[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edhoward:
I'm sure this is the million dollar question but has anyone heard any news on a tether mod for the sprint note 3 with the 4.4.2 build ending in NAB? Hate to bug you but i haven't been able to find anything across the forums yet. Also wondering is there a mod to change the boot animation to get ride of the Sprint Boot or would I have to flash a new rom to do that?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krystianp:
I became owner of RAZR HD recently, unfortunatelly locked with latest firmware. I have some basic knowledge in reverse engineering and kernel development, so I decided to look into Dan Rosenberg's work. My question is are there any devs/hobbists who played with it? I tried to contact Dan but he's not responding, so I guess I'm all alone with it, am I? I'm especially interested in smc command handling. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Krystian
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Playb3yond:
No one is wanting to go back into unlocking another bootloader, rather you should try looking into downgrading the trustzone (tz) partition to the unlockable version. That would be greatly appreciated.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krystianp:
You might not want to go back but I do want to go back into unlocking another bootloader. Why do you think downgrading trustzone partition would be easier than exploiting bootloader?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] progrockguy:
kexec might be easier than finding another qcom exploit to unlock the bootloader. Hashcode was giving it a shot, but without uart he was working blind and then Dan's exploit changed everything.

Beware of downgrading since you're locked. I remember a few bricking on the Atrix hd.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
The problem is, Dan's work was finding an exploit. Pure and simple. it was not meant to happen, but he found a way to make it happen. Once Moto knew of this, they put out a patch so that anyone in the future who hadn't unlocked their bootloader would never be able to again. That exploit was a million in one chance of being there. It's not like he cracked the encryption key. That's an even more impossible feat.

No developer is going to put their time and effort into an old phone like the RAZR HD.

Kexec would be nice (using Safestrap recovery like on the RAZR and RAZR MAXX XT912 phones), but even that takes time to figure out how to make it work. I doubt people are willing to put much time and effort into this what with all the new phones that have been released since the HD was released.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentfusion:
Ok, here is the problem...

I used ioroot, flashed the proper aboot, flashed twrp 2.7.0.0, and then everything was fine on my old G2. I could flash any rom and radio i wanted with no problem. Then i accidentally killed my phone with the ZVC ota.

Fast forward a week later and i have my replacement phone... Repeat the same steps as before... And now, some roms and radios kill my recovery and leave me stuck with fastboot until i flash a new recovery from my computer.

I can flash d3rp-g2 bareback, mahdi and slimkat, but aoenflex kills it and so does any ZVA radio.

Does anyone know what's causing this?

Had my case come in and thought I should take some pictures and share with you guys. It's a flip cover from Poetic called the Flipbook. I usually prefer this type of case because I like to have a physical cover to protect the screen. This case feel well made. I'm a fan of the faux leather material and it has a good grippy texture. The cover opens easily and rest close and flat, which is the most important thing when it comes to flip cases. I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoy flip cases.

Recover your google account password to see if you can sync them back. Otherwise, that's it, you don't have a backup, so not sure what you want to do.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
Flashing a custom rom without wipes is usually a no go. If you didn't end up with a bootloop it's most probably because the zip made the necesary wipes, or it deleted the stock messaging and contact apps before replacing them with the rom's own apps.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mitio:
Hello

I own a Samsung I8262 (Galaxy Core) and an 8GB microsd card. The card was previously formatted for usage with Link2SD for my old device. I now want to just format it and make it one fat32 8GB partition, but I am facing problems. In short: the HP USB Disk formatting tool says the device is write protected, even though it is not, Partition Magic's Mini Tool says the whole card is "bad", giving no options for actions, Windows' disk tool claims it is constantly busy, gParted gets stuck before even managing to detect any disks, and OpenSUSE's standard disk tool gives a ridiculous sounding error about wrong block size. As a last resort, I decided to try Aparted on Android with the card in the phone. It keeps claiming the card is still mounted even after I have unmounted it from "Settings". After closer examination in Terminal Emulator, I noticed mount says that some block device (/dev/block/vold/179:33) is still mounted in the folder for the external sd card. So, I am trying to unmount it from the terminal, but even with proper syntax, and superuser permissions, I get "failed: Invalid parameter". I am ready to write this card off as a goner, but since it is less then a year old, I was hoping someone might present another solution.

Thanks in advance for any input.

[Moto X Q&A] sirlancealot77:
First of all my Moto X is a stock nothing has been modified. My provider is Verizon running the latest version of android as far as I know.

The problem I'm facing is that my phone is stuck on the Motorola M and powered by android screen when you first start the phone. I first thought it was in an infinite boot loop because no matter what I did from the phone it would not get off that screen. I tried going into the boot options by holding the power button and the volume down screen this was successful, but selecting any of the options form the list would result in the phone returning to the screen with the Motorola symbol on it and powered by android. The battery is now all the way drained and will not charge it seems. The battery is at 0% screen appears sometimes plugged into the charger then the Motorola symbol screen with the powered by android screen will come on until the phone runs out of power. Mind you this is while the phone is connected to the charger via the wall outlet. Also sometimes the phone boots up normally but after 10-60 seconds the phone turns off and returns to the Motorola symbol screen with the powered by android at the bottom.

I have been trying all day to get it to do some things. I have successfully gotten in to boot in safe mode and it still powers off and returns to the Motorola screen with the powered by android. I have got it to boot in recovery mode and I wiped the cache. I have not done a hard reset yet because I cant get it to go past the Motorola screen with the powered by android at the bottom.

I said what the heck and tried to flash a new ROM onto the phone but the phone isn't detected on the computer by gda so I never did anything with flashing.

Any solutions would be much appreciated.
[Moto X Q&A] Q9Nap:
the stock logo/bootanimation does not say "powered by android", so if yours does, it is modified.

if it doesn't get past the boot logo, you will likely need to flash at least the system partition with fastboot or rsd lite. although, if your battery is very low, flashing will probably not work. here is a solution to allow flashing with a low battery:

http://shop.teamblackhat.info/Factory-Adapters-motadapt.htm

if it does get past the boot logo, but boot loops on the animation, you probably just need to wipe data and cache in recovery (same as hard reset from the settings menu).
[Moto X Q&A] sirlancealot77:
Not modified.

I haven't done any modifications to the phone or had anyone do anything to it. Maybe this is the animation screen it is getting stuck on the big M and the powered by android at the bottom? Would you still suggest flashing the system partition?
[Moto X Q&A] Cyphir:
This in incorrect. Motorola recently updated their apps and in turn changed the boot logo and animation. it is all over the forums.

Download and install Motorola Device Manager on your computer. Then put your phone in bootloader mode, then plug it into your computer and start MDM. It should attempt to repair your phone.
[Moto X Q&A] Travisdroidx2:
Question, since you have experience with MDM. Do you need to be fully stock to use MDM. For example if I have TWRP will it just write over my previous images or will it fail like a OTA would?

I agree getting the stock images right away would be nice. I have always received them from Moto within a day when requested but I do see the advantages of getting it right away for safe keepings. I always make sure to have a copy of my most recent images to return to stock. I have always used fastboot or Mfastboot since the gnex, I stay away from toolkits, but it sounds like MDM is Moto's version of their toolkit?
[Moto X Q&A] JulesJam:
I believe it will fail.

---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------

From what I am reading on the Motorola forums, Motorola has still not produced the 5.0 stock images, just kit kat.

---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

I don't know what your definition of a tool kit is but MDM is a piece of software produced by Motorola that can run some sort of diagnostic on your phone and either update it to the latest version of the software or repair it if your system is damaged.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YamiWheeler:
I bought a Sony Xperia Z1 (C6903) on eBay, and it came installed with Kitkat.

I decided I wanted to root the device and install a custom ROM before I used it much, so I followed a guide on XDA and flashed it with the 14.1.G.1.534 build using Flashtool. (I had to install several drivers to get Flashtool to work.)

After that, I attempted to root it using Vroot, but the program didn't work (the error message was in Chinese, and when I clicked the supplied link, it was something about enabling USB debugging, which I had already done.) I then tried Kingo Android ROOT, which tried to download drivers for the phone, but always failed, so I downloaded and installed them manually as suggested. Kingo Android ROOT then did the same thing as Vroot, and told me to enable USB debugging, even though it was already enabled.

I tried reflashing it using Flashtool and trying again, but same issue.

I finally got fed up and tried to just upgrade to Kitkat again using the Software Updates feature in Phone info, but now the phone fails every time I try to update! It starts, enters the Android update screen, and then reboots a few seconds in. When the phone loads again, it says the update failed and asks me to redownload the file. I tried this several times, including leaving the phone off for a while before upgrading, and making sure it was at full charge AND on AC power, but still nothing.

So, to sum up, I can't root my phone, I can't upgrade my phone and I'm stuck on an outdated version of stock Android. I'm really frustrated with this and am hoping someone can help me.

I'm beginning to think this is a driver issue, because I installed several drivers in an attempt to get Flashtool to work, but I don't know how to fix this. I used USBDeview to remove several drivers from my computer. After doing this, I plugged in my Xperia Z1 and it installed "C6903" on my computer, but it also prompted me to install software on the phone screen, but each time I click Install, it doesn't do anything...

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahki767:
Don't know how to uninstall the drivers (maybe in device manager?) but make sure you installed the correct ones from the flashtool drivers folder. The first time you plugged your phone in with usb debugging on, did the phone show anything about rsa keys?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YamiWheeler:
Not to my knowledge, no. :/
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
I suggest you need those drivers.

Firstly you need to read more. Vroot is NOT a trusted way to root your phone. It send your IMEI address to an ip address in chice for no known reason.

Secondly, there is no need to root on .534 FW, that's the point of downgrading to it. Just install the dual recovery whilst on that FW and then flash SuperSU.zip from chainfires website.

Then just flash a 4.4 rom of your choice.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahki767:
Well i'm sure if the drivers ain't installed correctly you wouldn't be able to flash anyways so i don't think its a driver problem. try flashing .534 again and turn on usb debugging and plug your phone in with the screen on and see if there's any pop up

Edit: Just saw gregs reply, totally forgot this method but yes try installing nuts dualrecovery
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YamiWheeler:
Wow, after all of the various options I tried, the Dual Recovery worked, even when nothing else on my system was recognizing the phone. Thank you so much. I managed to install Superuser too, but how do I flash a ROM at this point? By starting the dual recovery again?

Forgive my lack of knowledge of this, the only thing I've ever rooted was a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini, and that process seemed a lot simpler than this. :/ At least, before your method.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahki767:
