[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] TimeTurn:
Some note to those, who use this under Windows Vista x64: the command used by the batch file, choice64, is not compatible with Vista x64. The script ignores the error and starts with SuperSU selection. Choice32 does not work as well, I suggest replacing choice64 with set /p.

But anyway, this is a great tool, even with unlocked bootloaders, it's the easiest way to get a custom recovery installed on Firmware 257.

Flash? What are you talking about? I'm not flashing anything. That's very dangerous, young man! Nah, i'm waiting for Kit Kat! :laugh:

LOL, i'm afraid that once i flash a new ROM it'll be AOSP 4.4 :p But i might flash your freshly baked ROM if i'm going back to a Sony ROM. Keep up the great work buddy!

Why when I extract it there only run.bat file? How to install? I have supersu installed..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I know, the guide is a little dated i believe. Just run "run.bat" and it'll open CMD and then choose "SuperSU". That's about the only thing you'll have to do :)

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] tansoftware:
As a result of a car accident I lost the ability to connect my Himalaya using the USB cradle. The data port on the phones board was completely smashed. I had it repaired only to allow my xdaII to recharge from it's power adapter but not from the cradle, that's how I lost all usb functionality.

Now I've previously read some methods and instructions on how to upgrade the xdaII using some modified rom files which are then stored on a SD-Card and then installed from the bootloader without the use of a USB connection.

Can anyone here tell me exactly how this is done ? What are the steps needed to convert the available rom files on this site to a format that would work from the sd-card ? I would also like to know, whether this method supports upgrading the radio and the extended rom in addition to the windows rom ?

Your help and assistance on this matter will be highly appreciated. As I can no longer upgrade my phone using the usb method. I will be depending on your help you guys. I've got faith in u, so don't let me down.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] webboyxp:
I also want to know it! Please help!!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] aabarakat:
Find another xda2 that has a working USB connection, insert your SD card in it, and use the attached file to copy the rom to your sd card. Then place the sd card in your xda2 go to boot loader mode and that is it.

The only problem is that whenever you want to change the rom version you will have to use another xda2 that has a working usb to transfere the rom image on your sd card.

My wife got HTC One a month ago.. After updating to the 4.2 official firmware update, the standby time decreased severly. barely 15 hours.

However on Android 4.1 the standby was 2+ days.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bascotie:
Hi guys,

I just signed up with a phone plan with a company called TextNow. They basically allocate you an amount of data at a cheap price to make calls, texts, etc. They use Sprint phones and towers when you're not on a WiFi network.

The model of the phone is sph-d710. I'm wondering if anyone has been able to root this TextNow phone and still got the TextNow service on the phone to work? Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bascotie:
So textnow got back to me saying it should be fine to flash your SPH-D710 as long as you install the apk from

Textnow APK

I did make sure to ask them again to reiterate "Will calls still work over the sprint data network?" and they confirmed that it would. Hope to give it a shot soon!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zachman:
Any updates? I just purchased one of these.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bascotie:
Yup, following up on my second post.. you can root and custom rom but you need to reinstall the apk shown in the second post. I found it to work best with a 4.1 version rom, because 4.2+ I would just get textnot app crashes all the time.

It works fine now except checking voicemail from the textnow app causes it to crash. But no big deal since you can check it online
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zachman:
Thanks for the update. I'll have to give this a try this weekend.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knicks20828:
Quick question, Is there a way to go backwards from here?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bascotie:
I don't see why not, I haven't tested it but these are already Sprint phones. TextNow just functions via the app which you can always uninstall :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _delice_doluca_:
Hi,

I have just noticed something and wanted to learn a few things.

It is possible to wipe /preload partition on CWM recoveries but not possible in TWRP ones. Still when wiped, the next CM or PA installation fails with the SIM card. However when I check this partition with a file manager it only shows what would be loaded on my internal memory IF I had a stock Samsung ROM. It contains the Samsung and S Note folders with some noting samples and the 10 pitcures and World of Wonders video..

What are they doing there and are they taking my phones user memory? Or why am I not having a healty ROM installation when I wipe that partition? Why is this partition there for actually? And last, why do I not get those folders sometimes after a clean Stock ROM installation?

Thanks..

P.S. I know there is a topic about it but it does not answer why my installation fails after wiping that partition and the question after that..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitrous²:
You've answered your question about the partitions purpose.

Can't replicate your case. I've wiped preload several times and never had any issues after, whether installing a stock ROM or AOSP one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] 305rob305:
I just got a Galaxy s4 and I've noticed that LTE drops when I'm speaking to someone and when I'm finished speaking it comes back. Is this normal or do I have something in the settings? My Galaxy s3 didn't do that...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Antitryptic:
During calls, I'm assuming you drop down to 4G/HSPA or 3G? That is normal. LTE goes away because voice calls don't run over VoLTE (Voice over LTE) yet. I don't think you noticed it with your Galaxy S3, but it probably dropped LTE as well. Don't worry about it though; I was worried about it at first too. That isn't a problem with your device. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] E3SYLER:
You are correct in a way. The LTE is your data (for now) you will notice a drop in data speed when your on a call and surfing the web at the same time but yes it is normal chances are you won't be doing both at the same time a lot so you won't have anything to worry about.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Valynor:
My new N7 (2013) doesn't play the "touch sounds" consistently, they're missing in about ~10% of all touches that would usually play the sound. The touch itself is registered, e.g. an app will open or the home button will go to home, just without the sound.

I just noticed that this seems to be connected to the loudness, it doesn't happen in the top 3 volume settings. On my device it starts with the media volume set to "4 clicks down from max" and below.

Speakers seem to function fine otherwise.

Anyone who can confirm this?

EDIT: A good way to reproduce this bug: set volume to 50%, tap a folder icon (opening a folder should trigger a touch sound), close folder - wait about 5 seconds before the next tap.

Doing the same procedure very fast plays the touch sound every time. Weird! If no one else can confirm this, I guess I'll have to send it back. :-|
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Kookas:
I can't reproduce it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] spackmanbr:
I am experiencing the exact same issue, and can reproduce it consistently. Happens on both JSS15Q and JSS15R. This is a warranty replacement that just arrived a couple of days ago.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hgpot:
I recently installed a new version of my Cyanognemod, requiring me to flash a new ROM and wipe my data. No biggie.

When flashing, I set to make a backup. But now, I want to see if I can get the pictures taken with the camera (DCIM folder) from the backup. I assume that that is in there, but I don't want to restore completely because it would be my old version of Android/Cyanogenmod. I can see the files data there in my file manager, but it's all in .tar files.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] d3athsd00r:
CWM doesn't backup that portion of your SDCARD. You probably have a 0 folder on your internal. Check there for the DCIM folder.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CauselessEffect:
I have also been trying to find a utility which can accomplish this. There are apps out there which allow you to use your Android device as a PC speaker, but all the ones I have found only work over Wifi. In my experience, there is far too much lag over Wifi. Does anyone know of an app which outputs PC audio to Android via USB?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
The easiest way would be to use the headphone/speaker output on the computer and connect it to the mic input on your phone's headphone jack. Then have an app that plays the mic input in real time. The downside to this is it would only be mono but most phones only have one speaker anyways. If you wanted stereo you could probably use a USB sound card connected via OTG provided you have drivers for it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CauselessEffect:
Thanks, that's actually a decent solution. I'd have to do some digging to find a male-to-male mic cable though. It's just too bad we can't take advantage of the micro-USB cables we all have these days. Unfortunately, I do not have a sound card with a USB output and would prefer to not have to buy additional hardware. Ideally, I'd like to use this at work, so adding hardware is not really an option (the same reason IP audio streaming apps would not work). It would be great to have my phone double as a portable speaker. I'm not an expert on Android development, but it doesn't seem like there would be many technical hurdles to streaming audio over USB...

I appreciate your suggestion though, I may end up having to resort to the mic input solution.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BelowAverage355:
I've been hunting for an answer to this semi-simple question everywhere, and have found about 4 answers (all different ones - somehow :silly: ) So I'll try asking here.... I'm going to study abroad in Spain this semester, and I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 from Verizon (it was an upgrade contract, not full price). When I asked the sales rep he said that the SIM card would have to be unlocked. However, when I talked to Verizon "technical support" they said, no, they're already unlocked and ready for international use. What I've seen in other forums is that people say it seemingly takes SIM cards but won't pick the network up. Does anybody here have experience with the Verizon S4 being used internationally? Can it be done? Do I need to unlock it? Thanks for any insights!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsam55:
As a Verizon phone uses a CDMA signal, I don't think it is going to work anywhere in Europe where they use GSM signals. Sorry.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BelowAverage355:
The S4 is equipped with a GSM radio, I checked on that much at least.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BelowAverage355:
Yes

I went ahead and just bit the bullet and bought a SIM card here, and good news: it works :good:

HOWEVER, I believe the problem that others who tried to use it globally were having is that it defaults to Global mode, which doesn't really seem to work (No clue what Global mode is, but I got a signal with no data connection). For anyone who wants to use it internationally, you will have to manually switch to GSM/UMTS by going to Settings>Connections>More networks>Mobile networks>Network mode>GSM/UMTS

[HTC Rezound] xXezmacXx:
I created a similar thread the other day but it got so overwhelming and it was just confusing me more so I deleted it. I'm starting a fresh one so I can maybe explain myself better, not confuse anyone else and get better answers.

I just got a replacement Rezound in the mail today. My phone is currently on 4.05.605.14 710RD, LOCKED, HBOOT is 2.28.0000 & radios are 2.23.10.0123r/2.23.10.0124r.

That last time I was able to S-OFF I used the wire method and ControlBear for Windows. I went to the website Unlimited.IO and they no longer support Windows so I have no idea on how to S-OFF since I did it months ago. However, I did find ControlBear v0.1 for Windows here on the forums: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27764982&postcount=2079 My first question is will this version work for me? If you download it and open it you can see the zips contents. I wasn't sure If had to RUU back down to an earlier version for it to work? And last time I ended up being on a Juopunutbear HBOOT somehow.

So basically I want to be able to get back onto CyanogenMod 10.1 properly this time. I haven't done anything to my phone yet, still unrooted, on stock, etc.. I know my first step is too unlock it using the htcdev website but from there I'm confused, I can't remember the steps its been too long.

I need someone to please explain how I can get back to CM 10.1 and remain on the latest firmware/drivers/hboot etc. So I need help with rooting, s-off, how to get TWRP recovery back on, which to do first, etc.

I appreciate the help and I'll make sure I save this in case it ever happens again. Also, my apologies again for the previous thread, it was just too much going on, I just need simple steps.
[HTC Rezound] xanda143:
Am not positive but i think u will need Ubuntu as that one wont work on the new 2.28 hboot. So lets start with u installing ubuntu on a drive or live cd
[HTC Rezound] xXezmacXx:
ControlBear 0.1 worked for me on Windows, took a few tries but it finally pulled through. These where my steps:

1. unlocked

2. flashed recovery

3. flashed [ROM] OTA-Global-Stock-4.05.605.14 710RD-Rooted 5/1/13

4. flashed boot.img from the rom

5. did wired trick with CB 0.1

so i think im good now? just have a couple questions.

- my phone now says tampered/locked/s-off? last time i s-off it didnt have that tamper there, is this normal?

- im still on hboot 2.28.0000 & radio 2.23.10.0123r/2.23.10.0124r. is this latest hboot/firmware/radio?

- im still on that rom that i linked above. im good to go ahead and flash and jb rom now?

- last, is there anything else i need to do with my phone? fixing the mainver, etc.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
That's normal if you're still using an unpatched hboot. If you will still use some fastboot commands (I use fastboot boot zImage/fastboot flash zimage zImage alot) then look into vynlfreak's 2.27 patched hboot. DO NOT UNLOCK flash patched hboot instead.

Flash your rom and don't worry about mainver. :)
[HTC Rezound] chugga31:
Just wanted to thank you two. I have always been hesitant about s-offing my phone. But seeing it here in a few simple steps gave me the courage to finally pull the trigger. I know I am super late to the S-Off party, but am thrilled to finally have arrived!

Im new to this phone so i need some help with an issue if possible, i unlocked bootloader,installed cwm, and then flashed Google play Edition for HTC one ,afterwards i wiped data and cache and then restored stock rom ,current version 4.2.2 more info photo #2. A new update for the software came up and i chose to download.When i tried to install it the phone goes to recovery mode and some info appears on the screen (photo) ,when i restart my phone there is a message saying update was corrupted and then he tries to download/install again.Can some1 explain me what i have to do in order to update my device properly?

I don think you can install an OTA from a custom recovery. You need the stock recovery

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgtiii:
Well, your 2nd screenshot says HTC Europe 2.24.401 release, so I assume so
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degothia:
Yes you are right i think, but one thing u dont understand , this rom is the stock rom which i restore after a little test with the Google Edition rom , why in my original rom shows something that i can not update?How is that possible?Because i bought it 2nd hand , is possible the last owner could flash another rom , not exactly original stock rom ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTIT:
The OTA update needs 3 things in order to be successful

1) Stock ROM

2) Stock Recovery

3) APPS that are lost during unlocking the bootloader

you currently have the stock ROM, so you should also flash the stock recovery and the missing apps.

I have included both links for you. First, unzip the apps file and copy the APK's to your phone and install all of them, then go into fasboot and flash the stock recovery and then you can do the OTA update. And if you dont know how to flash the recovery you can find it somewhere around here on the forums!

Here is the link for the missing apps https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzXWB5B2uUs7R2hjQnN3NFFNNVk/edit

This is the link for the recovery http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTIT:
Yes if you are currently rooted, you will still be rooted afterwards and after the update finishes you can reflash TWRP or CWM and everything will be back to where you are now!

I actually didn't try any call blocking apps, maybe ill try this one!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degothia:
