[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lexus One:
I somehow got the idea that rooted Nexus devices with a custom recovery could handle OTA's without trashing the recovery. I guess I expected that I would lose root. I think I'm just going to wait for someone to put together a "CleanROM" based on 4.4.2 or newer. I've been waiting for a rom like this since I bought my Nex10 anyway. I don't think I'll suffer too much running on 4.4 until then.

Thanks to those who contributed, I'll remember your suggestions. Especially if I end up waiting a long time for a 4.4.2 based Cleanrom.

Update: Thanks to Wug's toolkit. I'm now running 4.4.2..

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorban:
Nexus 5 stock everything with CF-autoroot

Side loaded 4.4.1 OTA with no problems. Computer recognizes ADB in all modes.

Go to side load 4.4.2. I can access fastboot menu.

Choose recovery (stock).

Get the green android robot on his back with red triangle / exclamation mark BUT pushing power button immediately followed by volume up key does not give me options (eg. side load zip file).

I can hold down power for 30 sec and get out of stock recovery mode and I boots back to home screen.

Never had this problem when side loading 4.4.1.

Anyone else having this problem. Any tips / help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Nevermind ... turns out I was pushing power button / letting go of power button / then pushing volume up instead of keeping power button held down while pushing and releasing volume up button.

Hey guys I flashed T-Mobile 4.0.4 and tried to restore back to 2.3.6 from CWM but get an md5 sum error. Where can I find the stock ATT 2.3.6 rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
That error means a corrupted or incomplete or renamed backup.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaycomma:
So i've been tearing my hair out for the past few hours trying to figure this out.

I've been trying to get my Galaxy S4 to update to 4.3, the newest 727.56MB update. I have tried to download and it downloads, reboots, and then loads to 25%.

I have tried deleting all of the busybox files in /system/xbin as well as uninstalling/full unroot on SuperSU.

I have, on top of that, ALSO done a factory reset, and STILL to no avail!

I don't know what to do at this point and am furious that I cannot get updates from AT&T if my device is rooted.

I still have the stock recovery on my phone, and no longer have root because I uninstalled it. (I rooted my device using the exFAT SDcard method a few months back in July)

So, if ANYONE could help me out that would be GREAT. I am so confused and now have a fully clean phone with all my information gone from it.

And, yes, i'm pretty sure that I can't update OTA anymore, but can ANYONE please tell me how to update then?! Please.

Thanks guys, hope to hear from anyone soon.

Make a backup then factory reset --> OTA update
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibrahim.Rahman:
If you modified any system file you will have to flash stock 4.4 KRT16S factory image and then sideload/update to 4.4.2

If you haven't modified anything and have a custom recovery, download the update from Google servers copy it to your phone and flash in custom recovery.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veddharta:
I have the same problem and only deinstalled facelock...

Hi,

I think i only deinstalled facelock. Is there maybe a thread with all systems .apk files? Than i could easily install it again and everything should work.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
If you just flash the stock system.img then you won't lose anything and it is very quick and easy.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rasta312:
or Sideload causes factory reset?

System : Stock , No Root , No Custom CWM (100% Stock device)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibrahim.Rahman:
No. Sideload does not do a facotry reset. Updating through sideload is just the failsafe, manual way of applying the OTA.

It doesn't even require an unlocked bootloader or a custom recovery, so you can easily use it without changing anything.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z0rin:
I guess you had a error code "system/build.prop has unexpected contents" all you should do is to download build.prop from here if you have KRT16s http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2563274 and adb push /system/build.prop

Welcome to CMB Roms- CM done Better... Dark Themed for his/her Pleasure

Why CMB?

We are just better :), in a nutshell we set out to give you the best of CM, with none of the annoying features (see list below), all this wrapped in a custom black theme. We used the KISS principal when deciding what to offer, we based our frameworks on CM alone (not FrankenFrameworks like some others out there), enabling us to provide updates and bug fixes as soon as CM does. This doesn't mean we are only relying on them for development, it just eases merging.

Features

Based on Android 4.4.2_r1, CM11.0

All current features CM11.0

Customized Dark Holo Theme With Gray ActionBars

Dark Mms

Dark Calendar

Dark Contacts

Ramdisk security tweaks, you can adb as root now!

Bash "tab to complete"

Remount helper, in adb shell

Old

mount -o rw,remount /system

New

remount /system

Better Right?? :)

We plan to add more features, suggestions are welcome (but sometimes ignored :P)

Enough already where do I find CMB for MY device?

Developer Comments

I am very pleased to be the first to offer a custom rom for the LG GPad 8.3 (V500)! This should be considered and early preview as there are some device hardware bugs (see issue list below), and rom tweaks (like theme) maybe forthcoming.

Drgravy and I have been working together (we both own this tablet) to get a device tree together. The tree is an amalgam of my own own work, drgravy's, and some from CM's forthcoming release

Special Thanks to [MENTION=4229979]djrbliss[/MENTION] for his bootloader patch LOKI this wouldn't be possible without it!

Instructions

You must have a rooted device with one of the custom recoveries flashed (TWRP Recommended)

Copy rom and gapps to your sdcard

Reboot into recovery using adb

[color=#333333]adb reboot recovery[/COLOR]

Wipe data/Factory Reset

Flash Rom and Gapps

Reboot and Enjoy

Tips/Tricks

If you get an error about incorrect device, update your TWRP recovery to the latest version released in drgravy's thread.

Root is turned off by default in CM derived roms, you must enable developer settings first (tap the build number 8 times under about device), then enable root under Developer Settings

Simultaneously press and hold the power and volume down buttons.

When the LG logo shows up, release the power button only.

Now press and hold the power and volume up button while keeping your hold on the volume down button.

When the factory reset screen appears, release your hold on all buttons.

Press the power button to continue.

Press the power button again to confirm if you’re sure you wish to continue with the reset.(NOTE if you are the newest TWRP recovery it should not wipe but if you are on the old version everything will be erased!)

please be sure you are on the latest twrp 2.6.3.1 for this to work correctly (even tho it says factory reset it wont reset it will just go into recovery)

see post #3 it is rooted

2) Does it include features of stock rom like Slide Aside, Knock on, QSlide etc.,?

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] naruto.ninjakid:
CM based ROM's usually don't contain features such as those. I may be wrong but it is my understanding things like that are built into LG's software and are not easily portable. So they may not be included in the ROM but I may be wrong.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] mustbepbs:
Nice work guys! I'll definitely be jumping on board with this. Looking forward to different themes, though, as all black isn't my cup of tea. Really excellent work.

Since this rom is CM base, is it correct to assume that kernel is not AOSP based?

First off, great rom. Everything but one thing seems to be working really well for me.

Only one speaker is working, it was working under stock 20 minutes ago. This an issue on my end or is anyone else having this problem? I searched the known bugs before posting, did not see it.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] jigo:
I'm having the same issue, no sound out of the bottom speaker.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] evilhunter101:
2 GPads here, no sound out of bottom speaker either.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] nycbjr:
Confirmed,

I'll take a look at the mixer paths, maybe something isn't right.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] mallman:
Netflix is all jumbled up on mine. YouTube works fine though. I am referring to the apps not sites
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] nycbjr:
I was afraid of that, didn't have a chance to test. I have to change a few things and rebuild.

Look for that tomorrow
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] jigo:
Something else I've noticed is that screen rotation isn't working. I have auto rotation on, but it won't go into landscape
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] nycbjr:
the stock launcher doesn't rotate, launch contacts and try, working great here.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] jigo:
I'm using Nova launcher, but I'm not getting rotation anywhere. No apps were rotating either. Nova and system was set to auto rotate.

I did a factory reset and reinstalled rc1a and still had no rotation. Restored a backup of rc1 and rotation is working again.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] nycbjr:
well ok, in my testing (as brief as it was to get this out to you quickly) I experienced so meting similar, after a reboot its been fine. I'll put it on the list (as suspect), might need to update the sensors library.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] nycbjr:
you my friend are a genius.. hehe (or the catalyst for one anyways), I just dropped in a new sensors.msm8960, and it resolved the linear acceleration sensor issue, and I'll assume less cagey roation.

I'll drop it in a build tomorrow but take the attached file and do the following: (assuming the file downloaded to your ~/Downloads folder)

remove the .txt extension (XDA's upload rules are archaic what is this 1988/pine?)

[LIST]
[*] adb remount /system
[*] adb push ~/Downloads/sensors.msm8960.so /system/lib/hw
[*] adb shell chmod 0644 /system/lib/hw/sensors.msm8960.so
[*] adb reboot

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] nycbjr:
It took a great deal of effort to theme this, and its the signature of CMB Roms

That said you have 3 real options:

1. grab a new theme from the play store, this rom is compliant with the t,mobile theme engine, and theme that says cm compatible will work.

2. grab the trees in my git, repo init cm, build it yourself (share if you like)

3. Wait a few days and official CM will land (I'm guessing based on progress Ive seen on git)

OK thanks, having never used either, I presume you mean run logcat and grab the output, post on pastebin and get a url?

Will wait until I've tried rc1c but during the slow start up of beach buggy blitz logcat shows stuff about CPU speed/throttling, something about only 128MHz, will grab later if still broken.
