Disaster Recovery Help...Please.

Well, Karma is a b#$^2... and she finally presented me with my long overdue tab. My Dash took a direct hit and the screen completely shattered. Fortunately, for whatever reason... I chose yesterday to install sprite backup and run a daily routine. So here are some immediate questions:
1. Can I restore the sprite image to a brand new Dash
2. If so, will I have to unlock it first...
3. Will the radio, ROM updates and other firmware be part of the restored image.
Thanks for your help guys... and cheers.

If your screen is the only thing that broke then all your software should be intact. Just buy a new LCD (around $20-$35 depending on where/Who you buy from), put that bad boy in there and you should be good to go.
Edit:
If you don't have them, make sure to by one that comes with tools. A video tutorial on how to do it is easy enough to find, but if you can't post back here and me or someone else will post a link. Good Luck!

whoah...
where can I find both the screen and tools (at least reputably)
many thanks.

Ebay should have TONS of them for sale. Just try to make sure the seller is in the US if you are too. I do have some in stock but I try to keep the available for my walk ins. I get about 2-3 customers a day for broken Dash LCD's. I'll provide a nice ebay link for your though.

LG Spectrum 2: ESSENTIAL TIPS & TRICKS

LG SPECTRUM 2 VS930 ESSENTIAL TIPS & TRICKS
(UPDATED SEPT 30, 2013)​
Spectrum 2 is equipped with a 4.7 inch True HD IPS screen, which means instead of the oft-criticized PenTile display,
the display uses a regular RGB matrix. The rest of the specs look quite enticing as well, including 8-megapixel camera,
the dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm MSM8960 S4 processor under the hood, NFC support and Android 4.0.4 installed.
There is 16GB of native storage and Global radio​

*** A WORD ABOUT CASES ***
The hard case that comes in two pieces and snaps on does not fit the stock Spectrum 2 very well. I had to apply a ton of force to get it to "snap" on and it still didn't fit quite right. I believe this is because the Spectrum 2 ships with the wireless charging back cover. This cover is about 1mm thicker than the back cover without the wireless charging coil. You can order the thinner back cover on Verizon's site for about $10. Its a nice case otherwise- just be prepared to spend another $10 for the thinner cover. Oh yeah, this is the case (it comes in different colors): http://www.ebay.com/itm/ORANGE-RUBB...268648?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item58970c0228
These cases fit very well with the stock back cover: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-HYBRI...559400?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item35c1da0c68 . These come in many different colors and patterns. I kinda like this one best.

The Spectrum 2 also needs an unlocked bootloader and CM10. Please show this great phone some love!!!

I am hoping someone unlocks the boot-loader.

man o man. I sure hope some Devs jump on this device ...but its sure looking like slow progress. Its great with ICS even locked down in LG land. It will be a beast with a CM10 build.

We need some DEV love for this phone for sure!

The ball is rolling down the lane, just hasn't hit the pins yet. Head over to droidforums.net . A dev is working on a CM10 build and a soon to be dev is working on a pre-rooted full stock version of ICS. (no LG overlay and bloat) .

Question on cases
Hello !
I've just purchased the LG Spectrum 2 and ordered two cases, which arrived the same day as my new phone. Everything was fine until I tried to install one of these new cases. No way would they fit. I tried installing the covers without the wireless charging back and they seemed to fit fine. Is this okay to do or would it make my phone too susceptible to dust, etc.? It seems to fit pretty snugly. I may go ahead and get the other back anyhow, but wondered about doing this. There aren't many cases that'll fit unless I do one or the other. Thanks for your help ! :victory:

I'm nowhere near being a 'soon to be', more like a 'you can do that!?!?' dev. LMAO. But there maybe some hope coming soon........

I just ran into the same problem. I had to order the standard door....... I tried to use mine without the cover but apparently the antennas work through the cover and I couldn't get cell reception without it on. I looked at dozens of different kinds of cases on several sites and not one of them mentioned this issue.
UPDATE: The standard door arrived in the mail this morning. Its about an 1/8th inch thinner and allows this case to fit perfectly.

groups unstacking at random
Someone I know is having a problem with folders on this phone. I don't own it, but do any of you have an idea? His description:
"The OS allows you to put your apps in folders, which I wanted to do because (a) it makes finding and using them easier and (b) I hate a messy interface. But, frustratingly, it seems to undo itself completely at random; I spend half an hour organizing all the apps in folders, and then I go back a while later and everything is strewn all over five pages, completely unorganized. I don't see any reason why this is happens, and there doesn't seem to be any setting or preference or whatever to make it stay the way I want it. This is supremely irritating, and worse, it obviates the whole point of being able to make folders."

Just be aware that if you remove the standard back cover that came with the LG Spectrum 2 and replace it with a different OEM back cover, you not only loose the ability to wireless charge the the device but also loos the ability to use the NFC option as the NFC chip and antenna are incorporated into that stack back cover of the device.
I also believe too that you will loose signal strength if you replace the cover as well. Its amazing how much LG has built into the back cover of the device. If you didn't research it before hand you would never know.
That is all...

So, how are you rooted with CWM, when the bootloader for the Spectrum 2 is locked and there is no procedure available to unlock the bootloader as of yet? You sure you have the Spectrum 2 and not the original Spectrum, or are you just mistaken about having CWM installed as your recovery?
Remember, just because you downloaded CMW from the app store,doesn't mean you have CMW recovery on the device.

[Guide] Huawei Ascend Y300 Unlock & Root

Huawei Ascend Y300 Unlock & Root [How To / Tutorial]
This great little Android 4.1 smartphone has been released to the German market a week ago. At a price tag of merely 150,00 Euro, it's a steal.
But no fun without root, right ?
Now, Huawei locks and secures the bootloader, which makes flashing a custom recovery impossible without messing with the bootloader code itself.
Luckily, i found out that you can request a bootloader unlock-token on the Chinese Huawei website. After unlocking with
Code:
fastboot oem unlock XXX16-digits-codeXXX
we can flash a china-made (aka chinese-language only) ClockworkMod v6.1, that has been compiled for the Y300. After installing SuperSU from CMW, you GOT ROOT.
I have written an extensive dummy-style tutorial on my tumblr blog. Unfortunately, the forum wont let me post outside links. Please go to this URL:
huawei-y300.tumblr.com
Have fun!

is this working on Huawei Y300-0100 or U8833-1??? pls help me how to root my phone, thank you so much!

I'm going to buy this phone for my mother, it's good?
Good signal? for US$ 130 is kinda'right?

For you it would be around 190$ in comparison to 150€. 1€ equals 1,31$ at the moment.
The signal is way better than my SGS+ I used before I got my Y300. And I can recommend it to everyone who is not searching for something too expensive. It runs at an average speed and the OS is nearly up-to-date with 4.1.1. The only thing which is disturbing for me is the EmotionUI 1.0 which Huawei uses. But besides that it's perfect for that price! :victory:

Same goes here, this great handy appeared about a week ago in The Netherlands for only € 119,- it is truly a steal
And yeah, it's really need the rooting because of the whole bunch of bloatware which comes preinstalled and without
the root half of them are not possible to remove. So thank you very much for the solution! My code is on the way, at least i hope so
I hope it's going to have a section here on xda-developers, because there is a lot possibilites in this phone!

Yesterday my Galaxy note broke won't charge anymore.
So i bought this as a replacement till i find something better.
Works good, only gps is acting strange sometimes more then 100meters to the right or left.
but maybe an update wil fix it. was only happening this morning, this afternoon it worked great

There's plenty of gps fix or speedup topic here on xda
After rooting it's possible one of them is going to work

Today it was working just fine
Waiting for my unlock code, they send the email to another department.

BTW, my settings menu has changed, I now have to click more settings to get to the normal settings, but it never said it was updated.

Bought the phone 3 days ago. So far absolutely flawless performance unbelievable for that price....
Just the problem with the stock software that`s taking 3 out of the 4 GB internal storage... so should we expect more ROMs to come soon?

Can somebody please post some details for this new build? What has changed etc.. I was searching everywhere and could not find anything .. Thanks guys..

Ever tried google? There is exactly what you are asking for
Got a reply from Huawei, but they totaly changed the imei and they couldn't give me an unlock code, does their translation system change the imei number? damn, now i have to mail them again and hope they reply the correct number now.

[Q] New Nexus 7 expectations.

Hi guys, just few questions if possible.
I am with android for several years now and my latest android device was i337 SGS (ATT Branded) and we're having a lot of problems with bootloader not unlocked and stuff. Is there a such problems with this device or there is no locks of any kind, and in general I do understand this is pure google but can we expect CWM recovery and ROMs for this little guy ? I can't live without my CM on my android.
And in general people who have it anything you like and most importantly don't like so far ? I orfdered mine 32GB version should be here I guess on 30th a bit after.
Thanks all.
P.S.
Anyone know where to get a case and screen protector for it but not for $20 for a damn screen protector ? I looked up pictures it looks like you can't really use old screen protector for new device ..can you ?

Please remember that from now on (unless that changed and I didn't knew): nexus = no bootloader lock at all. The nexus line was always devices that google wanted to support development and therefore there are no locks. So far, there's already CWM and TWRP available (in one day ) Hmm as far as CM is concerned, it should come soon as they're merging to make cm10.2. As far as accessories are related, you may want to check the accessory section of the forum.
Hope this helps!

that's what's up !

I guess next thing to get for this baby is wireless charger. I work with phones all day and charging port is is always getting messed up in the phones and tablets so I guess it's good idea to have something that does not require to insert cable. I see any QI Certified product will do, anyone have advice on inexpensive but good quality one ?

Can China Version Can Be Flashed?

I am planning to purchase the Lava Red version which is only sold in China. Judging from the Chinese specs page, it appears the difference is the OS? So that means the bootloader may be unlocked, I can flash a custom ROM or kernel from XDA, and basically use it as if I had the international version correct?

Of course it can. I'm also buy the red lava version from Shenzen, China. The ROM itself is Hydrogen OS and I flash Oxygen OS. For tutorials, you can check it out at this link : http://downloads.oneplus.net/
Default bootloader is locked.

What do they charge for shipping to U.S.? Do you pay customs too?

I bought an International Red OP5T 8GB/128GB from GearBest,it has Oxygen OS installed,YMMV if bought else where:
https://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_1460037.html?wid=21
I paid a lot less than current pricing.
If you subscribe/open a GearBest account & receive promotional e-mails,you'll see some special e-mail subscriber only pricing on the OP5T every 2-3 days.
FWIW,I paid $549.99 USD for my Red OP5T (I opted for express DHL shipping,added about $9.50 USD to the total cost,no other taxes or fees to the US) ........................

Not cheaper than what I paid...... to the contrary a bit more.
The 1st one I see in this link is an auction, not an actual selling price.....
As I mentioned, you'll get email only specials if you sign up for GearBest/open an account.
Otherwise, you will see higher pricing.

ok im all signed up. atm it's 755usd. if the discount and so on is all applied it'll come down to 400gpb (50gpb cheaper than those ebay ones) or 550usd near your price.
if i got that for 400gpb id be so happy. because the standard ones we can find for about 360gpb. only 40gpb or 55usd more for the red!!
thank you man, so i should just wait now for their emails. id wait a couple of weeks no problem.
just to confirm, these red ones are all the same model/version. they can all be rooted and custom rom?
also the finger print scanner on back is liek google pixel, just a scanner, not a power button like LG v20, v30, g6 etc? how do you find that? I had the lg v20 and I thought it was the best phone at the time ever (i came from samsung notes before they screwed up the note series and then put the rear sensors too high for my puny hands lol.....) as in I like the finger scanner and power as one. sometimes annoying to turn off phone screen though, thats why i think i'll like the oneplus 5t because the power button is separate, also i like that mute, vibrate and sound button, great feature without unlocking phone.
but the oneplus 6 is being announced in march? i could wait, but i kinda need a work phone now

You won't have to wait long for the emails to start rolling in, I get two every day like clockwork.
I've seen the OP5T on about 3-4 emails in the past 10 days or so. Ordered mine about a week - ten days ago, it arrived Thursday (1-7-18).
The FPR is just that, not a combination power button. The power button & SIM tray are on the right side, volume & mute on the left.
It shipped with OOS 7.1.1, Google Services on board, Bootloader locked.

what exactly does that mean, whats good about oxygen compared to the other?
also google services onboard means what exactly? and bootlocker locked means it's locked, does that mean we have to get trwp or someone to unlock the bootloader?
sorry for being hopeless lol

This is beginning to go off-topic.....
Take a look around the OP5T forum & Google search for answers to these questions,especially for Bootloader Unlocking / TWRP.
Regarding Google services on board, it means just that:
Phones solely intended for use in China do not have Google services installed. The international models do.
If you want to use anything Google related, buy an international model,unless sideloading/Bootloader unlocking/etc..... are 2nd nature to you.
If all of this is new to you, I highly suggest doing the same searches on YouTube, the how-to videos are a great tool to use.....

No,that isn't what I said or inferred:
I merely suggested getting an International version since it has Google services installed.
Apparently,either version can be bootloader unlocked & have TWRP/Root/ROMs.
Here's where to go,I suggest reading the stickied threads at a bare minimum:

Thank you mate.
oh wow, oneplus guys make it so thorough, other guys don't explain in that kind of detail with pictures. I wish everyone did it like this, I'm just not quite that savvy to always remember how to do these, especially on different devices.
can't wait to get my hands on a red 5t and get into it! xD

That's roughly the same I'm seeing in USD when referencing the email I used to buy mine about two weeks ago:

I switch phones a lot,so,I'm probably the worst person to ask,LOL.
Outside of owning the predecessor,the OP5,for a couple weeks ( I switch phones a lot.....& often ) ,I've been away from OnePlus since their Original 1+1,a lot has changed since then............
Most new phones no longer have some of the features many of us grew accustomed to (Removable Battery/SD Card slot/I-R Blaster/Dual Front-facing speakers).
Those things aside,this phone,IMHO,hardly needs much,if anything done to it.
My one recommendation would be to use it as-is,explore the features/settings it ships with before diving in to the ROM scene.
I'm rollin' w/stock OOS Android 8.0 beta ATM, at least for a month or so,before I dive in to the modding scene.
@entwicklun
Here's a couple videos,one straight from OnePlus,glad I took a look myself:

Good idea I'll go stock for awhile and get accustomed! Nice find.
I had an iPhone 3 back in the day. the one thing I miss from IOS is their magnifying glass when you try to correct a typo, you press and hold on a word and it'll zoom in then you drag to where you want the cursor to be. it's so damn faster than android stock gotta constantly click exactly at characters to delete a letter or pinch my screen to bloody zoom in.
Samsung and LG don't do the zoom in stock or android I don't think. it looks like this : and can we do it on oneplus or do you know something we can flash? I don't think it's an app. I think it's in the os or rom?
