I have seen that you can replace the battery yourself if you are careful enough, there are tutorials with step-by-step pictures.. As for the battery, an Optimus G battery will also work, but you must make sure the battery is authentic; I have read that there are lots of counterfeit ones offered online.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] sunandoghosh:
hello thank you for your prompt reply. actuially thats my concern that I was wondering if there is some reliable trusted repair shop they would be able to supply authetic battery and also do professionally the replacement...i m really not good at tech things and if it comes to hardware i really dont want to end with a phone not working :(

Hence the request...has anbody got their nexus 4 replaced here at london locally ..:o

hello

I replaced my n4 battery last week with a battery claiming to be genuine from ebay uk.

it was quite easy the tricky part is the adhesive holding the battery down its pretty strong stuff.

When I bought the battery I didn't know if it actually was genuine or not, but after fitting it it appears to work as I remember my n4 working when I first had it.

I would recommend you do it yourself one other thing if the phone has never been opened, the clips for the rear half of the case are difficult to undo, so take care when prying open the back.

Hi,

I live in Holland and I want to buy the original battery.

How is it holding up?

Are you getting more SOT than before?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] eksasol:
Hey guys, I ran into some issues after replacing my battery. I bought this one, it look identical to the original I think.

After replacing it, my phone gets the red LED light if I try to hold Power to turn it on. The only way to turn it on is by entering fastboot mode (Power + Vol Down).

The phone would not reboot itself on software commands (ie. rebooting from recovery menu or "fastboot reboot"), the only way is to enter fastboot mode when the phone is off. Secondly, the battery icon does have the lightning charging sign, however the status said it's "Not charging". There is no green charging light. Right now the battery percentage is decreasing as I use the phone.

I am able to transfer files to the phone if I connect it to the computer, I have to assume it is charging even though the phone doesn't update the battery info. I am running fully factory stock firmware, Android 5.0.1.

I wonder if this is an issue with the battery, or if I need to completely drain it or some extra step I need to perform? Thanks.

Nevermind, it was a faulty battery and I'm getting an exchange. I guess they stored it for a so long.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Tommebaas:
I don't think it's the official one..

My N4's battery was starting to expand. I noticed it when the Qi orb charger stopped working and the glass was lifting up on the front left side. I did the replacement myself and it was not too hard. I would suggest watching the YouTube videos a few times over. As for tools, I borrowed the screwdrivers from my office, guitar pics and a hair dryer from my wife. As for how long it took, it was about an hour. You will need a lot of patience with opening the phone and prying out the old one. As for the battery, I figured I would get what I paid for, so I avoided the $10 ones on Amazon and Ebay as there were too many bad reviews there. I was able to buy a brand new (non OEM) one from Radio Shack online and ship it too the store down the street.

I can now get 24hrs up time with light use (stock 5.0.1).

Hey guys, I know a lot of us has been stuck with paper weights since we messed up flashing our phones thinking the L710 and L710t were the same... sooo, if you lost your imei and baseband unkown and no network and no audio and all these issues and just want to go back to stock.. you've come to the right place.

Remember this is for the sprint sph l710T .... note the T for triband lol

Step 1. Download Odin (search google)

Step 2. .tar file from here (https://mega.co.nz/#!cBBDEBpJ!t5IAcCaMg2w7GDI0zhhmZw0e7jh0Uv0v4gJpsH8gb6o)

put this in to odin in the pda section (note: if the file gives an md5 mismatch of some sort, remove (.md5) from the extension to leave the .tar)

step 3. put your phone in download mode... flash that shiiiiii, be patient and profit!

youre very welcome

BIIIGGGGG THANKS TO THESE GUYS FROM ANDROID FORUMS

Kdude63 for the link

the_dumbest_noob for actually pulling the .tar for kies to save our behinds! ;););)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
yep i can verify i had to get this version cause the charging port on my phone died and according to the site it came from it should work across the board with Sprint, Boost, and Virgin Sph-L710T
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
I made a flashable zip that De-Odex the stock rom https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95832962473400340 check it out if you want but read the description :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TujungaGuy:
Great news, thanks to all who made this happen!

I'm a novice at this, If I flash this .tar my phone will no longer be rooted, correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
if you flash the stock tar that is provided it will erase your entire phone except for the external storage and then replace it all with whats inside of it including your recovery
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TujungaGuy:
I see, thanks! What then would be the benefit of flashing the deodex zip posted above? Will that allow me to uninstall bloatware? What's the purpose?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
De-Odex helps for themeing and swapping out system apps that aren't from Google.....like if you want a updated Samsung app like the music player for instance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TujungaGuy:
Copy that. Out of curiosity, it appears most people need this .tar because they lost their baseband / modems after installing a different rom. Wouldn't it be easier to just flash the L710T NF4 modem firmware? I downloaded it and was going to try it with a few roms that were messing with my baseband. Thoughts?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
that file basically just puts the right files in on your SD card which then can be used in PhilZ via custom restore i believe....let me check into that
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iviyth0s:
Will this work for SPH-L710T on Virgin Mobile?

Because this happened to my friend on her's: http://androidforums.com/threads/sph-710t-deleted-google-play-services.887991/

TL:DR=She deleted Google Play Services and her phone is all kinds of screwed up, factory reset didn't help the phone refresh the system file on its own, so either I need the stock .tar OR someone to upload me their Google Play Services system app (my Stratosphere II's usually works once but I think Google Play tries to update it and it fails and then all the problems start again)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
yes or at least should work on sprint,boost and virgin
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iviyth0s:
So her phone wouldn't get screwed up with any kind of modem/network setting incompatibility because she's a Virgin Mobile subscriber and this was pulled from a Sprint L710T would it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
correct it won't get screwed up
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
the one custom rom that will boot without the need for stock kernel is Conquest Singularity link https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=15185 currently im running the Conquest-Singularity-10-beta9-Full.zip with the Conquest-Singularity-10-b10-update.zip everything seems to work fine except for the rotation but someone over at android forums says Conquest-Singularity-9-Full.zip by it self works including rotation he never mentioned the Conquest-Singularity-9.5-Update.zip so that's basically it to figure out how to install this amazing rom go to the Closed OP here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2774902

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iviyth0s:
THANK YOU, her phone is back to normal and it even kept her model intact!

And now I backed up her phone (Titanium and Nandroid) right this time (to SD not internal)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
flash this kernel after you flash Conquest so rotation gets fixed https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5y5w6clj...T747-TW-KK-4.4-ATT-05-13-2014 kernel.zip?dl=0

THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH! It actually worked! After 2 weeks of searching, this thing actually worked! I will definitely recommend this page to anyone who has the same problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zentsang:
Do you still have this TAR available? The mega.co.nz link says the file is not available. I am in this exact same predicament where I thought this phone was the same as the L710 and now... I can't get anything I try to work. Always stuck in a boot-loop and I've tried a couple ROMs. I also can't seem to find a Stock ROM anywhere!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] UltimaXtreme:
I hate bumping an old thread, but in this case, I'm in the same predicament after flashing an OS and not having a way to update the PRL and such. The L710T TAR would be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
I found the the tar for the sph-l710t for ya! I'm a guide over on Android forums so I remembered seeing it. It's the nf4 .tar so its not the newest, meaning you will probably get an update soon after you boot up.

sph-l710t nf4 stock .tar
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] UltimaXtreme:
Thanks. Caught that same tar off AF, been enjoying my system after that, and flashing to an L710T compatible rom. Now just trying to deal with a pending charge before I can activate the stupid thing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mobil11030:
I have a triband L710T currently running custom ROM OctOS-L M5 (Lollipop 5.1.1), OH1 baseband. I am selling the phone and trying to flash back to bone stock. When I try to ODIN the .tar from AF, it fails with error "sw rev check fail fused 2 binary 1". I tried redownloading the .tar in case the first one was corrupt, but it still fails. What am I not doing right?

stock sph-l710t

i've been trying to find an operating system and gui for my sph-l710t for a long time. i hate the way samsung shoves all that crap -bloatware- down your throat. i put aicp on last week and i think it was 10.1 or even lower but i got it to work but i lost my phone, no carrier and couldn't restore it no matter what i did. so i tried the exact file you just did and the closest i got it was to the third level splash screen in the boot process. i even found a site that i trusted much more and downloaded the .md5 file and got the same thing.

i do need a phone and even more i need music so i went searching again. by the way i can not odin anything into this phone except twrp. NOTHING! could this problem be the binary code not being upgraded because once i got CMOD on it it runs very good alas minus the music and the phone functions. i have to communicate through google hangouts which isn't so bad except you best have unlimited data.

i need help here. i need this phone to ring.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
What happens when you try odin? Odin should work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pgellen:
i cant do anything except flash twrp with odin. everything else fails. everything. i've installed every triband file i can find through the bootloader and i only get a small old sprint logo and then it too goes to the samsung splash screen and locks. ive let this run 24 hrs thinking "try this" but nothing has worked.i haven't had a phone for 6 weeks and no music at all either. i can load some roms, liquidsmooth runs really well. aicp has some bugs but it runs pretty good and cmod 12.1 with all the updates if i can figure out how to get them to install runs beautifully however, i've flashed the modem files for the t and one time i had cell service for a minute then it was gone.i have the source files but i don't know how to use them i only got back here because i was looking for the nd8 bootloader file. my wicked 8 won't load and i tried to load kt747 but, that didn't help it. all i find here on this page is nd4. i dont know the difference but im game. ive done many things to this phone and always been able to get it back up and running. something is locked hard and the first time i tried to root it i lost the only two functions that really matter. i read about A GUY WHO ENDED UP TAKING HIS TRIBAND TO A REPAIR SHOP BUT I KNOW A GUY in india who can write the code in but id sure like to get at least some music on it tonight. id also really like to stay with liquid or cmod because i've used them quite a bit with chainfire and his stuff flashing stuff so i know those two rome and i like them very much.so, if you find a solution for me would you email me? i forget to go back to certain sites because i go to so many and im old....haha thanks

boost triband sph-l710t......

This whole switch to triband model has really confused me for some odd reason. Im not so mucj a developer..... I really prefer to root a stock rom. While having the l710 I extracted the backup from my phone. Deodexed the files with the kitchen. Now with this triband I notice thetes no d2lterefresh folder or files. I see the tmobile, sprint 710 , Verizon files but no boost d2lterefresh. So i google and research evetything. Make a backup and put it into the new arch-kitchen. Deodexed, its rooted, its got busybox and so on..... I build the rom and when i flash it in recovery it gets stuck at the samsung screen. Im sure i havent correctly added the d2lterefresh files needed so im thinking that has something to do with it. I want a stock, rooted, deodexed OH1 rom. Then I can start debloating it and theme it alil bit to my likening. I use Xposed to make simple theme edits using Wanam. Anyone have a de-bloated n deodexed stock OH1 back up or .zip to flash??? If not helping correcting arch-kitchen with the d2lterefresh correct files or point me in the right direction. I have a feeling the updater script is not correct then archi-kitchen automatically creates..... help with the correct updater script and I think will will have a base for the OH1, rooted, deodexed, debloted rom..... this has been my goal the last few months but everything seems harder with all the triband confusions. Im a boost mobile customer and I dont want the sprint version. I want to keep my correct baseband OH1. OH1 IS THE LATEST updated BASEBAND for this triband boost mobile phone correct? All ideals, comments and help is appreciated. I still have my hotspot working flawlessly if you follow my HOTSPOT 4.4.2 NF4 guide even thonim on the OH1 now and it still works the same way. Thank you

hard bricked sph-l710t

would you possibly know where i can find the image files to make a bootable sdcard for my triband? no, i haven't looked had yet. i had for a l710 but then the company called and told me to bring it in and they would give me another refurb. i was so close that i really had to think hard about taking it in. i havent had time to read up on the triband.so ill be upfront about that i dont want tomake anyone angry.

bricked into a jail

hey hilla, you may not be glad to see my name come up but im sure glad to see yours. i've slowed the coffee some.hehe you have sent me some fantastic links. thank you.

i can't even get into download on this phone but its bricked. i know that it also charges. that's it. im just letting you know because i haven't seen anything that easy to unbrick a very hard bricked phone. but im going there. you sent me to a zip file, self extracting for my sph-l710 but i could boot that recover. odin won't touch this phone. if you're there. id love to chat because i had serious image writing issues with win, what winwrite or something. however i think i figured out the problem on that just as assist wireless called and said they have new refurbs.

i didnt want to take my phone, no kidding, i wanted to fix it but i needed a phone. i was so close to getting my image to write i had to be sure. i read a lot of post on a lot of sites that were having the same problem. i got it figured if you want to know ill tell ya what it is but that zip you sent says image so i think you have more than a handle on my problem thank you, i'll let you know. thanks again.

i fought for 3 weeks because i knew there had to be a fix for my two bricked phones. then i happened to look on youtube ad i saw a jig so i knew someone had written something for it. then i tried writing to a sd card but i was doing something wrong with the application. the you give me something that fixed it in 5 minutes. you and hokage are flippen something else.thank you.

ya i got it bro.its running liquid smooth very well. as a sph-l710.i tried odin to go recovery "off" the sdcard but it didnt work. i wondered if it was rooted and i had already checked dev tools and what version kk it was and i found it wasn't running as it should. as a triband.imagine my surprise. that's when i realized i was probably stuck with the sd. its rooted its got twrp loaded. can i take it back to triband now. i have no cell service either but, i didnt in the first place. that is part of what started all this crap.liquid smooth to me is great but i run nova now and the only thing i miss is that app wheel and just a couple other things.so whadda ya think?

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------

ah man, im sorry, i just saw this email.i will do that if youll be a little more specific. i had all this stuff on the sdcard didnt i? i was wondering how you got all those apps that i liked on the. su, gapps all liquid, all kinds of stuff. i put the whole phone back together with liquid and gapp 4.4 and i've done some setup. google did its thing its a pretty nice phone but, not a triband. haha where can i get that help page?wait its the 17th topic. ill get back to you thanks. damn, it was so easy. thank you.

triband

Hey guys, I'm having problems with these messages and i just sent a long reply to your thinking i had posted on the wrong thread. The phone is a tri band. I posted on the right thread. Ive got an sph-l710t running as a sph-l710. And running very well i might add. So what do you want me to do? Also l didn't install liquid. It was on there when i booted it. I have to go for awhile. each time i boot more system stuff shows up. Sprint and the bars showed up on the last boot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hilla_killa:
What did you need debrick zip your phones not bricked if your running i dont know maybe someone else can help you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pgellen:
Hilla, yes i need you or hokage. I think im talking to much and what im saying is getting lost in the text.

Ok first, i have a triband that was bricked very hard as i left twrp after flashing super user.

Because a second one had done the exact same thing i figured that something was going on.

After searching and reading i finally found a utube video about making a jig so i knew someone had done it softwarewise. Thats when i came to you.

Everything we did was correct. I have a sph-l710t.

I took what you gave me and copied it to a sdcard but thought it strange when it booted into liquid smooth. But i was flippen happy hilla. After all that searching i had fixed it.

I was building it and working it i realized my triband was running as a sph-l710. I dont know why because i checked the debrick image however i rwalized i had all these zip files already on the sd card from another phonne that i wa working on.

So thats it, i tried to stock flash the fike you guys gave me long ago but once again i cant access that phone with odin for anything but twrp. I can flash that recover fike that hokage gave me that has the built in odin and its a self extracting exe.

Im kindo baffled. Im foing to take it down to the image and try again buy id like your input on this.

It is definatly a triband running as a sph -l710
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hilla_killa:
My img didnt give you liquidsmooth ive neverr used it so idk where u r gettin that. Your supposed to use what i gave u to boit into download mode from sd card so you can odin your restore tar. Odin is only used tvo flash a recovery. I dont know what your trying to flash. Exe files r windows odin will not see your device unless your in dl mode recovery and dl mode are 2 very different things why are you posting the same thing in multiple threads asking for files on 3/31 i gave u files u asked for.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pgellen:
hilla, i know it wasnt your image that did that. i had stored liquid and gome gapps ans superuser and twrp on that sdcard and i grabbed the wrong card. i also had a backup from titanium backup on the card.

i dont know why we cant get on the same page here. your image is pure. why liquid ended up booting through all that i dont know but i know this, before you gave me that image my phone was dead. after i did as you instructed it booted great. why it picked up liquid i dont know but i dont care either.

liquid is the rom i would rather see developed over any of them.i really like it,,,however,,

the phone is working great hilla. i can do anything i want with it. it is running as a sph-l710 off the sdcard but the system recovery recognizes it as a triband. i personally think its not a big deal because its running off the sd card versus the phone. i just want to keep learning and figure out how to put it back normal. i was never blaming anyone other than myself for picking that card. certainly not you. hilla you have given me more good stuff than anyone other than hokage.

i haven't used odin for anything other than twrp on this phone. i never could do anything with odin on this triband. still cant.

please stop thinking that im blaming anyone. i can can easily see how it could be working from the sdcard.its the same system as a sph-l710. it doesn't have cell service but i lost that when the store sold it to me as a l710 when it was actually a triband. the minute i tried treating it as a l710 i lost all cell and sound service. i haven't checked the sound but i know i don't have cell service.

so from whatever we do from here ill format a sd card. would you please help me get started on making this work from the phone or will that never happen again?
