Hello.

I know what you are thinking.

Oh no, not another n00b bootloader thread.

Sorry, but sadly it is.

I'm on stock JB 10D MetroPCS MS 769 10d.

I was reading through the Internet, but I'm hard of eyesight and the strain is really starting to stress me. I've never had a phone that seemed harder to unlock(the bootloader). I see many threads and it is really tempting to get a newer rom that will save my battery and all of my troubles.

The only problem is, each tutorial I come across has lead me in a million different directions. Some are dated back from June of this year. I would like an updated method, and of course being the newbie I am, I don't want to try an old method and turn this phone into a paperweight.

I have researched that the T-Mobile ROMs will work on this monstrosity. I know about 2nd init, clockwork mod, have unlocked the bootloader on a tablet. Have been following DROID since Froyo.

I need a sure fire way to do this. I'm sure some of the new guys around here would like a sure fire method.

Let me just brief.

I am familiar with Clockwork mod recovery.

I know basic Terminal Emulator commands.

I run Linux

I know given the right instructions how to Unbrick

My device is currently rooted using the Chinese method, was able to properly install SuperSU and get rid of the Chinese version.

I am aware that the process somehow involves firmware with an inverted screen.

There are so many guides and tools, I've used LG Support tool before, and my final question is...

How the heck do I unlock the bootloader on an MS769 Optimus LG with stock L9 10D firmware?

And yes I've tried the search feature and just got even more confused.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] LupineDream:
.lAfter doing some research, I've got everything done up to flashing the 20B firmware this is the point of no return for me. The only thing I haven't done is ADB, but that comes with software mode right before the flash. I'd like to go over this with somebody to see if I have everything set correctly.

Also I need a good copy of the 10D and the European 20B kHz.

... And I'd love to be able to get my paws on the Metro radio... Just in case... For jellybean of course.

Unfortunately there is no simple way to unlock the bootloader, I also have the Metro PCS LGMS769 and managed to unlock the bootloader with a little trial and error and as of the time of this post im running PenberRom5.

Keep in mind that no matter how badly you might screw your phone up, as long as you have a pc and an internet connection you can always restore your phone back to factory settings using the LG Support Tool.

Awesome. Thanks guys. I had trouble with flashing kdz files so I had to go over the tutorials with a fine toothed comb, seems I did not have the small server in the right folder on the root of my C:/ drive. I got 10f flashed, that was my "safe" tester. As long as I can get into software update mode it should be no biggie.

Thanks to you guys as well. Couldn't have asked for better support than on XDA. :) When I am sure that my internet connection will be reliable, I'll go ahead and follow that guide.

Moving my apps to the SD Card would be really nice. This phone is not very well endowed as far as Internal Storage goes. lol

So yeah to repeat I got KDZ flash working, at least on the "municiple" laptop in the folks house lol. I know what I have to do.

First off, I'm dual booting this old piece of crap laptop I have, it barely runs Windows 7...but it works.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smoothtrax:
I desperately need the correct .PIT file for an i9507. I have successfully rooted using i9505 method and run a few different unofficial CM11 ROMs designed for i9505 without any issues and working perfectly, however tried to flash another rom and have failed miserably :crying:

I have the stock firmware (i9507XXUAMH2 region OPS) but when I take all the necessary unroot steps and flash with Odin it fails and says "get PIT for mapping" I've found the i9505 PIT files but can't find the i9507 PIT files anywhere on the wen!!

Seeing as the phone roots and runs the i9505 method and ROMs, would it work if I used the i9505 pit file??

Also on my download mode screen its says the current binary: custom yet the system status: official

Any help would be amazing thank you

Thanks for reply guys, was just about to post to disregard this question because I got it all back up and running again. Turns out it wasn't the .pit file.

Again thank you and regards.

You can extract the pit file from the stock ROM archive. If the stock ROM is .tar.md5 just remove the .md5 from the end of the filename then extract with winrar or whatever you like, and then the pit file should be there.

Hi,

Yesturday my phone updated itself to 4.3 and it ended up soft bricking itself. It would go to and stay at the Samsung logo and occasionally go to the lock screen for a second then restarting itself again. I tried using Odin v3.07 to reinstall the 4.3 update onto my phone but still no luck. The only difference is that it goes to the lock screen more often and it will stay there for one to two seconds longer.

Are there any alternative methods to fix my phone without wiping the internal storage?

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mkfryan:
You could try to go into recovery and factory reset it, keep in mind that you will lose all of your apps and settings. Try wiping cache first.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnleashedGT:
Hi all. Just got my shiny new HTC One dev edition this week. What I learned is I should have done more reading on here before I even turned on my device - for example I went and upgraded to OTA 4.4 before getting S-Off and Super CID - my bad... in any case absolutely loving the device with one exception and bad experience that I can hopefully help others recover from or avoid.

I unlocked by bootloader, got root, flashed custom recovery and flashed a KitKat based customer ROM - all the usual stuff. That was all good - here's where the fun starts. My exchange server requires device encryption as one of its policies and of course encryption with KitKat on the HTC One is flat out broken. The device refuses to boot after you've etered your dycryption password and it just hangs on boot screen forever. This is the case with KitKat whether you are on stock OTA or custom - did I mention KitKat encryption is broken on the One?

I tried everything:

1. Wiping in custom recovery doesn't work because it cannot decrypt

2. RUU fails

3. RUU.zip via fastboot fails

4. Tried flashing back to stock recovery and that factory reset also fails

I was contemplating what to do with my shiny new brick and remembered that the HTCDev unlock process does a wipe, so I relocked the bootloader (fastboot oem lock) and unlocked again using the Unlock_Code.bin file I got from HTC. This process was the only method that I found to work in this situation to remove encryption.

To summarize, if you have upgraded to KitKat (Stock or Custom ROM) and you go and encrypt your device, do the following to recover:

1. Relock the bootloader (if not unlocked - go to step 2)

2. Unlock the bootloader again using the Unlock_Code.bin from HTCDev

3. Select Yes during the process to erase all data on the device.

I hope this helps save someone the3 hours I spent on this.

Cheers.

Cable impedance can make quite a difference. So use short, thick usb cables. In a test from german mag c't an S4 charged fastest with a certain Huawei ps. If the S4 is also charging at 2A, this power supply could also be used here. Sadly, that issue of the mag went to the bin.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] aznmode:
Yup this is true. Some cables restrict the current so even if you use a 2.0amp adapter it will still charge slow because of the cable. The micro USB cable that comes with the s4, s3, and some Motorola are the good ones. Generally they're thicker than most. Ive bought extra from Amazon. You can use an app called "galaxy charging current" to check charging in mah. There may be other apps out there. But it's good for knowing your tablet is charging at its optimum or if you're using a good cable.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] kkretch:
Be careful when playing games or using the device while plugged in as the micro USB ports would be more easily damaged from cord tugs than say the old 30 pin connector.

My friend had a jawbone type portable speaker that got damaged the first day he had it because the cord was plugged in charging while using it and he moved it forgetting the cord was still plugged in and damaged the connector in the unit.

Personally, I got the about the same results with Samsungs short and thin, and the longer and thicker cable i used before. Then i discovered, that my 2*1/1*2A charger, which was only advertised as Apple compatible, but could charge my LG mobile with 900mA, also gets recognized by the Note as a 2A device. Either the tablet supports Apples method to id charger capabilities, or that charger, which is about a year old, supports the latest standard usb method.

Anyway, Samsung charger & cable are back in the box. I like synergies.

I know with my Note 2 stock it would charge at 1250ma on the device untill rooted and rommed with persius kernel and Stweaks setting the battery limit charge rate to 2000ma it now charges at 1998ma, full charge in about 3.5 hours. Something in the kernel denotes charging rates and apparently samsung has these turned down too. Using current widget it is multiplied by 1000, and it is only charging at 1000ma, (it said 1ma before multiplying) or only one amp not two. This sucks we need a custom kernel and stweaks!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] lecorbusier:

My initial charge was fairly slow, but I just plugged into an old Samsung Galaxy S charger that was already plugged in in the living room.

Over the years, most charging problems with USB-charged devices that I have been experienced are related to the cable, rather than the charger. I was tearing out my hair the first time I had a bad cable - didn't work on USB port to charge, went to a wall charger, didn't work. Finally I changed out the cable...

If your p600 tablet charging slower than you think it was, you should check the wire from charger. In one day my tablet started to drop percent while plugged to original charger which came with tablet. It was raising battery % only if i lave it alone or turn off, but still that was taking too long. I tried switching rom, wiping etc. Finally i flashed stock software for this tablet with odin, but it doesnt helped. Finally i though thats not the software problem and i switched the wire which came with tablet to old wire(which came with my old samsung galaxy mini) and the charging is now working as well it was! My problem was the wire from charger, idk whats wrong with it, theres no visual damage or something, but the current was half or more smaller than it was and it is now on new wire.

Ok, so I've disabled samsung push service as has been suggested. Also disabled other apps that aren't used, and made sure that power saving is on. I have tried many different cables, and wall warts, and it charges not at all when plugged in and playing games. It also does not seem to hold the charge for long, as if unplugged and just moved from one room to another, it loses 10% or more. This is a new issue. I have replaced the usb port, as I thought that it might not be tight enough.

2 questions:

1 are these cables really that fragile? If so is there a "bullet proof" cable out there for purchase.

2 if I get yet another new cable(I have 500 laying around already it seems:rolleyes: ) and I still have this issue, is there a way to test the battery itself and see if it is the problem.

The unit is 2 yrs old now, and it seems like parts aren't super expensive, and I'm comfortable opening these up since I've done it once already. I just need this to charge and hold a charge.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] lecorbusier:
I haven't really stressed the Note so far, no benchmarks, no games. But the maximum power drain should be the same as the max charge current. This way all the current goes directly into the device, bypassing the battery, which will neither charge nor discharge. I never noticed any discharge during use ehile plugged in. This is good, as it will protect the battery. The max current, though I haven't seen values above 2A displayed, may be higher than 2A, as the internal voltage is 3,7 volts versus the 5v/2A usb charge power.
