Changing the motherboard takes less than 30 mins for a professional. However, if there are a lot of phones submitted to the service center, your's might get delayed. Also depends on whether they have refurbished motherboards in stock or not.

So, your guess is as good as mine regarding the time taken by LG.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charlus97:
Well, I'm sure that anyone here would take less than 30min to change nexus5's motherboard (seems easy enougth).

I think the problem will be for the identification of the problem (runing many tests, flashing custom images, to be sure tyhat's a motherboard fault) :/
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thor1k:
things like this are why it's nice to buy your phone using an Amex credit card..extended warranty as a function of purchasing with the card.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charlus97:
Unfortunalty, we don't have that type of credit card in France. The only thing you can have (with *super* exepnsive credit card) is an warranty of 2 years instead of 1 year. But you have to deal with the constructor of your device :/
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You get 2 years extended warranty as a member state of the EU, with the manufacturer. This is actual warranty though (manufacturer defect) not what some American s call extended warranty, which to us is "insurance"
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thor1k:
mine's free, no insurance about it. EU has some serious problems (unified currency with diversified political authority, maybe copyright, but their patents especially are a joke) but their consumer protection laws like this are nice.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charlus97:
Da**** ? Do you have any links of this ? Never heard of that before (and many times I get my device refused because warranty expired (after 1 year of use in general)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charlus97:
Well... Depends of the case. Consumer protection isn't the same everywhere : In france, we got a legal delay of 7 (14 depending of the case) days to return ANY product without needing to give the seller any reason. But, in other countries of UE, that's not the case. So, when you buy something inside UE on websites (like ebay, etc) you never know what you're risking :/
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLastSidekick:
I wasn't aware as the bootloader flags had to be set to untampered with to claim warranty I thought they checked stock recovery for that information. Some others have claimed warranty without resetting the flags, but from the looks of the thread I wouldn't take chances and instead reset the tamper flags. I guess it depends on the technician at LG that gets your phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thor1k:
I've heard if people getting away with it but I've heard of people getting g caught and then getting frustrated (HTC). honestly I don't know why you would take the chance.

[Galaxy S III Mini General] Char_G:
I don't know who all these people are that you say are complaining, I asked a simple question & you haven't answered it. Was vroot banned from XDA & if so, has the ban been lifted?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Char_G:
That's all well & good but you still haven't answered my question as to whether or not vroot was ever or still is banned from XDA.I won't be needing your help in rooting my device, good day..
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Jonny:
Both KingoRoot and VRoot were at one point banned from XDA as they did not uphold the license agreements that came with some of the exploits used. In addition to that both root methods used to collect IMEI numbers and store them on a server for "statistics".

However, once they were made aware of our concerns both companies have since fixed these issues and are no longer banned from XDA.

I will try and list some common problems and fixes for the P6

Part 1 Tools

Make Sure You have the following software:

Adb/fastboot driver :

http://adbdriver.com/upload/AdbDriverInstaller.exe

Minimal ADB and Fastboot : https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1S0LCuXCnnmSWh6NGJmSE1BUWc/edit

(credits to respective dev's)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] digijedi007:
Part 2

Part 2

Connection Issues: Here are a few examples

Adb keeps saying adb waiting-on-device

Device manager says unknown device,

Just shows an error next to the p6's name.

If fast-boot, or your phone managing app doesn't pick up the phone.

Possible Fixes

Check if the cable is still in a good condition

Try a different usb port especially if you are using usb 3 ports

Make sure usb-debugging is turned on(to do so goto settings>developer options>usb debugging) (if developer options is missing goto about phone>tap on build number multiple times to enable it)

Try to install drivers the linked to in the thread or try these ones that Snoop05 made

Try Rebooting your PC, and Or phone

If you are having issues with adb or fastboot make sure you have the correct driver installed(control panel>administrative tools>Computer management>device manager
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] digijedi007:
Part 3

Boot loop​

Possible fixes:

Method 1 (only applicable if you already had a custom recovery before bootloop)

If you have a custom recovery installed like twrp, reboot into recovery by>holding pwr+vol up+vol down until it reboots and loads recovery. then Format The following:

System

Cache

Dalvik Cache

Cust

Data

Then try to install a rom. you can find some here XDA during its install format the above mentioned again but do not format internal or external memory. or you can install the new B5x firmware's which are very stable and have little to no problems

Method 2 (if you had stock recovery before bootloop)

Download http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407572611 then

Put the img folder in your adb directory(if you use the provided adb software it should be (x64 bit- C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot ) (x86 bit C:\Program Files\Minimal ADB and Fastboot) then>

Reboot into recovery by>holding pwr+vol up+vol down until it reboots and loads recovery> then

On your computer use the minimal adb then

type

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery.img

fastboot reboot recovery

Then follow instructions of method 1

Also Possibility 3 (Could be that the rom you are trying to use is corrupt or that it is missing files so try a different one

UPDATE: I just happen to remember that i needed to flash the modem for the firmware I flashed. When I did that the wifi worked!!

Hi

I know there are numerous threads regarding the issue of wifi not turning on after some type of flashing. But there doesn't seem to be any answers that pertain to my problem.

My SPH-L600 Mega is rooted and came stock 4.2.2 L600VPUANA7. Everything including wifi has worked fine. The problems began when I Odin flashed SPR-L600VPUAMK1 stock firmware. It was successful. But I kept getting a System UI error that wouldn't quit. So I ended up just flashing the L600VPUANA7 stock rooted firmware back to the phone. That fixed the problem. But then Wifi would not turn on. Others seem to have had this problem. And on other phones, they found solutions. But I can't exactly flash another custom rom since there doesn't seem to be any made for this model. I installed numerous wifi "fix" apks that I downloaded. They changed nothing. I did a complete factory reset from custom recovery. But the wifi still doesn't work. I am looking for something else I haven't tried yet. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi,

I recently purchased a CS918 android box (with bluetooth) from ebay and I am trying to find a firmware which has true 1080p. The current stock firmware seem to only upscale to 1080p and I am also having some judder with video playback. I have opened up the device and found the model to be CYX_CS918_V2_3 20140510. I have tried googling this for myself and have only found one post relevant to this model, but it wasn't very clear. Has anyone found a compatible 1080p firmware for this device? I'll attach a picture of the system info.Thank you.

[Moto X Q&A] rommanager:
My moto x is XT1052 retail version, and I was regret to update to 4.4.4, so I flashed 4.4.2 version, but I stucked at partition so I stopped and find ways to back to 4.4.4, but I can't find a 4.4.4 asia retail version image for me to restore my phone via fastboot command, do anyone have the EU or Asia retail image of 4.4.4 of XT1052? I really need help!! Thank you soooo much!!!
[Moto X Q&A] danger2u:
what do u mean Asia??

where u get the phone??

if is its retail XT1052 is the european one.

flash recovery img from 4.4.2 EU then reboot the bootloader and flash again ALL the firmware.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Actually, there IS an "AsiaRetail" variant of the XT1052 as well.

You should have never attempted to downgrade. It is posted literally all over these forums to not attempt this. There is no 4.4.4 FXZ for any of the XT1052 variants yet. You can try some methods, but they all have risk. The only safe way to recover is to wait for the 4.4.4 FXZ to be released, but there's no telling when that will happen.

Some have had success by skipping the "flash partition gpt.bin" command, but if you do this you are at risk of bricking when you take the update back to 4.4.4. Again, some have been successful, but anyone that tells you it is completely safe is mistaken.

Good Luck :good:

Hello

So Im a bit of a photographer I've been looking of a new tablet to work on my projects on the go (or from the couch). I was originally looking at a Surface Pro 2 as you can pick up a used one pretty cheap around $600, but then I have a heavy hot laptop thing in my hands while I'm working. So I thought why not use Remote Desktop to asses my PC then have one copy of my images and just use the tablet as a screen.

So this is my question would I still have pen control/ sensitivity? Has anyone done this? Im sure Im going to run into network speed issues and will have to hard wire my laptop to my router (I need to do this anyway).

Thanks

does anyone know of a combined sip/gsm dialer program for the wizard/wm5? This is to be a feature in 'crossbow' and truphone.com is alledgly working on such a program although they dont have theirs out yet.

I was wondering if anyone knew of anything that exists today that did this.

It would also be nice if you could use the phone speaker instead of 'speakerphone' when making a sip call. While bluetooth is nice, its not that great of an option for me since I use wifi and the two fight for the RF spectrum and range is greatly diminished and a wired headset is sometimes bothersome.

I am currently using the wm5 beta of sjphone, which isnt bad, although it doesnt give me one integrated app for calling people ...

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] NinjaWolf:
OK so i bought this broken nexus 7 off ebay with intents of fixing it, he gave me two lcds, one(good lcd, bad digitizer) and two(okay lcd, good digitizer). upon trying to charge it, nothing appears or lights up. And if trying to turn on, it displays an empty battery icon. i opened it up and disconnected the battery to see if i could bypass the battery to run straight off the usb, no luck. i am thinking its a bad charging port. Any ideas?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] idCyber:
It could be the charging port or it could be something else on the motherboard. Almost the same thing happened on my SGS GT-i9000. I couldn't turn it on, and when I plugged it in, I got only an empty battery with a circle showing up . I couldn't make it boot. So I took it to a GSM service and the guy there said that some connections on the motherboard were fried and the charging port was damaged, so I left the phone to him and 2 days later I got it back repaired for 20 Euros. I recommend you take it to a service, or if your got the know-how, replace the charging port(very cheap), hopefully it will be fixed.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] xZero707:
So I'm the owner of the infamous MediaPad 7 Lite [WiFi only] or S7-931w and there is hacking challenge ahead.

As Huawei rarely updates FW for S7-931w and original FW is buggy, I decided to experiment in some way: I put S7-931u FW on S7-931w tablet.

That should work perfectly as both tablets are same by hardware, except that S7-931u have 3G modem.

So after flashing and tablet boot, everything is perfect but there is annoying message on the screen: "Failed to update modem" that will sit on the screen and not go away.

[IMG="Screenshot of error"]https://imgx.elite7hackers.net/vKJ7se1IG3o3s/2014/08/10/Screenshot2014-08-10-15-43-2159WC.png[/IMG]

Now, I seeking for a way to remove that message. As I'm not very experienced android developer, I have no idea how to remove it. Maybe to remove modem driver? Or some modifications on firmware before flashing?

I would like to stay on this firmware as it's seems to be more stable and faster than one for S7-931w.

Thanks in advance.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] prometej-zg:
Well I'm not sure that removing modem driver is an easy task.. because the firmware of this tablet is a real mess - but you can try.. because you said you are experimenting. That probably includes rooting of the device, and/or maybe even custom ROM-ing :)

I own S7-931U with SP19 firmware version and it is not stable at all - at least on my tablet

Wifi version that you have has only reached SP01 version as you can see on this link.

But if you really want to experiment (and don't mind translating from russian) do check 4PDA forum.. they also have some stuff for MediaPad 7 Lite tablets.

Good luck.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] xZero707:
It's already rooted. But I do not have experience with removing drivers on android, so yes, it will be tricky.

Ohh I see that you are also from Croatia, that explains why we both have MediaPad 7 Lite. This tablet is pure crap, but for basic task can be a bit frustrating because of it's "awesome speed". Maybe it can be less useless with better firmware.

I'll check that Russian stuff, it may help.

EDIT: I checked but I don't see anything useful. I would like to know how to edit Huawei firmware by my self like Russian guy did. I managed to open update.app with 7-zip and check all 3 archives (931U.zip, 932U.zip, 933U.zip) contained in it.

Each archive contains 2 files:

- MOBILE_CONNECT.BIN

- UpdateWizard (No extension) - File seems to be an ELF file determined by header.

I have no idea how I should edit anything of that.

This firmware is become open source but I don't know how to edit it either.

I would appreciate if someone can explain me or provide me some tutorial for such, If I get involved and done something, I'll publish it so others may also enjoy the benefits.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] prometej-zg:
Well most of us got this tablet for an "T-Contract" :)

I don't have enough experience with customizing ROM-s, so I'm not much of a help, but here are two links which may help you disassemble original ROM.

[GUIDE] How to extract Huawei firmware (update.app)

[TOOL] Huawei Update Extractor [UPDATED: v0.9.8.0]

App on the second link is a believe easier to setup if you are on windows platform.

Btw.. you are probably on your own on this experiment, because I've search for some answers on the subject of this tablet, and got none (even nothing from Huawei!)... That is why a gave up trying.. Only thing I've seen new is open source stuff on Huawei pages.

I guess people (or even worse Huawei) are just not interested to create something better for this tablet. :(

At least some users on this forum and Freaktab.com, helped with rooting and TWRP custom recovery... I can only thank them for their effort ;)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] xZero707:
Yeah "T-Contract", as 80% of Croats, me included.

But you helped me a lot, you bring me things I didn't even known that are exist for this tablet.

If I make some success, I'll post about it.

And yes, Huawei have NO interest for it - They even removed S7-931w support from their site - SHAME.

It's a bad tablet, slow and as you said with messy firmware, that's probable reason why almost nobody works on it, or maybe nobody have enough courage to challenge Huawei MediaPad 7 Lite? Who knows :P
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] xZero707:
Some update, I used extractor to extract the firmware, after extraction I extracted system.img and under bin directory found guilty script:

modem_update

The problem is that this script is probably called by another, so how to stop that chain....
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] prometej-zg:
I have attached recovery log file from mine S7-931u model using SP19 firmware.

Maybe it can be helpful to you, because it contains some stuff near the end of the file related to modem installation and partitions (?!)

EDIT: I forgot to mention... as I understand (not excatly sure about details!) rild is command/daemon that helps communication between modem device and Android code (I believe there is something about that on Stackoverflow forum).. so maybe this may also be your point of interest.?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] xZero707:
As I see by viewing the log you shared, it even creates special "modem" partition.

This maybe even complicates the things, maybe I could change creating modem partition.

As experimenting with Android partitions is never good idea, I need to be extremely careful as there is possibility of bricking device.

Do you maybe know where I can find script which handles installation process?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] prometej-zg:
Sorry I haven't investigate Android very deep so I don't know what is the script in charge of installation procedure. :(

Maybe if you check init.rc and/or init.<machine_name>.rc scripts/service or maybe even updater_script... maybe you can find some more clues, about what is going on during boot procedure and/or installation.
