[ROM][OTA][mako]Android 4.2.2 JDQ39: Rooted Busybox Deodexed/Odexed (2/13/13)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megaman1574:
Yes, definitely. I can't remember why I didn't make a backup...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megaman1574:
Ok, if I can't fix it by tonight I'll download this and flash it (My download limit during the day is too small to download it. That's why I'm trying to fix it without doing that)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megaman1574:
I'm not that good with Android, how and when do use this "logcat"?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
adb should be second nature to anyone who has rooted/unlocked their phone or flashed custom roms. (But I'm guessing you just used a toolkit).

ie: phone plugged in while it's booting, you'd type

adb logcat

and if adbd is launched on the phone you'll see the logs as they are produced which might offer some clues as to where it's failing.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megaman1574:
I actually rooted it manually because A: The toolkit I had didn't work, and B: It's more fun. But I had never used the logcat command. I figured out how to call the command but it kept saying "file not found" or something because I didn't think to have it booting. I'm trying that now. Ok, it says

C:\Users\Lachlan>adb logcat

adb server is out of date. killing...

ADB server didn't ACK

* failed to start daemon *

- waiting for device -

adb server is out of date. killing...

ADB server didn't ACK

* failed to start daemon *

error:

* daemon started successfully *

- waiting for device -

adb server is out of date. killing...

* daemon started successfully *

And then sits there with a flashing cursor after the last line.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
It tells you what the problem is right here:

adb server is out of date. killing...

adb is out of date, update it. (on OSX or Linux you would just run android update adb, I assume the same probably works on windows for the SDK).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megaman1574:
My adb version is 1.0.31. As far as I know that is the latest version. I don't actually have the Android SDK because I had trouble installing it. I installed adb separately. Plus, with all the other commands it says it's out of date but then works anyway.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
Weird, but far as the SDK goes, all I did was unpack the SDK onto my desktop. And just hit up the platform-tools folder, type the command android , to bring up the java app so I can choose what I want installed (updating can be done without the GUI by doing android update sdk --no-ui , or can remove the last part if you want to see the window).

So to me it wasn't much different on windows as it was on my mac (just easier to add adb/fastboot to my path variable in OSX).

PS: You're correct, the latest version does appear to be 1.0.31
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megaman1574:
Ok, after much fiddling I still can't make it boot so I'll have to download the stock rom tonight. Should I get odexed or deodexed? Will I be able to restore my data backup after flashing the rom? And will OTA updates work after flashing?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
I haven't done it myself, but I don't think the OTA update will work if you have a custom recovery (and if the OTA update does go thru, it can possibly unroot your install). odexed is usually the original state.

Odexed are optimized (can be faster to load etc), where as deodexed are easier to modify/theme (most are originally odex'd as they're not intended to be modified later).

If you were already on stock, and you flash a stock rom (with just rooted being the difference) then the data you already have in /data should work. You can basically wipe /system but not /data and just flash the rom and boot up. (just be sure to make a backup of the data first if you can).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megaman1574:
Ok... I had managed to move the backup of build.prop into system using TWRP's file manager but after THAT it wouldn't even show the Nexus logo. Hence the reason I said nothing about this (I thought it to be a dead end). Just as I was about to give up, I was reading an obscure post on Androidforums.com and came across a post telling the guy to pull build.prop, edit it, push it back, and chmod it to 644. I haven't the FAINTEST clue what the hell that is, but I remembered that "chmod" and "chmod 755" were two options when you tap on a file in TWRP's file manager. So I raced back in there, deleted the broken build.prop, moved the backup into system, tapped on it and pressed "chmod 755" rebooted and it worked! Anyone have any idea what is was that I did? What is chmod? But basically:

I FIXED IT YAY!!!

Thanks everyone for your help. I've been desperate to fix it, in fact, when I broke it was an hour before I had to leave for a weekend trip, so I had no phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megaman1574:
My Nexus 7 is rooted with TWRP and it received an OTA update. But anyway, if you refer to my last post I fixed it. :D

Edit: However, it did unroot it. (not hard to reroot though)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
chmod 644 is a command to change file permission, the 644 is an octal number, each digit is in the place of owner-group-other/everyone

1 = execute

2 = write

4 = read

2 + 4 = 6 = read + write

4 = write (no permission to execute/write)

755 would basically give the owner of the file the ability to do anything (7 = 1 + 2 + 4), the group the ability to read and execute ( 1 + 4 ), and any other user/group the same permission to read or execute (folders are normally 755, with files being 644).

It's a pretty common thing in the linux/unix enviroment.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sly Bastard:
Ok, have searched couldn't find any information about my question directly. Am looking at unlocking my first HTC device (My Samsungs were so much easier...not easier but less complicated) and have a question in relation to the warranty and the process of unlocking as first time have to deal with the Tampered flag and HTC Dev.

Unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty but now that there is S-off you can get rid of the tampered flag. But you still have to have to use HTC Dev to unlock the bootloader. So won't HTC have a log of you doing this and can void your warranty irrespective if you get rid of the tampered flag and relock the phone? As am from Australia may not deal with HTC direct but you never know.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryryzz:
Well, requesting an Unlock_code.bin from HTCDev doesn't mean you're gonna use it and HTC will never know if you'd use the token or not. So, imho I think warranty should be fine as long as you set your bootloader to "locked" status before sending it for service.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenPope:
You don't need to go through HTCDev if you use revone.

hello there , im new to htc but have read a lot about rooting and unlocking , so i was getting excited to root my new HTC ONE which i bought from Dubai just few days ago , anjd b4 doing anything and just going to the bootloader there was my surprise!!!! it says " tampered and unlocked" shudnt this be only if i unlocked it personally????, and adding to my surprise when i wanted to check the stock recovery which it turned out to be CWM ,, now im wondering , does this come with a new Fon or does it mean the Seller sold me a used Fon?

thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoryTallman:
The boot loader being unlocked could possibly be wherever you bought it installing third party software, but no new phone will come with CWM Recovery.

So much to my dismay my original samsung MHL 2.0 cable needs to be connected directly from the s4 to the tv. I have my AVR in the middle (7.1 sounds system, also handles dts HD / Dolby True HD), so I plugged in the s4 > MHL 2.0 > AVR > TV. It gave me a message saying I need to connect to my tv directly.

Anyone else face this?

Hello, I just bought a new 5200mAh extended battery for my galaxy s4 and was wondering how can I properly calibrate the battery for better battery performance. Any tips will be helpful. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
Just charge it to full and then use it to about 5% to 10% (or less) before charging it to full again. Due that for the first 3 or 4 cycles and you will be good. All of the battery calibration apps out there are BS.

Okay that sounds simple. Thanks for the advice!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] g2tegg:
Just picked up this phone a week ago and I was very sceptical at first. Being a long time Samsung user and a fan of TW I'd thought I couldn't get used to the Sense..

But the phone is still in my hands. Not because of battery life, or screen. But because of the amazing sound out of those tiny speakers. Today I went to a local air show and thought I'd see how the mic's would enjoy some extreme loud scenarios.

As you will here, the One does exceptionally well. I've taken many cell phones to concert events and hockey games that just can't record properly when under anything loud.

This is also by far the loudest I have ever recorded a video before. The video does not do it justice. A F-18 flying that close, I can't describe it. You can feel it in your chest.

Anyways, enjoy!

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mikklosh:
Hi, I've got also a HTC One and I film often concerts, loud car actions (drift, drag), or air shows (real planes and also gas and jet model planes).

Only my biggest hand cam (Pana X900) can reproduce the sound like it, the others get overdriven.

My main problem is, the videos have a low compression (high bitrate, about 15,5 Mbps), which is not surely needed in each case, and eats the memory..

Do you have any idea or experience, how to lower the compression, wihout changing the HD-resolution?

Or which is the currently most useful video converter, my RiverPast Video Cleaner and BoilSoft converter are unable to make an easy batch conversion.

Thanks in advance!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] g2tegg:
Honestly, no. I am mainly a photographer, and had my DSLR at the show. I by chance tried a video on the HTC One when the jet made the closest pass. Unfortunately I didn't have the nice cam out to get some close ups.

If your asking how to lower the compression on the video recording for the HTC One itself, you would need a custom ROM and a developer out there. I've seen such things done on my old Note 2 but none for this phone.

What should i do to fix it?

I rebooted the phone now it is stuck at the Samsung logo help
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iznee:
-Verify your download rom is not corrupt

- if you are rooted try to wipe your phone before flashing.

- reflash rom.

- for mobile data, check your apn settings to make sure it is correct for your carrier

Hopefully this helps.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Anton.Valleyman:
Hi

I've updated my XDA2 to 2.02 thanks to the information supplied by DCS (as always excellent work Mr!), but I've since realised that I would perhaps be better off with a 2.06 with O2 customisations - even if I then wish to remove the less desirable aspects.

Can someone please point out the easiest way of doing this? It's worth noting I have to change the O2 to CDL whenever I update.

Cheers

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] findus:
The best idea would be to combine 2.02 with 2.06, to do this you will need a copy of the extended ROM you used when you upgraded to 2.02. Download 2.06 , put it in a directory and delete the radio.nbf file and any ms.nbf(extended ROM). Copy your extended ROM from the 2.02 upgrade along with the radio.nbf that was there as well.

To combine the 2 roms, you need to make sure you have got any data you want from your phone, then master reset it and and set up your owner details, device name, and most importantly, any bluetooth pairings. Using ActiveSync, do a full backup of your phone in this state. Next you need to reflash your phne by running the 2.06 upgrade (you will need to use dcs's operatorupdate.bat to change the operator code to cdl first). When the flash is complete, hard reset it again and then enter your user details and device name, but not bluetooth this time. Put your phone in the cradle and restore your phone with the backup you made. You will then have the best of both worlds- a decent 2.06 cleartype etc along with BT handsfree profile from 2.02!

I hope this is clear, there are similar (and probably better!) instructions here, but they have been designed for an Australian XDA.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Anton.Valleyman:
Thanks for that findus...

I'm curious though, why is it important to do the bluetooth stuff before applying 2.06? Is there something wrong with simply rerunning the upgrade with the 2.06 files?

Not sure if it's worth the extra hassle (would anyone consider it a "hassle"?) and also am I really missing that much with 2.02 compared to .06?

Cheers

Anthony
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] findus:
The reason for installing bluetooth devices whilst on 2.02t and backing up is because 2.06 does not support handsfree profile, only headset so it is up to you which one you need, I personally found 2.02 better than 2.06 but i like having them combined now, so I suppose it is all down to whether you can be bothered!! 2.02 is fine though, I had it for weeks and it was very stable.

Fin
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Anton.Valleyman:
I decided to take the plunge and updated it as per the instructions above.

One thing though, which applications included in the ext rom are really that necessary? From what I can see some of them aren't and also as I've got rid of a couple I now can't get it to show in landscape mode. When I go to the Screen option it has lost the options for Portrait / Landscape Left / Right.

Any ideas?

CleanRom 1.3

Faux Kernel

Tried a different ROM today instead of CleanRom and didn't care for it. Restored back to CleanRom with TWRP 2.5.0.2. Ran fine until I did a reboot. Stuck on S4 splash screen. I can get into recovery and wipe everything and reflash a fresh copy and it'll boot fine until I do a restart, then stuck again. Tried twice.

I'm assuming I revert back to stock via this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2301259 then reroot and reflash to ROM of choice. Sound like I'm on the right track?

Thank you for your post

I just upgraded to Galaxy S4 from Epic 4G Touch yesterday. I have flashed different ROMs and tried various versions of CWM and TWRP on my old phone for the last two years so I am not exactly a rookie on this subject. So imagine my shock when I found my new Galaxy stuck on the Samsung boot screen after I did a backup on TWRP. At the time I didn't know what was causing the problem. Was it the root, was it TWRP or CWM, was it the ROM? I finally had to use Odin to flash the original stock ROM after hours of trials and errors just to get the phone to work (and in case I want to return it to the store). Until I read the posts in this thread, I had narrowed down the source of the problem to the backup process on CWM. The phone always got stuck after the backup. I thought to myself if this was something I had to live with, I might just return the new phone and switch back to E4GT. Then I found this thread, downloaded and flashed the PhilZ Touch recovery. Did the "Fix Permissions" thing and the phone rebooted OK. I didn't do the backup this time as I have spent way too many hours on it this long weekend. I am going to try it later this week when I have more time just in case things go wrong again. At least this time I know how to reset the phone to the factory ROM. I just want to say thank you to all who have posted your solutions on this forum.
