Not to be negative but why do you think this tablet only cost $49.99, or $34.99 during black Friday? It's heavily subsidized to be use specifically only for Amazon. I would say that we here on XDA are a small percentage of consumer that is using the device to its full potential. Plus I'm sure the talented dev here will figure something soon. Just my 2 cents.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moogagot:
We already have CM and Slim running on the device.

If they wont unlock the bootloader for the Fire phone that was a major failure, why would they do it on this device?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylemaguire:
There really is no point. Amazon would never want this. they want you to stay on stock fire os so you keep buying things from Amazon. that's how they can sell it for $35-$50
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp420:
OEMs allowing bootloader unlock is exclusively for developers....why would anyone be developing exclusively for Fire OS? Amazon has absolutely not one good reason to agree with us that it should be unlocked.

I mean, go for it, start the petition and I'll sign, I wish it was unlocked, but I'm not holding my breath even for a second on it actually making a single bit of difference.

As long as we have roms and recovery I'm happy...I'd be WAY happier with pure AOSP MM over any CM at all, but for a $35 tab that will run an open, rooted (at the very least) lollipop rom, I have absolutely nothing to complain about at all!!! Hell, I have a 7 inch, 2 year old, galaxy tab 3 sitting on my desk as we speak which is stuck on 4.1.1 and

still

sells for 2x used what this Fire tab does new.

Any other option to check if its locked or not?
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeyinid:
If you don't mind losing your data, enable developer options then see if there is an option for "enable OEM unlock". If there is, check the box and reboot. Then make sure you have your drivers installed, open a terminal and run adb reboot bootloader. if it boots to bootloader, run fastboot oem unlock.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeeFolt:
There's a toggle in Developer Option that will enable the unlocking of Bootloader. I don't see any workaround about the rooting for this V10 series.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] FrankI897:
Hi Guys!

Need some help on this thing, hope someone can clear some doubts and give me some advice too... The thins is this, I used to have a Samsung Captivate Galaxy S (Yes, hard to believe I squeeze that thing to the last drop LOL, I flashed SlimRom, wich was a pretty light ROM I think, and keep it as clean as possible always), Im from Mexico, and also Im that type of guy marketing doesnt make hard effect on me... anyway, recently a co-worker offered me this new one, at a very good price, almost brand new, so I got it.

As you can figured it out, It is a long time now since I made my last flashes, upgrades, etc... And now I want to do it again, but if possible I would like to do it the right way.

Here are my S4 settings:

Soft Version: LV720VPUFNG2

Model: SPH-L720

Android: 4.4.2

Baseband Version: L720VPUFNG2

Already Rooted and I've already installed TWRP Ver: 2.8.4.0

I got it already SIm Unlocked.

My Career Network is GSM.

The main reason I want to flash a ROM is to get rid of all the crap Samsung installs, I would like to install a light-weight (Lollipop if possible) but a with all the functions that I aleady have, like Air gesture, Screen Mirroring, Bluetooth, Wifi, etc...

So I would really appreciate if someone can advice me with one good, light-weight-clean ROM, Lollipop if possible... ( I remember back when I was flashing Captivate, SlimROMS where something like Im looking now)

Also, If a make backup before flashing and if I got problems while flashing, By reverting to my backup, Would I have it again working like it was? I mean modem, bootloader, etc.?

My main concern is to be able to back if I have a not-working flash, as this is my new and only cellphone.

Many Thanks in advance. BTW, Hope my english is understandable :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] FrankI897:
No one? :/ Well, I'll keep it more simple lol

If I flash some ROM, I would have the same baseband/modem I already have right?

So if I flash for example, Exodus ROM, I'll end up with Android 5.1.1(I think thats the last one of that ROM) but keeping my baseband as it is now, NG2.

It Should work?

Please I really appreciate if someone can just clear this doubts before I proceed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] techyerik:
Technically speaking, Yes. You should be able to keep your baseband and modem since you're not flashing anything like that over odin, or if the ROM file itself isn't programmed to do such things.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] FrankI897:
Thanks for your answer man, and just for the last question, Do you know where I can find Stock ROMS, baseband and modems? (In case I need them)

I found this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2303917

But It looks like is not truly updated, for example I can't find my baseband version in it.

Btw, Do you know if my modem NG2? Its the last one or not? I've been searching for that info too, but can't find anything updated that I can trust.

Many thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] techyerik:
This is for stock firmware's; this means it's an all-in-one stock rom that has the baseband, kernel and modem etc. all inside a single rom file.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SPH-L720/SPR/

For latest info on your system check this

http://support.sprint.com/support/a...ServiceAdvisory_542_GKB51952-dvc7300002prd#!/

As for individual files like just single modems, kernels and basebands just search here. You'll find them, search and google are your friend. ;) And no NG2 is no't the latest, OH1 is.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] FrankI897:
Many thanks man, that's exactly what I was looking for, some backup information that could help me in case I need it, now I feel more secure about it.

Greetings from Mexico :D

PS. I'll reply later to tell how it went
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fireguy85:
I'll try to be as thorough as possible.

I started out with the stock S4. Everything worked, minus a terribly damaged screen which I replaced. It was originally on 4.4.2 the NG2 build. I rooted with CF-Auto Root through Odin 3.09. I flashed PhilZ recovery through Rashr's Recovery Tools. It says 6.15 something, but when it boots in recovery mode it just says 6 and CWRM 6.0.4.7 (not sure if this matters or not). I then installed the latest snapshot for CM 11-20141112-snapshot-m12-jflte.zip and gapps-kk-20140606 which was fine. I got LTE service, but no SMS/MMS at all. I then tried CM 12.1-20151116-snapshot-yog7dao1jn-jfltespr.zip with gapps-5.1-arm-2015-07-17-13-29.zip which looks and works great (LTE works) minus the SMS/MMS again.. I tried the same with the latest nightlies of both CM 11 and 12.1 to no avail. I wipe phone, cache and dalvik before flashing every ROM.

I have tried changing the "Bearers" to LTE for all of the n.ispsn options under APN which I'm not even sure is a valid solution anymore. My preferred network is set to LTE. I am rooted through developer options both app and adb. I have come across other Sprint SMS/MMS workaround threads, but they seem dated; it's hard to sift through what is still relevant.

My baseband still shows up as the NG2 version with Android version 5.1.1 (I am currently on CM 12.1). Does this matter? Am I using the correct versions of what I should be?

My goal is to have CM 12.1 running so I can use mobile hotspot among other features. I don't necessarily need CM, but mobile hotspot is my biggest wanted feature. And obviously SMS/MMS needs to work.

As a last ditch effort, can I go back to stock rom/does it have to be an NG2 one?

I have temporarily reactivated my previous phone (HTC One M7) until I have a sure way of accomplishing my goal with the S4.

Thanks in advance!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fireguy85:
Just did a full wipe and installed latest TWRP as my recovery. I flashed the Optimized CM 12.1 from here:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-orig-develop/exclusive-antaresone-alucard24-s-t3066696

and the latest gapps from 11/29/15 (nano fwiw).

Still have LTE. Still no MMS/SMS. I changed the same APN bearers to LTE. I tried Textra (APN settings seemed correct) and Google Messenger to no avail. I even did this dialer fix method found here (post #3):

http://xdaforums.com/note-4-sprint/...int-note-4-t2973257/post57613217#post57613217

What am I missing?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] arthurlo:
If it was MMS only that you were having issues with, then fiddling with the APN settings would make more sense to me.

However, since you have neither SMS nor MMS, it suggests something other than the APN settings.

Some potential things to try:

Turn off mobile data and see if SMS works.

Turn off LTE and drop down to 2G or 3G and see if SMS/MMS work.

Try updating your profile (hiding somewhere in the Update Software in the Settings menu) and then trying to see if SMS/MMS work.

I have had reasonable functionality on the NG2 baseband with the Dirty Unicorns ROM (v9.7) on the L720, though I did not explicitly verify that hotspot was working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mattzeller:
I would suggest flashing latest stock and make sure everything works, the CM builds you were flashing may be having issue with the fact you were in NG2. Go to sammobile.com get latest OH1,flash that via Odin, make sure everything is working, then flash TWRP via Odin. Now you will be stock with custom recovery, then you can flash your latest CM in TWRP and everything should work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fireguy85:
Thank you (both of you guys). I am downloading the stock OH1 rom from sammobile right now (1 hr+ download though..). I'll try to post up later if I get the chance.

Download is complete; however I can only find TWRP 2.8.7.0 as a .img file, even on their official site. I can download 2.8.4.0 as a .tar file, but I'm pretty sure I have to be rooted to flash an .img. We'll see I guess..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mattzeller:
Just Odin the 2.7.4.0
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fireguy85:
Yeah, I Odined the 2.8.4.0 after installing the stock rom which was successful after a factory wipe. I reactivated the S4 with Sprint and have just tested SMS and MMS-both of which work. Now to flash CM (fingers crossed!).

TWRP didn't take over my recovery.. Guess I'll reodin it.

Reflashing TWRP 2.8.4.0 didn't seem to work.. Do I need to go back through the CF-Auto Root process?

I think I got it. I had to hold up immediately after odining TWRP. I am backing up now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fireguy85:
Success so far! I have SMS and MMS working correctly and LTE working. Thank you!

However; I lost my backed up apps + data from Titanium Backup :( Am I able to restore a backup from this ROM earlier today to somehow recover this information?

Apparently flashing the stock ROM via Odin wiped out everything on my internal storage. I do have a backup from the 29th I made on CM 12.1 with CWM. Can I flash/Odin CWM and then restore this backup to get back my app data? Or can TWRP restore this backup as well? I also see an "extract from nandroid" option in Titanium Backup, but it is a paid option. I don't have a problem with this if it is my only option, but why would TB back up my apps/data internally by default? Backing up to SD card makes way more sense to me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mattzeller:
Should always make your backups on external SD card. By default TB backs up to internal because a lot of phones either don't have external SD card capability, or they just don't have one. TB is worth the couple of bucks, try googling to see if there are any free options to restore apps from nandroid
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] arthurlo:
There are apps that should be able to pull apks from the nandroid backups, but I'm unsure if they can pull the data as well.

The long and tedious way to do it is to just reload your previous CM12.1, rerun Titanium backup, then restore your current firmware.

Make a nandroid back up of your current working OH1 from TWRP and copy it to your SD card or somewhere else. I believe the backup resides in a directory called TWRP on the sdcard.

Use TWRP to restore your backup of CM12.1 (copy your backup directory into a corresponding folder in the TWRP directory). I believe it should be a standard nandroid backup if you used CWM to back it up. If it doesn't work, then flash CWM recovery with odin and then use CWM to restore your backup.

Then boot into your CM12.1, run Titanium Backup, then copy the Titanium Backup directory on to an SD card. Copying might not be necessary since you won't need to use odin to get back to stock OH1 firmware. You could probably also check to see if MMS/SMS is working.

Once you are done making the new backup of your apps/data with Titanium Backup, then use TWRP to restore your working OH1.

When restoring your apps, just be careful to choose just the ones you need. I have never tried it, but I would expect that there would be some incompatibilities between apps in CM12.1 and apps for TouchWiz (i.e. funny things may happen if the cLock screen lock app got restored).

Now that you have SMS/MMS working, do you have mobile hotspot working yet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fireguy85:
So good news/bad news I guess. I installed paid version of Titanium Backup and chose extract from nandroid. None of the apps I'm looking for were in there. I must have made nandroid after installing gapps but before other apps which is my fault. I'm guessing I'm SOL on this issue now.

I did test mobile hotspot and that seems to work though :/

And now SMS/MMS doesn't work through stock messaging app.. It does in Hangouts though thankfully..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fireguy85:
I got my app data from the nandroid after all! I had to reinstall the app from the play store and then install the app data afterwards. The app data was named something completely different than the app name and from what I was looking for. $6 well spent :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fireguy85:
I am still on the 11/1 optimized build. I still have issues with MMS. I won't receive them at all in stock messaging app. I experience major delay (and no notification unless I am in the app) if I use Hangouts. And I cannot receive them at all through Google Voice. SMS is also very much delayed except through Google Voice (with Sprint Integration). Is there anyone here that is using a CM 12.1 ROM with Sprint and having success with MMS and MMS? All of the research I have found seems to just go nowhere. I hear Hangouts and Sprint together don't work and you're not supposed to integrate GV with Sprint either (although it is the only way I can use SMS consistently and get notifications). Apparently GV isn't even compatible with MMS?

BTW, the 11/30 build destroys my Bluetooth. I can't even enable it successfully. Didn't even bother to try SMS/MMS. Flashed right back to 11/1.

I'm wondering if I can/should just flash to a rooted stock ROM. Not having reliable SMS/MMS is rather annoying..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mattzeller:
Have you tried Google Messenger?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fireguy85:
I did and it did not initially work either. I did not spend much time troubleshooting this as the general workaround seems to be just using Hangouts.

I am now in the process of switching to T-Mobile. I could not pass up on their $200/line deal for being a Sprint customer (I have 5 lines). I'm sure I'm going to have to go back to stock for awhile on this device and then maybe flash a different CM ROM to get back to where I am now. Idk, maybe not. I guess I have to have Sprint unlock my device first. If it doesn't go smoothly, I'll just sell my S4 and get a T-Mobile one. T-Mobile says this one is compatible with their network though..

EDIT: Probably not going to be fully compatible. Likely going to have to get a T-Mobile S4. I'm guessing the CF-Auto Root is still valid for rooting being it is the same device? Thank you for the help!

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1-Amateur:
Hi,

Wondering if my diagnosis is correct at this point...

The phone (Note 3, on the back is written n9005) fell and the screen cracked... also the LCD beneath it cracked. My previous phone back in the days also had a cracked screen (the Galaxy Nexus), but the screen underneath was OK. Presumably because it is an amoLED? They do not break to my knowledge...

So now, I read on the specs the note 3 has an amoLED screen. Why is it cracked? This, I find weird...

My second problem;

I tried to start the camera and I found it had a green filter moving around when you give the phone a little slap from the side. So, now I was reading this article that was talking about a green filter... Is this the same filter that got loose? I also opened the phone and saw underneath the lens (which I loosened) a green circular piece of glass that was moving freely.

Here is the article:

http://www.engadget.com/2015/11/18/samsung-smartphone-camera-BRITECELL/

Also check my pictures to see the green filter from camera-view. You clearly see the filter moving around.

Is my diagnosis correct (screen and camera)?
