[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youssef26500:
Hello everyone,

So I have just tried to push the 4.3 OTA update onto a rooted HTC One.

The phone was running TWRP but I pushed the stock recovery onto it before I tried to do the OTA.

After the OTA finished downloading the phone prompted me to restart and I restarted it. It looked fine but then I looked over and it now has a red exclamation mark over a picture of the phone.

I have the adb files and the fastboot files.

Can I fix this or is my phone bricked?

If i hold down the power button the capacitive buttons on the bottom of the phone flash and nothing happens.

I have a nandroid backup on a usb and I have an OTG cable as well.

Thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youssef26500:
Ok, I've somehow fixed it :)

I left the device for a while then it came up with install failed and it allowed me to reboot into Sense.

From there I rebooted into the bootloader and loaded TWRP 2.6.3.3 onto the phone. I then used a USB OTG cable to move a nandroid backup onto the phone which I made a few days back.

So, ive only lost minimal data.

Thanks

[Moto X Q&A] GreenMunky:
So I dropped and dinged my phone the other day. It's not bad, entirely cosmetic, and isolated to a corner of the back cover. I found the iFixit article showing how to take the back cover off to replace it.

The back cover is secured in place with an adhesive pad which needs to be warmed up and softened to remove it. Once removed, if I were to replace the back cover with a new one, do I need a new adhesive pad, or can the original still be used to hold the new cover?

My seconds question; is the accent color ring around the camera removed when removing the back cover, or is it attached to the camera mount itself?

These questions didn't seem to be addressed in the teardown, anyone know?

[Moto X Q&A] gochiefs:
The back cover does have adhesive but not much. If you can get your fingernail in the crack you should be able to work around and unsnap it. The accent ring and the camera lens are attached to the back cover. There is a thread in the accessories section with people that have bought the replacement backs and switched over the camera lens and accent.

Please excuse my poor English and my (possibly) dumb question

If I flash a certain kernel on my phone (this one for example: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2449408), will I lose it and second I get a new nightly update? Does a kernel need to be re-flashed after every update?

There is a q&a section for stuff like that.

Nightlies can still be updated. You need to reflash the kernel then.

Hi!

You can easily boot a custom recovery and then install the SuperSU.zip from there ;).

1 - Download the SuperSU zip from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip.

2 - Copy it to your Nexus 10 root folder (the one where it's located Download, DCIM, Android, etc)

3 - Download the .img file from here: http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/128, then rename it to recovery.img

4 - Copy it to your fastboot/adb folder (if you doesn't have one search for how to get it)

5 - Plug your Nexus 10 in your PC

6 - Turn USB Debugging on (Settings --> About Tablet --> Press many times Build Number --> Developer Options --> On --> USB Debugging)

7 - Open a cmd in your PC and go to your adb/fastboot folder, then type:

adb reboot bootloader
(When the screen turns on you type) fastboot boot recovery.img

Wait for it to turn on and then click install, select the SuperSU.zip and then confirm. Then it's done :). If you can't get this way working you can try one of the many tools in the Development thread. I'm sure one will work with you ;).

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] egandt:
Issues with rooting (4.4), stuck after flashing recovery

I just got my Nexus 10, and unlocked the boot loader, then flashed the custom recovery. All was fine, and I could boot into recovery, however recovery can not mount any filesystems. So I rebooted, now the Nexus does not boot, but hangs on the intro animation, normally meaning in my experience that the kernel is looped and is no longer finding (or else) booting the OS. I've tried booting 3 times.

So then, the steps I took,

enable USB debugging

were copy over the zip file for supersu

reboot to (fastboot mode), verify device

unlock boot loader "fastboot oem unlock"

flash the recovery "recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.3-manta"

reboot into recovery

Failed to mount filesystems

for instance "E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command or E:Can't mount /sdcard .... (you get the idea).

rebooting again a leaving it does nothing.

I also tried side loading a new image in my case "ThunderKat_manta-KRT16S-20131201" and after installing the "UniversalAdbDriverSetup", I was able to do so, I also was also able to side load the google apps "GoogleAppsPack-4.4-20131128", in both cases I get a success message after the install, however there after when I attempt to reboot I'm still stuck looking at the boot animation.

Now I'm really confused as if if the OS was destroyed when I unlocked the device, then side load of the zip contains a new kernel and OS image so it should be working, but it is not. In fact, recovery while still working throws the same can not mount exceptions after the flash as it did before (I rebooted) as I was previously getting and a factory reset, fails to mount /data, but does flash /cache and sd-ext without issues, so again I'm lost as to what to do.

Best guess I have is that partitions such as /data are just missing, I have no idea the state of teh device in such a case, but recovery and side loading using adb are working, how do I recover a working ANDROID OS from here?

Thanks,

ERIC

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xing369:
Many thanks for the detailed explanation, bro!

Still got following questions:

So do I need to enable "USB Debugging" 1st before unlocking Bootloader?

Although I successfully installed SuperSU, but still lack of SU power, those apps required SU access are not working at all.

the kitkat poisons me... sigh...

Thanks again!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
If you are going to follow the commands he listed in step 7 then yes you need to enable "USB Debugging" before you go ahead and unlock the Bootloader. Installing SuperSU alone will not give you root access, you need to flash the SuperSU .zip file in recovery as the end of step 7 mentions to properly gain root access. If your still confused about anything or have any questions let me know I'll be happy to help you :).
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xing369:
Thanks for your kind offering of hands!

Last night I tried again to re-flashed latest TWRP as well as latest SuperSU.

I ran 2x Root Checker,

1 said rooted,

1 said no root access, no BusyBox available.

I tried some apps like GMD Gesture, no working or no root access.

So,

Should I redo everything: enable USB Debugging then unlock bootloader then flash CWM then install SuperSU?

I initially gone thru above steps w/o enabling USB Debug..

Many thanks!

Haven't run a 4.4 Rom yet. Is there a toggle somewhere to pick which one to use?
[General Questions and Answers] dragonhart6505:
Is there currently, or will there ever be, any development for custom recoveries or roms for the ZTE N800 Awe?

Picked this up on Black Friday for $20 and it is by far one of the best phones I've owned yet, which is saying something. Just look at my signature. And I have a half-bricked GSIII I'm close to having fixed but for the while this ZTE Awe is phenomenal! After rooting, unlocked its (for whatever reason) locked 2nd core and it seriously flies. Gaming isnt an issue, even if it is a bit underpowered. COD: BOZ runs like a champ, Modern Combat 4, Nova 3...and thats WITHOUT the 2nd core unlocked to save battery. If we had some serious development for kernels and roms this phone would be an absolute gem. When I get a few free moments I'll update with a Quadrant score and as a bonus a recording (yes, live gameplay from the device itself) of me playing something.

C'mon devs! Please make this happen?!

Edit: Overclock achieved! Quadrant score from my own most recent test at 1.94ghz performance on both cores. Was getting higher scores but I got too much crap on my phone >_< Check out http://www.androidforums.com/awe-all-things-root for the tut and test for yourself!:good::good::good:

[General Questions and Answers] marblekit:
I also got this phone on Black Friday and it's a decent phone with the Snapdragon 400 CPU. MSM8630 dual core at 1.2 ghz. I rooted with Cydia Impactor and themed with Kit Kat bootanimation and UI sounds :)

How do you know if the second core is active? Is it automatically active when you root it?

I wanted to put CWM recovery on this but can't seem to find a method to get it on here.... does anyone know?

I've tried to install the new Google Experience Launcher on this phone even though it is running 4.1.2 with the latest Google Search apk but as soon as I run the launcher I get a force close from Google Search. I can't get it to work. I even tried replacing the library file with no success... I think something else is running in the background that is conflicting but I don't know how to find out what it is....

My wifi seems to lock up after the phone has been on for a few hours and I have to reboot it to get it to come back... any clues as to why that is happening?
[General Questions and Answers] dragonhart6505:
the 2nd core needs to be activated with any CPU tweaker. i use Android Tuner Pro, gives LOTS of options that have sped up my phone. also a free version.

there isnt any CWM or TWRP or any custom recoveries at all yet, which is why i was making the request. also (as you could imagine) no roms.

Google Experience Launcher isnt gonna work on this phone. tried myself, ended up locking up the phone and had to restore and reroot to be able to use it again. i use Nova Launcher. best there is in my opinion. Apex was pretty amazing too, but hogged a little too much memory.

My wifi keeps turning itself on even after i turn it off. i dont have wifi except at work so its useless to me. dunno why that is. did you get the Application Enhancement update? dont know what it was really for, but it went through anyway.

Ive reached over 5300 a time or too. There may be a way of getting it on Boost Mobile, as I have obtained my MSL using MEID Converter from the Play Store quite easily. ZTE is really stingy with their source for the kernel, even though it is hosted on their site. Maybe someone can snag it and work with it. I'm not much of a programmer and dont understand a lot of the framework. I only customize, flash roms, test and unlock/flash to different carriers where available. I'm trying to learn how to build for the GSIII, but so far I'm just getting headaches lol. Id be more than willing to put my device up for testing anything if someone could come up with something.

I think ultimately, the plan would be to get the phone to work on a Verizon MVNO like PagePlus etc.

At the house, the Virgin network signal strength is virtually non-existant, T-Mobile for example is basically only available upstairs but the likes of AT&T is OK and Verizon is top.

Yeah, I was not meaning I thought I could use the phone on anything other than a CDMA provider just explaining that the signal around here is pretty much sub-par other than AT&T or Verizon.

On a separate note, does anybody know how to stop the nagging VM activation each time I turn the phone on?
[General Questions and Answers] dragonhart6505:
Well you couldn't flash to Verizon/PPC anyway as this phone is on Virgin Mobile (a Sprint MVNO) as well as a Sprint version and there aren't any other versions of the phone except for those two variants. As for the VM activation, just put your phone in airplane mode. There's also an app called Disable Service. Not sure which service listed will stop the activation, but it should be in there somewhere
[General Questions and Answers] Junkie2100:

ROM Bricked my phone

I tried to install the Rom you said you got to work and it didn't for me. I have the ZTE AWE N800 and I couldn't get the recovery rom towork either. One of the things I did wrong was to turn of the USB debugging. Now that it is in a boot loop or the CWM restore mode, is there a way to connect my PC to it and load a recovery rom? I guess the question is is there a way with ADB to turn on the USB debugging on the phone?

Any help would be appreciated. Also some other recovery rom would help too. I tried to do the sideload with the supplied one and that wouldn't work either.
