Hey everyone, I've searched thru the forum looking to see if someone had the same issues I did, and the stellar assistance that was given to others with various problems, I'm hoping that I can get the same (haven't seen anyone with my particular issues yet).
As mentioned in the title, I'm using a stock T-Mobile Amaze, unlocked and I'm using it in Barbados. A few weeks ago, a notification popped up on my phone.

Naturally, I was curious to see what this update was, but after ensuring that everything that was required for the update was in place, I see this...
...which I'm sure means there's some error in installing the update. The phone freezes, and I can't get out of this without doing a battery pull a la blackberry. This is issue 1.
Issue 2 is that a lot of my menus have wrong names, e.g. the 1 for Wireless connections says "Turn It On"
and even the options within the menus are wrong, e.g. In the display menu, to set the screen brightness, that option is entitled "Set A PIN code to lock your UIM Card"
Further to these, often when I try to access many of my settings, the whole shebang crashes, and asks me about sending an error report. Til now, nothing has changed in that regard. Any assistance to these problems would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Your best bet is just to do a master reset on the phone. It should clear up all those issues.
tried it...didn't work (well, the menus still are screwed up, and the settings keep crashing when i try to access some of them, like the Sound menu.)

Have you tried locking your bootloader and flashing the stock firmware?
You already unlocked your bootloader, right?
Just flash a custom rom.
If you REALLY want to flash the 1.43 update then relock your bootloader and flash this: http://goo.gl/KvHzj
Rename it to PH85IMG.zip and store it on the root of your sdcard.
It will update everything.
Then unlock your bootloader again, reroot and you'll be good.

Hello
I would like my Android device encrypted, as it contains sensitive data. I'm currently on cm-9.0.0-rc1-tinystream-hephappy-p500 (RC1-Rev.B). Now, here is what happened:
- To encrypt internal
I went to Security in System Settings and touched "Encrypt Device". It gave some confirmations and I've accepted them however, now I'm kind of stuck on this screen.

}
My first thought was "it is encrypting". But after hours of waiting, I wanted to check if it's done already. So I clicked the power-button once (just to unlock) and it asked for my password. I've entered it and it just went into my normal launcher. I've checked if anything had changed and no, my device has not been encrypted. Any logs somewhere? Any ideas what could have caused the problem?
- To encrypt SDcard
I did some research and didn't find something perfectly for my needs. Anyone has any idea on how to encrypt an SD card to properly work together with Android?
Note: I am using LINK2SD.
Thanks for your help
Another question that actually has nothing to do with my previous post that I post here because it's not worth a new thread: every time I plug in my phone into the charger, it boots automaticly. I don't want that, my previous build of CM9 did just recharge without booting, something I prefer. Any way to configure that?
Another question I want to add to the this thread: is it possible to combine a password lock and a slide lockscreen? Like when I encrypt the phone to enter a password to decrypt it again and then just use the normal slide lockscreen to unlock it each time after the decryption?
One last question: is there any way to encrypt the SQL database in Android? As it contains sensitive data... I've read something about SQLCipher but it doesn't get to work (any help would be appreciated).

Hi all,
Looking to bootloader unlock a P769 to intsall custom ROMS.
Here's the current system info (rooted w/ CWM):

It looks like I can use this (kuma82's) method to unlock the bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601480
But I'm seeing other threads for people looking for alternate methods to unlock the P769 bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557249
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2653639
But I can't establish why those people cannot just use Kuma's guide, need to know that his guide will work for this phone.
Any ideas??
I used kuma82's method
The P769 is annoying to unlock but kuma82's method worked for me after I'd unsuccessfully tried various others. The trick seems to be to leave your L9 on with data connected for as long as you can (45 mins is suggested, but I left it for around double that). Make sure you disable any screen lock and turn on "show touches" in developer options before you do anything - the crazy messed up screen drove me insane I also opted to leave the screen on and left the phone charging throughout so that sleep didn't interfere. Good luck!

Can you tell me the date under your battery?
Date under battery
Sure, it's May 2013. I purchased the phone in Nov 2013 reconditioned from Wind Mobile in Canada. I updated to the latest official kdz using offline flash (21D, I think) and had artas182x locked bootloader CWM recovery on there (as I was thinking of flashing kuma82's themed rom for locked b/l). Didn't have any joy with unlock methods listed on XDA and elsewhere, gave up for a few months, then tried kuma82's script and it worked. Hopefully others are finding the same.
Ok, I am trying to get my vzw galaxy s4 of1 5.01 (lollipop?) working with the tmobile sim. So far everything but voicemail and sms has been successful. After multiple long chats with the people at Verizon, T-Mobile, and Samsung I have concluded the only way to do this would be to to flash a new ROM. I am a total noob to this. I got root access with Kingroot, but I still need a custom recovery ( no idea what to use for my phone). Also, can I only use certain types of roms? Can anyone tell me how I install Odin? I have so many questions and wish there was a step by step for noobs. Please help, Any suggestions or info would be helpful and appriciated.
Unfortunately the route you're wanting to go isn't successful either. I stumbled across this link and it works, however with no LTE

I only had an issue with SMS / MMS.

I have adjusted and re-adjusted my APN with hopes of getting this issue resolved. Unfortunately, none of them have worked. I find it weird because others have had success. I can not get advanced signal status phone info option to work for this particular build and have read that others have the same issue. I know from what I have read that flashing a ROM is risky but I saw this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/development/stang5litre-ediition-5-0-t3132555 and am curious if this could be a viable option.
I was able to use the phone properly after installing the app that let's me turn off LTE. I can turn on the LTE if I need faster speed, but if someone texts me while I'm on it, I can't respond to them. I can however send MMS.
Device is a pretty much new LG V30 from verizon, running android 8.
I have done pretty much nothing with the device yet. No root, no tinkering, nothing. I accidentally accepted the software update request it showed me today, which I didn't want. I shut the device down but everytime I would turn it on it would start the update progress.
The only other option I had was booting into recovery, so I did that. I was presented with the following options:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So I went with factory reset. After that the phone won't boot anymore, and all I see is this screen:
What can I do now?
Again: No root. No unlocked bootloader. Nothing. I used LG's "require password on boot" feature though, which I assume is equal to android's full disk encryption. (?)
I talked to LG already since it's under warrenty (got it literally last week) - LG however told me the warrenty is void because there is a small crack on the back of the phone. WTF? Is that even true? I didn't drop the phone. I don't even know where the crack comes from. It's small. Shouldn't the warrenty cover that TOO instead of voiding the warrenty for everything else? Like jesus christ all I want is LG to fix my software why does a crack on the back matter?
From what I see my only option is to access fastboot and re-flash the ROM? The thing is: How do I access fastboot on this phone? Power and Vol- brings me into recovery (stock) everytime. Are there flashable images for the V30?
No one knows what I should try or what I could look into? This doesn't sound like it could be something overly complex to me.
Issue still persists. I had a talk with verzion at their store and they said I'd have to pay a $149 deductible. So what can I do now?
I'm assuming flashing a ROM via fastboot. Two questions:
1) Where can I get the ROM from?
2) How can I access fastboot on this phone? The method suggested everywhere puts me in LG's stock recovery, not in fastboot.

Probably someone tried to root it and made RMM to change to prenormal. Have you tried checking if RMM/KG is showing prenormal in Download mode?

I'm trying to root it
Can i fix this problem );
Yes, typically the RMM resets after 7 days. There might be a quick fix which I am unsure of, so keep digging on xda.

I just got the Edge Plus (named that here in the US) Same phone as this, and mine is like this too, brand new out of the box like this.
Having the same issue, greyed out OEM unlock button.
Brand new, out of bocx.
Also when I go to the motorola site, it says not eligible to be unlocked, which is bizzare. Its fully unlocked!
My guess is it takes some time for the button to not be grey, according to what I read here.
Still need to try to get the code though from the moto site.
Fairly confident the Oem unlock button will be active in a few days.
Does anyone button greyed out get the Oem unlock code? I can't get that. Fully unlocked device.
ok was able to get the motorola unlock code, about 24 hours after I got the phone. Still, cant get the OEM unlock to toggle. Tried multiple reset options and nothing worked (sim, no sim, wifi, no wifi).
Did a factory reset and it worked!
