Hey,

I know the admins and mods here have things to do other than admin and mod forums, but I really wish that more of the useful guides we have around here would be stickied. I'm particularly referring to the Magician Upgrade forum, where there are great ROM guides being continuosly pushed up and down the forum list. Also some handy apps in the Magician forum like this and this and threads in Magician accessories like the 4GB Compatibility Thread which have become very hard to find through casual browsing - and people might not even search for these things, as they wouldn't know that they existed!

All I'm asking is that, somehow, all of our useful guides and developments be kept in an easier spot to find, and then it may also reduce the number of ('confused users' ;)) who post ('unproductive') questions, ironically the very posts that bury these handy guides and developments!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] kappen:
I thought I posted this but I can't find it so if its a dupe.. sorry

I had previously paired my HTC M8 to my car and it was working great (better than my S4 ever worked). I had to take my car in for repairs and got a loaner for a few days. In an attempt to get my phone to pair to the loaner I accidentally deleted my cars profile on my phone. I can not get the my car and phone to pair back up. I put the car into pairing mode and tell the phone to search for devices. When the car pops up on the phone, I click it. Almost immediately the car says pairing failed and the phone says the pin number was incorrect. There is NO profile on the phone for the car, its almost like it didn't delete all of the data and is trying to use it to connect to the car. I remember a bug like this a few years back and it required you to root the phone and delete the list of devices the phone had discovered. I haven't rooted yet and I'm also not looking forward to a factory wipe.

Does anybody have and ideas on what can be done within the bounds of an unrooted phone?

Also and this might make my decision to root easier. Its been a while since I used sense, Is there still not a way to get the launcher to rotate into landscape when you hold the phone in landscape?? Is there a custom sense ROM that allows you to do this that keeps blink (I decided to force myself to use it :) )
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] slapdaddy:
Is there a profile for the phone on the car? If so, delete it and start from scratch. Also, try common pairing codes like 0000 or 1234.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] munraf:
Make sure you have the advanced setting of "allow data transfer over bluetooth" or something enabled. Without this checked off I had the same problem as you. I think the setting is located in the bluetooth device listing when you try to pair the phone.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
What car model, year, etc.? Assuming its a factory head unit, otherwise what brand/model head unit? And if its a factory head unit, do you happen to know who actually manufactures it?

Unfortunately, the Bluetooth standard is not nearly as "standard" as you would hope. The sheer number of different devices and accessories made by different manufacturers means compatibility issues are fairly common; and also makes it difficult to troubleshoot such connection issues.

Try to delete the device from the car head unit, as previously mentioned (if you haven't already). Otherwide, try to see if your head unit has a way to reset or re-initialize the system. Just deleting the profile for the phone may not be enough. Such is the case with my 2012 Subaru Impreza head unit (made by Kenwood, from what I understand). Just deleting the phone's profile and re-pairing causes issues (phone will not auto reconnect whenever the car is started, need to toggle Bluetooth off and on again to connect). But re-initializing the system on the head unit (then re-pairing the phone) fixes this. Unfortunately, this is completely in-obvious and not well documented. The only way I found out about this is from a XDA member that happens to work at a Subaru dealer and happens to be there "tech guy".

Hello!

I wanted to ask quickly, if someone knows if there is going to be a Windows RT 8.1 final version Jailbreak.

I would really be happy about an answer!

Thank you!
[Windows RT General] SixSixSevenSeven:
You had a thread already. The forum guidelines state to use the search button before posting which would have lead you into the 8.1 jailbreak discussions....

None of the 8.1 jailbreakers have been banned from XDA.
[HTC EVO 3D] kl-lampertheim:
Hello,

I have stock ICS 403 active with HBOOT 1.53.0007 and unlocked resp. rooted my Evo ed using the HTC method.

I have also installed 4ext recovery using fastboot tool and tried to flash Cool-ICS-v18-EvoG.zip after backup,factory/data reset, wipe cache and davlik.

But I have got message E:can't open /sdcard/Cool-ICS-v18-EvoG.zip (bad).

I made a restore and downloaded again the zip-file as I thout it might be corrupted. Resul the same.

Then I googled and found that I can flash a ICS based rom also using the original recovery (CWM). I reflashed recovery again with original cwm recovery image.

Performed the same steps: Backup, factry reset, wipe cache and davlik.

But also there the zip-file could not be opened.

What might be wrong?

Could you please give me a hint. Thanks in advance.

With kind regards,

Klaus
[HTC EVO 3D] tom0769:
Reformat your sd card from scratch using 4ext recovery, or try another sd card.

Maybe it's bad.

Try to backup ther data on your sd card before.
[HTC EVO 3D] kl-lampertheim:
Hi Tom,

Thanks for yor your reply. This I have done already.

I bought a brand new sd card. But the problem still remains? Might there be a permission problem?
[HTC EVO 3D] tom0769:
Download another ics sense rom to check if it installs
[HTC EVO 3D] kl-lampertheim:
Thanks again. I Tried with LeeDr0iD rom. And I had the same. :( I am really stuck.

Could it come, because I downloaded with my PC and the copied it using USB? :confused:

I mean I can copy, delete, rename and move files using Total Commander. So I don't think it comes from a wrong formatted sdcard.

It must be something else.

Thanks again.

With kind regards,

Klaus
[HTC EVO 3D] kl-lampertheim:
Hi,

I could solve my problem. I redownloaded the zip file and suddenly now it worked. Don't know what went wrong.

No I am happy. :laugh:

Thank's for your support.

[HTC One Mini] andrew21:
Its 4.4.2.....
[HTC One Mini] RuffBuster:
If its 4..4.2 from HTC using updates from a stock phone use a recovery with the "new" partition layout like TWRP 2.7.0.8. And if it's 4.4.2 from here on XDA use the "old" partition layout recovery. The one you quoted should cover that.

Just make sure you use the CORRECT recovery or you could risk losing all your data and cause yourself to lose the OS.

Hello

Yesterday my moto x stock had an icon that told me that a new update was available, I tried to download it but it didn't allow me because I wasn't connected to the WiFi, so, I arrive home , connect the moto x to the WiFi network and go to settings - about phone - updates , it searches for a little bit and bam, it says that I need to be connected to a data network before I can download the update, but I'm connected! I don't know what to do... Please help

Thanks, beforehand

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jaybeerange:
I've been searching and reading for last couple days and haven't been able to find a definite answer. I'm using note 2 i317 at&t with stock 4.3 out of the box. I've been able to root it and get past Knox successfully. My question is can I install a custom recovery using stock 4.3? I'm wanting to use xposed framework and I want to be able to make a backup and have recovery optons. I've heard it may not be possible on 4.3 due to possible locked bootloader and the Knox thing. Any help is appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Just flash your custom recovery using Odin...

The Knox bootloader is generation #1...and does not prevent the flashing of custom recoveries or kernel images. .

Edit:...custom recoveries will trip the Knox counter...and void the device warranty. ..

Once you have a custom recovery. ..you can create your full nandroid backup...

Then you'll be able to do anything you want with roms etc....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jaybeerange:
Thanks I appreciate it. So if I do happen to get into trouble will I be able to just use my backup to restore things or use Odin to flash back to the stock 4.3 rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Not exactly. ..

Once you root...or flash a custom recovery. ..you will trip the Knox counter...(bootloader flag)

Effectively. ..that will void warranty...

However. ..This flag will not effect using your nandroid backup to restore the device if you should need it... (store that backup on your PC for safety)...

But if you don't care about warranty. ..then a revert to stock 4.3 is quite easy...minus the tripped bootloader flag....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jaybeerange:
OK sounds good. Thanks for all the helpful info. I did a lot of flashing long time ago on my old cappy but haven't really messed with anything this new. I appreciate it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jaybeerange:
I have one more question on the 4.3 boot loader thing. Am I able to flash Roms that are based on an earlier android version like 4.2.2 since I am on official 4.3 boot loader? I was looking at flashing a ported miui v5 ROM but I'm pretty sure its 4.2 based.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jsnali13:
when i check the properties of the System/app folder with ES file explorer... it says yes to both readable and writable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ArmStrongDickPunch:
Sry if I seem like I'm thread jacking but just wanted to clarify something. So with the AT&T note 2 on the stock ota 4.3 we can still install a custom recovery and flash custom roms and kernels or does it have to be 4.3 touchwiz based roms? If so can someone tell me the steps to do so?

The only reason I'm asking is I have both an att not 2 and a Verizon both on 4.3 and with the Verizon note 2 I had to use safestrap to flash a custom rom but can't flash kernels (so I'm not really new to flashing and all but new to the att scene and wanted to make sure bc I was told that with a locked bootloader I couldn't flash roms and a custom recovery and don't want to break my phone)

Thanks (also I only had an att note 2 is so I can get 4g lte on straight talk but I like having the note 3 features)

Again thanks for the help as of right now my att note 2 is a paper weight and if I can flash any custom rom on stock 4.3 it'd be great bc at least I wouldn't have wasted my money haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jaybeerange:
I have the att note 2 and it came with stock 4.3 and I'm now running ezkat 4.4.2 with agni kernel. So yes you can run roms and kernels. Only thing I'm not 100% sure on is if you can downgrade to 4.2 or 4.1. Here is the link to the room I'm running. It's great and has a lot of note 3 features and some s5 features.

Could you please give me step by step instructions since i can't find any on how to install a custom recovery on stock 4.3?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jaybeerange:
Here is a link that shows you step by step to root(this is how I did it) also you will probably need to do the tutorial at the bottom of the page for the Knox security. http://www.droidviews.com/root-att-galaxy-note-2-sgh-i317-on-android-4-3-ucubmk6-firmware/

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48392009

My question is though is how do I install the recovery (I'll read more into it but how did u do it so I don't brick the phone) and also how can we flash custom roms and kernels if it's on stock 4.3 with the locked bootloader? Or is it not locked?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jaybeerange:
I just used Odin and flashed phils cwm file. You can get it in either a flashable zip or and Odin flashable file. The bootloader not really locked from what I understand it just won't let you replace it with an earlier version. Basically no problems flashing roms and kernels and such. You just have to kill the Knox security deal with super su
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Ok I've never used Odin before does it say how to use Odin to flash the recovery? And thanks for ur help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
I think it does. Basically load up Odin have your phone in download mode and put the recovery file into pda slot make sure Odin recognizes your phone and hit start.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Ok sounds good I'll give it a try tomorrow I'll post any questions or how it goes. Thanks

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hello,

I have a stock RAZR HD and I'm living in Germany. I tried sideloading KitKat on the device since I won't get the OTA update but during the upgrade the device rebooted and is now in a boot loop. In recovery, no matter what key combination I use, I won't show any of the menues to update, factory reset etc. Is the device a lost cause? I was reading through the Droid Razor HD Utility 1.32 and that seems like a way to recover, but I'm a little hesitant.

Any guidence would be greatly appreciated.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
At the recovery image, press and hold vol up then press power and hold both for about 2 seconds and then let go of both buttons. You'll be in the new recovery. Install the ota again to complete the upgrade.

It's a two stage install. The first time you install the OTA, it replaces the recovery if it senses it's an older recovery and then it reboots you back to the recovery image of Andy lying on his back with a red ! over him. This is where you must do the vol up + power to go back into the recovery. They changed the key combination on is with the new recovery. If you don't go into recovery, it will then proceed to attempt and boot into your phone but it won't be able to so it will reboot again.

Once you are back in recovery after the reboot, go and install the OTA again. This time, it will upgrade your phone to KitKat. It could take up to 15 minutes so be patient.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
dont ust the razr utility, if parts of the ota flashed (sounds like it did) before you got stuck, it will just continue to bootloop.

were you running the stock us verizon xt926 software before you sideloaded the ota?

is your bootloader locked or unlocked?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hi, thanks for replying. I was running stock verizon software and the bootloader is locked.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
with your bootloader being locked and you cant get into recovery (im assuming you tried Ibolski's tip and still cant get in), you should wait for the fxz to get leaked. sorry but any other path is risky and likely to make your phone unrecoverable.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hi, ok i didn't see or try that trick. Yes if I hold vol up and hit power, i can now get into the recovery menu. I think though I need to use a different file to upgrade to Kitkat. Is there a copy out there that doesn't require all the tweaking to that i can just load onto my sd card and apply? I think that's what's messed this up is the file i used I just tried to install like previous files.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
there is no other file.

you need to flash the ota again in recovery.

the file first flashes the new recovery, then reboots to install the remaining files.

what you are experiencing is normal. flash again and the install should complete.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
thanks, i'll try again. However, since my phone has been boot looping i now have a low battery. any hints on how to charge while in a boot loop? Can i just run this while attached to power? I have a moto cable and charger.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
When i try to install from SD it shows:

install /sdcard ...

Installation aborted

Not sure if this is because of the low battery or not. I started the process from http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/45494-how-to-xt926-upgrade-to-kitkat-ota/ however RSD never shows my device, however I know it works as from within the RAZR HD utility, it sees the device.

I'm really not sure what to try next.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
being locked you cant use that link to fix it as some of the KK files (recovery at least) should have flashed and it will brick you.

also, if any kk files flashed razr utility will brick you

im going to have to revert back to what i said in post 5 at this point. sorry im not sure what else you can try that wont make this worse.

as for the charging, if it wont charge, you will need a moto factory adapter (google it) to flash the fxz when it leaks. they are $10 from team black hat and bypass the battery while flashing. it will not charge the battery it just powers the phone directly for those with a low/dead battery.

also check you accounts and if they sync without errors. It will show in acounts if one is not syncing right. If not, remove account and re-add
