Hello

My HTC J Butterfly is currently in a state where I cannot use ADB (cannot install USB drivers):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2417098

Is there any way to install ROM without working ADB/USB ?

Of course if there is a way to fix the ADB/USB that would obviously help as well.

Thanks
[HTC Butterfly] bluheart:
Download the ROM on to your phone and install, that's if you have a working recovery.

Another way is OTA
[HTC Butterfly] jko76:
Unfortunately I cannot download anything to the phone, because there is no ROM.

Bootloader and recovery are working fine.

Any other ideas ?

Take out the sd card and use an adapter then plug the adapter with the sd card in it in the computer and transfer the Rom on it. When Ur done take sd card from out of the adapter then out it back in the phone and flash the Rom then attach the phone bk to the pc if your not s off and put it in fastboot then flash boot image extracted from Ur Rom

Use sideload option
[HTC Butterfly] jko76:
I have flashed Droid DNA ROM to the phone. Since Droid does not support External sd card I cannot use the method you described.
[HTC Butterfly] jko76:
It seems that the sideload option does not work either. Maybe it needs working ADB interface ?

fastboot boot boot.imdg

fastboot system jwr66y.imdg

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot

Now device is stuck in boot loop. Suggestions?

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
How did the command "fastboot system" even work?

When you flash an image, the command is the following:

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Fastboot flash system system.img

Fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

Etc.

Anyways, you could have simply downloaded a rom, boot in recovery, use "adb push" to copy the file on your phone, then install it normally through your recovery.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AHLASSICH:
Convert a tar.md5 file to .img

Most flashable files come as a tar.md5 for use with odin. What do you do with a tar.md5 file if you want to flash it with adb? It appears that adb requires .img files.

My reason for wanting an .img file is that I tried flashing a stock recovery with odin and got an "MD5 Error, Binary is invalid". I have no idea what that means. I just figured I would try the adb approach since I need to learn adb anyway.

I would rather solve the "MD5 Error, Binary is invalid" error and proceed with odin. Since I am a noob, I don't know exactly how to proceed. Can anyone help me resolve this?

Thanks,

Odin? That's for samsung mate. Won't work here. You need to download the factory images and extract it to get stock recovery. Or just head over to general section and there are thread for flashable stock recovery/modem/kernel. There is also a guide on how to use adb, a very detailed one at that. I'm sure you won't have trouble following it. Just read carefully and do it. All the things you need are given in that thread.

1. Make sure you have Android SDK installed. if not download here.

2. Download Nexus 4 factory rom from here.

3. Unzip the factory rom [occam-kot49h-factory]. If you dont know how to unzip. Download and install Winrar. Open the file with Winrar and Extract it somewhere in your computer.

4. Turn off your phone

3. Hold Volume up + Power; once it loads up to bootloader; connect it to your computer

5. The file [occam-kot49h-factory] you extract it early; in there you should see a file flash-all-bat. Open it [run it as admin if you are running Vista/7/8] and let it do its magic. Your phone will factory reset.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pete_S:
I don't like it running either but because it's part of the Android system you can't disable it unless rooted. And then any app which uses it to find content (most music and video players, photo album apps etc) won't work properly, although there are folder browsing apps which don't need it.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitemamba:
For me, I solved the problem largely by using the donate version of Greenify.

I greenified "media storage", "memory" and "storage capability", and this solves the problem. Greenify will allow apps to be frozen when they are not in use, but when they are called via intents, they wake up almost immediately, hence preserving battery without losing any capabilities.

A must have!

hi,

i want to use my old SE Xperia ray as digital filo and need only basic funtions like

- the ability to install something calender app and live wallpaper

- wlan

- sync

what is save to remove from roms?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B1nny:
First of all, I don't really know what you mean by "digital filo", like a digital agenda or something like that? Either way, whatever you're going to do with it, choose what kind of applications you think you will need. If you will use it as a digital agenda you can rip the camera application, the browser, any music application, social media application(s) etc. This post might be able to help you to determine which applications are safe to remove.

How you remove the applications can be done in different ways, you could use a file explorer with root, you could use ADB, you could modify a ROM (ie. delete the files you won't need) and then flash it. Either way I'd recommend you to make a either a full backup of your system (Nandroid) or backup the application itself before deleting it.

Note: when deleting an application, also write down the permissions the file had.

I hope I've helped you in some way!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximus1a:
this is clear but which files must stay on device. is it nesseary to have modem when i only use WLAN......

i´ll have a closer look into the link you provided.

filo... it`s short for filofax

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filofax
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B1nny:
Thank you for the link explaining what filo meant, I Googled "filo" and didn't get any useful results, so thanks!

Other than that, the modem itself is necessary, because it doesn't only control the GSM radio, but also the WLAN radio. You're better off leaving such things and use the phone in airplane mode I think. You basically should be able to remove any application you want, just make sure you leave a launcher there and framework-res.apk (so you'll be able to use the phone) and of course any other applications that are of good use to you. Then again, take a look at the link I provided as it explains what each application does, I know it's not for the Xperia Ray but I think most of the applications will match the ones on the Ray.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximus1a:
sure it´s not for my ray but arc and ray are so close you can use most arc roms without problems on ray. :highfive:

then i will disable in TB all i think i can kill and see what happens.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wirelessrevolution:
Thanks

I downloaded the software.

What do I do? There are so many options. I don't need to backup the apk because I can redownload it from the Play Store.

All i care about is my user data.

Can I flash my ROM without losing data?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sauprankul:
What do you mean by user data?

Pics music videos etc, basically anything in your SD card will be saved.

I think.

App data, you need to backup the whole app. That's how Ti backup works. You can't download the app form play store and apply your user data to it.

EDIT: just make a nandroid. Then backup whatever you need. If the restore fails, then you have something to fall back on.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wirelessrevolution:
Thanks but I have no idea what a nandroid is or how to do it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sauprankul:
Go to TWRP (personal favorite) or CWM.

Then, back up EVERYTHING.

Except media. But I'm not sure that's actually an option lol.

Oh yeah no need to back up the cache or the recovery either.

I believe CWM doesn't let you choose, you just hit back up and it backs up what it needs to.

Note: you can not selectively restore from a nandroid very easily. It is meant to be sort of a time machine, so if something screws up, you just restore your phone back to how it was.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phatcub:
Dirty vs Clean install

Yeah, TWRP lets you back up all your info. You can pick and choose and it lets you back up the current rom, so if you have issues you can go back to it. Copy that folder to a computer, because what you want to do is a dirty flash and might run into problems. It's best to flash by wiping clean and then replacing or you run into problems with the rom with some of the data.

Just my opinion.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluetint:
My advice would be to read a lot more about how nandroid backups work and about how backup apps like Titanium Backup work as well before trying anything.

That being said the above advice about doing a nandroid from recovery is a must, especially if you're new to the android world and aren't sure what you're doing. The nandroid is your fail-safe in case anything goes wrong. It will allow you to restore your phone back to exactly how it was when you did the backup.

As far as bringing the app data that you want into your newly flashed rom, this is what I do:

1. Have a rooted device

2. Download Titanium Backup (I bought the pro version, I think you need it to do batch backup/restore)

3. Batch backup all user apps (I also backup my call log and sms/mms messages)

4. Reboot device to recovery and perform a nandroid backup

5. Flash new rom

6. Wipe data/Factory reset

7. Reboot into new rom

8. After doing all the initial device setup (google account, etc.) install Titanium Backup and restore all missing apps NOTE: RESTORE ONLY THE APPS NOT THE DATA!

9. Now this is the part that I do that technically isn't recommended because restoring data can cause issues but it's the only way I've found to restore app data that otherwise can't be restored. Do a batch "restore all apps and data" but select "data only" and "deselect all" and go through and manually select only the apps you really need to restore the data (this can also be done manually through Titanium but I still use the batch function). Also I restore the call log and sms/mms at this step.

Hopefully this helps. Best advice I can give you though is before you do anything, make sure you understand all of the steps completely. I've lost everything too many times because I didn't know what I was doing.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sauprankul:
Question:

Why can't he restore apps and data together? I've anyways done that, and it's seemed to have worked for me. Maybe I just didn't notice any lost data?

Also. Restoring with the free version is a pita because you have to give it permission for every app individually.

Just saying.

And you do not need to wipe your media, but I recommend that you back it up.

Also: WOAH WOAH WOAH. Did you just tell the OP to flash a ROM, THEN wipe?

I'm pretty darn sure you should not do that.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluetint:
The reason I say not to restore data for every app is that not every app needs it's data restored to get everything back (i.e. Google Hangouts, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and I've always been warned that restoring data can cause issues. So my reasoning is the less I restore the better.

And I know using the free version of Titanium Backup is a PITA, that is why I said I use the paid version.

I never said to wipe media (I assume you mean the virtual sdcard) I said to wipe data/factory reset (the name of the option in CWM)

And there is nothing wrong with wiping after a flash. The wipe gets rid of user apps/data, anything installed with the rom is fine. If I'm mistaken, I apologize. However, I have never had an issue wiping after a flash.

If the OP doesn't want to follow my advice that's fine, I was simply describing what I've been doing on various devices for the last couple of years.
[Huawei Ideos X6] Free Radical:
This is probably my last rom for this trusty old phone.

I feel it is the culmination of the efforts of all the members of the great community of this phone and the developers from whose work I have learnt from especially [MENTION=4323560]CacingKalung[/MENTION], tjstyle, [MENTION=4948808]GUNDUL46[/MENTION], [MENTION=4228844]rcset[/MENTION].

Thank you for all your love and support!

I built this rom a few months back and have not found any reason to switch from it. It is MIUI 2.4.20 based on the 2.6.35 kernel so no need to downgrade using SUTLR if you are on any recent rom.

It includes all previous patches and fixes, a few different libraries from the Triumph forum and features like 2-way call recording, full throttle overclocking and voltage tweaking, support for MIUI control panel and is intended to be a "Final" rom.

It can outperform or atleast match basic dual core phones currently in the market as you can note by the Antutu score. This is on a Class 2 microsd on 1.7Ghz @ performance governor and runs stable 24x7 even at these clocks (been on it for several months). Can play moderately ram and graphics intensive games like Frontline Commando and Beach Buggy Blitz decently.

Hope you guys find it great as well.
