try to flash

protect_f.img

protect_s.img

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] zsizsi:
Hi all,

I have a toshiba portege r200 and I'm simply not able to set up activesync to work through bluetooth. The darn computer only sees my phone as a modem.

I have no clue how to do this.

I really cant' see why this has to be so hard. Both units are running stupid microsoft software. Whey the can't microsoft think that people migh want to connect their ppc's to their laptops via bt and just make it work easily?

Please, someone help.

thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] admisi:
Try deleting the pairing on your pc and the Universal. Then initiate from the Universal. It Should give you an option for ActiveSync. Also check in ActiveSync on your PC that you have set up connection settings to allow connections to Com4 (maybe another Com part in your case.)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] okay22s:
using odin to flash modem bin with 4.3 rom but when i look in about device it will not stick still says mdl 5 times already
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: Odin flashing modem.bin

Download the MK2 Modem.bin if you don't already have it.

Here is the direct download link for it: http://www.mediafire.com/download/1g...l89x/modem.bin

Here are the exact step by step instructions for doing that, doing it this way worked fine for me.

Before flashing anything be sure to make a nandroid backup of your rom.

You can Odin flash the MK2 modem while on the 4.2.2 rom or flash it

after flashing Wicked v9.1 MK2 rom the procedure is exactly the same.

Before starting, unplug the usb cable from your phone if it's plugged in

and remove the battery from the phone for 30 seconds then replace.

#1: Power up the phone.

#2: Start ODIN and put the MODEM.BIN file into ODIN'S PHONE slot/tab.

#3: Un-Check the "Auto-Reboot" check box in ODIN.

#4: Put the phone into download mode

#5: Plug the USB cable into the phone and into the computer.

#6: Make sure that ODIN'S [COM:xx] lights up and click START..

#7: After Odin is done flashing unplug the usb cable.

#8: Manually power off the phone by using the power button only.

#9: Wait 20 seconds or so and power on the phone.

After flashing is done the baseband of the phone should display MK2 in

Settings>More>About Device> Baseband version.

Good luck with it!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] okay22s:
Thanks again I'll try that way
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
After Odin says passed, leave it plugged in for another 30 seconds. Then manually power off the phone. Unplug it, put it in download mode again, replug it, and flash again. Then reboot. It will stick. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] okay22s:
Thanks for the info finally got it after six times just thought I was doing something wrong the first couple of times I'm happly running darthstalker ROM with no data drops everything's smooth thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
Yeah, it can take a while if it is your first time flashing a modem. Glad you have it working, enjoy your ROM! :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aamir123:
just so I don't have to create a new thread and my question is somewhat related.

If I move up to 4.3 with root (not bootloader) and decide I want to come back to 4.2, will I have to flash the 4.2 (mdl) LTE modem or can the 4.3 (mk2) LTE modem work fine?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
The mk2 modem work just fine with mdl firmware. I was using it for over a week on mdl before flashing a 4.3 ROM.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caebron:
Just dropped my phone on the edge of a glass table from a height if about 1.5 ft. The backing separated a bit (2mm, I just popped it back in) and there now a wee groove right by the headphone connector. Other than cosmetic, there *seems* to be no internal damage. Everything works fine as far as I am able to tell, including using headphones and I hear nothing rattling inside when I shake it. There are these barely audible squeal/ tiny beeps in that area which I can only hear when I put my ear right up to it, but that may be normal?

My question to you good people is, should I be worried that something on the inside may have become loose and cause problems down the lane? Or all is well as long it works okay? How can I check to be sure?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beauenheim:
You should be fine, if there doesn't seem to be any internal damage, then you probably have nothing to worry about. Water damage tends to be less predictable, not drops.

As for that dent, maybe you can get a replacement housing.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caebron:
Thanks, that kinda what I figured too, but now I'm just paranoid that something broke internally or damaged just enough to work itself loose in time. But that hint you gave about drop damage predictability makes sense.

I wish I could make sure.

Any ideas about the cost for LG repair service? I called them earlier and they were super unhelpful.

I should probably just look up a youtube tutorial on how to open the phone and peek inside.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caebron:
Ok, yeah I should be fine :D After watching a guy disassemble his phone on youtube, there is nothing in that particular area other than the headphone jack. Looks like the plastic cover and the jack itself absorbed most if not all of the shock.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beauenheim:
If you ever experience issues with it, the headphone jack on a nexus 5 is a super easy part to replace, as it's not soldered anywhere. Just clips as I heard from iFixit.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gumbyx84:
I've been running into an issue with Swype since the last update. Whenever I first power up my tablet (Nook HD+ running Unofficial CarbonRom JB3), I keep getting an error stating swype has crashed/stopped responding whenever I unlock the screen. This only happens after a boot or reboot. This doesn't happen on my phone which is running a rooted Stock ROM. I can't post in the deveoplers forum to ask the dev directly, so I'm asking here. Has anyone run into this problem with Unofficial CarbonRom JB3, any forks of CWM, or CWM?

I'd be posting this in the ROM thread but I do not have enough posts to do so so I am SOL. If anyone can give me a hand I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hi everyone, happy new year best wishes for all...

Im having problems with my slimport connection like some of the people in this thread:

http://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!msg/nexus/o3LTHLbSiv0/vRa3xRaER58J

I get a random connection, i can get like 20secs of mirroring then it fail (no image mirror, no audio, just like unplug it) 5secs then is working fine again. I can get 20secs of 20min sometimes, but it fails again and reconnect. Does someone of you use slimport and hace experienced the same issue?

sorry for my bad english, is hard to explain the issue ^^

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bladebuddy:
That happened to me when I used a very cheap HDMI cable from pound land. Replaced the cable with my original one and it worked fine. Also is it an original slimport or a cheap China copy as I bet cheap ones do the same.

Finally when pairing with your T.V make sure your playing something in H.D on either YouTube or video player as that helps to make a good connection.

Also only use a USB connection and cable when charging never a wall charger as that stops connection.

If you're still having problems then maybe the slimport is damaged.

If you're T.V is an old Samsung they have problems looking at the link you posted as we'll.

Please and Thank you!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Naddict:
This is something that all users are expected to read and learn about over in the development threads.

As XDA is not a support site, users are expected to do their own research into this and make their own determinations as to what is the most "stable" for them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] igory_1999:
The screen on my wife's S4 from ATT stays on while charging.

If you press the power button, it'll go away for a while but then turns on again.

Disabling 'stay awake' in developer's options does not seem to help.

Is there any other way to keep the screen off?

Is there a danger of burning the screen?

[Moto G General] rngrdanny22:
So let me tell you how this went down...

First, I go to a local Best Buy Mobile store to check out the Moto G for my girlfriend. They tell me they can't sell me one in the store until Jan. 9th, but if I purchase one online and choose to pickup in the store, I could get one. So I stand in the store, buy the phone on my GS4, and pick it up at the counter. Weird process, but whatever.

So I bought the phone. The lady at the register assured me that I would be able to use this on her line (which is a contract line). Go to activate it, and find out that it can't be done until the 9th. That's cool, no problem. Once I get home, I find out that the phone will only work on a prepaid line and BestBuy did not inform me of this. I go back up to the store to return it, but they won't take it back because it's opened. Oh, I forgot to mention, the lady at the damn counter was the one who opened it!

So, is there ANY way that I could get this to activate on a contract line without having it activated on a prepaid line for 6 months, or am I screwed? If not, is there a good way to bypass the activation and use it solely as a wifi "tablet" (for my girlfriend's kid)?

If I actually am screwed, anyone want this thing for $80 shipped in the continental US?
[Moto G General] big gulps huh?:
That's a lie about it being opened. I have returned prepaid phone there on several occasions. There is something either shady about your story or the person working but something isn't adding up here.
[Moto G General] szymgio:
There is no SIM slot right?
[Moto G General] rngrdanny22:
Yeah, I thought something was fishy about that too. I'm going to try and take it back when someone else is working.

Correct, there is no SIM slot.
[Moto G General] Lay295:
You can bypass the activation easily, simply hit next 1 time, pull down the notification center, click on the multitasking button and swipe away the activation screen quickly, and boom! You have a $100 iPod touch alternative :D (which is why I bought it) I recorded a short video to show you, wiped it real quick because I just got it yesterday anyways

youtu.be/qhphsyRFEy4
[Moto G General] szymgio:
It doesn't make sense to buy device without SIM slot...
[Moto G General] wws12:
Why? CDMA phones have never used SIM slots. It's only with LTE now that Verizon and Sprint have used SIMs in their phones
[Moto G General] szymgio:
I like to have choice.
[Moto G General] skyhawk21:
uhm it was my impression that with bestbuy you can return prepaid phones opened within 14 days, the part you left out of your story is how long you waited to return the phone!
[Moto G General] kurtwitt:
Nice

The Verizon phone has only been available for 3 days. He's no way near the 14 day limit. Love the attitude.
[Moto G General] sicembaylor:
Cool story, brah. Nonetheless, I guess you missed the fact that he bought this for his girlfriend who is under contract with Verizon which is a CDMA carrier. You can't buy a GSM phone and use it on a CDMA carrier. The only time one would need a SIM card slot is if you're using it on Sprint or Verizon's LTE network and since this phone doesn't have LTE....
[Moto G General] rngrdanny22:
Thanks for the responses guys! I'll try the unlock method later tonight when I have the phone in hand again (girlfriend still has it at the moment).

As for the return policy, I agree with y'all. I probably should be able to take it back, but the lady at the counter seemed like she might have been new or something. I actually tried to take it back about 4 hours later, so way within the 14 day window mentioned earlier.

On a side note, I won't be using the phone either way as I just went ahead and bought a like-new GS3 from a friend that she is going to use (wish I would have known he was selling it PRIOR to all this). If I can use it as a tablet, I'll just let her kid have it, but if not, I'll try and take it back again.

Will keep everyone posted!
[Moto G General] motrinHD:
keep us posted guy, I might take you up on that offer.

Good luck.
[Moto G General] szymgio:
Can you use this phone with other CDMA carrier?
[Moto G General] Alejandrissimo:
So I can buy one at best buy at 99 usd and use or not? No need anything like an active line or anything else?

Sent from my Moto G
[Moto G General] motrinHD:
read post above. I my self haven't bought one yet. buy looks like we can
[Moto G General] Willieumm:
Correct. After being told they didn't have any at my local store I was happy to inform them that they had 8 of them in stock which was very easy to find out online, and a little arguing about whether or not they could sell it yet, as well as a call to their Verizon rep, I finally was able to procure a Moto G without activating it. Hoping to find out this will work immediately with PagePlus.
[Moto G General] rngrdanny22:
Good news everyone, I was able to bypass the activation screen and unlock the phone for "tablet" use (using the methods mentioned in this thread). After playing with the phone for a little while, I gotta say, I actually like the thing! While we won't be using this as a phone, I will probably keep it to use as a MP3 player for the house.

I played around with the features a little and the only real disappointment that I saw was the camera. Maybe I'm use to the 13MP on the GS4, but the picture quality just didn't seem very good. Better than my girlfriend's old iPhone 4, but lacking nonetheless.
[Moto G General] kasmar21:
Let me know how that works out. I tried and the pageplus rep said that the phone was unable to work, and it needed to be 'unlocked.' I wonder if I just got someone who didn't know what to do.
[Moto G General] kasmar21:
I returned my Verizon prepaid moto g today to BB. I did not have any issues. They did check to see if it had been activated. They turned the phone on and seeing the activate wizard appear turned it off. They only thing I didn't get back was the $0.70 for a 911 fee.
[Moto G General] Willieumm:
Same here so I went ahead with Verizon.
[Moto G General] Zlatty:
I bought mine from BB on Monday. I activated it and said "pay later" both times. I got a number, and was able to sign in with my google account. Right now, it's streaming music in my kitchen and I consider it a nifty little ipod device.

---------- Post added at 07:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 AM ----------

99 + TAX

You'll have to activate it as you are prompted at every boot

However, you can skip the payment method (pay later option)

You will be asked this at the beginning of the setup and at the end

You'll get a phone number

However, VZV does not know who you are, no personal data is exchanged and until you sign into your Verizon account and pre pay, you have a phone that can surf the web, has GPS, and plays music (including FM!).

I think you might be able to use it for emergency calls too, but don't quote me on that! ;)

BONUS: If you have Torque installed, and the $20 ODBII dongle, you can stick the MOTO G in your car and enjoy all of that sweet sweet car data collection ;)
[Moto G General] aviara:
Bought 2 for $200 from best buy with no intention of actually activating ;) The G paddywhacks the iPod touch for $200 less.Currently trying to root and will probably have one permanently set in wall that controls music/lights/thermostat and TV/Chromecast.11/10 would buy shrink again :)

As for the other, I'm using as a groove IP+Google voice device. Battery life is RIDICULOUSLY good. And that's coming from someone with the 7000mah extended battery for S3 and 10,000mah for Note 3.

At this price, the G cant be beat.
[Moto G General] Frogacuda:
A Verizon rep told me they CAN activate this on Verizon as long as it hasn't been activated on a prepaid account first. So skip the activation as per the instructions posted earlier and then call Verizon with the IMEI.

I'll be trying it later today.
[Moto G General] dukkha2:
Mine was activated by a VRZ rep at the store. I got a phone number but I have not paid the prepaid plan yet. I believe I only have to pay when I make a call. Can I still use it like yours second phone set up: groove IP+ Google voice . Is this the way to make call using Google voice via WiFi ?
[Moto G General] jwl3429:
Please post if this works, thanks.
[Moto G General] Frogacuda:
Their computer was down and they couldn't sell it to me. Will try again soon.
[Moto G General] Reckoning:
Just skip the activation until later when the details have been worked out. I bought one at BB on Monday and have been using GrooveIP since then from my home wifi. Everything else on the phone is working fine aside from airtime calls.
[Moto G General] zenihilist:
I bought a 16Gb G a couple weeks ago to use for Wi-Fi only. Anyone think it's worth it to return the G I have for one with half the memory and cost?

[Moto G General] TotesMyGoats:
I just ordered a Moto G, and I was wondering, if you skip the activation, can you still activate it at a later date? I'm gonna have to wait anywhere from a day to a week for my current month with straight talk to end.
[Moto G General] Johnodavidson:
I picked one up yesterday and activated it like noted above (not using my info)

Using the website I was NOT able to move it to the line. It errored and has you call customer service. I haven't called yet, I think I might just move the whole thing to AT&Ts new pre-paid data share.
[Moto G General] Johnodavidson:
I called and talked to a manager, like stated above 6 month on prepaid no options. Not sure who said a month but they are operated as two groups per the manager and they have no control. If someone said a month and they know what group at big red would make do it let us know.
[Moto G General] motrinHD:
anyone been able to root cdma version?
[Moto G General] idontknowcats:
The video that showed how to bypass activating it had a comment explaining after every bootup a notification pops up asking you to activate. So yes, you can.
[Moto G General] masterfred:
I just skip activation. How do you program your phone no on this one ? I will try to active it on Videotron network (AWS) in Canada ... I purchased the unlock code on ebay.
[Moto G General] aviara:
Yes you can.
[Moto G General] evilmrt:
Just got one at BB and moved it over to my existing non-prepay line (contract fulfilled already). BB had to do it manually over the phone, but it worked fine. Just be prepared to wait a good while.

YMMV due to the amount of time it takes the BB person to activate it, I suppose they might refuse if busy.
[Moto G General] mmolignano:
And you did this for the $100 pre-paid cost? That would be excellent if I can get them to do the same for me.
[Moto G General] marienvuik:
straighttalk

Did anyone try to activate the moto g on straighttalk on the $45 plan for cdma phones.
[Moto G General] skyjedi:
So you activate it and skip payment method. Does it pop up each time you restart it still?
