It has it built in now by deafult. "Add GUI option to change or repair file systems on individual partitions. The change is destructive so backup your data including internal sdcard first. This option should make it a little easier to migrate a device from ext4 -> f2fs, for instance. You will find this option under Wipe -> Advanced Wipe, then select only one partition and then press the Repair or Change File System button. "

[General Questions and Answers] uncle_stumps:
I have Huawei G730-U251 and I sim-unlocked it, the problem is that the phone relocks itself everytime I turn it off.

I previously had the G610, which I also unlocked and never asked again for the code, even after switching sim again.

I'm using the same sim I used with the G610 so I know my sim doesn't have a pin lock or any locks.

Is there any way I can prevent the phone from asking every time?

Thanks in advance.

[Moto X Q&A] ashisharia:
I want to buy moto x and am wondering with although fantastic x8 processor does moto x is future proof for at least 2 years? Or should I go for nexus 5 which is more future proof? How about touchless control? One of the main factors I am buying is because of that
[Moto X Q&A] nijom:
May i know what you mean by FUTURE PROOF?
[Moto X Q&A] :
Some people still use 3 or 4 year old devices. My S2 still works fine.

If you're a hardcore cutting edge gamer....then you'll maybe need a phone every year or less....but the moto x can do anything any other device can do now, and probably still will 3 years from now. ;)

But ultimately its your research and decision that matters, not any of us. We all have different needs and expectations.
[Moto X Q&A] ChrisAG:
Motorola will probably keep the software updated until Jan/Feb 2015. After that, who knows?
[Moto X Q&A] motoxone:
I would wait until May 13 to find out when the Moto X + 1 releases.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
I agree with [MENTION=4558563]nijom[/MENTION], define "future proof".. The X is as "future proof" as any other android device where the carrier has the final say in the updates being pushed to the device.

Unless you get a developer edition X which can be bootloader unlocked, and you can flash custom roms to it. Although options for 3rd party roms are relatively few at the moment, and you'd lose the Moto specific features which make the X so popular.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VTHockey11:
Hey Guys,

Got my brand new GS5 on Tuesday this week but I've run into a pretty major data connection issue and I'm unable to identify a root cause for it.

Essentially, when I leave my phone on overnight (and plugged in) I wake up with no data connection. The wifi is disconnected, and even though my phone shows it is picking up the network, I can't load any sites or do anything using LTE - so both wifi and my LTE data connection are not working. Additionally, the wifi isn't only disconnected, the wifi function is literally turned off. When I try to toggle wifi back on, the toggle goes a light shade of green, like it's stuck trying to turn back on, and never turns on.

Eventually I have to restart my phone and it works just fine again. This has happened on 2 of 3 mornings since I've purchased the phone and only seems to happen after extended down time for the phone as it's never occured during the day. I'm thinking of exchanging the phone (this would be my 3rd GS5 as the first one didn't recognize any headphones.)

Any ideas? Anyone else seen this?

Thanks!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
You've been getting modem crashes on a regular, sustained basis? Are the moments repeatable or unpredictable?

I've had them when completely stock with only root, and when running stock DeOdex, plus when on custom roms, on both NABD and NC5D (ie, before and after WiFi calling).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] caesar_:
Very unpredictable when they happen.. I cannot replicate. They've all happened since flashing the NC5 engineering bootloader. Once i had 3 in a row all back to back about 5 to 10 minutes apart.

I've contemplated flashing the NC5 developers bootloader but from what you've just told me, they'd probably still occur.

Right now they occur maybe once every or every other week.

This never occurred while i was on stock NAB

[Android General] akash_bd:
Hi,

today I'm going to show how to create a flashable

zip from a CWM/TWRP Backup. This is specially for MTK

device(you can try in other device,may work). Here is

my step by step tutorial...

Requirements:

* PC

* CWM/TWRP Backup

* Winrar

* Brain

you need META-INF,system & boot.img for making a

flashble zip rom, so you have to collect these from

your backup

*CWM method:

1. Copy the CWM backup from Phone to PC

2. Extract system.ext4.tar file with winrar, you

will get the system folder

3. Collect the boot.img from the backup

4. Now collect a META-INF folder from any custom

rom which is made for your device

5. Now select META-INF,system & boot.img, click

right button of your mouse and select 'Add to archive'

now select archive format 'ZIP' and press ok

6. Your flasable zip rom is ready. Just copy it

to your sd card and flash with CWM or TWRP

7. Done.

TWRP method:

1. Copy the TWRP backup from Phone to PC

2. Collect the file 'system.ext4.win' rename it

to 'system.ext4.tar'

3. Extract the system.ext4.tar. Now in case if your

TWRP backup is not in compression method, you will

directly get the system folder. Or if your TWRP

backup is in compression method, you will get a

file named 'system.ext4', don't worry just again

rename it to 'system.ext4.tar' and extract to get

the 'system' folder

4. Collect the 'boot.emmc.win' file and rename it

to boot.img, now ypu manage the boot.img also

5. Now collect a META-INF folder from any custom

rom which is made for your device

6. Now select META-INF,system & boot.img, click

right button of your mouse and select 'Add to archive'

now select archive format 'ZIP' and press ok

7. Your flasable zip rom is ready. Just copy it

to your sd card and flash with CWM or TWRP

8. Done.

I lost my nandroid backup of stock network carrier's ROM so my friend made backup using same TWRP recovery and now I want to build flashable zip. He excluded only data and cache.

There are some things that confuses me.

This device (Alcatel OT M' Pop) has custpack.ext4.win. Do I have to include it and how?

This is all files from backup:

View attachment 3000551

Also I used Cygwin Terminal to unpack system.ext4.win because 7Zip and WinRar gave me errors during unpacking process but interesting thing is that when I open archive with 7zip I can see META-INF folder :confused: Can I use that META and how the hell WinRar doesn't show it? Or is it safer to include META from another ROM for this device?

[Android General] carl1961:
this is how I did it.

CYGWIN Unpacking TWRP Backup Files

rename:

data.ext4.win to data.ext4.win.tar

system.ext4.win000 system.ext4.win000.tar

system.ext4.win001 to system.ext4.win001.tar

Make a directory in your CYGWIN Home [Username]folder

Example: untar

Use Windows File Explorer go to your CYGWING Home

C:\cygwin\home\carl (your user name will be here)

make any folder you choose

Example:

C:\cygwin\home\carl\untar

and C:\cygwin\home\carl\untar\data ( for data files)

put your renamed data files in a folder named data

C:\cygwin\home\carl\untar\data (this is to keep files separate when unpacked)

While in Explorer put your renamed system files in untar folder

start CYGWIN ( Use the Cygwin Terminal and then you can copy and paste these commands)

cd to untar folder

example:

cd\untar cd untar

do these commands one at a time, it will extract to a folder named system

tar -xvf system.ext4.win000.tar

tar -xvf system.ext4.win001.tar

cd to data

cd untar/data

then do these commands

tar -xvf data.ext4.win.tar

tar -xvf data.ext4.win000.tar

tar -xvf data.ext4.win001.tar

all your data files will extract

Newbie Question

Hi,

Newbie here...I've made a backup using TWRP Manager (rooted). What I can't understand is how to get the system.ext4.win file. I couldn't find my TWRP folder ( using ES FIle Explorer), and using NANDROID Backup, still could not access it. My backup is saved in my external SD card. My ES File Explorer have Root Explorer enabled, but I'm not sure how to open the BACKUP file.

Using TWRP Explorer, when I choose the backup file, it says cannot access file and asked me if it is a TWRP file. But it is.

So...how? I would like to share this backup file as flashable ROM with my Facebook group members, since we don't really like the stock ROM that comes with our phone (Lenovo A916).
