[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] necronian:
I bought a bnib tmobile g2 off swappa the other day. I want to install a newer rom and started following the instructions to gain permaroot and install a recovery in the wiki here http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD

First I downgraded by following this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178912 which worked fine.

But now my phone is no longer recognized as a usb device when I am in android, so I can't obtain adb access. After messing around a bit, changing usb cables, plugging it into different computers, etc I booted into hboot by holding down+power. When I am in hboot I can see the phone over usb and see it when I run fastboot devices. I tried flashing cwm recovery with fastboot but it didn't work.

root@x230:/home/necronian/xfr/root# fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7-vision.img
sending 'recovery' (3652 KB)...
FAILED (command write failed (Bad file descriptor))
finished. total time: 0.000s

Hboot lists the following

VISION PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.82.000
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot
Sep 2 2010,17:59:38

Does anyone have any idea where I should go from here? I can't follow any of the wiki instructions without adb access. Otherwise everything on the phone seems to be working fine although I haven't transferred my sim over from old G2 so I don't know if the cell works.

I tried letting it install a system update that brought me to 1.22.531.8 but it still isn't detected as a usb device. I know that I have the correct drivers (I'm on linux anyway) because I previously used adb to downgrade the phone and I've tried several usb cables and computers.

Any help would be appreciated.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
I don't the issue is the phone, try to update your fastboot binaries, try another USB cable or port, try renaming the images to something simple like recovery.img or bootloader.img (don't know why but I have seen this work) or try another PC or run a virtual box
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] necronian:
I ended up downloading visionary and put it on an sdcard, then I gained temproot and installed clockworkmod from the play store and the engineering hboot. I'll try flashing a new rom later but I should be good to go now.

That's your choice, but if you don't root with gfree method you could run into issues down the road, happens a lot on these forums.

I Recently Bought Note 3 N9005 from online store crazydeals ,Dubai

the Phone i received was a European sim model and when i switched on the phone i noticed SUPER SU was already installed so for confirmation i Installed Root checker and Got Confirmed the phone was already rooted

so I googled and came to know about KNOX thing and Found ODIN shows warranty void 0x1

Now Tell me what are the disadvantages of Having such phone should i use the phone as it is or i am gonna have issues later on , what sort of problem i will face if i keep this phone and use it

And i travel in different country will i face any issue ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
The only problem is that any Samsung warranty is probably void.

Other than that there will be no problem, but I STRONGLY suggest that you either exchange that for a normal sealed phone or at least (on the longer term when you will learn more about the topic) do a complete firmware re-write as to remove anything that was installed (and was possibly hidden) on that phone (for instance keyboard loggers). Also check the reactivation lock.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pleasant:
well they dont give samsung manufacturer warranty they only have crazydeals own warranty which only covers software related issues

no hardware warranty

so there is chances some hidden keyloggers might be there , What do you mean by check reactivation lock what is reactivation lock

how to rewrite the firmware What steps

DOWNLOAD THE ORIGINAL FIRMWARE of N9005 and Install it

and then INSTALL REGION LOCKAWAY ? to unlock the phone again ?

i will try to ask them if they have other international version of n9005 which is factory unlocked what if they only have European sim model available

and as the firmware is modified i cannot get OTA FW Updates so what options i have left to get 4.4.2 or later updates on NOTE 3 ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thahim:
Best is that you return the one and get it replaced with new one. Your phone isn't brand new.

Sent from Galaxy Note 3 SM-9005
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
1. In theory it is that simple, however you probably have no idea what ORIGINAL firmware was :rolleyes: So actually it could be much more complex, and you could softbrick the phone.

2. Region lockaway needs root. If you are using a non-EU SIM then you should be twice more careful.

3. You DO NOT want 4.4.2 until you are ABSOLUTELY certain that you can region-unlock the phone - there are reports that not all baseband versions actually work with region lockaway, so for the moment you probably have one that works! HOWEVER ON N9005 YOU CAN NEVER RETURN FROM 4.4.2 BACK TO 4.3! (at least for the moment).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thahim:
Hi can you tell me about my firmware I just rooted it with cf root as I bought it.

Its n9005 and I think its U.S variant.

I bought it from Pakistan so what if I flash 4.4.2 will I have to unlock?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pleasant:
Yeah i will try to Get it replaced or return

btw from where you bought in pakistan at what price ? and it is also EU MODEL and came root unlocked ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pleasant:
yep i am using NON EU sim as i am in DUBAI and doesnt have EU Sim so the last resort is to return the phone

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
I believe N9005XX is the EU network-unlocked (but region-locked for EU) version.

MI7 could have been rooted with knox 0 by using URDLV, cf-root made your knox 1.

Check the effective CSC on your phone and read the threads around on that matter. Very likely that after writing stock 4.4.2 you will have to re-root and you might need to region-unlock (again?). I do not know if region lockaway works with 4.4.2 - look around for first-hand reports (but be aware to look at reports for the same model of N9005 that you have). Keep in mind that if you write 4.4.2 you can NOT return back to any 4.3 version.

Hey guys,

So I've been working on an app for a while now that's live on google play in a limited number of territories.

One of the most common errors I've started seeing 'in the wild' is a crash on app startup due to no memory.

I'm loading a lot of textures in the app so its not a surprise, and most modern Android devices handle it just fine. I'm working away on optimising loading in various places BUT I still think I'll need to start excluding some of the more low-powered android devices from the google play store.

The problem is that there are of course THOUSANDS of devices listed on the Google play store and I don't have a set list of exactly what to exclude yet. I can put some stuff in on the code side to exclude certain resolutions, chipsets etc. but would still like to make list some excluded devices on the google play store. Ideally without having to cross-reference every device with their gsm arena listings for stats :silly:

My question is:

Does anyone have a a few suggestions of particularity low powered or old devices that they don't support for their apps?
[HTC One X+] veer.killerboy:
Hey, everyone !!! Here is detailed analysis of charger with battery stats. These Stats can help you to choose which charger is suitable with HTC One X plus. Screenshots are Provided. And sorry for poor english.

0.2A instead of 1A on HTC? That sounds strange. Can you repeat your test, but now starting with a different order?
[HTC One X+] geojoking:
Well, with these results it should take more than 5 hours to charge your phone with the HTC charger. Does it?
[HTC One X+] reaper90:
Do you really think HTC is not able to provide the right charger for their phones? lol

As i can see you did your measurements using battery monitor widget, but i hope you know that actively using your phone while charging affects charging speed!? The charger delivers 1A current (except it's broken but then i don't think it would do anything), but if your display/cpu (and other things ofc) need 800mA then there's only 200mA left for charging process.

Also battery level affects charging speed, on very low (~ <5% i think) and very high (~ >90%) the charging speed is far lower than 1A. Maybe you already experienced that charging from 95% to 100% takes longer than for example from 60% to 70%.

For more accurate and maybe helpful measurements you will have to test for longer than 5 minutes, but i don't think there will be any breaking news on what charger is best...

Nice to see your efforts to contribute to the community, but your measurements can't be right. Also as i already said, in my opinion (no offense) this topic isn't really worth the time.
[HTC One X+] veer.killerboy:
...

^ Yea, sure. When I will be free, I will repeat these test again.

^ Yea, It take approx 5hrs to charge, but anyhow I m charging it with nokia.

^ First of all, I am not blaming HTC. These are my opinion.

Yea, Actively using phone affects but what if activities are constant during tests, and no, its not broken. I tried with other same HTC charger results were same. And I know charging speed were different at battery levels but wait what about other chargers? NOKIA and SAMSUNG were checked between 24% to 30% and the battery flow were different whereas HTC too.

Sure, for more accurate I will try more than 5min. and already I posted DISCLAIMER about measurements. There wouldn't be breaking news but you should know which charger fits to your phone while shopping, and most important we should know everything about phone and its accessories.

Don't forget (no offense) without charging a phone; it can't survive. So don't discourage little things as charging is like feeding power to our beast(HTC ONE X Plus ;) ) and Thanks for your reply :good:

5 hours to charge? Probably when charging and playing a game. For me after 1,5-2 hours it is almost full.
[HTC One X+] oziboy:
lol i use this one here (see attachements) its a Belkin model f8z222ea adapter...

it gives 5V-1A (according to factory)

anyway i can charge my Phone fully from 0 - 100% in around 2 hours

you should use a meter instead of an app :d
[HTC One X+] /\/\:
Today I charged my phone for 1,5 hours (or maybe less), while the first 50-60 minutes I spent on playing games and listening music, because I had nothing to do. The rest of the time I charged with screen off. Charged from ~40 to 92%.

Hello Friends,

Just want to share my app Paired Window Shortcuts - it allows you to make a shortcut to launch a pair of apps in multiwindow. Creating a paired window shortcut is already a built-in feature of newer Samsung devices but limited only on the multiwindow tray. With this app, you can create a paired window shortcut on the homescreen or on third-party apps like swipepad, swipe home button and other apps that support launching of shortcut widgets.

DOWNLOAD:

Download from the post below or

if you're feeling generous, you can get the version from the Play Store. Both version are the same, except one, the one on the Play Store shows app icons when picking apps but aside from that, both are functionally the same without limits. NO ADS or analytics.

What does the functions do that is lost when unlocking the bootloader?

And do they make a big difference to the phones functionality?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ak800i:
As i gather, you lose X-Reality and Bravia Engine functionality.

If you backup your TA I think you could restore them and relock bootloader.

Also if you're on 4.2 you will break your camera. 4.3 and up fixes this problem.

Hit thanks If I helped you :)

Something what you lose when you try to Unlock Your Bootloader.

---------- Post added at 12:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 AM ----------

No, to me they don't but my only concern is the loss of quality in pictures, this is the only thing which stop me from Unlock my Bootloader.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gnubaver:
But you can just do a TA Backup?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Tes, but when you restore the TA backup you relock the bootloader...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Backup TA is just a Backup of your DRM keys, to not lose them permanently, so one day you want your phone back to Stock you have them and you can restore them BUT they are lost permanently when you Unlock Bootloader and they are not working, this do not effect the functionality of your phone but they affect the quality of your pictures. So apparently something they do.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gnubaver:
Wait a minute, first you say they are not lost permanently by doing a backup, and then you say "you can restore them BUT they are lost permanently when you Unlock Bootloader and they are not working"

wtf?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Just a language barrier I think

You can backup your TA (Which contains the DRM keys)

If you unlock your bootloader you lose DRM keys

If you restore your DRM keys by restoring your TA you relock the bootloader

Basically its not possible to have DRM keys on an unlocked bootloader
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Sorry for my bad english, :D

DRM Keys are lost permanently "when" or "after" Unlocking Bootloader, so they will not work anymore, right? because they are lost. Your phone still working well but something apparently is affected like the Quality of the pictures.

Like [MENTION=3843529]gregbradley[/MENTION] said, If you made a Backup TA you can restore them by Relocking Booloader, they are working only with Locked Bootloader.

So why Unlock Bootloader? to flash Custom Roms with Custom Kernels. To get just Root you don't have to do it and Restore TA (Bootloader) can be done on Stock Kernel only if not you can brick your phone.

I hope I clarified. :)

..also I wake up few minuts ago...:D

[MENTION=3980723]Gnubaver[/MENTION] I forgot one thing. Losing DRM Keys (Unlocking Bootloader) mean that some features will be affected or not working like BIONZ Processing, X-Reality and Bravia Engine.

Somebody said that after Unlock Bootloader on 4.4 the features still working. On 4.3 with some fix X-Reality is back, ecc...all this was not confirmed yet if it's true but I think many Devs are working on it. For sure there is a lost in Quality on Pictures because of BIONZ Processing, so at the moment I will not recommend to Unlock any Bootloader, if not on your own risk.

So I had a bad kernel flash and it wiped my EFS partition and the phone now randomly reboots every minute or less. I had backup imgs of the EFS when I first rooted, but unable to root... Since the phone keeps rebooting before the root process can finish. (I already restored phone back to stock tot) .

So left with no way to restore my EFS backups I called LG and filed for repair and luckily it was still covered so I mailed it out today.

Has anyone ever returned to LG for repair for EFS issues? If so did they return your original phone? Or did you get a refurbished one back? Just wanted to know what to expect...

Sounds like you're having the same problem as me. You only have a single line though, while 2/3 of my display is like this. Mine gets like this whenever it's a little under room temperature, and it's a hardware defect according to Sony.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Just checked out your video, and i'm having this issue too. That's called "ghosting", and that means that the response time of the screen has gone to hell. The issue gets triggered on mine when the temperature drops a little.

Try this:

- Is it functioning normally in room temperature? If yes, put the phone in your refrigerator for 2-3 minutes and see if it's still functioning properly. If not, well.. then you're having the same issue as me, and i've talked to Sony, and it's a hardware defect and you'll have to use your warrenty and get a new screen. I sent mine in for repairs today, so i'm crossing my fingers.

IF you decide to send it in for repairs, remember to call them and ask them to do whatever triggers the issue, or else they'll simply re-flash the firmware and call it a day. That's what happened to me the first time, and you don't want that to happen :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] aeazy617:
It was working fine then I put it in the fridge for two minutes and it started malfunctioning as soon as I took it out like you said it would
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Alright, so it's the same issues as i have, and it's a production error according to Sony, so you'll have to send it in for repair. This is strangly enough only the second case where this happens, that i've read or heard about (including my own Ultra), so it doesn't seem to be that big of an issue. It could simply be an issue on a batch of Ultras that we got. It's a really strange defect though.
