[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Itoshii:
I tried going back to stock rom. I used odin to flash chainfire's quick root (i317). Realized what i have done because I did a complete system wipe first and didn't put the stock rom on first before using chainfire's quick root. So now I sit at the Note 2 screen. I can get to download mode and to recovery (stock recovery because of chainfire's quick root). I have tried flashing a back up but it comes with an error "E:/ file not signed" or something close to that and it aborts. I tried using odin to flash stock rom back to it (i317ucalj2_i317attalj2_att.tar". It starts and it just sits there i get no progress bar on odin and on my phone I have a full progress bar. I thought since it's 800+mb it would take a while but 45 min later nothing had changed.

Any thoughts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Froid:
You could use Odin to flash the custom recovery you had before using cf auto root. Then you should be able to restore your backup and start over.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Itoshii:
I'll try that thanks for the quick response.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] icd-evil:
I did exactly what you did yesterday through a different series of events, then just reflashed TWRP with Odin. No need to panic, you can even use the Note 2 Toolkit to reboot download/recovery if you're having trouble with the button combo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Itoshii:
Okay thanks for the reassurance I was panicing pretty bad. I live out in the middle of nowhere and my phone is my only source of internet at my home so it may be a day or two till I can do this. I will post if this fixes my problem.

Some of my Text Message conversations on my phone show up with Phone numbers and not their name. They all seem to be ones which have +44 (UKs country code). If I click on the thumbnail next to the number though, the correct contact pops up.

Any idea how to fix this?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0vermind:
Seen this problem before. Is the proper area and country code with the + affixed to the number in the contact? This is the only time I've seen this problem is when it's not properly formatted. Don't put in parentheses, dashes, or dots either.

If the number in text messages is showing as +445555555555 then the contact number saved should be exactly the same +445555555555.

[HTC Radar] mathematricks:
Hi

I have a HTC Radar on Orange (UK) which I updated to 7.8 using the seven-eighter tool.

Everything seemed to have worked fine. However, the battery life which used to last a day and a half has become reduced to around 10 hours before the low battery indicator starts showing.

I know that there's a bug with some live tiles not updating correctly, which severely reduces battery life, so I removed the HTC weather tile which was blank when I updated. There are only a few tiles now which aren't standard Windows tiles (Connectivity shortcuts for wifi, Whatsapp, Tango, myfittness pal, and Tango) but I don't think they update using any sort of server?

Has anybody else has an issue with battery life on the HTC Radar after forcing a 7.8 update?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loliori:
Hi,

so yeah... I got two fatal problems that completely block me from doing anything on my phone.

It started when suddenly my phone's screen turned black, and after a restart it keeps taking me to a screen when it asks for a password to decrypt my data, blocking me from reaching my phone.

So I wanted to recover the phone to fix it, but when i enter fastboot and choose recovery, after a few seconds it shows a picture of the android logo with an exclamation mark on it, and I cannot get into the recovery screen.

Each problem prevents me from fixing the other one, any ideas of how can I save my phone?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _android_:
Download a custom recovery for crespo. Get your phone into fastmode mode and flash the recovery image.

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img

Then select recovery in fastboot menu.

Encrypt problem is reported in this thread earlier. You may have to do a full wipe and flash a new ROM.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loliori:
I downloaded the google factory image, but when i run fastboot -w update image-soju-jzo54k.zip (tried two different ones), it fails when trying to write to the system partition (FAILED remote: Write fail).

the other partitions work, but something prevents me from updating the system partition no matter what zip i use, tried many.

any ideas?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _android_:
Please provide complete log messages shown on PC and phone.

Which phone did you have? soju is for i9020t, and sojua for i9020a.

Try to format data/cache/system via clockworkmod recovery first.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loliori:
I wasn't able to find the exact model of my phone, but since soju failed flashing and sojua succeeded, i assume it's i9020a.

Anyway, I tried to format data/cache/system via cwm recovery, and after system succeeded, the phone starts "restoring data...", and after a few minutes it stops with the message "Can't mount /data!"

perhaps the reason i he can't mount/restore /data is the reason I'm getting the encryption problem in first place, is there any way around it?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _android_:
Model is printed on IMEI sticker at back of phone under battery.

Format data/cache/system before flashing sojua image. Skip format system if giving problem.

fastboot -w update image-sojua-jzo54k.zip

Or try running the batch file as is, and it will update bootloader and radio to latest version as well.

flash-all.bat or flash-all.sh (linux)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loliori:
ok so soju is the right one for me.

I followed your instructions and now, and it fails writing the system image, the cmd window pretty much looks like that:

checking product...

OKAY

...

... (more ok checks)

sending 'boot'

OKAY

more OK sendings

sending 'system'

OKAY

writing 'system'

FAILED (remote: Write Fail)

I also tried using the batch file and although the window closes before i can see if any error happened, i get the same "FAILWrite Fail" error in my fastboot screen status, so I assume the same problem occurs.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _android_:
What about formatting system partition via cwm? Failed too?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loliori:
no, formatting system partition works. every partition format works, but i still can't update through fastboot.

How about flashing a new ROM say CM10.0 + gapps-jb-20121011 via CWM?

flashing gapps seems to finish but when i flash CM i'm not sure wether it was installed correctly. it just says

finding update package...

opening update package...

installing update...

and then goes back to the cwm recovery menu, as if it finished.

anyway, i tried rebooting after flashing both and my device gets stuck right after starting, i get the google logo and then the screen just turns black and seems to process forever, and nothing happens afterwards, it's just a black screen.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _android_:
You should Install CM then gapps.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loliori:
yeah I flashed CM and then gapps.

Interestingly tho, none of the google factory images manages to flash through CWM. they just say update failed without any informative error, while CM and gapps seem to succeed flashing
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _android_:
Google factory images are only flashable via fastboot. But there may be CWMed (cooked) versions available in XDA.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loliori:
It seems like no matter what rom i flash, it either gets stuck while the phone is loading, or the phone loads and i get this "type password to decrypt" window.

I have stock nexus 7 16 GB Asus version but I don't like it mobile phone like home screen and top bar. I prefer more tablet Like layout with a bar at the bottom like honeycomb. Should I install a different ROM or is there any app for my wish?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br0adband:
If you want a consistent and excellent tablet UI ROM, there's only one option:

Paranoid Android 3.0 which was just updated to 4.2.2 but it's considered a "nightly" build which means it's in testing, and yes it has a few tiny bugs. Bluetooth requires a patch on the ROM (the patch is already out and ready to be installed after you install the nightly ROM released on February 14th).

On top of that you can use a custom kernel to make things even better, like franco.Kernel or what I use which is M-Kernel a37 and I highly recommend it.

In the long run the only person that can choose the best ROM for your Nexus 7 is you by installing and testing different ones until you find one that does everything you'd like and do it well.

Good luck...

[General Questions and Answers] kalebnorman:
Hello everyone,

I am at a crossroads in life, I have an upgrade and I am not sure what phone to pick.. I know that we have all been at this place. I basically have it narrowed down to two phones, the droid DNA and the Note 2. I have been going back and forth between the two as of now I am leaning a little bit more towards the Note 2.

Here is some background info on me.

I am in the military and I sometimes go long days without a charge, range weekends, drill ect. I enjoy watching movies and playing games during my downtime so the phone will see heavy usage. I am not one of those people who talk for 5 mins a day and send a few text. I look at the note and I see the battery life and storage capacity for my media a long with tons of multitasking options and then, I see the DNA with that perfect screen and sleek look and feel. I just don't know what to pick I need to make up my mind soon. Any advice and opinions would be helpful. I have used only droid phones in the past, currently a droid razr.

Picking a phone is 100% harder than joining the military I swear.
