[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] vijay555:
Quite a number of effective posts on this subject elsewhere. Try searching against my name for what I've got installed.

Essential:

backup software

bigstorage rom hack (gives you an extra 20mb of memory free)

1gb sd card!

sd card reader/writer

Cabinst

Then install lots of software. Always install all software to storage or storage card.

Soft reset is like restarting your pc.

Hard reset (hold down power and the little reset button at the bottom of the phone) will be like reformating your entire ppc. Only do this if you absolutely must. But backup often.

Install a task killer - try wisbar for a popular option. But it slows down your system. I use SmallMenu Plus.

For freeware check out this site: http://www.freecabs.de/

For many useful tips get "Spb Tips & Tricks". Don't spend much money on it if you have to, but it is useful.

Bigstorage is not for the feint hearted, but follow the instructions carefully and word for word and it'll work. It's best to do this before installing a ton of stuff, because it forces you to hard reset the phone; so BACKUP!

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Belgarion:
Hum... and this big storage rom hack... should you do this before or after udating to a new rom (and i got a 512 SD Card... isn´t that bad either, hu?)

And which backup Software/Card Reader/Writer would you recommend.

And Sorry, but the search won´t function, so could you just show me some of those Topics/Posts of yours?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tip2tail:
Hi all,

I installed Androd Revolution HD Google Edition the other day. Quite liked it - had a nice fast feel etc, but got to the stage now that I want my Sense UI back!

Unfortunately while messing around I used the "Encrypt Phone" option. From reading the help info it popped up before doing this it seemed that a Factory Reset would be suffice to restore the device to unencrypted state - of course this would wipe all my data but I'm going to a new ROM so thats not a big issue at all.

I have since tried the "Factory Reset" option in the phone settings - the phone restarts but is still encrypted and no data has been deleted.

I then tried "Clear data" in CWM Recovery - cannot mount /data or the /sdcard devices.

Finally I tried the "Factory Reset" option on the bootloader. This just took me into CWM Recovery!

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Flash the stock RUU for your device. It'll send you all the way back to full stock. Full stock as in the day you took the device out of the box. You can proceed from there by installing a custom recovery, installing an updated ROM, etc. But first restore to stock using your device's original RUU.

I use TWRP and there is an option to completely re-format the device in recovery. You have to type in "yes" before it will do it because it will leave your phone completely erased. Then you have to side load a rom - I use hasoon all in one tool kit for doing this (side-load) when I want to clear all the crap from my device.

Make sure you read up on doing this first because as I said - it will leave your device with nothing except recovery!

[Asus Transformer TF700] Nahakiole:
Hey everybody.

EDIT: Thanks to berndblb and all the others who replied, it works again like a charm.

I just got my Asus Transformer back from RMA because it wouldn't latch with the dock anymore.

Now I'm getting random reboots when the tablet boots up. Sometimes it makes it to the lockscreen, but in this case it freezes immediately.

I now tried reinstalling CM 10.0 and 10.1.2 after wipping all the data from the Tablet.

I then tried installing the cleanrom with the data2sdcard fix, but I have now the same problem as before.

Additional Infos:

Recovery: TWRP 2.5.0.0

Rom at the moment: CleanROM Inheritance 3.4.7 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2049274

Data2SD http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1962507

Bootloader: 10.4.4.25-20131228

If you have any questions or need more logfiles don't hesitate to ask. Somehow I can't get logcat to work before it shutdowns, so I can only provide log which are stored on the filesystem. (I can access the shell within the recovery and push and pull files).

Thanks in advance for your help and for your time in which you read this text. :)

Maybe an old bootloader? Check the version displayed in the bootloader menu.

You can try to remove the External SD card and reboot without it. Please report back so we all know what is happening, thanks..

[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
"Wiping all your data" means exactly what? Have you done a factory reset in TWRP? If yes, try formating your data partition.

Plus, you are trying to install an outdated rom that is no longer supported.

sbdags has moved on to CROMi-X, the JB 4.2.1 based rom for this tablet. Look for the thread in the development section.

Flash the bootloader/TWRP package from the first post, boot back into your old rom.

Then do a factory reset in TWRP which will wipe your data partition and flash the latest CROMi-X rom.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nahakiole:
I'll try that. I wasn't sure if the newer Version supported the Data2SD Mod so I tried installing the older Version.

But I see now that it's supported.

[MENTION=5313285]LetMeKnow[/MENTION]

As I'm using the Data2SD Mod, I get the error message "Encryption unsuccessful".

Which means it's really installed on the SD-Card.

I also am able to start it up to the setup process, but before I can finish the setup, the tablet randomly reboots.

2. Enable expand desktop within secure settings options for custom roms

3. Launch tasker, create a state under "display" for screen orientation, landscape

4. Create an action under "plugin" secure settings for expanded desktop on (press the edit dropdown to select the expanded desktop options)

Hello guys. Long time lurker first time poster. Tried the search but can't seem to find the relevant info.

My wife is now using an XDA Mini and there's one thing that really bugs her.

When her phone goes on standby and she gets a call, the phone app activates. However, it gets stuck here and the top window bar only displays the "Password" label on the upper left-hand. No other button is available even the "Ok" label is not visible.

All the other app that can be access from the phone app is available but no way out of this screen to get to the password screen. She has to take out the batt or do a soft reset.

Her current ROM isn't the 1.12 (?) version and our WinME PC prevents us from doing an upgrade.

Has this been addressed in the updated ROM? Or is there another way out of the stuck phone app?

Appreciate the help. Thanks.

Hi mc_oliver,

this seems to be a bug on our devices. Using an app switcher (like PocketNav, TaskMaster, or others - see here) might help you to get the password-screen back to the top, so that you'll be able to enter the password.

Hey fellow GNex'ers!

I'm currently running CM10.2 on my Sprint GNex. I just pulled my phone off the charger, set it in my car, drove home from work (for lunch), then back to work. Once I got to work (hadn't even turned the screen on since I unplugged it), I checked the battery: 88%. Now, not even 70 minutes later it's reading 82%, a loss of 6% with no texts, no screen on, no notifications, and my 3g is 3 bars, which is pretty good for where I am (and the fact that there are no notifications / data usage).

Can anyone explain what it could be killing my battery? I'll post the betterbattstats screens later (when I get back out to my car), but for the rest of the afternoon I'm going to leave it there so I can get a better idea of what's killing the battery. I'm so sick of my battery draining when I'm not even touching it!

My wife's GNex did practically the same thing this morning. Her phone died in about 5 hours, but she turned the phone off about an hour after turning it on... She's running stock 4.1.2

Edit: Lost 2% in 11 minutes, so we'll round it up to 1% per 6 minutes right now...

I do have LTE in my area, but I've noticed LTE takes up even more power than 3g. However, my work is at an Army post, and since the towers aren't located on the post itself, it's kind of rare for me to have a solid LTE signal. I don't make any attempts to change the way Android decides which to use though, because I find that it's fairly intelligent about switching from LTE to 3g when LTE gets low, and vice-versa.

You Have Surely Didn't Follow the instructions of the rom you were flashing as you bricked it

You should be on Stock Rom before flashing any customs roms

You should see yourself which rom suits you in development section

You Can Flash any Odin Package For it

IF you Want for your region only you should search on google or XDA

Btw i am from India but i am using australian odin package Just for baseband firmware as XXLA2 is prefered for flashing rom

as per my knowledge
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChelebiTech:
You can check Sams Firmware site to find the right one for your country. When i looked recently nearly all countries have latest update of firmwares. When you have firmware you can use unbrick tutorial in dev or general section to revert back to stock. Thats what the service guys do to your phone. Use the latest firmware available to your country. And happy flashing of roms in dev section but carefully read instructions as every one of them need different flashing sometimes.
