[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Headcase_Fargone:
Anyone have any ideas at all? I've tried flashing a number of bootloaders in Odin and continue to get errors like "FAIL! (Auth)" and "SECURE CHECK FAIL : aboot." I can't flash anything in recovery it seems.

I can still get into stock Touchwiz and CWM recovery and Download Mode, but I can't seem to get ANYTHING to flash properly on this device.

Edit: It seems to always fail on aboot.mbn, which I'm reading can be caused by a locked bootloader. Anything I can do about that?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Headcase_Fargone:
I was able to flash AOKP 4.4, I'm assuming because it didn't mess with the bootloader any. Baseband version is still showing as T999UVDMD5. If I try to flash something like Cyanogenmod I get a bootloader error and it fails.

Everything in build.prop shows SGH-I747 and d2att as the device model. I don't understand why it has a T-Mobile bootloader. Anyone know how to fix this?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] flipster64:
I have the exact opposite problem. It's an SGH-T999 that ids itself as an i747 in download mode. I can flash some things with Odin, but not full ROM tars ... I did flash Philz recovery and use it to flash other roms as zips ... but having trouble doing other things with it. And since I lost the IMEI and need it to talk over RMNET to fix that ... I think it's this i747 firmware that's messing me up.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Headcase_Fargone:
I wouldn't even worry about it now that AOKP 4.4.2 flashed okay, but the camera doesn't work and I can't seem to find a working solution. One thing after another...

i have 1 gb on phone memory but i am taking this warning.

"out of space. x could not be installed. free up some space and try again."

mostly in low size apps.but not fully. i dont know. some apps gives this error some dont. i used lucky patcher and fixed from it but nothing changed.
[Sony Xperia M] Dr Goodvibes:
Do you have root access on your phone and do you use Link2SD?
[Sony Xperia M] nurulmac11:
i have root but dont link2sd
[Sony Xperia M] nurulmac11:
I fixed. Problem was the rom toolbox. I chosed default install folder sd. I changed it automatically. And fixed. Thanks
[Sony Xperia M] Dr Goodvibes:
[update] you posted a reply before I did, good to know it's solved.

Ah, just that I noted a similar thing with Link2SD and by changing the Link2SD settings to:

Settings -> Install Location -> Automatic [x]

I was back in business without any low storage space problems.

You may like to have a look at Link2SD and see if installing this application is right for you.

Out of interest what does settings -> storage say is currently available on Internal Storage

There are many cached files on the Internal storage and maybe some have a difference between allocated size and used size.

If you're only seeing the 'used' internal storage size reported, the true available(unallocated) amount of space may be a lot less if new/updated apps are looking for space not already allocated.

These are just some of my ideas and not know to be true for the XPERIA M at this time.

I have used SD Maid - System Cleaning Tool in the past and it's pretty good (all be it a bit quirky) at identifying a range of system file that can be optimised/deleted.

It knows about camera cached thumb files too.

On the XPERIA M in the Settings -> Storage there is an option to 'move' all pictures, music and video files from internal storage to your SD card too.
[Sony Xperia M] nurulmac11:
Thanks man i will check them too.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiztard101:
I got my HTC One for 8 months now, i unlocked and flashed it with Andoird Reolution HD 12.0 back then, now as i wanted to perorm an update to 52.0 i tried to do it as usual, download the zip moved it to the "SD"-Card of the Phone and installed it via Clockwerkmod (latest Version). As the installation was complete i wanted to reboot the device and now im stuck in loading screen. If I turn the Phone off i can press recovery in the bootloader menu but it doesnt load in to Clockwerkmod. Does somebody have a solution to this Problem? What happens if I just perform a factory reset in the Bootloader?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit: i tried to flash the recovery manually using fastboot while using the manual from androidforums (cant post the actual link as im new to xda)

I followed the steps but now im stuck in cmd where its searching for devices, but it wont find one. as my phone is ****ed up and i dont have a working OS i did not turn off the Fastboot option in the settings.Is this the reason why its not working? Appreciate any ideas. :S
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mb_guy:
I'm not sure about CWM, but I know you need the latest versions of TWRP to work with KitKAt Roms. If you can get fastboot getvar all to work pls post so we can see where the phone is at.

If it's searching for devices, try removing and reinstalling the htc sync drivers. Get the newest version as well.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiztard101:
It is indeed searching for devices, i dont have sync manager installed and already manually updated the drivers.
[Verizon LG G2] jun991013:
So, just like anyone else, I have been having way worse battery life than I have been getting than when I first got the phone. Suspecting a defective battery I got a warranty replacement. Which did not help at all. Then I suspected something at a software level. After trying alot of roms avail. I finally walked up to the solution. It was the newest LG G2 OTA updates that were the culprit. I flashed the VS98010B_13 on my phone reset everything and booted and tried to run it for a day. It worked. I mean the fix, now as it used to it stays on 100% for about 2~4 hours and slowly dips down giving me about twice more battery life than I've been getting. I'm very proud of finding this fix and I decided to share it with everyone else. Tell me if it works for you guys or not. (I think downgrading really doesn't do anything LG never added any significant improvements.
[Verizon LG G2] BreakingVZW:
Where did you find the b13 update? I'm on 12b and haven't had one issue with my battery

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ----------

Oh nvm you meant 10b. 10b was crap for me. It killed my battery.
[Verizon LG G2] in_dmand:
Very interesting! I'm on vs98010b with no 13 on the end... Not sure about mine. Seems like the battery has gotten a little worse, but I thought it was just because I've had the phone for 6 months and have flashed several things (flashing kills the battery over time)

Josh
[Verizon LG G2] eckmanmj:
I am on 12B and my battery life is pretty consistent since I bought the phone back in November of last year. I am rooted and have flashed several different ROMs and Kernels. I am currently running Malladus 1.2.8.
[Verizon LG G2] bar_buryin:
How is your usage? I would also suggest getting Greenify to hibernate apps that you aren't actively using. Might be a wakelock issue.
[General Questions and Answers] freestyle10:
I'm try to do a dump of a nand for forensic analysis only form educational purpose.

What do you think is the best method for this, use dd or Nandroid or nandump from MTD-Utils? any other?

Thank you for read.
[General Questions and Answers] Lgrootnoob:
nandroid is best because the partition you are dumping isnt being used.

dd might give a corrupt img but it is useful.

On android:

su
dd if=/system of=/sdcard/system.img bs=2m

On your linux box:

su
mkdir /home/andsys
mount -o loop /home/system.img /home/andsys

Works with rfs, ext2 3 and 4 not sure about yaffs2 though.

Now a nandroid is harder to view on a full linux box but it is possible.

You have to look for the nandroid dump images.

They might be in the clockworkmod folder on the sdcard or your device might not have an sdcard in that case you will need to use ftp to transfer the images from the /sdcard partition or they may be in another weird place like on my nexus 7.
[Networking] denix0:
I am testing BlueFire 2.3.0 client for more than a week now. Overall it is very good - it does its job done. But after running it extensively for a week I discovered several issues with it, mostly cosmetic, but they are really annoying. Especially, if you want to have Direct Push. Those issues are:

1. "Save credentials for auto-reauthentication" does not work - you have to enter your password every time you connect.

2. It does not reconnect on its own, if it looses the connection (i.e. EDGE/GPRS goes down temporarily)

3. Detection of disconnect is not very reliable - sometimes when you loose signal and GPRS connection wants to disconnect, it cannot do it because of VPN still thinks it is connected and prevents GPRS from reconnecting.

4. Extensive use of on-screen push-buttons instead of soft-keys. And soft-keys are mapped to rarely used functions, like About - poor interface design. It woldn't be so bad, if the VPN client was not requiring user interaction to reconnect and authenticate...

5. After several minutes of standby, it brings its window on top of Today screen, kinda like letting user know that he better check his tunnel/connection, because it could be already disconnected... :) In most cases it is not true, because the unit wakes half the way up every several minutes to check email or send a heart-beat packet, which keeps connection up (this only applies to GPRS/EDGE connection and not WiFi, unfortunatelly). But sometimes the VPN tunnel becomes dead, and you have to click "Disconnect", "Connect" and enter your password again.

Ok, that is my impression about BlueFire VPN client. Now the question is - is there any better IPsec client for PPC (WM5), which allows you to have Direct Push email over IPsec all day long without your intervention to check the connection status and reconnect manually?

Thanks for your time.
[Networking] DoctorT:
Hi!

Where did you get version 2.3?? I just can find 2.2 on their website...

I wasn't able to connect to my uni's Cisco VPN with version 2.2 and had a lot of issues with other VPN clients (NCP and Antha kind of disrupted the connection manager) - so basically I haven't found any client which is working properly. Hope that will change with one of the next versions...

Thomas
[Networking] denix0:
Apparently, even though their web site says 2.2, they are giving out 2.3 here for trial:

http://www.bluefiresecurity.com/orders/

As of other VPNs for me so far:

NCP killed all my connections - GPRS and WiFi didn't work anymore. It is overcomplicated and I had to uninstall it to get my connections to work properly again.

Antha is promising, especially its DPD (Dead Peer Detection) feature, but I cannot connect with it to our VPN server no matter what I do. I copied all the settings from Bluefire, which can connect, but stil no success.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deggua:
After rooting my D80010q with ioRoot24 I decided to install ROM Manager and make a NANDroidBackup before I installed Xposed. The root works but an issue came up after I attempted to boot into recovery (CWM Touch 6.0.4.4). I simply got a dead android icon after the LG logo. After I Googled the issue and couldn't find any kind of solution besides attempting to boot into recovery manually by holding the volume buttons and the power button while turning on the device, which failed, I decided to come here.

Has anyone encountered this before and knows of any kind of solution to boot into recovery? I'm guessing it's because the bootloader is locked but I could be wrong. Didn't plan on installing a custom ROM though.

Carrier: AT&T

Device: D80010q

Android Version: 4.2.2

ROM Manager Version: 5.5.3.7

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjpearson:
OK, I'll try this tomorrow, thanks for the help.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Like mb_guy said, you MUST place the bin file in the same folder where adb and fastboot are. Every time you want to flash a file to your phone it must be in that folder, otherwise fastboot won't find it and it will output you that error (can't open file). That rule apply to recovery, unlock code, rom, kernel, ruu, firmware etc etc.

tj
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
''error: cannot open'' is caused because fastboot don't find the file. Is the recovery file you are trying to flash is named exactly <openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7.img> ?

Btw I'll recommend you to flash twrp 2.6.3.3 not 2.6.3.0 as you could have issur flashing newer 4.4 rom

fastboot flash recovery <name_of_file.img>
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjpearson:
Yes, named exactly the same.

It's driving me mad, if the bootloader is now unlocked is there an easier way to flash twrp and then root.
