Update available now for OTA Vodafone Italy (at least for me).

Don't know if I will do it however since from what I have read so far the bootloader is locked.

Can anyone confirm?

Always kept it original stock until now, but don't like losing the possibility to mod it further on.

Hey guys,

I've got a problem with my WiFi-Adapter. That Problem exists now for a few months. When i tap on "enable WiFi" it initializes the WiFi module but after some moments it turns off again. It's definitely a software related problem so pls help me. I've been trying to fix that by my own but I don't know where to begin to fix this. That all began when I used the normal Stock Rom. Currently I'm using an unofficial CM11. The system change didn't change anything. Quite annoying...

In hope for help!

Is your Wifi mac address unavailable,if yes we have same problem,i tried flashing new kdz,and changing numerous roms but problem still persist.

Can you go to system/etc/wifi and see if you got nvram.txt file,mac address is stored there,if that file exist maybe we can fix it :)
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] qkdfler:
Hi n0p3zz,

sorry for answering that late. I've been busy a lot so I didn't have time to care about my phone.

So I just looked up what you said and I didn't find that .txt-file. What i found are several .cfg-files. My ROM is CM 11 Unofficial, if that helps you in any way. My problem is that i cant't transfer any files from my Phone to my PC.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] SmashFace:
I made a backup and flashed a custom ROM yesterday. I then restored to the backup. Today I tried a new ROM aosp 4.4, but I didn't backup before flashing the rom, thinking that I still had the backup from yesterday to fall back to, and I didn't really use my phone after restoring yesterday. Now in Rom Manager under "Manage and Restore Backups" It reads "No Backups Found." Am I hosed? Or is there any way to recover my old backup?

All I really want is my numbers I don't think I ever synced to my google account. I also still haven't figured out how to activate the phone in the new rom, but I'm sure I can find that in FAQ

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Whiplashh:
Aosp roms do not have activation settings. Only stock ROMs do. And depending on your recovery, new ones can read your SD after using 4.2+ ROMs, but old ones can't. You still have the backup but since you flashed a 4.4 ROM you now have an 0 directory and the recovery reads that as your main storage. You need to flash a 4.1 ROM or move everything to the 0 folder. Either that or just update your recovery.

-Whiplashh

[Sprint LG Optimus G] SmashFace:
Thanks Wiplashh

I am not quite clear on what all of the pieces are.

my Rom Manager shows:

Current Reovery: ClockworkMod 6.0.4.5

Latest Recoery: ClockworkMod 6.0.3.8

ClockworkMod Touch is available!

When I go to Update Recovery it asks if I have installed a ClockworkMod Recovery manually. Do I need to do this?

If I flash a 4.1 rom will my yesterday's backup be available in my rom manager? Is that what you are saying? This is my priority, over my activation.

Thanks,

Marshall
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
I'm not very familiar with Rom Manager but from the current recovery/latest recovery you posted it seems that the latest recovery according to rom manager is 6.0.3.8, but you have a newer version than that currently installed. I think that's why it's asking if you did it manually. Your current backup should be located at /data/media/clockworkmod. You want to copy that to data/media/0/clockworkmod. Use a root file explorer of your choosing to navigate to where your old backup is, copy it and move it that location and it should pop up. Most file managers open to internal storage(which is currently your 0 folder) by default, just go to the root of your file system and you will see the /data/ folder Im talking about. Hope this helps!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Whiplashh:
With that recovery, It should still read it unless you moved it / renamed it from data/media/clockworkmod.

This^ ;););)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] SmashFace:
still stuck

Thanks for all the help.

When I install a root file manager from the web it doesn't show-up on my phone. This is the case for any apps I try to install. For this reason, I am using my PC to browse the files.

My internal storage has no "data" directory. It has a "clockworkmod" directory and a "0" directory, and also a "0/clockworkmod".

The images I found that I believe are my backup were located in my Freegee directory. When I copy them to 0/clockworkmod they don't show up when I try to restore from Rom Manager.

Any thoughts?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] eye_p:
I'm experiencing a similar issue using the mako CWM from freegee. In addition to not seeing my backups, my storage is being devoured by an "emulated 0/ legacy folder". Is this safe to delete?

Also, it seems the recovery is reading from device/data/media/cwm and not from storage 0 or storage/emulated 0. I actually copied a backup to device/data/media in order to flash it.

I guess what I need is info on what I can safely do in file explorer to get back on track.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Ok, I'm a bit confused here. Are you still using AOSP 4.4? Did you flash Gapps? Just wondering why you are installing from the web instead of the play store(maybe you just meant play store when you said web). Since you are browsing files from your pc Internal Storage IS /data/media. If you were using a file manager with root on your phone you would be able to see files that don't normally show up on your computer. Thats the system root directory. But the important part is that /data/media=internal storage, you simply can't see it that way from a pc(at least I can't). If you can see the clockwordmod directory, copy that to 0 so that it replaces 0/clockworkmod and then try to restore your backup. That is the way it should be but I advise checking to see which one of those folders has something in it, and copying it to the empty one. Essentially ONE of the clockworkmod folders should have files, and one shouldn't. If BOTH folders are empty, I don't think you have a cwm backup......

Freegee automatically makes a backup when you run it, but was that your only backup? Again I don't use Rom Manager, but my understanding is if you make a backup with it, it would be in your clockworkmod folder. I wouldn't think it would be in the FreeGee folder. New FreeGee may be different(I know it was recently completely overhauled) but the version I had made backups of very important things but did not automatically make a cwm or twrp backup. Custom recoveries backup your data and system, FreeGee backed up your boot, sbl's, recovery, etc.

I'm not sure about the emulated 0/legacy folder. What's in it? I just need a bit more info! You said you copied a backup to flash it. I'm assuming it failed? Are you also running AOSP 4.4 or another rom? For me it works like this. If I'm on lg stock or stock based roms my backups are in /data/media/cwm or /data/media/twrp depending on what recovery I am using. If I'm on something like CM or Omni, Carbon, etc it creates a 0 folder located in /data/media and uses that as the sdcard/internal storage. Once that happens that is what the recovery reads from. But are you saying the opposite happened?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] eye_p:
Exactly! With the CWM in

---------- Post added at 08:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------

Forgive me. I hit submit by mistake.

What's happening in my case using the CWM is the backups are being saved to the storage 0 folder however, the recovery is reading the device/data/media folder when flashing. I'm running 201211 cm 11 with Banks standard gapps. I came from completely stock/rooted/unlocked zvc. I attempted to use the TWRP mako in freegee but when flash failed I tried the CWM mako and was successful.

As far as the emulated O/legacy its identical to storage 0.

I hope that's enough background. And thanks for your response.

---------- Post added at 08:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 PM ----------

To clarify further coming from stock I got a failed flash for cm 11 using twrp. I then DL cwm from freegee and wiped all partitions except internal storage, flashed cm 11 and gapps with cwm and was successful except I had no service. In looking for my efs backup I discovered the emulated 0 folder(( storage0/emulated0/freegee/backup)) I moved the efs backup to the root of storage0 but cwm didn't list it. I made a note of what I was able to see in cwm which led me to device/data/media/cwm. I copied the efs to said folder and was then able to view and flash successfully with cwm. I hope that's clearer.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Lol it's ok, for a second I was confused. When you say you wanna get back on track, what exactly do you want to do? Are you trying to restore your stock backup to clean up and do a clean install of something else? Or are you just trying to restore a backup? And when you say flash failed for TWRP, do you mean installing twrp or flashing cm11 with twrp? CWM is definitely what you needed for that, but if you had twrp first, and made backups with it, they obviously wouldnt work with CWM. If your backups were all made with CWM, just copy the backups to the directory its reading from and it should pop up.

My best advice would be to do a fresh start. Restore your stock backup(hopefully you made one) and then once you are booted back into it, delete the 0 folders. If you see your backups in recovery but restoring them gives you a failed error, I don't know what to tell you there.

And no problem, I ask a lot of questions because the clearer we are with one another, the better I can help! :)

---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 PM ----------

Oh ok sorry I didnt see the last reply. Can you tell me what was in the freegee/backup folder? I think the new freegee is pretty different....my version of freegee backed up efs, but they were named differently if I backed them up with twrp.

But the fact remains that if your stock backup was twrp, you cant restore that with cwm. If you want to go back to stock to start over, you have to flash twrp again.

And are you also using rom manager or doing this manually?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] eye_p:
Lol! I'm willing to answer all questions that lead to good answers.

I flashed TWRP with no problem. Using twrp i made a backup and flashed cm11 but failed. I then rebooted system opened freegee and got the cwm mako, did another backup, rewiped, and flashed cm 11 and gapps successfully. When I booted into system I had no service and went to flash the efs backup I made which is what sent me on my goose chase. Hahaha!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Yeah a lot of people failed flashing cm11 with TWRP. What did you back up efs with, freegee? The only recovery Ive used that showed EFS as a backup option was TWRP 2.5.0.0. Newer TWRP didnt for me(but that may not have been the twrp from this version of FreeGee). I've only used CWM once on this phone to try cm11, but I flashed back to TWRP and my daily driver backup.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] eye_p:
As far as the freegee/backup folder it contains the efs backups I made with twrp and cwm as well as the twrp and cwm mako zips and a bunch of boot image files.

My goal initially was to make sure I can flash back to my stock image which you have answered.

My next thing is that this emulated0 folder, which is identical to storage0 is taking up all of my storage space and I want to know if deleting it will muck things up.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
If you flash back to stock, the answer to that is no. Flash back to stock then just delete the whole 0 folder. Stock uses data/media/, AOSP/CM based uses /data/media/0. So storage 0 and emulated 0 can both go once you are back in stock.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] eye_p:
That makes sense. I'll give it a whirl and post results. I'll flash back to twrp recovery, flash my stock backup and try to clean up my sd card. I'm using es file explorer btw.

Thank you for all of the quick fire responses, especially for a Saturday night.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] SmashFace:
Still using AOSP 4.4.

I don't have play store so I tried to get apps off web. I don't know why I don't have play store, I would assume it would come with the custom rom, but one of my main problems now is I can't add any apps additional what came with the rom.

The data/media thing makes sense, but I still can't get a file viewer because I cant get apps to show up.

I have copied every image file I can find on my phone into the clockworkmod folder and still my rom manager doesn't see any back-ups. several of these images are actually called "backup." I am pretty sure though that none of them were in the clockworkmod folder origonally. How do I flash the Freegee backup?

I think my main bottleneck right now is getting any apps to install. any thoughts.

Thanks a lot.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Install 4.4 Gapps Standard the same way you installed AOSP 4.4. Links/directions should be in the thread where you got the rom. EDIT: If you installed 4.4 via rom manager, dont install gapps that way. Actually reboot into recovery and install the gapps zip file. Just wipe cache and dalvik then install gapps. Im not sure why you cant install apps. If it's from the web, you may need to enable "Install from unknown sources" under security. But if you already have, Im not sure. May be a rom/bad flash issue.

I should have said this before, stop using rom manager. Apps like that seem like they make things easier, but then something like this happens. One size fits all apps of any kind can have issues depending on model of phone. It's not difficult to reboot into recovery and make/restore your backups that way. Its far less likely that something will go wrong or get lost. Just food for thought moving forward.

You've already restored the backup once so it should be there, but if neither of the clockworkmod folders had anything in them, that's not a good sign......

I believe you flash the freegee backup from freegee itself. There should be a "restore with backups option. But again, it's not the same kind of backup you get with twrp or cwm. Those recoveries make nandroid backups which is your major system components i.e, your system and data from whatever rom you're using/apps you have at the time. Depending on the recovery they may back up EFS, cache, boot, etc. FreeGee backs up boot, efs partitions and sbl partitions. I've never seen CWM or TWRP touch the sbl, but if you lose the sbl, you lose download mode(which is the ONLY way to fix your phone if something goes horribly wrong!). Maybe new FreeGee is different, but the older version of the app's backup was meant to get you back where you could flash something, a backup, new rom, etc - but didnt just make a nandroid of your current working rom.

It's in this 4.4 port for the ls970 thread. Scroll down to the directions. You'll see it say Install Rom, Flash Gapps with a link to Banks gapps. Gapps=Google Apps. You usually have to flash that separately with roms to get things like the play store app.

[Moto X Q&A] wbabbit:
I opened my new moto x and synced it with my company's exchange environment. One of the policies they test with new phones is a remote wipe. My moto x stopped syncing emails but did nothing else when the wipe was issued, even though it accepted the exchange admin as a device administrator.

Has anyone else seen this behavior? I really don't want to return the phone, but I have to if I can't figure this out.

T-Mobile version, updated to 4.4.
[Moto X Q&A] fury683:
They make you wipe the phone to test that they can do it? That's pretty messed up, in my opinion.

Did you tree removing the exchange account and adding it again? Clear cache/data for the Email app (the yellow icon one). Double check that the device administrator was activated?
[Moto X Q&A] wbabbit:
Pretty normal, honestly, in a corporate environment. The company pays for the phone and the service, but in exchange they must have the ability to remote wipe it if it is lost and has company info on it (my email).

I did remove it, it won't let me add it again (likely because of the wipe). I might try the cache/data thing though. And yes, it is listed in the administrators. Thank you for answering, though.
[Moto X Q&A] fury683:
I know having the -ability- to wipe is normal. I have used the corporate email policy on my phones in the past (not currently) but I didn't have to do a "test wipe" to erase everything on my phone just to be sure that they could in the future. That seems ridiculous. Hopefully they let you restore everything on company time.
[Moto X Q&A] wbabbit:
Oh, sorry I wasn't clear. It only applies if it is a new model of phone that has not been tested in the past. This case shows their reasoning, which now that it has failed the test no one with a moto x will be allowed on the server. So if I had a galaxy S4 or something like that I would get on with no testing at all.
[Moto X Q&A] brorex:
There is problems with exchange on 4.4 I believe 4.4.1 has fixed these problems. That is probably why remote wipe isn't working check this thread if you are rooted this fixed my exchange syncing problems I was having http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2531268 Hope that will help you out. If nothing else maybe downgrade to 4.2 till your phone gets a 4.4.2 update (if it gets the update)
[Moto X Q&A] icon123:
Brorex is correct. Although I haven't checked the version I'm using (4.4.2) to see if it it accepts remote wipes, I assume it would. It does fix the sync issues 4.4 was having. The other suggestion would be to use touchdown.
[Moto X Q&A] ericizzy1:
hi, had exchange issues on 4.4 that made me downgrade to 4.2.2, problems i had on 4.4 were that i have 3 accounts, and when i set them, some show calendar, some dont, some push emails , some dont.

you use the fix you linked to on moto x 4.4 from which carrier?

which issues that you had did it fix for you?

thanks

I couldn't sync at all wouldn't ever connect to the server. I have a gsm Dev Ed. Exchange should work the same on all versions as it is just an app
