I was rooted and messed up some system file and now my phone is soft bricked.

how do I unbrick it ? I seen this one to update firmware to ZV7 . one person said he had to do the zv7 then upgrade to get it to the latest firmware. Will this work ? http://www.rwilco12.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=96 I can enter download mode and do factory reset but need to know if this way will work on my device. this one is a sprint phone.
[General Questions and Answers] KkdGab:
First try reset. If doesn't work do dwnld mode
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
if you messed up the system files, you will need to re-flash stock to fix it.

all the files and guidance you need can be found here.
[General Questions and Answers] ryan012:
I tried the link you gave earlier but the program used uses a kdz file. I didn't know which one to use. What are all the files needed on the link you gave ? Which KDZ files are used for each different phone companies of LG G2 ?

I chose to use the download from the link I showed and fixed it from the "LG G2 Stock" folder download by following the instructions.

The link that I posted is the one for Sprint ZV7. Using that it unbricks it and then had to update software from ZV7 to ZV8 to ZVA to ZVC to ZVD. Not it's all updated.
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
i dont understand the problem.

there is a "sprint" directory on the downloads page with only sprint files there (including 3 of the builds you mentioned).
[General Questions and Answers] ryan012:
On the flash tool it says to select a kdz file. On the firmware link it shows different kdz files but which one is suppose to be used if it is ?

In the Sprint directory (home > Xda > LG G2 > Stock > Sprint) it shows a .dll file and some zip files. I looked at one zip file and it don't have a kdz file. Is that needed to use that flash tool ?

Hi,

I just wondered if there is any way of increasing the brightness of the torch? It's crap.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
it is posible but i havent tested at all to see if its safe
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackos:
I got a prototype mod for increasing the LED brightness, but I'm not going to release it. I think it significantly decreases the LED's lifespan.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamalaggi:
Hi,

Could you please share on how to do this? I will test it out.

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
ill be testing some more when i can however its very dangerous for me as i wouldent be able to aford a repair or a new z2 for a very long time

[MENTION=856195]Jackos[/MENTION]

i descovered the LED hates voltages being too low, (same goes obviously for too high)' it doesnt dim down but it just doesnt light up

i also descovered the LED gets hot as it is being on for about 1-2mins
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackos:
I think that overall it's a low quality LED.

Well, if you burn that LED, you can still send your Z2 for a warranty repair ;)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
i found i had no problems after lowering brightness, heating is gone totaly but it was less bright, ive lowered brightness in my rom but im going to make the flash for camera alot brighter, perhaps stock or more by a tiny bit
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iSiddharth:
Increasing the brightness of torch can be harmful for the Hardware as it may overheat and cause problems with the Camera.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
wont do anything to the camera, it will damage Led light only
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
they are seperate units with their own information.

the camera app has control of the LED flash, the led flash has its own settings in the system which determines its brightness and voltage.

the camera hardware does not have anything to do with flash aside the flash assisting camera use.

I have the opportunity to upgrade. Should I get the galaxy s5?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKid1:
Lol idk. What are the circumstances?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Supamike88:
Circumstances?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I personally wouldn't. Not with the Note 4 right around the corner.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nirogu325:
1. Note 4 around the corner to be announced early September.

2. GS5 to Samsung is getting old. Expect GS6 to be announced as soon as the GS5 was in earlier months.

3. 2015's smartphones will surely start to get the new generation in RAM, DDR4L, along with 64-bit CPUs which will be more future proof than what's available for the rest of 2014.

So yes, it's up to you. Good things come to those who wait.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Supamike88:
I'm not really in a rush. Honestly the main thing I'm interested in a phone with a battery that lasts all day with moderate use.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
The GS6 will probably be released around Feb next year. If past models are any indication, it wont be much different or offer much more than the Note 4.

Samsung will stage it (announce) on Sept 3, and its rumored it will be released between Sept 15-28.

http://www.sammobile.com/2014/08/07/galaxy-note-4-release-could-take-place-after-september-15th/

http://www.sammobile.com/2014/08/08...essor-for-galaxy-note-4-reportedly-confirmed/

Be sure to check out the related articles for more info. Looks like it'll have 3gb ram, 32gb storage, Qualcomm 805, Adreno 420, 16MP camera, retina scanner, etc.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Supamike88:
Since my main concern is battery, could you recommend a good battery for the s3 until a better phone comes out?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
If it were me, id go with a stock one. You can find em pretty cheap online. Just make sure you ask what the date is and don't buy anything over 6-8 months old or used.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Supamike88:
What about those Zero Lemon ones? I read they can last a couple days with regular use
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Lots of people seem to like them. But don't expect it to always report correctly. Ive seen wuite a few posts where people would claim the battery died really fast or just wasn't showing the correct amount remaining. Ime, this is a common thing with aftermarket batteries. You might get longer life out of them, but I personally have just always felt original stock is more reliable.

Also, if you do go with an extended battery, be aware that they often will not allow any protective cases to fit anymore.

In the end, im not saying they are bad products, but it comes down to your own preference. Andv regardless of what you choose to get, try to make sure they dont send one thats been sitting on a shelf for a year or more. (The mord popular the battery, the less likely youd have to worry about this. Zero Lemon is probably the most popular btw)

Hope that helps!

My Kurio 7 is running Android 4.4.2 KitKat (the tablet is only a year old and already has Google Play on it) whereas the script appears to be for ICS, could this be the problem?

When I bought my Xperia I thought its audio sucks so I did some equalizers after some time I can only hear from the right side of the headphones even if I change headphones problem remains the same
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schlengge:
Sounds like a hardware issue.

Send it in for repair.

I can not imagine that an equalizer causes this. Make sure you really insert your headphones FULLY into the phone. While the phone is new this sometimes requires a bit harder pressure. If this doesnt help it needs repair.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a1b2c3901:

You can restore to stock to make sure it's not a software problem, btw.

[One (M8) Accessories] PcFish:
I loved the one for the M7 and had to get it for the M8. Pics in the imgur link.

IMO the best aluminum bumper out there.

They fixed the tactileness of the volume button and cutouts are perfect. I particularly love how they cut out the top for the IR blaster. The edges are flush with my glass screen protector. The bolts are now allen key hex head with bigger bolt heads. PS didn't affect my reception on both the M7 and M8 for Tmo US.

http://imgur.com/a/EmIRy#0

Warning didn't sort.
[One (M8) Accessories] kennonk:
Looks really nice. Price is a little too steep for me though. $50 for an aluminium bumper when there are a few for less than half that. I am wondering if it is worth the premium.
[One (M8) Accessories] PcFish:
You're right. I have bought a couple $10 ones off eBay. Those were flimsy compared to the DevilCase and the buttons never worked for me. The DC is easy to slip on and it seems like they put effort into it if that helps.

Though I'm the kind of guy that would buy $70 custom dbrand skins.
[One (M8) Accessories] suparnemo:
What did this cost you if you don't mind me asking? Have you noticed any issues with signal?
[One (M8) Accessories] xHighAlert:
The lanyard loop on the bottom has basically sold me on this case.

I saw a 60FPS sample video from a concert on Reddit. That video sold this phone to me.

However I WILL NOTE bring my phone to a concert as crazy as I go with no wrist-strap.

This is the only case I've seen so far with one. Anyone know of some others with lanyard loops?
[One (M8) Accessories] ULAMSS5:
Finally, a proper bumper for M8.

I've tried *all* the cheap variants, ~$10 each(likely produced by same factory), extremely thin, their fits are not snug, your phone may slide around, even scratch itself on the case. I added a layer of soft electrical tape all around the internals to get them to fit better. Impacts on the corners will easily dent/bend the cases such that they may not fit anymore. One of them even sliced INTO the back of my phone, chipping the corners(a painful sight). After a while(~1 week), they'll start expanding, becoming looser around the middle and developing a soft bulge.

This costs roughly $32 USD, I'm not sure about shipping(I can only read simplified chinese). If I'm not wrong, each package comes with 5 sets of stickers for the front and back(shown in the video). Best part is that the bumper is designed just well enough to keep elevate the back of the phone off the table when placed on its back(shown in last image), none of the cheaper variants do that, though one of them do have thick fronts, suggesting to place the phone screen-down(no contact).

OP, please help clarify what I couldn't! And nice find!
[One (M8) Accessories] yuppicide:
This case looks great. I don't know of any cases off hand that have an IR cutout. I can't believe they make so many cases without that.
[One (M8) Accessories] PcFish:
They're $49.99 on Amazon Prime. (USA) I wanted a premium bumper for my premium phone.

http://www.amazon.com/DevilCase-Alu...=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1407767057&sr=1-2

Black, Titanium Gray, Silver, Red, Champagne Gold.

Looks like all that's available are Red, Blue and Silver

I don't think US customers get a skin (mine didn't)

DevilCase only officially sells through Amazon to the US. I have my dbrand on anyway.

EDIT: The skins are about $8 USD

http://www.amazon.com/DevilCase-Bac..._3_m?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1407767701&sr=1-3

Half the price of the dbrand (Except it looks like the front doesn't wrap around like the dbrand)

But yeah, I had the same bumper for the M7 and threw my phone around no problems. No flex to the bumper at all.

Yeah, they actually boast about it on their website lol.

EDIT: Just got to work, where I normally have crappy T-Mo US coverage. It's about the same. Don't notice any difference in signal when I'm redditting.
[One (M8) Accessories] suparnemo:
Hey just so you guys know, you can order from the taiwan website! They will ship it international and include a guide to purchase for foreigners as well. The grey seems to be out of stock on anything but the taiwan site, so I am going to try ordering from there!
[One (M8) Accessories] citronbull:
I hope they make it in plastic or polycarbonate. Metal just kills the reception.
[One (M8) Accessories] ULAMSS5:
I think that's why they left the top of the phone uncovered. Since the M8 is wrapped in metal except for the top and the screen, most of the antenna are likely to be at the top, so this wouldn't interfere with signals so much. Then again, this is just a guess.

The previous bumpers I've used which wraps around entirely do noticeably affect signal strength, though.
[One (M8) Accessories] PcFish:
The antenna goes under the white strips on the back.

The top is just for the IR blaster, really.
[One (M8) Accessories] charly-whiskey:
Received mine here in Germany from Taiwan today, ordered directly from their website. Took 9 days, price including shipping was 37,50 €, plus 7,19 € import tax, which I payed when I picked it up from customs.

No reception loss, fits perfect, and the skins are included (all available colours).

Best decision since buying the One M8. :good:
[One (M8) Accessories] NoNo1234:
Ordered mine one week ago from France.

For those people like me from country where it is impossible to ordered in amazon.com, here is my workaround, shipito.com.

Make an account on that site, pay 5 dollars, get an US address, send the DevilCase to the US address.

When shipito receive it, send it to your address.

Will post pictures when getting mine :)

Bumper

So just to clarify, if you have the face up the back is completely off the surface it's laid on? And likewise if the screen is down? I really like the look of it, and really interested.
[One (M8) Accessories] PcFish:
Correct, Face down, the bumper is flush with my glass screen protector. Just enough to lay flat but not touch the front. On the back the lip is higher on the top and bottom and it's curved a little bit.
