Has anyone tried the ONSCREEN Browser from http://www.onspeedmobile.com/ on a BA?

Extra speed would be useful

Any suggestions for enhancing internet browsing appreciated
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] rafa1215:
Get this browser instead

http://www.operamini.com/

I've been using it ever since beta1 and love how simple and fast it is. If you read the details it does almost everything this one does.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] CJBS:
I'd second the Opera Mini reccomendation. The only problems I have with it relate to the Midlet Manager hanging sometimes. In terms of browser speed though, with the pre-parsing and image shrinking, one would think one was using a PC to browser... Further, it's free!

Hi,

I dropped my phone(MIRO) on floor, which resulted the non responsiveness in screen. Soon i got the Screen replaced and ever since the problem started.

1) Overheating: Its overheating like anything, even after hours batter doesn't charge.

2) Unable to boot: due to battery issues, phone died in the middle of flashing process, ever since i couldn't turn it on.

Can someone please suggest me something, i'd like to avoid submitting it to Sony repair center as they charge hell lot of money as phone is out of warrently(rooted already).
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] rajagennu:
Is it from Sony store ?

You can flash a new FTF , which will avoid your rooting.

Hello,

trying to get root by unlocking the bootloader first (using preload recovery TWRP lastest + tamper bit mod) but I keep getting this error:

booting...

FAILED (remote: Device not unlocked cannot boot)

finished. total time: 0.406s

So I can't preload the custom recovery, is there any way of rooting on this oneplus firmware without wiping the whole device?

Any help would be much appreciated..

Edit: This isn't a reroot, this is first time root/unlock
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Did you type fastboot oem unlock?

Your bootloader is locked and needs to be unlocked.

If fastboot oem unlock does not unlock it, then you need to fastboot boot into recovery.

Flash tamper, unlock, and then afterwords, adb sideload SuperSU.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] therightperson_630:
Umm thanks, I could have, but I really don't want to wipe everything, I got everything set up how I want with lots of data..I was looking for a way *without* wiping everything.. fastboot oem unlock will be my last resort tbh.

I thought with such a developer friendly phone there might be a way to overcome this problem
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FITRS:
Yeah, I'm in the same boat as you. Unfortunately after all my reading, it seems impossible as CM did it as a preventative measure to secure your data.

I'm going to do a back up of everything and then a reflash to 25R where battery life was best, then unlock and reboot.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Well thats the whole point, the OnePlus One is a very developer friendly phone indeed. Thats why you get the "keys" to unlock the phone with a simple command instead of using a exploit to flash a custom recovery.

On 25R bootloader, it was possible but as of now there isn't a way to root without unlocking the bootloader. You can read the thread here, http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/help/root-unlocking-bootloader-t2820628

This is why when people just now get a phone that has the ability to fastboot oem unlock, I suggest them to unlock their bootloaders as the first thing to do.

Backup all of your data and move forward. Best of luck.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
if you truly want to restore everything there are apps that will zip up all your data and you can flash in one session after wiping your phone. If you are reloading the exact same software it should not be an issue. check google and playstore for such apps like app2zip
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] therightperson_630:
app2zip requires root, which I can't get if I've not unlocked the bootloader, which means wiping everything...app2zip won't help here but thanks for the suggestion
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
oh yea my bad I forgot about the root part. I usually root right away so my bad..
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webpatrick:
Sorry, but the only way is to unlock the bootloader. You could use Helium backup, also some Apps themselves have great backup functionality.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Yep. Gotta unlock it. No idea why people don't just do that in the first place.

Transmitted via Bacon
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] therightperson_630:
Because most people set up their phone before getting stuck into rooting and the like. Just as I did. I think locking the bootloader is good in theory, but the average user wouldn't know how to brick their phone even if the bootloader was already unlocked, so why do it?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
The difference between having a locked and unlocked bootloader is simply flashing custom recoveries or radios/etc. Theres no harm in doing leaving your bootloader unlocked.

The bootloader has to be locked out of the box, I believe its one of the criterias needed to be fulfilled in order to be approved for Google Apps (Play Store,etc). Also, it doesn't make sense to have a bootloader unlocked for average users.

Just unlock the bootloader and learn from your lesson.... either that or stick with stock ROM without root. Yeah it'll set you back because you'll have to redo your phone apps/settings but on the bright side you won't have to do it again because ur bootloader is already unlocked.

You need your bootloader unlocked to obtain root. See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2788632 on instructions on how to do so if you're unfamiliar. After once its unlocked, fastboot flash a custom recovery and flash supersu.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] therightperson_630:
Trust me I'm familiar...had none of this trouble on the G1. Out of 5 android devices this is the second time I've had to unlock the bootloader...and the average user doesn't even know what a bootloader is, so not sure they'd be able to mess about with the radios.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Thats because the G1 had a locked bootloader and the only way to flash a custom recovery was to gain a exploit to push a custom recovery. For the OnePlus/Nexus/HTC, we don't need a exploit because we have the ability to unlock our bootloaders. Think of it as Apple's iOS, in order to gain jailbreak you need a exploit to jailbreak your phone which can take a long time for it to happen. Whereas, on Nexus/OnePlus/HTC, we can simply just obtain access to do changes to the phone without having to wait for a exploit.

You keep mentioning average user but a average user wouldn't be attempting to obtain root access for their phone. The average user would just be using his/her phone as a phone and not tinkering with the deeper innings of the Operating System and if the average user wants to tinker with the deeper innings then they should really do their research and learn. There are a lot of good guides on XDA.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Couldn't agree more. There is no need for any exploit with this phone because you've been handed the keys.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ondoy1943:
have you considered the exploit devised in the following thread?:

http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/development/mod-reset-unlock-tamper-bit-t2820912
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
That doesn't allow you to root while having a unlocked bootloader. It just changes the bits on whether or not your device has been tampered.

But then again,
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdh10475:
A little off topic but I unlock my boot loader and root as soon as I get the phone so I don't have to loose anything.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ondoy1943:
that's what you think, but in my case i was able to unlock the bootloader using the mod, hence rooting was a matter of course. the casual "fastboot oem unlock" command was not effective with my device. so.....;)

edit: then again, i unlocked the bootloader and rooted my phone while it was still at 30O firmware. i have no idea if the 33R firmware's bootloader is different from that of the 30O or not, that will render the mod ineffective.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] therightperson_630:
It's fine, problem solved, went through the gruelling task of trying to back everything up without root = 40gb of stuff..

Already tried the tamper bit mod...it was stated in the first post (tamper bit mod) and the command screenshot was one of the steps when trying to boot the recovery, it still wouldn't boot because the bootloader wasn't unlocked..so, useless in my case.

Still lost some stuff but I got most of it back. I didn't have this problem on my xperia SP when unlocking the bootloader..if I remember correctly you could root, get recovery and custom rom all without unlocking bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader didn't erase the internal sd either..sure it might have been through an exploit rather than the proper way, but tbh I think I'd rather have that.

I'm not liking this "you've been given the keys" analogy...It's more like you've already settled into your new house and you're given the keys to unlock the front door when you're already inside...it's hassle more than anything.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] citBabY:
Hello all, so today I downloaded 4.4.2 KitKat firmware from sammobile site, flashed it without backup or any **** (I've done it before on my tablet and worked like A CHARM) and "finally" got KitKat on my Grand 2 Duos. Then it all started happening after that:

I first started noticing some strange and weird bugs, like I can't lock the screen, notifications never get cleared, it felt like the phone got frozen.

It is known for sure that after I installed the firmware, the recovery mod that I had is gone and replaced with stock one, so I tried flashing a .tar file for rooting my phone (It was actually to use via recovery, not via flash... I lacked information back then), after flashing it, I could boot into recovery mode no more. Even after flashing the 4.4.2 firmware again, I even saw it installing a "recovery.img" file but with no good. When I try to boot into recovery mode it writes at the top "Could not do normal boot" and then "ODIN Mode" and the rest as I used to see before.

Then I started searching the web for solutions relating to the bugs I noticed earlier, found a thread instructing to remove battery, SIM card and microSD card, then re-installing them again except the microSD card... It actually fixed the stated bugs! But I still don't feel relaxed. I want to fix this (idk if this is called "bricked" or no!) issue about recovery mode, and get back to 4.3 as this scared me as f**k.

NOTE: I flashed CWM and TWRP .tar files that I already had, to no avail.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanjuujosephh:

[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] citBabY:
Well I already stated (if you read my whole thread) that it works normally, running 4.4.2 atm without microSD card inserted, it works like the past except for two points:

1- My root access is gone.

2- I can't reboot into recovery mode at all, no matter what I try.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanjuujosephh:
Wow u screwed up ur recovery itself ....wow u r awesome ! Just check if it goes to download mode if it does then flash it again with the latest firmware .... After flashing immediately try going to recovery and if u do ..... do the reset and wipe cache

Hakuna matata ! ;)
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] citBabY:
After I flash the firmware it automatically goes to a recovery screen, a progress bar gets filled then opens the Android system normally. After that when I try to go to recovery mode again it goes back to download mode again with the error text "Could not do normal boot".
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] citBabY:
Problem.... Fixed? .___.

Well for some reason on the third (and thought it's hopeless) attempt to flash the firmware again, I managed to open recovery mode after it, I was kissing the Reset Factory button.

As long as I find this weird, working on many attemps (maybe Samsung software itself fails?) I find this thread useless, thanks given to Sanjuujosephh! I inserted my microSD and it's working now, rebooted again into recovery and it's working as it should be.

[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShanghaiKid:
I'm a newbie but I fixed mine...

I've had this happen and it is frustrating to say the least. But I fixed it though. This is what I did: CAVEAT: Please read up all the FAQs, search the right firmware for your phone and the appropriate versions, KitKat vs Jelly Bean, etc. otherwise if your phone is bricked...don't blame me.

I have a 2nd-hand Galaxy Grand 2 and so warranty issues are a non-issue for me. All the files I've found were downloaded on this forum. I flashed ROM with my PC with Odin program installed.

I used Odin3 (v.3.07). (To install Odin program search the this forum). I also reflashed the recovery TWRP file "twrp_ms013g-build2.tar" Including the firmware G7102 Stock. My file was: G7102DDUBOB1_G7102ODDBOB1_G7102DDUBNK1_HOME.tar.md5. (Search for it.) Oh, you may want this file: CF-Auto-Root-ms013g-ms013gxx-smg7102.tar.md5 which may help with rooting your phone if you haven't already done so.

I did the Recovery 3-button Samsung phone groping procedure (you know what I'm talking about Volume Up/Down button + power + home button)... but to no avail...I keep getting that boot loop (Unable to normal boot...etc). You know that stupid "Downloading" Android logo (with the blue worded script on the top left-hand corner) with message ..."Downloading ...Do not unplug source..." Well, I plugged the USB cable to the phone to my computer and Odin program recognized it (it'll read "Added"). The phone didn't give any indications that it was doing anything. Btw, if your Odin program doesn't recognize your device then you should find out why it doesn't. If it recognized it before and you flashed with the Odin program before, I don't see why it won't recognize it now? Some say it's the USB cable but I can't logically accept that kind of superstitious BS. Come on, it's a copper/aluminum wire cable wrapped in pvc -- not a script. A cable is a cable is a cable. If it worked before, it'll work again unless it's cut inside the pvc tubing. You can use a digital multimeter to easily test that for continuity (albeit with really tiny leads to be able to connect to the mini USB side). Anyways, if your Odin program won't recognize your phone, maybe try using a lower version, or re-installing, or another similar type of program that will work. I'm assuming you did install the Samsung USB driver for your PC (e.g. mine is -v1.5.61.0 -search for your appropriate version) so that your computer will recognize your phone when cable is hooked up.

DON'T FORGET TO have the "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" boxes checked on the Odin program. Then select PAD button and browse for your TWRP file (above) and hit "Start." The Odin will flash it and you'll see a light blue bar under the Android logo (on your phone) that will go from left to right and when finished....whooooohooo the phone auto restarts back to your last OS state without losing any info on the phone. At least it worked for me. Hope that helps. Sorry for the long post.

Seems like u really guys screwed up the recovery. Somehow on my first try of flashing a zip file (recovery), i got stuck on download mode and wont boot normally. When I fixed the problem, the phone boots normally but the recovery is the only problem I got. I fixed this problem for about 10 days ago, all i did was to reflash the recovery again, orrr flash other version of the recovery (if the downloaded recovery version didnt work) or flash other recovery if the another recovery didnt work. Make sure the recovery is working on the version of you're phone (jelly, kk, lollipop, marshmallow or nougat) and working also on the model version.
