[Motorola Droid RAZR] brainwash123:
I decided to flash a factory image since the GPS was not working anymore with whatever ROM I tried, plus random problems. The phone was previously set up with CM10.1 and BMM.

Installed RSD Lite, Moto drivers, downloaded several stock ROMs.

From the factory recovery mode I cannot flash any of those zip files so I proceed with RSD lite. I flashed "9.8.2O-124_SPUEM-14_S7_USASPDRICS01O2UKE1007.0R_USASPDRJBO2GB_P013_A012_p2b_S1FF_fb.xml.zip" which is a retail UK JB image. The phone shows the very first boot screen (red logo) and then the screen goes blank. The computer still sees an MTP device, though only in device manager.

I've tried installing other images but they are an older type (ICS I guess, 01.6.7.2-180&01.6.5.1-167) and RSD shows an error while trying to flash the first file from the archive.

Oh, I still have the "Customer error: contact dealer" on the first boot screen, I think this was from a ICS to JB upgrade with CID deletion(?).

I've already flashed twice using RSD, deleted cache+data, rebooted and left the phone to start up for ten of minutes, don't know what to do. RSD lite reports that flashing was ok.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rlq1667:
been there

Did you erase CID?

if you did yo need to boot in a different way
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DumbleCore:
U did a factory reset in stock recovery? U cannot flash a ics image after flashing jb via rsd. Try again jb EU image than go to stock recovery and perform the wipes

Tapped from my RazR
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brainwash123:
Got it "fixed", finally. I had to go back into the stock boot/recovery menu and choose "BP Tools", last option from the menu and then it booted normally.

I still have to do this after each reboot because it boots to the black screen: hold the three buttons together until it flashes (which means a hard reboot), let go of the power button, press power button again while the other two are still pressed.

On the plus side the GPS started working again after factory reflash which it was kind of expected since the same chip is providing also WiFi and bluetooth which were running fine.

I have a root question: the device was rooted with the virtual machine procedure but after a factory reset the root was lost. I had saved it using Voodoo RootKeeper and the app shows: superuser installed, device rooted, /system supports root protection, protected su available. The "root permission granted" checkbox is disabled though and no application is able to retrieve the root. The su binary is in both /bin and /xbin so I don't understand how it can not function.

Edit: ok, got it, the su binary has -rwsr-sr-x and the owner is root so random users cannot execute it. I also cannot change the permissions so I probably have to root again and figure out a way to keep the root after a factory reset. It makes sense to install BMM since it can take care of permissions.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silicon Knight:
so I got the latest Universal Naked Drivers 0.73 zip file, extraced it to its own folder on my desktop, and then I opened device manager, went to Other Devices>Nexus 4, right clicked, uninstalled, restarted my laptop and nexus 4, and then opened device manager again, and this time clicked on Update Drivers for nexus 4, and when I select browse files on my computer, then I click that folder, which has two sub folders in it, one for AMD64 and then i386, and there is also some other files in the main folder, outside the subfolders, called androidwinusba64 and androidwinusb86, as well as two more called android_apxusb and android_winusb.

But When i click on the main folder so it searched through that and the two subfolders, it keeps saying it's not finding any drivers for my device, and i've tried clicking on each of the sub folders, and neither of those make it work either. I've done what every guide has shown me, which I've installed drives hundreds of times in my 27years of life, and I have never had a problem before. Especially not with Android devices. I can't get my brand new 16gb nexus 4 that i just got yesterday (got it while I wait for Tmobile to get the Nex5 in stock, and then I am switching them out) to show up under my computer as a media device so I can actually drop files onto it. I dont get what the issue is here. I know that the 4.3 update (which I updated to last night when i first powered on my phone and activated it) cause some driver issues from what i've read, but supposedly they have been fixed or whatever, and this Naked Driver is supposed to help as well. But getting them installed first would work better lol. everytime I plug the phone in, it tries to install the drivers itself, but it keeps failing for some reason. Any thoughts on how to proceed ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
It's ADB driver, you need to enable USB Debugging. If you are using Windows 8, reboot it into advance mode and disable driver signature checking.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silicon Knight:
i already know all that lol I've been modding for quite a few years, so I know all about USB debugging, thanks tho. That's definitely not the problem. I can get the phone to work with ADB no problem, but I can't get it to show up as a media device like its supposed to when i have that selected in the USB mode options.

Oh, and I am sorry, I shoulda clarified, I am on Win 7. I already read about the Windows 8 thing tho. Which I got a copy of Win8, so I do plan on upgrading soon, check it out see what its like. But I just gto a new copy of Ubuntu, so I've been playing around with that a lot lately.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silicon Knight:
Anyone ? I have tried so many different things and Just can't get it to work, bout to chuck my laptop out the window lol
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjc123:
I can't speak for the naked drivers as I have never used them, but the ones that come with the SDK work fine with Win 7 on Android 4.3 (Copy and pasting files with Windows Explorer, adb, fastboot, etc.).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E:V:A:
Did you resolve your issue? If not you should try to run "Usb Tree View" and make sure your phone internal USB switch is set to PDA and not MODEM or BOTH etc. I don't know how that works for the Nex4 but its a thing to look at.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Sideous:
Well I have always liked Spigen products. So i ordered the bounce case and a tempered glass....also I had an aluminium home button from my note 2 still.

The install went perfect on the tempered glass (steamy bathroom to get all the dust out the air). I really go nuts when there is dust under the screen so I took my time and installed it perfect.

The bounce case is nice and has a good matte feel.

Here are pictures, would highly reommend buying these.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] itsmikeramsay:
Gonna grab this case when I get mines. And the MIME tempered glass.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mwinggg:
i ditched neo hybrid for bounce, good hand feel and i like the matte finish as well
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jmw2207:
Looks a good setup there mate

Is this the glass.t or glass.tr you have on it?.....looks like the glass.t in the pics....i'm tossing up which one to get.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Sideous:
I was going to get the tr, but the bounce case has a lip to it on the edges spo you wont have to worry about it chipping if you get the glass.t

Also if you order a bounce case the glass.t gets a dicount as combo for buying both.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Sideous:
Also recommend buying the aluminum home button for the note 2...fits the note 3 perfect also so your home button doesnt feel so recessed from the the little extra thickness of the tempered glass. Also adds a more finished look to your phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] hatnim:
Would you recommend the bounce over the neo hybrid?? Im looking to order one today but still not made up the mind yet ..the slim fit/neo hybrid and now the bounce... The slim armor is out of the equation,, i got a ROCK(TPU+PC) but it was so hugenot using it any more..
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mwinggg:
my neo hybrid is gold, i like it with my black note 3, but it adds quite some width to a already large phone in note 3, another thing is the button feel, bounce really enhances the power and volume buttons while on neo hybrid the addon plastic chrome buttons feel loose, neo hybrid for gs4 isnt like that somehow

and more importantly bounce is less than half price of neo hybrid

imo, the only thing neo hybrid wins is looks, it is beautiful, but bounce doesnt look ugly though
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ghostriderz85:
which one is more stiff and fits more snugly? the bounce or the neo hybrid? i already have the neo hybrid but kinda disappointed because of the loose top right corner, if you know what i'm talking about.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mwinggg:
bounce fits more snugly, and it doesnt move at all when its installed
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ghostriderz85:
thanks! i just ordered the bounce and the slim armor, i should have it tomorrow.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Sideous:
The bounce fits perfect.. Love it.

Does the temper glass show any scratches like film protector after a month or two of usage?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] krelvinaz:
Don't think many have had the combination a month or two yet to provide that type of feedback.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
i love my bounce. well worth $10.99 compared to $30+ for neo or slim
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Sideous:
The screen does not have any scratches after a month of use.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ULJ:
Did you get the GLAS.tR or GLAS.t ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] duecebravo:
Been using the bounce case since day two. What tempered glass protector should I get? This seems to be the standard layout for this phone
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Sideous:
If you getting the bounce case get the glass.t, but if your not gettign a case use the glass.tr. The rounded edges is only for a case that doesnt have a lip on it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sitka:
I've had the bounce and the glas T combo for about 3 weeks. maybe more. I concur with the side button comments. Bounce is improved over the naked phone. The bounce has just enough front lip to fold over or butt against the glas t. I've bought some other cases but this combo really is a great match. Sum is greater than the parts kind of thing. I went with the grey and use the included orange rubber home button. very nice. It could be a little more grippy like a silicone case but the sharp beveled edges do a lot of good. and headphone jack housing interference could be an issue and I also tried a $5 plastic clamshell with silicone wrap and two way kick stand that was very good. If you are the rough and tumble sort this is nice....

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLUE-GREY-B...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item565d5446d6

...the kickstand is cheap however and will break off eventually, The above "goof" case is a very valid style case if needed, what really got me was the fit. Like they had been using the N3 for a year before release. Next vacation I'll use it but for the commute sit at desk routine. bounce and glas t wins.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Sideous:
Just got my glass.tr today. Used it on my gf's phone. I think its pretty good also with the bounce case.

My phone randomly shuts off on me.

Does not start back up, as if the battery is pulled. Does this in sleep and in use, but it is not frequent, on 2-3 times a week.

Seems to happen when its tapped just right, the phones never been dropped, and about 6-8 months old.

Not that I am aware, last time I ran stock was to change my number and if I'm correct it would not connect to the network.

All is great except the random shut off, when it first started it only did it once ore twice a month, than it got bad for two weeks once every day or two, then it stopped for a month and randomly happened today in my pocket

Seems to me like a power button issue. I would try stock for a bit and if it continues, take it in to be checked out. They usually replace those.

wrong post...please delete
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phatboyslim:
what causes the power button issue?

because i rarely use the button, i always hit the home button to turn it on and it usually times out to sleep, i always assumed the home button would go first.

if i remember correctly the shut off problem came soon after the ota cyanogen rc1 for my current rom.

i installed stock touchwiz yesterday and i had no data, shows bars but no 3g. states disconnected under phone settings.

everything works great under cm10 other than the shut off issue, like i said i hacked this phone to work with virgin mobile, so i doubt samsung will honor any warranty

[Omni Q&A] iofthestorm:
I successfully built Omni from the Android-4.4 branch today for my N8013, but when I go to flash it I get an error:

set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed

and then the flash fails. I was on TWRP 2.6.0.0 so I updated to 2.6.3.0 which appears to have fixed this error on Nexus 7 (see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47027929&postcount=114 ), but that didn't help. Anyone have any ideas?

I realize this is completely bleeding edge stuff so I'm perfectly happy to wait a few days, but that said it would be awesome if anyone knows how to fix this. One thing I haven't tried is flashing the recovery image built in tree, but as I just copied the recovery parameters from a repository that's over a year old I'm not sure if they're still valid. And mine is 5.1MB whereas the one from TeamWin is 6.4MB, so probably something is not right there.

My device tree(s) are below:

[Omni Q&A] Entropy512:
Last time I had a set_metadata_recursive issue, it was actually from changing the order of the vendor/omni/custom.mk include

But there are probably many ways this could happen - especially on the 4.4 branch, you can assume that this is going to be highly unstable and break in all sorts of strange ways for the first few weeks.

I would suggest that if you're doing a device bringup, start with the 4.3 branch and don't mess with 4.4 until you know it's at least working with 4.3
[Omni Q&A] iofthestorm:
Ah thanks, that's interesting. I did get 4.3 to work, but that was kind of boring :P. I also realized that the reason my recovery was smaller was that it was the AOSP recovery, rebuilt with TWRP and it was fine. Will try flashing again with the in tree built recovery later today (after resyncing and all that).

Update: Flashed the recovery built in tree, and then was able to flash my build successfully, so that's that. However, now I'm getting a black screen upon booting and nothing else. To me this seems kind of odd because the same blobs worked fine for Omni 4.3, but I don't know what's changed since then or whatnot. Probably should do a resync and rebuild in case anything that's recently gone into android_device_samsung_smdk4412-common helps.

Oh, I see, I think I might need to update to mali r3p2? Will give it a shot...

Hey guys,

This is my first time going from older version of Android to a newer this close to its launch. I didn't get a Nexus 4 for approximately 10 months after launch.

Anyway I'm having a lot of issues with apps force closing. I'm gonna just go ahead and assume its because if KitKat. Is this most likely true?

It is so strange..

I just bought a USB 2.0 hub and connected my phone to my new laptop through it.

Guess what... it works perfectly!

Apparently my problem was that my new laptop only had USB 3.0 ports for me to test on?

Doesn't make sense... thought 3.0 is backward compatible and my old Note works on it!

Maybe I'm missing something but I'm happy it is solved for me now :)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SabinSnorlax:
Hey,

I basically seem to have the same problem as you do.

My laptop also only has USB 3.0 ports and Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit installed.

The Nexus 5 doesn't get installed, in MTP mode it is just shown with the yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager. Downloading different USB drivers including Google's and trying to manually install it doesn't work at all. I specifically checked that all older similar drivers are gone, so I doubt that older Android devices could be interfering.

On the other hand, as you noted, using an older computer with USB 2.0 works perfectly, I had the same result.

To be honest, I'm not much of a developer or Android tinkerer, so I'm not really making any progreess... In the end, I think I will follow your example and test it with a USB 2.0 adapter.

Did you manage to get it to work without this workaround?

Kind regards! :fingers-crossed:

I had a lot of issues with my S3 and my work computer (windows XP SP3) and it was because I had half installed some USB driver that windows tried installing.

I fixed the problem in device manager by manually uninstalling EVERY SINGLE USB DEVICE attached to the computer while I had my phone plugged in.

Word of caution: You'll probably uninstall your mouse/keyboard doing this.

Once everything was uninstalled I reinstalled the Samsung drivers and it worked fine.

The same computer only required me to install the Google drivers for my N5. If I enable USB debugging, I all of a sudden can't install MTP drivers, but USB debugging disabled works fine.

USB & MTP mode

I have the same problem with my Nexus 5. The only workaround to transfer files to my phone from a computer via USB cable is to enable USB debuging, set the phone to PTP mode instead of MTP and then it shows in My Computer as a camera. I can only access the DCIM and Pictures folders but for now I have to settle for this...I copy all the files I need to let's say Pictures and then using a file explorer (on the phone) I cut and paste them to the folders I wish...e.g. movies to Movies, music to Music and so on...

MTP connecting problem solved

Going back to the subject of the thread: I am pretty sure that ADB drivers and SDK (I am confident that a lot of nexus users have their devices rooted and that means they must have the above installed) is what is causing some sort of conflict when trying to connect the Nexus 5 as MTP. After I reinstalled the windows (W8) on my computer and connected my Nexus 5 it took [MENTION=1067919]1-2[/MENTION] minutes to auto install the drivers and then worked fine...I have no ideea what happens if I install ADB and SDK again...

The simplest and shortest way to connect google nexus5 with PC as MTP(Media device)

When I plugged it, there wasn't any yellow exclamation mark within Device Manager. So for me, the drivers were OK. But the device was not listed within my Eclipse DDMS. After a little bit of searching, it was just an option to change in the device settings. By default, the Nexus 5 USB computer connection is in MTP mode (Media Device).

What you have to do is:

Unplug the device from the computer

Go to Settings -> Storage.

In the ActionBar, click the option menu and choose "USB computer connection".

Then select Media device(MTP) or Camera(PTP) based on your requirement...

Plug the device and you should have a popup on the device allowing you to accept the computer's incoming connection..
