[LG Optimus G Pro] MitoTakatori:
Hi. I am not really new to Android dev scene. My first OG device was the LGOG, now I have the G PRO. I have done the rooting, bootloader unlocking and Custom Recovery flashing in LGOG before, which is much simplier than in G PRO. I can't seem to find a way to unlock the bootloader of my variant F240S kitkat. The ROM version is F240S20C. Freegee does not seem to support it yet. So is there any way to unlock it's bootloader? Or can I flash/install custom recovery without the need to unlock the bootloader?
[LG Optimus G Pro] tomi001:
You can unlock it when you install the old stock rim 4.1.2. With 4.4.2 you can't it yet.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibv1970:
Sorry to disturb, but am having problems and hoping some of the bright sparks here can help.

Camera: If I restart the handset I can go into Camera. I can sometimes take 2 maybe 3 photos. Then it stops. Sometimes it's if I use any photo app to take photo rather than Stock Camera. Sometimes it's if I've looked in the gallery. Camera then only goes to blank screen and occasionally advises of Camera Driver Failure. Also pops up with 'Failed to Take Photo. Camera Busy.' when not even taking one. I can't work it out.

Music: Stores automatically to internal memory. I want it on my HUGE empty SD card. Is there an easy way?

Hi there, i recently tried to update my nexus 10 to 4.4.2 when it shutdown halfway during the update. Since then I have been stuck on a loading page.

I tried to sideload an update through TWRP but had no luck and switched to Clockworkmod Recovery which also did nothing but give out errors.

So i tried to use fastboot to go to a fresh factory image of 4.4.2

However i keep running into this error. Partition table update fail [See image attachment]

Was looking for some guidance on what I can do next

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcsiy:
SM-N9005 is soft bricked, owner probably went OTA and interrupted the update now when you turn on the phone it goes to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 logo then loops from there. I tried to flash official stock firmware downloaded from Sammobile (N9005XXUEND6_N9005OLBEND1_XTC) and it passed the flash in ODIN 3.09 then the phone automatically reboots into stock recovery and tries to update package but from I keep getting:

E: Unable to verify whole file signature

E: Signature verification failed

Installation aborted

I have been flashing firmwares on older Samsung via ODIN and as far as I know after flashing via ODIN the firmware is already written in the phone and it doesn't need to reboot into recovery and flash the update again but in NOTE3 it does this and now I'm stuck.

I tried flashing PhilZ custom recovery and disabled signature verification but when I flash the stock firmware via ODIN it overwrites the custom recovery back to stock recovery and then gets stuck again in the verifying signature thing.

Any help and inputs would be greatly appreciated.

I tried to do a factory reset in stock recovery, tried wiping the Dalvik cache as well but the problem is still there it just stays on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 screen then turns off then turns back on and loops over and over.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Either nuke the phone via a totally fresh ODIN update or flash Philz recovery, when it loops on you, take out the battery, put it back in then go to recovery mode, wipe the usual dalvik/cache etc then boot up (it should in theory work) (and/or flash a custom ROM just to get it to boot properly)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcsiy:
Thanks for the input, the main issue why I need to flash the stock rom is because the phone doesn't boot and is looping in the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 screen then vibrates as if it turns on again and goes into a loop...

Question is can I flash a custom rom over it for example there's no firnware loaded on the phone or the firmware loaded is corrupted?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
You can flash a custom ROM yes, so long as you boot Into your custom recovery, do the wipes. Then installing a custom fw should work OK, once you've done that you can go back to stock or change custom fw without issues

The reason it wants to boot into recovery is to flash the csc. Make sure you get the correct firmware for your device and region from sammobile.com and odin again, let it do its thing. It sounds like the csc wasn't valid.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leraeniesh:
Wouldn't recommend you try it on a locked bootloader.

Those that are unlocked shouldn't have any issues.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Technically, with a locked bootloader, if Fastboot will allow you to downgrade, then it should be possible.

You'd have to boot into Fastboot, then run the command:

fastboot flash system system.img

Where system.img is the 4.1.2 image file extracted from the fxz file. If it won't let you do this, then downgrade isn't possible. It will likely say failed flash and you'll have to flash something to kick the phone out of fastboot like logo.img.

You could also try RSDLite and try to flash the 4.1.2 fxz, but I doubt that will work because bootloader and such are not downgradeable and it will likely fail.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulsforu:
Thanks for ur reply..

My bootloader is locked. I want to try downgrade to stock 4.1.2. Can u please send me the link to download stock 4.1.2 img and exact steps to downgrade?

Thnaks so much in advance..
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
You can get them here:

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=8

You can extract the original system.img from the archive as well as logo.img in case the phone doesn't allow you to flash system.img, you can use logo.img to kick the phone out of Fastboot. You will need to install Motorola ADB drivers on your computer in advance, and also need a fastboot.exe file which I think you can find via Google, but if you have ever rooted your phone in the past, usually that also came with fastboot.

Anyway, get into fastboot mode by turning off the phone, then holding down all 3 buttons. Use vol- to select Fastboot and vol+ to choose it. Phone should boot into fastboot.

Connect to PC and issue command:

fastboot flash system system.img

If it works, the phone should be downgraded. If it says flash failed, then downgrade isn't possible. In that case, if the phone is stuck in fastboot mode and can't be rebooted, issue this command to get out of fastboot.

fastboot flash logo logo.img

That should let it reboot as normal.

I actually doubt it's possible to downgrade, but I haven't tried it myself so I can't say for sure.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulsforu:
Thank u so much my friend, I need to clear that I m using this phone in India with Reliance CDMA network. If downgrade will succeed then will it in verizon locked condition or it will remain unlocked for global use? Also I need to add that I have never unlocked my bootloader or rooted my phone.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
I think it would stay unlocked since you wouldn't be reflashing the radio.

It is easy enough to re-unlock if that should get reversed, however.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Ah, nevermind. Don't bother to try it. Even if you could succeed, you'd end up with black screen after the logo. The newer bootloaders will not allow Jellybean to boot. There is no way to downgrade. KitKat is a one way road with a locked BL. Sorry!

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Sorry, with locked BL, you can't flash modified system.img or older system.img. I tried it just to make sure, and the phone wouldn't allow it.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Good news is that major developments happened a month ago. :good:

You can now root AND unlock bootloader on KitKat. I think you can find the info you need in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2783806

Once you have bootloader unlocked, you can downgrade back to JB. I have tried it and can confirm it works.

Good luck!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulsforu:
Thanks much for update..

I can not getting the method. Actually I m new with these things.

Can you please explain how to use tr.apk?

Thanks in Advance..
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
You just run it and let it do its thing. Your phone should be rooted once it has rebooted. You can verify with any rootchecker app.

Then install and run Motopocalypse.apk to unlock your bootloader.

You can the use RSDLite to flash back to JellyBean using the JB fxz file. You will need to edit the xml file in the fxz file, removing the lines with gpt.bin and tz.mbn.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulsforu:

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulsforu:
Thanks.

Can you please send link to download JB 4.1.2 fxz file. and step by step instruction to flash the file.?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Download link for fxz is in post #5.

You will also need RSDLite. I used this one:

http://www.4shared.com/rar/q61LmCBp/rsd_lite_615__mtk_patch.html?locale=en

I think you can also use something called "Matt's Utility", but I've never personally used that one.

Anyway, extract the fxz file to your computer, then open the .xml file. There should be 2 lines, one with tz.mbn in it and one with gpt.bin. You will need to remove those lines.

Then boot phone into fastboot mode. With phone off, hold down vol-up and vol-dn at the same time, do not release. Press and hold POWER for a few seconds, then release it. When you get into the bootloader selection menu, release vol buttons. Use vol-dn to go down to Fastboot and vol-up to select it.

Now confirm Fastboot says your phone is UNLOCKED, because this won't work if it's locked. Plug into your PC and make sure you have Moto drivers installed.

Now run RSDLite and select the .xml file where you extracted the fxz to. If you removed the correct lines, it should flash correctly and be on JB when it reboots.

One thing to note, it will do a factory reset. I think there is a line you can add to the xml to keep your data, but I just tried to Google it and couldn't find it.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulsforu:
Thank u very much.

Is this process will replace the kitkat kernal to JB kernel? Or kitkat kernal will remain and JB ROM will work like previously on kitkat kernal?

Also if it will not solve my problem then what way to go back to stock kitkat?

Is there any way to backup my current working phone? in case if anything will go wrong then I can get my phone back to existing working condition?

Please Help me.

Thanks in advance..
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Yes, it will replace the KitKat kernel with the JB kernel.

If you root, you can use various apps to back stuff up like Titanium Backup.

You could also flash TWRP recovery and use that to make a backup of your entire /data partition.

I'm not really sure the best method of backup as I don't back stuff up very often. I mostly just use Titanium, but then you have to set your accounts and home screen shortcuts and widgets back up manually. I think there are other backup apps for those things though.

Save it, boot the phone into fastboot mode, then try flashing with RSDLite.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Yes, I imagine it won't like to flash with a low battery. Probably not the best idea either. I would charge up the battery first.

You may also need to remove the lines that say "oem".

<step operation="oem" var="fb_mode_clear" />

Your guess is as good as mine. My guess is that it tells the flashing program the maximum download size of the phone.
