[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Protogon:
I'm going to get it out of the way before you get bombarded, but you should have S-OFF'd prior to flashing. Not that it's strictly necessary, it just reduces the chances of things like this happening (by a lot). Plus, it removes the need to separately flash boot.img from the ROM you're flashing (probably what happened here). For future reference: Facepalm S-OFF

Okay, so, now that we've gotten that out of the way...

What do you mean by can't get into recovery? I mean what exactly happens when you try? How do you try getting into recovery? Have you tried to flash recovery again?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Your phone isn't bricked, a brick is when your device won't power on. I agree with Protogon, you should get s-off as soon as possible. Like he said it isn't actually necessary as such but it is going to save you a lot of trouble. Your problem is probably just that you didn't flash the boot.img from the ROM zip via fastboot after flashing the ROM. This step is necessary when you're s-on, you can find detailed instructions on how to do it in my How-To Guide For Beginners thread in my signature.

What do you mean by you can't get into recovery? Is that because your phone is looping constantly? If so, just hold the volume down button constantly and the next time it begins the loop it should boot into the bootloader instead. Do not let go of the volume down button until you're actually in the bootloader screen. If holding the volume down button by itself doesn't work, the next time it starts the loop hold power + volume down together until the screen goes black, then release the power button but keep holding volume down until you reach the bootloader.

Also please tell us the recovery version you're using.

Ultra sorry for not responding to this.

Miraculously, I got it working. Did an OTA update to m6 for CM11.

Noticed my phone was crashing every few hours so I wanted to install it fresh.

Unfortunately, now I've wiped my sdcard which had the zip file on it.

I'm now stuck trying to sideload, but when I try the adb devices command, it doesn't show anything and my

computer doesn't recognize it. I have SDK Manager, and everything is installed up to Android 4.4.2 (API 19).

I'm not sure what my next steps should be. I literally can't get my computer to realize my phone is plugged it,

so I can't push anything. Any ideas?

Have you tried mounting the sd card from TWRP recovery?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chugzlol:
I literally don't know what keeps happening, but somehow after trying the same thing over and over again,

eventually it works. I had to keep trying to mount it and trying to push to it, and eventually it recognized my device.

I think by uninstalling an older driver, this allowed me to get the adb devices command to actually work.

Then I just had to push CM with gapps, and then flash the boot.img.

Honestly, thank you for writing the post regardless. Hopefully this doesn't happen again, but I do appreciate the help!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dabasdabas:
Hi, I’m having a problem with the HTC Notes App on my Rogers HTC One. I have backed up a copy of the folder ".data\HtcNotes" on the SD card, thinking that this folder contains all my notes files. I then wiped my phone and started setup as a new phone. I tried restoring my backed up notes by replacing the folder ".data\HtcNotes" with the one I had backed up earlier but the Notes App does not recognize the restored files. the Notes App works fine, i.e I can create new notes without any problems.

Also, when I try to open the "contentE.html" stored for each note inside subfolders of ".data\HtcNotes", I get unreadable characters. This happens for my new and properly functioning notes as well. Does the Notes App store content in a non-standard html format?. It used to be that the Notes app stored the content in a file called "content.html" which was a normally readable html format, but now it stores in the non-readable " "contentE.html" file.

Please advise how to recover the content of my notes...is there a way I can open the "contentE.html" files in a readable format?. My notes are not synched to the clouds and are stored only locally on the phone.

Thanks

thanks for the suggestion, I am able to open the "contentE.html" of my old notes using an html editor or browser, but the file contains unreadable characters, as if I'm opening a binary file inside a text editor. The same thing happens for any new notes I create.

I remember in earlier versions of Android, the Notes app used to store the content in a file called "content.html" which was a normally readable html format, but now it stores it in a "contentE.html" file which is not readable by html editors...

attached is an example of the "contentE.html" file from a new note I've just created, it's supposed to be titled "w1" and contain only the word hello...if you try to open it you'll understand what I'm trying to describe...can you guys please check the "contentE.html" on your phone and let me know if you're able to open the file properly outside the Notes app...thanks...

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoenipx:
Try this, create a new note in the HTC Notes app and save it (If it doesn't save, just write random words and exit, it should save then), then go to your .data/HtcNotes folder, find the folder that contains the note you just created. There should be an existing "ContentE.html" file. Delete it and replace it with the file you want to restore.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
I think you're wasting your time, just having the ContentIE.hml file won't be enough, the actual database is stored in /data/data/com.htc.notes (i think), and without that, the app can't link to the contents of the sdcard.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpc007:
My data folder is indeed empty. However, can't it just be enough to have the raw files from the .data/htcnotes/ folder? I have those, every note exists of a folder with a PNG and a HTML file. They're just not recognised by the Notes App.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Yes, but unless i'm mistaken, the Notes app will rely on the database file, which in turn would link to the contents on the sdcard... so even if the contents weren't on the sdcard they would still show up in the notes app, but not vice versa.

And I don't know of any way to reconstruct the database file.... maybe try searching for that.

Nobody found a way yet? right?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromatix:
If you have a backup of your data (or data partition), you need to restore the contents of /data/data/com.htc.provider.notes (as well as com.htc.notes, i think) and set the file permissions by ES file explorer or sth. This is tested and works (I got this answer off google somewhere else, but since this xda thread is the first result that comes up for searches like "recover htc notes", I (necro-)posted the solution here).

Now comes the hard part: If you don't have backup of com.htc.provider.notes, here's how I suggest you hack it BUT I haven't tested: try adding a new note in an empty instance of the notes app. The file /data/data/com.htc.provider.notes/databases/notes.db will be an SQLite file. Open it with any SQLite editor on your computer and you see IDs and file names in its tables match with the created note in your /sdcard/.data/HtcNotes folder. See if you can modify the notes.db database by adding new rows in all related tables to make the app recognize your old HtcNotes files. Don't forget to change file permissions of notes.db after restoring it to your device (I gave rwx-rwx-rwx to everything I copied). If you're lucky and knowledgeable enough you might be able to fix it.

Lesson to learn: Sync, or use plain-text file next time for writing notes.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The5thSurvivor:
I have a HTC Sensation and I used the HTC Notes app often and so does my girlfriend on her Sensation. I recently changed ROMS on both our phones and have been trying to figure out how the hell to restore our notes. :confused: You indeed need to edit that notes.db as you mentioned. I know you didn't test it, but I just tried your suggestion and it did work on my first try. :victory: Here's what I did:

1) I opened the HTC Notes app and created a new note and named it Blah and saved it.

2) I used ES File Explorer to navigate to /data/data/com.htc.provider.notes. Then I copied the notes.db file to my microsd card.

3) I used DB Browser for SQLite to open the notes.db files that I copied to the card. Then clicked on the tab that says Browse Data, then in the drop down menu where it lets you pick a table, I choose notes. There you can see what notes the HTC Notes app will recognize.

4) The note I created earlier called Blah was on row 2, so I clicked on New Record and carefully made a new entry in row 3 with the same format as row 2. Just VERY carefully edit the columns that say: notebook_id, name, data, saved_time, last_modified_time, saving_time, ap_extra_info, thumdnail_path, widget_screenshot_path, and HTC_CREATED.

5) Verify the info you entered is correct fore ach column, then write changes to the database (File menu, Write Changes.)

6) I copied my now modified notes.db from my sdcard back to /data/data/com.htc.provider.notes ES File Explorer, changed the permissions of the file to match notes.db-journal,

7) And finally, I restarted the HTC Notes app, and the new note I added to the database was recognized. :cool:

I can think of a shorter way of doing this, but I''ll have to test it first. :fingers-crossed: Why did HTC have to complicate this? Why can't the app just read the files that are in the same folder or provide a refresh option to read any new files that may have been added to .data\HtcNotes at the very least? :mad:
[Sprint LG G2] Koopa777:
Basically, I was wondering where we stand in terms of perfectly stable 4.4.2 AOSP builds. I have seen posts saying that there are issues with the LS980 variant in particular, and I am a bit uneasy where we will be down the road, not just for KitKat. Basically, will we get screwed and not be able to go further unofficially(because I fully expect LG to not update past 4.4.X, because it's LG)? I see builds being attempted with 4.4.2 source, but apparently the LS980 will not boot on the newer source. I am contemplating switching to a Nexus 5, as I find myself using AOSP exclusively, but the G2 is better in almost every conceivable way. It's been awkwardly silent for a couple weeks now, so any updates to report? I'm not looking for an ETA, just a possible confirmation of progress. I just want to know if I need to entertain the idea of getting a N5. :silly: Thanks!

UMMMM what???? cm11 works great!
[Sprint LG G2] Koopa777:
Sure, except for the poor audio quality, random reboots, system lockups, GPS issues, some apps not working with touchscreen, etc.....

So yeah, except for all AOSP ROMs being completely unstable and borderline unusable, they're pretty solid. :rolleyes:
[Sprint LG G2] Robisgnarly:
had better audio quality on cm11 than stock 4.2.2, my phone never randomly rebooted, never locked up unless i caused it..... never had these issues.. so i guess i was one of the lucky ones?
[Sprint LG G2] Fnord12:
nope, sounds identical here.

once every two weeks or so when an app locks up is not "random reboots" and 100% not the fault of CM11

see above, 100% BS statement.

already multiple solutions posted for that:

1: put it in 3g only mode

2: set it to "device only"

Got any proof of that? everything's been 100% working here. Even FM works great with Spirit 2.

Summary: go away troll, not unless you have proof of anything you say.

From a well-known dev:

"Like most kitkat roms actions from superuser / power up bluetooth *can* cause lag until you screen off and on.

D802 and VS980 have reboot issues like every other rom. Please do not report this or ask other users if they also get them, its a well known issue." - dr87

Audio issues can be found in literally every single ROM thread, I wasn't wasting more of my time finding quotes.

Every AOSP ROM has these issues, period. Whether or not you get them is a roll of the dice, but saying they don't exist shows how out-of-touch with the community you really are. Maybe try learning about the device you use, and know what you're talking about before you attack other members of the community. If I'm wrong fine, tell me I'm wrong, I'll respect and understand that. But when 5 minutes of searching generates all that "proof", much less what has been documented since August, it shows that you clearly would rather attack others than educate yourself. :cowboy:
[Sprint LG G2] Koopa777:
It depends, LiquidSmooth has been stable for me recently, I got two freezes 2 weeks ago, but none since. Touch screen is borked for certain apps on all AOSP ROMs though, regardless. All ROMs have these issues, but it varies on the severity. I have personally never had stable GPS on ANY AOSP ROM since I got the phone on release day(November 8th), and I've tried every ROM available for the LS980.

These issues are supposed to be fixed in newer ROMs incorporating 4.4.2 kernel source, but the LS980 is struggling to boot said source, from what I understand. Check out houstonn's PA 4.0 or dr87's Mahdi, both are testing builds with newer source, and all these issues are apparently fixed. :good:

link 1: not AOSP or CM11

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cal:
You're quoting an old post (way back in April 2014).

1st - Do you have a recovery installed?

2nd - If so, you should update to at least TWRP 2.800

I may be confused about exactly what you are doing...now if you're only booting with the buttons (power-sound down, sound up) that is the message you get and you have to push 'power' 2 times to enter recovery. Are you doing that when you see the display of android recovery after using the cold boot, then the volume and power buttons?? And you are expecting to see TWRP opening, but instead of going straight to TWRP recovery - you're getting what you say 'Android Recovery', or Factory Reset?

You should be able to use the 'buttons' to get to 'Factory Reset'. Do what you know: Power/+down then all 3. If you can't get to TWRP, it must not be installed.
