[Moto X Q&A] Sangredelsalvador:
Hello everybody, I am having some problems after the 4.4.2 update. I took the OTA to 4.4.2 from 4.4, installed TWRP, rooted all fine and dandy. I installed some rooted apps such as xposed and all that but when i rebooted afterwards my phone wont boot up past the moto boot animation. It plays the animation just fine but then instead of booting into android it just goes to a black screen. :confused: I can boot into fastboot and custom recovery( both CWM and TWRP) just fine but it keeps going to the black screen. I have the unlocked T-Mobile version. I read that downgrading from 4.4.2 to 4.4 will cause a brick so im not sure what other options i have? any ideas?
[Moto X Q&A] flashallthetime:
There's normally a xposed Disabler zip file left in the downloads folder which can be flashed in recovery

I know again miss information , I just posted on the thread because he's misleading people in thinking you can flash an ota while being rooted, you can only if you use his patch and side load it, this is why people are f---ing up the f---ing phones.

Just one question left for you. So lets say I flash the rogers sbf file and later after the t mobile sbf is released, is it required I ONLY flash those three .imgs? I can't flash the whole t mobile sbf?
[Moto X Q&A] kpetrie77:
Since you don't know who I am, feel free to use this information or not. The partition table and bootloader are updated now that you took the OTA and cannot be downgraded. Assuming the update applied successfully the first time (you said it was good until reinstalling TWRP/Xposed) you should be able to downgrade safely using the below.

Since your bootloader is unlocked, you can use the T-Mobile/Developer Edition 4.4 files (minus those two partitions) from recovery image from Motorola and then flash the OTA again. It is labeled as MOTO X, GSM Dev Edition: KK 4.4-13.11.1Q2.X-69-3_MR2 (Retail) but this is the same device/firmware. The Motorola recovery image also contains working fastboot+the adb dll files needed for fastboot to work. Just throw everything into the same folder, open a cmd window and fastboot the images:

fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

I can throw what I used into a zip and PM you the link if that would help. You can unzip to desktop, boot into bootloader, plug in USB and hit the install.bat in the folder. The bat file contains just the fastboot steps. Once back on 140.44.3.ghost_row.Retail.en.US, you are back on the "official" firmware track, no funky stuff left over from rooting, and can reflash the OTA which gets you back to on official 4.4.2.

After that make sure you are using a recovery for 4.4 and above. I know Hashcode's works (linked in the OTA thread.) There are some older test builds that are for 4.2 that the partition mapping is not correct on 4.4+ and may explain why you're not booting into system now.
[Moto X Q&A] Sangredelsalvador:
If you could pm the zip that would be great.

Hi, I am currently using the Ninetology Black Pearl 2 (Malaysia handphone).

I have seen the article said now the Android 4.4 Kit Kat is available for 512mb phone.

1. Can I root my Ninetology Black Pearl 2 to the android 4.4 version?

2. How to root the phone and I am a Mac user which Google USB driver is only available for windows platform.

TQ.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nasheich Xfiles:
1. no good question, maybe your question is like this

Can i upgrade my Ninetology Black Pearl 2 to the android 4.4 version?

and my answer is, it's depends on your vendor, if they give the update for your device, you'll get it,

2. never heard your device before, you can try googling for it,,,
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eaddy:
Sorry for my bad question and thank you for your reply.

My vendor doesn't provide the update for my device.

It is a Malaysia production smartphone.

My question are, can I just simply upgrade my version from 4.0.4 to stock android 4.4 from google?

Any specific system requirements for upgrade version?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nasheich Xfiles:
no you can't, if your vendor doesn't give the update, you can't just simply update it, ,

but, if you can or understand about android programming, you can build it your self from the Source, like AOSP, Cyanogen, etc...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eaddy:
yea. That is what I am looking for but sadly I am not the programmer.

Waiting any expert to build it. :(

If you have deleted any apks then it may mess up any updates you take. Or go to sammobile and look for 4.4 firmware for your phone and use Kies to install.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNameRedNeck:
I see.

The other reply that I made with the link in it. Follow that link and install what it tells you to install.

After you install it you can make you phone show an "official" status which will allow you to check for updates.

I do not know where the guy in the YouTube video got his firmware.

There is firmware available for the SM-9005 at www.sammobile.com but they seem to be country and carrier specific, I do not know as I do not have that phone.

You may be better off getting instructions in this section of XDA http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3?nocache=1&z=7992070960968063

We can talk forever about the pros and cons of custom roms over official releases. If you're worried one bit about knox counter, then do the official release. If you're comfortable with modifying your device and you can follow directions, I recommend you focus all your attention to this sub forum for your device here!

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] _TB_TB_:
Hello...

I've upgraded my BA to AtrZ's WM5 port and there is a problem with it (as with Ivan's; I did not test Tuma yet...): the mail accounts (regular e-mail ones, user-defined) DISAPPEAR whenever I perform a soft-reset of my BA. Disappear->they are no longer available in the Messaging app. When I try to re-create those accounts I get an error message that account with specified name already exist (thus the problem is in not storing the config data in the registry; the data is stored somewhere - \cemail.vol propably).

Another problem is the disappearing username and password for GPRS accounts - sometimes (after any system crash) the username and password for ALL my GPRS accounts are blank..........

Any idea? :(
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Tuatara:
I'm now of the opinion that there are a few problems with the Database implementation on WM5, as this appears to be a common problem - especially on the prior versions of the filesystem on the BA.

I don't believe that there is much which can be done about this, as the corruption is within the database itself, and not within the registry or other easily editable elements. At present we don't have any application (I'm aware of!) which permits us to edit the contents of the databases on WM5.

The only suggestion I can make is to try and rename the cemail.vol file, and then do a soft-reset to force it to be rebuilt. If necessary you could try and replace the system .vol files attached below to see if the account is created in one of those. As always, backup early, backup often.

*** HAS ANYONE HAD THIS PROBLEM USING TuMa v1.3 ON THEIR BLUE ANGEL TO DATE??? ***

This is a VERY important question, as if nobody has experienced this issue on that particular version, then I will REVERT the filesystem design back to that TuMa v1.3 implementation, instead of trying to improve anything on the performance.

History:

TuMa v1.3 was a COMPLETE redesign of the filesystem and driver configuration from the GROUND UP. The design goal I followed was for MAXIMUM RELIABILITY, not for performance. This is also why OLD applications such as Repart_DOC will NOT work with TuMa v1.3.

TuMa v1.4 changed this, and went for MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE instead. This now obviously has had a number of EVIL implications, and seems to result in data corruption and problems.

Can anyone reading this please post their experiences!??!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] raymondu999:
Actually, durng my experience of using TuMa1.3, these kinds of things never happened. I have yet to test 1.4,when suddenly it was retired :oops:
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] _TB_TB_:
Hello...

The \cemail.vol cannot be replaced/renamed/copied/accessed :(

The problem was so far 'fixed' by hard-reset, creating the accounts, soft-resetting the device, and proceeding with further device configuration.

The accounts exist after a regular soft reset (using power-down-for-15secs-and-hit-the-reset). i did not try the 'crashreboot' yet (softreset button without pwrdown).

I'll use my BA for a while and try to precisely find where the problem is...

Thank you...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] efjay:
Tuatara, I never experienced the error with email disappearing UNLESS my phone battery ran out and I did not soft reset when the "R None" was displayed during boot. I have also not had any problems with GPRS settings disappearing.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] _TB_TB_:
efjay is right - my battery died out today due to WiFi usage (yes, the accounts are lost, together with the passwords).

How to replace the vol files?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Tuatara:
Hmmm ... not sure. I haven't had either of my BA's working 'long enough' to test things (one is on TuMa v1.5-alpha test, and the other is my 27th AKU2 'brick'). And I'm sure not going to replace the .vol files on my Himalaya (main phone) right now. It may actually not be possible to do so, since the applications (running in the background) are locking portions of the files.

The fact that the accounts are lost when the battery dies is a VERY interesting one! This alludes to something not being stored in FLASH, but something remaining in VOLATILE storage!!! This would be a VERY nasty bug - but one which has been present in all prior versions of WM5 for BA (and/or other devices).

I'll try and see what this could be ... maybe there is a file which is being stored incorrectly in a path/location which is NOT being written back to Flash (i.e. in the repl_filters or otherwise).
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] _TB_TB_:
The .vol files can be backed up and restored by Spb Backup. Since the accounts are ok (at least for now) I did not try to restore the VOL files;)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] efjay:
Tuatara, the disappearing email accounts has been around since the first wM5 rom was released and I also have read it has happened to a few people with Universals (probably early rom versions). So I dont think its something that is restricted to the TuMa series of roms. As i said it only seems to happen when the "R None" message appears when booting, normally when the battery has drained.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] foxtrot2:
experienced this problem too. what happened was i turned off Radio and changed battery(low battery) when rebooted R : None showed and my e-mail accounts were wiped out. when i turned on radio again and rebooted mail accounts are gone for good.

Have tried the Press Power for 15 seconds + hit reset still unable to get accounts.

What gives?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] efjay:
You have to soft reset using the reset hole immediately you see the "R None" message when booting or else the email accounts will be gone and cant be recovered.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Tuatara:
Now this is the kind of information which MUST BE WIKI'D so that everyone knows about this. I had no idea this was the case!

I'll see what could be the cause of this (if I can). But it might well be impossible to fix, since it's happening in the BOOT LOADER portion, and not in the main line OS code. Maybe a portion of the device flash is being overwritten with error logging code or something else, causing this issue?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] foxtrot2:
Thanks efjay will give it a try :)

Seems to be happening on HTC TyTN as well

Hi,

This bug around the cemail.vol database seems to be happening on my Vario II as well. To cause it to happen I created a dummy IMAP account using the EmailWiz package included on the phone, and after it had been set up immediately soft reset the phone. Now, on looking at the Messaging window the email account has dissapeared and whats more, my email storage is full, so I can't add another account (guess it must still be allocated within the cemail.vol).

http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=244014&st=140

Details the problem fully. I guess currently there is no way of being able to manipulate this .vol file aside from hard resetting the device and setting up e-mail accounts again?

Cheers,

Paul
