[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the lemming:
Hello

Thank you for replying but I fear that I will not be following your advice at the moment.

I initially asked how to ROOT my phone so that I can learn how to do backups and recoveries. My phone is ready for the Over The Air official upgrade.

I want to take things one step at a time rather than causing problems by blindly following code.

Sorry
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filip.st6:
If you want official OTA update of KitKat you should update it, and after that unlock bootloader and root phone. That way nothing will go wrong.

If you unlock bootloader and root your phone OTA update will cause problems like stuck in bootloop(your phone will be stuck on nexus logo and it will never boot into android)

If you want to learn about rooting I suggest you this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2367406

this is excelent tutorial how to root your nexus 4 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2018179

and if you are more comfortable to hear and see somebody do it you can check out this page it have video of full process and pictures for every step http://nexus4root.com/nexus-4-root/how-to-root-nexus-4-windowsmac-osxlinuxubuntu/

Good luck!:cyclops:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the lemming:
This process is an absolute nightmare.

All I want to do is back-up my Jelly Bean phone operating system and have it safe in case the OTA Kit Kat goes wrong. I thought that this was sensible and safe practice before doing any updates, especially something as serious as a system update?

I have now tried several Tutorials on how to root my phone and all I have succeeded in doing is wiping my phone clean and returning it to Factory Settings. The latest Tutorial was here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2010312

I followed the following advice to this point

1) All of the files that are required, need to be in one (i.e., the same) directory. It does not matter what it is called, but all the files need to be in there, with NO subfolders. EVERYTHING needs to be extracted into this one directory;

2) Download the attachment from the end of this post and extract the contents to the directory created in step 1. (Latest version for Windows is here). Note: if all you want to do is unlock your bootloader, skip to step 7 in this section (C).

7) Reboot your device into bootloader mode (by turning it off, hold volume down, and press and hold power) and plug it into your computer;

8) Open a command prompt in the same directory (i.e., make sure you are in the same directory as your files are located). You can hold the shift key when you are in the folder in Windows explorer and right-click in a blank spot and it will open a command prompt.

I then get to the bit about rooting

E. Optional -- Root

If you want to get root access follow the steps below. (And no, this will not flash a custom recovery, and not, it will not make you "not stock".) Unlocked bootloader required. See steps above.

1) Download (to your computer) the latest version of CWM (from here) or TWRP (from here) for your device;

http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager/

http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager/developers/mako?name=Google Nexus 4

And when I click the link I am blinded by options. This is a nightmare.

Could somebody please cut through all this hyperbole and just explain how I get ROOT?

I have been at this for 24 hours solid.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
The point you are missing is that your fear is clouding your ability to simply read and comprehend the proper steps to take. My friend rooting your phone with a toolkit is a simple task but you ask what is Wugs toolkit instead of taking the time to search for it an read up. YOu do not want to root your phone but to have someone do it for you. I used to do this for people back in the days where I would log into their pc and root their phones from my home.

My friend its simple your bootloader is unlocked and now all you need to do is push a recovery over to your phone. Now go to the TWRP thread and download the image file and follow the instructions given to you to flash the recovery. I fear if following these simple directions are too much for you maybe you should simply leave your phone alone before the next step is you calling Google with an issue or having to buy another phone...

Sorry but thats my honest opinion....

Edit: Boot into bootloader and check to see if its says unlocked. If so then all thats left is flashing a recovery
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taodan:
Reading your posts, I understand your frustration. Here are my suggestions, 1) step away from your PC for a few minutes or an hour or get a cup of water, 2) put the phone aside, 3) read and re-read the information in Google Nexus 4 threads just to get the knowledge first and then start working on your phone. You will be doing fine. BTW, you should have a back up phone that you can use while working on your Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the lemming:
Thank you for this useful bit of information.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
You got it man I know but sometimes the truth hurts... You have been given all the information laid out for you in the posts above. If this is still too difficult for you your only other task is to actually have somebody do it for you this is nothing more than simply reading and taking your time. I tell you this with all sincerity I would rather see you stop now than later see another thread created by you saying possibly bricked

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arffrhn:
I trust that you have read the entire guide from that link you post. To get you see this clearly. Rooting is very easy. You just have to:

1. Install driver, download platform-tools (if you don't wanna download the entire android sdk) and SuperSU I trust that all the links are given in that guide.

2. Make sure you device is detected in adb. Copy SuperSU.zip into your device.

3. Unlock your device.

4. Push recovery. fastboot flash recovery recovery name.img

5. Reboot into recovery and flash SuperSu.zip

6. Reboot. Done.

Really..this is all it takes to perform a simple rooting. But if you're not the one who likes to read..and try to understand the steps. I suggest you not to mess with your device. You are more likely to brick it than make it better. The truth hurts but it is for your own good. Unless you prove me wrong. Then you are awesome instead:D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] unc2k3:
Hello everyone! Long time reader of these forums and first time posting. Let me begin by expressing my gratitude for all the hard work you guys put into helping the rest of us with our phones.

I am hoping to get some clarification on what to do before I sell my phone. I have a Sprint GS4 unlocked and running Blu Kuban/TWRP. Due to the excessive amount of travel for work, I am making the switch to AT&T and have a buyer for my phone. This buyer, however, is requesting that I keep the phone unlocked and rooted. I made a NAND backup prior to installing the rom.

What are the appropriate steps I should take to ensure my data is completely wiped and that the phone remains rooted and unlocked? I have read up on it somewhat (and think I know what to do) , but I would rather fall on the side of caution and get personal direction. I am trying to avoid having to unlock and re-flash the phone again.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

You wrote that goto different on different Rom. And how to learn how to insert "goto" here?

:cond_2b7

move v0, v1

goto/16 :goto_55

goto/16 :goto_23

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] majdinj:
The code for "CscFeature_Setting_EnableMenuBlockCallMsg" in Settings.smali before editing is looked like this:

.line 596
invoke-static {}, Lcom/sec/android/app/CscFeature;->getInstance()Lcom/sec/android/app/CscFeature;

move-result-object v3

const-string v6, "CscFeature_Setting_EnableMenuBlockCallMsg"

invoke-virtual {v3, v6}, Lcom/sec/android/app/CscFeature;->getEnableStatus(Ljava/lang/String;)Z

move-result v3

if-nez v3, :cond_23

.line 598
invoke-interface {p1, v0}, Ljava/util/List;->remove(Ljava/lang/Object;)Z

goto/16 :goto_23

Usually the condition values (cond_xxx), goto values (goto_xxx) will differ according to ROM firmware, device or compiler used.

After you made all changes to this code, copy the last 2 lines and paste them at the end of the method. Here the last 2 lines are:

.line 596
invoke-static {}, Lcom/sec/android/app/CscFeature;->getInstance()Lcom/sec/android/app/CscFeature;

move-result-object v3

const-string v6, "CscFeature_Setting_EnableMenuBlockCallMsg"

invoke-virtual {v3, v6}, Lcom/sec/android/app/CscFeature;->getEnableStatus(Ljava/lang/String;)Z

move-result v3

if-nez v3, :cond_23

.line 598
[B][COLOR="Blue"]invoke-interface {p1, v0}, Ljava/util/List;->remove(Ljava/lang/Object;)Z

goto/16 :goto_[COLOR="Red"]23[/COLOR][/COLOR][/B]

Whatever goto_value you have, just copy it..!!

And to call these 2 lines, add the condition definition line before these 2 lines, so it can be called by your new line "if-eqz v3, :cond_majdinj". So it will be like this at the end:

:cond_majdinj
invoke-interface {p1, v0}, Ljava/util/List;->remove(Ljava/lang/Object;)Z

goto/16 :goto_[B][COLOR="Red"]23[/COLOR][/B]
.end method

And sorry for late response,, I got things to do here buddy ;)

Hi mate.

Quick question on the tilt effect one.

you say to replace the v13 file with the const value that is found at the top of the method,

im using 4.4.2 and the new launcher doesn't have the above, here is what the new one has:

.method protected onCreate(Landroid/os/Bundle;)V
.locals 13
.parameter "savedInstanceState"

.prologue
.line 318
invoke-virtual {p0}, Landroid/app/Activity;->getApplication()Landroid/app/Application;

move-result-object v1

check-cast v1, Lcom/android/launcher2/LauncherApplication;

.line 319
.local v1, app:Lcom/android/launcher2/LauncherApplication;
invoke-static {}, Lcom/sec/android/app/CscFeature;->getInstance()Lcom/sec/android/app/CscFeature;

any ideas what I should do?

thanks.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vonotny:
I'm using the Xperia V running the latest Jelly Bean stock firmware (see my signature). I while ago, my phone started to spontaneously reboot itself, sometimes during standby, sometimes while I had the screen on. I know that others had this issue as well, but none of the threads I found were really helpful.

I can't really explain this, as I didn't change anything in he past couple weeks. The only thing that happened was that I once dropped from about 1m in our living room, but I doubt that that would cause such a problem.

As for software, I'm using the Aviate launcher, and I have Android Tuner installed which helps to keep my memory free and reduce battery usage. AT is set to kill background processes when the screen is turned off, and important processes are all excluded from that. But again, I haven't changed anything in the past couple weeks before the reboot issue suddenly appeared, so I doubt it's any of the software I use.

So, does anyone have any ideas as to what might be the cause of this? It seems to happen less frequently when using WiFi instead of 3G. Might 3G be the cause? (I'm just guessing wildly, I really have no clue as to what causes what in an Android phone.)

Hi, I have recently purchased a Lenovo yoga tab 8 and I like its design but there a few things that are bugging me and i would like to find a solution to:

1. The ROM it is not very slick or user friendly and i would much rather have something more standard if someone could adapt something like cyanogenmod or PAC mod to work with my tablet :)

2. The processor is a bit sluggish so is there any safe ways of overclocking and raising the clock speed of the processor?

Thanks in advance
