SOLVED

OK, so I tested two 4.4 ROMs during the weekend. First ROM "A", then ROM "B". I made nandroid backups of each ROM. I disliked "B", so I decided to restore from backup with ROM "A". After reboot - boot loop.

What I already tried:

- restoring both backups with/without wipe

- clean flashing both ROMs from /sdcard with/without wipe

- flashing factory image using flash-all script (no errors)

- flashing factory image manually with fastboot (with erasing partitions first; also no errors)

- flashing with Odin (based on guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2065470 ; also no errors)

- using Omap (based on guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2146790 (*))

Status:

- fastboot, recovery, bootloader, download mode (Odin mode) – all works

- adb in recovery doesn't work (permissions problem) - so I can't copy any backups or ROM zips to /sdcard (is this caused by turned off adb debugging in factory image?)

- still boot loop

Does anyone have any ideas?

(*) I had to install drivers differently than in the guide, but the drivers and scripts seemed to work (as far as I can tell). However I got kind of different output than author of the guide. But later I learned that using Omap is really for when you have messed up bootloader or download mode so maybe that's not all that important?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psow86:
I got it to work! :)

It turned out that permissions problem with adb in recovery was on the computer side, not the phone side (Linux -> restart adb daemon under root and typing adb commands from root). After that:

- "adb push" of my stock nandroid backup

- restore from recovery

- since my backup had different TWRP version I rebooted to bootloader and go to recovery again (don't know if it's necessary)

- wiped cache and dalvik-cache

- reboot to system

Maybe it helps someone.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] resudo:
Hello everyone. I got my Note 2 back on Saturday and I'm enjoying it A LOT so far :D

I have just one big problem.

I would like a MOD which would make my external sd card my primary storage so that all the apps data and apps are being stored there. This is really important to me as the internal sd card has like 10gb of usable storage and with some heavy apps like GTA:SA and Fifa 14 it goes full!! Now if this isnt possible is there any MOD to merge the storage of my internal sd card with my external one? I'm using a 16gb sony external sd card and it would be great if I could get that storage moved on my internal sd card.

Just in case this is important

*I'm rocking DN3 ROM with MJ5 BL N7100 Inter. version.

Thanks a lot in advance, any help is appreciated.

One more thing. Do you know which is the best kernel for heavy games and compatible with DN3? Again THANKS!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] macfable:
Hey guys, I went to root my Note 3 this morning and have run into some trouble. I used Odin to push TWRP, and TWRP to install my SU.zip. upon rebooting from TWRP the phone was acting a little strange, I downloaded Root checker but it was never able to verify root priveledges, it said the system was running slow. So I rebooted the phone. On boot up it now goes into Kernel Panic Upload mode with the following:

Kernel Panic!

KRAIT INFO

PC is at adreno_init+0x130/0x2d4

LRis at adreno_init+0x130/0x2d4

Panic caller : die+0x1d8/0x240

Panic Msg : Fatal exception

Thread : SurfaceFlinger:458

Speed_bin : 0x1

Wait...

Done!

Thankfully I can still get into recovery mode, however whether flashing a new rom or restoring my back up, I still am not able to boot because of the Panic Mode. I've tride installing 2 different ROMS and got this message last I tried:

Creating Symlink...

set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed

E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/external_sd/Liquid-Kitkat-v3.0-NIGHTLY-hltetmo.zip'

Error flashing zip 'external_sd/

Failed

I'm at work right now so I don't have access to Odin at the moment but was thinking I would try to push a stock back when I have a chance. Do you guys have any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] macfable:
Well not that it matters that much but thought i'd post that going back to stock via odin worked in case any one else runs into this issue.
[LG Nitro HD] Truepeace:
Guys can you help me out,

I was trying to edit SystemUI.apk with this tuto http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2527867 Then I needed to put it on my phone following this tuto http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2235956

Now my phone keeps putting "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped." I tried rebooting, same thing. What did I do wrong? Maybe in the signing? The video tutorial used "zipalign -fv 4 ...." command while I read on other tutorials you should copy the original manifest and I don't know which files but in the video he didn't do it...

Please help, the error message keeps coming in the way and I can't to anything.

LG Nitro HD, CM 10.1.3 Wind kernel.

EDIT: I managed to have access to CWM by fast clicking before the error appears so I could reboot into recovery, does this help?

EDIT 2: The video told us to replace old meta-inf and android manifest in the new apk but he didn't show it so I didn't do it, was that the problem? :(
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
Reinstall, your Rom. Next time make a backup 1st.
[LG Nitro HD] Truepeace:
I re edited systemui.apk with signing this time then I put it in a flashable zip file the author of the status bar modding gave me and then I sideloaded it in CWM and flashed it. Now I can use my phone but my status bar has disappeared.

What do you advise me to do? To reflash the original SystemUI.apk of my rom? I will try all this tomorrow.

Edit: I forgot to say that I had disabled SystemUI because if I enable it the error will come again.

So I tried to I tried reputting my original SystemUI.apk and flashing it but I still didn't have the toolbar and the crashes. So I think I am gonna reinstall my ROM like you said.
[LG Nitro HD] Truepeace:
Solved

Finally I made it :D

I factory reset the phone and wiped cache but the root was gone so I re rooted it and reflashed my custom rom and gaaps and kernel,

Then I followed this tuto http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2203166 that was much simpler and easier than the video one I saw previously for editing systemUI.apk and how to compile/recompile.

I pushed it through via file manager after I set the correct permissions and rebooted my phone. Now the status bar has my text in it :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tx002328:
The screen/digitizer were smashed on my GS4; I can not see the screen or use it to contol the phone. There were no changed to the stock software that came with th GS4 from Sprint (no ROMs, kernals, custom software). There were no backups, backup software, or anything I need stored on the SD card. I was delivered a replacement GS4 through the insurance.

I was hoping to use the new phone to guide the old phone (with only hardware keys and no screen) through a complete backup to the SD card and then swap it to the new phone for recovery. However, there doesnt appear to be a "backup" or "restore" option in the GS4 recovery mode.

Without the ability to activate USB/developer permissions on my smashed phone, a Sprint store or computer backup/recovery is impossible. My previous Android (Epic 4g) could be completely backed up to SD card and restored from SD card using "recovery mode".

Am I making this more complicated than it is? Do I have any options? Can I use recovery mode for its namesake?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Critical Detox:
Are you trying to just get something off your sd card?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_pirate_predator:
Answer

I think you need to use a custom recovery to get a backup of your phone.

There are many custom recoveries like ClockWorkMod, TWRP, Philz Touch Recovery and many more.

Download a custom recovery for your phone and flash it through android recovery.

There you will find the option to backup and restore your phone's data.

Make sure you mount everything possible before you take a backup and also ensure that there is a sufficient space to store backup on sd card.

If you need more help, send me a PM.

Press thanks if I have helped you.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OverDub:
Hey guys, I got my note II GT-N7100 2 days ago, and I rooted it today, I also installed a custom ROM (Cyanogenmod) and it is pretty cool, but I lost the Spen note app and the multiscreen option (the one where you hold the back button and have 2 apps running with each as half screen)

Is there a way to get back those 2 options because they are 2 major things in the note 2.

Well you shouldn't have installed CM ROM but TW ROM instead. The functions you mention work only on TouchWiz ROMs.

okay so i just recently unlocked my phones sim , from fido

i bought a code online from cellunlocker.net

it shows that i dont have a sim lock, yet in my service menu it still shows "bootloader unlock allowed : no"

isnt it supposed to say bootloader unlock allowed : yes now? or is it supposed to be like this?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
Bootloader and sim unlock are different things just by unlocking one of them, doesn't mean the other will be unlocked.

By unlocking sim it just means you can use another carriers sim.

Bootloader is kernel related, unlocking will allow the use of custom kernels which means custom ROMs.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robin>Hood:
Bootloader is bootloader related. By unlocking the bootloader you can indeed install custom kernels.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sahaab:
Guyz I thank you for replying

But I do know this already

I am not asking y the bootloader is not unlocked

I am asking shud my service menu still say that my bootloader is not unlockable? From what I know, unlocking the sim shud make the bootloader unlockABLE (not unlocked)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robin>Hood:
Like zolaisugly says, there is no connection between sim lock and bootlocker. A sim lock is a sim lock and the bootlocker is a bootlocker.

I also think if you read this thread this question has already been asked and answered. So, it is normal that your phone still says "Bootlocker unlcok allowed: no". It is impossoble to unlock your bootlocker (for now).

I just made a small application for my K-Jam (my first Mobile app.). After building the CAB file, I installed it on my device (and I am able to run it, clicking on the file itself). The problem is that I am unable to find it when browsing through installed programs ('Startmenu > Programs'). But looking under 'Settings > System > Remove Programs' however, I do find it there.

What can I do to make my apps. appear under programs (and how and where do I add the Icons of my choice).

All answers will be apppreciated.

(When posting this I'll take the risk that this is not asked and answered several times before. Bare with me, but I tried to search)

Anwin
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
Making an app appear under programs is simple but no automatic. Just like on a PC you need to create a shortcut in \windows\Start Menu\Programs.

Here's how to do it in a cab:

[DefaultInstall]
CEShortcuts = Shortcuts.All

[Shortcuts.All]
ShortCutName, 0, YorApp.exe, %CE11%

0 is the number of the icon from the exe to use, %CE11% is the directory string (\windows\Start Menu\Programs) where to create the icon.

Thats all 8)

Yep. Thats it !

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Xerxes-3.0:
Hi everybody,

when trying to install a custom ROM (PAC Nightly) on the TF201 to upgrade it from the stock 4.1.1, I first rooted and unlocked it and installed TWRP 2.6 and did a full backup.

Then I wiped Dalvik, System and Cache.

However, PAC did not get past its boot animation and when I tried to restore the backup from before, the tablet is stuck at the ASUS-Boot Logo (with "Device is unlocked" notification).

I am not sure what to do now. as the title says, TWRP still works and it does show up in fastboot.

Thanks in advance. :)

/e: I do have the impression that it was a lot easier on my Nexus S. :-/ The question is: is something broken and I have to try the unbrick solution or can i fix it by creatively wiping everything and just install some other ROM?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Xerxes-3.0:
Well, another try and it worked. Strange. Phew. :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Xerxes-3.0:
Oh, brilliant. Now I have some questions about the ROM itself but may not post it inits thread. :|

If someone accientally reads this: I have no sounds (ring, notification etc), however they are displayed in the list.

Sound itself works, tested in the YT-app. Keybord clicks also.

Is this a matter of the PAC ROM or...well, where are they stored anyway? I suppose the files are floarting around the internet somewhere.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rukbat:
If that were the case, I'd have very few apps on my phone. I always delete the apk file (as soon as I back it up to my normal backup locations, which are on devices other than the phone).

An apk is actually a zip file with a different extension. (Rename it .zip and open it in Winzip - you'll see.) It's an installer. Once the app has been installed you no longer need the installer.

If you've deleted apk files and had your apps disappear, you're doing something in addition to removing the apk files. (I normally put apk files on the root of my external SD card, so I don't need a rooted program to delete them.)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrAzzy:
I've added/deleted/modified files in /system/app with just root file explorer, back before safestrap existed for the N3 - you do not need safestrap to fiddle with /system/app - you can do it with root file explorer (remember to set the permissions correctly - 644 iirc).
