[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rrrracer:
Same here, just got mine used about two weeks ago and I'm loving it. Picked up a 32 gig model used off Swappa for about $225 with a bunch of accesories. I bought it because I take a lot of notes at work and wanted to have everything in one place.

So far I've been running a stock rooted ROM that I debloated and it is working well. I didn't really see much more value in the new model for what I am using it for. The S Pen works great with Lecture Notes... Plus I am enjoying using it for drawing and artwork, a benefit that I hadn't foreseen.

Good luck!

Walmart has the 2014 for Black Friday for $299 ... Might as well get the newer one unless you need the extra storage space.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] drizzle02:
Can the LS970 LG Optimus G become pre-paid to work on Virgin Mobile, Boost Mobile or even Verizon. Basically any CDMA pre-paid. I have done my share of googling, and just can't seem to find anything related.

Is there an unlock or flash for this, or can I simply install a ROM if possible.

Thanks! :good:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] RG3:
Yes, With Boost Mobile.

If flashed correctly, You should be able to access Sprint 1900mhz PCS band for LTE.

Boost uses Sprint's towers.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] drizzle02:
How about would I be able to do this. If you don't mind, is there a tutorial available?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] RG3:
If I remember correctly it would reacquire to swap ESN's with a donor Boost Mobile phone.

To be honest, It would be best for a Boost Mobile rep to flash it for you, They charged me only $70 to flash and $50 for the first month. So $120 in total, and after a year your phone bill should be around $35.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] drizzle02:
Where can I find a Boost Mobile rep? And if there isn't one located near me, would I be able to flash it myself, is it quite easy?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] RG3:
Locate your nearest Boost store via Google.

They should have a tech in the building that is able to flash your Optimus G.

You can do it yourself with a program called CDMA workshop, They have videos on youtube for educational purposes.

I myself have no clue.. :eek:
[Moto X General] minitele:
Hi,

I recently have fallen victim to this reboot loop issue and yes it is my own fault - all I wanted was to be able to get control of my permissions and installed Pwnmymoto - What I read later on a different thread was that the OTA update would brick my phone.

Now, I could careless since I can get a new phone.

I just have one simple question - Is there anyway to connect to my phone and extract all the data out via adb or any other manner since I know my encryption password?

Here is the breakdown to make things simple.

1. OTA updated keeps phone in infinite reboot loop.

2. Phone is encrypted.

3. I want to be able to retrive my data and just do not know how to connect to my phone because it is encrypted.

I truly would appreciate any help regarding this matter!!

Sincerely,

Tony
[Moto X General] jimmydafish:
this has been answered in more than one thread,

You don't have a valid recovery on your phone, you need to fastboot flash --> system, boot, recovery. This will get you out of the bootloop and let your phone update normally.
[Moto X General] minitele:
Thanks for the reply man. I will be honest, I did try to search within the forums and there were so many articles I literally was slightly overwhelmed.

Would you be able to point to a specific thread which would provide some steps, I am sure I can follow it. I am a little gunshy since I ended up bricking my phone when I updated. I performed the root process no problem and was happy I could still actually do this stuff. I just dont want to make things worse than they already are.

Thanks again!
[Moto X General] jimmydafish:
you should join the G+ community for much better and more pointed help. The forums get cluttered.

1) download correct 4.2.2 (57-1) FXZ file

2) extract boot, system, recovery from the file

3) fastboot flash each of the partitions to your phone

(fastboot flash boot boot.img)

(fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)

(fastboot flash system system.img)

Doing this will put your phone in a state where it is ready to update.
[Moto X General] jayboyyyy:
what the above poster said is all accurate. but you can get your phone out of the bootloop by connecting it to fastboot mode and running fastboot erase cache. after you do that the phone will boot normally. Then you can take whatever data you want off it. then do what the above poster said to take the ota.

What happened was the ota downloaded to the phone and is forcing it to try and update the phone every time it boots. You need to erase that download which is located in /cache and then it wont force reboot thhe phone. this has also been answered many places. basically every thread titled brick or bootloop or whatever.
[Moto X General] jimmydafish:
erasing cache will cause the following to happen,

You reboot your device, it downloads the update, you bootloop again, you wipe cache, your reboot your device, you download the update, your bootloop again.

[MENTION=4919882]jayboyyyy[/MENTION] why not just have him fix the problem that is causing the update and then he will update correctly to KitKat, isn't that the best possible outcome?
[Moto X General] jayboyyyy:
well for starters, it seems he is trying to go from original stock FW to 4.2.2 (he said he is using pwnmymoto so he isn't on 4.2.2 yet).

He also said he wants to keep root so he isn't trying to take 4.4 because he won't have root on that FW.

While flashing that stuff will fix his problem and allow him to take the ota, I always like to make backups of everything before doing that. he won't be able to make a tibu backup of his current set-up by doing what you said because it will remove root once he flashes that stuff. So when he then gets root on 4.2.2 he will not have a back up to work with. (I believe you were thinking he was trying to take 4.4, which he may be, but i didn't read it that way).

If he is trying to take 4.4 he should know that he won't have root and he might never have root on 4.4. So if it is essential to him, he should only be taking the 4.2.2 update.

And once he erases cache. he can freeze otas from popping up on his phone. Also, he won't keep getting stuck in a BL because it prompts you and asks if you want to download the latest ota. it doesn't auto download it, so if he doesn't click yes then it won't download or cause a Bbootloop.

Finally, if he doesn't want to try and root with rockmymoto to save time, he can just install pwnmymoto without running it, then take the ota, then it will automatically root the phone for him. This is why i said what i did.
[Moto X General] minitele:
Guys, Thank you for your input, it is really appreciated. ( I am glad the forums are still alive and just as helpful as when they started! )

I see that I may not have been as clear as I could have and for that I apologize.

My only goal at this time is to recover my data, since I have activated my old phone ( couldnt wait since it happened on sunday and this is my only phone).

Would the flashboot erase cache method fulfill my only goal which is to recover the data?

If so, are there any different steps that need to be taken to accomplish this?

Thank you again both for your input. If only the world would be discussing two SOLUTIONS to any problem, or worked as this thread , man would it be a much better place!!
[Moto X General] jayboyyyy:
if you know how to use fastboot then no other steps are necessary. If you had root explorer on your phone, then you could just go to the cache directory and erase it before the phone bootloops again. most people have like 30 to 40 secs before it loops. Just another option. But all you need to do is remove the file from cache.
[Moto X General] minitele:
Just a quick question - Will it matter if my device is encrypted? I only ask because it seems most tutorials never cover encrypted phones.

At least the 10 or so I have read, even youtube videos .

Thanks!
[Moto X General] jayboyyyy:
doubt it matters. I think encryption just encrypts user data and other stuff, not all of the phones files. but i could be wrong. I jsut think thats probably the case. i think encryption can cause problems when people are trying to write to certain directories that might be encrypted. I don't think you should run into an issue with the cache though. Not like it wills crew anything up trying.
[Moto X General] minitele:
Cool, I have taken a look at a youtube video regarding fastboot.

I will give it a shot and report, thanks again!
[Moto X General] tracyde:
My Moto X is encrypted and can confirm that it will be fine after you fastboot flash boot, system, recovery. My phone was doing something similar when I tried to install OTA without returning the recovery partition to stock. One thing that I learned was that if you are trying to run fastboot command from an Ubuntu machine make sure you run it via sudo, otherwise your regular user will most likely not have permission and the fastboot command will fail.
[Moto X General] minitele:
To all,

The forums and people in our arena never fail, fastboot erase cache worked perfect. I have recovered all my data and now I will definitely continue to performing a full recovery with stock image.

Thank you again all for all of your help, I am glad to see at least this corner in the internet still is alive and kicking!

since I bought 1 month ago my QTEK 9100 I got some problem to go online by using GPRS

yesterday I went to China mobile and the technician after some check he told me the bad news....He said it can be the ROM flashed (i'm using an english version), or it can be the hardware

do you think it really cn be the ROM flashed or maybe it's really the hardware?

HELP

do you have any suggestion experience troubleshooting to perform??

thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Beeble:
1) what a pointless title - read http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=4534 item #2

2) What have you done? are the settings correct? what are your "problems"?

3) Have you hard reset the device?

4) Have you tried the device on the original ROM?

Troubleshooting is logical, you need to take some logical steps. If it works fine after a hard reset, the HW & ROM are fine - its SW. If it works fine on the original ROM but not on the english ROM its a ROM issue etc
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keyl:
Hi All

The following shortcut icons on the lockscreen are the 4.1.2 defaults and the 4.3 rom I updated to have doesn't have the option to change it. Does anyone know where or how I can do it?

See attached screenshots. Any help is much appreciated.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ag4751:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keyl:
Hi, I re-installed the rom, but had the same issue. Tried a different 4.3 rom and the shortcuts option showed up.

I9300XXUGMJ9_I9300VFGGMJ5_VDI - No shortcut option

I9300XXUGMJ9_I9300OXAGMJ9_BTU - Shortcut option enabled

Just a heads up if anyone else tries.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djb77:
I've noticed the same problems on the I9305 versions of 4.3, no Shortcut option.

I'm hoping it may be a matter of CSC values if the VDI failed and BTU worked.

If possible, could someone provide me with both CSC files (no need for apk's in it just the xml files) and I may be able to come up with a solution hopefully.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonisk:
Have same problem, no shortcuts on lockscreen and no option in settings/lockscreen, but i faced it after a factory reset, before i had the shortcuts normally. I am on I9300XXUGMK6 DBT. I hope you mean the files in the csc folder.

[Other SmartWatches] ronaldheld:
I thought that I would ask for now and into next year.

My requirements in no particular order. Watch face which can last on all day, WiFi ,SD card support or 16Gb memory minimum, rootable and unlockable.

I will be interested in any opinions and suggestions.
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
Standalone will need some sort of data connection so the list is pretty short. "watch face which can last on all day" is a short list too. Problem is there's no cellular capable smartwatch, rumored or otherwise, that has a "watch face which can last on all day".
[Other SmartWatches] ronaldheld:
Being on Verizon I assumed that. WiFi or USB would be the way to sideload apps so cellular service is not a high priority. So what watches are left?
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
With "SD card support or 16Gb memory minimum, rootable and unlockable" as part of your requirements on top of "can last on all day" there's nothing out there right now or even rumored, that I know of. The closest would be the AW-414/AW-420/TrueSmart but that "Watch face which can last on all day" requirement would not be met. I say give it another year or two and maybe you might find one.
[Other SmartWatches] ronaldheld:
Ignoring the amount of RAM the current limitation is power for the display to remain on all day?
[Other SmartWatches] |SavageD|:
Hmm, I'll put it this way.

Can your phone last all day with it's screen on? Now imagine a tiny device(a watch) having all the features of your phone, but, having a far smaller battery capacity.

....Power Storage is a major problem in this modern age.
[Other SmartWatches] ronaldheld:
Not the phone because of the radios. A watch with no radios on should be able to with little usage of apps in principal,
[Other SmartWatches] |SavageD|:
Oh I see, you're looking for a smart watch with limited capabilities that can keep the screen on all day. There are a few of those, but can't recommend any. You could look at the cockoo smartwatch, casio g-shock and the qualcomm tok.
[Other SmartWatches] ronaldheld:
I suppose the takeaway is wait a few more years for the OP requirements to exist?
[Other SmartWatches] |SavageD|:
Yes my friend, we must all wait patiently until that one perfect smartwatch arrives.

Some Sprint Tri-band phone users have had the issue where they can either stay on LTE and get no texts/calls, or it goes from LTE to 3G, but not back, until airplane mode or a restart happens . This is due to the towers in question needing an upgrade. At the worst, it should be fixed by the end of the year.

there was a post somewhere about the data/lte/phone issue; it had to do with the new Spark network they are rolling out, and if I remember correctly, some of the new areas were undergoing a "fix" to remedy this, and was going to be done b4 the end of the year..

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowert:
So the problem is the following: my nex 4 has suddenly stopped charging..it was 2 days ago.The strange part is that when the system runs i can't charge the phone.It looks like the phone recognizes that i put the usb cable into it,but it shows the no charging sign on the battery history menu point (and the battery is discharging).And the twist is: when the phone is fully off and i put the usb into it it charges normally(white accu on black screen)but as soon as i turn on,it stops.

I did hard reset many times...Im on stock 4.3(unlocked bootloader,no root)

I changed the cable.No progress

I use a converter cause here in Hungary we have a two pin system,but this is nothing cause it has always worked.

Btw,the phone runs normally.

Any ideas?

First,I would like to get a solution,not a "RMA it answer",it would be the last option.

Thank you for your time.

I have no root at all.And also did hard reset as well.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 22sl22:
If you have tried a full hard reset then its probably a hardware issue, not a software one. Try a different charger anyways, that could be it. Or like you've said, RMA or if your feeling brave you can open the phone up to see if anything battery related is loose/disconnected
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowert:
Yes this was my first thought too.I just wanted to stay away from this thing,it's a little bit tricky when the phone is from England and I'm a thousand km away.But looks like I have no choice.Thanks for the confirmation.Any thoughts about the RMA?Will they repair it?Or Changing it?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 22sl22:
You can try. Ring up google in hungary and see if they will do it. Otherwise you would have to find someone you know in the uk to return it.

One other thing, have you tried charging from a pc, not the mains? You could try that
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddlefan:
Hi, I Do think the converter does not meet the specifications, if your device is off it generates just enough power to trigger the charge-regulator in your nexus4 and the phone is charging; if it is switched on, the phone drains so much power from your battery and/or charging unit that there is not enough voltage/mA-Load to switch the charge-regulator in your nexus4 to "On". The power provided by a converter is no sinus wave, it has irregular spikes and waves and this might over the time-being has "weakened" your Nexus- Charger or the charging controller in your phone.. Try another converter/charger combination if possible with a converter with pure sinus-wave output.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greg17477:
By "Hard reset" do you mean a "factory reset"?
