I think I understand the problem you have from the limited information supplied.

You have rebooted to a white screen after a failed rom upgrade, correct?

If so, just disconnect your device from the PC, hold power+record buttons, then prod the reset hole with your stylus. You will see "Serial v2.xx" where "xx" can vary. Now attach the phone to your PC (device now shows "USB" instead of "serial").

Next, kill off all activesync processes on the PC (ctrl-alt-del to enter task manager, then end task on "rapimgr.exe", "wcescomm.exe", "wcesmgr.exe").

Now that the device is attached and activesync is killed, start the ROM upgrader application to update the phone ROM.

After successful upgrade, it often helps to reboot the PC as well as the phone, as activesync does not always recover well from having its processes killed.

Im saying that My PDA is starting to freeze. Even after running, its starting to freeze up and I have to soft reset it. I am able to install a ROM on it however at the end of installing the ROM where the screens says COMPLETE...Tap to continue ro begin using your device...and its starts the ROM....As soon as I tap the screen in the middle of starting WM5 it freezes... Ive even downgrade to Wm2oo3SE and it still freezes. But after soft resest there was a message about "system data is corrupted, System will erase all data to fix this error! Yes or No to fix"....Can that be fix or am I able to re-format the PDA hdd and reinstall WM2oo3SE or WM5?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] thingonaspring:
Hi again,

This is a guess, so treat it as such, but I suspect that something in your extended ROM could be causing the problem. On first boot after reflash, a file "autorun.exe" is executed from the extended ROM, and this will normally install a bunch of CAB files.

If something in your extended ROM was corrupt or otherwise not correct, it could cause a lockup on first boot - immediately after calibrating the screen, setting the timezone etc, just as you describe.

The safest thing to do is to revert to the device's complete set of original ROMs, as found in this table :-

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Upgrades

The original ROM-set will restore the main ROM, extended ROM and radio ROM to the defaults.

If the problem is fixed afterwards, and you still feel brave enough to upgrade to WM5, then first repartition your device so that the extended ROM is empty. Instructions on how to do this from within WM2003 are found here :-

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Tommigrl_7o2:
Figured Out A Solution

I figured out the problem and Im not sure if others have experienced this problem or not. Even if you dont created an extended rom on your Blue Angel when changing from rom to rom, if your screen tends to freezes after saying "tap on your screen to begin using your device" you will have to run the DOC repartitioning tool in the Prepartion Folder of some ROMS. Once running the program as the directions tells you and preform a reset even a hard reset on your device, everything will run fine without freezing.

[G2 General] SkdnSn:
I came across the LiquidSmooth thread today and everybody was ranting about how fast the data speeds were. A user claimed that it was running the ZVA radio but I was doubtful so i thought I would try.

I first flashed the ROM, checked, and was on ZV8 still like I expected. I booted back into recovery, flashed the ZVA radio, expecting a boot loop. The LG logo booted once, then twice, and I thought oh great just what I expected, but next, the LiquidSmooth boot loaded. I checked and I am running baseband version M8974A-AAAANAZM-2.0.20018

You can take the boot from LiquidSmooth and use it for other ROMs, just don't change the kernel from dr87's. I'm on PA Beta6 with same baseband version

I got my best and fastest LTE speeds on the ZV8 radio on this rom. The ZVA stock based roms i've tried arent holding LTE as well so not sure if i should use the ZVA with LS at this point. Plus we dont have Spark here so no real benefits.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dr. Fed:
Pardon the comments which seem like objections, but they are necessary if the content of your post is not exactly accurate. The GPE 4.4.2 has been available for a long time for this device. The official TW 4.4.2 is not available yet. Don't confuse the two. Also, of course the GPE update notification will occur if you're on the older version of Virgin Rom(4.3). But if you have a custom recovery it will fail to install most likely. Also, the title of your post fails to recognize the complexities of going from 4.3 to 4.4 on an older bootloader and having a fully working result.

I think your intentions were nice, but you may end up misleading people.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] waternut13134:
Hey guys,So I just got my Galaxy Gear today and Ive read around and even Samsung's own manual says there is this Safety Assistance where you hit the power button 3 times and it will take a picture with GPS and send it to you emergency contact. The manual says to enable it under settings then safety assistance. But under my settings in gear manager there is no such setting. I contacted Samsung and they can't find where it even says in the manual. Did this feature get removed,or am I just missing something?

Im including the link to Samsung's site and its on PG.35 of the manual.

Thanks so much for any help!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Breach:
Did you ever figure out the issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] waternut13134:
I was told that it was pulled last minute. When I insisted they looked at the manual and page number they said that their manual did not show that and there manual was newer so it meant the feature was pulled.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Breach:
My Gear and my new Gear 2 both have the option. My wife's does not. I think the issue is the rom you are running. My wife's Note 3 is running the stock T-mobile rom and she does not have the opinion. I upgraded to an international rom (to get rid of the t-mobile crap on my phone, most specifically the block they put on the tethering) and a side effect is I now have the Safety Assistance option.

Just figured I would let you know, incase you were interested,
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 440bro:
Is it possible to obtain the app for that? Like if you open wondershare on a pc, do you see it there? If so back it up, and upload it please.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Breach:
The app wouldn't do any good unless you had the option in Gear Manager to turn it off and on, and to set an emergency contact for the app to message.

Perhaps there is a way to inject/mock the version of the rom to allow the option in Gear Manager so the option/ability is enabled.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zephos:
Hey I'm pretty new to rooting, and I think I might have seriously f'd this one up.

I actually did the root just fine, no troubles with that. I just ran something called saferoot, verified the root and actually made a backup with Titanium (on my PC now). After that, I used an app EZ-Unlock which told me my bootloader was successfully unlocked.

Now comes the rough part. I got ROM Manager and used it to install ClockWork Mod. I hit "Make backup with CWM" it shut down my phone, and now I can't get it to boot at all.

I could really use some help ASAP here, I need the phone. Thanks guys

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] darwinwasright:
Hello

i am just on a fishing expedition here so please bear with me. I am interested in a rom that is geared towards privacy or security based on android. With all of the id theft and government hanky panky i have started researching this subject but the only thing definitive i have found is the "blackphone". I would prefer something a little less proprietary and more open source.

If you know of a project or can suggest any apps that could aid in my quest (privacy, encryption, etc) please let me know.

Thanks
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Solarenemy68:
If it is open source then it is open door... Simple as that. There is no secure ROM, for any Android based phone.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] darwinwasright:
open source?

My understanding of the title "open source" is that the source code is open or available freely for developers to download and work with to fit their needs. This is in contrast to M....soft and A.... who hide their source code in a deep dark cave somewhere. Linux is a perfect example of this. There are several different variations of Linux that are modified for privacy and security as well as other purposes. It is well known that Linux is much more secure than standard out of the box OS's and this is directly attributable to the community effort for development and policing of the operating system........thanks to open source.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Solarenemy68:
The reason Linux is so secure in regards to virus and exploits is because so few people use it is not a target for the groups that create the virus and exploits.

What I meant by open door equals open source is simply that. As long as the source files are open source that can be reverse engineered by anyone and exploited. There was a news article about France and some other countries creating their own private internet to keep the US from spying on them. That is all good except they have not put human into the equation. As long as humans are involved in the programming and creation of secure systems, there will always be a backdoor or exploit. It is very easy to buy s person and have them give access to a secure system.

There is no such thing as a secure system. Hardened maybe, but never secure. The very nature and function of these phones make them insecure. If you want true security then a smart phone is not your best option. Especially not one like the ONE or others that are so heavily integrated in to social media.

I have rooted my phone, it has /system/bin/su but I am unable to actually utilize its functionality. For example, I cannot install openvpn, busybox, a custom /etc/hosts file.

I can run adb remount and when I run "mount|grep system" it shows it being mounted as rw. Then I can write files as normally, but when I reboot, everything is back to its default.

Output of mount|grep system:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p33 /system ext4 ro,seclabel,noatime,data=ordered 0 0

After running adb remount:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p33 /system ext4 rw,seclabel,noatime,data=ordered 0 0

But when I install busybox, nothing is installed into /system/xbin

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] meschle:
You can backup your voice tag database between hard resets by copying the file CommandModel1.bin found under the windows folder to your pc or to the memory card. After rom upgrade copy it back to your windows folder and all your voice tags are back!

Create backup of windows\start menu - most programs that are on the storage card dont need a reinstall.

Create copy of pim.vol in the root directory of the device - contains contact and appt information.

Create backup of windows\favorites - for all your internet favorites.

That will make restore a bit quicker than otherwise.

I tried copying the pim.vol but it tells me that the file is in use? how do i back it up?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] meschle:
You have to use total commander or gsfinder (must haves and both free, i prefer gsfinder) on the device to do it. When you reset you have to rename pim.vol to say pim.vo and them copy and paste it from your storage card.

thanks allot!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Cardcaptor_RLH85:
The problem wasn't so much that you tried to restore a backup, the problem was that you tried to restore a FULL backup. If you had used a backup manager that allowed custom restorations from the backup file then you would've been able to restore just the files without also restoring the registry keys and settings which is probably what killed your phone.

When I click on S Note Settings, help, it force closes. I'm running Hyperdrive (Note 3...new 10.1 on the way)...

Thnx!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4rkkn16ht:
S-Note is easy to use note taking apps.

Basically what you see there is all what you can get.

Some features I can tell you here:

Pop-up Note : Double Tap + Pen Button on the screen

S-Note : (While making new Note or Editing) Hand Icon on the bottom right corner to disable touch & use only S-Pen

Long Press toolbar icons : floating related toolbar

Tapping active toolbar icons : related toolbar function

During Pen mode you can record your step by step / touch by touch action.

Record Voice memo : useful to sync your note & the lecturer speaking sound.

Adding tags to make searching easier.

...and many more (auto shape,handwriting recognition,formula recognition & solver,etc...)

Auto shape,handwriting recognition,formula recognition & solver are disabled if you are using Pop-up Note even if you edit your previous Note that you made by using Pop-up Note

Thank you. One of the specific questions I had was: I see there's a lasso feature. Once you lasso something, you can choose "cut." After you cut it, can you paste it somewhere else? Or, is there an option to move a selection?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4rkkn16ht:
It is not a S-Note feature, it's a S-Pen feature.

To use it just draw an intersecting line like a circle or box (it doesn't have to be a box or circle) on the screen while pressing & hold the S-Pen button.

When you release the button, there will be an apps list to put the selection.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grimloktt:
OK. I figured it out. At the top of S-note is a dotted cloud. After selecting that, you can select something you wrote. If you choose to select cut, you can then paste it elsewhere on the S-note page by simply holding the stylus against the page w/ no button depressed. An option comes up to paste.

I did the same process every rom i've flashed in the past uses (Droid 2, Droid X, Evo4G)

>Wipe Data/Cache

>Wipe Dalvik Cache

>Flash rom (for 500mb roms... this device does it in less than a minute. Is that wrong?)

When your bootloader cannot be unlocked (http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions), then you have to accept that, I'm afraid.
