[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo1691:
Solved!!

Okay. I am now on 4.4.2!! Cheers!!

But dirty flashing didn't worked for me!

I flashed the system.img and boot.img from 4.4 base, and then tried flashing 4.4.1. It worked. But flashing 4.4.2 zip failed just like before.

So after that I took a backup of my sd card and did a full flash of 4.4 base. (KRTO) and then updated to 4.4.2>flashed twrp>waited for OTA>installed OTA from twrp. Worked like a charm.

Now the challenge lies in restoring the data back completely. I have a nandroid backup and TiBu. Guess I will be usin TiBu!!

This thread will be an excellent guide for people facing me problem update OTA over rooted stock rom!

Thanks everyone for their help and support!! Cheers

happy holidays indeed!

The nice thing about nandroids is that you can jump back and forth between two ROMs if necessary.

For instance, suppose you forgot to do TiBu in the prior ROM - no problem! Just make a nandroid of the current (new) ROM, restore the prior Nandroid, do the TiBu backup, restore the (new) ROM nandroid, and then perform the TiBu restores. Easy-peasy.

Backups are awesome. Make 'em often - you can always toss them after a while if you aren't going to use them.

Just picked up sm-p600. Screen has some fade or washing out at bottom. Does yours? Honestly I hope it's normal but if it's not I worry it'll slowly work it's way up the screen. Thanks. I'll post screens if I need to but you know what I'm saying;)

White cloudy fade at bottom corners.

Edit: back light is the word I'm looking for. Now I can search questions again so sorry if this has already been brought up.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] lecorbusier:
I got that, too. The only minor inconvenience with the display. The effect may vary somewhat among individual units, but it seems, as there's also a faint bleeding at the bottom, that theres only a bottom backlight, and the edges are sort of dead angles beside the led stripes.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] reggie cheeks:
Sounds like you're not taking yours back over it.. I think I'll keep it. I had a nightmare with the n7 when it first came out. Replaced 5 times. I don't want to go through that again. Thanks for response:)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bustinjussell:
Hello,

Device: Asus Transformer Prime TF201

In a bit of a pickle, I flashed a recovery and it succeeded then tried to boot which worked, the touch interface wouldn't work so I rebooted and thought it'd be a good idea to clear the Cache. Now I cant get to recovery or Android OS and my tablet is stuck at the Asus boot screen, It is now in APX mode.

It appears in Windows 7's Device Manager as Asus Transformer Prime APX Interface (after I installed the drivers). It doesn't appear in the adb devices list and as APX under 'Unspecified' in devices and printers. I have had a look on forums and online but there are so many variation and its a bit overwhelming.

I sent it into the retailer I bought it from and said I "turned it on after not using in awhile and it get stuck at the Asus Logo, long story short they contacted Asus and were told that the device was unlocked and they coild fix it at my cost or I could try.

Should I just get them to fix it or am I able to fix it myself?

[General Questions and Answers] Aakashtitli:
Guys, need help desparately. I flashed a stock ddmc1 firmware from galaxy updates. Followed the instructions perfectly. But it failed kept going into bootloop. After odin downloaded the firmware into the phone, it restarted. Then installation progressed but when data partition was to be mounted, it failed. It was something like "E:......(could not be mounted)", or something of that sort. Then it went into bootloop. It keeps booting. So i tried to flash a ddlj1 firmware. But same thing happened. And so i have come back to xduosv3 which is not giving me any problem. Except, i cant use ext partition created by the cwm recovery. Was running akuro data2sd. I used root explorer to create system/sd. I ran the script gave me all ok except one fail. Then i ran the script again all were ok. So i restarted. After restart all folders in system/sd were deleted and no change in internal storage. Tried cronmod but same thing happens.

someone please give me a solution....

[HTC One X] osh89:
Help my hox is lock on sentinel 4.75 and I cant flash any other rom onto it.

Every time I try to load another rom it crashed at the htc boot screen and never load (I have left it for up to 20 mins)

When this happens the only thing I can do is reload a nandroid of sentinel 4.75 and flash the boot image to return to my previous rom.

I have tried multiple roms including probam, sentinel 5.0, xenonhd and icj with no luck on any of them.

I am on Hboot 1.31 and have installed philz recovery.

Recently I found that my phone had no root access and had to reflash the rom - again the only one that worked was sentinel 4.75

Is there anything I can do to fix my phone to allow me to load another rom. Im finding different issues every time I reload sentinel and would really love to load something else.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Update the hboot :)
[HTC One X] Rowlf:
I am guessing that you are forgetting to flash the boot image included in the rom you desire to install.

For example you want to install sentinel v5.00.

update: forgot to mention that you need to update your hboot to run newer roms. you can find proper

hboot update files for your cid in xda forum. Credits to Mr Hofs for the reminder.

Follow these steps.

Technical terms:

adb or fastboot folder: a folder where you have fastboot.exe and adb.exe

HOX: HTC One X

preparation:

a. go to your fastboot or adb folder and rename any 'boot.img' to anything else, like sentinel475.img

b. download the zip file of the rom you want to install

c. copy this zip file into your HOX

d. open the zip file and copy the 'boot.img' file into your adb or fastboot folder

e. make sure your HOX has atleast 60% charge(50% is also fine)

Flashing procedure:

Reboot into recovery

Select 'wipe data/factory reset'

Select 'wipe data/factory reset for new rom' ( applicable to philz recovery only)

Then go back to main menu in recovery

Select 'install zip from sdcard'

Select the zip file, the one you copied to your HOX

Once it has been flashed properly

Reboot into bootloader

connect your HOX with your PC and make sure the HOX display shows 'fastboot usb' in red

open a command window and go to your fastboot folder

type in fastboot flash boot boot.img

type in fastboot erase cache

type in fastboot reboot

disconnect your hox and wait for 5 to 7 minutes for hox to boot into desktop

Thats it. I always follow these steps and everything is fine. You also have to flash gapps zip file but we need to get a proper rom

loaded first before we can do anything else. gapps is always flashable later so no worries about it.

BTW, does it say 'Unlocked' or 'Relocked' in your bootload on the top of the screen?

Can you post the steps you are following to flash other roms? May be you are missing some steps.

Most of the times, a rom will not boot if you don't flash the boot.img that came with the rom.

Thanks, and let me know your results

[Disclaimer: If you follow these steps then you automatically agree to not hold me and all xda forum staff and members responsible for

any damage that might have resulted following or not following these instructions properly or improperly.]
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Leave the steps above for now. First give me the outcome of

Fastboot getvar version-main
[HTC One X] osh89:
Thanks rowlf I have installed a few roms before and am familiar with the installation process.

Sorry mistaken it is hboot 1.36

Mr hofs - the version is 3.14.707.24

In case you need cid is HTC__044
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
I suggest you run the ruu to get back to full stock and try to update via official ota.

http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_296434_signed.exe

Get the hboot higher up.

Edit :

1.36 ? Thats fine for all roms. When you install a new one i always advice to do the full wipe manually. Factory reset, wipe caches and format cache,data and system ! Then install the rom.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArtOfSnaila:
Since installing CM11 I have been seeing very high CPU clock frequencies, even in sleep mode. I haven't changed anything in CPU governs or any system stuff. The frequency would spike for a little bit, dive down to 382-1280 for about 7 seconds, and then go back to 1512 for a long time. CPU load is relatively low, however

Here is all I have installed

Phone- Nexus 4

ROM- CM11 Nightly 12-20-13

I have been seeing a similar problem on my HTC One with CM11. I am using Android Tuner to adjust the CPU frequency, and I will set the range in there to 384 MHz - 1.72 GHz, it will stay at that range for a few minutes, and then the range will adjust itself to 1.72-1.72 GHz. Something is changing it, but I don't know what.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Psywar28:
I am not really sure how to explain what is going on so I made a video to kind of show.

Sorry it is shaky I was holding my camera and trying to use the phone at the same time.

So I did the HTC Unlock Bootloader thing about 2 months ago and I have been stuck with a phone that will not update or anything anymore.

I got fed up with trying to get it to work so I have just been using the phone as is, but it is getting slow and buggy on me so I would like to finish the rooting or get it back to stock or something.

When I boot into recovery as you will see nothing works.

HTC has an update right now on my phone and if I download and go to install the update it reboots into recovery and there is an error saying it could not mount the internal storage or something so update was aborted.

I was hoping someone could watch this video and then point me in the right direction of what to do next.

I tried to get a good shot of the recovery screen so you could see S-ON and the versions n junk.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
The first problem is CWM does not play nice with the Evo 4G LTE you need to use TWRP.

If you want to take the OTA Update you will need to re-lock your bootloader and install a stock recovery.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
^This. You've most likely borked your misc partition with CWM, so you'll need to fix that at some point. As for the rest, you can either do as Bigdaddy says, or install TWRP recovery and flash a ROM.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Psywar28:
I downloaded GooManager and attempted to install TWRP. It said it installed but when I rebooted in to recovery it was still using CWM.

Any thoughts on how to force this install? Also when I tried to reboot into recovery using the GooManager app it would not reboot.

I will keep fussing with it and see if I can get TWRP to install.

Oh Bam! I got TWRP working.

Beautiful. I just need to find a ROM to use now..

Ran into an issue.. I was attempting to install CM 11

It has failed on me. Any idea's why?

EDIT: weird note too.. I just went to boot back into the System and TWRP told me I lost Root Permissions.. and it attempted to fix it.. Dunno if it did yet or not.

BAH... Wont reboot back into the System.. Cycles twice and then goes back into TWRP Recovery.

EDIT EDIT: Ok.. So I got some of it fixed.. I ended up getting this Sense 5 ROM installed.. now I am installing this CM 10.2 ROM which seems to be working..

I just can't figure out why CM 11 wont install.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
You probably have the wrong twrp for cm11. You need to use the recovery that is in the first post of the cm11 thread. To install it you'll need to do fastboot flash recovery.

You can get it from the first post here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2518211
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Psywar28:
Yeah I noticed I do have the wrong recovery for it.

I will attempt to install the one for CM 11..

Any idea why this Sense 5 ROM I am using will make phone calls but will not send any SMS's to anyone? Just keeps saying failed...

I kinda dig this Sense 5 ROM.. I have not been able to figure it out.

EDIT:

Got the new TWRP.img file installed.. I had a hard time doing it in Terminal Emulator so I just downloaded a freaking app that installed custom recoveries.

So it successfully installed CM11.. Now I am sitting here waiting for it to boot up.

I have the logo spinning around and around.. I hate these boot animations cuz I can never tell if it is stuck in a boot loop or if it is just working hard.

So I will give it 15/20mins.. Then I am not sure wtf to do other than go back to Sense 5.. Which I installed for a second time and I still could not get SMS to send or receive.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
Glad you got it to boot.

If it's spinning it will probably boot up.

Since you did moonshine you should have been able to install the recovery with fast boot.

It's a good practice to have.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Psywar28:
Yeah CM 11 finally booted up.

I can make phone calls but I cannot send or receive SMS. Same issue I was having with the Sense 5 ROM.

I have been through all the settings I can find and nothing has worked yet.. Any ideas what might be wrong?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
After you did moonshine did you make a call on sense and use the self activate feature in settings?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Psywar28:
Yes I did.

When I loaded into the Sense 5 ROM it did not have any of my Profile Information so I could not use the phone with out doing the activation thing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
Hmm. I don't know then. I never tried any of the sense 5 ROMs.

Personally at this point I would flash stock rooted, then self activate, update prl and profile, then call sprint and ask them to refresh my connection with them.

Then verify everything works, create a backup of that, and then go back to cm11.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Psywar28:

I pressed the power button to turn off, pressed even a minute but nothing changed.

I pressed the power button along with VOL+, recovery modes come and goes.

I pressed the power button along with VOL-, download mode comes for 2-3sec, Odin detect/add the device and suddenly again the loop starts so odin removed the device too.

So, I tried but nothing work, its keep looping again and again.

First of all I am posting this question here as I could not find a dedicated area for A210 tablet.

So here is the issue I am facing with my Tablet

My acer iconia 10" tablet worked great since yesterday, suddenly today it shows 3% charge despite continuously for many hours. I tried two difference chargers as well. The tab starts and works OK with power connected but the charge still remains 3%. The power LED also shows red when charger plugged in. The tab I got from Walmart about 6 months.

I am not sure if the battery can be dead in one day.

As this was a refurbished tab, I doubt if Acer will help without any warranty active.

Please suggest the best and cheap way to address this. I do not wish to spend on battery unless I know if it is the battery only.

[Moto G General] neugenusis:
So I think I got free tethering to work on my MG with tmobile $30 prepaid plan by changing the APN, but not 100% sure if I got the process down correctly since I've been tinkering, rooted and still on 4.3.

Anyways, maybe you guys can give a try and see if it works. This is aimed towards t-mobile users who don't have hotspot as part of their plan or have already exhausted their monthy tethering limit.

steps:

- go to settings > More....> mobile networks > Access Point names

- add a new APN by hitting the "+" sign

- Set "Name" to what ever you'd like (e.g. Hotspot4life)

- Set "APN" to fast.t-mobile.com

- Set "APN protocol" to IPv4/IPv6 or IPv4

- Leave everything else untouched

- hit menu button then select save

- Select the APN just created.

- Active native tethering (assuming you've adjusted ID and password already to your liking)

- If it works, go back into settings and select old APN... and check if tethering has been blocked.

Note: there's no need to reboot when switching APNs.

If it doesn't work, then a file change I did beforehand while rooted made a difference or something else was a factor.
[Moto G General] helppme:
t mobile and Three use Packet Sniffing to check the file headers to detect tethering. If you tether an iOS device or an OSX device to your phone, often they will not get flagged and the tethering will work. If you use a Windows PC or other device it will be detected immediately. I mention this, as it could be a factor if you tried tethering with an ipad or something and got it to work. Messing with the APN on Three has no effect, so I'd be surprised if it works with T Mobile.
[Moto G General] :
Thanks for the tip! I found that this works, but unreliably on my Moto G.

I just got a MG last week and was frustrated to find tethering would not work at all out of the box. I stumbled across your post and made the changes you recommended and it worked very well at first - for maybe15 minutes or so. Then I noticed my Chromebook lost connection and upon further diagnosis it was the Moto G that lost connection to the T-Mobile network. I tried to turn of tethering, but that didn't help and I finally had to reboot the phone to get it back on the network. I switched back to the default APN and the phone worked reliably again, but obviously not tethering. In the past couple days I've tried the new APN with your settings a few times and get similar results - it works for a while, but then the phone loses cell connectivity. I've since found that I toggling Airplane Mode on and off will restart the cell connection and tethering will also start working again, so it kind of works but not as well as it should.

I've been doing more searching regarding the fast.t-mobile.com APN and other threads seem to indicate that APN is specifically for LTE phones. Since the Moto G doesn't have an LTE chip, I wonder if that's causing the reliability problem?

Brandon

PS - I think there might be a typo in your instructions and fast.t-tmobile.com should be fast.t-mobile.com - with just 1 t in the t-mobile. Thanks again!
