the backup contains /data and /system and /recovery (sometimes)

your sdcard is not backed up or restored
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angel0id:
I just saw that it should contain an "system.img" file and I thought maybe I can flash that using fastboot to get it back working.

So I pulled my backup on my PC using adb in fastboot, and everything it contains is this:

cache.ext4.tar (0 kb)

recovery.log (168 kb)

cache.ext4.tar.a (3.1 mb)

data.ext4.tar.c (614 mb)

nandroid.md5 (1 kb)

I I'll suggest to backup your device, wipe system, install the same ROM you were on before, then restore only data partition from the backup you just took. Wipe cache. Reboot

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaww:
I had been using System Tuner Pro when not using KT kennels, but is became outdated and was disconnected. It was rolled into a package of tools, but like Pro - it will not work with setting OC, so looking for other alternatives. When I use KT, its tweaker app is excellent - but does not always play well with other kernels.

There are a few CPU tools with a bunch of phoney 5 star ratings which should be avoided, as real reviewer comments indicate major issues. So are there any good ones that people here are using and can vouch for?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
Andromizer?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaww:
Thanks - will give it a look. I again see many phony 5 star ratings (they are the ones with no comments), but some real positive ones as well as some bricks. Will stay away from all but the most basic settings (OC/UV, etc) in order to steer clear of issues that some have had problems with.

Update on Andromizer. So far, basic OC settings will not stick. Also, no profiles like max frequency on screen off, while on call, etc. Thought its Pro version might be needed to stick them, but not the case - took a refund on it.

Any more suggestions anyone ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pfeffernuss:
You could try SetCPU, TricksterMod, etc. :D
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaww:
I had tried SetCPU before System Tuner and it had issues also (a bit dated with respect to working with multicore). Just tried it and OC also does not stick. Oh well.

Again - looking for suggestions from posters on this device that are having good results.

[Moto X Q&A] cindyellis4:
My Moto X should be here tomorrow. I ordered the unlocked T-Mobile GSM one. I want to use it with Straight Talk. After doing some online research, I've found that in order to do this, I need to:

-buy a ST T-Mobile sim

-cut it down to a nano sim

-activate it

-insert it into my Moto X

-change the APN settings

and I should be good to go. Is there anything that is incorrect here or anything that I'm missing?? I can't seem to find a clear cut, step by step guide on setting up a T-Mobile Moto X with Straight Talk. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Moto X Q&A] alpha-niner64:
You set up Straight Talk like anything else that involves switching around APN values. The only thing thing I would watch out for is the actual cutting-down of your SIM card. You have to make sure that all the pads are lined up properly even more with Micro-SIM: otherwise you'll just get a Red-Triangle warning. Personal experience.
[Moto X Q&A] cindyellis4:
I actually bought an sim cutter from amazon because I didn't trust my hands enough to do it myself so I'm hoping that won't be an issue! :o
[Moto X Q&A] chrstndsgnr:
Been using T-Mobile moto x on straight talk using at&t style sim card for two months now with zero issues. Loving the LTE speeds.

[Moto X Q&A] cindyellis4:
So should I have gotten the AT&T style sim instead?
[Moto X Q&A] chrstndsgnr:
You can use either since it's an unlocked phone. It just happens that T-Mobile doesn't exist where I live, so I'm forced to use at&t or one of their mvno's
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billiam864:
Woke up today after using my phone to set an alarm last night...and my phone was shutdown (plugged in).

I tried starting it up, and the phone wouldn't boot past the white HTC startup screen. Since then I've tried booting up several times, including using volume down button, and then clicking fastboot, but the screen just goes black and nothing happens. Effectively I'm stuck at the start-up screen.

My phone is only a couple months old, and is not rooted. Also since I have not attempted anything fancy, I have not yet backed up any of my data, photos, etc. The only advice I've had so far is to do a factory reset, but this would erase important videos, which I really don't want to loose.

Does anyone have suggestions on things to try to either somehow backup my data before a reset, or to fix this issue?

Thanks,

Bill

Maybe you should try to erase cache and reboot?

fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billiam864:
I am noob at this. my phone is unrooted, so my bootloader is locked. How do I run the erase cache command as you suggested? I've spent sometime looking for a forum telling me how, but have not found anyting... presumably i need software for my pc and connect the phone to it, or should there be some menu on the phone i can get to, to type in the command?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
you will need to have fastboot/adb tools installed on your computer ----> HERE

and you'll need latest HTC drivers installed. This can be done by installing HTC sync software you can find HERE

start with this, ill update this post with more instructions

reboot phone in bootloader mode (hold down POWER + VOL DWN)

you will have a screen similar to this

select ''FASTBOOT'' (use volume up/down to navigate and power button to select)

then connect phone to computer (better to use a usb port at the back of your computer and don't use any usb hub)

The screen should now display ''FASTBOOT USB''' and the phone should be recognized by your computer.

Now open adb/fastboot tool by clicking on ''Minimal ADB and Fastboot'' icon

it will open a cmd prompt like this:

type these cmds:

fastboot erase cache [COLOR="Red"]<------- press ''enter''[/COLOR]
fastboot reboot [COLOR="red"]<------- press ''enter''[/COLOR]

now the phone will reboot

check if the phone is now booting properly.

btw no need to unlock the bootloader and root your phone atm

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
yes as [MENTION=3525160]SaHiLzZ[/MENTION] said, factory reset won't wipe the internal sdcard partition where your photo and video are stored. It will wipe /data partition where your users settings and app are stored. so you should not lost your media files.

The other options will require unlocking bootloader which will void your warranty. So if your phone is still under warranty better to get it repaired or replaced instead.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
Also unlocking bootloader at HTCDEV will wipe the phone totally / sdcard and all
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billiam864:
I hope you all are correct. I spoke with HTC about sending in my phone for repair, and they said that since HTC One phones don't have an external or removal SD card...just internal memory, that all my photos/files/etc will be lost in the factory reset. Perhaps this discrepancy is in the model or type of HTC One?

Thanks,

NB - I have tried all the (free) unlock tools I can find with no success.

Am I doing something dum?? Do I need to load a new ROM?? Please help...

Duracell Power Mats use a different standard. If you would like to use wireless charging then you will need a charger that is "Qi" compatible. Search Amazon, and there are a few threads (more than a few) on XDA. Some are inexpensive and some aren't. I prefer the Google charger for the N5, but there are many to choose from. Nokia makes some nice ones as well. Go to the accessories subsection, a nice thread there to get you started.

Hello a couple of days back I had my phone charging over night as usual, however at the morning the phone showed the Samsung Galaxy S2 white text as if the phone was about to boot up but it never did.

I have never rooted the phone and it have worked flawless for 2 years.

So I tried to use Odin to flash it with a stock firmware, my phone it not tied to any operator, I have tried 2 different firmwares so far with different versions of Odin and different USB leads with the same result, a ERROR at cache.img, Complete(Write) operation failed.

[Moto X General] Cozume:
This is just my personal opinion, but with the off contract prices being so low, I think you are better off buying the Moto X full retail, using your upgrade to buy an iPhone 5s, and selling the iPhone 5s to recoup the cost of the Moto X. And you can't get a Moto X Dev Ed using an upgrade anyhow and the Verizon Moto Maker Moto X's don't have unlockable bootloaders so this is the cheapest method to get a Verizon Moto X Dev Ed. Takes a bit of effort to do it.

Obviously, you have to work out the taxes for where you live. My sales tax rate is 6% and I get charged that on the subsidized price of the phone and on the upgrade fee.

Right now a subsidized iPhone 5s 16GB is on sale at Best Buy for $150 and if you signed up for the BB reserve gift card, you can get it for $100 + tax. So for me, it would cost $140 after taxes and the upgrade fee. Since the Verizon iPhone 5s is GSM SIM unlocked, you should be able to sell one of those mint/new on swappa for a minimum $550. To be safe, let's say you sell it for $525. After swappa fee, paypal fees and shipping insured/signature required you can net $475. So after you subtract the $140 you paid for the iPhone, your profit is $335.

If you live in California you get taxed on the full retail value of the phone when you use an upgrade so it may or may not be worth it in California; you would have to do the math.

iPhone 5s at Best Buy using reserve gift card, factoring in upgrade fee, current sale price and 6% sales tax = $140

Moto X Dev Ed including 6% sales tax at current sale price = $403

Net from Sale of iPhone 5s assuming sale price of $525 after you pay swappa fee/paypal fees/shipping = $475

$475 - $140 - $403 = -$68.

So you would end up with a Moto X Dev Ed for $68. However, if you score yourself a Motorola Admiral off of ebay for about $25 and do the tradeup program for the $100 gift card you net $75 on that.

Motorola TradeUp

Remember the Motorola TradeUp program requires that the Motorola Admiral have a clean ESN, work and not have a cracked screen. There are lots of bad ESN and cracked screen cell phones on ebay so read the listing when you purchase.

Then $75 - $68 = $7 so if you are willing to do the TradeUp program, too, you end up getting a free Verizon Moto X Dev Ed and a profit of $7!

Caveat - if you use the Motorola Tradeup program you have to select Moto X all other carriers, not Moto X verizon if you want a $100 VISA prepaid card. I did this with a Verizon Dev Ed purchased from Motorola directly and got the confirmation that I am getting the $100 VISA prepaid card.

If you didn't sign up for the BB reserve gc, the Moto X Dev Ed would end up costing you $43, which isn't bad at all. In fact, the current price for a 32GB Moto Maker Moto X using your upgrade is $50 + $30 upgrade fee = $80 + 6% sales tax = $85. So even if you didn't sign up for the Best Buy reserve gift card, if you are willing to sell an iPhone 5s on swappa and get a Motorola Admiral off ebay for $25, you not only save $42 over getting a 32GB Moto Maker Moto X, you get yourself a Dev Ed with an unlockable bootloader (which you can't get using an upgrade anyhow).
