[Sprint HTC One (M7)] akuentzler:
Are you at least satisfied w/ the repair work? Is it worth it to battle them while they have my phone, or should I just get it back ASAP. I too am tired of using my backup Nexus S.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] nauticus25:
I've only had the phone back for a full day, so I don't have a long term opinion yet about the quality of the repair, but the camera does not exhibit the purple tint anymore. Absolutely no documentation was included in the box, so I have no record of what they did. I'm not surprised. Honestly, if I had known what a hassle it was going to be, I would have just swapped it via insurance (3rd party, not Sprint's) and taken my chances. The two guys I talked to were very accusatory in tone and kept asking what OS I had loaded on the phone. I'm assuming they meant ROM, but they specifically said "OS", as if you can load something other than Android? I only had stock Sprint ROMs on there, but must have missed something when relocking the device that pissed them off. It's like they were reading from the script "How to lose a customer".
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] onefasttreopro:
I'm actually shocked to hear so many people having issues with reps on their repairs... I've done 2 (one for camera, other for speakers) and each time it went pretty smoothly besides slight delay for "warranty voiding damage to case" which halted speaker repair by 3 days which was quickly straightened out by RMA dept following day...im personally fully stock and it seems like unlocked bootloaders/changed roms are a biggie that is basically just a hold up til it's explained/resolved...I know it's a pain but at same time users ARE warned about warranty voiding because of it...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] akuentzler:
I used the HTC dev website to unlock it, and the verbiage there is vague in my opinion, or maybe I'm just biased and I'm reading it to my favor. But it does not explicitly say that unlocking your device voids the warranty, it says "It is our responsibility to caution you that not all claims resulting or caused by or from the unlocking of the bootloader may be covered under warranty." To me this means that unlocking the bootloader may have a negative effect on your phone, and that negative effect may not be covered under warranty. This does not say that by unlocking your bootloader, you are absolutely 100% voiding your warranty. The camera issue is not caused by unlocking the bootloader, therefore, it should be covered.

Am I being naive about this?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] nauticus25:
That is exactly how I read it. The wording is vague, and the actual warranty makes no mention of it whatsoever. And regardless, this is not a bootloader issue or even a software issue. It's a hardware defect. But in my conversations with the HTC reps, they were treating me as if I had physically disassembled the phone, dragged a screwdriver across the circuit board a few times, then taped it all back together and claimed it was their fault. That was bad enough, but the fact that every interaction took several days for them to do anything just really put me over the top. The last guy I talked to tried to claim that they only had the phone a week, but when I walked him through every the timeline of every interaction that I had logged, he mumbled "oh, yeah, well some of those notes are in another system that I can't see". Ugh.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] onefasttreopro:
Yea I see your guys' point....it kinda IS vague about the whole unlocking bootloader and warranty void etc etc...

I think it's a tech in repair center getting a bit too overzealous about who caused the problem...especially since it's been clearly stated and documented within HTC that the issues are hardware failures...

I guess to prevent future denials we just have to do our part in locking back up so the repair and reset/reflash (standard protocol) can be done without any additional hold ups.

The repair techs basically just have a couple options for describing reasons why warranty is voided so that's when we need to have issue escalated to a tier 2 RMA rep who works one on one with each customer/repair dispute (i personally had whole case replaced for nick on edge which tech said voided warranty for "abuse by device owner". The rma rep took care of me and prevented future denials because of his support.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] akuentzler:
Well I just got off the phone with a very reasonable RMA agent at HTC. I'll just say that he took good care of me, but I know now to never send my phone in S-off. It seems that S-Off was the main hurdle with this whole situation. I'll take some blame for sending my phone in S-Off. I was not careful enough when trying to reset my phone to stock. Anyway, if you are reading this, agent who helped me who has the same name as me, Thank you!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] nauticus25:
That turned out to be my problem as well. And that would have been fine with me if we had gotten to that point when they first received the phone. But the way HTC dragged their heels with my case was completely unacceptable. The phone was physically at their facility for 17 days before they reluctantly started the repair. To his credit, the agent I spoke with did eventually authorize the repair, but he made it seem like he was doing me a huge favor and did not acknowledge that that length of time it had taken to get to that point was unusual. His name started with the same letter as your user name, so it may have been the same guy.

Now that I've used the camera a bit with the stock camera app, I'm noticing that the white balance is off in fluorescent lighting. If I manually set the white balance to fluorescent, it looks fine, but in auto, the photos come out with a greenish tint. Ugh.

I nucked up BIG time.

I had xxuamdk 4.2.2 i somehow* managed to upgrade from kies. now i have xxuemj8 4.3 BUT no network connection my imei has not changed at all. I tried upgrading radio via odin but no luck lots of radios didn't even worked. workking ones cannot registered on network. i tried installing other roms and no luck.

BUT something is fishy in here. when my phone says not registered on network. i tried calling myself from land line i got ring tone. but there isnt any action om my galaxy. when i turn on airplane mode i got carriers unreachable message.

*there is stupidity. i still cannot believe myself WHY I DID IT. I didn't even back up my efs.

So i don't know how to deal with it. What should i do???
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
Download latest stock 4.3 firmware from Sammobile and flash in PDA section of Odin.

that may fix it.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [SP]JESTER:
i had this happen to my cspire phone today. It wont get past activation right?? Mine would try to activate on first one and go to different carrier like verizon, 2nd one just wouldnt activate at all. It acts like the modem is wrong but the sim card app's will tell you that its fully functional as does the settings menu, its just stuck in ROAMING mode.. I went through 2 of them this morning, My 2nd would keep trying to activate and then say no sim and crash out, so odin it back to samsung official status and go claim your warranty and don't touch it again. I did both with the knox 0x1 and far as i know that doesn't hold anything against your hardware warranty. Company should approve it as long as you have their original software back on there in the locked state.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbugra:
thanks for your advice dude but i couldn't care less about warranty i have friend work in there but i dont have time to go there and i cant be away my phone for my job for more than 1 hour. even right now i have wifi hot spot to use my phone. i have to fix it or i will have to buy a new one.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
OK try this.

Flash a custom recovery, Philz is my recommendation.

Boot to recovery (hold volume up +power)

Them in recovery menu go to mounts and storage and format System, cache, data, pre load.

Now flash stock ROM again and keep fingers crossed.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [SP]JESTER:
Just telling you man the carrier couldnt even fix mine with their forced data fix from their system. The phone gets screwed up and not even odin can bring it back. You can get someone to pull your modem from their rom and try to flash over but it will fail. Once its there its like it cant untake it. I returned 2 by warranty today, im done with messing with this pos phone if thats all its going to do for me. But go in the store tell them the sim card went bad, they will piddle with it and try another card and it will do same crap, then they will finally break down and offer u a warranty phone. Mine were FREE!! You said you cant be away from the phone for more than 1 hour, well at this rate NOTHING is coming through your device at this point?? So your hotspot does nothing if the phone doesn't have a data connection? Mine would get stuck with the roaming triangle, you could do 611 and hang up and 4g would come on but then go away again. If thats the case you'd save time and hassle by just taking it in with official a odin full restore flash on it.

guys I'm really confused which to buy HTC One 801e one sim or 802w dual sim i heard many good/bad reviews about both? help me to decide plz
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
if you want to be able to flash many different roms and tweak your phone, better to go with 801e or 801n would be better (lte suuport)

if you want dual sim and micro sd card then 802w, but there is not much development for this model. I think only 2 roms atm

and probably your thread will be closed soon because no phone comparison thread are allowed.

[General Questions and Answers] AndroidBorph:
I would like to enlarge the data partition of my Samsung S2 I9100, and there is a good thread about it here.

It has the command to flash the PIT as

$ heimdall flash --repartition --pit newpit.pit

But heimdall is refusing to flash, I guess because I have to specify all partitions with the same command:

$ heimdall flash --repartition --pit I9100_16GB_6GBdata.pit
Action: flash
Arguments:
--repartition --pit <filename>
--<partition name>|--<partition identifier> <filename> [...]
[--verbose] [--no-reboot] [--stdout-errors] [--delay <ms>]
[--usb-log-level <none/error/warning/debug>]
or:
--<partition name>|--<partition identifier> <filename> [...]
[--pit <filename>]
[--verbose] [--no-reboot] [--stdout-errors] [--delay <ms>]
[--usb-log-level <none/error/warning/debug>]
Description: Flashes one or more firmware files to your phone. Partition names
(or identifiers) can be obtained by executing the print-pit action.
WARNING: If you're repartitioning it's strongly recommended you specify
all files at your disposal.

It's heimdall 1.4.0. Is it not possible anymore to flash just the PIT?

P.s.: Of course it is dangerous, I know, I diffed old and new PIT file and only the data and ums partitions seem to change.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dclarsen:
Hey folks. I recently borked my Verizon G2. I was running a CM11 nightly, decided to try out Mahdi ROM, but apparently something went wrong. Everything flashed just fine according to TWRP, but now I can't boot up. When I turn on the phone I get a black screen with small text that says

[660] Fastboot mode started
[710] udc_start()

if I plug the phone in to my PC from that screen, it adds

[870] -reset-
[880] - portchange-
[3720] fastboot: processing commands

When I enter download mode and plug the phone into my PC, it shows a screen that says "Firmware update" with a standard "do not unplug" warning, then there is a box at the bottom that says "B53" in gray text, and "ROOTED" in red.

I've tried several methods of restoring, but none of them worked for me, and they didn't even seem to have any effect at all. Here are links to the posts I've followed to try to fix it.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leomd333:
If you can boot into recovery, do a FULL wipe, then try to flash back to stock again. The restore to stock fails if you do not wipe your device before hand. Also, you don't need to use any special method to flash back to stock, just install kg's usb driver form their site, then install their mobile support tool (again from their site) when the tool opens, go up to the right hand corner and press device recovery or something like that and connect your device in DL mode, then the tool will restore the device back to the stock rom.

I have a locked r800at Xperia Play, and so I'm about to follow along on this thread to unlock the bootloader and install a new rom and all that good stuff:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2187172

But I'm not sure which kernel and which rom I should use. Here's what I'm looking for:

1. Stability. This is most essential.

2. More space on the built-in storage. It has been a royal pain to put up with the storage constraints on the stock Play!

3. Performance, of course. I'd like a bit of a bump up in gaming performance, but preferrably nothing that will appreciably decrease the lifespan of the device.

4. It'd be better if it was something that did not come with any Google software pre-installed.

I tend to have a leaning toward Cyanogenmod. Does it work well on the Play (in particular, ones that require Testpoint unlocking)?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] penser:
Does using it require an unlocked bootloader, and will it unlock the bootloader in the process?

Trying to help my friend root so he can back everything up, then unlock his bootloader.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
For T999, if its on 4.2.1 or prior version of Android, then the bootloader is unlocked. If its on 4.3, the bootloader is locked and there is absolutely no known way to unlock it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] penser:
And that would mean there's no way to root on 4.3 if my friend is already there, correct?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Hmmm.............. Well, not quiet. But the problem is, you may trip that dreaded warranty bit. Visit the Root66 Thread and flash that image UVUEMJC.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] penser:
Would flashing the 4.3 from that thread lock the bootloader? I don't think it will, but just want to be safe.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Since the phone is already locked, that Rom won't re-lock it. It won't unlock either. That's why I recommended that Rom (UVUEMJC). If you tried prior Root66 roms, you will brick the phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] penser:
His phone is on 4.1.2 so the bootloader should be unlocked. If he were to flash the Root66 4.3 would it lock the bootloader?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Do not flash the root66.. instead flash a custom recovery with Odin and then flash a stock rom and update modem if you're gonna flash 4.3.. that is the safest to do it if your friend cares about warranty.. you can still flash the root66 and it will be rooted but it may trip the warranty bit, I'm not too sure
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
+1 to ^^^^^^.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] penser:
I'm fairly sure his warranty is up unless it's lifetime, because he's had it for 2 years. Either way, I was just checking in case he decided to, I think he just wants to root 4.1.2 and stick with that for now.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
OK then just use cf auto root.. It even works with 4.3 so no need to worry about bootloaders or anything

I guess I probably need Samsung Galaxy Grand OS running on Sony Xperia Z.

I have told him that Sony Xperia Z is superior to Samsung Galaxy Grand OS in terms of security and user interface and features. But, He is kinda fallen in love with the Samsung Galaxy Grand Interface.

Is it possible to put an original ROM from Samsung Galaxy Grand OS.

I guess I would first need to root Sony Xperia Z and then probably take a Nandroid backup and probably put a custom boot loader in case something goes wrong I can bring it back.
