[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daRealDodo:
the dficua

Ha, made progress. I installed Superuser through adb and it gave me permission to access data and to rename apk_old back to apk. However, the folder has been wiped of all the apps. Luckily, I have a friend who also has a Galaxy Ace, I'll just copy the folder and paste it into /data, hopefully i'll bring back the default apps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCrayon:
$ is the normal shell

# is root shell

I forgot to tell you to try that on recovery mode to prevent the calling of SuperUser to grant privilegs, su binary itself should be in /system/xbin

When you restore apps remember also to fix permissions, user and group, it should be something like this:

# chmod 0664 /data/apk/*.apk

# chown system:system /data/apk/*.apk

check the right values in your friend's phone.

[HTC First] kuldeep_ch:
Dear experts, I have seen similar threads as with the issue I am facing but I wasnt sure of few parts and if the process as a whole could work for me.

Here's what I know and what the problem is all about, appreciate any help to get back the phone in working condition.

First the basics:

HTC first

GSM unlocked, Bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed

I wanted to delete and format the device as I intended to give this to my friend and I did go to TWRP menu and then clicked on advanced wipe etc and realized I did erase everything the phone needs even to bootup. This I have done without taking backup.

What it looks like now:

When I boot the device out from TWRP, the 'F' logo comes up and stays like that for ever. If I go to TWRP pressing the power and volume down together, it goes to the TWRP menu and thats it..no options seem to help me on this screen to go past the 'F' logo at startup. If I simply power down the device on the 'F' screen it restarts and goes to the same screen making it look like its in a loop. Not sure if this is called soft-brick or hard-brick but it looks like the phone is of no use to me right now.

Can you guys please help me with resolving the problem..any help will be much appreciated
[HTC First] abrahammmmmmm_:
Sideload the stock rom and then flash it :) I've been in your situation and that's all that was needed to be done.

Be sure to also flash the boot.img if you aren't s-off
[HTC First] kuldeep_ch:
More questions

Thanks Abraham for your quick response.

I am starter with Android so, please help me how to sideload and also on where to get stock rom. I will also be lying if I said I understood whats s-off..? Please help further

Thanks
[HTC First] kuldeep_ch:
S-ON it is

I have checked on HBOOT screen and its S-ON
[HTC First] abrahammmmmmm_:
No problem! :) just be sure to hit that thanks button

Well then you'll have to make sure you flash the boot.IMG as well,

So what you'll do is

1) find the stock ROM around these threads

2) sideload the ROM

3) flash it

4) flash the boot.IMG inside the rom

5) you're done!

Understanding what s-on/off won't be of use here really d:

And the stock ROM is somewhere around these threads. About the side loading you might find a tutorial for that on YouTube. Sorry if it seems that I'm just leaving you in the dust but I am typing this in a hurry since it's 2:50 am at my place. I will be back to whip up a tutorial for you if YouTube wasn't of much help
[HTC First] kuldeep_ch:
Okay

Let me try my best till its like a more sociable time for you tomm morning, I will post my updates on the thread on how far I go and any questions I may have..
[HTC First] abrahammmmmmm_:
Yeah, just be sure not to wonder off too far from these threads on to other forums and flash or do something that can brick the device

Oh and btw I edited my post bc I saw your othe reply stating that you aren't all that too advanced with this
[HTC First] kuldeep_ch:
boot.img

I should be finding the boot.img on the stock ROM itself, isnt it..?
[HTC First] abrahammmmmmm_:
That's correct. Unzip the ROM and it should be there
[HTC First] kuldeep_ch:
This is how far I could get

Got all stock ROM and the IMG files, installed android SDK

ADB doesnt recognize the device to copy the file for sideloading

Guess issue is with the fact USB debugging was disabled earlier on my device

Can you please advise further

Is it better to chat on google chat or something so its even faster and I could get this fixed tonight (my time)

Thank you
[HTC First] kuldeep_ch:
Finally got it fixed

Thanks for the help..it all worked fine and the device is now working fine..

Thanks for all the guidance
[HTC First] abrahammmmmmm_:
Great! Sorry I was away but it was getting very late. I'm glad everything worked out tho :)
[HTC First] russian392:
wait a sec...you dont have a rom or kernel on your device at the moment right?

then there is no way to turn on usb debug on or off cause there is nothing managing the device.

um...use cmd and do adb devices. if its not there then i have no idea but if fast-boot goes into usb mode try flasing it using code

not sure what you would use, but see if "fastboot flash update nameofROM.zip"

but im not sure if that is the right code

[General Topics] BGK:
Hello everyone,

I'm currently searching for a software which works in the background and automatically stores all incoming and sent SMSs and all incoming and outgoing calls into some text-file (or something similar, which can be easily processed on other devices) on WM2003SE devices like the Magician.

This should be done without any user interaction (i.e. call done or SMS sent/received -> new entry in log/message exported) and a hidden (not visible to the user) program would be preferred.

I already tried smsOrganizer, but obviously the author doesn't maintain this program any longer, as the downloaded version tells me some kind "new version available"-message while trying to export/backup the messages. Furthermore smsOrganizer is always visible on the today screen.

Is there anything like that available, which I haven't found yet?

Thanks for your help in advance an greetings,

i would like to say that htc 801e and htc 802d/w/t both are totally different in terms of specs.

I installed cyangenmod awhile back on my nook. Now I need to get back to the Nook stock android. I tried the procedure listed here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1663836 (It has worked in the pass on my tablet on the same SD cards.) When I try it I shut my nook completely off and I put the SD card in power it on using both the button method and the USB cable method to the same results, The Nook logo then directly to the cyanoboot menu. I used to be able to boot from the SD card just fine before cyangenmod.

Any help or tips would be very appreciated!

[RAZR i General] cupioscire:
After spamming the 4.4 update thread with phone comparison things, I decided to open a new thread.

Here we can compare other devices with the RAZR I and debate about stuff like that.

Now I will start.

After getting more and more problems with my RAZR I I decided to buy a new phone. I was searching for several weeks and now I have a moto X.(in Germany, bought via eBay, using Verizon KK ROM with fully supported German language)

What I have noticed so far:

-the X perfectly fits in your hand with a acceptable weight

-the battery consumption is better than the Ri's ( I get easy 20h of (my) normal use; Ri got only ~17h)

-the screen have a much higher resolution

-the X have a better performance, up to now I doesn't had any lags.

-the voice from outgoing calls is very clear, a bit better than the Ri; the voice quality of incoming calls depends on the calling phone

-both cameras of the X are better than the Ri's, but it have also problems when the light is low

-active display and touchless control are pretty neat

Wysyłane z mojego XT890 za pomocą Tapatalk 2
[RAZR i General] bongofred:
I think it is not fair to compare the Razr i against the X. The Moto X is without question the better phone by far, but that comes along with the fact that the X is a fully fledged flagship model of an Android and the Razr is and was a budget phone with medium specs. So a comparison can only be fair, if you compare it to phones in the same league like the Moto G, HTC One Mini, Samsung 4 mini and so on..

I recently had a Moto G in my hands and I can say that this phone is really remarkable, nice specs, nice design and it works like a charm. The only things that I noticed that are not to my liking is the bad camera and it is a bit too big for its own good. For my personal taste 4.3 is a perfect form factor, 4.5 is 0.2 inches too much. Also it is a bit thicker than the Razr i, so with my tiny little hands the G felt a bit bigger in my hands. Im not sure, if I just have to get used to that, but I really like the slim look and feel of the Razr i in comparison.
[RAZR i General] adddaamo:
Same here, I also think that Moto X is currently the best phone on the market but still little to big for me.
[RAZR i General] Sizzers:
I agree entirely.

I picked up a G over Christmas to cheer myself up a bit and to find out what all the fuss was about - is this phone really as good as they say for such a ridiculously low price? Well in my opinion yes, and more.

I'd had a number of frustrations with my XT890: random lagginess, certains apps not being compatible, battery life not being quite as good as I expected, amongst others. The one thing I absolutely love about the '90 though is the form factor and build quality, so IMO how does the G stack up against it? Well it's now very much my main phone.

Overall I find it's quicker and smoother with nowhere near as many lags, although whether this is down to JB 4.3, the chip, or a combination of both I have no idea, but for me it works better. The build quality is exemplary. It doesn't in any way look or feel like a plastic phone and is a rock solid build, which is a lesson Samsung should learn and I'm not talking about their budget end either. Battery life is better, beautiful screen, and couldn't be happier. True, the camera's c*** but I'm not going to use it anyway,so a big thumbs up!
[RAZR i General] iolinux333:
Thank you for the voice quality comparison on the Moto X that is great info!!!! Can someone comment on the same thing regarding the G?
[RAZR i General] cupioscire:
But it's only the X's screen size which is bigger than moto G's. These phone have nearly the same shape.

And the moto x doesn't feel so big.

To the problem with no SD-card-slot:

Yes that was the one point annoying me, but to be serious, even the nexus phones haven't such a slot and Google presents how they think a android phone have to look like with this phones, so I think the sd-card-slot will die out slowly.

So I bought a developer edition with 32GB of storage. That is enough for me, I've used the RAZR I with the internal 8GB plus a 16GB SD card and even that was okay.

On the other hand we have to look at the battery consumption. A device which have to handle a internal and a external storage needs more energy. Also are SD cards mostly slower than the build in storage, which means that we lose performance.

Motorola Moto X DE XT1053
[RAZR i General] bongofred:
In my opinion the SD card slot is only needed, if the phone has insufficient internal memory. 16 GB is just not enough for today's needs. At least for me it is not. 32 and plus of storage is a must have. That's why I didn't get a new nexus device or will not get the Moto G.

[RAZR i General] iolinux333:
I agree on the storage issue. My iPhone 5s has 64GB and only has about 20 gigs left. It will probably be quite full in a year or two. Why phones aren't offered with 128 or heck even 512 gigs is beyond me. They are the main computers in many of our lives now. They can charge pretty much anything they want for it and a lot of us will pay.

Moto G

I'm thinking about to sell my Razr i for 200€ and buy the Moto G for 169€ or even the one for 199€. My Razr i looks like freshly taken from the box, not one scratch, nothing. And there is a 64GB memory card with it. If I install the stock ROM then there is only the warning about the unlocked bootloader that reminds you that it is a used device.

I bought the 64GB card to listen to music, back when I was going to school but now it's a different situation and I don't have the time to listen to music on my smartphone, especially since I have a car now. And even if I wanna listen to music on my phone I think 16GB or even 8GB would be enough.

Unfortunately, I must agree. Apple is doing so many things better with iOS than Google with Android. I always liked Android for openness, community, tweaking abilities ... currently I even write soft for Android at work ... but still, I'm always waiting for new version of Android that will fix problems from current version, I'm looking for custom ROMS that will eliminate constant lag and solve other problems.

I liked Google because it was the best software company in the world, company that ideology I liked, but now ... it's changing. They've still got good software but ads are getting more aggressive than ever, Android is getting more and more closed, and it will be fully closed in future, so maybe it's time to start searching for something new. But anyway I think that Android will be the most popular OS for very, very long time.
[RAZR i General] cupioscire:
Yeah, I have to say, that you have right with much things you've said, but you couldn't forget that iOS is build by apple, so they can perfectly fit the software to the hardware and vice versa. Android is open source and Google couldn't specify it for one device, it have to be as much stable as possible for a lot of devices, that is the problem. That's the same with every open source os.

Motorola Moto X DE XT1053
[RAZR i General] centavar:
Well, I just made the switch from Razr I to the Moto G, just because I was offered a good price for my Razr (pristine condition) and couldn't resist.

Wasn't expecting much really, but it actually feels like a good upgrade. The screen is TONS better and with Kitkat the menu buttons now are completely hidden in most apps, making the screen really 4.5 inches. The overall feel is faster, especially with apps like Maps and Chrome. Games run faster as well, for example Asphalt 8 plays perfect on high settings, while on the Razr I will run only on low.

The downsides are plastic instead of the metal and kevlar on the Razr, the screen is not edge to edge and the camera is worse (also no 1080p video).

But for me the bigger and better display and the faster performance are worth it.

I found some benchmark comparisons between Razr i and Razr m here.

Quite interesting.
[RAZR i General] MTurn:
Moto X vs Razr I

Looking at the Moto X but not sure if it's a big enough upgrade compared to the Razr I.

Moto X:

+ Better GPU

+ Android 4.4

+ 720p screen

+ More apps available

Razr I:

+ Build quality

+ Super AMOLED

+ Picture quality (Even with update Moto X pictures don't look that good)

+ Dedicated picture button

+ Fast app start up

Motorola and Intel did very good job in optimizing the performance of the Razr I.

For the Moto X I will probable never use the touch-less controls.

And the wrist twist for picture app is not as practical as a dedicated picture button.

Moto Maker is nice but US only.

Thought maybe buy the last Motorola phone before it dies under Lenovo.

But maybe it was already dying when Google took over the company.

Before the Razr I I had the v3xx, defy, defy+.

To bad it has to end and eventually have to choose between mobiles which don't feel very unique or special to me.

And for the once considering the Moto G. The LCD screen is already a very big downgrade.
[RAZR i General] osstis:
After 3 days of using Moto G I'm back to RAZR I, I've really missed compact size and study body of my RAZR.

Battery similar, kitkat speed similar. I Don't bother about CPU and GPU, Plus better camera and micro sd slot. XT890 win for me :good:
