Yeah, I even said in my message that I made sure that was up to date. I was able to connect to adb and see it show up as a device now but Android Commander doesn't work. I did find out that adb push (and I assume pull) works but that probably worked before and I just didn't try. Anyway, I'm not too concerned. Glad you got yours figured out.
[General Questions and Answers] lukesheardown:
Hope this helps!

I managed to get android commander to work by installing the latest adb with the sdk manager and then I copied adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll to the bin folder located where ever you install android commander!

Copying the adb files to the bin directory worked for me, thanks!

please help what can I do because I can't install custom recovery my phone is already rooted but still can't install help me please
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Provide some info please:

1. Are you on stock now and which one?

2. What custom recovery do you have installed?

3. Did you update the superSU binaries?

4. What happens if you try to flash a custom rom?

-Edit- Sorry missread the post. Did you flash the recovery with Odin and placed the .img file in PDA. Have you closed Kies, also in windows tray manager? Do you have usb debugging enabled on your phone, tried another PC usb port (no hub), correct drivers installed?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jet1962:
yeah I'm on stock rom sorry I'm olny new in android base band I9505 DXUAMDM,version 4.2.2,all custom recovery I tried but it doesn't work it says when I'm installing twrp "no custom recovery found in your divice
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
If it is a .tar file you have to flash the recovery with Odin 3.04 on your PC or with Mobile Odin Pro from your phone. Download the latest twrp 2.6.0.0 tar file and flash with Odin.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jet1962:
.img file in what?I've already tried mobile odin pro in my phone but still the same,I think my last option is to flash the recovery from PC
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
For PC Odin use the. tar version, for Mobile Odin Pro you can also use then.img file. What exactly goes wrong when you tried to flash wirh Mobile Odin?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jet1962:
this is when I'm opening the apps
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
I think you`re not rooted correctly. Have you updated the binaries of the SU app? Open the SU app and it will update probably. Did you install Busybox from Google Play, this is needed also.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jet1962:
so if that's the case what should I do?I've no busybox yet
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
.

Install it from Google Play, its free.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jet1962:
I've already intalled busybox what should I do next?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Retry with Mobile Odin, it should work now. Did you update and open the SU app for a possible binary update also?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jet1962:
yeah open also but it didn't update,my supersu version is 1.45
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Oke, flash the img file with Mobile Odin.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jet1962:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
What exactly happens?

Just download the 2.6.0.0 TWRP .tar file and flash it with Odin 3.04 in PDA while the phone is in bootloader mode.

Not possible and stupid for another user to give you their IMEI .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Specifik1:
Ok as stupid as I'm sure I will sound I tried installing a ROM for the 2nd time onto my Note and I thought I did as I was supposed to but, somehow I ended up with no OS and when I go to reboot it says are you sure you would like to reboot you have no OS installed. I have read a few threads on here but, not enough help has been provided to help me out of my situation. Also I can open my TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) by holding Power button and Volume Down and releasing when Samsung appears but, IDK what I should do?! I do have a 32GB SD card but, nothing is on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 440bro:
If you perform an advanced wipe in twrp and check the "system" box, you erase your OS. You now have to flash a new rom. Make sure it's for your specific device. Check the back of the device behind the battery for your model number. Search the development sections and pick a rom to flash. Download it and transfer it to your memory card. Install it, and all should be fine!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Specifik1:

Ok I see what you mean kinda but, where would I go to download a custom ROM that you're talking about don't you have to be rooted? If so how am I going to be rooted again if I don't have an OS already installed to work with?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
You need to hold power, volume up, and volume down for recovery. Holding power and volume down takes you into download mode.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Specifik1:

Ok I've got it into download mode but, after I have done so do I just download a compatible ROM onto it? If so how?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 440bro:
If you have an SGH-i717 then you can download roms from here and here. Look for threads that say [Rom], read the first few posts to see what's included, and how to install them. Some roms require flashing additional files. Once you chose your rom download all files to sd card and insert into phone. Then boot into twrp recovery by holding volume up+down and install rom as directed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Specifik1:
REPLY3

Ok will my computer read my device as normal when in download mode that way I can put the files on the sd card cause, I don't have an sd card adapter that plugs into my computer to use? I put it into download mode a minute ago without being plugged in and it said something about 2 counts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Let me straighten you out.

Download mode (power and volume down) is for installing stock tar ROMs from places like sammobile.com and samsung-updates.com with Odin. ROMS will have a .tar suffix. Or for installing custom recoveries like CWM or TWRP with Odin. As far as you are concerned that should be all Download mode is used for. It will not allow you to put ROMs on your microSD card to flash with TWRP.

Now if you have ROMs in zip form on your internal or externalSD then you can use your custom recovery (power, volume down, and volume up) if you even have custom recovery installed. I really don't know if you do since you have no idea how to access it and have it confused with Download Mode.

Right now you have 2 options.

1) Download a stock ROM with your pc from 1 of the 2 sites I mentioned and use your PC in conjuction with Odin to flash that ROM to your phone in Download Mode and start all over with rooting and installing custom ROMs.

2) Get an adapter or put that microSD card in another device that you can use to transfer a custom ROM to your microSD card to flash with TWRP.

Do yourself a favor and read some stickies.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Specifik1:

Ok I understand a lot more now I have downloaded the stock rom for my note using the SamMobile site and I also have odin but, how do I flash the rom to my device using download mode?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Install Samsung Kies on your computer to get the USB drivers

Unzip the ROM you downloaded to get to the ROM in .tar form

Put your phone in Download Mode

Run Odin as administrator on your computer

Connect your phone to computer with USB

You should see a blue or yellow box on screen showing it is connected and recognized

Select PDA and navigate to the .tar ROM you downloaded

Do not check or uncheck anything else

Hit Start and follow directions

I suggest you do some more reading before you attempt anything in the future so you are familiar with proper names and techniques.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
slow down. take your time here. don't worry about flashing any or too many extras. follow these basic steps suggested by AGOATTAMER.

run the processes through in you head and again, go slow.

I was very hesitant in doing this the first time. there are tutorals on Youtube also and they can help with the confidence thing.

just get this flash under your belt and do plenty of reading. its only going to help.

and please let us know if you have succeeded. nothing more irritating to those who help, is to not know if problem is solved.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] manthas:
I know the GNex doesn't have the best reputation with its battery, but in the past couple of weeks, my phone's battery has been behaving very very strangely, and the problem is very intermittent.

Basically, I am seeing some odd battery drain issues, but there are a number of reported sources from looking at the battery information on the phone. Some behaviors that I have experienced:

1. Screen using 43% of battery with 22 minutes of screen on time.

2. Screen using battery when off.

3. Battery discharging down to almost 0 within an hour after unplugging it from being charged to full - no single app / resource reporting huge usage numbers, just a complete drop on the battery chart.

Other things I have observed; if I catch the system in a state where the battery is draining faster than it should, if I reboot, the system will often recover to normal usage.

I am currently using Paranoid Android 3.15 (I know they have updates - but they also broke their own PIE color scheme, apparently intentionally so, so I am sticking with the last known good version). I am using the stock kernel, and have not tried flashing a new one - if anybody has recommendations, I am all ears.

It is also possible that since this is the original stock battery that the battery itself may be going bad, but my observation about the problem tending to go away after a reboot makes me think the issue is not in the battery itself. I guess the ultimate question is, is there anything that can be done here? Or am I stuck with this until I replace the device in 6 months?
[General Topics] Derik Espag:
Im am currently using an Imate 2020 and logon to the South African Server provider Vodacom. I have upgraded succesfully to ROM version 2.06.00WWE, but are experiancing problems with BlueTooth in the following areas:

1) When I connect aBlueTooth Headset (Motorola HS810 or Nokia) the call is succesfully transfered from the phone to the headset, but the Imate speaker and microphone still stay active. How do I fix that?

2) I am using a Compaq / HPO nx7010 notebook with integrated bluetooth cababilities. I managed to establish a succesfull session between the Imate and the phone with a BlueTooth connection and can utilise the Imate's modem to connect to the internet. However, I cannot estabilish an ActiveSync session via the the Imate to the HP Laptop for synchoronisation of mail, calender and Tasks.

3) I would like to utilise GPRS to on the Imate to connect to the Intenet from the HP Laptop. In otherwords I do want to establish a BlueTooth connection between the Laptop and the Imate and utilise the Imate's GPRS session to connect to the internet.

Can anyone assist please.

Thank you

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arimus:
Hi everyone who reads this, So I did my 4.3 update and now I notice the blue triangle Navigation Icon is missing, OK I might be slow here but how do I do Navigation now ? I can go into Google Now and say "Navigate to ......... " and it works, but before the 4.3 update I would turn on the navigation app and show my location on the map as I drove and t would give me traffic info etc, I can I get that back without specifying a location I am going to ? Sometimes I just want to see a map I don't want directions, like going to work, I just want to see traffic flow etc, yes sometimes I use Waze sometimes I use Google Navigation. I hope I am clear here, thanks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teambestyrandy:
They merged it all into one in maps so of you want to navigate turn on GPS and open the Google maps type in destination then on bottom right should say navigate
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arimus:
I thought that they might of merged into maps just not sure how to navigate, thanks for the info I will look into it .
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teambestyrandy:
Its confusing at first but play around with it. Type in destination in the search bar, then bottom right will show a car click on that car it'll pop up a list. Choose the desire fastest time to get to the location click on it then it'll bring you back to maps but now the bottom right should say navigate press on that and it should be on navigation
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicknoxx:
I've just updated to 4.3 and I have a Tasker task that open the Navigation app and despite there beig no navigation app on the phone, it still works.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elpino.rv:
It's indeed possible to still have the navigate shortcut working. I don't know how you should do it manually, but I did a nova launcher restore after upgrading to 4.3 and got the shortcut icon back. Still working fine, can enter a 'from' and 'to' and select the 'car', 'train', 'bike' and 'walk' method.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3rdstring:
I think Navigation was always a part of Maps, not a separate apk, now just no separate icon.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcrandon:
It was weird how they came out with several updates over a couple weeks and how they tweaked the interface. First they let the Nav and Places icons stay. But then on a subsequent update they deleted them.

It's also weird how when you search for a destination you want to Nav to, you never know exactly how Google is going to present the Nav steps to you, huh?

What's really annoying is the decreased functionality of the Local/Places part of Maps. Way harder to get to and way less useful info.

About the only thing I like better in the new version of Nav is more accurate arrival time (but Waze still better), complete list of previous destinations, and switchable arrival time, minutes left and miles left.

But, you can't get to Local without quitting Nav, and Nav no longer clearly displays the name of the street you are traveling on. It always used to be listed at the bottom of the screen.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrustyMcLovin:
Sorry to resurrect this dead thread but I just had the same issue with the latest (11/5) maps update and I too lost the navigation icon. Here is how I got it back:

Note that I am using Nova launcher but might be the same on yours:

1. Find empty location on the home screen and press for a second or so until "Add to Home screen" appears

2. Select "Shortcuts"

3. Select "Activities"

4. Scroll down until you find "Maps", click once to expand the list.

5. Select "Navigation"

And that should be it.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] john3voltas:
I watched the video but I've read too many XDA threads and I am still confused.

Also I am sorry for being a noob and asking noob questions...

At work I was "given" a Sony Xperia Miro ST23i running 11.0.A.5.5.

Unfortunately this phone is branded and comes with a lot of bloat that can't be easily uninstalled. Sometimes it is very annoying to be waiting 10 seconds for the "contacts" to appear with all the bloat running in the background.

I've found Gimlo 2.0 here at XDA. Looks like it is the stock firmware without the bloat and with "a couple" of extra features.

But since the phone isn't mine and since electronic devices sometimes have failures and need repair,

I need to take precautions and make sure that I can put it back as it was (stock FW) when we bought it. That is, if the malfunction even allows me to boot the phone.

;)

Doesn't seem difficult to follow Gimlo's installation instructions here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37337385&postcount=2.

I noticed that it tells the user to backup. What would I be backing up at this point? Apps and their settings? Contacts? Or does it mean to backup the original/official ROM?

Apps and settings and contacts is easy. I wouldn't mind loosing my SMS messages and Call log although there seems to be apps to backup SMS/Logs. But how do I backup the original ROM?

Then I have to boot into CWM. Well I still haven't installed that because some fellow told me that installing CWM is the first step to loose my warranty. He told me that there is a special "counter" on the phone that increments every time I flash the phone. He told me to ask here if this phone has this counter and how to reset it, if it's even possible to reset it.

Then I happened to stumble into this tool named Backup-TA here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2292598. It says it backs up something that I will need to restore in case I need to return my phone for repair.

Am I missing anything?

Can someone point me a step-by-step of all the stuff I need to backup in order to install Gimlo?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] zzztidurvirus:
Before you begin doing anything, you should use pc companion - repair to get the correct firmware that matches your region. Sure, you can use .ftf found here but you said yourself need to backup. Im sure theres also company bootanim / wallpapers / ringtones but you can backup that also. Counters? No, sony do not have counters, samsung do have it.

The order is like this:

Backup all that media (hidden somewhere in /system) yeah, with no root, you can still look around and find stuff. Then, use pc companion - repair. Next, find blob_fs and convert it into .ftf for later use. Then, root, cwm, and go for gimlo.

Anytime you want to go back to stock, use your own .ftf. Dont worry, just dont unlock bootloader. And, pc companion is the official way to repair before sending the phone to sony service.

Actually bro...there is no need to back-up the Rom....if something goes wrong you can repair your phone via pc companion since you have a locked bootloader.

After all it seems fairly simple even for a such a big noob like me.

I mean, seems that it is not mandatory in case I just want to flash another ROM.

But reading this topic http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2292598 seems that like something mandatory in case I really need to

put it back exactly

Okay, now I only need to know when does backup TA goes in all these instructions.

So, I will need to backup my contacts. I won't backup call log or SMS because I don't need them.

Then I have to root the phone, install CWM, and then follow the procedure to install my new ROM (Gimlo).

My question is "when do I backup TA?". After rooting the phone and before installing CWM? Or after rooting

and

after installing CWM?

Also I don't really understand any of this

Company bootanim? Wallpapers and ringtones? Do I need to backup those?

Backup media in /system ? What media? Videos and music that I recorded on the phone? It's all in my SDCard.

blob_fs and convert into ftf?

Do I really need all this? Because if I do need to backup all this so that I can restore it on the phone if I need to send it for repair, then I will forget about installing another ROM.

Can someone please clarify?

Thanks and sorry for being such a PITA :)
