[LG Optimus G Pro] HD2FORNICK:
Ok so i need a custom recovery such one did you use. I need one that can read the external card.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jdk2:
I used that CWM 6.0.4.4 recovery to install a custom recovery only. Once it flashes the recovery, reboot the phone. Answer No to the disclaimer in recovery and let the phone boot into kitkat. Then I used Freegee to install it's latest version of CWM. Ignore the warning if you get one in Freegee. It will install the newer recovery.
[LG Optimus G Pro] HD2FORNICK:
The last time I did that and installed the CWM 6.0.4.4 I lost root and freegee couldn't install another recovery but I'll give it a shot again.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jdk2:
You'll loose root if you answer "Yes" to the disclaimer CWM throws when you try to reboot. Just answer "No" and you won't loose root.
[LG Optimus G Pro] HD2FORNICK:
Thanks bro. Worked!
[LG Optimus G Pro] Akhileshjj:
Can you please share the custom recovery that you flashed from 6.0.4.4 ?
[LG Optimus G Pro] jdk2:
It was CWM 6.0.4.7 and included with Freegee.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Akhileshjj:
Can you be bit more specific on how did you download the 6.0.4.7 from freegee. As i see only install option available only in freegee but not download so that it can be installed from 6.0.4.4..
[LG Optimus G Pro] jdk2:
When I opened Freegee, it presented the option to install 6.0.4.7. It wasn't a stand alone version but part of Freegee.

Thanks its works

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ephixi4:
Hey guys!

First sorry if this is wrong subforum, or there is an anserw for my problem. I spent about 5 hours on trying to do this.

Firstly I'm a noob in this subject.

I want to flash rom X - Gamer or True Smooth. ( are they any good?)

And I flashed generic .62 on my phone (Xperia Arc ) but I don't know what to do next.

I tried doing all those drivers, CWM, kernel things but I'm just lost now.

I can't learn all the things in one day..

Can someone give me links to best versions of things I need and say step by step how to do it? (or link to good toutorial)

Thank you so much for any help guys!

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellek1:
you need first flash kernel, then you must open cwm and set your zip file of rom from your sd card :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ephixi4:
So I need to paste it on SD card in zip? K.

When I'm trying to flash it in fastboot mode that appears "ERROR - This action can only be done in fastboot mode"
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
Do you have unlocked bootloader?

You have to place the ROM .zip file on the SDcard.

Depending on the bootloader status, you have to either install custom kernel for CWM Recovery or install one in system partition, latter being more riskier.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ephixi4:
Yup I've gott my bootlader unlocked.

So what next after placing .zip file on SD?

"- Copy ROM setup file to SD card

- Enter CWM and choose the setup file

- Follow instruction in AROMA installer, customize the ROM as you like and click Install. NOTICE: in Extra section, unchecked item means you don't like it to install with this ROM, so it will be removed if it's already existed (in case you re-install the ROM)"

These are isntructions, so how do I intall CWM correctly?

Phone is rooted, I've got recoveyx on it and i installed CWM for GB. But I can't acces recovery mode. I spammed back button, volume down, hold it..

Please help..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
If you have unlocked bootloader, get custom kernel for GB (LuPuS or DooMKernel), flash it in fastboot mode, get into the recovery, factory reset, wipe /system and then install zip from sdcard and choose the ROM zip.

Having unlocked bootloader and then rooting phone, installing CWM via an app is useless, time-wasting and caused many issues.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ephixi4:
Okay I'm lost again.. I flashed Lupus and my phone didn't want to start. Blue led flashed but screen was still black..

now I've got android version 2.3.4 (4.0.2.A.0.62) generic.

Bootloader is unlocked (100% sure)

Which kernel should I choose to make this work?

Sorry I'm so nooby in this subject

K I kindof sorted everything. Thx for help! :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDM inc:
Ok so im trying to do something with mi launcher it might require apk deconpile im not sure but i want to re assign a key function.

theres something called one key clear (aka the task manager/switcher) just like in miui when you long press the home button. well this feature can also be usable one GB roms thanks to Mi launcher but the only thing is that you only can apply this action to the swipe down on home screen. i want to disable the built in GB task switcher and assign the mi launcher one click clear to the home button long click.

also as a bonus i would like to enable blur on this launcher like when opening folders.
[HTC Sensation XL] solquest3:
Hello.

I know sms are not that used anymore, but you know if there's a way for setting HTC Sensation XL with ROM ViperS 3.1.4 (android 4.1.1) for having sms shown in a classical way and not like chats?

Or if there's not a setting, if you know an app... I've always used Pansi sms but now it's always crashing...

Thanks a lot!

[Moto X Q&A] reno55:
I thought I prevented my phone from downloading the OTA to 4.4.3 on my Dev Edition Unlocked bootloader running 4.4.2 and TWRP. I obviously did not and now my phone keeps rebooting into TWRP.

Is there a way to stop this and clear it out somehow?
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Try using Titanium Backup to freeze MotorolaOTA
[Moto X Q&A] reno55:
Actually I think I can fix by flashing stock recovery but where can I find the stock recovery image?
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
YES, you can fix by flashing stock recovery assuming you haven't heavily modified your system. Flashing the stock recovery will make the phone try to flash the OTA.

You'll need to download the SBF for your phone here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0

Unzip the file. I'm assuming you already have the fastboot and mfastboot binaries as well as the android SDK.

Place the file "recovery.img" in the same folder as mfastboot & fastboot. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled (or manually boot into bootloader).

Type mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Done.

Good Luck
[Moto X Q&A] reno55:
I think I just did this correctly.......it is on Android is upgrading now.....

I can just flash a custom recovery now right?
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
If the upgrade is successful, absolutely.

mfastboot flash recovery twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img

download twrp from here: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/development/recovery-unlocked-twrp-2-6-3-1-android-t2534850
[Moto X Q&A] reno55:
Can I flash philz?
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Don't see why not. Just substitute the filename for philz recovery instead.

Get Philz here: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/development/xt10xx-philz-touch-t2612149

I have not used Philz personally...I prefer TWRP, but it looks like (unlike TWRP), that there is a different img for each variant of the Moto X. You will need to be careful to download the correct one.
[Moto X Q&A] frankie_p:
I got the XT1053 T-Mobile version, rooted, unlocked with titanium backup, TWRP and Xposed. I just got the software update notice and I am currently trying to decide if I want to update or not. Correct me if I am wrong, but from what I have read, if I want to get the OTA, is the best way to flash the SBF and update to 4.4.3 and then configure the phone again? Is there no way to complete the OTA without flashing a stock recovery? Is it worth it? I love this phone, but there are no custom ROM's that are stock based for XT1053 which would be ideal since I don't want to lose all the extra goodies of the stock ROM.
[Moto X Q&A] reno55:
Ugh! I am having all kinds of issues with 4.4.3. There is not a way to go back to 4.4.2 is there?
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
YES, that is the best way to do it. You can -try- disabling xposed, and un-doing any major modifications you have done (like freezing or removing any system apps). You want it to be as close to stock as possible before you try to accept the OTA, which includes flashing back the stock recovery.

SBFing back to stock 4.4.2 FIRST, and accepting the update, THEN flashing TWRP and rooting, then re-configuring everything and installing your apps is MUCH safer and pretty much guarantees that your filesystem will be 100% intact.

If it were ME, I would SBF first -- for whatever that's worth...

Good Luck

---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 PM ----------

Sure. It's just slightly more complicated. You'll need the entire 4.4.2 SBF for your carrier.

Do this: Reboot to bootloader

FIRST, JUST flash gpt.bin and motoboot.img:

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

Now you need to REBOOT back into bootloader (to prevent gpt.bin mis-match -- if you don't reboot here, you will get errors). Do this by typing:

mfastboot reboot-bootloader

Now flash the rest of the files:

fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

mfastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase customize

fastboot erase clogo

Reboot, and you should be back to stock 4.4.2

And finally the disclaimer: DO NOT TRY TO DOWNGRADE TO ANY VERSION PRIOR TO 4.4.2 .....if you don't want a brick.

It's ok to downgrade 4.4.3 to 4.4.2 because the bootloader version did not change. It is NOT safe to downgrade to anything prior (4.4 or 4.2.2).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Smac7:
So i tried flashing a new recovery and rom. here's how the process went down.

flash recovery

reboot

flash rom

clear cache - failed to mount /cache uh oh

try to boot - fail

reboot to recovery - flash old .zip of twrp 2.6.x

reboot followed by boot loops and no known to turn off device. Can't reach recovery now.

i do NOT have a windows computer which makes using odin hard. is there any way for me to fix this or do i need to locate a windows computer and use ODIN? does anyone know how i can at least get it to stop rebooting in the meantime?

Edit: i can reach download mode, that's all i can do at the moment as far as i know.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] xda_user_p600:
I had the problem myself.

Keep trying VolUp+Home, you must hit it in the right moment between screen cycles. Try pushing and releasing Pwr button too while you hold VolUp+Home, releasing it right before a screen cycle.

I was about to open my tablet to remove the battery but decided to try the last time. Finally I pressed Pwr+VolUp+Home and the right moment when the screen cycled, then released Pwr, and I was in recovery.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] bootx1:
Try pulling external sd card to see if it boots up, just in case the card is causing the problem.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] ultramag69:
You need PC ODIN... The bootloader wasn't flashed, hence the problem. Flashing another JB recovery won't fix this...

You need to flash the whole rom in PC ODIN, this may require a factory reset.

Find TWRP2.7.0.1 and flash that, it's KK friendly, then flash the latest supersu (I believe its 1.99r3)using TWRP.

You should now be OK to go, Android KK with root and a custom recovery.

Th only drawback is that if you're external sd is formatted exFAT you can't make backups to it. though you can transfer the file to a PC then the Appropriate file on the external sd afterwards...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] warboat:
I don't know if this helps but my Note3 used to have this issue and heated up a lot around the SD card slot right after booting up and would reboot and reboot. Pulling out the sd card helped a little, but to get it to NOT reboot, I would put it in the fridge or put a cold can of drink on top of the sd card area with the battery cover off. The phone would reboot every second day or so and I would need to fridge boot it again.

This was shi77ting me heaps and I was close to giving up on my Note3 when the 4.4 OTA update came thru.

After the update, the Note 3 became rock solid and I was getting 500+ hr up times without itself rebooting. it only reboots now because I shut it down and I cant remember it rebooting by itself since the kitkat update. I love my Note3 now and run it rooted (Kingo Rooted), with SDfix, and dont wish for any update that might upset this rock solid stability.

My note3 is the N900 Exynos 5420 version.

My Note10 is the N605 SD800 version and it runs 4.3 very solid and I'm not keen to upset it with a kitkat update as im happy with the way it is.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] mnt54:
actually, you CAN use a Mac

I was faced with the same problem when I upgraded to KitKat and needed to enable writing to my external SDcard by rooting. I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro running an i7 chip. I was running OS X 10.8x at the time, but have since upgraded to 10.9 since Apple reenabled local syncing of contacts--all these big companies play the same games trying to own your data.

I used Parallels Desktop 9 and installed Windows 8.1. Once I did that, I was able to get Odin running on the Windows side to see my Note 10.1 (2014). After that, rooting was straightforward, just as if I was on a PC. You may not want to go to the expense (about $200 for Parallels and Win 8.1) but I wanted it to run the latest version of Office. Being able to root was a nice bonus for me.
