Try these attached files as I have zipped them on a normal compression.

I think ""GuinUK (1st post)"" hasn't mention his/her device, but the GPS he/she mentioned is a serial device.

I am pretty sure it is a Mini S he is trying to get to work with the cabled GPS receiver, it simply will not work - the device doesn't have a serial port to connect equipment like this to. The Mini S is Bluetooth only for GPS AFAIK - Mike
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] GuinUK:
Thanks for your reply. This is indeed the right GPS. Sorry for any confusion there. I am about to try what you have written. I have indeed got a cradle, and a converter which makes my Ps2 GPS fit into the socket.

I will get back to you with how I got on.

Thanks again for the help, at least I know for sure it isn't BT before I start.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] GuinUK:
OK I got the download working from Sidd, thanks. I ran through all the steps you had mentioned. The problem I had is that I don't get the option of 'serial cable blah blah', mine just says 'Serial port'.

My phone is a Mini S. Perhaps this is the reason why. My friend has a bluetooth model, and I got that working fine so I guess if this last attempt doesn't work I will just buy another GPS. It isn't like they are expensive in truth.

Thanks everyone for the help, and sorry for my delay in posting but it being Xmas and all.

If u r going for a bluetooth gps device then keep one thing in mind that u might find difficulty in searching of the proper bluetooth com port. Soltution is to download the TomTom version 5.2 prior to connect ur device.

GoodLuck & let me know

Fantastic post

Thanks Sidd, your word doc (Serial COM Port setting to setup TomTom.doc) worked a treat, two mins and I'm up and running. I'm using spv m1500 (same as xda 2) with a cheap unbranded cabled gps unit i got from fleabay and TomTom 5.2. Thanks again.:) :) :) :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mikealder:
Can I re-iterate for the benefit of others reading this post, the newer XDA device (equipped with a mini USB connection point) cannot be used with a wired GPS unit, this includes the Mini-S, Exec, Orbit etc. The older devices IIs, IIi etc all require the Receive all beams to be turned of to free up the serial port for use by the wired GPS.

If your device has a mini USB connector your only option is Bluetooth for GPS - Mike
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] sidd:
No problem Doc114 my pleasure, any way I am also going to upload something new on the FTP (check in: ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Software/) with another brief instruction manual, enjoy the new one, you know what I mean (My name would be included in the file name, so you can recognise it easily).

I will also make one illustrated instruction for a bluetooth GPS setting whenever got a device.

Can anyone point me to the lightest Rom? I tried ARHD and Viper one and some cyanogenmods. The cyanogenmods felt the lightest but they had been buggy and stuff didn't work.

So any recommendations? Besides ARHD and Viper? Viper seems like a mess to me and ARHD does a pretty good job but I always feel like they get slower the more hours they are turned on and the ram is filling up..

Really appreciate your help! Thanks in advance!

And if you want to point me to a aosp or cm Rom it needs to support everything but NFC...

Bluetooth, Wifi tether etc is needed!

Sorry guys, but I'm going to have to close this thread. We don't allow ROM comparison threads because they tend to bring out the fanboys and then the trolls. Plus, what works best for one doesn't necessarily work best for another. So, we always recommend that you read the descriptions of each thread and find a ROM that has the features you want.

[XDA Assist] :
Hi,

You will need to ask for help here, as there is no section for your device,

> Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

You may need to flash the stock firmware or a rom even to fix what has happened. Try flashing CM again... That should restore the system files and get you running again. ?

Good luck!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
Well you have hboot 1.44 so you should consider getting s-off with revone or rumrunner first.

after your s-off I would RUU to 2.xx for the better touch screen drivers and possible OTA

http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip-m7_ul_jb_50_s_htc_asia_hk_2-24-708-4-zip/

after doing all the updates you would Flash TWRP and SuperSU to have custom recovery / root

and then you can start flashing about any roms you like

It seems someone has messed with your phone

your MID is changed (Should Be MID : PN0714000)

and your Super CID : 11111111 and s-on .. this is not a good combination

is your bootloader unlocked ?

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zb0n3:
Looking to buy an open box Galaxy S 10.5 LTE off hands but have my doubts if it's grey import or local Australian stock.

How can I tell which is it?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
They are all imports, and same hardware (unlike the SGS3 and SGS2 "T" models). Just possibly flashed with firmware from another region.

You can check all your device details (including product number) easily with phone INFO app from Google Play.

If you wish to update your firmware to the latest or latest to your region, manually download it from samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com and then flash with Odin. Many guides for that.

Best of luck :)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zb0n3:
Thanks. Would it void the warranty?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
It really shouldn't, but flashing anything has a risk, no matter how miniscule.

Different laws governing different countries/regions and willingness of the service centre etc.

Hello everyone

im in a little big dilema here.

i was on cm11 and i wanted to go back to stock,

so i tried to flash Retail brasil and the process failed at around the second step,

i believe it said something about tz signed.

i left my device there, then after the phone shut down i could no longer turn it on.

i tried the vol- and power and i got nothing, also the vol+ vol- and power and also nothing.

i cannot make my phone respond.

also battery was at around 80% so it does have battery.

im afraid i might of bricked it trying to go back to stock. xD

kind of funny.

has this happened top anyone?

help would be appreciated a ton.

you are not bricked some partitions are not able to be downgraded such as tz just erase those lines from the xml file remove tz and gpt

funny if you think of it.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killrhythm09:
Some questions that may help people help you if you can answer them:

Did you use an fxz with RSD Lite when you were trying to go back to stock? If so, where did you get it? If not, what procedure did you use? Which version of Android was it? 4.1.2?

Although to be honest, if you can't even get to fastboot, your chances aren't good. I've been in similar situations before and I was able to fix it because I could at least get into fastboot and start from scratch. You are sure power + volume buttons together isn't working?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hugodefcon:
i was using rsd lite

i was on cm11 and wanted to go to stock retail brasil. which is 4.1.2

i cannot reach fastboot or anything.

i sent it to my carrier, i am not under warranty since i got this phone on launch but they said they will see it they can do anything but wont replace it,

if its a no go i will take it to a cell shop where i think they know a little bit more of this type of situation, bricking flashing and stuff

[G3 Accessories] Flea0:
I have a standard EU model on Vodafone. Several times now I have gone to the same pub with friends. Inside, I always drop to GSM connection while my friends' S3, iphone 4 and galaxy nexus consistently manage to hang onto HSDPA+. This happened during a trip in the mountains as well. It's becoming increasingly obvious that my G3 has a worse reception than most other phones.

Is this expected? how can I improve the situation?
[G3 Accessories] welshandy2322:
I agree with signal issues. I'm sat next to my partner both on Vodafone.she got a iphone 5s. She has 4bars of signal and im on zero.
[G3 Accessories] hbahaie:
+1
[G3 Accessories] GTCC:
The G3 has known problems on Vodafone(Vodafones fault)

I have had an M8, 1+1 and the G3 at the same time and the G3 is by far the best and on a par with my Nokia 1520 and the 1+1 was the worst. I have now sold both the M8 and 1+1 but they both lost signal quicker and were slower to get it back again and the G3 has slightly faster speed over 10 tests each. The WiFi was better on the M8 as it connected to my home WiFi before I got out of the car when I parked outside. They all work fine in the house so no difference.

My phone is a sim free 855 on EE and the WiFi is Sky. I haven't tested my other one yet but it seems to be the same.
[G3 Accessories] erkut:
It's happening to me. Also I had lost completely but fixed when reboot. I don't understand why. I heard put copper tape under the back cover for improve signal. I'll try and then let you know.

Vodafone Portugal I have issues too. Too much I think.
[G3 Accessories] RichardW1992:
You people do realise "bars" of signal are meaningless? A "bar" is not a measurement of signal (it happens to be a measurement of pressure but thats is besides the point.) Phone signal doesn't really have a unit of measurement so it is given ASU (Arbitrary Strength Unit) which is based off the power of the signal (dBm) Go into settings, about phone -> Network and you will see the quoted ASU and dBm.

Therefore the way signal is represented by bars on a phone is entirely down to how the manufacturer chooses it to be displayed. For example 1 bar could represent 1 ASU on an iPhone, therefore a full 5 bars would mean anywhere from 5 ASU upwards. Whereas on a G3 1 bar could represent 3 ASU, therefore giving a larger display range.

Now I have plucked these figures out of thin air but I think you can see from that example how 1 bar on the G3 and 3 bars on the iPhone would actually be the same signal strength.

Granted if you have NONE and your partner has some, then that is clearly an issue. But don't compare bars, compare ASU.
[G3 Accessories] 573W1E:
Just wanted to add my experiences that I've had with my G3 for the past 2 months.

My G3 continuously gets a weaker and more unreliable signal (Three UK) than I have had on any other smartphone I have (One M7, One X+). It's incredibly frustrating as it means I never get LTE indoors but more importantly, my phone will very frequently lose data and cellular connection if I put it in my pocket. What good is a phone if it drops signal while its in your pocket?
[G3 Accessories] GTCC:
Wow, you got 4g on Three network, I went to Three from giffgaff and I had faster speeds on giffgaff 3g than I did with 4g on Three. I'm not on EE and very rarely lose 4g

Are you using a sim adaptor buy any chance?
[G3 Accessories] 573W1E:
I moved to Three from giffgaff and my speeds over both 3G (HSPA+) and 4G LTE have been consistently faster than anything I had on giffgaff. The city where I'm at (Newport) was not on the list of planned 4G cities for 2014 from Three, but it just started rolling out near the start of this month. I'm wondering if it was a rushed rollout to cover the area for the NATO Summit that was in the area a few weeks ago. I've averaged 20mbps download over LTE and about 7/8 down on HSPA+ which are both better than the 3mbps average I had on giffgaff. I'm not using a SIM Adaptor either, the Micro SIM that was in my HTC One M7 fit right into the G3.

I just wish the G3 kept a stronger and more reliable signal, these signal drop outs in my pocket and less reliable elsewhere are defo not Three's (or another carrier's fault), I've never had this issue with any other smartphone I have had. Poor show LG....
[G3 Accessories] GTCC:
I would have to disagree with you about the reception on the G3 in my case at least. Both my G3's have better reception than my M8 or my Oneplus One. The G3 even keeps signal(albeit low) in my lift.

I'm in Solihull by the way and according to Three I should of had 4g inside but didn't even get it outside and only got good 4g when I went into Birmingham. Must also say that when I tried Three it was in my Nokia 1520
[G3 Accessories] kingoftf:
No problems here compared to my xiaomi mi2.

Same or even better reception.
[G3 Accessories] pottyvick:
I have the G3 on T-mobile (USA) and its the best reception phone i've had. Constantly gets LTE where all my previous phones struggled...

[General Questions and Answers] iLilDark:
i was happily swimming with my Xperia Z Ultra in the past month, until it decided to live on the edge by opening it charging port and letting all those horny water drops get into the phone.

long story short it stopped turning on; so i opened everything in the device, put it in the rice for 3 days, put it back together & BAM! it worked... well until the Sony logo it kept rebooting then DOUBLE BAM... it's dead.

tried to charge it but nothing, tried to connect it to my laptops but nothing, it's rooted tho.

Now I realllllly realllly want the files in that phone so bad; is there any hope to restore them? I'll buy another phone for those data if i have to!

any help would be appreciated.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
Alright so, I haven't the slightest clue what caused this problem. I just happened to have rebooted my phone into bootloader mode as a way to ensure something I did didn't get transmitted when I re-enabled my Wifi which I happened to have disabled before rebooting and then re-enabled afterwards.

Anyways after I press reboot from the HBOOT menu, when my phone booted up the motion gestures would not work and I had an AOSP lockscreen...(take note im running ViperROM 1.8.0 on 4.4.3 firmware) oddly enough this isn't even enabled in the Viper Tweaks or any other tweaking apps I have. Soo why do I all of a sudden have these? It's as if I'm on an AOSP ROM but with Sense and a non Sense kernel? Even though NOTHING has changed today?? I haven't even been on my phone hardly at all besides that...

Why and how would I fix it?

Edit: Ok the tap to wake and swipe to wake actually work but double tap to turn screen back off is blocked because of the way the AOSP lockscreen functions. Swipe to shut screen off still works too. I just can't figure out how to remove this lockscreen
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
I had this same issue yesterday. I went to bed sat shut phone off with sense lock screen. Woke up Sunday powered on phone to see a aosp lock screen. I was like huh...I had to go to the play store an download HTC lock screen app they recently put in play store. Downloaded that then rebooted an sense lock screen is back. Try that out
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
The thing is..I already have that for some odd reason? It's right here and I never had this before either, it just randomly appeared and wanted me to update it a few days back. Strangely enough it was right after I downgraded back from 2.4.0 Viper ROM to 1.8.0 with a Nandroid. Should I just restore the Nandroid again*? it's literally exactly the same as this, I was gonna do it last night but it was far too late and I was tired.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Try uninstalling that app via titabackup then go to play store an redownload it an reboot. If that don't work yeah I would definitely restore back up. But this solved my issue an it sounds like same as yours. Crazy tho huh?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
"To finish updating lock screen please reboot now!"

Ohhhhh!! aaaaand...??? Waiting........................................................still booting...................dotdot....dotdotdotdotdot............still there :(

Firing the ion cannonz and restoring system backups, revert in process! *bzzzt---syste--msss faiiilllllinnngggg*

Seriously though it didn't work, restoring backups now LOL
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Well that's bs lol. You should have seen me when I woke up an seen this I was like wtf. So I went a removed sense toolbox an it was still there. I was totally lost. I did just what I told you to do an it came back an stayed. You would think if it worked for me it work for you u know. Hope your backup is alright. I like the fact HTC is dropping apps in play store so the don't have to wait on carrier to push ota to update a few things. But they should male sure it works rt..if you read all the reviews in playsotre bout this app. Not good at all some stock an locked users r in a bootloop from this updating an their only choice was factory reset. Not good
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
Well I figured out the problem. When I restored it it was indeed solved or so I thought but I noticed the update was still available in the Play Store so I decided to back the original HTC LS in Titanium Backup and update to it. After having updated and rebooting I ended up with the AOSP lockscreen again, restoring the app in Titanium and rebooting again resulted in getting the original back.

Perhaps they intended this? Maybe it's their new lockscreen just with some faults, one being double tap to sleep doesn't work?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
I use greenify to put my device to sleep. Works great just slide up from bottom of phone line you were going to use google search as I don't have that installed so greenify puts phone to sleep I like it.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Tosslehoff:
I want to be able to claim the Samsung perks but it's not accepting my registration code. Apparently only the Wifi verion of this works, even though I purchased my note 8 in the USA no-term? Can this be skirted around or am I forced to rebuy a LTE-incapable note 8.0 for these perks.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm not pissed if it doesn't work, but it'd make my day ifthere was a workaround

EDIT: If it helps I've flashed my LTE note 8 (SGH-i467m)'s rom to the Wifi Note 8 (like SG-n5100 or something, I cant remember the exat model number), which disabled the LTE features in the process, so by all intents and purposes i am running a wifi Note 8.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gooberdude:
Galaxy perks is only on 5110 models WIFI only.

AT&T does not have them. Thus your registration is different as well mainly due to the device being an SGH designation not a GT model.

The only perks worth having IMO are the $25 Google play credit.

Though, only a hand full of apps deserve payment. Too many have ads or just to wonky.
