[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Voiding:
I have been stuck in a bootloop for a while now, and it has been affecting my life making me unable to use my phone when needed. The screen will show "Bootloader has been unlocked" and then will briefly go black and then start up the screen again. I can only access bootloader and fastboot, and I am trying to flash a recovery to get a rom on it. I have tried flashing stock image, but it never worked, no matter what tutorial I used. I feel as though I downloaded the wrong files, and if anyone could point me in the right direction (to set my phone back up, even if just to stock) that would be great.

Here is what I get when I do ./fastboot getvar all, if this tells you anything about my phone.

Hi,

For the last 2 weeks I notice a significant decrease in the count of new apps everyday I see on Galaxy apps.

For example, yesterday there were no new apps. Is it just me or does anyone else notice it ?

Thanks.
[Samsung Gear 2] renegade:
Yes, unfortentily, I'm noticing it also.
[Samsung Gear 2] lordmorphous:
I'm speculating that the reason for them popping up at a quicker pace was the deadline for Samsung's developer challenge approaching. Now that it is over, I expect this is going to be the more normal rate of new apps.
[Samsung Gear 2] jeromepearce:
What annoys me is that there seems to be no proper order to the apps in the list. This means I have to look at them all to see what has been added. Am I missing something obvious?
[Samsung Gear 2] McGuigew:
No, you're right and it annoys me too. Why no "new apps" tab?
[Samsung Gear 2] lordmorphous:
I go to the "Top" tab and choose "New" from the dropdown. I'm assuming this shows all the new apps, but maybe not.
[Samsung Gear 2] renegade:
Not always accurate.
[Samsung Gear 2] jeromepearce:
Thanks for that. I never looked at the 'Top' list as my own tastes and needs tend to be very different from everyone else (in most things).

I agree it is not accurate, though, as it only shows the rated apps (I assume), so really new ones are not on there. It saves some time however.

Hello,

When i have L7 this problem was normal to me. After restart recovery was normal and don't have extra features from Phil. Yes, if you have baseband V10 you must read on the tread from were you download the rom what baseband must use. I think is a v20 baseband but you must inform .If your phone is locked on the network you must unlock before you use custom rom.

Chears.

Hi,

I have a used qtek 9090 With the Italian version.

When i try to upgrade the rom to a english one, ou upgrade with a original italian version it always get stuck on the bootloader screen.

On the PDA i get a screen only saying usb 2.07.

On the PC it get's trying to retriev information.

If I cancel the operatio after a while I have to run a litle program to get out from bootloader.

So I need your help with this.

My guess is the pda it's locked or something is wrong with the bootloader.

Regards

I also have a Qtek 9090 and am stuck on the "serial v2.08" screen. I've searched all over the internet for the last hour and while this site is (by FAR) the best resource I still haven't been able to get past that screen. I've tried hard and soft resets by holding down the power key, voice record key, and pushing the stylus in the reset button on the bottom with no luck. I've tried just the power and reset buttons and even all four buttons (reset, power, record, camera) - which was a little hard to manage :) But now I can't figure anything out and could REALLY use some help as I'd hate to have an expensive paperweight after only owning this unit for four days.

Btw, I've gotten to this point while (rather stupidly, in hindsight) clicking on EnterBL.exe during an attempt to upgrade to WM6

[LG Optimus G Pro] hillmankt:
I have a brand-new LG Optimus G Pro [E980] phone. When I purchased one from ATT, I had gotten a great deal on the other one and decided to keep it in-case anything ever happened to my other one. Well, I ended up giving it to my sister.

I decided to get on someone else's T-Mobile plan, for the cheaper payments. So, as of now, I have a cheap piece-of-**** T-Mobile phone that works horribly and is cracked beyond belief in which I use to text and/or call. Except, I want to use my LG E980.

I tried contacting ATT and getting the unlock code, as well as going into the store and trying to retrieve it. They said it must be done online. When I tried entering in all my information, it says IMEI is not recognized. Which is complete bull****. I even tried the IMEI of the other LG E980 I had given to my sister.

So, with all of that said, I would still like to use my T-Mobile sims card with this phone. I looked at my phones software information, which has never been updated or ANYTHING - because it has never had an ATT sims card inside it to connect to any servers.

I am currently running:

Model number: LG-E980

Android version: 4.1.2

Kernal version: 3.4.0

Software version: E98010k

I had a few questions, and would be ecstatic to hear all of your answers! :D

1) What is rooting, and what does it do?

2) Why would I want to root my phone?

3) Would it be safer and easier just to purchase a ~$5 unlock code from some website? If so, which one is best and cheapest?

4) How do I "backup" my phone? Like does it save all my apps, pages, settings, everything - like a restore on a computer?

5) If I did decide to root, is there a tutorial for beginners?

6) Which root would be the best recommended one?

7) Will I still be able to use all the features and functions if I root it and/or unlock it with an unlock code? [Internet, texting, SD card, etc.]

8) If I unlock is with an unlock code, will it reset the phone? (like a factory reset)

9) If I root it, will it reset the phone as well? (like a factory reset)

Thank you for all of your help!

[LG Optimus G Pro] hillmankt:
I have seen posts saying others have not been able to use their SD cards?

Also, I can not back up my phone UNLESS it is rooted - so that does me no good?

Next, what root would you all suggest?

Will this allow me to use my T-Mobile sims card in my ATT phone?
[LG Optimus G Pro] channeledbymodem:
Rooting will not unlock your phone for use with T-Mobile. The main reasons for rooting are to enable install of a custom recovery for backup and install of custom roms plus certain specialized apps require root.

My best most straightforward advice. Unlock your phone first. I have no experience with unlock services but I'm sure there is feedback on them online via Google.

For the time being stay with the version of Jelly Bean stock that came with the phone. Updating to AT&T's stock Kit Kat brings some complications you don't want to deal with as a novice. Stock Jelly Bean works fine. I have tried several custom ROMs with this phone and all of them have had problems with voice and internet. YMMV.

After you have unlocked the phone download TowelRoot (Google it) and install it like a regular app (you must enable "unknown sources" in the security settings). Simplest way to root.

Download Freegee from Play Store and install TWRP recovery (you must still be on JB for this to work). If you are still on Jelly Bean you should have a choice as to whether or not to back up to an external card. If you have updated to Kit Kat you probably won't be able to use a custom recovery to back up to an external card. The advantage of a "nandroid" backup like the one made with TWRP is that it restores *everything* with one click: the system and all apps with their data. The disadvantage is that generally a nandroid restore is all or nothing and it takes time. To restore apps and data selectively use Titanium Backup (see below).

Now if you are really paranoid about back ups, relax. When you first sign on to your Google account check the option to back up and restore your data. If you didn't do it when you first signed in go into accounts and sync settings and check data. Google does a good job of backing up and restoring all the apps you downloaded from the Play Store but it does not restore settings the way a TWRP backup would.

Eventually you will probably want to buy Titanium Backup Pro if you are concerned about back ups. It does a very good job of backing up apps and data but it does not restore the system. You need root for TB.

All this said, if you really don't want to use AT&T your first priority should be unlocking the phone.

Go to freemyblackberry.com and select other models. LG codes are $2 Canadian. I used them for my wife's GPro. Worked great, quick service.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hawkwind212:
Just remeber, be sure to write down your unlocking code because each time you do a rom update or factory reset you loose your unlocking number. Many people get phone unlocking and the root mix up. Phone unlock, or the jail break, is to make your phone from accepting only one mobile provider's signal, to be able to pickup signal from any providers that support your phone. Root is basically giving you the super user privilege. Think of it like learning to ride a bicycle. When you first get your phone is like riding with the training wheels on, you're riding the bike, can't go fast but it's safer. Once you root the phone, now is like taking the training wheels off, you can go faster and do much more, but also expose you to much more danger. That's basicly what the root is, you're able to do much more to your phone but with many dangerous consequences, such as 'brick the phone'. If you never heard of that term use before, once you root, you probably will (or hope you never will). But root also allows you to remove all the apps that are just taking up space and slowing down your phone. I've being rooting my Android device since 2011, and rooting had gotten much easier. Now you don't even need to get into the bootloader (another one of those term you'll learn) to root. Like somebody already suggest, get an app call 'towelroot', install and run it, and you probably will get the root access on your phone. Once you get the root, the next thing is to get the recovery, so get an app call 'freegee'. Run it and you will get either cwm or twrp recovery, it doesn't really matter which, flip a coin if you can't decide. Now if you make it this far, you can start to think about what you want to do to your phone, get the custom rom? New themes? Possibilities are endless once your phone is rooted.

[Sprint LG G2] kryptonite:
How to Sprint LG-LS980 [Root , Sim Unlock and Custom Recovery] with ZVD Firmware

If you have the Stock ZVD firmware you may need to follow the below specific methods to Root, Sim Unlock and Setup Custom Recovery

Must have:

1. Stock ROM - ZVD

Root using this instructions in this thread

2. Sim Unlock using instructions in this thread

If you have issues , with files NOT getting copied as per instructions in 2. Then follow the manual copy method.

Once rooted , manually copy over the carrier folder using adb shell commands.

eg :

First copy the carrier folder to /sdcard

adb push carrier /sdcard

adb shell

su

cd carrier

cp -rfv ../sdcard/carrier/* .

The above is manual way of working around the copy issue. For some reason the root explorers dont seem to be providing the right error message due to copy permissions.

3. Custom Recovery : Via Autorec , most other methods will result in : "Secure Booting Error! Cause: boot certification verify"

And then the screen goes black. From here you cant do anything but holding down power and volume down to boot regularly without any problems.
[Sprint LG G2] sooperbad:
i am sorry I am a complete noob can you tell me step by step how to replace current carrier files for SIM lock? I really need to change my APN settings.

[Sprint LG G2] kryptonite:
Have you tried the step by step instructions here ? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2448887
[Sprint LG G2] sooperbad:
I used your ads shell commands to copy carrier files after debugging mode. Here's what I did!!

1) Placed carrier folder into the adb shell folder

2) Shift+right click to open command window here

3) Ran your above mentioned shell command at cmd as they are:

adb push carrier /sdcard

adb shell

su

cd carrier

cp -rfv ../sdcard/carrier/*

Manually copied the apn cml file and changed its permissions. Deleted corresponding files mentioned in the SIMLOCK thread and now MMS is working.

I think that was about right?

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] drago10029:
Morning, Evening, Afternoon All (depends where you are) I'm really excited about the Xperia Z3 Compact!!! :laugh:

So If you're interested in this phone I'm certain by now, you've seen the claim for 2 DAYS OF BATTERY LIFE which is why I'm sure the majority are here! Yes I'm excited about the Camera's Blazing high ISO count and superb IP rating w/ underwater feature but without good battery they won't mean much.

In this day and age were all skeptics about battery life claims until we experience it ourselves, and for good reason! Either way I'm just here to drop some info about that.

The Z3 Compact will also be featuring a Stamina Mode for 4 days and even an Ultra Mode for 7 days battery, Kinda amazing! Ultra Mode limits you to pretty much calling and texting according to SONY but that's probably good to save battery for long periods where you only need your phone for emergencies.

Below is from "Strategy Analytics" who ran z3 Compact battery test on behalf of SONY. Here is a link to the CLAIM TEST AND RESULTS.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE: GSMARENA has released battery life results for the Xperia Z3! Their test show (DRUM ROLL) 4 DAYS :victory::D:eek::eek::eek: & this is without stamina or ultra mode, I can't contain myself any longer! We haven't heard of numbers like this since the good old candy bar phone days. I loved playing snake on nokia phone! You can't be NOT be excited for the Z3C! Also click the link for the full phone review for the Xperia Z3 Compact.

2ND UPDATE: The phone has dropped in India! Most if not all of the US bands seem to be supported on the international version as well according to the White Paper :D

and we have an actual user review on reddit, only thing I found great here is he's the first I've seen to actual post LOW LIGHT shots. BEEN waitinga while for this!! Be excited people!​

Hello here.

I really like my iPhone 5, but after all rumors of iPhone 6 (most of them will be true), I decided back to Android. At first, new look (iP6) it's not for me. Second, battery is deal breaker here. It is not possible to stand long with this specs and low capacity battery. Screen and connectivity take all. I really hope to get smartphone with 1 full day battery life.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] E.N.:
The z3 compact looks alot like the z1 compact but with a 2600mah battery instead of 2300mah. My z1 compact easily outlasts my brother's iphone 5c that is less than a year old.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] javierdsv:
The comparision above is quite accurate. Yes, it is possible. The stamina mode work wonders already, and if you ever plan to install a more efficient ROM like Cyanogenmod, I am sure the battery claims will be all true. I own a Z1 Compact ' the battery is unbelievable, plus the Z3 Compact battery will be even better. The iPhone 6 specifications are all lame compared to this anyway.

Sure, you can't expect the battery to last at all if you are playing games or roaming on a place with bad signal all day long.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] drago10029:
That stamina mode sounds awesome honestly! The Z3C is supposed to do 2 days under moderate use which if true is absolutely amazing! Maybe we'll get back to the nokia/candy/flip phone days where phones actually lasted a week. One can only dream :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] matapo:
Agreed! Don't forget there's also the option for 'Ultra Stamina Mode' - basically reserved for old-school-Nokia features only (calls and smses), with the battery lasting around a week :)
