I came to tmobile from att from a grandfathered unl plan. They have started instating a 5gb limit on those plans. Truly unlimited for tmo is only 70 bucks plus what ever you are paying for your phone. Say roughly 90. Plus with the unlimited you still get 2.5 of hotspot. I am looking into right now if with a third party app you can get around the Hotspot limit.

[Moto X Q&A] _slam:
Question if I do a factor reset on my MotoX DEV Ed. 4.4.2 updated with unlocked bootloader, TWRP, SuperSU will I need to reinstall TWRP and SuperSU or will I retain TWRP and SuperSU?
[Moto X Q&A] imnuts:
A factory reset just wipes /data (via recovery). It doesn't do anything to recovery or to /system. Put those two together and you have your answer.
[Moto X Q&A] kbluhm:
"Data" in this case is the /data partition. Backups are stored on the SD card, which is a separate partition.
[Moto X Q&A] kbluhm:
Correct.
[Moto X Q&A] imnuts:
No it isn't. The /sdcard is /data/media. The reason that TWRP and CWM do not format this during a factory reset is that they are setup not to. They don't actually format when you do it, they do a "rm -rf" of everything except /data/media, unless you select the option to wipe everything, in which case, they actually format it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashraf sharif:
Hello ., I replaced my lcd/touchscreen several months ago . the replacement worked fine until recently when i slipped on some ice . now the screen has a hairline crack diagonally from one side to the next. the digitizer works fine and the crack is hardly noticeable. but it bothers me nonetheless;

I ordered a replacement which was defective / the touchscreen did not respond at all. i returned it ,

today I received a second replacement , this one also is not responding to touch.

my screen that got cracked however is working perfectly.

i am running a stock rom with boeffla kernel . i don't think that the rom or kernel would make one screen work but not another. any thoughts or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.:confused:

Ok funny I hadn't seen the Cyanogen Mod instructions since I haven't flashed that but clearly stating that VRBMF1 firmware needs to be flashed.Is that the case for any AOSP 4.4.2?If yes what is the correct sequence?

You should be OK with that flashing procedure, you're probably on the mf1 firmware already. You can check by looking at your baseband in settings

SO I've been having a lot of issue viewing anything that is HTTPS on android 4.2.2 tablet. This happens whenever I visit any secured sites like gmail for example.

This is the same across almost all major browsers (Stock android, chrome, dolphin, boat) Firefox is the only browser that accepts HTTP and displays them, but my issue is that firefox is super slow to load pages.

Is there an app I can download that can solve this issue? Or is there a way I can speed up firefox? (I would much rather use dolphin since I paid for it).

The only problem is that it causes all signal to be lost. I've seen posts where people drill holes in the back of the case in order for the signal to work properly. I was just wondering if anyone has ever bought a similar case and have a work around for signal to work properly. Thanks!<3

[Galaxy S III Accessories] nostradmus:
Might not be worth the trouble but you could get someone with a lathe to cut out a new back cover out of a material that doesnt affect signal ( plastic , wood , bacon etc.) and give it a fake alu color coat. Gonna be diffcult to fasten the new back door but it might even make it more protective. Transparent plastic like perspex might look nice.

---------- Post added at 01:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 PM ----------

Another option would be to mould a backplate out of epoxy resin or whatever that stuff is called that ppl use for auto body work and making Stormtrooper suits. Use the bumper as the mould and use a dremel or sandpaper to reduce it to the thickness you need but leaving a bit of space where the screws hold the case together. Tbh I cannot think of any way to improve reception without replacing a majority of the metal with some other material.

Even just cutting out a shape out of the backplate and replacing it with plastic might do the job.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cooling2014:
I have not bought this case.

For high quality bumper case, it will enhance the signal. But for some other bumper case, it will weaken the signal.

That's all

[Samsung Captivate Glide] margram:
I bought an unlocked samsung captivate glide. At first it worked normally but then the sim card was not recognized any more.

I started studying what the causes of this could be.

Baseband is shown as "unknown" and when i put *#06# IMEI says "null/null".

Now I suppose it is a problem with the files in the EFS folder.

When i open nav_bin file with hex editor it is all blank, all the fields have "ff" and the last ones "00"

I need to restore the EFS folder in order to have at least a generic IMEI, isn't it wright? How can i manage to do this?

I don’t have any backup of the original files; anyway i don’t care having a generic IMEI to begin with.

Any help is appreciated

Flashing a FTF will wipe data and settings (unless you know what you are doing).

A better option would be to flash a Stock Sony kernel (boot.img) from flashtool in fastboot mode.

I'm not a Z1 user so won't point you at one but [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]'s threads would be a good place to start looking

[Sony Xperia L] faizalotai:
Hi,

this is a problem i encountered many times after (a while) i updated my rom (cannot install/update any app.apk file via or outside the playstore and there is this famous "Insufficient storage available" error which cant solved by wiping cache and dalvik cache).

And after some investigation i noticed that since android 4.2, google create a new lib folder for the apps in "/data called /data/app-lib/" and there is a symlink from "/data/data/APP-PATH/lib" to this folder which is the most culpable of this error.

So to avoid this kind of error:

1. go to "/data/app-lib/APP-PATH(that has this error)/lib" and delete.

2. install/update the apk app.

3. if not work go to "/data/app-lib/APP-PATH(that has this error)" and delete all the folder (but you must begin by their sub-folder then the folder itself, because you cant delete the folder of this APP-PATH directly without deleting their sub-folder first.

i hope, i helped some of you guys that you have this erroneous and overstressed error.

thanks:good:

EDIT: I got past the original issue. Please see post #4 instead,

I'm trying to determine if my hardware has gone bunk or whether it's repairable system errors.

_____________________________________________________

Original post:

Hi guys,

I see several recent posts about similar topics but I can't begin to troubleshoot because I can't get past the bootloader.

Here are my specs from the bootloader screen:

INCREDIBLEC XC SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-0.92.0000

MICROP-0417

TOUCH PANEL-ATMELC03_16ac

RADIO-2.15.10.07.07

Jul 23, 2010, 18:06:51

I use ClockworkMod recovery, but I can't remember the last ROM I had installed, it might have been MIUI 2.3.2.

___________

When I try to start the phone normally it just hangs at the first white "htc Incredible" screen. Tried without an SD card inserted: same behavior.

If I boot into hboot instead and try to launch Recovery, it goes to the white "htc Incredible" screen and hangs indefinitely, whether SD card is in or out.

If instead, from hboot, I try to Factory Reset, it goes to the white "htc Incredible" screen and hangs indefinitely, whether SD card is in or out.

At this point I can't get past the white "htc Incredible" screen no matter what I do.

____________

I issued the "oem enableqxdm 0" command through fastboot to ensure the SD card could be mounted, then took a fresh SD card and loaded the Stock_inc_4.08.605.15 image from dinc.does-it.net and flashed it in hboot. It loaded the image, went to "Parsing…" for a few seconds, then reset to the main hboot screen (not sure if that means it was successful). Still the same outcome: stuck on the first white "htc Incredible" screen, whether simply powering on, launching recovery, or trying to factory reset.

The phone had some previous issues I can describe if anyone thinks it would help (bootlooping unless I held the phone in the freezer long enough to launch AnTuTu and underclock the CPU way down, suggesting a heat issue).

Really I would just like to get some data off of a few saved Nandroids, if I can get the phone working again as a toy for tinkering with that would just be a bonus.

Can anyone tell what my problem is?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
Sounds like your recovery is borked somehow. Try fastboot flashing your recovery again (I recommend latest TWRP), and start over.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROMshtein:
Thanks for the reply.

I tried flashing the stock recovery image (4.08.605.2) through fastboot but I kept getting the "FAILED (remote: not allowed)". I was able to load it as a .zip through the bootloader though. After rebooting and entering recovery through hboot the recovery partition would flash open, then immediately restart to the white "htc Incredible" screen again where it would hang as long as I let it.

I did notice it was getting really hot just sitting at that white screen so I popped it in the freezer to cool off for a minute. When I opened the freezer a minute later BOOM it's sitting at the home screen, fully booted. Keeping the phone in the freezer, I've since been able to reflash CWM 5.0.2.0 recovery and load my saved Nandroids. As soon as the phone is out of the freezer for 1-2 minutes it does and goes back to the white "htc Incredible" screen and either hangs or bootloops.

So right now I'm running back and forth between the freezer and the charger trying to load each of about a dozen Nandroids, backup my photos, call and sms logs, and move on to the next one. Seems like this method will at least allow me to get my saved data out of the Nandroid backups even if it takes all night.

Two questions:

1) It seems like the phone has a hardware overheating issue. After rescuing my data, I'll probably try to load an undervolted/underclocked kernel to see if it will stay alive under a reduced load...any input on the best choice for such a ROM & kernel?

2) To access my nandroid backups, do I need to load them on to this specific phone? Is there a runtime environment or can BlueStacks or something allow me to virtually load a nandroid backup from my dinc for purposes of getting the data off?

Thanks again.

Hay

I have a Sony Xperia M Single SIM and I download a cyanogen custom ROM. The problem is I can't enter to the bootloader or the recovery mode to install the ROM. I did this process:

I shut-down the phone, then i get pressing and holding the power button until the phone get on, and i pressed quikcly the button volum up too. And the phone doesn't response, it take me to the "Enter your pin" normal mode.

One more thing:

the phone is blocked on Orange here in Spain, and i searched if does exist any method to unlock the bootloader or something like that, and I found in the sony website some procedures to know if your phone can get unlocked, and i entered the following number *#*#7378423#*#*, then to: Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. And the Bootloader unlock says No!!!!

If any one can help me to install a custom ROM I'll appreciate that. I have no idea how I can do it, specially on Sony's phones, on Samsung's phone I didn't had any problem.

I'm sorry for my English is very bad:(:(
[Sony Xperia M] mbc07:
Your bootloader is locked (and it's not unlockable), so, no way of using custom ROMs in your phone ate the moment...
[Sony Xperia M] ayoub20600:
So why it is Locked. The is a several phones has it unlocked. Why the mine ???

Can you explain me why is locked and no unlocked?
[Sony Xperia M] asdcxz1:
You should unlock it manually check the forums to unlock the bootloader
[Sony Xperia M] mbc07:
Just to make clear, Xperia devices has two types of lock: SIM Lock and Bootloader Lock. The SIM Lock prevent you from using SIM cards from other carriers, and you can remove your SIM lock in any device by paying to your carrier or to a service center (in some countries the carrier removes the SIM lock for free in some cases).

Then comes the bootloader lock. With a locked bootloader, you can't boot in recovery mode because there isn't a recovery mode in stock ROM (trying to do so will just start the phone normally). You also can't flash custom recoveries or kernels (needed to use custom ROMs) with a locked bootloader. All Xperia devices comes with the bootloader locked from factory, but in most of them they're unlockable...

If you bought your Xperia device directly from a retail store, your bootloader is certainly unlockable and you can proceed with the method you tried (go to Sony website, input your IMEI, get your unlock code, etc.). If you bought your Xperia from a carrier (Orange, in your case) then your bootloader is very likely to be not unlockable, and that's your case, your bootloader isn't unlockable, as you already checked by going into Service Menu with *#*#7378423#*#*. If your bootloader isn't unlockable, you are out of luck, you can't do anything, there isn't any other method...

And further info if you get an unlockable Xperia device in future: by unlocking your bootloader, your warranty is void and your DRM keys get wiped, because of that, some proprietary Sony apps won't work anymore (Mobile BRAVIA Engine, TrackID, "Download Music Info", PlayStation Certified features,etc). So, if your bootloader is unlockable, you should to a TA backup before unlocking it, so, in future, if you want, you can relock your bootloader and get your DRM keys back, so the proprietary Sony apps works again...

Also, removing your SIM lock doesn't unlock your bootloader as well as unlocking your bootloader doesn't remove your SIM lock. They're two different things, completely independent of each other...

Read the OP, its bootloader can't be unlocked
