[Xperia Z Android Development] Haldi4803:
just flashed the stock .244 yesterday.

I had a dual recovery before (somewhen...).... but i guess thats gone now ? (even flashed a few doom kernels between)

If i just flash this in CWM will it work ? Or is it essential to install Dual recovery before ?

P.S could you please consider using a different hoster for your .torrent files ? i use my NAS as external download station. Instead of just using the link Copy&Paste i had to wait 10sec, download the .torrent file and configure the download manually.

Or just a direct link to the .torrent file wihout waiting time, that would be awesome.

Flashed this successfully following instructions on the OP on my C6602.

One thing I noticed though, after flashing the zip, I went back to Menu in TWRP then tapped on Reboot. A prompt came up saying Root permissions are lost and a swipe to fix was shown. I did not attempt to fix and proceeded to next instruction and flashed through Flashboot.

Thanks for this update and guide [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] Amazing piece of work.

[Xperia Z Android Development] [NUT]:
If you look at /tmp in a file manager app there should be 2 files there: killedric and remountedrootfs . If they are not there then the RIC service is probably active... can you check that for me?

Nope, the backup is in case something fails... but you should not lose anything if it all works as planned.

To migrate from a custom rom to stock is asking for problems sir... sorry but if you really want to use this ROM, make sure you have app backups and do a factory reset.

You will be faster off when not using this package but rooting it with the workaround by DooMLoRD and installing the current XZDualRecovery....

For you and people like you i will add a direct link to the file on the download screen.

TWRP expects a certain permission on the su executable... which is basically the same as with my packages. Even DooMLoRD sets the same... i was going to report a bug on that to Team Win about that soon... it's annoying. Root works fine either way.

Shutting down is more the trigger...

You're welcome, here to please ;)

Hi All,

I'm a noob here so please be gentle!

I have bought a brand new Galaxy S4 (I9505 Baseband is I9505XXUBMEA)

I am looking to install the Google Play Edition ROM on my phone but so far have failed to root the device.

I am using a Macbook Air, so I am looking for methods using OSX. I have tried using motochopper but this failed, possibly because I have an updated firmware on the phone.

Any help, advice or links would be greatly appreciated (mostly as I can't stand touchwiz!)

I want to root, install CWM Recovery, and flash Google Play Edition. Sound deceptively simple!

Thanks

When I am using wireless charging, my S4 is REALLY HOT. The whole phone heats up. Is that normal?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] faiyo:
It's expected.. im not sure if its okay though. The wireless charger puts out 1000ma but the receiver only outputs 640ma. So ~40% of the power is heat. This is in addition to the heat of regular charging. I recommend mitigating it by only using wireless power at night. And while it's on the pad do not use your phone or run processes (music, app updates). Basically avoid adding cpu load. Also move your family 300 miles north haha

I put it on the charger before sleep and it's still burning hot when I wake up the next day.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stator:
For the first time I did an OTA while rooted. I upgraded to 4.3 and now I've lost the following:

SuperSU dowsn't work

Busybox does't work

Can't run bootloader or recovery

My system still shows as a rooted system upon boot. When I connect to my pc and run wugfresh's toolkit, it fails to find adb. I have verified that the driver is installed correctly and debugging mode is on. I can't unlock, root or even return to stock. I do remember seing a thread about a similar issue quite some time ago but I have been unable to find ut. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Btw, it has just a plain root, no custom roms installed.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Hi, stator...

Your post isn't quite clear... does the device boot normally? If so, you should have no problems booting into the bootloader.

But first download the latest

UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip

to your Nexus 7.

Shutdown the Nexus as normal. Then press and hold the VOL down button... whilst continuing to hold, press the POWER ON button.

This should boot you into the bootloader (in fastboot mode).

From there, and from your PC, Fastboot flash a custom recovery... (Chainfire recommends TWRP)... with the line...

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Where recovery.img is the name of your custom recovery. I usually just rename it to 'recovery.img' (without quotes) anyway - makes for less typing at the command prompt:).

Ensure you get the correct recovery for your device....

TWRP for Nexus 7 Wi-Fi ('Grouper')

or

TWRP for Nexus 7 3G ('Tilapia')

Although a new version of TWRP is now available (2.6), I had some weird issues with this... particularly when copying Nandroid backups off of my Nexus 7 to my PC. Random 'permission denied' messages would crop up running an ADB PULL command... copying via MTP didn't fair much better either. TWRP 2.5 works without problems though, and it's the version I would recommend.

Anyway... back on topic...

Upon completion of flashing TWRP, boot into that recovery (whilst still in the bootloader)... and select INSTALL... navigate to the folder where you downloaded Chainfires SU root updater (usually, the 'download' folder)... and SWIPE to confirm.

Reboot as normal... you should now be rooted. This can be confirmed by any one of the numerous Root Checker apps available in Playstore.

I haven't experimented with busybox... if you mean

this

version, I haven't installed it, and nor am I going to... at least not for a while.

My Nexus 7 is still in the process of being rebuilt from the ground up, after having fastboot flashed the factory image, necessitating a full wipe (I was running a custom ROM/Kernel combo before)... so I'm taking this slowly, re-installing apps carefully.

It seems that some apps that worked fine under 4.2.2 are broken under 4.3. MX Player and Adobe Flash Player to name a couple.... but QuickPic and Titanium have now been fixed and work fine under 4.3. I'm under no illusions that Adobe Flash Player will be fixed anytime soon... it's been technically deprecated by Adobe for a while anyway.

Anyway... good luck... and hope you get root sorted.

Rgrds,

Ged.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stator:
First and foremost I would like to apologize for taking so long to reply. Real life had me out of town and I didn't have my tablet with me. I tried the advice given but it didn't work at first. It took multiple attempts but I finally got my tablet back to stock. I guess my Nexus 7 didn't agree with the 4.3

OTA while rooted. I can now unlock, root, and even change roms once again. I don't know for sure what was causing the problem but it's all good now. Also, I was always able to use my tablet during my little crisis. I was just unable to unroot or even flash a new rom. Thanks again for all the help.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikonjunkie:
The OTA update hit my phone this afternoon. I'm using the 16GB N4, rooted but running stock ROM. Install looked to be going fine, and then it restarted itself and hung up at the glowing X for about 20 minutes.

Possibly stupid, but at that point I held the power button down to restart it. Now I can't get past the X.

Booted into fastboot mode. Recovery Mode gives me the open Android belly icon and says "No command". Start hangs up at the X.

At this point I'm at a loss to what I should even try. I was on 4.2.2 before--no custom ROM or anything like that. Just unlocked bootloader and rooted.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Two options:

1. Flash a custom recovery using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", then boot into it and flash a ROM

2. Download the stock android images from the Google dev site and flash them using fastboot
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lopezk38:
Download the 4.3 image HERE

Then, plug in your phone into your computer, boot into fastboot mode, extract the zip and run the flash-all.bat file (Or the .sh if your on a *nix/OSX computer). This will flash 4.3. If you don't want to loose your data, delete the userdata.img in the zip file before running the .bat/.sh file. Wipe cache in recovery, and it should boot.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tanmaynarang:
Go into fastboot and download the stock image from Google.

Run the batch file it comes with and bam, you should be good to go
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mercado_Negro:
Once you see the Android laying on its back with a red triangle, press and hold power button and then press volume up once. That'll take you to the recovery options. At this point you must decide if you want to wipe data/factory reset (which will let you go past the X logo) because that'll wipe your device, all your data will be gone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikonjunkie:
Do I need ADB installed? Have never needed it for any reason on this computer

The flash-all.bat file is giving me the error "fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command" (am on Win 8)

Not sure if it's relevant, but I don't believe I have USB debugging enabled right now. It is 99% of the time, but of course right now I'm almost sure it's not. Am I screwed? My phone isn't showing up as a drive on my computer like it normally would. Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lopezk38:

Of course I did loads of icon customization last night before all this mess. I'm mystified what couldn't caused this OTA update to crap out. It looked to be going fine, little green line proceeding to the right as expected, then once it rebooted, it just stayed on that X forever.

I have the similar problem here - OTA 4.3 finished ok, but I've lost my root. When I try to boot into recovery, I got "No command" (probably in english, it's in fact translated) and Android laying with open belly.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikonjunkie:
The open Android belly is *supposed* to show up? Wow, then I guess I've had a custom recovery so long I can't recall ever seeing this.

If I do that sequence, then I get the options:

- reboot system now

- apply update from ADB

- wipe data/factory reset

- wipe cash partition

If this is the stock recovery, then how do I go about getting a custom recovery on here? So far have been unsuccessful with sideloading anything via the toolkits. I'm now on 4.3, unrooted, but unlocked bootloader. I guess I was expecting the menu that permits you to flash a zip on the phone FROM the phone.

Four more hours, and I am throwing this Nexus off the 23rd floor balcony.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mercado_Negro:
When you connect your device via USB, does the computer recognize it and open up a window where you can see your files/folders?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikonjunkie:
Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. I can't figure out the inconsistency. Same things are checked. I've changed USB ports (tried all three), tried a new cable, quadruple-checked the settings. Rebooted the phone and the computer, and still it's inconsistent. I can hear the little chime on the computer indicating it's recognizing the device, but only half the time does it open the folder to view files. The other half of the time, the phone doesn't show up as a drive under My Computer at all--even after a refresh.

In a strange new dvelopment, in Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit, the phone is recognized in bootloader mode, but nothing on this green earth can make it show up as an ADB device when powered up and booted into Android. I've tried going at it from every angle. Didn't have this problem last night. Other than setting up email and moving icons around, I didn't do much to it, so I'm mystified and annoyed.

Thanks for any ideas.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mercado_Negro:
Yeah, that's happened here as well. Sometimes I have to unplug and plug it back in to make it show folders and files. It's inconsistent as you say (though to be honest, I can't remember if it's happened again since I flashed 4.3 a week ago). Anyways, you say that adb can't see it when you type "adb devices", right? If you turn off your device (unplugged), then press and hold power and volume down buttons for a few seconds to go to Bootloader and then plug it back in, can you run any adb command? Like push, pull, etc.? That would rule out any faulty file in your platform-tools folder (where fastboot.exe is).

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilfer:
Rejoice!

Hey fellas,

So, it appears that the problem is related to the device thinking that headphones are plugged in. I would assume it is some kind of hardware fault.

However, there is an easy way to work around it (took me days of despair to find it) - install the app "soundabout" from the app store (cant post a link because I do not have 10 posts yet) . Under the media audio setting you can route all media sound through the speakers, thereby bypassing the problem. You do not need the pro version, but if this program just saved you from buying a new device...

app does not require anything other than a one time install and setup, so no annoying icons or thelike. only problem i encountered is that switching to different accounts on the device somehow mutes the sound, and it requires a restart to get it back to working. If anyone encounters the same limitation, let me know (or better, find a fix for it;) )

Cheers,

pilfer

Since it took me forever to find this app myself, some tag words for google: no media sound on speakers, only notification sounds, alarm sounds only, no sound from videos, no sound from music
