[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] rectifyy:
So I installed a custom rom (Dream Fuson V1) for the first time in galaxy y duos s6102 yesterday. Everything was going fine until I mistakenly installed the OTA update zip file using cwm, while I was supposed to install it using the stock recovery. So, the new features I was supposed to get after installing the update isn't there. Now my question is, can I simply install the update using stock recovery or should I first clear cache and dalvik?

Thanks in advance.

Hi folks, I know on Win XP the Device Name of your wireless nic is stored in:-

H KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkCards

and is labelled something along the lines of

{6CB9D486-3848-4282-9B6D-54A90138DC8A}

I've tried in vain to find this on Windows Mobile but failed miserably and it seems to be something that's not been posted on here before (judging by the last 30 mins I've spent reading threads and searching!)

Or alternatively the hardware details of the card, i.e. manufacturer, type, model etc?

Any ideas please?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kal5el:
Hey guys. I've been around since the OG Droid, and I've never posted because I've been able to find the information by searching usually. But now I have a problem that I haven't been able to solve, and I was hoping someone could puzzle it out.

Right now I have a Nexus 5. I got it at launch and it's been perfect, with none of the issues others have had that required RMA. I unlocked the bootloader when I got it and loaded TWRP and rooted, but left it stock beyond that. About a week or so ago, I rebooted into recovery. While I was there, out of habit, I cleared cache and Dalvik. The thing is, it took 5-10 minutes to clear, and during that time I remembered that i had ART enabled. Now, I know others have had trouble with TWRP messing them up on a wipe, but this is where it gets interesting.

I rebooted when TWRP finished wiping. The boot animation spins the balls in once, then on the second time, there is color bleed forming a line across screen on the top and bottom of the boot animation. Again it spins, and it's fine, and then it does it again. Every second spin of the boot animation.

Eventually it booted in and I used the phone. An hour later, I got some force closes, it locked up, and then it rebooted into a bootloop. With the boot animation bleeding every second spin. When I got sick of that, I started trying to fix it by flashing factory images, locking and unlocking bootloader, fastboot erasing cache, userdata and system, fastboot formatting cache, userdata and system, trying TWRP again and wiping, trying CWM and wiping, wiping in stock recovery, anything and everything. I don't know how this is lasting past flashing factory images after an erase or a format, but every time I try to boot my Nexus 5, it either gets caught in a bootloop with varying amounts of boot animation graphics glitches, or it boots into Android and then after I spend a few hours setting up again, it will randomly hit me with graphical glitches in the OS or reboot, and then I'm stuck in the exact same boot loop.

Does anyone have any ideas that I haven't tried? I've done all of these multiple times, checked MD5's and SHA's, used different downloads of factory images, applied or not applied the update to 4.4.1, and nothing seems to work. Sometimes it's right away, sometimes it takes hours or even a day, but eventually I end up with force closes and a boot loop with bleeding graphics.

Thanks in advance for any possible help. I'll sit here quietly and wait for someone to tell me to just flash the factory image. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thattypicalnerd:
What kind of FC's? Random apps you have on your phone or specific apps? Also, do you have any kinds of system mods or complete stock? Do the weird graphical glitches on the bootanimation happen on the boot right after you flash the factory images? Or subsequent boots after the OS graphical glitches start?

As for right now, try running a factory image without installing anything apart from apps that come stock (don't install anything from the Play Store). If you can't live without some apps, try keeping them to the top 100 downloaded apps (ie. ones that have huge userbases and most definitely do not cause system issues).

Reason I say this is because the only three reasons I can think of are 1) app you have installed doesn't play nicely with stock Kitkat 2) something borked your EFS partition 3) your GPU is screwed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kal5el:
Thanks for the reply.

The force closes are Google Search, or other Google stuff. I had the build.prop edited for 400 LCD density before this all started, but I haven't changed it back on subsequent flashes. So it is completely stock, not even rooted, and sometimes not even a custom recovery. 100% stock. The glitches happen on a clean flash from factory images, immediately on first boot. They get worse on subsequent boots after OS glitches start. In terms of what they look like, they are red or blue or white. Never other colors. On boot, they form dash lines bordering the boot animation. On the OS, they form lines above the default Google folder or vertical or horizontal lines mostly.

I've tried running just factory image with nothing installed except stock. I get the same results. Either I get glitches and force closes followed by a reboot right away, or it starts within a few hours of booting. If it reboots and gets back to OS without boot looping, the glitches in OS will be worse, and it will reboot into boot loops within a few minutes.

I still have my GNex, so I can afford to keep this phone stock until I resolve this. But it is basically unusable, and I don't want to RMA since I seem to have gotten one of the good ones, you know? This has to be a software problem, possibly a partition problem caused by TWRP. I was paying close attention to Metal_Head's thread, but he resolved his problems by wiping in TWRP, and that hasn't worked for me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_<3er:
"One of the good ones"? You clearly don't have "one of the good ones".

I think this doesn't have anything to do with anything you might have done wrong, I think the phone needs to be RMA...can you relock it?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thattypicalnerd:
HIGHLY doubt its a software issue at this point. Considering your phone is completely stock, the crashes are unrelated to the phone app, that takes out app interference/EFS issues. Also, considering it happens on first boot, 99.99% sure it's hardware. Relock and send it back to Google. If you really want to, try CWM and see if that does anything, but I doubt it. In my experience, CWM causes more trouble than TWRP. Computers are complex little devices, it could be a bad CPU that has a small sector of the transistors not working or something like that. Bad RAM even?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kal5el:
So you guys think it's a hardware issue? It's possible, I guess. But it started after TWRP messed up on wiping Dalvik, so I figured it was a partition problem. I can relock it, I'll just have to reset the tamper flag. Was really hoping this was a fixable software problem.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bud77:
I think you don't have the latest TWRP, which causes some issues on cache partition, and takes ages to wipe

2.6.3.4 is the latest
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kal5el:
I'm running 2.6.3.4 TWRP. Thanks for the suggestion though.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kal5el:
Okay, just posting the solution in case this happens to anyone else. Wiping in stock recovery, CWM, or TWRP didn't work. Fastboot erase, fastboot format, and fastboot oem lock/unlock didn't work. Factory images didn't work, with multiple downloads and md5 checking. What ended up somehow fixing it after trying everything I could think of was pretty simple.

In the Android OS, in settings, under backup and reset, I clicked reset. That's it. So far, graphical glitches gone. It's been almost 2 days, far longer than it's gone without a bootloop since it started these shenanigans.

No idea why recovery and fastboot and all that business didn't work. Just posting the solution for those who come after.

I know, I can't figure it out. It rebooted into recovery exactly like I had done before, and I watched the robot's polygon spin exactly like I had done 20 times. I can't explain why it worked.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssconceptz:
Same thing that happened to me. What I finally got done to resolve it was:

1) Completely wiped the device and I mean all partitions so there is no OS and no internal files

2) Get the refresh zip file from Google to flash the device back to stock 4.4 while in the bootloader

3) Boot up, skip the setup, place CM11 files on the phone, then turn it off, reboot to bootloader

4) Flash CWM with fastboot

5) Boot to recovery

6) Do a factory reset

7) Wipe cache

8) Install CM11 & gapps

9) Wipe cache again

10) Reboot

So far for me no more issues. I did the same steps as you when mine started acting up. Now cache wipes super fast as expected no more reboots.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kal5el:
I was wrong. The reset fixed it for 2 days or so, then it started showing the same problems. Graphical glitches and rebooting. I'm RMAing it. This thread can be ignored from now on. Further discussion of this particular problem can go in ssconceptz's thread linked below.

Just got my mega, and can't do without my aosp browser, it has flash player, set user agent, simple clean ui, best browser there is, imo.

Download the installer zip here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1875280

Extract the zip, using root explorer copy browser.apk and paste in system.app, set permissions.

I renamed browserproviderproxy.apk to .bak, and same with chrome.apk and sbrowseratt.apk

Reboot, then go to settings/apps, clear cache and data in the browser app and should work.

Dowload and install bookmark sync.apk here (post #8) to sync your google bookmarks. Bookmarks sync will appear in settings/accounts/google

While the browser itself is working just fine, when I try to save a bookmark it force closes!

Can someone please confirm that this is working for them? I'm willing to flash some other firmware just to get this browser working!

I'm on 4.2.2 I9205XXUAMG5

I tried to install aosp browser before this one in every possible way and followed instructions to the letter, but like this one all my efforts came to a halt on this particular problem - cannot save bookmarks!

I even posted in help thread about this problem but never got an answer!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] 9wire:

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ozyk100:
I'm currently using next browser, but - I reinstalled whole system again, changed nothing else accept rooted and cwm.

Tried to install aosp browser once again but I still have the same issue!

I installed provided bookmarks sync adapter during all this but no luck!

I don't care much about bookmarks synchronization, all I care is that I can save them and that's not happening!

Another bust for me
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] 9wire:
I had to sideload because I don't have recovery, you should just have to flash the zip, then go into apps and clear cache and data. I've used this same zip on 3 different phones and I don't know how many roms without issues. I'm kinda stumped why just the bookmarks would fc.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ozyk100:
I don't know what's going on either, this was probably 15th failed attempt to get aosp awesomeness to my mega but I guess I'm destined not to have it! Maybe in the near future someone will figure it out!

Or I'll get another phone ;)

Thanks anyway

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thattypicalnerd:
I'm just curious as to if there are any custom bootloaders on the Nexus 5, or do we not even need them? I came from the Evo 3D, where there were PLENTY of bootloaders and bootloader versions. They all had certain firmware compatibility (ie, 1.58 wouldn't boot AOSP ROMs, but 1.4/1.5 would), and the ENG ones had a bunch of extra fastboot options built in. Not that I need any of that (I'm perfectly happy with just my recovery and basic fastboot options), but just asking out of pure curiosity. :p
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheReverend210:
Evo 3D is an HTC yes? I remember from my old Hero, HTC pretty much write their own bootloader, so they can lock out certain features etc. The Nexus 5 bootloader is the full featured, engineering boot loader if you will. No need to go around changing it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The benefit of custom HTC bootloaders didn't stop at s-off. It could be used to change the mtd partition allocation. Use aosp? Wasting 1 GB of /system and /cache? No problem. Re use it for /data

Op, not that I've seen

And with the kernel swap and all that is foreign to me.

Is there an easy 1-2 step method? Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
The easiest method is to install a custom recovery ( cwm or twrp ) and then flash the SU zip. My signature contains links to both recoveries. Only remember to reboot into recovery first after installing the recovery image. Then reboot normally. If you don't do this, the custom recovery will get overwritten by the stock recovery.

You can also use kingoapp to root your phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Odin 3.04 - link

2 ways to reboot to recovery after flashing twrp recovery.

1. Hold the phone in your hand before you flash the the recovery. As soon as you click flash and the screen on your phone goes black, press and hold the volume up button. You should reboot to recovery.

2. Untick "Auto Reboot" option in Odin before flashing. After flashing, press and hold the power button. The screen will go black and you should feel the phone vibrate. As soon as you feel the vibration, press and hold the volume up button.

If you can answer it fine. . Can you please provide the link ?

Its been talked about by others. . One market app requires root and some say doent work.. the other app in question could be..couldnt be a totally separate app...

If you are rooted, you should be able to look up and install SuperSU from the Play Store. Provided it's not already installed.

You can use that to unroot your phone, I believe.
