It was a good tip Scott, it kept me walking and this morning i was about to give up :good:

Below you can see what happened. I flashed cwm (for 4.4.2) successfully but when trying to access it phone cold reboots as usual. Is it because i don't have root access or its just problem with the 4.4.2 bootloader after unlocking it?

you said i could re-flash a stock image. the phone came with 4.3 but in the meanwhile upgraded to 4.4.2. can i flash 4.3 after having unlocked the bootloader and updated to 4.4.2?. i managed to download both firmwares.

Having read that 4.4.2 bootloader is having trouble with accessing recovery (my case also) i tried to upload 4.3 bootloader. this was the result

i guess everything went right. the phone didnt a cold reboot and went right away to the bootloader. after selecting recovery in this new bootloader i finally managed to have acess to the last CWM 6.0.4.6 recovery. UFFFF!!!

After that i did a wipe cache partition and rebooted. Phone did a cold reboot. after that i follwed the post you mentioned and flashed SUper SU.through CWM

As seen before after renaming install-recovery.sh to .bak root was lost I checked and the file is there again along with the bak so i guess super su created it again.

Check list: Have bootloader. have recovery. have root, i'm on 4.4.2 with 4.3 bootloader. one thing thats not ok, everytime phone reboots android goes on with the following message "android is upgrading --- optimising app x of y" which takes a lot of time. even if i ask for a fast reboot. that was not the usual procedure, the phone just did a fast reboot and nothing more. any advice on this one?

What a enormous trip for someone that didnt knew much about this. Kudos to you for keeping the help!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] free2hear:
Good morning Steve, thanks for your helpful info, once again.

In brief: Rebooting problem persists even when wiping dalvik cache twice. Now the device is not recognized in windows. Neither on desktop pc w7x64 nor laptop w7x32. have motorola drivers on both. It used to recognize device as mtp (media player xt1032) but not anymore. When connected in bootloader device manager recognizes as android adb. I feel the problem is from the phone and not SO. I'll try to fix it this morning.

If i reflash 4.3 do i have to do anything before? Wipe something? Do a nandroid backup? Do a normal backup? I have a few backup apps but never used any of them.

Great appreciation for your help Steve. Have a nice Sunday.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] free2hear:
About the phone not being recognized as mtp, after a brief search it has to do with locking. If it's locked then windows explorer is denied any access for security reasons. As soon as i unlocked it windows recognized the device immediately. -1 problem. only the rebooting stuff now.

:good:
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] free2hear:
rebooting ptoblem

wyped dalvik and cache data several times

also wiped odex files

fixed permissions in rom manager

behaviour persists. after wiping, the phone goes "upgrading android - optimising 225 apps" after that when rebooting the phone goes "android is upgrading... - optimising 103 apps". factory reset as last resort sigh... i hate that :crying:
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sup_uni:
I am having the same issue with the phone being boot loader unlocked and when I try to get into recovery through fastboot it just reboots.

Do you have the stock files that you used along the way?

Thanks. I have never had a phone give me this much hassle before ??:'(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JacksMafia:
hey guys i'm new with android phones anyway i got alcatel one touch 5020x

when i started the phone it goes online and told me that there is system update available so i connected the phone to my pc and used ONE TOUCH Upgrade S 2.8.0 tool which i got it from website i first noticed something that the phone told me the system update size was 87 mb but one the pc download size was over 2 gb why is that?

just now i had the idea of connecting the phone again and check for update again i used ONE TOUCH Upgrade S 2.8.0 and it's downloading again new update

after the first update i checked the phone but every thing was the same

same firmware version 4.1.1 same kernel version 3.4.0 so what is the deal here guys ?

any help ?

also what is rooting ? should i do it?

thanks

[Nexus 5 General] markdapimp:
I have the two phones I had to get the iPhone as nexus 5 on T-Mobile was out of stock even though I had one since YOU HAVE TO GET A DEVICE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEIR ETF OFFER so I said why not iPhone

So I bring this icrap with me home with my nexus 5 let's take a few seconds here to discuss pricing msrp

IPhone 5s MSRP : ~$500 baseline

Google nexus 5 MSRP: $350 baseline

What the baseline is its the lowest capacity of storage available.

Build quality I would say that though the iPhone 5c was more the pricy msrp the nexus 5 does stand out with its soft touch tone back and ceramic power and volume rocker buttons

OS iOS vs Android

Having both it seems iOS just doesn't seem right.. The 5c stuffers some lag doing basic tasks where ad nexus 5 is solid performance throughout the entire system.

IOS is simpler on some levels however have you tried putting your own custom ringtone on iOS its a mess check it out

http://m.digitaltrends.com/mobile/how-to-make-ringtones-for-iphone/

The nexus 5 and android simply allows me to download a third party app to trim it then and there and set it or just go on google play long press the song and boom set as ringtone so android is easier on some levels than iOS fair enough give one take one.

Camera : I would say nexus 5 is better but its just preference on the HDR+ which I love.

Battery life; sorry but I give this to apple as the amp hours are smaller on the iPhone than the nexus 5 and it still somehow gets through the day better than the nexus 5 (this doesn't mean you can't improve it though) custom kernals under clocking etc.

Cellular radio performance; sorry giving this to apple hands down the iPhone 5c beats the nexus 5 by almost having no service in room on nexus 5 or 1 bar of LTE on iPhone. Granted the radio is optimized and then google has not yet have a chance to play around.

Overall I'm switching my Sims back and forward the T-Mobile chat reps hate me for switching so much times per day (micro Sim to nano Sim) but overall my head is leaning towards the nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] oddlyshapedstickman:
I soon as I read that I guessed this would be biased towards the N5. If you're gonna compare at least put them both on a level playing ground.
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
I will say that IOS's supposed speed/smoothness advantage is really overblown. I've spent enough time using iOS 7 on the iPhone 5S to get a good feel for the OS and the phone, and honestly, it feels slow next to my N5. I also don't understand why so many people are content to use a phone with such a tiny screen. Different strokes, I guess.
[Nexus 5 General] mistahseller:
Or they have never tried anything else and think android is laggy and buggy and reboots all the time. Its all in the iKoolaid
[Nexus 5 General] poplectic:
I'm no apple fan but there's no way the nexus 5s camera is better than the iPhone's although I noticed you did qualify what you said with reference to HDR+. I've found that over a period of time the iPhones camera will give consistently better results. It really annoys me but it seems to be the way it is.
[Nexus 5 General] Damian2013:
They aren't equal though. It was compared to a 5c.
[Nexus 5 General] mjs2011:
I love my iPad air, but I could never go to Apple for all my devices. I love Android too much. Otherwise, I personally feel that both have their pros and cons and it's up to the user to decide what's important to them.
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
I always have to laugh when someone tries to make an argument about Android being laggy. Maybe in 2011. It's no longer a valid argument.
[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
Agreed. I just updated my iPad mini to the retina one and was expecting to be blown away by its speed and fluidity. Needless to say I was more than a little disappointed. It's fast, don't get me wrong, but the 2013 N7 feels more responsive to me even though it has only an S4 pro in it. Also, the iPad is quite laggy at times. Another big thing is stability- all the iOS fanboys argue about is how stable iOS is compared to Android, yet my experience has been the exact opposite. With my old 4s, my old 5, and my iPad I get constant app crashes and occasional UI freezes. Far more than on Android. The difference is that Android lets you know if something force closes whereas iOS tries to hide it. I still think iOS and iDevices in general are great products and have their merits, but Android has come a looooong way since its birth and there really is no comparison anymore. Android > iOS in pretty much all fronts.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Better yet, lets not compare at all. Various threads doing this and they are already too many in numbers

[Nexus 5 General] nerv8765:
I love the iOS's vast library of apps and sleek phone/tablet designs, but that's about it. I can not use a 4-inch screen. It literally hurts my eyes. I honestly wish that they made a 6 inch Nexus phone, because I love big screens. And like others have said, Android has come a very long way in terms of stability, support, and smoothness. But most people still think of those crappy Droid phones when they hear Android. Droid was a good name, but ultimately too close to "Android", so now people get them mixed up.

The Apple tax is just too much. I won't pay close to 100% more just for a logo and some aluminum.
[Nexus 5 General] lolpok:
IOS runs better on bad hardware, but Android is pretty smooth if you have a mobile/pad with good hardware.
[Nexus 5 General] aooga:
Yeah I'll agree with you on a few things but not all. Price (32gb 5s is $749, 32gb N5 is $399). Build quality on the 5S (only iPhone I had) is great...way better than the Nexus 5. Camera is much better on the N5 with HDR+. Battery life is better on the 5S, no idea why. Apple customer service is miles ahead of LG's CS.

The major reason why I returned the 5S (I've been using android since the beginning of time and wanted to try the dark side out :)) is because it was SO SLOW. Everything lagged and stuttered and crashed about 3 times a day. I have now lost all respect for iOS users who say Android crashes and lags. What are they comparing it to, some Alcatel phone?

---------- Post added at 09:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 AM ----------

No, this used to be right. But with iOS 7 finally having the features that Android has (some), it lags a LOT on a CPU (A7) that supposedly beats the S800.
[Nexus 5 General] mistahseller:
Some phone running Gingerbread most likely because that's all people know and it's cemented into their minds.
[Nexus 5 General] lolpok:
then i tell everyone, simply don't use IOS 7
[Nexus 5 General] aooga:
How is that possible with a 5S?

---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 AM ----------

Even gingerbread didn't lag as much as ios7 on my Captivate. ios7 is truly hopeless.
[Nexus 5 General] tebore:
That's one opinion I guess.

2 Points don't make sense. You can't just give a win away by saying the iPhone wins battery life with less amps and still makes it thru the day. The iPhone is also 4" vs 4.95" screen. <720P screen vs 1080P etc.

The key point is to compare if either phone can get thru the same day doing the same things. Unfortunately out of the box the Nexus 5 does more things. G+, Gmail, GDrive they're all set to stayed sync'd out of the box. The iPhone out of the box does less background data movement.

Radio reception... how can you compare via the bars? They don't mean anything, they're 'feel good' bars. Can you make a call? how fast is the LTE etc... would determine which one wins. From many reviews online and looking at dbi comparisons with devices in hands there's no clear winner.

The Camera, even tho I own an N5 I'd have to give to the iPhone. The color accuracy is better on the iphone, the software stabilization is good enough. Overall it's also easier for the novice to use.

I came from an iPhone to the N5 and was hoping Apple would do something more with iOS7 other than make it look different and work slower. Android for my use has surpassed Apple in functionality. Though I will say for the things iOS does it does it really well and Android can still learn from it. Eg. The calendar the stock one sucks compared to Apple's stock calendar.

That all said the iPhone isn't worth the premium over the $350-$400 for the N5.
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
Older versions of iOS run better on bad hardware. I don't think a lot of iPhone 4 owners were thrilled with their iOS 7 update.
[Nexus 5 General] Dani897:
on phones running gingerbread, gingerbread is often the best option... it depends on hardware, jb has more hardware acceleration, but gingerbread is lighter on ram. as smooth as jb can feel on the home screen i think the overall performance os better with gb on many single core phones which is why cm7 was supported while cm9 was already out. still everyone has to have the latest and greatest and often convince themselves the new stuff is better when it's sometimes not true..

as far as the feel, apple has animations that may be smooth but there is a noticeable wait. with ios7 its not only a wait but there is a choppyness that android phones might have shown 2-3 years ago. the "long press" on apple also seems a bit longer. i really don't find apple phones to feel fast as much as they look smooth. just my opinion. don't get me wrong..i don't like the company but the device isn't that bad and as much as i hate the elitism of things that exist elsewhere but apple makes them proprietary and brands them for use on apple products only, they do make new tech easy and unintimidating to people that would never discover these things on a pc or android.

i prefer android but the android "ecosystem" is all over the place, some devices get updates, others don't. feature sets vary, build varies. there are literally thousands of devices and many gave people bad experiences. there are too many choices with android while there are no real choices with apple. you chose a color, storage size and 2 performance levels... the screen size doesn't change. the interface stays much the same. i actually prefer the old androids from a feature set point of view. i can do without a keyboard, actually i hate them, but a track ball make text navigations more precise and the menu button was useful. unfortunately people found it confusing (which says volumes about the intelligence of the general population) but i don't know how i went without 300+ ppi for all those years... a 5" screen is kinda big but with a 16:9 aspect ration a 4.2-4.7" screen would be the butter zone. with 16:10 4"-4.2" is good. apple needs to make a wider phone. and android manufacturers need to stop making so many damn phablets..
[Nexus 5 General] Cuppeerr:
I think that people always compare these and say android is laggy because they have the latest iPhone and some cheap $49.99 android phone and are wondering why it's so bad. Obviously if you get a budget android phone it's not gonna be that good.....

Hey guys, I'm new here:D

Recently i've posted the same request but i was in wrong section. :(

Alright, so I need the original 4.2.2 SystemUI.apk because I was modify it without backing it up:( and now it crashes:crying:

Yeah I knew that was so dumb so I need it in order to use my phone normally.

Thankyou :D

I'm guessing you have a custom recovery and are rooted? would it not be easier to flash a new rom from the threads on here??? (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2575766 the deox one for example) i know its 4.3 but its the latest android version for your mini.

i could be wrong but just a thought.
[HTC One Mini] RuffBuster:
Maybe you could match it with your software version from the roms available in stock roms section, and pull the file from the zip? Check which "rom version" your using from settings>about>software information.

I'm guessing you are running stock?

but i think i will go for magiorom.. for more customizable rom.

still waiting the systemui till tomorrow before trying magiorom/stock4.3

Yeah stock 4.2.2

Thanks! never thought about the pulling stuff. Gonna try it.

Couldn't found stock rom, and there is deodex rom with 1.2gb file wich is too big:(

If anyone can pull with adb and upload it, that would help me!:)

BACKUP & RESTORE YOUR KERNEL

​

Tool by hnkotnis

Version Alpha RC1​

Hello again! We have tools to backup kernel (chamatht's method) and restore it (faqbly's method),

But there is not any

SINGLE TOOL

to do both. So I thought Aroma by Amarullz would be the

one stop solution for that. CWM cannot backup Kernel. I know Madteam's can do but it cannot restore it. Also taking whole NANDROID backup just for a less than 8 MiB file is crazy idea.

I worked on it from afternoon and at evening I present it to the developer's community.

This tool can do both backup and restore of kernel.

Tested and working on -

1) Stock Kernel,

2) Hell's Fusion #50,

3) Kuro's Kernel.

Screenshots -

Only Backup Screenshots uploaded, restore are similar.

View attachment 2521817 View attachment 2521818 View attachment 2521819 View attachment 2521820

Instructions-

1) Put zip in root of SD Card and flash with CWM.

2) Choose language, Theme for the process.

3) Next agree the T&C

4) In next screen, there are 4 options -

a) Backup/Restore.

b) System Info (I am still wondering why I added this anyway :D)

c) Changelog

d) Quit without doing any backup/restore.

Credits-

amarullz for his amazing Aroma Installer.

Myself hnkotnis for creating this thing.

You for using this and
