Hey guys,

after trying a lot but not beeing successfull i hope that you can help me. I tried to root my HTC Desire Z (Vision) a few month ago. I installed cyanogenmod 10 and everything worked fine. But after a week it suddenly switched off. I restarted and everything was fine again. But this shutdown came more and more and at one time, i was not able to boot the system.

Today i have a new phone but i'd like to give the old one away so i tried again to repair it...without success. I am still able to come in ClockworkMod which is Version 5.0.2.7

I also tried to install a new CM, formatted the SD-Card...everything i found on the internet.

Another thing is, that the ClockworkMod always tells me that it can't mount and open /cache/recovery/log and /cache/recovery/last_log

Ok, would be nice if anyone could help me out, would be a pitty to throw it away

cheers

Hi,

I purchased a Note 2 clone from dhgate which is running on Android JB 4.1.1. I tried to root it with the binary method and it failed. Please find the messages below.

I did more research and I could see that ro.secure in my boot.img might have been set to 1 and it looks like I need to use Linux to extract the boot.img, make the change and re-pack it. Where can I get the Linux Drivers for MTK6577 phone. I have Linux Mint at home and it did not recognize the phone when I plugged in via USB. Or is there an easy way to root this device?

Thanks,

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] thaittnguyen:
Hi

I'm new to this rom flashing stuff and I have a question about the pie navigation.

I am using a Spring Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and I have just finished rooting the phone and installed the Whompasaurus ROM onto the phone. As i was fiddling with the Pie navigation and customizing it. I soon realized that when the "Show status info" configuration is on, it freezes my phone for about 10 seconds before going back to normal upon activating the pie feature for too long. It shows me the time and the first set of status, but when it animates to show the second set of status the pie navigation freezes.

I was wondering if anyone else was having this trouble, if so how do you fix it? I love the pie navigation its very easy to use and very reliable at times. I would still like to get the full aspects of the pie navigation. Any help would be great! :D

If you do have a solution please explain it in a simple manner, like I said before I'm new to these kinds of things >.<.

Timmy.
[HTC One V] martijn99:
How you flash a rom with twrp? Srry im a noob :$
[HTC One V] mr_nooby:
R: [Q] flash rom with twrp

Just go to install and select the zip of the rom you want to flash, then slide the thing that appears and it will start installing. Then you can rebooting fastboot from twrp and flash kernel. Or flash it before installing, it's the same
[HTC One V] worldindo1:
Don't forget that when going from stock ROM, you need to wipe both caches, back up your data, wipe data & system, and then flash a new ROM and GApps. Click on that link :)

P.S: Go here to get an app that can reinstall individual apps & data from a Nandroid backup (I personally prefer TWRP though I like COTR [Cannibal Open Touch Recovery] too since I'm an official beta tester).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] acesup_11:
Hello I hope you are doing well. I have tried to flash Liquidsmooth and Cyanogenmod nightly 3/16 and both of them will freeze during a phone call and or after a phone call. I tried the sonic TW rom and have had no issues. Can someone please let me know what the issues might be and how I can fix them. Thank you so much I need a very stable ROM as I use my phone for work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Were those 4.2.2 roms? Those arent quite stable yet, theyre still working on them

Flash a 4.1.2 / MB1 / MA6 ROM if you're looking for as much stability as possible
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
I believe for Liquidsmooth that error was caused by the most recent release (titled STABLE). I know that RC2 didn't have the same issues with freezing on phone calls. The RC2 is available on their goo.im page.

But, like CNexus said, 4.2.x Roms will inherently be a less stable than TW-based Roms. That's just the way it is when you're developing something that's not been officially released for your device. In the 4.2.x Roms that I tried, it was stable enough for my (non-business) needs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GiantJay:
Seems like I've been hearing this issue on various threads since the new CM kernel was released. CM is still in nightlies so it is not 100% stable. But it could be a lot of different things.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] acesup_11:
I appreciate all the help is there any good roms that are not TW that are stable MA6? If you could point me in the right direction. I tried searching MA6 and got kernels?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
Well, I don't know exactly what you mean by non-TW-based MA6 Roms. As far as I know, MA6 Roms are inherently based off of touchwizTW (since it's a build of Samsung's Sprint Rom). I assume you mean Roms based off Android version 4.1.2, which is the version that came with MA6.

I know freeza has gone and removed a lot of TW features from his

Galaxy S fre3 Rom

. It's currently on MB1, which is only a minor upgrade from MA6.

But for the most part, the MB1- and MA6-based Roms are pretty solid in terms of stability. I'd recommend going to the

Rom Wiki

created by Hamspiced. I have no idea when it was last updated (maybe a week or two ago), but it has a lot of links to MB1 and MA6 Roms (as well as a lot of AOSP, etc. Roms)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] kylejustin:
I regularly use a software to fill out forms at work on my PC, but the software is not made for my Pocket PC. Is there anywhere that can convert the software I use to enable me to install it on my Pocket PC????
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Biso007:
Hi ... From my old programming experiece, unless this software has some OS-related features, all you have to do is to get the source code and make some layout modification (to fit within the XDA screen) and then compile it on the SDK for Mobile Windows from Microsoft.

I know it sounds easy but it's NOT .... many aspects are different when you design for full PC environment than it's for WIN CE for example (RAM requirements for example).

Anyway, good luck if you are gonna try it :)
[HTC Rezound] teckels:
Can't decide between the two...I know it comes down to personal opinion just trying to get some feedback.

One X+ to me is the perfected version of the Rezound which I already love but the One has some new bells and whistles, just a little worried about camera in real world and metal body feel and it's generation 1 which is usually a steer clear for me. But I also love the latest and greatest so I'm conflicted.

Any thoughts?
[HTC Rezound] LOBBS:
I'm leaning towards the One. There are fresh rumors of a DNA+ or 2 so if it has a better battery and more storage that would get a hard look as well.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Mindspin_311:
Noticed this last night, havent been able to send an MMS since about 9pm lastnight. Local issue?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Mindspin_311:
Still having the issue, is there some data I can clear or something to reset?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Veritass:
Custom rom?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Mindspin_311:
Nope, bone stock. Running ZVB.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Mrichelo:
This has happened to me before with this phone and Sprint. First question: are you using the Stock Messaging app? If so, try rebooting the device. I've noticed when I was on ZV9 or ZV8 (can't remember which one) when I would drive through an area with no signal, the radio just refuses to pick data back up. Turning Airplane Mode on and off or a reboot usually fixes the issue. If you're not using the stock messaging app, you might have to wait for an update to that app.

Sorry, that's really all I got.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Mindspin_311:
Airplane mode on/off, reboot, nothing is working.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Mindspin_311:
Settings are correct

[Sprint LG Optimus G] peteyo:
Not sure if your having the same exact issue i am. But i can't send test messages shorter than 4 words or so. This has happened to me since i got the jelly bean update. I have reset the phone, check the settings like u, root and reinstall jb, done ## something##, brought my phone to sprint...... Ihave not found the answer yet either. Its really annoying when i want to reply something short and to the point. My text messages are littered with fails. If you figure something out please let me know. And to top it off sprint says i need to spend 50 bucks on a referbished phone, to fix my issue.Wtf
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Mindspin_311:
I was able to send a text of more than 4 words, seems to be MMS outgoing only. I received a pic earlier this week.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] peteyo:
I meant I can not send outgoing messages shorter than 4 words or so.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Mindspin_311:
Oh, I can do that too haha

No issues sending regular texts.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Mindspin_311:
Sms apps from the play store work just fine.

I'm pissed now. Factory reset?

[Sprint LG Optimus G] Mindspin_311:
Factory reset didnt work either
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Stealyourface:
Have you tried calling Sprint to see if there's an outage in your area?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Mindspin_311:
I doubt its a 2wk outage. Also, my fiancee's GS3 can send pictures no problem. I can also send pictures via GOSMS, but that is just a crutch and I shouldnt have to do that.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Stealyourface:
Well you can still try calling. And see if there's something they can do on their end. I had a similar problem like this before and they said there was like a data blockage to my phone or some bs. And they pretty much had to reactivate my phone.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Mindspin_311:
Yea I am going to stop in this week and see what they say.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] uncommonbeing:
I've also been having MMS problems and I'm completely stock and I updated PRL/Profile.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] gjones77:
It could be they're working on towers in your area, I had this problem with 2 different phones while they were upgrading the towers where in live in Plymouth, MA.

They're all done and everything is great now, have 20Mbps 4G LTE in my area now since the upgrades.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Dvickers75:
Fix Straight from my friendly neighborhood sprint tech!!!

The Galaxy Nexus has been handicapped with MMS, mainly pictures, since it was launched. The failure is due to the APN settings not being set, since it is a pure Google phone. There is a very simple fix for this.

Download chompSMS. The stock messaging app does not work well on the phone.

Open the menu, open settings, then open Mobile Carrier Network

Uncheck “I am on USA T-Mobile”

Open the MMS Network Settings

Open APN Settings

Enter this information

MMSC: ht tp:// mms. sprintpcs. com (no space )

MMS proxy: 68. 28.31.7

MMS Port: 80

Hit back

Done!

Make sure you set chompSMS as the default messenger and explain what you did to the customer. This is the easiest way to get MMS working. Samsung is aware of the issue but has basically said, “It’s not hindering use of the phone, not a problem.” I did this on my personal Nexus and have a 100% success rate sending MMS.

this worked for Me with my LGOG even though it was for my nexus

if you have issues with chomp finding apn settings try sending a pic then once its sending long hold the message and select check APN settings.

Hope this helps.

Loving paying less for better service

Rooted stock LGOG

everything else hasnt been touched yet.....
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Mindspin_311:
Will doing that fix it so the stock messaging app will work again? I can send via GO SMS, but I would rather not use another app if I dont have to
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Mindspin_311:
I dont see APN settings, even when attempting to send a message.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Stealyourface:
Now I'm the one having mms problems for over a week. Can't even find any settings for it. Frustrating stuff.

edit: fixed it, for now anyway..
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Mindspin_311:
How did you fix it?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Stealyourface:
Manually set the mms settings in gosms. Then updated profile in system settings. And then it worked. In the stock app. Somehow made the APN Settings show up in chompsms as well. Idk how much of it was just luck rather than concrete.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Mindspin_311:
Finally went to the Sprint store to have them look at this, they performed an RTN which did the trick.

I have a HTC DNA with the latest OTA. Root is not applicable to me, so I'm considering trading it in for a Note 2. That said, what am I to look for in a Note 2 that's rootable so I can install custom ROMs? I've browsed the "Do not accept OTA" threads but have not read anything about what OTAs are unrootable. I just do not want to get a Note 2 that has an out-of-the-box OTA that I cannot root. Thanks.

[Nexus 7 General] merchant2112:
So i droped my nexus last night it bounced off my night stand on the way to the ground and when i picked it up it was off. figured wtf hitt the button.

nope it stayed off

press and held the buttons and tried to get it to reset ect. no go it was dead. connected it to the charger and tried again. got a back light but nothing else.

so did the non tech thing (smacked it a few times and pressed the power , came up flaky screen was kind of scrambled. great i trashed my nexus by droping it.

so called Google they made me do all the stuff i already did, no surprise its dead.

they told me to call asus for support. , went to asus site they wanted my sn to make a case, couldn't find find it i know i registered it. they told me i would need to send it in they would charge me 65 to issue a new serial number WTF! and then if the repair was not in warnty it would cost 165 to fix the nexus. 65+165 is more than a new nexus 16 (what i have). so i said thanks but no thanks.

so as i sat and stared at my paperweight i thought why not. i got a razor blade and a butter knife. used the razor to crack the edge of the case off and then popped the back off with the butter knife.

looked around and noticed those wonderful overworked china drones routed one of the wires for the battery round the backside of a plastic support pin. this made the wire very tight and it pulled the connector off the main board on one side of the battery connector creating a short. i pushed the wire on the right side of the support pin and reset the power connector and bam nexus back to life.

so if you dropped your nexus and it boot loops and or just wont turn on when off the charger. open it up and check the battery wires bet you got the same cross eyed Chinese tech and the battery unplugged itself

[Nexus 7 General] player911:
Cool story bro. Glad you fixed it. I fix most of my stuff too. I'm a techy guy and probably more qualified then the drones that work at the factories.

Just like my wife's Samsung Netbook (back when netbooks were cool). She insisted taking it out by the bonfire where some friends and I were drinking. I told her countless times to take it in before a full glass of red Merlot gets dumped right in the keyboard. She runs inside and plugs it into the wall??!!!

I took it apart and cleaned it up but the keyboard was hosed. I called Samsung for a replacement keyboard but they wouldn't sell me one. I had to send it in. When it got there, I got a call about purple stuff in there and thus the warranty was voided. I said yeah no ****, I told you guys we dumped wine in there. She wanted to charge me $75 for the keyboard and $125 an hour. I laughed and said I only paid $220 for it, for $200 I'd rather buy a new one and see if the old one would Blend.

Bought the keyboard off eBay for $16 and she still uses it like 4 years later.

[Nokia Lumia 920] Konner920:
I want to know everyones thoughts that has flashed 1308 with nokia care suite.

Things I've noticed major improvements with

1. It's actually snappier than it was before.

2. The battery life doesn't suck down as fast, which is amazing

3. some new features in settings.

But the reason i come and ask this question, the update says "improved camera quality"

The camera seems to "brighten" the pictures and everything looks... well bad in my opinion. I can't get a clear picture anymore.

Anyone else done the same, and what do you think?

EDIT: Camera problem isn't that bad as I thought, I can actually take decent pictures now. this update is wonderful.
