I believe there is a way to enable USB debugging through adb/fastboot.

Let me dig a little more, I remember seeing a couple of threads a while back when I was helping another user, I'll get back to you.

In the meantime try searching for a way to do it, two can find more quicker than one can.

---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------

You said that adb recognizes the device, can you pull build.prop from the phone? If so, you might be able to edit prop with this line:

persist.service.adb.enable=1

Or this:

persist.service.adb.enable=1 persist.service.debuggable=1 persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb

Then push the edited prop back to the device and it just might get USB debug going for you.

I'm still digging, will be back with more.

[MENTION=5945148]ELutts[/MENTION], everything else I'm finding is for turning on USB debug via PC on a device with a broken screen, that's no help for you.

Tried your idea and I got nothing yet. Thanks for taking the time to look for me. I appreciate that.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Don't give up yet, your familiarity with the device and where everything for it is at will do you more good than I can.

Just to clarify what state your device is in, what modes if any will it boot to and exactly what responses are you getting from the device when plugging it to charger and connecting to pc? Can you interact via adb in any way? If adb is doing anything at all then there is something you can do one way or another.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Dude. Use the reply/quote button. I'm trying to go back to help you, but when you don't use it, I/we can't go back to see the original issues and responses. But I scrolled back a few pages and found it I think.

Truthfully, tl;dr

You didn't get to the point.

I see that ADB recognizes your phone. adb reboot-bootloader doesn't work? If it does you should be able to do something from there.

Like I said, I couldn't follow along because you never used the reply button. I have no idea what has been suggested or tried by you.

How do kernel relate to mods?!

IF I want to update/upgrade or change KERNEL....ho do I relate to cell/mod to avoid brickin'?

thx in adv ;)
[General Questions and Answers] ELutts:
Ok, so my phone will do nothing except boot into a loop. That's all. No interaction whatsoever. And both Windows and Ubuntu notice that the device is there l, but they say something to the effect of "Nexus 4 will not mount," or close to that anyway. The phone reacts to nothing, and neither ADB or Fastboot, or sideload even, does anything. The phone just keeps on looping.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Sounds like a Jtag candidate to me.

I'm not familiar with nexus devices enough to know whether this will work on them or not but have you looked into seeing if using a debrick/unbrick.img on extsd card to boot from is a workable method for it? An unbrick.img can on some devices be used to convert a microsd card into a boot disc of sorts as you would with an Ubuntu/Linux live CD/USB. If that method works on nexus then if the device is able to boot at all it could boot from the SD card.

Then you could turn on USB debug and get to work getting it all straightened out, then when you're done just revert the SD card to a normal usable read/write state.

---------- Post added at 01:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 AM ----------

What exactly are you asking? I don't understand your question.
[General Questions and Answers] ELutts:
That's a really great idea in theory, but since the Nexus 4 has only internal memory and no SD card slot, that's also not feasible. Good thinking though.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Does it have OTG support? I don't know if booting from OTG would work though, I've never seen it mentioned anywhere.
[General Questions and Answers] ELutts:
Here's the beginning of the article I found...

This is no simple app install - root is required, as well as modifying your phone's software. No hardware modifications to the phone itself are needed, but you will need a special cable, which can be purchased or built at home. Ready to jump in? Hit the break for the complete guide.

Background

The first problem with getting OTG*working on the Nexus 4 is that*the kernel*does not support it. This has been solved using a modified version of*Franco's kernel. The second problem is that the Nexus 4 cannot physically supply the necessary*5 volts. The way around this is to use a Y-cable, and supply the needed voltage from an outside power source such as a wall outlet or external battery pack. Some users have also reported success using a powered USB hub.

Part 1 - preparing the software

To solve the software problem, you'll need to*root your Nexus 4*if you haven't already done so. Make sure you're on a*deodexed ROM*- I'm usingCyanogenMod's*10.1*M2 release. Once you're set up, head over to*ziddey's thread*and download his zip file (found at the bottom of the first post; "ziddey-otg-03192013.zip" is the latest as of this writing), which you'll flash in your*custom recovery. This zip contains the the modified kernel, framework, and system files needed to make OTG work.

It goes on from there. So yes, it does...after I figure out how to get it to stop looping so I can finish putting the Lollipop framework on it. Lol, jeez this isn't getting any easier to figure out.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I saw where you said something to another member earlier about why that happens, but I was posting from my phone and didn't realize that happened. Of course it would have to happen on the longest post in the entire thread. I don't blame you one bit for removing the whole thing, but it wasn't my intention to do that.

I guess you read that info though and see where the OTG idea kind of won't work at this point, right? I really am stumped.

Need help freeing space on my phone. Tried searching up already but none helped.

My device has 16gb.

System uses about 5-6gb

I only used about 4gb of my phone

So I'm supposed to have around 4-5gb left. But my phone is showing that I have only 1gb freespace left.

I have this miscellaneous 5gb space that I couldn't locate. I tried space analyzer and cleaners. Still didn't able to find that 5gb.

What should I do?
[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
The biggest reason according to me is that because no one has worked on it and they most probably will never be able to.

Android is open source and that's the reason we have all sorts of different ROMs available for many devices but on the other hand, Windows Phone is proprietary and closed source, that means no one has access to its source codes other than Microsoft and OEMs and only they can build Windows based firmware for a device.

And then there's the massive difference of the whole architecture of the both operating systems.

What's even worse is that we don't even have basic tools and drivers to access the device at a hardware level of a Windows Phone directly, something like Odin which is available to the general public in case of Android. Although there was a software called something like Nokia Device Manager(I think) which could be used to flash the stock firmware on a Lumia devices but that's about it.

Windows has an Android emulator?

No offence but I had really given up hope on Windows Phone but it seems like the scene has started to change.

---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 PM ----------

Have you modified your device on the software side in any way?

Try booting into recovery and clearing the cache(dalvik cache as well, if possible).

If nothing good comes out of that, the you could plug your device into your PC and check for yourself manually.

Hello, everyone!

I have just rooted my phone this morning after doing much research and I knew there would probably be a place to ask questions before me making a useless thread asking for help.

Now, I am very new to this and all I wanted to know is where I can possibly find all the beginner files. So far I've downloaded Titanium Backup, AdAway and Root Explorer, but when I look at the apps, I have NOT A CLUE on what I'm doing. I'd love to learn what I can possibly do with my phone, as I hear there is endless possibilities.

Hoping someone can lend a hand. Thanks!

I haven't modified any.

Is it safe to transfer the contents of phone's internal storage to my pc then format the internal storage using my pc?
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
the best thing to do would be to go to your devices forum and read read read.

imo, you have already jumped the gun, by rooting before you know why exactly you needed to, or what to do with it.

the very first things you will want to read are how to make backups (if possible) and how to return your device to stock.

you will inevitably break something, and you need to know how to fix it before learning how to break it with root and mods.

boot loop with oxydo-revamped

Hi,

I am trying to make Sgt. Meow's oxydo-revamped kernel play nice with my N7 2012 grouper. Don't have enough post counts to ask in the development thread, hence my query here. So far I've tried BlissPop, Orion LP and Chroma, all of which are reported to work well according to the responses in the thread. BlissPop and Orion LP work fine by themselves, it is only when I flash oxydo-revamped on top of them the tablet gets stuck (the former in the boot animation, latter in a blank screen). Chroma gets stuck in boot animation with or without a separate kernel flash. This is with factory wipe and/or manual flash of system/data/cache/dalvik. I've read encryption on the user storage (sdcard) partition could be a possible cause, so I wiped that out also at no avail. Attempting to fix permissions in TWRP advanced yielded "failed" message for whatever reason.

The reason I want this kernel is without it I can't get the tablet to do fast charging in OTG host mode - really must have that for in-car use.

Where do I go from here?
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
should be fine, but im not sure why you would want to do that. if you intend to put all the files back after formatting, whatever issue you are trying to fix, will likely come right back.
[General Questions and Answers] HybridxReality:
I hear you. Yeah, I had done a small bit of research on why you would want to root and it sounded like a good idea, but what I did the main research on was how to root my phone.

I guess I better not mess with anything until I know what I'm dealing with.

Regardless, I appreciate the help and will definitely spend a lot of time reading info on my device. Thank you!

---------- Post added at 07:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 AM ----------

oh I already have plenty of those to go around, a few working and a few others broken lol

the trouble is, you can't charge with any charger while you are accessing usb peripherals with the tablet as a host unless you have the right kernel. I got a USB DAC, DVB-T adapter and a usb rotary volume knob as a permanent fixture, meaning I need a kernel that can handle these AND charge at the same time.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Depending on your device and whatever kernel and kernel development there is for it you can use kernels to control many different aspects of how the software interfaces with the hardware of your device, read ahead speeds, read speeds, write speeds, controlling minimum and maximum speeds of your CPU and/or your GPU, more things than I can list, there are tools that let you tweak the kernel to optimize, minimize or maximize your device. This only works on kernels that support it.

As for figuring out compatibilities you need to go to whatever forum there us for your device or to where you get the CM12 that you install, users with your device would have those answers for you, that requires specific information that is better to come from someone that has the device and has done it or maybe even message the developer of the kernel you attempt to use and ask if it works with the ROM you want or what ROM it does work with.

Turns out I was only able to use 8gb storage out of 16gb from Samsung Galaxy S5

will rooting this thing and using a different rom will solve this?
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
unlikely. various partitions have set sizes, and even if you install a rom thats much smaller than the stock one, the size reserved for it wont change.

however, im not a sammy expert, but 50% of your storage going to the non data portions seems a bit high, but may be normal.

either way, as i said, rooting and a rom wont change the default partition allocations.

May I ask what version of TWRP you are using? Please upgrade to the latest and retry. You can also PM me or quote this post to grab my attention. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
[General Questions and Answers] ELutts:
Welcome to the Android life. You're official now that you've got root. JK. I've been a huge fan of Titanium Backup, but I paid for the Pro version of it because it's a must have app. As well as Stericson Busybox Pro, Root Checker Pro by Joey Krim, SuperSU Pro, TWRP manager, Greenify, and some kind of kernel management app. ClockworkMod makes ROM Manager which has a bit of everything you'll need in it, but if you want to go lighter than that the Franco Kernel Updater is pretty solid. Also make sure to get Market Update Helper and Media Sync for Titanium Backup or you've really only solved the backup problem. Occasionally you don't have to do a total backup, or you just get fed up with your apps, or want to flash a new ROM, and they'll help you reconnect and sync your apps automatically and pull your data back to your device much easier. Hope that helps.

Hi everybody, I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 4G+ (SM-G901F) with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop. I want to install this ROM (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-simplegx-rom-v1-0-0-t3072269) but when I look to the install procedures, I have a lot of noob questions and I don't seem to find any noob guide that explains them, so here it goes:

- If you want to install this ROM (coming from Samsung KitKat firmware) :

I have Lollipop, but this isn't a problem I guess?

1. Backup everything you need (internal & external).

What is external or internal? I suppose it just means copy your videos, pictures, music, files, ... on your PC, right?

2. Download and flash THIS exact firmware via Odin (load as AP),

So I have to connect my phone to my PC, start Odin, select AP and click start. Does my phone need to be OFF or just in normal mode? Or download mode?

3. Reboot in Download mode,

Shut my phone off, then reboot with home button + volume down key + on/off key. Afterwards press volume up to continue.

4. Flash xdamc2010's unofficial PhilZ CWM-based recovery via Odin (load as AP),

Again flashing. So I suppose this is in download mode.

5. Reboot to your new CWM recovery,

Shut phone OFF and then ON and then CWM pops up or ... ?

6. Go to "Wipe and Format Options",

7. Select "Clean to install a New ROM",

8. Flash the ROM,

So I have to flash the exact same firmware from step 2 again?

9. Reboot and enjoy !
