Hello all ! :)

I'm not new in the custom ROM environment because I've already flashed my Xperia Arc with tons of differents ROM's. Of course I'm not a flashing expert and this is why I'm here today...

I have a new LG G2 and I would like to flash it with Mahdi Rom. This is what is already done :

- Rooted with IOroot25 -> all is OK because I checked with "Root Checker" and it says OK

- Install TWRP -> all is OK because I performed a backup of my current configuration with it

- Flash Mahdi Rom -> when I select the .zip to flash, I get a message :

- Unable to open mahdirom.zip

- Updating partitions...

I know there is a new problem with Android 4.4.2 about files permissions. So I installed "SD Fix" to solve this problem. I've also try to dowload another archive with the same result.

I have 2 questions now :

- How can I manage to successfully flash my device ?

- Is it normal that I can't directly transfert the .zip file to the internal memory ? I have to put the .zip into a directory and then transfert the directory.

Thank you for your help ! :good:

Does anybody knows when the new QTEK Rom update comes out? The last one is

UNI_QTEK_13096_185_10900_GER_Ship.exe

and is 5 month old.

Thanks in advance.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] zeer:
it is safe to assume: never

why? bcz:

1 all known bugs fixed (bugs that is fixable)

2 back-to-school season started (no free people to support old devices)

3 then no-free-time reason extends by new year shopping mania etc.

i think only community-developed firmwares will be out in the future...

[that's my point of view, of course]
[General Questions and Answers] EctopicILLusion:
I have been working on putting cyanogenmod 10.2 on my phone and I have everything I need and want besides a backup. I used Titanium backup for apps and system but i would like a ROM backup. I have used CWM and it wouldnt create a backup(didnt see any new files or loss of space). I decided to use online nandroid and it created a backup, but I can only see it on my phone (using nandroid manager and 7zipper). When I plug it into mg laptop and search the phone, I cannot find the backup folder that I see on my phone. I have went into my laptop settjngs and made sure all the files were being shown (hidden, etc.). I'm just looking for a way to solve this so I have a backup just incase something goes wrong. Thanks to everybody in advance! I apologize if this has been asked before. I'm kn a 16 hour trip to Georgia and trying to do this to pass time.

Hi all. So I bought a Moto X developer edition. Of course has bootloader unlocked. Question I have is regarding root. All i have to do is install custom recover and from there install supersu? Even if I have the 4.4.2? If i install the 4.4.3 update before rooting, same steps? Thanks.

I have a (sort of) similar question: I've read that Samsung S5's dev edition won't receive regular OTA updates. My friend has this phone but wants the DE and is concerned that it also won't get the OTAs. Is that accurate? I saw that the OP asked about 4.4.3 so I'm assuming that this will be updated as often as the non-DE, correct? Thank you in advance!

This rom works great on the Sprint Note 3, even though it's for the N9005. Since I'm not a developer, I'm doing my job of bringing attention to this rom. I believe it can be ported to our phone as X-Note was. So far I only notice that NFC and data isn't working.

take sacs s5 rom, copy over the ect , csc, and frameworks folder from system and copy it over to this rom and flash it, you should get data and it should fix nfc too.

Please read rule 12 before posting someone else's work:

12. Using the work of others.

If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails, you may then contact a Moderator and provide clear evidence that the work was created by you.

Convincing evidence will result in the copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence that it was you who created the work, then in the spirit of sharing, all work will remain posted on the forums.

As an addition, developers have the right to hold exclusivity over their work for as long as it is deemed necessary by that developer. However, if the work is claimed as exclusive, it must remain as such. No selective sharing will be allowed (ie, allowing certain people to use it and not others). Should the developer decide to start sharing the work with others, the work automatically becomes fair game for all to use, albeit with the relative credit displayed.

In regard to permissions, the same rules apply for this but if permission was already given and unless there is a very valid reason, it cannot be revoked (same applies to major updates on the work). Under that same premise, permissions cannot be denied unless the work is exclusive or under extreme circumstances.

In plain English: If you want to keep your work exclusive, go for it. However, if you are going to share your work, do it fairly.

These rules apply to all software posted on XDA (including but not limited to ROMs, RUUs, apps, games, kernels, themes, icons, etc) unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Murph28:
It doesn't seem to be working for me. I must not be doing something right. I am using these commands,

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery TWRP2710-RAZR_M-KITKAT.img

it appears to work, it says successful but when I boot the phone into recovery it is still the stock. Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclipse00:
I'm assuming you have an unlocked bootloader. I had that same issue after the initial upgrade to the new OTA and bootloader. I ran through a few steps like unlocking the bootloader again (may have not done anything), I used a pre-rooted RSD flash of stock and I used the ADB method of installing the recovery instead of using fastboot.

To use the adb method I downloaded the batman 1.2 recovery tool, just renamed the version of TWRP (in this case TWRP2710-RAZR_M-KITKAT.img) to TWRP.IMG and placed it in the root of the batman folder, then I ran the flash TWRP recovery option. Note that the batman tool was designed for older firmware and you should probably not run any other functions on it if you are on the new firmware.

Thanks I will give this a try. I may hold off for now I read there was a possible update coming. I would guess you would need the stock recovery to get the update to work.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezdi:
You could always flash the old recovery back. Since the soak test invites just came out it will probably be a month until it's released.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheForceUnleashed:
Two weeks at best, considering it's the 4.4.3, which is probably the last update we'll get from Moto, unless a miracle occurs and we're given the 4.5 or 5.0, which shouldn't land until at least 5 months after it's release (if it does release next week).
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewraith420:
I can't believe they're already planning another update. Sitting on jb we were all pretty sure that the kk update would be the last
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Either the KK build was just too buggy to ignore, or Verizon is making them close the bootloader exploit hole again.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewraith420:
It's a shame that they'd even bother closing that on a 2yr old phone but that's probably right. Too bad really. it's probably the only thing that would keep this device going for much longer. I know I was about to move on b4 towel root + bootloader unlock became available
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Yeah, I'm hoping the update is because there were bugs that were too big to ignore, but Verizon forcing them to patch the exploit is probably more likely. Definitely a shame to close it on a 2yr old phone. IMO, we need some kind of consumer protection law that forces VZ and AT&T to allow BL unlocks once a device reaches EOL. It would even be better for the environment as it does keep devices relevant for much longer and less likely to end up in a toxic Chinese burn pile.

I feel like the reason we got the exploit back was a Moto dev saw the device is reaching EOL and decided it wouldn't hurt to help the community by putting the exploit back in, because it would almost have to have been deliberate.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheForceUnleashed:
Well it's actually lucky that 4.4.4 didn't patch towelroot, so root, I THINK, will stay, but for the bootloader unlock, it's better now than wait with Verizon.

my request is can anyone tell me which app can i use to control it? i have downloaded many apps from playstore but non had this General company ac remote option in it. General is very famous company for ACs dont understand why no body used it.

any way, if there is no app can some one develop an app for me?:fingers-crossed: pretty please???:victory:
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariocms:
Well, Samsung's Smart Remote app (included by default in the S5) has the ability to control Split AC. And if the brand is not found, they let you request for the brand to be added, which, when you do that, they send you an email (almost immediately) asking you for some more details about your device, like brand, model number, and sometimes webpage of the company.

I haven't taken the time to reply to them after that, so I don't know how long it takes for them to add your brand, but at least the service looks promising.

Regards.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aami.aami:
well i have tried like 3 times and yes they reply with the mail about asking the details and thats pretty much all they do. nothing is done after that. i think that mail service is kinda automated one that is generating mails to people who request for this and they are automatically forwarded.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drezman:
You can try an app called "Smart IR Remote" by Color Tiger in the play store. It works great on my Gs5 to control my tv, amp and pvr, and it looks like it might be compatible with your ac unit.

Those who got the device with a locked bootloader knew what that would imply and what they are getting into.

Now you, with a locked bootloader, wish that there will be a big security flaw for all devices (also the unlockable) just so that you have an easy root? That is really selfish.

Dear Technaudio,

how does one go back to 4.1.2?

I really want to go back, these new updates are doing the Z no good as far as i know. The UI looks worse, the camera makes a chirping sound when started fast and now the battery drains like a moterh****er too.
[Xperia Z General] macshanemike:
One thing I keep hearing which does not make sense is what is this battery drain that everyone keeps complaining about, I have had no problems since updating to Kitkat. What is normally recommended when doing and upgrade like this is to do a factory reset when you flash so you start fresh, that's what I did and I have not had one issue. I would say to guess this next update to come won't fix the problems you are having or it will create new issues as each update does. When I flash this next update I will be wiping all user data and apps and starting again as that is the easiest way to make sure any new issues don't affect your phone. I get no lag no battery drain no Google server issues nothing my update that I have is the best update Sony has done to date. If you are having these issues factory reset your phone and I bet you 100% all your issues will be gone!!!
[Xperia Z General] Dsteppa:
Flash a .FTF file using flashtool.

Search the forum (XZ forum) for 4.1.2 .FTF roms, flash your device and done.

Be careful tho because if you don't untick that you want to keep your files, you will lose everything on your memory (SD card not included I believe)
[Xperia Z General] AntonyStark:
They do go, until they start again! Just like with the original Devices bug, you could reset and it will be gone until something triggers the same wake lock.

I'm currently on a custom rom at the moment, I've not tried with 4.4.2 yet, as it only got released for UK in the last few days, but it's worked for every ota update before. However, if you've changed anything in /system it will fail.

I will do it sometime soon as there's a few annoyances with this custom rom, as there always is, and I've never had any problems with stock and root by doing it this way.

Is this a root thread or a new FW? Please back to topic...
[Xperia Z General] DoubleYouPee:
Yes but if you're <4.3 and OTA to 4.3 or higher you will lose root.

there's no point of arguing about this .. Sony already acknowledge the problem, so it's not just a group of users being lazy .. I too did a factory reset when trying to solve the problem .. but it comes back ..

from what I can tell it has something to do with the location service .. so if you use them a lot, you'll probably hit them too.
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
Quite sure?

What about this case then?

Sure, it's a C6606, but it's unlikely that security would be less tight on one of the most locked down variants.
[Xperia Z General] DoubleYouPee:
If that were true there wouldn't be 15-step topics to get your 4.3/4.4 rooted with locked bootloader.

You would just flash FTF, easy root and OTA.

I was rooted on 4.2 and lost root using OTA to 4.3.

I don't see why you it would work for 4.2>4.4 but not 4.2>4.3.
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
For the same reason it would work 4.1 to 4.2, but not 4.2 to 4.3. The 4.3 OTA obviously includes a check for su binaries, but none of the others do.

It 100% worked for me 4.3 to 4.4.2, so the 4.4.2 OTA update does not remove root as part of the process. Common sense.

Besides, unless you have tried it, you cannot be definite about anything. Until that time, you only have a theory. I have practical evidence from me and the thread I linked to. ;)
[Xperia Z General] Bilal100:
I will downgrade to 4.2 and Roota, and then upgrade OTA to 4.4 when I have time. Will return then with answer if I kept root. I use Google translate, so please excuse my english

[Xperia Z General] SONiX-GERMANY:
You're on (re)locked bootloader i hope? I guess yes, otherwise you could'nt update OTA, if i'm not wrong. I've the same config, 101 stock, rooted, relocked bl.

Finally, will end the offtopic, will purchase supersu pro for the survival feature, just for the case. ;) Will report what happened when the update is available for me.
