some products get extremely inflated as in the case of the iphone 5s gold.
[Nexus 5 General] electric0ant:
Firstly I think you need to edit your title, it's a bit misleading.

But I would not classify the Nexus 5 as having sub par battery life, its got decent battery when compared with devices in its class.

Comparing it's battery life to a bigger device with a significantly bigger battery isn't really a fair comparison.
[Nexus 5 General] george241312:

i have the VZW G2 (VS-980) and its stuck in fastboot mode. ive tried all the different methods listed in these forums and nothing has worked. i cant get into download mode as everytime i try, download mode shows for a second then goes into fastboot mode again. PLEASE HELP!!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericdabbs:
How the hell did you brick it? Give us some more background on what tweaks, root methods, flashing recovery methods did you use or else its hard to diagnose the issue.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simon_lefisch:
ok. i was on stock. rooted with the IO method. wanted to flash a ROM (clean rom). downloaded ROM, wipe dalvik/cache/data. after reboot, phone booted into recovery mode. tried going into download mode to revert back to stock and LG FlashTool failed. said phone was the wrong model number (D802). the ROM i Downloaded said it was for VZW G2. obviously it wasnt. so i finally ended up using fastboot to push boot image and it booted, but in about phone, it says it D802 model (i just got it to boot, where as before i was stuck in fastboot mode). now i need to return to stock, but dont know how. any ideas?

Just a quick question. Why would you even need to go into download mode to flash a Rom? Never once have I done that. Really, just curious.

Thanks Devs. From my VZW G2.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadymouse:
I was thinking the same thing. It's best to stay out of those modes. Get a recovery installed ASAP and do everything that you need to do from there. I recommend TWRP Recovery.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marshygeek:
Maybe because when flashing stock rom download mode is needed (atleast in my old sammy phone, maybe same in moto phones)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trickster2369:
What's wrong with restoring the backup of the stock rom that should have been made before wiping and flashing a different rom? Not sure what I'm missing here.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHM078:
Download mode is useful to flash the entire phone back to stock using the OEM tools. It's not just for the stock ROM. It's everything. It's useful if you get a bit carried away in TWRP and wipe partitions you really shouldn't be touching. Or if you somehow manage to bork your recovery, or at least can't get into it. It's also good if you want your phone to be completely stock to sell it or to send it in on warranty. I'm sure someone could come up with other scenarios where it's useful.

But yes, it is a good idea to keep a backup of your stock ROM. And as always, know what you're flashing, make sure it's for your phone and check md5s. And be mindful of what you're doing in recovery. You should be able to avoid most issues. Download mode is indeed something you shouldn't be using often but as I said above there are situations where it is useful or necessary. It's actually something I suggest you know how to use. I say it's always a good idea to know how to get back to complete stock for warranty stuff, selling, or if something just goes majorly wrong.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simon_lefisch:
The Rom I was trying to flash was apparently for a different model number, yet it was under the Verizon thread. There was no md5 to cross reference. In the end I ended up finding the proper boot image/twrp files and pushed them via fastboot (since I was unable to use adb) which then allowed more to restore a backup of the original Rom. Just took me all night to finally get back to stock. Then I decided to restore to out-of-the-box stock just to make sure all files weren't corrupted our anything.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Semantics:
Not for nothing, but I ran the LG flash tool without putting the phone in download mode and it worked fine.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicamarcel1:
You can you adb side load which is the same for flashing rom, pushing, or pulling file from the phone which is the first thing to learn before flashing anything to the new device that you got and know nothing about.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepie33:
I'm in the same boat, all I see is fastboot and I can hold power and volume down to reboot or power and volume up and if I plug it in it gives more options but I cannot select anything.

I think i have bricked mine and hoping the community can help me. I was installing a new rom ([VDT-ROM] V11.5 Super Lite) for my variant, and when i completed the installation, It somehow removed my recovery and couldn't boot. Now when i try to do a restore using the restore to stock procedures it will not let me because the current version says d80210f i believe. when it does allow me to get to restore that version, i am unable to get to the settings to apply root and recovery cause the screen when you touch it cant sense my finger and its acts Totally weird. I have read some ppl have had this issue but i am unable to find a way to fix this. SO please anyone that knows a way to help me get my d801 back to stock from the wrong version. if anyone needs more details let me know.
