[Lenovo P780] Re-Mi:
Step by step guide :

If your phone is not already soft bricked, back up whatever you want. External SD card is fine. If your phone is soft-brick then say goodbye to your data and skip this step.

Uncompress all the files you downloaded from this thread into a directory where you can remember. Including the ROMs.

Shutdown your phone if its not in a bootloop. If it is skip this step.

Open "Device Manager" on your Windows PC.

Plug in your phone through the micro USB cable. A device will show up for a few seconds in "Device Manager". After that, it will disappear again!

Recognize the device tree where it appeared, and wait for it as you unplug and plug in your phone again (if bootloop, its automatic!)

Catch it with a right click as it appears! Then choose "Update Drivers" and pick the directory where you uncompressed the drivers you downloaded above. Its ok if after catching it the device disconnects. You only need to install the drivers now.

Assuming the drivers are correctly installed, run the Smart Phone Flash Tool.

Click on scatter-loading and choose the scatter file "MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt" of the ROM you want to flash.

Make sure the checkbox "DL DA All With Check Sum" is CHECKED

Click on "Firmware->Upgrade" button.

Plug in your powered down phone via the USB cable again. See it flash.

When a big green circle appears on the screen, your are done!

Woohoo! Got my phone working! :D

Thanks for your help guys. In the end I borrowed a laptop that had windows 7 on, which I was able to get the flash tool working on. So I've now flashed with the kitkat version of the stock ROM

I still don't know why TWRP wouldn't flash any one of the eight different ROMs I tried!

I'm going to continue messing about with the phone. I'd like to get Life ROM working, but I need TWRP back first.

Again, thanks all.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjd584:
Hey all,

So I'm due for a phone. Currently using the HTC DNA on Verizon.

I was all about the Moto X(2014) until I heard about the Droid Turbo, which looks pretty sweet.

These are my concerns:

Moto X will probably have a larger Dev community, as the turbo is a Verizon exclusive.

The Turbo will probably have a lot more bloat than the Moto X.

The Moto X boasts a 'Pure' android experience, and while nothing has been speculated software wise on the turbo, it will likely be similar, but with a **** ton of Verizon bull****.

Does the higher resolution screen, extra gig of ram and faster processor worth it?

What are your suggestions?

Thanks
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piccit:
There will be no difference on bloat. The turbo may have extra droid stuff (like circle widgets and that zap thing) but moto X on vzw still comes with vzw bloat (this is based on my 2013 X having vzw bloat)
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sthpaw01:
The new X has 8 Verizon apps. I have disabled 5 of them. Verizon Voicemail can not be disabled. I use the hotspot app and the Verizon mobile app to check data usage.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berzerker7:
I'd add another phone into the mix, supposed rumors detail the Nexus 6 is coming to Verizon.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Note10.1Dude:
If you are sticking with Verizon, then the Droid. better specs, better screen, better battery. But going back to carrier lock and carrier bloat is not something I am willing to do after leaving Sprint last year. I'll be activating an X or Nexus on either T-mo or Cricket soon. Can always walk away if I'm not happy.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aviwdoowks:
I bet the screen brightness will push many to the Turbo. More juice to allow a brighter display. So it was with the X/Maxx dilemma.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreenMunky:
I went with the X because I don't like the droid branding or the fact that it has capacitive navigation buttons, like the galaxy phones still cling to.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopesrequiem:
The one benefit of capacitive is that they can't burn in at least. I got the new moto x and love it. Might still get the Note 4 instead though. I'd rather have a 16 mp camera on Samsung then a 21 with bad software. That's the only ring Motorola can't get to be great. Camera software.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marlon41:
Ah man, I'm on day 13 of moto x 2014 and now news of droid turbo leaks. Better battery, hopefully more storage and same software features. Thinking about returning moto x to wait for turbo.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svtfmook:
Turbo has good specs, but looks like moto went back in time 5 years in the design department
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coronado is dead:

Function over form:

Returning my moto x. I love it, but the entire package is way better on the turbo. It seems exactly like a 5 inch version of the nexus 6. I even set up an exchange for a different moto x yesterday and I contact moto today to get my money back.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coronado is dead:
Droid life is reporting that the battery code listed on the Turbo benchmark sheet relates to a 3,900mAh battery spotted in China.

Not too shabby.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marlon41:
I ended up returning my moto x, hopefully these droid turbo rumors prove to be true.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svtfmook:
Yeah, function over form, but who can feel performance difference over any flagship device out this month? I have an iPhone 6, moto x, M8 and they all perform the same. The only draw back I have is the camera on the x sucks, like really really bad and no good cases for the x. Otherwise, I like the near pure android experience of the x over sense and iOS. And the x just looks so much better than the other 2
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robstunner:
The only reasoning I have to keep my moto x is that it's the pure edition so it will most certainly get updates quicker than the droid and it's rocking and unlocked bootloader
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coronado is dead:
Yes, the Turbo ill most assuredly have a locked bootloader, be almost impossible to Root, and probably never see anything past Android L.

But dear god, those specs.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mayze23:
The last 4 phones that I've owned have had amoled screens GS3,GS4, Moto X(2013) and Moto X (2014) and never had burn in issues.

Although the Galaxy phones didn't have soft keys they did have constant icons in the status bar ie. clock, battery etc.. No burn in whatsoever
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robstunner:
Still can happen, I haven't either but the possibility is there unfortunately
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Note10.1Dude:
If I were willing to be on Verizon, the Droid Turbo for sure. It has everything I was wishing for in a new X (well, mSD would be nice too).
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Doesn't apply to me because I'm not on Verizon. Also I am not a fan of capacitive buttons. Probably the X, but the Droid is enticing with the 21MP camera and presumably good battery life and durable.

Returning my X and will see what the Turbo has to offer once it's released ... I have until the 14th to start the return process on my X.

I love the X, but I'm finding the screen is practically useless outdoors in direct sunlight (a situation I'm often in). So I'm hoping the qhd on the Turbo is better ... Plus that battery!!!

If the Turbo has amoled, don't expect it to be good in direct sunlight. LCD is better at that. But yes, that battery is nice

I didn't have an issue with the Note 3, which I believe is amoled too ... I know that every phone will struggle in this situation, but I just need something that's somewhat viewable. I can't go running to a shady area to see my screen [emoji12] (heck, sometime there is no shady areas!). Just need to be able to read an email and/or read a plan.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robstunner:
Sorry but that's not entirely true. Samsung has some very bright panels (brighter than HTC and nexus) and it's a samoled screen on them.

Help with exchanging phones & moving apps + data+ everything from device to the other

Helo there, I have a Galaxy S4 gti-9505 and i want to exchange it for a Nexus 5 ( for obvious stock Android reasons)

I haven't exchanged it yet and i'm trying to save all of my data on the s4 on my computer (or cloud storage if it's possible) until I get the nexus sometime in the next couple of weeks. Note : i won't have both phones at the same time. Also i'd like to point out that my galaxy s4 is rooted while i'm not sure whether the nexus will be rooted or not (most likely not).

Any suggestions or advices on exchanging from owners of both phones are more than welcome.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Without both being rooted, Helium is an option.

With root on both , titanium backup can't be beat.

Just backup and transfer the backup folder to pc. Once your new device is setup, install the appropriate app and transfer the backup to phone.

Of course we're talking only user apps and data. ?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZ Eddie:
Anyone else? Every 3rd party Lockscreen I've ever used on any TouchWiz phone all have the same behavior. Much of the time they work great. But randomly when It turn on my phone, it goes right to the desktop. No Lockscreen comes up.

And once in awhile, the stock lockscreen comes up instead of the 3rd party lockscreen.

And if I disable the stock lockscreen, then still, the 3rd party lockscreen won't come up once in awhile.

Anyone know of a way to make 3rd party lockscreens more reliable?

I've tried converting them to /system/app and it didn't help at all.

I'm currently using Locker Master (really neat) because it hides the status bar and I love that feature.

I also use Widget Locker Pro and some others such as C-Locker. All have the same issue. I had the same problem with my Galaxy S4 and probably phones before that.

Any suggestions?

I apologize in advance if this seems like a repeated question.

I have a carrier-locked Galaxy S3 from AT&T. I have a modified 4.4.2 image running. As a result it appears the network unlock code does not work. I've tried a couple of alternatives ways to unlock but none have worked. I'm on my fifth attempt... and if this doesn't work the device will be permanently locked to AT&T's network.

I'd like to flash with ODIN a completely stock 4.4.2 image. No root, no busybox, no additions, no subtractions, no changes whatsoever.

I cannot seem to find a link which has an absolutely pure AT&T image. If someone would post a link to a pristine 4.4.2 image I'd appreciate it. Thank you in advance

I'm running 4,4,2 baseband NE4, The "about" shows "Device status Custom".
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
From everything I have seen and read, there is no such thing as a pure stock ATT 4.3 or 4.4.2 ROM. ATT never released a full 4.3 or 4.4.2 Odin flashable ROM for the i747. 4.3 and 4.4.2 were only available as OTA updates.

Now that you are on 4.4.2 bootloader and modem, don't flash anything that attempts to downgrade the bootloader.

When you say "modified image", do you mean a custom ROM?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
The closest I have seen is the stock rom posted by enewman17. However, it does still have busybox and root. He does give a download of the stock recovery. Maybe it would be possible to install, remove root and busybox, then go back to stock recovery. Keep in mind that you only have one attempt remaining and I have not tried this.

You can't reflash the ota. You MUST be running stock MJB for it to work because all it does is patch the files on your device.
