Thanks for the reply! I did that and my phone was working fine again. I went to go flash a stock rom that I found and it flashed fine but now the NFC logo flashes in the status bar even though it's not on. Also, my wifi doesn't work! It constantly says turning on wifi.. I'm trying to flash a different stock rom but I can't enter recovery anymore :( I would be fine except no wifi is a bit of a problem. Thank you for the reply by the way, is there a chance you can help me find an RUU for my phone? I've searched everywhere but there doesn't seem to be one.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaHiLzZ:
There is no RUU for Bell devices. Have you checked my restore to stock for canadian users thread? Post #1 should be ok for you

So I managed to get my phone working again thanks to your guide! but once I went in to get my S-OFF the program got stuck on pouring 2 after I left it for an hour I hard reset my phone and now I can't boot into recovery or main OS, just bootloader. But in bootloader I see at the top that it says my phone is S-OFF but I can't do the remove tampered because I can't use adb because I can't boot into main OS! I've tried flashing different recovery TWRP but it isn't changing anything..

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
did you erased cache after flashing the recovery?

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

then try to boot in recovery again.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoalaSuccess:
Yeah I did try to erase cache, no luck. but I managed to fix it by turning my S-OFF back to S-ON by typing fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

after that I flashed twrp again and then i was able to boot up to OS again. Thanks for the help everyone!

well that is strange, you should have kept s-off and try other things first but well, its to late. At least your phone is working now ;)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wheneva14:
Hi,

i do not know computers or mobile phones that well, recently i got my G3, its the korean version F400S.

i notice theres lots of bloatware , just wondering is it possible to flash to a different region stock rom like the D855 HongKong international version.

and yes i do have the 32gb version.

And if its possible, can i still get updates on the phone?

thank you
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Japultra:
You cannot flash firmware for one model number with firmware for another model number. Any D855 software will not work on an F400 and vice versa.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flupo2000:
Even if we are going to root the phone still cannot flash the D855 software?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Japultra:
Correct. You will brick your phone.

I installed ROM VDT V6 on my F400K and now my software version has changed from F400K10g to F400L10g. I am afraid it might cause an issue later down the line esp in super user access. Any idea how to fix this?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinny123:
If I flash my phone to a GPE ROM, will I be able to update the phone as if i bought it Pre loaded GPE or must i flash it every time an update rolls out?

If the latter, how long usually is the delay between the official release and the ROM update?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7ftnick:
Conversion to GPE

I you want your phone to be like a stock GPE phone you will need:

Unlock Bootloader and have root or temp root

S-Off (look on the forums here as there are several ways to do it)

Change your model ID to PN0712000 (I have not tested it with diffirent CID or model ID but maybe it will work.)

Change your CID to GOOGL001

after that you can flash the stock GPE rom and then you will be getting OTA updates.

You will get 2 of them, one to android 4.4.3 and then straight away another one to android 4.4.4 which is the current latest android.

You will not be able to install an OTA if you have a custom recovery however,

So if you are looking to root, then save the stock recovery, and after rooting reflash the stock one again.

For information on how to do it search the forums.

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pure Heroine:
Ok so I got my XT1080 few days or whatever and it had the first 4.4 ota, you know the one with the transparent status bar but still that blue jelly bean hue on the status bar etc.... So not thinking of it I just decided to see if there was another ota and there was so I got it and now I want root.... Here's what I want to know please.. Without telling me to go read 30 pages on another post can someone just tell me

Is there root for me

If so do I have to have boot loader unlocked, I've had phones with locked boot loaders and still flashed Roms

Can I flash Roms on this device with a locked boot loader via twrp

I mainly read that you have to downgrade to a certain version use jcase method it something? I got lost in that bounty post..
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluebloomers:
Yes there is!

Note

This little guide assumes you know how to install adb and use basic command-line tools.

First, flash your phone back to a older version with rsdlite. (instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53141176&postcount=6)

Second, use jcase's pie exploit. (instructions: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/orig-development/root-4-4-x-pie-motorola-devices-t2771623/post53128101)

Third, use motowpnomo, but executing "adb shell /data/local/atvc/root.sh" in a separate cmd window every time the device reboots (instructions for motowpnomo: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/orig-development/kill-write-protection-motowpnomo-t2551113 as for the command, just spam it till it goes through)

Forth, install your superuser application (and safestrap if you want custom rom functionality)

Fifth, profit!

Note that you do have read/write access to system and root access, but still a locked bootloader.

Wow I love you!
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdm212:
alright my inner noob is going crazy. i see a zillion threads on how you need to roll back to 4.2.2 rom. my question is do i need to roll back if im on 4.4 stock?

i must have downloaded every tool and rom needed by this point. a step by step would be awesome. lots of tutorials available but im seeing they are mostly off of the x which i do understand is practically a sibling to the ultra and maxx.

any info or step by step would be awesome. lastly if i dont need to roll back to an earlier version that would be super. thanks!!!
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topsnake:
What build of 4.4 are you one? 19.5.3 or 19.6.3?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdm212:
19.5.3 it should be made known i plan on using the phone with t-mobile and the outside hope that i can have a fully functional phone with lte...
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topsnake:
Well that makes things more difficult, TMobile has an LTE to Voice/text handoff issue present in 19.5.3 and 19.6.3. I hear its corrected in 4.4.4. Do you have an unlocked boot loader?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdm212:
Boot loader is not unlocked. However if I do the update I won't be able to get root. Correct?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topsnake:
Correct. You are on the correct version to begin root. With Jcase's pie and run wp off. You can keep that when you update to 19.6.3 however when you update to 4.4.4 youll lose root (unless you preserve it) but you definitely lose wp off
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdm212:
Alright but I won't be able to take advantage of lte I imagine. Right? Can you point me the right direction with a link? So am I correct with root, recovery, rom? Or am I missing some stuff in there? I appreciate the responses!
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topsnake:
Link to what specifically? You dont need to downgrade on your version
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdm212:
Ok to which version? After the downgrade root, recovery, rom? Unlock the boot loader in any of those steps?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topsnake:
You don't need to downgrade of you are on 19.5.3. You just need to run motopie then motowpnomo.

You can't unlock the bootloader unless you have a code or a developer edition.

No recovery or rom needed.

Root-wp off- Root survival mode in supersu- update to 19.6.3 then stay there unless you want to update to 4.4.4 to address the tmobile lte issue

Then the sequence would be Root-wp off- Supersu survival-update to 19.6.3- supersu survival-update 4.4.4
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdm212:
Alright cool, I will start hunting around for all of these tools and threads. Thank you sir!
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topsnake:

What version is it on?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDroidURLookinFor:
19.5.3
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topsnake:
Head over to the motopie thread. Read it. Here's is what you need to do in the order you need to do it.

Root w/pie

Run motowpnomo

Install SU to system.

Verify root

Update to 4.4/19.6.3

Then tell him unless he wants to lose system write access, stay on 19.6.3.

That's what you have to do. It's up to you to read the many threads that explain how to do this.

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kude87:
My opinion? No, keep the Maxx and root (if you can and are on 4.4, if not, disregard). So far I've liked my Maxx the best of any android phone I've had (Droid X, S3, HTC DNA, Note 2, S4, G2) because it is so close to stock android. It's basically why I rooted and rommed in the first place on those phones. Plus, the radio in this phone is incredible. Spanks my other phones hands down.

Maybe a stupid question, but I'm about to root my repalcement Maxx (bad speaker on current one). What is the advantages of disabling write protection? I root mostly to use wifi tethering and to use titanium backup to backup my app data. Will I still be able to do these with wp on?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDroidURLookinFor:
You need to disable write protection to make it stick. If not you loose everything after a reboot.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebe^:
Hi all

Just got the Galaxy S4 4G+ (i9505), and compared to my SGS III LTE (i9305), the automatic screen brightness setting makes the screen very dim, even when brightness compensation is set to +5. I know I can always override the automatic setting, and use apps like Lux, but I would like to stick to the original automatic setting, as its handy.

So my question is, is this a "feature" or a fault only affecting on my device? I have checked that the ambient light sensor seems to be getting similar lux's as my SGS III. Newest official Android 4.3 installed.

Attached is for reference a picture where both phones are set to automatic brightness with no compensation. Ambient day light indoors.

[Nook Touch General] gustan:
Hey guys. So I picked up a NST and it has a few issues.

It will not charge (green light stays on), it is stuck on a lock screen with the "push N to wake up your Nook, will not turn on, and looks for OMAP 3630 drivers when I plug it into my usb cable.

It has already been taken apart and the battery removed. That didn't fix it, nor did the countless ways of resetting it.

I believe that this might be due to a failed root or corrupt partition table. Would anyone be able to help me fix this if I am not able to actually turn it on? I would also prefer not to use Linux if I don't have to. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
You can try booting it with an SD card, noogie or ClockworkMod Recovery.

You could also do USB booting of an image.

That could be a bit more effort setting it up.

Start reading here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2559915&page=39
[Nook Touch General] gustan:
Would it boot even if the NST doesn't turn on? I'd assume that would pose a major problem with anything I try.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
The problem with eInk is never knowing what it's doing.

You said that an OMAP3630 USB interface pops up, so it's not dead.

Put something on an SD card and see if it boots.
[Nook Touch General] gustan:
Yeah, will do.

What's odd is that is connects and disconnects the usb every three or so seconds. I can hear the unplug/plug windows alert. It looks like a bootloader issue more than anything. I was going to try the CWM method first.

Edit: So I tried Clockwork and Noogie. Neither work as the device cannot reboot or even turn on. I need to plug it into the micro USB cable for it to even turn one. When it was connected to my computer, it still tries mounting/ejecting every few seconds.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
It could be that it thinks that the power is not good.

Try booting an SD card with a charger plugged in.

If this doesn't work, try taking it apart and disconnecting the battery.

If you had a kernel console connected (requires soldering) you could see what it doesn't like.
[Nook Touch General] gustan:
The only way I can boot it is with it being plugged in., also I've already tried booting it without the battery to no avail. This nook is quite stubborn :/
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
It needs the battery connected in any case.

u-boot.bin is quite strict about requiring a battery.

I meant disconnect and reconnect the battery.

Are you saying that it boots now?
[Nook Touch General] gustan:
Oh, in that case I did do so.

No, it does not appear to boot. What I meant was that when i connect it to my computer, it shows a green light, I hear the usb mounting noise on my computer, the LED flashes orange for a split second, and then I hear it unmount. I would assume that it's trying to boot, but can't. The screen still shows the same picture.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
The screen is a higher-level function.

You won't get anything to change until the system is pretty happy.

We have no information here to go on.

We can't tell what it's doing.

You've already disconnected/reconnected the battery.

You can try the USB booting as listed above and see how far it gets.

You can solder in a level converter to UART1 and see what's going on.

That's about it.
[Nook Touch General] gustan:
Alright, I'll just assume it's a list cause. Thanks for the help.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
You've charged it overnight and tried to boot it (30 seconds on the power button) with the charger still connected and a good noogie image on an SD card?

Can you check the voltage on the battery?

I'd go through the whole deal with the USB image booting and see if you can get anything working.
[Nook Touch General] gustan:
Usb image booting might work, but it looks like I'd need Linux, and I have no spare boxes left. Cant find a way to do it in windows.

I'll try charging it overnight, but i already tried changing it for about 5 hours
