What's going on? How do I fix?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Well it's an app or a setting that is causing it. But it's hard to say what is causing it.

My suggestion would be to do a full wipe. That would be the easiest method.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeanca:
Agree with the wipe

In my experience, something in the framework or security settings can cause that. Full wipe and if you are running some kind of AOSP lockscreen disable it. Also watch out for xposed modules that are tweaking your lockscreen.

I had the exact same problem. Do you have an exchange email account for possibly work on your phone? The new upgrade will only allow for PIN or Password if you have an exchange account. I had a long, long wait with technicians before it was apparent.

Hi,

Tinted Status Bar doesn't work on my rooted Alcatel OT Idol 2S 6050Y, does anyone know why ?

Is there a replacement for Tinted Status Bar ?

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeetherocker:
It's an xposed module

So you need to first install xposed framework then enable the module for it to work
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drattak:
Well, obvisously I installed it before. I already used Tinted Status Bar before, on an LG phone so I know how it works. Actually, it doesn't work on the Alcatel phone and i wonder why

Which version of android ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drattak:

---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 AM ----------

if the kernel source has been locked so how doom kernel was made??

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

Has bootloader-lock ever been hacked even on other brands??

It's cool if it can be done, maybe all of us can even have ways to prevent losing DRM key when unlocking :)
[Xperia Z1 General] joecool666:
from 2011 i beleave thats when started locking down our phones, yes they have been unlocked before i.e hacked, bootloader,i think the devs name rickardo not to sure tho, but i think if we had doomlord look at it he might be able to help, like i say we have to wait and see as most of the devs already have unlocked bootloaders so where does that leave us, limbo lol, hope they find away to unlock that damm bootloader, regards joe,
[Xperia Z1 General] 3x3cUt0r:
The boootloader and kernel sources are different things, the kernel source code has been available for a while but as a zip file, devs had to track differences to incorporate into their "custom kernel", now it's much easier to check on the differences and even cherrypick.
[Xperia Z1 General] palkia171993:
I have been with android for a while but I've never had intention to unlock my bootloader so I haven't done much research on it. Therefore, here's another noob questions :silly:

How does this kernel publication from Sony benefit everyone? Can we create a kernel that can be flashed without unlock bootloader now? or Does it improve the quality of the existing custom kernels? or Does it contribute to Sony Stock kernel and Sony will use it for our devices in the future?:p
[Xperia Z1 General] Option58:
You must unlock bootloader, but that's easy - no big deal. Try I promise it's not hard.

It makes kernel developers easier to develop.
[Xperia Z1 General] joecool666:
how do you mean that its easy to unlock when it say bootloader unlock allowed NO, do you know something we dont ?? lol

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
that's one hell of a long post and a lot of questions, well first of all i'll see if I can help you with this, link below is Vodafone backup which I created from my phone, unzip it, you will find a folder called backup, that contains the backup files, and another called recovery, that contains twrp that I used to create the backup, so flash that first.

STAY S_OFF, DO NOT SET BACK TO S_ON.

enter recovery, create a backup in order to create the required folders, then boot your phone back to android, once booted, plug into your computer, copy the backup folder from my zip to your internal SDcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/"device serial number"/

Reboot the phone back into recovery and restore that backup, you will now have Vodafone kitkat 4.4.2 on your phone, however one problem you may have is 4.4.2 comes with HBOOT 1.56 not 1.55, they may pick up on that.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManyPhones:
Dear Seanie,

thanks for willing to help!

Will restoring your backup replace the previously flashed TRWP recovery by the stock recovery?

If not, the TRWP recovery remains, and I cannot send the phone in for repair.

If yes, I cannot use adb to set the phone to LOCKED, as the stock recovery does not support adb.

I see no advantage over using the Nandroid backup from my own phone (see opening post).

I am confused - can you clarify, please?

Steven

reason why the CWM restore method is so long: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52430301&postcount=834

I recommend you stay S-Off, but that's a decision only you can make

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------

@ManyPhones

if you're going to follow my guide, these are the files you need (in case htc1guru.com is giving slow/corrupt downloads):

ruu.zip: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407584993

nandroid: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358543658

preloaded apps: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407580574

and probably this stock recovery: http://d-h.st/XMA should work without hanging.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManyPhones:
Dear nkk71,

thank you! I carefully read through your posting and the linked instructions. - your guide is excellent and foolproof!

I understood I had to use the Nandroid backup method, as there was neither an RUU.exe nor an RUU.zip file available for CID VODAP102.

Thank you for providing the explicit versions/links for my individual phone in the posting!

So the key is indeed downgrading to HBOOT 1.44 in order to be able to load a temporary custom recovery with fastboot boot temp_ recovery_name.img.

I am right after STEP 7. In Step 6 have made the first OTA update, updating from software 1.29.161.7 to software 2.24.161.1. A further update to 3.63.161.6 is offered.I understand, if I want to to S-On, I have to do it NOW, before doing that further update.

I guess, if I want to have full warranty, it is a MUST to set S-On. Right?

Why do you recommend to stay S-Off? - Isn't it possible to go S-On, OTA update to 3.63.161.6, let the phone repair and then later use RumRunner again (after unlocking and rooting again)?

Regards

Steven

P.S.: Someone provided another, shorter method (without downgrade) per PN:

1st download recovery flasher zip (LINK)

Open this zip with 7zip*

Put stock recovery in it simply but renamed recovery.img*

Close zip if it ask save it press yes*

Copy this new zip to phone storage*

Now download guru boot loader reset tool zip from this link & copy to your phone storage

Now reboot to TWRP recovery

*1 st flash recovery flasher zip*

2 nd flash guru boot loader reset tool zip with Locked & remove tempered options ( it tempered is there ) complete flash*

I have not tried it, as I was half through your method. But I can imagine, it maywork - as I do not need to use external adb to access the internal phone memory for the flags, and since I had my own factory-fresh HTC backup re-installed already before.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Hi,

There are always different ways of doing things, some shorter, some longer. My guide was written after many many different one-on-one threads, and the conclusion of every possible outcome I have encountered.

(including IRC chats and teamviewer sessions, and even some shortcut methods were used in my thread, but on a one-to-one basis,

not as a general rule

)

this includes the infamous "tamper detected - rebooting" (mentioned in the guide) that may (or may not) happen when going from S-Off to S-On, this is why I always recommend that IF you intend on going from S-Off to S-On, you should do so on hboot 1.44 or 1.54

As to the question of S-On vs S-Off, it's really country/carrier/repair centre specific... in

theory

, it shouldn't matter, but in practice, it's dependent on the previous, so that is something you will have to decide.

For example: I've seen threads with people sending in their phone with a custom ROM, tampered, unlocked -> no problem

but i've also seen a post, 100% stock including S-On, but the repair guy said the power button was pressed with "too much force" and refused warranty (oh and it wasn't sent to repair for the power button!!) :confused: :eek:

cheers
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManyPhones:
I see, your's is a general approach that will work under any circumstances. I can imagine it is almost impossible to provide tailored solutions for each and every individual starting point of the restore. So, the long way is always the safe way (-:

It must have been a lot of work to assemble the guide and the case example.

Great work! You'll be thanked!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManyPhones:
Final words

Final words:

I decided to go S-On - as recommended I made it on HBOOT 1.54 (included in the aforementioned OTA update to OS software version 2.24.161.1). No problems, still LOCKED after three reboots.

Then I started the OTA to OS software version 3.63.161.6 (HBOOT 1.55), then another to OS software version 4.X (HBOOT 1.56), then another to OS software version 5.16.161.2 (HBOOT 1.57). If I ever want to go back to S-off, I'll have to use Firewater and hope, that it will work.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
you mean "go S-On", right?

and yes, for hboot 1.57 firewater is the only method at the moment that

may

work to get S-Off, hopefully sunshine will be updated to include the M7

(otherwise the only other solution would be using a JavaCard)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManyPhones:
Yeah, that was a typo - I meant S-On (corrected in post #9, sorry for the confusion!

Those concepts are still inknown to me. Never mind, I'll check it out later as needed.

Can someone please help me in answering a niggling question I have about the TyTn (Hermes), before I go out and buy one. Firstly has anyone used their machines with a 3 sim?????

I have searched but cant find this being asked or answered anywhere.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] closetland:
yes gprs and utms and regular calls sms/mms are no problem at all.

But the services at three´s portal like music etc dont work 100% :S but i can take that...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shabba007:
ok cheers for the answer mate, but i notice that your not in the uk and this questions mainly concerned the 3 network here in the uk mate and also the reason why I asked is because I saw this advert for the VPA Compact III, which my understanding was the same machine but he states that it cant be used with 3??? thanks for the quick reply.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] GavinN:
Hi Shabba,

I'm sure I put a 3 SIM in mine the other day without a problem, however i've had a few drinks since then and can't fully remember. I'll try mine tomorrow with a 3 SIM but there should be no reason it shouldn't work if it's unlocked.

I'll update you tomorrow.

Gavin.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shabba007:
Cheers Gav, Please let us all know mate. So why is this guy http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VODAFONE-VPA-...ryZ38331QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

stating its not compatible???? totally confused!!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] GavinN:
Yeah I don't get it either. There should be no reason why the TyTn can't connect to the 3 network as it's either WCDMA for 3 or GSM for O2 (Soon to be Orange) when there is no WCDMA coverage and the TyTN is able to use both. The only thing possibly is the 3 SIM card might be a UICC but I'd be very surprised if this is causing problems as Vodafone D2 and UK both use UICC too (basically a smart card with both USIM and SIM profiles stored).

Maybe it's as Closetland says that some 3 services are unavailable so he just says it doesn't work full stop?

Let me check for you tomorrow. I've got both a SPV M3100 (unlocked) and a T-Mobile Vario II I can try.

Gav.

Gav.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shabba007:
Hi topher1976, no they dont mate, infact it was only recently perhaps in the last year or so that they decided to release phones that weren't the size of bricks. The only phone they've release over here that slightly resembles a PPC was the Motorola a1000 and then a later but similar Motorola model both of which were huge and based on symbian UIQ operating system which is a bit poooh!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shabba007:

Once again cheers Gavin!!!!!!!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] GavinN:
