[HTC Amaze 4G] ByronFer:
Thanks 4 your answer... Nope.. im pretty sure its not a hardware issue... I think I may have forgot to do something... maybe you know a way to fully restore to stock??? thanks...
[HTC Amaze 4G] HORiZUN:
You'll need the stock RUU zip on the root of your sd card and flash through the bootloader. There are tutorials for doing this here at xda
[HTC Amaze 4G] ByronFer:
I dont know if maybe you could help me with the official RUU download link, cause I´ve tried many different downloads and had the same result... Thanks...
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Lol you've downloaded a damn old ruu download the r2 ruu and flash it'll work then hopefully
[HTC Amaze 4G] ByronFer:
Ok so i just flashed thru bootloader version: 2.14.531.30 710RD And im still having the same issue with my front camera.. Dont really know what the problem is.. Ive tried everything but im gettin the same results... is there a way to flash just the camera?? maybe thats the problem.. Thanks!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
If your camera is still not working after flashing an RUU then I'm 99% sure it's probably a hardware issue
[HTC Amaze 4G] HORiZUN:
That's what I was thinking..
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
+1 sadly
[HTC Amaze 4G] ByronFer:
That sucks.. I bought this phone 2 weeks ago on ebay... and everything was working great.. problems appeared after rooting and flashing some Sense 4 Roms... So if it really is a hardware issue how much do you think will cost a front camera repair or whatever is damaged?? lol..
[HTC Amaze 4G] HORiZUN:
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=270984216096 $12.99, patience, steady hands and a teardown video
[HTC Amaze 4G] ByronFer:
Ok thank you very much.. even though im 99% sure its not a hardware issue, ill keep messing around with it and see if I get some different results.. onece again thanks 4 your time... :good:
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Well flashing the ruu returns your phone to stock like its straight out of the box.. so im not sure how it could be software related.. just sayin
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
If you still have doubts try the Asian ruu and see it'll be purely stock with the same brand
[HTC Amaze 4G] ByronFer:
Oh and something important I forgot to say.. I bought the phone on ebay to Hong Kong.. it came unlocked.. and on the phone it says T-Mobile but i am not really sure if it is an unbranded phone... How can I know if my phone is unbranded or not... Maybe the stock RUU isnt from T-Moble...

Can I try flashing different region ruu´s?? thanks...
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
It came unlocked?? Means it's a 2nd hand phone which means the previous owner mite have screwed the front camera and fixed it?? Remove the back door and checked the screw holes if the warranty void sticker is removed, well you have your answer then :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gk1984:
Whenever I receive a call, I can't hear the other person and they can't hear me. When I dial out, everything works fine.

A week or so ago, I tried experimenting with the cause and seemed to fix the problem when I uninstalled google voice. I tried using Voice again and sure enough have the problem again.

I only use Voice for voice mail and would really like to keep it... Is anyone else experiencing this?

Rooted stock rom, no google voice integration.
[HTC Droid DNA] M0rtiferrimus:
I'm trying to use moonshine to root my dna. It's on firmware 2.06.605.1 710RD, completely stock and unrooted. USB debugging is on, it's connected to the computer, and fastboot is unchecked. I'm on Windows 7 64 bit, and I followed the instructions to the letter:

Settings on phone (fastboot, usb debugging, no lock) set exactly to how the instructions described.

I downloaded the correct file on the moonshine download page.

I unzipped the file and kept all the moonshine files in the same directory.

I allowed distiller in my firewall.

I had an internet connection.

I triple checked that I did not have HTC Sync Manager installed (it wasn't).

I ran distiller as administrator.

The process runs fine until the second time it puts the phone into bootloader mode:

(see attached picture)

Distiller prints dots, one every second, starting a new line every minute, I assume (note: these dots will print as long as the program runs. I let it print about half a line to show where the program freezes). My phone remains on the bootloader screen. I can quit distiller and reboot without bricking the phone or anything, but it always freezes at this point. At first I thought it was an issue with the usb 3.0 port, so I switched to the 2.0 port on the same computer, but I got the same output. I have the android sdk installed, and the initial adb and fastboot checks run fine. I can't figure out why this won't work. Should I just try this from a linux live cd?

Also, when I connect my phone, not only is the phone mounted, but also two drives called "CDROM" and "HTC Sync Manager". There is no way that I know of to keep these from automatically mounting. I can eject them, but as soon as the phone reboots they are mounted again. I have never installed HTC Sync Manager on this computer, so it's on the phone. I don't think that's what's causing the problem, though, because the first part of distiller runs fine with both CDROM and HTC Sync Manager mounted.
[HTC Droid DNA] mikeyinid:
I had the same issue. I used revone and it worked first try. Might go that route instead.
[HTC Droid DNA] rejectedjs:
I'm not sure if this will work for you, but I got errors on moonshine until I factory restored my phone, powered it off, plugged it into the computer and then powered it on and then ran moonshine, after that it worked perfectly.
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
Sounds like PC issue. Anyways, linux liveCD is worth a shot. We have support on IRC #moonshiners on freenode.
[HTC Droid DNA] M0rtiferrimus:
Revone's just s-off, though, right? I'd like to get root too, if I can.

So, I tried the linux route. I got past the place where I was stuck last time, but after "moonshining" for a half second I get an error: "WTF: What are you doing?" I saw I had accidentally been using a USB 3.0 port, so I tried it on a 2.0 port, but I got the same error in the same place. The second time, the phone stayed on the droid splashscreen for a few minutes, then rebooted missing every single widget and app shortcut.

I had already backed up everything I needed, so I did a factory reset and tried again on Windows. Same error in the same place. How can I get past the WTF error?

Edit: On Windows, it's the same error with the dots, not the WTF error. I only get that on Ubuntu.
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
Weird. support is via irc. #moonshiners on freenode

Hopping into IRC to see if I can get a hand figuring it out, I will post here when I get it working.

Add me to that list as well.. I've been rooting devices for a long time and this is the first time I have ever had a problem I haven't been able to figure out. I'm officially stumped

[HTC Droid DNA] jawschwah:

After troubleshooting some, all we had to do was turn off windows firewall and antivirus. After that, no hangups! GL guys.
[HTC Droid DNA] elitejester:
WTF Error

I also get the "WTF: What are you doing" error while moonshing.

Running Windows, tried two cables, attempted 4 times. Correct firmware, no htc sync installed.

Has anybody found anyway to get around the WTF error?
[HTC Droid DNA] ghettocowboy22:
Ive been stuck with this same problem for a few days now. Did you ever get it worked out?
[HTC Droid DNA] RLGL:
Try turning off AV and firewall. There are many threads troubleshooting the Moonshine errors.You can find them with the search feature in the forums.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] clapper66:
I have had my galaxy s4 for about a week and a half now and love this phone. I still have 7 GB of space left, but tutorials online that show apps could be moves to the SD card. I have a Verizon Gs4 and when i go to application manager i do not see the option to move apps to the SD for all of my apps. I even tried installing a app that the tutorial shows was installed on the SD card and i could not move it. Has Verizon not launched the update for the S4 to install Apps to the SD card? It would be nice to move some apps to the SD card. :p

I recently purchased a kindle fire hd 7 version 7.3.1 which i am looking to install cm10.1 on. i have read through many threads and have download all the needed files to undertake this project. the only problem that i have encountered which proves to be very troublesome is loading my kindle into fastboot mode. can any one help me with this problem? thank you.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Why are u trying to get into fast boot mode? You should only need adb to back it up then use fire flash to put 2nd bootloader and twrp on it, then transfer over the cm 10.1 images for flashing from twrp. That's it in a nutshell. Fast boot it only for if you brick it in the process, which in most cases you will need a factory cable to get it into fast boot mode.

To be more specific about this read seokhuns awesome guide, but follow it to the tee or u may get a red screen on your bootloader to which you will need a factory cable to fix.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
After u have the zip file on your sdcard I suggest using es file explorer to check the files properties and calculate its md5sum and compare it to the md5sum on the download link. If they match up then it should be working, if not it just didn't probably transfer or DL right.

U will probably need to flash a modded stock image of kindle os if you didn't back up your os first, so your kindle has an os to boot into. By modded stock image I mean that on the kindle android development forums there are a few modded stocks that come rooted without reflashing the stock boot loader and recovery plus have ota disabled. Makes things easier so you don't need to reflash the boot loader and twrp and reroot.

i just bought my wife this phone. already backed up nv. it keeps prompting for a system update. does this phone have firmware like my lte evo?? do i need to upgrade the firmware on it before flashing a custom rom? kinda lost first samsung. i followed the backup threads already have the imei and nv backed up. so whats next? just root and flash. should i take the upgrade? then root.ITS ANDROID 4.1.2 BUILD jzo54k.l710vpbmb1
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
if the phone prompts for an OTA update, it will logically be a newer version of Android.

If you want to root it anyway and install a custom ROM, I do not really see any reason in upgrading beforehand (I guess your S3 is running a Android version 4.1.2 already?). Hence go ahead, follow the rooting & flashing guides in the FAQ thread.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaos420:
I ask because on my evo it could include firmware such as boot loader or radios. Logically it's smart to ask before assuming. After all what happens when we assume. But thanks. I finished backing up and rooting last night about 20 minutes after I posted

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
the 4.1.2 update does include a new bootloader, but you're already running 4.1.2
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Some US versions of the S3 have separated their OTA updates into 2 types (one of which is "firmware"). I assume this is the same as you experienced on the Evo.

It is only some US carriers I have ever seen do this however. International versions don't separate them into 2 types. OTA update could be anything. At the most it is ROM, Kernel, Recovery, Radio and Bootloader that is updated.

The use of the word "firmware" annoys me to be honest. Firmware is more low level than the OS. It is embedded, which almost makes sense when you look at how the US carriers separate it out. Android to me is not "Firmware" but unfortunately, on the international forums here and from Samsung themselves, you will see them referring to Android as "Firmware", so if reading the GT-i9300 forum and you see someone say firmware, 9 times out of 10 they're referring to an Android update or ROM that may or May not include a bootloader etc..

I hope this clarifies a little

App backup isn't really the problem [Though I do hate using apps like Titanium backup, simply cause if I download from them and not from the Play Store, I don't get auto updates], what concerns me more is home screens, which is tiring to do everytime

I really hate using Launchers, especially those 2 which take away the Sense look ... isn't there another way?

Use titamium to backup the htc sense app data. Should work if you remain on same sense ver.

View attachment 2055370

Restore it after you have installed all your apps of course. I just tested on my rom. Backed up, deleted stuff from home screens then restored data only in titanium and home screens were back.

Be aware its best to start from scratch though as restoring across different roms may cause probs. You can always clear sense app data though if it goes wrong

Titanium backup helps not only with sense -> sense rom.

You can save your wi-fi access points, wallpaper, contacts storage, people and complete programs when migrating to other rom.

Contacts and list of programs are stored in your gmail account, so theres only ringtones missing.

[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
No worries. The 4.2 bootloader works fine with the 4.1 rom.

You should do a clean install though. Wipe everything, don't restore apps from a backup, install them from Play Store, do not restore system apps either, just app data and such.

If you flash the 4.1 stock rom, you will loose TWRP and root though. Why not go back to the last CROMi build?

When I reboot the phone it still has the "Custom" and lock icon. I thought that doing a factory reset removed root. I cannot access titanium backup or SuperSU. Ideas?

Secondly and most importantly, I cannot boot into recovery. I use the power and volume up button and see it say "booting recovery" but then it automatically reboots and loads TW. I cannot use the method above because I do not have a PC to run odin. Any help would be much appreciated. ;)
