[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raysalmon:
Flashing 4.4

I have a Nexus 4 on 4.3, JWR66Y running Purity build 8/26/13.

I'm wondering which file I should use to flash the new 4.4 to my phone. I thought I was suppose to use a factory image to flash fresh into a new google image, but each time I used SkipSoft Toolkit, it never was able to flash the system.img. It would say 'error: cannot load system.img' or something and the entire flashing process would end ubruptly.

Am I not flashing the right image? Should I go to stock then do the OTA update? What do you suggest as I'm not very skilled in teh nexus hacking :cyclops:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tstszz4ng:
My proximity sensor was not working on my note 3 so i took the device to local warranty center and they said it would not be covered since there was hairline scratch on the screen. So i got the glass replaced and called at&t warranty center (about proximity sensor issue) and they told me that they would send replacement phone and i would have to return the defective phone. Will i be charged for physical damage once they receive the phone? How thorough do they inspect? Anyone did the same before?

As long as its not wet, you will be okay. They will replace it with a Note 3 that works great.

I did the same thing.
[Moto X Q&A] DeathGrind:
Hello all. Ordered my Verizon Moto x Dev Edition during the painful cyber monday sale. I've been lurking around and reading up on what needs to be done. I have a basic idea of the process. Just making sure it is correct.

So to begin i need to unlock the bootloader, which is done through the motorola website here

https://motorola-global-portal.cust...2LzEvdGltZS8xMzg2MDc1NzQwL3NpZC9KcTFvblVHbA==

Before or after i unlock the bootloader i will ota update to 4.4, so i will be following this guide to achieve root

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2536200

This is quoted from the above thread

I assume for step 3, I just place the mfastboot.exe in my android sdk platform-tools folder. This is what i really need clarification on. The rest is pretty self explanatory.

After all that i have read and seen the bootloader unlocked screen, looks pretty ugly. So i plan on replacing that also, following this post

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2417961

That is a informative thread, but it is a little hazy on what format and what needs to be done to flash a replacement image on a dev edition. Maybe someone could enlighten me more.

I'm sure this is all pretty easy to do once i have the phone to tinker with, I am just preparing myself in advance. I would greatly appreciate some help and tips if one could provide.

Thank you
[Moto X Q&A] GoClifGo05:
just run the mfastboot in the same directory as TWRP. Your platform tools folder will work fine. When you open the command window just type mfastboot instead of fastboot.

For the image it needs to be a .bin which it should already be. Place it in the same folder as fastboot, Then fastboot flash logo (logofile).bin

Like you said it is all pretty explanitory. Much easier than attempting to root the locked versions.
[Moto X Q&A] DeathGrind:
Awesome. Thanks so much for the help. Greatly appreciated!

[Moto X Q&A] teookie:
I thought all you had to do was flash TWRP, and then when rebooting from recovery TWRP would say something like "your device does not appear to be rooted, would you like to root it now?".

Also I thought devices shipping now already have 4.4 on them, but maybe that was bad info.
[Moto X Q&A] GoClifGo05:
I know that was true on 4.2.2, didn't check it on 4.4. Just flashed the latest SSU zip and rooted that way.

I am in the same boat as the OP. I was wondering where do you get the mfastboot.exe from to place in your platform tools folder? I am not a noob to fastboot as I have had nexus devices but the mfastboot is new to me. Thanks in advance!

Used the pre-built exe provided by <:GeeK:> at post #35. Worked like a charm.

I can see why there are not many custom roms, because this phone is great. All you really need is unlock and root and everything is good. That being said........i feel the withdrawls already from find and flashing new roms....

now to research what verizon bloatware i can remove.....
[Moto X Q&A] DeathGrind:
Does anyone know what bloatware is safe to remove. Is there a list somewhere, i seem to not be having any luck finding the proper information about this.

Edit

Also wonder about gravityBox for 4.4. anyone use this on their moto x?

Thanks
[Moto X Q&A] DeathGrind:
Installed xposed and gravitybox. WOW! Its amazing. My need for flashing Roms is satisfied.....for now. This phone rocks.

Still looking for information on bloatware removal.

Edit*****

Was able to rid my device of vzw tones, navigator and something else. Had no luck finding the vzw voicemail apk to delete it, just disabled it in app manger.

Hey guys, I just got a HTC One and have some questions. I bought it used, the phone has the custom rom InsertCoin 6.0.4, Android 4.3, HTC Sense 5.5. It is unlocked and I'm using it in Mexico for Telcel. So far I've manage to get the GSM working but Data is not, the phone shows GSM with the arrows turning off and on but when going to Mobile Network Type it shows EDGE. I'm looking for APN and Data configurations but the Options I'm seeing are a little different. Can someone help me out?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elvisypi:
If you see GSM you have internet connection. It's just the icons that are stupid(Sprint fault). Go to system/costumize/AAC/default.xml and find this line sku_id 42 and change it to 10

You'll get the international 3G, H, E icons
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] atulclassic:
My problem is quite similar but different.

I am not able to enable data roaming whereas data is working perfectly when in home circle.

Can we do this with some editing or its a rom fault

Can you tell me what roms have OTA update and frequently updates, it is very easy for me to update rom that way, because I'm always in a hurry. Sorry for posting this question, I really do not have much time to try all roms, so I must ask. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dakura:
We cannot recommend roms here but roms that has [Nightlies] tag on them are updated every day, tho if you are always in a hurry and don't have time for your phone, don't flash custom roms because u will certainly get problems and you will need to solve them yourself.

Before swapping my XDAIIi with my new EXEC I made a back-up on my SD CARD. BUT THE EXEC CANOT RESTORE FROM THIS LOCATION!!!..... Is there anyway of recovering my data????? thank you anyone out there with more knowledge and expertise who could help.........
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] badgerboybadger:
Find another device running the same ROM version as your old device and restore your data to that device. The extraxt what you need and active sync. The transfer all data to the new device.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Wangu77:
Thanks.....It was exactly what I thought. But I have tried this on 4 different machines.....and they all crashed or froze and it just didnt happen........

Is there any other possible way!? :?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] SiliconS:
When you say you made a backup on your SD card, I'm guessing you mean a backup of the entire XDAIIi system (including all your files, all program files and all ROM files).

If so, you can't restore a backup from an XDAIIi onto an XDA Exec. They're two completely different machines and the backup will be incompatible.

Like badgerboybadger says, you need to extract from your backup only those files that contain your personal data: your documents, templates, ringtones and so on. Leave behind anything connected with the device or installed programs. Then you can copy your personal data onto your Exec and it will work. If you want to transfer installed programs from the IIi to the Exec then you'll need to reinstall them on the Exec...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Wangu77:
....silicon,

Yes Indeed, I did make a full system backup!

and you are talking about something i was not aware it is possible to do???

lets see......

How can I even access the inside of the CompactFlashBackUpNew backup file ......??? :(

Is that what you are suggesting ...if I understand you right???

Thanks.... :idea:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] SiliconS:
Yeah - I guess that was what I was suggesting, but I've got no idea how to do this! Sorry. :oops:

I wasn't sure which way you'd have done your back up or whether it's possible to extract particular files. I suppose it must be, but I've never done it.

If you still have your XDAIIi then can you copy specific files off it?

Alternatively, do you still have a synchronised documents folder on the PC to which you used to connect it? That should have most of the documents that you'll want to keep.

If not I don't know what to suggest. :(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] astage:
Providing your old PDA is still available, you really need a backup program that you can run on both PDAs. For example, something like Sunnysoft's Backup Manager - even a time-limited trial edition may be sufficient. Select and back up the required files/data to SD-card on the old PDA, then move the card to the new PDA. Install the backup program there and recover the files/data with that.

Just be careful of the different program versions, try not to copy system files across, and be prepared to do it a couple of times (or more) until you get it right.

I feel like this should have been easier to find, and I feel like I should have known this now after using this phone for 18+ months but I can't seem to find a definitive answer anywhere... What's the stock 3D/2D clock for the GPU on this phone? I believe 3D is 400, correct? Just wondering, because I can't figure it out. I feel like a noob again :P

this post says that adreno 225 can run at up to 400mhz.

i think it is a variable clock speed...it only runs at 400mhz when needed.and the rest of time runs at lower speeds to save battery life.

Forgive me if the answer is obvious. It is just that I have recently bought this phone and I already have some ROMs which I installed for my friend's S3.

No, it doesn't. The S3 uses a different CPU and has higher specs (camera etc). Only ROMs buiilt for the S3 mini would work; take a look at Oliver's CM or MacLaw's ROMs. I'm sure there's more ROMs, take a look in the android development subforum.

Things are only worth as much as people will pay for them...

I paid $300 and at first felt that it was a bit too much (however also felt it fine for first gen and also because it was so much better than pebble @ $150 and heaps of possibilities)

Have a read of threads here as to what others have done with their gear and decide for yourself

Now it's in a position to make me choose to keep my s4 over the Nexus 5 I'm trying out - really don't want to give it up!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] highlordkram:
In my opinion it is worth $299 that I paid. It is fun, the new notifications are working well finally, and the apps that I can sideload on it without rooting it are cool as well. I use the pedometer all the time, and the Chat on messaging program is really fun while on the go to talk to the family. The color screen is great and I've even watched some movies on it and it is watchable. Being able to take a phone call on the watch has helped me a few times in reality even. I am sure the second version will be much better, and have better battery life, but for a first GEN device it is great.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] shirazs:
Personally just the quality of the watch, the customisable clock faces and camera itself is worth $200, add to this the notifications and ability to make phonecalls and all other frills, if you can afford it, definitely worth the money.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QuickHonda:
I prefer it for many reasons. I can make the text bigger which is nice while driving and the zoom buttons allow me to zoom in and out while keeping my location centered. Plus the search results are slightly different. With the old one I can hold down on a spot and hit search nearby and it gives me more results. An example is a restaurant search where the new maps seems to not show some of the smaller places and focuses more on bigger well reviewed ones.
