[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VM0824:
I'm not sure if my issue is the same. But I have a very very similar one!

I am running stock kitkat, unlocked, rooted. Have been for a few months now without issue.

Yesterday my phone died, so i charged it while it was off (thought it might charge faster) for a couple hours. I figured it should be close to full but noticed it was only 20% charged. So when I turned it on, i get all the way booted, and can use the launcher for maybe 20-40 seconds before it reboots.

i do get a small amount of time to play on the phone each loop. ive noticed that im not getting or sending any sms (says 4 bars and 4g, but nothing going through).

i can also get into cwm recovery and fastboot so i have some options there.

what are my options? id like to not have to lose everything (i have titanium backups.....but they're on the sd card so a wipe would delete my backups)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Houtex2k:
I am in the same situation.

Unlocked and rooted

Stock HTC One Sense - no ROMs flashed

CWM Recovery

Kitkat 4.4.2

Sense 5.5

hboot 1.56

software number 4.18.502.7

kernel 3.4 10-ge12f77e

CID CW__001

AT&T

This all started for me back when I tried to restore a CWM nandroid backup. I was able to restore the backup but afterwards, the reboot loop started. If I factory reset the phone from recovery and cleared the cache and davlink I was able to reconfigure my phone and get it back up and running but if I reboot the phone, the reboot loop starts over again.

I can't even return it to stock since I can't S-Off using firewater or rumrunner or anything else in order to run RUU. So basically I am stuck with a phone that I have to reconfigure if I reboot it which causes the reboot loop to start.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try powering off from the bootloader or hold power + volume up till the phone shuts off. have you installed anything that would have maybe caused it ?

you could try and flash the stock recovery back to the phone and do a factory reset and then flash TWRP 2.6.3.3 and see how that goes

read above ..no 2 phones are the same... I need more info like you version of recovery / rom / updates installed / android version / fastboot getvar all / bootloader screen shot

read above and list the same things I ask them

same here .. read above and list all the things I ask above

Well my One just

fixed itself

:confused:. I was JUST about to do a factory reset and, when my phone turned itself on, I heard loads of buzzing. Well, turned out it was all my notifications and as VM0824 said, signal wasn't working. I waited a couple of minutes then sighed hugely in relief haha.

Good luck to everyone else in sorting the problem out :good:

Android 4.4.2

HTC Sense 5.5

Software number 4.18.502.7

HTC SDK API Level 5.68

Kernel 3.4.10-ge12f77e

I used cwm to factory reset. It seems to work fine now. BUT, if I restore all system and user app + data from titanium backup, then the issues comes back.

So I did another factory reset, and this time only installed missing app+data. It will take me some time to get my stuff back the way it was, but its working.

Now I have a new symptom though, apparently I have space issues???

1. Using Lucky Patcher, I ran into an issue trying to patch titanium backup. As it was doing the step involving creating the .odex, it told me it could not create the .odex or something like that. As if there was no room. I deleted some stuff from my SD card (even though it indicated 18gb free space in the data manager) and it worked.

2. I installed dropbox as my first thing since the reset since I store some apps there. I have an old version of swype (the new ones have been laggy) that I tried to install and it says "storage full or unavailable" when I click it in Dropbox.

Now the data manager indicates i have more than 18gb left....yet i cant find room for swype? I wonder if my storage is going bad? i imagine if there's write contention or i lost access to certain storage, that could cause a crash and reboot (hence the boot loop).

so how do i diagnose if there is an issue with my storage?

so your using a patched version of titanium and your trying to restore your data with it? Dude pay for the app if it's that useful to you... piracy is not acceptable here, look for help elseware.

i update to 4.19.401.11 and didn't change after all

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VM0824:
I did a factory reset and it seemed to fix the problem with one hitch. you can never let the phone die.

i have had this running for a few weeks now and as long as i make sure the battery doesnt die, then the phone wont start boot looping. last night it died -_-

i couldnt even get a light to come on and had to use a trick from another post about holding power + volume + bright light on sensor to even get it to charge. but now that its charging and I turned it on, boot loop again.

i guess ill do another factory reset and be more careful to never let the battery die......until im eligible for an upgrade lol.

Hello,

I would appreciate it if someone could find me a non-chinese stock rom for the SM-t321 and mirror it so I can flash in Odin.

I bought this device in China and the stock ROM does't alllow me to setup a google account. I tried installing Google Play Services, making it a system app, etc. To no avail.

I have so far only been able to find these two options. I cannot download from either of those since I am in China and VPN isn't amazing for big downloads

I even paid for premium access on the terafile site but I think they scammed me or something since I am still a normal member 3 hours later. Every site I found links to either TeraFile or RapidGator... are these scam sites or what?

Thanks

PS. I am willing to compensate anyone with a couple dollars worth of btc for their troubles. Thanks.

Any recommendations for software that'll backup my contacts? I really don't want to install Outlook, and I don't want to just copy them to SIM as this screws up the names and other stuff, as the SIM only holds a short name and 1 number.

I'm shutting the door after the horse has bolted here, as I just had to do a hard reset and have lost all my contacts that I've had for years.

I don't want to backup anything else, just contacts - preferably in a format that allows me to restore them exactly as there are: First Name, Last Name, Home, Mobile, Work numbers, e-mail addy, etc.

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dotfred:
New Version of PPcBckpContacts available

I made a tool for that long time ago, called PPCBckpContacts. This tool allows to backup/restore the contacts from/to any ppc running WM2005 or WM2003SE. Because the format of the DB changed between the 2 OS, two versions of the tool have been made.

The tool creates a .csv file, that you can edit in Excel.

**************************************************************************

Update in v1.6 :

- Removed the SD card presence check, now all backups can be saved wherever you want.

**************************************************************************

Update in v1.5 :

- Speed Dials backup/restore (.csd)

- Tasks backup/restore (.cst)

- Appointments backup/restore (.csa)

- Call Logs backup/restore (.csl)

Each backup type has its own file type (see above). Caution I changed the extension from previous versions for contacts (.csc). These 5 extensions are associated to the program, so they can be restored via explorer directly.

**************************************************************************

Update in v1.4 :

- fix for the notes (the contact notes were successfully exported to the csv file, but the import didn't work) (thanks lvlx for detecting the bug).

- VGA aware

Cheers,

.Fred
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] reRnge:
Thank You!

Thank You :) this will save me a LOT of time if my phone needs to be reset again. I have already had to redo my contact list twice because I don't use Outlook (and let me tell you, it is NOT fun).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] sdnatlst:
will this take all contacts of my sim so i can resend them to be on my actual device.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dotfred:
Nope, the contacts are taken from the pim database. I don't think the contacts from the SIM are stored in the PIM db.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] markmcrobie:
That, sir, is brilliant - thank you.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] street_hawk:
I've signed up for a free exchange account at mail2web: http://live.mail2web.com/

This means you can get all your contacts back by just running active sync and a gprs or wifi connection. A good backup even if you have Outlook as it's remote and doesn't depend on your pc!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tekknogenius:
Just copy the pim.vol to SD card

A quick and effective backup method is to copy the pim.vol in the root directory to your SD card. I used this method when flashing my rom. You'll need to use Totalcommander to change the rights of the file after flashing because it's read-only, then copy the pim.vol from the SD to the root directory and reset and all should be well.

All credit to the original poster of the tip. I don't remember where I got it from either either here or howardforums.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dotfred:
I completely agree with you except that it seems there is an incompatibility between the versions before AKU 3.2 and the ones after AKU 3.2

BTW In only tested AKU 2.3 and AKU 3.2, so I can't tell for the other versions.

I always copy the pim.vol to my SD card, but when I upgraded to AKU 3.2, I couldn't use my pim.vol, the contacts application just opens then closes directly.

The only solution I had, was to copy the pim.vol in the emulator on my pc and use PPcBckpContacts to have the backup, then I could restore my contacts on my ppc.

Cheers,

.Fred
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Menneisyys:
Use SKTools 3.0 ("SIM Contacts") to mass-copy the contacts to the central Contacts DB; then you can alsready export them.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Menneisyys:
Same problem here - it's not compatible. I've also elaborated on this problem in the Backup Bible ( http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1270&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 ).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] eprana:
Nice one Fred.

Is there a way you could develop this programme further to backup & restore calendar/previous call log/speed dial data probably found pim.vol ?

I tried copying pim.vol like you did and got the same error message when upgraded roms.

Thanks again for creating this cool utility.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dotfred:
You're welcome...

For call log & speed dial, I need to study RIL protocol and MDAIIIUser already asked me to have a look, and I will see when I get time. For calendar, sms, emails it shouldn't be too difficult... But I need time, and I don't have a lot! :o

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Menneisyys:
BTW, could you write a similar tool to all PIM databases? Then, your app would be unique - not even the latest version of SKTools is able to restore this kind of stuff.

I'll also post a news item to the PPCMag blog / on all PPC sites on this utility.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Menneisyys:
It is. Are you sure you've transferred PPCBckpContacts.exe to your PDA and executed in there (NOT on the desktop)?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Tref:
Great idea and a potential life and time saver .Fred But how about a little instruction, and more information on your program Sir. Must it run from the device, or can it be run from the pc so long as the pim.vol file is available on the pc? Is it intrusive, eg will it cause any harm to the pim.vol db when it runs? Does it properly include ALL phone numbers, and notes for each contact in the resulting .csv file? Etc, etc.

I didn't see a reference to your own tool in the BackupBible but I have to admit I didn't read it thoroughly. If it is there and you could direct me to it that would be great. Very informative article btw.

Thank You,

[Verizon LG G2] mbarry55:
So this weekend at least, the G2 is showing up as free for 2 yr upgrades, and I have a spare upgrade on my account I can use. I currently have a bootloader locked Note 2, running safestrap recovery, using a custom TouchWiz ROM. (no AOSP unfortunately for safestrap on the n2 :( )

I am wondering what the G2 community thinks about upgrading to this phone from a Note 2. Camera wise the G2 looks far better. The screen and battery are only slightly smaller, so I don't feel that is an issue, but how is it, nuts and bolts wise? Signal, reliability, etc. I see some GPS issues which may be of concern, and I am slightly unsure of the bootloader issue. I would prefer to unlock, root, and install what I please, and I *think* what I found is that you can push an older, unlocked bootloader to the latest update? Is that correct?

Anything else you can tell me that may help?

Thanks in advance
[Verizon LG G2] WeThePeople13:
I came from a BL unlocked N2 and personally I love my G2. I had no issues rooting or unlocking the BL and I was running 24A. I would hands down go with the G2 if you are looking to upgrade but if you could wait and spend 200 then I would go with the G3 that troops in 2 weeks. Just my opinion.
[Verizon LG G2] mbarry55:
No I have no interest in spending $200. I like spending free. :)

Am I correct that the bootloader on the G2 is easily unlocked still? Is 24A the latest update then?
[Verizon LG G2] njstein:
Bootloader can't be unlocked but the devs have found a work around that allows you to flash away!
[Verizon LG G2] mbarry55:
Is that the KitKat 24A freedom tool from MicroMod? I want to be sure what I am getting into here before I pull the trigger :)
[Verizon LG G2] kaslopis:
I just came from a locked note 2 as well. I just got a g2. I also have the task to replace the digitizer as well though.. I wonder if it's easy enough.
[Verizon LG G2] njstein:
The Freedom Tool is to get a custom recovery in this bad boy. I know one can use autorec to get a recovery, but I've read good and bad about it. I used Freedom for the recovery and ioroot25 to root.

Here's what I understand about flashing: if you're already running 24A from the official ota, then root/recovery, you can flash away (as long as the ROM is based on 24A, some are not). If you root on a 12B or 11A (I think) then you have to go and flash another zip prior to a ROM to get the 24A baseband.

I haven't flashed a custom rom so don't know about how they run. 2 reasons:

1) I feel LG did a great job with stock and with xposed, can do almost anything that a custom offers.

2) There are instances of screens being jacked up after a flash. Read through the development section and there's a dedicated thread that reports the issue. I realize warranty will cover a replacement but I'm too lazy to deal with that hassle.
[Verizon LG G2] mbarry55:
Well I did order one, so ill give it a go. Ill definitely check into the screen issue as that is a bit concerning. As long as I have root and recovery I'll be good. Seems odd that flashing a ROM would have an effect on the screen but well see. Thanks for the info
[Verizon LG G2] kude87:
Came from a note 2 as well. G2 is much better. Honestly the note 2 was annoyingly bulky. Camera is better on the g2, signal is similar, screen resolution is MUCH better, it doesn't lag like TW. Good upgrade. :thumbup:

The reason you're getting the size to large is because of the gpt partition. That partition decides how much space is allocated to the other partition.

FAQ

The quick launch ring remained unchanged. Why?

These apps are only that, plain simple apps, they doesn't modify the quick launch ring. To customize it I used "it.ptoti.g2_tweaksbox" app (search it in the store, root & xposed required).

I want to uninstall the QuickLaunchLock app but I cant. How I do it?

Go to "System settings > General > PERSONAL > Security > PHONE ADMINISTRATION > Phone administrators" And uncheck my Lock app from the list. After that you should be able to uninstall this app as usual.

The QuickLaunchXXX app doesn't work. Why?

These apps rely on other apps to work, be sure that you have the required apps installed (check the red remarks on the post).​
