This is only a custom recovery, it will not fix your phone, it's a step towards fixing it.

What version of Android were you using? Asking because to tell you which rom to flash I will need to know which rom you had previously.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artasdmc:
Hello everyone.

I really need some help.

So I was rooting and trying to flash Omni rom to my i9100.

Used this root and CWM. http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/philz-cwm6-stock-kernel-cwm6-root-exfat-t1877270

Installed it through stock recovery. Everything was good.

Then i went to make a backup in CWM, it didn't complete.

And then I downloaded omni rom, did a factory reset, wiped dalvik and normal caches.

Then I tried to install it. It stopped and i received an error.

Now I'm in a bootloop. Only seeing Samsung Galaxy s2 logo, then a black screen and that logo again.

After seeing logo 2 times I'm in CWM.

How do I fix this? How do I even flash Omni rom?

This is the log:

Hi!

Please, could you recommend some applications and/or ROM which could help me achieve these things on my Nexus 5?

1. I'd like more customizable Android overall (guess any more advanced custom ROM would achieve it?).

2. A use for the drop-down top menu (or what it is called), from my old HTC I'm used it to show recent apps, however a brightness slider there would be also nice.

3. Customizable home-button pressed menu.

4. Long-pressed back button=menu.

Thanks :)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gerblekiller:
Hi guys,

I want to root my nexus 5 to get access to the root applications available but I am afraid of the repercussions of rooting. First of all, I want to keep my phone stock because I really like my phone the way it is. Pure android. So installing a custom rom is out of the question for me.

Here are some of my questions

1) Does rooting delete all current apps I have ?

2) Would I still be able to install OTA update from google after rooting?

3) Is the unroot process just as easy as rooting ?

Thanks in advance !

I rooted for the same reason as you. IMO there is no longer need for custom roms. It's not like the days of ics etc. Kk is great as it is. Once you do root though it's hard not to want to wipe all the bloat apps out and put a good kernel in. Just make a full nandroid back up. You can't go wrong reading the above and google kindly provided the factory images. But read read read then make a cup of tea and read some more!

i dont know if anyone can help me with this or i am just being thick and its allready possible to do, but i am having a horrible time with setting up my applications and using the internet.

I use quite a few applications that ask for either a network (Resco for acessing my files on my computer) and also the internet (mail, PIE etc).

i cant seem to strike a balance between these programs and the possible connections (Wi-fi / gprs), if i set up my internet connection as a proxy with the deatils for my acess point at home then i can get my files on my comp and acess to the internet. but as soon as i leave the bubble of my home then everything goes haywire.

is there a way to set up a hieracy and advanced rules for what connections to use for what programs and when? and possibly an option to ask before dialing a gprs connection?

any help would be great

Thanks for the quick reply! What exactly is this file? Is it a new kernel? Or does it simply edit the configurations relating to tethering? Also can I go back to 100% stock after flashing it?

Also will this prevent me from being able to update the OS via Samsung push updates?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dcharleyultra:
It is not new firmware. It's just a modified services.jar file. Since it's a hack, you will not be 100% stock after installing it. (You can get back to it by restoring the stock files (.jar and .odex files).

Has anyone upgraded their P5210 to the new release XAR-P5210UEUANB2? I downloaded the firmware last night but am debating loading it. I have multiple backups so if anything goes awry I can put my tablet back to the way I like it. Just trying to figure out if it would benefit me to move to the new version. Couldn't find what the difference was between the new version and the XAR-P5210UEUAMK1 version.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Tatdude806:
No Difference

I have noticed no difference in any way... I am thinking this might be prep for 4.4.2, they have done this with other Galaxy Models include the Note 3 prior to 4.4.2...

Let's hope...
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Brian D:
I find it interesting that a new release was available but very little on what was added/changed/deleted. Well at least nothing that I could find. I might be looking in the wrong places. So, a precursor to 4.4.x release? That could be so. But I have to ask myself if I want to upgrade to KK or not. What will it bring to the Tab 3 10.1 P5210 table? I guess that will be the deciding factor.

Some minor API changes, obviously they are getting prepared for a major update and they try not to break anything.

[Motorola Atrix HD] russian392:
On the stock 4.1.1 rom i could reach wifi from my modem at about 60 feet or even more. I could stand at the farthest point in my house and still get 2 out of 4 bars on wifi. I loaded slimkat and although it was a good rom it lagged to much, and now im on the latest cm11 nightly, but both roms gave poor wifi performance, i could barely reach it from 20 feet. It would connect but i couldn't really use the internet cause the signal was so bad.

Anyone else have this problem? I have a 2wire modem if anyone is wondering.
[Motorola Atrix HD] russian392:
bump
[Motorola Atrix HD] mauchito:
I have been having issues with Wi-Fi, but it's my provider fault. So no, no issues so far. I'm on a Carbon ROM nightly. BTW, you don't need to "bump".
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
What frequency does your router use? 2.4 or 5 ghz? And how many walls is it going through? Mine uses both and I get good reception up till my fence line, about 40ft away from the router behind a brick wall and some windows, using 2.4 whereas 5 will barely make it out of the house. I have a Western Digital router, not sure of the model number, but it was a cheapo from Walmart.

That said, wifi has been strange with custom roms on 4.4 with some people. For some of us it seems to be just fine where others have poor or no signal. The following is speculation based on what I've noticed lately --- Makes me wonder if some phones have revision B of the wifi chip when development team is using A, or something like that. The RAZR HD was having similar issues caused by different chipset revisions when KitKat first came out and maybe we're having the same. --- End speculation.
[Motorola Atrix HD] russian392:
I understand there maybe many factors why the signal is weak, but its the fact that after i changed the rom the reception became worse.

Im using a 2.4 GHz i think. Mine has to go through a floor because its in the basment and from the floor goes through 2 walls to get to my room where before i flashed kit kat i got 2 bars just fine and could use the internet and now it doesn't even get signal. Before flashing kit kat i could get 2 bars in my sisters room (floor and around 3 walls and furniture around 50 feet away). Its a big house so...but its never been this bad even with my old phone! which is an lg optimus one.
[Motorola Atrix HD] russian392:
after doing extensive research on the kit kat update, turns out this is a location services/wifi chip conflict and this pretty much renders the wifi chip useless. so unless your router is strong (and mine isnt) you wont get good wifi connection anywhere.

One way to sort of fix it is to do the following.

1. Go to Settings>Location Services> Device only (basically so it would not use the wifi and this would free up some bandwidth for your phone).

2. Go to Settings>Wifi>Advanced>Turn the Eco mode/ Battery saver mode OFF

This will increase performance of the wifi chip and stop google from using up your wifi to track you (lol)

This also seems to drastically increase battery performance, I loose about 1 percent every 5 minutes with screen off. Right now i am at 78% and not going down at all while my screen is on. So...i guess the battery saver thing drains battery??? (idk maybe a cm bug).

Hope this helps anyone who has this problem on kit kat. By the way turning off location services does 2 bad things, renders certain apps useless and 2, does not help wifi (idk why).

EDIT

Its been around 10 minutes and battery isn't going down
[Motorola Atrix HD] mauchito:
I don't see the Eco Mode, maybe is just a feature of the ROM you are using? I see Wi-Fi optimization (minimize battery usage when Wi-Fi is on), is that it?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Silentwidow:
Yea that is the one he is referring to. Btw, I personally don't have WiFi issues on my roms, go back to stock if you get a chance and see if the wifi is still failing, it may just be that 2-Wire.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Hmmm. I'm already doing #1, haven't bothered taking a #2, I mean trying #2 ever....My wifi is set to go on and off with the screen and I only connect to trusted networks, for me, there never has been reason to use #1 between paranoia and wanting to save battery life.

Good finds, it'll be worth watching logs when those settings are enable/disabled to see if any errors pop up.

---------- Post added at 08:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 AM ----------

He did go to stock and it worked just fine -- in the OP....errr, at least said that it works with stock just fine.
[Motorola Atrix HD] russian392:
Yes i did go back to stock to check if it was the phone or the rom. It is the kit kat os...many other devices are reporting this problem.

Also noticed a CM bug, the camera has a hard time saving video over 10 seconds long and also the google play music app reboots the device for some reason...anyone else with this?

For now i am getting close to usual wifi after changing my settings around although it is still only 60-70% as strong as it should be :/
[Motorola Atrix HD] russian392:
Yes that is what it is...i just called it eco mode but yes it is the wifi optimization thingy
[Motorola Atrix HD] tork0112:
I flashed the pa moto ROM and with the WiFi, I had great signal, it just would not connect. To any router at all. It would sit at saved and never attempt to connect.
[Motorola Atrix HD] russian392:
sometimes i get that too on CM. It wont connect to wifi till i literally come right up to the modem, otherwise if im walking around the house it wont even see the signal (if im moving around). I have to stop, stand there for like 2 minutes till it finds the signal. Usually if its 1-2 bars of wifi it wont even bother to try to connect.

This is a huge kit kat bug.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Arjomer:
I always have had problems with WiFi, even on stock (because of a 3rd world internet provider).. But I can't download anything con google play... I download at 10kbps per second, but downloading from other apps or browser Its decent like 2-3mb/s. How can I fix this?
[Motorola Atrix HD] russian392:
now that i dont know.

My problem isn't internet speed. Even here in the USA i get 70kbps internet because to get anything more than that i need to pay 2 or 3 times more and i already pay 30 bucks a month for 70kb. But the problem is the signal, i cant get signal in my bedroom on kit kat rom, but i can on stock.

your problem? i really dont know, try clearing data on the play store, rebooting the phone and trying again. its probably a play store issue
[Motorola Atrix HD] Arjomer:
Yeah.. I hope we could get a decent wifi reception on kk. And I already done that, Should I flash other gapps?
[Motorola Atrix HD] nukesnooper:
I flashed the Pac Man 4.4.2 ROM on my kids Atrix HD, and that was the first thing I noticed. I was doing the work at my desk, which is located about 5' (with a typical wall in between) from my AT&T (Motorola) wireless router. Prior to that; I got full bars on the Wi-Fi signal strength meter anywhere within a 50-60-' radius. After I did the upgrade from Pac Man 4.3; sitting at my desk, 5' away from the router; I was only getting 3 bars - which - still works, but is a significant degradation in Wi-Fi performance. Sitting at the same desk, or anywhere on my property with either my Samsung S4 or Note 3, I have full bars, and full speed. Both of my Sammy's are running the stock AT&T KK update, unrooted - but living for the day that an exploit becomes available.

In fact; when I turn the corner onto my street (my house is the second house) my Sammy's connect to my router before I reach my driveway. Now, bear in mind; I have the power of my router turned up to a full 10. The router is located inside my bedroom closet near the ceiling, with no external antennas. I have it bridged to a dual band D-Link router for 5GHz with the 2GHz disabled. I carefully used a spectrum analyzer / logger to sweep the area for the best channels, as well. All that being said; I don't think much of that is relevant to the decreased Wi-Fi- performance of the Atrix HD, since it worked similarly to the Sammy's before the 4.4.2 bump.
[Motorola Atrix HD] russian392:
I'm also on at&t except with a 2wire router. I had to move the router around to get slightly better signal. But still. I would sit in my friends house and I could use his parents houses WiFi (on the same property) and get 2 bars. Now its none.
[Motorola Atrix HD] nukesnooper:
I had a 2Wire until last summer and it was a pretty decent router with decent coverage. I modified it by adding two external antennas and only made a slight difference. that was before rooting, tweaking, etc. The Motorola router is much better with respect to signal coverage - without any modifications.

The issue that I'm having, now is that I'm experiencing significantly less Wi Fi performance with the Atrix HD after I did the operating system upgrade. The other two stock phones are still working as well, or better than expected after the 4.4.2 update.
[Motorola Atrix HD] russian392:
Are you using official 4.4?
[Motorola Atrix HD] nukesnooper:
On the two Sammy's; I'm using Official AT&T 4.4.2 (Gag).

On the Atrix HD, Pac Man 4.4.2 PAC version 4.4.Alpha-1. Me smells a rat. I thought that this was a later version of that ROM. It was dates 03/08/14, which was the latest one listed, so I though I was in good shape. Hummm....

First of all, this is NOT my work! All credit goes to the author that is linked below!

I had a hard time finding a S4 Accuweather that worked on a ODEX 4.3 for my Note 2. My Note 2 is just rooted and has no custom recovery and ofcourse it´s all stock ODEX. I tried alot of different ones on the forum but not a single one worked. Then I got a tip that the stock 4.3 is the same as the S3 so I started to check it out...

Viola... I found one that worked! In the Galaxy S3 forum! :laugh:

So... here it is! Just push and replace the Accuweatherwidget.apk (it had to be renamed first) to system/app and set the permissions and reboot. It´s all in the original thread below! Leave the *.odex as it is! It´s possible that you have to clear the data of both the Accuweatherwidget.apk, weatherdaemon.apk AND accuweatherwidget_main.apk to get it to work. I did just in case! I also got the tip to push the Accuweatherwidget.apk a second time and reboot, if the widget didn´t turn up in the widgetlist.

It gets the correct S4 widget but this one keeps the old weather-app itself... just as shown in my screenshots. But the main part is that it works! And it works on a ODEX stock Note 2 4.3
