[HTC Wildfire S] Blue696:
Hey guys,

I'm having some issues restoring my old backup of the 'speedroid v1.4'-rom. I tried to install a new bootloader, which worked for the first startup. The phone started, afterwards i had a restart and wanted to restore my old backup without the new bootloader. The restoration was successfull, but instead of fully starting the phone, i was kept in a kind of bootloop, so it didn't kept loading and never finished.

The other day i tried to wipe the data and other caches and restored again, but same problem here.

Anybody any suggestions to get my old backup work?

Note: I use the CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.6

Greetings Blue

Extremely sorry but I don't understand what's added! I don't see anything new, nothing. Maybe this update will bring back the battery backup like before, but I can't confirm that as I've flashed just 2 hours before.

Thanks Jujuburi.. Just checked for the update and have received two updates.. 1. 59.7 mb DMA5 and another 34.x mb DMA6.. I hope the battery drain would be resolved by this.. I guess this shd be the last update on 4.1.2 and then we might get a taste of 4.2.1 etc... Although I can skip the 4.2.1 update for key lime pie wenever it gets released.. I just hope our friend Sammy releases it as soon as google does... :)

Please when you have some information about if it fix the battery drain in 4.1.2 let me know because I am quite interested in updating but I don't want to have the incredible battery drain that is posted in the 4.1.2 forums

TY :D
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Souai:
hmm, i just checked and im getting the update pushed to me too. wonder if theres a changelog.

hopefully its not along the lines of what sammobile has posted here

http://www.sammobile.com/2013/02/01...to-test-new-update-services-from-galaxy-s-iv/

i dont much like the idea of having to be in the device's country of origin to be able to update my device. i bought my device online and it happens to be a european device. i generally dont like buying device's from australian resellers since australian firmware devices tend to be the last to get updates.

edit - using complete stock unrooted rom after update, quadrant score went up from 6900 to 7100. antutu score dropped from 18300 to 17950. i'd consider these score differences to be quite negligible though.

Thanks for the tip! I plan on doing exactly that, providing I can find a car paint I like enough.

Warranty Confession

Hey all, I never actually got round to this, and thank my lucky stars that I didn't because I had to get HTC warranty service to replace my digitiser. That being said, my warranty will be expiring in April, where I will probably do crazy **** to this phone like I want to while switching to the upcoming motorola or HTC flagship.

[HTC EVO 3D] silenthatred:
I was given a phone to try to resurrect from the dead. It powers on directly to the bootloader screen and does no more. I really know nothing about this phone model. Before I start, I want to know if it is even possible. The screen says the following:

*** LOCKED ***

SHOOTER XC SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.57.0000

eMMC-boot

Apr 20 2012, 17:39:22

And then there are the normal bootloader options. Can this thing be saved?
[HTC EVO 3D] wloftus:
if you can get to the bootloader screen and access the fastboot selection,plug it into a computer and get it to read fastbootusb then its fixable,first find your token and unlock the bootloader, then from there install a custom recovery , next copy the stock ROM over to your sdcard and boot into recovery... select install zip from sdcard and guide yourself to where the file is located ,select it and let it install... from there it should be able to reboot and boot up into the ROM
[HTC EVO 3D] silenthatred:
Thanks, it does show fastboot usb...find your token? Not sure what that means. I'll search around a bit when I get home. My original Evo 4G I did root, but don't remember that part.
[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
You don't need to unlock the bootloader to fix it, and you shouldn't unlock it anyways, until you have it fully booted properly.

Run the RUU EXE from a PC for the 3.28 update (or whatever the later version is) while the phone is connected via fastboot USB mode, it will re-flash the ROM and should boot properly then.
[HTC EVO 3D] silenthatred:
RUU.EXE finds it and then gets to the restarting into bootloader step and the phone restarts. Then it just saying waiting for bootloader until it times out, but the bootloader is up on the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
This happens sometimes if you have a custom bootloader installed when you flash the RUU. Just cancel the Windows task and restart it and you should be fine.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] silenthatred:
Couple things since I have looked into this a little more. Despite it saying Sprint on the front, it is a Virgin Mobile phone. It has the OTA that came down on it, so I can't flash the older RUU. It says it is an older version. So it looks like unlocking the bootloader is my only option? Question is, how do I do that from the bootloader? I was able to get the token and have the unlock_code.bin file, but the instructions to flash it seem to rely on having a working ROM to complete it, which I don't have. The phone is stuck in a bootloader loop. S-OFF, I have the answer. But it is S-ON, so not sure what to do.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
You are right that the Virgin Mobile RUU can't be flashed when S-ON and the OTA has been installed unless you can flash a zip to downgrade your main version (mainver) and you have to be unlocked and rooted to do that.

The unlock_code.bin file is flashed via fastboot USB mode so it might work, but if you've tried that and it doesn't you may be able to use unknownforce's hboot downgrade method to get straight to S-OFF. I don't know of anyone that's done it on an Evo V 4G but it might work if you use the RUU zip file for that model.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] silenthatred:
It flashes unlock_code.bin to the phone successfully, but the next steps say to click yes on the screen to unlock on the phone. Can't access that without a working ROM. I'll try unknownforce's method when I get home, thanks for the help!
[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
Why is this? Is there not a full RUU for the latest version?

You still have to brick the device for this and I haven't been able to brick it without using a full RUU flash, which he apparently can't do?

Does it still say ** LOCKED ** Or does it say ** UNLOCKED ** now?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
No. Virgin Mobile released an OTA update in November but there's no RUU that corresponds to it available yet. Fortunately, the bootloader version didn't change so the original RUU can be flashed with S-ON if the mainver is set low, but you need to be unlocked and rooted already to flash the zip file that does that.

That would be a problem for him then. I don't know of anyway to flash the RUU with S-ON after the OTA has been installed if the bootloader is actually locked and he can't unlock it.

[HTC EVO 3D] silenthatred:
Yeah, not looking good. :( Thanks for the help though!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waallen:
I am running Paranoid Android 4.2.1 along with A11 of trinity kernel. Just like a lot of other times I had a sod which forced me to pull the battery. On the next boot up, the phone got stuck at the very google loading screen (it didn't even reach the rom loading screen) and since it was taking its time, I decided to pull the battery again and to go the recovery mode (I use TWRP) to check what was happening.

Once I accessed TWRP and the recovery log, which took extremely long by the way, I saw that it's unable to find partition size for any partition (/misc, /boot, /recovery, /sbl, /xloader, /radio) and it's of course unable to mounf system, cache, efs and data. It won't let me to any restore since I cannot access my data on the SD.

Did this happen to anybody else? Is formatting the whole thing the only solution out of this mess? I'd like not to do this since I would otherwise lose all my media data as well as apps settings.

I actually tried flashing the google stock image through the galaxy nexus toolkit:

I will try flashing with those on another computer (it still has w7 64 bit). I've never had issues flashing with galaxy nexus toolkit though.

Before returning it since it's under warranty, should I try to unroot it/block the bootloader again? If so, how could I do that? Right now after all those flashing attempts it will go to the stock bootloader (fastboot mode) right after the google logo screen where you can easily see that the bootloader is unlocked.

Update: lock state is now LOCKED after trying to lock the bootloader with the galaxy nexus toolkit. I guess there is no need to unroot it since there is no way for support people to check if it's actually rooted/unrooted if you only have access to the bootloader.

Update2: scratch what I said. It went back to UNLOCKED right after rebooting the phone.

So in thinking of gong back to ICS 4.0 just because it had incredible battery life. I'm currently on CM 10.1 and don't get great battery life.

I don't need performance as much add I do battery. Are there any real reasons I shouldn't go back, i.e. bugs, exploits, etc?

Jellybean features that I use (Not sure how many can be ported over using just Gapps):

1. Expandable notifications

2. Lockscreen widgets

3. Photosphere

4. Google Now

5. Resizeable widgets

It maybe really a matter of preference if you don't use any of these.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jzero88:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sdobron:
I doubt your battery life will still be that great. You also have to consider the battery likely has decreased max capacity due to discharge cycles.

The new power saving patches in kernels such as Faux123's really improved my battery life on 4.2. Also disabling Google Now can help immensely if you haven't already done it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
try using AK, link is in my sig, i get great battery lfie with it.. but the thing is all devices are different so whats good for me wont necessarily be good for others, thats why you should try different kernels, different settings, etc...

If after trying everything your battery doesnt get better than go back to 4.1.2(dont go to ICS lol) and wait for 4.2.2., you kight be pne of those unlucky users who are gettings horrible results with 4.2.1

I think it's just the fact that all users had brand new batteries on ICS. A year of charging cycles really decreases battery capacity. At least by 5 to 10%.

the best battery life i have ever had on the gnex was with cm 10.0.0...btw, i did not recognize any reduction of battery on the way from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2, if i think about it...but must admit also, that i never updated to 4.2.x, so i cannot say anything about that.

anyway, cm 10.0.0, no kernel changement -> amazing for me!

Agreed with this guy. Also, I don't recall it being mentioned in this thread (unless I missed it), but with JB you also get voice to text working offline. You can also download parts of Google Maps and use them without data (useful if going somewhere with no reception and you need to use GPS).
