Sorry, I meant that it says unauthorized software, and it has the yellow triangle. I've tried reflashing the root66 file, which is the only thing that actually "PASS"'s in ODIN, whilst everything else consistently fails.

Since then, I've followed this tutorial (Specifically section 5)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1762709

And downloaded that "VRALG1 4.0 ICS-http://www.mediafire.com/download/kk...w_ship.tar.zip" file that was recommended, and after trying to flash it in the PDA box of ODIN (With auto-reboot and F. Reset Time checked), it FAIL's.

After looking at the screen with download mode still on, right after the above file failed in ODIN, it reads:

_______________________________

ODIN MODE

Product Name: SCH-I535

Custom Binary Download: Yes (3 counts)

Current Binary: Samsung Official

System Status: Custom

Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable

Warranty Bit: 0

Bootloader AP SWREV: 1

SW Rev Check Fail : Fused 1 > Binary 0 **(This part I believe was added after the FAIL of trying to flash the VRALG1 4.0 ICS file.)

_______________________________

So far, the only file I've been able to successfully flash in ODIN is the stock.vzw_root66 file. Everything else constantly FAILs. Thanks for the ongoing help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BattsNotIncld:
I'm pretty sure those download mode stats you have are from the new bootloader. When you said this:

... I'm thinking you flashed a stock 4.3 ROM in ODIN and therefore locked your bootloader. This would also explain the yellow triangle when trying to flash root 66 afterwards. If I am correct, the good news is all you have to do is flash a stock 4.3 ROM to get back up and running. The bad news is you re-locked your bootloader and are stuck with TouchWiz.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CurtisAndroid5:
Hello,

Looking to upgrade my Huawei Ascend P1 come September (A while away I'm aware but I'm pricing around now) and the only devices that have caught my eye are the Nexus, LG G2 and the iPhone 5s. I'm disregarding the iPhone though as out of the 3 devices I'd much prefer Android.

Basically, price won't be an issue as I'll be getting it on contract (They're both £32 a month on Three for the plan I want so it's fine) but I genuinely can't decide between them.

The two devices seem pretty much the same except the LG G2 has a better camera and larger capacity battery so I'm stumped. Any idea which one is better as an all rounder?

ALTERNATIVELY, if anyone has a recommendation of another device feel free to let me know!

Cheers

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Brooklyn11218:
So I dropped my screen a few months back and the glass cracked. It still worked $100 percent and since the glass wasn't shattered it didn't prevent me from using it. It was only annoying me so i decided to order a new glass and replace the glass. During this replacement I completely ****ed the phone up.

From what I understand there are 3 separate pieces, the LCD, the touchscreen digitizer, and the glass itself. I was supposed to pull the glass apart from the digitizer but instead pulled both up leaving only the lcd behind. In the process I completely shattered both glass and digitizer and severed a ribbon cable.

I couldn't link to an imgur album and the images were too large to attach so i put them in a rar file. As you can see in the pictures my new glass is completely transparent and the old broken one has a tint to it, and an extra layer attached. That was how I came to the conclusion it was the digitizer. I have tried to see if I could just replace the digitizer but all the pictures I've seen don't show the cable that I severed. I have no idea what that cable does, only that it was connected to the tinted portion of the glass.

Important to note is that the phone works. I hear it power on and if i get a notification it plays the sound and vibrates no issue. I just can't SEE anything. Does this mean the LCD is broken too? Or will it only power up when it has the digitizer attached? Is this repairable, if so, how? if not, where did I go wrong?

At this moment I am not due for an upgrade til June, and I don't have more than $100 to spend on a replacement so if I can I'd like to fix this one to both save money and not have to downgrade to a lesser phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] avruma:
You can buy a replacement screen with a digitizer attached but it will cost over $100 and the way your phone is now it may not be worth doing yourself. You can get a pro install for around $200. You may want to wait for your upgrade then.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Brooklyn11218:
Yeah I was hoping there was a cheap fix but I screwed myself. I ended up buying one off eBay that has a bad charging port for $100. I'm just going to swap the mobo and I should be good to go.

Sucks I had to spend the money, it was a gift from my brother for a birthday tattoo, butit's a learning experience. If I ever try to tackle a glass replacement again I know what NOT to do.

Today for no reason at all i became unable to make phone calls or text messages. The error message was stating no mobile networks detected, however i'm showing i'm connected to LTE with nearly full signal. When i roam phone calls and text messages work.

I'm rooted, MF9. I was fine yesterday, and no changes have been made.

i'm using philz recovery. I have wiped the phone "prep for new rom" and flashed a fresh stock odex rom and there wasn't any change.

LTE data is working but phone calls and text just won't work.

I am having the same exact issue. Airplane mode toggle fixes it but unless you are trying to make calls or send texts you are unaware of the issue, which poses a problem with receiving calls and texts.

Notification bar shows full service and data, and the data continues to work, but the mobile network is "unavailable" for texts and calls.

I've tried reflashing the firmware (on MK2), updating the PRL and profile as well as reactivating the phone. What else is there to try?

Do anybody actually buy warranties like squaretrade for nexus phones and find it worth it ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It comes with warranty anyway. I don't expect to use it much after warranty expires.

Insurance in the other hand, for me - yes! Accidental damage, theft and loss. Im inlucky so the peace of mind is worth it. Not everyone is the same
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Closingracer:
Well the one I am considering is the squaretade one which doesn't cover loss and theft and while I am covered currently with one of AT&T I am moving to t-mobile because it is cheaper per month and they don't sell insurance on devices you bring with you and in my case the nexus 5 I bought on the play store
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
So you're asking if insurance is worth it? Not warranty (manufacturing defects)... but the insurance doesn't cover loss or theft? What does it cover? Accidental damage only?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffsf:
The "extended warranty" that is sold is one of the highest profit items for a retailer.

Same goes for the "equipment protection plans" or whatever they call them these days.

Figure what the chance of you using the plan/insurance is over the couple of years your phone is worth replacing. Remember that they will probably replace it with a "refurb" and not a new phone. Multiply the chance of you using it by about $200. (A new Nexus is $400, will probably be worth $200 in a year or two, and $100 not long after that.) That $8 a month is about $100 a year. In two years, you could have held onto the cash and, if something happened to your phone, easily bought a replacement yourself, or used the $200 to trade up to your next shiny object.

As pointed out above, even if you do buy it, what does it really cover?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Closingracer:
Covers damage which is what I care about.... $75 deductible is much cheaper then paying $455 after taxes to buy myself another nexus 5(32gb).. Better question is the nexus 5 durable to survive minor drops?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipTD:
Are you sure about that?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Closingracer:

Hi all :D

Before that, I was on CM 10.2 and GAPPS that comes with it, I was able to use the market even though I uninstalled the Google services apk, everything worked just fine.

Maps sometimes said somethin' like "best experience with google services", but it actually did work smoothy...

Now I installed CM11 with new GAPPS, and when I disable Google services, then Play store tells me that it can't run without it, and just closes without letting me download any app.

Is there any way do bypass this check ?

I fight any app running as a service when it's not needed (battery life, data consumsion, privacy), that's why I don't want to have the Google services on my phone.

Hey, I think I've discovered a way to do this. it DOES require google play services to be installed, but you can freeze google play services completely once you install it.

Open terminal emulator and enter this command

pm disable com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.gms.recovery.RecoveryService

and then I think it should let you use the play store.

to undo this in case anything bad happens, just enter

pm enable com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.gms.recovery.RecoveryService

Edit: Never mind. This will let you open the Play Store, but you will not be able to download apps.

If you have CWM Recovery, I'd say it's highly possible to use the side load option with ADB installed on a Windows 7 computer to flash the Rom you need. I've never done it but I know it's possible.

Hi there. I'm kinda new to the forums, but I'm a guy who up until now has just been lurking around and learning all I can about Androids.

It isn't mine, and I just tried it out on some other phones. Just on a whim, I ran it, (after turning on USB debugging on the phone, of course), next connected the USB cable between my PC and my phone, followed the instructions, and it rooted it. I next installed, ran and updated supersu (available on playstore) the phone installed I verified it using rootchecker (also available on playstore). Appears to be a good root!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VaccaThreeSixteen:
Hey,

I've think I've been experiencing some battery drain whilst using my USB OTG cable most of the day.

Here's what I normally use:

- 1 hour of 4G

- Rest of the time on WiFi

- Around 10 mins of light gaming (flappy birds of course! :P )

- NO OTG cable connected

= 6 hours of SOT.

With OTG Cable:

- Almost identical usage

- USB OTG connected 40% of the time (not writing to it, just viewing).

= 5 hours of SOT.

Now, I could either:

- Be being paranoid about my battery life

- Imagining things

- Using my abnormally without realising

- Genuinely have a problem

Just wanted to get other people's answers, to see if this is happening because it uses more of the CPU (or whatever).

I sound like a right wally, but it's worth a try!

I'll try and monitor my battery more tomorrow, to see for myself and get back to you.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Flash memory doesn't use extra power to be readable - unlike a hdd (or an ssd with a controller)...

I'd say there are too many variables on battery use day-to-day that 1 out of 6 hours SoT is an easy margin of error

Maybe if its a massive drive being media scanned, sure you're using CPU there but otherwise, its most likely coincidence
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex240188:
Sure the flash memory doesn't need power to be readable but your not connecting the flash memory directly to the device. There is also the USB controller which does require power.

I'm only saying this thinking back to my one x which had host mode but not otg.

It is essentially otg but needed an external power source as it couldn't take power from the phone.

Flash drives would not work without an external power source so some power is at least needed to use one
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Ok correction, a flash memory stick uses a minute, incalculable amount of power. Same as an sd card. NOT the same as 1 hour of LCD display and NOT drain
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAtheistOtaku:
unless you got a portable hdd hooked up to it via otg usb, that isnt whats causing the battery drain. As said above, flash memory and their readers use so little power that it cant be calculated

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
