[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] churchey360:
I'm using ktoonsez aosp 4.3 kernel for now but my screen does a weird glitch thing when i open and close apps and when navigating around my settings, it's not a real bad glitch tho.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vowelsounds:
I had been needing to update my phone for a few months now, but because I'm super lazy and I have to flash the boot.img with a pc first, I avoided it... until tonight.

First, I had CM10.1 flashed, did my usual thing: dled the latest nightly, extract zip file, wipe, flash boot.img... went to flash nightly (which I noticed only after was 10.2 nightly) and it failed.

I had done a backup before all of this, but restoring the backup does nothing. Stuck at the HTC splash screen with red text.

When I noticed I was trying to update from 4.2.2 to 4.3, I found the thread on here and noticed that to do so, I had to attain S-Off first. I followed the instructions to do so and at the very last step ( adb shell su -c "/data/local/tmp/soffbin3" ), there's an (unwanted) error. It says su directory not found. In the last successful boot I had before all of this, I know debugging was enabled, and I had flashed superuser.zip in TWRP successfully, and I know I had SuperCID. There was also an issue where, when the instructions state the system should boot to android, my phone just turns off. I booted into TWRP and continued the steps...

I got fed up with all of this and just tried to flash CM10.1. Went through all my normal steps, but now the install fails (Error 7). (I tried the trick where you remove some lines of code, but when I try to flash the altered zip, it just fails. No error listed.) I think it's because of the S-Off attempt. (MID is PJ8312000 I THINK... I recognized it from the S-Off process.)

I've tried everything: updated TWRP, switched to CWM, restored backup AGAIN... still stuck. I need help :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
When you made your backup did you backup boot? And when you restored did you flash that boot?

What ROM were you on when you attempted the s-off process? You said you couldn't get anything to boot, so if you didn't have a bootable ROM installed that's why it failed.

You should really never removed lines of code from an updater script if a ROM won't install, it's stopping it for a reason. Every time I've seen someone do this and the ROM flashed "successfully" it's bricked their phone.

Lastly, cm10.2 doesn't require s-off. It does require you to run the 3.18 RUU first though, and that requires s-off.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vowelsounds:
Hey, thanks for responding!

I can't remember the nightly I was on exactly, but it was definitely CM10.1 (Android 4.2.2). I don't think it's hard bricked. (I can still access bootloader and recovery.)

Do you have any advice on what I could/should do (besides hang myself... :crying:)...?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vowelsounds:
Hey, I flashed the boot.img from the nandroid backup then restored. Finally got it working again!

Thanks for the help; please close thread! :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Good news. Time to get s-off? If so, I'd suggest temporarily flashing a 4.1 ROM purely for s-off process, many folks have had trouble with it working 4.2 ROMs.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Just for future reference: If the screen comes on for this device, its almost certainly not bricked, and you can recover.

Why do folks always ask for their threads to be closed the second they resolve their problem? Its not your decision to make. Threads stay open, in case others want to make further comments or ask their own questions.

The only time threads on XDA get closed typically, is if there is some kind of excessive fighting/conflict, or rules have been broken.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] deepen915:
Just got the update and I am really annoyed at Samsung! why would they remove one of the most used toggles! does anyone know how to bring it back?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hovax615@hotmail.com:
Someone on the mj6 leak said if you go to the quick toggle setup and reset it you'll get it back. But didn't work for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
See if you can get 3minit framework and enable it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] deepen915:
Yup I tried the same logical step, but to no avail.. SMH at Samsung! I did download the Data Enabler Widget which does the same thing, but still disappointed as to why they would remove an important toggle.. At least give us an option to restore it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Wittyusernametaken:
What about the power toggles app? Does that not work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] deepen915:
Apps work.. I use the data enabler widget.. but I want the stock settings. why would they remove such a thing..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] drichter12:
I personally have never found a reason to want to toggle data on and off so I never even noticed it was missing. That being said, would you be able to use Tasker to watch for another quick toggle (such as S Beam or Blocking Mode) to activate/deactivate and then toggle data accordingly? At least that would give you a solution more closely related to what you are used to. Just a thought.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ExEvolution:
What is the proper way to format a galaxy nexus? I want to clear everything possible and start fresh in an attempt to solve the abysmal write speeds I've been getting recently and I don't want to wind up bricking the thing in the process since I know certain partitions store the boot loader and more.

Other attempts to fix the write speed including fstrim, changing the mount command to enable trimming deleted files automatically, completely filling all free space with zeros then removing it, and none have helped yet. It gets approximately 0.10-0.15KB/s on random write with androbench, 2.0-5.5MB/s for sequencial write. I've never had anything less than 12GB free space, except when I tried filling all the free space

I want to format before reinstalling cyanogenmod and I understand there are risks involved that could brick my device so any instruction for what should and should not be touched would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marko207:
You need custom recovery installed (twrp or cwm). I have twrp. You need from recovery, for example twrp, wipe cache, dalvik cache, data and system from advanced wipe menu. After that, you should put in queue rom (which you are installing in zip format), then gapps(not all rom's need gapps, read install description for current rom) and custom kernel (not necessarily). After you just swipe on menu to proceed with installation and thats it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahsanali.pk:
Make sure yu don't wipe "sdcard data" (there's a difference in System Data and SDCard Data). Marco207 mentioned that yu will have to wipe System Data. Rest yu may wipe anything, in fact, everything in case yu want a whole fresh ROM.

Has anyone a copy of the rom for the uk orange spv m500 or know how to back up my rom easily. i would like to start having a play but it would be nice to be able to restore it if it all goes tits up.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oltp:
Hi,

Backup is fairly simple:

- get ntrw.exe & romugrade.exe from the ftp

- get a SD-card > 64MB

- make backup of everything you want to keep from your magician & SD-card. everything will be wiped!!

- fully charge your magician

- uncheck usb connection in Act.sync on your PC

- put your magician in Bootloader (camera & power & soft-reset at the same time for a few seconds) wait till screen fades & reads 'serial v1.0x'. Screen is very dark since backlight is of.

- connect usb, now the screen reads 'usb v1.0x'

- start romupgrade on your pc

- pick the magician connection in the listbox, wces something I belief

- now a screen pops up

- type d2s in this screen

- follow progress on pc & magician

- wait till checksum finishes

- get SD from the magician & put it into a cardreader. DON'T FORMAT!!!

- put ntrw in C:\

- start a command window

- type on commandline: ntrw read myrom.nb1 [sd driveletter]:

- follow progress

- error at the end is normal

- finished

- reset your device & restore backup

- Playtime

Regards, M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] shumart:
cheers for ya help, done that bit, how do i get the rom ive just dumped flashed back on the phone?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oltp:
Make sure you're using the SD with the romdump still on it, so you 'overwrite the dump on the SD. When the card has been formatted betwenn dumping & writing back the image ntrw will write your old rom after the mbr & the Bootloader won't see the image. Thus if you use a formatted card, make an romdump from the current rom on the SD & put the sd in the card-reader now you can write a new rom on the sd with ntrw & the bootloader will see the image.

- type on commandline: ntrw write mybs.nb1 [sd driveletter]:

error at the end is normal

- put the SD in your magician

- now it should read 'press power to flash'

- press the power button

- watch it reaches 100% - checksum will always fail

- reset & hopefully enjoy the new rom

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] The Stig 04:
I'm having a really annoying problem in google chrome and hoping there is a solution other than the obvious in not using chrome. So...

In my favorites folder there is a Verizon folder that when ever I open chrome it opens into that folder rather than my favorites and its absolutely annoying 1. Because it has useless links and 2. I cannot delete the folder. Is this the norm now in verizon phones when using chrome? Anyway I'm hoping that maybe there is a way to disable that folder?

[Sony Xperia ZL] itsrudetostAris:
Hello All,

I did some quick forum searches but came up empty so here's my story...

I own a stock Generic US Model C6506 with no mods of any sort and recently updated OTA to 10.3.1.A.2.67 from the .244 Build. I noticed immediate battery, ear speaker sound, and radio issues (both WiFi and Mobile). The battery never seemed to know how much charge it had and the percentage jumped up or down by up to 20% after restarting the phone. Sorted out the battery calibration to find that my WiFi and Mobile radio are much much weaker than with the flawless (at least for me) .244 build. Attempted PC Companion software repair for .2.67, but radio issues persist and now calls are very fuzzy even with full bars in a 2G/3G/3G+/LTE area. Battery drain over a 10 hour workday is between 25 and 40 percent more than what I am used to and msm_hsic_host (the 3G modem wakelock?) is off the charts with 1000+ in a one hour period and between 5 and 6 thousand wakelocks for an average day!

Anyone else experiencing battery/sound/WiFi/mobile data issues after the 10.3.1.A.2.67 update?

i tried to install a custom ROM on my phone and in the middle of the process discovered that my download was bad. now i'm stuck in recovery mode. I've tried restarting and taking my battery out so far. any other suggestions? or am i just screwed? please, any help would be greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You should have no worries. You'll probably need to flash back to stock and then do any customizations you want from there.

We need to know your experience level, and what exactly you have done with your phone up to this point, what you were running before you tried to install a custom rom, what rom it was, how you were installing it, etc. Anything you can think of to add may be helpful.

Im new to this so if i sound stupid... dont mind it and just help me pls!

Phones rooted,try install new font style,i downloaded myfont app on playstore, downloaded a font style and install it,but it doesnt change the font of my phone,it only changed the font on the lock screen.so i thought something went wrong and try to set it back to default font but nothing happened.so i browsed system files,found a folder named fonts,and deleted the files that are written like the same font that i just downloaded and deleted them then restart the phone and when it booted,when the lockscreen appears it just stayed there,the screen went on and off showing the lock screen(is that a bootloop?) So i tried hard factory reset,then it booted,went to homescreen so i thought it was fixed.but when i locked the screen just to check if the fonts on the lockscreen were back to stock it just happened again,the screen went on and off showing the lockscreen(is that a bootloop agian?)so what i did was reset it again and when i got to the homescreen i went to settings,set the lock screen to "no lock screen" so it will never lock.and now i can use it like nothings wrong except for the notebook app that couldnt initialize and the lockscreen.i dont know how to fix this.my phones is only a week old,and this is my first android phone.pls help =[

Did you use freegee from the play store after rooting to install CWM? And then make a back up of your stock ROM ?
[LG Optimus G Pro] calitiskirby@gmail.com:
no back up

i rooted it using a computer,i followed a method here in xda.i also dont have back up.

but i found a thread about installing a stock rom,should i try that?i dont care losing my files i just want to fix myphone,its only a week old..

if i flash that stock rom,would that help?
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
I would return to stock, re-root install CWM via freegee from the play store make a backup then start trying custom ROMs... You always need to have a backup of your stock ROM just invade something goes wrong..
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
That's the best advice and I second it.

I try to always do just the basic setup and app configs and installations then make a backup of stock before beginning to tinker with resources, because if you screw something up, you can always go back quickly to where you left off and save yourself a lot of hassle.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
Just as simple as flashing it on top. There's a thread in the development section that has one that can be flashed through fastboot. There's also a recovery flashable zip in in the thread somewhere.

Just as a side note, which Eagles does your username refer to? Football, airplanes, birds, or music?

Philadelphia Eagles
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
Thought it was Philly, but wasn't sure. I've worked on the F-15 in the past and I was kind of hoping that was the eagle you were referring too.

As for backups, it's hit or miss. I've been able to get them to work. Even backups that I made in my Safe Strap days. Each version of TWRP saves the backup in the same format. However, some people have reported that old backups don't work in the newest TWRP.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roxkis:
Hello xda

I haven't rooted yet but I'm looking up on what roms I may want to flash but I'm having a problem understanding what roms I can flash.

My phones hardware version says N900p

So I initially thought i could only flash n900 roms

But apon further investigating It seem n900 roms are for the exynos powered note 3.

I just ran cpu-z and it says I have the snapdragon cpu

Does that mean I'm able to flash n9005 roms?

(Btw I'm on sprint.)

Also just a side questions if anyone happens to know. Does sprint care if the Knox is tripped? I remember reading somewhere that they don't but I can find where I read that and I want to be sure.

Thanks to anyone that can help this confused noob. :confused:
