Hey,

I got a HTC One XL with a defect Screen + Touchscreen. I can turn it on and off but cant log in because of the defect touchscreen.

Is there a possibility to read the internal storage? Or to remotely control the phone over my laptop, so I can log in and use it as storage device?

Thanks in advance

Basically, no. You'd need to be able to unlock the device in order to access the storage or mount the storage.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kwoun:
So basically, all my data on the internal storage is lost. Any suggestions? :rolleyes:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinnny:
Hi

Last week my phone (rooted Motorola RAZR i running the stock T-Mobile UK rom ) developed these problems:

1. WiFi - within a few hours of no use, WiFi indicator goes from blue to grey; which apparently means "not connected to Google services". This apparently means that gmail syncing, etc doesn't work, but other non-Google internet stuff should be fine... but in my case this was not the case, ie all internet connectivity was down.

2. Mobile data - same issue a WiFi; that is no use, indicator blue to grey, no connectivity.

3. Bluetooth - no audio for calls, but music is fine. When i call someone via Bluetooth headset, i can't hear their phone ringing or their voice once they answer.

So it seems that each radio loses partial functionality. I say partial because WiFi and mobile data both still showed me connected, despite not seeming to function at all. The issues occur separately. Each issue can be fixed by turning the relevant service off and on again. I haven't installed any new apps recently (that i can recall).

I don't expect anyone to diagnose the issue(s) (they seem related), but could i would like some advice regarding how to debug the problems, eg tools, logs, etc that might help me see what's going wrong.

TIA.

Hi there,

was switching from CM10.1 to [ROM][KK][4.4.2] CarbonRom [27/2/2014] for my One S C2 today, trying to solve the homescreen bug. Anyway while recovering my phone with helium, I figured out, that only one app couldn't be installed to the sd card.

Now I want to delete the smdl2tmp1 file in .android-secure as everyone suggests on the Internet. Unfortunately I'm unable to find the location of this file. I've used the file manger which is deployed along with the rom in root mode (superuser). Did the same with "RootBrowser" too. Mounting the card via usb to my win7 machine wasn't working either (could only see the internal sd card without any hidden folders[of course the respective option is enabled]).

Hints and help much appreciated.

Hi,

I did a full firmware install on my i747m (bell), I reinstalled TWRP and installed a rom on there. I tried to boot and it stayed only on the samsung screen, tried to install the rom again but still the same thing, installed another rom but same thing. Any idea on how I can fix this?

Hey all -

I have a corrupted extSd card and trying to save it if possible. I've tried windows chkdsk etc but it freezes and unmounts while running the check, and from the commandline I get a I/O error timeout. I know it's iffy... but trying to see if I can fix it from the android side.

I found the e2fsck command that I can most easily run from the adb shell / su route, but it's stuck when I do it, so not sure if it's running or (most likely) I'm running it wrong.

What I'm doing is, from a windows command prompt:

adb shell
su
e2fsck -fv /extSdCard

Then it's frozen.

Does it take a long time to run or am I doing it wrong? Thanks!
[About XDA developers] Robrecht:
The trash folder was a good idea to move some of the recent spam messages out of the way, but apparently trashed messages still show up in the "View posts since last visit" and "View posts of last day" lists. So for members who frequently use this feature, the trash folder doesn't solve anything.

It shouldn't be too difficult to hack the forum software to solve this. The "View posts since last visit" and "View posts of last day" links use a simple search function, I believe, so you could just alter the search parameters to exclude the trash folder.

Just a suggestion! :wink:

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] arvinchugh:
I did my search before posting this, so I'm sorry if this has been already resolved but I couldn't find solution to this.

I've a Kindle HDX 8.9 64GB wifi model, it was rooted installed SU, installed safestrap on it and had google play store and gapps working on it., I was too busy so left it device as it is and never used it. Recently got free and noticed it was downloading update. I remembered reading that update breaks Root so switched off device as I panicked and then turned it on in airplane mode. I came here and saw what could be done to prevent update. Tried firewall with IP tables that didn't help as download of update resumed after I turned airplane mode off. Then I did more search did below changes

I renamed otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.old in /etc/security/

I renamed com.amazon.dcp.apk to com.amazon.dcp.apk.old in /system/app/

along with above changes I made changes suggested in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2678600

"edit build.prop

ro.build.version.number=999999999"

After doing all these changes, update stopped and started giving me error of unable to check update. I was all happy. Started using device normally and everything was fine till I rebooted device and that's when it messed up.

Tablet starts normally with Kindle fire logo and then comes Safestrap menu with options to continue or go into recovery. I clicked continue as usual and it just sits there with grey screen. Doesn't do anything at all from there on. I rebooted again and was able to go into recovery mode but I never took backup (I know dumb of me) so there was nothing I could do there. I tried to turn on adb sideload in recovery but it kept attempting to turn on but never did. When kindle is in grey screen its been detected on Laptop. In device manager device is detected 2 places as shown in picture attached, One under other devices with shows android device with yellow triangle on it and also under portable devices as MTP usb device. Though I'm unable to see it detected in file system. I've kindle drivers already installed.

I'm not sure renaming those files messed my system up or changing build prop messed it up. But I'm unable to find solution to fix this mess.

I would really appreciate help as I'm in pretty tight position here. Device can't be returned to amazon as I'm in India now. So only option I got is to repair it somehow or its $500 down the drain :(

UPDATE : ADB detects Kindle as emulator-5554 device. May be its a good sign? :\ again any help would be appreciated.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevolcFael4:
Had a problem with audio playback (volume always high no matter what). Decide to flash. PAC for my Sprint LS980. I see this:

Sorce: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2669074

Seeing the last sentance, I think that if I flash ZVA Radio, SlimKat ROM (the one that causes me problems) and then dr87's kernel I could try a ZVA experience. I flashed SlimKat again becuase I was going to change anyway, I wanted to try it with ZVA.

Tell myself why not, I do it.

Fails but I didnt pay much attention. I reboot.

Stuck in fastboot mode and cant escape. Recovery is a no-go.

Tried flashing both ZV7aboot.img and twrp2.6.3.0.img into their appropriate partitions (boot and recovery).

Still having problems, but now I cant do any button combination (except DownloadMode. Cant turn off) after ZV7aboot.img flash.

I dont want to erase my memory (~26GB of valuable data). Is there a way to flash a ZV8Radio.zip from fastboot? I think thats my problem, but Im not too sure. Just access to recovery would allow my to fix my problems.

Thanks anyone for any help! I think I really screwed myself over this time. Thanks everyone!

Edit: Anyone know where to get a boot.img and system.img for the Sprint LS980?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savoca:
zv7_aboot.img isn't a boot.img, it's the bootloader. Use FreeGee to install twrp, it will handle the aboot for you. Then you can take advantage of the last sentence.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevolcFael4:
I am stuck in fastboot. No recovery. Download mode is also accessable.

Which of the following would help:

* System.img and Boot.img (where to find em?)

* A kernel .img (Do they exist?)

* Flashing the ZV7 or 8 aboot.img oncemore with twrp.img again?

Thanks for coming to help! It means a lot.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savoca:
If you can boot into a rom, use FreeGee to install twrp. If you can't boot into rom and recovery, you need to flashtool.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevolcFael4:
Flashtools is asking for login and password. ?

Does this mean I have to wipe all user data in order to use it?

You didn't read the tutorial.

http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevolcFael4:
Thanks for the link! That was extremely helpful.

What I did to gain access to twrp again was:

Download boot.img from the link.

Download aboot.img from link.

Download twrp.img (but this isnt necessary, file is already available on phone. No need.)

* Enter command 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'

* (If you hold power it starts showing LG Logo.)

* Go back to Fastboot. Enter command 'fastboot flash aboot aboot.img'

* Now TWRP access is regained! Phone doesnt boot normally, must flash ROM and stuff again.

Thanks a lot! This was an okay first fastboot experience.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevolcFael4:
Sorry for not replying, but I see you managed to fix your problem. All you needed to do was download .img files, then enter commands through fastboot. Although it is slightly more complicated than that, its the rough outline of what needs to be done to fix it. Nice work fixing your problem.

bricked , simple fix?

this process (which i got from a different thread originally)

bricked my phone Lg G2 (Ls 980 sprint 32 gb)

i was on remote connection with my friend attempting all kinds of flashes (mostly custom roms and recoveries)

what he did

he FIRST flashboot erase aboot

and then erased all the other files

foolishly he then used fastboot reboot BEFORE reflashing the necessary images

this leaves me with a device that is practically 100% empty all hardware no software

i have no response no life not even a backlight EXCEPT

i can plug into windows and see Qdloader9008 is connected comport 3

and i can communicate with the device on ubuntu terminal although im not too farmiliar with terminal syntax so im not having much luck

im convinced it is as simple as reflashing at least a working recovery or download mode from which i can install everything else i nee

between QPST, Terminal, and or some other method

sorry for Noob ish ness

any help would be appreciated even if just help with a better understanding of what to do next

payment is possible
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevolcFael4:
Sorry, I barely understood what to do originally. What you have to do next is to reflash the aboot/boot/ whatever partitions but getting to that position might be difficult. Maybe some sort of command would allow you to connect to it oncemore?

Sorry, try to look into it more and see if a dev could help. Try posting something in /r/lgg2 but then again I cant be certain anything would happen. Good luck!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevolcFael4:
Easy guide

Since the problem keeps happening to people heres a quick tutorial I made.

Download and install this (PC only?)

Now go here. (D802) (D800) (LS980) (VS980) (D803) (Device tree/others)Download the images for laf, aboot, boot, and recovery.

Place the 4 .img files in the same folder. Control right click in that folded and open terminal. If this isn't how you open terminal in a folder search"how to open terminal in a folder".

(NOTE: Commands below will differ from the file names. Change the values in the parenthesis to match the files, HOWEVER, do not type the parenthesis into the terminal prompt! It will not work if you do.)

type the following commands in fastboot:

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase aboot

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot erase laf

fastboot flash boot (6-boot.img)

fastboot flash aboot (4-aboot.img)

fastboot flash recovery (10-recovery.img)

fastboot flash laf (11-laf.img)

fastboot reboot

You should be fine now!

Hi, I have a rooted ouya running the latest stock fw. I am loving the device but had been looking for a way to control my ouya over the network if (which commonly happens) the ouya remote desyncs, and I don't have a spare usb keyboard mouse lying around to resync it.

I tried sideloading lanmote but I got an error with the license so removed it and rebooted the ouya. Since then the ouya contoller buttons won't respond and neither will a USB keyboard. I still have root ftp access (ftpdroidpro), and the touchpad on the ouya mostly works for navigating the menus.

I gather I have damaged some controller setting somewhere when installing lanmote as it had root access. What are my options to get it up and running again. Is there a file I can ftp over to fix this, I have full root access over ftp.

[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericwong:
Try and make sure all the keymap files LANmote installed into your system partition are removed.

You can find the list at this link

http://lanmote.idea.informer.com/proj/?ia=63302

LANmote doesn't do anything else to your device other than install those keymap files.

If you are going to install the paid version of LANmote, you need to make sure your device is running the same Google Play/market account you have purchased LANmote or it will not work.

I'm on stock Kitkat.

I've noticed this problem since this morning. My phone's gallery is not showing Whatsapp images and media too!

I checked and the files are there ofcourse in storage.

I used gallery+ and still same.

Then I used a third party app Quickpic checked the see hidden option and it showed the folder.

I made sure that the media was not hidden using two for browsers but nothing.

I'm just confused why the phone's default gallery can't show the images.

Anybody face anything like this before?

Thanks in advance.

Update - For the third party app I found that I've to check for the hidden files again and again! :/

Any help please?

Solution - As neu - smurph said delete any file named as .NOMEDIA ( in caps for me might be small for you) and you got it all sorted out.
