[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SamuraiCX:
I've had my Skyrocket (I727-R) for little over a year now. Bought it used. For the first seven or so months everything seemed to work fine. I had no issues and was flashing ROMs fine. Around November last year, I attempted listening to music only to realize that I couldn't hear anything from my earbuds. At first I thought it may have been my crappy old earbuds so I tried playing music without the earbuds and making a call. The other side could hear me but I could not hear anything. Since then, I've taken it back to the place I bought it from and they have been co-operative. Usually they charge for diagnostics and such but since I was a recurring customer they did it for free. Anyways, at first, it seemed like they had fixed it by replacing the speaker. They also wiped my SD, flashed the phone back to GB and told me not to root or update the software. I didn't see why it would be an issue however so I used Odin to update to stock JB and root, flashed some ROMs, etc. The audio worked for a day and stopped again while listening to music the next day. I took it back to them and they said it was a motherboard defect and would cost as much as a new phone to replace the motherboard.

I am currently running Dirty Unicorns 4.4.2, 20140331-0105, radio is T989UVMC6 (I'm on Mobilicity's network)

My question is, is there anyway I can be 100% sure it is a motherboard issue? And if it isn't, how can i fix the audio? If it is in fact the motherboard, what is the recommended course of action?

Thanks.

Has anyone had success returning a rooted/bootloader unlocked phone? I'm wondering if HTC sees the loose volume rockers as a hardware issue and would not honor the return due to software being tampered with.

Sweet. I appreciate the info, brother.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
An RUU does NOT:

- Lock the bootloader

- Remove S-OFF

It only restores the system to the factory state. That and the only RUUs available are for the American phones so unless you have an M8 from the US you're stuck
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Then you've had magic HTC phones as my Sensation, One X and One (M7) have never been 'relocked' after an RUU as they RUU doesn't change any settings regarding the state of the bootloader as that isn't touched by the RUU. You have to relock the bootloader to run an RUU if S-ON
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhiannon224:
You are doing something other than just running the RUU to lock the bootloader. The RUU doesn't touch the bootloader and I have had several HTC phones and the RUU will not lock the bootloader ever. It's not a case of agree to disagree, you're giving wrong information. There are plenty of guides out on returning a phone to stock and I repeat running the RUU WILL NOT LOCK THE BOOTLOADER!

God, I'm sorry... I said it's just me and my experiences... That's what I said in that post. I'm sorry, I gave the wrong information. Don't listen to me then. I'm human.

Are you on an unlocked bootloader? If not, you cannot downgrade.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
You can't downgrade even with an unlocked bootloader. Just tried this morning and got a security downgrade error or somesuch.

He's probably getting a flash failed error. Easiest way to fix that is just to successfully flash something simple like the logo.

fastboot flash logo logo.bin
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seriiez:
You CAN flash back to JB from KK if you have an unlocked bootloader using RSD, I've done it a few times when I tried KK.

I used VRZ_XT907_9.8.1Q-94-1_CFC.xml and removed these lines.

i got an OEM car charger for the O2 Exec and it does not seem to functiona as expected. here's why:

- when the o2 exec is turned on (either running a navigation program or not) and the car charger is plugged in, the o2 exec would not charge.

- when the o2 exec is turned off and the car charger is plugged in, the o2 exec can finally charge. however when i start a navigation program, it would show that it is charging but the battery capacity does not increase and after a while, the unit will automatically switch off after a while. while on battery the unit does not turn off automatically after some time.

is there a problem with my car charger or is this normal for all car chargers? is there any way to solve it?

all help rendered is much appreciated.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] astage:
I've had very mixed results with twelve different models of aftermarket car and mains chargers for the Exec.

The models that list their output at about 550mA seem to exhibit the troubles you mention - you need to switch on the Exec after the charger is working and even then with a high drain their output is not enough to power and charge the Exec at the same time.

The models rated as 1A output seem able to power the Exec and charge it at the same time. The o2 supplied mains charger is rated at 1A.

I've seen similar things with computer USB ports, especially laptops.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] vapor:
Thanks astage for your input.

The thing with the car charger that I have is that it is actually rated at 1000mA or 1A and thus I thought it should not pose such a problem. But apparently it does. Is there any way for me to check what is the exact output for the car charger? I am kinda alien to electronics and circuits board.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] nabuhonodozor:
The thing is that You ll have to get special charging USB cable. I was trying 4 cables and finally 5th was working - it was cable for xda-2. Try it for Yourself.

It have something to do with wiring 5th line - normall usb cable have 4 lines connected.

Aha - one more thing - Your original Universal cable wont work ...

Can I flash 4.4.2 from N900 on N900a?

Wysłane z mojego XT1032 przy użyciu Tapatalka
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kilsating:
Hi.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 model on carrier T-mobile. Lately the phone has gone nuts and will get stuck on dialing out and will never make the call. Everything else works fine. Sometimes I have to soft reset, pull the battery and that will fix it for a call or two, then it will get stuck again. I have contacted T-mobile about this over 5 times and none of them can help. We tried to change the sim, reset the account. Etc and nothing. I have reset the cache, factory reset and even put in a good working sim card from another phone and the same problem comes up. During my latest troubleshooting I have narrowed it down to where I switch "network mode" to GSM only and that can make calls out all the time, but the data stays on E (which then I can't use the internet because it's so slow) When I switch back to auto I am sometimes able to place calls again, but only a few. After I test a few calls and leave the phone for a few minutes the phone will get stuck back on not making calls out and just saying "dialing".

Has anyone had the same problems or know of a fix? Currently I have been trying to flash the modem to different versions to see if that fixes the problem. The first two modems I have flashed did not work and came up with "unknown baseband". :confused:

If anyone can help I greatly appreciate it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
This is a known issue with 4.3.. What firmware are you on? Assuming you flashed the correct baseband for your device, the 'unknown baseband' message sounds like you are in 4.3 but what build? You can't flash any modems successfully less than 4.3
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kilsating:
I was previously on 4.1.2 when the problem first started. I updated it to 4.3 and still the same problem.

jss15j.t999uvuenc2 build. (I put this one back on last night so at least I can use the phone today when I am at work)

I was just hoping that the device didn't go bad when it was on 4.1.2 because it was working just fine before the problem started.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Was it official update to NC2 by OTA/Odin or you just flashed a ROM?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kilsating:
NC2 was OTA. After doing some searches it said that OTA could of been corrupt, so I went and downloaded KIES and did a reinstall that way.

When I upgraded to 4.3 I tried that default baseband out and had the same problems. That is when I was searching on google and came across this forum and also the thread about flashing modems.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
What APN (Access Point Name) are you on ? Also what is your Preferred Network Type set to ? Its located in Settings > More I think.(I don't use Stock Firmware)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kilsating:
APN is epc.tmobile.com

Network Mode current set to GSM (the only way I can make calls out without the problem occuring)

WCDMA/GSM (Auto Connect) is what it should be on so my data is at 4G, but the calls is the problem here
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
I am not sure but can you check the settings of the Dialer to see if there is ways to choose Lookup providers ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kilsating:
Nope don't see anything in the dialer about selecting a provider..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Its supposed to be something about Choose Lookup Providers. At least that's the way it is on AOSP.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I suggest Odin flashing the stock NC2 firmware and then factory resetting from stock recovery. (Backup first of course!) If it is still an issue, it will most likely be a hardware problem. From what you have said so far, I believe that you will find this to be the case. Could've been due to damage from a drop, or even overheating at some point. Or it could just be that its simply due to hardware degradation over time.

As far as stability and battery life is concerned, you can always go with the stock firmware. Here is the link to all stock firmwares,

All Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 Stock Firmwares (2.3.X) Ever Released

But if you are only interested in custom roms, then I suggest you go for CM 7 (2.3.7) based rom as it offers much more speed and stability than any other CM versions. You can decide for yourself which is the best among them. Here is the link to all custom roms for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 thanks to [MENTION=4813760]brijeshep[/MENTION],

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper The Ripper:
On the other hand I suggest you to use a custom STOCK rom. They're the most stable, battery friendly, they have a good performance and are compatible with more games ;)

If your friend use your smartphone such as a normal user, flash a custom STOCK rom and forget to face troubles :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moliverac8:
The problem is that with the time,all the stock ROM gets lag,and that's a bit annoying.

[Moto X Q&A] joelo661:
Hello,

I'm pretty new to this but I would like to know if the root method is still the same after the 4.4.3 OTA. Also, does this phone (Moto X DE) already come with an unlocked bootloader? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
The developer editions come with an unlockABLE bootloader. You can unlock free from Moto's website, and it does not void your warranty (Developer edition only).

Assuming you unlocked your bootloader, the root method (for unlocked users) is SIMILAR on 4.4.3. You will need new versions of TWRP and SuperSU. See the first post here for TWRP / SuperSU versions that work on 4.4.3: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/development/recovery-unlocked-twrp-2-6-3-1-android-t2534850/page48

If you are talking about using a root 'exploit', this is not possible. The exploit was patched in 4.4.3. If you want root on 4.4.3 or later, you MUST unlock your bootloader, and not try to use an 'exploit' to root it.

This clear it all up?
[Moto X Q&A] joelo661:
Yes and thank you for the prompt response. So as long as I unlock the bootloader first and use the files that you provided links for. I should be good rooting my Developer Edition Moto X? Also, anyway you can provide a link with the info I need to unlock the bootloader?
[Moto X Q&A] john.r.m:
Hey OP

what color is the back of your phone? Your signature suggests you have the t-mobile variant which if you unlock the bootloader youll end the warranty.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
XT1053 is the model number for the GSM Dev Edition, AND The GSM Unlocked (ships with T-Mobile SIM) Moto Maker edition, aka T-Mobile varient.

The only difference is the Dev Edition being the standard black face, woven white back, silver accents (buttons and camera ring), only comes as 32Gig and says Dev Edition on the back.

You are correct, while the bootloader unlock code is available from Moto's web site for the XT1053, completing the request for the code voids the warranty unless you have a Developer Edition.

---------- Post added at 01:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 PM ----------

Link to get bootloader unlock code from Moto -> https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a but but if yours is NOT the Dev Edition, it will void your warranty.

Yes, unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP, boot to TWRP and install SuperSU.

I suggest these instructions for ADB and MFastboot setup -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/ADB.htm

For Rooting the X with unlocked bootloader I usually point to -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/instructions-unlocking-rooting-dev-ed-t2649738 However, while the process is correct, there is a newer TWRP (which [MENTION=2509024]samwathegreat[/MENTION] has pointed you to http://androidhosting.org/Devs/Dhacker29/MotoX/TWRP-2.7.0.0-moto_msm8960dt.img ), and there is a newer SuperSU (see -> http://download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip )

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DvDwx.:
to fix the Keyboard problem enter on CWM

- go to "Mounts and Storage" -> "Mount /system"

- them go back, and install: "Install zip from sdcard" -> "Choose zip from sdcard" or "Choose zip from external sdcard" -> Flash the "XXXXX.zip"

- than Reboot

and Yehp, stay working =D

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] teddy0209:
It should consume more because of the OC's... Modify the settings for performance or battery life... Though i prefer the default because it's snappier... =)
