[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thatdutchguy:
I've been running the ElementalX kernels on HatkaXL Rom, and they run fine, but they don't seem to be applying any of the custom settings using /etc/init.d/99elementalx. If I run it manually (using adb shell), it does work (loads all the modules, can see them using lsmod, and also adds the cpu governers, which I can see in kernel tuner).

I've been trying to figure out why my init.d script isn't running, and I'm stuck. Here's what I've tried:

* Flash boot.img manually using fastboot

* Update permissions to init.d scripts manually (they're all a+rwx and owned by root:root)

* boot boot.img manually (fastboot boot boot.img)

All of these methods fail in running my init.d scripts. As far as I can tell the init.rc inside the boot image is running the init scripts correctly (using run-parts).

Why aren't my init.d scripts running?

Any pointers on how to debug this further would be greatly appreciated.

I'm using one of the first batches of One XL's (AT&T) and am still running hboot 1.09.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ImagioX1:
I don't know anything about this stuff but I know having cpu app like kernel tuner set to run at boot can cause problems.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thatdutchguy:
Ah, I should have added that I disabled Kernel Tuner running at boot, and merely use it to verify my cpu settings/tweaks are indeed applied.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
I haven't used that rom, does it have busybox? Does 99elementalx have execute permissions (eg: chmod 777 /etc/init.d/99elementalx)

There is an easier workaround. Edit /etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh and add /system/etc/init.d/99elementalx at the very bottom. Ensure init.qcom.post_boot.sh has execute permission.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thatdutchguy:
I'll try that. I added busybox myself (I think it was already on there too though) and permissions seem to all be right. It even loads the wp_mod, but I can't figure out where it loads it.

Stay tuned to see if that worked :)

*update*

I added:

busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d

to my /system/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh, and that solved my problem.

Still wonder why it was not running init.d to begin with, since I see a similar snippet in init.rc (inside the boot.img).

Hi guys,

Using the root method on http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-root/how-to-root-verizon-galaxy-note-2-sch-i605/ I rooted the device, (I had the none OTA version of the stock software before the root!

Everything works fine got SU, etc but I cannot purchase any apps on the Play store. Free ones download fine but paid I get the following error.

Version of play store 3.10.10

"there was a problem communicating with Google servers Couldn't sign in" Only on paid apps. Email sync everything works fine.

I tried clearing the cache,factory reset twice, Nothing works? Any idea's? It's pissing me off. Removed account reinstalled, cleared cache for play store servers, uninstalled to original factory version etc.

Update. I tried using another email address and it worked fine, So why is my primary email blocked out? how can I fix this?

Update: So Apparently If anything on your primary email account is changed password etc, it also has the secondary effect of freezing your google wallet account. So yeah problem solved thread can go away now!

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TyranaTopherRex:
hello, im a pretty BIG noob when it comes to hacking and manipulating android devices. But i did manage to root my kindle fire and install the AOKP jelly bean rom. Afterwards i decided to try and get a few more apps to work with it so i edited the build.prop to try to get the app to recognize my kindle as a Nexus 7. Well it went bad....... really really bad.when i boot it up all i get is the AOKP boot screen except this time it is in landscape and never ending :(

Now when i plug my kindle in to my Windows 7 PC to Kindle fire Utility (KFU) it shows as adb status: offline and boot status: offline. Also when i plug it in and go to my devices and printers it pops up as just android (not android device). i have also tried to reinstall the drivers but nothing has happened. i am in way over my head and need some serious help. So if you could be of any assistance i would really appreciate it

thank you,

Topher

:)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eric1976mi:
Try plunging into kfu it will say offline but try booting into recovery there, that may help u get into recovery.

Do you have FireFireFire installed (blue Kindle Fire logo)?

"That's a special kind of stupid. The kind that makes me laugh."
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TyranaTopherRex:
i did install it when rooting my kindle but it is not showing up..... when i boot up it shows the kindle fire logo then shows up with the AOKP boot screen.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TyranaTopherRex:
No dice... i think its because its not recognizing as a kindle fire, but a nexus 7
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
If you r Kindle Fire logo isn't blue and white rather than orange and white (or have the yellow triangle), you didn't install FFF.

If you don't have FFF installed as a way to access fastboot and change the bootmode to recovery, you need a factory cable.

"That's a special kind of stupid. The kind that makes me laugh."
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TyranaTopherRex:
So if i do get a factory cable, will i be able to fix it?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Yes you will use it to force the device into fastboot so that you can use kfu to install fff giving easy access to recovery. Then its just a matter of doing a full wipe minus your sdcard or external storage and reflashing aokp.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TyranaTopherRex:
Thank You All

Thanks alot guys, i really appreciate it..... i thought i had a $170 paper weight on my hands! hahaha. Once i get the cable ill post back with results!!!!

Thanks again :fingers-crossed:

Thank you guys it worked great!!!! I booted up right into firefirefire with the cable!!!!
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
So I just installed IMO and I'm wondering if there's a way to separate the contact lists from each other.

I use one gmail account for work and would like those contacts to stay in their own list. It would make it a lot easier. Or at least a way to categorize them by work/friends/booty call partners... oops... well you know what I mean.

Or is there a different app that will handle most IM apps at once that I can do this with? I installed Nimbuz but it wants me to make a Nimbuz account and I don't want to do that. I don't know why exactly, I just don't like the idea. Am I crazy?

I read about one that starts with a "P" I think but I have googled again and checked my history and can't find it again. I think it was only available through their website and not on the Play Store.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landous:
I installed B145 with the kat 80b kernel and the v3 battery patch and everything looks good. I had to swipe as I was using build 81 before. Quite honestly, since I'm not running any synthetic benchmarks nor overclocking the proc, I'm hard pressed to find any difference in performance from EOS 3. Mind you, the buttery feel on this ROM (and EOS 3, for that matter) is day and night when compared to Asus's stock code. So if you're like me and waited this long to root your Transformer (I popped its cherry just a month ago, after having it for 1 year), don't be afraid to try this ROM... the best thing to have happenned to the og transformer.

One question I have is, what are you guys using to constantly restore your apps and/or settings after repeatedly flashing new ROMs? It's a pain in the neck having to reinstall all the apps and setting them up! Thank you and special thanks to Timduru and his minions ;) This thing is awesome...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederuco:
I use Titanium Backup, but I let Google install all my apps, then restore the data.

There are a few apps I have to install using Titanium (from Amazon) that I have to restore using Titanium. Those apps I have to tap the Install button and Done for each one.

I tried using the App Backup in the ROM Toolbox by Jrummy, but it did not restore all the data correctly (mainly thumb keyboard).

I also make nandroid backups using TWRP so I can quickly restore a working ROM without having to reinstall stuff if something goes south.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lethe6:
I also use Titanium Backup but with some reservations. If you're going to go back to the ROM you're running, you're much better off with a nandroid backup. TB is cool for a few reasons: batch backup/restore, system apps or just apps, etc... however you have to be careful with it.

- Make sure you always verify your backups (often). Never assume "they'll work", cause they most likely won't - that's a known issue that it fails to parse its own packages once in a while, so batch restores just lock up the entire operation and you have to forcibly kill it to start where it left off.

- Always keep a copy of the backups elsewhere than on the tablet

- Just because it backs up a system app or an app doesn't mean it can restore it, even on the same rom.

- Some stuff like contacts need to be exported then imported back especially if you're upgrading to another android version.

- System apps will almost always fail to install on another android version unless they were "hacked" to make them work.

So yeah it's a really good and powerful tool but to use with caution. Always redo full backups and verify them before you wipe/flash and always have a complete nandroid backup to restore in case of issues, like Frederuco said.

Edit: Once you're on Team EOS's roms, I dount think you have to do a full wipe anymore. I just wipe cache, dalvik and system, then flash the new rom, that way all my apps are still there. I only do a full reset if I experience issues after doing this, to make sure it's the rom and not apps, and to report to Tim from a fresh flash.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landous:
Thank you both. I'll give Titanium a try whenever I try another ROM. In the meantime I decided to go back to EOS3 build 81. I *really* don't like the new status bar on top. It specially bugs me when browsing the web since it's eating up screen real estate.

[Edit]

This is probably a known issue, but for those going back from EOS 4 to EOS 3: the directory /sdcard was copied to /sdcard/0 after installing EOS 4; so, when I restored EOS 3 from nandroid backup, the system wasn't responding as it should and some apps were very slow (I guess expecting to find their data under /sdcard). Copying /sdcard/0 back to /sdcard and rebooting made everything work much better. Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stache12:
From what I've read this is an issue with CWM. I saw frederuco mention it on the EOS 4 thread.

I had the same problem, went from build 92 to preview 145 and Titanium Backup couldn't find anything. I was pulling my hair out until I saw his post :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederuco:
If you use TWRP 2.3.2.3 the /0 directory issue goes away.

Also, TWRP IMO is much better than any CWM to date.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pigbenis12:
So here's the story so far.

I have unlocked the boot loader. I have CMW installed. I can't seem to install a custom rom, and everytime I try, it hangs up on the htc screen forever.

Phone shows s-on. Is that a problem? Current rom doesn't appear to be working properly. Super user is installed but wifi doesn't work.

Any clues?

Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
Since you are S-ON you need to extract the boot.img from the ROM zip and "fastboot flash boot.img" from your computer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pigbenis12:
Interesting. And this applies to any custom rom? What I'm getting to is, should I do this instead of the rom provided instructions?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pigbenis12:
I see now. Found the tutorial based for the One S, but I assume it applies to this, too.

Thanks. Will post results later.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pigbenis12:

[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
Sorry it took me awhile to get back to you. I'm glad you figured it out. There's a guide on the Ace Think Tank thread in General that has other helpful stuff as well.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jrhodes85:
Hey man, I'm new to htc...I've seen so many different ways to root this thing but I'm somewhat lost...which method worked for you ? Ya think you could point me in the right direction....so far I've seen bubby one click gui, that hack kit...I'm on 2.3.3, I'm not sure what kind of RUU it has all I do know is I'm feeling really ignorant about now
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
Currently there are 2 methods: unlocking the bootloader and AAHK. Both are explained in the guide in the Ace Think Tank thread in DHD General forums.

EDIT: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1824379.

EDIT 2: note that the Desire HD and the Inspire 4G are essentially the same phone. You will see more development (ICS and JB) on the DHD forums. So you can use the ROMs and unlock methods from there. Just be careful with radios.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jrhodes85:
Jesus Christ, that's a ****load of info thrown at me....but thank you....one small question...I have a sdcard that doesn't seem to work with any phone or my ps3...I'm guessing its because its the wrong format....

---------- Post added at 03:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 AM ----------

Do NOT attempt to downgrade a Inspire or DHD shipped with Gingerbread with a Froyo RUU

---------- Post added at 04:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 AM ----------

Is there anyway I can know for sure which radio is meant for each device or rom ?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pigbenis12:
Regarding your card, can you hook it up (through an adapted, if necessary) to your PC? If so, use a format tool for it (such as SDFormatter) and give it a proper format and resize (again, if necessary).

Fat32 that ***** up!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jrhodes85:
I just wanted to make sure I fully understood every instruction b4 I ended up bricking this device....I should be good to go...I'm going to format my card tomorrow with my gf's computer than use that hack kit thing and get this thing rooted....that ace think tank thread is packed full of information though..I'm quite surprised though because over in LG forums, tutorials aren't that advanced....I still don't have a full grasp on s off and bootloaders and all of that but by the looks of that hack kit it seems to take care of all that...all I wanted for now was to get it rooted so I can flash an ICS rom and get all of this bloatware removed...one thing I haven't seen though is a list of items I can safely delete....
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
I was looking through your profile and realized I hadn't responded to this.

I remove:

Apollo.apk

CMFileManager.apk

CMFileManagerThemes.apk

CMUpdater.apk

CMWallpapers.apk

Email2.apk

Exchange2.apk

Galaxy4.apk

GenieWidget.apk

MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk

NoiseField.apk

PhaseBeam.apk

Talkback.apk

Term.apk

VisualizationWallpapers.apk

I have also removed Calendar.apk and Gmail2.apk to replace them with ones from the Play Store (so I can back up their settings in TiBu) but I haven't lately. The list is up to you; that's just what I do. And if you flash a lot of ROMs you could make a flashable zip to customize it exactly how you want it more easily every time; for example, in addition to deleting stuff, mine also add a build.prop DPI change and some other small things I do every time I flash a new ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pigbenis12:
Quick question...

I can't seem to get this phone to show S-OFF. Is it possible? I mean I do have SU installed and such, obviously CWM so what am I missing here?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:

thx for any help and sorry for my english
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
You might be better off leaving it as is. When my screen cracked I found a few threads about replacing it and it messed up a lot of people's phones, leaving the touch screen not working properly.

There was one posted as a tutorial, a search should find it. It might be in the General section rather than this one since it was from before they split out this Q&A section.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
if you plan on leaving the cracks i would suggest on getting one of the cheap "screen protectors" that you can find at your mall. that way if the glass gives it wont take your finger with it. IMO

my screen is also pretty severely cracked. i did purchase a replacement digitizer for when it no longer works. for now, im leaving it alone because of the risk of it not working properly. i did put on a screen protector and even went so far as to put it in an otterbox too, to protect it. my advice is to do the same of similar. it seems the best course of action until the digitizer doesnt work properly anymore, then try fixing the screen.
[HTC Rezound] Phaded:

I know, god forbid you screw over a company that looks for every reason to charge you money right? The audacity!
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
What's to check? The screen is cracked, there's no missing that. They won't warranty a phone with a cracked screen.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Like I said before,

100 point inspection means they check to see if there are at least 100 working pixels.
[HTC Rezound] Phaded:
The reason you send in your phone does not matter to the warehouse that receives them. They just scan the barcode, which then shows as received in the Verizon system. The warehouse determines what needs fixed and fixes it. Condition of the phone isn't an issue.

So you call tech support. You tell them a speaker blew, which is manufacturer warranty covered = free replacement. You send in the cracked phone. You don't get charged. Profit. Got it?

And I did this within the last month. It works. Always has. From my Eris days to today, always works...

Hello,

I was recently attempting to flash the new Cyanogenmod 10 ROM to my phone and I've found myself in a bootloop (the logo just continuously circles). I actually know what error I made to cause this, but the problem is, I have no access to any recovery menus anymore. All I can access is download mode. I can still use Odin and connect to the phone, but other than that I'm at a loss for what to do. I have backups of everything, I just need to get the phone wiped and back to factory set and start over. Unfortunately, without a recovery menu I don't know what to do.

What should I do from here?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ssj7Blade:
Solved it.

For anyone that has this issue in the future, I plugged into the computer and ran Odin and was able to have it install a stock ICS ROM and I just started over.
