[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] LinuxHippy:
All fixed :)

Well, I didn't have to flash another ROM after I had redone the partitions. Once I had shut down the SGP5 after doing the partitions, I left it on for a half hour or so and then shut it down. When I restarted the SGP5 it booted just fine into the last ROM I flashed. I think it's running Eryigit 3.5 but it may be another one. I'm gonna restore a backup in CWM that I made a year ago and that should be running Eryigit 3.5.

How can I find out which ROM it is running and any idea why there were 4 heads on the device? I bought it as a refurbished SGP5 so somebody else may have done it months ago or maybe the AParted app I was using to format an SD card did that.

Thanks for your help :)

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
To find out what ROM your running, the best evidence is going to be in the "About Phone" area, or the build.prop. I think ( not really sure ) that there was a time that the "heads" property did represent the physical number of heads that the storage device had but with more modern forms of storage, it's just a number that part of an algorithm for organizing the space into units. I might be wrong there. It's just the impression that I get. Most likely it was a result of the way AParted partitions disks....

On a personal note, if you look @ the build.prop for Eryigit's rom, you'll probably see my name. "Meticulus". It's sort of an easter egg...:laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] LinuxHippy:
Actually the backup I had wasn't working with google play so I wound up flashing with the LLF Russian ROM & then flashing a rooted stock gingerbread ROM and wiping data and caches. Then it was new and I had to login to google play. Now everything works.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] LinuxHippy:
I thought it might be helpful to others if I posted the 2 final ROMs that I used. I'm not sure if they were necessary, but since I wound up re-doing all the apps from scratch I figured that I should try to do all the tips I was given at XDA.

So, Meticulus posted this:

Instructions for U.S. YP-G70

1. Download this http://www.4shared.com/zip/vxHoJ8E0/...OK_222RU_.html

2. Extract this 'G70JKKE3-REV00-ALL-low-CL1014588.tar.md5'

3. Put Player in 'Download Mode' and flash the above mentioned file.

Note: No extra options, just open ODIN, check for 'COM* added!', click 'PDA', select the file and click start.

4. After the flash, it'll reboot. If you like Froyo and you don't mind your capacitive buttons not working, OR you have a European Model, you can stop here.

5. Download this http://www.4shared.com/rar/XkZ-pDCc/...UEKI8_MIN.html posted previously.

6. Extract this 'ueki8_min.tar.md5' ----> For the love of GOD do not use that pit file

7. Put Player in 'Download Mode' same as step 3; no other options!

8. After it has automatically rebooted, a factory reset and cache wipe needs to be done, I caught it after the automatic reboot went right into recovery mode. If you don't catch it. Just power it down how ever you can, power it back on holding volume up and do

FACTORY RESET AND WIPE DALVIK CACHE

I bought last year LTE version of N7.

So i ordered Nillkin Leather Wakeup case wich i really like.

Before case came i sent my N7 to RMA and i got it today.

I was put my tablet in that Nillkin case all was fine until i tryed to use it.

Device wont sleep/wake whit this special made case.

I dont know whats happening.Is this some cruel joke by Google/Asus to not include magnetic sensor in LTE version or what?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] insanezz:
I've also just bought the nilkin case and the sleep/wake function doesn't work ... This was the reason i bought the case.. I'm also full stock.. Does nobody have a solution :'(?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Karlo666:
I got new one for free.

Now it works fine.

Seems that seller has much of defective units.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] insanezz:
Hmm... I think i also need to return mine.. But just a quick question for you since you have the case. Could you maybe check with a paperclip or something where the magnet is located in the case?

Because in my case i can't seem to find any magnet.. That's probarly the reason it doesn't work i gues. I've also tried another nexus 7 from a friend of mine and the sleep/wake doesn't work at his either.

Thanks for the effort.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Karlo666:
Thing is magent isnt that strong but its enough to sleep/wake device and thats how it should be.

Just RMA it its defective.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] insanezz:
But are you able to locate its position or not? It cant be that weak. A paperclip should do the trick.

Hi all,

Ever since getting my S4, I barely give any attention to my TF300T. That said, I have ~170GB of various Nandroid and drag-and-drop backups. What method would the awesome community at XDA suggest I use to consolidate all these backups, remove duplicate information and potentially recover some files I hadn't know I lost?

I look forward to the advice!

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] zackiv31:
I have an Incredible 4g on Verizon that I acquired during the first week of release. I was fortunate enough to get it unlocked during the time when HTC allowed it from their site. I unlocked the phone, installed TWRP, and rooted my device (I'm not entirely sure how I did this).

It's been over a year now, and my phone is kind of sluggish. How can I go about updating this phone to the latest software? I'd settle for the latest OTA from Verizon, as long as I can keep it rooted.

I'm also willing to flash one of the other kernels, but I dont really have any experience flashing CM or Viper.

So what's the best way to go about doing this? How do you update an already rooted phone? Ideally I'd like to keep all apps/data during the update. Any information or links for how to update appreciated!

My phones details:

Android 4.0.3

HTC Sense 4.0

Software: 1.43.605.3.710RD

HTC SDK API: 4.11
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] j13smiley:
it probably won't even install unless you return to stock recovery.

another poster already confirmed losing root after installing the update.

imo - the update is not worth it anyway. they other thread lists the changes... nothing significant.

if your phone is sluggish either find out what is causing it (app, etc), tweak performance using your root, or wipe it and start clean. i would not give up an unlocked, rooted device for this update.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] zackiv31:
Is this just for stock updates, or for Viper/VM mods as well? I'm willing to step up to 4.3 or 4.4 with one of these custom ROMs, assuming I can keep root.

Is this a complicated process to install one of these custom ROMs (anything special since my phone is so "old")?

Will I have to wipe and install from scratch as well?

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
Installing a fresh/new ROM is very easy, and it will indeed require reinstalling apps. However, Look at getting Titanium Backup Root - I highly recommend the Pro version - you can back up all of your apps and data. Once performing a full TiB backup to your external SD card, you can wipe and install a fresh ROM, then restore any/all apps and data backed up with TiB. The app will pick up right where you backed it up, settings and all. You may need to re-set up a few apps (such as email settings).

If you like sense, I recommend ViperLTE. It's very close to stock Sense, but offers several great tweaks you can choose to use (or not). Installing it is easy if you have TWRP recovery installed. If you don't have TRWP installed, look at mdmower's thread for that recovery. I also highly recommend performing a full Nandroid backup to your external SD card before doing anything.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dkkunkel:
Very true... I, too, lost root after OTA update. I've tried every method I could find to attempt to unlock bootloader now with update... even tried wipe and flash of stock RUU 2.17.605.2: unable to go back to older version due to updated bootloader (wouldn't let me load it).

It'd be nice if HTCdev simply updated for a .bin that'll work... I tried flashing unlock_code.bin from previous experiences... but wouldn't work either. Any rumors of a new method to unlock the new bootloader?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] askpcguy:
Hi Everyone,

I noticed that effort seems to have stopped in porting MIUI over to the Skyrocket from the Hercules. I began to look around and have found PatchRom from MIUI. With PatchRom, Miui Code can be inserted into CyanogenMod v10.1 (Android 4.2.2) for the Skyrocket.

I am no developer but I managed to get patchrom to do its thing. However I am left with some smali files which need to be resolved before Patchrom will create an alpha ROM for testing.

Is anyone interested in helping with this side project? I've posted in the Miui port thread in the development section but nobody replied.

As an example, the top part is the before, the bottom is where MiCode insert has failed. The ! means Replace/Modify existing code.

Hello everyone,

i am having some problems to get the right (and safest) way to unlock the BL of my z1.

The sum of my last few hours is this:

1. Root the device

2. Make a TA Backup (for DRM keys and relocked BL)

3. unlock BL

4. install custom rom

(am i forgetting something here?)

But the very first point of the list is already a problem. I got that the camera will break,

if you root it in the .534 version, so i updated to .290 - but now i can't find any tutorial on

how to root the .290, without switching back to .534 and rooting it (what, afaik, will

break my camera). The only other version i found would be with vRoot, but vRoot doesn't

do the job - after about two minutes vRoot on the desktop just shows something else,

but not the picture showed in the tutorials (and, too bad, i can't read chinese/korean/...),

nor a check (and yes, i allowed the two apps on the phone).

Thanks in advance

Ps:

Could somebody tell me what "FTF" means?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shem2409:
The only way to root is to downgrade to .534. This will NOT break your camera. Check out my video tutorial in the signature for a video guide on how to root coming from .290.

FTF 's are Sony's firmware files.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Out there are 2 ways only how to root your Z1, both are for Locked Bootlader. 1 best way is here step by step, page 2, Post #16 http://xdaforums.com/show...2588331&page=2 or NUT method here http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2572988

After that you can Backup your TA first (DRM Keys) and then Unlock Bootloader, but only if you want to flash a Custom Kernel, if you don't do that do not unlock it, you will also void your warranty if you do.

BTW, at the moment you can't root your phone on .290 directly with Vroot or 360 without a downgrade.

You could try the phone info app. I know you're able to force a 3g connection through it, but I've had instances where it completely shut off my 4g and was unable to revert back.

Yes because it has backup system yo backup gapps, if you want to get rid of gapps, go to mounts and storage on cwm and do format system, and then flash cm11 or other rom
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berrydroidcafe:
If I'm not mistaken, some devs do add some gapps into their roms. Not all of them mind you. Also when you do a factory reset via the recovery, it doesn't wipe the system partition. Most roms will wipe it when it (rom) is flashed, so gapps from previous roms wouldn't or shouldn't be there.

I've recently gone through hell trying to root and install ROMs on my friend's HTC Evo for Virgin Mobile. Something I just noticed is that it seems the 3D and V are two variants of the same phone. Is the V the only version of the Evo on Virgin Mobile? If so, does this mean I should look for ROMs/root guides specifically for the V or should the 3D guides be exactly the same? The bootloader shows it as shooter, which means it's a CDMA 3D, but everything referring to Virgin Mobile shows the phone as the V. Can someone clear this up?
[HTC EVO 3D] somekid15:
The virgin mobile variant of the 3d is the Evo V, only use ROMs from the CDMA dev thread or you will get bootloops
[HTC EVO 3D] CodemasterRob:
Thanks. I've had a huge headache with my friend's Evo. It got stuck in a bootloop not because I'm not using CDMA ROMs, but because I can't find any ROMs that work with hboot 1.58.

Hey,

I was using VoiceEnable to use MS VoiceCommand and bypass the built-in voice dialer:

http://www.burling.co.nz/Default.aspx?tabid=151

It worked GREAT on my stock TMo MDA (USA)!!

However, I did the ROM update, and this little wonder no longer works! :( Moreover, the link seems to be dead; I was hoping there was an update.

===========================

(UPDATE)

OK,VoiceEnable did reassign the headset button, but it didn't reassign the button on the device. So I tried to do this manually using DoubleLauncher <http://www.orthancsoftware.com/DoubleLaunch.htm>. But it didn't show up as an option. SO... to make the short story long, I manually pasted a shortcut to voicecmd.exe into \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\. Then DoubleLauncher allowed me to reassign the device button. WHEW. Mission accomplished.

It modifies a registry key so that Voice Command is invoked when you use your BT headset to initiate a call. If you don't run VoiceEnable (or mod the registry key yourself), when you use your BT headset's button to start a call, the phone will invoke the default built-in voice recognition software - NOT Voice Command.

So i was trying to install synergy rom (this one)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1792499

So I rebooted into TWRP recovery, backed up, factory reset thrice, and went to flash it. As it was flashing, the installer popped up, and i followed the directions. I chose the middle one (medium amount of bloat) because they said that it was recommended, and I wasn't exactly sure what the three options were.

Anyways, after waiting for awhile on the loading bar, it eventually rebooted, and I assumed it was working (i hadn't been staring at my phone for the 5 minutes, so im not sure if anything popped up on the screen)

So when it started to reboot, it flashed by with the Galaxy SIII screen with Cid underneath it (i had been running cm10 before this) which i thought was a bit weird, but I figured i would let it go and see what happened

So then the screen turned completely black and just sat there. I waited for a good 10 minutes, and with nothing happening I decided to pull the battery and restore back to cm.

Now I decided that I might as well try again with CWM, to see if the issue was with TWRP.

I went through the same rom installation process and the same exact thing happened.

As it is, I'm going to keep using Cm until i can figure this out.

¿Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

FIRST back up ur internal memory on your pc or micro sd card the stuff u want save ..pics vids etc

wen u go into TWRP recovery

-click WIPE

-swipe to the right for FACTORY RESET

-after done press back

-click FORMAT DATA

-messege pops up says are you sure u wanna do it it will erase EVERYTHING on your internal memory .(remember if u save what u wanted ) type YES and your done ..

-flash rom and gapps

-boot ..first boot always takes a while
