How about charging a phone or anything else using the Z1?

One day I woke up and decided enough was enough, never touched another fag since, that was 6 years ago

Its easy, just sort your head out.
[Xperia Z1 General] olokos:
Well, it does use current high enough to charge stuff. It won't output higher current than the kernel cap. It's perfectly safe for the device. [MENTION=3843529]gregbradley[/MENTION] - good for you, I don't have a will that's strong enough to just quit it. Can we get back on topic now, please?

[Xperia Z1 General] Riyal:
Haven't tried this yet on my Xperia phone but on my HTC One before I could charge another phone using OTG. Well I was attempting to mount a cheap tablet(with no microsd card and bluetooth) to my phone so I could copy some files and it didn't work but it charged the tablet instead :p
[Xperia Z1 General] olokos:
Interesting. I actually tried this with S4 and Galaxy S w/ CM11 and S4 told me that I can transfer photos, Galaxy S /w CM11 automatically mounted itself in MSC mode. Just like you would connect it to the PC.

That's actually interesting. Which tablet is it with what rom/kernel? I could try to modify OTG interface on the Z1 or disable data transfer on the device that's meant to be charged, so you could switch between charging/data transfer. I thought that's not possible to charge a phone with another.
[Xperia Z1 General] ___ZerO:
I tried with a stereo Bluetooth headset (SBH50) and it charged without any problem. It just went from 72% to 68% in my z1's battery and the headset charged almost fully.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] correct horse:
whenever i attempt to restore a back up from twrp it crashes just after 2 seconds

i reverted back to stock about a month ago through odin and i didnt realize that it was going to delete everything on the internal sdcard, and i have important documents that i need to get back ASAP, so luckily i had a back up of my previous roms before i reverted to stock, but when ever i have tried to restore a back up, no matter what one it crashes. ive even tried to back up the stock rom and restore that, still doesnt work. right now i installed negalites rom, hoping that it was just something with the stock, but still cant get any backup to restore

its very important that i get my documents back for legal proceeding so any help or any idea would be greatly appreciated thank you

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] correct horse:
that did work to where i was able to access the system files and apps, but the app i downloaded saved my documents to the external sdcard, which got erased when i reverted back to stock, so i need to find a way to get those back if thats at all possible..

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LoatheDeath:
Two days ago I bought the Galaxy s4 black from verizon wireless website. Today someone dropped my phone. The screen is cracked and wont turn on. When I press the button the screen turns green for a split second and turns off. Is the limited warranty covering this? I really need this phone and will be in alot of trouble if this is not free/very cheap to fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] quarky42:
This is not a warranty issue. The warranty will not cover someone dropping your phone. I'm sorry to hear you are in this position.

Your only option is to get the glass, screen / digitizer replaced and hope that is all that is broken. As it is, it won't be cheap to fix but cheaper than buying a new phone at full price.

Or, you could just buy a used one on eBay or Craigs List, just be careful.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] CyanJustice:
The best way to restore your OS and system partition is to follow this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2593037

It will explain what you need depending on your S-ON status, and it provides links to the RUU you need to get your phone back up and running.

You'll be able to do this by holding down your volume down and power buttons until hboot boots, and going into fastboot mode. The rest is explained in the guide. Reply to me if you need any help, and hit that thanks button on me and the link's OP if he helped you.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
All you need to do is flash a ROM again. An RUU isn't required, in fact, if you're s-on it's very risky.

Even if there is no ROM zip on the storage, the user can mount the sd card and copy one across from a PC.

Hi. Wifeys S3 (just over a year old) has started bootlooping.

I can get into Odin and stock recovery but nothing else. The phone was always off limits to me so it has never been rooted of had USB debugging enabled. Ive tried adding a stock ROM to the SD card and installing via stock recovery but no good. Ive tried installing Kies but it wont find the phone. the USB drivers ive installed just come up with an error for the phone.

Am I stuffed ? Any options out there ? Im an ADB novice ....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benko111:
Hi there,

no worries mate, just boot into Download Mode and flash a fresh stock ROM via Odin. Before you do that make sure

to read and understand stuff, otherwise you might permanently brick wifey's device. Make sure to flash only files intended for

that particular device. Ask before you do something stupid you didn't understand.

Thanks.

Ive installed ODIN. Downloaded latest Samsung Drivers. Found a ROM (stock)

but ..... i cant get the device to be recognised by the USB drivers. I can get into ODIN on the phone - but i keep getting USB not recognised (Device Descriptor Request Failed).

Grrrrrrr :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Uninstall kies and do a full driver wipe, then start again with just the usb drivers and odin. Try different usb leads and ports.

The symptoms so far describe motherboard failure, if you can't get odin to connect then it looks terminal.

I'd presume you've tried factory reset and cache clear in stock recovery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilbur-force:
uninstalled kies - uninstalled drivers. reinstalled drivers. still no connection and device descriptor request failed.

The phone isnt that old (was provided as a replacement for a dead Xperia) - maybe 18 months - so I might contact Samsung and see what they say :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benko111:
Honestly, in my experience (escpecially since using boxes) it is rarely a hardware brick.

1 from 10 dead phones or bootlooped devices have a defective board, the rest is recoverable by software repair.

There a tons of threads around like 'i9300 not regonized on USB port' etc. I find it much too early to give up saying it's the board.

It's probably not the board. Anyway, if you don't want the hassle of finding the fault and you are still under warranty of course you might just as well

see your service center.

But: it actually is a way to pull customers money from their pockets. I've seen HTC and Samsung changing boards 'cause the device has been rootet or BL unlocked.

They tell you it is their policy to return devices only in factory state and take all sorts of excuses to charge you changing the devices board without any neccessity.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Olek94:
quietening !

Just to quieten a little the OP, I can use ODIN on one of my laptops and not the other (USB not recognized depite wiping all KIES elements on the laptop, rebooting, installing USBdrivers from Chainfire (I believe) and rebooting.

No way. on the other laptop all is fine.

BTW This is a 9300 but not Qualcomm so I cannot find any soft to deal with nv files and EFS. ANyone knows if that exists for Exynox chipsets ? (so to have the adequate menu in Phoneutils)

Or is there a way to use command line to put the smartphone in theadequate mode for using EFS pro, or other NV tool (Qualcomm mostly, seem to me :( )

Have become a fond user of Miracast on my tablet recently so was wondering if there were any original Android ROMs that supported it? I have read that no CM/AOSP ROM supports Miracast but apparently there are work arounds? I am currently on the unofficial CM11 that temasek produced and despite having the Cast Screen option in settings I don't think it can find my device to cast to

Never going back to Touchwiz so if anyone knows any simple KitKat ROMs that Miracast works on that would be great

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidBloke:
Hello everyone, I have been reading this forum for some time and decided to register. It's a great resource site with amazing info.

I have been playing with apktool to learn how apps are made. Decompiled following the guide from this forum.

However I can't find what I'm looking for in the apps. For example, it's easy to edit the drawable folders of the apps and change the images.

I took some apps that gather feeds from news sites and I tried to find where are the feeds URLs coded or embedded inside the apps files, and could not find any info at all. No URLs at all. I opened the XMLs, and other files inside res, lib or smali folders, opened a lot of the files with Notepad++ and I can't find any information about it, or any place where the app connects to the website.

Is it possible to access that info when we decompile with apktool?

I also watched a lot of videos in YouTube, on how to edit apps with apktool, and all of them explain how to change the images, but nothing else.

Is it only possible to edit the theme/design of an app, when we decompile with apktool? Or can we go further and change something else?

Any help appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidBloke:
Ok, after further research, and some trial and error, it seems apktool only does a very superficial decompile of the apk. It won't give you the actual source code of the app. So you can only do some very basic changes to the app, like images and such. However it is a very good first step to decompile the app.

I realized we need to use other tools to create and decompile the .jar files. I will keep experimenting.

I am trying to root my T-mo Galaxy S5 using the Philz touch recovery CWM. I got thru and put the phone in download mode, use odin v1.85 and load the tar.md5 file into the PDA section, i have tried 6.26.2 version of philz and also the 6.26.6 version, same issue with either one. It goes through and seems to work successfully, it says PASS in Odin at the end and my phone reboots normally. I then shut off my phone and hold the vol up + Home + Pwr keys to boot into Recovery mode.

When i do, i get one blue line saying "recovery booting..."

Then a quick screen showing an android bot with its belly open and little spinning wireframe orb in its belly with the words "installing system update..."

then as the attached screenshot shows, is what i see next...

in red at top it says:

Android system recovery <3e>

KOT49H.G900TUVU1ANCH

Volume up/down to move highlight;

power button to select.

My choices to scroll thru on screen are....

reboot system now

apply update from ADB

apply update from external storage

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

apply update from cache

In the background is an image of a droid bot laying down with a red yield sign over his open belly and the words "No Command"

at the bottom of hte screen in yellow it says...

# MANUAL MODE #

-- Appling Multi-CSC...

Applied the CSC-code : TMB

Successfully applied multi-CSC.

Any ideas what this is and how i can get to the regular Philz touch CWM recovery so i can install custom ROMS?

Things maybe slightly different about my S5, i have a wireless charging accept pad installed on top of my battery and touching the two wireless charging nodes on the back of the phone so i can wirelessly charge.

I also have a gear fit paired with my phone, which i cant imagine is causing any issues.

thanks,

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Dweet:
I used Odin v3.07 to root Chainfires root and then I used the Philz recovery tar file to get the recovery... maybe you can Odin back to stock with Odin v3.07 and try that method with a fresh start.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ronyv93:
I know its kinda late for this answer but what you have to do is disable the auto reboot option , now hit start when it shows you pass on the odin screen you can manually remove the battery and proceed to power the phone into the recovery mode and its done :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Zororasto:
I have the same problem as well. Have you found any solution to this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
You need to disable the auto-reboot option in Odin before installing the custom recovery. If you do not do this, android will reboot normally which will cause the custom recovery to be replaced by the stock recovery.

So disable auto-reboot, when the Odin status bar is full and Odin says PASS, you have to manually boot your phone into recovery (home, vol+, and power) and immediately install the latest supersu zip

Technically correct but misleading and off-point to the point of being incorrect. CF-autoroot is usually dependent on having a specific version of android. However, on any version of android, you can install a custom recovery (TWRP or Philz) with Odin, immediately boot into that recovery (without first booting into normal android) and flash the latest supersu zip file. This method is safe, easy, and universal in the fact that it works with any version of android.

Hello everyone! I have a LG Optimus G e977 (similar to e975) and I'm having kind of a very annoying problem. The bottom of my touch screen is broken and I'm not being able to "finish" the initial set up of CyanoGenMod 11. I was able to bypass every page by sliding to the left, but I can't do it on the very last page.

USB debugging is not activated because i haven't even got a chance to go into settings. My phone doesn't appear on "ADB" devices list. Is there anyway I can control the phone from my PC? (Windows 7).

Maybe theres a file inside the phone's internal storage indicating that the initial setup has already been donde. Could I replace it with somene else's file who already has gone through this process?

Excuse my English since it's not my mother language, but I do understand perfectly well anything written.

I really thank you for your time and patience.

On PC with an archive manager like 7zip or WinRar, open CM11 zip as archive and browse to /system/app and delete CMaccount.apk . Make sure to not unzip the rom otherwise you will need to sign the zip as well. Then install edited rom.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiegoRC:
This almost worked. As soon as I started the phone for the first time with this new ROM, just had to choose a language and hit next, but then the "Configuration app" crashed, the screen stayed black with the battery and signal icons on top and I was unable to do anything from there.

Maybe this app saves some config files/flags inside the phone and someone can send me those in a zip file or something? So I can trick the phone as if it had already been configured.

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Sorry. Wasn't aware that was tied to anything important at all as it is non essential to anything necessary in the phone. I never set up the CM account and always uninstall the app and have never had an problems. You might have to remove another app like Setupwizard or something along those sorts. Haven't opened up a straight CM rom zip in a bit so can't remember off the top of my head.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiegoRC:
I finally managed to complete the setup wizard. When the Google Account config set up showed up, it was the only moment when the screen rotation worked.

1) Slide screens until the google Account set up

2) Rotate the screen

3) follow the registration wizard normally without rotating back to normal position.

4) when the "finish" button appeared at the end, i was able to click on it
