[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimmyBoomBots:
I'm using an EVO LTE, but this question should apply to anyone using an Android device that has internal storage and an external card slot.

Let me preface by saying *I know this has been asked before*, but the threads that I could find change direction before my question is answered, because I doubt that anyone has posted with the same purpose. Allow me to explain:

I'm trying to use my EVO LTE as my sole media player (specifically, the internal storage). Connecting it to the PC and getting the files onto it are no big deal (of course I do need to use MTP, which I hate). Now on to the problem:

I'd like to be able to use the device connected to my car's USB port. Being able to pick through my media using the car stereo controls is a big plus for me, and worked great when I had an iPod (which I don't anymore, not getting into that).

Of course, the car stereo's USB connection doesn't support MTP, only Mass Storage, at least as far as I can tell (It's a stock stereo in a Fit). I get a compatibility type of error currently when I try to connect my phone using the 'HTC Sync Manager' USB option in the phone (which mounts the device using MTP). The 'Disk Drive' option of course only mounts the external card.

SOOOO, what I'd love to be able to do is mount the internal storage via USB Mass Storage. I'm not sure if this is currently doable, but my forum-scouring to date leads me to believe that it is not. Any ideas out there? I'm rounding third on offering a bounty for this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimmyBoomBots:
No takers?

I have 0.5 BTC or $50, your choice, for anyone that can enable me to connect to the internal storage using Mass Storage and get my car to read it. I really don't want to buy another iPod...

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naptzer:
Hi everyone !

3 weeks ago I installed the Xperia UHD 4.0 rom on my arc s following the indicated steps except for the root (my phone was rooted with eroot). Then I tried to install Greenify has recommanded by jader, but i noticed it always failed at hibernating apps. So I checked if I still had my phone rooted, in 2 ways : via Root Checker app, and via a method with Connectbot (if you want to know search "is my phone rooted").

I realized my phone isn't rooted anymore but i have CWM installed (don't know why but i can boot in CWM...), so I'm asking :

- Is it safe to reinstall xperia uhd ? (since i'm not root anymore)

- Any idea to get root back ?

If anything is missing, just tell me i'll add it :)

EDIT : i tried to reinstall UHD 4.0 but now I'm stuck at the sony logo. If someone is able to help that would save my life :)

And i tried SEUS, which tells me I have the most recent firmware.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popthosegaskets:
Try installing SuperSU and see if you can regain root access. UHD comes rooted so you don't have to do anything to your phone unless you uninstalled Superuser which will make you lose root...

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naptzer:
I know, that's the point : I didn't uninstall anything :(...

Yep ! So I've just downloaded and opened the app. It tells me to update binary, i had to choose between "Normal" installation and "CWM installation".

I tried "Normal" and I got a german message which basically said "Superuser has been detected and it may causes conflicts, do you want to try to remove it ?". I pressed no, and got "Installation failed".

Then I tried CWM installation. It tells me it's going to reboot in recovery, and if nothing happens access recovery manually.

Concretely, it reboots, but normally (and nothing happens). So if I reboot in recovery, I have to install SuperSU from SD (with the zip given in the xda thread) ?

I assume you mean reflash from recovery mode ("install zip from sd card"), without wiping data and without formating /system. I'm trying right now.

EDIT : I tried, but now i'm stuck at the Sony logo :(. Everything went well, except the reboot failed... If you know what to do, like taking out and in the battery and try rebooting, it would be cool...

If you're using UHD4, it should come as a AROMA installer. Just select upgrade from existing installation. You will keep your data this way.

That's what i've done, but as said previously, I'm now stuck at the sony logo... I am going to search for some kind of unbrick method using flashtool (i'm going to try to reflash the stock firmware, then reroot via eroot, and reinstall UHD 4.0).

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sky2k-y2k:
I just changed phones from the galaxy S2 to the S4 and I am looking for a way to use a similar lockscreen to the S2:

After locking your phone (using lock button or screen timeout) it would allow you to swipe to unlock until 2 minutes have passed.

Afterwords you would need to use a pattern to unlock it

The S4 will not let me do this. Instead it leaves the screen blacked unless the home button, volume buttons, or lock button get pressed then just continue from the last screen I was in. While this may be a good feature for some people (not me), I am constantly finding myself sending text messages with short nonsense words strung together and then opening random apps in my pocket which create noise.

Is there any way (without checking the "lock instantly with power key" option as I enjoy the 2 minute grace period) to do this?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

NOTE: I have tried Tasker to do this (swapping back and forth between locksceens on a timer) but I am not sure if it is possible or I am using poor syntax when writing the tasks.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellRazorGod:
Hi Guys,

So I'd rooted the Nexus 4 by unlocking the bootloader and flashing the rooted kernel. I didn't flash a custom ROM after that. So what I had was a 4.2.2 Stock ROM with a rooted kernel so I could use the root functions. Now I get a system update notification after it downloads the new stock 4.3 on its own on my phone. But now since I don't have the stock recovery, selecting " Reboot and install update" after the system update downloads just leads me to the CWM recovery and obviously I don't have a custom update.zip to flash.

So my question is..How do I flash back the stock recovery and hence lose root and update to 4.3 without flashing the STOCK ROM back, thereby keeping my existing apps on 4.2.2. intact? So what I wanna do is flash the stock kernel which restores the stock recovery...Let the stock system update itself to 4.3 and then maybe Root the phone again..

Could someone kindly direct me to a solution?

Would appreciate a quick response

Cheers!

Download the factory images, you can find stock recovery inside. Flash the recovery.img in bootloader mode.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Kernel and recovery is 2 separated partition in Nexus 4, so flashing kernel won't restore your recovery.

OK fair point, I was pointing out the easy fix to get the wired GPS receiver unit to work - turn off IRdA, this will not as you correctly indicate force TT5 to use the on screen display keyboard, nothing will until they i.e. tomtom fix the situation - its just poor code untried and released on to the market - I would love to continue with vs3 but it will not work with my XDAIIs, vs 5 does (at last) but not hapy with the interface, lack of on screen keyboard and the inbuilt POI warner (speed cams etc) is rubbish compared to CheckPOI that I use on my ipaq-4700 - mike

Rooting alone will not cause the type of problems you are describing. Have you installed a custom ROM, custom launcher, or any other alterations to /system that would require root privileges?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cubiche:
No 2nd bootloader. just root and i can't enable adb
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Adb was required for root, it should still be enabled if you never were able to get into settings after root. Weird... If worst comes to worst u might have to reflash the system image, which on the bright side is prerooted. But I just don't see how rooting it could cause such a weird error, sounds like something got messed up with the systemui apk, and root doesn't modify that.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
To remove "root", simply enter the following commands in a terminal emulator:

su
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm /system/xbin/su
mount -o remount,ro /system
exit

But, be warned. If having "root" is not the source of your problem, as I suspect, and you have some additional changes to your /system directory that you've failed to mention, you will not only be stuck with the problem you had to begin with, but you will also not have root permissions or the adb connection you would need to fix your device.

I guess I assumed that's what you meant when you said you had saved images.

Unless you unpack, unroot and repack your system.img, it's going to be rooted either way because you have to have root permissions to save your system.img. But it seems beyond all logic and reasoning to think that having "root", which consists of two files that are completely independent of the systemui.apk and framework-res.apk, would have any effect on the navbar at all.

By all means, restore your stock images. I'm very interested to see if it has any effect.

That would be a bad idea. The boot.img contained in the update.zip will probably only work for that ROM, and there is no system.img in the update that can be flashed in fastboot.

You can install the 2nd bootloader, along with custom recovery and flash the update.zip in recovery, after a factory reset in said recovery.
