You can flash between aosp and sense roms as long as you don't flash the Google play conversion ruu. That will change the partition sizes and you won't be able to simply flash a sense Rom again. I've been going back and forth between the2 and find sense to be the better, more complete software. It also runs smoother and more battery efficient in my opinion

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swame_sp:
I installed a bit older htc sense 4.x rom on google g2 (htc vision), which was rooted about 2-3 years ago. Suddenly after the rom was installed, I found the su rights were lost, recovery is not available, also had to get rid of this rom as I don't see the top notification bar. Phone is 30% brick as I don't know what's the battery charge, new notifications, signal strength.

I'm not sure what cause this issue. I'm trying to re-root again and the ADB is not working on mac (list being empty) or windows (SDK manager doesn't open). Just getting frustrated. Any idea or suggestion on how to proceed would be a great help.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swame_sp:
Thanks for the reply, demkantor!

Wow, that's a comprehensive thread for G2, I'm surprised for not catching hold of it earlier. Coming back, I tried with adb, it returns an empty result. Tried the kill and start server, adb get-state throws "unknown' as the output.

Most of the threads that I have searched is suggesting to have ADB working to either bring it back to stock or do any sorta changes.

Tried adding the vendor id of the phone to the ini file, that too did not help. Has anyone ever come across anything like this?

I've been on this for the past 48 hours, without a clear idea on where to begin and how to go. I'm still going through the thread to see if it will help.

NOTE: I'm able to access sd card, connection with pc is fine. Phone is stable at least for the last two days, as mentioned before, no top menu bar/notifications.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swame_sp:

Can you check out post 5 of that thread I linked you, really what I'm after is for you to write down all info from bootloader here
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Your issue with adb is that you have eclipse or another emulator open, kill that process and then try again. But this doesn't give information from bootloader on phone. If you power on while holding camera down button you'll see a screen with three androids on skateboards. This is important information
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swame_sp:
After killing and restarting the adb server, I see one device listed, I guess that's not an emulator. For the other command:

C:\Users\sp>adb shell dmesg ; adb logcat -b system -b radio -b events -b main

I receive a very big log, should i paste whole thing here?

BTW, camera button and power (vol down + power), restarts the phone, doesn't go to bootloader. Any other options to get in there?

I have rooted the phone myself earlier by using gfree (NOT Visionary) so should I be downgrading it to stock?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Well the log can be pasted into pastebin than linked here

Otherwise just be sure to wrap it in #codewraps

But still would need the info from bootloader screen

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
The reason why you are having issues is the system partition size, right now you have the engineering bootloader for the g2, which is good but you can't flash sense ROMs. If you want to use many of the recent ROMs or any sense ones really you need the eng DZhboot.

Check that main link again that I sent you and see the link for fastboot (How to why to) in there you will see instructions how to flash the dzhboot and if you want there is a PC10IMG.zip I made in post 30 of that thread that can also work.

Bear in mind that you will need to flash a new ROM after this as flashing a new bootloader will wipe system

[Acer Iconia A500] Brandon011795:
Hello, a few weeks ago I accidentally bricked my A500 in the process of installing custom roms. Today I finally decided to try and revive the thing. After successfully bringing it back to stock Honeycomb, I noticed it was only recognizing 25MB of internal storage, although I have the 32GB model.

My only guess is the somewhere along the line, new partitions were made and upon installing the stock rom, it was installed to a smaller sized partition. So my question is how can I re-partition the whole system and bring it back to how it was fresh out of the box? Also, if anyone thinks that isn't the issue and have another idea what could be wrong, please come forward.

I am looking for a solution which can be used with Windows or Mac (don't currently have a machine running Linux).

Hi all

Help required thanks.

I was listening to the bbc iplayer radio app when my phone cut out and tried to do a re-set. It was asking me to go through the whole set up process such as re-insert my wifi details and google login.

I did this but its saying memory full and there is just 225mb of internal memory. It also doesn't get a signal. It can't install any apps or even go on the internet. I took out the SIM and re-inserted, but no dice. Each time I turn off and turn on, it does the system set up again.

The phone isn't rooted - Nexus 5 and I updated with the latest software mid last week.

Any ideas? Does it sound like a phone error or a SIM error?

Thanks!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umb':
Hey,

so I've got this weird problem where Android apparently ignores the location of my wifi. But let me explain:

Whenever I'm at home google now suggests that my current location is not where I currently am but rather 10 to 15 miles away from my home address.

That is kind of annoying because I get wrong weather updates, location based reminders will not work on my home address and my location history is a complete mess.

Android primarily uses these three methods for checking on your location:

- gps

- cell towers

- wifi

am I right?

So I did some tests:

1. Testing gps

In location settings I checked "Device only" (so that it would only use gps for determining my location) and opened maps

-> works flawlessly

2. Testing wifi

In location settings I checked "Battery saving" (only wifi and mobile networks). And activated airplane mode to ensure that it could not use mobile networks for location.

Reboot (any kind of "location cache" should then be wiped, I guess).

-> works flawlessly

3. Testing cell towers (mobile networks)

In location settings I checked "Battery saving" (only wifi and mobile networks) and then disabled wifi. In advanced wifi settings I unchecked "Scanning always available" (so that it could not scan for wifi networks even though I disabled wifi).

Reboot (any kind of "location cache" should then be wiped, I guess).

-> does not work flawlessly. It determines the wrong location (that google now always uses).

I live in a more rural part of the country so it makes perfect sense that mobile networks cannot determine my exact location, but why would Android ignore the wifi location (as we have seen, it knows where my wifi is located, otherwise it could not have shown me my correct location in test 2), when I'm signed in on the wifi network?

I tested this on two different devices (Moto X stock / HTC One S with CM 11).

Is there anything I could do?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umb':

Could someone (who preferably lives on countryside, lol) try to reproduce this or tell me if this is how android is supposed to work (this wouldn't make any sense to me, though).

Have you ever had a GPS lock while being connected to the WLAN network? I would assume Google learns the MAC addresses and WLAN SSIDs and correlates them to your location ...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umb':
145

Yes. I'm using maps quite frequently (with gps enabled ofc).

But I am pretty sure google already knows the correct location of my wfi, since when I activate airplane mode and check "Battery saving" (only wifi and mobile networks are being used for location) in location settings, my correct location is determined. Since the airplane mode is activated it means that my phone can only use wifi for determining my location.

But as soon as I disable airplane mode my location is wrong again.

So I would conclude that, although google knows the correct location of my wifi, it just prioritizes mobile networks for some reason. Which is driving me insane.
