[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Specht77:
So, the thing is... I had my phone(S4 i9505) rooted while it was 4.2.2, and I installed clockworkmod...

But now I'm with original 4.4.2 without any root or anything, but I didn't remove the clockworkmod...

And today my microUSB connection on the phone started to have "bad contact" (don't know the right word in english)

I plugged it on the original cable, on the original charger, with 20% battery, at 1PM, and everytime I looked to the phone, it wasn't charging, and I had to make little moves on the plug, to make it start charging again...

At 6pm, I made it reach only 85%, and it stopped totally from charging, no matter what moves I made to the cable, it just wont start charging again...

So I thought "I don't know how to remove clockworkmod, but probably it'll need the USB, so let's try if it at least work to exchange data on the computer"

and I grabbed a different cable (from my nokia N8), plugged the cable on the PC, and when I plugged on the phone, it started to smoke, and the computer turned off instantly, I removed the cable, and the tip that was inside the phone even melted a little...

So, the thing is:

I want to take it to the warranty, but I think they will complain about the clockworkmod (that has NOTHING to do with the microUSB)

Is there any way to remove clockworkmod without using USB?

I totally understand your situation i encountered the same my phone i got it exchanged with my s3 as its a new device i dint know a single thing and my phone was rooted and was on stock recovery and was running 4.3 i dint know how later on i realized about cf auto root now this is wt u can try this is a old method i personally don't prefer this but worth giving a shot

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2359132

And heres wt i did i downloaded the latest firmware and presently its xxugnf1 build so download it flash it via odin and VOILA u have everything back to stock i personally recommend the odin method HAPPY FLASHING

And AFAIK the charging thing its because the original s4 adapter emits 2a current and the pc i dunno i use to charge with my s3s charger i would have to wait for 6hrs for a full charge as s3s adapter is 1amp so i got a new s4 adapter and its working fine now [emoji6]View attachment 2821794View attachment 2821795

You can just flash the stock roms with the app Mobile Odin. Look for the thread here on XDA. Flashing a stock rom = also returning recovery to stock.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Mud3:
flashed twrp the other night, didn't realize it was the wrong version... apparently sprint needs a special one.

flashed the right one. somehow have no os now.

ran ruu which failed. now it's stuck on black htc screen with exclamations in all four corners.

tried to run ruu again, just says usb error.... don't know what to do next.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] evrdrandosity:
I recently had the same issue, you should be able to fix this by following these steps, keep in mind, continuing this process will unroot your device. Thus, you will loose all of your data on your phone.

first begin by booting into bootloader, then plugging in your device via usb cable to your computer, it should now say "fastbootusb" on the device's screen.

if you don't already have the the fastbooot files required for your computer, you can download them here: ftp.qbking77.(com)/Files/OneDrivers_Fastboot.zip

after that, extract the zip file somewhere on your computer, and open the fastboot folder. Now hold down shift and click on an empty space in the folder and choose open new command window here, or something along those lines.

Now that you've done this, type fastboot oem lock and press enter, this will relock your phones bootloader.

Now, unplug your phone from usb, and reboot back into fastboot, and once again, plug the device into the computer. Just as before, your phones screen should now say fastboot usb. You can now flash this file via fastboot by following the instructions below.

androidfilehost.(com)/?fid=23329332407568410

rename the file downlaoded to firmware.zip and copy it to the folder containing your fastboot.exe file

now in the command prompt window, type in Fastboot oem rebootRUU

you should now see a black screen with the HTC logo, type Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip,

once that is complete, type fastboot reboot and once more, reboot into fastboot

you can now download this RUU file from the following link: androidfilehost.(com)/?fid=23329332407573774

extract the zip folder somewhere on your computer

boot into bootloader, and once again choose fastboot,

plug in your usb cable to your phone and computer, and the phone should once again say fastboot usb.

now open the folder you extracted and run ARUWizard.exe, this will unroot your device and return you to stock.

now, if you wish, you may re root your device.

Hope this works, if none of this makes sense, mention it. I typed this up in a bit of a rush.

also, you will have to copy and paste the links, as I have not made 10 general posts, so I can't add direct links to my post. Sorry mate.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Mud3:
have issue with the first step there... can't boot into bootloader, i'm stuck on the black screen with silver htc letters in the middle, exclamation on all four corners. i'm able to turn off the phone using the flashlight trick, but when i boot back up it's to that screen every time. it's stuck there from a failed ruu, just don't know how to get un stuck...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Mud3:
okay, some more info here. I was running hboot 1.57 ( i did relock) trying to run ruu 5_03_651_3 i'm not even positive this is the ruu i should be trying to use. now when I try to run the ruu it starts going but every time eventually fails wtih windows bringing up an error that says htc_fastboot.exe has topped working. i hit close program and the rom update utility gives me error [171]: usb connection error

edit: and now after the sixth time of that failing i am able to boot into bootloader again! weird... and it says i have an os now... still wont boot up all the way, but it's no longer blank on the bootloader screen.

second edit: after getting the usb error again and again i remembered glossing over something about flashing roms not liking usb 3.0 or something... switched to a usb 2.0 port and ruu worked perfectly. now to try and get this thing rooted again.

[General Questions and Answers] seawhale:
I am really hesitated which one to get,

The note is elegant tablet with the s-pen which I like too much and it is equivalent to note 3 mobile (big note 3).

The tab s is expected to be released in markets within the coming few days, the best resolution and color saturation ever produced in a tablet, it is equivalent to s5 mobile (big s5) and equipped with finger print security, thinner and lighter than note.

Hardware and software are almost similar from all aspects.

Actually I can say that the main difference is the absence of s-pen in the tab s, other differences are not major

Really appreciate opinions and advices. Thanks

[Sprint LG G2] berz:
I wanna rid of the network notifications for my phone.

Like when i connect to wifi i get a notification saying i used XX mb and i have so much left and it happens even when im only on 3G when ever it connects and re connects i get a toast msg.

Toast msg is kind of ok but it even has the notification sound which is very annoying.

Is there a way to disable this notification ? or atleast the sound ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lord high executioner:
hi,

- is there a step-by-step instruction somewhere on how to upgrade a m7 (plain GSM, no provider) from CM 10.2 to CM 11 (i didn't find anything in the cm wiki which seems to target exclusively new installs)?

- cm wiki mentions a CWM recovery update -- is there a way to find out which version is used from within a RUNNING phone?

- since the M7 does not have an external sd-card -- is the part treated as sd-card safe or will the upgrade delete everything on it?

Thanks

ps: just found a thread saying that you need to flash both CWM recovery update and the CM kernel at the same time to prevent a boot loop -- doesn't seem right to me when the CM update should work via the built-in updater?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crótach:
Hi folks,

I'm trying to flash the latest firmware using flashtool, but it doesn't get any further than "Reading device information".

I've disabled driver signing checking and installed the flashtool, fastboot, z1 compact and common drivers for Rhine board devices. (I couldn't find anything else relevant)

I ran check drivers in flashtool and that seems ok. I'm using flashtool 0.9.16.1

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr mystery:
Are you on factory firmware now? If so try the Sony PC companion software.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crótach:
I'm on official Sony firmware. I'll give Sony PC companion a go now.

I thought I was not supposed to use it anymore since the phone's been rooted, at least none of the guides mention using the Sony tool.

But heck, if flashtool doesn't work I don't see what option I have really.

What I was trying to flash with flashtool was the firmware that Sony PC companion downloaded, then I decrypted it and created an ftf file from it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crótach:
For what it's worth - flashing with Sony PC Companion works fine, no need for flashtool.

Easy Root Toolkit v7 has restored root, and lockeddualrecovery beta installer 128 works fine.

129 reboots into a stuck Sony logo, so there's obviously an issue there, it seems that PhilZ recovery in that zip is buggy.

Now I'm back to normal. Still have no idea how to make flashtool work, and I would like to find out for when the next release is out.

Any help would be appreciated!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Starlith:
I had the same problem that you did. When you install the flashtool drivers make sure you install the flashmode, adb and z1 compact drivers. If your on windows 8 there's a process you need to do before you install the unsigned drivers.

In the flashtool FTF folder ensure your FTF is in there and if there are any other folders in there delete them as they are from the failed flash and flash tool will automatically refer to that folder every time you try and use flashtool.

Turn off your phone.

Run flashtool. I used the normal one not the x64 one.

Click Lightning icon.

Select firmware.

Flash and follow instructions.

I also forgot, make sure your computer doesnt go to sleep or turn its screen off while flashing as it will most likely fail again.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crótach:
That's exactly what I've done, but it's not working. I'm on Server 2012, but for all intents and purposes it's same as Windows 8.

I went to disable driver signature checking and installed the following drivers from the pack:

flashtool

fastboot

z1 compact

common drivers for Rhine board devices

Are there any other drivers required for this?

Adb works fine, I believe those drivers came with Sony PC companion and I can use Easy Root Toolkit and stuff like that.

Also, assuming I can't get this to work - is it possible to get a flashable zip file from the ftf file - one that I could flash using PhilZ recovery?

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] TagYouRPregnant:
Hello!

First I'd like to say that I am new to the forums, even though I spent a good amount of time lurking around and reading all of the awesome articles of root customization!

Anyways, I tried to research this on my own before I made a thread to avoid clutter and repeats but I can't seem to find a good answer, so I thought I'd ask!

(If I posted this in the wrong forum, sorry!)

So what I have is an AT&T Note 3 rooted with towelroot (I'm still new at this so I can't say if this is "complete root"...?) running on NOVA Launcher.

I've been trying to customize my lock screen while secure but I can't seem to find a simple app for that.... Now mind you, I've tried WidgetLocker Lockscreen by TeslaCoil Software and I just didn't like any of the options it had... I liked the fact that I could add my "iHeartRadio" and Shazam widget without having to unlock my phone but I didn't like how it also made my phone feel "cluttered" if that makes any sense to anyone. Bottom line is, I didn't like it. (even though I paid the $5 for it... ._." )

So anywhoooo, I was wondering if you guys/gals had any recommendations for me? i've tried googling and came up short... and I've also searched the forums coming up with nothing.... Please let me know!

Sorry again if I may come off as unclear.

First need to shout out the towelroot method for root and BL unlock: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2783157

SO easy and worked. Love it

Now that I have root AND unlocked BL, will be grabbing me some TWRP, backing up stock and trying some ROMs.

Question is: which one? I've read on some posts that only 1 or 2 ROMs work with KK-based phones. Is this accurate? I believe one post I read said only CM11 works, and its very laggy.

So which to grab? Do all KK ROMs under the development page work after the towelroot exploit? CM11, CarbonRom, Google Play Edition etc? Also, which has best,most reliable native wifi tether working? Any other big bugs among the ROMs that actually work?

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewraith420:
You can use the new or older roms with unlocked bootloader just now you need to pay attention to what bootloader + kernel your on. The test builds of cm11 coming out won't work on the old bootloader + Kernel and the older ones won't work with the new kk bootloader + kernel
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaronpw0621:
Just to clarify I am using the Droid Razr M (xt907). I had already taken the ota for 4.4.2 before i used towelroot. I have so far only got one ROM from [MENTION=4112553]dhacker29[/MENTION] to boot. Its a cm11 from him. I can't figure out exactly which ROMs to flash. Is it the ones listed for the moto_msm 8960 or the ones listed for KK???
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckfalls:
So I'm not used to looking for BL/kernel compatability usually I don't see this in the OP for a ROM, typically only see android flavor it based on, "JB" or "kk", which I thought would dictate whether a ROM would work on a device. Guess we need to look in the post for BL/kernel version (both which get updated during an OTA update?)

Like I said CM11 was the only one I knew of that for sure worked post-towelroot, that's why I was looking to see if others knew which other ROMs worked as well.

I know we can check kernel version in setting, if kernel matches a ROM then were bound to have the BL that matches as well, correct?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewraith420:
Only ones listed for KK will work for you now since your on the 4.4.2 ota however if you downgrade via fxz to 4.1.2 then you'll able to run the msm 8960 builds currently there are more choices once downgraded.
