Flash the stock firmware via Odin. You can find it in a thread in the general section.

I've had received the ota update and I'm not sure to update or not because I've unlocked my bootloader before and rooted of course but I've had just recently unrooted my phone and it has stock recovery but I want to know if its safe to update it

[Droid RAZR M General] xKroniK13x:
Well you can't relock your bootloader, so after the update you can just flash the SuperSU zip to root. If you're worried about the success of it, just flash the FXZ using your favorite method.

So i can just do the ota update or no

[Droid RAZR M General] xKroniK13x:
If you want to. To my knowledge the only fixes are blocking the exploits for TowelRoot and Motopocalypse, which are irrelevant since you're unlocked anyway. Worst case scenario is that OTA fails and you have to restore back to your current firmware

Best of luck. If its of any concern, you will never be stuck on the update. Since you're unlocked, you can always revert back to the previous firmware.

[General Questions and Answers] Fahad khan lodhi:
My HTC one m8 has root access. I was using twrp recovery and stock rom. I wanted to flash a custom rom (tried cyanogen and pan) but twrp never helped me in finding my zip file. Then I tried swapping my recovery from twrp to cwm but that never happened and it got stuck in bootloader mode and then I did factory reset :/. And now everytime I try going into recovery it takes me to the bootloader mode. now I am trying flashing a custom recovery but first turning s_off and I tried firewater but it doesn't work.

What should I do?

It still has root access but s_on and don't know about bootloader on/off and no recovery.

I have been out of touch with rooting and flashing ROM's for a few years now.

I have rooted my tablet.

I want to flash a ROM but have no idea which one I should use.

I would like a suggestion from someone on a ROM. I do want a stable ROM.

Also just to refresh my memory.

I download the ROM to SD Card, then go into recovery and flash ROM from there. I am using TWRP recovery.

Thanks in advance and forgive if I am not using the proper terminology, it's been awhile!

Hi wildrat

As you are probably aware we don't allow comparison threads. They can cause bad feeling, plus users can get different results from the same rom depending on individual setups.

If you search you'll find plenty of help on how to flash. Half the fun is to try different builds and see what works for you.

Thread closed but good luck and enjoy
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] madgrip:
I put my phone (T-Mobile MDA VARIO) on charge last night before I went to bed, nothing strange about that, but this morning the phone was completely dead ,wouldnt charge, no lights, wouldnt boot etc.

After searching this forum I found what I thought was the fix for a dead battery (3 AA batteries/wires etc) I did this and the phone now boots and says its chargeing, but only if I charge using USB, it wont do anything if I use the wall mains charger

If I take off the wires/AA bateries, the phone shuts down and wont charge, but as soon as I put the wires/batteries back on it works as normal.

While the phone is running I looked at the power application & it shows the battery chargeing, but wont hold any charge at all

obviously I cant walk around with 3AA batteries & 2 wires attatched to my phone.

does anyone have any suggestions please

cheers

[ONE Accessories] ptolomeo:
Hello. I just ordered a OnePlus one, and now I'm looking for the accessories.

I actually have a Note 2 with a tempered glass screen protector. The other day I've met a friend that works on the construction and he died me his Note 2 that he had been using since 6 months ago, and the screen was perfect, without a mark. He sweared that had the phone dropped several times and the screen was, as I said, perfect.

It made me think that maybe the OPO with a Corning Gorilla Glass 3, maybe it doesn't make much sense to use one of these screen protector.

What to you guys think?
[ONE Accessories] zephiK:
Not necessary but if you want the extra protection go for it.

I personally don't use screen protectors but its ultimately up to you.
[ONE Accessories] Azlum:
I don't usually run screen protectors but I'm glad I got one for my OPO.

After a few days of owning it I noticed some super light scratches on the bottom of the screen. This was during the brand new period of owning it and the screen had not touched anything except empty pants pocket, my fingers, and t-shirt for cleaning.

Thankfully my ozrly tempered glass protector showed up the next day, and I've been running that since. Pretty happy with it.

Tl;dr: I'd run a lot of phones naked, but not this one.
[ONE Accessories] ptolomeo:
Precisely, as this is a cheap phone, and also has gorilla glass,I don't see the necessity as in a Note 3 or an iPhone...
[ONE Accessories] Kawaisa:
as cheap as it is at $360, a $6 protector won't hurt your wallet
[ONE Accessories] Dusty Rhodes:
The phone is inexpensive but difficult to repair or replace. I see someone doesn't know the difference between the cost of something and how valuable something is.

I always keep my phone in a dedicated empty pocket but it always gets the random light scratch over its lifetime. A good $15-$25 glass screen keeps it looking new. That way when you pull out your device you don't look like some kind of a hobo.
[ONE Accessories] zephiK:
The Ringke Fusion comes with a screen protector free of charge when you buy the case by the way.
[ONE Accessories] badjoras:
All you need to scratch your screen is a grain of sand.

Are glass protectors mandatory? of corse not, otherwise they would come in the package with the phone. That said, i firmly beleave they are a "must have" for any phone, as you will regret not having one as soon as you get a scratch on it. for my xperia z2 it lasted 1 week 'till i regreted not having one, when for the first time I went "YOLO" on a phone.

You don't need a 30 dollar glass protector, I've had all kinds of brands and prices and all i have to say is that they are all the same, the only thing I insist on is rounded edges, so you don't feel it as much.

I'm on my second OPO, since I sold my first one after it fell face down, slightly tilted up, since it damaged the chrome ring on the top. When it fell, along with the dent, the glass screen protector was shattered on the top left. If you did not realize this so far, the only reason my "amazing gorilla glass" did not shatter aswell is that the protector took the hit for it (shattering to spread the energy). Gorilla glass is made to take scratches, not falls.

Finally, it is up to you. Do i think you do not need a normal plastic screen protector? well, you don't. Do you need a GLASS screen protector? after my experience my opinion can only be yes. I am currently waiting for a new one and have a crappy regular protector on.

Ultimate shield has proven to be a very good, not very expensive, and reliable seller for every phone I got it for (htc one m7, note 3, xperia z2, OPO)
[ONE Accessories] papped:
Not absolutely necessary, but you really can scratch the phone screen.

Plastic screen protectors scratch really easy because they are plastic. So even if it protects the screen they end up looking like crap. That's where tempered glass protectors shine, it protects the screen and still looks really nice (albeit at a higher cost).
[ONE Accessories] vnphantom:
Tempered glass screen protector is never necessary until...well, until you drop the phone once on a wrong surface...

Take your risk.
[ONE Accessories] SenK9:
I never really believed in tempered glass, until I saw more videos on these types of ion-reinforced glass. They are definitely not indestructible. As somebody above stated, all it takes is a grain of sand for there to be a micro-scratch on the screen. It's from these nearly-invisible weaknesses that the screen will crack when exposed to force when dropped. I believe the reason is that Gorilla Glass 3 is around 6-7 on the Moh's hardness scale, which is harder than metal, which is why keys and knives don't scratch it, but not as hard as sand or rocks.

So in other words, some type of protector will prevent these micro-scratches. The question is then, plastic or tempered glass? I've always used plastic on the last dozen or so phones and tablets I've had, but even the best plastic one (Belkin) still definitely felt plastic in their friction, it wasn't as smooth as glass, and a year later, there are small scratches in it.

Yes, it's true that the OPO is cheap enough that if you smash it, it's not a huge deal, and yes, there was a screen replacement kit I saw in another thread that was $110 or something, BUT it's the time and hassle. For me, slapping on a $15 glass protector (which I found easier to apply than previous plastic protectors), is worth it.

With the OPO, I decided to try a Nilkin tempered glass protector, and it feels as smooth as the original glass, which is great if you're a power user that does alot of quick inputs. It also seems to be very resistant to scratches so far, but I don't believe it's the 9H that they stated in the ad. The downside is that it's definitely noticeably thick, you can see it from the side, and you can feel the edges next to the cutouts.

PS. I'm no expert, so take it as you will.

Hey guys. I run a small business locally and have been using GV exclusively for that for the past 4 years. Recently I have been having issues and realized that they are going to be pulling it offline at some point in the near future. So I want to figure out what I am going to do. Here are the features that I MUST have:

- Calling using carrier's minutes (not VOIP) but to where it will still show up on the receiver's end your business number (GV does this by call forwarding I think, when you call out using GV it calles google and they re-route your phone call to the number you were trying to reach)

- Texting ability (mms would be nice but not a necessity)

- Custom voicemail

I just downloaded Text Free by Pinger from the play store and it seems to work ok, but I think it uses VOIP (not sure?)

I don't mind paying for one if I need to. Do you guys have any recommendations?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frankenscript:
Hi folks,

I'm trying to figure out how to make Play Store require a password for all installations, even completely free ones. I've set mine to "Require Password for All Purchases" but it still allows installations of free apps. It equates "purchase" to money. What I want is to prevent my kids from downloading free stuff without my approval.

It amazes me that I've Googled around without finding some simple answer. I can't imagine my use case is very unusual. Preferably I'd also like to have the system email me when an app is installed (not just paid app "purchases") as an extra layer of monitoring.

Alternatively, is there some way to disable play store from being opened at all without a password?

Thanks! FWIW my kids' devices are on Jellybean... one is 4.2.2. and the other is 4.3.
