[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyokeun1234:
On Nexus devices, even if you root and then unroot, there isn't any evidence that proves that

you were rooted. One of the perks of nexus

Compared to the size of the battery and other devices with the same battery capacity, nexus 4 isn't great at all. Especially when using with 4g. This is mainly due to terrible wake lock of android 4.2. Should be fixed in later version though I hope.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] molesarecoming:
dude ... warranty. this is a nexus, you dont need to hack or exploit it, it is open by design. if you dont do anything stupid its virtually impossible to brick and you can always go back to stock. you dont need to root or carry out complicated tasks. unlock, flash recovery, install rom. done. roms on nexus are the cleanest and most stable that you can find. they're all basing on pure google aosp. no need to hack ril, hwcomposer, leaked kernels, etc. all this stuff has been cared for by google. IF you consider flashing, do it here man. :cyclops:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jee'sgalaxy:
So I read on different threads that if you have an actual secure element brick, it pops up on the phone...

Here's my situation. From the forums, it instructed to make sure to reset the wallet when flashing another ROM. Now my wallet resetting is stuck on 96 percent and have not moved since.

It was like that for 20 minutes so I took the risk and flashed the Clean ROM. now, following the guide to applying google wallet install using modaco's apk patch, it just hangs on the initialization part. "setup will take 5 minutes" and then I get a pop-up saying that the phone has to be initialized... should i just make a new gmail account, since my current gmail account states that my device is disabled on google?

I done all I can imagine and that this my last effort. I tried this " http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28356290&postcount=2724" Help appreciated!

What should I do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] slyd0997:
Try uninstalling wallet with titanium backup and reinstall from the play store. That's whats I had to do today. I'm not sure if it mattered but I could not get wallet running at work either. It got stuck on the 97% reset and also on the setting up taking a few minutes. I could not get completely resetting or setting up at work. I came home a few hours later and it set up right away on my home Wi-Fi. So keep trying.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jee'sgalaxy:
will do. hopefully it'll work tomorrow. google wallet apps are so finicky. I afraid to flash ROMs now.

I am using CM9 ROM, I don't remember which one because I was flashing it a while ago. Something strange happended to it today. When i try to run my phone it gets stuck at CM9 animation.

Make a backup of your current corrupt rom.

Flash same rom again without wiping anything.. see if that works.

If not..you have nandroid backup img.. take out whatever important data you need.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Przeszczep:
I made backup, flashed rom and phone runs but there is another problem. When I restore apps from my backup they don't work. When viewed from system settings they look like: com.sketchbook 0,00 B and gray icon with sd card. The same happened to superuser app so I don't even have su rights. Do you have any solution for this or I just have to start with new rom?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rr0yy:
Use terminal.. type su..

If your root access is broken you have root it again. There are numerous softwares.. use your pc to retrieve your data from nandroid img. Using titanium to backup app from nandroid backup doesnt work.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitemare3219:
I'm trying to install 4.2.1 just because the update message is getting annoying. I tried flashing the stock recovery and using rootkeeper to back-up root. Once I temp un-root, I go into fastboot, then stock recovery. I try to sideload the 4.2.1 zip with ADB, however it fails when verifying the system (looked to be related to build.prop.) I also flashed the stock boot.img due to using Franco's kernel but it still gives this error.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techjohnny:
My boot loader is locked, but I have the original APK and need to copy it to the /system/app parition on my phone. Is this even possible? I've trying running it as an update, Phone.zip, but it claims the signature is not verified and restarts again.

I'm not able to do anything with ADB, since the phone seems to be "soft bricked."

Anyhelp would be awesome!

Thanks,

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oSandmaNo:
You need root. Then use root explorer to copy it to system/app and set correct permissions.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techjohnny:
Ok, so I have root, but boot loader is locked, and it seems my only option is the stock recovery. It seems my phone is "soft bricked" until I'm able to obtain a signed and verified update? This is a Republic Wireless phone that was rooted, but then "soft bricked" by copy an invalid Phone.apk to the /systam/app paritition.

Thanks in advance for any help.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oSandmaNo:
You cant flash files via stock recovery. Best option to save your phone is to flash SBF
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techjohnny:
Okay, since this is a Republic Wireless XT557D, I'm guess my phone is staying "soft bricked" until something is released? I'm willing to try anything with this phone, since a replacement is going to set me back $250.

--tj
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oSandmaNo:
You can get a SBF file which is the stock firmware of your phone and flash it with RSDLite. Then your phone will be back to normal. (thats how it works for the defy)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techjohnny:
Well... There isn't an XT557D available, since Republic Wireless has created it. If there is an SBF that will work on this phone, please let me know.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazies:
is there an sbf for the Republic XT557D anywhere? Please Help...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 光保大塚:
Anything? As oSandmaNo has stated, once you have exhausted all chances of getting ADB or poking around in terminal than it seems like, from what everyone here and on the Defy/Defy+ thread, you'll have to flash a SBF. Trying a SBF from a phone which uses the same chipset could get your phone booting - though never again working with RW.

Finding which SBFs work with your XT557D could help other 'trial and error' people too - known working 2nd-init scripts or bootloader workarounds compatible with the image you get shoe-horned in may be adaptable with minimal fuss to the XT557D as well.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazies:
Hi, I was wondering if anybody has had any progress flashing an SBF to the XT557D.. i've been stuck in a boot loop for months :(

Need to clear permission question with the Theme Developer, untill then link removed and thread closed.

This is a MattedBlues theme for the great RasBeanjelly ROM.

It should also work on Stock or any other AOSP ROM! Please test this and report back!

I've also included a AOSP keyboard from RasBeanjelly 12.08 OTA that has stock look. If you want to keep the RasBeanjelly new keyboard, then delete the /system/app/LatinIME.apk from the Theme zip file.

This is a VRTheme. Its universal - thus not build dependent. Means that you can flash the theme over any RasBeanjelly, Stock or AOSP ROM build for mako / Nexus 4.

Enjoy!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clpw:
Hi there. I'm a total newbie at this and all i wanted was some pretty fonts. I rooted my brand new nexus 4 with the CLockwork mod and it was fine. I then installed the Font Installer, and when installing a font i ended up in a bootloop. The phone wouldn't move past the Nexus logo.

I entered recovery mode and cleared the cache, and did a factory reset. I also reformatted the SD card and the system (which i think is where i made a big mistake). When i hit reboot, i ended up at the Google logo, i am not even moving past that now. It's completely stuck.

When i try to go to the bootloader, by powering down (volume down + power) and then vol up + vol down + power vibrate release power -> this usually brings me to the bootloader but now i get Download mode do not unplug the device until the process is complete.

Please help!!

Am i bricked? Is there a way to solve it? Please, please help, i am begging. :( It's a brand new phone and i probably shouldn't have messed with it but i really don't know what to do and my parents are going to kill me.

PLEASE HELP.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
To get into the bootloader, just hold volume down, and then press and hold power until it vibrates. Now you should be in the bootloader. Just re-flash the system and boot image using fastboot (as per this thread).

I would like to root the device again using the method described in this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2019273 After following the instructions to flash the stock ROM i now have a stock rom installed with an unlocked bootloader, i believe (i did everything but relocking the bootloader) but i don't know what a locked bootloader means.

Again, thank you for your help!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
just leave your phone's bootloader unlocked.

having a bootloader locked = cant flash custom images (Recovery,radio,etc)

unlocked = ...... well the opposite.

but yeah you can. just if ur phone's bootloader is unlocked (theres a lock on the bottom of the screen as you boot up when it says Google.. if not present it is LOCKED, and in bootloader mode it tells you if u are LOCKED or UNLOCKED) follow that guide and it will bring you on your way.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:

^That one is super simple to use. A locked bootloader prevents custom kernels, ROM, and other Mods that people use.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clpw:
Hmmm, i do have that unlocked logo below my google when i switch on the device, but i suppose that is from the previous time i rooted it. Since the bootloader is already unlocked then, will going through the same steps again cause any problems? Because from what i gather the rooting process unlocks the bootloader + does other stuff.. so now that my bootloader is unlocked, will going through the same steps lead to a complication because it's a duplicate step?

Thanks!!

Ha sorry. 95% of the time its a "He" around here.

The best way to learn is to study the process efrant linked originally.

Also go through his Nexus 4 101 guide which is also a sticky in the general section. It contains a ton of great info. Efrant did a great job putting it together.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Actually, on this device, assuming you have root, you can still flash custom kernels and ROMs even with a locked bootloader.

And yeah, as El Daddy mentioned, you learn a lot more by doing things yourself, without scripts and toolkits. See the link in El Daddy's sig for more info.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
I think I have learned enough for now, but I didn't know the N4's loader allowed changes even when locked(guess you really do learn everyday haha). The manual way is not always suitable for someone like myself, when I first got this thing I was eager to jump straight into mods. And I read Dad's rant so I understand why you guys aren't fans of automatic methods. However if you are already knowledgeable on the topic then what's it gonna hurt to try the toolkit. :p

I bought a beautiful experia ray network locked to Orange uk and branded by them. I stupidly did a update using the SEUS and since then It's

just hangs at the SE Logo.

I cannot unlock the bootloader and have tried test point method but would not allow it.

Then I created a .ftf file from the update service and flashed that but still hangs on the SE logo

I tried a few stock roms but still hangs on se logo.

I read someone having a similar problem which turned out to be a bandwidth problem. Any suggestions

If anyone has a st18i on orange firmware like to provide me with a .ftf file or link, I would be very grateful

Happy new year to you all.

The initial boot takes longer, sometimes over 5 minutes. Flash it again and wait this time, it will boot eventually.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] docrj:
possible solution.. not sure though

The way i see it is, it might be having Kernel issues. I am not an expert but have had similar issue once on my wt19i.

are u flashing it on ICS rom ftf??? if yes.. just keep it like that and flash the appropriate generic locked kernel first alongside and see if it works.

:good:

Go to this page and see if u can find a proper kernel file from the links posted in the tables. Ignore rest of the post.

Hey Droid 3 folks, hoping you all can point me in the right direction.

My fiancee has a droid 3 and the thing is bloated to all hell and bogged down, so I rooted it and have flashed a number of ROMs for her to try and although better than stock she's still expending bad battery and slowness.

She's not a technical type and she just wants something that works. Any recommendations on ROMs would be greatly appreciated. I've tried steel droid 4.5 and 4.8, as well as maverick and eclipse. I thought the latest SD 4.8 would be best but after using it today she said the battery was horribly and it was lagging.

Thanks in advance!

P.S. what an awful phone in terms of unlocking, rooting, and ROM options, I feel bad for anyone with this phone. Long live the Nexus line!
[Motorola Droid 3] Jason Roach:
I would say try minimoto or mav rom. They are pretty much the only roms that work fully, minimoto probably has the best battery imo.

[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Minimoto has the best battery life but if you want stable as heck, you still can't beat Liberty 2, even though it's older. Minimoto has gotten a lot of stability lately as well. It might take some tweaking to get it as you want exactly but it runs great.
[Motorola Droid 3] zac413:

[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Minimoto has never rebooted on me. How did you flash it?
[Motorola Droid 3] sd_shadow:
errors/reboots, the first 24 hours after rom install do not count
[Motorola Droid 3] Khiraji:
I've tried several different ROMs, and always end up coming back to MavRom. Currently running 4.5, it's been my daily for months now. The only issue I've run into is that I need to manually reboot my phone a couple times a week, as things start getting slow and glitchy... which might be my fault, as I've poked and tinkered with it a lot, but I can't be bothered to re-install it due to laziness.

Minimoto offers better battery life, but it was sort of a pain to get everything set up and working the way I like (and a few features are omitted from Minimoto that I liked). I don't have that much experience with Liberty - had an install going for testing, but ended up having to SBF and never re-installed it. The ICS and JB ROMs are pretty cool, but the battery life isn't great and the camera doesn't work (dealbreaker).
[Motorola Droid 3] ghleyo:
MiniMoto v1.65

I'm using MiniMoto at the moment and have to say I'm very pleased. It's not an ICS or JB ROM like most wanted for their D3, but it's GB with great optimization. I have had it going since first install last week and still no problems and great performance in speed/response and battery life. I have yet to have any problems with it and most likely going to flash it on my friend's D3 as well. I'll edit if any changes or problems occur before then.

I made a backup of my ROM and flashed a new ROM, however, I want to go back.

When I attempt to hit "restore" in Nandroid backup, it says "Couldn't open directory" "No files found."

I'm running ClockworkMod Recovery V6.0.1.0. I also are unable to flash any ROM, or access my files (they won't mount.) I think I may be screwed,

My SD card also has a weird glitch, something about a folder named "1". In that folder I can find my backups under the clockworkmod folder.

Does anybody know how to fix this?

Thank you
[Nexus 7 General] JonathanBarca10:
Sounds like you flashed a 4.2 ROM and then it created the multiple profiles folder. I think other people have had this problem, try searching for the /0 folder problem on google and xda and see if they can help you better than I.
[Nexus 7 General] Colton127:
Seems as I need to update my recovery. How do I do that?
[Nexus 7 General] JonathanBarca10:
If you can boot into a ROM, then download goomanager app and give it root permissions. Then open the menu and select install openscriptrecovery and it will install the latest TWRP. However, if you prefer the latest CWM, then you'll have to download it from the CWM thread and then flash it through fastboot.
[Nexus 7 General] Colton127:
Can I flash TWRP over CWM without any issues?

Yea there shouldnt be any issues, but jusy google it first to be sure. Im quite certain there wont be because its just one recovery over another.
