Rom

I have a Blu Advance 4.0 with a corrupt rom. Can you get me a backup of your rom?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] nickhernandez:
So like a moron I installed ViperRom 5.0 with regular old CWM. Now as a result I'm stuck at the bootloader with no access to recovery.

I have no idea what to do now. PLEASE HELP!!!!

S-ON

Hboot 1.55.0000
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gimmeitorilltell:
Can you not boot into recovery from the boot loader or reboot and hold the volume down button?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] nickhernandez:
I only have access to my bootloader......can't get into recovery or boot into the rom.

My terminal window keeps hanging on "waiting for device" so I don't think USB Debugging was enabled.....

The only thing that is looking bright is that my computer is recognizing my phone in Fastboot.

I'm completely clueless on what to do now.....

Please anyone help
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gimmeitorilltell:
Maybe try flashing recovery again?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
Does it say fastbootusb? If not press the power button to select fastboot.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] nickhernandez:
I can get to fastboot USB but from there I'm honestly lost...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
I can help you remotely PM if interested :D
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Morghan:
i'm in the same boat, but when I go to flash another recovery in fastboot my phone freezes after it fails to flash.

sending 'recovery' (9786 KB)...

FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))

finished. total time: 0.016s

Then my phone freezes and I have to reboot into bootloader.

Never mind solved it.

Hello everyone.

I am currently residing in Canada and watching lots of Netflix and Downloaded torrent shows and movies. For now my laptop is connected

directly to my tv via hdmi cable and that's how i watch all my shows. I am using chrome browser and mediahint extension in order to get US netflix in Canada and its working great! My question is what is the best way to resume that once i get my chromecast? I found this article

http://thestreamingadvisor.com/2014...e-with-experimental-full-screen-cast-feature/

Has anyone done this and does it work? Is there another way of doing it?

Thank you!

Hello all, BRAND NEW guy here, looking to publish his first app; however I do have a question about it first, just before i get myself into trouble. [Hope this is the right section for this type of question]

So..I've got very few ideas for new apps, and I'm very new to android development. So i figured starting with things i would like to have done for me automatically first would be a good idea.

My app [very simple, mainly for the cheaters out there] will modify saved game data on the SD card. Data such as points, rewards, in-game cash, etc. However, normally, values [such as in game cash] can be either earned, OR bought from the company through an in-app purchase.

So here I lay my question: Should I be concerned if I published my app since it would have potential to interfere with profits for the company? Or should i be concerned about anything legally here? Or even getting my app removed from the google play marketplace?

Thank you guys in advance!

Hi.! Guys i really need help.! I Know There is a "NON - ZTE Blade" Thread in The ZTE Blade Forums for All The NON ZTE Devices (Obviously) But this need more Help than a Quick Reply and i Dont Know Where to put It.!

Well The Problem is.. i Got a ZTE Nubia Z5 ("2nd Hand") With a Software Camera Problem (I Think is a Software problems Because the Camera Works Sometimes), I Tried To Hard Reset the Phone But i Just Got a White Screen, And i Tried To enter in Recovery Mode And Get The Same White Screen (The Phone in ADB its Recognized as "NX501 Recovery" Normally is in "NX501 Device"), That means Something in The Recovery NAND or Something i Dont Know is Bad.!

(The Phone was Normally Working Fine, Since... My Brother Installed Chainfire 3D and is Stuck in the Boot Logo, Sounds Normal like is Entering in the OS (That music that sound when u Turn on a Phone) But Still Stuck on the Boot Logo, i Read is a Chainfire Problem in some Devices)

So I Start to try To Install Some Custom Recovery CWM, TWRP etc.! Was TOO HARD to find a Recovery Because ALL The Information you can find on the Internet about This Phone is in Chinese (i Dont know Chinese) And Some Russian Too (Dont know Russian to (lol))..

So i Found a TWRP Recovery (Also a CWM Too) But both in Chinse (I Dont care if is in Chinese).! So I Tried To Enter in Bootloader Mode To Install The Custom Recovery, Ok The Phone ENTERS in Bootloader (i Think so) The phone Gets on the Boot logo and get "Recognized" as a "Sooner ADB Device", but in ADB dont get Recognized, With ANY of the ADB Drivers, ADB Composite, ADB Interface etc.! So i Dont Know What to Do Now.! Looks Like the Bootloader is Blocked or Something.!

Wasn't sure where to post this, but as I have a s3 and it IS a question...

I was curious if there was a way to make hangouts auto enable mobile data to retrieve MMS. I usually use Textra and it has an option to auto enable data to retrieve MMS. As I usually have data off, this was great because it'll turn on, DL the MMS, and then turn off data.

I've been looking at hangouts and wanted to try it, but I can't seem to find if this can do that or not. Failing to see options I also tried to just send a MMS with data off. It didn't turn data on and it failed to send (of course).

Is there a way to do this? or will I just be stuck using third party messaging apps to do this for me?

Known CWM recovery, greatly improved with touch ui and many useful features by Phil3759.

Original Xperia T thread

Compatible with Rom Manager (reboot recovery, backup, install,...)

As the title says, this recovery has some needed modifications included, so you can use it with unmodified stock kernel (locked bootloader).

Main LB script with logging was created by cray_Doze.

My modifications are firstly based on recovery from davidmarco, then I found big help and better (PhilZ) recovery in [NUT]´s thread and that it´s better to unmount selinux fs so it cannot be redefined and checking files is probably stopped (?) in recovery, so I´ve had to use init binary that does not need selinux.

Installation:

1. Root your device

2. Install modified Flash Gordon app (no busybox installation needed)

3. Download this recovery to SDcard

4. Launch the app and allow it root access

5. Tap "select zip", find the zip, "flash now"

6.

Don´t try to reboot with the app

, but do regular reboot in power menu

Upgrading from 4.1 with CWM for LB to stock 4.3:

1. Download stock 4.3 rom zip to SDcard

2. Download this recovery to SDcard

3. Reboot to 4.1 CWM and flash 4.3 rom

4. Flash this recovery (optionally flash SU too)

5. Power off the device

6. Flash 4.3 ftf - tick all wipes, and

exclude system from installation

or you will do it all again from scratch :P

Or if you already have some recovery on 4.3, just flash this in recovery.

Caution:

Don´t try to flash rom zip made in the recovery. It is too big. It goes first to tmpfs, which has only around 433000kB.

System will be formated, but then can´t be extracted from zip and copied to /system. No /system = you will do it all again from scratch :P

Changelog:

v1.7

- proximity sensor fix (with big help of steveboss and his V)

- reboot recovery working from all applications (quick settings, rom manager, recovery, etc.)(tested on T)

Download:

T4.3_PhilZCWM_6.0.4.7_LB_v1.7.zip

Thanks DaRk-LorD and steveboss for testing. If anything won´t work, PM them. :D ... Joke ;)

In last caution : this mean we cant use backup and restore feature in recovery? And could you provide update_su?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] norti:
You can use backup and restore, this is a working version, just don't flash an update.zip made with the recovery (there is an option for creating that). For SuperSU CWM flashable zip look at the download section of the original SuperSU topic ;)

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Oohhlala:
mate, plz tell me more clear about step 6 in upgrade from 4.1 instalation method.

after flash 4.3 flashable rom zip then use flashtool to flash stock rom 4.3 ftf or just kernel and in the Exclude box of flashtool, i must tick all but except System ?, sorry i'm newbie
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peetr_:
Keep the previously installed system with recovery in your phone.

So only don't tick system (exclude system from ftf flashing). Everything else leave ticked. It's also better to wipe data between 4.1 and 4.3.

and confirmed it works

both externel and internal storage can be used to flash

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peetr_:
I found one bug (your mac address and other things are not restored after factory reset). I have it already fixed. I will upload fixed version today or tomorrow. There should be no need to do factory reset again, after installation of the fix.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peetr_:
First post updated with fixed import from TA after factory reset - 1.4 version.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] daniel090588:
I think theres a confusion here, in flashtool you tick to wipe data, appslog and cache but below that is the list of things to exclude from flashing so if you tick on it you will not flash that part of the rom so if you tick everything here but dont tick system, everything will be excluded but system won´t son the only thing you are flashing is the system folder and so thers no kernel you´ll have a bootloop
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peetr_:
Oh, that looks like the reason. Sorry. I will edit the OP.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Oohhlala:
Yeah, i think so, exclude kernel made my device stuck in logo.could you tell me how you get root for LB. I tries some way but none if all successful
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] norti:
Flash back a 4.1.2 rom with Flashtool, root it, put a cwm on it and continue with 'Upgrading from 4.1 with CWM for LB to stock 4.3' section of the first post ;) You can find everything in the All in One post in the Q&A section of this forum.

I have a nexus 5 with latest nightly CM.

I just received a slimport adapter, and when using it with working hdmi cable(i use the hdmi cable on my computer without an issue), whenever I turn the phone horizontal and the display turns horizontal, i start getting video and audio corruption, and large portions of grey lines on the output, but not the phone display.

It works fine vertical.

Any ideas? Is the adapter corrupted? I literally can rotate the phone back to vertical and it works fine.

I have my Gio almost 2 years. But it's not too long and my touch buttons aren't working well. Sometimes the menu and return button seems pressed and I am unable to unlock my Gio.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pianoman1645:
Hi,

this is my first post and I'm very sorry if it's a repeat, but I've searched all over and cannot seem to find anyone with my issue (which I find very hard to believe).

I'm trying to install a custom recovery (which I've done successfully before) using Odin. trying to use Philz Touch, cause it looks awesome, but now, I'm just trying to get anything to work.

The issue is I CANNOT format my /data partition. every time I try, it crashes. I have NO idea why. it can format anything else, I can mount/unmount /data, I just can't format it. cwm freezes and quickly crashes.

The particularly annoying thing is that this happened the last time I installed CWM too, but updating to the most recent version solved that. This time, I'm trying for the most recent version right away and nothing's happening. ALSO, today, I installed PhilzTouch and it WORKED!! so I installed my custom rom (Carbon) and went to reboot. This got stuck at the boot screen, and never loaded, so I booted back into recovery and whadayaknow, I can no longer format /data.......... I have no idea what is going on. I've followed all the instructions to the letter.

I'm on d2spr (sprint galaxy s3), trying to install cwm 6.0.4.5 (or philz 6.15.4) so that I can install CarbonROM v1.8 (which I also cannot get to work. I've happily been on SlimBEAN and then SlimKat for a while and wanted to try Carbon for the extra features).

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. (also, I can't restore a backup because that includes writing to /data, which I can't do. I can get halfway through the backup so that I end up with a clean slimKat (which I don't really want, cause I have a lot of data), but that's it. CWM reboots the second it tries to write /data.

EDIT: This issue happens when I try to flash CarbonRom, but goes away if I flash something like CM or SlimBean. Once one of those roms is installed AND BOOTED, I can touch /data again, but once I try to get CarbonRom running, I can't. So it seems it's an issue with CarbonROM specifically. Any advice?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pianoman1645:
Update: It's only Carbon Rom

Hey, so apparently, I can flash literally every other ROM I've tried (cyanogen, slimbean, slimkat, beanstalk) and they all work fine, but when I flash Carbon (the release version, v1.8), I get to the "Samsung Galaxy S3" screen with the "C" logo and it hangs indefinitely. When I give up and pull the battery, the /data partition is untouchable like before, but that now seems like a symptom, not the problem, because it only happens with Carbon and it's fixed by flashing another rom and letting it boot. And yes, I've given it quite a long time to boot, but it never even gets to a legitimate boot screen (with some sort of moving animation). It just freezes and and never unfreezes.

Anyone, any help would be really appreciated. It's VERY frustrating....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr. Struck:
Just FYI, that version of Carbon is really old, you will probably want something more current like their KitKat builds or at least the 4.3.1 builds from November. Sounds like you are probably flashing 4.4 GApps, which would be a mismatch for the version of the ROM you are flashing, which is why things are hanging for you. Also, if you are using Philz Touch (highly recommended!), then the only wipe you need is "Clean to Install New ROM" and nothing more.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pianoman1645:
Thanks for the reply!

Actually, I want flashing any gapps at all specifically so that it didn't conflict. Should have mentioned that.

Also, I was under the impression that 1.8 was a 4,3 build, but if that's not true, I'd certainly want a later build. However, I'm looking for a stable room with lots of features, so I was only looking at release builds.... And 1.8 is the only release build for d2spr. Any suggestions on which later build is the most complete/stable?

And yes, I'm using philz touch. Latest version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr. Struck:
So Carbon never released a stable version of 4.3, just nightlies. It is hard to tell from how they restructured their downloads page, however, it is one of those things you would only know from following their progress since last fall. As far as stable, that is almost subjective, a lot of the newest nightlies are really good. I would recommend one of the Snapshots from CM11 or any Carbon nightly from 2/18 or earlier (2/4 was really nice) if you want something that should work well. As always, YMMV.

IF ANY ONE IS INTERESTED I HAVE THE OPEN SOURCE FILE FOR THE LENOVO S650 MINI VIBE X , I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF COMPILING ROMS FROM SOURCE BUT IF SOMEONE WANTS TO TRY I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY EFFORTS.

MOSTLY MULTI LANGUAGE IS NEEDED WITH FULL RTL SUPPORT IF IT CAN BE DONE AND AS CLOSE TO AOSP AS POSSIBLE.

CURRENTLY ONLY CHINESE AND RUSSIAN ROMS AVAILABLE WITH 1 OF THE CHINESE BEING MULTI LANGUAGE BUT TOO MUCH STILL IN CHINESE.

I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS NEEDED BUT LET ME KNOW IF CURRENT ROMS ARE NEEDED OR LENOVO SOFTWARE, PC DRIVERS ETC

JUST SCROLL DOWN TO DOWNLOADS IN THIS PAGE FOR SOURCE FILE

http://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/s650_smartphone

WE ALL KNOW THAT THE CHINESE ARE PUMPING OUT PHONES FASTER THAN ANYONE AND ARE USING ANDROID FREELY TO MAKE THE ROMS BUT NOT SO GOOD AT GIVING BACK TO THE DEVELOPERS TO MAKE CUSTOM ROMS,

SO THIS REALLY IS MORE OF AN APPEAL, GIVEN THAT LENOVO HAVE POSTED THE SOURCE CODE, SHOWS THEY ARE OPEN TO DEVELOPMENT ON THEIR PHONES, ALSO GIVEN THEY ARE NOW A GOOGLE / MOTOROLA COMPANY AND DESERVE THE ATTENTION, EVEN IF IT IS THE ONLY MEDIATEK BRAND THAT GETS BACKING.!!!!

THEY MAY NOT BE FLAGSHIP DEVICES AND MEDIATEK IS VIEWED AS ' CHEAP ' BUT LENOVO, DESPITE THE BUDGET END APPEAL, ARE PRODUCING DEVICES CAPABLE OF BEATING ALL OF THE BIG BRANDS IN MOST PERFORMANCE RELATED TESTS !
