[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] htc_softbank:
I found a way to downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.1 or 4.0.4 stock. (for Bell).

I bought and used Mobile Odin (available on the play store). Anyhow, it flashes the stock rom and not the old bootloaders. Once you're on 4.1.1 or 4.0.4 the problem is that *#197328640# no longer works. Basically when you type that ServiceMode comes up, but all the options are gone. I believe this is because they locked those features on the new bootloader (which is still on the phone after the Mobile Odin downgrade...)

Unlocking this phone has become a major pain in the ass.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
You are quite right. Sam and the networks are winning this time. You can indeed use Mobile Odin to downgrade the system (ROM). However, there hasn't been any reports of a successful downgrade of the bootloader. Therefore, even if you downgrade without bricking the phone, you can't free unlock. Tough but you will need a carrier unlock code.

Hello all,

I know that there are some other posts about this but I just can't get the hand of it.

I have bricked my defy and the only way to make it run again is to flash a sort of chinese sbf that I can't find anymore. All that I flash say that they flash ok and pass but phone is not booting up

I have tried some of the files from here

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=27 and some others

Could you please guide me to the sbf file to flash to reconver my define and the procedure to root it and perhaps install defo ROM or CM7

Thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slim Shady:
Okay i have a question regarding firmware flashing.

i want to know that whether after flashing this firmware with modified hboot http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/3-63-707-4_firmware_darkboot-zip/ and then flashing a stock unmodifed hboot v1.44 will lead to hard brick or not ??

P.S Just got my phone back from repairing for Jtag brick cause of changing the mid with modified hboot so afraid to flash stuff but i have to cause my mid is PN0711000 and there is no RUU for this model.Currently if someone can provide a stock firmware the above mentioned build i will be very grateful.As the phone is asking for IMSI number which i entered but still keeps on asking again for it even after reboot.The current firmware i have flashed is this one http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/3-22-1540-1_firmware-zip/

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
short answer is no .. going s-on with a modified hboot will brick your phone

being your s-off you can go back to whatever hboot you want and change your MID and CID to what ever you want

Tnx worked perfectly even changed to stock hboot without any problems.
[HTC One X] r33fd:
I don't know if enyone encountered this but I thing there is a bug with either with gyroscope calibration / accuracy or new google camera

I recently tried the photosphere and panorama on cm11 and I noticed that direction is changing kinda random so when I took a shot it isn't aligned correctly with others and all ends up in a mess .

If google camera works well for you then how can I reset the gyroscope / compass ?
[HTC One X] r33fd:
Most likely something it's wrong with gyroscope indeed . I tried other apps and like teeter or lane spliter and it's not very precise .

I hope it's not hardware fault so does anyone know a software solution to correct this ?

Any idea appreciated !
[HTC One X] Geatre:
This is probably not anything to go after, but:

When I first installed the Google Camera app and tried it out, it worked as you would expect. Wasn't perfect, but definitly didn't "drift away" by itself while capturing a panorama/sphere. When I tried watching a sphere, the app prompted me to download "google services" from play store, which then let me watch the sphere.

But now I have the same problem with "drifting away" gyro, as you have.

So maybe the google services is messing with the gyro when using photo sphere/panorama.
[HTC One X] omondisingh:
I have the same issue. The gyro world's fine for a few seconds then it starts drifting away. I've always had this issue.
[HTC One X] nIGhT-SoN:
I have this problem too on S2 Plus. Trying to take a panoramic picture but the image drifts by itself to the left.
[HTC One X] ZuratonE:
I have the same issue on my 2 years old htc one m7. Also same issue appeared on 1 month old LG G4 !!!

I take the first frame in photospere mode, and then blue dot drifts left or right.
[HTC One X] ZuratonE:
Today I noticed interesting thing: in pthotosphere mode I took first frame and passing bus hit the shot. After that, orientation started sliding to the side where bus was going, although phone was still. So I believe its software issue of application itself. Seems that it is trying to syncronize video flow to compass and somehow fails in it...

Thats what i got [IMG="panorama"]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-P0PyTSLsg2stlgZrcLtsqek23keOvyxciI8LQx0-7IAJKThqfGfCGM5247y018kOvKz2c6QWI9zUjPj95BjDQ=w1342-h523-rw[/IMG]

[Xperia Z General] luluchambler:
Hello there, this should probably not be worth an own topic, but i thought it could be helpful for others alike me, looking for a quick

and cheap solution to use your XPERIA Z on your Motorbike to Navigate through the Streets.

I first (sucessfully) attempted a "prototype" case in which i basically build up a "negative" case, that just flipped right over the Xperia Z and the Dockinstation, basically like a cassete-case:

But i had my doubts that it would probably not withstand a bigger fall (yet to happen ;)) and the the mini-usb Port on the Dockingstation would be prone to rain if not siliconized properly.

So... i kept looking around and probably found _THE_ sollution or more precisely the case that just fits the dockingstation and the xperia both inside and is sturdy enough to withstand a fall alike some mayor rain falling on top of it :)

It's the PELICAN 1040 Case!

I first had my doubts if the "grid-like" bars at the translucent front would allow to have a clear view, but yep, it absolutelly has, you just have to remove the sticker.

And then the Xperia-Z+Dockingstation fit in like its been designed just for this purpose, you just need a right-angled Micro-USB Cable as there isnt that much space to fit in a straight one.

Just drill a hole, push it trough the box so that it is centered as precise as possible and then plug in the dockingstation to see if everything fits okay.

Then clean everything with rubbing alcohol and after that apply enought silicon so that it sits in there and want come out that easy.

I used some sand-paper to grind it up a bit and give it more grip on both sides.

The way mount it unto your bike, depends on your bike and the way you like it most, i justed used some absolutelly standard Motorbike-Mount fixed by four screws (drilled trough the back of the pelican-box) that sits just in front of the spedo

Like this basically just thinner aluminum.

I will make some pictures as soon as iam able to get my hands on a secondary camera (wouldnt make sense to take a picture of an empty box with my xperia :laugh::silly:

Hope this might help someone, that is probably thinking about something similiar! :cowboy:

[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] Siddhesh.K15:
His problem has been solved quite time before.The problem was while flashing via sp tool the flashing process was interrupted because of power failure or something. In such case your pc wont detect your mobile. But that doesn't mean that the device is bricked. All you need to to is uninstall drivers restart your pc and again install the drivers. It will work again:laugh:

So, i actually ran into some problem when trying to flash the ROM. I got the "format() expects 5 args, got 3" error (status 7 error). I know this is not your ROM's problem because i also get this error before too when flashing stock ROM. But any chance that you know what is causing this?:laugh: I previously use CM11.

I edited update-script to match 5 args but it gave me another error "set_perm some changes failed".

However, I am still able to boot by flashing a stock 4.3 ROM and then flash your ROM, and now i am playing with your ROM :p:p:p:p seems pretty smooth to me, and the contact does force closed when i opened it, and it still force closed even after i clear cache :(:(:(

I got the same error with the AppFeatures with a clean flash, though the Rom seems to be working. I'm going to download again and flash again.

Update: Second download generates same error.

How critical are these app features? What do they do?

Two other questions:

Is is possible to replace the T-Mobile boot animation? Where can one put one's own animation file? In AOSP Roms it's under System/Media.

Like the ported Sprint TW Rom, this one doesn't allow the phone to be docked while powered off. It boots back up. Can that be changed?

Thanks.

Please do us a favour and let your phone go completely dead. Full charge it and use it normally for a day without charging it and post a screen shot of the battery usage section under settings when you get down to about 3%. I'll do the same as well. I just want to compare it to what I am already getting with kt747. I was pulling 14 hours with 5 hours and 25 minutes of screen times on kt747. And thank you for confirming the bootloader and modem combo... That's awesome.
