Not realy bricked because id still be on Xperia S :D

It will either fail verifacation or it will work

Only when your /system is modified it will fail verifacation

It will show you a update most of the time

hey All !

Its my first post in this forum. I am an student of electrical Engineering in Germany. I just got an XDA neo(WM 5) with my O2 connnection but its all in german. Is there any way to convert it into english or I have to upgrade the ROM. I am new in this PDA world but being an engineering major i would like to delve into technicalities and contributing (later on). Kindly guide me.

Welcome. Start reading wikis and threads. Too many newbies posting questions that are answered 1000th time... READ stickies. READ topics with pages and pages long. Takes a while to read and understand, dont rush into things. do some research. There are risks, take them when you feel comfortible.

Short answer to your question is YES you can get English roms for your device.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] rondol1:
To be specific...

The statement above is definitely right, but the answer doesn't match the question....

To be specific: No, you can't change the language without flashing the ROM.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] mobilink999:
the FAQ says that in order to backup ROM I should have an Unlocked CID. First of all how to check my CID is locked or not? If my CID is locked can I still backup my ROM.I have a G4.

ipl 2.15.0001

spl 2.15.0001

gsm 02.19.21

os 2.15.4.29

rom version 2.15.4.29 GER
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] kenxu:
Use the roms with NoVender ID checks just to be safe. You can always try a country specific rom and see if you get the error (something like not intended for this device type error). Not a big deal, as long as you stay with G4 roms and make sure you follow each rom's instruction carefully.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] tyfoonsurfer:
Hi all,

And yet another noob question...

The problem of being this ignorant, is that it is also hard to ask a good question. So I'll have to tell the story in full...

I started to use custom ROMs only one month ago. I installed and configured CWM 6.0.4.5, and through ADB PUSH to /sdcard/ I put the files for CyanogenMod 11 "cm11.zip" and "cm11_gapps.zip" into my phone. I was able to install this ROM, so no issues there.

After some time of playing around, I felt that some bugs in the ROM were unacceptable to me. I also got errors that stated that my memory was full, although, when I looked into ES file explorer or even the standard 'Storage" tool in android, my phone appeared far from full (+5 Gb free!). To me, that was the drop to remove this ROM (althoug I already found out that it was not the ROM's fault...).

So I installed another ROM, CM10.1.3. Again, I ADB pushed the files "cm1013.zip" and "cm1013_gapps.zip" to /sdcard/ , rebooted into recovery. There I did the following:

- install zip

- choose zip from /sdcard

At this point, I thought I would find my files "cm1013.zip" and "cm1013_gapps.zip", but I didn't! Instead, I did find the previous files "cm11.zip" and "cm11_gapps.zip"!

However, I did see a folder "0/", so when going into that one, I did find my files... So I continued the installation of my ROM, no issues.

But now, when I use ES File Explorer, I can't find these "cm11.zip" and "cm11_gapps.zip" anywhere! It seems like once I'm in my ROM, I can't access a complete part of my memory.

This means I lost a big chunck of my internal memory!

What did I do wrong, and more important, how can I resolve??

I tried my best to search this forum, but all I came up with was this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2304138

Interesting, but not a solution to me, as I'm unable to even find the files in the first place.

All help much appreciated, and sorry for the (too) long explanation.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] tyfoonsurfer:
By the way, when installing my second ROM "CM10.1.3", I used every "wipe" option in the recovery mode I could find:

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

wipe dalvik

I thought that was the cleanest I could get...

When wandering through ES file Explorer, I always end up at the same location for sdcard... There are so many ways to get to my memory. I understand the principle of symlinks, but I don't understand the meaning of "emulated".

All of these paths, end up on the same location:

/mnt/sdcard

/sdcard

/storage/sdcard0

/storage/emulated/0

/storage/emulated/legacy

What is the "emulated" locations for?? But the files I'm looking for "cm11.zip", can't find it anywhere (see post above)...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] tyfoonsurfer:
after looking for some more, I finally found the files I was looking for. They were stored under /data/media/

So, when booting into recovery mode with CWM, and choosing "Install zip", this is the folder you look into.

I'm still puzzled by the fact that while doing ADB push to send files it ended up under 2 different locations while running another ROM...

Hi All, this is my first post so sorry if etquette or sthg is wrong :)

I have been able to connect my OPO to my computer and open diagnostic port and see it as a modem (COM11).

Unfortunately I am Unable to restore QCN file with QPST Software Download application.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slugger09:
Hardware is fantastic, its let down by software. I will be honest on 4.4.2 performance wasn't that special either. I came from a Moto G, a phone with 1GB ram and 1.2 Quadcore CPU and performance wise it beats the S5. I upgraded to lollipop and well things have just got worse. For instance pressing the gallery takes 3+ seconds to open, same with making a call, and quite often when I hit the home button it redraws which indicates RAM is getting used up and needs free'd.

If you came from something like an S3 I'm sure this phone would seem like lightening, but coming from a stock android experience it is slow.

The question is how do I fix this? I did factoy reset after lollipop update which helps a bit but it soon bogs down again, an issue with 5.0 apparently. I have tried Nova which helps a bit but underneath its still running TW which I thinks the problem.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terrorblade23:
1)Use xtrestolite rom (free bloatware, u install only what u want..)

This is the most important thing I can suggest to you .. And flash rom fresh (I mean.. Wipe clean.. Etc)

2)if u want u can restart your phone once a day... IT will run a lot better after restart...

3)use performance governor cpu

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MewCore:
As mentioned above, nstall xtrestolite 4.4.2 if you want lag free, bloat free, optimized TW experience. You will get better battery, 0 lag and slowdown. It's simply butter smooth.

Don't go to TW lolipop because it's just not ready yet.

If you want to go an extra mile try CM12 based L roms like Temasek's or BlissPop variant. Pair it with ktoonsez kernel and you will practicaly have a new device.

Issue with Gapps installation

First of all, thanks for keeping the Desire alive with this Lollipop ROM. Followed your instructions and installed the ROM and SU & Gapps.

After Gapps installation, I only see the Play Store listed but none of the other apps are listed. Am i missing something in the way it needs to be installed?

Here is a second query.

Is it possible for me to go back to my earlier JB ROMs with the current partition setup? or should i reformat the SD Card?

1. Install the drivers from the Android-SDK

2. In Windows, place recovery.img (4ext 1.0.0.5 R9 or twrp 2.3.1.1 ) in the same directory where you have the files adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, fastboot.exe

3. Connect Bravo in fastboot mode

4. In the catalog Ad.2., Run

fastboot flash recovery .\recovery.img
