[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] just believe:
Hello everyone,

I'm a newbie at rooting.

I have used CM for 3 months but for a week it got a little strange.

Scenario 1) When I push the power button to get to lock screen, the soft buttons' light turn on for a moment but no change happens on screen. I push power button again, the same result. No other respone from my mobile. If I push power button for 10 sec to reset, i see a little green or purple light beam from the bottom right. After a while, it disappears. And still no response. I remove the battery as a last resort and put it back, when I push the power button, it's the same. Little colorful light beams...

Scenario 2) A short time ago, while I was playing a game on it, the screen just turned off and I pushed the power button... as you guess, the story goes on the same way.

It's now off, I couldn't get to it in any way.

What can I do to solve and how?

You guess it's urgent.

Sorry for my poor English, thanks in advance.

Can you restart the phone in download mode, or recovery mode?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] just believe:
I just figured out something:

The phone turned on and I disabled developer settings. After this, when the screen is locked and off and I push the power button, I see nothing on the screen (maybe a little purple or green beam at the right bottom) but the soft buttons turn on. I slide right to unlock without seeing anything, I pass the lock screen and it's now open. (when I touch the screen, the soft buttons turn on again and again as it should be) I just scroll the main pages right and left, push the volume or main button, they work. (it beeps when the sound is max) after 30 - 40 seconds... yay! The screen is on! It's totally the same all the time. It needs time to turn on? :)

Is it a software problem or is my screen about to break down?

Thanks again!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k-semler:
it's a software problem. You can either factory reset, run the trim command if you're running android 4.3, or change to a different ROM.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mattrb:
What is the best way to prep the phone for return. This old M8 had super issues and was fooked.

New one works great!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sim-X:
Since you already got the replacement I wouldn't worry about it return it as in shouldn't matter. If you must hopefully you have a nandroid, restore it and flash stock recovery back along with stock hboot if you flashed a modded one. Remove your tampered flag (there is a thread around somewhere) relock your bootloader. There was a way to change relocked to locked on the m7 I would think it would work on the m8. Then you should be able to run a s-on command to reverse it. Don't do it unless you are sure you are on stock hboot or you can brick it. Honestly though who cares, just give it back as is. They are gonna have to reload it anyway and sell it as a refurb.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] TheStayHomeDad:

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] SimplyNando:
I successfully rooted and achieved an unlocked bootloader with S-OFF on my Verizon HTC One M8 and also flashed TWRP 2.7.0.2. I downloaded a rom (without an SD card). I booted into recovery and i made a backup (not noticing that one of the lines read "unable to mount '/system". I then wiped and attempted to flash the rom only to find out that i can't find it in my file system. So i put the rom on an SD card and mounted it and tried to flash it, i get this message:

E: Unable to mount '/system'

E: Unable to open zip file.

Error Flashing zip '/external_sd/Roms?ViperOneM*_1.2.0.zip'

Updating partition details...

E: Unable to mount '/system'

So i'm stuck with a boot loader, an unmountable file system, and unable to flash a rom.

I've tried Fix permissions, I've tried mounting the "system" but all that mounts is 'cache' 'data' and 'micro SDcard'.

I hope my nerves are getting the best of me and i can't see something that's right in front of me!

Edit: Flashed CWM Recovery. Trying to install ROM from SD Card results in "Installation Aborted". When i try to side load it hangs at 81%.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dsEVOlve:
Did you flash TWRP using terminal emulator mode as described on the official website for 2.7.0.2? If so you overwrote the system partition. Try flashing the recovery using the fastboot method as this will put the recovery in the right place. Then boot into the bootloader, choose recovery. I think this will get you TWRP in the recovery partition. Once there try flashing a ROM (although o would suggest something closer to stock like Skyfall).

I think what is happening is since the instructions for flashing TWRP via terminal emulator list the wrong partition, when you boot up to system it seems like you are booting to recovery because TWRP shows up. But you're actually on the system partition so when you try to flash a ROM you get an error because you can't mount the partition you're in.

I'm far from an expert in any of this so anyone who is please correct me.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] SimplyNando:
I did flash TWRP as described. I used Terminal from my Macbook. I did some researching and i did try flashing using the fast boot method. I'm just so stumped!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] 123421342:
First of all you aren't bricked. Have you tried using side load to flash the ROM? Try flashing another recovery too.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] WorldOfJohnboy:
The above suggestion to try and Sideload the ROM install is a good idea. Basically, put the ROM zip file in your platform-tools folder of adb. Then boot to TWRP recovery, choose "sideload" and then issue the command "adb sideload [filename.zip]" (Instructions are found HERE.)

If that doesn't work, have you tried flashing Clockwork Recovery? You may have better luck with that in regards to mounts and/or flashing the ROM...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wtoj34:
There's always USB OTG as well
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] WorldOfJohnboy:
I found THIS thread (for ASUS Transformer though).

What may have happened (if I'm reading the above thread correctly) is that your /system doesn't exist.

Taking a complete stab at a fix, you may be able to use fastboot to flash a working "system.img" file. (Anyone with more expertise, please confirm or refute this...)

EDIT: Found THIS post in the "Official" TWRP release 2.7.0.0 thread I wonder if perhaps this is what happened to you?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] SimplyNando:
That does seem like it could be the problem. I just flashed CWM recovery instead but it's still the sam problem. Still can't flash a rom, i also tried using sideboot.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] 123421342:
You might have to find a factory image, an RUU I am not sure if one exists but it will write the partitions. I think somehow your actual system partition was erased which is why it cannot be mounted. Pretty much, your only hope is an RUU or a zipped factory image.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] SimplyNando:
I wouldn't be able to get that from the system dump located http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2695171 ? Is there any other possible explanation??
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] 123421342:
no because it is not a flashable zip. Factory image or RUU means the bootloader will literally write the partition. Recovery will mount the partition and write information to it. It cannot create the partition itself which I think is your issue.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bakemcbride21:
Assuming your recovery is fine..this is what I did to fix my self inflicted "soft brick" on Saturday...I mistakenly hit format system instead of just data and cache while trying to start over.

I am running cwm 6047..and for whatever reason the sideload failed with an error trying to sideload flash sky fall.

So I did an adb push skyfall.zip /sdcard/0 and was then able to flash the zip from internal storage.

Hope that helps with your situation.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andrewp3481:
Yep. You have a bad download. Download a new ROM on your computer...boot to recovery and do a adb sideload or push

Sent from my HTC One M8
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] WorldOfJohnboy:
Just had a thought... did you flash the insecure Kernel (found HERE) ever? You may not have a writeable /system?

Flash the Kernel, then reflash the official TWRP (both in Fastboot) and see if that works...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] 123421342:
Kernel runs inside the rom and the system becomes writeable in the ROM so that won't do anything. I'm pretty convinced he is missing the partition.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jerico9:
Hi did you manage to sort this issue out as i'm having the same issue. it won't install backups or open zip files of the rom's. no matter what i do it won't flash the rom's. i've tried side loading on both cwm and TWRP - as i just said swapped from both recoveries. Managed to mount the sd card and put a new rom on it but won't flash from there and I've tried to move it to internal but fails.

I can't find my stock recovery an a nandroid back up either. Any help would be great

thanks

---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

Oh it does let me flash a Kernal zip tho?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
did you try formatting internal yet?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jerico9:
Just for anyone withthe same issue. It ended up being not dnough memory to flash the recovery or the new rom....deerrrrrrr!!!

Haha, cant believe it had me stumped for 5 days trying everything and anything. Formatting would have helped aswell So thanks for the suggestion
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
I have an HTC version of fastboot/adb that will work on a low memory pc. It's posted in my ruu thread.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jerico9:
I mean the device memory was low, so couldn't flash as no room on the device :D
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] quinting:
I had the same issue. No partitions of any kind :(

BUT, I found a fix...not sure if this helps in all cases, but I used TWRP to FORMAT the data partition, and then I went to wipe the other partitions, and it re-created everything...then installed Sky Dragon, actually, just rebooting, so we'll see how it works :)

Seems to have worked. Got the ROM installed after following the above. Hope this helps someone out.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Slygathor:
So I updated to 4.4.2 about a month ago with a guide from here. Had minor issues with Google Play not working properly, keeps telling me "can't play stream", or "can't play selected track" halfway through playing. When it works fine on my Asus table and my Surface pro just fine. Aside from that, all of a sudden I can't get into recovery. It's like it doesn't exist anymore. I noticed this yesterday when I tried to root my phone with ioroot. I can use ADB to reboot the phone into recovery, but it flashes for 2 seconds like it's loading something. But doesn't go any further. It's quite annoying and perturbing. I'm wondering if it's worth to just reflash back to 4.2 or 4.3? Or if you guys have any other insight or helpful tips?

Anything is much appreciated.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] flatline911:
I have a t-mobile edition XDA ROM 4.02.02 (QTek) on a US version PW10B1. I am trying to use the 6.25 radio stack, and it won't boot. when it loads, it won't go past the boot screen. I don't want to downgrade and be stuck with PPC 2002. I know that I can go to OzUp 2003 (SE) and it will work, but what radio stack works for 2003 final so that it doesnt freeze up. when I try other radio stacks, it wont boot. I think I may have to downgrade to 2002 and reinstall RSU 4.16, and that doesnt bother me, but I want to upgrade to 2003. Anyone got any clues on this? I cant get the thing to boot and when it does if I hit the power button it stays off. I have to do a soft reboot to bring it back. If it goes into suspend mode, I get the same thing.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] encryptioncsta:
Hello XDA Community

I have had my Sony Xperia Z ultra Since last year and i've never been able to Unlock the Bootloader...whenever i've tried it just doesn't work :( almost makes me not want the device as i cant stand the stock Sony Xperia UI.

First off the normal method ive tried just never works

UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER:

This may wipe your phone, so backup your stuff

• Go to Sony's dev site

• Request the unlock key and check your mail straight away. Email is quick these days.

• Open Flashtool on your computer (yes, the one you installed earlier)

• Click the "BLU" icon

• Follow the steps and enter your unlock key

Quick note...If i type *#*#7378423#*#* into the keypad and continue the steps i get to the Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed and its always said Bootloader not allowed...now i don't know if that means anything or with a bit of hope ill still be able to Unlock my Phone...

My phone is a contract phone with o2 here in the uk and even trying to return the phone is impossible as they tell me all the time are you asking to unlock the device for use with a different network :(

I've done my best to explain to them no its the bootloader and they tell me i shouldn't be messing with the device etc etc etc etc.....:(

anyways theres no way of convincing them and am stuck with this exact phone...i dunno what else to do if even trying to unlock bootloader will ever work for me :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
" If Bootloader unlock allowed and its always said Bootloader not allowed."

Thats the problem.

You could look at installing a theme or maybe monx's ROM
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SpyderTracks:
This means that your bootloader is unlockable from the factory. There's no work around for this.
[Moto X General] aviwdoowks:
http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/themes-apps/root-app-backup-restore-otg-t2719286

I want to determine the effectiveness of the restore abilities....

Edit

A backup works but only a semiautomatic restore is available.
[Moto X General] Cyphir:
Anything to do with system apps will not be able to be backed up or restored due to the needed ability to read and write to the system partition.
[Moto X General] aviwdoowks:
But each of the programs DO MAKE A full backup folder. Please read the link.

:)

But I see that a rooted user would not be a valid test because of the WP issue.
[Moto X General] Cyphir:
OK, let me put it this way. You can back up anything, but not delete any system app/data/files and can not restore/write files to the system partition during a restore if you are unrooted. The only things you could backup and restore would be apps and data that are saved on your SD card.
[Moto X General] :
Restoring system files can cause big issues as well. So better not worrying about those. They can always be extracted and installed clean if need be. Or you can flash system only with fast boot from an image.

Not sure if there's something specific you need to do but I bought a brand new techmatte wireless charger. The reviews were all great and I got. From Amazon. I tried it with my g2 and nothing. No matter how much I adjusted it it wouldn't work. The charger lit up when plugged in the wall but the phone didn't charge and the charger didn't show that it recognized a phone on it. I already filed a return since I just got it today but if anyone has any ideas and it works I can cancel the return thanks.

Ps. There's a video on YouTube of it working with other phones so maybe my phone is the issue???

[Verizon LG G2] jpwaite454:
I would suggest the wcp-300. That's the one that i have and it works quite well. I have noticed that if i have my tpu case on the phone it charges a bit slower. So, if you have it in a case, try removing it.
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
I tried it without a case and no go. But it was a generic one I'll try the official one since its on sale for 20 on daily steals every other week
[Verizon LG G2] jpwaite454:
the last bit of advice I can think of for the time being is that the Qi receiver for the phone is on the lower half of the phone. Sometimes I have to position it just so until it registers. Best of luck other than that with your new charger.
[Verizon LG G2] frackingdren:
If this is anything like the PowerBot Qi charger I got from Amazon, you need to use the supplied cable. I tried to use what I had plugged into my computer at the time and it didn't quite fit right and was very loose so it wouldn't properly power up my Qi charger.
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
I contacted them and they told me "it isn't compatible with the g2" and they have a different version called the techmatte pod or something like that that works on the g2, but that makes no sense considering qi charging is universal. I'm not sure if I wanna try buying that one or not

[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
I'll check it out, does it stop charging when full? If so I may buy one New since I'd like it for overnight charging
[Verizon LG G2] Damasterjj:
of course it stop charging when full.
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
Just making sure. There are some that keep charging and make the battery real hot
[Verizon LG G2] Damasterjj:
all of the qi charging will make the battery hot. thats why I try to use wired when i can.
[Verizon LG G2] frackingdren:
As far as I concerned, if it's truly a Qi charger it should work. Maybe you have a faulty unit and they don't have to eat the cost? I'd just return it and get another product. This is what I got:

http://www.amazon.com/PowerBot®-Ind...F8&qid=1398696518&sr=8-2&keywords=powerbot+qi

This works for my two LG G2 VS980 and my Galaxy Nexus 7 (2013). Make sure you use the supplied cable or you'll have a loose connection.
