[Moto X Q&A] taylorad:
T-Mobile Moto X Developer edition, rooted, SuperSU

It shows the motorola animation, then the screen goes black.

For a split second, the notification bar (empty save the clock) and the three on screen "buttons" at the bottom both show up, then quickly disappear.

I can get into twrp recovery. Wiped cache & dalvik, rebooted to system. Got the "android is upgrading" box, screen stayed on while this was completing, but then went off and once again I only see the notification bar and the buttons for a split second.

I had installed "delayed lock" and "adblock plus" earlier today, but the phone has been restarted since then without incident.

The reboot immediately before this first happened was initiated from within ROM Toolbox Pro.

The notification bar and the three on screen buttons reappear for a split second when i pick the phone up as well (presumably when it would be showing me active notifications)

I am fairly certain I know how to reflash to the moto dev edition factory image, but was hoping to avoid if at all possible. Any simpler suggestions?

Supposedly there is a "SAFE MODE" (no 3rd party apps) you can access by holding both volume buttons once the motorola splash appears, but I can't seem to get that to work.

Additionally, within the moto recovery img, you can hit volume up for 10 seconds then press and release power to access these options: reboot, apply update from sdcard, apply update from ADB, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition.

The time zone keeps changing. I using the 2.3 ROM. I keep resetting it and it resets itself. My Today screen shows appointments off by an hour (I am in the Eastern time zone) but when you select the appointment the calendar shows the correct time. Madding.

What is going on that allows the time zone to revert to Indiana?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] foxbat121:
It's the new feature of Auto-timezone setting. Just uncheck it. It always default to Indiana after reboot. If your time zone keep changing, it's likely one of the cell tower near you has incorrect time zone setting.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] gamescan:
Do a search on automatic time zone update.

Cingular doesn't know how to set the time zone properly on its towers.

It's a known issue.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Chriš:
If you had searched you would have found the answer because it's been answered about 1000X times already. It's a known issue that some towers broadcast the wrong time zone.

Go to start > settings > phone > time zones tab and disable the "auto update time zone & date" function.

Your device will sync with your PC's clock at next sync anyway.

Thank you very much including the scolding. I've spent alot of time scouring this forum and others and never saw that was an issue. Thanks again.
[General Questions and Answers] RedNak71:
Hi all. I just want to say I am very new to this rooting and custom rom thing. I have rooted my droid razr xt912 with no problems and use sidestrap to partition and load custom roms. cm 11 is awesome. Thanks for the great work. I have just rooted my Lenovo IdeaTab S2110AF and now want to start tinkering around with it to see what i can get loaded on it. My question is this, is there a program like safestrap that i can use so that my original working rom is nicely tucked away so when im fooling around with loading and tinkering, we go into brick mode, all i have to do is restart my tablet and get the same boot, flash, wipe, activate options I get with safestrap. That program is great on my phone because no matter how bad i screwed things up, i could just wipe the active rom slot and start over, and my stable stock rom was still good to go. Any help for a program like this for this tablet would be great. Let me know..Thanks.

Hello! I recently bought this phone for my sister as her present and i tried to install the Tubemate apk. The problem is that this app is powered by an app called MP3 Video Converter. When i try to install this necessary app, it says its incompatible with the phone. So any of you have any ideas about what app i could use to download youtube videos as mp3 files? Thank you in advance!
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siMp0lMaN:

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeinekenAmstel:
It does download the video as in mp4 format, which means it cannot be played as music. In order to save as mp3, you need a converter. The only one directly supported, i fear is the MP3 Video Converter. Thats what Tubemate its self claims to be needed. Any ideas?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marco Lomas:
I recommend you Youtube downloader (its on the apps development forum) it downloads the video directly from the sharing option of youtube, and the player Power amp, its reproduce the mp4 videos only the music :), i use this combination and its the best :)

Someone wanted to keep you away from android development.

You can get Android Studio for free, and it is amazing as well: developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html

To get it working you will also have to download and install Android SDK (free as well): developer.android.com/sdk/index.html?hl=sk#download (click on "USE EXISTING IDE" to skip downloading Eclipse)

Finally, to publish Android App you need to pay $25 once, and publish as many products as you want (-30% from sales to Play Store).

DUDE i just got this on cm9! i've gotten this 3 times with aokp and glitch, i have absolutely no idea why this happens but it's only an issue with ICS.. i'm assuming something between the OS and the modem firmware just glitches out and causes this. not an issue on JB or GB from what I remember, haven't actually tried kitkat long enough to use it.

[HTC One X] duffydake:
Hi,

I recently change my rom from an AOKP JB to Carbon KitKat.

Since that i've a "strange" issue with "sdcard" (all other stuff works fine).

What works:

- sdcard in CWM (both shell + usb)

- sdcard on usb (USB transfer or something like this in English)

What does not work:

- Unable to read or write sdcard under Android (/sdcard, ...), the only thing i can do is with root user in "/mnt/media_rw/sdcard0" folder

So, internal storage (sdcard) is not shown and usable in android, and get only ~2 Gb on ~27 Gb makes me :silly:

What i know :

- sdcard is mounted in "/mnt/media_rw/sdcard0" with 700 perm (only root)

- /sdcard -> /storage/sdcard0 which is empty

- I'm totally lost on kitkat files hierarchy and how it works :p

I guess, it's a mount/fuse issue between "/mnt/media_rw/sdcard0" and "/storage/sdcard0" and rights problem but i don't know what to do to fix this.

So, any suggestion or help will be really appreciate, thanks :)

EDIT

Now i'am able to modify ini.endeavoru.common.rc,... but i tried many things and "sdcard" not works. The best i can do is "/sdcard" -> "/mnt/media_rw/sdcard0" and i can read/write on it but android does not see it and USB tranfer not works anymore.

I found this : source.android.com/devices/tech/storage/config-example.html

What i don't understand is for me Hox is "like Nexus 4" but default init files are "like Nexus One" , so i tried "like Nexus 4" but this does not works.

So i think i'm close and if anyone have a link or something about sdcard on android kitkat (how it works) it can be really helpfull.

I don't know what was wrong but i solved it with cyanogen init files.

Download the tool using wget for unpack/pack boot.img:

mkdir ~/temp
cd ~/temp
wget android-serialport-api.googlecode.com/files/android_bootimg_tools.tar.gz

Extract :

tar xvzf android_bootimg_tools.tar.gz
rm android_bootimg_tools.tar.gz

Download cyanogen nightlybuild and extract boot.img in ~/temp folder, then unpack boot.img

mkdir cboot
~/temp/unpackbootimg -i boot.img -o cboot/
rm boot.img

Extract ramdisk

mkdir cboot/ramfs
cd ~/temp/cboot/ramfs
gunzip -c ../boot.img-ramdisk.gz | cpio -i

Do the same thing with Carbon KitKat boot.img in "~/temp/boot" and then copy "init.endeavoru..." files from "cboot/ramfs" to "boot/ramfs"

Pack files to boot.img-ramdisk.gz

cd ~/temp/boot/ramfs
find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ../boot.img-ramdisk.gz

Pack boot.img

cd ~/temp
./mkbootimg --kernel boot/boot.img-zImage --ramdisk boot/boot.img-ramdisk.gz --base 0×10000000 --pagesize 2048 -o boot.img

Flash boot.img

adb reboot bootloader

[HTC One X] duffydake:
Hi,

You can install KitKat rom with CWM (there is also usb storage).

First you need to change HbBoot to a compatible version. I don't remember all compatible versions for KitKat but the 1.39 works.

I guess you've got the "set_metadata_recursive ...." error when you try to flash your rom ?

If it's the case, download update-binary from here : xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2532300

and replace it in both, your rom and gapps and then you will be able to flash.

[HTC One X] duffydake:
I get mine here : d-h.st/users/ClydeB1/?fld_id=8110

but with your CID there is no 1.39 version only 1.36, but maybe you can install kitkat with 1.36.

Try , you will see.

EDIT:

In Carbon KitKat updater-script there is : getprop("ro.bootloader") == "1.33.0000" || getprop("ro.bootloader") == "1.36.0000" || getprop("ro.bootloader") == "1.39.0000"

[HTC One X] Tim Harker:
You can try updating your recovery to the latest version of CWM such as 6.0.4.6 (AT&T) or 6.0.4.8 (International) depending on which version of HOX you have. This would then allow you to install Kitkat;)
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Please do not mention AT&T in here. People with the international hox might get that wrong and start flashing it.......wrong. only recommend recoveries from here and this forum only. This is for the international hox not the at&t. Let's not confuse users ;)
