[HTC Droid DNA] duffman452001:
Honestly I had been going from rom to rom, and just restoring from my nandroid backups using nandroid manager. I had been running CM11, but with older radios and firmware. I decided it was time to fully wipe and start fresh, while also upgrading radios and firmware.

First I copied all my data and pictures onto my computer. Next I ran the 3.06 RUU to get me somewhat up to date. Then I ran the KK firmware update zip that santod had in his stock KK thread. After that I installed his GPE edition rom to try it out. It was missing some features I liked in CM11 so I decided to wipe and go back to CM. I installed that, along with crpalmers kernel and the motox KK dalvik libs for CM11. Since then I would say my phone is running better than ever. More battery life, faster, its just nice. I have 0 issues with CM11, no problems at all with GPS or wifi.

TL DR might be best to copy data off and RUU, start fresh. I recommend CM11, especially if you arent the biggest fan of Sense. For backups I just do a backup from within CWM, and restore using nandroid manager
[HTC Droid DNA] desheh:
Well actually I really like sense..

And about the backup I was referring to something similar to TB (apps and such)..

But thanks anyways :)
[HTC Droid DNA] duffman452001:
Nandroid manager will restore apps from your CWM backup, as well as texts and a few other things
[HTC Droid DNA] desheh:
coolness..

Well, I think I'm to upgrade to [MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION] rom..

Does WiFi/VoIP work correctly? Any other known issues?

So if I understand correctly, the procedure is as follows:

1. Install TWRP 2.7.0.0 - done

2. Perform Nandroid backup - done

3. upgrade hboot and radio to latest version

4. wipe data+cache

5. flash ROM

6. flash kernel (NuKernel?)

7. boot rom

8. recover data with Nandroid Manager

did I miss anything?

thanks alot!
[HTC Droid DNA] duffman452001:
Format /system as well before you install the ROM. Other than that, you should be golden. Worst comes to worst you can just restore, but you should be fine I've done pretty much this exact same thing several times without issue. Wifi works but Im not sure about VOIP (never used it)

Dear friends

How can I root my new HP Slate 10 HD 3603ev (Andr4.2.2).? I tried many things unsuccessfully. Any idea?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreytsar:
Google for "Kingo root".
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikmag:
Worked! Thank you very much!

Done! Thanks a lot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tscrimshaw:
Also worked for me - thank you!

It worked for me too with the 3603EJ variant. Had to plug/unplug a few times, suspend my antivirus etc etc, but after that it all went smoothly.

Next, I'm looking forward to some decent ROMs :o

Update: well, I took the opportunity to relieve the tablet of some bloatware (apps for HP printers etc, which I didn't need). Now, even after unrooting, I find that an OTA update for the tablet fails. HP Support (of course) has been spectacularly unhelpful. My own fault of course - so just a gentle warning to others considering rooting. Now I'm looking for some way to obtain the update and sideload it (safely!)

TIP: You need to get ADB drivers first. I used the universal ADB installer. Please note installing the universal driver on windows 8(.1) x 64 can be a challenge as you need to disable driver signing first. Google for that.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stalix:
I could not find anybody post a similar issue so forgive me if it has been asked. how come only the original kit kat ROM and pac-rom 4.4.2 are the only two roms to give me proper smooth 3d performance. Any other ROMs I have tried all give me horribly unbearable choppiness. I have tried most of the notable 4.4 ROMs like thunderkat, purity, omni, cm11, and others all give me the weird lag. The last only appears in games. Otherwise ask rooms seems very smooth.

Any ideas about why I am experiencing these issues please let me know what I can try and remedy this. Thank you
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

I don't face the same issue as you, but many problems can be solved with fully wiping your device. Maybe you can try checking for apps running in the background too, they are cause of most issues regarding Nexus 10 performance, due to 1GB RAM you can't really push the limits of many apps open at the same time and then opening a game for example ;).

~Lord
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stalix:
Thank you for your reply, but I always do a full wipe when I flash another rom and the only apps i have installed are the one's that are in the same gapps package I use with all my Roms. And I never other apps open when testing for this problem.

Another thing... I thought we had 2gb of ram on the nexus 10.

Could someone try installing "fps meter" from app store and giving me a fps point of reference of any game you have installed. I will try and see what I get in comparison.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

While we do have 2GB RAM, only 1 is available for user is KitKat, as the other 1GB is allocated to GPU ;).

[V1.0]01.05.14 EFS/IMEI Tool G900M/F/T Cmplete backup EFS + Modemst1 and 2 (Needs Rooted device)

As we know on qualcomm device IMEI number no more stored on EFS partition so no meaning to make backup of only efs.img

Here is simple tool to make backup of complete IMEI (efs.img.ext4 + nvrebuild1.bin and nvrebuild2.bin)

As we know sometimes we do have multiple device and multiple backup and that making us confuse which backup is for which device, also it difficult to guess when exactly we made particular backup. to overcome all these issue this tool will make backup in folder name MyEFS_MM-dd-yyyy_hh.mm_Device IMEI So you can keep multiple backup. (* This is Pro feature)

Also it will copy build prop file along with backup, so that will give complete information about your ROM when you made backup.

- To backup long press EFS backup option icon, it will backup all three required partition like efs.img.ext4,nvrebuild1.bin and nvrebuild2.bin. Also you will find build.prop file, which is just to get information about ROM when backup was created.

- To restore simply copy all three backup files efs.img.ext4, nvrebuild1.bin and nvrebuild2.bin to root directory of Int SD card and then long press Restore option icon.

Needs Rooted device

Download : (If your device model is different read this to add support for your device)

Pro Version

OR

IMEI Tool G900M/F/T Free 1.0 - Download for free for XDA users. This have same function for EFS backup as PRO Only difference is Free version save backup in IntSD/MyEFS folder and if you make repeat backup, older one will be overwrite unless you move manually. While PRO version will store backup in MyEFS_date_time_your IMEI and it will create new folder every time and keep all backup on different folder.)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Moe5508:
So the backup goes into a folder called "MyEFS" on internal SD card initially and you have to store it away in a safe place, right?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dr.ketan:
correct.

If you making subsequent backup, you should move/rename older backup otherwise it will be replaced. (For Pro version it will create everytime new folder bcoz it stamps time of backup, so they need not to rename)

But for both version I recommend to keep extra copy on Cloud/PC
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dr.ketan:
More than 50 download, can anyone tell me it's fine and backup created as per said in MyEFS folder for free users

So I have an xperia z1 and over in that section we have a thread with a collection of the various FTF's I thought we could start one for the Xperia Z2 Tablet. It's important to note that please don't provide links to downloads which generate profit for yourself.

To flash FTF's its recommended that you use Flashtool which can be downloaded here

Here is a good guide on flashing FTF's by krabappel2548

If you would like to contribute by creating FTF's, here is another good guide by Apollo89

Please PM me the FTF details rather then filling the thread with individual posts and I will update this original post.

Lastly please provide with the download link the branding and customisation details. The customisation details can be found on the device by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* > Service info > Software info > Customization Version

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybernetic-humanoid:
Got a t217s free from sprint, took it home and rooted it using kingoroot(kingo worked wonderfully prior to the NB8 update). then a few weeks later I got the notification for a software update(the NB8 update). Without unrooting, I downloaded it, and it successfully installed. Whent to re-root with kingo and it failed to root(tried all the troubleshooting steps), then I tried oneclickroot and it said I was already rooted, however rootchecker said I wasn't, and none of my root programs worked. So I decided to install cwm recovery and installed superSU, regained root access and didnt really think much of it. Then the word surfaced that we might be getting yet another update(although its not likely) I decided to revert back to a stock recovery. Upon doing so, I booted into recovery and saw the words "no command", and when I selected reboot, it said "error" yet proceeded to boot up normally so I didn't think much of it. Then I wanted to wipe my cache partition and discovered that when I select "wipe cache partition" it says "error" and proceeds to boot up.

I have tried re flashing stock recovery multiple times, with files from multiple sources to make sure its not just a bad download. I have tried factory reset and a fresh flashing of the stock firmware using odin. All to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated. I hope this is the right section for my issue... if its not im sorry.

Is there any way to do this?
[General Topics] levenum:
Cab installation on the device is done by wceload.exe. If you overwrite it with an empty exe file (with the same name) there will be no way to install cab files from device or PC.
[General Topics] zol2006:
it's good idea, but we have a small probleme, that we can just read wceload.exe because it have a Archive and Read-Only on the his Attributes. :D
[General Topics] levenum:
Actually, it is in ROM, which is why you can't delete or edit it, but any ROM file can be overwritten by a file with the same name which will be stored in regular memory (RAM for WM2003, flash for WM5) and will "hide" the original file.

In WM5 device this has to be done from inside the device with apps like Resco explorer or Total commander or using a cab installation because of security restrictions. On WM2003 and lower you can do it via file explorer from the desktop.
