buzz has a universal now, people may remember he brought us all the memory hacks for wm3k5 on himalaya....

its only a matter of time, I believe in Buzz.

Buzz, can you format the extrom into working storage on Universal like you did on hima?

what vesion did you get Buzz, I guess you will do all your rom hacking on basic jasjar rom not xda or mda rom?

anyway, I'm not in a rush its such a great phone and Buzz deserves a rest and time to enjoy it too!

[General Questions and Answers] rhapsodyworld:
I have my Xperia Tablet Z rooted on 4.1.2, but I still have no confidence in upgrading it to .244 (4.2.2) as I am not sure the perfect rooting method.

I found a post here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45054582&postcount=95 in which somebody claims it works while some other say it doesn't.

I'm doubt.

Besides, the captioned post mention that -

once the SU apk is cut from data/app to system/app, the new upgrade will not delete the SU and hence the device is still being rooted

- if I didnot misunderstand.

Under this logic, my question is: How about I do the same thing (set SU as system app) before upgrade the device? will it be still rooted after upgrade??

Could anyone explain it?

Thank you.

Not necessarily just because the snap Dragon 800 supports it. The micro USB port actually has 11 pins. I am currently/unsuccessfully trying to figure out what they do. USB 3.0 only needs 10 pins. I made a rough sketch of the LG G2 micro USB Jack (attached). Pg 468 Of the service manual seems to confirm the port is USB 3.0 compatible, just on some strange proprietary connectors.

So I tried restoring from Titanium backup using the "All missing app and ALL system data" ... since I made the backup with TB, I figured I could restore like this .... big mistake, now it's stuck in an endless bootloop from logo -> animation -> back to logo.

Because I can't even boot into the phone, I'm unable to use flashtool since phone has to be one for the 1st step .. ? I tried bypassing that step and just waiting for the prompt to go into flash mode but phone doesn't seem to go into flashmode anymore or it's not working with flashtool ...

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderstorm654:
I sadly dropped my nexus 4 on hard tiles yesterday face down and the whole front cracked everywhere! The phone still turns on, I can copy internal storage off fine, but since the touchscreen doesn't work anymore I'm having trouble with getting system data off e.g. sms.

I've managed to get non touch CWM installed, made a nandroid, but now I can't copy the damn thing off! ADB gives me unauthorised for every command, and obviously I can't use the phone to authorise my PC. Am I now essentially screwed? Been googling for ages and can't find a way round the fact I can't use ADB or force my phone to authorise my PC without using the screen.

Any other ideas would be massively appreciated. The phone is rooted, CM10.2, and luckily usb debugging is enabled.

Cheers!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackergnome:
You said you can copy internal storage right? so why not pull the nandroid from /clockworkmod/backup?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
I do not use CWM, but I do use TWRP and it allow me to access to the /data and /sdcard partition just fine, /system is off limit though. I don't know where your nandroid is backed up in, but I assume its in /sdcard.

Try this: Flash TWRP in fastboot mode, then press the volume button either up or down twice, then press Power to access the recovery. Then on the main menu of TWRP, you can do adb commands right away.

I can then simply back up my whole /sdcard partition by: adb pull /sdcard/ C:\backup

Or backup the all the apps data: adb pull /data/data/ C:\backup
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderstorm654:
Thank you both for the advice. I've tried using adb in recovery, but it says: remote object '/sdcard' is not a file or directory.

If I type adb devices, I get my phone ID along with 'recovery' next to as expected.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

EDIT: Ignore this, just added a / after /sdcard and now its pulling ok. Thanks so much!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
I was typing this up before I read your edit:

If you don't know where certain files are, you can type "adb shell" to enter the phone itself, there you can look at the phone directory structure and find where your files are located.

Use the cd and ls commands to navigate in the phone: http://afrodita.rcub.bg.ac.rs/~ivica/nlm/part1/cd_ls.html

Once you're done, type "exit" to get out of adb shell. Then you can use the "adb pull" command to copy the files.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kyusaku:
Hi,

I have a Revone S-OFF, and TWRP 2.5.0.0 and just tried flashing to d3rpONE Milestone 2 ROM and then the phone started rebooting when it would load into the OS, so I loaded a backup in TWRP I did before the flash, and that is even giving me a reboot whenever I go into the OS, it will work for a minute then reboot. It looks as if the cell and wifi radios won't activate though. Any help would be appreciate.

I updated the firmwares without updating HBOOT and etc. Should I not have done that? Can i flash a 1.31 ROM instead of trying to RUU? When I tried to it said my ROM version was 1.31 which is not the case, I never did a system update.

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] MrFixit007:
What rom did you install before d3rpone?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rlsl88:
Same problem!

I've been trying to solve this same issue for two days now. I can install custom roms, but they all reboot when I get into the OS and the radios don't work (no service).

I started on OTA 4.2.2. I'm not sure the first rom I tried was meant for the HTC One M7spr. It was called Android_Revolution_HD-One_20.1.

I tried a few other ones that I could get to work either (like InsertCoin). Eventually, I was able to boot up to a 'stock' like one. That's when the reboots and the new service issue began. Same issue with the Rootbox and Avatar roms as well.

I'm using TWRP to sideload all of these different roms.

Any ideas?

You do not have to go s-off. I didn't. All you need to do once you are back at stock is unlock again and then flash recovery again. then you are ready to flash a CDMA rom. MAKE SURE you only get roms from THIS SPRINT HTC ONE forums.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rlsl88:
Ok, that's good to know. Yea, I won't be making that mistake of using the wrong rom again. I've learned a lot in the last few days.

Can you explain why some roms require S-OFF?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] MrFixit007:
My understanding is that the only reason a rom would require s-off would be because of a radio change, however it is not common to do that at this point from what i understand. I have not seen any HTC One roms that require s-off at this point. Requiring s-off is a relic from days of the OG EVO from what I understand. There are several good links that explain the meaning and nature behind s-off. Look here at Q9.

1-Pass is a nice application that allows you to lock your device and be able to enter it either by using preset hardware key combinations or a numaric password.

I have used this back with rom 1.06 and like it.

It seems that it conflicts with the built in appliacton password found under

Start -> settings -> Password

They both seem to use the same space as when you configure I-Pass for a password you also set the Password application.

Thus after a reboot or sleep mode you are confronted with the Password application screen and can not use the I-pass screen. Hardware keys that you set can not be used. (thus you need to finger around and enter the numeric password.

Download mode can be achieved by first

power off your device

Try a combo of power and one of the volume buttons

When the buttons light up keep holding till you see a yellow triangle

From there plug into your PC

Then attempt to "flash" back to a working ROM with your PC

For my device(s) download mode is found by using the #1 button on the hard keyboard and the power button at the same time (epic 4G) and for my (my touch 3G) other device it can be found by pressing volume up and the power button.

For your device try the following Google search, just replace the bit between the "<>" with the name of your device and it should pull up a solution by page two of the Google search

"how to"+"download mode"+<name-of-device> similar:XDA

oh and the issue you're having is called a "boot loop" and is usually fixable by going back to stock and re-rooting after.
