[LG Optimus L90] joco96:
Hi everyone.

Yesterday night i tried to install twrp recoveryon my Lg L90 (d405).

I rooted it, and i installed aboot.img, and flashed twrp.zip.

After that, i restarted the phone, but it was dead.

Nothing hapend, when i wanted to turn on, same thing for the firmware upgrade screen, and nothing when i pluged in the charger.

I found a solution here at xda, i reinstalled the rom, but it was v20b, and i had v20a.

And now i even cant take back the v20a rom. If i flash a v20a rom with LG flash tool 2014, evrything is okay, but my rom is still v20b. Even i cant flash v20b, when i flash a KitKat v10c, and after that i flash v20a. :(

My IMEI also lost. And my wifi dosent work with v20b, and no roaming.

I use the v10c Kitkat now.

Sorry for my bad english.

Can anyone help flash the v20a rom?
[LG Optimus L90] lfom:
Hi. Did you use LG Flashtool in emergency mode as it is explained in the thread to relock the phone? Make sure you use a kdz for the exact phone model you have.

[LG Optimus L90] lfom:
Sorry, I don't have any other ideas...

If you flashed the wrong kdz for your model, probably you have to find a tutorial to wipe everything for your model (there are many D405, remove the battery and look for your exact model), or perhaps the post for hard brick that requires that you disassemble your phone.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] millerd79:
I was doing some googling to see if there was any insurance available for our new phones like Asurion which I have on my S6 w/ Verizon.

I came across this site http://www.worthavegroup.com/product/cell-phone-insurance/ and I was wondering if anyone one has used them before.

They cover anything and everything that can happen including lost/theft.

For 1 year of coverage the cost is $64 and has a $50 deductible.

Seems like a great deal just never heard of anyone using them before.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuadjohnson22:
dang that is a good deal. Also covers theft and vandalism... hmmm I might cancel nexus protect if this is legit

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoNsTeReNeRgY22:
Have yet to file a claim (*knock on wood*) but I have used Squaretrade for quite some time.

A little bit of googling and get you 25% to 30% off making it ~ $70 for 2 years of coverage.

$75 deductible I think.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TNS201:
Nope,

You can only insure a phone that Verizon sells in their stores. So you could technically buy someone elses Samsung S5 for example and put it on your line and keep it insured. You just cannot bring a phone that was not sold by VZW and insure it.

If you already have an old phone, you are also eligible for an additional Family plan discount on Square Trade.

coupon code for smartphones?

Hi all,

Does anyone have a squaretrade code for smartphones? The ones I have can not be used for phones. It's weird, because I was always able to find one before to use on my smartphone.

Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohlin5:
I bought through then for my 6p, but I was unable to find an coupon codes that worked. I even signed up a junk email address of mine to get the coupon they send out, and it explicitly said "not valid on smartphone plans" in the fine print.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_hustleman:
Squaretrade is great, just understand that they ARE NOT a phone INSURANCE plan, they are a PROTECTION plan.

Insurance covers loss and theft, protection plans only cover damage.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
I also got squaretrade with the accidental damage protection. $99 for 2 years with $75 deductible. Covers devices up to $999. Only catch though like the_hustleman says it does not cover loss or theft. Can't really blame them though. That's how they keep great rates. Just keep your phone on you at all times.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys:
Also like Squaretrade for device insurance....
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bipoler:
I'm just using one of my savings account as interest. I'm not against insurance. But we should receive at least 50% back or be vested but to pay and get nothing.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
What insurance gives you is peace of mind. $99 to join and $75 per incident is doable if I break my phone. Paying another 600 outright ain't happening. and would cost more anyways. That's just how insurance works. You pay a small amount in a pot that can be used by all contributors to the pot in case they need it. You don't get to take your money back out of the pot after 2years just because you did not use it. You were covered for those 2 years.
[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
Hi

recently i bought the Asus zenfone2 ZE55ML1 and i want to update my firmware from 2.13.40.13 WW to the latest one.I tried with adb and by copy paste the zip file on my phone but then i discover that my firmware is the one i wrote before but the recovery is 2.20.40.97 CN.With adb i'm getting an error at 51% "Status 7''.

Any idea how i can update the phone and if yes can someone give me the details of how i can do it?

Thank you
[XDA Assist] OfficerJimLahey:
Hello, and welcome to XDA! :cowboy:

Check the box the phone came in to make sure it's a WW to begin with. If it is a CN, then you will have to follow the steps here to bring it to WW (section 4):

> Asus ZenFone 2 > ZenFone 2 General > Asus Zenfone 2 | Resources all in one thread

If it started out as a WW, just need to find a WW recovery around that version. You can do parts of the above (download full ROM , extract recovery.img, flash that via fastboot, and nothing more), but I would confirm all this with the device experts (particularly someone who went through this before - I have the device, but I never had that problem)

The thread link to check out there is:

Hello.

I Just bought a HTC one m8.

Amazing phone, just have some issues on the GPS, i'm running stock. No root no nothing.

GPS doesnt seem to work well, tried gps toolkit, gps test apps, no luck. The phone shows gps blinkin sigh on the top of the screen, but i cant get connected.

I've read about wifi calling function, thing is i'm on international htc, so there is no such a function as wifi calling, and it cant be turned of.

Tried factory reset and so on, maybe somebody could spare out some ideas how to fix this problem ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cb9501:
Can't boot a boot.img to Nexus after extracting and rebuilding in android kitchen

This is for an Asus Nexus Player (Android TV).

My goal:

Is to build (or find) a rom with secure.adb=0 so the rsa device authorization popup doesn't happen, also I want to start a tcpip adb server at boot. This is to enable control of basic keyevents through the adb shell from a crestron home automation system. It's already worked out on the crestron side for an amazon fire tv, but that device doesn't have the rsa authorization for adb. These devices won't ever get used outside of the home they go with so security isn't a concern. I'm rooted via the SkipSoft Android Tool Kit.

I've tried:

using the stock current boot.img and decompiled it with android kitchen (on windows 10 with cygwin) to access the default.prop file, modifying in wordpad:

ro.secure=0 (which I don't think I really need)

ro.debuggable=1

ro.adb.secure=0

and adding the line:

service.adb.tcp.port=5555

I read somewhere that I may have to change:

persist.sys.usb.config=none

to

persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb

but I'm not sure.

I repacked the boot.img with android kitchen with no errors, and tried to boot (not flash) it with the SkipSoft Android TooKit. This boots the device to a black screen with a white google logo, and an unlocked lock icon at the bottom. It stays there for a few minutes, then reboots back into the bootloader.

I've since tried a bunch of different things and have found that simply unpacking and re-packing the stock boot.img 5.1.1 LMY48N without even opening or editing any of the files causes the boot image file to be unloadable (same failure as above).

Any advice? I'm sure I am missing something simple. Thanks!

does any1 have got this problem before

Finally works

:p waks finally it works,

I leave it for a while and do a charging for it.

Cause I though the battery should be in cold condition (winter time in Ozi)

And yeah it works, so if you guys found this problem try above solution and see if it works

[Palm Treo 750] murrayalex:
sadly, this is happening to me as well. What apps have you installed? You're not by any chance using Sprite Backup 6? This problem only started when I installed Sprite Backup...conincidentally, I had a similar problem with my HTC Herald after using same programme, it may reset the backlight to off.
[Palm Treo 750] vladimir2989:
no i dident use sprite backup i had a lot os SPB stuff but i dot think it is any thing to do with it as HARD RESET dose NOT help ;(

what OS do u use Windows Mobile 5 or 6 ?

when it hapened to me i was on WM5 (i had it replaced)

recently i instaled WM6 on my new one it works great !

there was a post about some one having the same problem wich was FIXED by Upgrading to WM6 u shuld try it maybe !

if u will tellme if it workes !

u also cen unlock Ext_ROM and Get rid of ATT junk compleatly and u will get Unbranded ROM :) (it better if u not on ATT network in mi opinion)
[Palm Treo 750] nehvada:
maybe this is just a stupid thought, but do you use screen protectors?

i applied the one which palm has deliverd with it and shortly after that the screen didnt work. any hard- or softreset didnt help.

[Palm Treo 750] vladimir2989:
NO i dident use any screen protecters
[Palm Treo 750] steph280:
interestingly, mine just failed the same way as yours just 15 minutes ago. Tried rebooting and eventually hard reset, samething.

I noticed it would work when it prompts "touch screen to begin calibrating". Once the screen is touched, the keyboard backlight lits up, and screen wouldn't respond anymore. If I tap the screen the keyboard backlight would flicker very slightly.

I am running WM6, NO APPS INSTALLED, no screen protector, fresh 2 weeks old phone.

Now I have to figure out how to revert it back to WM5 so I can send it in for replacement.
[Palm Treo 750] steph280:
By the way, if you pull the battery out and let the phone sit for 10 minutes, it will cool down and act normal for few minutes. Enough to do the touch screen calibration thing in case if you are stuck there.
[Palm Treo 750] murrayalex:
yep...my treo exhibits exactly the same symptoms. It only started after I started using Sprite Backup and Handango Inhand. I have now turfed both and propose doing a hard reset and reinstall but don't hold out too much hope. I reckon it is basically a return to Palm job.
[Palm Treo 750] scheineden:
Waks it back to old problem again

Dont know why it doesnt work again :mad:

Try to upgrade to wm6 seems doesnt help at all.:rolleyes:

This is my third Treo 750.

Mine also failed within a day of applying a screen protector. I got a new one from the AT&T store (still within my 30 days) and haven't had a problem since.

I don't want to go long w/o a screen protector, though...

Hey :) thanks for this explanation! I have a question: Ist it possible to flash a BIOS through dnx? Because i have a different device Intel z3575 SoC, with AMI BIOS and working dnx mode but no booting. I just get bootloops after the manufacturers Logo:( also I noticed that in BIOS Menu I can't choose any devices to Boot from. Booting into EFI shell or bootable USB stick doesnt work either.. I accidentally flashed a dual Boot BIOS for win/Android to an Android only device. Maybe the partition table is wrecked. I need to find a way to flash the original BIOS, which I have, back on to the device with dnx and mft tool. Any suggestions?

First of all thanks for the quick answer.

The Device is Teclast X98 Air iii (3) 32 GB wifi rev. M5C5 I accidentally flashed the BIOS for the x98 air 3g (c5j6) because in tecknights tutorial it was unclear that it was not supported by my device.

The link to the ROMs :

http://xdaforums.com/x98-air/development/mirek190romv5-0-android-lollipop-t3206772

The Rom itself worked at first when I only flashed the Rom and not the BIOS. Then I tried to flash the dual Boot BIOS from Here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62823494&postcount=3

Because it said compatible with virtually all air devices. I know at least 5 other people who now have the same problem with broken bios and bootloops.

I have the original BIOS file from Teclast site but I cant find the link right now.

If you need the original file I would upload it and provide it but I'm not at my desktop ATM.

Hi,

I'm seeking for some help. I have a phone with an old android version on it (4.4.2). It looks like that I will never receive an update via OTA, so I tried to upgrade it by my own. I tried to use Kies but it told me that I have the most recent version. After that I installed Heimdall and JOdin and downloaded a firmware (5.0.2) from here. I tried to follow the instructions of JOdin but failed. Every one of them are using some kind of script to download and install the new firmware or I don't know. And I couldn't find a way to use the downloaded firmware (about 2 gigs).

Is there a way to upgrade my phone to an original samsung firmware via my Mac (El Capitano) ?

Thanks for your help in advance
[XDA Assist] It_ler:
Yes, flashing a new firmware on a Samsung device via a Mac is not that easy.

The flashing tool no. 1 is Odin ... which is for Windows only.

If your device is rooted, you may try on-device flashing with Mobile Odin or FlashFire app from Chainfire.

Alternatively you can install Odin in a Windows virtual box on your Mac.

For better help and advices, you can ask in the Galaxy Alpha Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.

For example, I have a Huawei Honor 3c that has the stock rom; (V100R001C900B127)..... And I want to flash another stock rom which is purposely for another phone model like Huawei Ascend, Samsung Galaxy S5, etc...

Is it possible to flash a stock rom which is purposely for another device into my device?

I'm just curious... Thanks in advance [emoji1] [emoji1]
[General Questions and Answers] droid_god:
Yes it is.

But before you flash another rom to your device. First we have to make both of them friends.

Before flashing any rom for another chipset. You have to port that rom to your chipset and then flash it.

Many guids are there on this topic and all of them are reliable if you follow them carefulley. And they works also
