[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockin.guy22:
Hi guys , After a month of searching the whole internet , I was not able to find the solution to my problem , so this is my last hope.

I was gifted a Nokia Lumia 620 by a friend who used to work for Nokia( Now left and in very bad terms with the company ). The phone works like charm and has not given me any kind of trouble. Till a month back I found that I was not able to update the firmware of my phone. On checking the net , I found that the phone's firmware version was a pre-release one i.e. 1030.5603.1249.003 ( This phone was released with 1030.5603.1250.00x in my country India ). So i tried to manually update by downloading the updated firmware .To my surprise I could not find the firmware for my product code which is 059N7C6 . Instead I downloaded firmware of other product code but of same RM-846 . Tried to flash the phone using NCS but could not. I was not able to bring it to the flash mode. Tried every method out there ( Vol down & power , Vol down & power then vol up ) but could not. Actually even keeping the vol down and power button pressed for like 10 min I dont get the vibration( except when the phone is switched off and when i try it , then the phone just switches on.). But as soon as I release the buttons I get a vibration . Is this the vibration that all the methods talk about?? But even after this I get an error message during the recovery method of flashing. I have also tried the refurbish method by changing the product code. The phone goes to go the flash mode and the flash starts but again an error occurs . In both the cases the error i get is " Message not send " .so my questions are :

1. Is my phone a demo phone ? (i dont think so coz my phone works like charm and performs all the functions )

2. Is there any process to update this pre release firmware ?

3. Have i downloaded the firmware of wrong product code ? (FYI i had downloaded the firmware of product code 059R680 EURO1 GB DEVELOPER DEVICE by using NCS coz i could not find the firmware pertaining to my region )

4. Is there any other method to enable the flash mode on the phone ?

This forum is my last hope. Don't want to ditch this phone cause of no updates . Thanks in advance.
[HTC One X] Netroxen:
I have a few questions since I'm fairly new to the forum...

1) What's the difference between the HTC One X development forum and the One X original development forum? Is it to do with concurrent development updates and stability with the latter being approved as 'Stable' in the sense of the word? Or am I mixed up...?

2) My CID is HTC_001, I have S-ON and HWBOOT 1.39.0000 with the phone rooted. Am I prepped and ready for installing a custom ROM?

3)Regarding the recovery, I presume you use the backup & recovery in the BOOTLOADER to create a recovery file before installing the custom ROM?

I appreciate the help chaps,

:good:
[HTC One X] Stefan0vic:
I believe that the original forum is more for the pure android versions without FOR instance touchwiz. (Not sure if I'm right) if a Rom is stable it will usually be mentioned in the corresponding thread and it will also say what works and what is broken in the Rom.

you seem ready for a custom rom because I have hboot 1.39 as well. As long as it is unlocked and have a custom recovery you can flash away. As for your third question, no, you use the backup and restore option in your custom recovery for instance clockworkmod or twrp. Some advice: always flash the corresponding boot.img from your rom.
[HTC One X] Netroxen:
So by "Pure Android", do you essentially mean ROMS that are more true to form with less customization layered over the top? If so, which one would you recommend and does it matter which one you use from either one of the forums as-long as you meet the pre-requisites?

Now, what do you mean by custom recovery, how do I know if I have it or how do I do it? Sorry, but I'm a bit of a pleb so simpleton english please :cyclops:
[HTC One X] Stefan0vic:
Also if you are fairly new I suggest you flash the viper rom, it has htc sense and all the tweaks a man needs.

Copy zip to phone

Make sure you have the right boot.img to flash in the fastboot folder its in the zip

Full wipe if coming from other Rom

Flash rom

Flash boot.img by using: fastboot flash boot boot.img

Fastboot erase cache

And it should boot up nicely, this if you already unlocked the bootloader and have a custom recovery
[HTC One X] Netroxen:
Ohhhhh, I get it now... So as-well as unlocking the phone to ROOT, you also have to overwrite the stock recovery on the phone with this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1594819 Okokok, so that's the 'Custom' recovery. Roger
[HTC One X] Stefan0vic:
Yes. You seem to get the hang of it. Before flashing a recovery let me try to get ahold of Mr. Hofs, he has a recovery file that supports touch which you need for some Rom installations. Ill get back at you.

Btw if you are already on a custom recovery by now, immediatly make a nandroid backup and also copy it to your pc. If anything happens and you do not have a nandroid backup things could get way harder than they should
[HTC One X] Netroxen:
That one I linked is touch isn't it? Atleast, the title says "9/6 Mandatory Update Official Clockworkmod Touch Recovery 5.8.4.0" which would lead me to believe so....
[HTC One X] Stefan0vic:
Yes but I believe people have reported that touch didn't work. The one with touch you can flash over cwm later and you'll lose no data at all. I'm on my htc atm so its hard to find links for you. The recovery I'm using is philz touch recovery which is also cwm based

I contacted Mr hofs for you for the link if you can't come across it on the forums :) good luck its bed time for me now :D

Edit: I remember now, htc brought out some kind of update which made touch unusable in cwm. I highly recommend philz touch recovery
[HTC One X] Netroxen:
This one? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2240646
[HTC One X] Stefan0vic:
Looks fine to me! Flash away and have fun
[HTC One X] Netroxen:
Oh noes... You said to type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and now my phone keeps booting into recovery. 'Boot' should be 'Recovery' after some research! What do I do now!!??

Edit: Oh ****. I just flashed my 'boot' with the recovery .img - What should I do now?
[HTC One X] Stefan0vic:
Can you describe exactly what you did? Did you install the boot.img in cwm?

---------- Post added at 12:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 AM ----------

If your phone can only reboot into recovery the only thing that is left to do is install a custom rom. You can also go back to stock if you manage to get the correct RUU OR if you find your stock boot.img which you just replaced. What I would do is flash a sense based rom, flash the boot image, fastboot erase cache and let it boot up, if it boots make a nandroid backup immediatly. as I am no expert choosing the right RUU I cannot help you get back to stock.. I haven't quiet gotten to the RUU part myself.

To flash a recovery : fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img

Flash a kernel/boot.img: fastboot flash boot bootname.img

Fastboot erase cache

Ofc change recoveryname to the name ur recovery has or change the name to recovery.img makes it easier

I updated my Nexus 4 to Android 4.3, completely stock.

So can I install CWM which I already I used on 4.2.2 by installing it the same way? Or have things changed now?

I hope you guys will be enthousiast to respond while the madness on Tomorrowland is going on, thanks in advance & greetz from Belgium!

Hey guys I'm giving my dad my nook tablet 16 gig since I haven't used it in over a year. I was wondering for a guy with no teck skills which rom would work best for him. He might play a game or two, surf the web, check email, but nothing else. Which one can do these things with the lease amount of issues? Thanks!

I'm sure any of the nightly or stable CM10.1 works just fine, but personally I always go back to Succulent's CM10 Final 1231 build.http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/03/cm10-0-jelly-bean-for-nook-tablet-uploading/

It is strictly a matter of opinion though, and you really can't get a "right" answer to that question.

i just wanted to let everyone know that there is a rom out their that is unbranded and has everything from the title (internet sharing might lock up again if you are using att or an att mvno, i got it working again by doing the keyboard trick...Spanish and German.) wht i did was downgrade to roogers pre portico, then update to portico, and the download the rm-820 global black swap rom from navifirm. it all worked out pretty good. on the roms you have to remove the checksum from the file names (there is a post on these fourms describing what to do).

anyways good luck.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-BoneFL:
I am no stranger to rooting and installing custom ROMs on phones. But I am a new KFHD 7" tablet owner. Bought it for $129 on sale at Staples and now I'd like to customize it (for the price, it can't be beat). So, I'd like some opinions/feedback because I am not sure if I can achieve what I am after. So... my requirements:

- I'd like to keep the Amazon Instant Videos feature

- I'd like to install Play Store, Google+, Google Hangouts, GMail, Google Voice, Google Maps, Play Music, You Tube, Google Voice Search

Based on my preliminary browsing of the Kindle forums, it seems like I can root, then install some Google apps... but if I do that, will these particular Google apps be fully functional and not FC frequently?

I am trying to strike a balance between Amazon content and the Google Apps I use daily. I've had the Nexus 7 tablet for 9 months (gave it to family member) and while the pure Android experience is okay, I really would like to keep Amazon's streaming video capability on my KFHD.

Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT: I hope that installing a custom ROM is not the only way to get the Google Apps I listed.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmullens:
If you want to go the ROM route, check out Kinology. It has both amazon framework and Google. Also you can install 3rd party launchers without copying them to system.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muiriddin:
To keep Amazon video and get the google apps, you will need a kindle hd based rom that has been rooted and google apps added or you will have to root and do this yourself. Off the top of my head like the previous poster said Kinology I believe has the features you are looking for...

[TouchPad Development] milaq:
sdcard partition vs. emulated sdcard (datamedia)​

Let me start off by listing a few facts/assumptions:

ATM we're running our Android TouchPads with a "sdcard" on a separate partition which is in fact the media partition also used by WebOS.

We have the option to extend the data partition by any size necessary (e.g. with jcsullins update.zips).

Mostly, a tablet is used as an additional multimedia device. Therefore most users tend to have a bunch of apps/games/media stored on their tablets.

Storage space is scarce for some and unconvinient to manage - move apps back and forth to and from the sdcard.

Most of the TouchPad users don't utilise WebOS anymore

So, we could resize WebOS' media partition to a rather small size, say 512MB, extend the cm-data partition to the remaining size and use the datamedia method as common on many modern handsets/tablets.

i.e. "sdcard" and /data storage space is shared and self-managed. The sdcard then resides in an emulated fat partition at /data/media.

For reference just have a look at some devices that use this method. e.g. all nexus devices since galaxy nexus.

Let me know what you think about this.

[TouchPad Development] jsgraphicart:
What would this mean for webOS? Would it take away any kind of performance or anything from that side? I don't use webOS as much as I use to. But any future development that happens on the webOS side, I want to be able to keep up to date with.
[TouchPad Development] shumash:
What effect will this have on a factory wipe? Will the data and the sdcard both be wiped? One of the distinct advantages of the current separate partition is that data is still available after a factory reset; you can just reload everything using Titanium Backup.
[TouchPad Development] TheManii:
If there was a way to include all webos utilities in android itself (like PmA6Updater/etc):

I would prefer if we could completely nuke webos and directly flash everything directly into partitions like a native android device. (yea that's prob not gonna happen any time soon, if ever)

I know I'm not the only one that doesnt use webos beyond the fact that some TP utilities are only usable in webos.

Summary: all the space goes to android, /data/media makes it easier to manage apps since we use MTP anyway.
[TouchPad Development] castrwilliam:
I strongly oppose this form of "emulated storage." Here are my reasons:

It's just as easy to resize an unmounted FAT32 filesystem as it is to resize an unmounted ext4 one.

As the developer of nsboot I have made it so you can boot multiple versions of Android from one menu. This would undermine that effort, and possible require hackery like bind mounting or symbolic linking (neither of which I can guarantee to work) for the "SD card"'s contents to appear in all Android versions.

With native OSes like Ubuntu, we can now access the SD card as /mnt/sdcard, mostly following the FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard) for desktop Linux. On Ubuntu at least, I distribute symlinks for ~/Downloads (=> sdcard/Download), ~/Pictures (=> sdcarfd/DCIM), ~/Music, and ~/Videos. This would royally mess that up as well.

IMO, there should be a nonremovable SD card/MMC partition/LVM volume (in our case) mounted at /sdcard, just as it was supposed to be on Android, before Google and all the device makers started going on crusades over where to mount SD cards, crippled them slightly with Honeycomb, and then Google committed the truly evil act of omitting five dollar SD card slots on Nexus devices. The on screen softkeys were bad enough...

webOS is mostly dead, but it still is the only OS you have in certain circumstances, and is not recommended to remove. Let's not abuse it.

This would mean MTP was required to access the contents while running Android, and possibly render mounting from recovery undoable. MTP is a steaming pile of garbage. It's incompatible, and it's slow even when it does work.
[TouchPad Development] gradular:
I'm willing to try it.
[TouchPad Development] wtabram:
I never use WebOS and haven't since I installed android.

Now CM 10.1 is (to me) completely stable I can't see myself needing to use it ever again. I don't run multiple OS's so I can't personally see any reason not to give this a go.

At the end of the day it's up to the user to decide if they want to keep multi boot OS support or have a better performing android system.

[TouchPad Development] milaq:
we wouldn't remove the webOS media partition but resize it to a smaller size; you could choose how small it should be - if you don't use it at all 512mb is enough to boot into webOS, do some stuff (flash battery firmware, test hardware functionality, etc).

/data/media is omitted when doing a factory reset (a newly built cwm required). just like a real sdcard(partition).

first, thanks for your thoughts, i fully understand your concerns.

but still, every user could decide on his own whether he would like to utilise multiboot functionality or have the maximum convinience on a single-boot device.

if one doesnt wan't to migrate to the newer layout, there's no pressure to actually do so.

what i was thinking of is to actually mount the sdcard partition additionally as "external_sd" so that a portion of the original partition remains for the purposes you mentioned. one would still have additional space on the sdcard partition and store music, videos, etc on it.

well, as i explained, the datamedia storage method is much more convinient on a device without a dedicated sdcard slot (as tenderloin).

imagine android on the touchpad without them...

as stated above, we wouldn'd ditch webOS completely, we would just shrink its playground to a cozy little size.

it has it advantages and disadvantages. running linux and getting mtp to work is a pain in the butt. still, it allows transfering data back and forth w/o having to worry about unmounting any partition from the currently running os (e.g. android).

remember when your ringtone resetted because you have it stored on the sdcard...
[TouchPad Development] nickster1:
I think the this would be great. I would love to have more space for just Android. I cannot remember the last time I booted into webos. With the option to foot in or out, I don't see the negative here.
[TouchPad Development] Bazirker:
I never use WebOS anymore, so anything that shrinks the impact it has on my device is worth trying.
[TouchPad Development] Razor512:
it is best to not give up webos as it is still needed for some low compressed 720p and 1080p content.

even today, android on the HP touchpad offers nowhere close to the HD video playback performance as present on webos using a player such as the kalemsoft media player.

same applies to flash performance (eg try 1080p youtube videos on android and then try them on webos)

webOS just has better acceleration and until android can beat webOS in all apsects of performance it is best to not give it up.

[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
I think you are inviting trouble messing with WebOS's partition sizes. But as long as this is something one can opt in for or not as you describe, then it's up to each person to decide for themselves if they want to risk their TP in search of the Holy Grail. As one person mentioned, working BT and a 3.xx kernel and all these other little bugs of late squashed would be awesome.

It's a known fact that that either HP or Qualcomm managed to get an Android only version working on the TP. What's not known is how good of a working model it was and if one of these newer versions of Android would even be feasible. And not to mention creating the utilities needed to maintain an Android only TP. That's my vision of the Holy Grail for the TouchPad.

OH, and all of this on a two year old tablet.

[TouchPad Development] milaq:
again: we're not touching any webOS partition besides the one we already using - media.

we're just combining sdcard and data to have a more managable system for those with 16 gig touchpads (i.e. most of us).

if you need webOS with a rather large media partition you can still do so.

also, the media partition will be declared as "external_sd" and still be accessible from within android (via /storage/sdcard1 instead of /storage/sdcard).

the PRIMARY sdcard will reside (together with the usual data) on the /data partition via a fuse mount.

every user can decide how large their partition should be - e.g. shrinking the webOS media partition to 512mb and allocating the gained space to /data in order to dynamically utilise sdcard and data storage.

edit: additionally, the reboot while creating a multiuser account will vanish with this too.

This will give touchpad users one more option but kernel 3.0 will give toduchpad longer future life. Kernel 3.0 may not provide much performance enhancement but is essential for future and has higher priority IMO.It will be more exciting to see some progress/developement on kernel 3.0.
