[HTC Sensation] GoodOlTarvis:
Hello, I was reflashing a ROM (Sultan's CM10.2 w/ PMEM) but it seems to be stuck on Installing update...

It's been going for about 30 minutes now, much longer than the other times I've flashed it.

My question is, since it clearly isn't going anywhere, is it safe to remove the battery to start over again? I don't want to brick it.

(Not sure what went wrong, I think my SD card's going bad. I've flashed a few roms before successfully including this one, and I'm S-OFF'd and rooted already)
[HTC Sensation] Shree.bhagwat:
HI

Greetings

i assume you have made a nandroid backup as if somthing goes wrong thats the thing which will help you

secondly you can try again just remove the battery and try againg

do a clean installation
[HTC Sensation] GoodOlTarvis:
Alright then. I took out the battery and reflashed it and nothing bad happened.

Thanks.

How do I do a hard reset?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HunterL:
I recently unrooted my Galaxy Note 2 and now the battery is charging extremely slow. When I was rooted it usually took only a few hours to charge but now it's taking 10+ hours to fully charge the device. It also seems that it's discharging at a faster rate than before; about 1% every 3 minutes with moderate use. Help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Out of curiosity, why did you unroot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
Sounds like a wakelock and/or a rogue background task.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HunterL:
I was having some issues when I was rooted and figured if I unrooted and then rerooted everything would be fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
1% drop every 3 mins is insane. Unrooting should have no effect on battery. You must have some background process chewing battery. 10 hrs to charge is crazy too. Mine fully charges from <10% in ~3 hrs. Did you flash back to stock, or unroot using an app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HunterL:
I unrooted my phone by using Odin. I'm back to stock Touchwiz and rooted but I'm only getting about 8-10 hours of battery life with moderate use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Yeah you should get more than that. Are you in a 4G fringe area? If your phone constantly switches between 4G/3G, that will murder the battery. Also, have you used Better Battery Stats & Wakelock Detector? Those apps show what is keeping your phone awake & chewing battery
[General Questions and Answers] mat2233:
So yesterday I successfully upgraded my Motorola Defy from 2.2 to jellybean using the latest version or the cyanogen mod. I also installed the latest Gapps. Everything seemed fine until attempted to connect to wifi. When I click on the browser app it loads then instantly crashes. Then I tried the play store but it would not connect. It says it is connected to my home wifi next to the connection but says not connected under the drop down menu.

To try to fix this I reinstalled the cyanogen mod and gapps. Same problem. Then I tried a later version of them with still no luck. Every time I have installed I have restored and cleared the cache. The lasted install won't even turn on wifi.

Everything I have downloaded has been from links on this site. I am a total noob at this and have no idea what's wrong so I've just given as much info as I can.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xanad21:
My D802 seems to be losing some settings when it's rebooted.

1) On all reboot, the brightness is back to 100%.

In settings/display, I set the brightness to 60% with auto disabled. After a reboot, the display is back to 100%.

2) *Sometimes* it sets the system time to random

I observed this only twice. The time remains correct on other reboots. The time jump happens when I turn off the phone and leave it off for a few hours, and turn it back on. Both the hour and minutes are wrong. "Automatic date time" and "Automatic timezone" are both disabled. There is no SIM card and no WIFI enabled.

Does it look like a hardware problem? Can someone help see if you also have these symptom, especially 1) since it happens everytime for me.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Floodland:
It is happening for my G2 as well. Did you discover what the issue is?

I have my suspicious that could be the lack of SIM card, as I am now preparing the device for my brother and he needs a micro seem which he does not have... The device worked as intended before the hard reset, and I tried to reset it again, but the issue persist...

Thank you

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Xenogenics:
Hey guys, I've rooted, installed CWM Recovery, Unlocked Bootloader, and installed CyanogenMod on another phone before.

The thing is, I've had this phone for about 6 months and wanted to do the same. However, after browsing through the forums, man are there a lot of scary sh*t going down. I would like the request the procedure to install CyanogenMod safely, without losing any Keys/IMEI/XReality/DRMkeys/Etcetera.

I dont know if the method given by FXP is supposed to be this straight forward, but I too like others, do not want to risk losing important stuff if it can be avoided (Keys/IMEI/XReality/DRMkeys/Etcetera).

Frankly speaking, the forums is pretty much jumbled up, and the existing [Guide] Threads are either incomplete (Lacking important steps), or Unclear (Non-Specific steps).

Perhaps someone could do me a favour by using the template that I have below to help me, and possibly others, to install CM 10.2 on our beast of a phone.

Template:

1. Backup TA and DRMkeys and stuff: http://xdaforums.com/backup

2. Root: http://xdaforums.com/root

3. Recovery : http://xdaforums.com/recovery

4: Unlock Bootloader: http://xdaforums.com/ulbl

5: Install FXP's CM 10.2 :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2461286

Something like that would suffice I think, as long as no important steps are missing that would cause me to lose stuff unique to my phone, that cannot be recovered if I didn't back it up.

P.S. My version is 14.1.B.2.257

P.P.S. Thank you in advance.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
1. Root

2. Backup TA (VERY IMPORTANT)

3. Install Recovery and unlock the bootloader, or the other way around. Both ways work.

4. Install ROM by following the "guide" that you quoted above.

:)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Xenogenics:
I'm on 14.1.B.2.257, I believe reverting to the previous version causes data to be lost unless you back it up right. *Sighs* How troublesome.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
you will have to back up the data anyways. I think unlocking the bootloader does a factory reset, as well one is needed going from stock to CM if i unforget correctly
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] stiggy2012:
I am also wondering about this. I'm currently running firmware .257.

I understand that I need to back up the TA partition first (though I'm not exactly sure on what I will loose if I don't). I also understand that to do this I need to root the stock rom. I understand that in order to root, I'll need to first downgrade to an earlier firmware using flashtool. However, after that I'm not so sure what I need to do. As far as I can see, the only method of gaining root currently is to use vRoot, which is currently under investigation for IMEI mining.

How else can I root the device? I was thinking of maybe using the recovery for locked bootloaders here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2426739

Following by flashing SuperSU from recovery as per usual.

Will this work, keeping the TA partition intact so that I can back it up before flashing CM? Assuming so, would I even need to downgrade from the .257 firmware at all?

Thanks,
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tommo123:
i have CWM now so can flash custom roms like i did on other phones right?

what does unlocking the bootloader give me? unless i'm wrong and i have to unlock to flash?

all i've done so far is do a backup is all. (did a TA backup a while back though)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] stiggy2012:
OK, so looking into this further, you already need to have root to be able to flash the "CWM for locked bootloader" rocovery. So as far as I can see, the only way to get root in order to back up the TA partition is to give your IMEI to the Chinese via vRoot? :confused:

Thank god the stock rom is so good.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
You have to unlock the bootloader to flash custom ROMs. You can flash stock ROMs without unlocking it, but you have to unlock it if you want CM, PAC, PA etc.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tommo123:
really, so what would happen if i tried to flash an aosp rom now? would the system partition essentially be read only?

sorry for the Qs but haven't had a locked bootloader since the htc desire (although the s-off for that one was to remap the partitions to allow more room for data) and the reasons for unlocking don't seem to be the same.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Nothing will happen if you try it now. You can easily unlock the bootloader by going to Sony's Dev site, request your key and use Flashtool to unlock it. It takes a couple of minutes once you have Flashtool and the drivers installed. It's also perfectly safe to unlock it and you will lose your warranty. BUT you can easily relock it again if something happens to your ZU and the warrenty will be back.

Remember to backup your TA before you unlock your bootloader. It contains a lot if device info and your unique DRM keys. Unlocking the bootloader will wipe the system partition, but you will still have root, photos, music etc. (But do a backup of those just in case).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tommo123:
i think that's where i got confused with drivers - unlocking.

i have already done a backup of my TA part so that side of it is ok. i'll leave unlocking until there's a rom i want to try. possibly a complete 4.4 or something.

cheers LM :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
If you've already backed up your TA, it means that you have the drivers installed, so job done :p All you have to do is to install Flashtool and get your key from Sony (which you will get on your email straight away). Either way, just ask here if/when you want to unlock it so we can guide you through it (it's very easy though).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tommo123:

Is there anyone willing to help me out with this? Let me know, ty guys
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
I'd suggest burning a CM10.x pre-made SDcard image (e.g., cm_acclaim_10.1_21APR2013_HD_SDC_IMG.7z from Succulent's repo http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013/02/18/cm10-1-jellybean-android-4-2-2-for-nook-tablet-0218/) and see if your NT can successfully boot and run a ROM from SDcard. If it does then you can proceed to restoring stock ROM (or flashing CM10) internally on emmc.

Also, refrain from reformatting any partition (other than possibly /cache, /system, /data, if you have good reason to do so and know what you're doing), as you risk making the problem worse -- see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dand40:
Much thanks for the attempt. But after trying everything you siad (and following them to dozen of other stuff) still no fix.

Basically i need help to re-write my emmc partions it seems. Is this correct?

I can get it to boot to CWM from a SD card, but no further.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dand40:
Additional info -

I cant get ADB to work at all, it boots into CWM (CWRM?) where i can apply update.zip and all that stuff, but ADB doesnt list my device (i tried on 2 different computers). Was thinking my drivers were messed up or something, but in device manager it lists my device as a E: and F: (emmc and SD card?) so i dont really know where to go from here.... fml

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dand40:
Follow the guide for setting up the SD card. Get to the last step:

wait until device boot into recovery.

This never happens, it shows me the "n" and reboots over and over.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] liquidzoo:
Do you have another SD Card to try? I had the same problem getting mine to boot from SD after I updated it to 1.4.3 (ages ago), but trying a different SD Card fixed the issue.

Also, I think the post I have in my signature has instructions that are similar to that other link but might be a bit easier to follow. I wrote them so that a non-technical person should be able to follow them. Nothing against succulent, he does wonderful work.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] stillblaze01:
make sure you take out sdcard before it reboots
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] newbtrigger69:
i had same porblem. the fix

i noticed that these new sd boots for recovery don't really work. i had to use the cwm and sd boot stuff from the nook color and worked like a charm. BUT! u have to be very patient and vigilant because depending on the type of usb cord u are using (factory nook usb cable, or generic cable) i may take awhile to boot from sd.

step1- download (https://www.mediafire.com/folder/dd1cwv3uw0u18/NOOK TABLET) <<-----sdboot.zip and cwm.zip

step2-download minitool partition wizzy

step3-put sd card into computer

step4-using minitool, delete partition, create partition (make primary, and fat32), right click on sd card (usually F:) set flag to active and change partition ID type to 0x0c fat32lba and then click apply. (IN THAT ORDER)

step5-once parted copy from the sdboot attatchment provided to sd card, the recovery.img, MLO,flashing_boot, and u-boot. Also put the cwm emmc.zip provided as well into sdcard.

step6-put sd into nook, MAKE SURE NOOK OFF BEFORE U PUT IT IN OR U WILL HAVE TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN, then plug nook into computer via usb cord, be patient and wait for nook to boot, once it finally boots, U MUST BE VERY QUICK AND PRESS "N" THE SECOND CYANOBOOT POPS UP, GO TO SDC RECOVERY NOT INTERNAL RECOVERY. that will load up sd cwm, once it is up it will now let u install the cwm i provided. install it.

step7-once this is done unplug it from comp, turn off, and repeat steps 3-6 (BUT THIS TIME ADD THE CYANOGENMOD 10.+ YOU WANT TO USE IN THE SD CARD AS WELL ALONG WITH THE CORRECT GAPPS) once sd cyanoboot pops up choose internal recovery instead of sdc recovery. install cm10+, gapps, and the internal cwm emmc.zip i gave u as well for good measure.

step8- once done take out sd card and reboot regularly with/without usb doesnt matter. u should be good...........it seems like alot but its actually rly fast when u got the hang of it.

I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU. LMK if my link doesnt work. these sd files are the only ones i found that actually work for me. maybe they work for u
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dand40:
Closer than anything i've tried! When i try to choose internal recovery the system just freezes and i cant get it to go any further! I was soooooooo happy then this crushed my dreams lol....

Thank you so much dude, any suggestions to finish this out?

edit:

Added information, after installing the flash emmc provided, it says everything was fine.

Then when i go back to the main CWM menu, i have a error saying:

E:Cant mount /cache/recovery/log

E:Cant Open /cache/recovery/log

E:Cant mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E:Cant Open /cache/recovery/last_log

Dunno if this means anything really, but figured more info is better. Thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] newbtrigger69:
that info is crucial actually. and this is what happened.

whatever you did to you nook prior to all this messed up ur internal pertitions. meaning they are all different sizes and such than they should be. maybe u installed something that belonged to another device (not the sdboot that wouldnt do it) more like a wrong cm version or something or even a kernel. whatever the case ur partitions are funky. going to work now but when i get back ill take a look and see if i can find something. i ran into same problem with my nook color a few weeks ago and got it fixed hopefully nook tablet has pretty much the same thing. getting it booted up is good though.will try to give u something later today :rolleyes:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dand40:
So last night i tried to load from SDC, internal recovery and pretty much any option it would let me. I have no idea what that broke but now when i plug my cable in it will not boot to SD or EMMC.... Take the SD Card out and try to boot and it will goto the "n" screen after about 2 min... then just stay black (im assuming its actually still on)...F M L
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] newbtrigger69:
i think i got a fix.

https://github.com/succulent/acclaim_recovery_sdcard <<<<<-----------------------go here

scroll down to Other flashable Files (Did you messed up your Nook Tablet?) and follow these directions. if ur confused on any of them ASK FOR CLARIFICATION BEFORE U JUMP INTO SOMETHING. this will help u repartition areas 1-6 which is would i did for my nook color and it worked when i ran into this EXACT problem so maybe this will help u. also if ur sdcard stopped booting to cyanoboot where u press "n" to enter cwm recovery, maybe a new one like i listed from sratch, go through all the steps again and jus add the appropriate zip files from succulents recovery tutorial listed above

get back to me asap if u have ANY questions :fingers-crossed:

---->>>IF THIS WORKS ALL CREDIT GOES TO SUCCULENT FOR HIS RECOVERY PROCESS<<<----:highfive:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] newbtrigger69:
ALSO!, i believe it talks about just flashing cm7 based on this 1.4.2 stock flash. 80% sure u may need to update to 1.4.3 stock in order to proceed to flash cm10+ (WHICH IS WUT U WANT) cm7=garbage now that bexus-n kernel has been out and even without it the new cm 10.+ cyanogenmods are pretty sweet.

(if u get it working, word of caution is the 10.2cm stable+ later nightlies have some NT related internal storage problems as of today. so u might want to flash 10.2m1 if u so choose to go past cm7 gingebread) GOOD LUCK! i hope u solve this. because i know this thread would help alot of newbs when troubleshooting.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbFarid:
Hi.

This is my first post, so, please, tell me if I'm doing something wrong.

I hoped that somebody could assist me with an issue. When an update is happening in the background the app in use will briefly blink, as if it was minimised and restored. It happenswhen the "Internal storage left" message pops up. Though it happens really quickly, some activities become impossible. For example, a YouTube video will restart if an app updates, and if few apps are updating it will just keep restarting the video. A game will blink and pause.

I'm using a stock ROM, even though it's rooted. I can't remember having this issue a month ago, but can't find what could possible cause this. Hope to hear some ideas for solution.

Many thanks in advance.

However, I suggest you just install one of the 4.3 ROMS (there is at least one available already) from the development section instead of taking the full update so you can still use a custom recovery and LOKI'd ROMs..

I would check out ShoStock-i MF3 or Venoms or Ax's International Roms. At all cost keep your MDL Bootloaders and have access to custom recoveries and flash WHATEVER you want. Safestrap is nice IF your stuck on MF3 but it has its limitations on what you can flash with it. Plus I am sure once the official tar drops for the ATT MJ9 firmware you will see some Roms based on ATTs stock firmwares and STILL have the ability to go back to other older firmwares if you want. With SafeStrap you are limited to 4.2.2 Roms at this time
