[Sprint LG Optimus G] reddragon72:
I think I gave an answer in another thread about FreeGee and how it works.

When you use FreeGee it doesn't just backup your EFS it backs up the boot and two other parts. FreeGee is a dumb app meaning that it always assumes you are restoring to the same ROM. So if you are on ZVB and run FreeGee then move to ZVC and do a restore it can crash your phone. If all you want is to restore your EFS then hit this link for details. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38348745&postcount=1
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _dannyboy:
I'm on zvc and was on zvc before unlocking so it backed up my zvc boot stuff. I restored my efs already that's fine. I'm just trying to relock the bootloader and just stay on LGs Stock ROM.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] reddragon72:
You can re-lock with FreeGee.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _dannyboy:
Won't brick me right?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] reddragon72:
I have no idea nor have I heard of it and no-one here or anywhere can tell you it will. If you want wait for a better answer or until I can look it up.

Look in here for more info but it doesn't cover unrooting/re-locking http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2050582

I will tell you that there is a chance of an unbootable phone if you have removed any bloatware and then re-lock the phone.

If you want to be safe then just LGPNST back to stock. You'll have to reinstall everything but that is always the safest.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _dannyboy:
Yeah I removed bloatware but I don't remember which ones I did besides the file manager.

Never mind, I have them all still. Only one I didn't have was File Manager but that was reinstalled with the Application Manager.

Trust me, if I could LGNPST I would, but for some reason it won't recognize my phone. I need the windows 8 drivers I think but even then, I was told theres some weird process you have to go through in order to get it to work on windows 8
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _dannyboy:
I've read that you only get the security error when you uninstall one of the GApps. Is that true or is it with all preinstalled apps?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
More questions? lol ;) LG apps will do it too. If you don't unlock your bootloader, you'll become really good friends with LGNPST, if you uninstall an app LG wants. Sucks I know, but unlocking isn't that bad. The safest way to unlock? Just LGNPST teeny bins. I haven't heard of any issues with it. But s#*t happens.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _dannyboy:
I want to LGNPST but alas, LGNPST hates my phone. I checked compared to my moms LGOG, I'm not missing any apps so I should be good with the freegee relock I guess. I hope so.

I think the tmo note 3 firmware never get updated? Or the 1st firmware is too good already. Any idea?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chstewart:
I'm sure it will get updated, but the device has only been out on the market for a short while. How quick would you expect it to be updated? I personally can't give to many complaints with the device as it is though.
[Sony Xperia L] amnher:
I checked reset customizations on flashtool. And It came out like this...

There is "writing TA"... Is it connected with bootloader?
[Sony Xperia L] Redhexa:
it's mean that you flash phone with reseting to default factory to on your firmware flash...it's good to clean installation rom method,specially stock rom..it same when you type *#*#7378423#*#* reset customization that it will be make your phone back to factory default condition...
[Sony Xperia L] zerorated24:
does it relock your bootloader?

No.

1. Download the mod of your choice

2. Download a safe recovery or Repack kernel (if you don't already have one) These can be found [URL="http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Devices/Samsung%20Galaxy%20S2%20%28Sprint%29%20%28SPH-D710%29/Kernels"][COLOR=#0066cc]here[/COLOR][/URL], make sure to grab a stock kernel in zip format while you're there!

3. Using the Odin method of your choice, flash your custom recovery

4. After your phone boots, boot into recovery by holding power and vol down simultaneously until the recovery screen comes up (EL29 Directboot makes this step unnecessary}

5. Navigate the menu to clear Cache and Dalvik Cache

6. Navigate to the menu to your desired mod and flash

7. After flashing is complete, navigate through the menu to your stock kernel and flash

8. Reboot and enjoy your new toy ;)

A Right now there doesn’t appear to be any specific to this ROM. List will be updated as issues are found.

Q Are there any mods/tweaks available for this ROM?

A Yes, Just about any tweak pack will work. I recommend Comadose by Goddly. Grab it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2188416

Q How’s battery life?

A I see this question asked repeatedly across all ROMS. Honestly there is no way to give you an answer based on a ROM. There are too many variables in question and results vary from user to user and device to device. Battery life is going to depend on age and condition of your battery, your use habits with your device, installed apps, tweaks, settings, etc...

Q How do I make a nand recovery?

A There is a very informative thread created by Timmetal6669 found here

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Goat1378:
Hello Im new to the world of Custom Recovery and Flashing Roms. So I'm having a bit of a problem!!!! I rooted my Sprint Galaxy s4 with odin on my iMac threw Parallels V Machine and windows. Worked great! i installed TWRP which also worked well. Ok heres my problem.... I boot into recovery and wipe all the things i need to and I've done my research for a rom that works with my phone I've also watched countless number of youtube videos on how to flash. i have the rom downloaded on my sd card. When i pull it up it lets me pick the rom but no swipe to flash. Instead... When i tap on the rom it goes into the files that the rom has in it and thats it... no way to flash it. Then I'm left with no choice but to restore my backed up stock rom. Does anyone have any ideas? What am i doing wrong if anything? Please help if possible. Thank you!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] klabit87:
You are in the wrong forum. This is the Verizon variant.

But to answer your question it sounds like you extracted the zip file to a folder.

You do but extract it. You only flash the .zip file as a whole.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Goat1378:
But i didn't extract anything i pulled it from my iMac is that the problem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] klabit87:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leaderbuilder:
As was mentioned you've done something wrong; and that looks to be that you've extracted the ROM zip.

Since you downloaded it on a Mac it probably used the download manger and uzipped it.

You need to download the file (and keep it) so that it looks something like this:

Stock_Rooted_Deodexed_MF9_Rom.zip

or

Sacs_Custom_Rom_4.3_v3.1.zip

or

MetalROM_v3.3.zip

etc.

Copy that to you exernal SD card then in TWRP select install zip after you've followed the OP's instructions on wiping to select it and install.
[General Questions and Answers] TimeAndroid:
I know this is probably ridiculous but how much should I undervolt by? -15? -25?

YES, I'm a perfectionist who wants the absolute lowest voltage possible without going into any danger.
[General Questions and Answers] Lgrootnoob:
Obviously go for the lowest but if possible fine tune to as low as possible by granules of 1 instead of 10.

If it gets unstable then move it up 1 till its stable.

Oh and there is no danger with undervolting. (Overvolting is the danger so beware)

If you are using setcpu then you can flash the setcpu toggle zip in your recovery from here

http://www.setcpu.com/setcpu_safemode_toggle.zip

This will turn off setcpu for you if your voltage settings become unstable and you accidentally had the set on boot checked for voltage.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] NHL Fever:
Hi I'm new to any kind of pocket PC's and to this board. I have some questions that are probably extremely naive but where else to learn eh? I browsed every thread and couldn't find answers at my level.

I purchased an XdaIIi from ebay. Oddly it seems we can't buy phone/PC's like these here in NA.

How do I check those versions/numbers I keep seeing quoted. Stuff like ROM Version, Radio Version, Protocol, ExtROM? Where are those numbers and what is their significance?

What is O2 active? What is GPRS? Is that relevant to me living in Canada?

What is active sync?

I've heard 'tomtom' mentioned a number of times, what is that?

Can somebody link me to some retail stores selling the XdaIIi? I'm curious to see what they go for new.

Is there any way to stop the internet connect bubble from popping up every time I come within range of somebody's LAN?

I'm also a medical student (reason for buying) - any suggestions on where to find medical freeware?

Sorry for the crappy knowledge, just trying to learn what I can.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] NHL Fever:
As a follow up question - my phone didn't come with a manual or any software. How do I connect it to my PC - the auto-recognize doesn't do it. I'm assuming a person can browse the pocketPC from their PC? Does a person typically download pocket PC software with the PC and send over to the pocket PC, or is it easier to download upgrades/accessories/plug-in/whatever directly to your pocket PC.

Again sorry for the no-knowledge questions. Hope somebody can steer me the right direction. :oops:
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] g0wfv:
Goto Start->Settings->System->Device Information It's all displayed in there.

The ROM Version, is the version of Windows Mobile Rom you have, I think! Mine's 1.11.00 WWE - which as far as I can tell is the latest World Wide English version.

Radio version is the actual cell phone radio version - 1.04 being the latest.

Protocol I have no idea (anyone else help me out here?!)

ExtRom is the software that gets loaded up extra to Windows Mobile usually in the case of XDA IIi users, O2 Active, which is a really crap bit of software for accessing the internet and stuff on your phone easier, but in actual fact does nothing other than slow the IIi down and make it crash! (well maybe I over exaggerate a little, but it is annoying!) There are some other bits of software that get put on in the O2 ExtRom that are of some use, so I generally let it all go on and manually remove the O2 Active bit!

GPRS is General Packet Radio Service - in layman's terms, Broadband Internet for cell phones! It will probably be relevant to you if you can find the settings for your Network Provider in Canada.

The software that comes with the IIi for connecting it to you desktop PC for synchronising with Outlook and to enable installing of new programs.

Download it here if you haven't got it already. The phone won't be recognised by your PC properly without it! http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/activesync41.mspx

Only the best ever bit of satellite navigation software available at this time! *ducks!* http://www.tomtom.com

It varies - have a search about on google. I noticed O2 stopped advertising them on their website now as the XDA Exec is out!

Turn off the WiFi.

Hope that helps.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] NHL Fever:
What's does 'cell phone radio version' mean?

I likewise can't think of a use for this, how to I manually remove it?

I have this software on my Xda, when I hit 'sync' it doesn't connect. I imagine I need to first install something on my pc. Where do I get that? Was the link you gave me the software for the pocket or the PC?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] g0wfv:
errrm .. it's software to work to cell phone bits of the XDA.

Have a look at http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=33687. It's in there toward the middle of the thread.

No you also need the PC software at that link for the two to talk to each other.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] NHL Fever:
I downloaded the active sync software but it's still won't sync. Any suggestions?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] g0wfv:
did it ask you to set up a partnership when you put the XDA in the cradle??

BTW, Rogers AT&T GPRS settings are at http://www.dslreports.com/faq/7428 obviously I can't tell you if they work or not!
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] NHL Fever:
Nope it didn't ask to set up a partnership.

It has the standard thing when you plug USB - 'windows has detected new hardware - pocketPC smarphone'. The hardware wizard then fails to install anything because it can't find software.

In the microsoft activesync folder on my PC there is a single dll file. Is there supposed to be more?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] g0wfv:
There should be a lot more than just a single dll :? Try re-installing Activesync
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] NHL Fever:
Hmm ya now it works. The GPRS isn't working but that makes sense since that kind of things would be something I'd probably have to pay for as an extra. Thanks for the help.

- Type “mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system” then press enter key. Now your System folder is set to read/write mode.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
Generally speaking, threads or discussion about changing IMEI values are not permitted on XDA.

Regardless of your intentions, this information can and is used by theives to turn stolen blacklisted phones into working valuable phones. This information puts all cell phone users at risk of theft.

While this information is readily available elsewhere on the internet, XDA prefers that it not be diseminated here. If bad guys are going to find this information, they aren't going to find it on XDA as XDA will not be complicit in IMEI changing.

Thank you for your understanding.

I was using my Nexus 7 (2013) this morning surfing some sites, when all of a sudden my touchscreen just up and died. No laggy response, no jittery response, just nothing. I can't even unlock it when I wake it up. I can't power it off (as far as I know), since after I hold the power button down, I can't select Power Off.

Well, if that previous posters suggestion does not work, or any software-related solution, my first suggestion would be to send it back for a replacement, barring that, it sounds like something could have come loose, if you're the type to try it, you can see how that is addressed with the 2012 version:

Happened to me too once but i was on a custom rom and kernel. I freaked out when the touch wasn't responding!

I held down to power button to power-off/reboot. It seemed to result in a bootloop and i wasn't exactly patient because i was freaking out a bit!

So, i powered down the device again, booted into recovery (TWRP) and to my relief the touch worked!! I just rebooted back to the system and everything was fine.
