How can a senior mod be so reckless?

And since when is "google" a higher source than the Cornell law publications? Google is what created the mess in the first place. Someone googled, read a proposed law that was long past dead, and interpreted it as law.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aether Skyborn:
Reposting this here…

Hi, all!

My Samsung Galaxy Ace (S5830) running under a custom ROM The Ultimatum (I've been using this custom firmware for a few weeks now, with no real problems up until now), is bootlooping with no apparent reason. On a rare occasion, most apps on the phone stopped responding and would crash upon opening, and would require a restart before they worked again. Well this happened to me a few hours ago, so I decided to reboot my phone. After coming back to check my phone, I had found it was still booting. This has gone on for several hours now, and I've tried turning it on and off, removing batteries and everything. It's stuck in bootloop. I found this was odd, as I have had no dramas with the firmware I've been using. I have not made ANY recent changes to the phone whatsoever, so I can hardly believe it would be my fault.

Now, my question is; how do I fix this without wiping all data and installing a clean ROM? I have a lot of stuff in the internal storage I can't afford to lose, and it's really important to me. A full wipe of all data would not be ideal. I can access recovery mode.

I have tried a suggestion a user here made and made a nandroid backup, did a full wipe, reinstalled the ROM (which allowed me to get out of the bootloop) and then restored the data from the backup (which stuck me back in a bootloop). Still no idea and I really don't want to lose this data. If it's too much effort to fix the loop, is it possible to extract the data from the backups on a PC and manage to restore it to a clean wipe?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aether Skyborn:
Fixed my problem by doing a clean installation, and using Titanium Backup to extract the data from my nandroid backup. It was quite a simple solution, really. No idea why no one seemed to suggest it, though.

Oh well, my problem is solved. :)

[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
The stock 4.3 ROM won't update your firmware (hboot, radio and all the other stuff). You can update that manually even without S-OFF, I've written the instructions multiple times in this forum.

If you install the 4.3 stock ROM and then some other 4.3 ROM, you will accomplish exactly the same thing as if you simply installed the other 4.3 ROM straight away. In other words, installing the 4.3 stock ROM doesn't make any difference at all if you intend to install something else anyway.
[HTC Butterfly S] mngeow:
ahh I get it. I can't seem to be able to find those instructions that you've posted , tried checking your profile but couldn't find anything.

I don't see any reason why it shouldn't, but just to be on the safe side, always take a nandroid backup before installing anything. If it does not run, try to install the latest firmware as explained in the post linked above and try again.

Simple question - I just wanted to know if I can download the framework onto my storage card or if I have to download it to the device. The 20mb size of the file really makes me think twice before doing it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] risidoro:
The .Net Compact framework 2.0 (i guess this is the one you're installing since 1.1 is included in the rom) cannot be installed in your sd card (actually you can install it on your sd but after the first run, the program will be moved to main storage).

Two good news:

- CF 2.0 won't take 20mb of your storage, 'only' 5.4mb (even if the exe is 20mb)

- it is possible to manually relocate the framework to your sd card, follow this guide: http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=757&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1#more757

PS: since you're using a wm5.0 device why would you like relocating the framework?

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] rasseru16:
Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 I9305 LTE which is originally from Three UK, but I have tried a couple of stock roms, one of which was unbranded from Germany and another one which is the EE UK one, all of these on Android 4.3.

Now my phone is able to pick up a 2G or 3G signal (be it 3G/H/H+ whatever) but it will not pick up a 4G LTE signal even though the same EE4G sim card I have will work perfectly fine with signal in my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 LTE?

What am i doing wrong or is there any way to enable the phone to actually use 4G? (I have made sure the network mode is set to include 4G as "Auto Mode")

Has anyone here found any software to use non-wav files as notifications? I have this really funny mp3 file that I want to use as my SMS notification sound but even when I transcoded the file to 11kHz or 22kHz mono wav and I even tried renaming it and overwriting the Alarm2.wav file in the Windows folder and it still refused to play. It shows up in the list of selectable files but it won't play. Does anyone know of any compact and low price (preferably free) software to do this? Thank you ^_^

By the way, I've tried out the trial version of phoneAlarm, it works but it seems to do a bit more than what I need it to do. If I can't find something smaller though I may end up buying this program.

I use windows sound recorder and save as PCM 22.050 kHz, 8 Bit, Mono or PCM 11.025 kHz, 8 Bit, Mono and it works on WindowsMobile. You don't have to overwrite the built in sounds of WM [I do not think it is possible anyway as they are in ROM] just copy your WAV to \Windows they should work if you have encoded it correctly.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x2110311x:
Hi, I've been having some problems with my Xperia Play getting stuck in a boot loop after flashing anything, or restoring a backup in CWM. This includes mods, like Adrenoboost, and the NXT Lockscreen, to themes. I have the Xperia Play R800x with an unlocked bootloader (via unlock code from Sony) and I'm using stock 2.3.3 Gingerbread, with the stock Kernel. I boot CWM by hotBooting LuPuS with Fastboot. I'm not really sure what to do because I really want to install these mods, and because restoring my nandroid backups also gets it stuck in a bootloop, I have to reflash the stock .ftf with FlashTool and reroot it every time.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteWashed:
Hi. Not all mods are 100% compatible with stock ROM so you should use a custom one. Many custom ROMs are better than the stock one.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x2110311x:
My only problem is, when I flash other ROMs they don't work, unless I also flash a custom Kernel. Anytime I flash a custom kernel, WiFi never connects, even if I flash the WiFi modules. It gets stuck at Obtaining IP Address, then stops.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteWashed:
There's are some Gingerbread based roms that work also with the stock kernel and won't give you any problem with wifi (personal experience).

Try the gbx_play v3-rebuild here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1897634

Or the Gin2kitkat here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1631144

Try to flash one of these and let us know :)

Remember that before you flash a ROM you MUST make a wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe Dalvik Cache (in advanced options).
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x2110311x:
I do wipe the data and cache. I know how to install ROMs, I've done it with TWRP on my Kindle Fire, but I get stuck in a boot loop every time. I'll try these ROMs and see how they go.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x2110311x:
I did a Factory Reset on CWM, then flashed Gin2KitKat, and wiped the cache and dalvik cache and it's stuck on the Android boot animation. It's been sitting there for like 10 minutes or so now. Flashtool does recognize it though.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x2110311x:
It worked fine as soon as I hotBooted it with LuPus. I'm gonna try installing the other ROM I wanted and hotBooting LuPus
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteWashed:
Strange, I have the opposite problem: lupus doesn't boot any ROM for me, excepting ICs ones.

In fact, to install a GB ROM I always have to flash first the stock rom and fw, and then flash the ROM with a custom recovery. Anyway by "hot booting" you mean custom recovery right?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x2110311x:
No, what I'm doing is using Fastboot to boot the phone with the kernel, without flashing it, to test it out. As soon as you shut the phone off, and turn it back on, it boots with whatever kernel is flashed on it
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteWashed:
That's what I mean with custom recovery :laugh: (don't confuse with custom kernel).
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x2110311x:
When I had stock kernel I would boot LuPuS just for CWM, but I'll hotboot kernels to see how well they run
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkharbinger81:
So here's what you need to do, since you want stock and and fastbootalot for recoveries y don't you download xperia play clockwork mod app? It's version 4 or something like that don't use xparts it don't work with our Verizon plays since you have root this will install recovery for you to flash Roms mods etc

I'll edit later with a link to the thread that has the clockwork mod app install that MAKE A NANDROID before you flash anything it helps worse case you hotboot lupus to restore your nandroid you have then reboot and guess what stock 2.3.3 Rom and kernel
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x2110311x:
No I got everything to work fine. I have LuPuS flashed on, and I'm using the xElite Gamer ROM with no problem.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Melamunna:
This really would have been good to start back in November or December, but I'm sure you can get a lot of votes. I'll vote if I can see some proof of where they've said this. Not that I am calling you a liar; I just have only seen them respond with "no plans at this time."
[Nexus 5 Accessories] zephiK:
There isn't any point, Otterbox hates Nexus phone devices. They never ever make any Nexus phone cases, their last one was the Galaxy Nexus.

Why beg a company to make a case for your phone if they don't want to make a phone case for a flagship Google device? Its obvious that they don't take the Nexus brand very serious. If they don't want to make a case, take your business elsewhere to another company.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dieselbuddeh:
They may hate them but there IS NO OTHER case with otterbox quality. Acase nor ballistic or any other have sufficed.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] zephiK:
If a Otterbox case is that important to you then maybe you should re consider on what phone to get based on what cases Otterbox produces for.

There are actually a good number of cases that can serve as alternatives and they actually make a case for a phone without begging them to do so. At this rate, if you want a Otterbox that much you might as well send Otterbox a resume for their marketing department because thats exactly what they're making you do by offering them to get 10K petitions. The phone has been out over 3 months and they don't have ANY plans to make a case for this phone. It doesn't take many resources to set up a prototype for the Nexus 5. Its more or less molding it to fit the size. I'm not being rough with you but thats just the truth.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] t1.8matt:
I can definitely say that if you're looking for an Otterbox quality case, go with the Trident. An Otterbox is not going to protect more than that and you're probably going to pay more if they end up making one. The Slim Armor is also very good if you don't want to go with too thick of a case. I have both but stick with the Slim Armor as it will protect it from most drops and bumps. And since I'm not engaging in urban warfare or playing baseball with my phone as the ball I don't feel I need to have such a bulky case to protect my phone. So to the OP, believe me, you're better off not petitioning Otterbox and just going with a case that is readily available. For $34.95 through Trident AND you get multiple colors to choose from, you can't beat that. Otterbox will be at least $40-$45 and all you get is black.

Edit: And Otterbox saying they'll consider it doesn't give you a guarantee that they will, even if you get 30,000 signatures. It's all in what it will cost them in development, tooling up to manufacture it, and if there is enough of a demand that it makes it worth it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dieselbuddeh:
None of the cases listed have a belt clip. Can you suggest one with a belt clip and good quality.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] t1.8matt:
If you're looking for one with a beltclip, I would buy the Zerolemon case when it comes back in stock. Even if you don't use the battery pack that comes with it, it's a rugged case with a belt clip. Check out the review on it in this forum a couple threads down and look at the pictures. For $39, it's a great deal.
