AndroidNoob69's XDA guide - What TO DO and NOT TO DO here

​

Hi guys, especially people who have just joined the forum

READ the forum rules or is it TOO LONG??

Having PROBLEMS understanding??

Still UNSURE??

Fear not :) I am here to teach you what TO DO and NOT TO DO on XDA

TO DO

1. Post in the right forum.

Many people who have questions, may end up posting in 'General' rather than 'Q&A'

This is what the forums are for

General: e.g. Android Upgrading news, rooting updates, and other discussions.

Q&A: Bricked your device? Need advice? Come here and ask!

Development: Rooting Kits, Recoveries, ROMs

Apps & Themes: Mods, Apps, Shares, Ports and Themes

2. Be polite. Provide adequate info when asking a question. Do NOT swear.

3. Search the forum when posting. Do not create duplicate threads when your question is not answered.

Searching before posting is important. It helps XDA to fight spam. When your question is NOT answered, DO NOT create another thread. You can 'bump' your thread once every 24 hours.

4. Spamming port request in a thread that is meant for jb and OP says (JB) Just ONE person kindly ask the OP if he can port for example, ICS. If he says 'no' then, you got to wait for a developer to port it for you.

What

NOT TO DO

1. Post Cracks, Free In-App purchasers etc.

If you REALLY want to share cracks, DO NOT SHARE IT ON XDA. It is cheating the community. If I have cracks, I would decide not to announce it to the whole XDA "Hey! I got *fill in with app name* for free! Link: donotclick.com/freeapps/appid-8459"

2. Be racist, insult others etc.

XDA is NOT for racism. I am sure everyone wants to have a good time here relaxing, helping others. You would not like it if you are insulted too, right?

3. TRY NOT to quote the whole OP as it might be spam to others.

Yes, you want the OP to know you replied, but try MENTIONING (like [MENTION=2902434]Pandemic[/MENTION] does). If you are using tapatalk and cant remember the user's username. Forget it. Just post a normal reply.

4. Mirror a file when OP says do not mirror my files.

This is a problem when the OP does not have a mirror and the app/mod download link is dead. Kindly tell the OP that its dead. He will solve it. In other words, DI NOT MIRROR without permission.

ADDED BY [MENTION=4681015]Ben36[/MENTION]

5. Don't make annoying 'noob' threads

ADDED BY [MENTION=2902434]Pandemic[/MENTION]

6: dont post threads with 1 simple question if the answer is already there

7: read before post and if you cant find it, use google

8: dont act as a noob if you can read and dont ask 1000 times the same questions

THIS IS ALL THE BASIC INFORMATION YOU NEED, HAVE FUN ;)

AndroidNoob69

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] IronCatalyst:
thanks for the guide

even though someone said there is another thread with same or better one, this thread come up in the right place and i dont have to waste to search simple thread such as guide.

anyway for suggestion if you would mine to take one. put another thing like jargon. since its noob room. so noob question should be in here too. ;)

How to backup ROM and OS

Thank you....

I have successfully rooted my byond b51.

now I want to uninstall some preinstalled apps but before I proceed I want to Backup ROM and OS.

Please tell me How to backup the ROM so I can recover my phone to current state and settings if the phone is bricked.

please help me.
[General Questions and Answers] @niket:
I'm extremely sorry but I cant help you with backing up ROMs n etc bcz I really dont know anything about the same

you can take help other members, above mentioned threads &/or other threads for reference :)

imho, if u just want to uninstall apps then link2sd application is enough to manage ur storage. with it u can integrate updated apps into system , make third party to system app & free up space on internal memory.

use uninstall master to uninstall system apps it has a feature to back-up the app being uninstalled, so that in case if u find system getting unstable after uninstalling app, u can restore it

IMPORTANT NOTE

just take decisions on installing system apps cleverly.

if u wanna replace only system app for a specific task then first integrate third party app into system & then uninstall system app after confirming that system is stable (eg. stock android keyboard after uninstalling other two third party system keyboards)

I've already uninstalled many pre-installed apps & also some of system apps replaced by third party apps for lower ram consumption &/or better user experience

also with free up space in ROM, I made some of third party essential apps to system apps to free up internal memory (right now 70MB free)

eg. replaced system launcher with ADW & using android kitkat theme package with it, made both of them system apps so that i dnt need to set the theme every time i restart phone

also replaced stock keyboard with google hindi input keyboard as system app(bcz stock keyboard wasnt accurate to touch responses & with google keyboard, u can type in hindi & marathi)

replaced tiny torchlight with a third party torch app as system app(size just few KBs) bcz i wanted only torch, not additional features.

also now M-indicator, whatsapp, link2sd, app saver, gmail etc are system apps.

tc

have a great day :)

sir my mobile beyond b51+ keeps restarting again and again can you plz tell me how to fix it or how to open mobile in safe mode.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miapuffia:
Ok so one day my phone is all nice and dandy, rooted as a tree, and then I go to Advence Freeze an app, and Rom Toolbox Pro tells me I no longer have root access. So I go into Titanium backup and it says the same thing. For total verification, I go to Terminal Emulator, and the "su" command gives me a "not granted" response. So while I had root yesterday, for some reason I don't have it today. The thing I'm worried about most is that I did absolutely nothing in the meantime. The phone hadn't restarted in 3 days so that wasn't it. And all I did before it unrooted itself iis use the Inkpad Notepad app, and the Boat Browser app. I didn't touch a single thing that could possibly mess something up. Root hasn't always been very "observable" on my phone. After about a week after rooting it, Superuser stopped asking me if I wanted to allow or deny new apps. But all my root apps still worked. I run no special rom, just stock 4.1.2. I have SafeStrap Bootloader installed for backups as well. I downloaded Motochopper to try to reroot my phone just a few minutes ago and the exploit ran flawlessly. No errors whatsoever. When it booted up, still no root access. To be more specific, Voodoo OTA Root Keeper tells me the device is rooted, but without root access. I also have a root backup made with that program. Can someone please tell me how to fix this because the thought of a "normal" phone is making me depressed :crying:.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
Try updating your SU and see if that does anything.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miapuffia:
The only way I could think of doing that is from the superuser app (if you mean update the binaries) and I already tried. It fails at "gettingroot access".
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
Yeah, that's what I meant. Hmmm...
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miapuffia:
Perhaps I could backup my data using SafeStrap TWRP, download stock rooted 4.3 (which I wanted since it came out), install it to rom slot 2 using SafeStrap, and then restore my data! Where's my nobel prize? lol Would that work?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
There is no stock 4.3 ROM for us. The highest stock version would be 4.1.2. You can get CM10.2 that is vanilla AOSP, but I don't know if it would boot on SS.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miapuffia:
I see. That's why my rooted 4.3 search came up.blank. I don't mind trying CM. I tried to SS install it previously but it failed (kinda). But now that I think about it I definitely installed the wrong version. As long as I can restore my data to CM I don't mind trying it. Can I get 4.1.2, root it, and then restore data? But wait, I know my bro has 4.3 rooted he used temp unroot -> update -> restore root. Can I do that? In case you didn't notice I'm new to this :/

Hope I am not repeating the same question.

I've got gt-n7102i several days ago and looked for how to root it. (want to use play store, market unlocker etc).

There are some tutorials regarding n7102 but not for n7102i.

As I know, n7102i is a variant version of n7102 but I am not quite sure that if I can apply the same way of n7102.

Please help me if anyone of you knows about it.
[HTC One X] Alaek12:
Hi guys !

I just updated my hox to 4.2 original rom .

After 2 days, my phone shut down.And now when i try to turn it on it doesn't do anything.

I have not rooted the phone.It's all original.

Olso when i tried the first time to turn it on after it shut down, i got errors like " Unfortunatly gapps , email , etc has turned off." Alot of similar errors.

what can i do guys ?

thanks !
[HTC One X] desmond1303:
if you don't mind loosing some stuff, since you are all stock and unmodified you best bet would be a factory reset...

You can do that in settings > backup and reset

or

if you can't turn it on go into bootloader by holding power and volume down and using the volume buttons to navigate and power button to select choose factory reset
[HTC One X] Alaek12:
i did that , dunno for sure if it reset.But now i can't turn the phone on at all.And the red light when it's on charge doesn't turn on now.And i can't turn the phone on at all.not even with the power and volume key.

I am a bit worried because it's a new phone and not rooted or anything.Have no ideea what went wrong.

PS: I'm not a noob when it comes to android.I had some other phone which i rooted changed kernels and etc , used RUT and so on.But no ideea what to do now.
[HTC One X] Alaek12:
after charging it 20mins it turned on but it's blocked at HTC one logo .and under i have the beataudio logo.

Any help please ?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Return for warranty
[HTC One X] Alaek12:
no more warranty ...
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Then unlock it and flash a custom rom, best chance in fixing it.
[HTC One X] desmond1303:
Then unlock the bootloader and wipe everything with a custom recovery...

If that doesn't help, try a custom rom, but be sure to first check if a data wipe as well as a wipe of cache and dalvik cache helps.

And no mater what make a nanroid of the stock rom.
[HTC One X] Alaek12:
Now the phone doesn't start at all . . . neither is the red light on when i try to charge it . i've been chargin it for ~2hours now...
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Any luck at booting the phone ?
[HTC One X] Alaek12:
still no luck on turning it on first ,hah..

I have no ideea what else to do , tried volup+power , tried power for more than 1minute , tried power and pluggin in outlet , tried htc sync manager and power and without power , and waiting with htc syn . power + volup +voldown .

Next i will leave it overnight on outlet . . .

Any other ideea anyone ?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Nope, leave it on charge and hope for the best
[HTC One X] Alaek12:
charged it all night.nothing in this morning.

no red light no nothing...

It just won't start in any way.
[HTC One X] Alaek12:
Olso , could this be because maybe , just maybe , i did not install the official update corectly ?

Could this happen because of that ?

I went to a service and they told me they must "rewrite the boot" . can't find anything about that `tho.

I'm from another country and i exactly translated that they said.

what does that mean ?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Could mean all sorts of things, they may flash the bootloader or only the boot.img (kernel) maybe they run a ruu.......can only guess on that.

Did they say something about battery failure and costs ?
[HTC One X] Alaek12:
they said it has nothing to do with the battery .that is fine.

they just said they must "rewrite the boot" and will take 2-3 days to be done.Olso some other it guy said it takes like 24-48 hours to be done.
[HTC One X] J_Dutch:
I didn't see the option power button+voldown, if I'm not mistaking that is the way to get into fastboot.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Yeah at this point he needs to get somewhere in the phone. Or in android or in bootloader/recovery !

It doesn't start at all. Apart from the keep it on charge and try all button combinations there is absolutely nothing we can do.
[HTC One X] Alaek12:
They fixed it for like 25$ .

They said "The door to enter android was closed." thats all , didn't want to say more.

thanks guys anyway !
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Pff nice it's fixed at least.

I use a Nokia N7 as a wifi hotspot for my nexus7.

It is an application called Joiku spot.

But every time I launch a hot spot, my nexus 7 will scan it and become frozen.

I can see the page of WIFI but nothing in it.

No available wifi name is in it.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] player911:
Probably meant Nokia E7. I don't know why it would be locking up. Is the tablet locking up or the WiFi list?

The best solution would be to simply slam the Nokia in the trash and update that brick.

I would test to make sure the N7 isn't locking up with all tethered wifis or just your Nokia's. I tether mine with my Galaxy Nexus all the time.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cassinni:
Hi,

i am new and i have a few questions. I got a Tab 3 7.0 (Wifi) 4.1.2 with custom cwm recovery and rooted.anything else is stock.

I twice made a complete backup with titanium backup pro and once with cwm in recovery.

1.The tab changes my time +2 h by itself. Where can i change that or is that a bug?

2. i was offered an ota by samsung and i accepted, it registered my device and said my software has been modified and i cannot ota update.

How can i update then?

3. did i do a mistake by letting them register my device?

Maybe if a flash counter reset comes it wont help me cos now they know i flashed something and i lost my warrantY?

4. how does an official os update influence my software modifications (root, custom recovery etc)?

5. how do i switch between running apps?

6. how do i group mymenu apps into folders? I can create a folder in menu but when i try to drag an app into it i can only drag it to homescreen.

7. which website has a top 100 best android apps always current and considers also root only apps?

8.how do i setup navigon navigation thru voice control?

9.how do i stop the notification craziness on the top left corner of my screen?

I dont want any commercials there or update nots. It should silently keep my apps updated.?

10. How do i move my apps to my sd card? I have titanium backup pro 6.10 but it doesnt show in the settings.

i watched videos of people doing it but my settings do not offer the same as theirs? Do i need a bootstrap or something else except the custom recovery and root to get that feature?

Sorry for so many questions i just left ios.. Thanks a lot

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbking61:
Hi there,

a few weeks ago my Galaxy S3 has become unstable. It started after the flash of a CM10.2 nightly. Until that I have flashed several dozen nightlies and never had problems. Now I have hangups and spontaneous reboots every day.

Mobile: Galaxy S3 I9300

Currently installed: CM 10.1.3

TWRP 2.6.3.0

What I have done: several nightlies of CM flashed with full wipe / factory reset and format of all file systems including the internal SD card, fix permissions. Also restore from different TWRP backups performed. Then restored all the apps with Titanium Backup (without data).

Thank you in advance
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sriram231092:
tried changing the kernel?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbking61:
No, normally I flash the original kernels of CM or Temasek.

IMEI has been restored with Titanium. Anyway if you only flash the fresh nightly the IMEI dosn't change. In the beginning I didn't need to make full wipe so the IMEI was the same.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sriram231092:
there is nothing to discuss about imei here. you are complaining about your phone's instability! so changing kernel might alter the performance!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbking61:
I simply misunderstood the footer of your reply.

That's right, but I have always used the CM kernels. So we must look elsewhere.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sriram231092:
so if you do not like to change the default CM kernel, try tweaking it!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbking61:
What should I change exactly? It looks after the sudden death symptom (SDS). I have so far found no recommendations in relation to SDS which have to do with kernel tweaking.

I found a post with a similar situation on the Cynogenmod Forum "All Latest Cm Builds Freeze After Few Minutes" (I cannon post external links)
