Please read the OP (below). I am in serious need of assistance. I am attaching an updated Logcat to this Edited OP. Please read through the Log if you do not mind, and let me know what all you think may be going on here. I am getting a little frustrated to be honest. There is rarely that time when I have run across a problem that I could not fix with a bunch of reading, and study. But, this quite frankly is a bear that won't go away. I will not leave this problem unresolved. And I hope that with the friendly folks here at XDA that together we can resolve one more issue. I know there are others that are suffering from a similar issue. People just get too intimidated to ask questions sometimes. I can say that after almost 3 weeks of reading, I am far from afraid of asking for an assist. So, again, Thank You to anybody willing to help. I will attach the Logcat to this Edited post.

edit:20131128_0747mst-ev_attachment(1)

Briefly: I had the honor of meeting a fellow XDA Member in person by total accident. Together we have been attempting to troubleshoot her DNA. She has been working to resolve the following issue for a couple of months, and I have been reading endlessly & searching endlessly for a solution to the following problem. Please give any advice that you are capable of giving. Thank you.

The issue we are having is that once we get the ROM completely loaded (Venom v. 2.01) & the device boots up completely, as soon as the screen is touched the phone flashes back to the white HTC screen and begins to bootloop! I had the wise idea to check inside the phone thinking it may be a grounding issue. Sure enough there were 3 screws missing. Still this did not solve the problem.

Is there a step we are missing? Is there another issue that others may have had that is similar or that you have resolved prior?

We have even reflashed the stock RUU by relocking the bootloader, then unlcoking, reloading the recovery, and again the ROM. Still have the same issue. Anybody have any input? I know this is kind of a brief explanation, but I tend to get long winded. Below is the information for what is currently running.

Unlocked,MONARUDO PVT SHIP S-OFF, CID=22222222, H-Boot - 1.33.0001, Radio - 1.00.00.1023_3, OpenDSP - v4.120.240.0920 eMMC-booT, Oct 23, 2012, 21:34:05, Running TWRP Recovery v 2.06 ROM - ViperDNA 2.01 Sense5

P.S. I have a similar issue with an HTC Sensation that I have been working on for a while. However, the issue with the Sensation is something to do with the aftermarket digitizer and the firmware loaded on the chip on the digitizer and something to do with the diagnostic software. I am stuck there too as I am unable to get the pyramid.nbh file to load correctly.
[HTC Droid DNA] javierarenas:
Did you have this problem with stock rom?

Please you should get a logcat from this phone. I am guessing a problem with the touch screen or battery.

Still having this issue. Even with the Stock Rom. I am also unable to upgrade via OTA to the newer firmware releases as I am unable to keep the phone on long enough to use it, plus the touch screen/digitizer I believe is the main problem.

I read another article online about how HTC utilizes a digitizer which uses resistive (sp sorry) feedback on their touchscreens. It really has me thinking that this issue can be similar to the issue I am having with my Sensation. That issue is digitizer related, and happens with aftermarket digitizers. There is a way to fix the issue with the sensation however. I can post another logcat if any member is willing to lend me their eyes & knowledge? Or you can just use the logcat above.

Thinking about joining another discussion in the mean time. I am slightly concerned for this thread is a developer thread, and I don't quite have the chops to hang with the dev's. Although I do understand a majority of what they are saying, and can even put into practice the things they are doing. Ability to read & comprehend is a wonderful gift.

GEL works with quite a lot of lags. A reboot made it a little bit quicker."OK Google"works great from the homescreen. I think it needs to be optimized a lot for the tablets.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Carw:
Also got it and yep it needs some optimization for tablets. Running very laggy at times. It would be really cool to have and I like the minimalistic style

Hi guys!

Can be used HTC One Sprint in GSM networks?

And maybe it insert sim card?

Thank you!
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
I'm trying to put together a composite image for a new default.png screensaver for my rooted NST (anything but the dreaded Brontes.....). Seems to me the sensible thing is to include the little box that appears when you first plug in the USB cable. But where it is located? I've been looking through all the folders and sub-folders using Root Browser but can't locate it. Maybe it's not an actual image?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Han Solo 1:
Okay so on two different roms that I’m trying to flash through TWRP I’m getting failure errors.

I’m doing a factory reset first, then wiping dalvik, system, and cache, then flashing the rom, then I get a red failure error.

The log says “symlink: some symlinks failed”,

“E: Error executing updater binary in zip ‘sdcard/XXXX’”

“Error flashing zip ‘/sdcard/XXXX.zip’,

“Updating partition details. . . .”

then a red “Failed”

Any ideas?

I've tried flashing hammerhead's Cataclysm and the Speed roms. Both get same failures. Both have right MD5's.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanaysood:
I have seen some cases where a bad flash of TWRP caused these issues. Sometimes re-flashing TWRP solves the issue, have you tried that?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Han Solo 1:
Ok. So via ADB, I will reboot into bootloader, reflash TWRP, and see if that works.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Han Solo 1:
Well that's weird. Just for kicks I redownloaded the rom and tried again.

Everything went smoothly this time.

Strange. What are the odds I had two bad downloads?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It would have been via fastball not adb :)

Try SprintDB www.kaione.com

I use it and it is brilliant, its like having full blown Microsoft Access on the ocket PC, Macros. modules, forms, queries, the works
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] steiale:
But Sprint DB hasn't been developed for a long time.. as I see so far.. Does it work good on a WM5? Also in landscape mode and so on..

Alex
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sandgrownun:
if its for commercial use what about Oracle Lite with Mobile Server.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kelford:
The latest I heard from Kaione was that they were working on a WM5 version, but I've been using even the existing version with no problems since I got the Universal. It's fine in landscape mode as that was developed for WM2003SE compatibility.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Melty:
Depending on what you actually want to do, SQLCE is really good. We use it at work, but you'd need to do some programming to use it!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] steiale:
Unfortunately I am not so good in programming databases. Would be nice if I could import some XLS or TXT lists and could design a nice form for the device for viewing..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] halljames:
SprintDB IS being actively developed, just before christmas I became a beta tester for their version 3 of sprintDB.

It works perfectly on WM5 and in landscape. It is a fab product, much easier and better features than all of the others I have tried.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicolasgr:
Hi All,

I'm new to cyanogenmod and just installed CM 10.1.3 (Android 4.2.2) following the heimdall/OSX guide but I'm having some problems to restore my data from the previous Samsung 4.3 installation.

I took a backup before installing cyanogenmod by using the Android SDK adb command

./adb backup -apk -shared -all -f backupname.ab

but that seems to have taken a full system backup as a single file and not possible to recover any of my files individually..

Unfortunately I didn't had my phone contacts to be synced with a gmail accounts as I wanted to keep them separate for synchronising with my email contacts but this doesn't seem to be an option with the current cyanogenmod version, you can't create a local contact on the phone but the any new contact you add must be part of an online account like gmail..

Giving the current circustances Is there an easy way I could restore all my files (app settings/contacts/photos) to my phone ? Can some one help me and tell me how ? My thught is to restore the previous 4.3 Android version from Samsung and root my phone to take single backups using Titanium backup but I don't know how well this will work ...

couple of more questions :

1) Is there an easy way to restore my phone Samsung ROM (and data) previously as it was before installing cyanogenmod with the adb backup file ?

2) Can you point me to a good howto in order to root my cyanogenmod (OSX preferable)

3) Once I have cyanogenmod configured will all my data, what' the best way to keep backups ? is the adb command usefull in that case ?

Sorry for the many questions.

Thanks in advance,

Nicolas.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Jim M:
I'm trying to understand what the improvements are over MF9? I've read a bunch of different topics, the question has been asked by others, but no straight forward answers have been given.

It seems to me at this point I should just stay with MF9, everything works.

Thoughts and what is better with MJ9?

TIA
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leaderbuilder:
There is no reason to upgrade for you. If you like you ROM stay there. Moving to a new one may just cause you grief and frustration - it's the same but different. Kind of like a newer model of car. You still drives it the same, just a little smoother and faster. It just works a little different and some controls are located differently.

However, here in the XDA world, most are techno geek folks; developers and tweakers that want to learn and play with the newest stuff.

So if you see no reason, do not take the jump.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] daniel4653:
BTW there is a thread of 50,000 views in general section dedicated to the discussion of MJA update. I suggest going over there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mattcoxxx:
I would just stay on mf9 if I were you.Since the update I severely bricked my phone flashing roms and restoring from backup.Luckily I was able to get it working and back to stock.I'm now hoping the knox bootloader will one day be removed.I've even emailed Samsung telling them how much I don't like the bootloader and if they had a way to downgrade.They replied"We should inform you that as of now it is not possible to downgrade the firmware version once it is updated to the latest version available. If there was any option, we would have surely helped.

However, we will surely take this as a feedback from you and forward it to the appropriate department for further review and consideration".

Stay on mf9 and that's all im saying.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] optimummind:
MJA for me has brought improvements in smoothness, speed, and a little bit of battery life. I also like the under-the-hood improvements of 4.3, such as TRIM support.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Jim M:
Thanks for everyone's comments. I was curious as to what differences between the 2 were.

I did update to MJA and kept the MF9 bootloader.

Everything is working just great and I can always go back to MF9 if I had to.

For those that may want to know I think mostly this update was to address security issues and a few other cosmetic changes.

My name is Jim and I'm a flashaholic.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] J0eggernaut:
My s4 is slightly more responsive. I am rooted on MJA.

I did update my baseband (radios) to MJA and saw a noticeable improvement in LTE speeds compared to MF9. I think I read somewhere sprint made available the tri-band with the new update to software and the towers to increase LTE speeds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] daniel4653:
But you have to know that it won't affect our S4's because they are not triband.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] J0eggernaut:
Well it must be just slightly improved radio quality signal allowing for a slight bump in LTE speed. I just read and you are correct in that our phones are only dual band but sprint is planning to release a tri-band s4 later.

They should offer some kind of trade-in program.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] toastedjelly:
Where to begin?

I upgraded from Paranoid Android (Android 4.3.1 variant) to KITKAT 4.4 which I believe has turned my phone into an LG E960? Nexus 4.

After some data issues with 4.4 I decided to go back to PA and things seemed OK for a day or two outside of com.android.phone crashes once in a while. Then a random power cycle (initiated by me) brought me to a softbrick? beyond repair (at least every flash/fix seems to do little)

I have been able to boot into both DLmode and Recovery (TWRP 2.6) since this problem began but nothing allows me past either of those or any of the following : LG Logo (reached after my 8th or 9th teenybin attempt, and first attempt at flashing stock teeny. OR the Google logo with tiny unlock symbol at bottom.

I became frustrated and wiped everything (formatted data) through TWRP and have failed miserably with every attempt to sideload or lgnpst both .zips and .bins respectively. Now any attempt to sideload results in a "failed" attempt as it there is no folder "TWRP/Backups/......."

I have tried LGFLASHTOOL and followed directions to a T. but the issue here seems to be this. LGFLASHTOOL recognizes my phone as the LG E960 and states the LG LS970.dll isn't compatible with my phone.

Is there anybody out there that can make sense of my ranting explanations here?

The two MAIN problems troubling me seem to be this:

1) The phone is being recognized as the E960 via FLASHTOOL thus any LS970 flash or file creates a not compatible error.

2)Though TWRP seems functional, it is maybe only partially so. It wants to access a folder within itself that isn't there TWRP/Backups/....(specific random backup number)

ANY help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. I have been at this for a day and a half.

p.s. a very odd side note. One sideload rom I flashed was Carbon, which failed to boot initially. I DID manage to have teenybin unlock, flash and reboot the phone directly into Carbon (with no data or gapps) and was able to usb over a couple .zips before getting an error "cannot be copied because device has been disconnected or has stopped responding" I thought I was in the clear and booted back into recovery via the carbon rom to flash gapps only to revert right back to my initial problem(s).......

WTF! I am lost. I've had this phone for almost a year and have used LGNPST more than a couple times with great success. I've flashed, unbricked and restored this phone and many others multiple times over the years (i.e. not a noob) Just effing dumbfounded.

edit: I have searched and read through countless threads in an attempt to find a fix for my problem with no luck. I've searched constantly to find a fix with no luck.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
That was a lot of info. :confused: So lets see if you've tried these things yet.

Are you sure you don't still have the att TWRP to flash KK?

Flash TWRP 2.5.0.0

And try to flash a Stock ROM.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] octhrope:
to get sideload to work: there is an option to make a log. it will make the partition writable after a format. had a similar issue when i first go the phone.

otherwise use an img. not a teeny bin and go back to stock zvb.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] toastedjelly:
I noticed in bootloader it references the device as mako, with a bootloader version of MAKOZ10f

I'll try TWRP v2.5.00 now. I just downloaded a Stock ZVC build.

I feel dumber and dumber as this process drags on. But appreciate the replies. I now realize my OP wasn't full of a ton of specific information. Sorry.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] toastedjelly:
in TWRP (still 2.6) I went into Advanced and ran 'Copy Log to SD' a button/feature I have always saw before, and never used.

I'm going to try to install TWRP 2.5 back onto the device first per previous post(er) and then I'll run this again before I try to install a stock rom.

Thanks for the idea.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] toastedjelly:
I've used fastboot to flash twrp 2.5 and proceeded to 'Copy log to SD' before attempting to sideload stock rom.

In CMD this error is now returned when using commnd "adb sideload update.zip" :

failed to write data 'protocol fault <no status>

LGNPST method still giving same results. Gets to 85% error (I know this is normal) but when rebooting, boots to nothingness/black screen after quick glimpse of Google logo....
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
Glad to hear ZVC almost worked for you.

If you can get into fastboot, you can install a different TWRP. fastboot erase recovery then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Or in TWRP flash a different TWRP, octhrope has them all here. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47679587&postcount=123

EDIT. Yeah... I was slow. lol

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------

2 things:

Are you running as admin in the CMD prompt?

Make sure to use USB 2.0. Not USB 3.0

After LGNPST, press and hold the power button+vol up for 20sec+. Then press power+vol up again and maybe TWRP?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] toastedjelly:
A similar thing happened when flashing a stock ZVB rom via lgnpst. This time it hit 85% and rebooted past Googe and hung briefly on the LG logo. It started to boot and ran the "optimizing apps" function. It loaded the OS and a couple seconds later rebooted itself back into the hanging LG logo bit. :(

In using sideload, I had COMPLETELY forgot to "erase recovery" before flashing a new one. Maybe that was causing the issue? Flashing a recovery over a recovery. Time to try sideload again.....
[Sprint LG Optimus G] foxsdaddy67:
When it gets back to lg logo and goes no further then turn it off and get back in recovery and do a factory reset
[Sprint LG Optimus G] toastedjelly:
WOOOOOOO that did it for me! I'm now on stock 4.1.2 LMAO. I used LGNPST to get a stock (rooted) ZVB build onto it. I let it reboot and sit on the LG logo for 10 minutes to err on the side of caution, Then powered down and back into recovery to do a factory reset.

It can make calls and connect to wifi. But no data. Probably just need to flash the zvb radio but again I'm almost scared to turn off/reboot/update anything at this point. Just happy to see the phone back after 2 plus days all jacked up.

Thanks for the help everyone!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] foxsdaddy67:
Ive had that happen before and it was the only thing that i could find that would work. glad it worked for you

try updating your PRL and Profile now might get data back
[Sprint LG Optimus G] toastedjelly:
I managed to do a complete back-up in TWRP of the fully functional 4.1.2 I got up and running. My data (wifi + lte) came back after I eventually flashed the correct radio.

I'm going to maybe stay stock for a couple days. I honestly can't remember the last time I used stock Android on my phone....

Right now I'm attempting to update it to zvc because i'm impatient. Fingers crossed.....
[Sprint LG Optimus G] foxsdaddy67:
Normally I run stock rooted. Can't beat the battery life on stock. Running asop kit Kat right now
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Lemonada8:
Sorry for the noon post but in school n forgot about rooting n such and dint have much time to relearn...

What's the best way to go back to purr stock and keep root?

I'm on the latest doom kernel n curiosity Rom, and having issues with lag and battery, out of memory alot with zynga poker...etc. Thinkin it may be just old and time for a refresh on that stuff...

Also the only thing I wanna keep are my texts backed up,vis there a specific option for that in cwrp?( the non touch screen recovery?

And for some reason droid explorer isn't working in my laptop (for batch reinstall programs) is there another way to do that?

Thanks in advance!!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
relock your bootloader

don't turn it on you will get a bootloop, but don't worry, its just the wrong kernel.

flash a ftf of your choice but exclude data to keep your apps

root

Done
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Lemonada8:
Ok thanks!! Now that I am on break I got.time to figure this out :)

I'm betting there are guides on doing the steps above? I think I still have the email with the code I had to use, but I'll work on it. Thanks!!

Also, any idea why droid explorer isn't working? Or is there another program that is similar that I can use?

(this is what is going on with droid explorer, just realized how can u have a idea why it's not worki.g when I haven't said what is wrong lol!)

Basically it's saying I don't have the sdk installed (I think it's ask, the developer stuff u need from the android site) I've tried reinstalling both And still not working, I've used it before and really like it (easy to batch install apps, I need to clean them out anyways lol) but any hints on what to do?

Anyways thanks! I love this site, is very helpful for people like me who are interested in this sort of stuf2f but don't have the knowledge needed.to really figure it.out (mainly because went another direction for life, but I am still very intrigued by this kinda stuff!!) so thanks for the great support here and everything!!
