What happens if I completely deleted the contents of the extended ROM and then did a hard reset? Would this kill my Universal or would I end up with a very basic OS without anything working?

Ignorance is bliss :)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] manzell:
I unlocked my bootloader (using HTC-DEV, not rooted), installed TWRP, and dutifully flashed CM-10.2 (the 11/04 nightly).

However, I failed to flash the boot image; so when I rebooted, I got the HTC splash screen and would continually reboot from there.

I was able to get back in and flash the boot image from the CM-10.2 package, so now when I booted, I get the Cyanogen spinning flash screen - however, I never progress beyond that.

I then performed a "factory reset" from the bootloader - the phone basically rebooted immediately, then re-flashed CM10.2 - but the problem remains the same and the phone will never completely boot up in to any type of "desktop" or anything. I can still boot in to recovery and the bootloader.

Any assistance? Do the ROM / gApps / Boot image need to be flashed in a particular order? Is there a way to flash the boot image via TWRP? How do I remove /system via TWRP, or does the factory reset take care of that?

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] TheGOAT232412:
Try booting into recovery and doing a FULL clean wipe. System/data/cache/dalvik I believe is a full wipe. After that try flashing something other than CM to see if it is an error with CM or the phone all together.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] manzell:
Thanks - that did the trick. I was only able to connect with EDGE - I'm using a T-Mobile SIM. I'm presently looking for peeps with a similar experience... do I need to flash a new radio?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
switch the phone preferred network mode.

settings > "wireless & networks" more > mobile networks > network mode.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] manzell:
I seem to be stuck with GSM/WCDMA - I can select other options, but the preferred network mode doesn't change. I should mention that the phone was verizon-locked and I'm using a T-Mobile SIM.

How did you get HTCDev to work?

I recently tried to go through the HTCDev site to unlock bootloader but it kept 404 error on me so I figured it no longer works. Did it work for you recently or did you do it awhile ago?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ponzi314:
So yesterday I updated to 4.3 and now when using Titanium backup it restores the app but when launching the app It force closes and in the notification bar it says "Security Notice An attempt to access a secure area on your phone without autorization has been blocked. Make sure your phone is protected by updating the security policy to the latest version from samsung." Then has a button for Update policy or cancel and updating the policy doesnt fix it.

So now that you have the story let me tell you exactly what I did to update it.

I followed this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2504408

Then when I went to do the OTA it failed and I was thinking it was because of safestrap and that i still had a rom installed on rom slot 1. So I started over and once I installed VRUDMI1 I did a factory wipe of data just so its fresh(i think thats where i went wrong but i dont know). SO then i continued with the instructions in the link above and got 4.3 installed.

Any Idea why i cant restore? Im thinking it has to do with the app permissions because when I install from store and accept the permissions the app works but i cant restore my data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ponzi314:
Anyone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wesblake:
Same Issue

Yes, anybody? I've had this same issue and worked around it, I just can't keep entering the data in all my apps.

It started when I went from stock on my S4 to Hyperdrive RLS12. The first time I witnessed this, it was annoying, but I figured it was simply because of differences in the stock vs custom (like deodexed vs odexed) making the backups in-compatible. BTW, I am using stock slot. Don't like the whole fake slot thing taking up space, especially when I'm no newbie with installing ROMs.

Well, I went from RLS12->13, same issue. Just did RLS13->14, same issue.

So here's what I just did (and always do). I've installed different ROMs on different phones countless times over the past few years, TB has never failed me in this process until now:

- Did nandroid backup of current ROM

- Took screenshots of important settings, etc.

- Did a TB of my USER apps I want to restore, sync'd to DropBox

- Recovery, full whipe (data/cache/dalvik/etc)

- Install new ROM version

- After first start, FIRST thing I do is re-install TB and license, so I can open it and let it detect my changed device id and restore it.

- After reboot, restore things, including app+data of certain apps from TB

But every time with my S4, I get the same things as ponzi314, if I install App only, it works. If I restore app+data or just data (after installing from market) the app will just go to a blank screen for a few seconds then crash. Even if I clear data at this point, the app won't work. I have to actually un-install/re-install the app.

What gives? It's frustrating given the number of times I've used this process with TB successfully. I'm going back to my nandroid backup for now until I can solve this. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] buhohitr:
Make sure "unknown app" is checked in settings and download root checker to verify if your phone is rooted.

I recently attended a concert and took my nexus 4 along with me to take some video recordings. After playing back the recordings I have realised the sound is really distorted. From looking around i've heard its an issue with the mic gain. Could i possibly use an external mic to record through the headphone jack? If so does anyone have any recommendations as to which I should purchase? Doesn't have to be anything special just so the sound is clear and reasonably priced. Also what app will allow me to record via the headphone jack?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oSandmaNo:
Just put your finger on the microphone while recording. It will be less distorted.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stovie_steve:
Hoping you guys can help me

I s offed my phone using rumrunner, downgraded my hboot to 1.44 and restored my 1.29.206.7 O2 stock nandroid backup. I ran revone, locked the bootloader, removed tampered and updated to the latest 3.62.206.1 firmware. I need to send the phone back for repair so I did fastboot oem writesecureflag 3. I rebooted the phone and on first reboot the phone boot to the lock screen, froze and then reboot. This kept happening until a factory reset, after which the bootloader read as tampered and locked

My bootloader was 1.55 and not a modified hboot as I had come from hboot 1.44, although I don't think this hboot was for my model id or cid (I changed the android.info file to flash it)

How do I safely go to s-on for repairs? Or should I leave it as s off and locked bootloader. I'm sending it to o2 rather than HTC

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacy4real:
Hello, is there any way to check if my bootloader is unlocked? I want to install CWM but i don't know if i unlocked the bootloader correctly, after copying it and writing reboot in adb the phone just turned off. But it did start with no problems after i turned it on after that, and after that i copied the bootloader and it had a different MD5 than the backup i made. Also my firmware is 4.1.2 E61020g-EUR-XX, does it mean i have v20 baseband? I just want to be sure before i flash CM 10.2 because i don't want to brick my phone.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacy4real:

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sabyn:
flash cwm and boot into it, if it shows the cwm, the bootloader is unlocked

if it not unlocked, it will show an bootloader security error or something like that

[Galaxy S 4 General] androidiphonehacker:
After long thoughts.. I have hatched an idea.

I need all the developers and coders I can to join with me to create a dev-team for a new line of kernel (Specifically for USB WiFi adapter support with CyanogenMod ROMs, for SGS-i9505, otherwize known as fjltexx)

•This kernel will have OTG driver support for most atheros chipset USB wireless adapters

•Inspired by me, due to limited to NO support for this ROM or device model for this specific capability

•Will come with ath9k modules, and other common modules and drivers

•Easy flash through zip file of the kernel

Yes it does and twrp works just fine for those asking, yes wipes do take longer than normal but they do wipe.

You could install via twrp? What the heck. Had no success. Installation aborted. Any trick?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] MrPhilo:
Bad download,

It's worked for me as well, Google Now is working, location etc is fine.

Only gripe is that flashing Google Camera HDR+ force closes, any chance you'll look into this?

And since your adding small work in like extra power menu, any chance you'll add volume up and down for music skip and lockscreen quick unlock for security :)

I'll probably flash your ROM on my Flo soon, I like using same things on both device!

Still it shouldnt reset it self to 1970 at every boot if your not connected to the internet
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jakdillard:
No it shouldn't on a normal device but this device requires an app (TimeService.apk) to keep time in sync over a reboot we had the driver for this app published to us when the n5 went into AOSP but they didn't give us the app as I said before in a post not far from under yours I have found the issue and its being addressed.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jakdillard:
Ok most AOSP roms use closed-sourced binary to provide a working device in example your device will not boot past the Google screen if you built a rom without adding the proprietary binary that AOSP licensed for redistribution to make the graphics and such work. In my rom I use a little more closed-source binary such as the bootanimation, and the DRM drivers. You are questioning "SuperSU" in which Chainfire gives developers permission to embed in their roms

"ROM Developers

Feel free to include the (free version, unmodified) SuperSU APK in your ROMs. You do not need to ask me for permission to include it."

-Chainfire

while this "binary" is not open source I do include it in my rom. I honestly do not know where you were going with your post but please be advised that any "trolling" of any kind will not be tolerated by me, I will report post that badger me or any member of this forum that gets badgered in any thread I open.

Another major update, this updates "mocks" what you would get from stock, its still source built but I add gapps to insure everything works as it should so if you want something that is close to stock this is probably the closest you will get. Note this rom contains AOSP versions of Camera2 and Gallery2 which does not contain Google features like HDR+ and Picasa viewing (upload is very functional). Also I DO NOT USE FACE LOCK SO I DIDN'T INCLUDE IT SINCE I BELIEVE ITS A WASTE OF SPACE.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Globespy:
No disrespect to the Dev, but I was asking the same question.

Since it's the intention to keep a stock experience, but do without the latest camera, Google dialer and gallery/photos, I don't see the benefits outweighing the missing stuff?

If you want stock with all Google 4.4 features and some additional cool stuff like battery % mod and extended post menu, I can only recommend cataclysm.

With the latest updated build (Nov 26), I'm getting 4.5 hours SOT and the phone off the charger for over 36 hours.

I'm using Faux kernel.

Thanks for your efforts though.
