[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Diddyu:
Seeing as you're past the point of no return, you can try washing it with soapy water (I use dish soap), but be very gentle, as corroded components tend to come off easily. After it's dried, give it a short soak OUTDOORS in naptha (vm&p from hardware store), though you might not want to do certain components, such as the battery, screen, speakers, or delicate plastics, and rinse it with more naptha. Let it air dry for a few days, and try it out. Like said earlier, this would really just be for ****s and giggles, but I have had some success with this method.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] BlueForce64:
Eh, it's too late now, i've sent it back for the insurance replacement. At least i know in confidence that they'll never find out its been unlocked because it'll never turn on again haha
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] BladeRunner:
My wife had a Galaxy S4 that spent at least 45 minutes in the bath tub. Pulled it out, let it dry in rice, then put a vacuum to all the ports/openings and I was able to revive it. That wasn't chlorine though, and who knows how long it actually lasted after that.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Strife89:
Sorry to hear that you lost your job, OP. I'm currently in the same boat, and it's tough going looking for anything new. Best of luck.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] FrostedWaffle:
I dropped my Turbo in a lake once and was able to get it out after a while. I managed to fix it by taking it apart and gently scrubbing the corroded parts with ethyl alcohol. Granted, this was lake water without the chlorine but there were a lot of minerals.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] BlueForce64:
Yeah I tried everything as well and my last resort was the insurance. I did have an s4 as well and another crazy story here, well maybe not that crazy but I was with my fiance at target buying some dog food and I left my s4 sticking halfway out of my pocket and I bent down to pick the 50lb bag up with my legs and snapped the phone in half nearly. Then I got the insurance replacement for that phone but I always test everything out before I send the old phone back. Turns out the s4 they sent me had an awful speaker and microphone so I took both phones apart and swapped the microphone and speaker and it worked perfectly for another 2 years.

Yeah it sucks. I got let go because they found out I was looking for another job. I started looking because I found that they threatened to fire 2 coworkers and myself only because they wanted us to do more(put a fire under our asses as our boss said) without getting the raises we deserved after getting certifications so I obviously was pissed and so the next day I went looking for jobs and called off whenever I had an interview because f them. I'll find something, it's just a matter of time.

Yeah I did try the alcohol scrub with a toothbrush after I let everything dry out, I even went over everything twice but in the turbo a lot of stuff is actually covered by little metal boxes so you can't directly access things. I ended up giving it a good alcohol bath a few times as well, never came back lol. I did let it charge for 8 hours, it just sat there and vibrated 1000 times before it stopped. There was one point when I could see the sd card for a tenth of second hooked up to the computer but ultimately no go.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] s4shield:
Sorry you went in the hot tub with your dad. At least it wasn't the bath tub. I couldn't get drunk enough to jump in the hot tub with my dad and we drink together a lot. We got straight for the shower baby!!! Baby oil and the whole 9!!!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] BlueForce64:
That's a little weird man. Lol.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] s4shield:
No that's perfectly normal. ^_^
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] iBowToAndroid:
Just had to do the same thing, except my Turbo face planted onto the floor of a parking garage. Glass shattered and LCD busted. But... digitizer still works and I was actually able to do a blind TWRP backup and get the files off. Yassssss. Doing the transfer and everything now

I've also done the been-in-a-hot-tub-for-45-minutes-before-I-realized-my-phone-was-in-my-pocket thing though lol. Too funny
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] BlueForce64:
Damn. Yeah, that happens. I always have a case on with screen protection but sometimes it still gets broken. Especially when I had my job using power tools and climbing in ceilings and attics and stuff all day I broke a few phones. Haha yeah, when you're in the moment you just don't think. Oh well lol
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mng777777:
A lot of the water damage recovery has to do with the power state during contact. If you get it completely soaked while it's powered on, you'll make direct shorts that damage components beyond repair. If you're fortunate enough to catch it quickly and power it down, or it doesn't get fully submerged to the point of soaking internals, then there's a high success rate in recovering the data if not the device.

Sorry for all of your losses listed herein... the thought of destroying or losing my phone makes my stomach turn!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] BlueForce64:
Yeah thanks man. It's alright. It happens. Yeah, I wish I paid more attention but oh well lol
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] scifan:
Does the AT&T M8 have the same radio bands/frequencies as the developer edition?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
As far as the specs listed, and as far as I know, yes.

Although some folks have found that the versions sometimes contain band support for bands not listed in a particular versions specs. So the longer answer, is that there may be some small hidden differences (additional support bands on one versus the other).

It might be more useful for you to describe your intent, what you are trying to accomplish etc.

For instance, if you have the necessary bands for your carrier on the Dev Edition, changing to AT&T won't change that.

But the band support is either identical or at the most, minor differences.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] scifan:
I have a gold AT&T M8... It's unlocked s-off, etc... (bought it off Swappa loaded with Dev edition, s-off/unlocked, etc)

My carrier is T-Mobile... currently I have it flashed with the Dev edition of Marshmallow... I THINK my radio's the MM edition... (H-boot shows the radio is listed as 1.29.214500021.24_2G/OS as 6.12.1540.4)

Just trying to make sure I'm running something that won't leave me hanging on radio's... I've dabbled with GPE and T-Mo roms... but wasn't sure if the Dev radio would try and support bands that the hardware won't actually support...

Is there a real way to verify the bands the hardware will support?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
The hardware is identical between the T-Mob, AT&T, Dev Ed and most other M8 versions. Band support is determined by the radio baseband firmware.

That being said, you do indeed have the MM radio, and most likely the Dev Ed radio (can't seem to find that radio number, at the moment), which is designed to work on AT&T's network. That means on T-Mob, you will have 2G (voice and EDGE data), 3G 1900 MHz (Band 2) and LTE (AWS); but you will

not

have 3G (HSPA) where T-Mob is using the HSPA AWS band (3G Band 4). This may or may not be an issue depending on your location. From what I'm reading, T-Mob is in the process of shutting down 3G service on the AWS band anyway, and migrating all 3G service to 1900 MHz (HSPA Band 2), one market region at a time. So you may not need the 3G AWS band, anyway.

However, if you find you need 3G AWS band at your location, you may want to go the the MM T-Mob radio once that update rolls out. Another option (if you really need the 3G AWS band now) might be to roll back to T-Mob Lollipop firmware, but that may cause its own complications.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] scifan:
The last time I ran a T-Mo radio on my M8 HSPA wouldn't work at all because even though they'd refarmed my area, it would try and run on frequencies my phone didn't have... (it was LTE or no data)

And I either was able to get a stable Bluetooth connection, or a stable cellular data connection... but I couldn't get both to be happy at the same time... (I found switching from WiFi to Cellular was problematic under some of the 4.x stock OS's... and then bluetooth was spotty under most of the stock 5.x rom's... and cellular switching wasn't consistent under ASOP...)

I don't know... I think at this point, I'm going to see what happens after the rest of the Sense MM releases come out... if I can't get something consistent, I'll probably work on selling this one and move to a new phone... it's nearly time anyway.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
I don't know what you mean that "it would try and run on frequencies my phone didn't have" as that really doesn't make sense (or I'm not properly understanding what you mean).

T-Mob radio is designed to run on their network, so 3G should work whether its refarmed (1900 Band 2) or not (AWS Band 4).

Hard to speculate what the issue there was, as I don't know the specifics of what ROM(s) you were on (version, stock, custom) as well as what firmware number. But what I normally would have recommended, is to baseline to full stock T-Mob using RUU, and go from there; to eliminate mismatches between ROM, firmware, etc.

But it sounds like you are past that point, and not necessarily looking for fixes for things that happened in the past.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] scifan:
I've read elsewhere that if your baseband/radio includes frequencies your phone actually doesn't have hardware to support, that you can get stuck where your device will try and utilize that frequency and not realize that it's failing to communicate... I don't know if this was the situation, but it was significantly impacting my cellular data experience...

When I originally moved to 4.4.x on T-Mobile, I RUU'd the phone... I want to say that I've had to do this once or twice when I soft bricked my phone in the past as well... I've made too many changes to speculate on one baseband/rom or another... I've flopped back and forth between being fully GPE and a combo of Sense Firmware and GPE rom...

At this point, I'm running the MM Dev firmware and rooted Dev Rom from This thread.

Btw, normally, the bluetooth issues I've experienced are pauses in music playback... with my current configuration sometimes I'll see bluetooth disconnect once after it initially connects.... Pandora controls work well. and everything else works as expected.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
The only such instance I am aware of on the M8 that is similar to what you describe, is if you try to flash a "GSM" radio (basically any non-CDMA version) to one of the CDMA variants (Sprint, Verizon) which results in a radio brick. Meaning the phone doesn't work, but it breaks the radio. But this is an issue unique to Sprint, Verizon M8.

All other M8 versions (with the odd exceptions of the dual SIM, and M8 Eye - which are really different devices) are identical in hardware and the radios are interchangeable.

Even with the CDMA M8, from what I understand, the hardware is the same as the GSM versions. Its just the partitioning that is different that causes the radio brick.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] scifan:
I know I've flashed back and forth between T-Mobile, AT&T, GPE and Dev radio's without breaking things... it just seemed that some radio frequencies didn't work...
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] PunishedSnake:
Actually the reason I got a att m8 off swappa was because of the increased amount of bands over the tmobile version

Holds all lte and hspa bands along with additional lte ones
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarda:
Has anyone rooted a model AS986? I cant seem to find any information on rooting and AS986, from what I've gathered its close the the VS986 but I don't want to brick my device.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SysPA1N1C:
Don't do it. I have the AS986 version too and it will not work. What happens is that it will boot, then quickly for about two seconds flash a warning that says LG Security Issue or something like that, and then you will see the Verizon boot animation. Then, about a minute later it just randomly shuts off. It will do this every time you try to boot the phone. Luckily, before I did this root procedure, I created a backup image and just flashed that the same way I did the root method and my phone was back to normal. Still no root though. :(
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SLLogan:
Do you still have that back up? I just bricked mine being stubborn and need a backup img
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SysPA1N1C:
I do still have the backup but I'm not sure if it would work or not. I'm not sure (you probably can) if you can transfer files using download mode or Send_Command Mode. The file is also 4.18GB so I'll provide a link when I do get this uploaded. But if all else fails this is what I did when one of my backups didn't work (I have the AS986 Version by the way):

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE AS986 OR THE VS986 BEFORE DOING THIS. I'M ALSO NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE BY FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE.

When you messed yours up, were you on 11a or 10b? If you were on 11a, go ahead and try this. If you were on 10b, I'm not sure what to do. Sorry.

1. You should use this guide: http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848

2. When you go to download the KDZ you'll notice that the AS986 KDZ isn't there. Just download the VS98611a KDZ. It's close enough.

3. Follow the guide that I gave you in step 1.

4. You should bootup like nothing happened.

Somethings may be different because you flashed a Verizon KDZ but at least you have your phone back right?

This worked for me but it may be different for you.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE AS986 OR THE VS986 BEFORE DOING THIS. I'M ALSO NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE BY FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE.

If you need more help or clarification, just let me know.

Hope I Helped! :)

Also, as a side note, stay away from the Verizon Updater. It hard bricked my G4. (I sent it in for repair already) So just resort to the safe LG Bridge Updater.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoes22:
I rooted an AS986 the other day by injecting the phone's system image with root on Linux, and flashed in download mode. Did not use the Verizon image or KDZ.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SysPA1N1C:
That's what I did too.
[Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filthykid:
Hi Friends,

I recently flashed French 5.1.1 update on my N3N and rooted through Chainfire's method. File were taken from autoroot chainfire's website. I am facing an issue as listen below:

Once the device is rooted, I download Root checker which says device is rooted. I run some root apps and yes the apps work. However, when I factory reset through the option in settings, the phone kinda hard reset. It optimizes all apps when it does first login which usually doesn't happen when resets. Moreover, once the phone starts, to my surprise, the phone has lost root. None of the rooted files work and root checker says it's not rooted. And then I have to re-root. Why is this happening?

Now, I want to downgrade and install v10 Note 4 mini ROM. May I request the gurus here to guide me. I have installed this ROM on my other N3N and it's working fine, however that phone is on 4.4.2. Will downgrading my lollipop based phone to kitkat cause the phone to brick or something? And the basic procedure to downgrade includes:

1) Install TWRP recovery

2) Wipe cache data etc

3) install Note 4 Mini ROM OR I should first install official KitKat ROM and then wipe it all and install the custom (note 4 mini) ROM.

Would appreciate your help here.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2020shyboy:
First of all NEVER factory reset your Rooted Phone unless it is unrooted otherwise you will always face this type of problem.

Samsung device is Hard to brick so just flash your 4.4.2 kitkat desired country Firmware using odin and enjoy

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares
[Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filthykid:
Thanks shyboy for your reply. In one of the threads, I figure out CF autoroot was partially running. It did not give complete root access to the phone and hence the problem arise. I installed TWRP redovery and copied latest SuperSU in the sdcard. Then through TWRP, I flashed latest SuperSU and voila, I had my phone fully rooted.
[Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filthykid:
BDW, what if I want to come to official Lollipop 5.1.1 over my Note 4 mini ROM. Should I just ODIN the official 5.1.1 firmware or do I need to first wipe it through TWRP and then flash the official ROM?

Sorry if I am bothering you. Just wanted to know.
[Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] - shifu -:
make a backup of your internal sd card
[Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2020shyboy:
Suppose brother you are on 4.4.2 base firmware and you are flashing Note4 mini rom you can take backup using twrp recovery, and can flash S5 custom rom for N3N which has base firmware of 4.4.2 but if you want to flash new Version of RoM 5.1.1 you have to use odin then i think you cant use Note4mini rom because it is based on kitkat hope it helped

just press thanks button rather than a reply ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anand4edu:
Tried downgrading from lollipop to kitkat. Seems it's not possible.
[Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lennon123:
You can downgrade to KitKat. There is a thread on the forum who talks about that.

Please help with the reference link.
[Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arya809:
I don't know whether you have done it or not. But if not, beware, there is a risk of losing imei while downgrading from 5.1.1 to lower versions. I would suggest making a EFS backup first. By doing that you can restore your IMEI in case you lose it.

Download EFS backup apps from google play store.

Hello Guys

I have installed omni-4.4.4-20150521-p5100-FINAL on my P5100(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2581782). The ROM is great - Stable & Fast compared to the Stock ROM. But the only problem I am facing is that the tab now takes twice the time than before to charge. The battery backup has also decreased a lot compared to the stock ROM. Is anyone else also facing the same problem & if you have the solution please help me out.

This is the first time I have installed a custom ROM. Can someone also tell me whats the difference between Official Build & Unofficial Build.Are Unofficial builds really stable & great for daily use. I am planning to install the candy5 ROM if I don't get a solution. Candy5 Official build is v3.7 while Unofficial build is v4.1.

Stereophonic / Remastered Android Audio

Greeting fellow XDA'ers (?)

It's long overdue, but Stereophonic / Remastered Android Audio will be updated soon for 2020! I'm working on adding some new phones, and also have my sights set on adding Android 9 and 10.

Remastered Audio! What do I mean by remastered you may ask? Some sounds have been amplified, safely, some others have been de-amplified to less harsh levels based on manual listening and adjusting sessions. Mono tracks have been turned into stereo tracks, and some stereo tracks have been rebalanced to give better total output. I tried to insure that all audio tracks never surpasses -3db as a rule of thumb. The goal is to get as loud as COMFORTABLY possible or to LOWER the volume on some audio so it doesn't sound like your phone's speaker is exploding.

Basically...

Dislike not being able to hear your keyboard very well when you type?

Want to hear those lovely lock and unlock sounds without having to be in a whisper quiet room? (I know I do)

Are you annoyed by how outrageously quiet the camera sounds are?

Hate the distorted rattle sound that some ringtones cause due to being too loud?

Want to add a crap ton of new and cool sounds to your phone?

Want to preserve your phone's speakers to hopefully keep them from being damaged? (In theory)

Well look no further!

[Warning] This process does increase the file size of most audio files, while I've not heard any kind of lag or delay what so ever at all during my testing, even with crazy trying and such. It is entirely possible that some sort of lag/delay could be introduced on some/slower devices. This is just a theoretical guess mind you.

Thanks to user Eun-Hjzjined for the flashable zip. Just flash the attached file via your custom recovery and all should be well.

ALSO

Always looking for new system media dumps from new phones or new Android versions to remaster and add to the project! Feel free to send em my way!

I hope some of you get enjoyment out of this. I originally did it for myself, but felt that others like myself may want to enjoy better audio.

Thanks all!

[Android Themes] iakeco:
So if I wanted to try this, I just flash in recovery. To get back to stock do I just flash the ROM again.
[Android Themes] AlkaliV2:
I have a general question for you:

I run most often PureNexus or another close variant and flashing this over my current setup (latest PureNexus) the names are the same but the actual sounds are different. They are remastered properly and sound really good, but it is almost like the names of the ringtones I know are not the stock ones that you remastered. Is there a reason why the sound files all have different names and different sounds across ROMs or is that an AOSP thing? I know CM has completely different ringtones and names, but just AOSP there doesn't seem to be a consensus on what name goes with what sound.
[Android Themes] Locklear308:
Basically yes, though you could backup your current sounds with a root file explorer. But honestly I am 99% sure you won't feel the need to switch back.
[Android Themes] Locklear308:
You know mate, I asked the same thing a long time ago and no one could tell me. I've never understood that. If someone could get me the correct name list or something I could correct it , it would be nice lol.
[Android Themes] Leonardohernandez98:
Reflashed this over your previous version. Good work! Everything is fine now.
[Android Themes] Locklear308:
Good to hear! I will be making a new one soon that will include some extra sounds. As an extra file if one wants to use it.
[Android Themes] AlkaliV2:
That is kind of what I thought. My favorite ringtone in stock PureNexus is Phobos (also one of my favorite rounds in Quake 3) and if I ever find out the actual name for that ringtone I'm going to request you to amplify it for me. Thanks for letting me know though and thank you sincerely for doing this. I can finally hear actions, like screen touches, without having to crank the volume :good:
[Android Themes] Locklear308:
That's just like this ringtone called "Jasmine" that I love, but I cannot find it anymore lol. I thought it was a marshmallow one, but apparently it isn't. Just let me know what you find!
