is there a way for this method to work from in download mode/firmware update screen? or some other way to get into fastboot from there?

My VS980 is acting like a D801 for some reason, KDZ/TOT methods won't recognize the device.. :(
[G2 Android Development] rootlinux:
Any link update?
[G2 Android Development] savoca:
THe only way to install autobulk is using a recovery or dd,. If you have either, then you already have enough to restore your device. The link was removed as it's very dangerous if you even have the slightest doubt of what you're doing.
[G2 Android Development] sandys1:
[MENTION=4316709]savoca[/MENTION] - can you let me know the gist of what you were doing in the zip ? I recovered from a hard brick, and sometimes am messing about my phone. One of the problems I have faced is getting hosed and download mode window shows up, but it does not go to the next screen. I recovered from this by paying money - I'm wondering if there is a way to force the phone into a QH USB Bulk 9006 mode - because then it is simply a case of flashing the right partitions.
[G2 Android Development] savoca:
I doubt there is a way to force download mode out of a "hard brick" state, if there is I wouldn't know about it. The autobulk was basically a bad version of LK that fell back to bulk mode when it failed to execute.
[G2 Android Development] sandys1:
let me ask you this then - is there a way to force bulk mode if you are stuck at download mode ? (yes - we have had lots of these situations because of people flashing incorrect KDZ, etc.)

This is something I have been searching for - I know there is a way to do it by [shorting capacitor](http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404). I wonder if you had another way - what was the use case of autoboot ? were you supposed to use it from recovery to go to bulk mode ?
[G2 Android Development] savoca:
If by flashing a wrong kdz or mixing up your bootstack you ended up in bulk mode, that is comparable to using autobulk (just a failed LK exec). The hardware shorting method would be beyond me, I haven't really looked into it. Autobulk was just for experimenting or learning. I never claimed for it to be a solution to a problem, though here it was misconstrued to be so.

Hi,

I want to nuke my LG G802 32GB. It is having 16GB kernal by mistake i flashed when it was stuck in fastboot. But after this i am not able to enter fastboot.

Issues: 10 gb free space ,touch is not responding properly. very bad.

PLease help me to run the above command
[G2 Android Development] wulsic:
If you want to nuke the partition then you need to enter ADB or recovery to execute it properly. If you have an otg try to use that to download an Wireless adb app and connect to your phone using adb connect ipadress

For examle I need to enter adb connect 10.0.0.46 and after that you just can do

adb shell

su

And then just copy and paste the dd command in the cmd or terminal.

You can also attempt to fix the touchscreen by updating the touchscreen firmware through the hidden menu.

and to fix the storage you must google it, I don't know the exact procedure as I am using the 16GB G2. Goodluck with fixing your problem. I only need to say thankyou to you, because I forgot that I needed to nuke my partition again to have fastboot.

[G2 Android Development] roadkill42:
Is there ancomand on to copy and restore it in case something goes nuts?
[G2 Android Development] ibub:
You can use the dd command in a similar way in order to copy laf partition to your SDcard:

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf of="path to your SDcard/laf.img "

Then check to see if it was properly copied as laf.img

Then to restore the partition:

dd if="path to laf.img on your SDcard" of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf

I purposely left out the path to your SDcard because it's different for different devices.
[G2 Android Development] roadkill42:
Wounder if work only Stylo 2 I have to of them one can get into fastboot other cannot so I wounded ING if I copy that off the one that can get into fastboot then flash that to one that can't is that maby possible?
[G2 Android Development] ibub:
Best to make a copy of the laf partition from the phone that will not access fastboot mode before trying that. The partition from the other phone might not be identical so it's best to have that backup copy. And the method listed on the OP is to write zeros to the partition so as to trick the bootloader to boot the device into fastboot mode. I honestly don't think a different laf would gain you that access. But I honestly don't know for certain.
[G2 Android Development] roadkill42:
The one that can get fasboot is zv3 one that can't is zv4 that's when they blocked bootloader. Ok I will make copies of both and hope for the best thanks for your advice more than any body has said about my idea
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BallaratBloke81:
Wife and I bought a new tab 3 10.1 and put it on the charger at 11.30pm, at 8.30 the next night it was only charged to 83%. Should it take so long to charge the first time? How long does a typical full charge take?

TIA
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creep138:
Are you using the stock charger? Cause I know when I plug mine in my USB wall outlet it'll take forever, when I use a USB stock or non stock adapter its fine
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brian D:
What creep138 said. The stock charger is rated at 2 amps. If you use like a phone charger that is rated at 1 amp then you are severely extending your charging time. Make sure the charger is OEM Stock (or one rated at 2 amps) and make sure the cable is the thicker cable that came with the Tab.

I can get 100% in a couple of hours after a good hard use. But if I run it over night on the charger, I most definitely get 100% in the morning.

Does such a browser exist?

Looking for true text reflow, not that double tap zoom... But where you zoom in manually and it keeps reflowing text to show up on the screen.

-Looking for flash support in the browser with 4.4.x

-Looking for pie controls like the AOSP browser has in the labs section.

Any advice?

[Ouya General] markeymark:
Just got this back out cupboard as not used it to full potential, first thing I want to know is, can I change the look of the front end of ouya, looking for something similar to android

Secondly, is there an equivalent program like hyperspin as I have a hard drive configured and was wanting to use ouya for it rather than a PC

Many thanks
[Ouya General] Greez2k5:
Still waiting for an answer..
[Ouya General] jmpiv4:
"can I change the look of the front end of ouya, looking for something similar to android"

Yes

"is there an equivalent program like hyperspin"

Most likely but not everyone knows what that is a better explanation would help get an answer.

"I have a hard drive configured and was wanting to use ouya"

An usb hard drive works with ouya just fine with a fat32, ntfs or ext4.

"Still waiting for an answer.."

As far as I know the board search function and Google Search still works...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Archimago:
Hi guys, just got phone 3 days ago! Been going thru the messages here and looking at the posts on different ROM's, etc... Overwhelmed and too little time to look at the details of all the versions. Need advice from other users of this phone/PDA and essentially "what works for you?":

1. Is there an Orange firmware that's up to date and I can just do a one-shot upgrade?

2. Is there an even better firmware I should upgrade to for stability and speed if I don't care about the Orange theme, etc...?

I don't plan to spend a ton of time doing this, just a stable and quick OS is the goal. Also, since I'm using the phone in N America, don't care about the Orange network features itself.

Thanks,

Arch

Repairing/restoring the phone via PC Companion will re-lock the bootloader? If so, does this mean, I will have Bravia Engine/X-Reality working again as I have unlocked bootloader.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Attitude.SSJ:
Relocking won't bring back your drm keys... So it won't work like that..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raptor 2020:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popthosegaskets:
Raptor is correct, you cannot relock bootloader using PC companion. You can only use Flashtool to relock your bootloader then use PC companion to restore your phone. However, that defeats the purpose since you can restore your phone using Flashtool as well.

Helow!

If i use LEDFlash on my phone as a flashlight, after minute and half LED is so hot that you can't put finger on it!!!

I've never noticed so hot LED on any phone. Is this normal for P880 or I must send it on service?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] balloon27:
It's 'relatively' normal I guess. I had this with the flashlight app I used on stock too, but when I just tested my current one (the one embedded in NamelessROM) it didn't seem to get so hot. Might be due to the app assigning too much voltage to the LED. Try another app! It's by no means a reason to get your device serviced.

First of I'm in the UK and LG out of warranty have refused to help since I've opened my phone up and Marc with party's etc, the issue is I dropped my phone in water then I used a reviveaphone kit to attempt to save it and so after it had dried out I put it on charge but the phone wouldn't charge or connect to USB so I bought a new battery and replaced the USB port flex and the phone comes on, I could make and receive calls and connect to WiFi etc, the phone still had moisture behind the screen but it was functioning within normal parameters. The battery is now dead and the phone still won't charge or connect to USB, I took it to a phone shop who advised me that the charging IC on the board is dead and they can't do anything about it.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] prestonmcafee:
The size in memory of cprog.exe had been creeping up on my MDA, reaching over 4MB, according to Memmaid. This size doesn't change with soft resets. Then I did a hard reset, upgraded to 2.24 ROM, restored my PIM data, and cprog is down to 1.1MB, and has stayed there. All of my contacts and appointments are there. What accounts for the difference?

I don't know if old items were accumulating on the MDA; I clean items more than two months old out of Outlook, so synching should delete older items, but I never checked that this had happened. But if it had, they should still be there since I actually restored the PIM data using spb backup.
[General Topics] mstofflett:
This is a how-to guide on using your phone's NFC to get onto the CTA.

Requirements are as follows:

Android 4.4 (KitKat)

SimplyTapp App

SquareLess App

Phone that supports NFC

Ventra Card

First install and setup SimplyTapp. It's free, runs on almost anything with 4.4 and will be the main application used when getting on the CTA.

After you have setup your SimplyTapp account, create your PIN.

Add a card, select swipe yours, you will end up at a webpage telling you that you need a card swiper inorder to continue, this is not the case. click Get The Card Now. Sign in, authorize the new card (blah, blah, blah). stop when you get to Put your swipe data in this box.

goto the home screen (Push home button or however you do it on your phone)

Install SquareLess from PlayStore (Same developer that made SimplyTapp)

Open SquareLess

Hold your Ventra Card upto your phones NFC sensor (most devices are on the back).

You will hear the NFC sound on your phone and if it reads it sucessfully you will get a long string on numbers (possibly letters aswell). Get a piece of paper (If anyone can figure out how to clipboard this PLEASE TELL US HOW), write the entire string including all numbers, letters and special characters.

Now goback to your web browser which will have the swipe data box we saw earlier in it. Type the ENTIRE string into the box, it has to be exact (case sensitive) with no changes. After you have the ENTIRE string entered, click Swipe Complete.

The card will save to your account. ALL DONE!!!

Make sure you select Tapp as your default pay app under settings, otherwise gWallet will transmit cc info.

Now when your at the station or a bus. Open the Application, click on the card, hit Pay. Hold the device over the Ventra scanner and you should get a GO!

I did this using my Ventra Mastercard, after using it I checked my MoneyNetwork prepaid balance and it did not charge under the prepaid. Checked ventrachicago.com and it showed up under my transit balance. SO IT WORKED.

Its just like a second ventra card, you can even interchange the card with the phone. EXAMPLE: get on the redline using the card, transfer to the bus using the phone and still pay transfer price.

Let me know your trials and tribulations. Feedback is welcomed, works or not. LET ME KNOW

Whenever I tap on a Ventra machine with the card up, nothing happens. Nor does anything happen when I tap at the turnstile. I am running 4.4.2 (Paranoid Android 4.3B6)
[General Topics] BallCity:
Oh wow, this actually works! I did not have high hopes, but it worked flawlessly. I feel sort of weird using my phone for the Ventra now, but whatever, it rocks - this is the future! It also reads a lot better and faster than the physical cards - this is amazing.

FYI, I'm on T-Mobile with a Nexus 5. The instructions in the OP have slightly changed as the website has been redesigned a bit I think, but either way, it's easy to navigate through. The only issue is to manually type out the magnetic stripe information, but I was able to easily do it and get it to work on the first try.

Encounter any nosey bus drivers yet? I plan to use this in place of my physical ventra card. They said that it is like 50 bucks to replace if lost.
[General Topics] BallCity:
I've only used it for a week but so far no questions. From what I understand with Google wallet or ISIS you can use your phone to pay for the bus with a debit card anyway. The advantage to the method in this thread though is you can use the actually Ventra card and it will hit your ventra credit and/or transit benefits, not a charge on a debit card.

As for lost Ventra cards, I've lost mine a couple of tines. It's only a $5 replacement fee. That being said, the phone is so much better and easier
[General Topics] lagoboss:
Thanks for the reply. My card is a ventra upass that defaults to a regular transit card when I'm not in school. It has a hefty replacement fee. I'm going to test it out today on the blue line.

Wish me luck
