Hi there,

may be there are already the right answers around hidden in some threads,

I am pretty unsure if the described ways will work with locked boot-loader

and keep all functions of the phone up and running.

Sorry, if I ask stupid questions, I am a noob regarding android phones and the

tricks to get su on the phone.

My firmware is:

Build-Number 9.1.A.1.140

Kernel-Version: 3.4.0-1731-g5b052b2-00811-g8c0b35e

Android-Version

4.1.2

Xperia V - Germany

Is there a way to backup everything (whole firmware) first, before starting experimenting?

I don't care about losing custom settings / user data, but I want to make sure I can revert

everything to original settings, if something wents wrong. (I have made a reset / fw-update with SUS)

I read some of the threads, but hesitate to flash the firmware, because there were issues

reported with not working WLAN, battery problems etc. after flashing, so I want to make sure,

the result will be just the same as it is now, but with root privileges....

I am also not really aware of the differences between Singapore / Nordic / German

stock rom's and what implicaions they may have regarding support of the different LTE / GSM etc. protocols....

Also unlocking / relocking of the bootloader is not an big issue, I think, I would prefer

to not mess around with it, if not absolutely necessary or easier to get the desired result.

Thank you very much for giving me some directions / how-to's to get just root on my phone.

:fingers-crossed:

Root with the link given in the past above.. Then install CWM for locked bootloaders.. Then do a backup, and you're on the safe side :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] xbmcg:
Thanks!

Thanks,

worked like a charm! The only issue was to find and install a working adb-driver for my win7(x64).

What is the right CWM for the Xperia V 9.1.A.1.140?

Hallo again,

sorry for my stupid questions, you point me to the CWM for locked bootloaders and I would like to install it on my xperia V,

however there are many different threads regarding this, and I do not find yet the right one for my phone / software version.

Which one would do the trick?

I understand what you mean. For the seniors here many things are clear as glass, but for a noob the many versions of an app such as CWM is totally confusing. And very hard to find anyway. Contact me and I will send you the CWM Recovery that I am using for my V. It works 100 % safe and stabil like a Merkel. A really essential part of Android, IMO, and one of the very first things to do.

Hello All,

I installed the SPB GPRS Monitor on my Qtek 9000 and was wondering why is it that the icon on my today screen has disappeared and cannot be traced in Today option of settings?!!!!!

It was there for a while then when I stated the device after an hour the icon from my Today screen along with all it's features disappeared. Any reason why? How do I get it back? I don't want to lose the charges I already made and recorded on the program! Fido is a ripoff in Canada.

I installed Dinar Soft's MemMaid on my SD card. Does it have anything or a relation to the disappearance? Mind you it works per fectly fine from my SD card. Any help?

Thanks,

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] STEAKTASTIC:
I've done some searching on the tinternet and can't find a solution. I can download files no problem, using root explore I can find them and move them to a different folder when I need to extract them to my PC so its not a major issue. The download folder app that is preinstalled doesn't show any files, even when I go to settings/storage/downloads it shows the memory usage as 2gb (for example) but when I open it up there are no files. Any bright spark out there got a permanent fix for this? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sbaeder:
not to be sarcastic, but why use that app if it isn't working for you - if you can use a root explorer to see and even move/open files, that should be sufficient - right?

Maybe somehow the permissions on the files (folder) aren't quite right...but I would just ignore it...but YMMV
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] STEAKTASTIC:
It's just?a matter of principle really. Why should I have to download an app to view something as simple as downloaded files. I'm not overly fussed as there is a work around. Just curious to know if there is a possible fix before I remove the app.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] bionicsquirell:
So our phone has a lithium Ion battery right? Well heres some things most people do not know about this type of battery.

Sorry if this has been posted before!

Li-ion batteries begin to degrade as soon as they start to be used.

One cycle is based on a 100% depth of discharge (e.g. discharging from full to empty), the potential number of charges can be increased by not allowing the battery to become fully discharged before topping it up. For example, allowing a fully charged battery rated at 500 cycles to drop to 50% before recharging could potentially triple the number of charge/discharge cycles to 1500 before the battery capacity degrades, thus increasing the batteries overall lifespan. However, this also means the battery will need to be plugged in more regularly.​

This means that keeping the phone topped up, and not waiting for full discharges will potentially extend the battery life of the phone.

In no way am i saying this a definite thing, as i do not know, and this wont extend your screen on time if that's what your after, it will offer you the same amount of screen on time, for an extended period of time.

So to conclude, charging little and often can extend the life of your battery. In theory anyways. I read up on this from a few articles and websites, too many to reference, but this is the combined knowledge i found.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] LGaljo:
There are still a lot of people who thinks that you must discharge to empty.

This was required when NiCd batteries were in use. Li-Ion are different.

Thanks for posting that! :highfive:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Zhus06:
I have read on Note 3 forums how people cry about their battery life.

Thwir new software upgrade lowered thwir screen ON time to "only" 4-5 hours from 6-7. Whereby I am more then happy if i get 2-3 hours of screen time.

It makes me question my battery and software...

[LG Optimus 4X HD] klbterminator:
best battery saving strategy:

1) turn off wifi and 3g

2) put down your phone and pick up a book to read

3) dont touch you phone, use the landline to make call and laptop for messaging

right, speady? :D

Just kidding, WiFi and 3G are actually your battery killer. I'm currently using CM11 and can have 3 hours light gaming (Plague Inc.) with 700MHz CPU and 200MHz GPU settings. Another tip is dont use background process (such as news, email or even swiftkey; Google location accessing as well), they do wake your phone up regularly to sense if you have connection with the Internet Lord.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] tiflao:
But screen time?

Thanks
[LG Optimus 4X HD] sPEADy:
Wrong I do use my phone a lot and have pretty bad signal at my supermarket where I work and always have 3g on at work and wifi at home.

I do get 2 and half hours of screen time with 2 days usage. I did post in Carbon Rom 4.2.2 thread 4 hours of screen on time few months back :P so I do use my phone a lot when needed.

Hey everybody,

I just learnt the method for porting ROMs...

So i am trying to port MINICM 10 from HTC Explorer to Desire C and i want to know whether there is no harm in doing so, i would be using cm 10 build 3 as a base ROM, so i hope when i complete the base rom and when i flash it, it doesn't brick my phone !

I am still very junior over here in this section but i still want to port this ROM...Please everybody give me your suggestions so as to if there is any harm in doing so !

Thanks in advance:)
[HTC Desire C] bionicsquirell:
It's perfectly safe. Plus it's easy to port from HTC Explorer!

Just extract both

- Delete from golfu and Copy Apps, Media, Framework, and Fonts from pico to Golfu

- The go to etc>init.d, delete all except banner or something and don't copy the ones from pico yet

- Go to etc>permissions Copy the permissions from pico except platform and handheld_hardware

- Go to system>lib and copy over libmedia, libandroid and libandroid_runtime

Change the boot.img's over, zip and flash, if it flashes and boots, great! Go back an edit the build.prop using notepad++

If you get errors like set_perm failure, open the updater script in the meta inf folder, and copy the set_perm para from pico and paste in golfu

Reflash.

If it boots, add in the init.d scripts and reflash, may or may not boot.

it may or may not have root access.

Use NOPE boot.img
[HTC Desire C] maniknarang:
Yaa thanks buddy i know how to port was just thinking if there was no harm to flash it...

Thanks once again !
[HTC Desire C] Maurice5813:
theres always a risk of soft brick, which is bootlooping. Its an easy fix, just reboot into recovery and restore your backup or flash cm10 for you device:D

P.S: do a full wipe before flashing port roms as a dirty flash causes bootloops

Hi Guys i have developed a Swollen battery for my i9505 and have arranged a replacement via warranty and and Samsung. They need to see the phone along with battery however, My phone is currently rooted with cwm recovery installed. I need to bring it back to official firmware and i am looking for the same firmware the phone came with.

I am not to sure what region the original firmware was based on. I am from the UK and the phone was on o2 network. These are my about details prior to modification:

Android 4.2.2

Baseband Version: I9505XXUBMF8

Kernal Version: 3.4.0-917495 se.infra@SEP-124 #1 Wed June 19 20:07:29 KST 2013

Build: JDQ39.I9505XXUBMF8

SELinux: Permissive

Secure Boot Status: Type: Samsung

I believe i have the old boot-loader and my device is Knox free. I am looking for this firmware but cannot find it. I did some research and came across it on DjeMBeY's thread however the stock firmware he has link to was on Hotfile which is no longer running.

Can someone please help me find alternative link to my required firmware please? Also if my firmware was "MF8" does this mean all MF8's are the for the same region? or will there be separate MF8's for separate regions?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

AndroidFirmwares.net or Samsung-Updates.com, if they don't have what you need you're probably SOOL, at least until Samfirmware have all their stuff back up (when they put stuff up on Terra, they seem to have started with the most recent stuff working back, but it seems a bit 'patchy' I.E some recent stuff is up, some isn't).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuljit55:
Okay thanks i have had a look for my firmware on Samsung-Updates.com, and come across 2 firmwares which are MF8

GT-I9505	PRT	I9505XXUBMF8	Android	4.2.2	19.06.2013	917495

I believe one is for Spain and one for Poland, now my question is how do i know which one was originally on my phone? My phone is a UK model running on o2 network, and these 2 firmwares are for different countries, I am confused, should there be a MF8 for UK also? Please advice? thanks

And yes - please take many pics and post back with details of the procedure.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Shep:
Not necessarily...

If you use a lacquer based paint - it will "etch" itself into the plastic. IF you use enamel - yes, it will wear off quickly and most likely be "unsightly".

Make sure you steel wool it first to rough it up and sand between coats. When you are satisfied with the look - sand once again with very fine paper - like 600 grit or finer - then - spray with a couple of coats of clear. It will look great!

I use to run a guitar shop - building repairing and refinishing. This will take some time - but it will look great.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
I've repaired about 80 remote controls, and I highly suspect that most of the "never the same again" is related to wrangled plastic when trying to undo the 'click' system. If you have a ( Edit: http://www.noordhollandinbouw.nl/images/bankschroef.jpg ) and a very thin screw driver, these are pretty easy to open up without any wrangling/cracking. The other issue is paint getting inbetween seams - the device has to fit back together, so you need to keep the paint clear of those %)

Other than that, I really see no reason why it wouldn't be perfectly fitting back together with the only difference being the paintjob.

Maybe one of the two guys who mentioned this can give exact details? :)
