[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Glad to know that I can do a kind of a change. If you need any further assistance or questions ahead of time, feel free to PM me.

Honestly, I'm not doing it to be a bad guy or to waste people's time. If it wasn't important, then I wouldn't stress how imperative ADB & Fastboot are to ANY device, but particularly towards Nexus devices. Fastboot isn't present in all devices, other devices such as Samsung Galaxy etc etc use Odin (Samsung's Firmware Flasher) which is the same thing but its more GUI friendly but it can still cause bricks and fastboot is easier in my opinion.

Just like what franco said,

It is REALLY REALLY difficult to brick a Nexus device, and I'm not surprised that it does happen to people because they use the toolkit and aren't aware of what they're doing. It's like solving a math problem, what's the point in getting spoon fed the answer? Just work it out. Except for Nexus devices, you don't even have to work it out!!! all you do is read a GUIDE that one person spent time on writing up. At least have the decency on reading it. You read it, and you do the step, then proceed until you're at the end. It's not difficult, and you get to know what you're doing it and why you are doing it.

People do things and their phone cant boot up but can access bootloader mode. They don't even know how to fastboot flash and then post a thread in Q&A forum saying their phone is bricked.

And you don't have to redo the 7 process lol. Manually unlocking bootloader is one thing and then knowing how to flash is the easy part.

Even the ghetto guide I posted a couple posts above works for any nexus device.

1. set up ADB environment (google sdk) basically get fastboot binary.. if you want ADB you'll need the adb.exe binary

2. install drivers http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1514942

3. bootloader mode

4. fastboot oem unlock

5. unlock the phone on screen using vol keys

6. fastboot flash whatever.img [put in same folder as fastboot.exe]

7. done. you successfully flashed a 3rd-party recovery. now just put a zip file on the sdcard when android starts

8. receovery, wipe factory/dalvik/cache

9. flash rom,gapps(optional depending what rom), kernel (optional)

10. congrats you flashed a rom and kernel.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malikusmanrasheed:
@zephiK. Thanks for the expert advice. I used Samsung S1 in the past and never used adb, was scared of it. I took your advice. Followed the guide and got rooted, the adb way. I have to admit. It was pretty satisfying to know what i was doing. Thanks again to everyone here.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bljy:
thanks

wow. good post. thanks a lot! :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeeps13:
Is wallet working on all to Roms? Sorry to butt in this thread..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Not a expert advice by any means. Just been around for a long time so I observe the commonalities between all users. I just really dislike it when people say or recommend things when really they don't know anything. Not saying I'm perfect by any means, but people need to stop being so cocky on the forums acting like they know everything. Instead of trying to defend themselves, ask questions on why I feel this way or whatever.

That's what forums are all about right? That's what XDA is all about. Spreading information. Not clicking a button that spoon feeds you something and you don't know how or why it's like that.

If someone gave you a car with one click (toolkit), what's the point in having a car if you can't drive it? (Toolkit) do you expect to click one button and the car drives you from home to where you need to be and back? What happens if it doesn't work? You ask questions on how to do this and th at.

You have to go through the procedure of learning how to use it. If you learn from the beginning (like I said, it's not hard, if it was then it's understandable about a toolkit) then it'll be a breeze. When I first got started, I was a lurker on XDA, I didn't post. All I did was read. I didn't have toolkits, I had to telnet my G1 to obtain root access through a exploit that took 40-55 minutes, one mess up and I would of bricked my phone and i had to do it with my hands, that's a scary thought knowing that you can't go back once you started. People nowadays should be grateful that unlocking bootloaders aren't as difficult anymore but yet people still feel the need to use a toolkit when it already is simple.

I didn't post it. That guy did. Definitely a great read and pretty much what I always believed in when I saw a toolkit. Should be banned from the forums but eh, who am I to call the shots :p

Yes Google Wallet works on any ROM as well as kernel. It says incompatible because you're rooted but it should work regardless of that text on the top of the app. Flash away!

August 17, 2009: http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-root-a-t-mobile-g1-and-mytouch-3g-android-phone/

First guide one of the first rooting methods. August 17 is sort of one clickish but you still had to do a lot of things to get through it. So as you can see, it's not spoon fed to you, compare that to what you have to do now. Tell me that unlocking the Nexus bootloader is hard after reading all that ;) ... it isn't.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxMAGICxx:
@zephiK Can you link me to where it shows me how to root, and install CWM? Please :)

I actually prefer TWRP over CWM. Your preference though.

Both can be found in Android Development Forum.

Thank you! Much appreciated!

Welcome I actually edited my post. Didn't feel the other one was worth it, it was more of 'restoring to factory' using fastboot. Sorry about that. I post and edit afterwards a lot
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdspoel:
Having some issues with my desire hd when playing games that involve movement and i'm unable to find an answer in any previous topics.

when playing a game that involves movement and pressing an action button at the same time the controls become unresponsive. the simple example is playing super mario world and being unable to run. i can walk using one direction button but as soon as you hold the run button or attempt to jump at the same time you have to resort to pressing the direction button over and over to be able to move again.

i've tried restarting the apps, tried various types of apps from 2d platformers to 3d emulators and the same problem applies.

re calibration seemed to help only slightly and re installing apps also does not work.

any insight would be greatly appreciated, so many good games that i'm unable to play with this problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] orfius christ:
So today, after I just finished rooting my phone, stepped out to have a smoke. I walked and dropped my phone off a wooden stair and into a icicle puddle on an already present soft pile of snow. On the first hit the back flew off and then fell battery side first. It now won't turn on, so would best buy cover this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LBJM:
My first thought is by protection you mean not letting them touch my phone, then yes ;)

Being serious if their protection covers accidental damage they should be to swap it out no problem. If not and you have insurance on your phone go to a VZW store.

Neither place can tell if you are rooted/unlocked etc when the phone doesn't power up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cgalyon:
Yeah, they should replace it no problem. You'll be without your phone for several days, but that's about the worst of it. I used their plan for a couple of years with my Galaxy Nexus. Was pretty easy to work with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Travisdroidx2:
Do they cover water damage though? I know assurian will not cover the device for water damage. They have those white stickers on battery and inside back of phone. When it gets wet it turns red. Not sure about best buy coverage but wanted to give you a heads up just in case. Sorry to hear about your loss that does suck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Your experience is a huge exception to the rule. No store here will give you a new phone from their store stock, even if refurbs are unavailable ( it is against Best Buy policy). You simply wait. Is it possible you have connections in the store?

Even with me making a public spectacle of Best Buy's shady Black Tie protection, I didn't get a new phone in-store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sean09232:
No connections at all. The guy asked me do you want to have your phone repaired(2-3 weeks) or do you want a rapid exchange(5 days) I agreed to have phone repaired so I would get the same phone back. He put it in the computer and he said it told him to do rapid exchange then he tried that and it told him to replace it in Store. I had no thoughts of getting a brand new phone it just Happened that way then the 2nd time I didn't mention getting a new one the first time and the same thing happened and it was a different employee. The 3rd time just recently when I got the note 2 I didn't mention any thing about previous new replacements and they offered me another new replacement but i explained the situation with Verizon and wanting an alternate replacement than he told me they could fulfill the plan and give me the credit and that's what I did this time also different employee than 2 previous times. but I definitely don't have connections
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rebel908:
It will be covered. You'll have to wait about a week to get it back.

My suggestion is to always either break your phone to the max or damage the phone in away that you can restore to stock so no warranty issues arise.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Black Tie is separate from the phone warranty. It is insurance, not a warranty.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] darkkterror:
Actually, they do cover water damage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rebel908:
I understand that, but from what I have been told voiding the phone warranty would be grounds for not honoring the plan, same reasoning as to why Samsung would not honor the contract
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Hogwash on whoever told you that.

The insurance is to cover things not covered by warranty.

For instance, dropping and breaking your phone voids the warranty. Naturally, Black Tie and other insurance comes into play then. If they didn't, that would be grounds for fraud on their part and many lawsuits would ensue.

The only things you need to worry about are what they don't cover according to their TOS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
Yeah they cover water damage ... its insurance. Like was stated it would open up a major can of worms if they had retarded stipulations.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] srath16:
Having worked for Best Buy Mobile for over 2 years now, I will share what GSP (Geek Squad Protection) means for you.

The plan is allowed only for phones purchased from Best Buy or a non-refurbished like-new iPhone not originally purchased from Best Buy. The plan is phone specific and can cover any phone Best Buy distributes.

Here is what the plan covers and the costs:

Covers:

Water Damage(full submersion and battery replacement)

Accidental damage, broken screen, hardware physicalities etc.

Software malfunctions/defects

Original purchased accessories included in phone packaging including earbuds, charger cable etc.

Unlimited Claims

No deductibles($0)

Loaner Phone coverage(some stores charge $50 deposits).

No commitment, can be cancelled by owner at any desired time

9.99 for smartphones/169.99 for 2 years outright

14.99 for iPhones/269.99 for 2 years outright

5.99 for basic phones/119.99 for 2 years outright

(if an outright plan is purchased, it can still be cancelled and prorated for months used as a refund).

Does not Cover:

Lost or Stolen Items

How it works:

Best Buy goes through a vendor known as Jabil to replace the phones made from service claims. Jabil is a facility that commisions the manufacturers to send parts to the facility to be manufactured back to original state OR send a completely new/already remanufactured device to Best Buy to return to you. The item is not classed "refurbished".

The process for the claim is 2-3 business days.

Exceptions:

If no phones are available on hand to be shipped in for the claim the item may be put on "backorder" where it may take 5-7 business days for it to be received.

If no phones are available and backorder is not an option, you may qualify for a substitute where you can choose an upgraded model of the current phone.

If the phone is not available to be backordered and no substitute exists, it is considered a repair which may take 1-2 weeks to return to the store. (it is the same unit that is sent to be repaired).

If any of these above conditions cannot be fulfilled or produce a working phone for you, Geek Squad "Junks-out" the phone (as stated in a post on the first page of this thread) where you get the full retail value of the phone when purchased to redeem in store on another phone.

I hope this clears up any misconceptions.

I have the note 2 lte, and I installed the Jedi ROM. However when using earphone page for page buddy, there is no widget there or anything. So its empty. Is there a way to fix it?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobbieCrash:
Is there a way to get the name of the artist that is playing in Play Music to Tasker?

I know that the GoneMad Music Player supports %MARTIST out to Tasker, but it cannot stream from my Google Music account.

Perhaps this isn't even the best way to accomplish what I'm trying; what I want is to display the artist's name and the track name when music is playing, and to hide all text when it is not. I want to do this on the desktop, as well as on the lock screen.

What I've been able to do so far is to have Tasker send the variable %MTRACK to a variable named %CURRENT_TRACK because when the music stops or is paused, %MTRACK does not update. Tasker checks to make sure that music is still playing, and if not it sets %CURRENT_TRACK to empty. Minimalistic Text displays this, and is updated by Tasker every time %CURRENT_TRACK is changed. I would like to replicate this behaviour with the artist name as well.

Ideally the music controls would also disappear, but that I'm sure I can accomplish if I bang around in UCCW for long enough.

Phantom Music Control works on the lockscreen, but the widget doesn't disappear when running on the desktop for me.

- 'fix permissions' works

- the backup archives can still be opened by renaming .tar.a to .tar and easily be edited

This already makes some things easier. Let's see what else is in there...

edit:

- couldn't mount sdcard. Anybody else can confirm that (maybe a win driver problem)?

Tried turning it off and it don't stay off and can't mount sd as mass storage, so guessing it can't flash boot.img but not tested it.

Plus 100.

Black wing Is a hell of a dev and I'm sure he will fix the broken stuff.

But as Darky said there's features in twrp like flagging boot that cwm can't do. Maybe more time will tell.

Either way, there's a new dev here for y'all. :D
[HTC One S] blackwing182:
UPDATE

1 or 3 things are fixed, Clockworkmod Poweroff no longer exist blame koush for that :( , SD mas storage dont work for the moment, but now you can flash boot.img in recovery w/o any kind of problems.

please repor any problems so i can track them down and fix them.

enjoy

P.D.

THIS IS AN ALTERNATIVE RECOVERY SO IF YOU DONT LIKE IT OR WHATEVER, PLEASE DONT FLAME THE THREAD OF UNNECESARY COMENTS
[HTC One S] Evil-Monkey:
YES!

I love CWM and it sucked that it had some bugs but I always new it's limitations and never tried TWRP. Not hating on it just felt since I paid for CWM back in the myTouch 3G/4G days I wouldn't abandon it unless it was completely useless[which its not].

So are you working directly with Koush or are you just fixing what you can to make it function better?

Also, when I downloaded from your link it wasn't a zip, just the disc image.. OP says extract but I'm guessing that's not the case.

either way, gracias!
[HTC One S] Darknites:
See told you people wanted a fixed one.

Ya it should end as .img just like boot.img.

Re: [RECOVERY][S4] ClockworkMod v6.0.2.8 Touch for HTC one S

No lol, but just in case re-store in twrp and then flash cwm and make a back up.
[HTC One S] Evil-Monkey:
its cool, I still have my older recovery. worst case i'll just re-install other recovery.

I'm going to make a back up and re-install it using new recovery since thats what I do most and flash a mod or two to see how they react but I wouldn't know much more past that cause i'm not too knowledgeable on how I would know what's "not" working.

There's no way to exit "install zip from sideload" once you accidently press it -_- lol

- USB Mass Storage - Not Working [ driver's not properly installed]

- basic back up and restore [ work ]

Will Add to this If I run into something.
