[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M8_HKE:
Hey all...

so i was a bit too hasty in wanting the GPE lollipop with OTA rom on my phone and i neglected to pay attention to the damage i'd be doing when changing my MID from 0P6B70000 (sprint m8 HKE) to 0P6B17000 (GPE). Needless to say i was following the GSM instructions and not CDMA so when i changed my MID no other rom would work on my sprint HKE m8.

what i need is a way either through adb or fastboot or twrp recovery to change my MID back to 0P6B70000. i've searched for a week now on how to get this done but to no avail.

so now i humbly beg you rockstars to take pity on this noob and save me from my idiocy. :angel::crying:

Hello,

I really really want to root my GT-I9507, asap, have been looking through this site alot recently and the simplest (for a noob) way seems to be 'CF-Auto-Root'.

The problem I am having and not being able to solve is how do I unlock the bootloader?

As chainfire says it can brick my phone if locked and it would appear that it almost certainly is, but I cant find a way to unlock the GT-I9507. I can see that some people must have as they have used the 'CF-Auto-Root' method.

Any ideas, or if someone can point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

I got a response on a different page from a person who had rooted their GT-I9507 phone, they said:

I managed to root it mate, flashed latest optus 4.4.2, then flashed Philz recovery, then flashed CF autoroot ( the new version dedicated specifically for i9507 which you may find on cf autoroot website . )

Use This CF AutoRoot; ( This one is for Android 4.4.2 )

http://download.chainfire.eu/503/CF-...zh-gti9507.zip

Check all versions here;

http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/

If you want custom recovery, use PhilZ ( The same as for I9505 ).

Good Luck.

But as I am very worried about bricking my phone, and as chainfire does specifically say it can brick your phone if the bootloader isn't unlocked , can some one help me to understand why this method works?

I really want to do it, but am very scared :)

Cheers,

I am beginning to feel a little crazy as I think I am talking to myself!!

On a different forum, some one has just suggest that in Australia the S4 probably doesn't have it bootloader locked!

Can any one confirm this? Or help me to find out if my bootloader is locked? I have also looked for ways to do this but haven't (I believe) found anything relevant.

Cheers in advance

So Just to finish this post off,

I have just made the plunge and rooted my phone.

So I used the Chainfire-autoroot method as stated above, and it all worked fine.

I have some issues trying to get odin to see my phone, whihc were rectified by going to samsung for the drivers.

So for anyone who is wondering, Optus have not (at least by 27/1/15) not locked their bootloaders on the GT-I9507.

I hope that this might eventually help someone, and I'm not just talking to my self!

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnequickiii:
I had made a backup, which didn't work, and flashed a file that messed me up a little. Tried restoring the backup and effectively made it so the only things accessible are twrp recovery and the bootloader.

Is there any way I can copy the contents of the internal sd to the computer this way?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
It should mount the phone on the PC so that you can copy to and from with the PC.

Could pull it with adb pull /path_to_file/folder /path_to_pc_directory

It would have been much easier to use the dd command to copy over the entire partition for data but it's Read-Only. I'm not entirely sure how to copy it entirely over, if it was that easy I suppose anyone could do it and it would be a security flaw for private data...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jball:
Put a micro sdcard in and just create a regular backup even if you don't have an OS so It creates the directory on the sdcard ,than grab a backup zip and extract it to the

backup/******* (stars represent the letter and numbers once you open the backup folder) so you can restore it.boot it up and go through with the setup and you should gain access to internal memory.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] W00fah:
Whelp today I made a phone call on my turbo, and while on the call pressed the speaker phone button and it didn't work. Didn't think much of it at that moment. Then later did a hangouts call with a friend, and still the speaker phone didn't work. Tried using my ear-buds and they didn't work either. My other pair didn't work as well. Also turning down the volume didn't work for some odd reason. Finally i ended up restarting the phone and everything seemed to be fine again. Anyone have any idea what could have caused this. Anyone else have these issues happen?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] wadamean:
It happens when you takeout the headphones slowly or something and the software or hardware thinks they are still inserted hence why speaker doesn't work. Has happened to me twice. It's not a big deal and a restart works fine back to normal.

i was just curious because the developer hasnt updated the verizon version since May 2014, and recently just updated the tmobile version in december. I understand that on the Tmobile hyperdrive page it says that its only compatible with Tmobile, international, and canadian. I only ask because all of the links to the rom pages from my phone (from the about phone, hyperdrive settings, etc) link to the tmobile page instead of the verizon. If not, any recomendations to newer roms for the verizon note 3 would be greatly appreciated

Is there any software difference between att and tmo versions. I plane to get one and use it on tmo network. Is that cost effective to get att version for full price, pay for unlock service and use it on tmobile or buy one straight from tmo?
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Sorry it took so long, but VERY minor differences. Icons and little things like that. Software updates show up faster on Tmo vs ATT and if you are looking to root...well go for the Tmobile version. Also, technically when you buy a device at full cost, they have to give you the unlock code. But it all depends what provider you are going to use it with.

If both have root why go with T-mobile I see the at&t version can be rooted as well just asking because around me they are in Stock at at&t and not t-mobile

Hello. I got my unlock code from Cingular yesterday and I unlocked the phone with no hassels on the 1st try(Verified by putting a O2 sim from the UK in).

After restarting, and reconnecting the phone, it decided to load new drivers.

is for other things?

Using the new lollipop color codes, I've created custom "lollipop green" (#97ce08), "lollipop blue" (#4e4cb0), "lollipop dark blue" (#00004b), and "lollipop inverted" CM12 bootanimations for 1200x1920 resolution screens (ie; v500). The bootanimations are packaged into recovery flashable zip files and will install the bootanimation to /system/media/.

In CM11, we were able to copy the bootanimation.zip to /data/local/, but this is not working at the moment in CM12. Therefore, that is why I've made an installer to place the file in /system/media/bootanimation.zip and include a backup script in addon.d so that the bootanimation is restored upon system updates.

Note: if you want to go back to the original boot animation, remove the new boot animation backup script (/system/addon.d/90-bootanimation.sh) and flash your Rom again. No wiping necessary.

Hi,

Should I root my nexus 5?

I still have a year warranty so...

Which kernel should I flash then : Franco Kernel, or Code Blue Kernel?

I am running lollipop 5.0.1 stock right now. Screen on 1/4 brightness, no location and WiFi turned off when I don't use it. Know I am getting around 12h battery life with 2-3h screen on time, would one of the kernels help with battery life? And how much? Will it be worth to void my guarantee for it?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Questions belong in Q&A.

"Best" ROM.

There is no such thing as a best ROM. The question itself is ambiguous. "Best" is obviously a subjective term.

What I want from a ROM may well differ from what you want from a ROM, ergo - what is best for me could be worst for you.

If you are asking what the most popular ROMs are, or which ROMs people are using, you can see which threads stay around on the first few pages (and have the most posts) in the Android Development or Original Android Development forums. You can also see what other people are running by reading the What are you running on your Nexus 5 thread.

If you are asking which is the most stable, being a Nexus device - they're all pretty stable.

If you are asking which is best on Battery, ROMs only affect battery if they have a feature that is badly coded. You will likely be able to read about this in the ROM threads. ROMs do not impact battery life. The only impact to battery life are your apps, your settings, how you use the phone and mostly, environmental issues such as Phone Signal.

For tips about improving battery life, please read [Battery Life Help] Troubleshoot battery issues here!

"Best" Kernel

Also, please note that as above, "best" is still subjective. What we all want from a kernel is different. Again, many people have the misconception that Kernels affect battery life. Let's get this cleared up. Although Kernel devs will build in optimisations and efficiencies that will improve battery life, these are very, VERY tiny...and if 1 kernel has these optimisations, they likely all have.

People will often say "Kernel x is better than kernel y for battery life". This is actually wrong. Kernels respond to user settings. Setting up the governor to favour either battery life or performance is simple enough to do, you just have to do some learning. The reason people think Kernel x is better than y is because developers set their kernels up with their preferred governor settings. This is what we refer to as out-of-the-box settings. The out-of-the-box settings for kernel x may well produce better battery results than the out-of-the-box settings for kernel y, which favour performance. The fact is, you as the user have the ability to tune kernel x or y to perform the same, be that battery or performance - so start learning how to do this yourselves - that way, you can choose the kernel based on the FEATURES you want, and not the fictional performance benefits of one kernel over another.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tr3bIx:
Hi!

Thanks for taking your time and your explanation mate, you really helped me out! Think I am gonna see for Franco kernel, cause there are more users and more tweaking options to fit my wills.
