I will further state that I do not use gapps, and the md5sum matches correctly.

Is there a log I can look through via TWRP's terminal? A sort of /var/log for android? I couldn't find anything of value.

Here's some output form TWRP's recovery log:

I've had both 4EXT and TWRP reformat all the partitions many, many times. The only thing I have not tried is reflashing the older rom that I was on (I have very slow internet so I haven't downloaded it yet). But I would really think that it would work the same since it's more or less just a few updated bugs from the latest.

I don't quite know what to do - I don't want to hurt the emmc parts and I have no idea what the purpose of the first few partitions are for - And whether or not they are even the cause of my woes. I wish I could quickly get a logcat/dmesg of what the hell's going on when I boot but I'd have to enable ADB and authenticate with this computer first, something that is most definitely not doable in the small window of time before freezing.

I'm at a loss, and rather worried about the consequences of attempting recovery methods in the rather traditional manner of a desktop.
[HTC Sensation] drspinderwalf:
Okay, I've finally fixed this device. I found an RUU, extracted the rom.zip from the .exe (seeing as I don't use Windows), renamed it to whatever name it needs to autoinstall via the bootloader (PG58.zip?), then had a working phone again. I proceeded to re-unlock the bootloader and install the latest CM10.1, and it all works now.

Strangely enough, the default partition layout does include these overlapping sectors. How bizarre.

can anyone tell me what would i need to post my own work, do i need to ask a premission to arco if i use arco's cm10 as the base rom for example, or i just embed "credit to" on my post. or anything else, thanks before
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] thearif:
I believe if it is a "based on" rom just giving credit should be fine.

Yap, since is everything open source you can use what you want. Just be sure to give the credits to the people's stuff you used, who you helped (if that is the case). In the end is all about to give the credits to who deserved =)

[HTC One X] TheSpeedo666:
Hello

I found a used HTC One X that I wanted to buy , I decided to test it before I buy it, so it's been with me for the past few hours.

What worries me is that when I went to 'About Phone' to check the version, I saw something that worried me.

In Settings > About > Software Information > More, Kernel Version states the following "3.1.10-ga4f2a44 root@abm030 # 1 SMP PREEMPT", it's the "root" in the name that worries me, has this phone been messed with or not?? :confused:

Also, when I take screenshots by holding the Power button and Volume Down button together, my laptop says the .png files are empty, the two 'Software Information' screenshots below were taken by pressing Home button while holding Power button, while the BootLoader pic was taken with my Sensation XE.

Also (again), is there a way of checking the history of Root, S-OFF/S-ON or ROM flashing of a phone??

The reason I'm worried is because the first Android phone I bought was a used one, and the previous user had rooted it and unrooted/de-rooted improperly. So after no matter how many Hard Resets and Soft Resets, I was never able to root it again :crying:
[HTC One X] Danw20:
Nope. It has not been messed with, they all say root :)

If it has been messed with it would say RELOCKED or UNLOCKED in the bootloader
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Its locked ! So that means original. Not tampered with ......

The kernel is original.
[HTC One X] TheSpeedo666:
ScreenShots?

What about the ScreenShots?? Why does the computer state that the file is empty??
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
That's a MTP problem. JB has no usb mass storage anymore but only media transfer protocol. Its crap.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan Law 001:
Hello, this is really weird. In fact, when I insert the SIM to my Note 2 N7100 and turn it on, it allows me to make emergency call, but I cannot use it to make any others and it doesn't show the carrier name (it shows Emergency call only). And when I try to use it to make normal phone calls, it says that I am not registered to a mobile network. I try to factory reset my phone, but the problem remains. I then try to remove the SIM card, and it says that I need to insert a SIM card (that means that it is not a hardware problem since it recognizes the card). I then try to go to the mobile network setting to try to connect to the network manually, it connects me but it shows me a warning which says that the mobile network service is not available (and the Emergency call only label remains). However, I am sure that this is not the problem of the card neither since when I insert the card to my Moto MB860, I can make calls as usual. So, what is the problem ??? It seems to me that the problem happens spontaneously since it works perfectly until yesterday. And all other wireless function works fine including wifi , Bluetooth and GPS and the only thing goes wrong is 3g and 2g.

Additional information:

ROM: Omega v.16

Carrier: Fido Canada (as you can see)

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jabrif:
First of all, check whether you can see the IMEI of the device. If you can see.

1. Contact your network operator and check whether your IMEI is blacklisted or not.

If you cannot see the IMEI

1.Restore the efs and persist backups (if you have one)

2. flash the device again with the modem image (download the firmware of your device from samfirmwares.com, delete everything from the .tar file except modem.bin, and then flash this file to the phone with Odin (you can get Odin and instructions from that site or from here)

2. maybe your nv_data.bin file or /efs directory got corrupted, make a backup of the folder, then simply delete nv_data.bin, it will be recreated for you.

For this, you’ll need root. If you have a root-enabled kernel, you only have to install the Superuser app and Busybox on the phone, download the Android SDK to your PC, install platform-tools in the SDK manager, go to the platform-tools directory and start adb shell.

In the shell, type su, wait for the Superuser prompt to appear on the phone (if it does not appear, open the Superuser app and try executing su again), enable root access for the command. Now go to /efs, copy everything to for example /sdcard/efs, then rm nv_data.bin.

Reflashing the device with a kernel and checking “phone EFS clear” in Odin also works (make sure you made a backup of the EFS folder just in case).

3. you can try changing the CSC: enter *#272*imei# on the phone tab.

Try this . I'm not sure it works. Just give it a try on yourself.

Trying the above mentioned methods could be vulnerable to your phone if it not done properly. So do it carefully. If you have any doubts feel free to ask me or search elsewhere. But, don't blame me for a fully dead phone. I am not at all responsible for any...

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan Law 001:
Mmm... I heard that you mentioned clearing the EFS in your given procedure, but I do not think that I modified that folder... However, about few days ago, since I want to gain better control on the volume on my headphone remotes, I did modify the file called Generic.kl in system/usr/keylayout, but I restore it after since it didn't work. However, I don't think that this modification will trigger something in the efs folder since it has different directory. By the way, I did some research online and they say that the efs contains information about the carrier on the phone, so will there's a greater chance that the problem is caused by the possible modification on the efs than any other factor and will there also something else that possibly trigger the similar effects?:confused:

I have just installed latest CM10.1 and Jarvis kernel V2 with the new overclocking method. Whenever I try to uninstall a system app either through root uninstaller or by deleting the .apk file I can't. I suppose that it has something to do with the permissions of the /system/app folder. I tried gaining full access to this folder but I still can't uninstall any system app.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Sufyan.Chhipa95:
Don't mount system as R/w after OC, if u want to mount system as R/w to delete any app or to change permissions in system, so restore your OC frequency to 600 MHz..
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] ripcloing:
I restored cpu frequency to 600MHz, enabled root access in file manager, tapped the lock icon at the top left corner to change / from RO to RW an was finally able to delete any unwanted system .apks. However when I try to uninstall a system app through root uninstaller it still says uninstall unsuccessfull although the app is gone from the drawer. Is this the correct method or I did something wrong?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Sufyan.Chhipa95:
Reinstall Root Explorer..
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] goateegauti:
Even root uninstallers need r-w access. U can't uninstall an app until you decrease the max frequency to 600mhz.

I did all of what you guys mentioned above. Now I can uninstall system apps through root uninstaller. It still says uninstall unsuccessfull but the app is uninstalled. Weird but who cares since the app is really gone? :p

Hello, my name is Josh and I just rooted my HTC Evo V 4g, I’m kindof new to the rooting world and any help would be appreciated. The problem that I have is that when I try to flash a custom ROM it always says: Failed, Skipping MD5 check: no Md5 file found. assert failed: getprop(“ro.bootloader” ) == “1.04.200″ E:Error executing updater binary in zip ‘/sdcard/shoot Error flashing zip. I’m pretty sure that I installed everything correctly but it just won’t flash, I am running the Team Win Recovery Project v2.5.0.0, HBOOT-1.58.0000 S-ON Unlocked, I tried to flash JellyBAM v. 7.6.2 and P.A.C man JB. v23.0.0. I Also tried making sure that the checksum was the same and it is exactly the same. Some one please help me! :(
[HTC EVO 3D] abedev:
Ok guys, I made a little bit more research and I read that you can't install jelly bean ROMs on hboot 1.58.0000 is this correct? The ROMs that I wanted to install are infact jelly bean ROMs. So I have to S-off my evo and downgrade it to hboot 1.50 is this right? I need a little confirmation and I would appreciate if anybody wants to help me out. Thanks :)
[HTC EVO 3D] The Fer-Shiz-Nizzle:
Yes, JB ROMS require Hboot 1.50 or lower, so you will need to get S-off and downgrade your Hboot.

use bl-tool to relock and set supervision

that's it.

[HTC Wildfire S] Mojang:
Why don't you just find a flashable zip?

He wants to return to stock. Meaning he wants a proper ruu. A flashable zip isn't technically considered stock.

So the other stuff I added into the original post were useless?
[HTC Wildfire S] thehacka1:
The HBOOT was useful. The MICROP wasn't that much.
[HTC Wildfire S] Mojang:
Haven't you heard of Kitchen? Crossfire has probably used kitchen to make the stock roms in this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2143410 Flashing the non rooted one is just a back up of a fresh European Rom turned in to a zip and the process of flashing the zip is way more efficient and easier than re-locking the bootloader and then flashing ruu which may take 10mins+.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarface1991:
There are kernels (like the Googy-Max Kernel) which can increase the standard value of 1000 mA up to 1500mA but this can reduce the lifetime of the battery or cause other unforeseeable damage to your phone. Also increasing the charging current could be useless because if you use the standard Samsung charger it's likely that it charges with a max of 1000 mA ( look at the output on your wall charger).

The only thing useful for me is to increase the USB charging current from 475 mA (which is the standard value) to 900 mA. This increases the charging speed when charging through USB noticeably.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
You can use the FXZ method. This will reflash everything stock - it's really a tool used by the repair facilities to recover devices. It will wipe everything.

Otherwise, I spose you can try and force the OTA thru the GUI, and see if it works... Not sure if it will or not. Might, of course you'd need to be connected to wifi at least ;)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraemder:
I was happy that I rooted the phone and got Japanese fonts working.. but I wanted the ability to adjust the gain/volume of my mic headset and tried to install a rom to do that. I used the Nexus Root Toolkit to root the phone and do an entire backup. Then I flashed the rom. It didn't take and I really had no idea why (being noob). So I go on youtube and see what i can find for flashing a rom. I see that you have to delete your old OS in order to install the new one.. ok.. risky but I did a full backup right? Well when I tried using Nexus Root Toolkit to install said rom the phone ended up with a screen with a menu with some options including to delete the OS. So I did that. Then I tried to install the zip file which was now on the phone thanks to Nexus Root Toolkit.. but it still didn't take. Okay. I gave up. I rebooted.

But I have no OS. And my Win7 machine can't see the phone. I tried deleting and installing drivers again and it doesn't work. I can boot to the fastboot screen (the one with the Start at the top and cycle through options like recovery mode). But the computer can't see the phone. Nexus Root Toolkit seems to be of the opinion that I need to enable USB tether debugging mode on the phone.. but there's OS to do that.

Is it hopeless?

btw I think this phone is great. I would prefer maybe a slightly smaller phone but i can't believe how cheap it is, beautiful screen, fast, responsive. Amazing.
