[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sony732:
I'm not really a newbie, but haven't really had an android in my hands for a while and EVERYTHING IS SO DIFFERENT!!!! I have a gs3 (sch-s968c) which is the galaxy s3 available from straight talk. I wanted to reserve power and take out all the bloatware, so I attempted to root it, using Odin. I tried it 7 times so far and it has not been successful. Now when I enter recovery mode I keep getting a screen that says:

odin mode

product name:sch-s968c

custom Binary download: yes (7 counts)

current binary: Custom

system status: official

qualcomm secureboot: enable

followed by: "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again"

Here's the issues: I did not ensure that I had the correct drivers and didn't have kies set up (new to kies). I can not find drivers for this exact model, and the computer is not recognizing my phone when it's plugged in (no opportunity to explore phone files)

Right now I have the sd card out (it came from a sorry explanation for a droid from straight talk (lg optimus, I think). I can still get into download mode.

HELP PLEASE!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hnkotnis:
If you want help in installing drivers then first download and install Kies.Then search Google for Samsung USB Drivers. Drivers are same for all Samsung phones.So download and install them.That's it. Before using Odin, kill all kies related processes from task manager and start Odin.

Using CWM........Busybox Commands........No I use my hands :D

i found in internet the original zip file for Lenovo Ideatab A1000F and a recovery image with twrp v2,i didn't flash it yet,but,my question is : can u all out there,the developers,can use any of those files to make custom roms for this device ? i have actually no idea about making custom roms,but if all those files even with the trwp posibility to be installed on this device,might be able for 1 of u to make something more interesting this device too ?

If any,just write me back and i can send all those 2 zip files in case u can use it for that
[LG Optimus 4X HD] evaderxx:
So I did some research on the xda forums about relocking the bootloader on the p880 and it seems like it is impossible.

My problem is, that under my screen there is an growing amount of dust, which really bothers me especially when I'm outside and the sun is shining on the display.

I would still have about 1 year of warrantiy left if i hadn't unlocked my bootloader, since it is impossible to relock again myquestion is if there is any way to change the text, that is displayed in S/W upgrade mode from "Bootloader: unlocked" to "bootloader: locked" so it would at least appear to be locked, when I send it in for repairs.

Thank you in advance!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] tuncay_93:
They can't tell you unlocking bootloader makes dust under the screen but it depends on the terms of your warranty. In some regions warranty still works after unlocking since they can't prove that you done any demage to the device. First read your terms maybe you are lucky :good:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] evaderxx:
Thanks, but unfortunatly the terms say, that bootloader unlocking voids the warranty, I'm from Germany by the way...

"is there any way to change the text, that is displayed in S/W upgrade mode from "Bootloader: unlocked" to "bootloader: locked" so it would at least appear to be locked, when I send it in for repairs."

does anybody have a solution for this?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] adryyy:
You can try to flash the stock 4.0 rom (v10).

After this, try to update to v20 and see if it's work. Check if "bootloader: locked" on v10 also .
[LG Optimus 4X HD] balloon27:
If you're from Germany, the unlocked bootloader shouldn't be a problem. I believe that European laws state that the warranty of electronics can't be voided by a change of software as long as that change didn't lead to the defect. In the case of dust under your screen, they probably won't even check your bootloader.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] amkirk94:
There's already a thread about your issue here

I believe that flashing an ICS firmware should at least "camouflage" your unlocked bootloader :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] evaderxx:
Just in case, anybody ever needs this information: there is indeed a paragrahp in the european laws, that states that the seller always has to give you 2 years of warranty, even if you change the software, as long as you can prove that the error didnt result from that action.

I bought my phone from amazon.de so I will contact them in the next couple of days and I will report back here to tell you about the results!

Thanks for the help!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] evaderxx:
So my phone returned today. They fixed it without any problems, BUT they somehow relocked the bootloader, now it is impossible for me to open it again, as I always get a small red Text in the upper left hand corner that reads "LG SECURITY unlock permission denied"

I've been searching for a solution all day, but I found nothing :b
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
lg support has a habit of doing that. it may be permanently locked
[LG Optimus 4X HD] evaderxx:
It wasn't sent to LG it was sent to Amazon, and from there to W-Support, a german repair center thing.

I wonder how they managed to permanently lock it...also they messed up my display (there is some kind of white stuff under there :b)

an a part auf the plastic that surrounds the handy is broken, so I will send in in again and if I'm lucky i will get my Money back, because they hat the oppurtunity to fix the error 2 Times and they screwed up both times, so I now have the option to get my money back :b
[LG Optimus 4X HD] UsernameWasTaken:
I do believe that the Tegra 3 SOC has PROM guarded by a series of fuses. Contrary to EPROM and EEPROM, PROM can be changed only once. So, by unlocking the bootloader, there is no way to change it back. Unlocked bootloader stays like that forever. They can only replace the whole SOC to reverse the situation, but thats like putting another screen in an old TV - it's not the same on that came with the phone - the old one is still unlocked.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] evaderxx:
Thats what I wrote them, because I didn't want anything but the screen replaced and they didn't notify me in any way that my bootloader will be permanently locked, because if it really is permanently locked the handy is worthless for me. I would rather shoot myself than sticking with the stock Firmware :D
[LG Optimus 4X HD] UsernameWasTaken:
No, it cannot be relocked. Physically impossible.

It can only be "relocked" by replacing the whole Tegra 3 SOC inside the phone and I'm pretty sure they don't do that anywhere. Besides, if they were to do that, it means you get another brand new, unlockable bootloader to unlock using the same procedure as the last time :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] evaderxx:
But i tried every possible way to unlock the bootloader again, and the tool from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2263627

gave me the error: all fuses blown, bootloader permanently locked

all the other ways of unlocking just gave me the error "LG SECURITY unlock permission denied" no matter whoch one I used. I even tried EU-Open Firmware, and the german one
[LG Optimus 4X HD] UsernameWasTaken:
Did you actually try to flash a ROM or did you just probe the bootloader for unlocking?

Second, try the official way of unlocking.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] evaderxx:
I used every way of unlocking that I could find, after each try i checked the bootloader state in hidden menu and every time it read: LOCK

the I redid every way with the EU-OPEN .kdz but still no results

btw. the official way was the first one that I tried :D
[LG Optimus 4X HD] UsernameWasTaken:
So, you didn't try to flash any ROM other than official LGs'?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Adam77Root:
[MENTION=5370449]UsernameWasTaken[/MENTION]: It's true that you can't change burned bits in fuses. That's why our device is designed to use more bits for bootloader unlock checking and if all fuses are burnt, it means a locked state. So basically it can't be unlocked again as far as we know at the moment.

Sent from my OmniROM-powered LG Optimus 4X HD
[LG Optimus 4X HD] UsernameWasTaken:
[MENTION=4719724]Adam77Root[/MENTION], yes, I've been reading upon this, but didn't realize that blowing all fuses locks the bl. I thought it meant blowing them with incorrect bits. This description is a little too technical and convoluted for an average reader, plus the writing style and language don't help one bit to easily understand what's going on.

So, presumably, one's phone's bootloader can and probably will be permanently locked by the repairmen, no matter if the owner messes with unlocking or not? They blow the fuses as standard procedure during repair, correct? Yet another d*ck move by nVidia.

As I understand it, there is a total of 16 fuses and all can be blown one at a time using this future81's method. Each separate fuse's current state defines whether the BL is locked/unlocked, or is it a combination of them?

All in all, I would guess that following the official unlocking method is a poorer choice than using future81's Unlock.apk, as long as there is no need to RMA the phone.

OP, I'm sorry they messed up your phone. If you can, replace or return it.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Adam77Root:
Main point is that you have 16 chances to change lock state, but once all fuses are blown, it remains in a locked state that can't be altered.

I don't think they blow the fuses always, but only if the BL has been unlocked. Maybe they want to punish users for being curious and messing with lock state.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] JoinTheRealms:
Purposefully burning fuses seems malicious tbh, and would make this phone completely useless to me. Maybe we can find a kexec exploit like kholk done on some devices.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Adam77Root:
That's what I wanted to do. I had no intention to unlock the BL in the beginning. Unfortunately, kexec-hardboot (which I thought would work out of the box and it proved that it does) needs the host kernel to be changed for using it as a second layer of booting. This was a no-go of course. Problem with original kexec method is that it needs to reset the device to a somewhat clean state. This is usually done in driver unloading code, but most of these functions are not at all or not properly implemented in the code. :mad:

Official unlocking method is screwed up as well. I still didn't want to unlock BL, but tried 'adb reboot bootloader' (note: not 'oem-unlock'). What did it do? It didn't ask me anything, just wiped my data (!) and unlocked the BL. I'm not at all surprised by this behaviour. :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] UsernameWasTaken:
I agree with the above, but don't think they do it out of malice, just a standard operation during repairs. Like they update the firmware no matter what.

So, which is better for fuses: "don't blow all of them" future81's Update.apk method OR the LG's "oem-unlock" official?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
both are the same, the only one that blows all the fuses from what i've read is the "echo odm_reserved" one.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] UsernameWasTaken:
Thank you
[LG Optimus 4X HD] evaderxx:
Thanks for all the advice and help! I really didn't expect such a feedback, you are awsome guys :D

Anyways I will send my phone back and in return I will get back all the money I spent on it.

I'm kind of sad because I really liked this phone, but it handy dust under the screen and when it returned from repairs it was broken again :b

I really can't recommend this phone to anybody, just beacuse of the dust problem, that a lot of people seem to have and beacuse of the not relockable bootloader which apparently gets permanently relocked when you send it in for repairs, which render the phone useless beacause of LG's crappy jellybean update.

I really have NO idea whch phone I could buy, as I really wan't removable battery and an SD-card slot, the Galaxy s4 is no option because of it's screengate problem :b If anybody has an idea which handy I should buy, I'd be glad if you'd share it with me :D
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
G2 korean version ;p
[LG Optimus 4X HD] UsernameWasTaken:
This is quite a difficult question to answer at present. I, too, require a removable battery and an mSD slot, among other things, but nearly no phone meets my demands at a sensible price range. That's why I've opted to get a fat battery instead of replacing P880 with some other, much more expensive model.

I would probably get GS3 under condition that it isn't overproced.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] evaderxx:
I decided to get the Nexus 5, as it seems to offer the most in hardware you can get atm, while having a reasonable price

399 euros for the 32 GB version is a fair price :)

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rinneh:
Recently i received my Xperia Z1C White. After some careful checking (that happens when you are a techy) i noticed that the frame bends slightly inwards at the back side. I made a small example of what i mean on a photo. The problem is. If you can press those parts of the frame inwards, what happens with the waterproof seal between that part of the frame and the plastic bezel on top of this? Is this the case with every Xperia Z1C or is this a rare problem?

I suspect this also is the reason why you can hear a sound while pressing the screen slightly.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigmille:
Same on my phone, but only the charging port side, and my phone squeaks too.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirRobin78:
Me too - i can also press the frame inward. Oh my god, i´m a bit confused now...lets hope everything is ok and water is no problem for that...

*EDIT* But i have to say that this also is an issue to find on my Z1 !
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2fuss50:
Had a bit of convex shape on the back, barely noticeable. Hairdryer and pressing did the trick.

And no, don't be too harsh to the phone.

Glue seems to be unequally applicated.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikm19:
I don't know why, but it doesn't seems any problem with my white phone.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rinneh:
I wonder hwo wide spread or problematic this is. On a normal phone this wouldnt be a problem at all. But on a waterproof phone every error can be a problem.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hejnfelt:
Mine seems to have the same microscopic gap on the back around the docking port.

I dunked it in a bowl of water and let it sit for 5 minutes. Took it out, dried it off - no problems.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkimmortal:
The back of mine flexes when pressed hard in the center, but there are no gaps at the edges (even when pressed)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slvrarrow:
Is this something they'd accept a warranty replacement for? Where do you go about requesting such?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rinneh:
I think no warranty on this, they will probably consider it normal.

The problem with high precision designed devices like this and iphones is, that if something is a bit off you notice it easier.

I do regret it a bit that i didnt exchange it within the 7 days that it is possible to exchange a product after buying it in holland. But if it is widespread, then the case of a phone without the flexing frame/misaligned frame would be very small.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hejnfelt:
For anyone worried about the waterproof nature of their device, the only thing I can say is - test it. If the product works as intended you're golden. If not, you're covered by warranty.

I'm avid photographer and diver and with all new waterproof equipment, the first thing I do is test their waterproofing by either dunking them in the tub or the sink full of water.

You've bought a device with a capability which you should be able to trust. No need to find out 1 year later when you drop it in the toilet that your device is faulty.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhaha:
Same here, only a small gap around docking port that can be ever so slightly pressed in under higher-than-normal pressure, never noticed it in every day handling.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WasherUK:
Mine keeps pulling hairs out of my beard!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasK:
I believe there's a sensor-like surface when you open up one of the flaps (the micro-USB one I think). It's a small white square and it turns red when in contact with water.

This is how the service centres know that you are complying to proper usage. So do be careful not to get the internals wet :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WasherUK:
That would make sense
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rinneh:
I have exchanged mine, still a little flex around the charging port but the back is definitely more flush. No small gap and less cracking noise when pressing the back as well. Very content with the built quality of this phone now.

I soft bricked, and I'm trying to fix it with Odin EL29. It fails:

I tried this a few times, and it always seemed to get stuck for absurdly long at the:

phase. What's going on? Is this soft brick actually a hard brick?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
It's not a hard brick until you get the blue light of death (solid blue light, black screen, no recovery or download mode). Try one of the other one clicks or redownloading the EL29 one. Sounds like it could just be a bad download or your file got corrupted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DanHakimi:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DanHakimi:
You mean, leave it out, then flash the new recovery, or just leave it out then turn it back on and voila?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riggerman0421:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:

Alright, I'll try that now.

To be clear -- this is JB, so it comes with a JB modem, right? I was going to install Villuminati, which apparently doesn't work with JB modems, so, to do that, I'll probably have to flash an ICS modem first, right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Yes. But right now that doesn't matter.

Please post your battery drain charts here to compare on 4.3.

:(I am facing battery drain issue from the day i installed some custom roms and i changed back to stock from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 to 4.3 latest I9300XXUGMK7.

I am rooted, installed facebook , whatsapp , and some photo apps & games too.

hardly i used it for a 2d game for 7 mins, and you can see battery stats in photos.

Is it something left that Odin does not flashes??? or the screen takes too much battery (im on auto +5 always)

I Pasted EFS partition Data 2 times between custom roms because of imei error on some roms including going back to stock rom.

I see some high ones : chrome taking 10% , android system 10%, Screen 39% and rest are low.

I checked with wakelock detector that facebook is waked device for 175 times. but not showing major in battery status.

I checked my cell standby overnight after charging without using, its 5% in 10 hours.

I have another s3 stock battery dated 2013 and my was from 2012 dec. On both batteries the drain remains same.

Can someone provide me any solution?

Hardly i used mobile screen for 2 hours total.

I'm a power user and understand everything abt android.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amirTor:
First, MK7 build doesn't considered the lastest available (which is NA7).

Second, there are some reports on noticed battery drain in stock MK7, so your use case matches the overall average with this build.

Solutions:

1- (If from some reason, you prefer to stay with this stock build): Use greenify in order to hibernate unwanted apps, disable Sync, make sure that wifi isn't on 'always scan' mode and disable location services.

2- flash newest NA7 build.

3- Use custom rom (the newest Sammy's Neatrom is just awesome), and if you don't like what you get- use adjustable kernels (such as Boeffla) to suit your needs
