Thanks for the reply!

I don't know about that because it was already mk4 before I ever rooted it and putt the rom on and I have already had to use the same recovery stock rar file two other times to get it back to original stock. And I haven't changed the mk4 since stock not even with the root or the rom Ive installed so it doesn't make sense especially when I have done this twice with the same rar file flashed with odin and always had good result never got stuck from not booting all the way. But so far your the only person all day i have had any advice from and you are a senior member who im sure knows what they are talking about so i guess I will have to find out how to revert from mk4 that Ive never changed to a MC2 and hope that that will do something for me im just baffled that the same thing that Ive done 2 other times wont work again....

Thanks again for the reply any other advice along the way or what ever you feel like adding is more than welcome i really appreciate you now im gonna be on the hunt for this MC2 install and what is the best steps to follow and go on....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
What recovery did you use? Philz 6.12. X?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] slade1style:
No TWRP 2.6.3

No I had TWRP recovery but when i realized there was no getting to flash the rom nandroid BU I went ahead and did a factory wipe and all the files your suppossed to wipe and then I used odin like I have many times before and flashed the same recovery stock rar I have used before to go back to stock and start fresh any way this time odin said pass as usu-wall and then it acted as though it were going to boot and then it lit up the silver samsung emblem for a hot sec and then went black and stayed black after that even when i plugged the charger in the led light would not even show it was charging. But if I take the battery out and back in while its plugged in to charger the screen comes on with the little green battery icon and shows it charging. if i push pwr it show samsung icon then goes dead. Now if I push all the button for recovery it will boot back to stock android recovery. and i can upload one of the backups which was my last rom but it of course act as if it will load and then fails which i know is because i dont have the custom recovery any more but it didnt work either when I did and i don't know man im baffled...

The only suggestion Ive been given so far was from the senior member above and said i need to flash a earlier firmware than mk4 but that is weird to me since I have never had any thing installed on anything other than an mk4 but it make sense that it could work I just have not found the info that makes me feel confident about choices yet...

Thanks for replying any other thought please share!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Well sounds like the odin flash had some kind of issue even though it did not state one. Try going back into download mode and flash a custom recovery (twrp) then flash billards back to stock MC2. This will restore everything back even if you have the knox bootloader. Link is below for easy access. Two things twrp is recommended and do a factory reset before installing. After install reboot (apply su when asked if you want it) the phone will reboot display a messed up screen then reboot once again (normal dont worry). After that you can flash your custom recovery via odin and you should not have any more issues.

Let me know if that works for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] slade1style:
So I found the write far file for mk4 and it flashed beautifully I tried a flash of the Mc2 in the reply from earleier post but it did not pass in Odin but I really expected that because I was pausitive that there was another mk4 rar that would work. And now I'm back to a fresh stock rom and I have all the flash file I need to get it rooted and custom romed in no time. I really do appreciate the help and suggestions it is nice to know there is help when needed! So thanks again and I got the file from TA TRUE ANDROID vpubmk4 firmware android 4.3 for the sprint sph-l900 I just had to do some hunting in order to find it. And it didn't help that my renters from the other side of the duplex were having their Internet fixed and the Tech accidently disconnected my lines out side so I was with out Internet for a long time and then when it was finally fixed I found this and flashed it no problems. Thanks again. If you don't mind I'm gonna send a friend request to you I don't have any friends or contacts in this forum and it would be nice to have another person to occasionally check in with? Ya know any way take my brother and stay cool......

For the record (since people seem to still be having issues) you CANNOT DOWNGRADE THROUGH ODIN WITH THE NEW BOOTLOADER!!! You can however downgrade through (custom?) RECOVERY using the previously mentioned method.

As the title suggests, I need a recommendation on which earphones to buy. I have difficulty finding something myself as I don't have much experience when it comes to this. I'm going for something with good bass and good sound quality in general, which would cost me max. €60.

Thanks in advance!

I use Sennheiser CX 300 II and I bought in Italy for 35€.

I use Sennheiser CX 150 too and they are less expensive.

Both provide very good basses and very good quality. Remember that every earphone need 10-12 hours of work to get their best quality.

I talk as audiophile, I love music and I love listening music is a very good way
[Xperia Z Accessories] cervandes:
Try SoundMagic E10 or E10M. I had few Sennheiser's in my life, few better earphones and that, what SoundMagic offers is a real MAGIC. Best earphones I've ever had.

Sony isnt kidding when it says "extra bass" they are durable, have a serrated cord so doesnt tangle.

and the audio output is epic,

plus if u put pure sonico sound mod + viper audio fx on your xperia Z. u can actually tap into the full potential of these babies.

I decided to go for the e10, and they arrived today. Been checking if if they are original. Everything seems to be okay physically speaking, except for the M310 printed on the other side of the plastic where the ends of right and left earphone meet. That left me a bit puzzled and concerned as I can't find any pic with that printed on it. Also, if these are legit, they now come with hard case instead of a pouch.

[Xperia Z Accessories] cervandes:
You need to use them for few hours to make them work like they should. You will notice a very big difference between sound quality just after unpacked and after 10 or 20 hours od playing.

About the printing... Try write to them on facebook? But I think, there's no Soundmagic's fake's... In my country there is a lot of crap from china and You have to be vary carefull when buying staff like headphones. I havn't seen fake E10 or any oder model from Soundmagic.

I recommend Sony M1HC. They are in-ear and the sound is really nice. Plus the price is surprisingly low.

[Xperia Z Accessories] MarkMagic:
I think they're fakes

Hi there,

I recently bought a pair from Amazon which were supplied from a third party. They arrived and looked genuine but the sound quality was awful. The vocals were tinny and the bass was non existent

Suspicious, I bought another pair (this time direct from Amazon) and the sound quality was immense, light years ahead and considerably better than the fakes.

The packaging, look, feel, case and everything was the same except for the fake ones had M310 printed on them and the genuine ones had M304.

I recommend you send them back and buy a real pair, you'll notice the difference immediately.

[Xperia Z Accessories] Okluzhion:
[MENTION=2956962]MarkMagic[/MENTION]

Hello, one thing confuses me though. The package had a serial number on it by which one can check on SoundMagic's webpage whether the product really is theirs/original. Now, judging by that number, the product is not a fake, but I can see that being somehow faked as well. I'll post pics of the package and earphones in a minute.

Sent from my eXposed C6603

Edit:

Here are the pics of the aforementioned, possibly fake, product (click on the pic for a bigger resolution). A mail was sent to SoundMagic as well, to see if this really is a counterfeit.

Edit2:

Did some Google search and found some images of these earphones with different numbers, I'm not sure what they represent though. The numbers are M104, M204, M307. It seems it's a serial number of a sort.
[Xperia Z Accessories] MarkMagic:
Still probably fakes

Hey,

Thanks for the pics, I still think they're fake and the reason is the front picture with the What Hi-Fi logos on.

On the fake pair I had, the text of "HEADPHONES" and "SOUNDMAGIC" was a bit blurry but on the real pair it was very crisp and clear. I took some photos so I'll try and post them later to show you what I mean.

Perhaps the numbers on the wire are OK?

You can see the difference in the logo print above and below you can see a lack of "crispness" on the fake text compared to the real one.

Unbelievably good fake packaging though, the differences are tiny.

Hope this helps!

P.S. The other thing I noticed was the plastic of the cable was a bit "glossy" on the fake pair compared to a more "matt" finish on the real pair.

[MENTION=2956962]MarkMagic[/MENTION]

I believe my e10's are actually the real deal. Haven't gotten a reply from SoundMagic to confirm this, but the sound is good and it seems these are the new series. A question though: did you get a number on the fake package with which you can confirm the product actually came from SoundMagic? Also, the letters printed on the package are crisp. All in all, everything seems to be original.

Mako bootloader is simply said safer. You have more recovery ways if something goes wrong, so yes I suggest you to install freegee and flash mako bootloader (not sure but I think you can flash over your unlocked bootloader)

[Moto X Q&A] YabosMcGee:
Hey all. I'd be interested in hearing how many of you don't use a screen protector, and if so, are you seeing any damage to the screen? After watching this video (warning: cringe-inducing) I reconsidered my policy of always putting a screen protector on my mobile devices http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlFS-hQK50I

I've always put on a Zagg InvisibleShield on my devices. This time, I was searching for alternatives because I was tired of the wet install, dirt/lint causing the film to start peeling after about a year, and then having to reinstall with a warranty replacement. I just discovered tempered glass protectors, like Ghost Glass from Mime USA. But, I originally chose an InvisibleShield because I don't like putting my device in a case, and with film I can just carry it around in my pocket without worrying about scratching. The video I linked seems to indicate that this phone can take a lot more abuse then I originally thought.

So, who doesn't use a screen protector? If you don't, are you getting any scratches on the screen? Would you mind posting pics of your screen to show what, if any, damage is happening to your screen? Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks.
[Moto X Q&A] brian Marshall:
I've used cases on previous phones, but not on my X. I've never used a screen protector. I think anything that would cause major damage is going to go right through a screen protector. The typical micro scratches you get from setting the phone down or floating around in your pocket are really not visible with the screen on. Even with the screen off you really have to look for them. I think most screen protectors really dull the display. Maybe they've gotten better recently.

If i posted pictures of my screen you wouldn't even be able to see the scratches. There are some there, but you only see them in the right light at the right angle.
[Moto X Q&A] mavericktc:
I hate cases, it ruins everything. Why buy a "designed" phone and then put it in a case *cough iphone users cough*?

At work I put it in a sleeve mainly because there are lots of dirt, screws, bolts etc in the same pocket.

When I'm not working it's totally nude and every phone I owned was treated the same.

I never sell my phones either but I'v heard that it's quite popular to do so.

Exactly my thoughts as well. I hate the bulk of a case. But, I have always gotten a Zagg InvisibleShield for my devices, usually with full coverage. I like just keeping it in my pocket without the bulk of a case.

Have you gotten any scratches on your screen yet (for the Moto X or any other smartphone)?

Yes...going naked while doing construction is probably not a good idea. Too many chances of accidents with a hammer. :eek:

[Moto X Q&A] showbo:
No screen protector. But I do use a hybrid case. I went on a stint of not protecting my phone with a case. An accidental drop from my car and phone was broke, had to replace the glass. A case would have saved it since it dropped directly on a corner.

I do agree with the idea of no case though. Phones look slick with no case!

Naked all the way. Not a big fan of cases. As some of the people said already, why cover something good looking. The htc evo 4g with extended battery (3500 mah) turned me off from putting any cases on any cellphone ever. That phone traumatized me. I am still scared to leave 4g on or gps or to increase brightness. That phone wouldn't last me more than 4 hours. I had to turn off almost everything.
[Moto X Q&A] thedosbox:
No case, no screen protector, no damage since I got mine in October.
[Moto X Q&A] brian Marshall:
I'll also add that while i don't put a case on my x, it's primarily because of the shape and design. I can't see that translating through a case well.

my prior phone was a samsung infuse which had a very hard plastic-y back and easy to lose the grip. it was also very thin. It was actually awkward to handle without a case. Even with the case it got chipped up pretty well. Perhaps samsung has improved but the finish on that phone flaked off if you looked at it wrong.
