Pretty dumb question, but I just wanna be safe. I'm on Slimbean 4.1.2 right now, and I'm interested in going over to Helly Bean 4.2. Is it safe to do so? I saw Helly Bean uses Devil kernel, and Slim uses Sephamore. I don't wanna brick my phone. Although I will do a nandroid just in case.

Thanks in advance. :thumbup:

Don't worry, the only way to brick your phone is to flash bootloaders using the computer. Just flash it.

So I was playing around with Kitchen and bricked my phone. Used Odin to flash back to factory and it didnt work. I can get into Download mode but when I try to go into Recovery it just constantly restarts. Any suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
Odin the cwm or stock recovery again? Check your md5 before doing it. I goofed in a triangle away and recovery wouldn't load and would get stuck at the boot animation. I pushed recovery and everything started to work fine. YMMV.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nicelysedated:
SO here is where Im at now. Got phone to boot and can get into stock recovery. Phone has no baseband and acts very sluggish and weird. Used odin to flash stock image again and it succeeds and goes like it is supposed to, but it doesnt do anything. Phone boots up into the exact same state as before flashing. Tried flashing TWRP via odin and same thing. Odin says success but no TWRP. I have tried 3 versions of odin and no luck.

Hi my nexus 4 is stuck on the google logo screen ,i noticed the nexus logo appear when i wasnt using the phone ,then the google logo appeared and i thought it was rebooting however it then wouldnt do anything else, i can get to the recovery screen but recovery mode and start just instantly bring up the google logo again

i did once see the android screen with the red triangle and no command written though i have no idea how i came to that screen as i was just playing with it

i have not installed or attempted to flash anything on this phone ,its exactly as i recieved it

when ive left it on the google logo for any length of time it does appear to heat up a bit :(

forgive me for being a complete noob to this sort of thing but some of the other threads ive read may as well of been written in elvish :eek:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asawoszc:
If you can get into recovery (CWM) then you can use ADB to push the file. Look through some of the PINNED threads for the commands. Very helpful info.

I found that my data partition was not able to MOUNT once and nothing I could do via ADB shell would change to it to R/W so I just locked and unlocked my bootloader and all was well again.

you can either use fastboot to push the files to your phone or flash stock. if you dont know how to use fastboot try wugs toolkit

Suggest you download a CWM version of the ROM you have, or any similar ROM (Wanam's ROMs are a good start) and simply extract the /system/media contents and copy then fix permissions.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
TBH this forum seems a bit lonely... and my EpicParts question was easily abandoned :(

Whatever, greetings and happy new year to every one out there!

Today I happen to dig out a Sense 4 ROM for our E4G which boots, doesn't reboot THAT often and is resized well (what, you want links? I think that's a private workspace and maybe I shouldn't tell). But what bugs me most is that SystemUI (statusbar) always FCs for no reason and I can't do anything with that.

So here I got a HTC Incredible S ("vivo", which is the port base for our Sense 2.1 ROM) with a fully-functional Sense 4.1 build. Everything's working and things are better sized for WVGA. And it's smooth. Considering it's a single core device, I think there is already no obstacle blocking the port (I know that Sense4All project paused because One X is a quad core device and gets all sorts of reboots. Correct me if I'm wrong).

Thus, I wanna ask, as a non-coding noob:

1) Is porting process the same as common tutorials (copying frameworks, libs, etc)?

2) If not, is this even possible (to have Sense 4.1 ported from vivo)?

3) If not, again, what can I do to improve my current build on hand (i.e. simply stopping the SystemUI FC and maybe adding more HWA)? I don't intend to use the ROM as a daily driver... Just a tool for showing off :D

So... Thanks again for reading the thread and hope you can offer some guidance :o

If there was a stable version of Sense 2.1 or 4.0, it would be my daily driver. I really hope this project isn't abandoned.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
2.1 is already very usable apart from BT (nah I don't use that), but many devs have already left or are silent. Must be with their new toys. That's why I'm trying to help. If I had time in winter vacation I'll try a bit, but hope not too high :(

And so I need some guidance and answers... Please. Even one answer will do. :)

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
I do want to, but I'm not a code dev and know almost nothing except that "brute-force" porting method, and I don't know whether that will work. :(

I mean, here I got a fully working Sense 4 build on a SINGLE-CORE device, so is this a proof that porting to us is also possible?

Sent from HTC Incredible S @ Sense 4.1
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonehunter59:
You ported sense 4 to an htc phpne which is much easier than porting it to something not even close to compatible with the hardware so it will be more difficult
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
But... I said

1) We HAD a now paused project that has ported Sense 4 and made it boot

2) I have a better Sense 4 base ROM (for our device, not HTC's) at hand with fewer random FCs

3) xboxfanj said that the port reboots because One X is quad core, and the ROM will keep searching for the extra cores. But IncS is single core and runs that beautifully (its port is based on One V and Desire X)

And that's why I'm seeking answers. :)

Sent from HTC Incredible S @ Sense 4.1
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xboxfanj:
Part of the problem is that we couldn't port qualcomm roms which would be stable if they booted, but we never got it booting. Tegra is all intercoded into libs and looks for kernel files we don't have which causes it to reboot and be unstable.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
...And why?

Sent from HTC Incredible S @ Sense 4.1
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xboxfanj:
To be honest, we never quite figured it out. We never got a proper logcat, since it only gave us unhelpful information, which means it doesn't even start to fully boot.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
And this means all my expectes efforts should be in vain, huh?

But check this, I got a Sense 4 ROM from marcusant's site and it's a port from Desire Z, based on One V seemingly. So far apart from all the hardware issues (wifi, cam, sensor), only thing that prevented me from sticking to it is that SystemUI often FCs. And I think that is another base to start on, since IT'S QUALCOMM. :o

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xboxfanj:
I think that is just the original ROM but with modified app and framework.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
Is that so? There are two items in About Phone indicating phone model. One of them says "HTC One V", which I think is the port source, while the other says "HTC Desire Z", which is the device ported to I assume. I know that these can be modded, but why the hell does anyone take the trouble to mod it to Desire Z when we are Epic 4G? Thus I think it's a Qualcomm port.

Have you looked into it yet? Or maybe it's really your work and you know about it?

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
It is possible for some ROMs i think.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ridder215215:
It is possible as long as your new rom doesn't require you to change the kernel, so you can't use ICS or JB roms. Some GB roms also require a different kernel, like MIUI. Gin2Jellybean is fine, but it also support other kernels.

There are instructions in the rom thread. It says you have to change the firmware, but I never did and my Play is still working fine. I'd just start at step 3.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
There is no need to backup your contacts, they are automatically backed up by your google account. As soon as you sign in on your new rom it will sync your contacts for you.

If you want to backup your apps you should just use the batch icon in top right and then choose the section for backup of user apps and it will backup your apps and appdata.

On your new simply re-install TB and then use restore option. If it doesnt find your backup location/show backups in batch you will need to go to preferences and choose backup folder location again.

To do all this silently (not click install on each app) you will need to be rooted and have pro version.
