Okay, this isn't a normal "hey my phones not charging" post.

I have two optimus g E971 devices, one with a broken screen, one without. I've been using the one without for some time and the other day I got home and the thing wouldn't charge, no red light, no charging, no nothing, then it died.

I completely broke down the phones, switching parts one by one trying to figure out why its not charging (the broken screen one could always charge). So now that I've bascially switched all the internals except the screen and digitizer, it still doesn't charge, and the old phone with all the newer ones **** it can STILL charge. It makes no sense and I'm going ****ing crazy about it.

So I guess my question is, does the digitizer or screen have anything to do with charging? Because that's all that's left as all the boards appear to be working.

Thanks

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richardmlea:
Hi all,

Is anyone using a gear watch with a note one (n7000) and if you are have you found a custom rom that works with gear manager (so notifications are received on the watch)?

If not can someone point me in the right direction. Gear manager requires Android 4.3+ and touchwiz to work.

The reason I ask is I have a gear watch but I have lost my note 2 :crying: (no insurance) and cant afford to replace it just yet so I am using a note 1 until I can afford an upgrade to a note 3. I have searched this forum and the gear forum but cant see any mention of a note one and gear being used together.

Any advise will be appreciated.

Thanks

Richard

Nice guide. I think [MENTION=4081205]DocHoliday77[/MENTION] could use this method because I believe he bricked his phone the same way.

Oh, and I believe you might have made a typo SDB is actually ADB Android debug bridge.

Nice writeup. I assumed that a bootloader brick was the point of no return, thanks for proving me wrong.

Worth noting that you can flash any d2tmo ROM on the new bootloaders, even cm9 or 4.0.4 tw, but you may need to remove asserts from the updater-script.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
Great tutorial. An extreme amount of time went into this I can see. Hopefully it'll be able to get [MENTION=4081205]DocHoliday77[/MENTION] back up and running tho. I miss that guy!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TronMinecraft:
I spent a few days on it, I hope it helps people. I hope it gets Him back up and running, his MJC mirror was instrumental in my fix.

For most phones the bootloader brick would require JTAG; fortunately several of the Samsungs have the SD as default boot.

And you can flash older ROMs? I was unaware of this; every attempt I've made to run something older has resulted in a getprop(ro.bootloader) error. But that updater script assert makes sense. Thank's for letting me know. I'll check that out and add it to the OP

i want to update my phone to T999UVUEMJC 4.3 firmware

currently i'm on T999UVDMD5 4.1.2

is it safe to update using Odin?

sorry for noob question
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mrspock08:
Restoring bootloader to bricked S3 T999L

Great guide, thanks a ton to [MENTION=5652892]TronMinecraft[/MENTION] for this writeup! I've been lucky and haven't bricked my S3 T999L (the T-Mobile LTE variant), but a relative wasn't so lucky. She took the OTA upgrade and when she wasn't happy with the result tried to just restore to her old 4.1.2 backup. Needless to say she bricked her phone.

So, I can confirm that this method DOES work on a T999L. However, there are a couple of things to note (these should be no-brainers, but in the interest of saving questions from the newbies out there...) Of course like Tron said, I take no responsibility for damage to your device should you try this. I can only tell you that it worked fine for me. Here's the things to watch out for, listed by the steps in the OP:

4. Make certain that you use the correct PIT file for the T999L. The proper PIT file for the T999L is the one DocHoliday uploaded here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1848267&page=3. Do not use the regular T999 PIT file from [MENTION=2385005]invisiblek[/MENTION]'s first post in that thread, which is what was linked to in the OP.

5. Make sure you use the correct firmware for the T999L, NOT the T999. If you're trying to recover from a brick then most likely you're going to want the Original UVAMB7 firmware (JB 4.1.2), since it seems most bricks lately are caused by trying to downgrade after flashing the 4.3 update. Of course if you want to you can also flash the UVUBMK4 (4.3) firmware and get the complete stock 4.3 system, including the bootloader, KNOX, etc.

However, if you're just recovering from a brick and want 4.3 I would recommend not just flashing the UVUBMK4 firmware directly. Rather, I would flash the older UVAMB7 firmware, and then once your phone is back up and running flash DocHoliday77's UVUBMK4 4.3 Rooted, deodexed_KnoxFREE ROM from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2370981&page=58. Once you've done that, just flash the updated modem from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1880987 as needed. This way you end up with the full rooted version of the 4.3 firmware but without the 4.3 bootloader which includes KNOX and causes so many problems with downgrading.

Of course that's just my two cents. I've been running my S3 with DocHoliday's stock UVUBMK4, KnoxFree, rooted ROM with the UVAMB7 bootloader and UVUBMK4 radio for over a month now and haven't had any problems. As always, your mileage may vary.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TronMinecraft:
Thank you for confirming this worked for somebody else. I'm working on a slightly re-factored version of this based on input, and I'll be sure to note your findings about the T999L. Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TronMinecraft:
This really isn't quite the right place for such a question. A search will yield you great results.

But yes, there's no reason you couldn't if you're sure you have the right firmware for your GS3 model. However if you simply want a stock update, I'd just use the OTA update function, or kies. Its a bit safer than manually messing with Odin, and won't void your warranty.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nikDR:
Very useful thread. Bricking is actually a lot easier than I thought.

hi does this guide help downgrade a 4.3 without loosing imei ? thank you

hope to receive a answer to this noob question
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Adreaver:
You CAN NOT DOWNGRADE 4.3.

This guide is to unbrick you and return you to 4.3 if you tried to downgrade (which won't work, ever).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TronMinecraft:
Actually, from my own experimentation you were right, you can in fact downgrade from 4.3. You just can't flash a rom that tries to change the bootloader. You cannot downgrade the 4.3 bootloader; but there isn't any reason why you can't run an earlier version of android.

I am currently running 4.2.2 rootbox AFTER having having done the official 4.3 update.

I did this with TWRP, and a rootbox flashable zip.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Adreaver:
You did not downgrade. You flashed a custom ROM.

An example of downgrading would be a user on md5 flashing ljc with Odin. This puts bootloader, ROM, kernel, and baseband exactly as Samsung intended when LJC was released.

Looking over in the Note 3 forums it looks like a way has been found to root the phone WITHOUT tripping Knox. I tried a search here but can't find anything on it.

I'm all up for giving this a shot so I can undo SU.

The only thing is, is that I have no clue what a terminal is or how to use one. It does look like this can be done via Odin.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THIS IS FOR STOCK TW ROOT ONLY. Anything else will trip knox.

So what do you think? Personally (if this works) I think this is a great way to achieve Root and use root apps.

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topsnake:
Thats what I was trying to get to. I was under the impression that you were on constant LTE with no issues. Now that you say you leave it on H+ that makes sense. Not to worry, H+ pulls about 9Mb/s where as when im on VZW LTE I pull about 8.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlcano57:
I had a maxx running 4.4 kitkat using the phone info app and settings tweak on HSPA with WCDMA preferred as the setting. I am in a refarmed area in N.C cant tell any big difference between speed when I had the Iphone 5 on Tmobile LTE and the Maxx with HSPA. Seems just as fast.

Then i broke the screen on the maxx -_- instead of replacing the screen just got a new phone since Im not with verizon and it would have been 345 to replace the screen.

Just got a new one but its running 4.2.2 and am using the same settings with same results. :good:
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topsnake:
Can you see if you activate LTE how it functions? Curious to know if this bug was introduced in 4.4

Maxx'd out Kit Kat
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlcano57:
When I first got the phone I thought the same, I actually was under the impression the LTE wouldnt even pick up with my Tmobile sim on 4.2.2 Before I made the settings changes, I had my wifi on, LTE showed active on the status bar, I shut my wifi off, and it reverted to HSPA but did not have any active data, or any active cellular functions. I re activated the wifi, the LTE status came back but still had no cellular functions, the data I did have was obviously coming from my wifi and not cell data. For some reason I though 4.2.2 I didnt have to make any changes and HSPA would work automatically, but I guess not. Im not picky though as long as it works somehow, I am happy.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topsnake:
Maybe a reboot and retry? Do this for me. Turn off wifi and set pref mode to LTE/Gsm/umts. Leave the pref network to auto and try that

Gave that a shot with no luck. Was there a specific network mode I was supposed to select in the phone info app? I had in the phone settings LTE/GSM/UMTS and network on auto, i scrolled through a bunch of the selections in the phone info app with no luck, just HSPA and no connection.

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlcano57:

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sauveur:
Well now I'm really confused. I was under the impression that you could get T-Mobile LTE so long as you don't update to 4.4 (as explained by the thread linked earlier, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2591954). How are other people able to get LTE on the MAXX while on T-Mobile?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlcano57:
I just found this on the other thread which I where I obtained all my original settings....maybe I should retry? Not too jazzed about waiting an hour to get data back after coming off wifi though
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sauveur:
So how was your phone working on 4.4 before you broke it? Just HSPA+? No problems other than that?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlcano57:
Yep had no issues with the phone running stock 4.4 what so ever. Just followed the settings listed in the other thread, I held HSPA+ with no issues with calls, data, mms or sms it switched to E when I was out of the city, and back all on its own. . I only had it for 4 days though before it was R.I.P =( Since my replacement I have been running same settings from 4.4 with HSPA+ no issues found so far, then again I havent left a refarmed area in a little while, so Ill have to see how it transitions to E in the out of city areas. Im assigned a station near the north side of the city tomorrow, and will probably have an opportunity or two to be out of the refarmed area to make sure the signals transition with no issues. Iam on day 2 with the replacement...at least its in a cyclops case now lol
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sauveur:
Out of curiosity, how did you break the phone? Is it easy to break?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlcano57:
Ordered my cyclops case, the phone got delivered first, I had it in the plastic Droid cover with the fakered/black kevlar back that they sell at the Verizon store. Thought it would manage until the case got delivered...I was wrong. Was getting out of my truck and had it in my jacket pocket, fell out hit the pavement, not sure where it made contact but top L corner of the case had a nick, which also left a small nick on the kevlar back, and the bottom left of the phone had a huge spider crack in the glass screen which ran horizontally across all the soft keys, and another fracture line diagonally up the right side to about the 1/4 the height of the phone. Within an hour I lost all soft key functions. Checked into some of the local places for screen replacement was quoted 340, and found another maxx on craigslist for 390 which just had some small scratches on the screen, and I picked it up that day. Just forgot to ask if it was running 4.4, and alas it isnt. Kinda stinks to have had the better camera software and little things on 4.4, feels like a downgrade. Ill just stay hopeful the update is re released soon. I used to have the Iphone 5 and really dont notice that much of a difference between the 4.2.2 or 4.4 speeds of HSPA+ compared to the LTE on the Iphone. Whenever I wasnt in LTE range near any of the city areas around here the out of town areas usually only have E for any tmobile phone anyway so I really dont mind not having LTE right now...at least I cant tell a difference for my purposes
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sauveur:
OK so to be clear. When my MAXX arrives, and I put my T-Mobile sim in:

1. If on 4.2, what happens?

2. If on 4.4, what happens?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlcano57:
Cant speak for everyone else, but for me:

1. For my first phone on 4.4 LTE was on the screen and active (blue colored) and your LTE data will work and have LTE speed, but when you try and make a phone call, send a text/receive a text or any other general phone function it will fail, unless you manually in the settings shut off LTE. When your done with the call or the text, etc youll have to turn LTE back on to have LTE.

You must change the settings as this thread describes http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2591954

This will allow you to run HSPA+ until they release an update which will fix the LTE glitch for other 1700 bands. Not sure when this will be since, they are still working on the update to 4.4 for those who werent lucky enough to receive the update, or unlucky enough for the update to harm they're phone.

2. On 4.2 I put in my sim, showed LTE active (blue colored), I tried to use data but it said "no internet connection", when i tried a phone call it had no problems switching from LTE to the lower band then back to LTE, but for some reason LTE just didnt work for me.

I just retried all the settings in the thread I just linked, and had the same result as 4.4 with no problems as of yet.

If I get a little more time between studying and work this weekend Ill retry 4.2.2 LTE without any changes since I just read something between one of the 6 threads about this I am monitoring, which reported someone on 4.2.2 had an issue with shutting off WIFI and it taking an hour to get LTE data to work every time he/she switched from wifi to cell data. I cant remember if I had wifi on when I first put in the sim, I was just concentrated on getting my phone back to normal operation and reinstalling and completely re doing everything I did 4 days before.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcanexvi:
As I'm the OP of that thread I can pretty easily clarify the confused here that don't want to read my thread.

4.2 Users: If the correct APN info is loaded you will receive LTE and HSPA+ coverage (in refarmed areas which is most areas now if you're not rural). Device will switch to HSPA+ when making a call then bounce back to LTE when the call is complete. This is because carriers are not yet sending voice call over LTE. The phone is completely usable like this.

4.4 Users: LTE service will cause phone calls and sms failures. The device will throw a roaming error and kill the call immediately. The fix is to put the phone into UMTS mode only and use it without LTE for the time being unless you want to manually Toggle back and forth all the time.

So has there been any fix for this yet or no? I just began using my Verizon Droid Maxx with 4.4.4 on T-Mobile last night and have all the issues expressed here with ability to correct the phone and texting issues when setting it to use HSPA + through these steps:

Mobile network settings - Change network mode to LTE/GSM/UMTS

So ultimately I am seeking a permanent fix so I can use LTE and have full phone call and texting without issue. Any further word on this perhaps? Thx!
