Crap Crap Crap Crap Crap!

I forgot to Titanium Backup before doing the OTA update. Is there any way to get root back?

I am stock with root. I got root originally by unlocking the bootloader and doing the temp TWRP and then back to stock and relock.

My current state is 4.4.2 locked with stock bootloader. Is there any possible way to get root back without wiping the device?

Frick!

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Synyster06Gates:
Just wondering... why would you ever want to relock the bootloader?

If the bootloader is locked and you don't have root, you're going to have to wipe it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucke:
if you unlocked the bootloader once already, it doesn't automatically lock again. just flash TWRP again and then you can flash Super SU.

*EDIT* didn't see that you relocked the bootloader... like above... why would you want to do that?

Honestly. I hated the little icon on the startup screen. :D

That is more or less what I figured. Well ****e! My own damn fault.

There used to be a way to root the nexus 10 without unlocking. That is why I asked.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrGrimace:
Too Late. I am all back up and running now. It really isn't that big a pain, just time consuming. I relocked before because some said that there are ways to defeat the pattern lock via an unlocked bootloader. Since all I really want is root for Titanium Backup and AdFree, I figured why make myself more open to attack. *puts tinfoil back on head*
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CRIME INC.:
Well at least now you can use that app i linked, to lock and unlock your bootloader at will

Hi everyone,

What is the most stable ROM for the Vivid as of now. I was on the most recent (downloaded from another source that was more updated) DeSensed Vivid 4.0.3 with a Kozmik kernel, but have had problems with lag and etc.

It's important that the ROM has good call volume that is close to that of the stock.

I recently got an HD2. According to the seller it is unlocked, but With my AT&T SIM card in it, it won't connect to the network. Originally it had WM6.5 but I just installed ICS and it does the same thing. Help?
[HD2 General] Pr.TOSHIBA:
I think it possibly my SIM card was locked to my previous phone (I don't think I would have done that though). It wouldn't let me into the SIM lock info in the settings and now it is PUK-locked. I will try to get the PUK code from AT&T.

EDIT:

I just got the PUK code and unlocked the SIM. AT&T wouldn't show up in the available networks before; now it does. It still won't connect though. It cannot get past "Registering on AT&T..."

[Moto X Q&A] erikskean:
Hey All,

I'm hoping you will have some insight on an issue I'm experiencing with my Sprint Moto X (stock 4.2.2). Since activation I have not been able to send SMS/MMS when WiFi is turned on. With WiFi turned on, I have connectivity via WiFi (blue), but my cell network signal bars displays grey. WiFi = blue, cell network = grey. With this configuration, sending SMS/MMS results in "unable to send" error after minutes of attempts. As soon as I turn WiFi off, SMS/MMS functions again. This is obviously a problem but I have not been able to find an answer to this issue. I have a ticket open with Sprint but that doesn't usually get very far. I have performed resets for re-activation, PRL updates, and Profile updates. Nothing seems to be working.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

[Moto X Q&A] mrl515:
The gray has nothing to do with it, that only signifies Google services. It's just that a lot of people with N5's and a few with Moto X's have an issue where when connected to Wi-Fi, SMS and MMS have issues sending and/or receiving. There seems to be no indication of why, though some N5 users seem to remedy the issue by switching to 3g instead of 4g, but this hasn't alleviated the issue for me

well the thing is I'm coming for my original 10.1Wifi and have had custom ROM since day one and being able to do the navigation bar for orientation it's always there, not sure I can get used to the situation of having it strictly on one side. Of course it is rooted all 5 of our Samsung phones are rooted and running custom Roms. Before my note3 usually hadn't bought then till the roms where already established. Haven't used Xposed but guess time to learn.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Gents, besides posting here I'm a "recognized contributor" on Tytung's NexusHD2 forum. He now has a well running version of KitKat available on his site. I posted last night there that I was in the beginning stages of building a CM-10-1.3 from the sources for the Amaze. I also asked him how he was able to solve the SD-card mounting issues that have been plaguing most HTC legacy devices like our Amaze with KitKat. He responded with the following info that I'm sharing here in hopes it will help in resolving our KitKat SD-card mounting issues. Below are relevant snippets from our discussion:

Me: "How were you able to resolve the SD mounting issue that the other HTC legacy devices seem to be having with KitKat? "

Tytung: "The most old fix I knew for the USB Mass Storage of the legacy devices is from here.

Nowadays, most of those commits are merged into CM. You only need to take care of the Amaze 4G "device tree".

I.e. three files including BoardConfigCommon.mk (or BoardConfig.mk), init.[yourDevice].usb.rc, and overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/xml/storage_list.xml.

For KitKat on HD2, I added this commit: passion: sdcard: update per kitkat That's all. ;) "

Now of course we would need to modify his suggestions since we have both internal and external SD-cards in our devices and have a different partitioning scheme. I also believe he has disabled MTP on his builds both in the the kernel and the ROM. He mentioned on a thread about one of his previous JB ROMs a while back that it wasn't worth the effort to get it working right, so he just uses the old way of mounting SD cards.

I hope this post is useful to all of you working so hard to bring our Amaze up to date.

Ciao

Edit: a couple of other things to take into consideration. He uses an older kernel source (2.6.x) than we do, I'm not even sure if a kernel that old even had mtp support without major backporting. Also I'm not sure about what mode of SELnux support he's using if he even uses it at all.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
It's worth a shot :) thanks... Most of the fixes are source modifications not sure how sense roms will react for it.. Still worth a shot with the edit-able ones..
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
I'm not too sure about sense either. The post was geared more towards the guys working on the AOSP/ CM/ PACman builds that have been having difficulty with SD mounting. I didn't even know you sense devs were having this issue too. Tytung has been developing AOSP / CM based ROMs for the HD2 so I don't know what would be applicable with sense.

Frankly, this device is my first experience with sense and android. My HD2 had windows and sense before I converted to android. Although at first glance they look similar we all know that underneath the skin they are entirely different. I didn't like sense at all in Windows, but then again I've been using Linux for so many years that I don't care for anything on windows. Lol

There was a definite learning curve when I got my amaze because it took me awhile to explore It's features vs what I was used to with CM. But as you all can see I'm a quick learner. Not to bad for a: 51 year old truck driver. Lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] jeepers007:
What's really strange is that the amaze had no issues up until this latest iteration (4.4 based Android).

The reference documentation provided for sd mounting by google does not even deal with the kind of storage the amaze and others have with both an internal (separately partitioned) sd and an external sd. http://source.android.com/devices/tech/storage/config-example.html

4.2.x was the last of the old Vold.fstab type mounting, and things have now moved to the fuse daemon. I've tried the old mount methods (except for this one) and they have not worked in kitkat.

The HTC Ville C2, a close cousin to the amaze, had a ROM update from HTC, where they re-mapped the internal storage, removing the separate partition, and making the internal storage virtual - which seems to be Google's preferred method moving forward. It makes me wonder if they knew that the fuse daemon simply would not support our type of storage.

I appreciate your suggestion here, and I'm going to give it a go.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
[MENTION=693610]jeepers007[/MENTION] I think Google has dropped the ball on this because they're trying to discourage manufacturers from having both internal and external storage. I still can't for the life of me understand why they and Apple are so adamantly against SD cards? Another idea would be finding another device (doesn't matter make or model) that has the 2 SD card setup where devs have had success with KK and picking their brain. (Unfortunately, too few devices have both internal and external SD cards.) It's ionic that a major selling point of large internal storage has now become a curse for us.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
According to my research it just Google hates external mounting reason they made it mount as media transfer protocol but there's a workaround for that and the rom fixes are a oem hack... I guess the workaround is a pain reason companies release out with single storages, but it's do-able :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] TonyStark R.I.P.:
As this is a possible workaround, this has been moved to the Q&A section.
[HTC Amaze 4G] MiCeltic:
There's a lot of info out there about getting away from sd cards. 2 articles that I had on hand discuss it some, with the key informants being, Dan Morrill and Dianne Hackborn both key players in Android development. Here's those articles I had that discuss it, but there's lots more. Now these are more the why and not how to workaround; but, it does address the change from software that supports USB storage and hardware that doesn't to vice versa:

What ROM are you running before you try the kitkat flash? I had some issues with many apps restoring from even 4.3 to 4.4, Titanium Backup will back apps and app data, but a clean fresh ROM flash is best when going to kitkat. If your on stock 4.3 that was just released, then you have KNOX.

Alright so I have created a (SCENE) that I am exporting as an app where when a button is clicked it will (APP-LOAD APP), (TASK-WAIT-5 seconds) then (INPUT-BUTTON-VOLUME UP). My problem is I can only figure out how to make preset (Wait) times. I am looking for a way to make a user specified (Wait) time. I want to implement a slider in the app that adjusts how long the (TASK) should (WAIT) before performing the simulated button push. I tried my best to explain what I am trying to do. If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TiVa:
Which version are you using? JB/ICS or the one for Gingerbread or below?

For JB/ICS:

1/ place the slider on the scene - set it to default value 5 - go to 'value selected' - add new task variabele set - set %WAIT_TIME_SLIDER to %new_val

2/ no open the wait action you already made. tab on the two arrows that overlap, you now get the option to type a value instead of select it with a slider. type here: %WAIT_TIME_SLIDER

I didn't check this out, but it should work normally... good luck!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mc_becker56:
Thanks! For some reason though, it doesn't listen to the time wait command... it just issues the input button press immediately after the app is opened, regardless of what I set on the slider... hmm
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TiVa:
Go the the task where you have defined the Wait. Go to settings and set it to "abort existing task".

I just checked myself and that should work... (I'm not sure though WHY you need to set it to abort existing, but hey, it get's the job done :) )

Oops, yeah my bad haha. Thanks! Alright...what I'm looking to implement now is...ok, you know how we have the slider now. I want to be able to set the slider to the TIME WAIT then..have a button next to the slider that executes everything all together. So..I'm trying to have an app open, the slider sets the TIME WAIT before the INPUT VOLUME UP...but I want a button next to the slider that the user pushes after he sets the time wait for the above task.

That sounds confusing but I don't know a better way to word it haha.
