Hi,

I finally got an Athena in my hands today (no I did not buy it, just tested it in the store).

Here is what I have to say - bear in mind that I have an BA (Qtek 9090) for more than 2 years and for about one month I have an Universal.

1) Screen: fantastic! Big, 640x480, bright. But... I thought it was 800x600? Anyway, the screen looks much better than the one of my Universal.

2) Keyboard: when I first saw pictures and read about the "magnetic" keyboard, my first thought was: what a piece of ****! It will never hold... Today I was corrected: the magnets are great and it is very stable. Unfortunatly I could not try it out as a cover/in closed state, due to the security-device of the store, which was glued on the inside of the keyboard.

3) Software: it had WM5 installed. Hmmm... my Universal is running WM6. WM5 is yesterday! I checked the HTC webpage and there is a new Athena model, with the only difference being the shipped WM6. This is at least ridiculous! Can existing Athena customers upgrade? The one I had did have a portuguese WM5, which was nice to see. If they bring out a portuguese WM6 for Athena, could that be used in some way for my Universal's cooked WM6?

4) Features: I did not try the camera and the GPS receiver did not work inside the store, but the feature-list is impressive.

Overall opinion:

Good

- screen is fabulous

- keyboard seems ok, even being attached by magnets only

- impressive hardware specs (CPU, RAM, GPS, WLAN, etc.)

Bad

- should have WM6

- only few pre-installed programs

- and... IT IS BIG, IT IS REALLY BIG

If you thought that the Universal is big - take a look at the Athena!

This is not a phone, it is a small tablet PC.

And here is the problem: I think it is cheaper/more functional to purchase an Asus R2H and a regular phone (or just stick to the Universal).

This way you get a real tablet PC (a small one), but with Windows XP, which means you actually get software for it!

1100 Euro is a lot of money for this device.

Cheers,

vma

Hi All

Got into a bit of a situation when I re-locked my bootloader and got stuck in a loop, unable to unlock it because of the developer settings option. I had nothing but the TWRP screen bootlooping.

Anyway, sorted it out for those who want to know how. In the bootloader run the commands "fastboot format cache" and "fastboot format userdata"

Then choose to boot into recovery, it'll work and you'll be in TWRP. From there you can flash a ROM, enable the setting in developer options & unlock the bootloader!

How can you use fastboot format cache and fastboot format userdata when the bootloader is locked? I'm on an N6, but I've had 0 luck with that.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You just can. It allows it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn0warmy:
Just went through the same thing and can confirm that fastboot format cache and fastboot format userdata got me back into recovery.

However, Recovery was showing 0MB storage space so I couldn't push anything to the SDcard for install. [MENTION=2872010]rootSU[/MENTION] recommended that I go into wipe and perform a full format (the one that requires you to type "yes"). I did this and my storage was back to normal and I was able to push a ROM to the SD card and flash it.

Problem solved!

For those in reboot loop and unable to enter recovery...

Use fastboot continue to enter the mobile by connecting the mobile to the pc..

Download Oneplus2 stock romfrom the oneplus forum

Use flashify to install the same into boot rom... (Leave data option unchecked or better still backup your data for safety.....)

The issue gets resolved and you will have the virgin Oneplus2

You can then enter recovery mode...

Make sure you install TWRP or other recovery after you intall the stock rom ....

Hope it works for you... It did for me .....

If you're on stock recovery you should be able to adb sideload the appropriate update assuming your system partition is valid. You have to find the appropriate update image from google. You can first check by finding out what release you're on in stock recovery and then searching for the update.

Help! Stock Android OS Bootlooped with a locked bootloader!

Hey, I really need your help. Alright, so this is how it started: My old LG L38C phone (Straight Talk phone) was behaving poorly and I spent a year finding and adding tweaks to it's build.prop until it ran faster than my Samsung Tab 3 7.0! My friend let me borrow his phone which on the label behind the battery says L39C, and he wanted to get me to apply the same tweaks that I applied to my phone, and when I rooted it and applied the tweaks (Build Prop Tweaker Pro), it seemed to work fine; that is until I turned it off. I tried to turn it back on and it displayed the LG logo like normal, then went to the Tracfone boot animation, and this is where it went wrong. It displayed the logo for a split second, went black, played the startup sound, then continued the pattern over and over again. I have downloaded ADB and Fastboot on my computer, as well as the device drivers, but I can't seem to do anything. The only thing I can do to it without connecting it is hold Power and Vol. Down, (should bring it to recovery mode) but it just pops up with a screen asking if I want to confirm a hard reset. I clicked the power button to confirm it and it reset. But, when it turned back on, the bootloop was still there. The only thing I haven't tried that I know about is OneClickUnbrick for PC, but my pc can't even detect the device, meaning it probably won't work. Power and Vol. Up does nothing and there is no home button to press. Removing the battery also does nothing; I tried this and the phone just refused to power on. Please help!

Also, if you can; I bricked my old Huawei Ascend Y H866C phone (tried to flash incompatible rom) and my pc detects it if I press power and vol. down and I have a guide to unbricking it through ADB; my only problem is I can't find it's stock rom. Can I just use any Huawei Ascend Y rom or do I need the stock H866C rom? If I need the stock, then I might as well throw it away, because I cannot find it anywhere. The only reason I'm posting this here is because this site won't let me start a new thread because I'm a new user and I don't know enough to post helpful comments on here; hence why I wanted to post to forums to ask for solutions to my problems.

Anyway, if you can help, please contact me at

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fab982:
I think I've read thousand of post finding no solution for this. You are my last chance.

I've N7 2013 wifi (no root, no unlocked bootloader, usb debugging tunerned off) stuck in Google logo. Fastboot mode works, but I could'nt do anything since my bootloader is blocked and I've Usb debugging disabled.

Recovery doesn't work (robot KO with red triangle).

I could'nt unlock bootloader through fastboot (stuck), and the process also stuck on "erasing userdata" .

This appear to be a very common trouble but I think it's crazy that there are not a solution for this.

Ideas?

thanks in advance

Fabio
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5.1:
Hello Fabio,

You may try recovery again... When you reboot recovery from bootloader and see the Android with red triangle, try this:

Press power button and tap volume up just once and release both

Or

Press both at the same time and release both.

Should display the recovery menu... Try factory reset from here and see if it solves your issue rebooting into system.

If not, there is a way to enable "OEM unlocking" without booting the OS on the N7 2013. Look in this thread: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2239421 for:

"NexusBootUnlocker script" and download the file: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3783994&d=1466008756

Transfert it on your sdcard/internal storage while in recovery. If transfer doesn't work, try this fix: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2391236

And install it. Reboot bootloader and try to issue:

fastboot oem unlock

Should allow you to unlock your bootloader and either boot or reflash a factory image, install TWRP, custom ROM or whatever.

Hopefully it will work...

NOTE: this is the Nexus 6 forum and you should have posted it in the N7 2013 forum where you should likely find more help i guess. Anyway, I found these informations just by using the XDA search function and Google. In the future, you may try those. They work very well... :good:

NOTE 2: I don't own this device, so except for the "NexusBootUnlocker" script, which is known for working, you're on your own with the rest as I have no way of testing...

Good luck...

I'm a self-taught web enthusiast at the level of integrating and editing JS and PHP scripts on responsive websites using a text-editor and my own server. I've set up and displayed some MySql tables, understand the structure of CMS. I learned some JavaScript, and see the idea behind event-driven behaviors and the step by step executions necessary in terms of general programming, broadly at least in terms of graphic interface.

Based on these skills, I have two goals:

I have an idea for a relatively simple, mobile app. At first glance, frameworks like AppInventor or App Maker seem simplistic. Does this drag and drop-based development allow for manipulating code, and making it do exactly what I want?

Could I be steps away from getting into app development or getting a programming job? Or would I need to know more about version-control, complex IDEs, and a language other than JavaScript and CSS, at least in terms of getting a real job.

Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassfingered:
Hi all, my Note 3 is an SCL22 AU Japan. I have to inform you that I'm no expert with unlocking, rooting, and other technicalities involved when getting my phone to work. I just really need it to be unlocked and properly work without freezing, restarting, etc.

It's been around 8 months now since I used some guy's modded firmware (or whatever it's called, newbie here) Chinese SM900D through skype and had him teach me to root and unlock my Note 3. It was a success, and I had rooted and unlocked my Note 3. Now I am experiencing issues with Nova Launcher Prime, sometimes it just freezes and I am left with no choice but to force restart. Also, it restarts from time to time (already formatted my SD, unmounted and mounted). The restart is really quick, more like a fast boot or something.

Since it's been around 8 months or so since I rooted and unlocked it, I was wondering if there may be some new firmware or new method I can use to prevent the problems I am currently having. Can anyone point me to a newbie friendly and updated thread that may help me? I really liked this phone before, but now it's like it's dying and I want to save it. Any help is appreciated.
