[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Osir1s:
Hey all,

Just got my upgraded 3G sim today and essentially im just wondering if im better off leaving it on the GSM band.

Under the GSM band I always seem to have excellent reception under UTMS the bars keep ranging from 2-4. I only got the sim upgrade cos it was free and so I could occasionally utilise the 3G data network, im just wondering though would it be better for battery life if I just manually switched networks when I want to use the 3G features.

What do you think?

Cheers.

Hello , I bought a device LG-LS980 G2 32GB memory from ebay, but unfortunately it is locked to the provider of the country where US and does not work in my country Greece , I tried many times to contact the seller from ebay but I did not have any answer, and I would like if possible from someone who knows and has good mood to give me step by step instructions to unlock, the handset is locked to SPRINT .

I also check out the IMEI of the device delegation of LG in my country if stolen , luckily not ..... well in my country only released version of the device with 16GB memory.

Are the screen replacements the same across all carrier models?
[Moto X Q&A] boss.:
All the Moto X have the same dimensions so. All the models have the same front panel whether it be the dev edition, sprint or us cellular. They are just either white or black so I wouldn't worry about it too much. If your going to replace the front panel however, you might be better off buying the one with the lcd and digitiser already attached. It might get a bit messy otherwise.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] val5906:
Hello,

I've recently got a HTC Desire which is stuck on a white screen with the green HTC logo.

So I've decided to flash the ROM, in order to do this operation I have two choice :

- Flash a custom ROM and so switch the HTC Desire in S-OFF mode

- Flash an official ROM so I'll need to build a GoldCard

Anyway, the phone is really stock, I mean even the Debugging option is not enabled on it ... So I'm stuck because I cannot use all the commands with adb (as adb devices or adb shell ...) but fastboot scripts works, with the commands fastboot getvar all I got that :

I tried to install a new recovery with the command : fastboot flash recovery but I got an error : " Signature failed ..." (maybe it must be S-OFF to do that)

Actually my one and only question is, is there a way to enable USB Debugging in my situation ? Or an other way to flash de ROM with theses conditions ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
U dont need a goldcard if u use the 2.3gb update from htcdev. U can get the ruu from bortaks troubleshooting guide in my sig. Also to s-off u will need ur phone to be booted for it to work. Once used the ruu, use revolutionary to s-off ur phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] val5906:
Actually to update via htcdev, it is required to enable the USB debugging and I can't access to this option.

I follow the link in your sig and I downloaded this RUU :

Is this one correct ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Nope thats froyo ruu, u want 2.3 gingerbread. In bortaks guide, go down to resources and ul see it. Then run the ruu from bootloader. If it dont work then google 2.3gb upgrade as PB99IMG and do it that way.

Edit: 2.3gb PB99IMG link below

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] val5906:
I used the RUU from HTCdev 2.3 and the installation took a very long time at "Updating recovery" then the smartphone turned town (after 5-6 hours ^^) and when I tried to restart it I get 4 (!), one in each corner.

I read on your guide that is a common issue when we installed the wrong RUU. To fix it, you said in your guide to use a goldCard but I don't know if I can build one ...

When I tried to relaunch the upgrade, it works but still stuck at the same point
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Its not my guide :rolleyes: i only suggested the "2.3gb upgrade" because u dont need a goldcard. Read more carefully before jumping into things, things can go very wrong very quick. Anyway the 4 /!\ means ur stuck in ruu mode, so now try the 2.3gb ruu and hope it works
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] val5906:
First, thanks you very much for your help :)

Actually I said I used the wrong RUU but I don't think it was the wrong one because the first one I used wasn't recognize by the phone and this one works but stuck during the upgrading.

I retried to update with the same update and now it's stuck at updating recovery ... (as soon as it was written "updating recovery" my phone vibrated 7 times and became stuck at this position)

Actually, before flashing and doing something on the phone when I tried for the first time to run the recovery from the bootloader the phone did this strange thing (vibrate 7 times) maybe something wrong happened in the hardware stuff.

EDIT : I managed to finish the updraging (100%) but at the end of the updating I got this message from the software img15.hostingpics.net/pics/616271screen.png (can't post n picture because I'm a new user sorry) My phone showed a result of the updating and everything went right except the radio updating ...

I got the same screen at the boot, 4 (!) in each corner. I'm really wondering which update I have to use ???

Oh rite, yh the 7 vibrations means hardware problem im affraid. The only fix is taking it to repair shop.
[LG Optimus G (International)] OptimusRG:
Hi

I have LG Optimus G (korean version F180L) running rooted original LG OS.

The problem is i am unable to use 1 digit or 4 digit USSD codes like *1234#, *1111#, *1# etc. Instead of dialing USSD code, the phone dials a normal number and calls 1234,1111 etc

2 or 3 digits work fine (*12# *123#) and i get a USSD response back.

Is there a solution or workaround to this? i have tried customer dialers on Play store, but they all have the same issue.

does E975 etc have the same issue? or any other ROMS.

Thanks
[LG Optimus G (International)] hpesojames:
I also cant run USSD / MMI code on my F180K before...but after converting to E975 firmware the codes ran perfectly.

Rooted my phone 8 month ago s-off also. Then yesterday it just shut down and only boots to bootloader.

Pc doesnt see my phone so pushing files to fix it is a no go, choosing factoey reset or revovery just put device into a reboot straight back to bootloader

.

Any one have a pl80img.zip with a recovery in i can use to see if that will fix it prefer stock recovery but at this point will go custom. Htc refuse to help as i am 1 week out of warrenty and still have 12month on my ee contract

Im hoping that the bootloader will allow me to push somethunv via a zip file to get the recivery started just ive never done it this way so no idea how to get the pl80img.zip to push correctly
[HTC One SV] russellvone:
K2_UL_Europe_rom.zip

you can rename this to PL80IMG.zip

and it will do a complete RUU restore to 4.0.4.....

or just use the android-info.txt out of it and zip it together with the TWRP recoveryimg from old.splatterhand's index thread

I'd suggest the full RUU though

make sure battery is at least 30% and plugged into power source

It's technically possible if you're deep into the Uni-fu, but as it's currently irreversible the Uni-fu monks have not made a utility publicly available to do it. It would add to your Storage, BTW, not to your operating ram.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] PReDiToR:
You're asking a very difficult thing, and dangerous.

I unlocked my Ext_ROM and cleared it, then it would show up in the install list.

I have in there at the moment about 9.5MB of installed programs, so whether it is merged with main storage or not, it is being used.

I'm sure when Buzz has a tool that works for repartitioning the DoC without possibly wiping it and properly bricking, he will let us know.

Right now I'm quite happy that his energies seem to be directed towards the SIMlock =)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJCord:
Moin

CM 11 M3 was just released and i want to (again) use CM. On my older phone (Ace aka. cooper aka. S5830) there wasnt much choice, but now i dont know which package to choose from. standard google packages, PA Gapps and their derivatives...

What are differences, their pros and cons? Or are they the same? And finally: which package to use for what purpose. (in my case in combination with CM11.)

maybe we can make this thread a sticky. their might be other ppl having he same problem.

Thanks in advance=)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
To understand the differences between all these packages you need to read. I know that PA Team and Banks (at least) explain well what are their packages.

To sum up the differences are the size of included "bloatwares" and the last updates. Moreover some of them are inverted or multi-DPI.

With CM11 you simply need GApps called "4.4.2" or directly "CM11"
[Moto X Q&A] quickstang:
Many of you i'm sure have had a previous phone or tablet with a custom ROM on it where if you click the apk & install it, it shows a version info tab. (see screenshot). I actually enjoy this feature especially since I load many apks from the device.

Is there a way to accomplish this on the Moto X without a custom ROM of sorts? I was thinking maybe an Xposed module, however i'm not sure if one exists. If not, I think having someone make one would be cool.

Have any of you come across this?

The screenshot is actually from my Nexus 7 2013 running OmniRom.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nashcasten:
I dropped my ZU last December... The whole Side panel where the volume rocker was placed got dinged and popped out... I removed the whole panel tried to fix it i but only made it worst... One thing i did notice was that the volume rocker is not connected with the water proofing since its the body of the ZU that's made water proof (where the aluminum panels are glued).

For weeks I went from one Xperia Store to another looking where I can get it repaired... And they directed me to the Xperia Distributor here in Manila w/c is also the one and only Sony Mobile Repair Center. I inquired about the Volume Rocker replace and Side Panel replacement it was roughtly $28USD for the side panel and another $18USD for the volume rocker... apparently the side panels were made of aluminum alloy... plus labor cost of $16USD since accidental damages aren't covered by the warranty.

Now to cut the story short I brought my phone to the repair center 3 hours later my phone was like new... Side Panels were back, the ding wasn't there. It looked brand new, the the great thing is that I only paid $16USD or 700php for the labor. The repair center told me they didn't replace anything they just had to glue things back and fix the dinged side panel.

Try taking or calling their repair center they might cover it under the warranty. Since its not accidentally damaged. They should cover it under factory defects.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foncall:
I would like to root my SPH-L520 so I can flash it to Boost Mobile as a replacement for my long-in-the-tooth TP2. To do this, I followed a guide I found on andromods.com entitled "How to root Sprint Galaxy S4 mini (SPH-L520) running latest software version from OTA" (sorry, I don't have the permissions needed to post the link). My first step was to establish a USB connection between my SPH-L520 and my PC (Windows 7). You use Kies for that, right? Well, Kies would recognize that there was a SPH-L520 connected, but it wouldn't actually connect to it. It just kept saying “connecting” for half an hour. So I shot-off a support request to Samsung asking for the appropriate drivers for my phone (none are listed on the webpage for the device) and Samsung said there aren't any drivers for the SPH-L520. Kies does connect my SPH-L520 and my PC via WiFi, though, so I thought I’d try to go ahead and run the Kingo rooting program. So I enabled Developer Mode (by tapping on “Build Number” several times) and enabled USB Debugging and ran Kingo. Kingo connected but saw my Samsung device as being in “Normal Mode” (I’m guessing it should have said “Developer Mode”?). I went ahead and clicked on the "ROOT" button and my phone failed to root. I tried it several times and it failed every time. Phone stats are below. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

TWRP v2.1.2 it seems does not support adb transfers and I'm not sure how I can update the bootloader or get files to the device's storage?

In short: get to fastboot mode, update bootloader if necessary (most likely not), reboot bootloader, flash a new version of TWRP, reboot into recovery and start pushing ROMs with ADB.

How do I get into fastboot mode on the phone? I have the necessary files on OS X for adb and fastboot commands. What would I type to send a file to the phone once in fastboot?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndyYan:
Looks like you need more assistance.

Get to fastboot: when powered off, hold VOLUME+ and VOLUME- and press POWER until it shows a green Android with START on top.

Flash a bootloader: connect to PC, and use this command: "fastboot flash bootloader *PATH-TO-BOOTLOADER*". Flashing a recovery goes similarly.

Once you have a higher version of recovery set up, get to recovery and enable ADB Sideload. Then on PC, use command "adb sideload *PATH-TO-ROM*" to sideload (push and flash) a ROM to the phone.
