[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] server3249:
The google play edition will get updates in days rather than months.

Also, it will get official updates further into the future than the normal Moto G. Normal Moto G might not get anything further than 4.4.x.

It will also have none of the Motorola junk, hence it will not slow down over time.

I really wish Motorola launches this in India also. Since Google play store is already selling devices in India, they just need to add one more.

Will we be able to flash gpe Rom to normal Moto G?

Is that possible with other gpe phones?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ixon2001:
It should be straight forward to flash the GE rom to our Moto G's as the hardware same & the software is near enough stock Android as it is, & we won't be loosing much compared to the GE additions of the HTC One & Samsung Galaxy S4, but gaining an advantage of quicker updates when available :).

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P-Froggy:
Hello,

I've got a Problem with the charging Screen when the phone is turned off:

The first time I installed KitKat Version of Android on my phone, there was an error and I had a corrupted System and recovery. So I installed the new bootloader and TWRP Recovery again and restored my backed up Rom.

Everything worked again, except the charging Screen that appears when you plug your phone in, while it is turned off (battery with black Background). It only Shows the loading circle and freezes then. If I hold the power button it doesn't turn on, but restarts the charging mode and freezes again.

Is there any way to restore a functional charging mode Screen?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erljayp:
I had this problem when I installed an AOSP Rom. Does your backup include the system partition?

If not, reinstall stock Rom or any TouchWizz Rom. :)

Hello!

The title says it all! Is it possible to make a Nandroid backup directly to PC connected via USB? If yes, how?

Thanks!

ADB pull can do almost anything. Step one of this OP http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2128848 will show you how to backup everything.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] amagalma:
Thank you for your answer! :)

The code in step 1 is:

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0 of=/sdcard/boot0block.img"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/stock-boot.img"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/stock-recovery.img"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system of=/sdcard/stock-system.img" # This will take a few minutes
adb pull /sdcard/boot0block.img
adb pull /sdcard/stock-boot.img
adb pull /sdcard/stock-recovery.img
adb pull /sdcard/stock-system.img # This will take a few minutes

What should I change in order to specify the exact path where to backup in my PC? And another question: will this create images that are exact copies in size? Which is to say, will I need 16GB of free space in my PC's hard drive? (I have the Nexus 2 16GB Wi-Fi)

Thanks! :)

Yes

What ever memory is in use is what you will need space wise for your nandroid. Look at the storage available and minus it from 16GB. That's the space you will need.

Find the name of the image to pull it. It may be labeled just plain recover.img, boot.img and (usually is.) What ever they are, just plug that info into the code. It all works the same you just have to tell (command) the computer what to pull. Sorry about the KFHD reference. I was on my tablet and that's where most of my help is focused at.

Just bought this car kit http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=109748 for my Qtek 2020i (Alpine)

Pretty comprehensive kit for the money. 8) Comes with control box, speaker, mic, loom for connecting to car stereo system.

I was wondering if there was any way to put the audio of TOMTOM or media player through the car kit ?

I have read about the 10K resistor mod which i tried with another active holder i have but that didn't seem to work :roll:

I thought there may be a utility that could fool the PDA into thinking it is in a call and sending the audio through the car kit, but when in a call all other audio is muted.

Are there any other work arounds getting TOM TOM / media player to output through the car kit?

Thanks
[General Topics] petest:
I upgraded my 2i to the latest official rom and when i put it in my cradle (looks the same as yours) I couldn't hear any tomtom directions unless i had the external speaker connected to the control box (haven't got mine wired into my stereo so don't know if the voice would come thru the car speakers).

I found that there was a slight delay on the instruction (cut off about the first 1/2 second) and that it kept losing the sat lock (using rikaline wired receiver) every 10 mins or so. Didn't try it with a bluetooth receiver.

The latest official rom wasn't for me (improved blackberry but i don't use it) and I reverted back to pugs one with the camera fixed and the o2 junk removed - now the voice only comes out of the pda's speaker but i don't lose the sat lock at all. There may be a registry hack that'll send the sound thru the speaker but I can't help you with that.

Not a lot of help. Sorry
[General Topics] Nygie:
How hard is it to upgrade ROM's for a beginner, done pc bios flashes b4, but this sounds more complicated.

Is there a fools guide?

are the official ROMS on here?
[General Topics] petest:
Don't know why that posted twice - sorry.

Before you upgrade rom backup your data (i use sprite backup and go to the advanced options to select "create self restoring" ones). If you're not worried too much about losing the data already installed then you can use activesync to create a new partnership (you'll have to do this anyway) and restore your contacts from there and any software previously installed.

You have to be careful with tomtom as I seem to remember that after a rom update it sometimes asks you to re-activate it and as you can only do it twice (i think) in 6 months you could end up playing email tennis with tomtom support.

The actual rom upgrade is easy ( I've never encountered any problems but use the search to read up on the procedure before going for it) - just remember to leave it in the cradle with the mains adapter plugged in as well and follow the instuctions.

The only minor hiccup i've had is that the rom upgrade wouldn't run first time round but just clicked on run again and it was fine - good luck
[General Topics] Nygie:
Yeah I have heard that about TT, I am a bit reluctant to upgrade the ROM, seen a few posts "pda dead after rom update HELP!!!" :roll:

Surely it must be doable without all the faffing, hopefully someone will know of a reg hack or a util that will do it!

Thanks for your advice.
[General Topics] Nygie:
You would have thought TT would automatically stick the audio out of the car kit :roll:

Had a look inside the car kit and it's micro circuitry tiny surface mount stuff!

That pretty much puts thying the 10K resistor out of the window. Too small for my big numb xxl hands

Hello lads. I have really really big problem with my I9300. I upgraded jellybean from 4.1.2 to 4.3, everything works perfect, but one main problem appears, I can't call, and receive phone calls. My samsung says that i'm not registered on network. I tried to install modems I've rooted device, and nothing happens. Today I decided to downgrade 4.3 to my previous 4.1.2. And surprise surprise, same problem Not registered on network. By the way my IMEI is normal. What should I do next? Any advices? Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hierarchy666:
Hi.

Check for your Serial Number.

Go to, Settings, More, About Device, Status.

If it's 0000. It's corrupted. Also check for Baseband sometimes it shows unknown.

You have corrupted your EFS.

Backup your current EFS before you do anything from this point forward. You can try using PhilZ CWM.

Best bet is try to flash latest 4.3 Rom using Odin.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrunoWestone:
Same problem here. In my case, the problem is slightly different. the phone was a XXEMG4 that i had to downgrade to unlock and consequently recover IMEI. After recover IMEI (I didn't make an efs backup…) i upgrade to 4.3 and can't register on network.

I've been making a lot of research on the subject and i understand i should made a backup of the efs, but i didn't…. My question now is:

Is there any possible way to restore the efs module in v2 permanently, so we can flash another rom without losing it ?

thats the 1.000.000£ question for me :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrunoWestone:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Your efs is corrupt, patched modem may enable it to again be read but will have to be patched reach time you flash new firmware/modem.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arsal_93:
Mate a related question to this if your IMEI is OK and serial no is corrupted,if I make a backup would that back up be OK to restore if I restore it at a different time ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Makes no sense, you can restore a backup at any time. If you've already corrupted efs without making a backup then things can only get worse if you don't start making backups before you flash.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeldenW:
Does anyone remember when the stock Samsung Keyboard had white (or at least lighter grey) keys?

In a recent-ish update to the Stock Samsung Keyboard, the keys were changed from the lighter shades above to the "Dark" theme that we have now.

I just rooted my device today and I'm really searching, looking for the lighter themed keyboard APK that will work for my phone.

In a search of all the XDA forums I found some APK and ODEX files from an S4 thread. I tried those using RootExplorer, but they did not work for my AT&T Note 3.

I know that there are apps out there (SwiftKey / Swype/ etc) that allow user to change theme settings. I've tried all of those keyboards and keep coming back the the stock Sammy keyboard. Does anyone have APKs for the old keyboard that they wouldn't mind sharing?

Any help, tips, or advice that you could share would be great.

Thank you.

Hey guys, I am really stuck. I recently flashed the leak to 4.4.2 and was happy until I dicided to root it using cf-route method.

I then tried to flash TWRP recovery using goo manager app.

To check if it was sucessful I decided to reboot into recovery and now I am stuck in a boot loop.

Cant get into recovery or download mode.

I get this:

Kernel is not seandroid enforcing

set warranty bit: kernel

Any ideas how to fix it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Don't throw the word Bricked around so easily, your phone is NOT bricked

You made the error, if you read properly you would see that TWRP is not yet compatible.

Reboot into download mode (take the battery out to power the phone off) , then flash CWM by chenglu (you can search for it right?)

and it should fix your issue.

Before you start messing around with a £600 + device, you may wanna read up a bit, or you're gonna have a Samsung paperweight. :cowboy:

WOW, what a night. After countless boot loops I removed the battery and waited for a few minutes.

I put the battery back in, pressed volume down, power and home key at the same time.......and BINGO !!!

I guess lesson learnt, do your research before flashing anything. :p

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP35DS4:
I don't know which password you ment, but if a unlock password for the screen or a simcard PIN is ment, erasing userdata/factory reset should be enough. And the sim PIN is ment, you should put in another simcard of which you remember the PIN.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
I've been using the AT&T Safestrap Recovery on my Tmobile N900T and it works perfectly. :D

I flashed the AT&T X-Note ROM port (in slot 1) that they have and it works fine on the N900T. It does install the AT&T CSC (Just for this slot, each ROM slot has it's own CSC), but installing the TMO one causes crashing in the dialer (which also happens in the international rom currently out in the TMO forum). So, just keep the ATT CSC like it is. For Wi-Fi calling, I just boot back into the Stock slot and use the stock ROM.

The AT&T Safestrap (I used latest version 3.71)

The AT&T X-Note Port ROM (NO AROMA)

This allows us to keep Knox warranty intact for those of us that want it/use knox and want a recovery to flash customized TouchWiz ROMS..

Just remember:

NO AOSP ROMS

NO NEW KERNELS (which I believe safestrap can't flash anyway)

NO AROMA based ROMS (the install will just hang)

Hopefully more ROM developers on here will release Aroma free ROMS so that we can take advantage of this excellent tool!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Prod1702:
Isn't the only reasons this is used with the ATT phones are the locked bootloaders and not changing tripping the counter? The counter doesn't matter with T-Mobile since you can do a exchange with T-Mobile since no one checks the counter. I think there is a Samsung rep which already said that T-Mobile doesn't care about the counter. I am not 100% on what this is used for if not only the 2 things I listed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Knox is not a counter. It's more of a container for another instance of android that is used for secure work purposes. This has nothing to do with a flash counter. If you "trip" the knox warranty, it goes from 0x0 to 0x1 and you can not use Knox anymore. Custom recovery or custom kernel will trip it. It blows an e-fuse on your phone and can not be fixed without a motherboard swap. T-Mobile doesn't always check this, but they won't just exchange the phone for you if you ask. They might let you upgrade through the JUMP program or exchange because of another issue, but not necessarily do an exchange like you put it.

Some of us want to preserve the use of Knox because we can use it for work. Some just do not want to blow that e-fuse because it permanently disables a phone feature and possibly devalues it.

ATT phones have a locked bootloader, that means they can't install a custom recovery the traditional way. The T-Mobile version is unlocked so we can, but we blow our e-fuse if we do. There are benefits and limitations to safestrap recovery as there are to the regular recovery. Even if you have a regular recovery installed, the safestrap can also be installed and allows for "slots" that house different ROMS. You can switch between those ROMS with a simple reboot. This opens up possibilities not possible before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siralsmooth:
Great find. I used this on my att note 3 before I made the switch. Would be great to see this adopted here in the tmo note world.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nightfox11:
People the Knox counter is only for the SAMSUNG WARRANTY! if you have any other type of warranty Knox doesn't matter! Trip that $#'t already!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
The Knox warranty is not for Samsung warranty. It is the KNOX WARRANTY... like it says. If you don't know what Knox is, do some research, decide if you need/want to use it and then blow your e-fuse if you don't need it. If tripped it's stating your phone is not warrantied by Knox... not Knox safe because Knox will no longer run on your phone.

People who work in a corporate environment can really benefit from Knox, you can replace that extra work phone with one phone that has a personal side and a work side via the Knox secure container. Even people who don't need it for work can benefit from a secure container that Knox offers just try Knox and see what it is or watch a youtube video.

Don't tell people to trip it if you don't even know what it is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nightfox11:
Oh my bad I just assume that nobody cares for the corporate blah blah blah since this is xda....but you are right maybe I shouldn't tell people.

sent from my Xperia Z1s
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MadJoe:
Haha, just like in real life, you're going to find people on xda with different ideas about just about everything. Some people will never need Knox, others will. And, because this is xda, you will also find people who didn't know they wanted/needed Knox until it was too late. And now it's our responsibility to fix it for them (at least in their minds, anyway).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] depakjan:
is there any side effect or anything using the ATT safestrap ?, also did you just blindly follow the steps from the ATT page or you did something different, i always wanted to have multiboot.

Thanks for letting us know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Just blindly followed steps. No side effects. Make sure you're rooted, download the att safestrap apk and install it. Open apk and click install, click reboot to recovery and that's about it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pete4k:
Multi boot capability is something many could find very useful, this is great find. As a matter of fact all custom ROM should have this, so you can test them, see what works and what not and while you wait for fixes, all you need to do is reboot to get back that WiFi calling, or whatever else doesn't work and you need it ATM. For example, in my case the main reason I don't even consider other ROM is above mentioned WiFi calling, nobody else has.
