[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supitsronnie:
1. Is having a ROM such as CyanogenMod safe to use for a long period of time? (I don't want to wake up and my phone won't boot.)

2. Is CM Updater safe to use?

3. Is having TWRP on my device as reliable as stock recovery?

4. Is there any other popular ROMs with OTA updates besides CyanogenMod and Omni? I would feel more comfortable having it auto-flash for me rather than having to manually flash each update.

I always flash my devices with CyanogenMod and revert back to stock shortly after because I feel like if something happens to my device I won't be able to RMA and I'll be screwed.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] housry23:
The great thing about Nexus devices is they are very hard to brick. As long as you can get to bootloader, you can flash stock images and you're back in business. As far as your questions: 1. Yes as long as it's a stable build. It's very alpha right now so if you want safe, you should probably wait. 2. Yes. 3. Not right now. It's still buggy. 4. Yes. There are many. Paranoid Android is one I can think of off the top of my head.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
No no no no no.

If you're not comfortable manually flashing your device, DONT flash your device. The people who "auto" anything are the people who don't know enough to get themselves out of trouble. This is the reason you should READ, READ and then READ.

Dont do anything until you are comfortable. Dont do anything automatically that you couldn't do manually.

Definitely start by reading the ref thread stickied at the top of this q&a section

Ok, i got my G2 today and have spent hours upon hours trying to get this to work.

This is where im at so far,

I have the international version of the G2-d802

I have used the ioroot10 file to root the phone.

Downloaded ROM manager from the play store and attempted to flash clockwork recovery mod.

It says it is complete, but then when I select reboot to recovery I just receive the dead android with the red exclamation mark, with the words " No Command " written underneath.

What am I doing wrong?

It all seemed straight forwards until I tried to attempt it myself, I've looked everywhere for answers and have come up with nothing.

P.S: I am a complete noob when it comes to this. I have seen some methods involving adb or something, seemed too complex, and I figured using some apps and a simple batch file would be enough to get this to work, apparently I was wrong.

Hello everybody

I've been a long time lurker here, but this is my first post.

I've actually brought myself a clone of a Samsung S4 which I was hoping to custom rom, however before I can get there I obviously need to get a custom recovery etc and the problem is that my make doesn't seem to have a stock recovery image that I can find and I've been searching for well over 2 days most intensely.

I've looked around on many guides that show you how to get root and even this seems impossible on this phone all the guides tell me that I need to turn off the phone and then power it on holding vol - and home and power and this should take me to download mode but this merely takes me to factory mode which is all in Chinese to which I do not understand. (holding up doesn't get me to download mode either)

So what I guess I'm trying to ask is, is there any one out there they may be able and willing to help in my time of technological need.

the phone is written as ' N9500 S4 MTK6589 quad core Siv i9500

Well I do hope everyone was able to understand what I wrote and thank you for your time and help

Hi I wanted to get some advice from other users on this forum. I purchased a note 3 off of Craigslist over a month ago. Yesterday my phone was blocked by tmobile because the previous owner didn't pay the EIP on the phone. I tried explaining the situation but they wouldn't unblock it unless the previous owner paid the remaining balance. They wouldn't even let me pay it. Now I'm just wondering what I can do with this phone now that it's blocked or any advice on getting a new one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] alicepattinson:
Do you still have the contact info of the owner? If yes contact him/her immediately.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Naddict:
Unfortunately my friend, you do not have any legitimate remedy if the carrier is not willing to work with you.

You might can sell the device as a developer tool (marked as blocked device of course), but other than that, sounds like you got yourself a fancy paperweight (bad news, sorry).

Now, I will do a couple things here, as it sounds like you tried your best, and maybe a user has a unique

way of seeking a remedy for you.

1 - Moving to Q and A

2 - keeping open as long as we follow the rules about NO Fraud.

Do all other functions work on it still? WiFi and music still play? I am just asking because you may be able to get use from it on att or an att user, if that Ia even possible but on my end it might a good chance to score a cheap gnote3 on Craig's list that's blocked. I have some dastardly things I could do to it if wifi still worked. It has great sound so I could use it as dedicated music player in my car. Muahahaha.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] NeoAndroid:
I think you should cut your loses. Sell it for a couple of hundred dollars and make sure you disclose what's up. Go to a T mobile store and purchase a new one. Since you're willing to pay the balance which is probably around 400 anyway, just use the money you made as a down payment and do monthly on the rest, I.e. JUMP

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EXUSIA:
Hey there

Backstory: Ive had my Sprint SGS3 for awhile and rooted it after I came across a root required application that promised faster youtube loading times called hola one day after using this app for awhile my SGS3 froze mid-video. I waited about 4 mins then pulled the battery out and my SGS3 hasn't been working since. That was about 5 months ago and I haven't used a phone since.

Current state: Now my SGS3 wont boot or go into to recovery mode so CWM or TWRP will not work in this case. The only thing my phone CAN do is go into download mode.

Now the catch to this story is I live in an all Mac hardware family, and setting up bootcamp is currently out of the question so my only other option currently is Heimdall. Now ive used Odin once to achieve root but other than that im not very familiar with either programs.

PLZ HALP: So now my question is if anyone can help me install a new rom step by step (point me in the right direction for the files and how to apply them via Heimdall) I was aiming to install Cyanogenmod 10.1 but quickly got confused, but I will settle with a stock 4.2 rooted rom.

I have limited knowledge of this and am at my wits end so I come here begging on my knees if anyone can help me

I've seen a few videos on how to use heimdall now but my issue remains the flashing. I downloaded a stock rom with root but I don't understand how to flash it. There is no .img file which heimdall requires.

Every other method I've seen requires custom recovery

Also sorry for the long response time. I've been having a very very bad week and its only getting worse
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.3-d2spr.img

download that and rename to recovery.img to make it easier. Flash it using heimdall and boot to it. I recommend you put your rom of choice on the external so and flash from that
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EXUSIA:

ERROR: Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence!

Ending session...

ERROR: Failed to send end session packet!

i need to install a entirely new rom via heimdall but i dont exactly know how.

i watch a youtube video for help and i get the basics but im still having trouble finding a rom that has .tar .img & zimage files in it that i can use to flash. thats my main problem
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
You could try http://www.rwilco12.com just make sure you download a tar or tar.gz file so you can extract the images from it. Only problem is that heimdall may be a no-go. I thought I heard something a while back about heimdall not working with the s3 after a certain firmware. You can save yourself so much headache and save a ton of time if you could just use Odin. You don't have any friends with a windows pc you could use?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josetheman:
Hello all, this is my first post on Android Central! I wanted to see if anyone had similar problems after converting their T-Mobile HTC One to GPE. I've been tinkering around with my phone for the last few weeks, first by rooting my One and trying out different roms, including a 4.3 GPE rom. When using this rom in particular, my phone would perform beautifully early in the day and in the evening (or sometimes after 50% battery) swiping between the home screen, scrolling, and opening apps would be noticeably slower and less buttery. Resetting the phone would normally correct the issue, at least until the next day.

Needless to say, this was the only downside of running stock Android so I decided to try out full GPE conversion to see that fixed the issue. I did a full wipe and ran the OEM RUU before rerooting, went S-OFF, and finally converted my phone to GPE. I installed the OTA update and everything was working fine until the slowness issues returned, essentially the same as before I converted?

Has anyone else had this problem? Is this being caused by a particular app or process? What kind of screenshots/logs would be helpful to find out what the issue is?

Thanks for all of your comments. I spent last night deleting apps I didn't use to see if I could find a culprit. As it turns out, the CPU management option in Battery Doctor was turned on.

I uninstalled the app completely, rebooted, and have actually seen a better battery life and NO sluggishness whatsoever all day today.

Hopefully this wasn't just a temporary solution to my problem!
