Didn't you backup your contacts with Gmail contacts... Or saved them on SD card... Try importing from sim or sd card... But it will only work if you ever had a backup on them... :(

Contacts should be in your gmail account but how rooting wiped all photos?
[HTC Sensation XL] qmaru:
yea connected phone to pc and saw they were still there, phew! another note. it says my phone isnt rooted after i tried to run superuser. i followed the instructions using unlock bootloader direct from the htc website. where do i go next? ive saw alot of guides but theres so much techinal jargon, im confused :) is there a guide somewhere for us simple people? i just want to root my phone to run certain games!

[HTC Sensation XL] AlluXX:
It really isnt that hard if you just follow them directly but now... You use stock rom? What exactly have you done so far?
[HTC Sensation XL] qmaru:
stock rom yes. i have only done unlock bootloader. im not after a custom rom btw. just want to keep stock for now but have it rooted

If you only want root then unlock boot loader.

Flash recovery

Flash superuser

You can either do it via my tool or the others or do it manual by installing goo.im and let that flash recovery. Then find superuser as a flash able zip from xda and flash it.
[HTC Sensation XL] qmaru:
hi anders, i did the goo thing. it didnt reboot my phone and enter fastboot. i tried to run the recovery to install superuser but i get a black screen when it tries to load.

i have ran ETv3. xl multitool 2.1. both give me a error saying there is more than one device and emulator. does this mean there is a software issue on my phone or certain usb plugged into my pc? i read somewhere i have to uninstall htc sync. do i reinstall this?
[HTC Sensation XL] anders3408:
If i remeber correctly goo.im require s off. When using computer, use a USB 2.0 port and correct drivers installed and if still same issue remove what is attached to USB but keep keyboard and mouse. Also try not to use a USB port in from of the computer but use the port from the main board directly in the back and use no USB hubs.
[HTC Sensation XL] qmaru:
ok so i unplugged everything and stuck it in a usb port in the back. i somehow got the cwm to run. however it wont find the super su file even when i put it into the root of the phone. ricky i tried your app. it keeps saying more than one emulator running and device. phone is still s-on

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmszabo:
The situation:

My Razr i XT890 (retail, XT890.Retail.en.EU, stock, unrooted), running on 4.0.4. does not get the all hyped JB OTA update (restarts, forced Google server checkins tried many times). So I contacted Moto assist with the question, how to force OTA update; their answer:

"launch the Dialer and dial #35468# > Press OK. Then go to Settings > About phone > System updates and check again.This code activates a process in the background and can enable the update. If this will not work please try to update your Razr i via your computer. Have you installed the Motorola Device Manager on your computer?"

gave me some new insight in Moto codes, but did not offer any help; after MDM update thru usb I receive repeatedly the message (Win8, win7, XP): "There are no updates for your device at this time. Current Version: N/A".

And new (and last) contact with Moto gave the well-known answer: "We are sorry that you have been experiencing that fault with your Motorola Razr i and due to this we would like to suggest that you send your device to our repair centre in Netherlands"; which is not a very attractive way to me, I don't want to miss my -really beloved- phone..

Any other help/ ideas of the society how to get the JB update; and WITHOUT rooting the device, please?

Thanks in advance for any advice, idea.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] BurningKoala:
So I don't really like the sony UI ,I'd like to have the original android UI like on the nexus series but also I've read that if I unlock the BL I won't be able to get bravia engine and other stuff....what do you suggest?

The main problem is that I don't want to lose the warranty (1y left) >_<
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rodmarcos:
Well, it's pretty simple... if you really don't want to void the warranty... then DO NOT unlock the bootloader!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Chrisxe:
Why do you worry about warranty ? There should be no problem when flashing a custom rom, it is pretty safe if you do it right. And you should be crazy if you overclock the CPU too much. Just read everything very carefully and it will work. If you accidently drop your phone and the glass breaks etc, which happens often these days, this is not a case for warranty anyway because its your fault.

As for me, i use the stock .45 rom with a few mods , like a custom system ui and a nice lockscreen. You can root your device with binarys method and then install a few mods , without unlocking the bootloader. i tried several roms like miui and cm based roms.. but somehow i always missed some things. i went back to stock and relocked the bootloader, and got bravia engine and walkman music info working again - there is a fix for it.

you should root your device and install a different system ui and lockscreen - this does not require an unlocked bootloader and gives you the ability to mod the UI a little bit.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skycamefalling:
You should not unlock, because then the DRM keys are broken which basically renders the Walkman useless. In addition, you cannot use "send my position" in the Messaging-App after unlocking.

I wouldn't do it again. Root is absolutely fine to delete apps and widgets you don't need.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] auni:
Keep questions in the Q/A section please.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vvvvv5:
You can install MIUI in your Xperia S without unlocking your bootloader..search around xda, first root your device, then install CWM and then install MIUI..it's far better than stock..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chitose_ndy:
in my opinion,

if u still want to keep ur warranty,

dont unlock it.

and if u want costum ROM, u can install MIUI.

MIUI works also with locked bootloader.
[HTC One X] Squidinker:
Has anyone has a similar problem to this or any ideas how to troubleshoot?

I've had my lovely 1X since launch. Soon after I rooted her and then had her run CM nightlies until the past week when I decided I wanted to revert to stock for a while

This went swimmingly; I locked, installed the RUU then a slew of updates and last night the phone was happy, stable, making and receiving calls. I plugged her in as normal before I went to bed.

Got up today, unplugged her and almost immediately she crashes and reboots. Continually getting to the first screen, able to unlock sometimes and then goes black and reboots or just freezes and needs resetting.

So I figure, it's software, right?

I unlock her bootloader again, flash CWR 5.8.4.0 again, flash the boot.img from this JB rom and then the rom itself, then 4.2 gapps.

Everything fine. While plugged in.

Unplug; reboot cycle again :eek:

Not entirely sure what to do with her now other than try a bunch of other roms. A problem that's consistent across roms/recoveries/boot images, locked and unlocked though...

Anyone have any ideas, please?
[HTC One X] M@c|-|oR:
I suppose you did a full wipe every time you changed the ROM? Don't be so sure it's only software... Could be a hardware, too.
[HTC One X] Squidinker:
I did wipe of course.

And if it happens across roms, lock/unlock etc. I probably IS hardware. Just want to be as sure as possible.

maybe your installed rom is not compatible to your current kernel. try to download a compatible kernel for your rom, install it using fastboot. if your kernel have built in CWM, do wipe data, cache. then flash again your rom.

Apologies if this is covered elsewhere, but I have been struggling to trawl through all 1000 pages on the relevant thread as I can't get the search terms to get the info!

Basically, when I leave the phone overnight charging, in the morning I cannot turn it on unless I press and hold the power button and volume down to reset the device.

Other than this it is great in terms of being able to adjust the colours and the battery life seems better.

I have tried both the nightly and stable versions..

What ROM are you using?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldeneye243:
I am currently using the stock ROM but could change to a custom... (I am learning as I go at the moment...)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vindikleuk:
Sounds like your phone is having trouble to wake after a deep sleep. I'm guessing it's caused by a (probably: too) low cpu frequency.

Did you use any app to change the cpu frequencies while asleep, or did you undervolt your cpu?

Also, which version of the kernel are you using? I suggest you stick to M1 for more stable results.

And after all, it might be a bug in the kernel. The people in franco's thread are more than willing to help you if you supply as much information as you possibly can. Kernel version, your adjustments to it if any, etc. I haven't seen this problem happen to anyone before in the last days (oh yea, I read every page of that thread...), so don't be afraid to ask for some help. But for now, I suggest you update to M1. If you're already on M1, feel free to ask your question in the thread. ;)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldeneye243:

No, I do not undervolt. The only changes I made were to gamma settings. Having said that I did change the power setting but changed it back. I have rebooted the phone so I will see if it happens after the next deep sleep.

Thanks for the help so far, much appreciated!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldeneye243:
Thanks for the reply.

I am currently using milestone 1.

As far as I am aware I only made changes to the colour as I am still learning the controls as I go. I have restarted the phone to see if it helps.

The only app that I am using that could be to blame is battery guru, so if it persists, I could try disabling that.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
do you use the pgm slide to wake app?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldeneye243:
No, I don't - Should I, or is it possibly what is could have caused the problem?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
its a possible cause of sod if you had it installed.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vindikleuk:
You're using the exact same set-up I am, and I'm haven't had any of the trouble you talk of. Disabling battery guru might be a good idea. As it's an app from Qualcomm itself, I wouldn't be surprised if it's set to mess around with the stock kernel's settings. If that's the case, then your kernel is obviously not the kernel that Battery Guru was programmed to mess with! Uninstalling it to see what happens next would be a good step :highfive:. From my experience, you wouldn't need any battery management apps when you're on franco's M1 anyway - using common sense to save your battery should suffice.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldeneye243:
I will do that if I have not already got it fixed with the reboot. Battery guru is still in learning mode so possibly isn't messing with the kernel yet but is the next thing to try...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vindikleuk:
Alrighty, let's hope it'll get figured out.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldeneye243:
Well, it turned on OK this morning, so hopefully fixed...

I guess I will only know in a few days time when I have got more confidence...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldeneye243:
I had another SOD so I have reset all settings (installed nightly version 110) and started again -

The only changes I have made are to the gamma settings and changing the governer to conservative to see if that gives me a longer battery life.

Will see how it goes....
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldeneye243:
I had some more SODs with 110/111 so I changed to 121 and the battery life did not seem as good.

Takes a while to work out what is going on when it only happens once a day...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldeneye243:
I still get occasional SODs with battery guru disabled so i guess it is either the kernel or possibly the ROM... I will try on the support thread....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swagarr10:
hey guys

my sister was attempting to flash a jelly bean rom on her galaxy note which was running a stock ICS rom at the time and it froze during the process it froze.

it now shows a yellow triangle and refuses to boot.

i attempted booting into recovery and flashing a new rom.

i tried to do a full wipe first, but the phone freezes. i booted into recovery mode again and cleared the cache. however when i tried to wipe the davlik cache, i got an error message but it proceeded anyway.

when i try to go ahead and flash the new rom it fails.

i suspect the internal memory is corrupt. what should I do?

You might be able to repartition the device with Odin, you will have to wait for a more experienced member of XDA though, I don't know all the steps to repartition the device andI wouldn't like to get your Note in worse condition. But even after repartitioning you will only be able to run slim ROM's - such as slim bean.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swagarr10:
Thanks for the help. I'll try repartitioning. I don't know how so I'll google it. But even stock roms wouldn't run? and what's a slim rom?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxPixX:
Basically a very lightweight ROM. Slim Bean is only about 95MB + 25MB for the google apps which you have to flash too.

Here is a link to the ROM:

You might also be able to run slim versions of TouchWiz (that is the what you get from Samsung). SlimWizz is about 187MB but that will probably be too much.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kortxero:
That may be a softbrick "only". Are you able to get into Download mode? (Volume Down + Home + Power button) If so, you'll be able to flash an official ROM with PC Odin.

Out of curiosity, what procedure did you follow to flash your Jelly Bean ROM? Directly from the stock ICS recovery?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swagarr10:
sorry for the late reply. i do not know how my sister tried to flash the jelly bean rom. there have been some interesting developments. i obtained a kernel which has enabled me to boot into recovery mode. the problem now is that the note recognises my internal sd as an external sd and vice versa! any help?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kortxero:
I guess you have flashed the Speedmod kernel/recovery. Then internal (emmc) and external (micro SDcard) are swapped (that's "normal"). So formatting emmc will format the external SD card and formatting external sd-card will format the internal storage. You just need to be aware of this (if you fear you might lose your data in your SD card, simply remove it from the phone before wiping).

Do a full wipe and then follow the procedure detailed in the thread of the ROM you want to flash. Or if you don't know what to do, just get into Download mode as I explained above and flash an official TouchWiz ROM through Odin PC (you can check Dr Ketan's thread here: everything is nicely detailed. Don't forget to hit the Thanks button on his first post as he's really helpful with people).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swagarr10:
i'm still unable to flash a rom. it freezes at factoryfs.img. i'm using odin btw. when i try exploring the internal(to my phone, external) sd card, it says : 'can't mount emmc'

i'm guessing the internal memory is still corrupt?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kortxero:
That sucks. It seems you've been a victim of the emmc_CAP_ERASE bug. It's a shame you don't remember how you came to this. Anyway, one of the best solutions in this situation is to send your Note to the service center. The problem here is you have that yellow triangle which will void your warranty (if you still have one). Unless someone has a better idea, I think you have 3 possibilities:

1) Use the PIT file method. That will partition your internal storage card. Don't hesitate to ask questions in the thread if you need. You'll find people to help you.

2) Use a JIG USB key to remove the triangle before sending your device to the service center for repair. You'll find one for a few euros on eBay.

3) Try the JTAG.

To be honest, I haven't tried any of these methods as I've always been careful when flashing stuff. Good luck!
