[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bazzix:
just a quick update, I ran in recovery mode and did an fsck on the 9 and 10 partitions, i got a lot errors that got "fixed" by fsck. After that I just reflashed the CM10.1 nightly and it made it past the boot screen. Not for long though. After restarting it didn't get past the boot screen again.

I gave up yesterday night and just started downloading the latest official GB. This morning I flashed it with odin and it kind of worked, until i got force closes in the wifi settings step of the setup wizard.

Now it boots into android but doesn't get past the wizard screen. I will try flashing the GB rom once more through odin, maybe that fixes some things.

any other suggestions? If it is the battery, would it make any difference if it was plugged into the wall charger while starting the phone?

---------- Post added at 12:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

another update: I did a factory reset on the GB rom and am using it while connected to the wall charger. It seems to be working OK like this. So I guess I need to find a battery and try to restore my apps and settings
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bazzix:
Another update, I ordered a brand new genuine battery and now it seems to work stable again. I just used it as a mp3 player and to surf for a few hours and no instability issues anymore, boots up perfectly.

Original battery was dated november 2011. The new one (also genuine samsung) is from october 2012 I believe.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koline:
Hey guys, last week I installed MROM (http://www.montuori.net/android-mrom/atrix-mrom/) and had been using it without having any problem, I loved it. Yesterday, I heard a kernel that can be good for battery life so I wanted to install it. (http://www.montuori.net/android-mrom/atrix-kernels/ sv build) I installed it and first boot took about 10+ mins. but after first reboot it was normal. And I started having problems like it freezes and the phone shut down itself. sometimes restarts itself. and when using an application (like facebook, dolphin browser, games etc.), it suddenly closes the application.

I also tried to install other kernels but it gives me an error when I try to install it (installation aborted error) . how can I go back to my first MROM times? but I don't want to lose any data in my phone like my applications and settings. How can I do it? Can anybody give me some advice?

Also, what's that MROM update.zip? Is there anybody who knows it? If I install it, does it solve the problem that I'm having?

If I install MROM again, does it delete the apps in my phone? Its an emergency guys, I can't use my phone normally. Thanks in advance.

Happy new year!!

Wipe cache & dalvik cache, then reinstall mrom. Your apps, etc should be unaffected.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barry_:
you could try to re-install MROM and see where this gets you - do not wipe any data/system when installing and you should have everything still on your phone.

IF that fails to solve problem you could try and use Titanium back up to save YOUR apps (not system apps) and then do a full wipe of your phone and re-install MROM

I'm around for a bit so will check on how you're doing

good luck :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koline:
when i try to reinstall, it gives me the same error. now im going to back up my all apps and after that factory reset and finally will try to reinstall mrom. I'll write when I do this. thanks

I did everything right, wiped all data cache and tried to reinstall mrom but it gives me the same error :/
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barry_:
what happens when you turn on phone?

are you able to install another rom?

It might be an idea to download a fresh copy of MROM and see if that helps?

also, after putting the new rom on the phone but before installing go to 'mounts and storage' (in the CWM menu list) and format the following 'pre-install, system, osh, data and cache'

I hope that helps.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koline:
really thank you for your advices. I did everyting you said step by step. I tried to install other ROM (CM7.2) after formatting the parts that you said, and it was succesfull. after that i tried to install google apps but it's giving me the same error. anyway, I tried to install MROM again but still the same, same error, unfortunately. I'm out of my mind. :/
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barry_:
glad that you got somewhere, If i were you I might try and repeat the steps you used with success (install cm 7.2) and then just add what google apps you need separately and see where that takes you.

Happy new Year!!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koline:
I thought, If I try all these steps from the begining, maybe it'd be successful (from stock rom!!) so that I installed back my stock rom with RSD Lite. and rooted, unlocked, installed CWM Recovery. and I have just tried to install MROM but it's still giving me the same error. I really can't understand why... It was like my first day of my phone, I did every single step from the begining, but still the same error. omg

[HTC Desire X] nightcrow:
Since removing ads from browser and apps was one of the main reasons to root my DX I decided to make this tutorial. Problem is you can't just install AdAway (link) and run it because after a reboot you'll have to do it again. This method is keeping the ads away even after a reboot. Remember that you'll have to update AdAway-hosts files regularly.

All credits go to Yasir Javed Ansari. I only finetuned the method he described a little bit. Because his post is somewhere in another thread it seemed right to make a tutorial for it in the themes and apps section.

First of all you'll need a properly rooted DX with superuser 3.1.3 installed. See here for a zip to install superuser and busybox or here to download a pre-rooted 1.18 stock deodexed rom with superuser and busybux installed provided by infernal77. I'm using this rom on my DX and removed a lot of bloatware with Aroma (link) right after flashing the rom. Credits go to merovig for sharing info about flashable superuser/busybox-zip and Aroma and of course to infernal77 for providing his deodexed stock rom. Although it seems that this method shouldn't be necessary when using a deodexed rom I couldn't get it to work without using the command lines, so I decided to share it anyway.

In settings - power, uncheck 'fast boot'.

Install AdAway from Play Store. Run AdAway (don't download hosts files yet) and go to settings - preferences. Check 'allow redirections' and under 'target hosts file' select '/data/data/hosts'.

Reboot to recovery and then mount /system and mount /data.

While in recovery-mode connect the device to a PC and open a command prompt.

Type:

adb shell

cd system/etc

rm hosts

ln -s /data/data/hosts hosts

Disconnect the device from PC and reboot.

Now you can run AdAway: download files and apply ad blocking.

Done!
[HTC Desire X] nlooooo:
Nice one, added to Index.
[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:
@op, Good job.

Although my tutorial was word by word the same, apart from maybe few spelling mistakes. ;p

Above is required for Stock Rom which is rooted.

On custom and rooted Rom , you don't need to perform above steps as system is write permitted so running ad away normally works fine.

Regards

Yasir

[HTC Desire X] nightcrow:
Hehe I know, the only thing I added was the /etc :)

Problem is that when I install for example infernals rooted stock deodexed rom, and then I install AdAway and hosts files, they don't survive a reboot. When I redirect the hosts file to /data/data/hosts AdAway states it can't create the symlink. That's why I still use your method even on a pre-rooted rom.
[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:
This symlink method(not mine) is present in ad away FAQs. So credit to the app team.

Nice guide, first time I'm adfree, even after a reboot :)
[HTC Desire X] meherzad:
did anyone get it working on desire x... mine still shows ads in apps...
[HTC Desire X] infernal77:
I don't know, after all I'm an amateur, but the problem nightcrow described about how stuff goes back to stock after a reboot is something that happens a lot with the DX's - same thing with the bloatware. I had to remove the bloat apps from a rom.zip and flash that to avoid the problem. Seems to me there is some kind of security built in that goes beyond the norm. Otherwise I don't see why apps like Titanium work to remove apps (even after reboot) for example on most other phones, but not the DX.
[HTC Desire X] infernal77:
Meherzad, I followed the instructions posted by nightcrow and it works for me ... try again, reboot and open an app you know normally has ads to check if it works.
[HTC Desire X] nlooooo:
Failed first time (forgot to uncheck fast boot:banghead:). Reinstalled and did everything again, now works flawlesly.

[HTC Desire X] nightcrow:
Might be but I'm not sure. I'm on 3.1.3 and it works fine. Although getting ADB to work in twrp recovery is a bit of a struggle for now.

What exactly doesn't work for you?
[HTC Desire X] bolzerrr:
you can do same in advanced-> execute command (or maybe shell - do not remember the exact naming)

adb was not working for me, too.
[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:
Why do you need ADB when you have TERMINAL in twrp. Just wondering

Anyhow, ADB will be fixed soon
[HTC Desire X] michpan:
Thanks for the tutorial works great with Superuser 3.2. Just to clarify something, should I leave "fast boot" mode off now?

[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:
I think you can turn it on.
[HTC Desire X] Stereo8:
If you'll not access recovery... when you need recovery, turn fast boot off...

Sent from my hTC branded muffin
[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:
hi

No dear, i think he can access recovery, even with fast boot mode ticked.

1. Remove battery, wait 5-10 seconds, reinsert, and press POWER + VOLUME DOWN.

OR

2. Use Play Store Apps (ROM TOOLBOX/REBOOTER/ETC ETC) which gain root access and allow you to reboot to recovery just fine.

Actually when fast mode is ticked on, it more or less acts as "HIBERNATE" in Windows, which is like dumping the RAM onto physical disk and then restoring when you turn it on.

But when you remove battery, that dumped portion gets cleared. or when you use ROOTED apps, they bypass that step on reboot and get you to recovery.

Hope it clears it all up. If i'm stating anything wrong, please do tell me, its just what i learned.

Regards

Yasir
[HTC Desire X] Stereo8:
I knew about the battery removal... I just didn't know about that hibernate thingy... :D
[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:
Technically it's not hibernating ...

Anyways, I see you aren't rooted yet. When are you planning to?
[HTC Desire X] Stereo8:
I'm creating an adb backup now... Getting ready for the big step...
[HTC Desire X] w1040:
Wow. Why need to do all of that to hide ads?

Just download and install adfree android from the market>reboot normally>download and install hosts and boom all ads will disappear lmao how simple was that I know right?

Plus, adfree android are much better than adaway anyway..
[HTC Desire X] Stereo8:
If you try to change the system partition while booted to the OS, everything will come back after a reboot...
[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:
I think he said it without testing it....and ad away is my personal favorite
[HTC Desire X] w1040:
Well just download and install hosts again which takes 5 seconds. Simple as that
[HTC Desire X] w1040:
pardon me of my post above but i kinda liked the adaway more than adfree android now cause adaway has much better ui.

so my question is, how to open the command prompt again?? to type those "adb shell

cd system/etc

rm hosts" thing while im in recovery mode?? :p

also i forgot how to enter recovery when my phone reboots? :p
[HTC Desire X] secthdaemon:
Since AdAway removed from Google Play, download it at f-droid.
[HTC Desire X] Rayquinox:
If I use this method, adaway gives an error creating the system link!

If I try to run the cmd lines manually outside of a map with adb.exe, (without using a .bat script) adb is not recognized as a command, might this have something to do with that?

If I run the lines manually in a map with adb.exe, I get this after the first line:

~ # ←[6n

Anyone knows what's going on here?
[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:
After you get this:

~ # ←[6n

Type this:

cd system/etc

rm hosts

ln -s /data/data/hosts hosts

According to the guide.
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
Can confirm that this is working for Jellybean too (on ICS hboot). A few steps need to be added then, like flashing recovery through fastboot and flashing back boot.img after doing the symlink.
[HTC Desire X] yippikayay27:
I have a noobish question here..

i followed the steps until step 4, and while i was in recovery, connect the device, and i tried to type adb shell on cmd, it says "adb server is out of date. killing..." (see attached file)

fyi, I put the adb.exe on c:\Android

anyone knows what's going on?
[HTC Desire X] nightcrow:
Seems like adb isn't working in recovery mode. What rom and recovery are you on?

In case your struggle with the recovery and the drivers in windows 7 maybe this can help you out:

In recovery:

- reboot into recovery and mount USB Storage

- connect device to pc and go to device manager

- refresh device manager and uninstall driver under 'USB Controllers' - 'USB Mass Storage' that has an exclamation mark

- refresh and then double click the new 'Android Phone' under 'Other Devices' and manually update that driver to 'Android USB Devices' - 'MyHTC'.

- you´ll now have two MyHTC´s and ADB will work.

- to get UMS to work manually update the driver of the one that has USB Mass Storage as an option to 'USB Mass Storage'.

In system:

- reboot to system and connect device to PC, mount USB Storage and go to device manager

- refresh and update the driver from 'USB Controllers' - 'USB Mass Storage' that has an exclamation mark manually to 'MyHTC'.

- from the two 'MyHTC's' manually update the driver that has an option USB Mass Storage to 'USB Mass Storage'

- USB Storage and ADB will now work
[HTC Desire X] Stereo8:
Htc sync interferes with adb. Turn off htc sync an it'll we work, but with the message.

Flowed from my HTC branded muffin...
[HTC Desire X] yippikayay27:
Firstly, I tried to do it from Stereo8 instruction:

I disabled the htc sync this way: i opened "Device Manager" and under "DVD/CD-ROM drives" disable the htc sync. Then I tried to type adb shell, but still doesn't work. What "with message" did you mean?

Secondly, I tried nightcrow's way (my comment is the text with red color):

Lastly, I tried to do the steps from the post #1, and it works! the ad is now gone. thank you so much.
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
On CM and PA, Adaway works without this workaround.
[HTC Desire X] Stereo8:
Yes. Cause they don't have write protection...

Flowed from my HTC branded muffin...
[HTC Desire X] nightcrow:
Glad it worked out for you in the end. It's true that when write protection (security from HTC) is disabled you won't have to follow the tutorial in the opening post.
[HTC Desire X] mhb92:
very nice guide you found and i think it can be imported to custom roms...thats for developers here :P

secondly for those who dont have a lot of experience....just use lucky patcher...

very good app..doesnt need a lot of proccess...just opens app - choose the app you want to block adds - and then it does its work..

it may be not work for new apps...but it sure work one day..

and it can patch license validation...apps that have license validation

I've been running Mazda's AOKP for a while now (version 3.4 at the time of "the incident") with no problems save a few reboots here and there. So I'm not sure this is a ROM related issue, and honesty, I'd be surprised if it were. Anyway, last night I was sitting on my sofa watching some football when I decided to take a photo of one of the dogs. So I pulled up the 3D, hit the hardware camera button and the phone rebooted. Again, occasional reboots are no big deal, but this time I'm stuck in a boot loop. A rather infuriating one. I get the white HTC screen, then quickly a black screen, then a reboot right back to the HTC screen. I can't get into recovery (goes to the HTC screen then reboots immediately). I'm on HBOOT 1.5. Stock Kernel. 4EXT recovery. And I've reflashed the boot.img and a couple of different recoveries (from adb). Still the same thing. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Can you get into recovery from the boot loader?
[HTC EVO 3D] samdu:
I installed the RUU, didn't help. I didn't wipe anything, because I'm not sure what the commands are to do that through fastboot/adb, and I still don't have recovery. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] samdu:
No recovery from either the bootloader or fastboot. Trying just sends it back into a boot loop.

If you successfully flashed the RUU the stock recovery should be installed. Were you able to boot into the stock ROM after flashing the RUU? You really need to accomplish that before trying anything else.

The stock recovery should be there, but I can't get to it. I'm still boot-looping. When I choose recovery from the bootloader, I just get the HTC screen and an infinite boot loop.

Copied it over to the phone's SD card, booted into the bootloader, and let 'er rip. Last night I did extract the system.img, boot.img, and recovery.img files out and flashed them to the phone with fastboot. System.img wouldn't go, however. Oh, and I did find the commands to wipe the partitions from fastboot (./fastboot erase system), but kept getting a "remote: not allowed" on everything except the cache partition. Honestly, I think the phone is a goner. I've been looking around for a replacement. Sucks. :rolleyes:
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
That still doesn't answer my question about whether you were able to boot into the stock ROM after flashing the RUU or not. If not, either the RUU flash was not successful or there is a hardware problem with your phone (or both).
