[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToastnButter:
Reboot your device into bootloader mode.

Download a recovery of your choice, and a tool called fastboot.

Put the *.img file of your recovery (preferably TWRP 2.7.1.0) in the same folder as fastboot.

Open cmd.exe in the folder, enter: fastboot flash recovery [filename].img

You're set.

so the root doesnt matter at all, right? then i can continue with cyanogenmod installation right?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] know.i.dee:
If you'd like to use any custom ROM, device rooting becomes important!

Do as above, personally I prefer ClockWork Mod 6.0.4.7-falcon, but that's merely a particular that is not important.

Once in bootloader,

Hold left shift, right click on folder (or empty space inside the folder) were recovery.img (XXXX.img) is and create a .bat (batch file)

COPY COPY COPY COPY COPY COPY below

::Set our default parameters

[MENTION=279333]ECHO[/MENTION] off

echo. This is a Full Restore and will completely

echo. wipe your phone to stock you will lose

echo. all files on the device

echo. ---------------------------------------------

pause

SET fastboot=fastboot.exe

%fastboot% flash recovery 6047falcon.img - RENAME

pause

COPY COPY COPY COPY COPY COPY above

copy this (ensure you have installed everything else ADB Driver & have fastboot.exe, AdbWinUsbApi.dll, AdbWinApi.dll in the folder)

Rename the above recovery to whatever yours is called,

Run batch file, mine always complains that partition size is a mismatch, nonetheless it works fluidly.

Hi guys,

I hope somebody can help me with my LG G2.

I was on the Cyanogenmod 11 M7 build and I flashed a remote control app via recovery. After that the phone doesn't boot anymore it's stuck at the cyanogenmod animation. So I would like to wipe and install cyanogenmod again but here is the problem. I don't have the CM11 file om my phone.

I booted to TWRP v.2.7.0.0 and tried to mount USB-OTG: E: Unable to mount '/usb-otg'

I tried ADB Sideload: Starting ADB sideload feature... then I opened the cmd (with admin rights) at my adb-tools at my PC (Windows 8.1). The command "adb devices" says: List of devices attached Thats it, no devices listed. Don't know what to do. How to transfer items from/to the phone. I think I have the newest drivers.

Edit: Manualy I chose the LGE ADB driver in the device manager after that there is a device listed in cmd. But if I try to do something like adb reboot recovery or adb push c:\xyz.zip it tells me error: closed

I would appreciate your help

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romeo7151:
Hello friends

I have a HTC One M7, US factory unlocked 32 gigs model, initially it was running on stock ROM's but to get 4.4.2 OTA Kitkat with sense 5.5 i had gone completely stock, relocked my bootloader and used 4.3 RUU from Htc dev center. After flashing 4.3 RUU, i had got a prompt update to 4.4.2 OTA and it went smoothly. The phone is stock since then and few days back tried updating to Sense 6.0 but the phone tried updating OTA, showed me a red triangle and reported "system/app/google.apk has unexpected contents" and the update stopped.

Am totally clueless as to what is wrong with the phone now, how do i correct this error to get OTA update, i cant find the 4.4.2 RUU on htc site. Currently running on 4.19.1540.9 so can i again flash 4.3 RUU, then update OTA to 4.4.2 and then another OTA to sense 6.0? Or is there a short and easy way out?

Thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
please post the output of ''fastboot getvar all'' except imei and sn. There is a 4.19.1540.9 RUU so in theory, you should be able to run it and update to 5.11.1540

is your bootloader locked or unlocked?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaHiLzZ:
Something is off.

There is no Google.apk ...

Seocondly here is the checker file from OTA.. for eg.

apply_patch_check("/system/app/Gmail2.apk", "1320556b1253fba48ef13ca56a53c3bf1994069b", "73cf8dcc9241d5055c57317c92c1b54566206d4a") || abort("\"/system/app/Gmail2.apk\" has unexpected contents.");

set_progress(0.054699);

That seems to be doing some kind of a md5 check on Gmail2.apk before patching..

Maybe you need to re-run the RUU for 4.x.x.x (I have not been able to run it myself) and if incase it doesn't run, then S-oFF and go back to 3.x.x.x RUU, and then update away.

Last option will be restore a working nandroid of 5.x.x.x and install firmware.zip from 5.x.x.x OTA.. (I do not suggest it unless you absolutely have to.. good chances of things going bad.. even if you follow directions, specially without S-OFF)

---

ALSO...if you can get the exact file name, MAYBE we can get the ORIGINAL file from a working 4.4.2/Sense 5.5 firmware.

I am not suggesting this fix, but for more reading: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1945938 This is for Nexus 7
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romeo7151:
Thanks Sahil,

I did the OTA again to get the file name and got system/app/plusone.apk has unexpected contents. So this is where the problem lies in.

Can you tell why the 4.xx RUU are not working, any reason why it didnt work in your case. That was what i was planning to do. How do we change the system apps with stock ones? Read that thread, can we flash system.img? Is it safe? I would need to unlock the bootloader again for it, right?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaHiLzZ:
I am not sure why 4.x RUU are not working. You should try it on your computer however, as that will be the best bet.

You should also S-OFF before doing the OTA right now, as S-OFF will allow you to downgrade as a get out of jail card.

DO NOT FLASH SYSTEM.IMG... I just linked the thread for what the updater script is doing, do not follow anything from that thread. I REPEAT!!

Have you ever used Titanium backup or file explorer to delete apps from system partition?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romeo7151:
Thanks bro, will try the RUU in a couple of days and update as to what happens. No clue on how to S-OFF but read a few threads on rev-one and firewater. Should i use firewater to S-OFF the device? Hboot is 1.56. As you say, will not flash the SYSTEM.IMG, not that adventurous though :).

I have never ever used titanium backup or used root/file explorer to delete any system apps but did read that unlocking bootloader on HTC devices does delete a few system apps, maybe that is what's causing this issue or either it is just with this update, if those system files were missing, the phone should not have updated OTA to 4.4.2 Sense 5.5 when i had used 4.3 RUU and then did OTA.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
use firewater, revone is for hboot 1.44 only.

unlocking bootloader with htcdev.com wipe /data including the sub-folders /data/storage/0 (sdcard) and /preload (/data/preload) where some HTC app are stored (flashlight, calculator, soundhound, weather animations etc etc. Some updates patches these files, if they are missing, the update will fail (MD5 check will fail) and report i.e ''unexpected content in /media/preload/calculator.apk''. Unlocking the bootloader doesn't delete file in /system, however its possible that some /system files were modified or deleted using root/custom kernel/s-off. Thats probably why you have a "unexpected content" (Md5 mismatch) of your /system/app/plusone.apk.

There is a nice post from nkk71 that explain everything in details: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52894276&postcount=9

Only specific files are patched during an ota update, so in theory its possible to do an ota update even if some files are missing/modified. If the updater-script of the ota doesn't check for those files (no patch to apply to those files) there is no reason for the installation to fail. So its possible that your plusone.apk was deleted/modified before that update.

and BTW plusone.apk seems to be Google+ for HTC One., will try to find the original file from te ota.zip I have on my computer.

edit: looks like plusone.apk was patched in 4.19.1540.4:

so plusone.apk from 4.19.1540.4 or 4.19.1540.9 should do the job.

then

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

try this one, its from my 4.19.1540.9 backup. push it to /system/app and set permission to -rw-r--r--

try to update again and see if the script report any other "unexpected content" errors, if yes write them down and i'll send you the needed files.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barbacan:
Hello All,

I am afraid this not is going to be a short and easy story... I will try to be short

After the Stock update to 4.4.2 i got finally fed up with the fact that the long awaited KitKat drains battery like a power addict and decided to go back to stock 4.2.2 - which, for me, solves two problems - in this version the Bluetooth connectivity in my car works properly and the battery is used more 'soberly' as well as that I can easily root it and clear all the bloatware.

I found several stock versions of 4.2.2 - e.g. C6603_10.3.1.A.0.244_Generic NCB.ftf, C6603_10.3.1.A.0.244_CE.ftf, C6603_10.3.1.A.2.67_CE.ftf

After flashing them with the latest flashtool everything seems fine - battery, bluetooth,wifi etc. BUT the mobile data has the following problem: the phone connects to 4G, 3G and GPRS, but apart from Youtube none of the applications is able to use the Internet connection from the mobile operator. This to me seems like a problem with DNS resolution but I do not have any firewalls etc. installed or activated.

It may be worth mentioning that when Chrome tries to connect to a web address (e.g. xyz) for an instant there is a message on the screen "Redirecting you to xyz web address", maybe this is the place where it goes wrong? Needles to say that the connection to the specified website is not possible because "Chrome could not find the xyz page"... (this does not happen on wifi connection).

I would be very grateful if U could suggest a way out !

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barbacan:
Hello - thanks for this attempt, but unfortunately no luck with it. Here is what I did (please check if I understood you correclty):

1) downloaded - C6603_10.4.1.B.0.101_CE.ftf (4.3)

2) flashed 4.3.(above) with Flashtool (wiping all)

3) restarted - mobile data could be accessed by Chrome and other apps

4) flashed 4.2.2 ver 10.3.1.A.0.244 and then 10.3.1.A.2.67 with the data wipe disabled,

Result - again in 4.2.2 the mobile data is not available to apps other than Youtube ...

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazurczakm:
Hello barbacan! I've got exactly the same situation here. I was on 4.2.2 becouse it was latest firmware that worked with my car (Opel Insignia DVD800). A week ago I had motherboard failure, so I send my phone for a replacement. I received a brand new one with 4.4.2 installed which of course didn't communicate with my car. So I flashed exactly the same 4.2.2 file which I use with previous phone, but this time data transmission did not work. When I upgraded to 4.4.2 transmission was back again. I think Sony have changed something in newer phones hardware and they are not compatible with older firmwares. I've been serching for a few days, but couldn't find any solution... :(
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazurczakm:
Ok, I think I have found the solution. Changing APN settings from default IPv6 to IPv4 resolved the issue for me. Just change it in settings, save, reboot the phone and data transfer works again! :)

My idea is to replace the lock screen data with an empty null data

and the phone will be restored to basic slide to unlock

and from here, you can access your phone and insert new password or pin or pattern...etc

without format or modify any data "settings, media, apps, Rom data ..etc"

So what is it ?

It's a zip file that bypass any unlock screen

-Pattern

-Pin

-Password

-Face

How

Just flash it with CWM

[BACKUP FIRST]

Why to use it?

So you forgot you pass? no need for format..

just download it on external SD-Card then flash it CWM

Happy bypass guys :good:​
