There are some problems here-

1) You have to flash an older firmware if it is available with you. In case you dont, better to download the new one entirely

2) Flashing it through Odin will anyway wipe the phone unless you use TB

3) OTA can be used only with stock recovery and not CWM or any other custom recovery (i.e. OTA can be downloaded even if you are rooted and have a custom recovery but you cant flash it)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] rejocie001:
Flashing an old firmware will not factory reset your phone.. And will not delete any of your data.. Unless you do manually reset the phone..
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] rejocie001:
Using triangle away and disabling super user will make system status official... Otherwise just flashing an old firmware will not make system status as official unless you factory reset the phone... I tried this method for me this method is very much successful...
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] maxxinn:
Dude flashing a firmware through Odin will definitely wipe data and superuser, and it will make system status as official. No need of triangle away. I have been doing this since 2 years and even day before yesterday, i did it. And grabing ota files from fota Is a nice idea, as i got the mk3 files from [MENTION=219617]akira[/MENTION]...'s thread, So i flashed the mj4 then just flashed the ota file from stock recovery.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] rejocie001:
Bro flashing a firmware through odin will not factory reset or wipe all your apps which already installed in your phone.. Unless do factory reset manually.. I agree that u Will lose root (superuser)... If you do factory reset then the system status become official... I recommend triangle away to disable superuser so that system status should become official..... Otherwise if you flash firmware through odin the system status will become custom only.. I will soon upload a youtube video regarding this.... Pls be patient..
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] maxxinn:
So you are saying that, if i flash a firmware through odin, then if i dont wipe data then all my apps and data will not be get deleted!! Right?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] rejocie001:
Yes bro.. Only you lose root...
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] maxxinn:
Ok then, waiting for your youtube video..:)

[MENTION=5101470]rejocie001[/MENTION] - Mate are you sure, flashing a different firmware version through ODIN will not wipe your data and user installed APKs ? KIES doesnt do a wipe but ODIN does. Atleast thats what I have been getting for 3 years now. And you anyway become "official" when you flash stock firmware. You only need TA to reset bin counter which should be done before flashing.

P.S.- Here's a secret; you dont need to disable SU for becoming official. I am running rooted stock MK3 with custom recovery and TA. My counter is 0 and device status is official ;)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] rejocie001:
I did this day before yesterday.. My previous build number is MJ3..I got information from xda that new updation is available through OTA.. I know that I will not get OTA update due to rooted firmware and I don't have broadband connection to download another 900 mb rom to flash through odin.. That's y I decided to do this trick and its succeeded.. And I like to share this trick that will be helpful to others.. Now my build number is mk3 which I updated through OTA.. Here is the screenshot of my build number..

Triangle away used not only to reset bin counter and can also disable superuser on boot...
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Tianhe:
I got OTA update even though I was on rooted stock firmware with custom recovery. It can be downloaded but you cant flash it because it requires stock recovery. The only option is if someone creates an update.zip for the OTA patch which can be flashed through custom recovery
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] jayc137:
Flashing stock recovery will do the trick instead of flashing whole firmware ;)

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Alldroidrider:
If flashing the stock recovey will do the trick in a rooted phone then,TA and disabling the superuser necessary?????

because it saves lot of time!!!!:D
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Tianhe:
Theoretically, flashing stock recovery should do it. But I guess you do need TA to reset counter to 0 and unroot through SuperSU itself. I am not sure but the update package might check for stock values in partitions before it is flashed.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] maxxinn:
Me too think so, bcoz when I flashed the ota file through stock recovery, which was shared by akirathoriyama , it was not successfull. Mine was rooted but in order to flash tha ota file, I changed the recovery to stock and used triangle away and even unrooted. But then also it was not successful. So I flashed the mj3 then flashed the ota of mj4 .

[MENTION=5026607]rejoice[/MENTION]. Don't you lose your user apps and data , when you flash firmware files through odin??
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] rejocie001:
Flashing a stock recovery will get OTA UPDATES.. And also use need to make system status official. Without using triangle away and superuser disable,, u cannot make system status official unless you manually do a factory reset.. And one more point flashing a stock recovery WILL NOT SUCCESSFUL IN INSTALLING OTA UPDATES,will give errors while installing updates,,,that's y FLASHING A WHOLE FIRMWARE WILL ONLY INSTALLS THE OTA UPDATES SUCCESSFULLY.. HOPE THIS HELPS YOU.. ANYWAY NICE QUESTION,
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] rejocie001:
Bro, I'm sure flashing a new firmware over old one will not reset your data and user apps... This is my practical experience not theoretically bluffing.. :p
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] jayc137:
Hmmm. could be possible

I myself got a nv-firmware assert error while flashing ota but then I thought it was just the case with me

Thanks for testing anyways guys :D
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] tharmor:
Does Not work !!!

I have tried this so many times before.......same process ! May be something device specific.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] drshreenivaas:
I agree with OP. I resought flash counter with triangle away & flashed updated rom wirh odin. I got new rom with root privileges lost & device status still custom. But I didn't lose data & apps. Only this that bothered me was yellow triangle.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] maxxinn:
Yellow triangle is of stock recovery's. If you flash an ota through recovery, you won't ever lose apps and data.;)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] rejocie001:
You have to first make device status official... Then only you get OTA UPDATES.. So triangle away is not only to reset bin counter there is an option to disable superuser at boot,

And for safety u can also disable superuser from the apps.. Check screenshots default is enabled

After restart the phone.. Check system status is official or not.. If it is official, go to download mode and flash the firmware which u already have.. After finish the process just try to update the phone through OTA..

Hello guys...

It hadn't happened to me before and I don't know what triggered it. Since this morning, every time I try to browse the web, even if the Universal is synced to the pc, PIE gives me a "page cannot be found" error. Opera, on the other hand, works fine!

Any ideas? :roll:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] johnk1973:
I've had this problem too on my XDA IIi and also on older model XDA's. It only happens for me when connected to ASync, GPRS i have no problems. A quick soft reset solves the problem but it returns after so long. My emails would still download...

I don't seem to have noticed it recently (maybe cause i don't use it so much) but i did use the hack to move Temporary Internet Files to storage (or SD card) where i have much more free space. Give that a try, tell me if it makes a difference!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ninja12innotts:
I have a problem when connected via activesync in that sometimes when trying to use internet explorer when it connects to a page it just simply closes down.

That is internet explorer just closes. Not hidden, not under running tasks. Have only noticed it when trying to access a couple of particular sites.

So I am wondering if there is a piece of code on the web site that IE doesnt like and occasionaly trips it over.

Not a problem to me yet. I either dont bother accessing the page or try a soft reset.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] eagle 1:
Did you move your temporary internet files to your sdcard? Does the problem go away if you go into tools\options\memory and click delete files and click clear history? If yes, your temp files have possibly become corrupt.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] johnk1973:
I use Storage for my temp internet file/cookies and history but you can use a SD card. This does have the benefit of surviving a soft and hard reset.

It's been a while but i can remember clearing files in the options when using normal memory, it still failed to load/find pages until i soft reset. Even tried completely closing PIE and starting up again, still had to do a reset.

For me it seemed to happen more if i had set the options to download all images.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] akpe:
up :) still face the same prob
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SooSpecial:
I'm facing the same problem after upgrading to the latest firmware, IE won't open any site, but Opera, MSN, Email .. etc are working fine.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] underwurlde:
Yo,

what I get is a lot of red-X'd pictures - WHY is that??

Also Bluetooth internet browsing is very flakey - keeps diconnecting?? (although activesync connection is stable) ....

so, the answer is....

replace that half baked piece of Micro$oft crap with a decent browser, such as Opera?

BTW, where do I get Opera for the PPC anyway??

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mobiler:
With my old PDA2K I used to have the same problem. The solution in my case was to execute the file Welcome.exe from the windows directory. It seems the connection settings or explorer settings got corrupted from time to time and running the welcome.exe seemed to correct the problem without affecting any other settings of the machine. But Iam not sure this is the problem in your case... but maybe it may also affect the universal and not just the blueangel.

Hi there,

I can no longer boot past the 4 coloured balls on boot up.

I just installed the Team Win Recovery Project v2.6.3.4 on my Nexus 5. I followed the steps from the main menu of my device

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem unlock

...

OKAY [ 45.230s]

finished. total time: 45.230s

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.4-hammerhead.img

sending 'recovery' (13272 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.608s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 1.039s]

finished. total time: 1.647s

Now my device won't boot back to the main menu. I can enter recovery mode without a problem, but it appears that my device was erased somehow.

I'm not sure what exactly to do next. This is the first time I've tried rooting something.

Also from the recovery menu, if I press the square in the middle it says the following

E: Unable to mount '/cache'

E: Unable to mount storage'

E: Unable to mount '/cache'

E: Unable to mount '/cache'

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried wiping data and cache while in recovery?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karyuudo:
Thanks for the quick reply, No I haven't. I just need to hit that Wipe button?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimlarck:
Okay, so in the Recovery menu click the wipe button, then click Advanced Wipe, and only check Dalvik and Cache, then wipe that. This will take a while though, it can take up to 10 minutes so don't freak out, also I recommend you don't let the screen time out. So keep tapping every now and then, and be patient.

Go to Advanced and it should be an option called Fix Permissions.

something much easier than flashing the factory img.. adb push a custom rom and gapps to your phone then flash them in your recovery. thats all thats needed. thats what i did when i got my n5 and was in the same situation as you.

That takes a bit more time though, first let's try the quick and simple things before we try that.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimlarck:
Then you'll have to flash back to stock, can you enter your bootloader? Also, what root method did you use and was your phone 4.4 or 4.4.1?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karyuudo:
By bootloader you mean Team Win Recovery Project 2.6.3.4 then yes. I'm in that menu

Basically if you see my first post, that was what I did exactly to root the phone. I was on 4.4 when I did this.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimlarck:
No, your bootloader is accessed by turning off your phone and holding both the volume up and down buttons and the power button.

One more question... At this point do I let it boot until I see the following, or do I go to the bootloader again and choose recovery mode

★After everything finished, select "Recovery" using the volume buttons.

★When a small Android appears, press Power Button + Volume UP.

★Select "Wipe data/factory data reset"

★Reboot. Your phone should be stock.

Did the phone reboot? If so then go to bootloader and then recovery then wipe data/factory data, if not then carry on with the instructions.

All I wanted to do was get the 4.4.1 update on the phone originally... But I heard you needed to root it to manually install it.

I was facing the same issue. Used Mskip tookit to unlock the bootloader and flashed custom recovery. then wne i rebooted the device to enable usb debugging, nexus 5 got stuck on boot logo. When i rebooted into recovery, I could see that data partition could not be mounted and size was showing as 0. I then tried to download and flash stock factory image and since that was taking some time, went ahead and tried to format the data partition from TWRP. Once that was done and I rebooted the recovery, the partition came back and after a successful wipe this time, device was able to boot.

I know you can do it from app drawer but what about the desktop or home screens.. I don't see an option for that
[HTC Droid DNA] rayjr13:
That was never an option in the Sense 5 Rom UI's that I ever saw. The app drawer options yes but not prism homescreen. This was baked into several ROMs though. The capability is there. You probably need to pull a modded prism.apk or modify it yourself to get 4x5 homescreen and swap it in system. If odex'd you'll probably need to mode the file from that OTA rom.

You'd think for the first 100% Google phone, there'd be more ROMs, whether it be ports or from scratch. Hell, even Cyanogen has neglected it. We have to nag people like dhacker, and the just doesn't seem fair.

Don't get me wrong, I love the ones available but we crack-flashers need just a tad more selection, can I get an AMEN?

First phone where custom ROMs would be detrimental to stock, seeing as we'd lose out on great features. Just use gravity box and good to go.
