I just ordered an MDA and want to use my excellent Shure E3c earbuds with it, but the connectors don't match. The MDA is 2.5mm and the earbuds 3mm. I tried a Radio Shack adapter with the earbuds and one of their phones, but it would produce only one channel when fully seated. Pull it out a bit and it worked okay, but this is not acceptable. The sales guy said he's seen this before.

Has anyone found a solution short of hacking the earbuds with a 2.5mm connector? I will do this as a last resort.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] IdeaDirect:
I'm looking for the same info.

I've read posts that Extensys carries them. I've heard a few complaints about the radio shack ones (poor quality and stick out too much). Perhaps some phone stores carry them as well.

However, I'm getting the GlobalSat BTH-820 Bluetooth Headset. This will allow me to use my E3c earbuds as headphones and a headset. The 820 has a mic. in it and a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. Seems like you are willing to have a wire to your MDA so you might be okay with a wire to the 820.

You will have to have A2DP flashed rom though to get stereo. True you will have a wire from the 820 to your ear but you get to use your favorite ear buds instead of larger bluetooth headphones. As another benefit, you can also just use one earbud while driving (some states forbid headphones) as a hands free phone. Battery life seems decent. I'm hoping the mic quality is not too horrible.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] me:
I have tried Radio Shack adapters, and they work, in stereo. You have to press it in all the way. Of course, you cannot use it as a phone with that type of adapter, no microphone.

There are adapters you can get that have a retractable cable with an inline microphone. With these, you can use normal 2.5 headphones in the same way as with the stereo headphones that come with the Wizard--for both music and phone. When there is a phone connection, the music is muted.

I have one for example, from Seidio.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] iclick:
Thanks for the reply. Someone on another thread mentioned that some adapters sold on Ebay worked, and Seidioonline carries one. I saw the same adapter elsewhere last night for $9 ($4 less), but I have yet to find the URL again.

The Globalstat system looks good, but I don't think I need to get that involved with it. I just need to plug into the MDA.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] JwY:
some 2.5 have 3 pins or 4, etc so if they don't line up, sound won't work out well on both ears

anyways, the treo adapter works if you are wondering
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] gibbsy:
The expansys adapter lead works ok. it's specially wired as the sockets on these devices are wired so as to use the hands free kit, hence only 1 channel on a normal 3.5 to 2.5 adapter.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] iclick:
Just today I noticed the 2.5's have 4 pins, while the Radio Shack adapter has only three, which is obviously the problem. I suppose they consist of the two audio channels, one mic channel, and ground.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] me:
I should point out that the stereo earphones that come with the phone are also quite decent. Certainly not high-end like your Shures, but most people wouldn't notice the difference. And of course they can switch between music and phone use, without having to bother with an adapter. (To use them for the phone though, one has to turn off bt, at least if a bt headset is within range. Same with any wired headset.)

Being the normal earbud type, they (if used as they are) don't fit well in my ears, easily fall out, etc. I found a good soution for that--Griffin Ear Jams. You put these on normal type earbuds, and it transforms them to the in-the-ear earbuds (like the Shures and others), which stay in better, and sound better.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] sti3:
I got this 2.5mm 3.5mm adapter at my local Staples for $10 and it works with my HTC Tornado (Cingular 2125). Only thing is I think it swaps left and right! I think it's maybe the same adapter as the palm one but i do get stereo sound, and I didn't have to pay shipping.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] iclick:
This link points to a CompUSA set of earbuds with an adapter included, and I couldn't find such an adapter at Staples. However, I did find a number of adapaters on Ebay, including this one that apparently works like the standard headset with a mic: http://tinyurl.com/jllub

There are also some adapters available on Ebay without the mic.

[General Questions and Answers] MrBiggzz:
Hi!

I really hate asking such noobish questions but I'm seriously thinking about rooting my phone to get added features. But I'm really afraid to! I don't want to flash any ROMS to it but want added functionality that some apps have to offer.

Here's my short list of concerns:

1) Will I hurt my phone?

2) When there is an OTA update to my device what do I do. I heard people talk about it but never really paid much attention since it didn't concern me.

3) Will doing so take up more storage? The device only has 16GB and I try to keep at least 7GB free.

4) How much of a degree in rocket science will I need to do this? I'm an IT professional but I work with mainframe technology (very large systems). I'm not afraid of downloading and running trusted software and am very good at following directions.

5) If I root my phone when do I have to unroot it?

6) And last but not least where do I find out how to root my device?

I appreciate the help/advice! I just have to be careful I don't have the extra cash to go buying a device if I brick my current phone!

Again .. thank you much in advance!

BTW I'm running a Nexus 5 16GB and my carrier is Sprint.
[General Questions and Answers] Sambianer:
Hola. I will try to answer your questions, as good as i can :)

1. If you are careful, the chance is small. I have personal never broken anything. I have tried a bad ROM. But it didnt brick anything :) In the start, i only wanted to root, to get the features that root gives you. But now i flash custom ROM´s and stuff like that. So try it, trust me its worth!

2. What do you mean with a OTA update? Maybe i´m just stupid...

3. It dosen´t take much space on my phone, so i can´t see why it should do it on your phone. Ofc. if you have alot of programs, and data it does :p

4. Not much, everybody can do it, if they just read about their phone, and generally root.

5. When you wants too ;)

6. Check this link, http://www.xda-developers.com/android/how-to-root-and-unlock-the-google-nexus-5-xda-developer-tv/

Write if you need more help. But i dont know anything about rooting Nexus 5, so dont blame me. Just use the guide, and the chances for bricking is small ;)

If it's any help, I'll say this: I had a Nexus S, rooted and flashed with new ROMs a million times. It suddenly died on me when charging, and I went out to buy another one to root and flash again. It's that awesome to be able to make it a custom experience, I'd say go for it no matter what. Just a little care goes a long way, though.

[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Your hboot is WAY to low ! Give the outcome of :

Fastboot getvar version-main
[HTC One X] danceunlimited:
1.19.707.1
[HTC One X] danceunlimited:
So here is what I did, tried downloading JBFWTools and up the hboot version but I think i am doing something wrong because it keeps redirecting me to the web page.

I have copied the firmware file to the SD card and follow the 5 step instruction as what was mentioned in the prompt in the batch file but to no +ve result..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1924003
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
My guess is that your hboot is so low that it won't update via that way. Try this....

Relock the bootloader :

Fastboot oem lock

Then execute this ruu with admin rights

http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo..._Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251281_signed.exe

Once that one is done you install this one

http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260743_signed.exe

Then this one

http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_278245_signed.exe

And last but least this one

http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_296434_signed.exe

After the last one you let the phone search for manual ota updates, do that multiple times until you are sure there aren't any left !

Ow and btw....a firmware is not flashed via the sdcard of the phone. But from the pc to the phone in fastboot mode.
[HTC One X] danceunlimited:
Crap that is a ton of steps!

Thanks Mr Hofs will try out tonite and keep you posted.

The reason why i never bothered to do this is because the phone did pretty well for the last few years with the ROM that it came with, its just lately with all the higher requirements of softwares its about time that I cleaned it up. Din know I joined the dinosaurs!
[HTC One X] danceunlimited:
Fastboot oem lock

Outcome - worked

The following were Run as Administator

http://www.androidruu.com/getdownloa...281_signed.exe

Nothing happened, no screen or anything else came up

http://www.androidruu.com/getdownloa...743_signed.exe

Stopped with and exit error code 800700002

http://www.androidruu.com/getdownloa...245_signed.exe

Nothing happened, no screen or anything else came up

http://www.androidruu.com/getdownloa...434_signed.exe

A proper installation screen came up and pushed a file and did some installation but the end result said something like "Unable to update ROM"

I think there is still something missing or fishy.

In fastboot mode run the command - fastboot oem rebootRUU

You'll see a black screen with HTC logo.

After this, run the RUU

[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
That's not how you run a ruu ! A ruu is with the phone in the bootloader (with a relocked or locked bootloader) then right click the ruu.exe and select run as administrator. The problem could be the low hboot. It might not be able to update the hboot with big steps like these !

A firmware flash might solve that (and that's where you need that particular command)

Fastboot commands are executed from the pc to the phone in bootloader mode !

And watch the capital letters they are important too

And where does it say the command OEM REBOOT ? In the guide i linked with the firmwares there is no such command mentioned at all
[HTC One X] danceunlimited:
I did run it from my PC in bootloader mode and it was in lower case.

For this set of instructions can you please explain or lead me to a thread for the following areas:

Download this ota http://androidruu.com/getdownload.ph...rxt8n4m2hf.zip

OK Understand

Take out the firmware.zip and follow the procedures in the thread i linked.

OK Understand but which thread?

After that you try the 2.17.707 or the 3.14.707 ruu again.

Previously posted links did not contain these two numbers, so possible to pls post the link.

Sorry for the trouble. Just want to make sure I am taking all precautions and doing things right so as to not brick my phone.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
These are the commands ! The firmware zip is in the OTA file....and the 2 ruu's are linked a page back. The one starting with 2.17.707 and 3.14.707 check those links. They are direct download links, can't mis them !!!
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Previous posts did not contain these numbers ? What are the bottom 2 ruu.exe files then ?
[HTC One X] danceunlimited:
It says firmware.zip is invalid.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
How did you take the firmware zip out of the ota ? I always use 7zip to open the archive and drag the firmware zip out.

Worst case scenario is that your hboot is to low .... maybe and even older ruu might work. Or look for another older ota and take the firmware zip out of that.
[HTC One X] danceunlimited:
I ll try 7zip now. I am using winzip. Tried opening the zip file in explorer which always works. But not in this case.
[HTC One X] danceunlimited:
7zip works winzip doesnt .. back on track.. work in progress ..

Battery low: need to charge up and continue after a few hours of sleep, will keep you posted Mr Hofs! Need to get some sleep for the moment.

I cant seem to find this posting, I saw it about 2-3 weeks, it was this guy who posted his complete modification instructions or things that he did, he backed them up. He made all these modifications and backed it up so that after a hard reset those can be restored without indivually installing each program and settings. I believe it was specifically for the Wizard/

No, NAB is the stock KitKat rom.

1) Odin MJ4

2) After all done booting up (I would suggest) Booting into stock recovery and doing a factory reset. You get into stock recovery by holding volume up, the home button and the power button.

3) Odin NAB

4) Follow the directions in this post exactly. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=50505723

No, you flash Engineering Bootloader N900PVPUCNAB Through bootloader and the rest through PDA.
