[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarioES:
I know this may seem kinda silly, but I had a really similar problem and I solved it by going into Recovery and wiping everything, then I was able to flash another ROM from too manager.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmad86:
Yeah, that was the first thing I tried.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarioES:
If that didn't work I'm afraid a manual flash is your only option, don't think any toolkits will work.

Check that out, pretty straightforward and should do the trick.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmad86:
I'm a rook when it comes to the command stuff. Some quick questions and I think I can be on my way.

1. How do I open a command prompt to my ADB and Fastboot directory? I have no idea what that means. Do I make a folder on my desktop titled Nexus 7, and inside that put something?

2. I can't boot into Android so what do I do when it says "if you're booted into Android" do I just put it in fastboot and say good?

(The last command prompt stuff I did was in 2002 for my computer using Windows XP it's been a while. Kinda rusty)

I appreciate the help guys, I'm learning! I guess I could send it in, but I like the learning experience and challenge.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leonhan:
You need to download the Android SDK for that so you can have the fastboot program. Download and install that first then you can proceed to flashing a rom using the fastboot command.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarioES:
I'm not very good at this stuff either, and a manual flash was the first thing I tried. You'll get it!

If you can't boot into Android skip step 3 and go to 4, which is the same (just that you're loaded into the bootloader, which you should be able to access).

About the other issue, google it and look for a londatiga.net link (can't post links as a new user). All you need is the Android SDK
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmad86:
I found FastBoot in the Platform-Tools folder, but I double click it and a command prompt looking screen pops up, but disappears.

EDIT: Got it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmad86:
Thanks for the help
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmad86:
Ok, so I figured out the command prompt.

For those of you searching for this, and in the same situation as I, I clicked on Start>and searched Command where my command prompt popped up as C:\users\admin> and i was really confused. From there my Toolkit was in Desktop>Nexus 7 Stuff>Toolkit>ADT Bundle>SDK>Platform-Tools.

I typed in command prompt "cd desktop" and enter. Then I was at C:\users\admin\desktop> From there I entered "cd nexus 7 stuff" and enter. and on to toolkit, then the next until I was at platform tools. Then I followed the instructions and whala!

(Now I am stuck on writing "boot") i've searched and found nothing.

Hey guys, I've recently started using Google Now because Franco kernel gives me a good enough battery. But before enabling Google Now, I had disabled location Report in maps settings.

My question is the following : do I need to tick this option for Google Now to be the most effective or will it use every single feature like advicing nearby places even though Location report is unticked?

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
Not reallyyy. Unless you need to know what restaurants are closest to you when you're hungry you will need it. If location is off, the 5 day weather forecast will possibly not show. Well its much common sense. You can pretty much do anything on Google now but if it needs your location it will prompt you to enable location settings.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kmoore11:
Ok so here's what's going on. I've been running an old ParanoidAndroid for a while and wanted to upgrade to a new version. I've been using TWRP as my recovery for a long time, and although I hadn't checked recently, I remember not being able to access my internal storage in recovery. So I downloaded the EZ Recovery app, flashed the TWRP from that, and went out to upgrade to the new PA.

In recovery, I was able to make a backup, factory reset, wipe system, and wipe dalvik. Then I went into the install menu, and I couldn't access anything on my external SD. Since I previously could ONLY use my external in recovery, all my ROMs and such were on that. SO I was stuck without a ROM, and without access to one to install. It was a *****, and took a lot of tries, but I was able to get my SD mounted enough to half-way restore the backup I made (as in, it restored the system and very little data, but was able to boot). So I figured it was some issue caused by the new TWRP, so I have un-rooted, and gone completely back to stock. Unfortunately, the problem still exists.

What could the issue be? Could it be something caused by flashing the new TWRP? If so, what could fix that? Or is it probably just a hardware issue that can't be fixed? I'm leaning towards that, and since I'm back to stock, I can just get a replacement from Verizon.

Thanks for any help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Quacker:
It's likely not an issue with TWRP at all, but just an issue with external SD cards inherent to the S3 and some other Samsung devices. I had a similar problem, and within minutes of my micro SD card constantly unmounting itself, the card is now simply unusable. I haven't managed to find a solution, so yes, it's likely just a hardware issue that can't be fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
I've went through two sd cars with this phone. Most quality sd cards have a warranty, call and get that started. I called SanDisk last Monday and my replacement just came today. It sucks but they are fast. Good luck, losing an sd cars sucks.

This time around, my sd will only be for music and pics. I'll be taking it out whenever I flash something.

Hey!

My Galaxy Nexus's headphone hole is going to broken so I use BT headset Nokia BH-11 to listen music!

But since I used the BT Nokia Headsets at the first time then somehow music stopped playing and then put it back to play music..

later when I was going to sleep and listened music from my Nexus with only earphones (Sony) then the same happened again!

and today it happened many times!

I am using my modified OTA ROM (JB 4.2.1 JOP40D Takju) !

I use CM9 music player to play music, I have used it always on my Nexus!

EDIT: Some texts deleted... I have fixed the issue and also on 4.2.2 it is fixed!

[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
This is going to be a short and simple guide for S-OFF users that want to update to the current RUU level or refresh their phone because they are having issues like being unable to boot certain ROM's. You will not lose S-OFF by flashing the RUU.

1. Do a nandroid backup of your current ROM if you want to restore it later.

2. Download the current version of the RUU for your phone in exe or zip format from this page.

3. Run the exe version of the RUU in Windows or the zip version as a PG86IMG.zip file through the bootloader. If using the bootloader method make sure the file is named exactly "PG86IMG.zip" and placed in the root of your SD card before starting the bootloader.

There is no need to unlock the bootloader before running it if you are S-OFF and there is troubleshooting information in this post if you have problems. It may be necessary to run the RUU twice if you have a custom bootloader installed when it is run the first time. If the utility hangs after flashing the bootloader from Windows just cancel it and restart.

I recommend downloading and installing the OTA(s) immediately after flashing the RUU to get the most current firmware while still 100% stock, but the OTA firmware update(s) can be downloaded as a separate PG86IMG.zip file if you forget or can't do that for some reason.

4. Flash a custom hboot using the instructions in this post. My recommendation for a good general purpose hboot is the JBear GB 1.50.5050 version unless you are running an ICS Sense ROM like stock or Cool ICS that requires an ICS bootloader (1.57.xxxx or 1.58.xxxx).

5. Connect your phone to a PC and start the bootloader in "fastboot USB " mode, then issue the following command to flash your favorite recovery:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (where "recovery.img" is the name of the recovery file in your ADB/fastboot directory)

6. Boot into recovery and restore a nandroid or flash another custom ROM. You may have to wipe cache+dalvik and restart recovery if you get any error messages from the recovery program.

That's it. You're now updated or re-synced with the current firmware, the hboot that meets your requirements and your favorite recovery.

Here are some additional links that might be helpful:

4EXT Recovery OP for the Evo 3D CDMA thread with a direct link to recovery.img in the download section (not the most current version)

Current TeamWin (TWRP2) touch recovery for the CDMA Evo 3d.

Virgin Mobile OTA firmware only in PG86IMG.zip format.

Sprint OTA firmware only in PG86IMG.zip format.

[HTC EVO 3D] 3volution:
Thanks for this.

Question,the RUU links...

Am I looking for the link with the radio he has currently on his phone?

0.97.10.0530?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
No. That's an older GB level and the most current RUU for the Evo 3D is the 2.89.651.2 ICS version. That's the one I recommend.

Since he is S-OFF already it's easy to revert to a GB RUU if neccessary.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] 3volution:
I better not mess with it,lol

This isn't anything like flashing new ROM's on my phone.

Thanks though.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
You're welcome.

It's not really that difficult if you are familiar with rooting and flashing HTC devices but I can understand how it might be for users coming from other brands. Samsung in particular is definitely less complicated.

[HTC EVO 3D] Hedied4me:
I flashed the above RUU .exe and I'll get to 10%, then my phone reboots (RUU program says "attaining bootloader" or something) and go into a bootloop. Is there a specific hboot necessary to run this. I am on 1.04.200 and s-off, 1.09.00.706

I also tried updating via the bootloader method as well..... runs well....updates like four of the ten check offs and then bootloops as well.

Edit: turns out I was flashing the wrong version, oops
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
From experience I've discovered that the RUU.exe utility will sometimes stop after flashing the stock bootloader if it is run with a custom hboot installed, which is why I put this comment in the OP:

I've had no problem completing the RUU.exe flash if I just cancel the utility in the Windows task manager and restart it.

Others have reported that re-flashing the RUU.zip file through the bootloader also works if the original flash is incomplete.

Also, make sure that you downgrade your hboot after flashing the RUU since the stock hboot won't boot GB or AOSP based ROM's.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] Hedied4me:
Ok one more stupid question, after successfully flashing the correct RUU my phone boots into the stock virgin mobile. How do I get into bootloader (to flash OTA update and hboot) from here since holding power and volume down button from off no longer work.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Try removing/replacing the battery and then use the Power+VolumeDown buttons together to enter the bootloader.

The stock ROM has the "fast boot" option turned on in the power settings by default and that will interfere if you try to enter the bootloader after powering down from the stock ROM.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] Hedied4me:
Thank you very much for your patience and help Ramjet. Everything went well.
[HTC EVO 3D] El Queson:
Please excuse me this might have been asked before.

I'm currently S-Off H-boot 1.40 but still on gingerbread firmware(2.17 radio 0.97.10.0530). also flashed to Boost Mobile. My question is if I run RUU to newest build will I lose boost mobile flash?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I honestly don't know.

There is a post by a cricket user in my rooting and S-OFF guide that says the customization is not lost for that carrier but I've never used Boost and can't speak to that.

Perhaps another Boost user on these forums has experience with flashing the RUU.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] El Queson:
++sorry++
[HTC EVO 3D] ph37rd:
Using the bootloader procedure is, by far, the easiest way of doing the RUU process that I've encountered. From custom ROM, to stock, back to a custom ROM in less than 45 minutes.

ramjet, thank you for your contributions to our platform.
[HTC EVO 3D] GAPO:
so my wife is hboot 1.40, radio version 0.97.... running a GB ROM. I need to update her EVERYTHING(you pointed me here) and get her on NegaLite BluROM. I believe I will need to update her hboot as well. At what point in this process should that be done? Do I need to be worried that her current ROM is incompatible with either the new RUU or the new bootloader? And if it is, then I just work through it all in recovery?

Very useful thread, and thank you very much, by the way.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Is her phone S-OFF? If so, there is a link in the OP to a post that covers updating the hboot. If not, the only way to update the hboot is to flash a more current RUU.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] GAPO:
Yes she is S-off. She also already has 4ext recovery installed.

Does this negate my need to flash recovery in the downloader?

Since she is S-off, this should be pretty easy.

I will still need to access the bootloader via Windows cmd, yes? Or can I accomplish all of this using only the handset?

---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 PM ----------

Her hboot is:

SHOOTER XC SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-1.40.0000

RADIO-0.97.10.0530

eMMC-boot

Jun 8 2011, 17:20:22

Is this a custom hboot, or stock? I ask because of the caution on the OP regarding custom bootloaders. And I am not sure because I changed her bootloader a week or so ago and had to change it back.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
That's a stock hboot so you should be fine. You can still update using the RUU if a custom hboot is installed, but it might take a restart to complete after the stock hboot is installed.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] GAPO:
Still wondering if I can have to flash recovery if my wife is already on 4ext?

Also, in the road, hoping I can do this all via handset, C/D?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Flashing the RUU will reset everything to stock, including the recovery, so it will need to be reflashed.

Everything can be done from the phone if you have PG86IMG.zip versions of the RUU, hboot and recovery on your SD card, plus a ROM to restore or flash after the process is complete.

The links in this post should help with getting those files.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] GAPO:
Okay, so my wife is on a GB ROM now....so, I can do all of this from the bootloader/recovery without any issues? As ling as I do it properly and barring any unforeseen circumstance, of course....
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Yes, as long as her phone is S-OFF already.

Everything will be done from the bootloader until you restore or flash a custom ROM.

Also, make sure you have a way to remove or rename the PG86IMG.zip files from the root of your SD card after you flash each one or you won't be able to flash the next one. You should be able to boot the stock ROM after flashing the RUU and do it from there if you install a file explorer from the Play Store as long as you have an hboot compatible with stock like 1.58 or JBear 1.58.5858.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] GAPO:
So, after downloading the files and placing them on the root of her SD card, I will:

1) flash the new RUU(radios, etc.)

2) flash the new hboot

3) flash a stock rooted ROM

4) dowbload recovery and file managers

5) flash NegaLite BluROM

Have I missed anything/got the order wrong?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Took a couple of steps out. There's no need to flash a stock rooted ROM since the RUU includes the ROM and you don't need to root it to delete the PG86IMG.zip files. Just setup the stock ROM after the RUU flash is completed and download a file explorer from the Play Store.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] GAPO:
Thanks for the guidance. Like I said, I'm on the road now(Austin to Lubbock today), but will report back once I try it(for better or worse....LOL).

---------- Post added at 04:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 PM ----------

Oh, and according to your steps, recovery must be flashed from within the bootloader?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Only if you want to do everything from your phone. Otherwise you can use fasboot on a PC to flash the hboot and recovery.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] GAPO:
How do I flash the recovery from the bootloader? I always just download it from the Play Store.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Check my link in post #22 for a thread OP that includes links for PG86IMG.zip versions of the 4EXT and TWRP recovery, then flash it the same way you flashed the hboot.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] GAPO:
Roger that. Thanks for your help and patience.
[HTC EVO 3D] GAPO:
One thing that confuses me- If I have PG86IMG.zip files of multiple things(RUU, hboot, recovery), how do I get the bootloader to only flash one of them at a time?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Make sure only one them is the root of your SD card when you start the bootloader. That one will be flashed.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] GAPO:
So, once I flash the RUU, then I rename the hboot, flash it thru the bootloader, then rename the recovery, then flash it through the bootloader?
[HTC EVO 3D] GAPO:
Oooooookay, lemme see if I've got this straight.

1) download the RUU, hboot, and recovery zips.

2) rename the RUU to PG86IMG.zip and place on the root if the SD card.

3) reboot into bootloader. The RUU should automatically flash.

4) reboot to system, delete PG86IMG.zip. Now rename the hboot to PG86IMG.zip and place it in the root if the SD card.

5) reboot into bootloader. The hboot should automatically flash.

6) reboot to system, delete PG86IMG.zip. Now rename the recovery zip to PG86IMG.zip and place it on the root of the SD card.

7) reboot into bootloader. Recovery should automatically flash.

8) I am now good to flash custom ROMs in my wife's fully updated phone.

Oh, and I will do a full wipe prior to flashing the RUU and before flashing the hboot.

Do I have this right?

Sorry to be such a noob, but the more questions I ask now, the better off I will be for it later.....
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
The steps look right but there's no need to wipe before flashing the RUU as it resets everything but your SD card. Make sure you do the "format all partitions except SD card" in 4EXT before flashing a custom ROM though.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] GAPO:
Noted. And I plan in doing this all from my handset tonight once I get back to Austin. Will post results/pleas for help LOL. Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] GAPO:
Starting process now. Downloading the .zip file.for the RUU. When I dl it, I get a dialog window that says "this file type not supported for this phone." I figure this is because it is a zip, and not a picture or something readable without flashing it and not a problem, yes?

Again, sorry for the noob questions, but I'd rather seem a noob than screw something up.

---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------

Also, and I may have asked this before, why do I have to flash recovery thru the bootloader? Is it because I am resetting the RUU and it isn't really "on" the phone anymore the way it is when I am flashing ROMs?

---------- Post added at 05:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 PM ----------

I chose "RUU Shooter ICS S Sprint 35 WWE 2.89.652.2 Radio 1.09.00.706 NV NV SPCS 1.43 release 271101 signed.zip".

This is the correct release, yes?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Yes, that's the correct RUU.

I'm sorry but everything that is required to flash what you need from the phone has been discussed at least once in this thread. If you don't have what you need now perhaps you should wait until there is a PC available for you to use and can do it using the more common method.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] GAPO:
Sorry, bruh. This seems like the easier if the two methods and I feel pretty clear in it. All files have been downloaded, and I am going to do it between Austin and the South Texas Coast. I sincerely apologize if I have been a bother.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Not a bother, but we've covered everything you need to know to do the updates that you want from your phone and I don't like to go in circles. ;)

Good luck!

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] GAPO:
Thanks! I will.
[HTC EVO 3D] GAPO:
Alk going well, have flashed RUU, hboot and recovery. When I go to use 4ext, it says not rooted, and to install busybox(whuch I am doing). Bootloader says locked, but S-off. This is normal, yes?

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

I need to install superuser don't I?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Having the bootloader locked is fine for S-OFF users. If you need to run fastboot commands like "flash" and "boot" you can install a custom hboot like JBear or ENG.

Don't worry about superuser or busybox if you are planning to install a custom ROM. Now that you have 4EXT recovery installed just "format all partitions except SD card" in the wipe/format menu and flash the ROM you want to use.
