When uograding to bigstorage for the first time the process can look daunting but fear not, even if, as mine did, it doesnt go as per the screen shots / directions it may still work. Mine did and with the following installed here is what i have ended up with.

SPV M500 / Magician with bigstorage

running are

intellidialier, voice id (extra from extended rom)

Installed are : --

Tomtom 5, Calligrapher, pocket breeze, pocket contact, avantgo, pocket music, and several other small aps not worth mentioning.

I the process went ok using my 1gb card until: ---

As the how-to says the rom size created relfects the size of your card so the rom i was working with was 1gb, I could not use the recommended hex editor with that file due to system resources, let me tell you when you are that far into the process and you cant open the rom it is very annoying. Thankfully there are several other hex editors out there that let you load files up to 4gb allowing for resources but unfortuntely neither my old xp laptop nor my media centre could still open it. I ended up using my powerbook G4 with HexEdit 1.1 which loaded the rom just fine for editing. All the rest went OK until the end of the flsh back to the phone where i got a failed message, after a soft reset it booted into the new rom with no problem.

I have to stress to you guys thinking about trying this, it IS worth it. I am so pleased with the results. After updating and setting up BT Activesync, mms, pop3 etc and with all aps running I have the following: -

Allocated 17.7MB Allocated: 29.70 MB

to use: 11.16MB to use : 14.75MB

Free: 6.55MB Free: 24.95MB

And that is in a running state with no restrictions.

Well done to the community for such good documentation and their desire to share information and allow us newbies to get the most out of these wonderful units.

Hello,

I hope I dont sound like an idiot, but what is a big storage rom?

I have heard it mentioned quite a few times in the forum. I have a Krome Spy ( analog of M500) from australia.

Thanks.

Nice to know that you were successful in upgrading to BigStorage. I've done it since the very beginning. My next step would be "nonentity's" File System Tweak.

@rohsek: please search this forum and you will find the answers you need.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] oltp:
With BIG Storage you convert your EXT-rom with operator brandings into extra internal Storage. You actually append about 20MB to the default 7MB Storage folder. Very nice hack.

Aren't there any standard ROMs?? It seems to me that when someone creates a specific ROM for a specific model, this ROM can be used in multiple devices or am I making you :lol: ROFLYAO :lol: by asking this question??

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Android300ZX:
Wore some sweatpants with small pockets, got into car and crunch. Closed the door on my S4. The LCD broke and there are internal cracks (2) under or on the glass. The phone still rings but the LCD is completely dead. I can answer calls via my BT headset and car BT. I've been getting a lot of text messages and remember having an app that sent my SMS messages to my tablet (xoom when I had it eons ago).

I can install the app via a browser on my phone but I don't know if an app exists where I don't have to set it up. My phone is ROOTED so I don't know if there's a way I can hook it to a laptop and do screen mirroring to set it up. A new phone is on it's way from insurance. This sucks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Android300ZX:
Update:

I went ahead and ordered a replacement and insurance sent me a brand new S4. I set it all up and downloaded the app SyncSMS on my phone and Nexus 7 (2013). It requires initial set up on both devices but it should protect me in the future.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] himanshutihalht:
I have Samsung galaxy Y handset. I just rooted it for trying new ROM. I installed the zip file of klerks and also the custom ROMs cyanocream v3 and paranoid. I switched the phone to recovery mode and clicked 'apply the custom rom' option. And since it wasn't showing the wiping and the other formatting option, I clicked 'reboot' option. And from then the phone isn't running, I see only the Samsung logo it shows on switching. I tried everything, the recovery mode is also not running, took the battery out but still same problem. Can you please crack this problem? I need my phone!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DBThanatos:
I dont own this device so Im not sure what's the process (although im familiar with the whole galaxy family), but I do wonder, did you install custom recovery (like CWM)? Did you make a backup before applying the ROM?

Can you still access the recovery mode? Whenever i mess up an installation, i usually search for an stock rom and flash it via the external SD card.

Perhaps this might come helpful

Still Cant!!!

i am still not able to run the custom rom.

I rooted my phone.

Opened up the CWM v5, and wiped-data,cache partition, format data, format cache, mounted all drives,---

went into advance to wipe dalvik cache and the other data.

Installed the custom rom by opening the zip file through install zip from sd.

I installed the custom rom (tried all, jellybean, cyanocream v3, paranoid, icecream).....

BUT EACH TIME EITHER IT STOPED WITH Samsung Galaxy Y logo screen OR at logo of cyanocream (when installing cyanocream).

SO I HAD TO FLASH MY PHONE EACH TIME WITH STOCK ROAM THROUGH ODIN. Then it works on its standard android.

I tried many times. Checked all steps. Checked all videoes.

I CANT MAKE OUT WHERE AM I MAKING MISTAKE EXACTLY ?????? Can any one please tell me the most accurate and effective correct method to do this successfully?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zackhron:
I don't own this phone too but my mother has :P. Did you flash the kernel for custom rom such as 'white xp kernel' for cynocream before flashing the rom? You can download it from the same post you download the rom and you can backup your stock rom in cwm so if anything happen you can boot to cwm and restore it back.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adisawant:
search for flashing firmware via odin for your device...

search it and you will get the answer
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hnkotnis:
Try this if you are using CM based roms.

Go to CWM. Wipe data, wipe cache, go to mounts and storage mount all (except SD card) install kernel zip(not ROM zip, use kernel zip) go to advanced NEVER WIPE DALVIK CACHE AND BATTERY STATS WHEN INSTALLING ROM, reboot recocery, you will get mounting error. Ignore it. format all (except SD card). Install rom zip reboot. I have used this many times and no fail yet.

I own this device and if you have any problem feel free to ask.

If you want instructions for any ROM, reply here with Rom's link.

Using CWM........Busybox Commands........No I use my hands :D
[LG Optimus G (International)] fra6220:
Hi , I did 3 wipes installing last Cyanogenmod snapshot M2 . For a clean installation after 3 wipes I also formatted system. But flashing the zip has come this error : (Status 7) Installation aborted.

The point is that I can't reboot because it Always reboot on the recovery and I can't use KDZ because I can't turn it off so what can I do? Should I wait until phone uncharge and then use KDZ ? Or there are Others solutions with some other programs?

Thank you
[LG Optimus G (International)] akiscoolio:
You don't have to turn it off completely if you want to put the device in download mode for flashing kdz but anyway if you are using cwm go in advance menu and press power off i am pretty sure there must be something similar in twrp menu either
[LG Optimus G (International)] radzix:
Same problem here, i cant flash latest upadates, cuz that problem is showing. Is there any option to send other room via CWM? Im pretty shure that other rom will be ok, but i dont have any other .zip in my phone. I can go in download mode, fastboot, and cwm, but nothing more.
[LG Optimus G (International)] markus_enzi:
Status 7 errors are mostly with CWM, try to flash TWRP recovery.

You will find flashables zip file here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2443041

In CWM recovery you must use sideload ("Install zip from sideload") to get the new zip file. You can use sideload also for a new ROM.
[LG Optimus G (International)] radzix:
Could you tell me how to use this option? When i type adb sideload in cmd , it tells me that my device is unconected :/

And when i try to upload stock KDZ file ive got something like this in download mode
[LG Optimus G (International)] markus_enzi:
To use sideload (all drivers for the phone must be installed on computer):

1.) in CWM recovery select "install zip from sideload"

2.) on pc put adb and zip file in same directory

3.) open console (with administrator privileges) and write "adb sideload NameOfRom.zip" (or any other zip file you want to flash)

4.) reboot

but it says: backup wifi passwords, settings!!

maybe it will restore this stuff after u do a factory reset, to help u save time and efforts to do all of that after the reset?!

and if that is correct, if u choosed not to automatically restore, it will give u an option to restore only what u want?!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaythenut:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
When you backup your data via backup option, it saves WiFi passes, Google account info etc.

When you re-set up your phone from another ROM or after a reset, you enter your existing Google account data and you have an option to restore all the apps you had previously from the Play store and it auto downloads them for you. - it saves certain phone settings to.

Hello xda members,

I ran into a problem the other day. My nandroid is no longer with me due to a defective hard drive :(. I now decided I want to return to stock to sell the phone.

I'm on hboot 1.27 and iam s off.

I want to flash an ruu, the phone is the Europe/international version. These forums are so big that I do not know where to start looking for ruu's, neither do I know what type I need since I have numberous phones and always kept a nandroid ..

Is there anyone that can either push me I'm the right direction or even give me a link to an htc ruu website?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] Stefan0vic:
I've come this far:

My cid is VODAPE17

and my version main is 3.32.401.5

Since your phone is s-off you can write supercid to it and choose any RUU, but stick with the latest WWE ones.

EDIT:

After supercid I suggest this one:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] sarman_1998:
I've spent a lot of time in the last week trying to see if my Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900T is actually capable of USB 3.0 in host mode. From my investigations to date, it isn't supported. Here is a brief summary of what I tried:

3 different USB 3.0 OTG Cables

[*]Custom built kernel to enable logging of xHCI driver​

[*]Modified xHCI driver source to cause an extra reset on the USB 3 port when USB 2 port shows a connect

Never saw a change of the USB 3 port status register in the xHCI controller​

[*]Modified xHCI driver source to disable USB 2 port when a connection happens then reset USB 3 port

Never saw a change of the USB 3 port status register in the xHCI controller​

[*]Connected phone through USB 3 protocol analyzer to see if it was making any attempt to negotiate a USB 3 link.

No sign phone was trying USB 3 link negotiation.​

[*]Used modified windows xhci driver to attempt to read the OTG Descriptor defined in the latest USB OTG Spec

Phone returned Stall, meaning it doesn't support that descriptor​

It's still possible that the phone will support USB 3 OTG. It may be that there is some signalling to switch the USB 3 port from device to host mode that isn't currently in the code. I did do some looking for this but haven't found anything yet.

I'll update this thread if I get any new, hopefully encouraging, information.

[Moto X Q&A] CZ Eddie:
Guys,

From what I understand, the Moto-X has an "always on" Google Now option. This means you can pick up the phone and say an audible command that it will respond to without you needing to press any buttons?

Okay, if so that's great. Now here is the important question.

Does it also work this way when you're connected using a Bluetooth headset with mic and listening to music?

So if you put on your Bluetooth headset/mic and start listening to some MP3's streaming from the phone... can you speak out loud and interrupt the music and give a command to Google Now? Without pressing ANY buttons???

Thanks for any responses!
[Moto X Q&A] RenSoAbrupt:
Yes, it activates regardless of what you are doing at that exact moment once given the command. It's a pretty damn nice feature.

Have yet to expand using it by the Tasker, Auto Voice.

First check MD5 of your Rom file with this: [How To] Check MD5 sums

if they don't match to each other, so you have to download it again, and then put it on your SD Card... And then Do a full wipe and flash it again... it most solve your problem

You can access to download mode too... just turn off your phone, and press Vol Down + Home + Power key together and flash your Official rom with Odin...

Hi all

through a series of stupid actions, I am now in a position where I have TWRP, no working image and S-on. This all stemmed from an attempt to upgrade to CM10.2. Anyway, a lot of reading has led me to the conclusion that I need to go back to a standard RUU in order to set S-off. The problem is my fastboot is 2.15 and I cannot seem to find an RUU anywhere.

The fastboot screen details are as follows:

*** TAMPERED ***

*** RELOCKED ***

*** Security Warning ***

VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-2.15.0000

RADIO-1.15.50.05.29

OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0015

cMMC boot

Dec 14 2012.17:10:57:-1

If anyone can point me in the right direction for a RUU or a possible way to get S-off through fastboot, I would be eternally grateful. I have already spent around 15 hours trying to sort this out. Needless to say, I have learnt some lessons about reading instructions and making backups.

Regards

Richard
[HTC One S] Deleted member 4736186:
Did you flash boot.img in fastboot? If you didn't, you should try it first before you attempt to do S-OFF. To get S-OFF, I would use Rumrunner.
[HTC One S] ka_55:
I don't know why you want to s-off but i think you don't have to. If you have twrp you can mount your sd via twrp to a computer, copy any rom you want to the sd, flash boot.img with fastboot from the rom zip and flash rom via twrp. But you should first unlock your bootloader
[HTC One S] willi1972:
Thanks both for the replies. I have transferring a boot.img using fastboot, but this just gets me into a never ending boot screen. The boot.img I tried were cm 10.1.2 and then a 10.1.3. I had read that this will not work with S-on, but I am far from an expert. I have tried rumrunner, but this needs adb to work, and from what I gather adb only works when the phone itself is also booted into an OS.

I had tried to get adb working, but I never get any response from adb devices as the phone never gets past the bootloader.

I realise that I don't need S-off to flash a stock ROM, but my problem is that can't find a stock ROM for a 2,15 Hboot. My goal is to install CM 10.2.

Regards

Richard
