[General Questions and Answers] SuperDroid519:
I have. It's a mediatek device and there's a few sites dedicated to the chipset, but communication with the dev holds me back. Plus every site says different things even though it's for the same device which doesn't help. The directions I am provided (when read literally) tell me to copy files from the port ROM to the base ROM and if I'm not flashing the base ROM it makes no sense to me and then I question the entire thing. I just wish someone would take 30 mins to explain things properly so I wouldn't have to bug people so much.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It almost comes down to requiring someone else with your device/chipset to get you through it, the things you'll have to do are kinda specific what you are working with, the general method is the same but the little details that matter differs from device to device.

No offense, I love xda, paid for the app and everything, but xda is no good for my device. The Russian and Chinese websites have all the info and with the scrambled translations on top of my inexperience it's not even worth it. In so trying though. I spend hours trying my best.

Start troubleshooting your errors, do some searches based on the specific errors you are getting.

Do some looking into whether or not their are some device specific factors involved other than your chipset.

[General Questions and Answers] Toronadian:
Does flashing Cerberus zip to install it as a system app affect me in anyway in the future with taking OTA updates? Recently got a Zenfone 2 and rooted it (yes I'm aware of the whole unrooting before taking OTA update with this phone). Wanted to install Cerberus on it (which I have, but just the disguised APK version) via flashing it on the custom recovery (temporary one, all-out working one not available yet because of locked bootloader). I've installed Cerberus as a system app on my previous phone the Nexus 4 but each time prior to taking an OTA update on that phone I would revert to a stock nandroid backup before updating so I wouldn't know if Cerberus as a system app had any effect on OTA updates.

[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
Great, that's good news.

Maybe you missed a file or something while porting that's why it won't get pass the boot animation, recheck everything.

Go to someplace like unlock river and buy an unlock code. Don't know why tmo won't give you the code if you've paid off your device. They give us our unlock codes via email about two days after we buy them. I just request them while in store when I but the device.

[General Questions and Answers] Harry56:
MSL reset vs Factory reset vs CWM reset: Differences?

How are MSL reset, Factory reset from the settings menu, and Clockworkmod reset from the recovery, different from one another?

For each of these, what gets reset to factory- and most importantly what doesn't?

I'm asking because after backing up my rooted Kitkat 4.4.2 Sprint Galaxy S3 using Clockworkmod and Titanium Pro I did an MSL reset. Since then, I have been unable to get my phone working properly. I reloaded everything from scratch. Google maps can't save maps, waze won't open, titanium can't access the backup directory. I tried doing a factory reset, same thing. Tried CWM reset, clearing cache partition, clearing dalvik, all with the same result. And when I restored from my CWM backup, I got error messages saying, "com.google.process.gapps has stopped." I could got get rid of these error messages.

So that's why I am asking about what I might have done by using MSL reset. I am trying to get back to a clean slate. And also, trying to understand how I should have reset my phone in order to be able to later restore from my Clockworkmod backup.

Thanks for reading, and hopefully for your reply...

Thank you very much

Thank you so very much for your reply. I have heard about mtmichaelson's one click tool, but I couldn't find it. I've also read threads at forums where I believe others have built upon the mtmichaelson's one click tool. The one link I saw for it led to a place where the file was removed, so I couldn't get a copy. I have never heard about the All-In-One (AIO) package.

I DID read and look at screenshots for the Avatar ROM, and it looked interesting, but since I am running android 4.0.4, will there be a conflict between android versions? (Sorry I have to ask NOOB questions like that).

Can you let me know where I can find these? It would be greatly appreciated.

Google Play Store won't install/update apps... yes, I've tried every other solution

I am having a very aggravating issue. When I try to install or update an app, it gets stuck on "downloading". It doesn't even show a progress bar.

My HTC Droid Incredible 2 has been rooted, and running Gingerbread 2.3.4. Google Play store was operating as it should. Today I installed a build of Cyanogenmod 10 (update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-vivow-BRACKETKANG-04_08_12-signed-v.3) with Jellybean (Android 4.1.1). I flashed the corresponding gapps download (gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip) from cyanogenmod.org. This is the thread I used to do this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1779986

I have re-flashed the gapps, cyanogenmod, and even tried various other cyanogenmod and gapp versions. I can not download or update apps. I accepted the terms, etc and it says downloading indefinitely. I have tried emptying the cache, force closing, reinstalling Google Play. I have also downloaded older versions of the app. Currently, I have version 3.9.16 installed. I have been using clockworkmod to install cyanogenmod and gapps, if that is helpful information.

I have scoured the internet looking for a solution. I am not allowed to post on the above mentioned thread, I guess I haven't posted on XDA enough in order to have access. If there is anymore information I can provide that would make it easier/possible to solve this problem, please let me know!

Thank you very much,

Darman

---------- Post added at 05:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 AM ----------

Awesome, I think I can help you with this one, I ran into the same problem when installing Cyanogenmod. I assume you have the Android SDK bundle found here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html This includes the adb and fastboot stuff. If not maybe you have just a fastboot directory.

Whichever case may be, navigate to the directory which contains fastboot. In the case of the Android SDK bundle, it will be in the platform-tools folder. Also, open the zip folder of the MIUI, and look for a file called boot.img. Copy that file, and paste it in the folder with fastboot. Then, while in that folder, shift+right click and select "open command window here".

Put your phone into fastboot mode, and connect it to your computer via USB cable.

Type, "fastboot devices" to make sure your phone is connected. Then, type "fastboot flash boot boot.img". When it says it is finished, reboot your phone and it should boot all the way! When I did this, it took a few minutes once it got to to the Cyanogenmod loading screen because it was the first time booting to the new ROM. I assume whatever ROM you installed will have some kind of screen for it.

Good luck, I hope this helps! If you need clarification, just let me know :)

Cheers,

Darman12
