Hello

I have a HTC 816 (single sim) on NTELOS service that i tried flashing to a different rom after rooting. I messed something up and couldnt find a stock ROM to flash back to. After searchjnf a bit i found a thread where someone had a stock rom for the sprint version of my phone.

I was able to flash the sprint rom and the phone is working though im having issues with 4g LTE and trouble sending mms and sms messages using the stock messaging app since it will not allow me to change apn settings. I did download an alternate messaging app and have the capability to change apn settings and now have all messaging capabilities again.

What i would like to do is flash back to stock ntelos rom and get rid of root and all things that make the phone "not stock" my girl friend has a phone exactly like mine that i could use to flash back to stock now but i need help with how to get her rom on to my phone. I would like to flash to stock then have both phones back to stock config completely without leaving root or super user in case i need to send back for warranty purposes or sell my phone

I am willing to make a small donation to anyone that can help (sorry im kinda broke but willgive a few dollars) if someone could help me step by step.

I had flashed my phone with cwm and installed custom rom then back to sprint rom with hboot but cant remember how to do the steps again if im able to get the ntelos rom off of her phone
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sicembaylor:
I've noticed that the Spotify app allows me to listen to unlimited music without a premium account just like I was on the desktop app. I can't do this on my phone, and my understanding was that the mobile app required a premium account unless you listened to your music on 'random'/radio mode. However, I can pick and choose whatever I want to listen to at any time on my Note Pro.

It got me thinking -- does this have to do with the screen size? I know it sounds crazy, but is the app somehow deciding that it's on a 'desktop' due to the screen size rather than a mobile device even though the app itself is a mobile app?

I'm kind of perplexed by this.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryo Misaki:
I forgot exactly where I saw it stated (probably the Note 3 forums), but Spotify on Tablet runs unlimited like desktop while on phone does not.

There was a mod (xposed, prolly) that allowed that functionality for phones as well, though.

I'll look for citation.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigBroham1984:
The Xposed module to get unlimited Spotify on your phone (like on a tablet) is called TabletMetrics. I am running it on my TMo Note Edge, and it works great.

My HTC S710 kept on restarting and didnot go beyound the HTC screen. I did a Hardreset... But 2 my surprise after the hard reset the 3D menu screen is gone. This is strange as it should be inbuilt in the ROM. Do we have to install 3D Menu separetely and if yes where can I have the application to install so that I can have the 3D menu display back on my S710.
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
3D Menu?

Usually, if your device can't boot, pulling out the mem stick and reboot helps. Push memstick back in after it has rebooted.
[HTC Vox] killahbiz:
i can't find hard reset i don't understand where i found expert???
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
Click Start and look for a folder called Expert. In it you find Clear Storage.

Start it and type 1234 and click Yes, Your device will reset all settings to manufacturer default.
[HTC Vox] jacktong:
I think it's the same as Dopod C500 in Taiwan, which you have to register to their website to download it back, put it in your storage card under root\2577 folder by cardreader. Put the card back in then it will install automatically.

If you can download from the official website, could you please send me a copy, I want to try this one out too, many thanks in advance.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuriy636:
I was in stock 5.0 ROM with TWRP recovery, and wanted to try CyanogenMod 12.1.

Did backup in TWRP and then flashed CM12. All went well, but eventually I wanted to go back to my stock ROM.

Entered TWRP, did wipes and went to "Restore", my backup wasn't showing. So it wasn't detected.

Connected my phone to the PC and saw that somehow after flashing CM12 all my /sdcard content went to a "0" folder...

So my backup is in /sdcard/0/TWRP and the recovery is looking up in /sdcard/TWRP, therefore it can't find it.

So my question is what I'm supposed to do? Take all the content of the "0" folder and move it to the root of sdcard? Or just the backup and after restoring all the content will move alone, or will be on /0 but will show as in root?

Also, this will happen with every ROM or it's just CM issue?

Appreciate any help.

Edit: after moving the backup to /sdcard/TWRP and restoring the screen appeared black after boot and another "0" folder have been created inside the previous "0", so my sdcard content is now in /0/0 folder.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] darthtronic:
I updated my stock unrooted Alpha via OTA update to 5.0.2 and my Recent apps capacitive button will not register anything. it still lights up if you touch the back key. I sent to my provider and they reverted back to 4.4.4. I decided to try it again and am having the same issue. I contacted Samsung directly this time who told me that my provider should not be rolling back the OS. They sent me a shipping label to send the phone into them for repair but I do not have a back up phone yet. Any chance anyone has had this issue? anyway to fix it an avoid sending my phone in for another 2-3 weeks?

hi guys, so today I was Trying to download a new rom for my phone which is Samsung s3 SPH l710 T and I was thinking I was searching online if I had to unlock my bootloader and so at the end of all that I ended up not downloading the ROM. but as for the bootloader I used ez bootloader unlocker something like that and so I unlocked the bootloader but then I reLocked it again. and after that I powered off my phone only to find that when I powered it on again it wouldn't start ! so I searched online and then I figured out that most people say that if you unlock it the bootloader that it would go into a brick a Hard brick Or soft brick I don't know which one but whenever I try to turn on my phone at all.it's not doing anything no signs of life at all on the phone. I tried it all the key combinations for factory reset, download more, all that. but nothing happened. so my question is on my phone would it work if I bought a jig whatever its called and try to force it into download mode? or if I just took it into Samsung service repair and play dumb and say that I don't know why its not turning on all that. so what should I do and if I send it to Samsung repair would they like to try to figure out if he was rooted or not. oh I also just before I turned it off and never turn it back on again I also unrooted it with superuser the one the permanent unroot with one tap thingy. so it should be Unrooted. but I don't know like what I should do if I should use the jig or if I should send it to Samsung repair or what to do! anybody have any ideas please comment please help me cuz I really want to fix this phone. and I'm sorry for the bad grammar and all that cuz I was using Google Voice. so please try to help me Thanks.

Hi peeps,

I know these plenty on theards on all this but they all seem to be outdated and not sure if they're all for the right device's etc.

I have already rooted with kingroot but not sure how to install custom recovery. All the youtube vids are in different languages.

So if someone would be kind enough to put a fresh tut on a custom rom pref android 5.*.*

Also the bloody memory thing is doing my head in. Ive installed app2sd and a few others and cant seem to get them on my sd card.

Thanks in advance and I'm sure others would be intreasted as well due to the price of the Blade L2 now. Got mine for £59.99 which for the specs is a bargain, It just can be so much better with the right rom on it.

Ive managed to install a custom recovery, not sure which one but seems ok. its not cwm or anything.

Just want the most up to date rom, also if anyone could list the handsets that roms are cross compatible with would be great.

Thanks once again

[Lenovo P780] chrichat:
The last 2-3 weeks i have really strange problem with my P780. When i try to charge it the level of the batter does not change (tried with 3 differet chargers) so propably you think that something wrong with the battery is going on. But whenever i reboot it or reseting it the level of the battery that appears after the reboot is different.

I changed the battery I ordered a new one but still the same problem occurs (at the beginning when i plugged it in it seemed that it was charging from 50% it reached 78% but then stopped and when i removed the charger it started going down really quick and when i rebooted i had 0% again)

Any ideas?? Thanks
[Lenovo P780] stympy:

Flash Kitkat S226 then OTA update to S228 see if works, then flash Baralajbi VibeUI 2.0 and tell us what is going on!

If this 2 firmware dont work you might have a problem with your motherboard! Go to a service store!

Many people struggle with the heating issue on the G3. We know that high temperature is not good for the CPU. And I discovered a unique way to solve this issue. Check out this crazy video I made and hopefully this would help you on modding and overclocking!:fingers-crossed:

But keep in mind, I am not responsible for any damaged devices. This mod would damage your warranty.

Could you give us some details before and after mod? Benchmark scores and temp?
[G3 General] OtakuLi:
Check the video, I use antutu and geekbench 3 for benchmarking. The temperature is around 60c+

And unstable core clock speed caused phone crash sometimes.

But after modding, issues solved

Thank you, hopefully this world help you, good luck on that
[G3 General] bleuxeon:
I don't know exactly what is the actual space between the 801 and the phone metal body but it realy looks like you put much too much thermal paste :eek:

What will happen soon or later is that all that thermal paste will start flowing all around the chip.

Then since most of the time when you use, and heatup, your phone it remains vertical, the thermal paste would probably contaminated all the battery slot.

I hope you did choose a dielectric thermal paste...;)
[G3 General] OtakuLi:
The thermal paste is fine and stay underneath the CPU, it does a really good job on cooling, it may be little too much in the video, but actually the gap between CPU and the metal is huge
[G3 General] Still_living714:
it's the cooling affect great? Cause I'm a heavy user and my d851 always feels like it's going to explode from how hot it gets
[G3 General] OtakuLi:
Should work fine

A very good idea, never looked in to what is inside the phone! Will definitely be doing this tomorrow! [emoji106]
[G3 General] onetik:
What temperatures are you getting during standard use (i.e. browsing, music etc. - not gaming)? I am currently getting 65-70 and would like to cool it down a lot.
[G3 General] shouff:
I did the modification yesterday and here are some logs before/after modification:

Before:

- CPU temp phone idle: 55-60 C

- CPU temp phone in use (Playing 2K video or browsing): 60-70C

After:

- CPU temp phone idle: 40C stable

- CPU temp phone in use (Playing 2K video or browsing): 45-55C

My next test will be in GPS mode in my car during a sunny day. This was shutting down my phone due to high temperature.

But so far, it seems to be positive while regarding only the measured temperatures.

PS: I'm using CPU Temperature app.
[G3 General] bleuxeon:
If you realy want this thermal mod, don't use thermal paste, use a good thermal pad.
[G3 General] Mister_Mini:
I agree with this,

I would rather use a thermal pad then paste.

The pad could also easily be removed for waranty reasons without it being noticable.
[G3 General] shouff:
Well, I don't know what kind of thermal pad you are using, but from my experience, thermal paste is MUCH more easier to remove and clean than a pad. Pads stick really bad.

I went with thermal paste and everything is ok, don't apply too much of it... It will not give better results anyway ;)
[G3 General] _jonte:
Or maybe a copper shim, plus "thin" layers of thermal paste?

---------- Post added at 14:41 ---------- Previous post was at 14:38 ----------

Did you get a sense of "how huge" the gap is? If it is close 1mm maybe a thermal pad or a copper shim would be better; or what do you think?

---------- Post added at 14:43 ---------- Previous post was at 14:41 ----------

Why should you remove it if it works? ;)
[G3 General] shouff:
In case you need to send it back to LG for a fix under warranty for example?
[G3 General] _jonte:
Aah, point taken. :)
[G3 General] arebokert:
Are you sure about this? Because I found that when I unscrewed the screws for the first time they were stuck in there quite hard. They felt like there were some kind of seal. On top of that, I saw some blue residue on about half of the screws when taken out which leads me to believe they are sealed.

[G3 General] Racer-1:
Yes, I'm sure. My G3 was send in for warranty to change the cracked bezel.
[G3 General] Kigsuha:
except this mod is there any additional way to reduce heat ? Like putting thermal paste on back cover or something thermal conductive ?

The Redmi note 2 has the black thing on its back cover.
[G3 General] nerdo:
Amazing difference after thermal pad

I chose the thermal pad as it is neater, less messy, easy to remove and most importantly non electrically conductive

I ordered (eBay) Arctic thermal pad 1 mm thick/thermal conductivity 6W/mK

The pad I got was 50x50mm big, it's tacky btw so it sticks well.

After disassembling my LG G3 I did some measurements and found that chip and corresponding impression on midframe is about 16x16mm.

I cut a piece of the pad about 20x20mm and applied it to midframe covering the chip impression as in pic.

Put things back and it was a bit of squeeze on midframe to get it to fall into place, good thing the thermal pad is spongy so it can be pressed a bit.

[IMG="LG G3 D855 Thermal Pad"]http://i.share.pho.to/d64067b2_o.jpeg[/IMG]

I was impressed by the immediate difference in temp with straining all 4 cores:

temp before: 74C

temp after: 61C

I am not big on benchmarking, but my phone scored about 4K more after mod with same kernel settings.

As pointed earlier upper part of screen does get a tad warmer after mod.

There is no warranty seal. My phone has been to repairs previously because of bezel crack.

For disassembly you can watch this video only until 4:05 and then reverser steps after applying thermal pad, paste and/or shim:

[G3 General] Kigsuha:
Um.. 145°F idle ??!! Idle is when you smartphone is not working and screen off right ??

mine overheat when screen on but not idle, when idle it's 111°F
[G3 General] luingry:

I've did this mod, and the result is AWESOME!!:victory:

Before mod:

Idle temp.: 40~45ºC

HardGaming (3D games): 80~90ºC

Score AnTuTu Benchmark: 31000~34000

After mod:

Idle temp.: 35~40ºC

HardGaming (3D games): 65~70ºC

Score AnTuTu Benchmark: 42000~43000

About the screen/display overheating:

It not happened to me. The screen seems to be a little bit more cool.

It worth to do it?

If you're having troubles with overheat by playing games 3d, or any other application that can make this, JUST DO IT !!:good::o

The only thing that i was expecting is a less battery drain, because i was thinking that higher temperature could make the battery drain more fast, but i was wrong. :rolleyes:

Notes :

-Don't expect to cooling your display more than some peoples are reporting. The thermal paste only absorve and spreads the temperate through the area with paste. If you put more than the amount, the overheating can get worse. Put only in the area of the processor and test. If you feel "overoverheating" try to remove the excess and test again until you get the point you want. (That note is appliable for thermal paste users)

-Try to find out a non conductor thermal paste. It prevents the chance of get the board shorted.

-The paste that i used is MX4. It have a nice cooling capacity and durability, but has a few conductivity, but also it is refined to get less conductivity.

Sorry for some mistakes of english ortography and gramatical.

Correct me if i said something wrong in the notes.

Hope to help some peoples decide what to do :o
