The Active can downgrade even on 5.0 with this method. All I can think of is re-downloading this file again and follow the steps exactly...I can't think of why this is happening to you. I hope you get it.....This happened to me before but I re-downloaded the file and it worked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sivley93:
Don't wanna sound like a broken record but I've tried that too lol. I appreciate your quick responses..I just hope I can get something figured out, I think I did something to the bootloader on accident..When I click bootloader it just loops back to recovery. Kies no longer recognizes the device either. I just can't figure it out. Not an amateur at phone stuff and rooting, But this one is giving me the run around. Never had this much trouble. Sometimes I get something telling me the footer is wrong and the verification fails, Any idea there?

My PC was doing this to me if I recall correctly, I had to start using my Surface Pro to restore.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LuckyColdJohnson:
I had to take mine to the warranty place for a re'furbbed one. The mother boards on the S5 Active gets lose inside and the phone is badly built. I would just get another phone if you have warranty left or get the HTC M9....You can do a bunch more with an unlocked bootloader, plus its one of the best phones out IMHO.....Good luck and let us know what you end up doing.....Sorry I couldn't figure it out for you.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sivley93:
It ended up being exactly what I thought. I eventually peddled around and found the OTA update for 4.4 to 5.0, Stuck it on an external SD and then flashed through stock recovery and it fixed it up and it's working like a charm now. Apparently I'd done something wrong when I tried to downgrade the first time but I can tell you with certainty I won't be trying again. I should be able to keep busy with the HTC one m8 and OnePlus One lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LuckyColdJohnson:
Good job man.....Never gave up and you got it running...Thanks for letting us know..Peace

Soft bricked phone, please help!

I'm trying to recover from attempting to gain root on my s5 active (870a), but whenever I try to load the firmware (G870AUCU1ANE4_G870AATT1ANE4_G870AUCU1ANE4_HOME.tar.md5) in Odin 3.09 it fails with the error, fail(auth). Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is my only phone. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] notsotech:

What was the original firmware that came on it?

---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

What was the original firmware that came on it?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 09eric09:
Bit of a noob question, but before I rooted/flashed custom firmware my stock firmware was 1.54.651.8. At some point I'm going to have to update it, so it works with new roms right? Also, how do I go about updating without loosing my root?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berndblb:
The devs of any rom worth flashing always incorporate the latest stock updates into a new version of their rom.

Most custom roms update monthly. HTC updates... what? Every 6 month?

Just stick with the custom rom you like and rest assured - your not missing out on anything the stock rom may have to offer. But if you feel the need, just RUU back to stock....
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] LupacKid:
I have had this tegra note for a few days and cannot get my Xbox controller working.

It worked once for me while I was using ppsspp, once I closed the app it stopped working. I just tried the controller on my brothers nexus 7 2g and it connected fine showing player one. My tegra just showed all flashing lights

When I plug in the controller flashes for a second, then stops. I press the guide button and then it just flashes. Holding start the the gamepad mapper never starts.

I tested USB/BT joy center but it says no USB device found

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fraught:
Okay, so. I have an HTC One M8, rooted, S-On, TWRP, whatever else. It was running just fine until yesterday or so, when I wanted to switch out an icon pack, but wanted to keep my stock launcher, so I found Unicon on the App Store, and downloaded it (along with the Minimal Hero/Hera Icon Pack, or whatever it was called). As soon as I installed it, I started having problems with my phone restarting randomly, and I disabled the Icon Pack in Unicon, and got rid of Unicon (disabling it in Xposed Installer and then uninstalling the app).

That didn't solve my problems, though. I managed to somehow keep the phone on after numerous restarts, but every time my phone was turned off, it went into the same constant restart cycle (where it restarts about a minute after it's booted up). I tried searching for ways to remedy the problem, ending up in the TWRP recovery, where I tried wiping the cache and the Dalvik cache, which didn't help. I also uninstalled Xposed Framework and before that, tried disabling all the Xposed modules, nothing helped.

As things stand now, I did a wipe on all the categories in TWRP (including cache, Dalvik cache, internal storage, system and data) and when I rebooted from recovery, my phone was stuck with the HTC boot logo. Now I'm just letting it sit on my bed, showing the boot logo, waiting for it to drain.

Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: I did a factory reset (perhaps stupidly) and now, when I reboot it, it says "No OS is installed!". Since it's not showing up on my computer while in recovery, how should I proceed to flash the stock ROM?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenPope:
when you wiped the system partition, you wiped the ROM.

You should put a stock ROM on your phone and flash it.

Follow one of the returning to stock guides.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fraught:
Excuse my stupidity, but could you point me towards one of those? I was looking for that, but didn't really find anything helpful.

Also, I know how to flash a ROM in its simplest form, but my phone's not booting and I don't know how to get a ROM file onto the phone itself, because it doesn't show up in the computer when in recovery. How do I flash ROMs from the computer or whatever?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenPope:
I'm sure the search tools on this forum work just as well for you as they do me. Or you could probably start at a sticky thread.

You could also search for "adb sideload" and "adb push".
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fraught:
I did, and they told me USB debugging must be turned On, which I can't do, since I can't boot the phone.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tower1972:
I might have missed this but did you do a recovery? Within TWRP you have the option of storing it on internal storage, or the sd card. If you did the sd card way, there might be hope. Just hold down power and volume up and when the screen goes dark, hold power down to get into recovery, then restore the backup. If it was on internal storage, its probably gone, and if you didnt make one, well..wouldnt an RUU fix that?

Also you did more then a plain factory reset...that would still keep the os etc installed..you wiped that sucker completely clean :P
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenPope:
I suggest you make use of the external SD card and a USB card reader.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fraught:
Yeah, I know. I was idiotic. I'm just kind of a newb to the whole scene, and I panicked when my phone started acting up. It was stupid to wipe system too.

And yeah, I have an SD card and my computer has a reader for it. I can access my SD card, but how do I install something on my SD card from recovery? As far as I can see, it only lets me install form internal storage.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Take the SD card out and put it onto your computer, download a ROM and place it on SD Card. Insert card back into phone, boot into recovery and change location path to external SD card. There is an option for that.

Location where ROM is... of course.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fraught:
There is, actually, no option for that. I got the ROM adb pushed to my phone and got it flashed, though, so it's all good now (despite the fact that I idiotically made myself lose all my internal storage data).

Anyway, thanks for the help!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tower1972:
within twrp...where it says internal storage after you tap backup,.. tap those words Internal Storage, it will bring up 3 options..Internal Storage..MicroSD..or OTG I believe..I know mine does..I had 2.7.1.0 and which ever was below it allow that option. Well just for future reference.. And btw...dont cut yourself down..We all make mistakes...thats why we come here..to learn and maybe help someone else :D
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fraught:
I know. I swear, I tried, didn't seem to work. Maybe something else's amiss elsewhere. In any case, I got it adb pushed to the internal storage, so it's all alright, phone's fine now. I'll look into the microSD thing, but I'm still glad I learned a bit more about Android in the process of recovering my device (because it's a path where most is yet untrodden for me).

And yeah, being on xda as such a newbie is sort of daunting, especially as I'm pretty impatient with people who don't understand as well something that I do, but I always hope for at least one paragon who helps, and helps with patience and friendliness (which I did get, so thank god).

SD works in CM11 RC1, but not the weekly. The SD card is still found in recovery as well.

If I try and remove the SD card after it's booted it posts the "preparing SD card..." notification and then the "SD card safe to remove" notification.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] reshampanth:
I am not a developer but these home remedies might help.

1} Format your SD card from PC. Format any sd-ext partitions if available. Then clean flash CM11

2} Try some other SD card. Your might not be bugged!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] forkbomb444:
I've done some more research, and it looks a lot like a bug with vold, but I really would need someone like [MENTION=4869275]thewisenerd[/MENTION] to help out :fingers-crossed: Perhaps a more verbose version of vold might be needed? idk.

dmesg output from a boot (includes me pulling it in/out a few time) (only lines with 'sd' or 'mmc'): paste dot kde dot org/pyrxbgd9z/c5fjco (XDA won't let me put in external links)

It's not a hardware or partitioning issue. Running this bash script:

while true; do
if ls /dev/block | grep mmc; then
killall vold
fi
done

will cause the SD to appear in /dev/block and be mountable - and when I stop running the script, the blockfiles disappear but the card still remains mounted. fsck_msdos shows no errors when run outside of vold, TWRP works for the card, and it was working before.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
Ah, that! exFat is currently disabled in TWRP (in BoardConfig.mk). fixed that up with the current device tree (local), and will upload TWRP 2.7.1.0 soon.

About missing tzinfo, other people are reporting it too (other devices), and it doesn't seem to have any adverse side-effects, so, I'll choose to ignore it too (until it's (probably) fixed upstream)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkiieh:
After a full days of Bootloops, Errors and Stress.. I have finally figured it out!

First i tried Resoring my Moto G back to Retail UK 4.4.2, in order to flash this in the hope i would recive OTA's and 4.4.4. ( i was wrong ).

So, i went ahead a tried restoring back to Retail. using this

I kept getting Errors with System and a few others..

NOTICE: When using the fastboot method to restore/flash firmware, makesure the commands you are typing are correct to the files inside the folder, for instance the final firmware i flash using fastboot what got the captured ota to work was this offical imagewhat can be found HERE

was telling me to use the following command.. "fastboot flash system system.img" but in the firmware folder it was split into 3 sparse chunk parts so you have to type the following 1-3: (i used mfastboot v2) fastboot wouldnt work for me.

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3

(I did get a few errors stating 2&3 parts has issues with signitures. Its OKAY)

Also there is no "fastboot flash fsg fsg_gpe.img" in the Offical Firmware (if your outside the US) So just use the one already flashed, it should be okay, the new update has a new one i think because it isn't showing as 3G no more it is showing as H & H+ :D.

Once you have typed all the commands needed, you should have a working OFFICAL GPE ROM.

HERES WHERE THE UPDATE/SIDELOAD COMES IN!

Note, i didn't find this out myself... credits go to someone else i just noticed it and though hey ill try that, if your that guy Thanks!

Okay when your phone successfully boots. TURN IT OFF BEFORE GOING THROUGH ANY OF THE SETUP... DO NOT EVEN SELECT A LANGUAGE!

Use minimal adb & fasboot, and move the 4.4.4 GPE captured OTA to the folder, It will be located... C:/Program Files/ Minimal adb & fastboot

You need to boot into STOCK recovery it should be installed since you have just flashed stock firmware, enter fastboot and select recovery. you will see a dead droid.. just hold-in both Vol + & - and power for a few secound and release.. it will get you into the menus and select install update via adb

now open the cmd window at the minmal and fastboot where the update had been moved.. and type

adb devices (to see if your phone is working in adb)

adb sideload KOT49H.M004_5-KTU84P.M003_18.zip

it should start sideloading and ... BOOM you have 4.4.4

Now hold Right sift on the folder and right click and select to start cmd window here
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] flintdragon:
here's the problem I'm having. My daughter has an old phone that she plays minecraft on. We recently got a new tablet (N7!). My google account is the primary on it but she has her own account on the tablet so we can share but not mix our data/apps. Is there any way I can transfer her minecraft app/world/data from the phone to the tablet?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] skiman10:
You could use a backup app to transfer. When I went from a nexus 7 2012 to 2013 I used titanium backup to restore all my data. You could also maybe google what files the world data is and copy that file to the same place on the tablet. Those would be my guesses.
