[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dakura:
Can you tell me what steps you follow when you try to install custom roms? Booting forever probably means you flashed something wrong or forgot to wipe.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imadiu:
I do the same for both Base ROMs and the other Newer ROMs.

Copy files on to SD Card

Reboot into Recovery

Factory reset

Install ROM and Gapps if needed

Factory reset again

Reboot

Boots forever for any 4.2.2 ROM and above / Success for Base ROMs
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Do this

Format in mounts and storage these things.

Data

System

Cache

Then in advanced wipe dalvik cache

Then flash rom and the right gapps and reboot when flash is done.

Don't wipe SD or emmc and also make sure you have the right gapps for 4.2.2 roms.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muthzer the One:
It definitely should work cause my phone is running the latest carbon rom (4.3.1) and i never had any problems except of some crashes ....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dakura:
Make sure you have I9100 and not any other variant,

Put your custom rom in internal sd card,

Go to recovery and use hawkerpauls wipe script before flashing: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2100558 ,

Make sure you are using the correct gapps, u can skip installing gapps and after installing custom rom and see if that is the problem, if its the problem use another gapps package.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jduntouchable:
Dear all,

I am a noob to android (just bought a nexus 10 and nexus 5 this month) I decided to root my devices. My nexus 10 was originally rooted with 4.3 and today an update popped up for 4.4. so I clicked restart and install, Now its stuck on the boot-up screen with the 4 dots moving around.

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2419292&stc=1&d=1385608235

How do I get it to start on 4.4. I do not mind losing all my stuff.. I also don't mind the stock android, as i never installed any custom roms.

I was a previous iOS user and thought it'd be fine to just update like I did on my jailbroken iOS device.

I would greatly appreciate if someone could give me simple steps to follow..

I'm really sorry if this question has been previously asked but I searched and everyone with my problem have uploaded screenshots of their computer.. i didnt use a computer to update..

I want to just wipe data/factory reset from the boot setting but I don't want to screw things up before confirming with you guys. Also I've got clockworkMod incase thats important

Thanks a lot for all the help!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
The update would have worked fine if you didn't have clock work mid installed. First thing to try to fix it is go into clock work mod recovery (hold power and volume buttons) then you can do a factory reset from there. If it still doesn't boot then just download wugfreshs toolkit. It will do it for you. I would tell you how to manually do it but since your new to android it may be better to get it done using a toolkit which is easier. In his toolkit there is an option for return to stock and from there just follow the instructions. You can search for wugs toolkit for nexus 10 and it should come up.

I had tried to install recovery and boot thing and that never worked out so I tried kindle fire utility to install fire fire fire but then everything went black except for green light so then I held it down till it powered off and now it does nothing even when I try to turn it on please help or else I'm dead by my mom

There you go.

This is for the FIRST GENERATION KINDLE FIREs.

If you use any tool on this forum, your device becoming a brick was inevitable. This is not the right forum, so do not blame the developers.

Good luck retrieving it.?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
I don't know how old you are or if you have a soldering iron but there is a way to fix it, I can provide the rest of the instructions he didn't add yet to flash the device. Here's the link to the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2415870

But if that is way above what you can do, if it hasn't been over a year since you purchased it just call amazon and tell them it won't then on and you can send it in for a new one for free.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khuzema9:
i have been using xposed framework and i wonder what if i just keep my phone rooted and stock and just install framework and tweak it the way i want about lock screen , navigation bar etc, what extra advantage these roms will give me , just asking
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
Only thing i can think of is the kernel, everything else can pretty much be done with xposed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wund3rground:
But you can still flash a Kernel over the Stock ROM...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
Right, i mean the question is kinda moot anyway if you're rooted you might as well flash a rom and kernal or just stay with a stock rom.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neomorphix:
Honestly this really is a question you need to ask yourself. If having Xposed is able to give you everything you need then stick with it. One thing custom can give you over Xposed mods is the ability to have modifications or fixes to the core of android. For example in the past issues present in the stock Nexus roms have been fixed and released in custom roms before google was able to push out an update to resolve it. Also many more performance enhacements can be done. such ans refactoring code or out right removing uneeded functions. But in the end honestly it just comes down to what works for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kongoll:
What is the best/safest way to install twrp? Will installing it through stock recovery via zip file be okay?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ifly4vamerica:
Download too manager app from the market. In the menu there is an option to install open recovery. You can also flash from Odin or recovery. I'd say too is the easiest as far as safest I'd say any of them are pretty safe.

Boot to twrp and then run a command prompt and write

Adb push nameoftherom.zip /data/media/0/

The Rom.zip will be placed then in the root of your sdcard and you 'll be able to flash it. Better transfer a Google edition 4.3 rom if you have already Google edition firmware. Otherwise flash ARHD31 and see if you can get s-off and make things even better :)

ROOT GUIDE FOR T-MOBILE PRISM II AKA HUAWEI U8686 (ASSUMING YOU HAVE ADB INSTALLED).​

1)BOOTLOADER UNLOCK CODE PROCEDURE

First this you need to unlock your bootloader, and Huawei requires unlock code to do so. (HINT BACKUP YOUR DATA, THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE).

a.You will need to obtain this by sending an email to Huawei. It usually takes less than two hours and they generate the code and give it you.

b.I know you will say why not get it via their automated website. Model U8686 doesn’t exist, so stop being lazy and send an email to mobile@huawei.com

Use the below format.

c.Once you got unlock code, move to Step 2.

2)BOOTLOADER STATUS CHECK

a.First thing is to enable USB debug mode in developer settings.

b.Now connect the phone using USB to your computer.

d.Open command prompt and type the following command

e.You will get result like

f.Turn off the phone and hold volume down and power button, keep holding and wait 30 secs. It will be standing still at T-Mobile Logo.

g.Now run a command

h.You should see something like this

i.If it says offline, you will need to install drivers, and make sure your adb updated.

j.Next type in following command

k.It will output something like this

l.If you are locked go to Step 3

3)UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER (THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE TO FACTORY)

a.I assume you are still in fastboot, so you will type the following command.

– replace 12345343434 with your unlock code.

b.It will do it’s magic.

c.To confirm your bootloader is unlocked, go in Bootloader, type

d.You will see something like this.

e.Congrats, now you are unlocked. Move to Step 4

4)ROOTING YOUR PHONE

a.Make sure your phone is on and connect to PC with Wire, and Debug mode is on.

b.Download & Open Kingo Android Root (Google the name)

c.Follow Kingo’s Instructions, and you will be rooted in less than 2 minutes.

d.Enjoy the Root!
