[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Not sure there would be much more to do on your own without the official backup without special tools like SPT, Octopus Box, SRS, etc, but those cost more than the phone, so would have to find a shop that has the equipment and is also competent at using them. Many of the major software tools have repos with files like you need and the correct way to load them. I'd love to have one for my shop, but requests to fix stuff like this don't come often enough to justify the expense when there are more pressing matters...

On another forum they were saying that you can use the efs backup from another clean phone because it does not actually contain the IMEI, so if you could find one of those... I tried to download a couple for you yesterday to test but they either failed to open correctly or didn't pass the md5 validity check in Odin, which is why I didn't repost.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javigoile:
Desperate times call for desperate measures ;)

I'm still working on restoring the /efs partition, even with a null IMEI, at least to be able to use the phone with wi-fi for other purposes (if I can't find someone to flash a good efs.img and restore the IMEI completely).

Right now it's still a brick. Will post update soon.

Thank you all!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Lucas0511:
I seem to have found good contacts in both the WM5 and HTC development teams, and get fast answers to questions well explained.

You guys are smarter, and sometimes outdo the capabilities or willingness of these dev teams to support us users (remember the A2DP patch for the Prophet).

But nevertheless I would like to compile a brief list list with serious bugs or improvement requests to both teams, and see what they suggest. The bugs you experienced might not happen to other users, so we should carefully think about what to request.

But I think we can all agree on the A2DP out of range non-automatic reconnection issue (only manual). Since the HFP (handsfree) profile re-connects on the Tytn, A2DP re-connection should be achievable also. Any other suggestions please?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] :
Since this morning, my S4 started to vibrate for half a second every few minutes.

I rebooted the phone twice already and there is no notification in the top bar.

The only way I can make it stop is to put the phone in the Airplane mode.

Is there anyway to find what apps is doing this ?

The phone is running latest offcial ROM + CF Auto Root and Nova free launcher.

Thank you

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmatulich:
Okay Ive been searching around for solutions for my bootloop and most people are obviously saying odin back to mje. I was wondering how odin will recognize my phone if it keeps powering off and on. Yes I tried to hold the power home and volume up key. It boots up, vibrates twice, says recovery booting... then powers down, repeats. I removed the battery and that didnt help. Any thoughts, Im on beans stock nc2 odexed rom. I also tried the tutorial in thread about bootloops, I held down power home and volume down but nothing changes it still is trying to boot into recovery , then turns off and repeats.

-the whole reason this came about is when I was going to power down so I held the power button and then the custom 4 option power down menu came up and i accidentally clicked recovery when I meant to push power off, then this happened-
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxperrin:
Use volume DOWN +home +power then when the menu comes up press volume up. Then you are in Odin mode. You said you are pressing volume UP + home + pwr. That is wrong.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airmaxx23:
You need to hold Power, Home and Volume Down to get into download mode to flash MJE with Odin.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhufford81:
Power down completely and then hold vol down, home and power. That boots you into download mode which you use to flash MJE with odin. If/when you get into download mode, it shouldn't reboot. If it does then you have other problems!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmatulich:
I cant manually power down because of this boot loop, so i removed the battery, as soon as my battery touches the metal prongs to connect, the phone boots up and tries to boot into recovery , when it restarted I tried what all of you said, power, home and volume DOWN and nothing happens

Hello,

I would like to ask for help or suggestions regarding my old X10i.

My idea is to use it as wireless cd audio system (powered nonstop via otg-usb cable and connected usb hub + cd/dvd drive + some speakers via audio jack).

I found XBMC as best solution so far but I'm open for other opinions :) . I don't know if it's possible to connect usb cd drive to X10 and play Audio-CD if I use XBMC apk on top of some custom rom (which one?) or I have to build some custom rom or some other linux distribution (ideally XBMCbuntu or OpenELEC :P)?

I won't need camera, 3G/phone and maybe not even BT functionality that should give me more options for creating custom kernel/rom

any help appreciated

[HTC Sensation] similicious:
Hey Folks!

Yesterday, I wanted to install CM11 on the HTC Sensation of a friend.

This is what I did to the phone:

Unlocked bootloader using the Juopunutbear method (since HTCdev unlock was not possible)

Installed TWRP 1.7.0.0 recovery using fastboot

Did a factory reset using TWRP

At this point, the phone worked well, but the SD-Card could not be formatted anymore (maybe dead ..).

So I put CM11 + GApps on another SD-Card and booted into recovery.

Wiping (factory reset) froze formatting data, pulled battery

Installing zip froze, pulled battery

As I turned the phone on again, it only showed the HTC logo and warning symbols in the corners.

To get the phone working again, I tried to restore the stock software:

Flashing RUU the normal way - restore freezes

Extracting rom.zip from RUU and flashing zip with fastboot - restore freeze (dzdata)

Putting rom.zip as PG58IMG.zip on SD-Card and flashing using bootloader - restore freezes (userdata)

Any Ideas?

Best regards,

Simon

Your phone is shutting down instantly while still writing data, corrupting your data/system partition. You are in danger of damaging the emmc chip and and getting a hard brick.

Replace your battery then do a full wipe and fresh firmware install, you shouldn't let the battery discharge that low anyhow -it damages it.

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] nitol:
Maybe mate, but universal truth is every user prefers cwm flashable zips and if it has aroma to choose, then it feels like 'finally I got what I want'. The sound boost mod of [MENTION=4579645]wesamothman[/MENTION] got four options, stock medium high and extreme, so, one can choose his desired boost, if he feels it is not good, simply flash the zip again and choose another mod, no need to edit system files. Suppose I am a noob, I don't know anything, just got a rooted device, in this case which questions will arise?

#which file explorer should I use?

#how to open that file?

#how to edit that file?

#how to save the edited file?

#should I keep the original one? Or just edit the existing one?

which said i have to replace welcomehead96.png 320x320 should be replaced with the Image you want to set as the new boot loader image

I did that welcomehead96.png etc

before changing it i Viewed it and i found it to be the typical Green coloured WM5 image which we all have

i m ok with that

and i dont want to change that

Image i want to change is the one, when i Soft Reset the Device

4 lines/bars red green yellow blue etc. appear

which stay for a while before the green wm5 image appears

what do we call that image?[it is also called as boot load image?]

Can it be changed?
