[Q] No IMEI and baseband anymore. So back to stock rom for repair! topic
My LG True HD P936 has no baseband and no IMEI anymore. From one moment to the other one. I tried already different procedures. 1.) I installed a flashable baseband. No success. 2.) I installed the custom rom again. No success. 3.) I re-installed a backup that I have made. No success.
My handy still have guarantee. So I wanna go back to Stock rom Gingerbread or to ICS. I have downloaded a KDZ file from a LG download web page (I mean it's V20c.kdz or V20f.kdz for german O2 or Vodafone). At the moment my handy is running on custom rom CM11 from miroslav_mm and of course it's rooted.
What is the easiest way to go back to Stock rom so that I can send my handy to repair?

Repair Bricked Lumia 5xx topic
The reason i made this tutorial is because the app that Microsoft provided to rollback form W10 TP to WP 8.1 is bricking lower end devices. What happends is that Windows Phone Recovery Tool tries to push packages of 2 Mb, and the devices can't handle so much information at a time. Because of that the firmware gets corrupted, and makes the device unusable.
You can also use this tutorial if you only want to unbrand your device.
I own 2 Lumias 520, Lumia 920 and Lumia 830. Lucky for me, none of my devices died during update/rollback. But if this happened to you, this should work.
This tutorial does not work for Lumia 830.

a. Download
1. Nokia Care Suite
2. Data Package Manager
3.UserGroupsConfiguration
4. Your Bricked Device
1. Nokia Care Suite
2. Data Package Manager
3.UserGroupsConfiguration
4. Your Bricked Device
b. Install
1. Install Nokia Care Suite from provided link (don't run it yet)
2. Install Data Package Manager -//- (still, don't run anything)
3. Copy the file provided in link 3 in the following locations:
C:\Program Files\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Data Package Manager\bin
C:\Program Files\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Multi Software Updater 5
C:\Program Files\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Product Support Tool For Store 5
c. Recover
1. Run Nokia Care Suite and go to Data Package Manager
2. A login prompt will show up, press "Work Offline", then press "OK"
3. Data Package Manager will show up. Now go to "File" and choose "Work Online". You will again be prompted to login, and this time press "OK"
4. Now you should be able to input data in the required boxes. You now have to download your phone's firmware. Here you have to know your manufacturer name (ex. RM-914 = Lumia 520, RM-984 = Lumia 830, etc.), and a specific product code matching your device. When you get all that, press "search", and if the info you entered is correct a package will be available to download. Press the "play" button to start downloading. It will take some time depending on your connection speed.
P.S If you can't find product codes on Google, then this tutorial is too much for you.
5. Once the download completes, close Data Package Manager and go back to Nokia Care Suite's main screen, and this time select "Product Support Tool For Store". When prompted to sign in press "work offline"
6. In "Product Support Tool For Store" press "file" then choose "Open Product". In filter box you can either input your manufacturer name or device name. Press "open".
7. Now go to "Programming" and select "Recovery". A list of downloaded packages will show up. Select the Firmware you want to install and press "Start"
8. After checking the integrity of the package, it will ask to connect your phone.
Now it's time to bring the brick. Make sure the battery is at least 15% charged. While the device is turned off, simultaneously press "Volume Down + Power" with one hand, and with the other connect the usb cable. Release the buttons when the device vibrates, then quickly press retry on Recovery prompt.

[Q] Help with repair? topic
I smashed the screen on my galaxy s4 pretty badly and the display no longer works. It vibrates when I turn it on or plug it in, so I assume it still works. Is there a way for me to repair this without paying a lot of money to buy replacements or have it fixed professionally?

Need to repair EFS folder, but have currently no backup of it topic
Hi all,
I try to fix my stuck in airplaine mode and no IMEI issue by repairing efs folder.
Up to now I haven´t found an HTC RUU that could be installed.
Is there any other method to repair EFS? I heard of 3-parts ROM setups. Is something like that avialable for the ONEX plus?
I even can not find the location on my storage, where the efs folder should have been at times when the phone was OK.
Hints and Tips would be great

[Q] How to change / repair damaged led notification topic
Hi,
I accidentally drop my moto g into water, since it's only less than 10 seconds I just wept the water from phone without put it in a rice bag. I turn off the phone and wept the phone surface till dry and turning on again. The phone start normally without any defect but I notice that my LED always turned on even there is no notification. Later LED notification is died (a least i think it's dead) because even there is a notification it will not turn on.
I think LED notification is short circuited, If there is a way to change it / repair it ? I really thank you if anyone could tell me how to change it (video preferred) and tell me where to buy the spare part.
Thank You.

Water damage repair guide topic
Hey all,
Water damage success story:
One night after a night of some heavy drinking, I awoke to find that my GFlex 2 had been literally puked on... Yeah. :rolleyes:
However I fished it out of the muck and saw that it was on and working fine. (It was plugged in and charging, the battery was at 98% by the time I got the screen cleaned off, didnt use water or any cleaner at all. I also tried to blow the water out of the back of the case, at this point I didnt realize the back popped off).Took it with me to class, and by the end of the day it was at like 12%. Soon after it sorta turned off mid text, and only showed a battery icon with a question mark next to it (kinda like the "Battery too low to turn on" message, but closer to "What is a battery")
At this point I wasn't worried, I just figured it was weird low battery glitch, or over heating. I got it home and put it on the charger, and it came on for a few minutes and shut back off with the same behavior. After that point it wouldn't charge.
My first thought was that the charging connector was all gunked up, so I gave the whole phone a nice 99% isopropyl bath, and cleaned all of my connectors with a q-tip. Still didnt work. I tried cooling it off in the freezer, thinking it was a an issue with my battery being too warm, still no joy. I was pretty much thinking she was a goner at this point.
Then i found this LG Gflex 2 disassembly guide while googling: [In comments below] and decided I had nothing to lose, so I decided to pop everything open.
The first thing I did was unsnap the back, and *i found there was still a little dampness inside the back cover.* I cleaned this up, and let the phone sit with the back off for a while. Hoping this was all it would need, I tried a charger again with the back still off...
It charged fine!!! The phone battery was at 0%, so I had to let it sit for a bit, but it charged up okay, and then turned on fine too. I have yet to snap the back cover back on, and I haven't tried my rapid charger yet either, but I have no reason to think either will hurt anything now. The phone seems fine otherwise. I'll update this thread with my back cover results ;)
Anyways long story short: if your flex2 gets wet at all, pop the back cover off and dry it all out ASAP. Hope this helps someone.

Once you taken the plastic part of

[Q] Refused repair by Moto UK because "device was rooted" topic
" Sameer: Sorry to inform you that as the device will be sent back with out any repair as it was rooted."
Unbelievable.
The phone had been playing up for 2 weeks, shutting down between 70-40% battery for no good reason. I flashed 5.1 again and factory reset it. Surely that is enough to un-root it? Or do they have some special way of telling if it's been rooted before?
At the moment it seems they are posting it back to me, so I'm down the £7 in postage to them, and I now have a faulty £500 phone.
Anyone know what I should do?
I originally rooted it with 'CF-Auto-Root-shamu-shamu-nexus6.zip' and run the 'root-windows.bat' - believe while in fastboot?
I also flashed the 5.1 update straight from the google website - also through fastboot I believe..
But I do remember when I booted it up just before packing it up, that the unlocked padlock wasn't there...
I even tried google but they won't RMA it because I didn't buy it from them.
