Is there any way to unlock Bootloader in LG Optimus L5 II dual (E455)? I have already rooted my device, however su -c "reboot bootloader" does not work for this model !!!
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x-jack:
I have the same question ? :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] J03-84:
I'm finding it difficult to simply find a tutorial to relock the bootloader for my sgh-i317. I've failed several times to update to 4.3 but read since my phone is rooted I need to relock/flash to stock and try again. I understand I can use Odin which I did to root but I'm new to this and don't know where to find the appropriate file so I can attempt to update via OTA. Any help is appreciated...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jspex:
This will erase EVERYTHING on your phone so use kies to back up messages,pics, etc BEFORE you begin!!

Go to sammobile and dl the stock firmware then dl this.

Have $3 on your google play account for triangleaway.

Then follow these steps

1.flash the stock firmware with odin

2. flash chainfire autoroot and update supersu in the play store

3. purchase and install triangle away (pay for it and support these awesome developers, dont be that guy), run counter reset and reboot

4. in supersu unroot

5.boot into stock recovery and factory reset and wipe cache and delvik cache and reboot.

6. on you phone go to settings>about phone> software update and run the ota update.

That should do it as you have gone completely back to stock, reset your counter and have stock recovery. This is what i had to do to get the ota to 4.3 yesterday/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jester12345:
U can always grab the firmware from sammobile.com type ur model number and download it and use odin to flash

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jester12345:
There is no way so far to reset the konx counter. It sucks but no fix for that at the moment
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
This ....^^^^^^.....

Knox persists well below the partition level ....Likely on the EMMC...

A JTAG won't even fix it....g

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsalta:
Hello guys i was wondering do our HTC ONE have a temperature Sensor built in, what i mean by that is a sensor that is able to detect the temperature outside like if u are at home in your room etc.

The reason to ask you is because before few days when i was outside i was trying to make a picture and when i shoot it a pop message appear that flash cant be used because its too cold.

And i start to wonder when the device can measure the temperature outside why then on the market its not availible app that is doong that for real.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tabtoub:
AFAIK there is a built in sensor to measure CPU and battery temperatures, so when it get very cold outside, the cpu can't run as it should, that's why you have this error message I think

To answer your question, I think the sensor we have only measures cpu temp and not direct outside temperature,

Please correct me if I'm wrong
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stinger1:
i am not sure about the out-side temp sensor,

but a cold CPU can't run correct , i doubt that. as a cold CPU is a dream for any machine

and practically there is no such cold CPU unless it was cooled on purpose.

however i think the cold temp effects capacitors or other staff that can't work in low temp

but 95% its not the CPU.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deakelem:
all posters are correct its actually the sensor inside the battery that measure its temperature that is complaining when you try to take a pic. The cpu also has a thermometer but the colder a cpu the better it runs actually. Batteries cannot be too cool and also cannot be too hot. Not sure if you ever used the wifi tether for root user app back in the play store a while ago but it would show you your battery temp and as you tethered more and more the battery temp would go up. I'd also imagine the camera uses teh battery temp to assume the temp of the flash too.. if the bulb is too cold and flashes it could break.

cheers
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whistler-nl:
Not correct at least at one point.

A CPU CAN be too cold.

But then we are talking about cryotech cooling systems that will cool the cpu several 100 degrees below zero. That would be so cold a cpu actually would not work because the electrons cant move or something like that(im not that technical too explain deeper).

Allso i have doubts when you say a battery cannot get too hot...?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stinger1:
yes thats what i meant by "practically there is no such cold CPU unless it was cooled on purpose."

and this is used to overclock some CPU's with a very high Freq. (thats what i know)
[Themer General Discussion] dameeerajman:
How long is Themer going to stay in beta for? And how long till they fix the battery drain?!
[Themer General Discussion] reexe:
I second this :good:
[Themer General Discussion] ThemerSupport:
Themer will come out of beta once all the bugs have been removed, more devices are supported (and tablets), and more features have been added. This will take roughly a month. Also, Themer drain your battery as much as any other launcher, make sure that no external apps are running. Constantly changing themes will have an impact on battery life however.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jester12345:
Just a question. Does anyone think that if you trip you flag on knox would it stop u from getting future updates? Example say i317m gets 4.4 u think itll stop me from updating?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
I'm gonna say yes...

We need a way to downgrade the bootloader....

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helyg:
I'm rooted correctly and have the newest TWRP recovery installed. I've successfully flashed the update for a newer recovery than the stock one when you first put a custom recovery and I flashed an update for the radio on my d800.

I haven't tried flashing any stock roms only new 4.4.1 or.2 Roms. My question is did I miss a step, do i need to flash something else like the latest OTA then wipe again and go for AOSP. I'm by no means new to flashing.

When i try to flash it this is what I get

"error executing updater binary in zip "

Any tips?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helyg:
Nvm. I switched recovery. Used the unofficial CWR and even though it holds up on clearing the cache it installed beautifully.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shorteoso:
I would like to ask for the help. I just bought Lenovo S720i and I don't know how to put lotus/four leaf clover louncher on the screen. I changed few themes, but no luck in any of them, home screen is empty. I have also Lenovo A820 and it is possible to brign on the lotus/four leaf clover in this phone by long-press in home screen - widgets - lotus. But in S720i I cannot find "lotus" in widgets selection.

Has anyone an idea how to fix this? When selecting the themes, there are pictures of home screen with four leaf clover launcher, but when I apply the theme, four leaf clover does not appear.

Thank you VERY MUCH in advance!!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] drtechnology:
POSTED IN ANY QUESTION THREAD - CAN DELETE THIS AND PLEASE REPLY TO MY Q THERE THANKS - SAME Q JUST FIGURED EASIER TO POST IT THERE

Have a stock non-unlocked (no unlock) at&t phone with 4.2 android.

Could I use the 4.3 "no-knox" modem.bin I see in these forums that's for t-mobile and just ODIN it over top of the at&t 4.2 modem (mdl modem for at&t that came on the phone when it was purchased) and then use CWM to install a t-mobile rom and have the phone work under t-mobile?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Just because someone else is going to find this thread and start getting ideas...

NO!!!!

No one should EVER do this. Never flash a modem that was not SPECIFICALLY made for your SPECIFIC device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] drtechnology:
Ok so tell me please what you mean? Do you mean specific device hardware or ???

Because the only difference I see in the 2 phones, At&t S4 and T-Mobile S4 is all in the software for modem and rom. They are 100% identicle in hardware, even being factory set for bands both carriers use. I would never attempt this on Verizon or Sprint S$'s lol - but I am cinfused other than a different modem bin file and different rom, and different model number since its 2 diff companies, what is the difference?

I am confused.

If I cannot do what I noted, then how does one use an at&t phone on a t-mobile network? I am great at flashing modems, roms, recoveries - but my 1st time switching carriers on an exact same model phone. The phone itself is same model far as samsung makes it - only changes to different model when its branded at&t ot t-mobile and uses that companies rom and mode,m files. But isnt the hardware the exact same both places and couldn't the rom and modem files be swapped to allow it to work on the other one's system?

Please help what I need to do - if I cannot do what I asked about then what?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: tmobile-att

If the two phones ATT i337 and Tmobile M919 were as identical as you say they are and even use the same bands then

why is the gsm baseband (modem.bin) and the lte modem (non-hlos.bin) different enough not to be interchangeable?

Not even the STOCK 4.3 firmware or any of the zipfile custom roms here in xda are not identical enough

so we would not need to have two different and separate forums for these two phones.

First thing you need to do is to get your phone on the Tmobile network is to unlock it or have it unlocked.

Then you need to get a tmobile sim card and root the phone if it's not already rooted.

You will also need to flash cf-autoroot to root the phone and then flash a custom recovery like cwm or twrp.

Then last but not least you will need to flash a Tmobile custom rom from the Tmobile M919 forum.

None of the custom roms found here in xda contain modem.bin or hlos-bin images.

Those you already have in your phone will work fine even though they are NOT identical.

The two .bin images are setup so the two networks can establish GSM and LTE communications

between your phone and their towers using different bands and different frequencies.

Good luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] drtechnology:
Thanks Got her phone working ok. So the key was if unlocked, the at&t phone will work on t-mobile even with an at&t modem file on it :) I knew the 2 companies could be used on the other's network just did not know the modem file works both ways if unlocked. I assumed the hardware is the same on both phones so just flash a tmobile modem lol - I learned I was wrong thanks for ur help. Years of rooting and never had an issue with using one carrier on another carrier's network, was my 1st time :)

Thanks a lot for your help. Its working great now!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaspah:
Anyone gotten it working and can attest to how well it runs on our S3?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xXFl4sh:
Just bought it and works fine. A little lag but playable. About 25-30 FPS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KabuTheFox:
i updated my verizon Galaxy S3 (I535) today, and forgot to unroot it so expectedly i go the "unsuccessful" update, but it did update, i have the changes. but i cannot get into supersu so i cannot unroot my phone (never really used the rooting anyways)

is there anyway to unroot my phone atm? and/or to make sure i have the entire update?

(wasnt really expecting to get the update at all with a rooted phone)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KabuTheFox:
also i cannot get into supersu cause my phone is still recongnized as 4.3 instead of 4.1.2

...not really sure what to do
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Hmm, well you can root using SafeRoot according to multiple users in our general TW 4.3 thread.

Maybe you can unroot after you root using that but there's no way to downgrade or Odin flash a ML1 tar unless we see one published in the near future. If you unroot after rooting then you could probably try installing the TW 4.3 update.zip in recovery but there's no guarantees it'll work and if it messes up, you're SOL until further notice.

Edit: so its clear, you can ONLY root. Flashing roms is not possible or recommended as of this moment if on TW 4.3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KabuTheFox:
ok thanks,

ill keep watch, i mean everything seems fine on my phone its just the "unsucessful update" is a bit foreboding given that i obviously have the update o.o

no way to downgrade either atm i take it?

if i could down grade i could unroot easily and then update
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Nah, you'll have a hardbricked phone with seemingly no way to fix it if you attempt to downgrade. If/when VRUCML1 stock tar file is posted then you could flash that in Odin. What you'll need is something specifically for TW 4.3 whether that's root, root/unlock, or Odin. Nothing older is compatible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aarontsuru:
I believe that by going to the OTA 4.3, you are no longer rooted. The update "unrooted" you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dznuts420:
Thanks Slim !!

:good::good:

SafeRoot was a success and I now have a rooted device. I just purchased this used and it did an automatic update when i turned it on. Pretty bummed about now being able to switch out the ROM, but at least I've got root now! saferoot is awesome!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KabuTheFox:
the update database doesnt recongize my phone tho, and thats why it couldnt complete the update.

but according to my phone im still on 4.3 technically

it has been some time, there might already be something out for all i know by now

This is a pretty trivial request given what some people are asking but I don't like the choices of live wallpapers in Kitkat and want to install the water live wallpaper that's been around since the Nexus One.

It's there a way to do that without rooting the phone?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yea, grab the apk and install it like a normal app.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] winsor78:
Hi all, This is my very first post.

I am facing some issue with my Galaxy R phone on my menu button.

I have been reading the forums for many tips. Here is a log of things which i have done to try to get the phone to work. Please bear with me as it is very long winded...

The phone is working fine and in early December, my menu button and back button decide to retire.

The Kernel is 4.0.x, Jellybean, I flash it about Nov 2011.

i) take out the case, screw, put back, key no response, unwittlgly i damage the phone speaker.

ii) day 2, the menu decide to work. but phone speaker spoil

iii) paste the screen protector, it stop working

iv)try to reinstall using CWM4.0.0.1, it don't work

v) Install button saviour, but it don't work until i need to root the phone.

vi) root the phone ( can't remember the version) button saviour work well

vii) try with custom rom, Avatar, it reboot within 4 hours, flash back to 4.0.

viii) try with Cyan Cm10.1 it work well,

ix) my replacement key and speaker stock from Ebay arrive.

x) speaker change out, I can finally hear voice from conversion.

xi) change out the menu key, take out the bezel and heat up the side, ( not an easy task, but i view Youtube many times to get the process right before trying) it is still the same, there is no response from my menu and return key,

Question 1. Do I have a bad display as in digitizer screen? My touch screen work well. Will changing a digitizer screen bring back my menu key?

Question 2. since i flash many times, clean cache in cwm. Do i have a bad mainboard? I

Should i live with the fautly menu button as I have button saviour installed or should i go on to find part to troubleshoot?:confused:

Regards

Arthur

Wow. Thanks. This was just what I needed. For some reason, I simply couldn't get my PCs at home to load the appropriate USB driver update for my Nook. So I did it on my Mac.
