[AT&T HTC One (M8)] qqragoon:
AT&T HTC one M8 was bootloader unlocked, S-OFF (i remember), rooted and loaded with MaximusHD 4.0.0. operating pretty good for weeks.

yesterday, not sure what happened, it was powered off when i pulled out from my pocket. battery was around 15% or drained maybe.

then, i had to press and hold power button for 15 seconds to get the screen on. it only goes into bootloader (cannot go to recovery, cannot do normal reboot). This is what it shows now:

***UNLOCKED***

M8_UL_CA PVT SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-3.16.0.0000

OS-

eMMC-boot 2048MB

Feb 27, 2014, 16:20:59.0

tried to move to the recover and boot from there, the phone vibrates and went back to bootloader screen immediately.

tried to use fastboot oem lock, no response.

tried to use fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock.bin, it says success on the remote machine but doing nothing on the phone.

tried to use fastboot flash recovery image, it says remote write error.

cannot do anything with adb command since the phone wasn't boot to anywhere at all.

Anyone had this problem? or i missed something.. thanks.

fastboot erase cache

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

fastboot erase cache

then go to new recovery, let me know your outcome, make sure you grab the official 2.7.0.2 twrp IMG file from their website.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] qqragoon:
That didn't work. no response from the phone at all when I run first two commands.

However, I took the phone and plug into a different charger by accident (2A current), it boots up correctly now.

Still don't know what went wrong. Hope this can help someone in the same situation.

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dna99:
Hi,

after some troubles with updating the ACE II from Gingerbread to JB and then to Kitkat, the system is finally stable.

Unfortunately I still have problems accessing the google play store/ creating and accessing a google account.

I installed Macław/NovaFusion version of CM11.0 and the appropriate gapp (no matter if I use the same homepage or the cm original)

As soon as I want to create/access a google account nothing happens, as soon as I enter Login and Password it seem as if the internet conncetion fails (just no access there)

I tried to install a newer version of both CM11.0 and the gapps (no mather if mini, micro or...) it didn't help.

Do I have to clear anything before the update, to ensure that the gapps finally work?

Thanks for your help!
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lolkac:
Hi guys, i bought a rooted P500 for my younger brother. I made factory reset to delete all the crap previous owner had there. But after the factory reset i got a massage "Sorry! The application Setup Wizard (process com.android.setupwizard)has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

Then my phone loads to a blank screen. It has the status bar at the top of the screen showing the battery, signal strength, ect. and that's it.

I tried dowloand this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2564767 but when i try falsh it, it says no zip files found. I have it on SDCard in the root file. What can i do?

So any help at this point would be greatly appreciated
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmvyas:
I think there is no Launcher on your phone after factory reset.

Try install a launcher, and your phone should be ok.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lolkac:
How should i install it? I cant connect my phone to pc and cant get to menu to install any apk files.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmvyas:
Have you set up your Google account on the phone?

If yes, login to google play on your PC and Install any launcher - if your phone has 'data ' connection enabled.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] bimmerbot:
This is mostly for entertainment, but I was so annoyed at the speaker grill lifting up on the top right next to the camera that I lifted up in order to glue it down again. In the process, I confirmed that the grill is indeed plastic rather than metal (which I was already pretty sure about). Since I'm at work, the best adhesive I had access to was actually Liquid Skin from the first aid box! It's basically a thick super glue. I lightly applied the adhesive it and applied gentle pressure while it set. It worked pretty well, except the plastic shows a darker outline of the glue behind it where there wasn't originally any adhesive. Pics attached. At least the grill is flush to the screen now! :)

HI , first post , so here goes....have an old optimus g which i tried putting recovery on it....when phone rebooted , it had the secure booting error on it ....i went to the xda unbricking guide and have been stopped by the fact that the lg mobile support tool does not see my phone , and after i have downloaded and installed the drivers for my phone the lg optimus e973 .....

Verify that your phone is recognized and connected by checking the LG Mobile Support Tool. The text "Waiting for connection...." should be replaced by your model version LGE975 LGE970 or similar

..........i think i put the right drivers because i looked for them under the driver options for my phone ...but it still will not recognize my phone ...thanks for the help ...if any....have a great day.:cyclops:

Hello guys! I just stumbled upon this new chinese phone called the Star X5 IRON MAN that claims to be the world's thinnest metal smartphone with a really impressing 5.88mm ultra thin body!

What's really impressive about it in addition to the mid-range specs is it's amazing price of only 89.77$!

I'm really looking forward to buy it if I don't set my mind on a Galaxy S5 clone...

What do you guys think of it? has anyone already bought it?

The only website selling it for now is Fastcardtech

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] RwYeAsNt:
Hey, so I have Tablet Talk and Fleksy running on my Galaxy Gear (1st gen) so I can text straight from the watch.

Now, my problems are that I am unable to get Tablet Talk on my Gear to sync with my contacts. My contacts are syncing fine with the Gear if I go in the official contacts app, but in Tablet Talk it is always just numbers.

Also, the apps were sideloaded and while they work great, after a while they disappear from the apps list and I am constantly forced to restart my Gear in order to see them again.

Any fixes for these?

Thanks,

-Ryan
[Nook Touch General] Sagittarius0:
Hi,

I recently got fed up with forgetting to power off my nook. So I figured out I could use Tasker to shut it down at night when it is idle, etc., but I while I was testing it I realized that when my Nook is shut down, it shows the last state of the screen before having been shut down. It is quite annoying, especially that I cannot find a workaround, since Tasker cannot unlock the locked screen.

So, my question is, that does somebody know whether there is a shell command to power off the Nook like when you press the power off button?

Or any other suggestions would also be great.
[Nook Touch General] OverByter:
In my experience letting the nook go into standby for 8-12 hours before using it again uses less battery than shutting down completely and rebooting it.

OB
[Nook Touch General] wozhere:
I use Quick Boot v4.2, Plus version which has an additional command useful for phones: Hot Boot. Free version is good enough for NST:

http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot

I use a WiFi shutdown timer on my phone though, as sleep function on shoutcast radio.

P.S. As mentioned before in my apps listings thread for standby & screen blanking I use Screen Off FX:

http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.kixx.tool.offwidget
[Nook Touch General] Sagittarius0:
Well, maybe I wasn't making myself clear enough. The most important part here is automation. So while screen off fx is awesome, I can't really use it in this situation since my screen is already locked when I want to turn my Nook off.

The thing I am searching for is a command or an app that could shut down my Nook (even when my screen is locked) in a way that it shows the usual "Your Nook has turned off completely" picture. (Every app that I tried has made the Nook show the screen that is has shown before having been shut down.) And I would like to do all of that automated, probably with Tasker.
[Nook Touch General] cuff21:
The way I would do it is unlock the screen, overlay an image of whatever you want to be shown using a scene, and then shutdown.

To unlock the screen, try Simulating the "n" button command with tasker to unlock the screen before shutting down. (assuming slide to unlock is disabled):

Procedure for simulating button:

In your Tasker task, Create a new Run Shell Action. (Found in the "Script" category)

In the command section, put the following:

sendevent /dev/input/event1 1 102 1
sendevent /dev/input/event1 0 0 0
sendevent /dev/input/event1 1 102 0
sendevent /dev/input/event1 0 0 0

This will send a press and a release event of the n button.

​

Check the Use Root Option.

NOTE: If this is the first time you've used root with tasker, the root confirmation dialog will appear. Make sure to check the always allow option so that it doesn't pop up again.

Just For Reference:

If you would want to use other buttons do the following:

Replace 102 with:

Power Button: 116

Replace event1 with event0 AND 102 with:

Top Left Page Button: 412

Bottom Left Page Button: 139

Top Right Page Button: 407

Bottom Right Page Button: 158

Good Luck!
[Nook Touch General] Sagittarius0:
Absolutely woderful!

This is exactly how I wanted to do it. :victory:

It works perfectly, thank you very much.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Pushing stuff into /dev/input is lower level than it need be.

You'll be working with scan codes there.

In a shell this sends a press of the power button (using a KEYCODE)

input keyevent 26

Shutdown is easy enough (with one small hitch).

Simply send a android.intent.action.ACTION_REQUEST_SHUTDOWN

The problem is that this is a privileged intent and can only be sent by system apps.

System apps are those that have the system signature.

You can do that by re-signing your system.

You need to have android.permission.SHUTDOWN in the manifest.
[Nook Touch General] Sagittarius0:
Well, how can I do that?

And does this command you mentioned have the same efect as reboot -p?
[Nook Touch General] cuff21:
Glad I could help! :good:

Ok, good to know. I just went for the scan codes because I knew how to quickly get them from shell getevents.

If all your looking for is to do a shutdown or reboot, and are already using a Tasker task, the action Misc > Reboot has the ability to shutdown or do a reboot. My guess is that it does exactly what Renate NST is telling you to do - send a shutdown intent - behind the scenes. Granted, I don't know, and I don't have Tasker installed on my nook so I can't confirm that it will actually work, I have just used Tasker on other devices and it seems to work fine.

Just seems like the easiest, cleanest way would be to keep all the actions under one roof.
[Nook Touch General] Sagittarius0:
It does work seamlessly.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Hmm, I don't know. A regular root and su won't work.

You'd either have to have a system-signed app or hack the permission system.

There is no clear info on the difference between an Android shutdown and a Linux shutdown.

Given the choice, I'd go for the Android shutdown.
[Nook Touch General] cuff21:
Well I had a stack overflow link that shows a way to do it, but I can't post links yet. Either way, apparently there is a way with only root. The code from the link was:

try {
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime()
.exec(new String[]{ "su", "-c", "reboot -p" });
proc.waitFor();
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}

Apparently I've come to realise that HUAWEI (no matter how I love this company) their bootloaders have craaazzzyyy serious problems. I've so far tried to unlock 5 huawei phones bootloader and I end up getting a serious type of BRICK the phone shuts down and thats pretty much the last time you'll see your phone light up. It behaves weirdly when you press the power key it flashes the lights of the three touch keys 10 (ten) times and that's the end. It doesn't charge, it doesn't boot to recovery,fastboot,bootloader etc

it doesn't even detect when connected to PC.

When I went to local techs they said "I ****ed the bootloader script. Other phones are repairable but not Huawei! "

[LG Optimus G Pro] Firebourne:
I have an at&t e980 and im on straight talk updated to 4.4.2 kitkat. When i went to put my APN settings back in the APN Type was grayed out and i couldnt send MMS. I found the solution on the Androud Forum site but cant find the link it was under the g2 forum. Basically you have to be rooted and install SQLite Editor and go to data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases then click on telephony.db and then carriers. Delete all of the APNs but the one listed as LGE DEFAULT and then the Straight Talk one change the apn type line from "default" to "default,mms,supl" and then make everything else match what the other says as far as the values that you didnt input yourself then save and reboot and it will be changed and editable from then on. I dont know if anyone else will need this and my instuctions may not be clear, but i figured an answer is better then no answer. any questions just ask ill do what i can to help
[LG Optimus G Pro] droidzika:
Thanks for the info.. but a couple of things:

1) Should there be only two APNs left after deleting the AT&T APNs ? LGE Default AND Straight Talk only ?

2) You say "and then make everything else match what the other says" ... what are you referring to ? What other? LGE Default APNs should be the same as Straight Talks ?

Edit: Nevermind.. I've tried editing the APNs every which way but I came up empty.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Firebourne:
Ok there should only be the two APNs left and all the values other then what you can already edit in the normal settings should match the lg APN if I can I'll go back and see what the values are and post them up here
[LG Optimus G Pro] zrhodes:
First thanks to Firebourne for posting this fix.

i had this problem too. and followed what the op suggested and the apn type would just revert to "default,dun" and not be editable when done. after an hour of messing with it i was finally able to get it to work. Here is how; follow the op's instructions and change the type to "default,mms,supl" then also change the value usercreatesetting to "0" (no quotes, of course) that setting survived a reboot and mms is working correctly and the field is editable in the apn settings..

here are all of my settings as seen in sqlite editor

Name: Straight Talk

Numeric: 310410

Mcc: 310

Mnc : 410

apn: tfdata

protocol: IP

roaming_protocol: IP

carrier_enabled: 1

mvno_type: (blank)

mvno_match_data: (blank)

Hope this helps

Thanks again op
[LG Optimus G Pro] droidzika:
Thank you..I'll come back to this if needed. I edited the AT&T apns in sqlite to make it look like straight talk..i think it's working now.

[LG Optimus G Pro] droidzika:
I tried and changed it about 12 times before I was able to change the AT&T APN and edited as StraightTalk. Eventually I was able to send MMS..even to an iphone friend.
[LG Optimus G Pro] cougar214:
It would seem to me that AT&T did something to this update that makes the phone only work properly on their network. Why else would you not be able to edit APN types? If it was a mistake then this is one big @#$%^ mistake and they need to get it fixed in a hurry.
[LG Optimus G Pro] cougar214:
Ok. So I said the hell with it and went ahead and rooted. Now im trying to do this but it's SOOOOO unclear. Someone needs to clear this up and give proper instructions. I did what the OP said to do, the settings stuck, but pics still wont go out. This is frustrating to say the least. Can someone please step in here and clarify this? Following the OP, I have only two apns( LG default and my straight talk) I edited the straight talk with the default,mms,supl line. What do I do with the LG default!!!!!!! People are talking about editing the AT&T apn but the OP says to " Delete all of the APNs but the one listed as LGE DEFAULT and then the Straight Talk one change the apn type line from "default" to "default,mms,supl". OK!

I have NO idea WTH you mean when you say "and then make everything else match what the other says as far as the values that you didnt input yourself". Ummm...What?

EDIT: Ok. I got it working. Don't "delete" anything. Just change two values in your Straight Talk APN. Change the "default" to "default,mms,supl" and "usercreatesetting" to 0. THAT"S IT! Again, DON"T delete anything!

[LG Optimus G Pro] Montrose480:
Okay I have figured out my problem I had flashed the 20 G version of 4. 4.2 KitKat and in so doing it was not letting me edit so I flashed back to 4.1 .2 did not root my phone set my APN settings and allowed the phone to update from the phone's software update once the phone was updated to the new 4.4.2 KitKat from at&t I rooted my phone and used to the SqLite editor to go in and change my settings now my picture messages works... I did not delete anything I only changed the two settings that were mentioned buy one of the commentators in the section

Solution for Android 4.4.2 (Build E98020G) on Straight Talk (AT&T LTE)

I tried every solution I could find on the web (and xdaDevelopers) for changing the APNs on my rooted LG Optimus G Pro E980, but at first, nothing worked. Eventually, I came across this solution and created a walkthrough (see my updated thread on the topic):

http://xdaforums.com/optimus-g-pro/help/guide-set-straight-talk-apn-rooted-t2807611
[LG Optimus G Pro] brodood:
Finally an answer WITHOUT ROOT

It is possible to change the APN type without SQLite or root. The guys at my work figured this out. It is kind of a tricky workaround, but this is tested and working on LG Optimus G Pro, G Flex, and G2 with the MMS issues.

1. Go to the APN Settings and reset them to default. After that you should only see the AT&T APN

2. With the SIM card in the phone open Mobile Networks (get to the screen where you can click on Access Point names.)

3. DO NOT POWER OFF THE PHONE FOR THIS PART! On that screen and with the phone still on, slide the SIM out. You should get a prompt asking to reset the phone. DO NOT RESET THE PHONE.

4. After the prompt click on Access Point Names. There should be no APNs here. If the AT&T APN is still here go back to step 1.

5. Now you need to create a new APN whit the SIM is removed. The APN should be as follows:

Name: Straight Talk MMS

apn: tfdata

user: (blank)

server: (blank)

password: (blank)

proxy: (blank)

port: (blank)

mmsproxy: 66.209.11.33

mmsport: 80

mmsc: http: // mms-tf. net - This is spaced for Junior User restrictions. Should be no spaces.

authtype:none

type: mms

THE APN TYPE SHOULD ONLY BE FOR MMS. DO NOT PUT ANYTHING ELSE IN THE "TYPE" FIELD

6. Now with everything typed in DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING. If it is correct you can save this APN. Once it is saved there will still be no APNs on the APN page.

7. Pull the battery and put the SIM back in the phone.

8. Go back to the APN settings and DO NOT open the APN you just created or it will reset the entire process!!!!! If you did everything right the Straight Talk MMS APN you just made should not have the selection bubble. If you have a selection bubble on the Straight Talk MMS, go back to Step 1.

9. Make another new APN as Follows:

Name: Straight Talk

apn: tfdata

user: (blank)

server: (blank)

password: (blank)

proxy: (blank)

port: (blank)

mmsproxy: (blank)

mmsport: (blank)

mmsc: (blank)

Mcc: 310

Mnc : 410

type: default

10. Save this APN and select it. You should get LTE shortly after that.

That's it! If you want MMS without root this is the only other workaround I know of! This was tested on multiple Optimus G Pro, G Flex, and G2 and is working! Hope it Helps.
[LG Optimus G Pro] erik_delcast:
i did it all and got it to work but when i was trying to exit out something went wrong and i must have changed something else because now i get no service at all for anything besides wifi. please help!
[LG Optimus G Pro] ackliph:
It is important that once you have entered all the info for the new APN, you must press the menu button and select save. Then one you are back to the previous screen, select the radio button next to your new APN to select it.
[LG Optimus G Pro] TVCCS:
Yes, it worked on my LG Optimus G Pro

I agree that's one helluva clever workaround...tried it and got the custom MMS APN setting in as described, then got the selectable ST APN as described into the phone as well. The first couple of times I tried to send an MMS it was still stuck in the proverbial Sending loop going nowhere - but then it decided on try number three to go through...weiiiiiiiiiird indeed.

I may still end up rooting and changing the APN database...this is a deliberate attempt by AT&T to block carriers like Straight Talk from having MMS functionality...a very subversive workaround to the prospect of Congress passing new unlocking legislation. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall when the managers, engineers and the lawyers discussed this little scheme. I have some lawyers of my own I'm gonna run this one by - yes I'm talking to you AT&T and whomever else was in on this little collusionary party - I hope LG didn't sign off on this little scheme...would be interesting to know if the KitKat updates anywhere else in the world disabled APN's in the same way. The Hill isn't going to like this much when they find out, nor The White House.

Thanks for the non-root suggestion, strange as it is. For those of you trying this one, it took several reboots before the MMS messages started working correctly...I was about to give up and re-root, and bingo, it worked. What a kluge just to try and block functionality...naughty naughty. :eek:
[LG Optimus G Pro] franberry:
Worked perfect on LG G2

Dude...can't Thank You enough for sharing this!! Got it to work on the first try (after rebooting) exactly as you described for an LG G2 on Straight Talk.
