[G4] Cavey.co.uk:
Having installed the .cab files from utils and repeated the reboot, reboot another etc... time and again, I finally got it to "work", only it returned garbage (like a SIM unlock code consisting of non-ascii characters). I was about to curse when I notice that the SIM lock status was all 0's... so I tried it with a T-Mobile sim and it worked.

Why do I find it unsurprising that I am the only person around here who is annoyed to find his phone is NOT locked? (Having wasted 5 hours buggering about with it....)

Why is this? Could it be because I didn't put the SIM in it when I first booted it? (I wanted to play first). Or is it just odd? Either way, pah!

it doesnt work on my phone, can u explain step by step for dummies like me how to do it? please

[G4] rpina1:
I know this is an old post, but it was relevant in my search for unlocking a G4.

Anyway, I wanted to report that lokiwiz 03 did unlock my MDA which is G4 (I believe)

It had the .001 rom in it. I did the hard spl, then uploaded an XDA WM6 rom, and finally ran the 03 lokiwiz against better advise on the forum.

Keep in mind that I did this on a phone that was not my primary phone, just in case there was a problem.

YMMV

Great site, I have done a touchflo/unlock on 8125 and a iphone/unlock on the mda with the great information from this site, as a total newbie.
[G4] intheloft:
I cant get this to work :(

Phone:

T-Mobile MDA Vario (HTC Wizard) G4

WM6 rom

I get the 8 digit code and enter it but a few seconds later it pops up again.

Does it have something to do with the WM6 rom ? and is there ANY other way to unlock this phone ?

Lg g2 D802 32GB

Got my phone bricked once when trying to install lollipop rom.

After successfuly restoring it and getting the 16GB error and fixing it I restored to stock 4.2.2 and in recovery accidently installed the KK bootloader and rebooted instead of installing the rom.

No download mode.

No recovery.

First phone booted and then the screen turned off and was only sounds (Booting in, connecting to pc, etc.)

Now nothing.

the only thing I managed to enter is the Hard button mode....

I tried every forum,thread,files,method mentioned exept the "Open the phone to pieces and tinker with it" method mentioned here somewhere.

If there is some hope for me before going to a repair shop and hopefully someone there smarter than me and can actually fix it... would really appreceate every advice you might have on the matter.

Thank you.

I here by declare the LG g2 D802 32GB UNbrickable

What I did to fix it.

Some of it I dont understand...

My specs:

Windows 8.1 64 bit

Ubuntu 64bit on Vmware

lg g2 drivers(mixed, I had pdanet drivers, adb drivers so not sure which)

What i did:

1- adb devices on windows

Seen what I have in the picture

adb reboot recovery/bootloader/reboot/fastboot

Until I saw some writings and phone entered this state:

Using this files:

(because its a 32GB variant) in ubuntu I did the instructions

then unplugged phone

Fully power off

Hold volume up button

Stay calm buddy, LG G2 is unbrickable, I had the same problem, I thought that I have bricked it, but fix was simple, I had only download mode, but KDZ restore stucked, what I did was just wait some time, cause LG flash tool has some problems with loading files, it just takes some time, so load it from your folder(kdz) , then wait some time and after that just start it, then you have to be patient cause it takes some time, I experienced some errors too, so just dont unplug it and wait, relax, it works :)

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
After my disastrous experience with Seidio I'm thinking to order the Otterbox Defender and the ProClip car mount (designed specifically for the Defender case) I'm thinking about is available with or without a built in male mini USB for charging. I already have an Incipio Quick Charge 2.0 12v car charger the 12v accessory outlet USB plugin which I could use with the USB end of the ProClip cable.

Trying to think this through I'm wondering if anybody sees a distinct advantage or disadvantage to having the built in mini USB on the phone cradle.

For the way I normally use my phone in the car I don't usually run the battery down to the point charging is necessary although I do charge it. My vehicle's 12v accessory outlet is located on the passenger side of my console low to the floor (terrible location) so I can't unplug the charger while driving unless I was at a stoplight or pulled over. With the built in mini USB the only way to disconnect it is either take the phone out of the cradle which I wouldn't do while driving or disconnect the USB/12v accessory plug (or pull the USB cable out of the plug).

My inclination is to go with a cradle without a mini USB however if someone posts a benefit I haven't thought of to having the mini USB it also makes the aluminum CraigsDock carmount which is only available with a mini USB charging plug a possibility and I like that mount too.

Any thoughts on the subject greatly appreciated!!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] srltzz342:
It seems like you have it mostly covered. However, you stated that you don't really use your battery much while driving-- So i'm just wondering why you would go through all the hassle of trying to figure this out. for myself, personally, I plug in my car charger into the cigarette lighter, and just plug it into my phone before placing on my car mount. But that's just what I do, and is certainly not the only way it can be done. But from what it sounds like, you should be more than okay with your planned idea.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
Reason I'm asking for pros/cons on the mini USD built into the phone cradle is I prefer the Craigsdock which only comes with the mini USB. The Craigsdock is milled aluminum vs. the ProClip's plastic, it's universal so I could use it on different vehicles & phones and because its adhesive mounting plate is tiny compared to the ProClip vehicle specific dash mount it would look a lot nicer in my vehicle. The Craigsdock is most likely the last car mount I'd ever have to buy.

What I wasn't sure about is if the phone is left plugged in continually when it's fully charged whether that could cause damage and according to Craig @ Craigsdock it will not.

Below are the links to the two mounts:

http://proclipusa.net/instruction.php?sku=854540

I decided to go with the Craigsdock and will review it after I've had a chance to use it.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
Reason I'm getting the Craigsmount dock is it will place the phone exactly where I want in my vehicle. Screen will be about 3 inches away from my dash to the right of the steering wheel (not as far away from the dash as the steering wheel is but next to it). Also the Craigsmount will have a cable that keeps the native docking app continually activated. Now all I have to do is figure out how to make the phone's native docking app automatically trigger my Car Home Ultra app and I'm good to go.:)

Absolutely recommend this car mount. And it goes perfect if you have the otterbox defender too!

Never take off my defender when I'm outside, and now when I mount it on my windshield, I never have too.

Does anyone know where I can download Note Edge Firmware for the Verzion Note Edge?
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechBSwift:

For those of you who wants the firmware for any samsung device follow the steps below. I've tested it and it works every time

HOW TO EXTRACT FACTORY FIRMWARE WITH KIES (For Return To stock .tar.md5 For Use In Odin)

This is a guide for extracting the factory firmware for your samsung device using Kies Upgrade.

You may ask , I don't have a firmware upgrade.... (5.) Just follow the guide

1. Make sure your phone is plugged in...

2. Open this folder: OS C: / Users / Your name / AppData / Local / Temp

3. Your user profile’s temporary folder will open. Keep it opened, as we’re going to need to copy a file from this location in a little while.

4. Launch Kies and wait for the phone to connect.

5. You’ll see an offer to upgrade firmware of your phone – click on the firmware upgrade button. If no Upgrade click on Tool's / Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation or Firmware Upgrade setting's.

6. A few windows will pop up with questions about backup, etc – answer the questions, making sure to do a backup, and let it proceed. A window will pop up saying “preparing files”, and then a window will pop up again, showing the download progress.

7 Pay attention to the download progress. When it reaches 100%, your phone will enter “Downloading Mode” and begin flashing. YOU MUST FOLLOW THE NEXT STEP AS SOON AS THE FLASH STARTS.

8. During the flash procedure, go to your Temporary folder and refresh its contents. You will see a file called tmpXXXX.tmp (the XXXX’s will be random numbers). This .tmp file is the encrypted ROM archive – ignore it, and look for a new folder created with a similar name (or else sort by date and find the newest folder), and open that instead. Inside you will see a .tar file. Right-click on that file, choose copy and paste it to desktop Don’t try to move the file (using “cut”, or dragging the icon to your desktop) – just copy & paste.

9. Your phone should complete the flash successfully.

You need to copy the firmware file from your temporary folder within the period that your phone is being flashed, as it gets deleted immediately after flashing is complete. I would estimate that you have around 2 – 3 minutes to complete step 8. so you just need to be paying attention when the flash begins.

[T-Mobile LG G3] error666:
I'd like to ask for some opinions on the subject. Buying a new phone but I can't decide which one is better. LG or Samsung?

I don't really care about the design, both look ok to me.

Screen size difference is minimal and also not very important.

Buttons on the back- Is it ok?

This will be half business half personal phone so it must work and must have good radio. How's the signal? Connection speeds? Camera and music playback are somewhat important. As well as roaming capabilities. I can see that G3 is missing some of the LTE bands that S5 has. Any other issues or thoughts?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Still_living714:
If it's going to be half for work the get the s5 since it had better battery life
[T-Mobile LG G3] dakalter:
I would honestly wait till Sunday to see whats new with HTC and Samsung.
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
I love the g3 but honestly I miss that oled screen. Probably going to jump to the s6 if the exynos processor doesn't have to many app incompatibility.
[T-Mobile LG G3] dspcap:
I think they are both great phones... I have done a lot of comparisons with the G3 camera and the S5... In the exact same settings, the G3 camera hands down is better. The S5 can get to the same quality pictures, but only with a lot of manipulation. My sister had the S5, so we were duplicating pictures one day and night. So if Camera is something that matters, you might want to take that into consideration.
[T-Mobile LG G3] error666:
s6 did not come out yet, and honestly I don't see any point in paying a couple of hundred bucks more for it no matter what it is. OS will be just the same and hardware makes no difference at all. I won't notice any difference while reading email or looking at a map so one of these two is good enough.

My other phone is S4 and I've had it for almost 2 years and perfectly happy with it . I'll probably get at least another year out of it.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Mike_77:
My wife had the S5 and misses her S4. I prefer the G3 over the S5 because it feels more responsive.

Just test them both in the store and go with what feels right.. They're both good as far as I can tell.
[T-Mobile LG G3] docfreed:
I've had both...

and I am using the G3 now. The S5 had significantly better bluetooth capability (particularly has the aptx profile for streaming - LG falls short in that capability). I'm on T-Mobile and it seems that the G3 has a much better radio/antenna. Also, the S5 fingerprint scanner was terrible and required multiple swipes sometimes to unlock. And Touchwiz seems to have more bloat (relative since LG has lots too). You'd have to root to get the full potential of either one and get rid of unwanted crapware. The killer for me is the significantly better LG camera w/laser focus - it blows the Samsung camera away in speed of focus.

And if you're going to root, there is much more development activity with a Samsung phone than with LG although there are some good ROM's here.
[T-Mobile LG G3] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
I'm on the same boat as you.. lol.. I wish the g3 was a bit more bright. next to Amoled, it looks like im running 50% brightness.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GogoplataMMA:
Hey. After spending hours trying to discover a working method to root my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4, I've succeeded. Now, I want to try to install some sort of bootloader like TWRP or something so I can install a custom ROM. What do I install and HOW do I install a bootloader? I'm confused. I also want to install the the latest CyanogenMod for it. I think I can do that on my own after getting a bootloader installed on my phone, but what file am I supposed to be installing is the question. Thank you for any and all help. This is my first smartphone, so I'm trying to figure this out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] toaster22:
Right now the bootloader is still locked down for the Verizon (unless your phone is on the MDK bootloader). So unfortunately you won't be able to do more than root the phone. You can use Safestrap to use some ROMs, but I don't think CM exists for the Verizon S4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GogoplataMMA:
Oh, that's a shame. I was looking forward to this part. I wondered why I only found outdated information or a lack of information. I don't even know what a good ROM would be for this phone if there's no Cyanogen for it. Well I appreciate your reply very much. Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zeb carter:
There is a Cyanogen build for the Verizon GS4 but as mentioned, only for folks with the MDK bootloader. Only TouchWiz based roms can be used with SafeStrap - no AOSP based roms (yet).

To see what bootlader you are on, just go to ABOUT PHONE under settings.

Greetings -

I have an unlocked TF700 (twrp v 2.5.0.0) and I was running cromi-x. it began to crash a lot so i tried to flash a new rom and i must've done something wrong because now the tablet will not boot up. I can get into twrp and perform the options listed (install, backup, restore, wipe, mount, settings, advanced, reboot) but nothing seems to help. I haven't played with this in probably 6 months so i'm not sure where to start. Navigating these forums is like reading latin to me. I'm sure there is an explanation for this but I can't find it. Can some one link me to an existing thread if this has been discusses previously or help me out? I can't seem to get anything working on this and it's driving me crazy. I know I need to provide extra information to help identify this issue but i'm not sure what that info that is. Any help would be appreciated!

Also, I've tried a factory reset from twrp as well and it gives me the following messages

E:unable to mount '/external_sdcard

Updating partition details...

E:Mount: Unable to find partition, for path '/'

When I reboot following this, it takes me directly to TWRP.

I'm guessing my tablet can't find my SD card? Maybe that's an easy fix?

Thanks everyone for looking at this and thanks for anyone that takes some time to educate me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Most if all: Do not do anything desperate anymore. Your tablet is savable at this point but close to being bricked! Wait for help, I have to go to work now, but will be back tonight.

In the meantime write up a list of things you did as good as you can remember, find your bootloader version and post that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hoggs17:
Thank you for the reply. My bootloader is "<1.00 e> released by 10.6.1.14.8-20130514"

It also says "key driver not found" immediately before the bootloader data upon turn on
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Ok, good start. Now - what's you situation exactly? Can you boot into the bootloader or is recovery the only thing accessible right now?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hoggs17:
I can enter the bootloader (hold power on and volume down correct?) and it displays RCK, android and wipe data options. It only takes me to recovery tho.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Please try to be very specific. When you enter the bootloader, does it stay there or does it automatically, without your interaction, boot into TWRP?

Did you use the Wipe Data option from the bootloader or do a Factory Reset from the Settings menu?

Do you have fastboot setup on your PC?

If not, find the instructions to setup fastboot here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2688891

You will need it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hoggs17:
When i enter the bootloader, it stays on the screen. If i reboot without entering the bootloader, it goes directly into TWRP. I am not sure if i used the wipe data option or the factory reset (it has been probably 6 months). I will install fastboot on my PC now.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Interesting.

I assume you do not have any data on the tablet you need to preserve, right?

Once you got fastboot setup and "fastboot devices" returns the serial number we'll clear your misc partition (just in case) and fastboot erase your data partition. I think after that you should be able to boot the rom.

Actually, remind me, what was the last thing you flashed? Did you update TWRP already or are you still on 2.5.0?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hoggs17:
Correct, i don't need any data on this tablet; i can wipe it clean. I think the last thing i flashed was Cromi-X (not sure the number; was back in August probably. My TWRP is 2.5.0.0; i haven't updated that one. I will try to do the fast stuff tomorrow morning; too late tonight. Thanks for all your help.
