[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IgniteTheWorld:
Yeah after doing some research I realized that but unfortunately when I flashed the rom I didn't know that I had to have s-off, so now I'm stuck in a bootloop and I do not know how to fix it
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dt2462:
Use Vol-Down + Power to enter fastboot mode then connect the phone to your PC and use "fastboot erase cache" on adb. After that it should be able to boot recovery correctly then flash another rom dont forget to wipe everything
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IgniteTheWorld:
I did that but it's still not booting into the recovery for some reason.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dt2462:
but adb does work right? it recognizes your device?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IgniteTheWorld:
I think so. http://gyazo.com/5f6eec981f0005f049827516cc0b7066
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dt2462:
damn man i'm sorry at this point Im not sure what else to do, I'd suggest re-flashing recovery through fastboot, but i believe you need s-off for that.

i was just looking up how to get s-off, thinking maybe we can just s-off your phone and go from there but looks like your options with adb on fastboot are limited. sorry dude
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipfreelytech:
you do not need s-off to flash a recovery.

download the latest CWM or TWRP recovery img and flash from fastboot.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot erase cache

Stuck in Boot Loop/Recovery Boot Loop

Hello, I attempted to install cyanogenmod but it got stuck during the process and I foolishly force shut my HTC One (ATT) down. I then started it and it is stuck in a boot loop. I got into fastboot and attempted to go to recovery, but it just boot loops with "entering recovery." I think cyanogenmod installed clockworkmod recovery over my TWRP or something. I tried the clear cache trick. Nothing. I also tried to flash TWRP again, but I still can't get into recovery. Really desperate right now, please help. I just got this phone today.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 33import:
Hello HTCONE12,

Have you tried to flash the TWRP Recovery using this method :

download the last TWRP Recovery .img from teamw.in/project/twrp2

Boot the phone in bootloader (power+vol down),

Go in fastboot menu

plug the phone to PC

With a command prompt, execute : fastboot.exe flash recovery YOURFILE.IMG

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheekzilla:
Whenever I connect my Bluebuds X to my Nexus 5, they automatically turn the audio volume up to max. If I try and turn it down, they automatically turn it all the way back up. I can't use them because it's too loud, and I've had to switch to my Motorola SD-10HD headphones which don't have this problem. Tried to pair them with my old HTC EVO 4G LTE and they had the same issue, which my Motorolas did not. Thoughts?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] CJSnet:
I ask because my Exec was unlocked in the UK for O2 and Orange, then I updated the ROM and sold it to someone in Australia (Melbourne), who says they get an 'Invalid SIM Card' error.

Anyone who's Exec *was* unlocked, and who has installed the update, please report :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gooroo:
Just tried an Orange sim in my Exec, I have done the ROM upgrade and the Orange sim works fine, so I can confirm that the new ROM does NOT lock the Exec

Regards
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] flashyphotos:
The XDA Exec is a bit finiky about SIM's

I have had problems with an older SIM card from T-Mobile USA (16k version), taken from a Motorola V300 gives Invalid SIM Message,

Yet a newer sim from T--Mobile USA from a Sidekick2, (32k Version SIM), works fine in the XDA Exec

So I think you need to tell your buyer that he needs to get a newer sim from his Cellco, Most Cell Companies will supply an updated sim for modern phones if the old sim is not supported, it will not mean any changes in number etc!

Hope that helps

Hi there! I got a quick question .. I want to buy the Xperia Z and found it used but still in good condition for 270€ .. it has an Austrian T-Mobile Simlock though and I live in Germany..so Id like to know if entering the DL mode and flashing a new firmware, would remove the simlock?How else would I be able to remove the simlock without having to pay around 100-150€??I mean there has to be a way ... right?!....hopefully someone can help me and I hope this is the right category for this question :)

[G Pad 8.3 General] Sean09:
So, I had started a thread here about the poor responses and feedback I received by phone and then in writing from LG about updates to their products, specifically the G Pad 8.3, but also the G2. I then decided to escalate it to the President's office which yielded the below response in relation to anticipated updates.

I figure since they are still not the best at communicating their intentions this post will at least serve to show people they do have plans to release 4.4 to the G Pad 8.3 and Kitkat at some point, which is great news especially for those who were on the fence due to the uncertainty of update support. Hopefully they do follow through.

EDIT - new update below re: timeframe. Q2.
[G Pad 8.3 General] mustbepbs:
Thanks for your effort. I really hope the "2014" doesn't equate to Q2 or Q3 like I have a feeling it will. This is basically LG's only tablet at the moment and it's WiFi only. What takes them so long?
[G Pad 8.3 General] Sean09:
Hopefully it will be Q1, or at least in line with other brands when they begin to launch it. I wasn't expecting miracles, but it'd at least be nice if they announce intentions such as this officially. I wouldn't expect the updates any faster than Samsung, Sony, HTC etc, so at least they have now told us they plan to do it. Now it's just a matter of them following through.

Hopefully if enough people inquire and push for it they will learn to become more vocal about their intentions. At the very least it'll generate more sales for them.
[G Pad 8.3 General] mustbepbs:
Well at least they're not like HTC and make false promises. I'd rather them be quiet about it than tell us a date they won't keep. HTC went from September to end of 2013 to Q1 2014 on my DROID DNA update.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Zarrick19:
Oh no. Last time when I heard this "next year update", the device didn't get any update at all. But it was ZTE, not LG. I trust LG. I like them. I like their hardware and software too. They might be a bit slower than the other's when it comes to updates, but they always update their devices.

But anyway, getting newer and newer updates (defacto Android) is cool and stuff, but actually I'm pretty satisfied with this 4.2.2 too. It's not that smooth as an iPad (I bet even the 5.0 Android won't be that smooth...), but at least it's stable, without major bugs and stuff.

The only thing I'm afraid of is if they won't announce the Nexus 8, making the G Pad dead.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Russellmania:
I'm guessing their top priority is the G2 which is of course more complicated b/c of the network radios and different carriers to support. They'll probably finish the G2 first before they even bother with trying to port their Kit Kat-updated rom to the G Pad. Which is kind of stupid, b/c it would probably be easier to start with the G Pad and then move to the G2.
[G Pad 8.3 General] quachhanthanh:
I hope they can keep their words and release a KitKat update for G2 in Q1 2014.
[G Pad 8.3 General] erwaso:
I'll excpect Q2 2014 so im not disappointed lol.

LG Optimus G came out last October and didn't see an update until April, i'm going with that timeline
[G Pad 8.3 General] Geordie_Ahmed:
Good to hear it will be getting KitKat at some point, nice bonus

I bought this tablet for its features, even if it didn't get an update i wouldn't be fussed as it is a class device
[G Pad 8.3 General] craigels:
Do any of you see the thin blue line that had been mentioned in another thread? It's putting me off getting this tablet when I had my heart set n it
[G Pad 8.3 General] MarkLI88:
I have the blue line I took my first back because of it and light bleed my 2nd one has the blue line as well. It really depends on the person some people can't live with it some can. I would not let it stop you from trying this tablet The G Pad is by far the best tablet I have had I love the size and weight the blue line on mine only shows up when watching a movie after about 20 minutes sometimes it shows up you only see it when there is black at the edge of the screen any other colors at the edge of the screen look normal. The line is one pixel thick very thin line. The way I use my tablet it is very rare I see the line to be honest I am not on my tablet for more then 30 minutes at a time unless I am ready on my Kindle app. If I am going to watch a movie I have a 60 inch HD TV for that. :) I recently was on a train and did watch a movie the line never bothered me it was there but my movie was wider aspect then the screen so I had black bars at the top and bottom of the screen my eyes never looked bast the movie to the top of the screen where the blue line is. You will have to decide for yourself if it bothers you or not.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Zarrick19:
Yes, looks like it's a "feature" of all the G Pads. But honestly, it's a really really thin line, I gues it's just a 1px. line
[G Pad 8.3 General] rand33099:
Its not a feature on all G pads!! Mine has no blue line. People always have to start crap.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Zarrick19:
Calm down, dude. Maybe not all, but most of them. Maybe your has it too, you just dont wanna see it, maybe thats why you are so nervous.
[G Pad 8.3 General] rand33099:
Nervous (lol) now you write "Maybe not all, but most of them" then don't post "its a feature on all". Go on the thread about this, what 7 people see it some are asking what they should be looking for so obviously some do not have it. And again nervous, guns pointed at me make me nervous not tablets!!
[G Pad 8.3 General] mallman:
Not on mine. I can't make the line appear.
[G Pad 8.3 General] testadeferro:
I dont see any line on mine. Tablet is very nice with very good features. I ve a s4 and the tab performs like it. The only thing i found bad in this tab is battery life, to poor... 5 hours screen time with moderate use and 20 % brightness. To poor for a tablet...
[G Pad 8.3 General] marcolorenzo:
I'm pretty sure that when he said "Yes, looks like it's a "feature" of all the G Pads", he was being sarcastic, hence "feature" was written with inverted commas. Maybe work on your people skills a little bit...
[G Pad 8.3 General] rockbastard:
I have just returned my G2 (here in Denmark) with massive backlighting issues and and a dim auto light.

Question: wouldn't that be something that i.e. an upgrade to 4.4 could solve by setting/correcting the auto settings in the light sensor or?

About bleeding light, is there a poll where the percentage of units have been added up.. - I could find one on N7 2 .

I have doubts about buying a 2nd unit.. and would like to know have many have received a "perfect" unit - the return proces here is about 10 days..
[G Pad 8.3 General] Duffman14:

4.4 will come for both but it isnt really needed. My G Pad is fine where its at. 4.3 and 4.4 isnt a big deal really and you dont get the GEL. There is no rush because when you rush is when you have issues. IMO if you want fast updates get a nexus. Just my .02

So, you don't know about ART substituting dalvik runtime in KitKat, do you?
[G Pad 8.3 General] djkinetic:
It's not substituted by default. Art is still a developer option.. Default 4.4 runs on dalvik.
[G Pad 8.3 General] SCWells72:
I enabled ART on my GPE for a short time and it was quite unstable. I went back to Dalvik pretty quickly. I imagine once ART stabilizes and comes out of early access it's going to be a nice enhancement, but right now I wouldn't even be concerned with it unless you're a developer trying to see whether your app works well under it.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Geeba:
Hello :)

I'm considering a G-Pad to replace my aging Xoom.... has there been anymore news on KitKat gracing the silicone?

Cheers.

Also just seen there is a stock Google version!!

https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/LG_G_Pad_8_3_Google_Play_edition?id=lg_g_pad&hl=en_GB

Not available in the UK unfortunately but I could get one from a friend in the US who will be visiting soon!!! is there any issue with the US version in the UK?

Or can the stock KitKat ROM be flashed to a UK spec G-Pad?
[G Pad 8.3 General] DrDeeJay:
I dont see how there could be any issues if you get it from the US (except that the US guarantee service doesnt apply in EU so if you break it...you will have to pay for the repairs)...as it only works via wireless (it doesnt support 3g/lte). There will probably be a GPE rom available soon which you will be able to flash on the ordinary LG device. For more info follow this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2564149
[G Pad 8.3 General] Geeba:
Ah Cheers DrDeeJay... so could be worth hanging on and getting a UK spec device and flashing the stock Google ROM... thats answered my other question too which was - whats the difference between a V510 & V500... I guess the V500 is the LG product.
[G Pad 8.3 General] DrDeeJay:
Well technically there are botth Lg Products ;) v500 has stock ROM, while v510 has GPE rom which will probably be updated more regulary (usualy within a week or two after an new official android release).

But the HW should be the same on both of them.

Kit kat on the lg g2. G pad? ... rumors?

Enviado desde mi LG-V500 mediante Tapatalk
[G Pad 8.3 General] Impromark:
Mostly confirmed by LG, as part of a list of devices that will be upgraded. Absolutely no announcement on timeline or features.

My guess is they'll do it by end of Q2 (i.e. June - which is when LG said they'd get 4.4 to their G Pro tablet) to keep the G Pad relatively current until the Galaxy Tab Pro hype is over, then quietly forget about it in favor of whatever's coming next.

Gonna be a long wait... And I'm not going to hold my breath. I'll only believe it when I see an update icon in the corner of my G Pad!

[G Pad 8.3 General] redcrash:
FWIW

It seems that LG G2 got an upgrade to KitKat according to PhoneArena.

http://www.phonearena.com/news/LG-G2-gets-Android-4.4.2-in-Korea-along-with-support-for-ART_id52289

We'll see if such update reaches the G Pad tablets! :fingers-crossed:
[G Pad 8.3 General] rockbigdave:
I've had Mahdi ROM on my UK G Pad for some time and it's solid. Bar some of the CM11 touches it possesses, it looks and runs what I imagine a GPE probably does. It'll be brilliant for LG to release the V510 firmware for the V500 down the line, but I can't see that happening at least until a successor appears..

I too had a Xoom before the G Pad. You won't regret the upgrade. :D

I think it's pretty clear that LG doesn't care about the G Pad anymore. Their focus clearly shifted to the GPE and their new devices. We'll get 4.4 eventually, but I'm sure that's all we'll get. This is definitely the last LG device I ever buy.

[G Pad 8.3 General] Mikegrmn:
I just read the last 2 pages and wondered why no one jumps onto an alternative rom if 4.4 is so important. I got my g pad 6 days ago, rooted the first night and have been eyeing with cm11 nightlies ever since. I run cm11 on my wife's razr HD and on my old nook and to say the least, I like it much more than stock 4.4 on my note 3. After only one week, I think I'll do this next weekend. Any xposed module I used so far didn't replicate what cm11 did to my other devices. And I really miss some of the features. After all, this always seemed to be tinkerers forum for me.

Just my thoughts. No offense intended.
[G Pad 8.3 General] erwaso:
I was just commenting, dont usually care for updates unless its one like 4.4 for the LG G2 which makes the processor and camera faster. I finally rooted but used GNL and now Nova Launcher.
[G Pad 8.3 General] DonDizzurp:
Go to any other subforum on XDA (for any forum for that matter).. Samsung, HTC, LG, Asus, Motorola.. anywhere you go you'll see people complaining that they're not getting updates and the manufacturer sucks and they're never going to get another device from that manufacturer again LOLOLOL

If you wanted updates that bad then you should have gotten a Nexus or GPE device.. or just root and throw on a custom ROM. It's not hard.. you ARE on XDA

I use CM11 with ART activated on my razr HD and my nook color. So I'd assume the option will be there in CM11 for g pad. I think I'll try coming weekend if I get the time to do it.

Only thing where ART always reverted to DALVIK was, when Xposed framework was installed. Once uninstalled, I could select ART and it stuck through reboots.

Dumb question. If we get the OTA, will it make it impossible to root and flash a recovery and rom? I ask this since i had a htc one X and once the JB ota hit, it was months till a new exploit came out so we a could flash roms again.

Mine comes monday and i wanted to play with it a while till i rooted it etc.
