*GOOGLE PLAY EDITION PHONES FAIL*

When the nexus 7 2013 was announced at the google's conference android 4.3 was introduce. Virtual surround sound, restricted profiles, trim support, open GL ES 3.0, bluetooth 4.0 was more or less under the hood features you can come to expect from it. Once Google was done glorifying it's latest tablet, i said to my self ok GEP(Google edition phones) time to see if you will receive updates in timely manner, like the nexus line. And man am i so glad i didn't spend my hard earned money on one these nexus wanna-be's. It makes absolutely no sense to spend $600+ on one of these when you can cut that price in half and get a phone with comparable specs, that receive updates when they release. There's no excuse, even the galaxy-nexus which is even older than the GEP's received the update in time. Sorry GEP owners i'd just stick with a nexus!

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuzi0719:
Just got my new T-Mobile Z, have it rooted. I normally install Kernel Tuner to look at/adjust core speeds, governors, etc. but when I installed it and opened the app, the phone reboots. On reboot, as soon as Kernel Tuner gets Superuser permission, the phone will reboot again. I have to be very quick to disable KT as soon as phone reboots. So, I uninstalled KT, installed some other kernel adjustment apps and they all do the same thing.

Is this a known issue with the stock kernel/ROM? Typically, I like to underclock just a little, perhaps set governor to Conservative if it is available. But, now I'm afraid to install anything because I don't want to end up with a runaway boot loop.

Thanks to all, and especially for the clear and great tips on rooting, was so simple and easy!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngvuanh:
I rooted my Z with DooMLorD.

I ran System Tuner without a problem.

Kernel Tuner says it ONLY supports HTC EVO 3D (even though it might work on other devices).

I suspect it's software issue.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuzi0719:
I used kernel tuner on my previous MyTouch 4G Slide, but that is also HTC so I guess that Sense framework is what matters. I'll give the other app a try.

No, didn't want to go that far. I uninstalled the kernel apps I mentioned and installed System Tuner. It seems to work OK, though with stock kernel there aren't many items to tinker with. That's OK for me, though.

Thanks for pointing that option out, though.
[HTC One X] Stefan0vic:
Hello there XDA and sorry for another thread.

I have encountered many problems the last few days with my phone, including battery problems and reboot problems which i managed to fix. Now the only problem that is left is that my HOX get's REALLY warm when doing things like facebook/whatsapp and installing an app etc.

It seems I have tried everything. I have tried to undervolt using alex's kernel, every setting almost -50mv. I also have tried turning power saver off. Also tried charging it for 10 minutes and then holding power up+down + power button.

I really am out of ideas, and even though this is like the 3rd thread from me on xda in the past couple of days I really need your help.

Should I restore my nandroid backup of my unrooted stock version?

Im running viper 3.7.7 as of now with alexV kernel.

Edit: It seems to hit 40-50 degrees on regular basis when doing nothing but browse facebook and whatsapp etc.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
This should work on any ROM, any recovery. AOSP, TouchWiz, Sense, MotoBlur, Xperia, whatever.

The very first thing you should do is check the md5sum to make sure it matches itself to ensure that your backup is good to begin with. Because if you use this method without doing that you could restore a bad backup and that may do more harm than good, use at your own risk. Or you can just restore the backup to make sure it's working correctly.

Then open a file browser, navigate to your backup (it should be in the clockworkmod/backups folder on one of your SDs). Open that up, then find "nandroid.md5". Open that file, it should tell you it can't open it and give you an option to "Open As", pick that. Then choose to Open it as a text file. Choose the appropriate text editor (you should have at least one installed, the screenshots are from ROM Toolbox, download it... It has all the tools you need). Delete all the text inside, then save. You are now done, no more md5 mismatch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Visual Aides
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] johanwanderer:
What is the reason for MD5 mismatch? It's not like there are multiple ways of computing MD5 with different outputs :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
On this device it's usually because the nandroid was made on a different recovery than the one it's being restored on. I just do this for every nandroid and don't worry about it anymore.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Thanks bilgerryan. I'm sure it will help many.

One thing I would do first (being a backup nut) is:

Once you've created a nandroid boot into the system and check it via an MD5 checker - I use the AFV app. That way you know it matches 'itself' and is valid as can be for that recovery.

Then go ahead and clear out the info if you plan on using other recoveries - like switching between AOSP and TW etc.

I know we don't have to worry as much in the past but even 'good' recoveries didn't always perform as they should and create incomplete images.

I really hope some people read your post before asking/complaining about mismatches but that might be too much to hope for and we'll just have to see it in the 'facepalm' threard. :p

Thanks again Ryan for all your work and support!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Good point, I'll add that to the OP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] doctorman:
can I restore a nandroid backup on a new same model phone with the same kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Yes, you should be able to do that. Or one from a friend's phone. Let me know cuz I haven't tested but I'm 99% sure it will as long as it is the same phone (ie E4GT).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] doctorman:
my E4GT died on me and got a new E4GT tried to restore the nand backup that was made by AGAT 1.4.2F and I kept getting md5 mismatch

couple days ago my wife's e4gt died and I am waiting for the replacement. hopefully with this instructions I can use the nand backup.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Yep, should be able to once you get it rooted
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] doctorman:
thank you!

I just got my new phone

cleaned up the nandroid.md5 in the old recovery

odin the 1.4.2 kernel and restored the backup

all went easy and clean no bugs so far..:good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] westwoodguy:
Sorry if this is a stupid question but how do you check the md5?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Or you can also use an app on PC like WinMD5: http://www.winmd5.com/

Hi i was wondering if there is an English UK nandroid i can use please. Had one before but it didn't have the UK version.

Greatly apreciated :)
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Use any 3.20.401 nandroid, they are not cid dependant. Just never lock the bootloader before you did a official update !
[HTC One X] Danw20:
Yeah but id rather have UK instead of US though. Is a few differences in the language and stuff.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Is that so.....all the 3.20.401 roms have the same language packs ! :cool:
[HTC One X] Danw20:
This one doesn't include English UK. Im 99% sure some form of stock does. All the custom roms i've used definately have UK.

And i never knew Belgium spoke English. Thought they spoke French with a bit of Dutch and German :P
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Well US HTC one X are coded as HTC one XL.....EVITA phones they have different hardware.

3.20.401 are WWE EUROPE so it must include english, there is no other option. So or you don't have a stock 3.20.401 or you are mixing some up !
[HTC One X] Danw20:
Yes i have 3.20.401.1. Looking at the weather app it seems it is a Dutch one, Amsterdam being the top city. Hmmm custom roms 100% have English UK, so why wouldn't this?

I will quickly flash my own Nandroid which is 3.16 i believe and will tell yoi if it includes UK.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Offcourse when a nandroid backup is made after they set it up then they have a different language or location enabled !!! Perform a factory reset from the bootloader and set it up again.

Believe me now !!! ALL 3.20.401 roms ha e the same languages on board !
[HTC One X] Danw20:
Ohhh, HTC being awkward there haha. I will do that! I assume i have gotta put the stock recovery back on? Thanks
[HTC One X] Drug_Store:
It depends on CID of phone.

If HTC__001 is english and few others.

To show all languages, you must change CID to 11111111 (superCID), then all languages appear.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
LOL !!! You have no clue what you are saying ! That's supercid you can't write yourself supercid !!!

For the last time ALL 3.20.401 ARE THE SAME !!! :banghead:

only change is cid number !
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
This one is present in ALL 3.20.401 wwe versions

ENGLISH UK !
[HTC One X] Drug_Store:
Sorry to disagree... that´s a noob comment.

Of course you can write CID yourself, you may need a S-Off unit, which is my case, BUT is possible.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2232063

So before, you say something, try research.

And YES, it´s CID related. I put HTC__001, will only show those languages, but with 11111111, all languages appear... ;)

EDIT:

One thing is correct, languages are ALL inside the OS, however, will only show them depending on CID your phone have. And I mean official OS, not cooked roms as shown on pic you added

I think I might be making some progress.

After setting every back to as stock as possible, I was still finding the same problem.

So, I found and installed an old RUU, which installed OK on the second attempt. (I was oriignally running .13, the RUU was an older .7)

This has let me run through the OTAs back up to .12 so far, it's re-downloading the latest one atm. I'm hoping it'll install OK like the .12 and then I can re-unlock everything.

edit:

the latest OTA installed just fine.

I thought I'd got this sorted out but something's still not right.

Everything looks fine once booted but whatever I backup from within CWM, it runs through as you'd expect but its not shown when I browse my SDCard once booted.

inside CWM, I see just

0/

clocworkmod/

legacy/

obb/

the contents of the sdcard are shown as being inside 0/, it's like CWMs working at a folder higher up the tree then it has for me before.

that means I cant delete or copy backup from a pc..

does anyone know what might be wrong please?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herwegan:
you're running 4.2.2 now, so this is normal, you need to move your backup files to the sd card folder to be able to see them on a pc.

get a root explorer, the cwm backup files are now in mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup

[HTC Rezound] kalbany:
I had my phone unlocked and working with a custom ROM in the past, but after some problems I gave up and just relocked it and went back to stock. Now I'm trying to unlock it again and I'm running into some problems. I'm unable to get the identifier token to use with htcdev because whenever I go into the bootloader my phone is not recognized by adb. fastboot oem get_identifier_token leaves me with a waiting for device message, and adb devices returns an empty list. If I turn the phone on normally the device shows up then. To the best of my knowledge, I have all the necessary drivers. I have tried multiple USB slots, multiple computers (including the one I originally did the unlock on, when it worked fine), and have searched all around the internet and various forums for an answer. I've tried manually updating the USB drivers through device manager, but that did nothing. I have HTC sync installed as well. When I plug the USB cable in I sometimes get a device cannot be identified/has malfunctioned message. Device manager also shows a yellow warning triangle on my phone when in the bootloader. I'm on windows 8 currently, but I've tried it on a windows 7 pc as well with the same results.

tldr: adb doesn't recognize my phone while in bootloader, so I can't unlock it.

Thanks in advance for any help, I've tried everything I can think of.
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
It sounds like the waiting for device message with fastboot it because you're in bootloader (hboot) instead of fastboot maybe. You want to uninstall the HTC sync program, it's used because it installs the drivers then you get rid of the program itself or at least make sure it's not running at startup and when you connect the device. On Windows 8 did you disable the driver signature verification yet?
[HTC Rezound] kalbany:
Same result in fastboot, I'll try uninstalling HTC sync and disabling driver signature verification now and see how it goes

edit: same result, adb devices comes up empty when in fastboot after disabling driver signature verification and uninstalling HTC sync
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
It should be "fastboot devices" as the command.

Does your computer have native USB 3?
[HTC Rezound] kalbany:
that returns nothing it just starts a new command line.

and two of the ports are usb 3.0 one is 2.0, I've tried all three
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
Use the snip tool in windows to grab a screenshot of the command window stretched out to show the history, that may point me in the right direction. Do a search for Windows 8 ADB and Fastboot driver installation (i prefer Google and prefix the search with "site: www.xda-developers.com" no quotes) and you should find a thread with the steps for installing the drivers properly after signature verification is disabled in Windows 8. I used it to remotely fix a user's computer with the same issue you're having but I'm mobile at the moment. I'll help you get it straightened out though that's kind of my specialty. I'm about to go get something to eat, I'm working on a migraine and when I get back I'll check back in. Feel free to PM me if you want while waiting on input from others also.
[HTC Rezound] kalbany:
Thank you for the help, I hope this is all you need from the command window. I'm trying the adb and fastboot driver installation thread that you suggested now, hopefully this will have it resolved by the time you get back.

edit: unfortunately that didn't work, it said that the driver is already up to date. The phone shows up as "My HTC" under android USB devices already, even when in the bootloader/fastboot, but it shows the device status as "This device cannot start. (Code 10) A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed."
