[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ajriddle:
So when I heard the 4.3 update was coming out I unrooted my MF3 4.2.2 galaxy s4 and waited for the OTA update. Now, whenever I try to download the update it starts to download, takes forever so I leave my phone, and when I come back it acts like there was no update and if I try to search for an update again it says my phone is up to date or to wait 24 hours before checking again.

Now when I try to update from an SD card I can't get into the menu to do anything from recovery. When I try to boot into recovery I get this error

"Could not do normal boot"

And on the downloading... screen.

Can someone give me some help on how to update my phone or at least get my recovery working?

I'm all about free stuff. All my computer programs are open source. In a sucker for by one get one free. I clip coupons. And now with a kid on the way, I'm all about the free goods companies send you.

So if you've got one or one is coming, let's share the sites/places/businesses to get the goods.

Similac, the formula company will send lots of liquid and powder formula along with some bottles.

Pampers, the diaper company will send a couple diapers. But they do hook you up with tons of coupons.

When Emma got pregnant she went online and looked for baby clubs and expectant mother sites, loads of them. We ended up with loads of stuff, from changing bags to talc, bathing lotions and potions, outfits etc. Best thing to do is get online, look for shops with baby clubs etc you'll find loads of stuff.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpasilliumNexus:
[HOW-TO] How to flash a factory image / return to stock / unlock / root #

It includes steps to fix the half storage issue.

If you want to check immediately before doing the above walkthrough, power off your phone completely, hold the volume down button and power on your phone to get into the bootloader. At the bottom of the screen, next to"Variant", you should see either "mako 8GB" or "mako 16GB". That tells you the storage size in the phone. In your case, it should say "mako 16GB."
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boinero1:
i did it n luckily is mako 16gb,, please what next?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpasilliumNexus:
Since you're new to the phone, I highly recommend reading that thread I posted a link to earlier to set everything up on your computer and phone, which also includes how to fix the wrong storage size issue.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boinero1:
the steps are too hard, can't even download any software, pls any shortcut???
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goofball2k:
You could try using wugfresh's toolkit to install the factory rom.

That's about as simple as it gets.

If you can't do it using the toolkit, then bring it to someone/some place that can flash it for you.

I would do it if I lived near you. The hardest part is the computer setup, imo, just getting the proper drivers installed but even that is fairly easy to do using the toolkit.

Good luck.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mowgie:
Can you just return to ebay seller? It's not as described and you paid for 16gb without this additional work. Possibly it's a listing error and actually is a 8gb?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goofball2k:
It is a 16GB apparently, just the OS needs to be reflashed to fix the misreported space.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RedBullet:
My device is rooted, and I am running a (slightly) older TWRP recovery and I am having some problems upgrading.

I have tried using goo.manager, which gets to "your download is now starting..." and stops.

I them tried TWRP manager which does download the image correctly, but when it goes to flash it I get some warning I have never seen about verifying the partition listed below (/dev/block/mmcblk0p21 or something). It says it flashes successfull but when I boot to recovery I still have the older ROM.

I then tried flashing with Odin, but got an AUTH failure.

I then gave up on TWRP, and tried clockwork recovery from ROM manager, again claims it flashed successfully but old recovery still boots.

Any ideas?

Is it possible I am back on locked bootloader (it says something like current binary: samsung official, system status: official

[General Topics] AGoogleUser:
Hey everyone! Its that time of year where we get all these new bells and whistles! Hope everyone has a fantastic holiday!

Now down to business. I want a tablet! I have had many phones and i just want something big and something i can easily root and customize. I want to get a Nexus tablet just for the simplicity of vanilla android however im not sure which one to get! Like i said i want something BIG. I was looking between the 2012 and 2013 nexus 7's and to be honest just to save a bit of looty I would probably choose the 2012. I looked on swappa and found some amazing deals. And with the help of the might internet i was able to compare prices and see where it would be best to get a tablet. Now for the people of xda: Which tablet would you pick and which is the one that is best for a "first-time" tablet user.

Thanks!
[General Topics] thatdude02:
I have an Acer Iconia A500 I bought as my first tablet about a year and a half ago, and truly loved it. I was big with a 10 inch screen and way better than my phone. Then about 3 months ago I decided to upgrade to a Nexus 7 2013 model.

The difference was outstanding! The screen is absolutely amazing! 1080p is ridiculously awesome! It was fast, light and this as well as so much easier to pack around. I booted up the A500 the other day and was kind of dissapointed of the lack of speed and clarity of the screen.

Overall if you find a good deal on the original model, I think that you will enjoy it. My friend has that model and she loves it and I don't think that it is all that bad. The only thing that I prefer the original model compared to the new one is the finish of the back and the thicker and rounder dimensions are slightly easier to grab. Might not be a bad way to jump into the tablet trend.

If you are willing to spend a little more, I would recommend the 2013 model just because of how crazy fast it is and how easy it multitasks and keeps all your apps open. I am running vanilla Android so I do not know much about the ROM scene, but I still love it.

Just remember that this is your decision and I believe whatever you choose, you will love your tablet!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] konerudattu:
Today I got my Nexus 4 and started to play with it .I am a complete novice to rooting and android .

I wanted to dual boot Android and Ubuntu Touch , came across this nice app called MultiRom which needed rooting .I dug around a bit .

Finally rooted the phone using CMW ( recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.3-mako ) / SuperUs ( 1.80 ) . I followed the how to from a bunch of videos in youtube .

I was able to install Multiboot . on opening the app , some warnings were thrown that MultiRom, backup and kernel patch were not installed . I have checked the three checkboxes and proceded with install . It went for a reboot .After reboot ( it started to boot from the "internal", which is the default stock android i believe ) nothing happens . The initial "Google" logo comes , then the screen starts flickering and stays like that ( so far one hour ) .I tried to boot to recovery and did a factory reset .That did not help either.

Please let me know if there is something I could try, may be collect some logs . The device is not definitely bricked because I can see the boot menu .I suspect the kernel patch did something fishy . Any way where I can look to find the issue ?

Thanks .
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziddey:
What rom are you on? It sounds like the multirom patched kernel is not compatible. Flash a compatible kernel and you'll be able to boot again.

Factory images are available at https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occam

All you'd need to do is flash the boot.img.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] konerudattu:
Thank You !!

Thanks ! flashed the official images, up and running agan .

Lesson learnt : If something is not enabled by default , there is a good reason for it . Do your homework before patching the kernel.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nik.g:
Hey there. Well, the "Geeks" over at Best Buy deleted all the files off my Mac Pro and my Macbook. I'm devastated. So I've been looking through my old phones to try to recover as many photos as I can of my little boy & some other very important events. They were all backed up on the Macbook & Mac Pro. 4 years of pics & videos. Gone. *sigh*

I found my Nexus S and when I power it on it is stuck on a black screen. I know the device is on because the lights on the bottom are on. When I plug it in to my laptop (pc) I can see it in my Devices but I cannot see it as a drive, which is the way I used to transfer photos from the phone to my computers.

If I remember correctly (I've had 4 phones since I used this one) I had to swipe the screen down from the top to allow my computer to recognize it.

Is there any workaround for this since my screen is dead?

Thanks in advance for your help. <3

I was trying to install a custom ROM and did not know I needed an unlocked bootloader, as I used ROMs on a S4 without doing any extra work.

Anyway, so when I attempted that, my Optimus L9 rebooted and gave me the LG logo with the "Security Error" words below it. It's stuck on that now. I tried using the LG Mobile Support Tool, but it gets stuck on downloading new software. The progress bar disappears quickly, so I'm sure it's not downloading.

I tried leaving it to download for around 45 minutes, but it was stuck on the same screen when I came back, with no progress bar. It can't be that it's taking long, I have decent Internet (150/75). I'm afraid of leaving it for hours as the device does heat up.

Is there ANYTHING I can do? I tried calling LG and the woman who was there to help me was rude and treated me like an idiot, only to give me the solution of sending it in. PLEASE help me!!
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] shinobisoft:
It's always best to include your device model when asking questions like this. There are four models of the L9 and the all have different quirks.

A factory hard-reset or use the 'Recovery' option in the LG Support tool. Only things I can think of at the moment with a lack of details.

Did you back anything up? If not, not much else to do other than try what I've suggested.

This post may also be of some interest.

Advice::

Never assume anything. Research is your friend ;) I had an LG Optimus One, was easy to mod, root, etc. I bought this L9 ( P769 ) on the assumption that it would be similar. Boy was I wrong. However, I did the research before attempting to do anything with the L9.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] whosgt:
I really regret doing what I did :crying:. It's definitely a huge lesson for me.

My model: LG Optimus L9 MS769 (back cover says P769?)

If a factory hard-reset means holding the home button, voIume UP button, and power button, then I already did that but I did not reach the robot.

In the LG support tool, after I enter S/W upgrade mode, it says the software version is V10D and that there is an upgrade available. When I start the upgrade, it goes through the first step but when I get to the second step, it doesn't download I think. I have an image but I can't link to it since I have under 10 posts.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] whosgt:
So it's normal? The reason I thought otherwise was because when I searched, I saw 0 people with the stuck/long download issue and figured it was just me. I didn't want to risk my device even further as I am aware that it has been soft-bricked, so there is a little hope available. Should I let it sit for 3-4 hours and let it over-heat?

I attempted the fastboot method but my device was not showing under the Devices section. I do not have a "Other Devices" section when I get to the step.

I am trying the offline flash method now, although I can't find a working V10D KDZ.
