[HTC One Mini] morschesholz:
Hello folks,

has anyone here encountered the problem of getting a new partition layout with the 4.4.2 OTA update?

My One Mini is pretty new. Just got it last week. In the beginning I got several OTA updates and have been on 3.10.111.4 (German T-Mobile) eventually with a HBOOT 2.22. By the way, I'm still S-ON.

Unfortunately it seems as if the partition layout has been changed with the OTA update. Here is someone else reporting a similar effect: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51181357

So the usual m4 recoveries didn't work (due to mismatch of the partitions). In this thread there is a TWRP 2.7.0.5 with modified fstab which allows installing roms to the new partition layout.

Then I wanted to flash the 3.10.401.4 version over here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2665746) to get an international version with root, busybox, unsecured boot.img, etc.

What I did now is to modify the installer-script to mount the correct partition to /system (i.e., now /dev/block/mmcblk0p35 instead of /dev/block/mmcblk0p33). Afterwards I fastboot-flashed to boot.img from the same zip.

Everything is working fine so far except there is one issue: I did a phone storage encryption and now the modified TWRP can't decrypt /data. It always tells me the password is wrong (which definitely isn't). During normal boot my password is accepted and everything's working fine.

So any ideas what's the problem here? Is it just a TWRP issue or is it probably related to a wrong boot.img (since it's one for the old partition layout)?

At this point can anyone give me a clue if the partition layout is included with the boot.img? If so, does the system depend on these informations (e.g. during encryption process)?. What about the recovery? Does it depend on the boot.img, too?

Or does it always and only come down to what is written in the fstab either in system or recovery?

I appreciate any help or hint.

maybe this thread will answer your question http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2677919&page=2 maybe you need the updatted twrp. also by any chance do you know if it possible to flash this rom after already updating to 4.4.2 via OTA ? i tried it and had to use my twrp backup. glad i made one this time.
[HTC One Mini] morschesholz:
Thanks for your reply, but the link you provided refers to the same thread I was talking of. The updated TWRP is the version I used and it is not working with encrypted data partitions.

Which ROM are you talking of? The 3.10.401.4 version from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2665746 ? Then yes, you can:

As far as I can tell you'll only get problems after full storage encryption.

However, anyone else who encountered similar issues? Still hoping for a clue. :confused:
[HTC One Mini] romy134:
It seems a little difficult to do it now. I had stock 4.4.2 via ota. And when I tried to root it i wasn't able to find the update via recovery. So i had to update the version of twrp. With the updated i tried flashing but it failed like 3 times. And I had to restore via twrp backup. Will i be able to flash deodex 4.4.2 with thw updated twrp?
[HTC One Mini] morschesholz:
I made a new thread to share my insights so far: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2713849

[AT&T LG G2] Krayziepop:
So I don't even really know what could have caused this to happen. About a week after installing the hybrid 4.2.2/4.4.2 with root, I lost the rotation function on the device. I haven't really thought much about it because life has kept me busy. Today I installed the Sensor Box utility and this is what I discovered.

All of the system sensors appear to be borked... I have messed around with Xposed, with only the following modules installed...

I nabbed a quick Logcat, but I'm not sure how useful it will be, given there is no sensor activity to be seen in it.

https://app.box.com/s/3arevdb3ldwllcnj0lge

If anybody has a clue of what I might have done here, I'd certainly appreciate the help. I will probably have to reinstall the ROM, which I do believe will fix the issue, but for now I am trying to avoid that route until I'm out of options.

FWIW, I have disabled any customizations I have installed to see if it would help, but to no avail. I have also installed the 3 available radios hoping to trigger something but no change there either.

Thanks in advance!

So, following the tutorial that has been made for Idol X mini HERE and since i had already the scatter file from my C7 Vodafone ES, today i had on my hands a new C7 from Vodafone RO. So i have made a full backup from this phone using SP Flash v5.1408.00 without even opening it. So this back-up it's a fresh one with no initialisation on phone. Also it has the extra img of cache and userdata.

You can find all the files HERE . On attached image it's the backup address used and also the scatter file.

[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] rictec:
you didnt flash stock KK first

all lolipop ports need be be installed after the device as Stock KitKat because of the partitions

you now have to install stock with sp flash tool to solve that
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] mapleTree:
I'm really sorry, but I don't understand. What I understand is:

-Download the sp flash tools

-Download a zip of the stock (4.2.2 ?)

-Flash that zip through sp flash tools

-Then flash the cm zip through sp flash tools

Questions:

-Where is the stock zip to be found?

-Can I keep my ClockWorkMod recovery or do I have to flash the stock one too?

Anyway, thanks for the help:)
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] mapleTree:
I didn't see this in a tutorial, but I can describe the process for you. (You need a windows computer)

-Go download the Kingo Application onto your windows computer

-Open the downloaded file and install the kingo program

-Launch the installed program (search for "kingo" in win 7)

-Enable USB debugging on your phone

-Connect you device to your computer

-In the program on the computer, click ROOT

-Wait for it, it may take a bit

-Thats it!

Note: This will install the KingUser App on your device to controll root access. If you want to switch to SuperSU, the way I did it was install the Link2sd app from the play store, remove the KingoRoot app and then install SuperSU from the play store.

[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] BoBo Ricky NL:
This is the video where hell started for me CVAngelo because the second time i selected the PreLoader DONT DO THAT !! But this rom realy works on your phone, it does gives you an error that sim2 card is not detected and my oppinion not the best rom @ all. But it has KitKat and KitKat CWM which allows you to install roms like Pacman and CM12.1 ( last one verry buggy ) Without this "upgrade to kitkat" you wouldnt be able to flash the Pacman or an other CWM based rom without getting a boot loop. And without using SP Flashtools. There is an entire Facebook page with a lot of roms and tweaks, its in spannish but GIYF and they dont hasitate to help if you stuck with a problem. Just do as i did and leave the BootLoader for what it is. It wont brick every phone as cablecrasher proofed but that was for 7041x so just leave the Preloader then u would be fine. You can always go back to stock with the upgradetool... And to awnser your sceptisism CVangelo, i was sceptic to but also the guys behind further roms like Pacman state this is the best stock KitKat to start from. They dont say a model nmbr. Just an Alcatel Pop c7 thats it.. So i guess as always !! DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK !!

Another Question from me:

Mobile Upgrade S says I have the latest firmware installed and closes. How can I still use it to (re)flash the latest firmware on my phone?
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] CVAngelo:
I do not know the answer to the question. But I imagine the answer depends on whether the KitKat ROM uses a different kernel that the JB ROM. If the KK kernel is different, the CWM recovery for JB may not be compatible.

In any event, I have always made my custom CWM myself using MTK Droid Tools and SP Flash. It is a very low risk operation because you are never going to come anywhere near the bootloader.

Simply readback the Boot.img from the KitKat ROM on the phone. (You will need the scatter.txt for the ROM, and you get that by using MTK Droid tools). Once you have the boot.img just use MTK Droid to create the CWM recovery that is compatible with your ROM. Then flash the new CWM to the phone using SP Flash (you're flashing just the CWM to the recovery partition...again, use the scatter.txt to figure out exactly where to flash it to.) Then pull the battery, replace it and reboot the phone. Now turn the phone off again and reboot into recovery mode and you should be all set with the CWM that is compatible with your phones kernel.

Keep us posted.

---------- Post added at 09:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------

Can you be a little bit clearer in terms of what you are trying to do? If Mobile Upgrade S says you already have the latest OFFICIAL firmware that has been released for your phone, then why would you want to reflash this same firmware?

What part of the latest firmware do you think is broken? And if you think some partition is broken, why don't you reflash just that partition with SP Flash? Of course, you already know you should not be directly flashing to the pre-loader or mobileinfo partitions as you potentially could end up bricking your phone or causing serious problems.

---------- Post added at 10:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 AM ----------

Hi Rick. So this was where it all started. Hahaha. Thanks for the great advice. But now we know how to solve even this headache that you had. Lol.

So I am not too skeptical about bricking. I just don't want the headache of recovering from a brick. The other thing I noticed in all this discussion about the official KK ROM for the 7041X is that it doesn't recognize the SIM2 on my phone. I can't afford that. I work in a country where you MUST have two working SIMs to do business effectively, otherwise I will need two phones! Lol

Finally, there is NO WAY I'm gonna use a buggy version of Cyanogen Mod. Here in Africa, phones are stolen constantly. So I have a rooted anti-theft app on my phone that uses GPS. So if GPS is buggy, then I know I will end up unable to recover my phone in case of theft. And phones here cost double the price you pay in Europe. I've rooted and installed this anti-theft software on dozens of my client's phones. I have recovered every single one of the phones that were stolen to the shock of the dumb thieves. Some of the stolen phones were missing for up to 3 months...but in the end, I always get them back. My point is that I can't afford a buggy ROM. Lol.

[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] CVAngelo:
Never seen this error so perhaps everything isn't correct:

1. Are you sure you got the correct boot.img off the ROM?

2. Do you have the correct ADB drivers loaded up for your phone (can you, for example, access the phone via ADB commands at the Windows Command Prompt)?

3. Are you running MTK Droid Tools as Administrator?

4. Have you set USB Debugging to ON on your phone?

5. By the way, is your phone rooted and have you installed Busy Box? (This isn't necessary to create a CWM recovery for your phone). I'm just curious about the status of your device.

[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] rictec:
not at all

No xposed just copy files and change permissions

what recovery is telling you is it cant Mount a sdcard cos no sdcard exists for it to mount

if you trying to install a zip from somewhere else you need to check if its not that zip that needs a sdcard to work

a cant mount /sdcard message can be at least 3 things

- it is looking to wrong device

- its not formated

-there isnt one inserted

on startup cm recovery tries to mount a sdcard
