are you running a custom rom?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indian84:
No. I was on Stock. Rooted. No recovery installed.. :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
fastboot flash a recovery, and you could load a custom rom. twrp recovery has an option to push files to your phone with adb. you can push a rom to your phone then flash it in your recovery. or you can flash the stock image via fastboot http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2183555

Thanx Bro. My nexus is up and running now..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] looppingz:
Today I tried fastboot and flash 4.3 stock rom on my nexus 4, root and stock rom.

For some reason the zip on "sdcard" is failing (error 7 code strange as it was full stock) letting me a stuck google boot.

I tried to wipe cache without success.

I am sure the solution is somewhere here as already said in that topic: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2183555

But what line should I follow first? Ideally I would like to flash 4.3 or 4.2.2 without factory reset.

Any advice?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indian84:
Is your boot loader unlocked?? If yes you won't loose any data if you follow the above procedure.. But if not, I think the chances of saving data are low. You can install 4.3 directly if you have the files. I updated mine yesterday using the same method.. I was on slimbeam..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] looppingz:
Yes I am unlocked/rooted. The thing is 4.3 install fails either from sdcard or doing a sideload. I will try 4.2.2 but I am starting to worry a bit...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indian84:
If you are unlocked, try this. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2010312

Download 4.3 factory image from here https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/takju-jwr66v-factory-c2ef855e.tgz.

Hopefully this should help.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] looppingz:
Thanks this is what I am currently following but I trying to do some good backup before doing step d10 over there.

I just manage to adb pull the sdcard content. Anyuthing else I should and can recover with adb pull?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indian84:
Not sure mate.. Search the forum.. Should help...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] looppingz:
I have been reading and applying more carrefully http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2010312 without D10. It is well writen and it is looking to be a safe and efficient to me. I even started by installing 4.2.2 again, then backup then 4.3 with the same method.

4.3 up running and rooted!

No data loss, some stuff learnt and a new backup!

If a new OTA is popping up I will look for the same method.

My first thought was, what would a smart person do? lol

I thrill to the idea of being able to do what you devs do. If education is not an obstacle, then

Are you able to make a good living? 50K and up?

Are you secure in your income?

Are you secure in your job?

And probably most relevant, where's the industry going?

Thoughts?

Hello,

Just got a strange hard-reset which makes me thinking of doing a backup every once in a while.

Question is, what's the best backup software out there, I want to backup the whole system (with every program i install), to my PC, and when i need to restore it, the program will restore every thing, including my files, my programs, my Adjustements in programs, Every single thing.

Any Ideas please.

Thanks.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ajong:
Sprite Backup

try 'SPRITE BACKUP'

you can backup & restore, whatever file that you have !!!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] dark_hawk:
Does it support backing up the whole operating system to a file on the computer and restoring it when necessary, I mean i will install everything i need, make a backup. If the device made a hard-reset again, will that mean i will be able to restore the device to the working state with all the programs installed, every actavation made, every registeration done..????
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Carlos:
It will do a complete, instant-restoring full backup which will make the device work just like you had it before the hard reset.

I had to test this on an airplane the other day. Had a mysterious, spontaneous lockup and hard reset. My Sprite backup was only a couple hours old, so not a huge loss.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] HDJ80:
Sprite Backup can make backups like exe files.

You can make copies compressed and even encoded. Also you can program automatic copies according to time or load of the battery.

You can select if you want to copy all the system or only the content of RAM.

You can select if you want to exclude some types from files.

You can select the space or the maximum number of copies.

I think it is the best.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ednap:
I agree, SpriteBackup Premium is the best. Can backup & restore EVERYTHING to a PC or even your SD card. No need to reload the Sprite application first either. Just double click the *.exe file

Hello,

I'm planning to get this device soon and I wanted to know if anyone knows if it uses a Wolfson DAC like the Note 2. How is the sound quality with a good headset? Thanks in advance.

I checked the audio chip using the z-device test and it does have the wm1811 dac.

Can't say much about Sq since my sennheiser broke.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] FaeMinx:
I'm not an audiophile, so I wouldn't even know where to begin describing or measuring things like soundstage, brightness, etc...

But I have a very capable portable media player in the form of the Open Pandora... This device produces superb sound as the internals were designed and parts chosen by an audiophile.

Using my Sennheiser MX470 buds to compare the same track on both devices...

The Note 8.0 produces decent sound, but i don't know how else to say it... compared to the Pandora, the sound is a bit flat, in other words - i'm not immersed to the same degree as I am with the Pandora - where the sound appears to completely envelope me. Also I can hear more + finer detail with the Pandora...

But keep in mind the Pandora produces better sound than the AudioQuest Dragonfly Dac.

Here is a review of the Pandora's Sound capabilities and all relevant info: http://www.head-fi.org/products/open-pandora/reviews/8570

But I never expected the Note 8.0 to compare. So far, in my limited experience, I haven't come across a single device that can beat the Pandora in the sound department.

All in all I am very pleased with the sound the Note 8.0 produces. :)

- it's clean, has a good range, plenty of volume, and plenty of detail in the high and low notes. If I didn't own a Pandora, I wouldn't know what I was missing. ;)

Of course we still need a de facto audiophile to come test the sound quality and give the final word...

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] zounduser:
Hey guys. Well, like the title says ......

Im having trouble flashing unlocktoken. Ive never had this problem before, but then i was using my win7 dell.

Ok, so, im using windows xp, i have adb installed, fastboot, and drivers. The laptop reads the device fine, and fastboot works, somewhat. Lol. But adb is a no go.

So, obviously i was able to pull my unlock_code.bin using fastboot. But when i try to flash it, this is what i get.....

Sending unlock_code.bin 0kb.......

And thats it? It just hangs. I see one problem being the size is 0kb. The size should read 1kb. Ive tried redownloading the code numerous times, ive tried replacing the adb, and fastboot files as well. ive also tried rebooting the laptop.

Im at the end of my rope, with this damn laptop!!! Ill have my dell back soon, and cant wait! Xp sucks!

Anyways, any thoughts guys? I appreciate it.

[HTC Droid DNA] Dave51495:
That looks amazing! I ended up just getting the front armored. My mall only had a white carbon fiber back, which I didn't want. And the people at my nearest mall are extremely incompetent. They had to redo it a lot. The guy also kept telling me they didn't have one for my phone, without even checking. He kept telling me that if I ordered it online, they'd put it on for me. I had to ask him to check 3 or 4 times. Next time I go to a different mall, I'm gonna see if they can just put the back on. Thanks for posting those pictures!

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] KosecK:
On any and all computing devices i ever owned i could format the drive and reInstall a bootloader and OS. What about flashing The Xperia T bootloader over a formated TL bootloader and flashing the TL Firmware on the T's bootloader, then unlock and rom? For the devs is this possible.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] crazymister:
This won't work, as the bootloader status is placed in the TA partition and that partition is secured.

Changing TA will often lead to a hard brick.

TA partition stores all your device specific information like imei, model, country of origin, bootloader status, drm keys, etc...

A different firmware will never change TA partition, and thus not change your bootloader status
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AndroidHoneyComb:
A .TA file can unlock a bootloader. But this requires a lot of development and can cause a hard brick if one mistake is made

( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2053466 )
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] crazymister:
[/COLOR]

i never said TA can't unlock bootloader, i just said flashing a different firmware (T firmware on a TL device) won't help you unlock you device ;)

and the way i read it i implied .TA CAN change your bootloader status, BUT that changing TA will often (ok should've made it almost always) hard brick you device

Hi

I was using an external GPS through serial port, using a usb/rs232 ->sync cable. Everything was working great. Now, after i upgraded to 1.72 ROM, i cannot connect to the external GPS one all kind of software that i try tells me that com1 does not exist, even if it appears on available ports as "SERIAL CABLE ON COM1".

Also, all other ports do not connect to my device.

Any clue ?

thanks
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] hbatista:
SOLVED!

I got it! It was beam settings, blocking the com1. I wasn't able to disable beam, since the checkbox near "Receive all incoming requests" was not appearing, but after clicking in the text, it appears.

Now i have beam connections disabled and it works

Girlfriend moving from a Droid 2 to a S4, however I'm having issues coming to a solution of backup up app data from the Droid 2 so for a smoother migration and non starting over of games. If the phones were rooted, it would be no issue, however both phones are not rooted nor will the S4 be rooted. Not my phone, it's hers. I've tried adb backup command, but because the Droid 2 is not android 4.0+, it will not work. Koushe's Helium app will not install as it has issues with Motorola phones.

it has to do if they are favorites(starred in android) or not!

all the favorite contacts have high quality pics and all that arent "starred in android" have small pictures

a small walkthrough i have found is to have internet connected, sync on and the contacts that you want to edit you press the star at each contact one by one

and you wait for about 3-4 seconds and then you press again the star so to be removed from favorites contacts

plz try and let me know!
