Congrats for researching, mate... I dunno if anyone else feels this way, but there seems to have been an influx of semi-retarded users posting recently saying things like "why won't my Sony Ericsson P990 flash???"... ok it's a bit of an exaggeration, but they're still bloody dum questions!

Like you when I found this site, I spent at least 2 days researching before I even tried to modify anything and everything I searched for came up with appropriate answers... in DEPTH! And the pay-off was quick and painless as a result... my universal now works - full stop. With the O2 ROM, it was a bag of poo compared to what it was made for, and I say that after 8 months or so of usage with original ROM.

I will be pointing resident idiots to this thread too from now on. Many thanks for your intelligence, it's what contributes to this site being as great as it is :D

Geez. this is the first time I've seen this post. That was like the XDA Developers Hall of Fame at the beginning. Anyway, congrats to the original poster and all who learned the right way. Mods can we re-title this thread "The Perfect Newbie" and make it a sticky to replace some of the outdated ones?

To be or not to be Noob ........

There are loads skulkers like myself that have never bothered to post.

I bow to the superior knowledge of the Windows Mobile gods and keep my trap shut until I have learned / read enough to say something intelligent on the topic.

Most things are clearly labled and easy to find.

Some of the useless post just add clutter and makes it difficult to find the truely useful info.

There will always be impatient PFY's and noob's that can't be bothered to search.

I'm pretty sure I hard bricked my S3. I go to turn it on and all it will do is vibrate once. I can't get into download, or recovery. Before that it would get stuck at the galaxy s3 boot image, and I could get into both download and recovery. I tried factory reset and what not and well now I'm here.

Okay, how do I download to external SD? I got a new HTC One M8, and I can't seem to figure out how to download it directly to my SD card
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Just move it to your SD card after downloading
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] H4rryTipp3r:
I tried that using ES File Explorer, but it won't work for some reason. Then I switched my download folder on Opera to my external SD, but now every time I try to download something using Opera it fails. So I switched it back to my internal downloads folder and it works again.... so idk what to do.... Are you still on the E4GT by the way?

I still have it, but my main device is the S3, are you able to connect your phone to a PC? Just move the file to external SD from your PC.

I see a Google Play Edition ROM was created for the HTC One M8... My heart was set on the S5, but that ROM makes me question my decision. All I want is a pure Android experience, nothing more. Before I pull the trigger I thought I'd ask the experts. Do you think there will be a Google Play Edition-Like ROM created for the S5? Thanks...

[Moto X Q&A] chapaa247:
Today i downgraded my moto x to 4.2.2 because i had rooted it and wanted to return it to stock and the ROM for my country wasnt abailable on kit kat, now i tried to upload it again to kit kat and the update sent me to fastboot where i got an error message which said the following

"downgraded security version update gpt_main version failed

Failed to hab check for gpt_backup: 0x35

CId Read Failure

Invalid CID status 0x69

CustomerID error. Contact Dealer: 0xdead

No SP partition found"

Anybody knows what this means? any help is apreciated!

Another thing is that my bootloader shows up like locked which is weird because its actually unlocked
[Moto X Q&A] aldouse:
What were you on before you downgraded?
[Moto X Q&A] Arak-Nafein:
This sounds like the infamous downgrade brick?
[Moto X Q&A] chapaa247:
I downgraded with RSD erasing the "gpt" and "motoboot" lines from the default_flash so i could do it, later on i downloaded de 4.4.2 directly from the phone and once it finished downloading it started updating and sent me directly to fastboot showing this error.

the firmware that i downloaded to do the downgrade was this "Blur_Version.139.12.35.ghost_row.Personal.en. AR"

The bootloader is unlocked and showing locked .

unfourtunatly i couldnt find a 4.4 firmware for my carrier so i wasnt able to find a kit kat firmware to flash and see if i could get it running, i tried with another firmware from the region where i live and flashed it but couldnt make it work with RSD nor fastboot.
[Moto X Q&A] :
Yup, been many debates on here about whether its safe to downgrade from 4.4.2 or not.....and I've read enough here now that I simply advise not to. Period. Unless you can afford a replacement easily....in case bad things happen.

Many disagree, but I stand by this advice.

Where are you at currently?? You can beat up or not? Have you tried reflashing 4.4.2? Or what have you tried?

Anyway, before doing anything else...I suggest reading the thread about how to unbrick. I don't know the link off hand....but it may help.

Good luck. ?

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 34158245:
So I rooted my device, and tried to unroot it because it was stuck at the blue kindle fire logo and wouldnt boot up to the actual os. Now the device only shows the orange logo, but won't go past that. Additionally, the volume up button does not make it enter fastboot. Oh and to top things off, the ADB doesnt recognize the device anymore. Instead of doing the logical thing and stopping at the first sign of an issue and coming here for help, I tried a few kindle fire recovery things from this site, but none of them seemed to make it work.

Here's what (little) else I know:

Superuser is no longer installed

I tried reinstalling Superuser.apk a while ago but system/app was read only

:crying:

Is anyone capable of helping me?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
You need to enter fastboot mode, if it is a 8.9" model then a fastboot cable won't help. When it turns on it should initially show up as a jem device in the device manager, you have to install the driver when it shows up briefly, once you have the driver installed you just need to run "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and then plug the kindle in while it is off, it should then go into fastboot where you can restore it with kindle fire first aid or SRT.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainreynolds:
I have a similar problem with mine. Could you explain a little more clearly?

"You need to enter fastboot mode, if it is a 8.9" model then a fastboot cable won't help."

Do you mean that you cannot use fastboot over a terminal/command line on a computer connected to the tablet via a USB cable? Because that has not been my experience
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 34158245:
Okay, so I got into fastboot mode on my computer and it sees the device when I input fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product. I used SRT to flash the second option, images/system2.img and I got this confirmation:

sending 'system' (907264 KB)...

It's been 40 minutes and I haven't gotten any change/update in the command line output. How long should this take/will it make things worse if I stop it?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
I don't think things can get any worse if you pull it when it's not finished since it is the system partition, you will just have to try reflashing it again.

I mean a fastboot cable normally puts a kindle into fastboot mode, that's the purpose of it. On a 8.9" model they don't do this, hence the method I mentioned. This is what I have learned from all the resources on xda, I don't have a 8.9" model to test for myself though.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainreynolds:
So just close the window doing the flash operation and try again?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Sure, wouldn't recommend it if it does that on a boot partition but there's not much else you can do when it hangs.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainreynolds:
I can't get any fastboot commands to actually do anything! I enter them all correctly and nothing works. Any ideas?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
If it says waiting for device and never did anything check the device manager and see if there's a jem device sitting there with a yellow triangle next to it. I'm about to nod off so let me say this, if you already did this I am half asleep so sorry for mentioning this again. Did you run "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" then plug the device in while off and it show a fastboot logo? If no then its a driver issue.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Austexcat:
I know this has been discussed in other threads, but I have to give my recent account and hope it helps others. I have a rooted Nexus 5. I used the One Click Root which was an unbelievably easy root. I am using stock KitKat. I tried finding a phone call recorder, but nothing would work. I finally found the Total Recall app, which worked for a while but decided it was going to work some days but not others. On any given day it would work for a few hours, quit for several and then start again. I emailed back and forth with Killer Mobile, but nothing worked. After reading through the XDA forums on the subject I stumbled across a couple of threads regarding the Call Recorder App from Skvalex. I heard some good things about it so I downloaded it along with Skvalex's AlsaMixer. I read somewhere that you needed that app as well. Don't know if that's true, but I downloaded AlsaMixer first and then Call Recorder. Call Recorder works great. I get a clear sound from both ends of the conversation and it works all the time. I have a week before I have to pay for it, but I can't figure out how to pay. You download the app for free, and in the settings there is a place that says to "buy the full version", but when you do it takes you to Google Play and the download. Beats me. Anyway, the app is working great for me. I don't know how it would work if you are not rooted or are flashing a different ROM. But if you are rooted and with stock KitKat, then this should work for you.

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] skvalex:
You should uninstall a trial version before purchase the app. ALSA isn't required for CAF recording method which is default for Nexus 5.

Call recorder

I did uninstall it and installed the pay app. It works just as well as the beta version. I'm sold. I will uninstall AlsaMixer.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] danarama:
That explains why I thought I didn't need alsa then. Was surprised on my aosp rom that it only records my side of the conversation without alsa. I didn't realise stock was CAF.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] crazyc78:
I have had annoying ongoing problem of my phone needing to restart due to my Sim card being removed. I have not removed my sim card at all and it has been happening since I have updated to the newest modem NB4. My setup is as follows the Insane Kit Kat Rom V5 with the included Kernel. To note this has happened since updating to the new NB4 modem. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] _eroz:
Nope, so far nothing fixes it other than exchanging your phone and hoping the replacement is fine. There is a thread over on the AT&T forum where people, me included, are having this problem. I've replaced the SIM card, SIM card holder, returned to an earlier nandroid when I did not have this problem. I've also unsynced the play store thinking it had something to do with it since it would always occur when I had an app update waiting for me. So far nothing has fixed it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
I started getting this same message a while back when on Wicked v10 and mk2 baseband. It wasn't the ROM's fault because I was using the ROM for a few months without problems. I updated to NB4 baseband and the same thing was happening. Flashed a 4.4.2 Rom didn't help. it hasn't happened since I flashed Insane kk v5.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] _eroz:
Really?? That's great, hopefully it stays working great. What kernel are you using?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vinniej:
I was having the same problem and I did 2 things:

1) I verified I had no foreign debris or anything in the sim card slot. Took a can of compressed air and blew it out.

2) I re'Odin'ed the modem again (twice as mentioned in @shiamatsu thread)

It seems to have fixed things for me. Good luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] crazyc78:
I will try all of these suggestions that I have seen so far. What about Odining back to stock and then rooting again? Like I have stated previously I have started seeing this issue since updating to the NB4 Modem and Insane KK. I am sure it isn't the ROM, so I will stick with Insane KK because it is a nice ROM. If anything changes I will report back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vinniej:
Well, I'm going to take back what I said about fixing it. Sim card removed error happened again. I managed to get a logcat, and dmesg. I have not seen any smoking guns in the logs so I'm going to try a different kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] crazyc78:
Let me know what kernel you use.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vinniej:
I had Talexop's and switched to Ktoonsez's (TW 4.4.2). I did get another error after switching so I'm not sold on a kernel issue either.

I think I'm going to retrace my steps and start from the ground up. I jumped directly from the MDL modem directly to NB4. Maybe I need to go MDL>MK2>NB4?? Maybe try a different Odin version? Switch USB ports on my desktop? Different cable? I'm going to keep trying different things until I get it fixed. It is quite an annoyance because the error happens at times when the phone is asleep and you obviously cannot get any calls, messages, etc.

I'll keep the thread updated for sure.
