1. Let go of CWM. No one uses it anymore. Download TWRP here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2 It will probably fix your errors and it has a lot more features than CWM, is more polished etc.

2. Without NVFlash you can't downgrade. Here is guide how to do it: https://www.androidroot.mobi/pages/guides/tegra3-guide-nvflash-jellybean/ If you don't want to downgrade I recommend you to install CMB rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2501812 It's Android 4.3.1, everything works and is probably fastest ROM that we can get on our primes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] emyllis:
Thank a bunch zdenko1.

I'm on the case, however I left my laptop entirely flat overnight, so it's upto 0% and 3% charged. And it's Christmas eve!

It's really good to have someone help me out with a bit of detail - so thanks for this.

If I don't post, assume it works, and here's to a peaceful Christmas break to you all
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] emyllis:
Now I think I have cooked my goose!

I was unable to get anywhere with this,

So with an air of confidence I ran a program (again the name escapes me) which lets you return your computer back to stock, from which one is able to get it working and you're back to square 1.

Great I thought and as ususal I throw my self both feet in.

It formats fine etc until it asks me to get the original update ROM/blob I think -

which I didn't have, so hen tried to download it and couldn't find it.

So now I think it really is screwed :(

Nothing formatted, I can't enter recovery mode and things are looking bad.

Does ODIN work/provide an answer? If so please help!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] emyllis:
Of course I realise that ODIN is Samsung own!

So I think I need a ROM/BLOB that restores me to a working copy via bootloader?

Is that on the right line?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] emyllis:
Just seeing if I have to give this up as lost and sell as broken or can it be resurrected?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mefloump:
Using the link you provided in the OP, scroll down until you see the downgrade hairybean 4.1.1 bootloader and recovery. That should get you to a point of being able to flash a new rom.

This is the one SEVERELY annoying thing I've run into on the Wizard (and on the SDA, for that matter)

IF you have an EDGE session up and hit the END key on the phone - even if the keypad is locked - the EDGE session is killed.

This sucks SEVERELY. It makes Agile, for example, damn near impossible to use if you stick the phone in your pocket, as eventually you'll bump the END key and then bang - you're offline.

Anyone know a way to turn this off? Its something that has bothered me since I first played with the SDA - and MDA.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] outz:
tried mortsaver?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kamskii:
In another thread, i found this..

When I added it, I realized by simply pushing the red/end button, my gprs/edge connection would disconnect. When I removed the reg key, the problem went away. You might want to check your registry to see if this key exist and try removing it. HTH.[/quote]

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rehab4Life:
I'm going to be purchasing a Nexus 5 soon, and I will be using it on t mobile. But I was wondering if there was any difference between the one Google sells on their website or the one on t mobiles. Because on t mobiles it costs about $100 dollars more. So if you've purchased one, or know about this please comment. Thank you.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illnez:
there are only two models of the nexus 5 hardwarewise. d820 for north america and d821 for the rest of the world. there are no carrier specific models as far as i know.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rehab4Life:
So then I shouldn't worry about getting slower/or different signal if I get one or the other?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtg981:
So the play store n5 is same as Sprint, t-mob versions? Not hardware wise but software overlay and updates.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illnez:
you should get the correct one for your country :)

but i think you can only purchase the right one, so you shouldn't worry about it. the one from the play store and t-mobile store are the same imho.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rehab4Life:
Okay thanks a lot guys.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
yeah it has cdma and gsm hardware and i don't see multiple firmware build numbers out there so there aren't carrier skins and apps.. they all have everything needed for sprint, att, or t-mobile as far as what the phone needs. but maybe only the sprint ones are registered on the sprint network with the imei or whatever. verizon is not supported.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illnez:
more than this, the modem is the same for both models (d820 and d821)! this is really cool, so i can use the .15 modem in germany and have a better signal. originally this modem was for the d820 (north america). i think the only difference are hardwarebound frequences.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
they are exactly the same, only where you buy it is different.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxtcee:
i thought tmobile is only 16g
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Correct. Thats the only difference.

http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phones/google-nexus-5.html#features
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yup, tmo only sell the 16gb version. and you can buy the 16gb or 32gb version from the play store.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxtcee:
if you have the scratch by it from play store its cheaper in the long run
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
it is.

but i bought mine through tmobile because i couldnt afford it at the moment. the good thing about tmo is making payments on it instead of paying in full. bought it last month, $43 down, $17 a month, first payment in january :)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Repulsa:
If your getting annoyed with this one try to flash a pre-rooted rom from djembey's thread and once your done install the triangle away to reset the binary and that should fix your problem and if you really want a stock rom then flash the stock rom from samsung and everything should be fine. have a nice day.
[Motorola Droid 4] PJroast:
The problem I am having is that my phone is bricked. It won't boot to any ROM and it's not cooperating with RSD 5.6 Lite.

I was running CM11, the 12/20 nightly with PA-GApps (Full Modular pa_gapps-modular-full-4.4.2-20131215-signed.zip), and last night I decided to download the 12/21 nightly and update. I was using the CM Updater in the phone settings and I downloaded it fine (I assume), went to flash, and it only gets past the red M and nothing else.

I have been trying numerous sites/methods to reset it to factory settings and none of it is working. I've tried all the zips at the sbf.droid-developers and I keep getting the same error:

When I go into AP Fastboot, I see the following:

AP Flashboot Flash Mode (S)

0A.77

eMMC Info: Size 16G

To return to normal mode - first press power key to power down

Device is LOCKED. Status Code: 0

Battery OK

OK to Program

Transfer Mode:

USB Connected

I originally rooted it with the CM guides and used SafeStrap Recovery as the recovery software.

Like I said, its stuck and I cannot get it to work with my RSD Lite.

If you can get into AP fastboot, you should be able to use the droid 4 utility in the development section to flash everything back to original.

Also, the guide you were using was for android 2.3. I don't think you can downgrade to eclair from jelly bean or kitkat. the utility will install 4.1. i'd recommend selecting the full wipe option.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dibe:
I will try to switch the camera app to the front facing camera and it will just display a black screen and then after a few moments I will get a message saying that the camera app has stopped working.

I installed Goldeneye mod a few months ago and that is when I noticed this issue. It looks like Goldeneye is using the stick TW camera app. Well I just installed the latest version/nightly of the CyanogenMod and that looks like it has the 4.3 camera app. I just tried the front facing camera and the same black screen and freezing of the camera app came up.

I am downloading the latest version of Goldeneye now and am going to try with that but the download is going to take about two hours.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have a stock Verizon G2 and I did the update this morning. Now it's stuck on "Team Win Recovery Project v2.6.3.2.....

I"m now backing up the System...Is this how to do the updates now? Where do I go from here?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swagner53:
The OTA will not not work if you are rooted and have a custom recovery. You need to adb to the phone and enter the following to fix it:

adb shell

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota of=/sdcard/fota-backup.img

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

Just the second command should do it if you are in terminal in TWRP.

Good luck

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deftoner:
I saw that sony coorect the camera problem when you unlock the bootloader, so with bootloader unlocked can I flash recovery and then roms? In my previous cellphones (one X and htc inpsire 4g) I could do that, but I'm not sure here in sony.

I'm asking becouse I still on lastest official rom and I cant root it with downgrading.

Thanks all for the time :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deftoner:
OK I see that I can do much everything but I'll loose my DRM Keys.

If I got it right, some sony software stop working, and warranty will lost forever... right?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
but if you unlock the bootloader why wont you bother to root it?

Unlock. flash an insecure kernel and then SuperSU

Root is not an issue with warrenty its the bootloader so if you do that you may as well root

1. Unlock Bootloader ..warranty void

2. Sony Application work well

3. Wat doesnt work...x reality ...(wat the use i dont know ) , music info,

with x reality you mean the camera effects? (like the fish and that things?)

Personal choice am not fan of sony app........i just wish i could install cynogen....plain stock rom..with every function intact

btw Z1 Camera is all dependent on its extension and drm provider, drm dialog....if you root dont remove it ..yr camera will fail to start
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deftoner:
I found it:

So, how does X-Reality work? According to Sony, the software breaks down the signal sent to the display into several components – texture, outline, contrast, and color. Each one is separately analyzed and processed, to ensure the clearest, sharpest, most attractive final image.

I'll miss x-reality?

You can find X reality through...Setting...Display..........it is suppose to enhance image but in reality it make no deference

SPB Clone is a fine bit of software. It makes a full ghost copy of your BA that you can reinstall after a hard reset - all the registry settings, installed software. etc.

The demo version is fully working but after installing via a clone you get a nag screen that continually pops up to remind you to buy the software.

Because I was so impressed with SPB Clone, I wrote to SPB to ask them if they could provide me with a single user licence at a less painful price, since the PDA I was cloning was actually my phone, and I'm not a big company with many PDAs. They told me that, sadly, SPB Clone was only available on an enterprise licence but then they told me how to remove the nag screen....

1. Open the folder \Windows\StartUp in File Explorer.

2. Tap and Hold and select View All Files.

3. Select bootupdt.exe and select Cut from context menu.

4. Change to the root folder "\" and tap and hold on the empty space within folder view. Select Paste from context menu.

5. Soft reset.

6. Remove bootupdt.exe from the root folder.

Last year when I had my tires changed the clerk put a sign on my inner mirror to come back in 50km. And there was of course an ad on the sticker. Your post is like "Hey, today I opened my car and pulled the sticker of the mirror. You won't believe: I've got clear sight again!"

@tintoy: Generosity? I consider this being spam. Nobody wants new posts about "I now know how to reboot!" or "My how-to: Plugging USB cable in". I would accept those kinda posts if he'd just tell about product X, which is cheaper than Y but has same or more features like A, B, C.

Oh, well I'm terribly sorry that my lo-tech post offends your obviously tender, high-brow sensibilities.

God help you if someone with less knowledge than you asks you a question face-to-face; I'd imagine they'd deck you with an attitude like yours.

Try and remember that there are, in fact, some people that don't know as much about a subject as you and that, to them, as it was to me, a tip like this is very useful, although it's obviously far, far beneath someone who is clearly an IT deity. Please allow me to prostrate myself before you - in fact, I'm genuflecting before my monitor even now!

Mind you; your grammar, spelling and punctuation aren't up to much. If you're going to slight someone on a written forum, at least make sure you can write, eh?

I'm a firm believer in freedom of information.

Ok, your're starting to get insulting. That's why I'll answer the last time to this thread.

This is not comparable because this is a forum, not a chat. Most questions can be answered by just searching the forum. And I was not against your post in whole but about the way you described it.

Farcical. No comment.

Here you stepped over the line. If you ain't got no further arguments (if there has been at least one already) you start to insult people. That will make you look respectable, indeed. Although English is not my mother tongue I do speak more than one language. How many do you speak? (Not that I'm really interested.)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] madcapmagician:
Your original post was both rude and insulting, hence my reply.

How so? Do you not bring your manners to a forum? You are, in effect, saying that because you cannot see your fellow forumers face-to-face you feel you do not have to be polite to them.....and you then get upset when they are impolite back to you.

Why do you assume I didn't? Again, you are being insulting. I scoured the web to find the answer, like most other noobs would do. From the way you wrote, I got the impression you are very IT-literate - well, I am not and there are many others like me. My post is for them.

Then I suggest you re-read your first post: in your head, when you typed it, it may have sounded witty and polite and to-the-point; that is not how it came across. If you felt my description was at fault, you should have said so, rather than making rude, tangential comments.

Just to reiterate the point.

Agreed, although in my head, when I typed it, it was quid pro quo.

I will publicly apologise here and now for being rude.

Please understand that there is nothing berating in this post - I am merely trying to articulate myself without you being able to physically hear my voice.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] cw6447:
Yes, you are.

Hmmm, interesting

Exsqueezeme

Wow, excellent points, all of them!

Stunning!

Do you guys know how tired the rest of us are of this kind of non-productive grade school banter? I am waiting for the "your momma" insults to start any minute. Can someone please delete this thread.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Zylograth:
The original post in this thread was a useful piece of information on how to remove the nag screen on a piece of software.

It was not a "How-to" on rebooting or plugging in a USB cable, and i am sure that anyone who wants to use the SPB Clone would be grateful for this information.

The fact that you either didnt understand what the post was about or didnt care doesnt mean you have to immediately flame the poster, if you have no use for the information in a certain thread just move on to the next thread. Trading insults back and forth is the biggest spam anyone could expect to see in a forum, especially this one, which provides so much good information to those of us who use these devices.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] cw6447:
I continue to be floored by people's casual attitude toward trading software keys, hacking apps, and getting around nag screens. If the developer did not want you to see the nag screen then he/she WOULD NOT HAVE PUT IT THERE. If the developer gave instructions to one user on how to remove the nag, then great...what a nice developer/company. But unless they expressly gave that person permission to post it out to potentially thousands of people then it is JUST PLAIN WRONG. There is no gray area here, folks. Most of us have to live in a grown-up world and are tired of the impacts that other people's adolescent, situational ethics imposes on us. Do unto others...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Zylograth:
I agree with you on the ethics of "stealing" software, my main complaint here was the instant flaming that madcapmagician received after posting, that is not what this community is about. he was not posting a "how-to" on the process of rebooting, he was relaying the information given to him as he received it, i think that the information can be used by those who are ok with "stealing" software and those who disagree can just disregard the information. If the mods decide that the information shouldnt be here they have the power to remove it.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Bret:
Forgive me for carrying on with this ridiculous and pointless conversation but is it not in fact illegal to unlock contract mobile phones? Would the cellular providers be happy for 1000's of people to remove their branding and software from devices which they have sold? If the software company had not wanted to help the individual then they would not have told him to start with. I am sure that nobody is so special that a software company would whisper information into his ear that they didn't want to be made common knowledge.

This is a tech support forum, it has helped me as well as many, many other people. If you want to start talking about wrong, immoral, illegal or any other description you may have then start looking at what other people are doing.

I appreciate this forum, and it's members. For crying out loud, stop arguing and get on with the job in hand.
