[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] caffeinetripp:
Like many people out there with the S3, we've got problems flashing back to stock firmware. Over the past week I was not very impressed with the firmware that I flashed as it was having issues randomly restarting, the camera didn't work, rear LED didn't work, and the screen itself was very laggy. Back to stock, but rooted, to get rid of all the bloatware.

Anyway, the problem I was having, along with others, was Odin 3.07/3.09 was failing on Get PIT for Mapping. It would fail every single time. Didn't matter what I did; switch to another USB, another port, change firmware, nothing mattered. But, in my instance, I've so far solved it, but sheer luck it appears.

I downloaded the firmware from SamMobile, using a Samsung ST150F camera USB instead of the stock USB and the blue Dynex cable (which works much better than the stock cable.

Using an old Toshiba Satellite P205D-S7438's upper left USB port, laptop is running Windows 7 32bit.

All Samsung drivers were installed before starting Odin.

So, here's what I did exactly:

1: Download Samsung Switch from Play Store, connect phone while on and functioning.

2: Start Odin 3.07.

3: Load firmware from SamMobile onto PDA.

4: Wait until Odin says "Leave CS" then restart S3 into Download Mode/Odin Mode (Hold Power, Volume Up, and Home key. Release Power key after first vibration).

5: Odin will print "Removed" then "Added" after phone has restarted.

6: Click "Start" then wait.

So far it's working flawlessly as it's "optimizing" apps. We'll give a good test run to make sure that all is well.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labpedro:
Quick question. My G3 developed a screen fault on the 6th so i rang three for repair. LG sent out all the envelopes, padded and special delivery so i sent the phone back on the 9th which they signed for on the 11th. Apparrently that isnt the day they count their 3-5 days from, as that starts at the point it gets to the technicians. I spoke to a guy on monday whio simply said its with the technicians and to wait...its a pain in the backside as i am phoneless, am paying for a contract that i cant use and see no timescales. the guy on the phone on monday wasnt much help (though not his fault i suppose) but as im going away next week i kinda want the phone back before i go. has anyone sent their phones back to LG and got it back quick or is it looking unlikely that it will be back by next week? Its a pain as they havent told me a thing, havent said if they are going to mail me, ring me etc. not good though that its lasted less than a month before needing repair, after my very light usage of it. should i keep ringing them to chase them along?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lossah:
Also had a bad screen. After two months the middle of the screen just stopped worked, in a horizontal line.

Called my reseller and said that it could take one month maximum to get it fixed (she couldnt say anything more in detail). Thats insane, imo. :P Especially since its here in Sweden and bought from a well known reseller with quick and good support. But yeah, i sent it to LGs service center.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labpedro:
Apparrently it has been repaired and is being returned today so i should get it backl in the next day or 2...lets see if they say what was wrong with it?

[HTC One E8] hazardleader:
Hello, i own also a HTC ONE E8 DUAL SIM (M8SW) with the China ROM on it. This ROM has not the Possibility to UPDATE the Android, is missing this Point in the options Menu. Could you tell me someone where ich can Download another Country ROM who works this OTA function?? Maybe INDIAN oder better another EUROPEAN version. SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP HERE?

THANKS
[HTC One E8] matthijsph:
I would say you have to unlock bootloader (1), go s-off (2), change CID (3), flash international stock ROM and possibly lock the bootloader to get OTA updates. How it's done is explained in several threads here.

One of my own posts containing information on 1, 2 & 3:
[HTC One E8] applebabyxp:
thanks for the information

i have try to change the ro.product.language and region to en GB , but after reboot, it resumed to zh, CN ....

i just want to change the blinkfeed to hk or tw source..... any idea? ^_^
[HTC One E8] matthijsph:
I'm pretty sure that you are still s-on then...

S-on prevents you from making changes to system.
[HTC One E8] applebabyxp:
yes, you are correct, i find still s-on :p

i try firewater (free) but fail ... :crying: , anyway thank for your sharing :good:
[HTC One E8] sumit0110:
any success?

Hello.. any success? I am also in same situation.. have M8SW, and need other country ROM.

So I can get local blinkfeed, and language support. Though I have changed language to English, some pop-ups still come in Chinese.. guess system related messages.. and default market is not google play, but gives option of either HTC market place /game center.. when I get reminders about app updates. So when I open Google play and then update apps from menu, it works fine.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saddie22:
Hi everyone. I have just rooted, installed a recovery and backed up my nandroid image, and am getting ready to flash a ROM on my XP. Few questions if you have time:

- I understand that I can flash a new ROM with a locked bootloader.

- Can I flash a new kernel alone with a locked bootloader? Or do I have to unlock my BL first?

- When I go to the 'Kernel' section here there are only three kernels listed - is this all there is available, or am I looking in the wrong spot?

Many thanks XDA!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tech N You:
Unlocking bootloader only allows you to flash custom kernel and you are looking in right section only.

Unlocking bootloader results in loss of all sorts of DRM keys i.e. Bravia Engine, clear audio+, clear bass etc.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Furrydaus:
-It is usually a must to unlock the bootloader to flash a custom kernel

-The 3 kernels are Williams, DooMKernel and the Nayyak Kernel all of them server different purposes:

*Williams aims to be the best of both worlds with one supporting SONY firmwares and the other supporting CM/MIUI

*DooMKernel aims to be the best in the original SONY Firmware market offering a variety of features

*Nayyak is a minimalist sort of kernel like Williams

-Some ROMs Include their own KERNEL so READ their threads CAREFULLY (They are usually incompatible with locked bootloaders)

Regards,

Furrydaus
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamm86:
Wrong. It is used for CM based ROM's.

Anyway, don't use this one as development has stopped because the dev nolonger has an Xperia SP.

I have downloaded the android sdk on mac and have both fastboot and adb however I cant seem to get the device to recognize fastboot on the computer. I believe this is because I lack the drivers however i'm pretty new at this and don't know for sure. a screen shot of the nexus 5 when it has recognized the mac would be much appreciated...I believe it is supposed to say fastboot usb right? also how to make it recognize the device? sorry for the long post thanks for the help :):):)

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfleegle:
U have a stock Galaxy Tab S T800, and among weird battery issues I posted about here, my touch key lights won't turn on at all. I've tried setting the duration to 1.5 seconds, 6 seconds, and Always On, and they never come on. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a setting somewhere else that could be disabling the touch key lights?

Never mind, I found the setting in Power Save Mode to disable the Touch Key Lights.

This is what my config.xml overlay looks like over on GitHub

I've compared to other repositories and it looks fine but I cannot figure out what's causing this error. I would like to keep it in my overlay instead of directly editing config.xml in frameworks/base/core.

And finally, here's my source up on GitHub.

Thank you guys for still developing MIUI on our device. :)

I witnessed only a few bugs:

# unable to take screenshots - MIUI shows "Unable to save screenshot. Storage may be in use."

# Calendar app doesn't show Google calendar - in Settings it allows me to sync Google calendar, but it doesn't show up in the Calendar app. Only options are Birthday reminder and Local calendar.

# installed WSM Tools and the Mi-Tools module, bet when opening Mi-Tools it shows that i have an unsupported OS, therefore some things don't work (this problem might related to me disabling some MIUI apps)

The ROM feels and is actually faster than the previous versions than were based on Stock JB 4.1.2 version. Ram management isn't bad at all - still not as good on any other ROM but actually can multitask 2-3 apps at the same time. :) Battery is also quite good - now the ROM actually goes to deep sleep when you're not using it.
