[Oppo Find 5] WA_Bob:
So I bought Find 5 from someone and found out it was rooted with Pacman Rom/ TWRP after the fact. Earlier today, I thought I managed to flash the stock firmware back onto this phone using TWRP, but instead I had something new (in my experience, at least) happen to me. after I power it on and plug it into my PC with the OEM cable, it will ask me if I want it to be a media device or a USB storage device and I can see & modify the files/ folders. As for the phone itself, all it will display is the status bar (Battery, signal status) and I can pull it down to access the quick settings. Otherwise the screen is completely blank. When I pull down the quick settings bar try to hit the system settings icon (the "gear" wheel icon), the status bar disappears. and all I can get the phone to do is bring up the power on/ off menu when I hold the power button. I can get it into fastboot (power + volume up), but I can't get it to boot into recovery using the keys (power + volume down), or adb, or fastboot.

I'm honestly at my wits end with this phone right now. I think it's only soft bricked, but I have no clue how to get it to take the stock ROM (or any ROM for that matter) and nothing online seems to mention my problem and I can't even begin to guess what the f**k I managed to do. :eek:

Can anyone offer me any help or insight so that I can turn my brick back into a working Find 5? :(
[Oppo Find 5] theevilworm:
So you can boot into fastboot mode? That's a start, everything should be fixable using fastboot.

Try flashing a new recovery, maybe the old one is corrupted.

Then try to boot into recovery again.
[Oppo Find 5] WA_Bob:
I'll give it a shot :good:
[Windows 8 General] pingpong1109:
Ok so I will make this short. I got a computer with Windows 8 on it and I decided to dual boot it. When I did Ubuntu booted and I looked with Gparted to see if windows is still there and it said it was. I booted and than windows didn't boot at all. I went back into Ubuntu to check and it said that the partition was empty. I have a recovery image in a hard drive and a Recovery disc, plus a product key. I refuse to spend the money on a Windows 8 install disc because I already bought a copy, I have a key for it. I tried the windows installer thing that is supposed to give me an iso to use but it says my product key can not be used for it. I can get the recovery disc to boot and I tried re-installing from an image file but it doesn't see windows so I can't restore it.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Why dont you boot into the hard disk recovery then...
[Windows 8 General] pingpong1109:
I already tried it. It doesn't boot into it, I think that may be corrupt or something. If I can't figure this out I will just use Ubuntu. Not to big of deal, just want compatibility.
[HTC Rezound] UgXvibe:
I recently purchased the HTC One and I want to give my wife my Rezound. Do I need to replace the SIM card to activate the phone with her number? A rep at a corporate store says he does not think they can put her number on the current SIM and that my number is 'burnt' into it. Is this true?
[HTC Rezound] UgXvibe:
Nevermind.. Verizon support changed the current SIM to wife's number. No problems.
[Shield Android Development] johnsongrantr:
Concept- Import as much of the OUYA frameworks and applications as possible to make the experience as similar to a portable OUYA console as possible. This will ideally include direct access to the OUYA store for app download and in app purchase though official means of downloading OUYA software.

Endstate- A full custom rom because it's not as simple as installing an app (it's supposed to be, but it isn't) and to get full functionality a bit of system level changes are going to be needed (keymapping/framework). My goal with this is to make this a portable package to be installed via recovery so anyone that wants to add it to their own rom without developer support will be able to do so. If successful on shield, then other phones/tablets should be able to benefit from this as well with additional custom mappings for PS3/XBOX360/MOGA/OUYA controllers

--------------------------

-What fully works-

OUYA live wallpaper

OUYA Button mapping (custom mapped only, need to create 2nd functions so shield can keep it's current mapping function in tegra/android games and streaming)

-What partially works-

OUYA OOBE (initial console setup application, can connect wifi, but can't create a new account)

OUYA games start up and are playable when side loaded (need to fix ouya framework for complete compatibility, non-functional framework)

OUYA framework (use NDK 1.0.2 or prior)

OUYA launcher (use NDK 1.0.2 or prior)

-What doesn't work-

OUYA Store (can't access OUYA store or login with OUYA account)

-Haven't tried yet-

OUYA browser

OUYA onscreen keyboard

OUYA boot animation

HDMI/MIRCAST output

BLUETOOTH OUYA controller

others?

-----------------------------

Lessons Learned-

OUYA ODK offered official support for non-native hardware, but is now broken (has been broken since 1.0.2 OUYA acknowledges but hasn't fixed) discussion

OUYA button mapping is slightly different than shield ABXY (uses BUTTON_O BUTTON_U BUTTON_Y BUTTON_A) see below under "constants"

https://devs.ouya.tv/developers/docs/controllers

OUYA launcher is a home launcher activity, will give option to replace default launcher like any other home launcher replacement when home button is pressed.

OUYA framework will permanently break the nvidia/power button bringing up the shield game/store/stream interface. Must be launched as app from that point forward.

OUYA framework will permanently break the shield's android browser (chrome is fine)

[Shield Android Development] SixSixSevenSeven:
Sounds interesting. If it works, well, ends the old OUYA vs Shield threads argument once and for all (although thankfully that thread seems to be long dead). Only thing the OUYA would win on would be cost.

How would you handle the extra touchpad on the ouya controller? just use the screen? not sure if that would work without some heavier mods, the ouya touchpad is exposed as a bluetooth mouse, hell, it apparently works on windows sometimes.
[Shield Android Development] johnsongrantr:
haven't gotten that far yet, but I imagine the apps that use the the mouse also respond to touchscreen events as that's what it's simulating, might need to turn analog mouse on/off, but who knows. Cross that bridge when we get to it.
[Shield Android Development] poo-tang:
Hi,

I have been working on this too but seams the OP is further along then i am. I have got games launching and have found an earlier ODK version with working launcher (Screenshots attached below running on my Tegra 3 Sony Xperia Tablet S and my Xperia Z)

Here are the v1.5 apks if will help - http://www22.zippyshare.com/v/58968936/file.html

I can launch, select menus and boot into / play ouya games but i have still not found away to sign in and download games straight from the store or even sign in to enable games like Final Fantasy to run.

Any help or updates on the progress made by the thread OP will be helpful.

Thanks :)
[Shield Android Development] johnsongrantr:
Excellent, you found a piece I've been looking for, (zero response from the ouya dev community, my very specific request for any legacy mirror remains unanswered)

I will have a go at it this weekend.

I'm under the assumption your sign in data is generated and stored after successfully going through the OOBE app and creating/singing in a ouya account, that data gets handed to the launcher/store. This is of course is/was an untestable assumption until we had a working framework.
[Shield Android Development] cp_kirkley:
This is pretty awesome to see, thanks to both of you for your efforts.
[Shield Android Development] SiDCrAzY:
This is really cool. Wish I could buy some of the games.

Seeing the Ouya startup screen on my Shield was awesome though.
[Shield Android Development] kieso:
This would be a great rom for dual boot on the shield to switch back and forth.
[Shield Android Development] Furyus:
Found links to AWS hosting for previous ODK versions such as 0.0.6 and 1.0.2, unfortunately my super lurk status prevents me from posting here. I'll PM the links.
[Shield Android Development] poo-tang:
Nice find thanks a lot :)

With the 1.2 version I can actually begin to register/Sign in with an Ouya account without force close. Only issue now is that Ouya servers won't respond to logins. Time to look for a way round this and fool the Ouya servers into thinking we are running this on a Ouya console.

You can add the Ouya account to the main list in your device settings too. This has issues with auto login as apparently "Sign in issue - could not get registry token for console"
[Shield Android Development] Furyus:
It's disappointing. I would certainly buy a few OUYA games without any expectation of support, etc.
[Shield Android Development] cp_kirkley:
When you say you've been able to launch/play games, what games were you able to play? I tried the demo to Chronoblade and was able

load to the start screen (regardless of the launcher) but no buttons are detected after that. Buttons worked fine in Ouya launcher, though.
[Shield Android Development] poo-tang:
Well the only Ouya exclusive game that worked/have tried with my HID (Xbox) controller was Super Crate Box so far. The other games that worked are games which also have copys on Google Play (these have both HID and Ouya programmed).

I myself have not found away yet to change the native button mappings to the Ouya coded Button_O/Button_U/Button_Y/Button_A as simple remapping apps like gamekeyboard don't seam to support these key codes.

I would like to see how the OP managed to remap these? as far as I can tell the native Google virtual keyboard code does not contain these key codes to be remapped too.
[Shield Android Development] SixSixSevenSeven:
OUYA controller is apparently just a regular bluetooth HID under the hood. Windows even recognises it. The touch region in the middle is a bluetooth mouse,
[Shield Android Development] cp_kirkley:
Does this mean the controls can be spoofed by a program like tincore? If no one gets to it before I do, I'll take a look tonight. From my understanding, TKM already supports the ouya controller layout.
[Shield Android Development] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
Chronoblade is somewhat unique compared to other OUYA games as it's the only one i've found that flat out REQUIRES an OUYA controller to control it. I messed around with it a bit when it first launched a few months ago and the problem is deeper than remapping the hard keys. Pretty much any other OUYA game will work with a (properly mapped)controller for the most part.

What might be a better solution for this would be to design a custom made launcher(not a mod of the OUYA one) that incorporates the download schema these guys use - OUYAlytics.com , and an Xposed style mod of the OUYA framework.
[Shield Android Development] johnsongrantr:
you can manually change the keycode name, it requires root access. I haven't messed with it beyond my own proof of concept. I wanted to make secondary functions for the shield's keycodes as if released in it's current state would break the controller working with most shield software.

here's relevent information if you want to make the changes yourself before I solve the secondary function problem. It may need redoing some kcm files which aren't as easily modified.

http://source.android.com/devices/tech/input/key-layout-files.html
[Shield Android Development] agrabren:
It's also possible that the game is looking directly at the scan codes, which would require a hack in the input service to remap, but is definitely doable. Not sure how one would make it "toggleable", though.
[Shield Android Development] Kwongger:
I am willing to help as much as I can with this. I think if this can eventually progress into a "Dual-Boot" type thing I would DEFINITELY incorporate it into my Toolkit! Let me know when you need someone to test or need some feedback :D
[Shield Android Development] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
If anyone needs me to test anything or wants logcats I have a rooted OUYA on hand and can make an OUYA account for testing if need be.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CatholicChurch:
Hi there, after receiving a new RAZR since my last one broke, I decided that I only wanted to root it and install cyanogen mod onto it. Fast forward 5 months and now I've decided I want to install the new MIUI v5 but in order to do that I need to upgrade from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2. I downloaded the OTA update but after it attempts to install, it reboots and says update failed. Just some background info I have a GSM RAZR rooted and have safe strap on. Any ideas on how to make it not fail?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] AztekSoul:
Thats probably because you removed some system apps,you need to flash ics again through rsdlite and then update to jb.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CatholicChurch:
I don't think I removed any system apps though, I haven't uninstalled or disabled any apps that it came with.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pastorbennett:
You don't even need to upgrade. You can use this tool to install and boot MIUI without upgrading: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...-between-jellybean-kernels-with-ease/?hl=dual
[Motorola Droid RAZR] AztekSoul:
In order to use that tool he has to be on jb kernel not ics.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mgdking:
I have been wanting this phone ever since HTC announced it back in February. Now to finally have it available on verizon and its only offered in silver! I am so frustrated the way Verizon has handled this phone since day one and now this crap with one color to choose from! I have tried tweeting on verizons official tweet page asking if there will ever be a black version offered and if so when. Not one person has acknowledged me at all. Droid life reported that atleast one of there sources claims to have seen the black version. Whether thats true or not who knows? My question to anyone who reads this post....Do you know if there will be or ever will be a black version available on verizon?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
I doubt it exists, currently. I mean think about it. There would more than likely be pictures of it if it did. And seeing as it's a 6 month old device already, I am guessing silver will be the only color we see, until there is a refresh of the HTC One.

So you have 3 options. Buy the silver and live with it. Wait and see if a black version comes for the current model, or a refreshed One, or get a different phone.

Kind of weird to only sell the silver, black is a very popular color for phones.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Reefer Madness:
Verizon might opt to carry it sometime down the road.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] AaronM7:
There has also been talk of Verizon getting an exclusive blue model, just FYI.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mgdking:
Yeah i read that somewhere but it also said that could be a best buy exclusive. Which kinda makes since I guess. Just not for me i want black.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cruckus:
If you get one from sprint then use the supercid you can have the red on big red! Or the black of course...

Or do what I'm doing and grab a black case. There are also some skins for both the front and rear of the htc one that can change the way it looks

I have jsut installed Tomtom 5 on my wm2005 xda2 following instructoins found on this forum, however, you have to put certain files on your device (program files and my documents) folders.

I want to install this so that the whole thing is situated on my sd card. Is this possiible?

If so, what folders do you need to create etc, i've tried the obvious ones, like creating a program files and my documents folder on the sd card but as the path is known as \storage card\program files it didn't work :(

Any advice would be helpful... :/

i installed tt5 no problem. WM2005 ask`s you where you want to install.

the only thing is the zip folder needs to be on the device.

Works fine without postal codes.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] steverae:
strange coz my zip folder is on my sd card along with my map.

I could not install tomtom 5 using the installer as it kept crashing when trying to access activesync 4 so had to manually install it by extracting the cab and copying the files manually to the device folders program files and my documents.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjgowtham:
Can I charge my z from night till morning everyday? Will it swell up the battery or decrease its battery life?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvd777:
Battery have protection, so You can leave it over night. In the morning You can find batter on 92-96%. That is no problem, it is some kind of overcharge protection. When it came to 100%, it stops charging and start discharging to avoid any battery or phone damage.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PRofec:
I read somewhere that it is good for the phone to be on charge often. Its the charge/discharge cycles that wear out the battery. The battery is only good for a certain amount of charge cycles. For example, if the battery goes down to say 60% then you charge it back to full, thats only 20% of 1 full charge cycle (40% of the discharging half of the cycle = 20%).

I always have my phone on charge overnight. I just updated from a 2 year old Xperia Arc and the battery on that still lasts as long as it did when it was new.

If you think about it, if its on charge and reaches full, it isnt really using the battery is it? Its running off mains.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinsfanbdh:
charging overnight is not bad but letting your battery drain below 10-15% is bad. it is best to charge from 40-50%
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -totonio-:
For lithium batteries il better charge from 80% To 100 than 10% To 100... The battery is Less stressed... So.. For me over night it's ok, The battery has protection But charging from 10 To 100% no..
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kirkymole:
Mine is on charge around 80% of the day, yet maintains it's original battery life when it's running off its own juice.

I don't see a problem, the only issue I can think of is that using the phone heavily whilst on charge causes the battery to heat up and this can sometimes be felt through the phones casing.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defsix:
I use a 350ma charger, it takes about 4.5 hours to charge over night, ( about 7.5 hours). I believe slow charging and not draining the battery too much is the best way.

I need some serious ous help and advice. I'm having lots of problems with CROMI 4.7 and my TF300T. My problem is that the screen will freeze and do nothing moments at a time, and also has problems waking up when power pressed. For example I'll be browsing and then all of a sudden nothing works, I'll have to wait minutes before I get a message that the app I'm using is not responding. It happens with any app ie Feedly, Chrome. So annoying I want to Hulk Smash! I'm on Hunds kernel and I have not done any factory reboot or memory of wipes as I'm not certain it will fix the issues. Further the tablet takes forever to wake up when I press the power button! CROMI worked awesome in version 3.5 but I would hate to roll back...! Please help!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robgee789:
well if you havnt done a full wipe thats gonna be your problem as for big changes its better to wipe everything, so i would use titanium backup to back your app (not system apps though just user apps) and back them up to your micro sd card then make sure you have the right 2.5.0.0 twrp and the latest cromi-x which is v5 right now then put that on your micro sd card then use twrp to wipe your tablet by going to wipe then swipe for factory reset that will erase all apps and there data then just flash cromi-x and restore your apps with titanium backup.

cromi-x v5 is flying for me mate
