I'm out of ideas then. Just use another machine to flash your phone or install another os on your machine :P
[General Questions and Answers] kensama:
I had same problem but resolved it like this:

1- Open Nautilus in root mod via

sudo nautilus

then enter your password

2- Go to \home\username\FlashTool then delete all file of FlashTool folder

3- Download FlashTool 0.9.11.0 HERE then FlashTool 0.9.16.0 HERE

4- Go to Oracle site to download Java 64 Bits HERE

5- Always in root mod in Nautilus go to /usr/local then copy the tar gz file of Java 64 bits then uncompressed it in folder.

6- Once the file uncompressed right click on folder of Java folder and copy to to placed Java Folder in FlashTool folder.

7- Reinstall FlashTool files of 0.9.11.0 version in FlashTool Folder then make the same for FlashTool 0.9.16.0

If all works you will be able to launch the new version.

for me it works ;)

i guess he did...and there lies the problem...i think your only solution is a hard reset.....

nextime, load spb Pocket plus software first....it has a "safe Mode" startup if the device has worked for less than a minute....

i.e. if you put a too big number, and the device freezes at startup, at the next restart it will ask you if you want to boot into safe mode...and therefore not load the omap.exe...

"How to hard-reset your HTC Wizard

Published Tuesday, December 27, 2005 4:47 PM

I had to hard-reset (not the first time) my Qtek 9100 today (I was futzing with system stuff and I zigged when I should have zagged), so I thought I would blog about it for those searching for an option other than 'Clear Storage'.

Option 1:

Start > Settings > Clear Storage (then enter in the number it requests and tap 'YES')

Option 2:

Hold down the Comm Manager button(top left) and Voice Command button(top right) buttons while performing a soft-reset (depress the reset button using the stylus); after you depress the soft-reset button, [contintue to hold the two side buttons] hold down the navigation pad for ~4 seconds until you are prompted on screen [you can release the side buttons now]. Press the Send (Talk) button (i.e. the left telephony button) - or whichever button your system prompts you for.

FWIW, I have seen unsubstantiated claims that Option 2 is a 'more thorough' hard-reset than Option 1...

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ememeh:
Hi all,

TL;DR - My questions can be boiled down to: Is my tablet defective in some physical way, or can I sort it out by rooting, flashing a good custom ROM, and being less picky?

I'm wondering if you can help me decide whether my tab is a defective unit. There's lots of talk in the threads about whether certain problems are by design or by fault, whether hardware or software based, etc. In light of those disagreements, I'm a bit unsure what to do with my GPad.

My situation

:

I bought a Grade A refurbished GPad the other day (it's a no fault customer return - as new). Its S/N begins 310, so one of the earlier batches I presume. I'm running Stock 4.4.2, not rooted.

My problems

:

Light bleed: I don't have 7 *clearly* defined lights, but I definitely have light from that edge affecting the screen (see attached pics). Most of the time, it's not too annoying, and I can maybe live with it. Seems like more general bleed even at the top of the tab in portrait mode, and on black screens/high brightness.

Yellow tint: My screen is *very* warm, in a colour sense. Again, most of the time I'm not too fussed -- it's only when I see whites alongside my Nexus 4 that I realise how yellow/orange my screen is (unless my Nexus is exceptionally blue, of course).

Dark blacks: When watching TV shows with lots of dark scenes (like Buffy), the display really struggles to show clearly what's going on -- the darks just melt into each other in a black mess.

Netflix: I'm getting pretty noticeable lip-sync issues on even old SD streaming (again, Buffy); I cannot resize the Netflix player without it blocking half the screen off with a grey band; I'm getting lots of skipped frames too -- HD content through Netflix is not what I hoped it would be (and was on the Nexus 7 I sold to buy this).

Questions

:

1. Do others have these problems -- do any of them come as a package (as it were)? So, is there a connection between, say, dark blacks and yellow tint, or yellow tint and bleed worries?

2. If so, what S/N do you have? I'm starting to think that later models aren't actually any better, but I'm curious anyway.

3. Do any or all of these things have software fixes? I've got a screen filter running which takes some of the yellow off, but not much. I could go for increasing minimum brightness, but a) I like low brightness settings; b) some of the bleed is on black screens on high brightness settings (watching movies, e.g.). If you're running a custom ROM, do any of them work well with Netflix?

4. Ultimately, is it worth my trouble trying my luck with a new unit?

Any advice you can offer would be much appreciated!
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aicjofs:
Obviously some screen questions are subjective but to me:

1. I've never had much of the bleed problem personally, it's there just much smaller. The color(yellow) and gamma(darker darks) on this tab were a big problem on 4.2.2 for me. The 4.4.2 update (20a and 20b) really helped the color, there was a 18 leak that really improved the gamma but was LG unofficial.

2. Don't have it with me but mine was towards the mid lower end of SN.

3. There are a few fixes that help the situation. Run the 18 kernel on 4.4.2(requires tablet software modding of course), I personally built my own kernel based on 20b that boosts the gamma from 1.8-2.0 to 2.2-2.3. The screen looks pretty nice. I was working with changing the LED backlight drive to give a better brightness range but honestly the screen looks really beautiful.

4. If you look at the common complaints with this tablet I'm thinking your chances of getting a better one are not in your favor.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ememeh:
Did you think from my screens that the bleed was particularly bad? It bugs me when watching films; sometimes it's extreme. Thanks for the tip about 18 kernal. I've read about that too. I'm tempted to flash the Mahdi ROM though - does that have gamma fixes, you know?

And yeah, so many complaints about screen issues with this tablet. Such a shame. Think I'll stick for a little longer and mull it over.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aicjofs:
Yours looks really noticeable. I felt like mine improved with 18 and my homemade kernel, but it never seemed like it was that bad. I never used Mahdi, just CM11, stock 4.2.2/10b(for a day), stock 18 leak, stock 20 a and b.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whoamigriffiths:
I don't suppose you would be able to make a kernel for cm based roms with the 18 gamma changes?

I reckon you'd have half the forum loving you, including me :)
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeighR:
Any chance you could share the kernel please?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aicjofs:
If it's just the ramdisk that is different it could probably be doable, but I'm not sure the ramification of having the 4.4.2 or 4.2.2 stock as the underlying structure that you have flashed CM over(i.e the other partitions).

I'm up in the air over it. I have some other mods to it, including overclocking for CPU and GPU that I wanted to fine tune better. I have been using it for a couple of days without any major issues, but I don't want to damage anyone's device.

I suppose if you are willing to accept the as-is nature of it, and the fact the CPU speed is bumped to 1.78 from 1.72 I can share(check the commits for other changes). At some point we need to see if the gamma is good across other screens...

Only if you are on 20A or B.....not going to work for CM, Mahdi, etc

MAKE A BACKUP FIRST

3 options in the zip(this isn't a flashable zip) If you want to be testing this I expect you know what to do with the one of the 3 files.

-boot.emmc.win, (loki'd for aboot version a/b) put in a TWRP folder and restore

-lok file. (loki'd for aboot version a/b)

-img file (non loki'd if you have a different aboot and need to loki yourself)

For anyone unsure how to flash the kernel, I changed the name of boot.emc.win to boot.img and flashed it with flashify. Seems to be working nicely. I had only just upgraded to v20b, so haven't played around with it too much but this kernel seems white and bright :)

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whoamigriffiths:
That would be great.

If you are willing to look at the cm based kernel, I, for one, would be more than happy to test it for you.

I'm sure one or two of the guys would also be happy to test for you too.

As an aside, I am currently running mahdi kernel on infecteds cm11, as some changes cm have made lately, are causing a few issues. So these cm based kernels certainly seem to be swappable.

Thanks again in advance.

Oh and please don't feel that you are obliged to do anything for the cm roms.

I can well appreciate the extra work involved for you. I'm just being a cheeky sod ;)

All the best rich
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vimesUK:
Well done with the sharing of the kernel. I might be tempted to restore my nandroid backup of the rooted stock just to give this a go. But if I did I know that running stock would bother me, after using Infected's build of SlimKat.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeighR:
To be extra cheeky, could you please post the stock 4.4.2 kernel, so that I can switch between the two for testing? If it's a hassle, I can probably try to extract it from one of the ROMs posted.

I saw that LG have made the 20b kernel public but its 96MB and not downloading.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aicjofs:
This will remove the kernel all the modules and install the 20B stock kernel and modules. Should only be used on 20B ROM obviously.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeighR:
Thanks. I did pull the boot.img from the stock ROM and was flashing that back and forth but flashify only allows 3 flashes per day, so this is easier :)

Definitely more white (stock kernel gives people jaundice in pics) and brighter on dark movies

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charles101:
Hi guys

Hope someone can help! After ignoring advice from the Antivirus I picked up it appears a virus, my Samsung S3 mini does not read simcards anymore. The Antivirus told me my IMSI number has been changed, giving me the new and old ones. A motherboard replacement and a firmware upgrade did not solve the problem. I hope my phone is still fixable! Thanking you in advance for your help....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Certainly did not get a virus. Especially one that would persist across a motherboard swap. Which, I am a bit confused on... So you did a motherboard swap and have the same exact issue? That could only happen if they swapped the SIM card reader from the old board to the new and that is the faulty part. Other than that, check to see if your IMEI is correct or still there. If the EFS partition gets messed up, it can cause issues like this...but not across motherboard swaps either.

So either someone told you they swapped motherboards and lied to you, or they swapped a bad part over along with it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charles101:
thank you

The repairshop said they changed the motherboard, so i don't suspect them of lying....and i did the firmware upgrade....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Well check the IMEI from behind the battery and in the phone, see if they match. You didn't answer whether or not the IMEI was still there either. And if they actually did change the motherboard, that would be why you would have gotten the message the 2nd time around, if the app had saved your info from before and you restored it. Why are we trusting this anti-virus app anyway? They are known to point out stuff that isn't there or relevant. If they don't report anything, people think there's no reason to install them...

Also, did the repair shop charge you for the motherboard swap and gave you back the phone not working still with the same issue? Something just seems really off about this. I do repairs for a living and couldn't imagine that going down in that manner at my shop.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charles101:
hi

Hi Es0

I did not enquire too much at the repair shop, they just told me that a motherboard swop did not fix the fault and i accepted it at the time. The IMEI number matches except the slashes in the number at the back of the battery don't appear in the IMEI number displayed on the screen. The repairshop charged me not a cent and the phone came back same as i took it in...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Ah ok. They just swapped yours back in afterwards it would seems. But there's no way that the other motherboard would do the same thing unless it was broken in the same way and/or they were using the same SIM card reader, which of course, wouldn't make any sense and would defeat half the purpose of swapping it in the first place. I think you need a second opinion from another shop.

You've tested it with other cards as well?

Put your card in another phone to make sure that is still functioning properly?

When you look in the Settings / About Phone / Status - Does it show the phone # and ICCID #?

Do you get a 0 with a / through it at the top for the signal?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charles101:
Hi Es0

The card works fine in a Samsung Pocket at the moment. By # do you mean number ( sorry i am not up with the jargon...) ? Card in the Pocket now and by "my phone number" says "unknown". I don't see any reference to ICCID on either phone! And am not sure where to look for the 0 with a / through it !! Sorry if i am trying your patience here....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
I mean your telephone number. If the card reader was not working at all, it would not be able to pick up your # off the card to display in the Settings / About Phone / Status part. But it is weird that the card in your other phone reads unknown. Have you tried another SIM in the phone in question? It could just be that the SIM card is being weird. I've seen them work on some phones and not others. The 0 with / would be in the Status Bar for the signal bars - next to the battery icon, etc.

Have you modded the phone at all?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charles101:
Hi Es0

Ok here goes....at first i tried different simcards with the same network operator with no success, this morning (South Africa time) I rethought your advice about trying other simcards, this time from other network operators....VOILA!! All it was is that the phone got locked to the other network again!! Probably by the Anti-virus app.... well i never!!!! So there you have it ...!!

If you can advise me about unlocking my Samsung S3 mini (on Cell C in South Africa) I would be very grateful!

Thank you again for your excellent advice...! Very much appreciated

Glad you're on the right track. :) As far as unlocking, you can try the instructions here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2082626

Seems like with most Samsung unlocks like these, it is very dependent on the build version of the software and the cellular company. If you are on 4.1.2, and it is not working, see if you can find a 4.1.1 modem and try again. That works in many of the phones I have unlocked with this kind of method. If that doesn't work, you're going to need an unlock code. If you aren't sure where to get that, check out my site and send me a message.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charles101:

hmmmm I put the other network simcard in, made a test phone call... worked fine! so I thought its sorted now...now the fault is sort of on again.

Hi! I hope this is being posted in the correct place first and foremost.

I'm pretty pissed to find out today that EE will not be releasing the KitKat update for my G2 :(

I received an email from LG confirming this and so replied with the obvious question 'How can I do it then please? '.

They said I would need to get my phone unlocked from EE. Now, being a complete noob when it comes to this sort of thing I don't really know what I'm doing. So I have a couple of questions I'd like to ask before I attempt any unlocking.

1. Once I've managed to unlock my phone can I still use the Sim Card that came with it? I have a 24 month contract with EE and can't really afford to run two tariffs.....

and

2. Is there not an easier way to go about getting KitKat? I had a Galaxy S2 and when I wanted to upgrade the firmware on there I used ODIN. But I can't seem to find a way that is similar to that for LG phones.......

Hello there

I recently seemed to have messed up my fonts somehow. Basically, whenever i change a font on my device, everything changes OK except for the clock on the status bar. The clock seems to have stuck to one font and will not change to the font you select. It used to work fine and i believe it happened to me before but somehow i managed to fix it.

My phone is rooted and i used an app called iFonts to install new fonts.

I don't know which font needs resetting (clockopia.ttf perhaps?) but i might benefit from a complete dump of the original fonts folder.

Does anybody have a clue on how to fix this issue?
