That's a good idea. It would definitely make things a lot more clear, especially for new members.

This quote from Rick Cook's Wizadry series brings back memories. I loved that series when I was a kid. You should add it as a sig. :good:
[Nexus 7 General] GedBlake:
That's a pretty good idea I think... the problem with the N7 is that there are two different versions of a tablet with the same name. Whilst there a lot of similarities, there are also critical differences. A 'noob' (used non-pejoratively - weren't we all 'noobs' once) may seek to flash factory stock on their device... and not thinking it relevant, or they may not know it's importance sufficiently to disclose it in their original post. And thus, they may then receive incorrect advice that could potentially 'brick' their device... such as fastboot flashing a 'grouper' bootloader on a 2013 Nexus 7.

If both devices fell under the same 'umbrella' forum name of Nexus 7, then I think this would mitigate against incorrect advice being given.

Anyway... just my couple of cents... and based on the number of times I've had to redirect next doors mail, it certainly sounds like a good idea.

Rgrds,

Ged.

I think we redirect people on a daily basis its the ones that slip through the net or follow forums without actually posting that worry me. It may be worth re posting this in the nexus7 2013 forum although I think they will get less confused posts due to the forum title.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvnatic:
I have a stock n9005 note, still on jb out of the box. I'm planning on rooting it and keep it that way until there's a safe way to root on 4.4.2.

Are there any noticeable differences, on daily usage, between the 2 os versions?

I know kk manages memory better and has other improvements under the hood, but how SIGNIFICANT is it?

Hi there, happens to be my first post here. Have installed succesfully Cyanogen Mod succesfully but now my p350 doesnt detect my sim card, dont know exactly why and cant figure it out, I am new to android, would aprreciate any sugestions, thanks there in advance.

[LG Optimus Me P350] juancamisani:
Hi there, thanks for the response.

I have installed this Cynogen Mod ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2263963

And also this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1971158, which has recognized the sim card but still cant use my network.

Been reading a few things and now I feel inclined to try sim unlocking it, but dont know very well which road to take:

# Baseband: I suppose no, that handles radio and gps, no?

# Firmware: I think maybe that can work, but not sure, some info link?

# Editing files like build.prop?

# What about permissions?

Is there a way? Some guy has done it here apparently: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1365486, but wasnt kind enough to say how.

[LG Optimus Me P350] juancamisani:
It actually worked, I was able to change the firmware more than once, but I was able to chan it to official firwares which actually remains locked, changes only the company of use. Now, I suppose the sim to be locked or not to be will depend of the .kdz file of use. Can recommend one that will do the unlocking? Thanks, you have been very helpful.
[LG Optimus Me P350] theprakhar:
Bro, I think to unlock network ,

ROOT and install a ROM ...It might work ...:rolleyes:

P.S.-if u want funky rom ...check mine http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2045150 and don't forget to replace the original build.prop with this http://www.mediafire.com/download/91e4ds0x1pc0p19/build.prop[its not for unlocking but for increasing performance]...
[LG Optimus Me P350] juancamisani:
Ok, will continue to try some differents roms. Thanks for the links, the roms looks cool. I am just trying to find a certain way to unlock it, maybe there isn't an "unlocked" firmware, maybe itsn't possible. That variant that maybe unlocks it has to have a background. Anyway, the lock code for the IMEI unlock seems to be hackeable somehow, if there is a code to introduce that unlocks it, there is a rainbow table that holds it, no? Will continue trying and update if success. Thanks theprakhar for all the answers, good day gentlemens.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] cidriver:
Could you be more especific? The memomy is after installation or what.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] infor69:
isn't 128 because that space have operative system and all other rom programs
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] levenum:
To be a bit more precise, when they write 128MB ROM on the box what they really mean is:

64MB (approx.) BOOTLOADER + OS + RADIO

10MB Extended ROM (could be salvaged with a registry tweak)

Whatever is left - storage, but keep in mined about 10+ MB worth of stuff is installed from ext ROM after hard reset.

42.55 MB free storage pretty clean device, but I think you have a whole lot of stuff running in the background as I usually have about 22MB program memory after soft reset.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Astinog:
I have a problem with my moto g and I'm a bit scared. I installed Paranoid Android following this thread

I had signal problems and I tried to solve it searching on internet. I found this thread. I installed first 355.66.00R - Retail EU (Feb 2014) Radio, but nothing happened. Then I tried to install the Retail EU 3.4.0-gc6fc9e1 (Feb 2014) Kernel for my XT1032 and after that I cannot boot any rom. I tried to reinstall the Paranoid Android Rom with Sideload of TWRP, but nothing happened (the PA symbol remains on the screen for a long time). I tried to restore stock firmware with this guide but again, the screen shows just the warning for the unlocked bootloader over and over (it turns up with that screen, then shut down and reboot with that screen)

I really hope I didn't destroy everything in there! I can still access TWRP, but I don't know what to do now!

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _longy_:
This happened to me when I flashed a N7100 rom to my N7105 by mistake, to get it to work again,I unrooted my device, then I installed samsung Kies, from in Kies I went to "Tools" and "Firmware upgrade and initialisation".

It will ask for the serial number under your battery so have it handy before you do this. You will have to boot into download mode and let

Kies do the rest.

It worked for me, cant hurt to try.

Good luck.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m.b.jikre:
You must have to restore with EFS Professional because there are no same patterns were observed for apps but custom recovery does. Now a days in almost every custom recovery offers efs backup and restore(Philz toch is very well), and this is meant to be a suitable method.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starbury:
Luckily enough it was just a dirty flash! I guess the EFS was still intact and it was just a bad ROM installation.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Domster26:
I recently purchased a tempered glass screen protector for my nexus 5. From using it so far I love most everything about it. It feels just like the screen without a screen protector and does not smudge is easily as the other screen protectors I would use. Since I'm used to paying a lot less for screen protectors I took a lot of time to apply the screen protector. I took about 30 minutes, but it was worth it since I applied it perfectly. Not a piece of dust, so straight it looks like the screen itself. However as soon as I applied it I was disappointed to see these weird patterns under the screen. I said spider webs because that is the best term I can think of to describe them. It almost looks like little circles of fiber are under the screen. The biggest one has a little rainbow circle in the middle surrounded by what looks like a spider web. Any help would be appreciated.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Termic:
It's moisture - did you apply it in a wet environment? I applied mine in a bathroom after running a hot shower (to settle the dust) and ended up with something that looks exactly like this.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Domster26:
Bump. I just need to know if it is a faulty screen protector so I can return it
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divinewisdom:
Its a known issue with the N5. Almost everyone has the spider web with the tampered glass, especially by the mic. You might be able to get rid of it by using binder clips or some sort of clips and leave it over night.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Domster26:
I was in a bathroom since it has the least dust but it was dry at the time. I did wipe it down with 70% isopropyl rubbing alcohol. I didn't notice any left at the time and I figure it would have all evaporated quickly anyways. What did you end up doing with yours?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Domster26:
I heard about the binder clip thing, but I'm way too protective of my phone and would honestly just rather buy another screen protector.I wasn't aware the problem is common in the n5. Thanks for the input!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharpehenry:
Don't buy the same screen protector. You'll get the same result. Mine also have that little dimple on the bottom right portion on my phone. If you must, get the iloom flex glass or similar kind. It goes on your screen without air bubble trapped unlike the non bendable glass protector. Hope this helps.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_slasher:
you can try massaging them just like getting rid of bubbles from a plastic screen protector. applying pressure using your fingers.

if you don't want to use binders, you can use clothespin with a cloth in between to apply pressure.

I initially had them but after doing the above I got rid of it and it never came back.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel.kusy:
It could well be a faulty screen protector. Which brand did you buy? I had an identical problem with my spigen tempered glass screen protector. Luckily they were happy to replace/refund it as it was known to have come from the original, faulty batch they initially released around the release date of the nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justinisloco:
Its not faulty, I'm very OCD myself, and I had the same thing with a tempered glass screen protector from Anker.

It took about a week of gentle massaging, and rubbing, but it comes out. You just need to keep rubbing it...

DO NOT SAY THATS WHAT SHE SAID

But seriously... thats all
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaco81:
may need the "glue" to take care of it...

use a hair drier and get it warm... then use pressure and come clothe clips... i think a binder clip is too strong

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
I used a small adjustable wrench with cloth covering the back of phone and the glass. With it you decide how firm its clamped. ;)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Domster26:
An update to provide info to those in the future. Not wanting to try anything with my phone until trying out a new one, I contacted the person who sold it to me. The eBay seller kindly sent me a new one, so as soon as I got it, I applied it. I was even more careful, and was frustrated every time it was half a millimeter off. Once again, I applied it perfectly. I put my finger on the center of it, and watched it slowly stick. My heart dropped when it revealed the bubbles, in the identical spots as they were in before. Not to mention the biggest one seems bigger and there is a slight patterned line in the middle. I haven't decided yet. I might try the methods everyone provided (Thanks!), or I will get myself a nice spigen one. I think it might have been because it was some cheap protector. The pictures are below.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Semantics:
I used binder clips but I used a thick microfiber cloth before I put the binder clip on and it worked 100%. I had a small area near the camera at the top and placed a MF cloth over it and used the end of a ball point pen (Not the tip) and put pressure on it and it disappeared. It's now been 1 month and its still flawless.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
If you don't clamp and leave it clamped for 20 minutes or so on those bubbles, they will likely appear on any glass protector. Its a widely know n5 screen issue.

A binder clip....or a medium adjustable wrench work great. Careful not to over tighten and break the glass tho. And use padding....cloth.

Some guys here keep returning them, thinking they are all defective adhesive in the exact same spots. Lol. Especially the well known big spot to the right of the led.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bioan:
I had the same issue like you. You have to take the back cover off and unscrew the bolt that is under to bubble. The screen is fitted with 4 bolts at the bottom. It is too tightened.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Domster26:
I probably wouldn't want to try it until I had tried the binder clip, but doesn't taking off the back cover void your warranty?

So, I wanted to flash stock firmware and ended up doing something wrong and kept getting "No OS installed" in TWRP (newest version). I couldnt flash anything and my 1st gen Kindle fire would get stuck on "kindle fire" logo. Finally mounted the tablet via TWRP and transfered the latest nightly of CM to the tablet. After flashing it, I am getting an error saying "E:Cannot mount /data" Now when I boot I get the CM boot logo (YAY! progress) but it is stuck in bootloop at the logo. I've tried KFU and the Unbrick utility, but the unbrick utility keeps saying "device offline" even though when I use "adb devices" from CMD it lists it as there. I'm glad I finally got past the kindle fire logo, but now I'm stuck at CM logo. Is this do to the error about not being able to mount data? How can I fix this?

Unlock phone, sim, root, odin, flash cwm, flash twrp, use your "unique key", wtf?

Excuse me. I do this a couple times every year or so and I'm still confused as to what's going on? And why do I have to keep doing it? I just got a new AIO sim card and it requires some code to unlock. Does that mean my phone unrooted itself when I flashed the latest stock rom in here, which btw finally a fully functional ROM, go figure... And what's the difference between using odin and this code sequence from the dialer method I found somewhere where you punch in a long *#blablabla# code which puts you in the matrix where you do a little dance here and there then viola your sim is unlocked? Anyway, if these are all unrelated, what is this unlocking my sim business and when the heck does rooting actually occur within the maze of steps Odin takes you. And why all this after I flashed the stock rom? It's supposed to retain your rooted state still no?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ShaDisNX255:
So let me see if I understand your statement. You flashed another ROM... and then got a new SIM for your phone, but when you turned it on it will ask you for an unlock code? Rooting and unlocking are two different things, you can be rooted and not unlocked... so what you need to do is follow the unlocking method. Or... I don't seem to understand what you mean, can you be a little more specific?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] juntjoo:
Sorry. It's confusing. I'm stuck at the sim unlocking part, where you can put in a code from the dialer as shown here: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024514

Unless you know your unique code to unlock your sim whatever that means. So I should still be rooted but now somehow still locked or something? Or is it just the sim that is locked? I'm fine with my old tmobile sim/account in place as in as I'm writing this, but as soon as I pop in my aio sim, back to that thread but id need to install uvle1 but b4 I do all that I just want to know what and why I am doing. Should I continue? What exactly will I be doing? Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] treefrog321:
Sounds like right now your phone is carrier-locked; i.e. your phone will not work with a sim card for a network other than T-mobile's. Rooting will not unlock your phone for use with another carrier's sim card, however, the instructions in the thread you linked in your post will. If you really want to use that AIO sim card without paying for an unlock code from T-mobile or some other source, then the instructions in that thread are probably the best way to make it work. UVLE1 identifies particular modem/radio firmware and stock ROM that needs to be installed on the T989 in order to have access to the menu items required for the unlocking process. You can switch to the most recent radio or any ROM of your choice afterward without losing the ability of an unlocked phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darth:
My friend, you have a lot of studying to do....I'm sorry, but you seem awfully confused. No insults intended.
