[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sugemchuge:
I was installing the new RR KitKat via clockworkmod but got an error stating "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed". I goggled it and many people were saying I need to get a newer version of CWM. Since I usually install things by booting CWM I thought there couldn't be too much harm in installing this new CWM via my old CWM. Boy was I wrong. Everything in my internal storage was deleted. Literally said 11.78GB of 11.78GB free. My heart skipped a beat. Videos? Gone. Music? Gone. Pictures? Gone (still hurts). Even my nandroid backups and titanium backups were erased. Surprisingly, despite this, my phone and apps work perfectly well.

Thank God I made it a point to use onenote and google task to write down my notes or else I'd be crying behind a glass wall of emotion right now.

Is there anything I can do to get my stuff back?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dakura:
You can use usb mode of your phone and connect to your computer as a usb drive, then you can use a software like recuva and scan for deleted things. Recuva is free as far as i know, you can use any software that rescues deleted files.

but now i have a new weird problem, everytime i try to unlock the phone ,, sometime it hangs ./ freeze,, and when i tap the power button or home button several times, it reboot itself. now im completely frustrated with my s4,, anyone have any tips to fix this lockscreen freezing? i already try to factory reset it and reinstall the firmware. anyone please help :crying:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

I believe after they changed your "mainboard" (which I'll understand is the motherboard) something went wrong, as you said you tried to factory reset and reinstall stock firmware and the problem still persists, I will recommend you taking it again to the Repair Center, try asking for another S4, I think it'll solve all your problems ;), when my Kindle had a battery I got a new one for free from Amazon, I guess you can try getting one S4 too from Samsung.

Hi all,

I'm trying to update a Dopod 900 with the i-Mate ROM which has the filename:

JASJAR_WWE_13076_164_10900_wwe_ship.exe

I'm trying to follow the instructions laid out on how to upgrade without using the NoID tool...but I got some questions here and was hoping you guys could help me out on this :oops:

1) The exe file above contains a set of exe files which are totally diffrent from the one in the Dopod ROM upgrade file from dopodasia.com. Just wondering which set of executables should I use, the one that comes with the jasjar ROM, or the one that comes with the dopodasia.com upgrade file?

2) Can I replace the jasjar extended ROM with the extended ROM from the dopodasia.com upgrade file? Based on what I read here, the extended ROM file seems to contain some carrier specific information or customizations.

Thanks for your time everyone..:) Hope to hear from you all soon..:D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Rockafello:
for upgrading i use this files:

EnterBL.exe

GetDeviceData.exe

ROMUpgradeUt.exe

RUU.conf

RUU.dll

UI.dll

further u need:

ms_.nbf

nk.nbf

radio_.nbf

U can use another extended rom or radio rom (109). but don't know why you would use another operator extended Rom. make your own extended rom with things you need. or don't install the extended rom (softreset after first start after rom update and wizard)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] namura:
Thanks Rockafello..:) Just kinda confused coz the Dopod ROM distribution files comes with a total diffrent set of those files compared to say the one from I-Mate.. :roll:

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TaylorDahmer:
As the title says.. Would that be possible? Because there isnt much roms made for the duos and those roms for SGY looks really good but i dont want to brick my phone.. So i just wanted to.confirm just to be safe..I dont mind if i cant use dual sims.. I only use one anyway. :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] aniket.lamba:
Nopae.You have to mod the roms according to your phone's compatibility.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheFixItMan:
As written in post above you must port the rom

for example - if you were to flash a systemui.apk for galaxy y gt-5360 in duos everything would work (excluding dual sim in status bar) except it would force close if you tried to connect your phone to your pc because the usb smali files are slightly different

easy just to copy over usb smali files from duos ui to the 5360 ui but its just stuff like that

you can flash it and it will probably boot (if not just flash your nandroid backup or flash stock rom via odin) - just make sure there is no boot.img in the zip or delete that file - and then you will have to go through the rom and find all the force closes and things not working due to smali differences or different lib files and so on

you may also have to make build.prop changes and changes to updater script
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bwoodfield:
I updated my K1 with the [ROM][JB 4.2.2][CM10.1] for Lenovo Ideapad K1 3G+Wifi from [ROM][JB 4.1.2 JZO54K] CM10 for Ideapad K1 v6.1 3G+Wifi. Everything went well, I have the listed gapps also flashed in. No software issues at all, I finally have the rotation lock working again after 2 years of not having it. My issue is that after flashing in the new rom (file named: cm-10.1.3-RELEASE-k1-wifi) the USB connection from the tablet to the computer is no longer recognized.

-went into 'USB Computer Connection' under the Storage settings and ensured the "Media Device(MTP)" was checked off

-went into developer settings and ensured that the USB Debug settings was unchecked

-rebooted both tablet and computer

-unplugged and replugged in the USB cable multiple times.

Re-installed the kaschemme cm-10.1.3-RELEASE-k1-wifi, ensureing I did a complete wipe, cleared cache and DALVIK cache then installed ROM and GAPPS. Rebooted and went though set-up again. Plugged in the USB.. nothing. Checked USB Computer connection and it's set to media device.

The USB was working, that's how I got the ROMs onto the tablet in the first place. Does anyone know of a way to get the USB support working again??

Thx
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bwoodfield:
Update:

I flashed in the kaschemme's cm-10.1-20130707-EXPERIMENTAL-k1-wifi_v1 and I now have the USB support working again. I'm going to test the build out and see if there is any issues.

Another Update:

I updated my K1 with kaschemme's cm-10.1.3-RELEASE-k1-wifi version of 4.2.2 to see if the the previous flash corrected the USB, and I've lost USB support again. I don't know if it's my tablet specifically, but it looks like there is something wrong in that particular ROM.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jco23:
Hi all,

I just got a Motorola Razr Maxx HD (XT912) off Craigslist ($50). The specs are below:

system version: 98.72.16

OS: 4.1.2

Kernel: Feb 1, 2013

Build: 9.8.20-72

Build Date: Feb 1, 2013

I received a notice that there is a software update to 98.72.165

Reading briefly within the forums, looks like there is a newer version (9.30.1)?

I would like to root, install TWRP, and maybe add a custom ROM.

I see that there is a root method now available for the latest version, but should I root now (and what is the most successful method), or install the OTAs, and then root?

I do not intend on using this as phone, just as a wifi device for my son (finally retiring the Charge).

thanks!

Hi, well this is weird, I bought this second hand Xperia Z from swappa, seller said it was a C6603 (LTE version), when the phone arrived I noticed that on the bottom of the phone it said it was a C6602! which is weird, so I checked the IMEI number online and it says it is a C6603!

So how can I know for sure which model is my phone??

I do not have a 4G contract so I can't test if LTE does work.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ichinose:
Simple: go in the settings menu.Now scrolling to the bottom at INFO [sorry, in my case is INFO SUL TELEFONO] and under the name NUMBER MODEL you can find your real model
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronald_sugar7:
Thanks! but that's not a solution

That changes when you flash a ROM C6602 supports all C6603 ROMS and FTF, you can even change it to whatever you want through the build.prop file, thanks but that's not a secure way of telling the REAL model of my phone

(see screenshot to get what I mean)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ichinose:
d'oh :eek:

mmmmm the only thing that you can't mod is the name at the bottom of the smartphone, because you can change the IMEI

But, whit this dial *#*#7378423#*#* > 'Service info' > 'Software info' > 'Customization Version and these tables http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2287283 you can check if the firmware is for a c6603 or a c6602
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronald_sugar7:
As far as I know there is no way of changing the imei... or is there?? O_O? and btw the customization version CAN be modified if you flash a fw from another region, and also I think it can be moded :/
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
The IMEI cannot be changed. It's stored in the TA partition and editing it would hard brick the phone.

Personally, I would go by what is printed on the bottom of the phone. It's unlikely that has been altered.

I would also go for what stands in the bottom.. But test wether the speeds of LTE is present.. The upload should be much higher

BTW, I never believe people when they say that here, because in my experience 99.99999999% of them haven't. They're just looking for an easy fix, and there isn't one in this situation.

Now then...Given the alternative involves you either paying a Samsung service centre a not inconsiderable amount of money to put a new motherboard in, or a lot of mucking around on your part to source a 2nd hand board & then either replace it yourself or pay a local mobile repair shop to do it, or getting a new phone, if I were in your situation, I'd be trying everything in that thread, and I'd be trying it over and over and over.

i see epic4g? It might be specific for that device. Try some other odin versions whih are compatible and try it again and dont forget to shut kies off. It causes always problems. As i see its only a soft brick not a hard brick cause its not a nand write error so actually no problem with hardware only need maybe to use the right programs. Never flash.pit file only if it might be your last chance always read if its a nand write error then the most time youre screwed if not then its all fixeable.
