After rooting your mobile install rashr

By this you can backup your stock recovery to your sdcard
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
What the heck is an Iball Slide? You have an HTC M8? If so, you should never be using any guides intended for other devices. Could cause your M8 permanent damage.

If your device is the IBall Slide, this forum section is specifically for the HTC M8. Likewise, don't do anything here that isn't specific to your device, except at your own risk.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaXi32:
Very confused with your steps. In step 1, I install custom recovery twrp and flash supersu? then in step 2, how can I boot up stock recovery while in the custom recovery? Did you mean I need to flash back to stock recovery? if so that should be step 2.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
In step 1, you

boot

recovery without actually flashing it, using the indicated fastboot command. The TWRP file resides on your computer, so its sort of a "remote boot".
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaXi32:
Does samsung work with fastboot command? when i use the fastboot command it said waiting for devices. The fastboot devices is empty here:

My phone is Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - SM 9005
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I do not believe that Samsung devices have fastboot.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaXi32:
Thanks... any other way that I can backup my stock recovery.img without installing custom recovery like TWRP/CMW. The reason why I dont want to install this custom recovery is to prevent the Current Binary status to Custom. hmmm.. i have search al lot but mostly they said about using fastboot. unfortunately fastboot doesn't work on Samsung

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasim9283:
m8, stock, s-on,rooted, 5.0.1, twrp2.8.6.1 latest, only dragon-fi sound mod and custom battery indicator mods installed.

made nandroid backup of rom via twrp before and after mods.

so i couldnt make stock recovery backup. can you share link and guide me , i seen the thread named ruu, stock recoveries,cids, etc, but i could not understand what exactly and only is for me, and now what should i do to get OTA if its available , if sense 7 comes then also i need to stock recovery for getting it? or its for only firmware updates?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You need the stock ROM and stock recovery in order to be able to install future OTAs (your phone is already up to date, so this would only be for

future

OTAs).

As long as you have a TWRP backup of the stock ROM without any changes to the /system partition (root is ok) you can just use that, instead of downloading a stock nandroid from the collection thread.

For stock recovery, you need 4.16.401 stock recovery.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berohan:
Question?

In step 3 you have mentioned boot phone that have stock recovery.

where to boot it??

i have to boot my phone in bootloader or boot into system?

and in

step 4. will i find adb shell when i boot into system? and what to do with it?

am a beginner i don't have much knowledge about this.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ink718:
Another option you have is to go back to fully stock and then extract the bootloader. You can do it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2729173 REMEMBER TO PERFORM: FASTBOOT OEM LOCK before doing it or it won't go through.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
adb doesn't work in bootloader, you'll want to be booted into system/OS.

shell is an adb command. If you don't know how to issue adb commands, use the XDA site search function using the term "adb easy" and you'll get some quick and easy adb installers and tutorials.

I think you mean "extract firmware".

Bootloader and recovery are 2 completely different things, and different partitions.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thodibhen:
I see imminent bricks here, if you aren't 1000% sure what ADB, or Fastboot, or what the exact differences are between them, you should not be using them. ESPECIALLY if you have S-OFF. Just going by some of the posted [clueless] questions; be careful, last thing you want is a $500 paperweight....
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabsbiler:
this makes me laugh. Hahaha
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Analog Kid:
Yep. Especially on newer devices like Moto Z2 Play on which dedicated TWRP apparently fails to gain enough permissions for system backups if not flashed permanently. On said device (at least; though it might be useful for a bunch of other devices running Android 7 through 8.x.x with same TWRP issue), do fastboot boot recovery.img; then, after flashing root method and stuff, you can boot into temporary TWRP recovery, followed by system boot, install Flashify, then reboot into stock recovery (cause Flashify does backup of the last cached recovery image), then back into system, perform stock recovery backup with Flashify and then permanently flash TWRP (or not, as you wish; although you may really want to do a safety nandroid backup with TWRP anyway). Now, when time comes, you can restore stock recovery if needed via Flashify as well. BTW: You can also flash dedicated TWRP recovery using Flashify right from the phone, but that's only if you don't want to get through the whole PC and ADB thing again. Why would you?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] slickdap:
I've tried settings>language and input>text-to-speech options and changing the voice there, but the GPS voice still is the same. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] eweo911:
I downloaded the free app called Ivona text to speech. The voices are free to download while it's in beta so act fast. I changed the tts settings in my phone to Ivona and Google maps is using the voice from it. Much better voice than what Google had in there. Make sure you force stop Google maps or restart your phone to get the changes made.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fffft:
Baring some unexpected bug.. just change the TTS library, then select a new voice. If Ivona didn't work for you, then try the SVOX TTS library or one of the other TTS packages instead.

SVOX classic TTS

Install the new library, then go to Settings > General > Language and Input > Text-to-speech options and choose SVOX.

I don't know what happened to my phone. All I'm getting is a message pop up saying something about the phones in a different mood. Then it shuts off. That's all it does every time it comes back here. Here's a screen shot of the message. If anyone can help me fix it please help me:(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] gabrielvl:
First fully charge your device.

Second flash a new fresh rom.

Or you just go in recovery and do a factory reset (whipe data, cache,)

I charge the phone to 50% then try flashing a rom. Still gives me the message :(

Try formatting everything but back up your pics.. Docs... Etc what is important... And do a hard reset
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Son Rise:
But I'm rooted I have twrp as recovery. Where would I do a hard reset?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] tkepk181:
What version of TWRP do you use? It sounds like your EFS could potentially be FUBAR'd........TWRP has the option to back up the EFS and if you have a TWRP backup it should have the EFS backup in it...check your backups to see if you have this. Give this a shot, it should fix the issue!!

If not, as he's recommending for the 'hard reset' it's under wipe and then advanced........just make sure that you have EVERYTHING backed up on a computer as this will erase all the data on your phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] tys0n:
Try this:

Go to /efs/FactoryApp/

Open a file called factory mode.

It will probably say OFF. Edit to ON, save and reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Son Rise:
None of my back ups have EFS:( I forgot to click box it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] tys0n:
You don't have any efs folder in your phone now?

Go back to recovery and mount efs, then use twrp's built in file manager and browse to efs and see if it's empty. I don't think it is.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Son Rise:
OK I will try it Brothers thank you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Son Rise:
I did what u said and this is what's in my efs folder
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] tys0n:
Hmm that doesn't look right. Those apk's shouldn't be there and it looks like you miss some files and folders in there.

You still got your IMEI, right? I believe only wi-fi, bluetooth, serialnumber, and a few other things is stored in /efs on qualcomm devices.

Maybe someone can post a screenshot of the content in efs?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] dyandell:
EFS Folder

I just realized you asked for the EFS folder, not the factoryapp folder so here is the EFS folder.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Son Rise:
A lot of things are missing in my efs folder
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Son Rise:
Is it possible if somebody makes a flushable zip of the efs folder? To flash through twrp and have my missing files back from the efs folder?

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpgranger:
First, let me say what I have on my S5.....

* Original Odex Rom

* Phone is rooted(Superuser injected as a system app)

* PhilZ Recovery

* KToonsez's latest Kernel(Of course, permissive SELinux Status)

* Latest Xposed Installer

* I "think" I deleted all the knox apps(Feel free to tell me again all that need to go)

* I have already fixed SDcard Write permissions.

Now, let me say that I get FC's on any apps that deal with external storage, and only at certain times. This is my problem.

1. Titanium Backup only when trying to schedule a task. Does it everytime.

2. Rom Manager doesn't give me the option to backup to external. Crashes when I go to settings only.

3. Beacon doesn't let me change LED pattern. Crashes as soon as I touch the button.

4. Other apps have crashed at weird, different times.

I have used Rom Manager AND Root Manager to fix permissions a million times. Also keep cleaning Cache & Dalvik. Does anyone know what is causing the instability? This is the only thing stopping my new S5 from being perfect.

Thank you in advance to anyone that replies!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] YoungDev:
Sorry, I'm a little new to the AT&T Note 3 as I was used to T-Mobile and their phones (still use their network by the way)...So, I was looking around to see if I could switch my network modes (e.g. GSM,WCDMA,LTE, or combinations of both). Its pretty helpful if you need to switch to WCDMA,GSM, or other modes. Some of you may know it, but I am new to this stuff and hopefully I help others who don't know much about this either. On your dialer, enter *#*#4636#*#* then press device information and you'll be able to switch network modes! Just found that out and wanted to enlighten others. Press that thumbs up if this was somewhat helpful!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] RoninTPD:
we already know this but thanks. And to get 4G on an att note 3 is pretty much useless without enabling the AWS bands.:o
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] PeteSeiler2010:
On all of my past AT&T Phones, I never had this stick for me. The phone would always switch back to LTE after a short time. I am using Intelli3G with Xposed and I can now successfully turn off LTE when I need to with a toggle.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Netrunner157:
Why do you switch to 3G, is 4G in your area spotty?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] PeteSeiler2010:
The building that i work in seems to almost block the LTE signal for all AT&T phones. There are a few of us in my department that have issues with this. The phone will constantly switch between 4G and LTE, this also causes the phone battery to die faster. Since we can't flash an unlocked radio the Note 3, the Xposed module was my best bet. As soon as i switch over to the just 4G by making my phone use WCDM only, I have no issues with signal. Using the hidden menu, (*#*#4636#*#*), and switching it to WCDMA Only doesn't stick permanently. I had this issue once before with my Skyrocket, but with that phone you were able to flash a RAT Unlocked radio or a non-LTE radio on the phone and that would disable LTE as well. As soon as i step outside of my building, my LTE signal is strong and I have no issues at all.

Hey everyone,

so I'm trying to flash CWM again on my p760 after i had to factory reset with the LG tool (since.... i'm dumb and had my cwm backup removed from my card before....... i hate myself), but since Windows 8.1 is a *** i'm just not able to install the omap drivers for fastboot. When i try to search the directory windows just tells me that no drivers where found, when i install them manually i get the USB Connected sound like every second and can't do anything.

I have searched up and down for solutions...but none of them worked.

I'd also tried the Nocturnal drivers (which obviously didn't work but i'm desperate)

I even tried a VM with Windows XP setup, but i can't get the USB to pass trough my 8.1 without having the nonstop USB Connected sound....

Is there any solution? Maybe a linux flash? I've been bashing my head against this problem for hours now and just want my recovery back :(

ps.: i also installed the Windows Hotfix for fastboot, but to no avail.

but after installing some applications i get notification "phone storage memory full"..

what to do please help.. but internal storage is still 400MB free (sdext)

Thanks
[Desire General] Saf98:
I think u have to activate the script by terminal emulater like how u do a2sd but I never used int2ext.
[Desire General] eddiehk6:
- Find out what is using your internal memory first. Install something like DiskUsage, enable root and browse your actual /data partition. It should be 147MB total size. It's probably filling up despite the script. This may explain the low memory warning

- How did you partition your sd card? Should be done with 4EXT recovery or gparted only, not clockworkmod or minitool

- Did you install the correct version of the script for your partition? I've only used it once on a different phone / ROM. I used in2ext4+ or something like that, suitable for an ext4 partition, seemed to work

You could repartition to an ext4 partition (slightly faster than ext3), and pick the version of the script which moves apps and dalvik cache to the sd-ext.
[Desire General] SaySayonara:
Why don't you try Beanstalk RC6 4.4.4 + mounts2sd? You will never have low mem issues.. specially if u move everything to ext4. The thing is you need a good sd card..
