If you have a nandroid backup of your stock Rom and it is clean, you can restore only the system without doing a wipe. Than you should be able to sideload. No data will be lost.

Tried to restore the stock media folder... Still no go even after making sure I set permissions correctly.

I still have root installed... Does that need to go?

I'm assuming I can't just wipe the system partition... I do not have a backup for it after it's been touched.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MeetFace:
Hello,

I've been doing the runarounds all day with my Note II. I've been around the block a few times so I'm comfortable using ADB/Odin and the like. I have the pro version of the Note II toolkit.

I'll spare all of the details, but for now I'm able to get a booted ROM, custom or stock recovery. In TWRP, i get a message "E:Unable to mount '/preload'

Is this something I can ignore? Or do I need to get a good Odin & PIT file (I have one) and reflash/repartition my device?

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Ignore twrp does not have proper mount point for preload. Does not affect anything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MeetFace:
Perfect, that's what I suspected, but I'm trying to start from vanilla scratch ATM.

Thanks for your prompt reply =]
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Vanilla stock? Guesding from your title that would be touchwiz 4.1.2 unrooted stock recovery. I use this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=36388145. After flashing a few wierd things will happen but this is normal. Once it boots up you will have 100% stock mc2 phone just like it was new. Hope it helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MeetFace:
Yes I frequently use that as well =]

I just had a bundle of very strange things happen today while flashing the MK4 update from platty. My Play store disappeared, literally poofed, not installed, and that started a long string of "first-timers". I decided to just go back to the beginning instead of trying to fix whatever happened. In the process I softbricked, but I'm up and running again.

Thanks for your help.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadeskye:
Hey guys, sorry for making a thread about something so stupid but i genuinely can't figure this out.

I have a nexus 5 running on t-mobile (UK) and it works perfectly except i find the internet rather slow compared to my old galaxy s3. speedtest confirms that at work i get about 3 megabit where as on my galaxy s3 i got around 20.

My nexus shows the H symbol so i'm getting hspa i think but i just can't figure out how to get hspa+ (if it's even possible.)

If someone could point me in the right direction that would be really handy.

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Speeds I cannot talk about but fyi on nexus stock there simply is no H+ icon so whether you're on HSPA, HSPA+ or DC-HSPA, you get the same H icon, much unlike my S3 (gt-i9300).

Im actually now getting 20 mbps now on 3 UK. Since it only has a H icon, I have no idea if its + or DC which is a little annoying

I'm on 3 UK too and get around 22Mbps

When using Opensignal to test the speed it suggests I'm on 3G HSPA+ my nexus 5 only shows H no matter what speed I get.

Maybe have a look at Opensignal and see what it says your connection is.

Hrm, I checked it myself and I'm getting 15mbit/s and the about status just says HSPA

Sometimes it used to says HSPAP, maybe android simplified it.

15mbit/s is definately HSPA+

The only real difference is greater upload speeds 3G had slower uploads than the couple mb we get now.

I think technically anything over 14.4 down is HSPA+

But it looks like Android has chosen to simplify it.

UTMS is definately 3G
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gigamaster89:
I''m not 100% sure how I rooted my phone but I'm guessing via Chainfire.

Aside from root, it is 100% stock.

Can I unroot (to install OTA) without using Triangle Away and without factory resetting (to keep data)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhxDroid86:
Not sure but for me, I had to factory reset (through stock recovery) before my device would accept the OTA... There are other ways for you to get the OTA though

Install SuperSU from PlaySTore

In that app you can do a COMPLETE UNROOT

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sheppington:
I received the OTA for 4.4.2 yesterday after I had installed 4.4.1 manually. I noticed with both that the screen began to flash black quickly, and then went back to normal, every now and again. I noticed it the most in Hangouts, and for some reason the Play Store keeps opening at random...very annoying because it doesn't even load to show me all the new things, it just stays white. Is anybody else having this issue? I assumed 4.4.2 was to fix the screen flash but nope. Also I noticed GPS doesn't lock on unless High Accuracy is selected under the GPS settings, haven't gotten it to work otherwise with Mobile Data or Wi-Fi :confused: :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lopri:
Hi, I had a very similar problem in the past, while updating my Nexus 4 from 4.2 to 4.3. The solution is to clear cache.

1. Put the phone in airplane mode.

2. Go to Settings -> Storage

3. Find the second bottom most item, "Cached data," and touch it. It will ask if you want to clear cache. OK it and power down the phone.

4. Reboot and get out of the airplane mode.

This should fix it. You can alternatively clear cache from the stock recovery. If this doesn't solve it and the screen flickering persists, give Google a call.

:D GPS-Fix

Wink GPS-Fix

Hi there guys,

I have had the same problem updating from 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 and was looking for this fix,

here are the files that I used but I don't know for sure if it will work for you but for me it did the trick.

You have to try each one of them, for me the second one worked out, the first one didn't even flash on my phone.

So I guess you guys can give it a try.

After flashing and clearing (((Cache and Delvik/Cache)))) please reboot.

When I did the GPS fix worked right away, so it was a very quick fix based on a Galaxy S3 script and the best part was that

I didn't need to go back to a stock room or anything.

PLEASE IF THIS WORKS FOR YOU JUST HIT THANKS.

I'm not good at this guys so here are the two links the website give me if you like let me know if anything is wrong

I will send you guys the file directly.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rarat:
Hello,

I wanted to upgrade from 4.4 to 4.4.2 through recovery.

The thing is that I took the wrong file and got a "failed to verify whole file signature" error when I "adb sideloaded".

I finally succeeded installing the 4.4.2 but I am wondering if I should clean somehow the phone as some files (from the wrong update file) were sent to the device and the upgrade was aborted.

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
If the upgrade was aborted, there is nothing to clean up. It validates the file first before it attempts to flash. So, the flash hasn't started by then.

You should be good
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rarat:
Thanks for the reply. I thought some files would have to be uploaded solewhere before it can verify the signature.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] George4.4.2:
Hey all, I recently bought the Nexus 5. The first handset I had to return due to screen hardware problems. The second is in fully working order. I am however not adjusting to the Nexus very well. It does not feel premium and its got glitches and bugs that are most annoying (Noise cancellation microphone cancelling out my own voice, for example..) I have just ordered the Z1 as I had the Xperia J and loved it before moving to the N5, despite it being slow and old it worked and made calls (lols). Is the Z1 problem free?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
1) Thanks for the useful title, I didn't know what phone this forum was for

2) wrong section

3) If you really wanted to know if it was problem free do you not think it would be better to ask before ordering it

4) All the information about any "problems" are all in the general or Q&A section, just give them a read.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantk20111:
There are no real 'problems' perse. The software is pretty much bug-free. Only big thing I can think of that needs improvement is Superior Auto mode on the camera. Other that there are some hardware stuff that cant be changed (viewing angles).
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] George4.4.2:
Thank you for your reply. I'm not too worried about viewing angles. I know it annoys a lot of people on a range of devices but to be honest it has never bothered me. If that's the only hardware thing then I'm not worried. The Nexus 5 has quite a few and I'm just not wanting the same hassle. I already ordered the Z1 as I knew if there were problems, being a Sony device then they would only be mild.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brapicoco:
Try going first to the Sony mobile forum talk.sonymobile.com and see for yourself, then decide again whether you will get the z1 or not.

really an annoying guy. you can see all his posts, then u can understand his mentality. this is a forum for helping, studying etc.. some guyz like gregbradly only making this forum unstable. and he thinks he is a bighead. i hope xda review his posts and cancel his title " Recognized Contributor " or ban him.. dont care abt him.

Anyways, We cannot say Xperia Z1 is problems free.. No phones are 100% perfect, so Z1?? Some common issues on Z1 are, Display yellow tint (not all the phones, but some), touchscreen, lil low sound, bootloader unlock .. all can be fixed.. even bootloader problem if you take a backup of TA before unlock the bootloader.. so dont worry about anything,. just buy and experience the premium device.. you can see the fixes on this Z1 forum.. By the way the viewing angles are not an issue.. in my phone angles are pretty good.. Best of luck.

Have you seen what he has commented on recently, and what I too have seen starting to overflow the forums since 2012.

Stupid questions!

I'm talking particularly about those who come in an registers as member just to start a new thread to write or start bickering about something they don't understand.

At the same time there is a thread two inches down that explaines it all.

You can't expect every skilled person in here to make a 1000 word essay everytime someone asks how to get in recovery etc.

Someone needs to be told that they actually have to put in work to get what they want.

In this day and age where the internet containes so much, it boggles my mind that they don't even know how to use keywords on google.

Yet they don't even think twice before jumping in and bricking their expensive device, ignoring all warnings in the process.

It is nice that with alot of members, developers has a bigger audience to test their stuff and get feedback.

There are of course many more advantages, but I'm not going to name them all.

The members I'm thinking of are quite easy to spot. You can see they haven't invested any time here or contributed/participated.

They just come in frustrated, questioning and swearing over what a bad buy, should never have trusted this company etc etc.

To feature some experiences and such I think is quite ok, especially in accessories and apps.

There isn't exactly a shortage of android forums, why can't they share their feelings there?

xdaDEVELOPERS anyone?

I'm not trying to give the impression that I'm a developer, and I am thankful for being allowed here at all.

But I do try to read up on stuff, so as to save the time of those poor souls who actually bothers to help the people who don't want to help themselves.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] George4.4.2:
Just wanted to say that I have received my Z1 and straight away I can see the quality compared to my Nexus 5 and Note 3 is amazing. Such a good solid build that fits well in my hand. Noticed the yellow tint on certain webpages people have talked about but as the screen is capable of showing white pixels, I'm guessing this is a software bug that will eventually be ironed out. And if not, its not something that would bother me.
