they had recoveries with the .75(the latest ICS firmware) version, which was ICS.After the JB update there is no fully working recovery, the one termobulbulator posted is the only one booting.

tl;dr there is no recovery atm.The last recovery was for the last version of ICS.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] blodhughofi:
Dear developer, as you know this device has not separate room in bootloader for recovery.img and this is a big issue. For now I find this solution to do onandroid backup and to flash the CWM with flashtool when I need a system restore... this is a little annoying, but works. Anyway if you could create a CWM recovery for JB stock kernel I'll be the first interested in testing it (may be one recovery.tar in /system/bin...???) Please!
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] gavster26:
he won't be doing any more for the j to many noobs spamed this thread :@
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] blodhughofi:
Ok, Mr gavster26, you are the cool ruler of Xperia J, and you really know what's going on with CWM recovery for the device! But although we have yet CWM and TWRP recovery for J none of these developers it is able to fix permanent recovery on stock rom, yet. I have idea that this will be not possible as there is no separate room for recovery in bootloader. Maybe I am wrong but as I am noob just you are, I asked to Doomlord if he will help us to solve the problem, sorry for this but I'm not spammig at all, in any case.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] gavster26:
I didn't say you was spamming bro :)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] BuPe:
I have a rooted Xperia J running stock JB with locked bootloader that has no working cwm/twrp recovery (I tried CWM 6.1 and I'm getting a black screen, since the same issues seems to be happening for others in the TWRP thread I haven't tried testing that). I cannot install the adrenaline script without CWM/TWRP. So to answer your question, yes it would be great if the J had a working recovery on stock JB however I have a locked bootlader so I cannot install custom ROMs/kernels if I understand correctly what I read so far. CWM did work on stock rooted ICS (version ending with 7.5).

Please do let me know if there is anything I can do to help you with testing without bricking my phone :)

[General Topics] Roy4joy:
Device= Qmobile Noir A8, Dual core 1 Ghz with ICS 4.xx.

Problem= Launcher deleted.

Solution= Read below

_______________________________________

I deleted my build in Launcher's .apk from /system/app folder after installing another launcher.

After i deleted it some how the new launcher stopped (My task killer killed it i guess) and never came back.

Now i was with out a launcher and all i had was the small status bar on top of the screen.

I could access the settings though, but there was nothing their to help me.

The task killer was accessible from status bar and i added the new launcher to its white list but it didn't worked.

I had no ROM backups or any thing like that and almost bricked it.

Luckily i had rooted it just after a few days of usage.

So i googled to restore some launchers in my device.

I had found a few solutions but non were working for me.

I download the SDK and tried pushing files to it.

The device was rooted i could access the root but nothing was getting pushed with an error message.

Next I tried every thing else that i came across on the whole internet and hours and hours of searching.

In the mean while an SMS came and i could access it from status Bar.

That gave me an idea.

How.

1. I could receive SMS and reply to it once it appeared on the status bar.

2. So i compiled a text message from another phone and the message contained a link "w w w.g o o g l e.c o m.p k" and i sent it to my device.

3. when i received it on my phone i had a text message with a link, the link was active and after pressing it i had the option to use my browser or playstore. after choosing playstore i had access to every thing.

downloaded a launcher and saved the day....

May be if some one had similar problem then use this method to restore your launcher or some other system app.

hahahahha how simple
[General Topics] bbrad:
Mmmmmmmm or you could have just pressed the search button which would open up Google search and could have searched play store the app would have showed up and you could have clicked it
[General Topics] Pennycake:
If you could get into settings, couldn't you have gone into the list of apps therin and either gone to the play store or the launcher itself? Did restating not just fix it?
[General Topics] Roy4joy:
The screen was empty and i had removed all the widgets from it already. There was no search option any where. Only thing i had was status bar and settings(through the status bar drop down menu.
[General Topics] Roy4joy:
I had deleted the launcher from the core /system/app folder through a root explorer. And how could it show up on apps when no .apk files.

How can u open play store from settings.

Restart was not the solution
[Nexus 10 General] spruggs:
Hi All,

Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but I just have a quick question.

I have my Nexus 10 with an OTG Cable connected to my Ipod Classic for USB Storage via Nexus Media Importer and was just wondering if there is a music playing app out there that can read the appropriate file on my Ipod Classic so as to be able to play continuous songs or playlists? Its just manually downloading each individual track into the Music folder to use the stock music player is a bit time consuming to say the least.

Thanks in advance and apologies if this has been asked and answered before.
[Nexus 10 General] alan sh:
Can you see the files with NMI? If so, tap the song and NMI should ask you which app you want to use to play it. No need to copy stuff in first (at least, that is my experience)

Alan
[Nexus 10 General] spruggs:
Thanks for the reply Alan,

The thing is that NMI doesnt skip to the next track after you choose an album to play so you have to keep manually doing it. I have a feeling that I am going to just have to download the tracks into the music folder to have that functionality.

Never mind, I'll muddle through, its all good playing around with the new toy anyway.

Thanks again.

HAPPY NOWRUZ(PERSIAN NEW YEAR)​

​

NOWROUZ​

HAppy Nowruz TO all PErsian XDA MEmber

Nowrūz (Persian: نوروز‎, IPA: [nouˈɾuːz], meaning "[The] New Day") is the name of the Iranian/Persian New Year[15] in Iranian calendars and the corresponding traditional celebrations.[16] Nowruz is also widely referred to as the "Persian New Year".[17][18][19][20]

Nowruz is celebrated and observed by Iranian peoples and the related cultural continent and has spread in many other parts of the world, including parts of Central Asia, Caucasus, South Asia, Northwestern China, the Crimea and some groups in the Balkans.

Nowruz marks the first day of spring and the beginning of the year in the Iranian calendar. It is celebrated on the day of the astronomical Northward equinox, which usually occurs on March 21 or the previous/following day depending on where it is observed. As well as being a Zoroastrian holiday and having significance amongst the Zoroastrian ancestors of modern Iranians, it is also celebrated in parts of the South Asian sub-continent as the new year. The moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator and equalizes night and day is calculated exactly every year and Iranian families gather together to observe the rituals.

Originally being a Zoroastrian festival, and the holiest of them all, Nowruz is believed to have been invented by Zoroaster himself, although there is no clear date of origin.[21] Since the Achaemenid era the official year has begun with the New Day when the Sun leaves the zodiac of Pisces and enters the zodiacal sign of Aries, signifying the Spring Equinox. Nowruz is also a holy day for Sufis, Ismailis, Alawites,[22] Alevis, Babis and adherents of the Bahá'í Faith.[23]

The term Nowruz in writing first appeared in Persian records in the 2nd century AD, but it was also an important day during the time of the Achaemenids (c. 548–330 BC), where kings from different nations under the Persian empire used to bring gifts to the Emperor, also called King of Kings (Shahanshah), of Persia on Nowruz. The significance of Nowruz in the Achaemenid empire was such that the great Persian king Cambyses II's appointment as the king of Babylon was legitimized only after his participation in the New Year festival (Nowruz).[24]

The UN's General Assembly in 2010 recognized the International Day of Nowruz, describing it as a spring festival of Persian origin which has been celebrated for over 3,000 years.[25][26] During the meeting of The Inter-governmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Heritage of the United Nations, held between 28 September – 2 October 2009 in Abu Dhabi, Nowrūz was officially registered on the UNESCO List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.[27][28][29][30]

The search Engine Google is showing this animated Doodle in few countries for celebrating Nowruz 2017.

For more than 3,000 years, people of Persian ancestry have been celebrating Nowruz, the return of spring and the start of a new year. A combination of the Persian words “now” for new and “ruz” for day, it is often celebrated at the exact moment of the vernal (spring) equinox, when the days start getting longer, and the celebrations can continue for up to two weeks.

Nowruz is a time of joyous renewal. Visits with friends and family, a clean house and new clothes, and special spring foods are traditional ways to celebrate the holiday. Perhaps the most enduring image of Nowruz is gathering together with friends and family around a bonfire

It has been celebrated for over 3,000 years in Western Asia, Central Asia, the Caucasus, the Black Sea Basin and the Balkans.

It is the name of the Iranian New Year, also known as the Persian New Year,which is celebrated worldwide by the Iranians, along with some other ethno-linguistic groups, as the beginning of the New Year.

Nowruz is the day of the vernal equinox, and marks the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. It usually occurs on 21 March or the previous or following day, depending on where it is observed.

The festival of Nowruz is celebrated by many groups of people in the Black Sea basin, the Balkans, the Caucasus, Western Asia, central and southern Asia, and by Iranians worldwide.

Nowruz is celebrated by Kurdish people in Iraq and Turkey, as well as by the Parsis in the Indian subcontinent.

[Motorola Droid 4] Lightofdark:
Hi, i installed the last JB OTA update yesterday, and it worked great, but then i would install lum's roms, and i did it wrong. Since i can't boot, it shows the Motorola logo for about 30 sec, then i got blackscreen. All i can do is boot in motorola's recovery (not safestrap), or AP Flashboot.

Is there a way to restore my phone ?

Sorry for my poor english and thanks for your help.
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
What exactly did you do? Did you flash Lum_UK's ROM over top of your stock ROM? And you can't you still get in to safestrap recovery? If that's the case you may be hosed until JB fastboot files come out. You could try to reflash the JB OTA in stock recovery. I have a feeling it will fail since your stock system has been modified but worth a shot.
[Motorola Droid 4] Lightofdark:
I replaced the system folder on my phone by the one of lum's rom with file manager into safestrap recovery (not smart i know). And I already try to reflash the update in the recovery but it didn't work. I'll have to wait untile JB fastboot files comes out and use my old Xperia mini pro ;)

EDIT : Ok, i can update my phone to JB with recovery, but then the phone boots on AP flashboot automaticaly and says "flash failure"
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
You deleted the stock ROM and copied over the files from my ROM by hand?

That's not going to work as it will also delete safestrap recovery as you have found out. :(

The JB OTA update won't install as it is a patch that only applies to the stock ICS ROM.

Attempting to downgrade to the ICS fastboot files will perma-brick your phone. Some partitions are safe to flash, some can only be upgraded. Fortunately the system partition is flashable without that nasty issue!

However I've had a look at how Droid4utility actually flashes them and it seems it is possible to flash just the system partition in fastboot using:

moto-fastboot flash system.img

I have dumped the system partition from my phone and am currently uploading it. It will take an hour to upload and I'm out for the afternoon. Edit: It's here: http://d-h.st/oXt

You'll need Fastboot and the Motorola USB drivers

Install the USB drivers.

Decompress the system.img file you downloaded. Put it in the same directory as moto-fastboot.exe.

Ensure the battery in your phone has lots of charge.

Boot the phone into fastboot by holding down both volume buttons and pressing the power button.

Choose fastboot by pressing the vol down button until fastboot is highlighted, then press vol up.

Connect your USB cable.

Run moto-fastboot flash system.img

Run moto-fastboot reboot

Note: I have not tried this on my own phone, and I hope I never have to. It should work in theory.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
when ever i have used moto-fastboot, i had to use 'moto-fastboot.exe' to get it to work

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 AM ----------

not sure what exactly what you will need to flash for jellybean to unbrick

download

update.zip for your device and system version

moto-fastboot.exe mediafire

instructions

1. Enter android recovery and do a wipe data/factory and cache

2) Then reboot device to fastboot mode.(make sure to have all motorola drivers installed on your PC)

3) move the update Zip and the MOTO-FASTBOOT to a folder (ex. c:/Root)

4. unzip files

5) Open the CMD, and enter the these commands.

cd/

cd c:root

moto-fastboot.exe flash system system.img

moto-fastboot.exe reboot

also try renaming patch/boot.img.p to boot.img

moto-fastboot.exe boot boot.img

moto-fastboot.exe reboot

do not let battery die, phone requires software to charge battery,

if battery dies you will need a

TBH’s Motorola Programing Cable
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
The jellybean fast boot files are not available yet, but from the description of the fault it would seem that only the system partition is bricked.

Easiest way to tell is if the phone still charges. If it does then the boot.img is fine and you should leave it well alone. Just flash my system.img and you should be good to go.

If the phone doesn't charge then switch it off and wait for the jellybean fast boot to turn up, do not switch it on again until it does.

Please let us know how you got on.
[Motorola Droid 4] Lightofdark:
How can i know if the phone does charge or not ?
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
turn off phone connect to wall charger, if you get battery charging screen your good

if not it's not charging

if phone will not turn off, hold volume down and power for 15-20 secs
[Motorola Droid 4] Lightofdark:
when i plug the cable it automacialy boot in AP fastboot, it doesn't seems good
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
what does it say in ap fastboot.?

AP Fastboot Flaash Mode (S)

0A.74....
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
Well annoyingly, that file I was trying to upload for you... Windows 8 decided to go into sleep mode before it had finished uploading, starting again.

I'm also happy to try and dump any other partitions that may help, if someone can tell me how to do it.
[Motorola Droid 4] Lightofdark:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Flash Failure)

0A.77
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
does android recovery have, this phone has been rooted code

if not, you could try taking to verizon store, and tell them the new update bricked your phone

they will likely have to send it to get repaired, don't know if any verizon stores flash phones anymore
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
Well the system image is finally uploaded if you want to try it

http://d-h.st/oXt
[Motorola Droid 4] Lightofdark:
Thanks for your advice, but I live in France, and there is no Verizon store here. :(
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
Your options now are:

1) Try flashing the System.img I uploaded, it might work, it might not

2) Wait until a full fastboot image comes out and then flash that.
[Motorola Droid 4] Lightofdark:
Well, i flashed the system.img (thanks a lot for the update btw), and now the phone boots on AP Fastboot with "(boot failure), with at the botom of the screen i've got these line :

"Invalid CG OTV (CG:system): Invalid SP Data

Invalid CG HAB (CG:system, status: 0X0056)

Invalid CG OTV (CG:system)"
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
Well it was worth a try. Now you'll just have to turn it off and hope the fastboot files show up soon :(
[Motorola Droid 4] Lightofdark:
ok, so I'll wait. Anyway, thanks a lot for your help and your time.
[Motorola Droid 4] DmdStar:
Hello,

I was lead here because I'm having a similar problem... though not nearly as bad as the OP, it would seem. I managed to brick my system partition by trying to restore a nandroid of a working JB system partition in safestrap to stock slot to resolve some other errors in the install precipitated by a bad restore from Titanium.

Good news is that safestrap still works, and I can boot to any other slot... just not stock. When trying to boot stock, after the safestrap screen, I just get a black screen... it makes the *droid* sound, but screen stays black and nothing happens. No logo or OS appears.

I'm wondering if it might be worth a try to flash your system.img, or if I should leave it alone and run on safestrap until fastboots show up (which is hopefully soon)?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
To be honest, since you currently have a working phone, I would leave it as it is until fastboots turn up. It's the lowest risk option.
[Motorola Droid 4] DmdStar:
Thanks for the advice... That's kind of what I was thinking... Just hope fastboots show up before I decide to sell the darn thing. :)
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
u could try sbfing ics, then flash the kernel in fastboot with a modified unstuckics then apply the update with the recovery... that worked on gb
[Motorola Droid 4] DmdStar:
Don't think I'll risk a hard brick. Unless you have a method of doing this that would be risk-freeish? I'm sure fastboots will show up sometime, and I'm running ok on safestrap for now.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
make a nandroid backup of current stock with safetrap 3.11

then restore my nandroid

Jellybean stock made with safestrap 3.11 nandroid

system version 98.72.18.XT894.Verizon.en.US

http://d-h.st/g3c 478.95 MB

place unziped folder in internal sdcard/TRWP/BACKUPS

this is only for droid 4 on jellybean, with working safestrap 3.11
[Motorola Droid 4] DmdStar:
Thanks, but I tried this already with someone else's stock nandroid backup. It restores fine to one of the safestrap slots, and works perfectly... however restoring to the stock slot is what bricked the phone. No clue why it would be different in a slot than stock partition...

I'll give it a go with your backup, just in case it's different, however...
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
which original nandroid link did you use?
[Motorola Droid 4] DmdStar:
GigaJake made one for me over at DroidForums.net when I asked about it there. It worked to restore it to slot2, but rendered the stock slot unbootable.
[Motorola Droid 4] DmdStar:
Yay!

Hey sd_shadow!

Just wanted to say that I just had a chance to try restoring your backup file this morning, and IT WORKED!

I couldn't believe my eyes when I actually saw the DROID logo, and then the lockscreen. Had to go back into safestrap to double check I was actually running on the stock slot. :) All apps working as expected now as well.

Thank you so much for providing this. Not sure what was wrong with the other backup file I tried, but yours was exactly what the doctor ordered.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
well the only difference should be, mine had user data

which includes the safestrap app, the other slots do not need that, stock slot may need it
[Motorola Droid 4] DmdStar:
Yeah, true... the other only had system partition. At any rate, I'm thrilled that yours worked.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
thanks for reporting back, glad it worked
