Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :)
[T-Mobile LG G3] dejvid15:
will there be an update to the PurpleDrake method on the D851 with the new 10m update? for it to work properly?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Nsx93:
YOu can still get rooted if u are on 10m. I did. It wont exit properly so u will need to pull the battery after it is done.
[T-Mobile LG G3] tribalartgod:
Correct. However, it does not install TWRP, nor the custom Boot.IMG to prevent triggering the root counter. I too would like to see an update to include these items.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Nsx93:
I see your concern.. you can manually install twrp but i have no idea bout the boot.img

i did all except that. Someone mentioned you can flash back to stock and it will fix the root counter. If you ever need to send in your phone that is... but i do understand its easier if this would be one package kind of thing.
[T-Mobile LG G3] tribalartgod:
IDK how to even check that yet. LOL. I have already rooted and unrooted, just to familiarize myself with the process.
[T-Mobile LG G3] johnny quest:
Does this root method work on the t-mobile D851 10M
[T-Mobile LG G3] tribalartgod:
Yes, but as stated above, it will glitch. The glitch just freezes on the permaroot steps. Once this happens, removing the battery and rebooting still keeps your device rooted. With 10M, currently, you will have to manually install TWRP. I recommend downloading the IMG file online, and using Flashify to flash it.
[T-Mobile LG G3] johnny quest:
Thank you for the response. Do you think its worth rooting since 5.0 is coming out soon? I still want to root but will I have to unroot in order to get the 5.0 upgrade? or better yet, will the LG get the upgrade any time soon. Sorry for these questions. And also, since this phone has the top notch camera resolution, will rooting affect the camera?
[T-Mobile LG G3] tribalartgod:
I unrooted to ensure I get the update. If you are rooted, and have not turned off OTA, you might get the OTA, and it might break something. I personally like the LG camera better than any other so far. Another reason I went back to stock. Rooting and keeping the stock OS, should leave the camera alone. If you flash a different ROM, your mileage may vary.

We should be getting 5.0 before the end of the year, officially. LINK
[T-Mobile LG G3] johnny quest:
I really appreciate your response. Thank you I will make sure that I have OTA on and maybe root and leave stock.

LG G3 D851: Root before or after Lollipop

My question is do I root now while on Android 4.4.2 or will I be safe to wait until after Lollipop has rolled out? I really want root but I'm afraid that it may not be an option after the update. Any guidance will be appreciated! Thanks in advance! :)
[T-Mobile LG G3] SAMMMMMM:
Waiting for device...

Hey, sorry to bug you. I cannot seem to get past Waiting for device...

I've installed the recommended drivers package, I've made sure it's in PTP mode, USB debugging connected, drivers appear to've installed properly: nothing. Just sits there.

Anything I could be missing? D851 running 4.4.2, Windows 7
[T-Mobile LG G3] tribalartgod:
Did you change the port number in device manager?
[T-Mobile LG G3] SAMMMMMM:
No, perhaps I didn't. Is there a long and detailed explanation of how to use this rooting tool? The first post doesn't mention anything about a port change. :(
[T-Mobile LG G3] tribalartgod:
My apologies, that's for restoring stock... I see in your posts, you have it set to PTP... Mine was set to MTP. While "waiting for device" was on screen, I unplugged and replugged the phone. Aside from that, seems like you have done everything else properly...

Anyone else having issues making backups of AOSP ROMs? The backup folder is empty.

---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------

Looks like its only when backing up to external SD. Internal backs up fine.
[T-Mobile LG G3] SAMMMMMM:
I mean I'd be more frustrated if I wasn't waiting for lollipop to drop, so I'm shelving this for now, but I hope it isn't a persistent nag.

PurpleDrake issue

i was just rooting my G3 with purpledrake, and while it was doing the permaroot part, purpledrake closed on my computer and now my phone is stuck on a screen showing a red hand with a cross through it and a usb cord plugged into the side of a phone. What should i do?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] backsidesmack:
I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4. 16GB internal and 64GB sdcard. My sdcard only has 28GB memory left and that apparently is not enough to backup the internal memory. Anyway I want Titanium Backup to only backup to Google Drive only. I don't want a backup on my sdcard because it takes up too much space
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Raymondlikesroot:
can't you always just transfer it to google drive?

---------- Post added at 01:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 AM ----------

oh yeah and um... u should post this in the Q&A section.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] backsidesmack:
Titanium makes the backup to the sdcard first and then sends a copy to Google drive. Since theres not enough room on the sdcard it can't copy anything to Google Drive.
[Verizon LG G3] kidbudi:
Hey guys, I've looked around a bit and cannot seem to find an answer to this question. I was fiddling around with my sound volume file on my lg g3 trying to raise the max volume and I believe I saved that root file back to the deivce with either the wrong extension or wrong file name. I am now stuck on the verizon loading screen when I boot, is there any way I can go and just change the file back to what it should be because I saved a backup of the files I altered before I changed them. Thank you in advanced.
[Verizon LG G3] ohlin5:
Are you just rooted? Or had you unlocked and installed TWRP prior to your incident? If the latter, TWRP has a file manager built into it that you might be able to use to manually restore your backed up file. Outside of that I'm not sure.
[Samsung Gear S] myisf08:
All,

I purchased the Gear Circle wireless headphones from T-mobile. I saw a tweet from a T-mobile employee yesterday stating that are available in local stores. Whaa!?! I called five stores and finally found a store in Tampa who had them in stock. They are selling them for $130.

I've had them for 30 minutes so I haven't had much hands on time with them. The sound quality is great as you can adjust the equalizer on your phone. My only complaint so far is I wish I could turn the volume up higher. There might be another option for it. I need to play around with the headset more.

Anyhoo, thought I would spread the news to my xda family. Enjoy! :)
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
You may or may not have this answer depending on the devices you very had what's the difference between these and the LG tone plus(or any LG tone varient) I want to justify pay 130$ I have the tone plus myself but I see a lot of carriers Employees in store wearing the LG tone lines as well the Ultra in sprint/AT&T.
[Samsung Gear S] rfs830:
wow 130!! They better be good. I might have to wait for more reivews to come out and maybe same deals on these.
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
Assuming you don't have the Gear S yet what do you have it paired? Your Note 4 by chance and is there a separate app you have to download for the speech to text or can you just say OK Google right out of the box
[Samsung Gear S] myisf08:
Sorry, I cant speak on the comparison between the Circle and the LG headphones as I never owned a pair of LG headphones.

I'm a avid runner/bicyclist and I wanted wireless headphones while exercising and these fit the bill. Cost was not an issue.

The headphones work with S voice out the box. I've tried using Google as the default and no dice. Is there another app I can use to make Google work? I'm not a fan of S voice.
[Samsung Gear S] myisf08:
Update: I'm using "S for Switch Voice" to use Google Now on my Note 3. Instructions for the app are in the link below. Hope this helps.

http://galaxy-note-3.wonderhowto.co...-galaxy-note-3-using-only-your-voice-0150709/
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
OK so your Gear circle is paired to you Note 3 right now I see. And thanks for the heads-up on Google Now
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
I saw that the gear circle has NFC have you tired that yet? I guess this helps justify the high price they want. Although I saw some on Ebay for around 100$
[Samsung Gear S] myisf08:
Wow, I didnt know the circle had nfc capabilities. Sounds cool. But I'd rather swipe my card than pull off my headset to pay for something. Call me lazy! :)
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
LOL agreed
[Samsung Gear S] gingy13:
Why does a headset need NFC? I'm planning on vetting a headset along with the gear s but is there really any difference between these and the LG???
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
I think the NFC has to do with the tags so it can automatic connect once it;s in range of the tag vs bluetooth. I have the LG tones Plus they work fine for me when the price comes down to say 60$ I will buy the circle
[Samsung Gear S] LiamS:
Yeah I imagine the Nfc tag is there to connect to a device / start an app like music player rather than as a payment method.

These look like a sweet set of headphones but don't know if I have a need for them!
[Samsung Gear S] highlordkram:
Will any newer bluetooth headset work with the Gear S to play music through?
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
Bluetooth	v4.1, A2DP

Bluetooth Profiles

A2DP, AVRCP, HFP, HSP

I will stick with my LG Tones for now. As long as it has this version should work
[Samsung Gear S] highlordkram:
Thank you. I brought by Blue Buds with me to AT&T and they did work! I bought the black Gear S, all great so far.
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
:good::highfive: welcom aboard you have AT&T or did you just get the watchphone from there?
[Samsung Gear S] scoobrel:
At&t sells them for $99. Will tmobile match the price?

[Samsung Gear S] srtpusher:
Woah. I should have bought these Friday.. they are now out of stock everywhere by me
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
Good question. when I bought my GS today a guy bought his 2 along with the gear circle he leased the GS not sure about the GCircle can you put down payment on gear circle?
[Sony Xperia L] kmikzi:
I will tell the whole history just in case, it might be relevant.

It started with battery problems, it was charging at a very slow rate (4-5 hours) and it was lasting 1 hour top. The camera was the cuplrit, it wasn't working at all and by disabling the camera app the phone worked fine for a week.

Suddenly stopped charging now.

When the phone is on it doesn't recognize the charger not even the computer, no bottom led. The computer doesn't recognize the phone either.

When the phone is off, if i connect the charger, the bottom led turns red for a second, SONY logo appears, battery appears for another second and reboots... infinitely.

I thought that the USB connector was the problem but i can connect it to my laptop in fastboot mode and flashmode, the phone is recognized in both modes, i even "repaired" the phone with Sony PC Companion and i'm having the same problems like before: no camera and no charging.

I don't think it is a firmware problem, i've re-flashed two stock firmwares from XPERIA Firmware website and no success.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:

charging problem

I will tell the whole history just in case, it might be relevant.

i used power bank to charge my phone,Suddenly stopped charging now.

When the phone is on it doesn't recognize the charger not even the computer, no bottom led. The computer doesn't recognize the phone either.

It is charging properly with power bank always but not with charger and computer with usb. if i connect the charger, the bottom led turns red for a second, SONY logo appears, battery appears for another second and reboots... infinitely.

I thought that the USB connector was the problem but i can connect it to my laptop in fastboot mode and flash mode, the phone is recognized in both modes, i even "repaired" the phone with Sony PC Companion and i'm facing the same problem still.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hello folks :)

Okay. I have had a 1st gen Moto G since March, and have - last week - bought myself the superb 2nd gen Moto G. I have had a flip shell (turquoise) on my first gen, almost since day one. Now I have the 2nd gen, I have just bought myself a "Lemon and Lime" flip shell for it. These cases are very well designed, in most respects, but there are a few discrepancies and issues between the flip shells for each generation. In the video below, I show you both models, and explain as well as I can, the strengths and weaknesses in the design of them.

I hope you find this helpful... and possibly entertaining. Thank you :) :

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] big70tom:
Do you really think we still need screen protection on these newet phones? Gorrilla glasss. 3 is pretty amazing. I don't think scrarching is as easy anymore. I teied Temperex glass on my g3 , but is always eventually bubbled,so ive been bareback. I like the feel better. How bout nmist of you, yes or no?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Kawaisa:
Take a single grain of sand and gently rub it against the screen. It will scratch your screen like no other.

People have already mentioned that they've gotten scratches on their Note 4 screen. You can risk it if you're not anal about scratches though.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mrnovanova:
I had the nillkin tempered on my 3g and it was flawless. I have see a couple of comments about the adverse effects of tempered on the note 4 due to its roundness. Apparently putting a sharp edged tempered glass on top of that rounded screen caused cuts and other problems. If you decide to go tempered make sure it suits the note 4 and read the comments before you buy.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] A|ex:
Enjoy the naked feel and good luck to you. All it takes is a fine piece of dirt, a diamond ring or glass! to scratch the damn thing.

Just because it is G glass it does not mean it will not scratch, it just is stronger under more force.

You also posted in the wrong forum!!!!!!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] lovekeiiy:
do you need to, no. But there is a difference between scratch resistant and scratch proof. Easy or not, it's still possible. So you just have to gauge how much of risk of scratches and your enjoyment of the phone if a scratch does occur. Screen protectors are a lot cheaper than a new screen or phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Hgaara:
I have a few micro scratches on my screen. I can notice them when the screen is off, and light bounces off them. I tried taking care of my phone but tiny particles are hard to see and thus protect from. I am getting the Zagg HDX screen protector and hoping it won't have the halo effect on that.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] big70tom:
What is this halo effect? I thought it was only on tempered gass sp?

The Google Now Weather card shows the wrong location most of the time. It looks like it is showing the location for the cell tower I'm connected to, not my WiFi. I have the location services set for battery saving which uses Wi-Fi and cellular networks. Even when I had it set for high accuracy which added GPS as a location source it still mostly thought my location was the cell tower I connect to. I have my home address set. How do I tell Google Now not to use the cell tower for my location since it is several cities away?

hi,

I have the Droid Razr CDMA version XT912 , with stock 4.1.2 .. I recently rooted it. Then, I want to hack / use the hotspot feature. I followed the direction here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746873

"

_id 66 "entitlement check"

Once there, change "value" field from "1" to "0" (this is the only step different from the original process, where the _id was 150). "

It doesn't really work. I mean after I edited the setting.db and reboot. It does allow me to turn on the hotspot feature without problem. However, I get an error message like this " Unfortunately The process com.motorola.process.system has stopped. " This error message will always pop back out even 3 to 5 min. Although it doesn't seem affecting other features of the phone yet, I don't see anyone reporting this problem after the hack.

is there some other setting that I need to change ? Please kindly guide me to the right direction or answer

Thanks

MOTO G XT1033 IMEI issues and EFS Prof

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xjcrazed:
Lyriquidperfection,

I am trying to use EFS Professional v2.1.73 on a rooted Samsung Galaxy S II (SGH-T989) "Hercules" running the stock UVMC6 4.1.2 JellyBean. EFS Professional starts up fine, but as soon as I try anything requiring file system access I get an error:

Number was less than the array's lower bound in the first dimension. Parameter name: srcIndex

And on the log screen it says:

Checking PIT file integrity...
Operation failed!"

The pit file that is generated by EFS Professional is 1024KB in size, but looking at it in a hex editor most of that is just forward and trailing '0's. I also did a manual dump by:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=SGH-T989-JB.pit bs=8 count=131072

Quickly comparing the two I do not see any differences in the file, and the md5sum is the same, so I have high confidence that EFS Professional is getting the right data. It just seems like Samsung may have made significant changes to the format of the pit data when they released JB.

I've attached the pit file that EFS Professional extracted. Any insights?
