[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lgfuad:
I hard bricked my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3.

I got the thing rooted just fine and I went to install a new ROM. I downloaded EZ unlock to unlock the bootloader and it all went fine. Then I went to restart it and nothing. It won't turn on at all. It doesn't enter recovery mode or download mode. It doesn't light up when it's plugged into the wall charger or laptop. My computer does make the sound when I connect the phone, but nothing shows up. When I open Odin I can get it to recognize the phone if I press the buttons to go into download mode but then it looses the connection as soon as it says added.

I followed this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2581166 but it didn't work.

I can't believe I did this. I feel like a total fool. You know that sick feeling that sinks into your gut? Yeah, I have it. I need this thing fixed like now but I don't know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can either use the method you posted or get it jtag'd. Those are your only 2 options in this scenario.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lgfuad:
Thank you for your reply.

I really got myself stuck in the creek.

I was looking up the jtag stuff last night but I'm still confused about it. Is it a program I can download or a usb stick that I have to buy? Can I get it from a store or do I have to purchase one off Ebay?

Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
It's complex, it rewrites your bootloader to your mother board using a riff box. It isn't something easy that you could buy and operate yourself.

You'd send it out to someone. They'd break apart your phone and rewrite the boot image, put it back together, then send it back. Costs anywhere between $20-60.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lgfuad:
I just want to thank you again for your replies and your patience with my... noobishness.

I swear, I'm never messing around with my phone again. I had my old phone for 4 years and never fooled around with it. I had this one for 2 weeks and destroyed it.

Is there a company you could recommend that I could send it to? I'm in the U.S., Midwest region.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
No problem, glad I could point you in the right direction.

It's not an issue about you messing with your phone. You just have to read more and understand what you're doing before attempting anything. All the information about 4.3 having a locked bootloader and not using ez unlock was readily available. Just next time you decide to root your phone, just read up as much as you can about it before attempting the process.

I really have no recommendations for jtag because I've never had to use it, but I know some eBay sellers can get pretty cheap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lgfuad:
OMG I got it working. I just had to buy a different card.

Yeah, you're completely right. I'm certainly going to read everything before I attempt something like this again.

Thank you again!

I recently unlocked my bootloader and installed iHackers on my z1.then again i restored my ta backup after a while and came back to official rom 136.and everything works good like x-reality.but the walkman version installed is 7.5 and i do know and i have 8.1 version but there is nothing shown in the update center.is this a problem with my update center cause of my bootloader unlocking and relocking or this version is not officially released in update center?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
When you installing Custom roms sometime show up some issues with updates but this should not be a big problem. You can do this manually or wait few weeks after installation to let the phone download the update by it self.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiM72NiK:
Is there any way to make sure? I thought the TA-backup will prevent this kind of problems after restoring! If there is a problem,how should i fix it?is there any?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
If you restored TA and Relocked Bootlader you should not have problem to update but this can get time to let show up the update of your phone. Other than that I think there is not any fix, try reboot your phone or do a factory reset, if that not help at last someone should drop the update for you.
[Sony Xperia M] villacelt:
I unlocked my bootloader a while ago and have been running PecanCM's version of CyanogenMod 11, i just tried a different sim but its still carrier locked. Does this mean i still have to purchase an unlock code?:confused:
[Sony Xperia M] stamatis:
Bootloader unlocking doesn't sim-unlock your phone.
[Sony Xperia M] villacelt:
ok was thinking that, guess ill have to purchase an unlock code
[Sony Xperia M] stamatis:
Probably yes, i don't know any free way to do it in our device...

Is it possible to change the default white in KitKat to holo blue? Is there a rom for this?

(Holo blue meaning in status bar, notification panel, settings, when selecting an option etc.)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I used GravityBox to change my status bar icons to holo blue. Everything else is still white but it helps.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevelationOmega:
You have to go through the Android Development/Original Development pages to see which ROMs offer this and what features you are looking for (other then Holo Blue). There is no one ROM better tehn another, just preference for individuals. Other than ROM flash, no idea yet on how change unless you edit each file associated with the color.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Root+Xposed+HKTheme Manager+CM11 Holo theme+Holofication Nation apps = complete holo theme.

Or you can use something with the CM theme engine.

[Android Apps and Games] taodan:
I have not tried your app yet but I don't know whether your app has dual temperature (C and F) selection display at the same time or just a single temperature unit (C or F) selection. I think with globalization, people who are traveling for business or leisure will be better off to know both temperature at the same time rather than switching to single unit.
[Android Apps and Games] sylsau:
Hello,

Application lets to switch between Celsius or Farenheit in preferences screen. Display the two values at the same time can be a good idea but it takes place on UI that is already consistent. I'm going to think about :)

Sylvain
[Android Apps and Games] galapagos:
Just checked it out. Firstly, the UI can be better just by using more visually pleasant, modern font. The old typewriter font (courier?) looks really outdated. More importantly, the weather information is really inaccurate. I checked out two cities right next to each other in my country. The yahoo weather has both cities at 15C while your app has one city at 16C and other at 12C. Also checked those cities at accuweather which has the same results as the yahoo's. Don't know why your app shows 16C and 12C (tried refreshing and restarting).
[Android Apps and Games] sylsau:
Hello,

For the fonts, I'm going to check to improve that.

Weather data are provided by OpenWeatherMap project that is a community and free project to provide data weather API. So, I hope data are good and if not (sometimes I think not all the time), I think they will work on to improve quality of the API.

I would find dual temp display useful too, widgets too please. I know makes for a busy widget so there is your challenge.

Also, 1x1 widget please with weather icon, Celsius and Fahrenheit and anything else you can squeeze into a 1x1. I like all my useful apps on one screen and this is hard to do when one hogs the screen. I'll check this app out when I see 1x1 widget is available.

[Android Apps and Games] ewa12321:
Interesting features, my suggestion is to make nicer UI. I write honestly. This one looks like made before year 2000 for Java Sony Ericsson phones. Our phones have better bigger beautiful screens why use/make apps with such bad UI? See how beautiful apps UI has iPhone. Seek inspiration there.

[Android Apps and Games] sylsau:
Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

Indeed, I'm thinking about new UI more modern and more clean but I have not idea for the moment. Do you have some samples for me ?

Sylvain
[Android Apps and Games] ewa12321:
Hmm... When I create widgets for zopper I search in Google for inspiration. Mostly iPhone weather apps (search something like: best designed iPhone Apps of 2013 for inspiration) or skins for Winterboard (dbar iPhone themes were awesome ) . I suggest removal of gradients, nicer color scheme (there was really nice color scheme app but I can't remember name, I think it was Color Scheme Studio they have great website with color schemes) , more modern font.

I bought an HTC Sensation with Android 4.4.2 installed and have had nothing but problems with the phone. The screen will lock up at any given moment. When I tried to use the front camera I received a message say unfortunately the camera has stopped working, I rebooted and now when I click on the camera icon, I get the same message so now the camera does not work at all. I keep receiving a message saying that there is a ROM update available but when I click on download update, it never downloads. Do I have to downgrade from 4.4.2 to something more stable to get this phone to function normally? Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] JJeamy:
firstly what the state of your phone bootloader..?, is that already unlocked or s-off..?, n what recovery do you had..?

you can go to bootloader with pressing vol down+power then select recovery from there..then you can flashing a new rom..

just try flashing this rom from recovery

hope this help..

yap...you must flashing new rom that are more stable..

you just need go to your recovery...n wipe /factory data..then flashing the rom.zip from the link that i've give it to you above..then your phone will be back to normal again.. ;)

hope this help..
[HTC Sensation] IT_Specialist:
Thanks JJeamy, I have flashed the ROM and everything is working great! I'll be testing it out for a few days and let you know if it remains stable.

Thanks again for your help! :)

don't forget to flash compass fix n camera in 2nd post in that thread too if you had problem with it.. :)
[HTC Sensation] IT_Specialist:
I have not had any problems with the camera but I'll flash it with that fix anyways. Do you know if there is a Torch App for this version of Android?

Thanks again JJeamy!
[HTC Sensation] JJeamy:
you don't needed installing 3rd party torch app again in this rom...because this rom is already had flashlight app on it..just look at the top of pull bar..you will see at quick toolbar beside rotation and brightness option..or you can find it Flashlight in Tools folder at apps drawer..
[HTC Sensation] IT_Specialist:
Yes, I found it before you sent the reply. I do have a question still, since I have flashed to Venom I don't have the TWRP anymore. How do I flash the ROM or install, I don't see an MMC anymore. Before I could press the power and Volume down button at the same time and that would boot into TWRP from there I could flash, install, backup, restore, wipe and all kinds of functions. Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] JJeamy:
what do you mean you don't have TWRP again...?

you can still go to bootloader and select recovery from there to go into TWRP again...but offcourse because you using ROM with sense UI.. firstly you must disable Fast boot mode from Settings>Power>[uncheck Fast boot]
[HTC Sensation] IT_Specialist:
Okay, thanks. Now I can backup the phone and flash that compass fix.
[HTC Sensation] IT_Specialist:
It's okay now, after I disabled the Fast Boot i was able to access the TWRP. This ROM is working 100% better than the other one, thanks for for all your help!

Hi,

I have a N4 running 4.4.2 with a 16 GB storage capacity, which normally appears as about 12 GB after system usage. This morning however I got a notification saying I was running out of space, and the system storage screen shows me that I only have about 6 GB of space. Upon installing and giving root access to the Storage Analyser it recognized all my storage, but to non-rooted apps it appears to have been cut in half. Has anyone seen this before and/or have advice on how to fix it?

There are no root methods I know of that automagically install CWM or any other custom recovery. If all you do is root, all you'll have is root. :)

Also, in the future, if you post a topic in the Q&A forum and either don't get a response or don't get the response you want, you should refrain from reposting it in another forum.

This one does not involve flashing any custom recovery prior to rooting:

Some developers have also released some pre-rooted roms which do not need to modify the stock recovery..

You may spend some time searching for different methods.

Use the CWM method and after the phone is rooted, you can install back the stock recovery.

Everyone knows that feeling when someone asks to use your phone but you’re scared they’ll go through your phone’s content. Once you give them your phone, they are able to go through everything important to you, including your messages, your photos and emails. Imagine yourself jogging and a child comes up to you and asks to use your phone so that they can find their mother. You give them your phone, and after they call their mother they go through your photos. This is obviously a privacy concern, and it’s a wonder why there isn’t a way to avoid this. Modern day computers have a feature so that when someone asks to use your computer, they can’t go through your personal files, they’re all hidden. You would think that with the way technology is advancing in this day and age, smartphones would have this feature also. That’s why Obstructer was developed, to offer a solution to this problem.

When you first open Obstructer, it prompts you to set it as the default launcher. This is to ensure that the home button is disabled. The user is locked into the app and nothing is accessible, besides the calling feature, of course. When that person is finished with their call, a password prompt opens. When the correct password is entered (“1234” is the default), Obstructer is disabled and your phone is returned back to normal. It is a simple app to use, but helpful in a lot of ways. The free version includes all of these features, and the paid version adds a messaging feature, so that someone can send a message to someone without being able to see your messages. A photo feature is coming soon, so that you’ll be able to show someone one photo without them being able to scroll through your whole photo gallery.

Features​

• Simple dialer app that hides the notification bar, recent apps and disables the back button.​

• Password protected so that the user is locked into the app (“1234” is the default).​

• Small footprint​

•	Full version adds:​

o	Private messaging service so that your messages cannot be seen.​

o	Ad free experience.​

o	Coming soon: Photo viewer so that only one photo can be seen.​

Because I use the S-View cover what I do is close it and open it again and what is actually does is wake the screen. Seems like a "wake screen" bug to me, and I don't think that the proximity sensor in the settings menu can help with that, it probably works only with stock dialer and not always with third party apps like Viber. So I don't know if you try to press the power once in order to close the black screen and then open it again if it helps.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbstractDuc:
After I restarted my Nexus 5 (Kitkat 4.4.2) phone after a flight yesterday, it only starts in "Safe Mode."

On the boot screen, I cannot select any other option by hitting "volume down" button (default selection is 1st in the list). Also, once the phone starts, the "volume down" button doesn't work. Therefore, I am thinking my "volume up" button is stuck. Which explains why the phone doesn't start in normal mode and gives me the boot screen (On/off switch with volume-up button).

To my surprise, once my phone starts I noticed following behavior.

(1) Pressed volume up button. On screen volume slider shows up and volume goes to max.

(2) I decreased the volume via "on screen" slider (

not

through volume down button).

(3) If volume up button was "stuck," as I thought, as soon as I let go the slider on the screen, volume should start increasing again.

But it doesn't

. Therefore, I am guessing, it might not be a button hardware issue.

Note: I tried the aforementioned three steps with my wife's Nexus 5 and on Nexus 7 by continuously holding down the volume up button. In step-3, as I expect, volume does start going up, as soon as I release the slider on screen.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you very much.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevelationOmega:
I would test this by (backing up ROM first) flashing another ROM (maybe stock based) and test to see if issue persists. If not problem anymore, then it was ROM/software issue, try reflashing stock/ROM currently on to fix issue. If you flash and problem persists, then probably a hardware issue that may have to be returned for exchange through Google.
