Hang on, I have to make another XDA account to thank you twice :)

Great answer and really helpful. Thats the kind of attitude I love to see and really makes XDA shine.

Again thanks. Im gonna go ahead and read that and I apoligize for not reading it before hand. The thing that surprised the most is unlocking the bootloader, erases all user data. Intresting.

Can the bootloader, for whatever reason necessary, be relocked?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmyth:
It can indeed be relocked using the same method with a different command. You may want to lock it again if you were selling the device and you wanted to return it to 100% stock or of the box condition. Otherwise best to leave it open to at the least flash a custom recovery.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riahc3:
Good to know. I doubt Ill ever relock it but just to know.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweetatoo:
Hello guys,

I own LG G2 Intl version. A couple days ago the device has suddenly stopped charging with only rising 2% after 12 hours of charging then kept discharging until reaching 0%. Then it would never go above 0%. While connected with the charger, I can switch the device on. On the lock screen it says it is charging but in the Settings it says not charging. I read a lot of posts here in XDA and outside suggesting once a software issue and another a hardware issue.

Anyways, I have tried then a lot of chargers like original Samsung charger, Laptop current, original ASUS Tablet charger with all failing to charge. According to LG Live Chat and summary of different posts, it looks like a hardware issue. But because the device is still less than three months old and still on warranty, I contacted the Reseller (Amazon), who said that I could return the phone.

But since then I have been trying to reset my phone to factory settings (as some suggested it may help as well) and more important to get rid of my personal data. But I cannot. When I go to settings to restore to factory settings, a 5% battery is required to restore. While on charger trying to reach the recovery menu through (Power-Volume-Down then release then both again after displaying the logo) does not either work.

Any workaround how to restore it to factory settings?

I tried to connect my phone through BT to BT-ADB my phone and adb reboot it into recovery, but did not work, as my device could not get IP for bluetooth assigned!! Strange!!! My device is not rooted and I do not want to root it, so that it does not get the warranty lost.

Any workaround how to restore my device to factory settings?

Thank you!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00lz:
You forget to tell us what firmware version you are on, if you aren't rooted I assume you're using Kitkat/Kitkat bootloader?

Kitkat: Hold Power + Power Down, when LG Logo appears, switch to holding Volume Up + Volume Down.

Jellybean: Hold Power + Power Down, when LG Logo appears, let go and repress Power + Volume Down.

Note that doing a factory reset doesn't really stop your data from being recovered from nosey people, it just puts your data in a "last overwritten" state. To the naked eye you've wiped your phone but to be really safe it's good to wipe your hard drive using cryptographic algorithms multiple times, about 10. It may not make your data unrecoverable but at least anyone who wants to recover your data will have a hard time doing so. I wouldn't really worry about doing this in your case though.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweetatoo:
Thank you for your reply. I know that to totally erase my data a multi-write cryptographic erase is required. But the point is that I just want to restore to factory settings, so that notifications do not get easily read, in the case someone tried to open my phone and discovered it is still not restored. I will try doing 7-pass erase. Do you suggest an app?

Besides, your method did not work either. I am on KitKat 4.4.2. This is what I have done (while on charger, as I cannot remove the charger: 0% battery!!):

1- Volume-Down first pressed and held, then Power button pressed and held.

2- Waited a couple seconds until the LG logo appeared. Then I let go the Power Button while still holding the volume down, then held the Volume-Up.

3- The phone booted normally!!

I tried the steps again and again, and many times with releasing both buttons upon logo appearance then holding both V-Up and V-Down (after also releasing the V-Down), and still no luck :(

What for an annoying problem :(
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweetatoo:
I kept trying again and again and it worked at the end :D

It succeeded when I let go the Volume-Down as well with Power-Button then repressing V-Down and V-Up again.

Thank you very much :D
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00lz:
Glad it worked in the end :), let's hope your replacement doesn't have a faulty battery! :good:

Hi all,

i'm opening this new thread because I could not find any other on the forum speaking about that so, if already exist I apologize.

My question is basically this: can i connect an usb dac to my SGS2 through usb otg? I have to say i'm not running stock rom. I tried different roms through the years and almost every custom kernel so, if it is a rom/kernel issue i can deal with it.

Any suggestion?

Well, if you guys read, my Desire Z died a couple of months ago. I waited till MWC to see if a Desire Z like phone came but nothing (Damn Motorola and a Droid 5) so....I bit the bullet and went all touch :( Im hating it on a replacement phone I have currently but.

My new phone will be shortly the OnePlus One.

So with this, Im leaving these forums (well this section). Thank you for all the builds that have been pumping out and I hope Android 5.1 and beyond is reached.

Goodbye

Hello experts,

I need an explanation for the following issue:

- M919 flashed via Odin with NK2 stock firmware

- flashed TWRP via heimdall

- flashed Mokee firmware via TWRP

- baseband is changed to M919UVUFNB4

Now I flashed my wife's M919 which is on M919UVUEMK2 with Mokee but the baseband stays at MK2. Why?

Do I need to flash her phone to NK2 and then flash Mokee to get the M919UVUFNB4 baseband?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
Why would you want NB4 baseband?

You may have had mismatched baseband /bootloader on your phone to begin with.

You should always have the latest modem running NH7 or NK2, even if you downgrade bootloader.

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] schabrackes:
The point is why was the baseband downgraded when I flashed Mokee on my phone but not upgraded when I flashed Mokee on my wife's phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
Mokee roms will not install modem or change firmware, these are not included in the rom.

Your baseband must have been at NB4 before you flashed mokee.

Its possible that when you flashed the stock firmware the modem didn't stick and stayed NB4.

Your wife's phone had the matching baseband /firmware already, so it stayed the same.

All you have to do is flash the nk2 modem on your phone using Odin and you'll be all set.

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] schabrackes:
[MENTION=4298060]PanchoPlanet[/MENTION]: Yes you are right. While flashing the stock ROM NK2 the modem didn't stick. I had to flash it 3 times on my phone and 2 times on my wife's phone. Now they are both on NK2 baseband. But unfortunately that didn't solve the low WiFi signal on my wife's phone...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
If you can see a side by side comparison of both phones on the same wifi network and one has more signal than the other, you may be having a hardware issue with your wife's phone.

Hardware related could be the physical radio on m/b or the antenna wire.

Find a wifi analysis app in the play store and run it on both phones and check your readings.

If they match it could just be that the displayed value could be off.

so I have a friend who HARDbricked his s3 (sgh-t999l) and I was wondering if instead of him buying a jtag unbricker just to use a raspberry pi.( I have a raspberry pi model b)(I think) But I was thinking why not use a raspberry pi but I don't know how to code or anything so idk if this idea will work or not. so pls help my friend!

BTW he HARDbricked by putting on a rom but forgot to root after he factory reset.

Hello

Welcome to XDA Assist .

You can't use Raspberry Pi as a drop-in replacement for JTAG. In fact Raspberry Pi itself doesn't have support JTAG (ieee 1149.1).

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekalby:
I need to return my Nexus 9 to stock to get a warranty return from HTC. I know exactly what to flash, and how to relock the bootloader, my question is does it leave any evidence of being relocked? Does the text at the top of Hboot say Locked, or relocked. How about the "this is a development device" red text? Will flashing the stock bootloader, recovery, system, etc fix that? Finally, will there be any evidence if they run "fastboot oem device-info " on hboot?

I just want to be 100% clear that there wont be any evidence of bootloader unlock when I'm done.

Thanks!

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Someone Walkin':
Ok, I'm pretty much getting to grips with my IIs...

I've already upgraded my rom to o2's 1.40242 (up and down just to practice) and I know what I'm doing in so far as editing my registry... but my machine still isn't all it could be. ;)

I've pretty much read the forum upside down, but there are so many options to this and that scattered around in the various threads that that it would take me forever to try them all for functionality, so as opposed to asking for help, I'd like to instead call upon your collective experience.

As said I'm looking to make my machine the best it can be for a wm2003se PDA (not really looking to upgrade to wm5 because 2003 is still the most compatible os out there at the mo), so I'd like your thoughts on the best roms and radio versions based on your useage. (best being most stable and functional (heh, I really like a2dp... but I know the issues).

So... what's your advise?

Thx in advance, all suggestions most welcome (well.... the non-profane ones anyway. ;))

Finally... big kudos to all the devs,(pro and hobby) you all done some really stunning stuff, this is a hell of a forum. (I'd name them but I'd like to finish this post today.)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] SandStorm:
maybe you can try he system rom from this progect:

http://sx66-blueangel.home.comcast.net/

also, upgrade your radio to the latest one. :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Someone Walkin':
MORE options!... are you purposely trying to give me brain melt? ;)

I might give it a try at some point when it comes out of beta... but for the moment I'm really just going for stability and functionality.

Also you mentioned the latest radio rom.. which (if I'm correct) is the 1.15 version.. but I've read that alot of people have gone back to 1.13.... ho hum.

Thx though. :)

Any more suggestions, people?

What about suggesting a really nice cooked rom (or baked.. whatever.)

Also any chance of giving me a reason why you would recommend a particular rom over another?

Thx.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] SandStorm:
Well, in case you didn't saw:

I am just one newbie here

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Someone Walkin':

I'm learning too. ;)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] SandStorm:
no problem man :)

I'll try the upgrade to radio 1.15, and if it don't go well, i'll change to 1.13.

Anyway, also would like to try out one WM5 release, I am thinking in one clean helmi release.

Also, i've got from one portuguese forum, some interesting files that put the 2003 SE with one graphical aspect similar to wm6. (thats one of the things i'll try.

By studying all those files, maybe one day, we can compile one rom to our needs.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Someone Walkin':
Sounds interesting.. but watch you don't slow your machine down to much.. that's (and compatibility issues) my main reason for not going to new with my os.. all the pretties just bog the system down.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] SandStorm:
I will try.

also, i believe those new rom's are much faster and stable than the first ones that appeared. :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Someone Walkin':
Hey people.. still lookin' for recommendations.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] SandStorm:
here, the only recommendations we get is this: "screw it alone, we don't like you to do questions"

but for WM2003 there aren't big recommendations. it is already one outdated platform, and all of them are with the eyes on WM5 platform.

the last system roms are based on 1.42.xxx
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Someone Walkin':
Szr.. I didn't see that you had replied. ;)

The newest original rom from o2 was the 1.40.242.. I think that the 1.42 is from t-mobile.. do you know if that will work on an XDA IIs?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] SandStorm:
