Do i need titanium back still even after i made a nandroid back up?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Not really, but depends on what you plan on doing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
Titanium backup is to back up apps and data or settings that you like. I wouldn't recommend restoring a backup to a different ROM. For example let's say I'm on wicked right now and I made a backup with titanium backup. It wouldn't be wise to move to darthstalker and restore it. It will most likely conflict with other Roms. As long as you keep track of what ROM the backup goes to you should be fine.

OK cool that's good to know thanks a bunch
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brixie11:
Hi all.

I have a huge problem with my S2. When I type on my keyboard *#06# i get IMEI null/null. Ive tried everything mentioned here and nothing works. I don't know if i made a backup or not. Some app made a backup and i tried to restore and it didnt work. I rooted the phone and tried several custom roms and it doesnt work.

What can I do?

Regards, Brix
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brixie11:
Edit: I've tried to install original stock rom without success
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Any good local mobile repair shop should be able to fix this (re-write the IMEI to the device) for you fairly cheaply (for example, I can get it done for around AUD$30). A Samsung service centre can also do it, but will charge you a lot more.

If you've tried to restore a backup & failed for whatever reason, and flashing stock roms didn't work (it can if it was a temporary thing, which it is sometimes), you really don't have any other option apart from buying the equipment repair shops/Samsung use to do the repair mentioned above. Which is obviously more expensive than paying someone who already has the equipment to do it, you need to learn how to use the equipment without turning your phone into a paperweight permanently (or at least unfixable without a motherboard change), and you'll probably never use it again.

Best option is the first one (local mobile repair shop/non Samsung service centre) if you want it fixed easily, quickly, and guaranteed (assuming there's nothing hardware-wise wrong with the phone).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brixie11:
Hi Mistah.

Thanks for the advice. I will take my phone to thr repair shop. I think that too that its not SW fixable.

Regards, Brix
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
I doubt it is fixable by you, I mean, you can try the stuff in some of the threads on here (various 'guides' around the place), but given what you've already tried/said, they're unlikely to work. And you could spend days trying stuff for no result, be without a working phone for that time, and still end up having to get it repaired. And given how cheap (relatively speaking) it is normally, my choice every time is to get it done sooner rather than later, for those reasons.

Has the OTA actually gone out yet or is it still just soak testers?
[Moto X Q&A] StATicxTW0T:
Pretty sure it's still just soak (or going out very very slowly) but you can always sideload the update, theres a thread in general with multiple links to it in the OP
[Moto X Q&A] snoking:
Just wait. I got it yesterday, not that big of a deal. Everything is basically the same. I am stock and non soak tester. I am register on Motorola Connect so I guess they just rolled it to me as part of the early testing. WiFi would not turn on until I rebooted it again myself. I did get 5 hours and 36 minutes screen time from around 85 percent down to 15 percent yesterday after getting OTA.
[Moto X Q&A] FinalBabality:

It's actually out, that soak is over, it's just a gradual rollout to everyone else now. Can't link to it, but find David Schuster from Motorola on Google Plus.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meepm33p:
Hello,

I appreciate there are a huge number of similar questions on this forum, but I have read a lot of them and cannot find a solution to the problem I have with my wife's Nexus 4. Hoping someone will be able to help...

Standard Nexus 4 8GB, running 4.3 OTA on Vodafone UK. Not rooted, unlocked, hacked or anything.

Yesterday it failed to make calls or pick up a network, so my wife shut it down and restarted it; since then it would not get past the X boot logo.

Tried the factory reset / cache wipe steps, many times to no avail.

Let the battery run down overnight, no change this morning.

Sideloaded the OTA from 4.3. to 4.4, accepted the code but would not boot, initially stuck at "Starting Apps" after optimising apps, then after reset stuck at 4.4 Circles logo.

Installed 4.4.2 via fastboot, after unlocked the bootloader, again installed OK but would not boot, as above.

Re-installed 4.3 via fastboot, as above, will not boot.

Now currently gone back to 4.4.2 factory image, still will not boot - sits on the circles boot logo for ever.

I am sure I have tried several different iterations to the above, the furthest I have got it "Starting Apps" screen, most common is X or Circles.

Anything else I can try before giving up?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NABENDU1:
Hmm heard of such issues in the past where nexus wont boot with 4.3 or 4.4 !! I dont know the exact reason of the problem but what I do know is a solution for the same !!

Download the Factory Image for 4.2 Jelly Bean and fastboot the same !! Mostly youll get back your phone in the working state albeit without being able to upgrade to 4.3 or 4.4 !! Have a good day ahead !! :good:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meepm33p:
Hi,

Thanks for the reply - I have just reloaded 4.2.2 from scratch and it is working. I then tried the OTA 4.3 upgrade and it failed, as before "starting apps" for ever, reset never boots.

Returning to 4.2.2 worked again.

What is strange is that this handset worked with 4.3 for 3 or 4 weeks before the restart yesterday...

I also tried 4.3 with .48 radio but that still failed to boot.

Hopefully someone else has a clever idea or some information around how/why this occurs, as beyond there being an underlying hardware fault (all sensors seem with androsensor) it is not logical.

Thanks.

Hey everyone

I have a Qtek 9000 with the new rom installed.

Is they a way that you can get the pda to make a sound when a bluetooth connection or disconection is made.

Example when you connect a bluetooth headset a bluetooth GPS etc etc.

Please advice.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alrosh7:
I have rooted my S4 Mini so I could move apps into the SD Card and remove bloatware.

Samsung and my Operator have just put so much bloatware that is impossible to remove them without flashing a Custom ROM.

Now I am still rooted, and I still have the stock recovery and ROM. My questions are:

1) Which ROM is more stable/aosp? Cyanogenmod (10.2 ?) or SlimKaT ROM?

2) Can I install a custom ROM withthe stock Recovery? Is it recommended?

3) Any guides available that will help me do it, (given that I am ALREADY rooted and with stock rom?)

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TNCS:
1. This a a very subjective matter that get asked over and over again. You got to have to try it for yourself. Slimrom is by far, the only ROM with the least pre-installed app.

2) You can't install a custom ROM with stock recovery.

3) Since you didn't mention which method you use to ROOT (as few rooting method will install CWM for you), the first thing you need to do if to check if you have custom recovery. Some root method such as SafeRoot don't allow this operation (again you need to clarify). The easiest way is to install CWM is via ROM Manager from the Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager which the app will install CWM for you. Note that this will trigger Knox if you phone is protected by it.

first of all please specify ur model .. we have here 3 types .. lte model i9195 , dual sim model which i have i9192 :p and the single sim i9190

..thing is if you have an i9192 we dont have any aosp/cm/aokp for them as these roms require single sim and radio drivers doesnt get ported easily

... secondly u MUST CHECK if u have a knox bootloader or not ... if u dont know knox .. its just a flag in download mode "0x0" if u attempt to flash any bootloader in the phone throught odin even .. it turns "0x1" and IT CANNOT BE 0X0 AGAIN !! ..this voids the warrenty if u have of if its a job's phone u will face problems ...if u dont have "knox void warrenty" sentence in the download mode u are lucky and BE CAREFUL of flashing bootloaders .. in this case avoid flashing any new stock firmwares because they have knox .. remove knox from a guide here and then flash :highfive: ... thirdly as far as i know cm/aosp based roms here are stable but as usual they are not that good in camera :rolleyes: and they are only avilable for i9190/i9195 ... u cant install a custom rom from stock recovery ..stock recovey flashes ONLY signed samsung zips "upgrade packages"

... 4th search by yourself :) xda is full of guides and here in s4 mini forum we have almost all needed guides :highfive: ... sorry for writing alot but when u asked about installing a custom rom with stock recovery is a "newbie" question so i thought to tell u everything :cool:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alrosh7:
Thank for the helps guys.

First of all ROM Manager does not support my phone :( . I says that it can not find a suitable Recovery to install.

My model is i9195.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alrosh7:
Also, I found this guide http://www.s4miniarchive.com/2013/08/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s4-mini-gt.html

but I do not want to install the custom kernel. Will it be ok to skip the first step and just flash the Recovery?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TNCS:
Hmm, odd. I thought I did my CWM by ROM Manager. Any case just do this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2364980

Do step 2-6 and you will have CWM.

PS. I'm not sure why you worry about the custom kernel, if you going to use custom ROM, it will have a custom kernel.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alrosh7:
The reason is that I want to avoid using a custom kernel is because I read that some of them are 'insecure'.

Anyway, I will give it a try (steps 2-6) and see if it works.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] steve_the_diver:
My Sony Xperia T has worked perfectly since new, however since accepting the OTA Android update to 4.3 my Bluetooth doesn't work properly in my car now (used to work perfectly).. I can still make and receive calls, and get audio through the car audio, if I initiate the call (or answer the call) directly using the phone screen rather than the car controls, but if I try to make a call (or answer a call) using the car controls, it doesn't work. I have already tried deleting and re "pairing" the devices etc, and after reading several posts it would appear that there are bugs with the 4.3 update..

This is the first time that I have experienced any issues with my phone so I'm a bit new to this.. Is this something that might be resolved quickly, I assume that Sony are aware of these issues already, and are working on an update to fix them?? Or is it something that I can fix myself?

:confused:

Credit to [MENTION=3652237]roustabout[/MENTION] for providing [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] with the stock recovery. And to [MENTION=2894293]blulite[/MENTION] for monitoring the CF thread for the release of CF Auto-Root.

NOTE #1: This procedure WILL trip the Knox flag.

NOTE #2: It is advisable that you do not connect your Tab Pro 8.4 to your computer until reaching Step 7.

STEP 1

Download Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones (Windows Only):

Softpedia

Samsung's Website (you'll have to search a generic device, like Galaxy S4, in order to find the driver)

OR

Install Kies:

http://content.samsung.com/us/contents/aboutn/kiesIntro.do

STEP 2

Tab 8.4 Download CF Auto-Root (8.4)

Tab 10.1 Download CF Auto-Root (10.1)

STEP 3

Extract files to a folder on your desktop, open newly created folder, run Odin.

STEP 4

In Odin, for the Tab 8.4, choose "PDA" and select the file "CF-Auto-Root-mondrianwifi-mondrianwifixx-smt320.tar.md5" (included in the CF Auto-Root zip)

For the Tab 10.1, choose "PDA" and select the file "CF-Auto-Root-picassowifi-picassowifixx-smt520.tar.md5" (included in the CF Auto-Root zip)

STEP 5

Power off your Tab.

STEP 6

On your Tab, hold the Power and Volume Down buttons until you see a "Warning!!" screen with a large yellow triangle at the bottom. Press Volume Up to continue.

STEP 7

Connect your Tab to your computer using the supplied USB cable.

Your computer should now automatically install the appropriate drivers for use in the Tab's "Download Mode".

STEP 8

In Odin, verify that your Tab is connected to a COM port (yellow box with text "COM x" where "x" is a number)

STEP 9

In Odin, press "Start"

FINISHING UP

Upon a successful flash, Odin will display "PASS" and your Tab will reboot.

You can expect to have to disable Knox, and SuperUser should prompt you to do this.

Be sure to thank @Chainfire; he's an amazing contributor to all that is Android.
