Which tool did u use for rooting
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] scandare:
i use Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v3... after then i'm try to use TWRP but accidently wipe whole internal data.. what's a bad luck ;(
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Dragoboss:
Best option is to download a FTF file and flash it using flashtool.

I don't think you're going to get the files on internal memory back, although, you can try to use a tool like "Recuva" to scan the mounted disk after you've restored the firmware with, like I said, flashing it with flashtool.

Other thing you can try is using the Sony Update Service in PC companion to re-install your phones firmware.

Now, what did you exactly wipe? Did you use a "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" option or something like "Wipe System".

If it was the first, it's strange that your phone is in a bootloop, data usually has not much to do with the system (/firmware)...

I might be wrong about that last thing.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] scandare:
not really sure but i think wipe system or accidently maybe whole system and android secure ( maybe ).. a few hours ago, i go to sony repair center.. they tried to flash it / upgrade using SEUS but undetected device.. then they just ask me to leave that phone for 3 days minimum to solve it.. i just left it.. now i'm waiting for their answer.. hope everything okay :D.. ( i'm try using flashtool, SE bootloader , sony pc comp and SEUS also but cannot solve this problem).. now i'm blank and what to do, just sent it to repair center :rolleyes: .. if they can solve, i hope they can give me their step or solution :o
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] discipler:
I'm trying to root my Photon Q 4g lte from Sprint. I've gone through the motorola unlock procedure and had success. And I have the USB drivers on my computer and have connected the USB to the phone in order to flash the CWM image to the phone. Also the superuser is copied onto the built in SD card. I seem to be stuck at the #7 on this page <http://www.android.gs/how-to-root-motorola-photon-q-4g-lte-xt897-cwm-recovery-installation-guide-included/> which is where I hold vol up & down & the power button. When I come into the bootmode page that has several options include AP Fastboot, Recovery, and Normal startup, sometimes I can scroll down to AP Fastboot but there's no way to "select" it like the instructions say to do. And before I can really do anything more than scroll to it, the Motorola warning message pops up saying the phone is unlocked and might be endangered, etc.... Then the phone does a normal reboot.

I have been able to get into recovery by an alternate method of powering down phone, and holding the volume up and power button at the same time. The first thing that pops up is the Motorola warning message after which the screen goes to the android figure laying down with a red triangle over him. At this point I push power and volume up & down at same time and recovery opens. The top lines says I'm in Android System Recovery <3e>. This page is black with blue lettering. The next line says Android System Recovery Utility. Under that I have options to Reboot, or Apply update from external storage, or wipe data/factory reset, or wipe cache partition, or apply update from cache. When I select 'apply update", the list showing folders and files on my SD are shown. At the top is SuperSU-v0.94+.zip. So I select that and it beins to open the update package and verify update package. Then the thing "E: failed to verify whole-file signature and E: signature verification failed" and so the installation of SuperSU won't flash.

I figure I'm doing something wrong: misreading something. Can someone help? Thanks. p.s. my phone has the latest software update from motorola.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Aaargh!:
In boot mode, pressing volume up button is the select button
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] discipler:
Thanks, I tried that and selected ap fastboot, and it went to what I described above. After trying to flash SuperSU, installation aborts.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Al936:
Step # 6 in the instruction you pointed out can be done in the following way:

"Boot it into Bootloader mode by pressing Volume Down and Power buttons"

If you do this way you will be booted in fastboot mode and need to skip step #7 and proceed with step #8.

Please note that SuperSU-v0.94+.zip can be flashed only with CWM recovery and not with stock Motorola recovery (i.e. Android System Recovery <3e>).

So you need to be success with CWM recovery flashing before try to install SuperSU-v0.94+.zip.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] discipler:
Thanks A1936, I'll give that a try. I do not understand why CWM image didn't flash. I'll restart the process and try again. Some of the instructions are confusing for example it will say that the CWM image needs to be in the 'fastboot' folder. I don't even recall making a 'fastboot' folder though I do have the 'fastboot' app in a sub folder under sdk/tools or platform-tools. So that was confusing. I just moved the cwm into the platform tools folder. It's trial and error, I suppose. Thank you! I really appreciate your guidance here.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] MrSing:
CWM Boot

OK

I have been through this at least 50 times. I think part of the problem is after it boots the phone it over writes cwm. My phone does exactly the same thing sometimes. I will try and delete the recovery.sh file and see if I get different results

It can be kind of frustrating.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] discipler:
Please let me know if it works and what you did. Thanks
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] discipler:
I'm unlocked but can't get root. The CWM image doesn't seem to have taken. By the random process of pressing keys above, I can get into Android Recovery which allows me to wipe data and cache. But I can't run the SuperSU because I don't have the CWM.

Now I seem to be stuck where pushing vol up/vol down + power just gives me the warning screen saying the device is unlocked and bad things could happen.

By doing the power up + power I get first the warning, and then I get the dead android (red triangle). From here I can press power + vol up/volume at same time and I get the Android recovery. From here I am able to "wipe data/factory reset" and I can wipe cache partition. I can also reboot. If I try flashing the SuperSU from the external storage, I get a message that installation failed.

I'm at a loss. Can you help?

I got into CWM recovery!!!

OK, I screwed up earlier because I'm a tech wannabe. I was confused about the various folders and file names. Under the SDK folder there was a platform-tools folder and a tools folder. And in those folders was a fastboot app. The directions are sometimes confusing or misleading. For example, see this <http://www.android.gs/how-to-root-motorola-photon-q-4g-lte-xt897-cwm-recovery-installation-guide-included/>

#2 says to download CWM and place it in the 'fastboot' folder. Well when I downloaded fastboot, it had it's own folder on C drive and it had a subfolder called fastboot. So I put the CWM image there. But then....

#9,10 says to go to the SDK/platform tools folder and open a command prompt from there. Then in the command prompt, type, "fastboot devices". This works because there's a 'fastboot' app in that folder. So far, so good because it reads the devices serial number and I'm cooking.... But then...

#11 says to now type 'fastboot flash recovery cwmrecovery.img'. But it doesn't work, it fails. Why? Because earlier it told me to put the CWM image in the 'fastboot' folder - which isn't the platform-tools folder.

The answer was now that I had the device unlocked and fastboot was recognizing the device, I opened a new command prompt in my 'fastboot' folder and then typed: 'fastboot flash recovery cwmrecovery.img'

Bammo! CWM recovery opened. I flashed SuperSU from the phone's external card and then rebooted. Root Checker app confirmed that now I have root. Thanks everyone for helping.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] discipler:
As far as I know, I have the latest Sprint update on my PHoton Q. See my previous post that I did get root. I explain how the directions concerning where to put the CWM, a folder called 'fastboot' or under SDK/tools or under SDK/platform tools. Turns out that I thought I had flashed the CWM image to the phone, but I was unsucessful and the instead of having Clockwork recovery, I was still trying to flash the SuperSU to the phone using the stock Android Recovery. It would fail. So I went back through the process, this time found the 'fastboot' folder I had created when I downloaded that and instead of copying cwm to the SDK/platform tools, like some instructions said to do, I copied the CWM image to the 'fastboot' folder. Success. See my previous post.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kcwoerner:
Tried it all, still no CWM recovery

So I've tried everything the same as you describe it, just like the updated procedure states, and still no Clockwork. I have cwmrecovery.img in my Fastboot folder, and SDK says that it was a success, but still boots into Android Recovery. What am I missing? I had no problem rooting it as well as my Razr M prior to the last OTA, but it went fubar after that. Any help would be awesome (or maybe just a good slap to the back of the head!)
[General Questions and Answers] fasat2112:
Hello,

I have a tablet GOClever TAB T75 and I have a strange caracteristics and specifications about it.

Android OS 4.0.3/4GB flash memory/512MB RAM

Hardware is:

Memory: 29F32G08CBACA [Micron Technology - MT] - 1pc on motherboard

RAM: HYNIX H5TQ2G83CFR - 2 pcs on motherboard

Correct me if I am wrong.

Flash memory some internet pages reports that is 4GB some 8GB.

For RAM I go straight to manufactor web site it's 2GB DDR3 ram module and tablet motherboard have 2pcs.

So my question is why Android OS showing only 4GB Flash memory (I think this is ROM - correct me if I am wrong) and 368MB ram (usable) and 512MB (total RAM) where on motherboard are 2pcs of HYNIX memory 4GB RAM?

Any advice and explanation?

Thank you
[General Questions and Answers] fasat2112:
anyone????
[General Questions and Answers] ronedogg:
Well what is your question?

If u got the tablet sold to you as a 4 GB. That is the whole system and storage total. Usually partitioned into 3 or 4 partitions.

Not really sure what u are asking, them Chinese tablets are made by about 100 different companies. Ram isn't removable if that is what your thinking
[General Questions and Answers] Pennycake:
I'm kind of confused.

The tablet is 4Gb of internal storage and 512Mb of RAM. There's really nothing more to be said. Android is only showing that because that's what is there. If you got scammed that's another issue - but if it was sold to you as 4Gb flash memory and 512Mb RAM then that is what you do have.

Like ronedogg said, the 4Gb is all the internal memory, including space for your ROM (software that makes the tablet run). That's all there is to report because that's all there is.

The RAM might be "2 pieces" of 254Mb RAM. It's not 2Gb - even if you have a copy of a tablet that's supposed to have 2Gb RAM you do not have that, you have 512Mb RAM. Nobody is putting 2 pieces of 4Gb RAM in Android tablets - you only see that in Windows tablets that have Intel processors and tend to be very expensive. Did you pay over $1000USD for this tablet ? I hope not. :silly:

Your RAM is probably 2 modules of 254Mb RAM, if it's even "2 pieces" at all. Generally when reporting RAM they will tell you total RAM, not some number that you multiply, anyway.
[General Questions and Answers] fasat2112:
Hello,

Thank you for informations. I payed less then 80USD for tablet (used - not new).

Even that tablet have 512MB ram when it's on Android shown Total Mem.: 368,36MB ram (used for OS around 150MB) so Free ram that I can use is only around 200MB (on stock rom).

So that's I am confused why have 512MB of ram and usable only 200MB. Or it's just SW blocked???

In attachment are specs for module.

Thank you

BR
[General Questions and Answers] Pennycake:
Well, what is the Ram that is being used going toward? The system can take more than 150Mb from what I've read.

I don't know what you have specs for, but I'd be willing to bet my firstborn that it's not what is in your device. You could open the tablet up to confirm it yourself, but if it was sold as 512 and reports 512, why do you think it would be otherwise?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TiberiumFusion:
MAJOR UPDATE: I have determined when/why TWRP crashes. When flashing a ROM, is always crashes at or after setting up the /system folder. Whenever I mount the /system folder TWRP will crash. This appears to be an issue with TWRP's formatting tools or the built in Linux-based tools.

UPDATE: Flashed DirtyRacun RUU. My phone now boots.

I have been flashing new ROMS on my phone for a while until I recently encountered a massive error. I had decided to restore my phone to a backup that I made with TWRP in October. Upon flashing the backup my phone restarted abruptly and would not boot. I rebooted into my bootloader and opened TWRP again. Upon opening TWRP's file browser, I descovered the entire contents of my phone had been wiped. EVERYTING but TWRP. My internal SDCard had been corrupted as well. Also, TWRP is reporting that there is not OS installed on my phone. Luckily I had made a backup with Titanium Backup Pro, and copied the backup files to my computer. I was also able to reformat my internal SD with TWRP. But that's not the problem. Now I cant flash ROMS at all. Upon flashing my phone will crashing midway through the process and turn back on, but it wont boot. I have tired flashing multiple ROMS, but all have failed. It is not a problem with the flashing tools, since I was able to flash a wiping package successfully.

I tried flashing the ROM using fastboot, but get this:

sending 'rom' (533389 KB)...

OKAY [ 20.029s]

writing 'rom'...

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

finished. total time: 69.294s

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] metalfan78:
If I'm reading this correctly, you are trying to flash a rom in fastboot instead of recovery? To my knowledge you can't do that. Unless I misunderstood your post. You need to reflash a custom recovery and flash from there.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xHausx:
Thread moved to Q&A.

You need to get s-off in order for the ROM to flash properly through the recovery. Flashing it with fastboot won't work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TiberiumFusion:
The "flashboot flash recovery [ZIPFILE]" command does flash the recovery, but you can flash a ROM using the "fastboot flash rom [ZIPFILE]" or "fastboot update [ZIPFILE]" command. I have tried reflashing TWRP to boot, but it doesn't fix the problem.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TiberiumFusion:
I believe I was able to flash ROMS previously with S-ON (I may be wrong). I have looked at ways to get S-OFF, but the ways of doing that are kind of obscure and hard to understand. Any help with that would be great.

Hi,

since I have finally gotten NFC on locked phone to work on 4.2.2 rooted stock ROM, I would like to add a task that unlocks my phone in combination with an NFC tag (which I placed in my car dock).

Unfortunately, I cannot get it to work, whatever tool I use.

- Widgetlocker can be reached with an intent, but only brings me to the pin screen instead of the desktop.

- "Unlock Keyguard Ad" takes me to the desktop but still seems to keep some kind of keyguard in the background that pops open when I e.g. open tasker.

The problems with "clear password" might be connected to the fact that my device in encrypted ...

So, any idea how to automatically unlock an encrypted Nexus 4 with PIN on stock firmware?
