[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Mystery?:
[MENTION=762991]dragonstalker[/MENTION], I did what you said, I think for the few hours on Darthstalker I was on, I was getting really good battery life
[MENTION=2650030]BACARDILIMON[/MENTION], but when I went to KitKat (stock rom). My battery life became worse than what I had when I made this thread. Da heck?!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dragonstalker:
what kernel did you flash with the kit kat rom. And did you make sure that it was a 4.3 compatible kit kat rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Mystery?:
I flashed to stock through the instructions linked on the Infamous Touchwiz ROM for KitKat. I went to completely stock (with stock kernel) and my battery life got much more worse than before - after changing the settings and whatnot. Flashed Colonel X R13 and boom battery went to 6 hours although not as much as 8 like I used to have in the JB stock ROM days.
[Moto X Q&A] msuttie:
Hey All,

Dropped my XT-1056 after owning it 6 months -> black screen and what appears to be a boot-loop. Contacted Motorola, and apparently it is still covered under warranty. However I do have an unlocked bootloader & root, and therefore my warranty is void. What are the chances they will notice the unlocked bootloader before opening it up and send it back as-is? I have heard rumors that popping it in the micro (I know I know this will pop a few transistors and brick my phone) will render it inert, and they would most likely just replace the phone. I have also heard that the first thing they do in the RMA process is a factory reset, so they might not notice the unlocked bootloader.

Any thoughts on which way I should go?

Apologies if this is posted in the wrong place.
[Moto X Q&A] drago10029:
What did you tell them happened?

---------- Post added at 09:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 PM ----------

Also, you didn't mention if you tried flashing back to complete stock. Maybe you should.
[Moto X Q&A] msuttie:
Sorry I didn't elaborate. I told them I dropped it from pocket height, and when I picked it up the screen was black, and it appeared to be going through a boot loop (vibrating for a second, 10-15s pause, repeat). I did not mention the bootloader/root. I am currently trying to find a way to do a factory reset without the use of my screen, possibly through TWRP (if I can find a good set of screenshots) or some terminal commands. I believe I can get my phone to the bootloader by holding vol down + pwr for a few seconds, but have no way of confirming this, other than the fact that it stops the periodic vibrating. Still does not show it is connected to my PC, so I think Terminal is out of the question unfortunately.
[Moto X Q&A] drago10029:
Dang that sucks, and I was about to recommend terminal. I think trying to connect and run abd commands thru linux or ubuntu might help. also just youtube a TWRP video, but MAKE SURE YOU ARE VIEWING THE CORRECT VERSION! lol if not that could be fatal.

---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

also the microwave thing don't sound like a good idea lol. Especially if you didn't purchase the accident proof warranty.
[Moto X Q&A] msuttie:
Indeed it would be. Haha! Even it it was fatal, do you think they would open it up before doing software diags? Seems unlikely, but might be worth a shot.

Another alternative is that it is just a loose cable, and opening it up might be an easy fix. This however would definitely void the warranty, would it not?
[Moto X Q&A] drago10029:
Also you gotta test on a good cable bro lol and the back USB port. That like an XDA rule or it should be! also microwave would melt the plastic on the moto X and could hurt you or your microwave so please don't do that. Cell phones have enough radiation and microwaves too.

Opening up would void that, unless you know what your doing. check some youtube videos as well. If you can get a stuff flashed at least, that would be the best bet to save yourself.

---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 PM ----------

WAIT A SEC!! You said you dropped unlocked your bootlader?? right? and THEN you called and asked about the warranty and they said it still in effect?

I'm only mentioning that because they're supposed to have record of unlocked bootladers, someone help on this? Or was it just a bad rep.

You def should double check with another representative. You did unlock through Moto's website right?
[Moto X Q&A] msuttie:
Nope. My coworker helped me through the unlocking process. He's done it a thousand times apparently, and it was my first, so I don't quite remember how he did it. Definitely not through Moto though. Told them I dropped it, was surprised when they said it was still covered, and am now going to send it off with all fingers crossed, and hope they don't send it back unfixed after a week.

Hell. Might be worth it to just drop the 200 for a new one. lol!
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
That is what you told them, dropped... but what really happened?

Symptoms do sound like something I had when I flashed a bad logo.bin on my XT1060. Screen didnt' work, just vibrated every few seconds. I did manage to hold the power button to stop vibrating, and then managed to get the phone into fastboot mode and fix.

If you can get your phone into fastboot mode, fastboot erase data and fastboot erase cache should do a factory reset.

If your screen doesn't turn on, they may not see you unlocked your bootloader (since you got code from 3rd party, they wound't have another way to check). and since your phone doesn't boot, they probably wont see its rooted either. So you MIGHT be ok.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] marinegundoctor:
Hi, I'm new to Samsung devices and just got an S4 (coming from a Droid Bionic). It's the Verizon one (i545) on MK2 baseband. Do I need to use Safestrap or should I go with unlocking the bootloader via loki? I've tried flashing CM11 (cm-11-20140313-NIGHTLY-jflte) and CarbonRom (CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20140316-0428-jflte) with Safestrap 3.71 with no success. The phone boots into an endless black screen after the Safestrap logo.

I would appreciate any help on this or a link to what I need to do. My Internet searching has come up with either little or confusing information.

Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] marinegundoctor:
I believe I finally found the correct information. I'll leave this post here to help others find the information as well. If its too redundant then maybe a moderator will delete it.

As far as I can tell there is a of yet no method to unlock an MK2 bootloader so I'll have to stick with safestrap.

I had Cyanogen on my Safestrapped Bionic and Carbon too. I guess they're no longer safestrap compatible.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Chadwick108:
safestrap

Safestrap users are still having to use Touchwiz Based Roms, CM11 are based and AOSP and will not work with Safestrap.

Hello all!

Well, looks like I hard-bricked my phone. It will not boot into download or recovery mode. What do I do?

I tried using quite a couple sd-card guide, but no avil.

I tried http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2345860 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2369125

Also, if it will help, I got a full backup of boot, cache, data, recovery, and system in ".win" files. I cannot load it the "simple" way (through TWRP) since I cannot even get into recovery.

Please help me fix this without using a JTAG service, because there is always the question of wheater I will get my phone back once it is fixed.

YAHOO!! I got this problem solved with the help of zachf714, invisiblek and a special thanks to xstefen for providing a working debrick image. Here is the link to the working debrick image that xstefen provided: http://download.xstefen.net/getdownload.php?file=./xstefen/mmcblk0_backup.bin.zip. all you need to do, is write this image to a micro SD card using linux's

dd

command or Win32 Disk Imager. Then put the sd card in your phone, boot into download mode and flash a stock ROM using Odin.

Wish anyone else who have this problem luck.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lanwarrior:
My Nexus 7 LTE is rooted with stock ROM. I am trying to upgrade to 4.4.2 and it failed because of the error message:

/system/app/books.apk unexpected contents. Installation aborted.

However, searching the folder using ES Explorer, I don't even see this books.apk

My questions are:

1. How is it possible the upgrade fail for an apk that didn't even exist?

2. If all else fail, what can I do to upgrade to 4.4.2 via OTA?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] charesa39:
When you rooted your N7, did you by chance delete some of the "unnecessary" Google apps like Google Play Books? Because if you've removed any of those system apps, the update will fail everytime. That's what this looks like to me. Are you using a custom recovery, or stock recovery?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lanwarrior:
Ah you're right! I did uninstall Google Play Books using Titanium Backup. I thought this is just another Google Apps, since it is available from Google Play.

I don't have recovery like TWRP.

I'll try installing these Google Apps again and installing the updates.

Yeah. If that's the only thing you did, then reinstalling them should do the trick.

[Wear OS General] mikereidis:
So, a "number" of OEMs are using Qualcomm SOCs for their Android Wear devices.

So my guess would be that Qualcomm TOQ is a "reference platform" for Android Wear.

Perhaps there may be ROMs released.... or leaked given that OEMs surely have them already.

No source code for now....

I'm guessing the kernel will be the more or less usual Android variant of the Linux kernel, perhaps with fewer drivers/features. And it's ARM of course.

How similar to standard Android on the higher level ?

I'm still pretty new to smart-watches. I haven't looked at the preview SDK yet.

EDIT: Uses an STM micro, too weak I'd guess to run Android (Wear variant).

EDIT: Looking now, and wondering if the code will even be open sourced ? Google may want to have more control this time around. Google, and the HW OEMs, might even put in roadblocks to custom ROMs even if the source is open, including the usual device locking of course.

http://developer.android.com/wear/preview/start.html :

LOL. Time to try some of my apps and see what happens.

EDIT2: My app UI works !, although the UI is very squished. Looks almost like normal Android (from the app/dev point of view, Launcher or whatever UI is very different). I'm sure a whole bunch of APIs don't work and some will never work.

[Wear OS General] yerand:
I really doubt that the toq can run google wear. It is using a 200mhz non snapdragon soc.
[Wear OS General] mikereidis:
Is there a teardown of it somewhere ?
[Wear OS General] xplus93:
I really think the android wear platform is going to be locked down. I even doubt google will allow oem customization beyond maybe some skinning. Wearables is too fragile of a market to allow the amount of freedom we have on android phones/tablets. So, that means it'll probably have specific hardware requirements and such that prevent it from running on devices that weren't intended to run it. Even if it were remotely possible it wouldn't work very well. Look at other porting projects like Windows phone to android devices and sense for non-htc devices.
[Wear OS General] mikereidis:
I'm leaning towards Google treating "Android Wear" the same as "Android Phone/Tablet".

Google has never hesitated to be open with the "basic" code to run Nexus devices. Open source is good for them.

That's the low level stuff that they build upon and REALLY protect with closed source and licensing requirements: Google Play, GMail, etc.

It's in their interest for everybody to be build the compatible low level.

I don't think Google has committed on the matter publicly yet, funny.
[Wear OS General] Fencesitter:
I was looking up a part number after tearing down one and found theTech Insights report: http://www.techinsights.com/uploade...ts/Wearable-Wellness_Survey_Sample_Report.pdf
[Wear OS General] mikereidis:
Thanks ! I thought there was only one teardown and it cost $1250 to see.

So, STMicroelectronics STM32F207IGH6 ARM Cortex-M3 32-Bit Microcontroller...

Not a Qualcomm SOC/CPU. And only 16 MB of RAM ???

I don't think this will ever run Wear.

I guess it's just an early prototype, of Mirasol among other things.
[Wear OS General] Fencesitter:
Which company was that?

Let me say for the purposes of CYA that I found the Tech Insights link merely by searching for the term "wcn2243 data sheet" Which is one on of the smaller chips on the Toq.
[Wear OS General] mikereidis:
Same company, more detailed report, including some die photos. Advertised for $1250 here: http://www.techinsights.com/reports...market-reports/Report-Profile/?ReportKey=9830

You linked to a legitimate sample report, linked from this page: http://www.techinsights.com/teardown.com/teardown-sample-reports/

I looked at the firmware for the 1st Sony smartwatch and could see several of the hardware components and some proprietary RTOS. Sony supposedly "opened" the watch, but it's just a toy OS last I looked. They weren't releasing anywhere near enough code to replicate stock.

Anyway, the TOQ parts list seems somewhat reasonably similar; there's probably just a few common designs out there. But things may be changing if the new watches will run an actual variant of Android; ARM based micro-controllers being replaced with I guess more powerful "SOCs", not that it's too easy to distinguish a SOC from a micro...

...Now I'm wondering what's in the Chromecast I just got, LOL... Google is going more deeply embedded now.

[Galaxy S 5 General] Y.G.:
The vice chairman specifically mentioned a premium line of "mobile phones." This, as you said, is just a camera. The new Prime Galaxy is still coming.
[Galaxy S 5 General] system.img:
AFAIK the Samsung SVP just mentioned about a premium lineup, but did not specifically say that it was lineup of mobile phones.

Even Samsung CEO JK Shin dismissed the rumors of a premium Galaxy S5.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Y.G.:
He mentioned mobile phones specifically at the annual shareholders meeting. Read his quote below:

"Samsung Vice Chairman Kwon Oh-hyun, speaking at Samsung Electronics’ annual shareholders meeting, has said that the company will be looking at maintaining its dominance "in key businesses, such as mobile phones, TVs and memory chips, by rolling out premium lineups.""

Samsung VC hints at premium line of smartphones, while CEO denies premium Galaxy S5

No premium Galaxy S V is coming. But an entirely new premium mobile phone line, as per the vice chairman, is coming.
[Galaxy S 5 General] karmuh:
Going by that quote alone, it could be coming this year...or within the next 10 years. It's hardly something to be talking about now, considering there's not one piece of proof to suggest anything otherwise.
[Galaxy S 5 General] BoneXDA:
No proof, but too many inside sources mentioned a "premium line-up", a metal frame, QHD screen, 20MP cameras, OIS element, SD805, new Exynos and 4GB RAM for something like that not to happen. Also see timing: the S/Note release was in a 6-month cycle before, but the S5 was announced earlier in February, opening a large gap until the Note 4 launch where the premium line-up could fit in, say around late May when Android 4.5, SD805 etc. are expected to launch. With the S5 being so conservative in design and specs, it wouldn't be Sammy if they didn't push out something bigger soon, just not bearing the S name.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Y.G.:
I agree with this 100%.
