[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] daddlefan:
Hallo,

1. could you tell me why should I, following your little tut, flash custom-recovery? The stock-recovery also offers the option to wipe cache!?, So after interfering reboot to system, booting into bootloader selecting recovery and do a cache-wipe in stock-recovery shouldn´t be sufficient?

Or do you mean dalvik´s cache also?

2.Does this method works the same with the new bootloader Z30d ?

Thanks, an awnser is appreciated, daddlefan
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] abaaaabbbb63:
1. Well, i thought that the purpose of unlocking the bootloader would be to flash a custom recovery. Why not then?

2. I have no idea.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] daddlefan:
Hi thanks for your answer.

1. To get root you have to unlock, optionally "boot" into custom-recovery, flash Root-.zip, e.g reboot to stock-recovery. The question was if, additionally to wipe cache, a dalvik-cache wipe is necessary.

Following the original tut on this, the author even suggest some more "steps" which I can´t understand at all . Especially 9-10 which is a quite a bit contradicting:

2.) OK, I´ll do some experimenting and will post the results. Thanks for so far, daddlefan
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] pincher65:
on 4.4.2 castom reovery don´t flash - bootloop (eternal loading).
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sordna:
Not necessarily, some of us boot custom recoveries without actually flashing them.

Anyway it would be good to know if wiping cache via stock recovery does the trick too.

TWRP 2.6.3.3 flashes and works fine, I have tested both on 4.4 and 4.4.2
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] pincher65:
unlock Bootloader without wipe data ?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] daddlefan:
Nope, Flashing TWRP 2.6.3.3 and CWM 6.0.4.3 till .5 works perfect. on KitKat 4.4.0 and 4.4.2!

daddlefan
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sordna:
That's the idea but I unlocked my boot loader a year ago before learning all this, so I don't want to experiment with that unless I get a new device that I haven't put tons of data in it :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] daddlefan:
Thats what we are talking about! daddlefan

---------- Post added at 07:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ----------

That´s the same with me. But Nandroid-Backup, unroot, factory-reset, relock bootloader in fastboot, >>> and off we go. Just for fun! But not before weekend, maybe after christmas.

daddlefan
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] pincher65:
Today I did it four times, twice cwm 6.0.4.5 touch, twice twrp 2.6.3.3. result bootloop (eternal download) (sorry, Google Translate)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] daddlefan:
What did you do twice? Installing custom-rom, or unlocking bootloader with custom recovery-flash and reboot, for which Version KitKat? Did you use a toolkit for unlocking or just fastboot command?

Did you try this?

copied from Plognews.worldpress.com, Link:

http://plognews.wordpress.com/2013/02/07/how-to-unlock-android-nexus-bootloader-without-losing-data/

There is no date-stamp on the article,I don´t know for which Version Custom-Recovery nor Android-Version it was published..

Try just without flashing custom-recovery, just do a cache-wipe in stock.recovery! As abaaaabbbb63 said do not reboot into system.

I guess it has to to with the change in safety-features since 4.2.2, or was it since 4.3? daddlefan
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] pincher65:
not two, but four. my bootloder was unlock so flash stock recovery - lock bootloder - reboot - unlock bootloder and the method further strictly OP. does not work if bootloader makoz30d. just do not work program N-Cry, BootUnlocker .... none at all. I'm not new to this. my themes http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=400241
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] daddlefan:
Thanks for the info.! which Op did you follow? From abaaaabbbb63 ? Or the other one from Plognews? daddlefan
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] pincher65:
There is no one way to get root and flash castom recovery without losing data on 4.4.*
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Planet X:
You are absolutely right. There is no exploit yet found to be able to root 4.3 or 4.4. So we have to unlock the bootloader first to be able to root. So be glad you have got a Nexus device.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] zouden:
Well, this method worked up until the latest bootloader update with 4.4.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Zehlek:
For rooting part I get to daemon started successfully and that's all that that happens
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] bobgeneric:
Same for me.

Not worked on NEXUS 4 - KitKat 4.4.4. :'(
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] pincher65:
use Towelroot
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] bobgeneric:
AMAZING BUDDIE!!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! :victory::victory::victory:

I did root my device without unlock and wipe my data. :laugh::laugh:

You should do more reading before messing with your phone. Go back to stock before you brick.

[This is a duplicate of a post in another subforum here at XDA]

Hi, I developed an app that runs as a service and captures and upload your received snaps to your Dropbox account in the background!

This is by far the EASIEST way to grab your snaps. It grabs all snaps without marking them as opened and grabs snaps regardless of their length.

You don't even have to open Snapchat since this runs entirely in the background. When you receive a new snap, this service grabs it, copies it to a temporary folder, uploads it to Dropbox and then deletes it from your phone again.

Works flawlessly on both pictures and videos.

Sometimes Snapchat won't download videos before you open the Snapchat app, but when you do and it's ready to view, it takes some seconds and the video is available in your Dropbox.

This app follow Dropbox conventions and is in a Production state (not development).

You can check it out in the Google Play Store by searching for:

snap sync root

I am new to posting here, so I cannot post a link directly, bu check my signature for link!

I want feedback on this if you have, but please do not give me crap about it beeing unethical or something like that. I have already heard it all :)

I made this app solely because I could, even with my minimal Android development experience.
[Your Portfolio] thejondude:
where did your other post go? did you get to see my suggestion?
[Your Portfolio] dbtrumpetguy:
what happened, and why was this pulled from the Play Store???

SCRATCH that- it doesn't appear on Android 4.3?
[Your Portfolio] leximu5:
It appears the app is not targeting SDK version 18. This renders the app incompatible with Android 4.3 devices, thus it's not showed when you browse Google Play from a devices with THAT Android version.
[Your Portfolio] dbtrumpetguy:
But, it does work. I've used it on about 6 4.3 ROMS now, it just has to be restored from titanium backup
[Your Portfolio] Delta 32:
Doesn't work with the new snapchat update.
[Your Portfolio] trialsta:
No longer working

It doesn't work any more I'm afraid to report. I also tried sideloading Snapchat v3.0 but it didnt make a difference. The pictures don't show up how they used to in the recieved_image_snaps folder either. When you remove the .nomedia extension they still don't display.

Any ideas?
[Your Portfolio] Delta 32:
It works with sideloaded 3.1.15. I think i rebooted afterwards, and it works again.
[Your Portfolio] trialsta:
Yep it now works with 3.0, the classic off and on again technique! Also need to remember to turn off auto update in the play store.
[Your Portfolio] livinitwarrior:
Has this app been abandoned?
[Your Portfolio] im4tr3ason:
Yes, if you check the app on the play store they stated they stopped maintaining it.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flying_dutchman:
Hi,

Could anyone help me shortlist the custom ROMS for our Razr HD (possibly even split in XT925 / XT926) which can be used with Safestrap?

Most I see are now with unloacked bootloader, but....

For the moment I still have my locked bootloader & just curious on seeing other ROMs without unlocking. ;)

thanks for the help,

cheers!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vctrrl:
You can try InfliktedHD and Nexesque. Both for XT926, but working decently on XT925. They're both deodexed and zipaligned. They share the same stock kernel, but still a nice deal. Give them a try.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] storadm250:
Hi Users,

I installed the custom rom ******JELLY BLAST successfully on my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i but after few days I noticed some performance issues. For this, I tried re-installing another custom rom on my phone but as I used the recovery manager during boot to load the custom rom from SD card, none of the custom roms are getting installed.

Now my phone is *only* booting in the recovery mode but it is not installing any rom which I select through SD card. (Looks like some permission issues to the /system folder in android.

If someone can please suggest me any recovery steps, it would be great. I dont want my phone to be sitting with the service center folks for no reason but I want to recover it on my own.

Is there any way I can use any custom rom or a *.exe which I can use to install it from SD card which will overcome the permission issue and then install the custom rom without any issue. Note: The phone is only booting to the default Andoid Recovery mode but not to the ClockWorkMOD recovery.

Thanks in advance!

Taz~

[LG Optimus 3D] Dr. Mario:
Also, ensure that your USB cord is still good - I didn't need a sync cable at all, I just force the BIOS update. For the last resort, 910 kiloohms resistor is all it needs, do that with cheap USB cord, probably like Samsung USB cord (I hate this cord, always breaking but I did like one thing about it, I did just simply crack open the case and modify the USB plug for USB-OTG). Otherwise buy better USB cord that requires force to pull them apart, so there's low chance of bricking when you sneeze.

And, try forcing update driver the second time or reinstall with different installation aid (*ini), you would be able to flash BIOS.

That might also be a problem of the usb port of the phone,it might be damaged,or problem of phone's memory if the 2nd stage btloader is being uploaded there..

Pls don't make it default. The default blue color of font and icons in status bar make it very hard to see anything, unless you use black background!

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Starflare5:
Hi Guys, I posted this before in another forum:

"I have a T-Mobile Samsung Exhibit II 4G and it originally came with the (what I like to call) the dreaded Gingerbread which operated like comeplete crap on this device. Now, I had already rooted it awhile ago and also installed Clockworkmod Recovery. Recently, the phone almost caused me to get into a car accident while just attempting to dial my other half because the dialer froze completely and eventually crashed. At this point, I decided I had enough and went ahead and installed Baked Black Bean/Jelly Bean 4.2.2.

Overall, the operating system runs beautifully with one very odd exception that started out a bit odd. After I first installed the OS, it seemed to be having alot issues mounting both internal and external SD memory especially after a reboot.

I partially resolved the issue by deleting all of the default folders that the Android OS puts onto the SD memory both external and internal USB storage (Andriod, .android, .android_secure etc.). Now what typically happens is that if I reboot the phone at any time, it drops or unmounts both storage medias. The only way I have found to get them to comeback is to plug the phone into a computer and turn on USB storage, wait for the folder to come up, close it, then turn off USB storage an make sure that it states "preparing SD card" in the notification bar. Even though I do this, the phone has already lost ringtome settings and others pertaining to anything stored on the SD memory.

I have read that this is a rather common issue with Jelly Bean itself, but, has anyone figured out a way to fix it completely? Please let know being that I might be somewhere and not near a computer to restore it to normal operation."

I am happy to now say that I have resolved the issue in an unusual way. I ended up having to buy a replacement system board for my device due to the dreaded USB port issue, however, I have made a backup of my old board completely before the battery died out. Anyway, I restored everything and ran into the same issue of course, so, I decided to try out a different ROM and I tried AOKP. Now this ROM appeared to have solved the card mounting issue, however, for some strange reason, had a severe issue with Google Search, so, I then decided to restore back my old Baked Bean OS, however, I didn't delete everything before restoring and just restored right over AOKP, and voila, the SD cards now both mount normally with NO other issues.

Here's a suggestion until the issue is fixed in Baked Bean 4.2.2: Install another ROM first, then install baked bean as an upgrade or restore over it and this should prevent further issues. I've only done this with AOKP and Baked Bean so be careful.

Hope this helps,

Starflare5.
