[LG Optimus 3D] auroszx:
Hello. I offered some help to a friend because she wanted to install CM10 on her LG O3D Max (P720h), and everything was going smoothly... Until I noticed the IMEI thing.

Of course I tried to follow the guide on the General section, but the phone is not getting recognized by ANY flash utilities. LG Support Tool, LG Flash Tool, Smart Flash, KDZ Updater, nothing at all. At least when in S/W Upgrade mode, when turned on normally it's detected perfectly. I did try reinstalling drivers (OMAP, Infineon and LG), and it's not exactly a lack of drivers (nothing weird showed on device manager). Yes, I switched the COM ports just in case to test the Flash Tool, no results.

Is there anything else I can do to recover the IMEI or at least flash that thing to stockish (in case they complain about software)? For the first time (after flashing many other phones), I'm trapped. No ideas on how to solve this.

Thanks in advanced.

It rarely happens. But when I'm in a big warehouse my phone get's 2G , while a t mobile note 3 sticks on LTE one bar. Sometimes my phones will get no signal while the note 3 is holding one bar on edge ?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] phil.culler:
Likely due to the aluminum construction of the phone. I get slightly lower signal than I did on my Note 3.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] spinninbsod:
Weird I get much better signal with my m8 than what I ever did with my n5 but the n5 has a pretty crappy baseband

This makes me excited........
[X 2014 General] AndreaCristiano:
Pure edition!!
[X 2014 General] floepie:
Aren't they one and the same? Just void of carrier specific apps and with the ability to be unlocked, as far as I know.
[X 2014 General] AndreaCristiano:
Probably we won't know anything for sure till it launches
[X 2014 General] YankInDaSouth:
Developer Edition still has carrier bloat (at least the 1st Gen Verizon edition did)
[X 2014 General] bryancotton84:
I'm wondering, is the pure edition going to be available for Verizon? I know the Moto vp said no developer edition for Verizon, was he just playing us knowing the name is different?
[X 2014 General] ZeroAlphawolf:
So how does the carrier specific ones compare? Can we use the unlock bootloader method that's already up to unlock them and achieve much the same, like HTC did before by allowing the unlocks? I'm buying on contract rather then Pure, simply cause of cost and knowing how to strip things down on my own anyway. But i know that the 1st gen Moto x was kind of a pain in the ass to get unlocked and customized experience going on it.
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
Pure Edition is no bloatware, no carrier restrictions, unlockable bootloader. It's basically a Nexus
[X 2014 General] geekabilly:
I'm guessing pure edition = developer edition since PE bootloader is unlockable - what more could a DE have or need?

So, likely no PE for VZW.

tapped out via XT1053 DE
[X 2014 General] gflare:
As someone stated earlier, Dev edition can still have carrier bloatware and the carrier's logo on it. So Pure Edition does not equal Dev Edition. The unlockable bootloader is the only common added bonus that I'm aware of.

Pure edition is likely to get updates OTA directly from google, while Dev editions would still rely on it to come from the carrier (unless, of course, you do it yourself).
[X 2014 General] eksasol:
If you have been following the news you will know there will be no developer edition for Verizon this time.

The regular unlocked developer edition would just be like last year, stock software and not tied to carriers, so no carrier bloat.

No, on Verizon there will just be the bootloader locked carrier bloat version. If you have been following Verizon long enough you know how they operate.
[X 2014 General] YankInDaSouth:
Well aware of that ... I was simply answering someone else's question.
[X 2014 General] Mayze23:
I have a 2013 Dev edition moto X and it came with carrier bloat installed.
[X 2014 General] eksasol:
If you mean the Verizon version yes, but not the unlocked version. Verizon is not getting the developer version this time.
[X 2014 General] floepie:
I don't think this is really the question. The pure edition appears to be the name for a bloatware-free dev edition this time around for the X, hence, no need for a separate dev edition. I'm only speculating though.

And OTA updates for the pure editions surely would be sent by Motorola and not Google.
[X 2014 General] AndreaCristiano:
Even if that's the case the OG moto X got the updates in .06 of a month while the nexus got the update in .05 so in reality almost no difference
[X 2014 General] LexusBrian400:
If you have been following the news, Sundar said it's "possible" for VZ. But it's "complicated". Possible does not equal NO.
[X 2014 General] eksasol:
I have seen that thread, but it doesn't changes my mind about not signing a contract with Verizon or At&T.
[X 2014 General] Note10.1Dude:
As I read the tea leaves, there is no developer edition this time. Pure edition may be bootloader unlocked. Pure looks like a very nice experience.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
I have some experience flashing ROMS, rooting, and so forth. All the ROMS I have flashed thus far have all been condensed into one zip that I download and flash via safestrap. I am wanting to try out some different ROMS and was wondering if there is a general rule of thumb when the download link leads me to a page of nightlys? I have noticed that most ROMS are around 2 gigs and the file sizes for some of these files are very small. Should I download/flash all of the zips? The newest zip? etc... any help and advice would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Well first get a link to the download page you're looking at and I'll tell you what you're options are. Thing is, I've never seen a nightly built ROM that wasn't aosp, but if the builds you're looking at are really 2+ gbs then it definitely isn't aosp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
This is the thread to the ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2630094

And the thread to the download link http://www.drdevs.com/devs/teamliquid/Nightly/S4_Unified/

It is an AOSP ROM and not compatible with my S4 and I am not wanting to flash on my phone, just looking to understand the AOSP flashing process a bit more as I am looking into other devices. i suppose I could have put all this in my original post and will try to suck less next time. lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Okay yeah so those are all ~200mb, which is typical for aosp, a gb is a 1,000mb. The other files are just MD5 sums (used to check if your file downloaded correctly) and the text files are changelogs.

Generally when figuring out what to download, it depends on what you want and researching the associated thread. If you're looking to experiment or want to try a brand new feature, download the latest and see how it works. If you want something a little more stable, read the thread and see what nightly is working best for anybody. If you're looking for a daily driver, stick to a weekly or "milestone" build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
So, each of those zips that is around 200 megs is a "different version" of the same ROM, so to speak? And when something is changed, it becomes a new "nightly"? Generally speaking, there would only be small differences between the nightlys and that will be evidenced in the changelogs?

For example, Hyperdrive, when it gets released is a "milestone build", the proven AOSP ROMS such as an older version of CM, for example, would also be an example of a milestone build. The nightlys that are available under CM are little tweaks and changes that have been made to the newest version of CM? Is this about right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Yes, each zip is an update from the last zip. The updates will be spelled out in the changelogs. And yes you're right, I'll just clarify a bit.

Hyperdrive, as well as every other ROM based on an OEM-skin (such as Touchwiz or HTC Sense), does not follow the release cycles of AOSP ROM's. AOSP ROM's are generally created by a big team of developers, then people called "maintainers" adapt the ROM to their specific device (EX: invisiblek is the official maintainer of CM for our phone). They release their ROM on a nightly basis because they have a lot of people working on it and a lot of issues to solve supporting so many devices. For example, when CM wants to add a new feature, they know that it needs to work on over a thousand different android phones, so they put it out in the nightlies to test it. Once it's truly stable on all devices, it's added to the milestone build.

Now these TW-based ROM's are different. It's typically one developer supporting one or a few devices. There's no typical release schedule, but most developers seem to update either monthly, based on firmware updates, or based on Android version updates. With only a few devices to support, these ROM's don't usually have too many issues that would need to be solved through a nightly nor do they usually have enough developers to support a nightly program.

For other phones I've had, when I rooted, everything on the SD card remained intact. For the N5, that's not the case. Lesson learned, no need to yell please.

Hello everyone!

Lately I installed Molski's ROM (3.0.0.0) and it worked 2 days without any problems. I had to recharge the battery. I used usb to charge Wizard as I sometimes do without any problems. Wizard was On up to 30% battery, After that I switch it off to recharge it through the whole night. Led indicator was orange. In the morning there was no greed led indicator. Computer was still working correctly. I was trying to switch the Wizard on but I can't!! It can't be switch on?? Why?

I have tried several different methods to switch it on. I also checked the usb cable and it is working..

Do you have any suggestions what happened? What is wrong with Wizard??

Daniel
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vippie:
I think you have an empty battery now. I don't know how it happened, but you can't charge an empty battery through USB. Try using the wall-charger. When it doesn't turn on immediately try again in a few hours (keep the charger attached).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] alexjlee:
me too! using the molski rom..

My wizard is now dead. cannot flash/recharge or boot.

I tried the usb lead 'jumpstart' trick and leaving it plugged in overnight.

the battery seems fine (with a voltmeter)

any ideas?

No RGB screen?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] alexjlee:
yup, nothing. nada.

my current theory is that the battery completely discharged, now it won't turn on and charge. I tried the 'usb' hotwire trick, and saw a glint of hope(screen came on for a brief moment), but it still won't power on. I've ordered a battery and desktop charger and i'll see if that works.

is it possible that the molski rom somehow disabled the auto-off at low battery feature. That would explain things. the wizard is supposed to refuse to turn on before it hits 0%.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hamza_jamil:
recharge the battery on other wizard

let your wizard in Bootloader mode:

[Camera] + [Soft reset]

plug usb then start the original update

it work in sha'a allah
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] alexjlee:
declared dead. tried a new fully charged battery, plus the old battery charged in a desktop charger. doesn't boot or enter bootloader and cannot be hardreset.

the only glimmer of life is that the backlight and power light flicker when the battery is _removed_, but only if you press the power button before removal.

dead wizard

About 3 weeks ago my wizard did exactly the same, tried new batteries, different chargers etc. Nothing. Best I got was as described above was the occaisional flash of the screen.

Fortunately for me the wizard was about 14 months old and I thought was out of warranty. T-mobile (UK) were helpful enough but wouldn't take the phone but gave me the contact for HTC Europe as the phone has a 2 year warranty (in the UK). Took a little effort to get through to them but they repaired phone (replaced mainboard) and returned. Yippee for me! All I can suggest is that you see if HTC have a local office to you and speak to them.

Note - I didn't have any homecooked ROM! Just the usual updates.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dukeV:
Mine died (slipped into a coma?) on Friday, couldn't force it to startup using any of the standard methods - took it into the O2 shop, and they took it in the back, and made it restart. I think they tried a bunch of different chargers, but they weren't at all surprised to deal with it, and i got the impression it's not an unusual task.

Those of you planning on importing the Z3 Compact for use on AT&T in the US, keep in mind that it uses Nano SIM, rather than Micro SIM like most other Android phones. So you'll have to go to an AT&T store and get a new SIM...hopefully not a big deal, but we'll see.

If only they could release a back only cover with qi charging. Not a fan of the book style cases
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Bäcker:
QI charging with such a big battery will end in 6+ hours from 0-100% as the QI Charging current is restricted.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] paperWastage:
the whole point is to avoid messing with the flaps too much (when you have to plug/unplug microUSB cable) to avoid unnecessary wear & tear...

it takes maybe 2-3 hours to charge my nexus 5(2300mAh) on Qi, probably 3-4 for the z3 (3100mAh)
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Bäcker:
Yeah, I now. But our Z3 offers a magnetic charging port - which also allows full charging current and this adds no bulk :)

Also you can charge everywhere and only have to carry a small cable instead of a bulkier QI charger. Or you chan use a dock, whatever you prefer.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] jonshipman:
Well, the point of Qi is that it's universal. E.g. a Nexus charger will work with a Lumia, will work with a GS4. Z2 and Z3 can't even use the same dock.

I get why Sony used the magnetic charger, the thinnest qi coils are still around 1mm. When the phone is 7.3mm thick, it adds up. But personally, I wouldn't mind a thicker phone, but I understand their reasoning.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Bäcker:
I absolutely agree. If QI was readily available for most battery operated devices that would be very convenient. As it is now it does not matter if you buy a magnetic charger or QI, because you have to buy each for your phone.

The Z2 dock works for the Z3 - no problem there.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Bora777:
I'm torn between this and the Style Up cover with the window. I don't see why they couldn't add the smart cover functionality to the Qi case. I upgraded from a Nokia Lumia and I have a couple of wireless chargers at home that I was hoping to continue using.

Then again, this Qi case costs more than the Style Up cover and the dock combined!
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] jonmorris:
The style up cover has been delayed until November 4th according to an email I got from Amazon today.

I did look at the Qi charger for the Z2 but it was/is quite ugly and bulky. So it's mag charger for me. One dock and two plain magnetic connector cables.

I have two Qi charging plates and they're already quite busy charging a N7, G3 and 1520. And they do all take a long time to charge, and the N7 charges to full and then just starts to drain without ever topping up again. So leave it for a few days and it will have charged and then drained. No such problems with the magnetic connector.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Pilz:
My G3 takes 2.5 hours from 2%-100% with a 3000mah battery. Qi charging is fairly fast if you use a 1A output qi charger
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] FelipeRRM:
USA's Verizon exclusive Z3v has QI built-in, that's actually prety useful if you ask me. I use the magnetic charging on my Z1 but QI would probably be more convenient. Too bad Brazil's model doesn't seem to come with this feature. I just don't get it, why put in on Verizon's model but not on global's. Maybe I'll just stick with my Z1 for longer and get the Z4 when it comes out (hopefully with QI built-in and optical image stabilization)
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Richie5767:
I don't quite understand that as well. Why does only the Verizon one have it? Maybe they are saving it for the Z4 or they just don't want to implement it into the Z3 that is already in production. I heard that the Z3v is a bit thicker than the regular Z3 because of the Qi Charging.. Besides that, I guess you can get the Charging dock fr the z3 instead. Either way, you won't have to remove the flaps so I guess it works. If the Verizon Z3 had international bands, I'd purchase that one instead (unless the carrier is branded all over the phone).
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] buda81:
Verizon will most likely brand the hell out of it. Verizon is also CDMA, not GSM. won't work outside of the states.
