[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daswunderkid:
Recently tried a few things on my Razr HD. Phone is unlocked, recovery partition is buggered. Tried to downgrade firmware to correct issues, now phone boots into fastboot on every power up. It mentions firmware flash failed in the fast boot screen. Phone is still on 4.4.2, unfortunately finding this firmware to reflash the phone is proving impossible.

Anyone have this available for download? 181.46.3.XT925.RCI.en.CA

Thank you.

[Samsung Gear S] 2lip:
I've just read a huge amount of posts on the Gear S and carrier services.

I use my Note 3 (and just got a Note 4) - on Straight Talk.

I called ST today to ask about a cell plan for the Gear S - long story short, I spoke to 2 guys who 'knew nothing about it'...in fact, the 2nd guy hung up on me. So much for ST.

So I keep hearing about $10.00 plans, etc. - but I can't seem to find one. I know nothing about 'pay as you go' just ST. and customer service the past 2 years I've had them has been miserable for me.

I have a Gear S that I bought unlocked. So, anyone want to clue me in on where to get cell service for this that doesn't cost the equivalent of a full cell phone/data plan?

Thanks, and I appreciate any help, advice, tips, etc. you can give me. Sorry for seeming confused. I am.:p

thanks,

2lip

The only way to get a cheaper device plan is to go with the big-four using a shared plan. Otherwise, you will have to pay just like another smart phone using voice, SMS and data.
[Samsung Gear S] edouble312:
I took my unlocked Gear S to T-mobile, was not a customer with any type of shared plan. I use AT&T on my Note 4 and bought the Gear S from them, then had them unlock it free of charge (took two days and some complaining). I have a grandfathered unlimited AT&T plan and I'm not switching to a shared plan just to add the watch.

at the T-mobile store I signed up for the $15/month 500mb data and unlimited talk/text smartwatch plan. This did require a credit check since it was post-paid, the only caveat I guess. $10 fee for the sim card and activation.

Even better- The rep was fairly sure that with a nano to microsim adapter, I could use this T-mobile plan in any device (phone, tablet, etc...). $15/month is dirt cheap. Can be bumped to 1gb data for another $5 ($20 total). T-mobile doesn't work quite as well as AT&T, but wow that's a sweet deal.

Now, if you have T-mobile service... they'll give you a $10 discount on the smartwatch plan. I think I may cancel my plan after this month, and have a friend who's a T-mobile customer add the line to their account. I'll give them like $80 for the year. Sounds pretty solid.

My other option was a pay-as-you-go H2O nano-sim. I think their cheapest plan is $25/month, but you can do pay-as-you-go plans- something that might be sufficient for the watch.

Those are pretty much the best two options right now, unless someone else has a better idea. There has been some question as to whether the forwarding will always work correctly going between two different carriers. Time will tell on that.
[Samsung Gear S] CehowardNote3:
I am with Tmobile, and I love it. I only pay $5 a month for unlimited talk/text and 500mb data on my Gear S. Also, don't know if this is exclusive of Tmobile, but my Gear S be pumping 4G!!!

Oh boy!!:D
[Samsung Gear S] foxbat121:
M Gear S says 5G so you lose :)
[Samsung Gear S] xendula:
Agreed: the T-mo plan is the cheapest out there for the watch. It's $5/month for existing customers, or $15/month for non Tmo customers. The plan is called "wearables plan", and I could not find it on their site, guess you'll have to call them and ask for it.

If interested, it is also possible to add unlimited international calling to the wearables plan. It is usually $10/month, but they are running a promo that makes it only $5/month. It gives you unlimited talk (to landlines) and text to a bunch of countries, and you will be grandfathered into the $5/month deal as long as you remain a customer with them even after it goes back up to 10/month.

Oh, and for Tmo, "plan" does not imply any kind of contract: you can cancel whenever you please, so it's not much of a risk to just try it out and see if it's for you.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] vladashram:
I've had my Nexus 6 for a week and a half and I love it, especially the always listening Google Now(Once enabled in the Google Now settings of course). Now does anybody here have both a Nexus 6 and a Moto Hint?

I've been thinking about getting a Moto Hint mostly for the always listening in your ear feature, but does that feature only work with the Moto X or would it work with the Nexus 6 too?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] maconsultant:
I'm curious about this as well. Unfortunately I think it is only supported on the moto x. But I'd love to hear other wise.

Sent from another Nexus..

5...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jappchae:
The Nexus 6 doesn't work with the moto voice feature on the Hint. I currently have both, and the Hint only works as a normal Bluetooth earpiece.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bwheelies:
Any updates here? I just ordered a Hint but if the feature of Google Now doesn't work I don't see the point.

I read that there were updates to the Hint software that fixed a lot of issues including sound.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] joshm.1219:
No, the always-on voice feature comes from Motorola's proprietary Moto Voice software on their phones, the Nexus doesn't have Moto apps.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bwheelies:
Got the Hint and updated the q&a thread.

Google Now works by voice. Just tap the hint with your finger and Now listens for the commands.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jappchae:
There is a specific difference to point out between Google Now and Moto Voice, as the original thread post was likely asking about the always-listening-in-ear factor of Moto Voice. The Moto Hint works with the Nexus 6 in the same way that most Bluetooth devices will work with the Nexus 6 - tap the button on the Bluetooth device and then Google Now handles your voice prompt/command. That works fine on the Moto Hint paired with a Nexus 6, just like other Bluetooth devices. Moto Voice is actually different when the Moto Hint is used with a Moto X or other MotoVoice-compatible Moto phone - with Moto Voice active, the pair would always listen for voice commands constantly from the user without ever needing to press the Bluetooth device button, and additionally there are specific Moto-only commands included too, such as music playback commands and the like. Also, when notifications come in with Moto Voice active, the Moto Hint will read them aloud to the user. These specific Moto Voice features don't work with the Moto Hint when paired with the Nexus 6 at this point. I wish they did, but I still find good functionality with the Hint/GoogleNow combo regardless.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bwheelies:
I have Google Now 'Always Listening' active and I do not have to touch the Hint to get google now/voice actions working.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jappchae:
Yes, I also have 'Always Listening' Google Now active too, but the handset needs to be close enough to clearly hear me say "Ok Google". This doesn't work as reliably when the Nexus 6 handset is actually in my pocket or across a noisy room - the "Ok Google" hotword won't reliably work in those scenarios because the phone microphone has to first pick up the "Ok Google" sound, and then the Hint will kick in and take the Google Now voice command over Bluetooth after that "Ok Google" activation. It is a bit different.

I hope any of this info helps those Nexus 6 users who are considering the Hint. Appreciate everyone who contributes to xda.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bwheelies:
Gotcha. It does seem hit or miss as to picking up the launch phrase. That means the always listening feature can be shut off to improve battery life on the Hint unit(not with phone).
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jappchae:
You are so right, that's really important advice to improve Hint battery life. In my experience the standby difference is many, many hours. Nice post.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bwheelies:
Anybody have issues with Hint coming unpaired with their phone?

Happens sometimes, even with fresh battery.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] FallN:
No, I haven't had the problem. I've used my Hint with my Moto X² and, now, my Nexus 6. Neither have had that issue.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bwheelies:
Wonder what the issue is for mine?

No custom ROM has been flashed to my hint.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donoboy97:
First: Yes i've tried Odin flashing stock rom, recovery and all the other things!

So from the beginning:

My phone unlocked itself in my pocket and some weird things happend (i don't know what).

When I took it out it said that my sd-card could be safely removed

Then it said it was coruppted (I checked it on my laptop and it wasn't)

Then it started to reboot, and suddenly got stuck in bootloop!

When I pulled out the battery and put that in again. it booted black screen with text in the left uppercorner with some things about not being able to boot because there's no XXXX partition and some other things I cant remember.

So I thought, let's try and flash stock rom on it, and did that. Flash failed with error (size) or something.

Then I thought, let's reboot into recovery (How dumb that I haven't thought of that before) When I tried it it just bootlooped trying to get into recovery everytime.

Flashed new recovery, Still the same problem.

Flashed stock rom of another country, It worked but after odin finished and rebooted my phone it tries to boot itself into recovery (bootloop)

So nothing worked...

Download mode says this:

Current binary: Samsung official

system status: custom

Reactivation lock(kk): off

knox warranty void 0x1 (4)

qualcomm secureboot: ENABLE (CSB)

rp swrev: s1, t1, r1, a1, p1

udc start

I really don't know what to do, can you guys please help me?

Thanks in advance.

Try to repartition your S5 with a pit file in Odin, maybe the filesystem is corrupt.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52329647&postcount=2

Download the pit fole for a G900F, load it as PIT in Odin, tick "Re-Partition", and start.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donoboy97:
Must it be pit only? I tried pit file together with stock ROM but that didn't work
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v3rtex:
I would try it step by step, so pit only first.

Is there any error message in odin?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donoboy97:
Flashed pit file, succesfull. No errors. Phone still stuck in bootloop
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v3rtex:
Try to flash pit file with your pda stock firmware, check repartition, and uncheck Auto reboot.

Start, wait until it says pass, unplug your phone, remove your battery, wait a minute or so, put it back in, and try to boot into recovery with vol up/home/power.

Important is, try to wipe your cache and do a factory reset then.

This time I got a fail.. [MENTION=499687]hidden[/MENTION].img.ext4 "FAIL (size)"

F. Reset Time was checked but that shouldn't do anything right
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v3rtex:
Have you tried the same with your recovery file?

If that fails again, the only idea i have at least is to check "nand erase all" checkbox in odin while flashing stock fw or recovery, try with and without pit and "re-partition", and without "autoreboot"

In some situations this fixed bootloops and steck bootloader issues.

At least you have nothing to loose...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donoboy97:
Recovery + pit works, pulled out the battery, waited a minute or so. Booted in recovery, get's the blue message.. and then bootloops again...

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elliwigy:
when u say boots to recovery and bootloops, what do you mean exactly? like goes to recovery and immediately reboots?

can you screenshot exact error of odin when you use the pit and stock tar? also, i assume you have usb drivers and the right odin installed? try different usb ports/cables?

if it boots at all then its not a hard brick so there is still hope
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donoboy97:
it goes to recovery for 5 secs and then reboots, exact error is when it's flashing "hidden.img.ext4" and then it says "FAIL! (size)" Yes I have USB drivers and I'm using Odin v3.10 but I just checked on some threads, and they all say v3.09 soo.. could that be the problem?

I also tried different ports and cables but i'm mainly using the official cable!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elliwigy:
try odin 3.09 and report back.. i know its wonky sometimes with certain odin versions.. normally there is a hidden.img.ext4 in the tar file.. have you tried other odin tars? different or older odin tars? it almost seems like something wrong with the tar file or odin version

[HTC One Mini 2] plodozhor:
Hello,

I want to remove Vodafone's boot animation but don't want to root my device. To do that, I must either edit /system/customize/CID/VODAP**.xml or push proper VF_bootanimation.zip into /system/customize/resource. I am not able to do it neither from adb nor from adb shell - there is read-only warning or "permission denied".

Is there a way I can access this XML file, like:

a) registering on HTCDev as a developer

b) mount phone internal memory (/dev/block/mmcblk0p43) to a PC as a mounted drive while phone is switched off and then change its content (is this called 'fastboot'?)

BR

Plodozhor
[HTC One Mini 2] :
I think you need S-OFF to edit system files. At the moment not possible
[HTC One Mini 2] csoulr666:
You will have to flash a custom kernel on your phone that removes the write protection. So only unlocking the bootloader and flashing the kernel is sufficient. If you haven't unlocked you bootloader yet, backup all the data from the internal memory because it gets wiped
[HTC One Mini 2] plodozhor:
Thanks for answers everybody. I am little bit afraid of flashing foreign ROM because it replaces phone's existing ROM and warranty might be void. What I want to do is to keep the existing ROM, and alter one XML file in the customize folder.

I would like to rather have a scenario of mounting the phone memory as 'external removable drive' to some other system. For example, couple of years ago I played around with my home router - I was able to mount my home router's memory to PC running Linux and change some tweaks in the resulting /mount directory. Can I do something similar with mini 2? What is fastboot tool from ADB suite?

Maybe there is another, easier way for eradicating ad bootanimation? Currently I see 3 options: change CID so VODAP102.xml is not triggered; post fixed VF_bootanimation.zip; or change VODAR102.xml.

I am a programmer, however I never worked with writing apps for Android. Is there a way HTCDev-enabled developer can access /customize folder? Like remounting /mmcblk0p43 with RW permission etc.

Thanks in advance and sorry for 'noobism' :)
[HTC One Mini 2] csoulr666:
I'm not talking about flash a rom, but only just a kernel. Flash the Liberty Sense kernel and then got can customise the boot animation
[HTC One Mini 2] plodozhor:
Will I be able to flash original kernel back?

Also, the phone will lose warranty?
[HTC One Mini 2] csoulr666:
If you make a backup of your rom via a custom recovery, then yes. And unfortunately unlocking the bootloader and flashing a custom kernel will void the warranty
