We need more information. What ROM were you using before this happened, what ROM did you try to flash, and is your device unlocked?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
He has to be unlocked otherwise he wouldn't have had a different rom on there or recovery before.

Hold down the power button and volume down button for 10 seconds, keep holding them until the screen with all the icons on it appear (recovery, wipe, usb icon etc) look up the top at the writing and at the end of the line with bootloader in it is a long number that starts with 9 or a 10. What number is it ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] McJesus15:
Considering he says he got Dead Andy that makes it possible that he was on stock and just tried to use stock recovery to flash a custom ROM. I understand your point, the OP is just lacking details.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] garykwan1981:
Hi McJesus, before this happened, I was using this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1911024

and I am trying to shift to shis one

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1982156

I was trying to enter the recovery mode to prepare wipe and flash procesure, I remember I used to use TWRP, but failed, it stopped at the "dead Android" icon, and I could get out only by restarting.

Then I researched and installed Goo and Rom manager, yet, just installed those, not done any flashing or wipe whatsoever.

Then start doing recovery mode, failed, normal boot, totally hanged, on the splash screen with "Asus"...I coudle restart with holding the power buttom though.

The device is unlocked.

Thanks for helping,
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] garykwan1981:
I was able to get to the screen that you mentioned about...But after that I normal restarted and attempted entering recovery, totally failed and only made to the splash screen.:silly:

Thanks,

It looks like you was on the Jellybean bootloader before.. I'm out and about at the moment but if someone hasn't helped you by later I will knock up some instructions for you to try.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BHermes21:
My old GS3 I was on AOKP Nov 16th build. I tried to flash lean kernal to get wifi issues. Ive tried from several version as they were being updated. I had the issue always and just flashed aokp without using another kernal. (I don't understand why I would bc others have it working fine) I would just reflash aokp and everything would go back to normal. Except this last time. Now anytime I flash any rom doesn't matter which one I get wifi on the first boot and than any reset after the initial flash i get wifi is not in range. I tried going back to stock and redoing everything. Always the same issue when I go to install any rom. Stock always works by the way. I finally got a replacement and the first time I went to do everything I get the same result. After flashing AOKP I get wifi is not in range. Or any rom based on cm10.

Can anyone think of anything? Would be much appreciated! Thanks

I have been driving myself nuts for the past few days and can't understand why.

P.S. I have a nandroid backup for aokp nov 16th build that works fine. I can always go back to that. (which sadly I have to stay on) If I flash nov 16th build I get the wifi issue??? So I am not sure what the difference is between the two?

Edit: I tried on a 16 gb version that they sent me by accident and the same results. So that's three phones I have that will not flash correctly?? I also noticed after the flash my icons of apps on the home screen are a little smaller than normal. Really scratching my head!

(Ok that is from when I was on US Cellulars Network with a GS3. I just switched to Verizon with a new gs3 and I am getting the same results as from US Cellulars version. What is going on? Any Idea's?) I have never had issues till now.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] broprah:
Could it be that your roms are defaulting to the "Avoid poor connection" setting? I know I've started over with some roms before and not been able to connect to my networks while that option was selected.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BHermes21:
If you are referring in advanced settings, avoid poor connections is unchecked. Under wifi region code I am unable to keep united states checked?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BHermes21:
Edit: As long as I have it set to a static ip address I can connect every time. If its set to dhtc or whatever its called every time it restarts is it doeasnt connect automatically.

[HTC Sensation] aronianchici:
I really need help here guys. I am rooting my friends HTC Sensation 4G (T-Mobile) and I think i might have broken the OS.

I can still get into recovery mode and flash, but my ROMs crash as soon as I boot. The phone even runs into a boot loop sometimes depending on which ROM. Can anybody guide me to bring the phone back to stock? I would GREATLY appreciate it.

-aronianchici :(
[HTC Sensation] Itsakash:
Give us detail , what u did , hboot version , etc
[HTC Sensation] aronianchici:
I rooted the phone, installed supersu (fine up until now) .. Created a backup via CWM and tried to flash Cyanogen mod. I realized it failed and so i went back to wipe (factory reset, cache, and dalvik cache) and went to restore my backup. The back up passes but is not 100% working due to some missing files in the system. I am also running HBOOT - 1.17.1111
[HTC Sensation] Itsakash:
If U r trying to install cm10 or any ics Rom

That won't work for u , coz u have gingerbread firmware... U need to flash ics firmware... And for that u need s off

Your hboot is 1.17 so revolutionary works for s off
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

When you go into bootloader,does it say s-off at the top?

Flash THIS ROM

Then,follow THIS GUIDE to the letter.

:)
[HTC Sensation] aronianchici:
Yes, it say's S-OFF at the top. I also already used revolutionary to achieve S-OFF and get CWM... Now what? I still can't do anything.. Do i flash ICS? What ROM do you recommend? Please, show me steps if that is possible.
[HTC Sensation] Itsakash:
Flash gingerbread Rom

Ics will not work on gingerbread firmware
[HTC Sensation] aronianchici:
Can you link me to a good ROM for that? Do i just throw it on my SD card and flash it?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I gave you a GB ROM to flash.

That should get your phone running again.

Then, I gave you a link to a guide which will install 4 EXT recovery,update your firmware and radio,and install ARHD ICS ROM.

Please read the link carefully,and follow it to the letter.

:)
[HTC Sensation] aronianchici:
I tried that, and it failed on me. It bootloops on the HTC logo now. I need to return this phone to my friend by tomorrow.

I don't know if this is too much to ask, but would anybody mind assisting me through a google hangouts video chat? I could do it tomorrow at about 4PM. I really need to get this fixed.... Like bad.
[HTC Sensation] Thyhack:
Wipe the phone. Then Flash the original OS with Odin. Problem solved, then try rooting again ;)
[HTC Sensation] aronianchici:
I don't know what I did... but I managed to get Cyanogen Mod working.. I'm scared to touch anything else lol. It's working flawlessly so far.

EVO 4g

My phone is rooted

im using MikG-v3.11-signed

*My phone was running slow, freezing, no text messages were coming in

* I went to my bootloader, then recovery, then wipe then wipe ALL userdata/factory reset

My phone turns on but now when it gets to the home, nothing is there like lock screen just a black screen

Is it bricked? If not, is there anything I can do to fix it?

Thank you!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diablo67:
Ok re-read what you just posted,"I went to my bootloader, then recovery, then wipe then wipe ALL userdata/factory reset"this means you dont have an operating system anymore,hence the black screen.Go back to recovery and rewipe everything and reinstall a rom or restore the nandroid you should have taken,then reboot and you should be good,now the reason your system is slowing down is the clutter on your internal and sd card,you need to backup,format and partition your sd card.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnum_Enforcer:

I'm not sure how supported that particular ROM is anymore, so you might want to check the thread for that ROM and see if anybody else was having the same issues. Might not hurt to try something else.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nocturnal86:
My N4 hasn't had good battery life compared to my GNex and its noticeable. I used Google now on the Gnex and I got like close to 3 hours or more of screen on give or take with the 2000mah extended battery depending on what i was doing with 25% brightness most of the time. But on my N4 with Google now I got like barely 2 hours at like 20% brightness which doesn't' make much sense seeing that the battery in the N4 is larger. So I decided to turn off Google now since I don't really use it and now I get a little over 2 and a half hours sometimes more. I'm guessing that's cause Google now isn't updating and all that cause I turned off all the location services and GPS except the "wifi &mobile network location" for certain apps or widgets and stuff. This is all leading up to my question. How or why maps is at the top of my battery usage and why it says its using GPS when I have it off? It never was at the top before the android OS or screen was there. Now I get better battery life but still the screen isn't the top drainer which is odd. Does anyone have any insight? Cause I can only imagine the battery life I could get out of this if everything worked properly. Cause idk if its a bad code thing or hardware.

And here are pics thanks guy's

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nocturnal86:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BruceCLin:
If you never went through that step, some apps that request location will never get it and will keep sending requests draining the battery.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kd78:
I have signed in but google maps is still my top battery drain even when I haven't used it at all. Anything else that could be causing this?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BruceCLin:
Could be some widget or app that put location data like any weather widget for example.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webmaster:
Is this a documented fact or something you came up with on your own? I am just wondering because Google Now does not work properly on my phone but it worked great on my Gnex.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nocturnal86:
Well I guess maps has a bug or its badly coded because like you guys said you still get the battery drain even when you seem to turn location stuff off. Well i did the same I have no Google now activated and it was a little better but id still get maps and it would even say the GPS was on for like hours in it on the GSam battery app So I just decided to force close Maps and since then I have no issue maps isnt even on the GSam radar and my battery life is much better I Can get 3 hours screen time with 15% brightness pretty easy and more if im not doing intensive stuff. Im hoping better code for Jellybeen or maps will come out soon to even make this higher or actually let me use maps and google now without such the drain.

Also I found that when I went to use Maps for directions the GPS getting "stuck" issue would come back so id have to force close to get that to stop and it seems that some apps that use GPS get stuck even though I switch it off like Gas Buddy which looks for gas around your location I tried it and turned on GPS then off when i was done and when i checked GSam it was at the top of my list because the GPS was stuck on and even force closing the app wouldnt shut it off so I had to uninstall and reinstall to stop it. I think it was just that it wasnt coded for 4.1.2 well so hopefully all those bugs will get worked out in the future. Hope this helps someone!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BruceCLin:
Not documented, but I have personally have 3 n4s map battery drain fixed this way. I heard here on xda, tried, and worked. So there are at least 4 people fixed this way. Of course, this is probably not the only battery bug/optimization issue in 4.2.1.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragnarok_:
same issue! battery usage as GPS

I'm actually having the same issue (i know this is old)

All my settings are correct, even with force closing the app (GPS and Facebook sometimes) the battery usage will be #1, and the GPS on time under details will be constantly ticking. As I refresh the battery usage, the GPS timer will continue to go up.

Only way I figured to solve this is to reboot my phone.. anyone else experiencing similar issues?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Natakranta:
Experiencing it both on Google stock 4.3 Galaxy Nexus and Slim Bean 4.3 Nexus 4. Battery stats show GPS running under Google maps after switching GPS off using quick settings tile, after switching off location services in phone settings and even after switching off location in Google settings app. Only reboot stops good usage in battery stats.

This is very annoying. Have anybody fixed it? Any advice appreciated.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emama:
You have exactly the same finding of mine (although I may have better punctuation)

The GPS is stuck on even when you killed the map and turn OFF the GPS in the settings already.

And you are right, every app that use the GPS can have this "bug". (I used Yelp a lot and battery status always shows that its GPS usage is on even after I turned off GPS)

In GSAM battery monitor it does not show a high usage though, I guess it does not actually drain battery.

And this issue is still appearing in Android 4.3 with Google map 7.2.0

Hey guys,

Would anyone please share with me, which device file in the HTC One X contains the contents of the boot.img once it is flashed?

Thanks!
[HTC One X] Vcek:
I dug this up myself long time ago when S-OFF had hope.

If im not wrong, the contents of the boot.img should be on the RAM, not in the internal memory.

Partition 4 mmcblk0p4

name:LNX

starts at :57344

apparent size: 16384 Kb (not sure what size)

partition size: 8192KB

PROTECTED

I don't know why you need this, you can't edit or view its contents.
[HTC One X] nirbo:
Thanks!

I needed this info because apparently someone in the Branded HTC One X forums managed to flash a boot.img file

From within a running Android ROM using "dd"; more people there have tried that and succeeded.

According to them, the partition is writable while the device is already running a ROM.

I'd like to try this myself as this would allow me to flash different ROMs on the go, without needing a PC with fastboot available :)

You first flash the boot.img while in an active ROM then reboot to recovery and flash the kernel modules and/or different ROM.
[HTC One X] tomascus:
The international One X is different to the dual core version.
[HTC One X] nirbo:
I know, hence the word "try" :)

Worst case scenario, i mess up my /boot/ then go back to fastboot to reflash my current kernel.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
You can "write" to a protected partition, but it's not the real partition, it's masked, and a reboot undoes it.

This is old news.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveRiley:
Yesterday I was in the car, on my way to symphonic band rehearsal. My phone buzzed with a text message. Not all that unusual of an occurrence. But a very unusual message:

There are two creepy aspects to this. One, I've never heard of FiveStars, and thus have no account. Two, the message arrived just as we drove past -- indeed -- a Stacia's Pizza.

Some Googling doesn't reveal much. Yes, they exist (www.fivestarscard.com) and they got some press about funding in August. Curiously, I'm unable to find any other reports of people receiving unsolicited FiveStars text messages as they drove past merchants.

I'm rather annoyed by all this. Some app on my phone must be leaking location information and my phone number without my knowledge. If this is a harbinger of the future, then I will become one very cranky person.

Victor from FiveStars here!

Hey Steve,

I'm actually the founder and CEO of FiveStars! I also happen to love flashing new roms onto my galaxy so I'm on this forum all of the time.

What you described is actually a coincidence -- we actually have no way of knowing where you are! We provide loyalty cards for small businesses, so for example Stacia's Pizza uses us to manage their Buy 10 Get 1 free program so you don't have to carry around a bunch of paper punch cards. They must have enrolled you when you ordered a pizza from them at some point, but the usual text message was delayed (you're supposed to get it right away, so these creepy scenarios don't happen).

Hope that helps! Our goal is to get you more free stuff without having to carry around all of that paper anymore. :)

Vic
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveRiley:
While I may be willing to accept that FiveStars has no knowlege of my presence, I'm unwilling to accept -- for the moment -- that my experience was purely a coincidence. I am not a customer of the pizza shop in question, so I'm unsure how they would have obtained my phone number. Furthermore, as a rule I don't join loyalty programs because the value they provide is not worth the information I must trade.

I will admit that I recently flashed a new build of JB on my G2, and when I was passing the pizza shop, I had not yet gone through my usual procedures of removing or otherwise blocking the various anti-privacy mechanisms that plague Android. See my post from a few months ago for some examples.
