[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] jeffla:
Well I have good news and bad news. Here is what I did. I took my recently acquired HTC P4300 dummy phone (identical layout in every way to a 8125) and completely dismantled it. Of course there was no screen, motherboard, or working keyboard. What there was:

Complete outer housing

Complete inner housing & keyboard assembly

Buttons: Power, voice record, camera, all front keys (ie/inbox, talk/end, navigation, two softkeys)

The com manager/volume slider buttons are attached to the keyboard, they are functional keys. But you can not use the keyboard assembly as the keyboard is fake. You could pry them out and put them in your old keyboard assembly.

I disassembled both the dummy phone and my 8125. Swapped everything except the keyboard. The dummy phone camera cover does not have an antenna. So you carefully peel up the antenna and glue it down to the new dummy camera cover. The other modification is you peel up the keyboard keys and put them on the 8125 keyboard. (hard to explain) They keys are one big skin glued down.

Here are some pictures. ( I apparently can't hold the camera still)

Heys guys, i was recently asking myself the same question. I posted it on Xperia subroum, but really no good answer came up. So i'm gonna ask here.

Would be possible to disassemble this dummy phone: http://cnn.cn/shop/sonyericsson-xperia-dummy-phone-p-6107.html

I would like the use the battery cover, front buttons and "maybe" faceplate.

Thanks in advance.

Between this phone and my oneplus 3 and pixel xl I actually like this one the most besides the fact that it runs android 6.0. Why do you dislike it?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] tin2404:
Dislike ? I have all Samsung Note Series, as well more S series and here is conclusion.

MIUI is great dissapointment comparing targeted phone price...As I wrote in one review, it looks like little children "played games on Ferrari car"...I have all weird chinese letters as "houses,dots and boxes" instead normal text or keyboard...also..everything is chinese or some sort of...can not sync my google accounts,doesnt have possibility to import of contacts even can not create one, can not normaly type SMS messages....can not upgrade it to normal operating system because there is suported...none !! It is unbeliveable slippery. Official support is..none ! Camera is also very cheap one and images are unbelieveble bad for that devices price tag.

also needed to create weird MIUI account, or something to get support for nothing...bootloader is locked and if you are happy they will unlock it.so ou can not even change rom to something usable.

Let me be straight...phone looks very good...but usebillity is ONLY for Chinese people...for 800€ I should buy new S8...but I am lucky that I will get my money back and it was good school...Chinese devices...never again...Anyway, I could count disadvantages countlesly, and there is also one good thing...design.

Very very dissapointed..waste of money indeed....it was my notice for people to rather spend 700-800€ on something more usefull.

Big phone, great concept, big fail.

my device is 18k , 6gb, 256gb.black.

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] wu5262:
I think you made a big fail buying a phone which you clearly didn't do much research into. Maybe you are rich enough to just throw this kind of money on any phone. What do you expect buying a phone that's only selling in China. And why you don't flash global rom or eu rom. Everything you described can all be solve if you take a bit of time to look at the guides here.

MIUI is very polish and receiving weekly update, the problems you are facing hardly have anything to do with it, it's the regional Customisation for China market that's bothering you. Almost no one uses the stock Chinese rom here, and since the global rom is out, even less reason to do so, unless you are in China or can read Chinese.

So ya, don't blame the phone, it was clear what it is and who is it for, your own fault throwing money in but I am glad you got your money back and lesson learned. No harm and good luck with your next device.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] tin2404:
Thank you for explanation.

.You are right, and it was my fault that I ignored advices to stay away from chinese devices.

p.s.

whatever I did it is impossible to flash any global or eu rom because after all of readings, no one exactly explained how

Hi,

After about a year from successful rooting my MK16i it stuck on bootloop.

Root process was conducted according to: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1865796

To top it off I'm not able to do anything including:

1. Go into recovery mode ( Power button + Volume Down and

all set of other keystrokes I could find in the net

)

- after xperia logo's presentation the phone vibrates but before anything happens it boots again.

2. ReFlash kernel.

- I'm newbie but

the reason could be USB DEBUGGING inactive - I'm not able to change that setting due to constant bootloop.

- below is the log from Flashtool:

Other facts (as mentioned before I'm a beginner - I just hope that these facts will support people in the know to help me solve the problem)

1. Once in a while I can see following message: System UID's inconsistent

-before I can do anything phone reboots itself again.

2. BOOTLOADER is probably locked. I didn't do anything to unlock it, at least deliberately.

3. I haven't installed any CWM Recovery or TWRP on my phone

4. I can go into FLASHBOOT mode but trying to flash TWRP.img a a kind of message comes up:

(//actually it's rooted so I don't really know what's happening)

I went through many threads and tips but with no result...

Is there any way I can get my phone back - fix this repetitive bootloop? Please help.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] DrUnknownEMC:
So I brought oneplus 3t for my father from china so it running hydrogen OS but now we moved back to Australia it would more sensible to change to google services for apps download and updates so i flashed Oxygen OS something stable but I was wondering how should re lock boot loader and maybe flash to stock recovery (Optional) to have boot up message and maybe encryption enabled.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] pvramk:
You need to have usb debugging enabled in your phone and adb tools installed in your pc before you do this.

For locking bootloader :

Connect the phone to computer,

Restart the phone in bootloader mode

Open command prompt window

Check connection by typing fastboot devices . You should see your device listed

Type fastboot oem lock

Reboot once the process completes. Be aware this will wipe your phone and ALL data will be lost.

It is advisable to keep boot loader unlocked.

For stock recovery :

Download stock recovery image from the forum

Save it in the same folder where your adb is installed in windows. The file name should be recovery.img

Reboot into bootloader mode

Open command prompt and

Type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Stock recovery to be installed before you lock bootloader
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] theduke7:
a cautionary warning regarding the above reply to you, don't' relock the bootloader while you're on a custom recovery and/or kernel, and also while you have changes to the system (installed any mods or deleted any files form system folder)

so in theory it's possible,

1- you need to sideload a full stock rom (download from oneplus website) it's better to be stable not beta (you should have adb drivers installed and stock recovery, sideload will insure you have stock everything)

2- after you successfully sideloaded a full stock rom and make a full boot to system, you can follow the above re-lock instructions.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] DrUnknownEMC:
Currently it running oxygen OS from their website like full rom.zip, i know when you flash new recovery you will factory wipe the phone which i don't really wants. Are they like patch to remove boot up warning? because last time i check there wasn't one.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] pvramk:
A new recovery does not wipe your phone.

There is no patch to remove the boot warning. The only way is to lock boot loader <- this will wipe your phone and data.

If your phone runs well, it is better you keep it as it is. Why fix something that's not broken ?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] dmainas:
Hi all this is my first post,

I have owned an LG G5 September and it has been flawless. A couple of days ago while plugging my G5 out of the charger, the tap to change usb connection persisted and from doing research on the forums it seems like this can occur at random without much being able to be done to fix it. Since then I have experienced extremely high battery usage from android system and I have noticed that when going into the lock screen of the phone, I am given the prompt to scan my finger with a red exclamation mark, as if i have already tried and failed to scan my finger. However the fingerprint scanner does work regardless, what i have noticed is that when scanning a new finger in settings, the phone vibrates very rapidly somehow fully registering a fingerprint in less than a second rather than vibrating and telling you to change positions of the finger. Also the fast charging capability has stoped working as a result of my phone thinking its plugged into the computer.

To sum it up, is it really possible that a single unplugging of the cable can cause the above problems? Also do any of you think that replacing the bottom port and hence the usb port (the root of the issue?) will fully resolve all problems?

I have already:

Reset the phone to factory settings

Restored from backups

Put it in rice to remove any moisture

Please ask me if any other information is required to come to a possible solution.

Cheers

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] gerciolisz:
It has sth with usb socket in your phone. Look if there is some dust or anything. Clean it carefully with needle or sth while phone is power off. Battery drain is because phone thinks it is USB cable connected, when USB is connected phone can't enter into deepsleep state. If anything help try to replace this part which holds battery and have USB socket. I think it is still cheaper than sending phone to service.

Sound Problems

I have random sound problems since i have updated my LG G5 (H850) to Nougat.

Specifically some times the notification sounds not working. (fb messenger - sms - ringtone) Its like i have muted the sounds but all the sounds are enabled.

Also i have noticed that when this problem occuring when i try to watch videos from youtube or video streaming sites, its shows me an error message and i cant watch the videos.

When i restart the phone it fixes. It think its a software problem because i have not those problems at the past running marshmallon.

At the moment i am running official h850 20c update. I have tried factory reset but the problem insists on.

Have you ever noticed something like that or heard anything about those problems? (i have also a friend that he has the same problems with his LG G5 since he updated to Nougat)
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] dmainas:
Basically the story goes as this: I bought it from one of the biggest electronics retailers here in the Netherlands (Mediamarkt) and I asked them if they can carry out reparations and they said it needs to go to LG. So I attempt to sign up my G5 for the reparation programme LG has, only to be told at the end of the form that the G5 is not being serviced here anymore. I call LG's customer service and I was given the reason "due to extremely low sales the product is not supported anymore in the region", LG also told me that Mediamarkt has to carry out reparations because there is a mutual agreement between the two even though Mediamarkt claims they are unable to carry out repairs and no such agreement exists. So as a consumer I am stuck between these two big companies and the standard 2 year guarantee is basically useless, which is why I am hoping a new bottom port will bring everything back to what it was.

Yep I agree completely that it most likely has to do with the bottom port, I also believe a new bottom port will fix most if not all issues. I dont have many options anyway I need to diagnose the phone myself otherwise I've lost my money and device.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Nick216ohio:
Aka you've been screwed over. That situation right there would make me not wanna ever deal with either company ever again. You should try to talk to someone at LG higher up, like manager or something.

LG tried screwing my brother over with a promotion. Well after talking to manager he got things fixed.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] LittlePlumb:
Go back to media markt and be a pain in the arse.

If you ask customer service nicely they more often will feed you with standard replies. Tantrums tend to help, sadly.

Double check how things are legally. Quoting the law also helps and or asking for a supervisor.

Who's up to creating a table of benchmarks for ROMs like this? I would, but I don't even have time to cook much anymore... :-/
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] papamopps:
following problems:

- the benchmarks have to be amde on one device with the same settings, etc....

- every overclocking gives a new benchmark.

- sometimes 2 benchmarks with one and the same os is different after using a program....

i used sktools benchmark and often got different benchmarks which were not comparisable.

and the best benchmark in my opinion is:

"WOW that feels fast when i´m using it...."

if this is correct or not - but it makes me happy while using the device :P
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ivanmmj:
You would run with no overclocking. Settings would make a difference only because the cook chose to set them in the ROM like that for a reason. You could have a stability section, a compatibility section (with programs (i.e. NetCF 3.5 issues)) and the benchmark section. It'd be kinda useless, but it would make me and hopefully other cooks aware of what they should work on.

I would install the ROM. Let the phone rest for 5 minutes without launching programs to let all the start up stuff finish, then check for activesync and close it. Then run the tests.

Your bootloader is re-locked. Follow the unlock procedure again, maybe you flashed the new bootloader.

BTW you don't have to flash the whole rom to change the bootloader, you can just extract it from firmware in zip and run:

fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
