[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lawrex:
I have had my phone for about a year. I have been playing with the idea of rooting and running custom roms. I have done so with an Acer A500, but as its not dependent on 2 year contract, I have never had reservations after the warranty was up. Now I am really wanting to see benefits of custom roms on my Razr M, but I am not sure where to begin rooting and what ROMS are best/stable (subjective I know). Can someone point me in the direction I need to go as I am having a hard time figuring out what process to use with the latest OTA update having been applied and never rooted before. Is there one better method to unlock over another? I am trying to catch up with lots of amazing work reading through whats been done, but I feel a bit out of my zone. Thank you in advance.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sloosecannon:
Unfortunately, you can't unlock or root at the moment. A root exploit might be found, but you probably won't ever be able to unlock...

Hello everyone

I'm new to java, blender, and Ubuntu. Been using Ubuntu for almost two months, and blender and Java I've been trying to learn (following tutorials) for almost a week.

I want to make a wallpaper, and I want to know if I can use blender to have animations or a 3d object in the wallpaper, like, a planet rotating.

Can I use blender for this, or would it have to be some other software?

Note: oh yeah, I've been using gimp for a few weeks also, and can I use that for apps also?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krislibertine:
Hi,

Idiot here, I was quite annoyed at the stock 4.3 update, I decided to root and install a Rom on my phone, how wrong I was, I subsequently stayed up late at night, without finding an answer to why the phone was not being able to register on my network.

I found out that the IMEI number issue, so my question is, if I re-install 4.3 and load up my phone via kies with my back up, will this work?

Or has anyone got any suggestions?

Much Appreciated
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inearner:
Nothing worked

Idiot 2 here :p

I did the same mistake.

I have upgraded the phone to the above mentioned firmware, still I am unable to make calls / send message. Whenever I try to make a call - receiving an error message "Not registered to Network". When I try to search for networks I was able to find the network and register to it, receive a message confirming the sim is registered to the network. But within a fraction of second I see emergency calls only popup.

Installed modem file from sd card - Didn't work

Downgraded to a stock firmware - Didn't work

Followed the sammobile thread - 14253

Nothing worked. I am using my phone now to play games now :D

Tried getting a new sim card from a different carried (go-phone) that didnt work too.

Hey!

I have a problem with my Xperia Play. It is definitely rooted and bootloader unlocked, etc, but when I flash any new kernel, it refuses to boot!

I've tried booting CWM recovery and wiping/resetting everything (cache, user data, etc) but still no dice. I've tried the newest version of LuPuS and Doomkernel, but still nothing.

I was on stock before, not sure what version though.

Once I tried some ICS ROM and than I wanted revert to GB, reflash FW .79, flash Lupus, flash Gin2Jelly and my phone restarting again and again after kernel logo it always crashed. I must flash FW .79 five times and then it was ok and it's still ok, but in frist moment I thought that I break my phone.

Does anybody have the following problem, I have the phone in my pocket and nobody can call me as it goes straight to voicemail. I then find out and try to make a call or send a text and the phone just keeps saying 'dialling...' then doensn't start to ring.

Is there any solution to this, this is the second Vario I have had and the only software installed is TomTom V5.1
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ra:
Yes, I have the same problem. Qtek 9100. No extra software installed. Had it since day 1, though it took me a few days to figure out what was going on.

The radio part of the device basically gets hung. The icons all still show things as ok, signal strength is there, etc. though I don't think the signal strength varies anymore. Likewise, GPRS is hung up and mail, etc. isn't being checked anymore.

You can *sometimes* bring the phone back to life by switching into flight mode, then switching back out of it, but sometimes that fails too and you get hung in a weird state where some screens think you are in flight mode, but you can't switch out of it.

A reboot fixes it till the next time it silently and mysteriously flakes out for no apparent reason. Very frustrating, and in fact why I was browsing around the net looking for fixes or at least better workarounds tonight.

Stock Q-tek 9100

Rom 1.1.7.5

Rom date 9/22/05

Radio version 01.01.10

Protocol version 4.0.13.16

Good day Friends of the Forum

I have a problem and do not know how to fix it , I have navigate a lot in the network and I could not get my phone to work . I have HTC One X from AT&T. By playing around with the phone, accidentaly I delete the O.S. so right now my phone is locked . I can't load Origanal or Custom ROMS . The only thing I can do is enter the bootloader and install recovery ( TWRP ) I installed several versions of TWRP to install a custom rom or I locked the bootloader to install the original RUU and everything has been WITHOUT SUCCESS .

Right now I have S -ON , my HBOOT is 2.14 and I can install TWRP Recovery 2.6.0.0 or 2.6.3.0 .

I have read in many places that I have to make an S -OFF to install a Custom ROM , but all I get Tips that I need an OS runing to finish the installation (or modified to do the S -OFF) . What can I do if my S.O. is actuall blocked (brick). Only screen I got when I turned on or reboot my is the white screen " HTC quietly brillant" .

My friends , I request help from the wise in this range. Since I ran out of ideas . I attached pictures with my phone information

regards
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
You are not bricked (or "blocked", whatever that means). A brick means the device cannot be recovered without opening the device (replacing mainboard, JTAG, etc.). If the screen comes on, its not bricked.

Just use your unlock token to unlock the bootloader again. TWRP and custom ROMs won't install if the bootloader is relocked. The unlock token will sometimes take several (or even many) tries to work. So if you tried already, and it didn't work, just keep trying.

Also, if you are SuperCID (which was required to get bootloader unlock on the AT&T version) and S-on (which you are)

DO NOT RUN the 3.18 RUU.

If you do so, you will brick the device for real (only recoverable by JTAG).

My advice would be re-unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, install the custom ROM of your choice, and then achieve S-off.

Also, I find this situation comes up far too often ("I wiped the OS and I don't know what to do"). Don't wipe things (like the OS) if you don't know what the result is going to be. And if you had made a nandroid before messing with things, you could have just restored. Seems there are just far too many n00bs getting into this hobby without exercising any basic common sense.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eL_pIt:
Thank you so much for your advice.

I just re-Unlock my phone.

Would you please help me with one issue? When I try to install a custom rom via TWRP 2.6.0.0 it says checking for MD5 file. No MD5 file found.

and the phone start restarting and restarting...

How MD5 file works or whats the the function of this file?

Best regards
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
MD5 is a checksum file (verifies the integrity of the download). But this shouldn't be happening in TWRP. Try the default wipe option in TWRP (factory reset, cache and Dalvik) and try again.

Do you think that I need re-lock the bootloader and then re-unlock the bootloader??

thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
No, do not relock the bootloader, that isn't the problem. I'm not trying to sound harsh, but why are you attempting to install custom ROMs? You lack a basic understanding of what you're doing, this is very dangerous. I seriously suggest that once you get the phone up and running again you stop modifying it and take the time to do some research and learn about what you're doing. You should always know what you're doing before you do it. Not knowing what you're doing leads to situations like this where you have idea how to recover, or even to a bricked device.

Did you manually check the md5 of the ROM zip after downloading it? The file might be corrupt, thus causing the installer to fail.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
No, I don't think relocking is going to help at all.

Try downloading the ROM again.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eL_pIt:
Thanks verry much for your advice, now I am living the consequences for start playing with my device without knowledge. I promise when this nightmare ends, I am going to do a deep research for installing custom roms and how to make backups before playing.

This problem happens with all roms that I try to install?? In your experience how do I make a good MD5 manually check .

Regards
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
The md5 sum will be listed on the download page of the ROM, you need to use an md5 checking program/app to make sure the md5 of the downloaded file matches the one listed on the download page. To make this easier to understand, an md5 is like a fingerprint of the file made up of a series of letters and numerals. If the md5 of the file matches the one listed on the site you know the file is exactly as it should be. If it doesn't match then you know the file has been corrupted during the download.

I´m Sorry, I din't check the md5, do you think the problem resides in the md5 file?? I already try with 12 custom and 1 clean rom for the AT&T HTC One X, that's why I didn´t check the md5 file, because I thought that one of all the roms, one of them is going to be the correct one. In some cases there is no md5 file for downloading.

I'm so disappointed by chrome , I've been using it for quite a while ,it was unusable on my galaxy nexus ,then it got almost OK on the nexus 4 and now I have my nexus 5 and the performance is still poor , the scrolling is not smooth , its choppy ,sometimes the websites stop responding , the app feels ... Heavy

Ive been using Firefox for a few months and although the scrolling is noticeably better than chrome's it still has its issues , sometimes the text looks blurry and until it fixes itself you can't click on links on the browser , I attached a picture so you guys can see , pay attention to the "next page"button (on the bottom with the rest background ) ,it became unclickable , Firefox crashes sometimes too .

To make things even worse the aosp browser which performance was light years ahead of Chrome's now shares Chrome's poor performance because Google made some changes and now it uses the chromium engine

I don't know what to do ,I become so upset when I use the browser on iOS /windows phone , I love kit Kat but seriously Google make chrome on android just as good as chrome on desktop :banghead::(

Try Dolphin

I have tried various browsers including Chrome, Opera, Opera Mini, and Maxthon, but settled on Dolphin on my One S and, now that they've fixed some KitKat bugs, on the Nexus 5.

Dolphin is fast and smooth (ver. 10.2.1) although the UI is a bit awkward. Not as bad as Chrome's though. Unfortunately Dolphin doesn't even have a way to import bookmarks from other Dolphins on the same device. Nevertheless, it does seem very good, and much better than Chrome.

I am trying UC Browser which is really fast, even compared to Dolphin, but doesn't seem to respond automatically to links from other apps--e.g., google's gmail app or the google search app that came on the N5; you have to copy and paste the url manually into the browser. Obviously unacceptable.
