[Ornate TrueSmart] fibroman:
Has anyone successfully gotten to TWRP Recovery to install for their Omate?

I have tried to do it using GooManager, but it says it cant find it.

I have also attempted to do the alternate methods but cant find a scatter file for it ?

Is there any tutorial on this that has worked for anyone?
[Ornate TrueSmart] Dees_Troy:
I installed TWRP on my TrueSmart this morning via adb while booted to Android. Rename the file that you download to twrp.img and then do the following:

adb push twrp.img /sdcard/twrp.img

adb shell dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/recovery

Done.
[Ornate TrueSmart] fibroman:
Thanks for the info. I now have it installed.

But when trying to do a backup it says( Failed )

Updating Partition details...

Kernel does not have support for running this application.
[Ornate TrueSmart] mortis2600:
I was having the same issue. Did exactly what Dees_Troy suggested and it worked like a charm.

Thanks!

Now to wait for roms, because the stock one blows so far.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
Ouch!!! I can always take Operative and instead of a 100MB file make it +600MB file and call it a "ROM" if it will help.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Dees_Troy:
Try running the backup again. If you get an error, adb pull /tmp/recovery.log without rebooting and attach or paste the log to a paste site.
[Ornate TrueSmart] mortis2600:
Sorry, I have a fairly high standard of roms at this point.

Dont want to go too far off topic, but I've had some issues with bluetooth (pairs, doesn't stay connected, thus making the companion app useless), battery life, etc.

I may have to run tasker scripts to emulate some of the things I want it to do with notifications and turning the screen on. Finally, if I install a new launcher, it'd be wonderful if it didn't cover up the notifications bar.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
I quit anyways so no biggie
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
Then.... build.... your.... own?

Be a part of the solution.
[Ornate TrueSmart] mortis2600:
Did you build the stock rom? If so, I meant no offense.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
It was built from broken, crappy Umeox firmware so better battery life, memory management and pretty much every fix or improvement came form me. Like I said I'm done so no offense taken.
[Ornate TrueSmart] mortis2600:
I don't have yours installed. Mine is just running completely stock firmware right now.

And it sucks that you're quitting. Your build looked to be the one thing that might make the OS on this thing worth using.

If I had the expertise to do so, I would be inclined to do so. Sadly, I'll just have to settle for reporting bugs and making feature requests and being happy to have my device at all.
[Ornate TrueSmart] nbarm2:
[SOLVED] backup failed on TWRP

If you are getting 'Unable to create folder' error, then rename the backup name and it should work :good:
[Ornate TrueSmart] fibroman:
That did the trick!!! Renaming the backup. Thanks.

One final question here: I have been using apps like goomanager to reboot into recovery, but how can you enter TWRP straight from turning the watch on.

Is there a key combo that needs to be held when turning the watch on to get right into TWRP? I tried holding down the bottom right key and that did not work.
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
Hold both keys for 10 seconds then toggle to recovery
[Ornate TrueSmart] Dees_Troy:
This, but your battery pretty much has to be fully charged or else it will just flash the Omate logo on the screen for a couple seconds and then shut off.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ny-la97:
So yes I know I'm a noob, but I have SOME know-how on android, I have an Alcatel One Touch S'Pop that my friend gave me, he's tried fixing it but no success, fortunately i've found the software named "OT_4030X_20130507.tar.xz" he downloaded and told me to install onto it however I hae NO idea what to do with it or what program to install it with, the phone only has 2 animation, the first when its charging and the second is the boot screen, it also loads the android system recovery and has the option to install from sd card so if I can load the data somehow, how can I unbrick it this way or any other way?

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DazzyBox:
I think its just a caes of placing the file onto your SD card, going into sys rec, and choose "install from SD". Let me know how you get on as my 4030 wont boot either.....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomraffa:
Use the alcatel update software, is pretty mucho like re-flashing your phone
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] elietx:
Hello,

I had updated my C6802 to 14.2.A.1.136 someday through my Xperia Update Centre(in-built mobile app). But I wanted my mobile rooted. I found this thread(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2630781) which explained how I can root my mobile. I passed up to fifth step under "Coming from stock 14.2.A.1.136 or 14.2.A.0.290 with locked BL" part. But as soon as I realised the links of sixth step are dead I rued myself because of what I did.

Now I have rooted mobile but, first, in it's "About phone" under "Model number" C6833 is written while it's not my actual phone model, second, the mobile is not able to update and remained stuck at 14.1.B.1.532, third, it's not able to repair through Sony PC Companion, fourth, I can't go back to version I want with "Factory data reset".

1. I want my mobile back to what I bought in terms of it's software. I live in Iran if it matters for the firmware or other things.(Official software would be more favourable!), Is it possible?

2. Is it possible to convert these to FTF files?

3. If I could succeed going back to my default factory mobile software, is it possible to first root device and then update to 14.2.A.1.136?

I should thank you in advance, I do thank!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gcg000:
restore the TA backup if you made one this will relock your bootloader and get you the DRM keys back then download the ftf file for your device http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2453921 then use flashtool to flash the stock rom you want !

---------- Post added at 12:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 AM ----------

if you want to root 136 then you should stay with the unlocked bootloader so skip the restoring TA backup part ! after flashing the ftf you can use this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2631866 its short and easy
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
All's not lost

"in it's "About phone" under "Model number" C6833"

Don' worry when you flash the correct firmware it will go back to c6802

" the mobile is not able to update and remained stuck at 14.1.B.1.532"

"it's not able to repair through Sony PC Companion"

"version I want with 'Factory data reset'."

All the same issue:

Once rooted we normally have to flash manually as Sony's software won't update modified firmware.

1: not going to happen unless you un-root etc, but you want a rooted phone yes?

2: No.

3: You are already rooted, and it depends if you have unlocked the BL (or if you want to) on the next steps.

And I have updated the links in the guide to point at the DIR not the file si will work even if [NUT] updates the file again
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] elietx:
Hey mates,

Thanks again for quick useful replies.

I had decided not to have a rooted mobile, the third question was only for my information.

But there are some other questions:

1. If I flash an official ftf and don't root/unblock bootloader, will I be able to update my android through Xperia Update Centre?

2. Is it okay to restore TA which I backed up when I was using a(n) rooted/older Android version? What exactly does the TA Backup do?

blueether, thanks for your answers and Guide Thread.

gcg000, thanks for your answer.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] wright_ac:
Restoring your TA Backup should be fine provided you do it through Flashtool, then if you wipe cache and dalvik then flash a stock ROM all should be well. If you restore back to stock as in Bootloader Locked and NO root then your phone will update through Update Centre and PC Companion as normal. Follow the instructions carefully when restoring your phone too!

Good luck and happy flashing!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
if you used TA backup I would restore the backup with that, search for the guide on restoring you TA, it's around somewhere

I have just bought a TomTom 5 Navigator with GPS (used), problem is when I put the SD card into the XDA the TomTom screen flashes up then disappears and nothing else happens. As I am new to all this can ANYONE help me with instructions on how to install and get this working???
[General Accessories] oink1:
Find the .CAB files on the SD card and install them - then do a soft reset :) Hope this helps...
[General Accessories] Jazajar:
Will give that a try, thanks
[General Accessories] chris_rose:
Hi,

Important! - Before you install.

Be sure to copy the 'TomTom' folder which has the 'CurrentMap.dat'

file to the PocketPC's 'My Documents' folder first. It should be a small folder and CURRENTMAP.DAT is only a couple of hundred bytes long.

Then install the software as normal.

No offence but the copy you have bought is not so much second hand as "hacked"

Hope that's a help

Cheers

Chris

so a friend of mine purchased a verizon moto g from walmart ..in the kitkat dialer when you press on someones picture you should get a message icon, however this is not the case on his phone..it varies and i cant figure out why ..even though on some contacts the icon is not there, if you touch just on the right side of the line where the message icon would normally be..it will open the messaging. but why is the icon there on some and not on others??

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8nitro:
Just picked up my note 3 running 4.3 an hour ago and have not unlocked/rooted/custom recovery it yet, still 100% stock. There is an OTA available and I was wondering if I should take it before rooting?

Thanks in advance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MrWicked1:
You can either, accept the ota and then root(which I never liked accepting a ota cause Im cautious of downloads being corrupt.) Or you can download a odin version of kitkat and flash thru odin then root(which is what I did)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8nitro:
Thank you very much for your answer MrWicked! One more question if I may ... I just came from US Cellular with the Note 2 to Sprint with the Note 3 - we had very little development there compared to here. I have read a ton of topics on here today about Knox, NAB engineering bootloader, Odin ... etc. and I understand that and how to follow instructions, but I see several different ways. I was wondering which method you used or would suggest? All I am trying to accomplish at this point is root, custom recovery, a (close to) stock rom, (hopefully) not trip the Knox trigger, and run titanium backup (which I read there are issues with that I have to fix afterwards).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MrWicked1:
Ok couple things, no matter what root method you chose once you flash a recovery it will trip knox. So that being said you have a couple options......

1. You flash via odin the kitkat update and use the "kingo" root method which I personally have not tried and can't give much input on. It is not supposed to trip knox it leaves you rooted but with your stock recovery. Once you flash a recovery you trip knox. But you are stuck with a stock rooted rom in which you could use titanium backup.

2. You flash the kitkat via odin, and you use Chainfire's method(which is what i did personally) I have always had good luck with Chainfire's root methods. but then it trips knox and you can flash a recovery and flash what ever roms you like. But at this time technically you warranty is voided with Samsung.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rcjunky:
I would wait on kitkat. I have been running it on a stock n3 for about a wk now and I'm not liking it at all. my bluetooth for my car is very buggy, stock email is buggy and I'm getting a 3rd less battery out of it. I would have 70% left at the end of my day now I'm lucky if I have 50%. I would wait for kitkat until they work out the bugs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MrWicked1:
Obviously it varies per phone but what are you running? I had the opposite effect Bluetooth in car is wayyyyy better and battery life is great. But I'm running Sacs v1 KitKat so that might be why we are having different experiences also.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8nitro:
Thanks for the advice on this, may I ask what Rom you are on?

Been reading up on Sacs v1 and it looks like I wouldn't have a problem if I go this route since I am on mj4. It looks like I can follow the instructions completely from rlmiller here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50794223&postcount=20 and do my root and everything in one stop shopping. Also from what I have read once I go to kit kat I can't go back to jelly bean ... I would assume there would be no reason to back up my stock rom after rooting since I can't go back ever.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MrWicked1:
Yep
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8nitro:
I have used TWRP before but mostly CM, I am not familiar with PHILZ at all, Is one better than the other? I really appreciate your time and advice here as I am sure others with the same questions will as well. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MrWicked1:
Personally I love twrp but it doesn't always seem to go as smooth with it. Philz is a modified version of Cm. Philz is rpetty much the go to for least amount of problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8nitro:
I will give it a go then, I thought I read something about "NAB engineering bootloader" with Philz, is this something I need to read up on more or self explanatory once I get into it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MrWicked1:
Haven't used the Engineering one personally to me it didn't give me any benefits for now for me to flash it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8nitro:
SOrry for so many questions, but I saw that a few people has issues. Hopefully last question and I will be golden ... For Philz I see to downloads in the link provided by rlmiller - philz_touch_6.12.9-hltespr.tar.md5 and philz_touch_6.12.9-hltespr compared to just one file for TWRP - TWRP KITKAT hltespr-recovery-4.4.img. To use Philz do I need just one file or both? The reason I ask is because in the instructions it says "And lastly....

Now powerdown phone and start up in download mode again.

start odin and plugin phone again.

now click in phone slot and browse to TWRP file

you now click start and wait until it says pass and reboots. Unplug and wait for startup"

But it does not give instruction for Philz, which is 2 different files that are not the same as the TWRP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MrWicked1:
No just flash the stock....let it load up....reboot into dl again...odin cf autoroot....boot up....then reboot dl mode again then you can flash which ever recovery you like twrp or philz.....then load up reboot to recovery I would make a backup then flash Sacs rom....then you should be all good to go. And no prob on the questions it's better to ask then not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8nitro:
Sorry, I think I didn't explain well. I am going to go with Philz because it worked well for you, but my question was which Philz file:

philz_touch_6.12.9-hltespr.tar.md5

or

philz_touch_6.12.9-hltespr

do I use in whe I get to the TWRP area of the instructions:

Now powerdown phone and start up in download mode again.

start odin and plugin phone again.

now click in phone slot and browse to TWRP file <----------------------------------- here

you now click start and wait until it says pass and reboots. Unplug and wait for startup
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MrWicked1:
Yeah instead of the twrp file you use the philz tar.md5

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] DFStormbringer:
currently saving up.. if fate allows i plan on getting a SGN 10.1-2014ed to replace my twice dying Kocaso M870.

over the past 3 months ive done quite a bit of research through mags and android sites claiming this to be the best tablet around especially in terms of functionality.

several minor reviews and 2 hour long reviews posted on youtube with the earlier information has convinced me this is the direction i want to go.

im a gamer.. artist.. and one heck of a multi tasker that hopes to become a dedicated streamer in the future... this tab will help with all these things.

my key issues is what model of the SM-Pxxx series to get...

Firstly.. im located in the US.. and will only buy from certified reliable retailers.

this means amazon and ebvay and thier china hackware and voided warrentys are totally out of the question.

Im as of current.. stuck with best buy and thier 50$ off sale of the SM-P600 32gb-black..

16gb is a joke being the OS itself takes up 8 gigs...

i looked into the 64gb version.. but simply put.. it dont exsist.

3g.. and lte versions.. dont exsist.

before being flamed.. please hear me out.

according to samsung.. LTE ONLY comes in 32 and 64gbs models.. yet ALL the amazon LTE models are 16gb..

even the description on the amazon sales page STATES the device has been opened and modified.

and most importantly.. youtube videos of the so called LTE versions are A) all in german..

B) ALL have thier "unboxing" comming from an unsealed box... C) all having 16 gb-wifi listed on the front of the box AND the screen protector.. D) the screen protector has NO mention of 3G or LTE while the back of the box mentions LTE at the side of the list.

simply put.. these LTE versions are NOT the real deal. its a china sweatshop gettingthe cheapest 16gb model.. cracking the tablet open.. thus voiding its warrenty.. and adding a LTE antenna from some cheap cellphone... so they can sell a 550$ tablet for 800$... huge profit.

And its a mess i intend to avoid.

And from what ive seen.. the 3G model has only recently been leaked that vorizon will be its carrier.. and any "news" of the LTE version.. or the release date for EITHER version is simply non exsistant through official channels.

all this in mind..

Doi keep saving for the SM-P600 and be happy wiht a legit tablet..

Do i wait and hope that the 601 or 605 release in the near future before this dying tablet stops booting up...

and if i wait.. being i cant afford the cell phone bill as i never call ANYONE.. what would the 601-605 offer me that the 600 series dont already offer save a slightly faster processor?
