[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBustCh3rries:
So I recent cracked my Nexus 5 and went to Sprint and T-Mobile to get a new one. (Looking to buy it out right to avoid waiting for a new one.) I was told at 2 sprint stores and 1 T-Mobile store that Google has stopped production on the phones and they are out of stock before finding what I was looking for at the last T-Mobile store. The last guy also told me they won't be getting anymore stock. So I'm imagining that the N6 is coming and coming real soon if they've stopped production in the N5. I know it usually comes around Oct-Nov but hopefully we get it sooner before later.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayRokk:
You really believe what people at T-Mobile/Sprint said?

Production of the Nexus 5 hasn't stopped and can still be purchased thru google.

You should of slapped them in the face for saying such idiotic things lol

Ah. One of those "secrets" a person tells under the guise of keeping it secret.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbedward:
They have support reps for their hardware.

As far as the rep being "hush hush" about the N6 It's probably because the rep didn't say anything about it. Honestly, those guys don't know anything other than what the public knows about upcoming devices.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbedward:
There's really no secrets lol. I think the N6 is that posters belief as to the reason why it is not being produced anymore. There's really no secrets about the new nexus, it comes every year at about the same time. Everyone starts speculating in february but every year it gets released at the same time :P

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBustCh3rries:
Like someone else said Google does have rep for their hardware which is who you call when you need support for your device you purchased from the play store.

I would think that a T-Mobile rep would have a good idea of their inventory. Just because Google has some for sell doesn't necessarily mean they are still making them, you see there is this thing called back stock. I'm not saying that the T-Mobile/Sprint reps are right but to hear it from 4 different reps at 4 different stores from 2 different carriers leads me to think maybe, just maybe.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeypaws:
The Tmobile stores around me (4 of them) still have the phone on display and in stock and on their site. Maybe you had someone who is misinformed or maybe they didn't get stock and it wasn't communicated properly.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBustCh3rries:
There is a Redditch thread confirming what I was told and there are now rumors of Google announcing the Nexus 6(?) In about 2 1/2 weeks. Maybe I was and I'm not saying that I wasn't but I managed to find a Nexus at a store which says back stock to me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangdaning:
It could also simply mean they are not replacing stock in certain countries. You would have to be in contact with LG contracted factories in China to know if they are still making them or not, I doubt T-Mobile, Sprint, or Google reps have these contacts.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBustCh3rries:
You know what! You're absolutely right. Why would they want to keep the people selling and supporting their device if they are going to be selling their product anymore... That wouldn't make any sense.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangdaning:
They probably want to push certain markets to get their new products, but that is not going to work for all markets. Picking up a brand new N5 in China or Hongkong is very easy right now. They are all over the place. I would imagine places with issues would be North America, Western Europe, and Aus/NZ. If you put two and two together, they want rich countries to purchase their new device but at the same time understand most of the worlds markets will not go for the new device because of funds.

They can make more money by pushing the N6 on the US, than by continuing to stock the N5. The opposite is true in other places. Ending the N5 will mean they lose money.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBustCh3rries:
Carries in the states make almost no money on phone sales. They get their money from subscribers. They could care less what phone you are using.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Note10.1Dude:
I think that there is a very good chance neither Sprint or T-mobile are still offering the Nexus 5 (aside from in-store stock still available), but Google Play has all models and sizes in-stock at the moment. I don't think the phone has been killed just yet. I certainly hope the Nexus X is only a few weeks off, but I don't believe it yet.

How can I install a custom ROM without an unlocked bootloader?

My phone says its bootloader cannot be unlocked
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ady1266:
Mine too , it's must to be a solution to unlock the bootloader...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
No, there is no solution

If it says it cannot be unlocked then it cannot be unlocked

Look in the development section for stock based custom roms that can be installed with a locked bootloader
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roobns:
To my experience it needs to be sim unlocked first in order to be bootloader unlocked. In a Xperia Z it said it couldn't unlock bootloader, i purchased unlock code, got it unlocked and then reflashed stock image. After that the status on "bootloader unlock allowed" was changed to yes.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Please provide proof of that, because this has never happened before and would be fantastic news

Also, some sim locked phones can have bootloaders unlocked and some sim free phones have bootloaders that cannot be unlocked. SO your logic is wrong.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roobns:
Can't provide proof as 1) the bootloader was already unlocked 2) I don't even have the phone anymore.

I don't know if you find my logic right or wrong it was what happened to MY experience with one phone.

I'm pretty sure devs can give you a technical explanation about why it can or can't happen.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
OK thanks.

I know what the devs will say. They will say it cant happen. This has been talked about ad infinitum across various xperia devices.

Also, if your boot was already unlocked then how did you know the status changed?

Thanks anyway.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roobns:
When i got the phone (telcel mexico) it said the bootloader was not allowed to be unlocked.

I purchased an unlock code. Entered the code, unlocked the phone.

I flashed an upgraded FW via FTF

typed *#*#SERVICE#*#* and boom bootloader unlock statys changed to yes

That's how i know the status changed. So basically that's my story. I thought it could work with every device.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
There is nothing in that thread that confirms this. Plus the test point method to unofficially unlock the bootloader was stopped by Sony nearly 2 years ago.

But please, delve into this again if you want. But trust me it is a dead end and does not work. If it was easy as sim unlocking and flashing a ftf do you not think that would have been done by now.

Some seriously good devs have been working on this ever since the test point method was closed.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] monkeyman27:
I have two Photon Q's

One is a refurb from bestbuy (this is the third one ive gone through) and the other I bought new off ebay

SD card works rgeat in my computer - works great in my ebay phone - but refuses to mount in the best buy refurb ( I even sent another refurb back already for this same issue). Always says SD card is damaged

Ive tried checkdisk, reformatting in both computer and phone to fat32, nothing seems to work. The best Ive gotten is it will play the first 2 seconds of a song off the SD card when freshly formatted (seems to OCCASIONALLY recognize a newly formatted card) and then it hangs

Should I sent this phone back or is there a compatibility issue with the card? Im using a samsung 32GB class 10
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somdoron:
I want to install a different stock rom and to receive OTA. The stock CID is different then mine (TMobile phone, CID T-MOB010) and I want to install HTC_K18 (MID is different as well). Another way to say it is that I want to convert a US phone to international.

I think I know what I should do, but I want to make sure before, I searched the forum all over and didn't find a guide, so please let me know if my solution is correct or am I going to brick my phone. The phone is new and I didn't flash anything yet.

1.	S – off my device

2.	Restart in fastboot mode (power + volume down)

3.	Change my cid

fastboot oem writecid HTC__K18

4.	Change my mid:

adb shell
su
echo -ne '\x30\x00\x50\x00\x36\x00\x42\x00\x31\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=16384
exit
fastboot reboot

5.	Install philz touch

6.	Download htc__k18 nandroid backup from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

7.	Copy the file to Clockworkmod\Backups\

8.	Flash boot.img

9.	Full wipe

10.	Restore backup

11.	Flash recovery.img

12.	S-on

Now I should be able to receive OTA as well, right?

The only thing I'm a little afraid about is that my current version is different than the HTC__K18 backup I'm downloading, current is: 2.22.531.5 and backup is 1.54.401.5. However because of I'm s-off I'm not sure it is a problem.

Thanks.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Why go back to S-ON :confused: I'd rather not do that at all unless it's absolutely necessary for warranty purposes.

Regardless though you have the steps correct. I don't think flashing the boot.img is necessary though.

After point 11 you can just restart the phone and do the OTA updates, which is why going a version lower (1.54.401.10/5) will be better to make sure the OTA updates work properly.

Why HTC__K18 though, might as well just go with HTC__001 either way though

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pryonic:
I'm looking to do a similar thing to return a UK EE branded device back to stock. This will be my first foray into the world of flashing, ROMs and other such fun so it's good to see this complete list of steps.

However, my first question is around S-OFF. Is the best way to do this currently Sunshine - i'm not against paying the $25 if I know it'll work?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
You could try Firewater first but I doubt it'll work, HTC patched the exploit that the developers used in Firewater to grant S-OFF, still worth a shot if you want.

Other than that Sunshine S-OFF is the only alternative and it will work, it won't ask you for any money if it won't work i.e It first tests your device and if you reach the screen asking for payment then your phone succeeded and it will get S-OFF. If your phone can't be granted S-OFF then you'll never have to pay so you won't lose out on any money.

If you go with Sunshine S-OFF you also don't have to unlock your bootloader through htcdev thereby having HTC KNOW that you unlocked it. Sunshine grants both S-OFF and unlocks your bootloader for you.

[Sony Xperia M2] xLobito:
Hi! New here...

Well, I know this is "common", but, I have a dilemma about what device choice: Moto G - LTE version or Xperia M2 (not dual or aqua, just M2).

About all specs, I know it. Also I checked reviews between those two devices, but still I'm confused about what device choice.

Could you please help me out to choice? In two specific ways, camera and audio system. 'Cause, the rest of this is the same, processor, gpu, screen size is kinda different but I have no worry on this. The things are getting me worried is the camera and the audio system.

I will thank you all of you for the replies and personals opinions.

Regards!
[Sony Xperia M2] lozohcum:
I would take Moto G because of android updates and clean AOSP. Also Xperia M2 is very sensitive about scratches on it's back. Once I got my M2 I installed special protective layer on it.
[Sony Xperia M2] xLobito:
Thanks for the reply.

I thought about the confirmed updates for Moto G (Android KK 4.4.4 and Android L), and the scratches, thing I read here before, but, about the technician specs, how does it work the camera? Is so ugly as the reviews says? Or, can it be acceptable? The audio is better than average or still round with the average devices?

Thanks again.
[Sony Xperia M2] lozohcum:
I use KK firmware and camera in my opinion is just good. It's not ugly or crapy.

Depends also on your requirements. It's not Nikon camera though
[Sony Xperia M2] Crim Soukyuu:
You should also take into account how well you can hold them, as well as battery time. Personally, the Moto G doesn't sit well in my hand at all. The M2 on the other hand, does. Battery time, M2 seems to be winning, probably because of the lower screen resolution.

As for audio system, according to GSMArena, the Moto G has less noise on the output. I don't notice the noise on my M2 with one pair of headphones, but it's quite audible with some in-ears.

The camera on the 4.3 firmware is bad, 4.4 fixes that. See for yourself.. M2 Aqua is just M2 with KK and water protection, so you can use it to compare 4.3 and 4.4 camera.

One more thing you might want to take into account is that the Moto G is more popular, so the dev scene is much bigger/more active.

I'm rather disappointed about that when it comes to the M2.
[Sony Xperia M2] xLobito:
I have a Canon Réflex Camera, so I don't need an excelent camera, but, either way, the camera is one of the important things when you choose one smartphone or another one.

I checked now the difference between Moto G and Xperia M2 (4.4.2 KitKat Firmware), and, the difference is not too much (looking at Xperia M2 Aqua, which, as you say, is theorically the same as Xperia M2 with KK), so, the last thing is the Headphones and their noises. I'm still kinda worried about it.

But until now, I'm thinking about buy the Xperia M2.

Any comments or opinions? I will thank to you.

Regards!
[Sony Xperia M2] xpc21:
An opinion from who had both. Also I already have newer ones Xperia like Z1 and ZQ; a model made from Z1 to Brazil. The M2 at the first moment seems a compact Z2, like the design, the place where buttons are. Weight is good for the size, also it is thin. I think Sony could do a 5inch screen cause there are too much bars arounding the lcd or if they cut, made more a compact device, like they did with ZQ, made it perfect and confortable. The LCD quality is ok, nothing really to be glad like others Xperia but for a mid from Sony i expected more ppi, it has almost less 100 compared to Moto G. Also the glass i didnt like, keeps too easy dust and fingers prints and it isnt too easy to clean. Camera resolution is awful, i wont comment about the VGA cause dont worth it, so i couldn believe that Sony done that, even that old mobiles like Xperia ARC, X10, they have a much better cam. Really dont understand why Sony made such a dummbie phone. The CPU is good, felt some laggys, nothing really bad but for a quad should make better operations. Volume sound is poor, even with headset, like the equalizer and the multiple options but unfortunatly these couldnt make sounds better. Finally battery isnt nothing especial, mine is with almost 18hours of good usage before a make a new charge cycle. Anyway, my opinions are based that already have the Moto G, a trully competitor and that made really good impressions.
[Sony Xperia M2] Crim Soukyuu:
I must really say, anyone claiming the volume is poor should visit a hearing specialist. I keep hearing those claims and to be honest the only thing that comes to mind is that people claiming that are half-deaf.
[Sony Xperia M2] xLobito:
Thanks the two of you, in first place, for you replies and opinions.

Moto G still is better positioned than the Xperia M2 when it comes to sound system and everything related about that. And just one says that the sound is relatively poor. I don't think that Xperia M2 has that bad sound as you say (Personally talking), but, your opinions helps me to choice better. I'm still thinking about buy the Xperia, just because looks better for me (And testing the camera, thanks to the user that put here the url, by the way), and also I can hold it better than Moto G (I held it before, so).

Anyways, more opinions, it'll be better.

Thanks for everything :3

See ya ~

Edit: Could anyone confirm that the screen is so bad? As the user says, the dust is holding in the screen and also the fingerprints gets marked on it. So, is this totally true? Thanks.
[Sony Xperia M2] Crim Soukyuu:
I can't really say as I have put a screen protector on it the moment I got it. Same for the back side, btw. The back is not glass, or if it's glass, it's not scratch resistant and scratches easily.

The pixel density is more than enough, however. It's just that people chase after big numbers, so they keep increasing the resolution (and with it, the power drain) with each iteration. Nexus 7 2013 was getting praises for its 1280x800 7" screen back then, and the M2's screen has about the same pixel density.
[Sony Xperia M2] lozohcum:
I think Xperia devices have much better sound quality than other smartphones. I use Koss Porta Pro for music and the sound it very good.
[Sony Xperia M2] peter-k:
Yep the screen always looks like the side window of your car after your toddler sat there for 30 minutes while eating a chocolate cookie.
