[Motorola Droid RAZR] JTCGiants56:
Well I downloaded the new jellybean zip that just came out for the razr. I loaded it into sd card and then rebooted into clockword recovery. I wiped, data/cache and then tried to install the jellybean zip from the sd card. It gave me an error '"assert failed: file_getprop("/system/build.prop". "ro.build.fingerprint")... (much longer). I rebooted my machine, and since I had wiped data/cache it booted right into a fresh install of ICS.

I decided to try to reboot back into clockwork recovery and try to redo the jellybean install from the sd card in case the previous try was a fluke. I ended up getting the same error. So I just said **** it, I'll restore back to a nandroid backup I had made two days ago. During the restore it said that it was unable to restore the "/system" partition. Since this didn't work I thought I'd just wipe data/cache again and just go back to a fresh install of ICS again.

Except this time it just boots into a black screen. All the lights on the bottom of the keyboard are lit up, but nothing is displayed on the screen at all. I believe the phone is on but I do not see any display on the screen at all. Just black. When I hook it up to a computer I am able to access both the internal storage as well as the sd card.

Anybody have any ideas? Maybe I can try loading ICS on the sd card and try flashing that?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
My guess would be your backup might be corrupted, system partition is where all the important stuff is, so if it wasnt flashed, your phone cant boot up. Your computer recognizing it is a good sign. Use RSD Lite to reflash a stock ROM from motorola. Some of the stuff i have read about flashing the jb zip are suggesting that anyways after (I haven't done it yet myself) In regards to your backup, you can try it again, but you may have to start from scratch..... You do have your apps backed up with titanium right?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JTCGiants56:
All of my apps are backed up with titanium but at this point I really just want a working phone lol. My backup got stuck on the /system partition and that is exactly where the jb rom got stuck on. So for whatever reason I can't write to it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lukesdiesel:
You only flash this in stock recovery. You must be on stock ICS .211

[Motorola Droid RAZR] JTCGiants56:
Damn, I was running .173 from a while ago. Never even bothered to update to .211 since .173 was running so good. RSDlite isn't even seeing my phone at all even though it is technically turned on with no display.

Edit: Nevermind. I was able to use a utility to restore back to stock ICS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koocha:
Hi All

I'm running the stock Jelly Bean (4.1.2) on my Note which is rooted.

I changed the LCD density by editing the build.prop after reading changing it to 213 would make it like the Nexus 7 interface. However, I'm now in a boot loop.

I have a copy of the original build.prop but I can't adb push it to my Note because I get a permissino denied error. If I try to adb root it tells me I can't do it on production builds and remount tells me the operation is not permitted.

Any chance this can be sorted without me having to flash the ROM again?

thanks in advance

EDIT: I originally flashed the ROM with Mobile Odin Pro and injected root. I don't really want to flash the ROM again as I'd lose root. I have the backup build.prop on my hard drive and also on the external CD card in my Note. Can I use adb shell / su / mount to copy it over?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
I dont know about adb, there is cwm flashable zip thought in which you can put the buildprop you want to flash.

Best to use romtoolbox for changing dpi, that one is pretty safe. if you have two entries in buildprop chsnge both to desired density.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koocha:
Thanks for the info, but I' have stock recovery so wouldn't be able to flash that, would I?

Is another option making my own update.zip and having my restored build.prop in there?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
then you are probably right with adb. Not sure if it requires root.

I know of no other way myself, cant help you there, short of what you said reflashing entire rom

Use this PhilZ Touch 3.0 Recovery to be flashed from stock recovery then flash the Aroma file manager. now you will have a recovery file manager. now replace the build.prop with the backed up one, fix permissions and reboot.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnny95:
Hello,

I got a 'little' problem, I think that my HTC Desire HD is bricked.

And I dont know how, because when I woke up this morning, I tryed to boot my Phone and it just didn't.

I've noticed that my orange led was blinking, so I removed and reinsert the battery, so i could start up my phone again. That worked fine,

but when it reached the white screen with the green HTC logo, it's just got stucked in there and it won't do anything anymore.

So I rebooted into the recovery screen (with On/off button + volume down) and choose for Recovery, but that didn't worked because then I got stucked in a black screen.

The last thing that I tryed is to use fastboot, but if I choose for bootloader it kicks me back in the recovery menu.

I have installed HTC Sync for the drivers, but still don't know what to do further.,.

(When my SD card is needed, I could put it in another phone to change or place files on it.)

I already appreciate your time for this and I hope there's someone with a solution for me.

Best regards,

Donny

Ok, so I've a few days reading the gi-normous amount of threads throughout these forums (very insightful by the way) and have yet to find an actual response to the question of what is causing me to get the error message "Tar header contained an invalid file size" when trying to use Heimdall Frontend to "hopefully" reflash my new Samsung Duos S7562. Unfortunately for me, I removed the battery from the phone when it got stuck doing the Samsung software updater and since then has been stuck in bootloop. I can get it into download and Heimdall actually detects it but can load the firmware package. Before you ask ;), I've downloaded this file multiple times, using different browsers (Safari, Chrome and Firefox) as well as doing so through Linux using VBox, dowload other firmware version and also used different versions of Heimdall (1.3.2, 1.3.1 and 1.3.0). Same issue in all.

OS: Mac Snow Leopard 10.6.8

Phone: Samsung Duos S7562

Firmware: S7562XXALHB_S7562ATOALH1_S7562XXLH5.tar.md5 (contained in a zip file of course)

I've seen where a couple of other people have asked as well but no one has ever received an answer; at least not in the forum for me to see as well. ;) The one topic started on cyogenmod was referred to the XDA Heimdall thread which, although quite LONG and educational, never really addressed the issue to completion.

Anyway, can anyone explain why I'm getting this error and MOST IMPORTANTLY HOW I or anyone else still trying to figure it out can get around it? Would greatly appreciate it from the brain trust we have here. :fingers-crossed:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaitlyn2004:
Had a question about NFC tags... I'm seeing a bunch of coverage on them lately and it looks like it indeed could be useful.

It seems you would almost need 2 tags per "action" though.

I'd love to have one at work, but wouldn't I need one for "arrive at work" and "leave work" to turn on/off certain things?

I did see (at least some) apps that make use of TOGGLE - however, what if for example I had a Car NFC which I want to turn on bluetooth when I get in, and turn it off when I get out - what if I happened to enable bluetooth earlier - maybe listening to a bluetooth speaker? This would create an inconsistency and kind of break the toggle (assuming I was toggling multiple things, at least...)

Still trying to read through and thoroughly understand it - any insight from people who actually use these on a daily basis?

Seems like these NFC taskers need to create a new service to always listen to NFC - is that true? Are they battery killers?

Lastly - any recommendations on where to pick some NFC tags up? :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinliu2336:
I'm no NFC expert but I do use it with the Tagstand NFC Task Launcher.

1. You don't need 2 tag with NFC Launcher for, like you said, it can toggle. Toggle works by performing Action 1 the first time its scanned and then Action 2 the second time its scanned.

2. Say, for example, Action 1 says to turn on Bluetooth and Action 2 says to turn it off. You scan it and it performs Action 1 but its already on, it will do nothing (wont create some universe shattering paradox :)). Then if you have take the phone off the tag and scan it again it will turn Bluetooth off (Action 2) and then loop back to action 1 and so on.

3. On our phone, if not all of them (idk), the NFC chip is only on when the screen is on. A mod found here enables it to be on always but this eats battery life.

4. I currently use Tagstand's own NFC stickers from their store and they are pretty cheap and work great. buynfctags.com has then cheaper but the blank ones have a minimum order of 5 and the custom printed ones have a minimum order of 250.

VERY IMPORTANT!- The Nexus 4 wont work with Mifare Classic 1K Stickers, these include Samsung tech-tiles, because they use proprietary standards (see here for more).All truly NFC compliant tags will work, eg. The Type 2 (NTAG203) and Type 1 (Topaz 512) stickers.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neoprimal:
NFC stuff is great, don't get me wrong. But there are alternatives so I just wanted to offer some suggestions just in case you weren't aware. I'm writing this based on your "work" scenario.

I do a LOT of the stuff that you can do with NFC Task Launcher etc. with automation apps. You can in fact, do all the basics you can do with NFC with automation apps, the bonus of NFC is being able to pin point areas and to design complex macros. I've used Tasker in the past but right now I use llama primarily.

For me, NFC is more of a boon in "trusted" areas, like in my home, my car or say at work vs. out and about. I'll admit I'm slightly paranoid about nfc scanners/readers siphoning information right out of my phone. It's very highly unlikely but tech has gotten all the better and thieves are getting super creative - we're also making it so very easy for them. The culprit would have to be close to me and in case of our devices, the screen would need to be on, but that wouldn't be difficult in a cinema or in a crowded area. My habit right now is to disable it unless I'm home or have a reason to use it while out. Eventually I'll source a nice case for my phone and tablet that blocks it, then I can leave it enabled.

So, yeah...keep the alternatives in mind if you're just interested in basics. I set my wife's llama to set her phone to the silent profile when at work. She's not allowed to use her phone there but I hate her turning it off because sometimes she doesn't remember to turn it on when leaving but rather when driving on the way home. So her llama sets the phone to full silence when in her office and as soon as she leaves the garage it sets it to normal.

As I mentioned, with NFC it's more about the ability to pin point within certain areas and design more complex conditions. For example, llama can detect when I leave my home but it can't detect when I've moved from my office into my kitchen or into my bedroom. This entire area is just, Home. Maybe it could if I trained it but goodness knows I would hate to have to set adjustments based on each of the areas in my home anyway. NFC allows you to focus on the actual area. I haven't found a whole lot of use yet for my tags, but I do have one in my kitchen and bathroom which starts music on my N7. Of course, that's just really, really lazy of me vs. useful. There's also one in my car's phone mount that is set to turn on navigation when I mount the phone but I don't use that one since I have to enable GPS manually anyway.

Kevin has said everything re: the use of the tags and the stores. Some additional stores are here. Like him, I got mine from Tagstand because they look nice, were pretty cheap and they do try to beat competitor prices.

Good Luck.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donec:
Does anyone know the real max range possible of the NFC system the Nexus 4 uses or the range other devices can interface with it at? I guess really I am trying to find out if there is a way to increase the range from the official .2m / 8" to something farther away. I am trying to figure out how far away from my phone someone needs to be to read my info if I have my NFC turned on?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpartusTana:
well for the chips in our phones, it usually needs to be within 1 inch, like a key fob RFID scanner. I've heard CLAIMS that people can do it from across a room, although I don't believe the chip has enough power to make such a connection at that distance. (Someone correct me if I'm truly wrong, because I'm curious too).

For NFC chips, it usually requires that the chip touch a specific part of the back of the phone. Same with Google Wallet on pay pass. NFC is pretty neat and can be used for various things. Like wallet, tags, sharing items with another phone, etc.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hollywoodfrodo:
Well, the confusion is in the word "Toggle" - instead for NFC Apps let's call them "Switch Tags". This means the first time you tap them, the execute one set of commands and the second time you tap them they execute a second set of commands. But these commands can be anything. So for example you wouldn't have either set of commands "toggle" Bluetooth - instead, you'd have it "Turn BT On" or "Turn BT Off". If you're BT was already in the state then nothing would happen.

NFC was developed to use very little power - part of the reason why the range is very small and you have to pretty much tap a tag. The affect on your battery leaving NFC enabled will be barely noticeable. The apps themselves are not "always on" - the tag is programmed to trigger the app when your phone's nfc antenna detects the tag.

As for where to pick up tags, of course I'd recommend AndyTags, but I'm biased. :) You can check them out, but there are lots of great places to get tags. For the Nexus 4 phone, make sure to get NTAG203 tags.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prelude38:
Hey I am still confused on these NFC Tags. I watched some video on how it works and it looks pretty awesome but i have some questions.

For example. I have a phone holder in my car. i only use it when i use my GPS. i want to paste an NFC Tag on the holder so every time I place the phone in the holder it turns on my GPS, launches my GPS app, and maybe turns off my Wifi. From what I have seen this can easily be done.

Here is the part I am confused about. When the phone is in the holder it will be right beside the tag. What effect does that have on the tag? Is it constantly communicating?

The feature i really want is this: when I remove the phone from the holder and away from the tag can I program it to turn off the "car settings"?

So I am wondering if I can use a phone holder and NFC tags to create a dock(without the charging). Put the phone on the dock and leave it there and it changes to "car settings" and keeps it at that setting. Take the phone out of the "dock" settings turn back to non-car settings.

everything i see involves tapping.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksilver89:
The tag is only a marker, in Stock ROM you need to actually unlock your phone before your NFC will start pooling (There are mods for this so no worries). The actions are all programmable depending on what kind of apps you use to program it, that's all!

Personally I find tasker to be more useful than NFC tag. I don't buy all the marketing gimmicks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thfreedumb:
I have started to tinker with NFC tags.

Is there a way to start the stock android clock timer (from zero or a countdown from a preset time) using nfc tags? I tried NFC task launcher but it just uses their own in app timer, which im not a fan of (it doesn't show time remaining/elapsed and all that stuff). Or maybe an automation app that can be triggered by a nfc task.
