I was originally trying to flash stable CM10, but i wanted to try out the latest MIUI build. Used to be a bit of a flashaholic until I ran into this doozey lol. Could you throw me a link to the 3.18 RUU by chance?

Here ya go:

this is for downgrading the touchscreen firmware after. otherwise touchscreen wont work in aosp roms.

this probably goes without saying but dont bother relocking your bootloader to ruu.

Ran 3.18 RUU, flashed 2.3.3.1 TWRP, downgraded touch firmware, BOOM! IT WORKED! Thanks so much again for your help! :laugh:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Anytime bud! I am so glad everything's working properly now! I have a feeling HBOOT has more to do with ROM compatibility than was originally thought. I have noticed while on 1.11 Many ROMs were not working as they should.

Congrats!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DvineLord:
yea, id stick with twrp 2.3.3.1 or move to cwm official, with cwm official there are more steps for full wipe but i haven't ran into a single issue. glad you got everything working. my main issue for wanting to move to cwm was because i could NEVER fix permissions in twrp, i also got issues flashing some roms. as stated above by exad, thanks exad for stating "fastboot erase cache" love that command =), is great to run anytime flashing new recovery or for freak issues. for s-off i would start it with the intention of ruu in the end. so glad you got you phone back up. little friendly at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] exekias:
Hey guys I've had my Gnex for just under a year now and lately the touch screen goes through moments of unresponsiveness.

I'm more interested in knowing if its software based. Ive been rooting/modding non stop for most part of its life and its never been on a ROM longer than 2 weeks. Over a month ago I got bored of it all and just put the stock rom on with the stock kernel and now after 2 months its now having touch screen and lag issues.

I have run Lag fix on it to TRIMM the lag but touch screen issues remain, Is this a common thing with the Stock rom? Or is it something more dire
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Based on the fact that you say you are flash happy (nothing wrong with that), I would suggest a factory reset & /system format. If you have a spare hour or two maybe even move files to the comp and format the sdcard, then transfer the ones back you want.

Hi colleagues,

Someone bought goophone i5 v2 of dealsprime?

It has to be exactly this type: GooPhone i5 II Android 4.2 3G GPS Phone Quad Core 1.5GHz 4.0" IPS 1280*720 - Goophone-i5-V2

I need to refresh ROM in my Goophone i5 V2 (from deals prime). (It is MTK6577 and no MTK6589 type as they declare)

Do you have any backup (official, unofficial) of your ROM, please? The backup is to be made by MTK DROID TOOLS.

My ROM doesnt work...

Thanks for your time.

Hi folks

Here is how to root any 2011 Xperia running any of the 4.1.B.0.587 4.1.B.0.431 / 4.1.A.0.562 and 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware . No need to downgrade kernels or anything, just root it straight away :D

Rooting

Go to settings > Security > Mark "Unknown sources"

Settings > Developer options > Mark USB debugging

Settings > Xperia > connectivity > USB connection mode > select MSC mode

PC Companion installed on your PC.

1) Connect your phone to PC ( IMPORTANT > Skip PC Companion installation pop up on your phone.) and wait for the adb drivers to be installed. If these drivers don't get installed, phone would not be detected by Eroot.

Make sure nothing else ( specially flashtool ) is running on your PC in the background.

2) Download this rooting toolkit. Google Drive /// MediaFire /// 4-Shared and run it. If any downloading starts, cancel it by clicking the green button. Don't let the eroot download anything.

It should now detect your phone and show an option to "-root". Just click on it, wait till it finishes

3)Rooting done ( For confirmation see if any Super User app has been installed )

4) If by chance it fails for the first time, give it another go. it won't harm your phone in any way. If you still face problem, click on show content below

Go to your C:/ Drive / User/Username/AppData/Roaming/ folder and delete the eRoot folder.

If it says cannot be deleted then open up task manager on your PC and kill bec.exe . Then delete eroot folder.

Still not working ? used the archived method to root 2011 Xperia here below the animated Xperia picture.

[HTC One V] GreatCaesar:
I'm using the myoneV ROM and I'm having problems sending more than one text at a time. Anything less than that works. Usually I would have just bugged the OP of the ROM but I've had this problem on other ROMs before, so I was wondering if anyone had a work around for this? This is what I'm currently running:

Full TWRP 2.4.4 wipe after coming from x3treme sense (no problems on that ROM)

Installed myonev9.5 ROM and sickkkernel 0.6 using TWRP

Everything out of the box is working fine but multiple sms.
[HTC One V] GreatCaesar:
Here are some screenshots of the issue while sending sms to my Google Voice account:

As you can see, sending less than one text (160 characters) works fine, but gives an error if its anymore.
[HTC One V] GreatCaesar:
UPDATE (kind of):

I did a full wipe again. Even re-downloaded the ROM and what not. But insteaad I used JMZ's kernel instead of the sickkernel and I got the same results. Screenshots:

As you can see, I got JMZ's kernel working and installed the modules correctly (with wifi signal as proof)

So what's going on here?

And I don't mind that I just posted my Google Voice number. It takes ~2 seconds to change anyways.
[HTC One V] FatBoy_Seconds:
I'm having the same issue too. But in using 3xreme Sense Alpha101 with sick kernel

[HTC One V] reV17:
I'm going to test this later today. I have not noticed this.
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
It has nothing to do with kernel or ROM but which message app is included in the ROM.

160 char is the hTC stock limit for stock message app.

More then 160 char is modded app
[HTC One V] -Duir-:
It could, in theory, still have to do with the ROM. The 160 characters is the limit for SMS, after the limit it converts the message to MMS, or simply breaks the message into multiple SMS messages. It could be the message is being converted to MMS and for some reason (ROM/app whatever) the message fails.

Like maybe there's one apn setting for SMS, which is entered correctly so it sends fine if < 160

But there's a seperate apn for MMS, which isn't correct, so when the message gets converted it fails.

Sent from my HTC One V.
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
Make a search on xda, you will not find any guide on how to fix a "ROM" for the 160 limit but you will only find how to "mod" the stock mms.apk or message.apk. E.g. increase the smsToMmsTextThreshold to certain value so that it won't be converted to MMS after certain limit.

So I take it as it's not the ROM problem but the limit imposed on the message app.

I just had this same problem with mine; because of the strange battery issue where my battery would read 90% when it was actually empty and slow charging once it was plugged in... The resolution for me was to plug it into the charger for 5 minutes and not touch it and then try a power on.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vman4:
Thanks Ill give it a go!!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
Plug it in to the wall charger, not a computer. Let it sit for 30 minutes and then hold all buttons down at the same time. This should let the tablet boot now and will bring you into fastboot mode. It defaults to "Start" so just hit the power button and the tablet will boot like normal. Once you verify the tablet will boot fine, shut it down and leave it plugged into the wall charger until the tablet is charged all the way.

Dont know if it is a coincidence or not but this is the 3rd time I have heard the same story and all people were using the Carbon ROM.

I want to root my nexus 7. I don't know how to all the tutorials are for windows or useing the tool kit I want to do it manually I don't have my boot loader unlocked
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
All the tutorials presume unlocking of the bootloader. afaik, nobody has bothered to find a separate privilege escalation method of rooting for the N7.

fastboot is available from Google (SDK) for Linux. That means that fastboot methods are identical, irrespective of platform.

There is nothing that prevents you from re-locking the bootloader after you have rooted - with the penalty that unlocking it later will cause a full wipe of /data.

Technically though, it is the *act* of unlocking the bootloader that causes a voiding of the warranty. If they really wanted to do it, I have no doubt Asus could detect a re-locked bootloader (by examining low-level flash write counters).

Seriously--that one you linked is only good if you already know how to do it. For someone that doesn't...it's useless.

I rooted my 7 months ago (unlocked bootloader, etc.), but lost root with the 4.2.2 update. I can't find the instruction set I used last time, and the tutorials I've found so far actually have me wishing whoever wrote them was here now so that I could beat the **** out of them.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
@fre1102

Well, I suppose that poorly written tutorials and a flood of newbs looking to be spoon fed is good for generating ad revenue for XDA. Not really great for what made it a compelling site in it's early history, though.

On the other hand, the OP asked a help question - and failed to do so in the help and questions forum. That certainly appears like a lack of paying attention, does it not?

I suppose you might have a complaint if you had actually been paying someone to give you advice, but to complain about the quality of something that costs you nothing seems a bit like an entitlement problem - whether you are correct in your appraisal or not.

It's an internet bulletin board - there is no barrier to entry and the quality is going to vary widely. That makes it YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to decide what to believe. It's not as if people are coming in to your home and forcing you to do any of this stuff.

Nobody here owes you anything; this site has always encouraged folks to take responsibility for their own actions. If you have a rooted device that is borked - simply put, that is YOUR FAULT. Period.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FBis251:
You can even cut that down by a step by installing the latest version of TWRP 2.4 which will autmatically detect an unrooted rom and root it for you.

I gotta admit though that getting some custom roms was a little confusing to me in the beginning after rooting and flashing a samsung phone using heimdall in Linux. It's the lack of a good guide that really didn't help. I was hoping that there would be a sticky in the Q&A or a wiki topic about it but those sections for the nexus 7 aren't that organized.

Maybe we should start using the wiki... It would be easier to keep up to date even if someone decides to abandon a thread since anyone else can go in and edit it, and if we get repeated questions we can just copy and paste a link for those who want to be spoon fed since they will always be a constant presence on this forum. ;)

EDIT:

I had to use the cyanogenmod rom building wiki to get a good, well-written guide on unlocking the n7 and flashing a custom recovery. Good thing I had started building the rom before I got the device shipped to me since it helped to have a "good" version of cwm6 laying around.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whaleshark345:
thanks guys I rooted it was easy just needed to adjust the commands for Ubuntu witch is just adding a "sudo ./" to the beginning of every command
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Good deal. Some folks go to the trouble of customizing some udev configuration files (I think it's udev, but can't remember right now) so that unprivileged Linux users have permissions on individual USB devices.

To me that seems like quite a bit of trouble for stuff that I do infrequently (using fastboot); I just drop to a root shell

$ sudo /bin/bash

#

and save a couple keystrokes with the fastboot commands.

BTW, when using adb from Linux, it is only necessary to start up the adb server with root privileges - the server process is the only thing needing privileges on the USB bus, so

$ sudo `which adb` devices

gets the party started but

$ adb pull /sdcard/myzipfile.zip

won't result in files owned by root.

Not surprisingly, all this stuff is less cumbersome using a Mac OS/X flavor of Unix - by default the USB devices are reachable by unprivileged users without any udev/hotplug diddling or sudo invocations.
